Wu Han looked at the two of them blankly.
He blinked his eyes, his face full of curiosity: "Lang Jun, what's going on with these two people? If there's a fight... we're all our own people, who is helping the other and not helping the other?"
Cao An laughed angrily.
Pointing at the Arhat, he smiled and cursed: "Just beat him! Damn it, did you get the kickbacks on me? I was afraid of wronging you in the two days when I lost money, so I bought you new clothes!"
Holy shit!
Wang Hu was stunned subconsciously.
He smiled playfully, pointed at the Arhat, and extended a thumbs up: "How dare you take the kickback from Mr. Lang! In this city of Bianliang, you, the Arhat, are the only one... Damn it, you are still yelling at me!" Come on, I’ll do you with one hand!”
Now Arhat was completely wilted.
His face was red, and he didn't dare to look at Cao An: "I'm sorry, sir, but that's it... the shopkeeper is a friend of a certain person. As long as you go there, you will get a kickback, and it has nothing to do with the rent."
"I believe you ghost!"
Cao An rolled his eyes at him, sat down and waved his hand, signaling: "Okay, let's get down to business first! If you two want to fight, go back and find a place where no one is around, and someone will be the referee... Whoever wins will be rewarded with a hundred guan!" "
Arhat smiled evilly, stared at Wang Hu and said quietly: "Hey! If I don't want it anymore, I'll treat it as my husband's rent!"
"I really shame you!"
Wang Hu has been famous for a long time. He couldn't bear this kind of provocation and immediately counterattacked: "If you end up with a broken arm or leg, don't cry in front of your husband!"
"I'm afraid you are the one!"
"...What the hell!"
Bang!
Cao An couldn't bear it anymore, slammed the table and cursed: "Can this be done? If this errand fails, everyone should get out together, and no one should cry!"
"..."
The two fell silent.
Wu Han stood aside and hugged his shoulders, laughing.
This one is shady, but he looks honest!
Wang Hu had an evaluation of him in his heart...
Cao An looked back at Wang Hu and asked solemnly: "How many refugees have sneaked into the west of the city now? Don't guess, it's better not to say..."
"Three hundred and seventy-six people!"
Wang Hu said without thinking: "The villain immediately sent someone to investigate. Those refugees had no shelter, so they all gathered near the City God's Temple. It's easy to investigate!"
"Has it been discovered?"
"No! I found a few strangers who may not even be known to the locals, and they didn't come back the first day they went there. They ate, lived and starved with the refugees!"
"...High!"
Even though Arhat looked down on Wang Hu, he couldn't help but praise him.
The latter rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.
Cao An also laughed: "Your method makes it difficult not to doubt... Are you really just a rogue? Rogues are not as sensitive and thoughtful as you."
Wang Hu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his natural state.
He smiled slightly, bowed respectfully, and then said: "... If the gentleman sees through it, he won't reveal it, so he will leave some secrets for the villain."
"Okay, I can keep the secret with you, but this matter..."
Cao An nodded to the table: "No matter what your background is, as long as you don't harm your interests, we can be friends for now. You are very generous to your friends... But if you dare to have other thoughts, I will not be soft!"
The young man's eyes were sharp, like a wild wolf on the prairie.
Wang Hu knew that he was not afraid of him, but he still couldn't help but shrink his eyes.
Before he could react, Cao An suddenly laughed again: "I'm afraid that Mrs. Liu is not simple, right?"
Um?
Wang Hu subconsciously raised his head, followed by a burst of anger.
He's exposed!
"Don't be so nervous. No matter what you want to do, or how big your secret is, as long as Ansheng works for me, everything can be discussed."
Cao An stood up with a smile.
He was not as tall as Wang Hu, so he could only raise his head slightly.
But even so, the momentum is not weak at all.
"Can it be done?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang... If one day you encounter danger like Xiaoniu Village again, I will dare to protect you and leave. This is my promise!"
Cao An smiled, very brightly.
He sat down and continued: "Keep a close eye on those people to see if any of them are different from other refugees or behave strangely. Make a note of them quietly."
"yes!"
Wang Hu said no more.
"How many refugees are there now outside the city?"
"I'm afraid there are thousands of people, and the number is still increasing...I heard that Xiang troops have been dispatched to Jingzhao Mansion, intending to drive back the refugees who have 'fleeed'. But in my opinion, this matter I’m afraid it won’t be easy!”
Nonsense, if we can rush back, will they still come out?
If no one makes a fuss here, I will rip off my head!
Cao An's brows deepened: "I'm afraid Bianliang is going to be uneasy! Even if these people can be brought back, in a short period of time... if someone rebels, this will be a big deal!"
Rebellion in the Song Dynasty was a tradition.
There were villages that had no food to eat. After being hungry for several days, there was no need to discuss... Everyone grabbed a piece of tiger skin, pulled a pole and rushed to Bianliang.
Not many, just three to five hundred people...
However, the imperial court did not want to give military power to the local government, and there were restrictions from all parties. In the end, the only option was to recruit An to bring him down, and then be incorporated into the Xiang army, so that everyone could eat the imperial food together.
Maybe someone should ask, why?
If you don't rebel against him, why don't you keep his offspring?
The reason is simple - Song Dynasty is rich!
Why go to war when things can be solved with money?
And the original intention of those rebellious people was not to overthrow any 'tyranny'.
In fact, everyone has already understood this tacitly.
If we make some noise, you hurry up and get some food. Let's forget about it. Who wants to really rebel, unless they are smart.
Didn’t classmate Xiao Song do this later?
This guy's moral integrity is really broken just to get a mouthful of royal food!
Wang Hu hesitated for a moment and said: "Lang Jun, the court should have come forward in this matter, so why should you... Our efforts will be thankless, and we may even be jealous!"
"Don't be afraid..."
Cao An waved his hand and said jokingly: "A certain person has already told the truth in front of the Queen Mother! Since I have accepted the errand, I must do it well, otherwise the court will not be fooled."
"Why?"
Wang Hu was even more puzzled: "All the officials in the court are dead? Why should you be asked to take over this job? You are just an admonisher..."
These days, working as a follower to the emperor is so involved?
"Stop talking useless words and do more things, okay?"
Cao An rolled his eyes at him and said without concealment: "If you really want to know, go and find out for yourself. That Er Xiong died in a miserable state, I guess you don't lack the means."
"..."
Wang Hu was speechless.
This young man really doesn’t suffer at all!
He was talking more openly and secretly, just to tell himself that these people... I know everything about the things you do, I just don't care.
But if you want to take advantage of him, you absolutely can’t!
