Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 7 Conviction requires evidence, suspicion only requires a list

Inside the account.

Guan Yu looked cold and his mood was quite complicated.

If Zhuge Qiao does not perform well in shooting and shooting, Guan Yu will send people to send Zhuge Qiao back to Xichuan, and the matter will be resolved.

Or perhaps, Zhuge Qiao can perform well in shooting and shooting, and Guan Yu can still barely recognize Zhuge Qiao as his son-in-law.

Exactly.

The performance of Zhuge Qiao She and Yu was unsightly; and the performance of Shu was extremely excellent.

If I had known this, it would be better to just test Zhuge Qiao's numbers.

In this way, no one will know about Zhuge Qiaoshe and Yu's unsightly performance.

For the sake of Zhuge Liang and Mi Zhu, Guan Yu pinched his nose and admitted it.

"Ah Qiao, what are you thinking about?" Mi Zhu grabbed Zhuge Qiao again and asked in a low voice.

Although Zhuge Qiao's words and deeds in Xichuan were not public and few people knew about Zhuge Qiao's true talent and courage, this was no secret to Mi Zhu.

"The walls have ears." Zhuge Qiao left these four words softly and walked into the military tent.

Mi Zhu was stunned immediately.

"Walls have ears? Aqiao does this on purpose to confuse others?"

"But this is Jiangling City, the water village of the Lord. Who is Aqiao trying to confuse?"

When it comes to moral standards, Mi Zhu can't be faulted; but when it comes to judging the crisis in Jiangling City, Zhuge Qiao, a time traveler who has opened his eyes to history, is much clearer than Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu wanted to enter the tent, but was blocked by Guan Yu's soldiers: "The prince has not sent an order. Please ask General Mi to wait for the order outside the tent."

Seeing this, Guan Ping quickly came forward and explained: "Uncle Mi, my father is very strict in managing the army. He does not mean to create difficulties."

Mi Zhu solemnly said: "Since it is the military rule of the Lord, I will not break it."

The soldiers' opposition to Mi Zhu also reached the ears of Zhuge Qiao, who had just stepped into the military tent.

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but secretly marvel at Guan Yu's rigorous military management. The soldiers did not even give Mi Zhu face, which shows that these soldiers' knowledge of military law has been engraved in their bones.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Qiao no longer pretended to be stupid.

Zhuge Qiao calmly approached Guan Yu and saluted Guan Yu solemnly: "Zhuge Qiao, the eldest son of the military advisor general, has come to Jiangling City on the orders of his father to await the emperor's dispatch."

Um?
  Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhuge Qiao with a bit more surprise.

Zhuge Qiao's demeanor at this moment was completely different from when he was outside the military tent just now. The confidence and calmness in his brows reminded Guan Yu subconsciously of Zhuge Liang.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Guan Yu was not a fool, and he quickly guessed the reason.

Zhuge Qiao nodded: "The situation in Jingzhou is complicated. Even if my father makes his own plans, he only has half a chance of victory. If my nephew is too showy, he will be out of the game within a few days in Jiangling City."

"You are as cautious as a military advisor." Guan Yu's expression gradually softened: "But what ability do you have to assist Guan in Jiangling City?"

Seeing that Guan Yu no longer looked as cold as before, Zhuge Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My nephew can calculate the accounts accurately, so naturally he can also verify the accounts."

Guan Yu frowned: "Check the actual accounts? What actual accounts do you want to check? There is no actual account in Jingzhou that Guan is unaware of, so why do you need to check the actual accounts?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled but didn't answer.

Guan Yu frowned even more tightly: "Why are you laughing?"

Zhuge Qiao slightly raised his hand: "Why would you deceive your nephew? If Jingzhou's actual accounts are really fine, how could you let your nephew calculate the accounting vouchers related to Grand Administrator Mi?"

Guan Yu looked slightly solemn: "What did you see?"

Zhuge Qiao raised his lips slightly and said: "These accounting vouchers are so beautiful. They are like an artist painting a maid, so lifelike that one can't help but marvel at the artist's painting skills. They are not like mortal hands, but more like heavenly immortals."

Guan Yu sneered: "That means you haven't seen anything. What's the use of checking the actual accounts? Are you just making people laugh?" Zhuge Qiao smiled calmly: "Evidence is needed for conviction, and only a list is needed for suspicion."

Zhuge Qiao's answer surprised Guan Yu.

"This kid is not simple!"

"Military advisors are always cautious. If Zhuge Qiao is really a man of limited talent and learning, how can the military advisor allow Zhuge Qiao to come to Jiangling City?"

Thinking of this, Guan Yu no longer looked down upon Zhuge Qiao, and looked at Zhuge Qiao more like he was looking at his son-in-law.

"Mi Zi has been with his brother for a long time and has always been loyal to him."

"In the past, Cao Cao used Mi Zifang as the Prime Minister of Pengcheng and tried to win over him. However, Mi Zifang still chose to abandon his official position and follow his brother."

"Nanjun is an important town in Jingzhou. My brother regards Mi Zifang as the prefect of Nanjun. This is also a sign of his trust in Mi Zifang."

"If you suspect Mi Zifang without evidence, aren't you afraid that your brother will convict you?"

Guan Yu's eyes were sharp, and his seemingly simple words contained a chilling power.

Zhuge Qiao chuckled: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."

"My nephew came to Jiangling City not to find out who is corrupt, nor to convict anyone."

"There is an old saying: A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest."

"Any small hidden danger may affect the outcome of the overall situation."

"What my nephew has to do is to take precautions before they happen, nothing more."

Seeing Zhuge Qiao's clear thinking, Guan Yu couldn't help but admire a little more in his heart: "Since you don't want to find out who is corrupt, why do you need to check the actual accounts? Isn't it unnecessary?"

Zhuge Qiao said: "Just because you don't want to find out who is corrupt, doesn't mean you can't check the accounts."

"There are rumors in Xichuan that the prince is at odds with Governor Mi. When my nephew first came to Jiangling, he saw that brother Guan Ping had a rather cold attitude towards Governor Mi."

"And just now, Junhou also said that Grand Administrator Mi has always been loyal to General Zuo."

"Since the prince and Grand Administrator Mi are both loyal to General Zuo, how did this extremely provocative rumor spread to Xichuan?"

"Who is prompting such rumors to appear? Or, who is prompting the discord between the prince and Prefect Mi?"

"The Art of War says: When there are dangers, wells, reeds, forests, and Yihui beside the army, careful and repeated exploration must be carried out, because these places are very likely to have ambushed enemy ambushes."

"It doesn't matter whether Governor Mi is greedy or not; it doesn't matter whether Governor Mi is at odds with the prince."

"What matters is who the real beneficiaries are."

"Checking the accounts is just an illusion; my nephew's real purpose is just to alert others."

"Look at what's hiding in the grass. Is it a poisonous snake or a rat?"

Zhuge Qiao's answer made Guan Yu more and more frightened.

As a general deployed by Liu Bei in Jingzhou and in charge of all affairs in Jingzhou, Guan Yu was very clear about the situation in Jingzhou.

Guan Yu of Nanjun, Cao Ren of Xiangfan, and Lu Meng of Lukou.

Everyone wants to take charge of the entire Jingzhou!
  When extremely provocative rumors spread to Xichuan, who is the real beneficiary?
  Cao Ren?

Or Lu Meng?

Zhuge Qiao's thinking outside the box and thinking from the bottom of the well gave Guan Yu new thinking about the situation in Jingzhou.

　Pursue, pursue, pursue. Only by pursuing can you test the waters.
