Chapter 505

Prefecture, backyard.

When Liu Xiu has nothing to do, he comes to tease the children.

After playing with Liu Zhen for a while, Liu Xiu got up and left the backyard and went to the study.

In recent days, Liu Xiu has focused on the thorough investigation of population.

Once the population is thoroughly investigated, the interests of the aristocratic families will be involved. This kind of thing is easy to cause the reaction of aristocratic families, so Liu Xiu has to be cautious.

The Pang family, the Huang family and the Kuai family all agreed, and it's hard to guarantee that other families won't have any opinions.

Therefore, Liu Xiu did not dare to relax.

In addition, the royal guards under Deng Zhan have gone to all counties in Jingzhou for thorough investigation, which is also a matter that is easy to cause rebound and needs attention.

In the study, Liu XiuXiu is browsing the government affairs that need to be dealt with.

"Step on it! Step on it

A sound of footsteps came in from the outside, but Deng Zhan came in and reported: "Lord, there is a man from outside the mansion, a member of the Pang family."

"Please

Liu Xiu gave the order directly.

After Deng Zhan stepped down, a servant came in. Liu Xiu also knew this attendant. In the past, when the pangs came to deliver messages, they mostly came to deliver them.

Liu Xiu asked, "what can I do for you?"

The valet stooped to his feet and reported, "I'd like to report back to you, master. Please come to Fengping ferry this afternoon."

"Fengping ferry?"

Liu Xiu is not familiar with Fengping ferry and looks at Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan said with a smile: "Lord, Fengping ferry is located in the south of Xiangyang City. It's a ferry to take a boat. By boat from Fengping ferry, you can go south to Yicheng County and other places. "

Liu Xiu did not doubt it, and said, "I know!"

The attendant bowed his hand and left the study.

Deng Zhan immediately stepped down to deal with his own affairs, while Liu Xiu stayed in his study and continued to deal with government affairs.

About half an hour later, Deng Zhan came again: "Lord, the people of the Huang family want to see you."

"Please

Liu Xiu waved his hand and arranged it directly.

Not long after, the Huang family's attendants entered the study. Liu Xiu's eyes fell on the Huang family's attendants, who he also knew and who was next to Huang Chengyan. When he met something or had any arrangements, he came to convey the news.

Liu Xiu said, "what's the matter with my father-in-law?"

"My Lord, please arrive at Fengping ferry before Shenshi this afternoon," the valet reported

Liu Xiu eyebrows slightly frown, how to notice.

Liu Xiu asked, "what is it?"

The attendant shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know. Go down."

After retiring, Liu Xiu's heart was a little confused. As usual, all the discussions were held at the house of Mr. pound or Mr. Huang Chengyan. This time, it was Fengping ferry. In addition, it's often enough to inform things by one person. This time, it was Pang Degong's and Huang Chengyan's people who informed them first and then, which is quite strange.

However, Liu Xiu believed Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, and did not doubt them.

After all, it's not unusual to choose Fengping ferry.

It was still the morning, and it was still early in the afternoon. After Liu Xiu waved Deng Zhan to step down, Liu Xiu continued to settle down to deal with the government affairs.

After Deng Zhan stepped down, he went to his government to deal with the new news.

The royal guards moved, Jingzhou is full of royal guards spies, and the news is quite a lot.

A piece of News reported up, Deng Zhan constantly deal with.

The more he checked, the more frightened and excited Deng Zhan was.

Because of the news, at least five of the ten poor officials have committed bribery, which is related to the bottom line set by Liu Xiu.

These officials must also be punished.

After lunch, in the late afternoon.

Deng Zhan stayed in the Yamen to deal with the constant news.

"Step on it! Step on it

A sound of footsteps came in, and a royal captain came in.

The captain bowed and said, "general, the poor officials in Xiangyang have made some moves."

"Oh, tell me?"

Deng Zhan's face brightened and he became very excited.

Since Liu Xiu issued the news to investigate the poor officials, Deng Zhan monitored the poor officials who stayed in Xiangyang. Apart from not letting them leave Xiangyang, everything else is free.

"Some officials from poor families have found their families. It seems that they are looking forward to and seeking the help of their families," Xiaowei reported

With a cold look in his eyes, Deng Zhan said: "it's hard for the aristocratic families to protect themselves. Do they want to collude when they find help from the aristocratic families? These people are under close surveillance. ""No!"

In response to the order, the Xiaowei said, "in addition, there are several other people who have found another way to find Mr. pound and Mr. Huang Chengyan."

"Looking for them? That's self humiliation. "

Deng Zhan gave a cold smile. Both Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan supported Liu Xiu and could not help corrupt officials. "

The Xiaowei laughed and said respectfully, "the general has a point. They went to find Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan. That's absolutely self humiliating. They can't succeed at all. It's ridiculous that these poor officials went to lumen mountain early in the morning, and they are still on it now. Hum, it's not so easy to visit Mr. pound and Mr. Huang Chengyan. "

On hearing this, Deng Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "aren't Pang Gong and Huang Gong in the city? What are they doing in lumen mountain? "

Xiaowei replied: "listen to the people below, Pang Gong and Huang Gong left the city this morning and went to the direction of lumen mountain. Up to now, no one has returned to the city. "

After listening to Deng Zhan, he immediately fell silent.

I went to lumen mountain!

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan are in lumen mountain. It's not right.

Deng Zhanmao stood up and asked again, "are you sure Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan didn't return to the city?"

On hearing this, the captain scratched his head and became uncertain again.

Deng Zhan thought about it and said, "go to the gate immediately and ask the soldiers to see if Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan have returned to the city. Remember, don't leak the news."

"Yes

Xiaowei doesn't understand Deng Zhan's meaning, but he can only arrange it obediently.

About two quarters of an hour later, the captain came back short of breath. The captain went to inquire about the news on horseback. He ran all the way, so he was a little short of breath.

Xiaowei stood in front of Deng Zhan and reported: "general, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong did not return to the city."

"I see. Go down!"

Deng Zhan waved his hand and asked the captain to step down.

Just as the captain was about to leave the room, Deng Zhan said, "stop!"

At this time, Deng Zhan stood up and said: "remember, this news is not allowed to leak out."

"Yes

The captain didn't know what the secret was.

But Deng Zhan didn't explain, so he went straight to Liu Xiu's study. After he entered the study, he happened to see Liu Xiu, who had already changed a pair.

Liu Xiu shook his robes and said, "Deng Zhan, you've come just in time. Let's get ready. Let's go to Fengping ferry."

Deng Zhan solemnly said, "Lord, I suggest you not go to Fengping ferry."

"Why?" Liu Xiu asked.

At this time, Liu Xiu felt a little strange. Why did Deng Zhan suddenly suggest that he should not go?

Deng Zhan said: "when I heard the news from the soldiers just now, I happened to know that Pang Gong and Huang Gong had gone to lumen mountain in the morning and have not returned to the city yet. From lumen mountain to Fengping ferry, not one and a half hours is enough. But now to the appointed review, there is not much time left, but they have not come back, so it is definitely impossible for them to go to the meeting. "

Liu Xiumei first pick, pound De Gong and Huang Chengyan actually went to lumen mountain.

However, it was agreed to be at Fengping ferry!

It suddenly occurred to Liu Xiu that in the morning, the pangs and the Huangs came to deliver the news one after another, and they all agreed to be at Fengping ferry. For a moment, when he thought that Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan were no longer going out to Xiangyang City, he had a guess in his heart.

Trap!

This is a trap designed by someone who wants to let Liu Xiu go to Fengping ferry.

When Liu Xiusheng came up with this idea, his mind began to work quickly. He deliberated little by little, thinking about the whole thing. The more he pondered, the more wrong he was.
