Chapter 1100 in front of me
Wei Yan immediately ordered five hundred soldiers, and pretending to carry a few documents, went to Qubei's rented apartment in Anyi County together with two county officials in military uniform.

Qubei's apartment is a very ordinary house, which looks rather shabby.The painted surface of the pillars in front of the door is broken, the outline of the lintel is blurred, and there are not even the red lanterns and auspicious ears of grain that ordinary people hang.People walking in the alley may miss this house if they are not paying attention, because it is so inconspicuous.Of course, it was for this reason that Qubei chose this place.

Those who came out to answer the door were two very ordinary elderly couples. When they saw Wei Yan leading five hundred soldiers, they immediately fell to their knees in fright.This time is not the time to appease. Seeing such a scene, without waiting for Wei Yan's order, four hundred soldiers immediately surrounded the residence.A hundred soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers, and before the 100 people filed in, there was the sound of scolding and fighting in the room.

Wei Yan stood outside feeling a little itchy, and wanted to rush out with big strides, but was stopped by a young man dressed as a personal guard beside him, and pointed to the two county officials next to Wei Yan.Wei Yan understood the meaning, so he had to wait for the result in silence.

After a while, all the safety signals came from the house.At this time, Wei Yan had already hidden elsewhere.He went to look at the two small officials in military uniform standing in front of the door, and his expression was not quite right.

"Does the Right Wise King of the Huns go to Mr. Bei? The humble post belongs to the Ma Family's Shadow Intelligence Department."

One of them took out his token and waved it in front of Qubei, and Qubei heard their unit, shook his body, managed to calm his mind, and forced a smile: "I don't know what's the matter? Is it because I rented it?" You will send so many people to send me back to the Huns after two days at the residence?"

"These are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, and we never care about such trivial matters. We don't want to cause the worst consequences with so many soldiers." The two minor officials played their roles very well, and their momentum and tone were well on point. .

"The worst consequence? You arrest the relatives of the Xiongnu arbitrarily, which will cause an inexplicable misunderstanding between the Ma family and the Huns. If you still have winks, let me go!"

"It's natural to let you go. You just need to tell us what you want to plot with the Wei family when you come to Hedong."

"I don't even know what the Wei family is!"

"But there are witnesses to prove that you came to Hedong to plot a big event with the Wei family. Moreover, you said that you only rented it for two days, which is totally inconsistent with the evidence we have." After finishing this sentence, a small official Glancing at the two old couples: how long Qubei has lived here, you can tell if you ask, the two of them probably only know Qubei's true identity at this time, let alone keep it a secret.

"..."

With the facts in front of his eyes, Qu Bei seemed to be about to pass out, and the two Ma Jiajun who had been escorting him were now almost supporting him to stand.Wei Yan felt that the time was almost up, so he walked over pretending to be ignorant, and greeted heartily:
"Hey, isn't this the Xiongnu Qubei, sir, don't come here without any harm!"

Qubei looked up and saw that it was Wei Yan, and then looked at the two officials, his face became even paler——Wei Yan rose rapidly in Ma's house and won Ma Chao's trust. With his influence, he can completely determine the nature of this matter .

Wei Yan seemed to have just seen the two minor officials, and said, "Huh? How could you be so rude to Mr. Qubei? After the curfew, you mobilized troops without even knowing it. What do you want to do?" The two minor officials After the official explained the whole story, Wei Yan's face darkened, and he shouted: "Presumptuous, Qubei is a relative of the Huns, and it is also the guarantee of the harmony between the Han and the Huns. You are too presumptuous, and you dare to detain Mr. Qubei without implementation. , if the lord finds out about this, how will you end up?!"

After all, the two petty officials were separated by too many grades from Wei Yan, and they were submissively trained by Wei Yan's words. Qubei heard Wei Yan's attitude from the side, and finally recovered a little bit.

"How can you be careless about this kind of thing? You are also a member of the Ma family's military department. You give me that record, and I will handle it myself. You go back!"

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he reached out and took out the surveillance record from their waists, waved them away, and then rushed back to give a consoling smile.Qu Bei who was released hurriedly welcomed him into the house. After Wei Yan entered with two personal guards, Qu Bei took out some copper coins to comfort the two old couples, and then re-bolted the door.

Wei Yan frowned when he saw this move.He felt that Qu Bei was not a leading figure in this matter, otherwise it would be impossible to be so submissive and cautious.

The decoration inside the Humble House is the same as the outside, it is as simple as possible.He deliberately took out a blanket and put it on the upper seat, asked Wei Yan to sit down, rubbed his hands together and asked, "Why did Master Wei suddenly think of visiting me?"

"Oh, I didn't come here on purpose. Those soldiers and horses passed by my mansion. After hearing the movement, I came to take a look." Wei Yan's explanation was reasonable.After going to Bei to listen, his expression became more stable.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wei Yan began to cleverly use the gap in the conversation to get to the point:

"However, how could Lord Gobei let Shadow come to your door? Those guys are very difficult to deal with because they are directly responsible to the lord."

"This...may be a misunderstanding." Qu Bei's heart that had just been let go came up again.Wei Yan glanced at him suspiciously, then looked at the surveillance record in his hand, and sighed softly.

This strategy of slowly exerting pressure has obviously worked. Qubei is obviously an extremely sensitive person at this time. He likes to judge the other party's hints from the details of his movements. Therefore, he only needs to use a series of subtle movements to convey the pressure without showing any traces. to him.

"My lord, you know that the lord is very concerned about the harmony between the Han and the Hungarians, which is why I risked being punished by the lord to take this matter over. If you don't have an explanation that satisfies all parties, I am very sorry for this matter." It's hard to cover it up...especially when another heartwarming thing happened here recently, and I'm under a lot of pressure."

Qubei didn't know that Ma Chao had come to Hedong in person at this time, so he sent that spy to the county government to monitor, just to find out what happened to his subordinates a few days ago.And Wei Yan's half-truth, half-false, half-soft and half-hard words just smashed Qubei's psychological defense line to pieces.

At this time, Wei Yan is like a juggler in the Western Regions, using the panic to walk on the psychological tightrope to balance-the Ma family's top officials seem to be very talented in this regard.

Qu Bei cautiously moved the teacup and fruit plate towards Wei Yan, and said in a low voice, "Master Wei...cough...Actually, things are not what they imagined."

Wei Yan knew that the other party had loosened, and this time he succeeded again.

"So, what is the truth?"

"It's like this..." After going back to the desk, he said in a dry tone: "You also know that the Huns have stopped fighting and plundering abroad. I, the right king, are in charge of the daily necessities of the entire tribe. Distribution, the Hedong Wei family controls the largest salt pond in Hedong. I came here to buy a batch of salt. But considering the relationship between the Ma family and the Wei family, I dare not openly purchase it. Their price is lower than the refined salt of the Ma family. There are quite a few..."

After saying this, Wei Yan's expression changed.He got up slowly, and without saying a word, slowly retreated behind a guard, and the guard stepped forward, slowly lifted his helmet, and a handsome but stern face suddenly appeared in front of Qu Bei.

"Qubei, you are also a bloody man who has been on the battlefield, but I can't think of it. When there is no war with the Huns, you will be worn out without even half of your blood?" In front of me, you still dare to lie?!"

"Heaven, General Tian..." When Qu Bei saw Ma Chao's arrogance, he suddenly knelt down and trembled.
