Chapter 51: An Unexpected Crisis (2)

A few chuckles rang inside the house.

Seeing Kong Jian's expression at the moment was like pig's liver, the Hou of Luyang Township and Liu Yi were quite relieved.

"Is this second young master...so he so sharp?"

Liu turned his head and looked at Zhao Yu, and was really surprised.

You must know that Zhao Yu was very polite in front of him, which made Liu Ying sigh many times that the tutoring of the Hou in Luyang Township was very strict. However, what he never expected was that the second young master was so sharp when he scolded others.

At this moment, Kong Jian finally breathed, pointed at Zhao Yu and cursed: "Baby, do you know you are talking to me?"

When the Hou of Luyang Township frowned, Zhao Yu sneered and asked back, "Who are you scolding?"

"Little baby..."

I have to say that Kong Jian is also a quick-witted person. As soon as he said two words, he noticed the trap in Zhao Yu's words, and snorted coldly, "He is really smart and worthy of being the son of Zhaoxianghou......Boy, you know that I am the governor of Nanyang County and dare to humiliate him like this. It's simply impossible to tell the truth and the court..."

Zhao Yu's reaction was also very fast. Seeing that Kong Jian was about to put a hat on himself, he immediately sneered: "Do you still know that you are the magistrate of Nanyang County? Kong Wenju, what did the imperial court send you to do this? Ah? On that day, you mentioned that the imperial court appointed you as the magistrate of Nanyang County to restore Nanyang County's previous prosperity and stability. What are you doing? Was Wannan restored? Was Wanbei restored? The counties in Nanyang are still in dire straits. You, the magistrate, did not perform your duties, but instigated General Wang to try to use General Wang to revenge my father and revenge Luyang County. Shouldn't you scold me like you?!"

"you……"

Kong Jian was speechless by Zhao Yu again, and after a while, he scolded forcefully: "I have my own considerations, it's not your turn to point fingers."

Hearing this, Liu Ying immediately stood up and cheered for Zhao Yu: "Oh? I wonder if County Magistrate Kong can tell Liu about your considerations? I, Luyang, is also a county in Nanyang County. Liu is quite concerned about how Lord Kong will restore the Nanyang County administration."

"Liu …"

Kong Jian looked at Liu Ying with a calm face. He was also full of jealousy for the latter. Who made Liu Ying the current position of the county magistrate of Luyang County?

Compared to the fact that he was the county magistrate, when he was often scolded by others behind his back, Liu Yu was well-known in Luyang County. Everyone in the county called him Liu Gong, which was a treatment that Kong Jian had never received back then.

Taking a deep breath, Kong Jian turned his eyes and looked at Peng Yong, who was kneeling in the table to drink tea, and instigated: "General Peng, you have also seen that these people are so rude, and they don't take General Wang and General Peng seriously..."

At this time, Peng Yong was staring at Zhao Yu with interest. When he heard Kong Jian sow discord, he said with a smile: "Master Kong, no matter what you say, don't involve General Wang in everything. Although Peng came with you, he really hoped to borrow some money and food, but..." He shook his head and reiterated again: "Don't involve General Wang in everything."

Hearing this, Liu Ying and Hou Luyang Township and others knew it: It seems that Wang Shangde's people are not unclear about Kong Jian's malice, but they only care whether they can get money and food from Luyang, and they don't care about the grudges between Kong Jian and Luyang County at all.

I have to say that this is a great blessing in disgrace. At least Wang Shangde did not express his position to help Kong Jian.

Although Kong Jian was angry at Peng Yong's remarks, he did not dare to express them. He could only nod his head timidly.

Seeing his obedient appearance, Zhao Yu sneered and sarcastically said, "It's really a loyal and obedient domestic dog."

Everyone in the room laughed a few times when they heard this. Even Peng Yong used the action of drinking tea to hide the inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, trying not to let everyone see it.

It can be seen that Peng Yong may not be able to respect Kong Jian.

"A clever child... I won't be as familiar with you today."

Kong Jian glared at Zhao Yu hatefully, then took a deep breath, looked at Liu Yu and the Marquis of Luyang Township and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu County, the Marquis of Zhao Township, as Kong said just now, did you agree or not? Please tell Kong, Kong will report to General Wang."

Hearing this, Peng Yong also turned around and looked over. He didn't care about the grudges between Kong Jian and Liu Qing and the Hou of Luyang Township, nor did he want to interfere. However, he still cared about the money and food mentioned by Kong Jian at this moment.

Speaking of which, Kong Jian was indeed smart and cunning. Seeing that Zhao Yu was so clever and did not want to fight with a child, he simply raised his intentions and used Wang Shangde's name to oppress Liu Ying, Luyang Township Hou and others.

When he returned to Luyang County a few days ago, he had already carefully investigated and knew that Luyang County had hoarded a batch of money and grain for relief to refugees in the country. If Liu and the Hou of Luyang Township were forced to agree under his coercion today, then Luyang County would be unable to use labor for relief, and naturally there would be another refugee riot.

When he was in charge of impeachment from the court, he was able to impeach Liu Yi and convict the latter of the crime of ineffective governance of the people.

And it would be even better if Liu Ying and the Marquis of Luyang Township refused to pay the money and grain to Wang Shangde. Kong Jian had met Wang Shangde in recent days and knew very well that Wang Shangde was the kind of person who was right. If Luyang County dared to reject the General Wang, it would be a disaster!

In short, whether Liu Ying and the Hou of Luyang Township agreed or not, Kong Jian was sure to deal with the two.

"...Jie Shi will teach this little beast that is unrestrained."

He glanced at Zhao Yu standing beside him, and a little sinister flashed in Kong Jian's eyes.

At this time, as Kong Jian had guessed, Liu Ying and the Hou of Luyang Township were also in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu thought for a moment and interrupted with a smile: "Father, Mr. Liu, General Wang and General Peng Yong are here to resist the rebels' offensive for us. Today, General Peng Yong came to our Luyang and came to our town's marquis' mansion. Regardless of whether I Luyang is capable of borrowing money and food from General Wang, at least we should prepare wine and food and treat General Peng Yong well. How can we let General Peng drink tea here?"

"The second young master wants to delay?"

Liu Ying immediately guessed Zhao Yu's intention and said to the Luyang Township Hou with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's still the second young master who knows the etiquette. Xianghou, how could you be so negligent?"

The Marquis of Luyang Township was also a smart person, so he immediately reacted. While asking Cao Ju to order the kitchen to prepare wine and food, he clasped his fists and said to Peng Yong: "It's really rude. Fortunately, the child mentioned it..."

Seeing this, Peng Yong replied calmly: "Actually, there is no need. Peng doesn't dare to come here..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the inquiry from the Marquis of Luyang Township: "I wonder if General Peng is good at drinking? There are still some wines left by his father when he was alive. After all, it has been more than twenty years since then."

"More than twenty years?"

Peng Yong, who was ready to refuse politely, just now, couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard this.

Immediately, he realized his incompetence and smiled heartily: "Haha, I'll make you laugh. I'll let you all know that whether it's General Wang, Peng, or other colleagues in the army, he really can't refuse the wine." As he said that, he hugged his fists: "That... I'm disturbing."

Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang Township and Liu Ying felt relieved, but Kong Jian, who was beside him, was anxious and said, "General Peng, the important matter that General Wang gave is important!"

"..." Peng Yong glanced at Kong Jian. Although he didn't say anything, he could tell that he was very unhappy.

At this time, Liu Ying smiled and said, "Mr. Kong County Governor, although the important matters assigned by General Wang are important, they are not in a hurry, right? How long can it take to eat wine and food?"

Although Peng Yong still didn't speak, his smile and nodded was enough to show his attitude.

Seeing this, Kong Jian had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, let's just follow your wishes. I want to see what you can do in the meal?"

Seeing that this guy was not calm, Zhao Yu chuckled and said, "Kong Wenju, my father invited General Peng to a banquet, but he didn't say he would treat you. Oh, that's right, you bring your own dry food..."

"you……"

"What?" Facing Kong Jian's gaze, Zhao Yu chuckled, "Didn't you bring enough dry food you brought? Then go find food yourself, and I won't send it to you."

From the side, Liu Ying and the Hou of Luyang Township looked at each other. From Zhao Yu's seemingly child-involved behavior, he saw that the latter's real intention was about to spend Kong Jian.

There are many benefits to spending Kong Jian. For example, they can test Peng Yong about Wang Shangde's true attitude. Judging from Peng Yong's words and deeds just now, this general is naturally more generous than Kong Jian.

As for whether to expel Kong Jian from the mansion, will offend the other party again? What else can Liu and the Hou of Luyang Township have offended him to death without even thinking about it?

Thinking of this, the Hou of Luyang Township said to Kong Jian coldly: "Although my son speaks roughly, he is right. There are wine and food for guests in my mansion, but there are no wine and food for guests. Please, Jung Kong, please."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng walked to Kong Jian and raised their hands and said, "Mr. Kong, please."

"you……"

Kong Jian stared at everyone fiercely, then turned his head and said to Peng Yong: "General Peng, they are interested in supporting Kong, and they must have had illegal intentions... General Peng should not fall into their tricks!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu laughed and mocked: "Mr. Kong Jun is really spared no effort to slander his father. Eating a meal can be said to be a trick. Thank you for your hard work..."

Kong Jian sneered when he heard this, "Son, don't think I don't know. You deliberately proposed a banquet for General Peng, and you also deliberately sent Kong away. It's just that you want to draw General Wang's attitude from General Peng. You are so young and cunning... Humph, do you think I will let you succeed?!"

"Hehe." Zhao Yu smiled slightly.

A moment later, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng and Kong Jian came outside the mansion with Kong Jian and pushed the latter outside the mansion.

"Mr. Kong, please wait here first. When the wine and food are used up in the mansion, you will be notified at that time."

After leaving a word, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng slammed and closed the door of the mansion.

“…”
