C2 Old Fox

Huang County City had a radius of a few kilometers, and from Duke Mansion City to Liu Qi's residence, it would not take more than half an incense's time.

It was already late at night, it was impolite to visit at this time, but Xiao Yan couldn't care less.

Manager Xiao was the one who delivered the assassins to the Liu residence. After a while, two Strong Servant came out with a lantern and a steward of the Liu residence came out to greet them.

"My family's Master is waiting inside. Please follow me, Duke."

Xiao Yan ordered his followers to wait outside and entered alone.

After passing through a few galleries, he arrived at the reception hall of the Liu residence and saw a skinny old man leaning on the door.

"Eunuch Liu!"

Xiao Yan hurried forward to pay his respects and apologize, "I've come late in the night to visit you. I've disturbed you. I apologize."

Xiao Yan lowered his attitude when he came to beg someone.

Liu Tie returned the greeting with a smile. He leaned to let Xiao Yan enter. After the host took his seat, he said slightly, "Duke has come late at night. What is it?"

With no need for pleasantries, Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "I'm ashamed, my nephew was forced by Zhang Fen to not bear to see his ancestors taken away. I'm willing to send you to Liu Gongtian for three hundred minutes!"

Liu Qi was surprised by these words, but he did not say anything. He smiled and said, "As far as I know, Zhang Fen is not going to trade land with Wu Tie, so why should Duke try to gain distance from him..."

The meaning of Liu Tie's words were very clear. Although he did not openly refuse, in reality, he was telling Xiao Yan, "I am very clear on the matter between you and Zhang Fen. It is better to clarify the matter regarding the pie falling from the sky."

Xiao Yan let out a sigh. He clenched his teeth and said, "After I killed my father, I couldn't wait to devour him alive. How could I let my ancestors get away with this?"

He then said: "Liu Gongming, Zhang Fen caused a ruckus in my father's mourning hall today, and my ancestors were unable to find peace in the afterlife. I only hate people who were too young to protect their families, and rather than robbing people, I would rather give it to Liu Gongzi."

Liu Qi shook his head slowly and said, "No, no. If this old man suffers from this, then it means that he is taking advantage of me. Besides, if Zhang Fen knows that this old man has suffered, then he will be angry..."

Liu Qi was a cunning old fox, so he could guess the problem. Although Liang Tian was jealous, he still refused to give up.

Xiao Yan knew that the other side would not easily agree to his request. He was not in a hurry as he said, "Liu Gongmo has to refuse this nephew. This nephew still has a request to ask of you."

"What is it?" Liu Qi looked up at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan said straightforwardly: "This county's filial piety will not be promoted next year, right?"

Liu Qi understood halfway through the sentence of a smart person. He took a deep breath and frowned as he looked at Xiao Yan: "Wu Tie wants to show his filial piety?"

Xiao Yan nodded, "Yes!"

Liu Qi laughed involuntarily, and said with a hint of anger in his tone, "Duke is not joking, the investigation of filial piety is a matter of national importance, how can it be child's play. Moreover, filial piety is limited to the age of 40, you are too young, even if this old man tries his best to protect you, it is still not enough."

Han Dynasty, the county state can raise a filial piety one person, enter the capital can be an official.

Xiao Yan nodded and shook his head: "Liu Gongzi can't do it by himself, but if there's one more person to do it by himself, then the matter is pretty close!"

"Who?" Liu Qi frowned.

"Hsu Shen!"

After Xiao Yan said the name, Liu Qi smiled. "Wu Tie can persuade me to recommend you, but he can't persuade Xu Zichu. Xu Zichu follows the rules, how can he recommend you as a filial piety?"

These words were a bit of a slap to the face. Xiao Yan knew it was the truth, but there was always a chance.

Xiao Yan said confidently: "As long as Liu Gong agrees, this nephew will convince you. If I can't persuade you, then just drop the matter of recommending filial piety."

"As for Zhang Fen, I believe that Eunuch Liu wouldn't be afraid of such a vile character, right? If Eunuch Liu fears Zhang Fen's anger, then just pretend that this nephew has never come here before …" Xiao Yan took his time. Looking at Liu Qi's face, he took a pose of leaving if he was unwilling.

Liu Qi laughed and said, "Nephew, please don't provoke this old man. If you let me go, this old man will naturally back off. However, Zhang Fen is nothing in this old man's eyes."

As soon as Xiao Yan heard Xiao Yan, he knew that he had succeeded. He was overjoyed as he said, "Then thank you very much, Liu Gong. I will send Tian Qi to you tomorrow!"

"Goodbye!" Liu Gongzi stops and does not send you off! "

Since Liu Qi was willing to accept the land, tonight's matter was already halfway done. Xiao Yan immediately took his leave and left in a hurry.

After Xiao Yan had left for a while, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the screen in the guest hall. He walked to Liu Qi's side with a face full of joy, "Father, is Longevity Yang Duke singing some kind of a show?

Liu Qi held onto his long beard, glanced at his son, and coldly snorted, "Impatient and impatient. A mere three hundred days and you're already so happy like this. You're even worse than Xiao Yan!"

The middle-aged man said sulkily, "Father's teachings are true!"

He asked curiously: "Does father really want to report Xiao Yan to be a filial son next year?"

"This old man does not understand this kid's actions. If he can persuade that bookworm, Hsu Shen, to do something, then this old man can help!" In his heart, he had a premonition that this matter wasn't simple, but he really couldn't think of what Xiao Yancai was thinking.

Moreover, he also hid a saying within his heart that he did not say. To investigate the honor of filial piety was not to be guaranteed that the imperial government would take over.

… ….

It was only when Xiao Yan left the residence that he realized his back was wet. He heaved a sigh of relief. Fighting the old fox really was tiring.

Xiao Yan sneered in his heart. After giving away the land, he did not feel any heartache at all.

He could even imagine what Liu Qi was going to do after he left.

Unfortunately, even someone as intelligent as Zhuge Kongming would not be able to guess his purpose in behaving like a prodigal son.

He was the only one who knew that this year was the year of light and six years, and that next year would be the year of light and seven years, when an earth-shattering event was about to happen.

The Yellow Turtle Intifada! Giant Deer Man, Zhang Jiao, is going to rebel!

The Qing Prefecture was a heavily affected area, their Donglai was not much better. Even if they had thousands of good fortune, they could not withstand the disaster of the Yellow Ribbon Bastard, so if they became miser and were held hostage by the bottles and jars, that would be terrible!

This was not the most crucial point. The Yellow Ribbon Bastard would only be popping up for a few days, but Xiao Yan did know that after the yellow cloth is thrown into chaos, the Aristocratic Family and strong men from the various provinces and counties will all take advantage of this situation.

As the saying goes, before handing in a person, if one made friends with a strong and powerful individual at this time, there would always be something to report in the future.

Today, he was going to make Liu Qi agree to investigate the filial piety next year. From the looks of it, it was indeed a whimsical thought, but after the chaos of the yellow cloth, the authority of Aristocratic Family was much higher than normal. At that time, investigating the filial piety would be completely possible.

One had to know that Cao Cao had entered the civil service as a filial person.

Being filial in the Great Han Dynasty was equivalent to being a helicopter for promotion.

If he wasn't an official of the prefectural city, how could he survive in this chaotic world in the future?!

Xiao Yan was not ambitious. He had already made up his mind. At worst, he would just hug Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan's thighs. It would be enough for him to live with wealth for the rest of his life.

… ….

As he sat in the carriage to simmer the heat in the furnace, the bumpiness of the carriage caused Xiao Yan to feel sleepy. He forced himself to concentrate. The next meeting with Hsu Shen would be the highlight of the night.

In the end, Liu Qi was only a relative of the Wealthy Class.

But Hsu Shen was different. He was a scholar with great Donglai and high moral integrity.

Just as he was thinking about how to recognize Hsu Shen by his tongue, he felt the carriage suddenly stop. He heard someone shout: "Who is breaking the curfew at night!"

Xiao Yan was relieved to hear that. He thought he had met a robber.

Lifting up the curtain, Xiao Yan secretly looked at the person who came. He saw Manager Xiao had already taken out his token and was negotiating with a group of Han soldiers.

After all, it was Longevity Yang Duke. The patrolling officials did not dare to slight him and hurriedly came forward to apologize, "Patrol Officer Taishi Ci, disturbed Duke's carriage, atone for his sins."

Xiao Yan felt the pleasure of privilege, and showed an amiable expression as he waved his hand and said, "The duty of patrolling the city belongs to you, what crime would it be … "Wait, what's your name?"
