Mi Han

Chapter 30

Shi Ren loves money like his life. When he heard that there was a business coming to his door, the excitement in his heart was indescribable.

He first carefully put the gold nuggets in his hands into the box under him, then closed the box and locked it.

After locking the box, Shiren was about to go out,
But after walking a few steps, he turned around and came to the box again,

He checked the box several times to see if the lock was secure.

After confirming that the box had been locked, Shiren walked out of the secret room completely relieved.

Although it is a secret room, it is not built underground, it is just an ordinary courtyard in Gong'an County Mansion.

It's just that this courtyard is guarded by many of Shiren's most trusted confidants.

When Shiren came out, he saw the dilapidated courtyard where his life savings were hidden, and dissatisfaction flashed across his face.

"When I surrender General Sun in the future, I need to renovate the county government to be worthy of my status today.

I don't know what the king thinks, as the county government where he used to live, why wouldn't he spend some taxes to repair it? "

Shiren was dissatisfied with the dilapidated living environment in his heart, so he slandered Liu Bei, who used to live here and was thrifty.

In fact, Shiren has long thought about renovating the Gong'an county government, but he is still under Liu Bei's rule.

If he rashly expands and renovates the county government, if the news reaches Liu Bei's ears, it will have a very bad impact.

But for the dissatisfaction with the living environment and Liu Bei, Shiren can only think about it in his mind.

He walked up to the confidant who had just reported to him, and said in a low tone,

"Where is the messenger, hurry up and lead the way!"

If he delays his own business, Shiren must give this confidant a good look.

Since Mi Zhong entered the city, he was taken to a house in Gong'an county mansion by a person who claimed to be Shi Ren's personal guard.

In this house, the furnishings are very simple. In the huge house, there are only food tables enough for two people to eat.

Other than that, nothing else.

Mi Zhong is careful by nature and good at scrutiny,
When he saw the extremely simple furnishings in this house, the first judgment in his mind was,
This house should be often used as a private meeting place for two people,

In addition, when the two met privately, they must have discussed important confidential matters.

Therefore, in this room only the food table utensils for two people are placed, and there is no other furniture, so as to prevent someone from hiding and eavesdropping.

Mi Zhong looked around in the room alone, wondering if he could see any clues.

But unfortunately, Mi Zhong was not given too much time. At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps outside the room.

Then the door of the house was pushed open, and a fat man walked in from outside the room first.

Mi Zhongguan is a man surrounded by everyone, and he is dressed luxuriously. Presumably he is the guard of the police at this time.

Mi Zhong quickly saluted Shiren.

But when Shiren entered the house and saw Mi Zhong, a look of suspicion flashed across his expectant face.
He immediately hid behind the guard behind him,

It wasn't this person that Mi Fang sent to discuss business with her before.

This made Shiren suspicious instantly.

After hiding behind his personal guard, Shi Ren immediately shouted at Mi Zhong,

"Who are you, and why are you pretending to be the prefect of Nanjun?"

After finishing speaking, Shi Ren fixed his eyes on Mi Zhong, and if Mi Zhong didn't give him a satisfactory explanation for a while, he would immediately kill Mi Zhong on the spot.

Seeing Shi Ren's attitude, Mi Zhong remembered Mi Yang's instructions,
He took out the token from Mi Fang to Mi Yang from his pocket, handed it to Shi Ren respectfully, and said,
"I am indeed the emissary of Mi Taishou of Nanjun. With this token as proof, I ask General Zhonglang to watch it."

Shiren's official position at this time is to discuss Kou Zhonglang.

It's just that Shi Ren always thought Liu Bei was biased, thinking that the position he gave himself was too low, for the sake of balance in his heart,

Therefore, he has always asked his cronies to call himself "General" in private to satisfy his vanity.

Mi Zhong bent his body and held up the token, Shi Ren's eyes were not bad, so he naturally saw the token in Mi Zhong's hand at a glance.

In this world, princes fight in chaos, and conspiracies and tricks emerge in endlessly.

In order to prevent the enemy from forging keepsakes to confuse their own side, in every prince's power in the world, there will be special marks on the seals of important official positions, so that people in their own power can identify them.

Shi Ren's status among the officials in Jingzhou is not low. When he saw the seal letter held up in Mi Zhong's hand for the first time, he judged at a glance that the seal letter of Mi Fang held by Mi Zhong was genuine.
This is enough to show that Mi Zhong's emissary identity is not fake.

After confirming this point, Shi Ren's biggest worry disappeared.

But he still hesitated in his heart, he didn't understand why Mi Fang suddenly sent a new envoy,
Seeing that Shi Ren still had hesitation on his face, Mi Zhong explained,

"Actually, the Patriarch sent to meet General Zhonglang this time is my son Mi Lang, and I came to meet General Zhonglang first on behalf of my son."

From Mi Zhong's words, Shi Ren can easily tell that the Mi Lang he is talking about is Mi Fang's son Mi Yang.

Hearing what Mi Zhong said, Shi Ren suddenly realized, and he said, "So it's that disease."

Shiren originally wanted to talk about the sick ghost, but when he was halfway through the sentence, seeing Mi Zhong present,

In order to prevent some words from being passed back to Mi Fang's ears and cause him dissatisfaction, Shi Ren immediately changed his mouth and said,

"So it's Zisheng who's here."

"No wonder, no wonder."

When Mi Zhong heard the sick word Shi Ren said, anger appeared on his face, but in order to complete Mi Yang's task, he had no choice but to remain calm.

After knowing that Mi Yang is the real envoy sent by Mi Fang, he already has the answer to the question he doubted just now.

Mi Yang is 20 years old this year and is already an adult.

The reason why Mi Fang sent him this time instead of sending the person who had been in contact with him before was probably to let Mi Yang take over his business step by step.

After understanding this, Shiren asked Mi Zhongdao, "Since Mr. Ling is the envoy, where is Mr. Ling now?"

Mi Zhong said according to the script Mi Yang taught him,
"Young Master and General Guan's son have led the army to a few miles outside Gong'an City.

Because the son of the general concerned is here, the young master is unable to move around, so I was ordered to come forward and report to General Zhonglang."

"It is said that he has a confidential and important matter to report, and I hope Zhong Lang will pay attention to it."

Hearing Mi Zhongyan's statement that Mi Yang had a confidential and important report, Shi Ren's face immediately became serious.

He and Mi Fang are already grasshoppers on the same rope because of reselling military supplies to each other.

For such a business partner who shared life and death, misfortunes and blessings, Shiren had no doubts about him, but he had a difficult time,

He immediately said, "I want to see your young master, but he is with Guan Ping.
You also said that he has limited mobility, how can I meet him in private? "

Mi Zhong said, "Young master told me before entering the city,
Guan Ping led the army outside the city of Public Security, and General Zhonglang is the guard of the Public Security Bureau. Out of the responsibility of protecting the country and the people, he can use his duties as an excuse to send envoys to inquire about the purpose of Guan Ping's leadership."

"General Zhonglang sent envoys to inquire about Lieutenant Guan's intentions, and Lieutenant Guan also sent envoys to the city to report in detail to General Zhonglang.

My son is currently Jingzhou Governor Bo, and he is the best candidate for Guan Ping's envoy. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to meet General Zhonglang. "

Mi Zhong's words made Shi Ren suddenly realize, yes, why didn't he think of this reason?
No wonder the well-informed king once praised Mi Yang's intelligence, but now it seems that Mi Yangguo deserves his reputation.

Shiren has the intention of adopting Mi Zhong's suggestion, but he has a ghost in his heart, and he has to be more careful about some things.
After all, this time Guan Ping led troops to the police, his intentions were already doubted by Shiren,
Therefore, Shi Ren first said to Mi Zhong, "You stay in the city, and I will send an envoy to Guan Ping's army."

Then Shiren turned to one of his confidants and said,
"Zhao Zhubo, I will trouble you to go to Guan Ping's army."

The person named by Shi Ren was Zhao Sui, who was Shi Ren's boss, and it was Shi Ren who was in the city.

One of the only few people you can trust completely.

For his master's order, Zhao Sui naturally did not refuse,
But at this moment, Shiren stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Sui,
"If this son of Mi Yang comes here alone, it is enough to prove that this son is sincerely discussing confidential matters with me, you can rest assured to bring him to see me.

But if Mi Yang didn't come alone, remember,
Keep quiet in Guan Ping's army, everything is business as usual,
But once Mi Yang enters the city,
You immediately kill him and the people he brings without hesitation. "

Hearing Shi Ren's whispered order, Zhao Sui was taken aback for a moment,
But he soon understood why Shi Ren did this,

Therefore, after he answered Shi Ren with "only", he immediately turned and left.

Shi Ren is greedy by nature, such a person is naturally suspicious, and the instructions he gave to Zhao Sui just now were just in case.

After Zhao Sui took the order and left, Shiren looked at Mi Zhong with malicious intentions and said,
"Just stay here and wait for your son to come."

As Shi Ren waved his right hand, his personal guards had already surrounded Mi Zhong indistinctly.
