Chapter 74: Chaos gradually grows

As the voice fell, Liu Fan also stalked and walked in. His eyes glanced around and locked directly on the short-sized Zhang Song.

In fact, when Liu Fan entered the city, Zhang Song was also among the crowd, but maybe he was too ordinary to attract attention, so Liu Fan did not pay attention to him at all. At least compared to his majestic brother, Zhang Su, he was not attractive.

However, after paying special attention to Zhang Song at this time, he could quickly discover him.

"When I was in Hanzhong, I heard that Zhang Ziqiao, a county in Yizhou, had the ability to remember everything I saw. I longed for it for a long time. When I saw it today, I wanted to learn more."

He stood up and bowed. Listening to Liu Fan's praise, Zhang Song smiled with a smile on his lips, but he was not humble. Seeing him like this, Liu Fan also understood in his heart that he was probably coming today with the intention of self-recommendation.

"There are many talented people in the capital, and the remote people in Songshu County are afraid that they will not be as good as those in the Central Plains."

"Zi Qiao is too humble." Looking at Zhang Song's words that came out quietly for a while, and half-respectful words, Liu Fan also began to change the topic, "Since Zi Qiao has the ability to remember everything, I guess that directory will be remembered in your heart after reading it at first glance?"

"Not bad!" Nodded and admitted, Zhang Song did not deny it, "At that time, Shen Mi of Ba County found me and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhonglang General returning to Shu County to perform assassination. I knew that his mind was not small, so I slandered him to make a fool of himself to obtain all the situation in his hands."

As he said that, Zhang Song also pointed to the paper placed on the case in front of Fa Zheng, "I know from this that Shen Mi not only wanted to make a rebellion in Chengdu, but also wanted to contact other wealthy families in the state, and took advantage of the change of power of the Mufu Mansion to launch a rebellion in the state. The list of wealthy families he contacted was also copied on paper by me. Xiaozhi had read it just now."

After looking at Fa Zheng, seeing him nodding slightly, Liu Fan also smiled, picked up the paper, opened it for a while, then looked up at Zhang Song, and suddenly laughed: "Everyone said that Zi Qiao never forgets everything. I wonder if he can still tell the name of the person on this at this time?"

With a normal expression, Zhang Song recalled a little and began to mention the names on the list one by one. He smiled and said word by word, Liu Fan finally confirmed that it was not his intentional fabrication, nor was it prepared in advance.

If he had prepared in advance, he would have pronounced these names casually. Only the reaction of recalling hastily before and can be considered true.

With a smile, he put the paper back on Fazheng's case, Liu Fancai said loudly: "A person with outstanding talents like Ziqiao is the shortage of talents in the state. I wonder if you want to join the state's governor's office as an official. I would like to recommend you to the state's governor!"

With a smile on his face, Liu Fan bowed, "Song is used to being idle and tired, and is afraid he is not suitable for life in the Mu Mansion. This time, he just wanted to inform the Zuo Zhonglang and Mu Bo of the United States. Since the two of you already know, Song returned!"

"This, why bother with Ziqiao!" Liu Fan seemed to have no idea that Zhang Song would refuse, "Now it is the time when the Mu Mansion lacks talent, why don't Ziqiao stay here? It's okay for us to run the prefectures and counties together!"

However, the more Liu Fan tried to keep him, the more determined Zhang Song's farewell behavior became. "No, there are so many talented people in Yizhou, so why don't I, Zhang Song, be alone? I am really not competent. Please forgive me, Bo Mu and the young master!" After that, Zhang Song bowed, took a few steps back, turned around and was about to leave.

He quickly followed Zhang Song closely, and Liu Fan was extremely reluctant to leave, "Zi Qiao's contribution to the list this time is a great achievement. I will be able to seek fame and fortune from my father for you! Why do you have to leave!"

With one hand on his back, Zhang Song did not stop walking out, even though Liu Fan was next to him. He glanced at him in slightest, and Zhang Song was also depressed. Liu Fan said that he would not even give up an accurate position, so how could he agree?

He could treat the first sentence as a polite sentence, but the second sentence directly revealed fame and fortune. Although Zhang Song was confused, fortunately, he had already completed two steps. As long as he kept it for the last time, Zhang Song could agree.

However, until Liu Fan chased Zhang Song all the way to the gate of the Mu Mansion, he had not said the third sentence to keep him. He bowed and bowed. When Zhang Song was about to say goodbye, Liu Fan finally spoke.

"Zi Qiao, will you teach and teach when you go back this time?"

With one sentence, Zhang Song was stunned. He never thought that Liu Fan was asking this question at this moment. After a while, Zhang Song said in a hurry: "Song Cai is a little uninformed and knowledgeable. You may have to read and write more books first and then think about other things!"

Suddenly nodded, Liu Fan seemed to understand. But seeing his reaction, Zhang Song hurriedly bowed and left as if he was running away.

It was not until Zhang Song's figure disappeared from the corner that Liu Fan turned slowly back to the provincial Mu Mansion, and Fa Zheng looked at him with a smile, "Why didn't the lord keep Zhang Ziqiao?"

"Then why don't you agree to cooperate with him first?" Without answering Fa Zheng, Liu Fan asked back.

Fa Zheng shook his head and chuckled, feeling helpless: "He Zhang family is a prominent family in Shu County. How dare I make an agreement with him easily? If there is any trap in it, wouldn't I become the sinner who harmed the lord and Mu Bo?"

He shook his head and looked at him with a smile. Liu Fan looked helpless, "You, just look down on Zhang Song's hypocrisy, you still have to say so well."

With a grin, Fa Zheng followed Liu Fan to the lobby of the Mu Mansion. Yes, with Fa Zheng's intelligence, he could naturally see Zhang Song's two-faced character. He probably started to operate this matter before Liu Fan entered Bashu.

While instigating Shen Mi to plan the turmoil of Yizhou, he secretly observed the situation of Liu Yan and his sons. If Liu Fan was as weak as Liu Zhang, he would let Shen Mi go to cause trouble, and then stood up to deal with the rebels for him, and made a name for himself.

But if Liu Fan is extremely strong, he will be the first Bashu clan to serve and become Liu Fan’s reliance in Yizhou!

The current situation is indeed the case. If Liu Fan forced Zhang Song to stay, he would become the number one Yizhou strategist under Liu Fan, and his status could not be shaken.

Unfortunately, Liu Fan did not keep him as he planned.

Liu Fan didn't know what kind of confusion and helplessness Zhang Song returned to his house, but he knew that from now on, the suppressed turmoil in Yizhou might really begin.

"Has the lord hurried out of the city and recovered the brave man Gan?" Fa Zheng asked himself after Liu Fan's side.

Turning his head to look at him, Liu Fan sometimes really wasn't happy to talk to these clever things, and could guess anything, without any sense of accomplishment. He nodded in a cowardly manner, "I caught up with you, tried bravery, and may be slightly better than Gongming."

"So powerful?" Fa Zheng was surprised. Xu Huang was really surprised. Xu Huang could be regarded as the most powerful general he had ever seen. Otherwise, Fa Zheng would not have let him attack in Baozhongcheng. Now, Liu Fan said that Gan Ning was even more powerful than Xu Huang. Fa Zheng couldn't help but wonder if Liu Fan deliberately boasted about forcibly winning over the emperor.

He glanced at him, "Why, don't you believe it?"

"No." Shaking his head, Fa Zheng said with a slight silence: "I just wonder why he is so powerful, why do you have to follow his lord?"

He glared at him fiercely, and Liu Fan walked straight into the hall, and he didn't want to pay attention to this guy anymore.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Liu Yan's inquiring eyes turned over, "Just now, I don't seem to want to leave Zhang Ziqiao, do you look down on him?"

He smiled and bowed, "It's not that the child doesn't think of him, but that the Zhang family wouldn't mess with him before he figured out some things."

"Oh!" Liu Fan also sighed quietly when he heard the eldest son's words. At this moment, he seemed to regret whether his methods were too fierce when he entered Yizhou. "In the past, if I had not forced the dozens of wealthy families, I think Yizhou can be harmonious now."

"Father's words are wrong!" explained with a smile. Liu Fan had no intention of blaming Liu Yan at all. "The situation was different at that time. If my father had first entered Yizhou, if he could not quickly intimidate the local rich people in Yizhou, how could he calm down the chaos and comfort the people?"

"So in the eyes of the child, it is precisely because his father pacified Yizhou as quickly as possible that the people of Yizhou can live and work in peace and live a good life with a prosperous life."

Looking at Liu Fan silently, after a long time, Liu Yan suddenly laughed, and the happy smile from the bottom of his heart seemed to be happier than when he rode a horse into Bashu, because he knew that his son could understand what he did before.

Even if people all over the world don’t understand him, as long as his son can understand him, he is enough.

He slowly stood up from the seat collapse. Liu Yan looked at Zhang Lu who had been chatting with him over there and smiled and said, "Pongqi, I am particularly interested in your Taoism. Why not tell me in detail?"

"Mr. Ming Gong's order, I dare not follow you!" At that moment, Zhang Lu stood up with joy and bowed. As long as he could spread Taoism, he would be very happy. Besides, it was Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou.

With the help of the attendant, Liu Yan slowly walked towards the back house. Halfway through the journey, he suddenly stopped again, turned his head and turned to look at Liu Fan, and glanced at Liu Dan and Liu Zhang. Finally, his eyes fell on Liu Fan, "I'm old, the affairs of the prefectures and counties are too complicated, don't bother me." After that, he pointed to the main case again, "Hey, the seal is on the case, you can use it yourself!"

After saying that, Liu Yan walked leisurely towards the back house.

Only Liu Fan and other people who were stunned were left, and they were stunned. After counting breaths, Fa Zheng walked quickly and walked over and said excitedly: "Congratulations to the lord, you are in charge of Yizhou!"

Fa Zheng was really excited. Although he thought that Liu Fan would definitely accept Yizhou, he did not expect it to be so fast and smooth. Liu Yan handed over the military and political power of the entire Yizhou to Liu Fan in just a few words.

Not only Fa Zheng, but Xu Huang kept rolling his Adam's apple at this time. Liu Fan began to take charge of Yizhou, and his life was about to be glorious. Among the people, only Liu Dan came to Liu Fan with a grievance, drooped his face, and said depressedly: "Brother, didn't you say you wanted to perform your merits on my father?"

Looking at Liu Dan's resentful eyes, Liu Fan finally couldn't help but sneer, "Don't worry, when did I lied to you? You see, my father has handed over the seal and ribbon to me now? I will tell my father your contribution and use the seal and ribbon to give you a reward!"

"Hehe!" Hearing this, Liu Dan turned to joy and laughed.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Fan looked around the hall, and a big stone in his heart also fell down. These people followed him all the way, and now, they finally gave them an explanation.

After silently looking at the seal of the Zhou Mu on the case, Liu Fan did not reach out to get it, but suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "Everyone, go to our mansion to discuss matters! Let's go!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. When they saw Liu Fan strode towards the door first, they followed tacitly. In an instant, there was only a few people in the lobby of Yizhou Patriarchal Palace, which had just stood there, and there was no one there.

Of course, Liu Fan had his own mansion in Chengdu. After all, he had already started a family and started a business, so it was impossible for him to live in the same mansion with Liu Yan. Therefore, he withdrew from the provincial governor's mansion.

As the eldest son of the Yizhou Muslim, his private residence was also extremely spacious. Before he came out of Chang'an, he had already asked Pang Xi to withdraw with him and Liu Dan's wife and children.

Now, they are all in the house.

Before, he informed Liu An, the manager of the mansion, who took a robe and sent it to Gan Ning.

As Liu Fan replied, those who followed Liu Fan to Chengdu also went to his mansion to gather. Wang Fu, Li Miao, Wang Chong, Ren Kui, and Wang Lei all came to Liu Fan's mansion silently. In addition, the original Fa Zheng, Xu Huang, Pang De, Gan Ning, Wu Yi, Pang Xi and Zhang Ren who was invited to come.

Of course, I also want Liu Dan and Liu Zhang. These two guys are now like when they were young, following their brothers, and never leaving them.

Liu Fan was really happy at this moment when he looked around Junxian in the hall.

"Everyone, today I, Liu Bochang, returned to Chengdu for the first time, and I will rely on you in the future!"

"I wish to serve the General of the Central Army!" At that moment, everyone responded consciously and respectfully.

Liu Fan didn't care about this, after all, this was his starting point. Looking around at everyone with a smile, Liu Fan was about to say something to comfort him, but unexpectedly, he was originally a guard in the outside world.

As soon as he saw him, Gan Ning's eyes twitched suddenly. This person was not someone else, but the scout who had previously invited Shen Mi to come back.

Silently glanced at Pang Xi who was standing silently beside him, Liu Fan immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you covered in wounds? Why are you injured?"

Regardless of the eyes of the whole hall, the messenger said hurriedly: "Report to the General of the Central Army, when I went to Niuli City, Shen Mi had already escaped! He not only angrily accused the Governor of County Gan that he was unfaithful, but also threatened to return to Ba County, gather the powerful people and resist Mu Bo!"

"Bastard! You dare!" At that moment, Liu Fan shouted angrily, "Do he really think that I, Liu Bochang, have no temper? Ling Ming immediately sent the elite cavalry to catch up with him and kill him on the spot!"

"As for order!" Pang De quickly turned around and left.
