Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 318 Planting the Seed
Yuan Xi took Sun Li to greet Xu You at the door. Seeing Xu You's unnatural expression, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr.

Xu You wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "You thought that the envoy would leave soon, but he remembered a few important things, and was afraid of delay, so he rushed over here."

"This disturbed the envoy, I really feel uneasy."

Yuan Xi listened and said with a smile: "Where, sir, he is dedicated to serving the public, and his heart is magnanimous, so there is no need to be uneasy."

Xu You felt the sweat ooze from his forehead again. He caught a glimpse of Sun Li pressing his hand on the handle of the ring-sword, and his heart went into cardiac arrest.

He had inquired a long time ago that this Sun Li was the most powerful personal guard around Yuan Xi, and he handled everything around Yuan Xi.

As for the head of the leader of the Black Mountain Army hanging on the wall today, it was also chopped off by this person, maybe his nephew's head was also cut off!

According to the eyeliner, this Sun Li looked young, but his strength was quite astonishing. He hit the leader's neck with his sword around his head, and sent a head flying far away!
When Xu You heard the thought of his beheaded nephew, his stomach was overwhelmed, and a wave of fear rose.

Although Yuan Xi had gained a great reputation and became known as the fierce tiger of the Yuan family, but at that time Xu You was attached to Yuan Shang and came to Youzhou to make troubles, so he did not take Yuan Xi seriously.

Without him, Xu You and Yuan Shao are old friends of the same generation. Xu You's family is quite powerful, and he himself is quite capable. Which of the younger generations of the Yuan family will not give him some face?

So after Xu You came to Youzhou, he felt good about himself until the situation in Jicheng got out of control.

Although his nephew Xu Jie was greedy for some money and food, he was not guilty of the crime no matter what, but he was killed by Yuan Xi in public!
When Xu You heard the news, a chill rose from the soles of his feet. Why didn't Yuan Xi care about Yuan Shang and his own face?

This has obviously been done!

The inside story that came later left Xu You dumbfounded, because the crime Yuan Xi gave Xu Jie'an was not greedy for money, but conspiracy to assassinate Yuan Xi!

Xu You knew the courage of his nephew, how could he assassinate Yuan Xi?

However, Yuan Xi produced personal and physical evidence, leaving Xu You speechless, but every time he thought about it, he felt that this incident was very strange.

It was true that Yuan Shang wanted to target Yuan Xi, but it was just to suppress and weaken him, but he never thought of killing Yuan Xi!
After thinking about it, Xu You thought of two possibilities.

One is that in order to kill Xu Jie, Yuan Xi placed charges that did not exist on him.

The second is that this happened, but Xu Jie did not do it, the mastermind was someone else, Yuan Xi just used this to get rid of Xu Jie!

But no matter what the situation is, Yuan Xi's actions have exceeded Xu You's expectations, and his actions are too dangerous!
In Xu You's eyes, his own life has been threatened by this crazy act in disregard of the unspoken rules among scholars. What he wants is to get promoted and get rich, not to be a scapegoat for Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi to fight, so as to risk his life!
Xu You saw Yuan Xi collecting evidence on the street during the day, fidgeted after returning home, and finally made up his mind to come to Yuan Xi's mansion to plead guilty, otherwise, who knows if he will be pulled out of the bed and cut off his head when he sleeps at night ?

Seeing Yuan Xi looking at him with a look of teasing, Xu You finally couldn't help it, knelt on the ground and said, "You have little ability and made many mistakes, please forgive me!"

Yuan Xi stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ziyuan, why should he be like this, my subordinates have made many mistakes, and I haven't seen what to do with them."

"Sir, please come in and talk about it in detail."

Yuan Xi held Xu You's hand, feeling that the other party was trembling unconsciously, and thought to himself that Xu You was not very courageous.

Sure enough, it's good to be a crazy critic, killing all the way, everyone will be afraid.

Yuan Xi felt that he was a little psychologically distorted, and he had a faint sympathy with Cao Cao's killing of the nobles in Yanzhou, but the difference between the two was that Cao Cao killed all the common people and nobles, while Yuan Xi only killed officials and bandits with bad conduct .

However, Yuan Xi also had some headaches, and he knocked the mountain to shake the tiger. He didn't expect Xu You to be so timid, and he wanted to keep him for use!

Thinking of this, he turned to Sun Li and said, "Go and call Mr. Feng Xiao."

Xu You was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "You just want to have a few words with Young Master in private."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi asked Xu You to come in and sit down, and asked Sun Li to go out first to avoid it, and then he said: "Mr. Ziyuan is here, is there any urgent military concern?"

Seeing Yuan Xi pretending to be innocent, Xu You stammered: "You had some quarrels with the public before, of course, some of the faults were caused by You's negligence."

Yuan Xi interrupted him, waved his hand and said, "Sir and the public are not the ones who abolish the public for personal reasons. No one can be blameless. Some small faults, why should this be so?"

The more Yuan Xi said this, the more Xu You felt guilty, and wiped his sweat: "It's not too small. There are some shortages of money and food. Although You tried to make up for it, there are still some mistakes. It's because some people below are too greedy and You can't stop it."

After Yuan Xi heard this, he smiled and said, "Is it because the people below took the money, but put the blame on the people above?"

"These petty officials are too hateful. They don't say anything about their own evil, and they even slander the superiors. I will definitely investigate and skin them when the time comes."

Xu You suffered a cardiac arrest again, he was greedy for money and food, how could he do it himself?

Naturally, the lower officials dealt with it, exploited corrupt ink, falsified the accounts, and then gave the big head to the superiors and officials.

The subordinate officials withheld some more, and then handed them over to their superiors again and again, and then they fell into Xu You's hands. In this way, those who saw it had a share, and no one could escape the relationship, so they naturally concealed it from each other.

Xu You's set of things is already an unspoken rule in the officialdom. It will not only not dirty your hands, but also benefit everyone. Everyone is happy.

Now Yuan Xi wants to say to investigate from the bottom, so that Xu You can't tell for a while, is Yuan Xi joking to comfort himself, or is he really going to do it?

Xu You was flustered in his heart, but Guo Jia walked in and said with a smile, "I have heard that Ziyuan is good at wine, why don't you come to Jia for a drink?"

"When I was in Yingchuan, I heard Mr. Ziyuan's name for a long time. Now that I see him, how can I disrespect him?"

Guo Jia turned to Yuan Xi, "My lord, you won't blame Jia for arbitrarily making decisions, will you?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Mr. came just in time. Mr. Ziyuan has worked so hard these days, so logically I should serve a drink to thank you."

As soon as he beckoned, some maidservants served wine and dishes, and the rest were accompanied by wine and dancers, and the scene became lively for a while.

Xu You was given a few glasses of wine by Guo Jia, and he couldn't talk to Yuan Xi again, so he had to put aside his thoughts for the time being and drink with Guo Jia.

Yuan Xi thought that Guo Jia's arrival was really timely, and Xu You was not a fool. It happened that Guo Jia was able to help him cover up, so that Xu You could not be sure of his true thoughts.

What I want is to let Xu You have no idea and do things with trepidation, so that he dare not do things at this point in time.

Xu You is indeed a thunder, but what Yuan Xi wants is when and how to explode so that he can play the greatest role.

Seeing Xu You and Guo Jia talking, he found an excuse to say that he was unwell, so he left the meeting first, and let the two top counselors pull each other.

When he went out, he saw Sun Li still standing outside the door, pressing the handle of the saber with his hand, and said with a smile: "You are honest, you don't need to draw your saber out of its sheath tonight, don't be so nervous."

Xu You, who was pouring wine in the room, shook his hand, and the spout of the jug tilted, and the table fell to the ground.

Guo Jia took his hand drunkenly and said, "Mr. Ziyuan is drunk!"

"Jiabie has no strengths, except that he is better than Mr. in drinking capacity!"

Xu You said in his heart that you are big, but I'm just not in the mood to drink, let's see if you can do it!

However, he knew that Guo Jia was Yuan Xi's mastermind, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he forced a smile and said: "Mr. Feng Xiao has done a lot of clever tricks and helped the envoy make great contributions. You are ashamed of yourself."

Guo Jia hiccupped, shook his head and said, "Sir, what you said is wrong. Your talent is a hundred times better than Jia's. It's just that you didn't meet a good opportunity."

Xu You poured down the wine in his hand, "Fengxiao knows me, but now that the Chugong has already achieved great success, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to make meritorious deeds in the future."

"It's different when Mr. Feng Xiao assists Mr. Xianyi. Youzhou is full of waste and needs to be rejuvenated, so there is a lot to do."

Guo Jia patted Xu You's shoulder dimly, "Mr. Ziyuan is thinking too narrowly."

"Mister's chances are not less than Jia's, and even several times more."

Xu You's heart moved, "How do you say that?"

Guo Jia muttered inarticulately, Xu You listened intently, but his heart was turned upside down.

Yuan Xi and Sun Li were talking outside, and when they heard that Guo Jia was already applying eye drops to Xu You, they smiled slightly. Whether Xu You believed it or not, the seeds of doubt had already been planted.

Because people always have desires, especially people like Xu You who think highly of themselves and are keen on fame and fortune are more likely to fall for it.

One day he will make a choice, and then it will be time to use countermeasures.

Yuan Xi saw that the night was dark and there was no need to go back to see Xu You, so he asked Sun Li to go back to take care of his family first, while he went back to the house.

Walking to the corner of the yard, a gust of wind blew over, and there was a creaking sound. He took a closer look, isn't this the wooden building he built earlier?

When the wooden building was built, it was not very strong, and it would shake slightly when the wind blows. Later, Yuan Xi, Cai Zhaoji and Cao Xian went up a lot, and the wooden building wobbled so badly that it tended to become a dangerous building.

After Yuan Xi left, the wooden building had not been repaired for such a long time, and it became even more dilapidated.

Yuan Xi rose up, using the movements in Wu Qin Xi, leaping up the wooden ladder extremely swiftly, stomping and stepping, his figure climbing up extremely swiftly.

In just a few breaths, Yuan Xi climbed half of the wooden ladder more than ten feet high, but as his height increased, the wooden building shook even more violently.

I only heard the creaking and creaking, and the swing of the wooden building became larger and larger, and then I heard an exclamation from above.

Yuan Xi was taken aback, and stopped, "Who is on top?"

After a while, Hou's voice came softly from the cabin, "It's a concubine."

Yuan Xi was in mid-air, and he thought to himself that after what happened last time, how dare you go up the wooden building?
But speaking of it, I blocked you this time?

Hey!
