(ps: Thanks to bluemilan, Phantom—Bing Xin, born to work hard for the reward of the Sanwei children's boots, I have the audacity to ask for Sanjiang tickets)
*******************
The night at this time was deep and silent.Most of the people in the prefect's mansion have already fallen asleep, except for a few who are awake, that is, the guards and servants who watch the night, but their situation is not much better, and they are all screaming loudly. Yawning, dragging sticks drowsily, perfunctorily patrolling around, listless to the extreme, some even found trees and stones to lean on, began to doze off, snoring slightly.

However, at this moment of silence, Gao Lan's tiger roar shattered the dreams of everyone in the prefect's mansion.

A tiger's roar shook the sky completely, like thunder in the night, and immediately everyone in the prefect's mansion jumped up, some of them were so sleepy that they almost jumped up from their original places.

The main entrance of Taishoufu.

Liu Pi was stunned by Gao Lan's actions, his whole body trembled like chaff beating chestnuts, and he even trembled when he spoke.

"General Gao, do you know what you are doing?"

Gao Lan gave Liu Pi a domineering look, and said, "I'm short of money and spent it, so I came to collect the rent, what's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"You!" Liu Pi was so angry that he trembled all over, raised his hand and tapped Gao Lan's nose, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Who is making noise here!"

A clear and slightly majestic voice came from the inner courtyard, and then saw the torches gathered in the prefect's mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and the rustling of footsteps came from far to near.

I saw two middle-aged ladies, under the guidance of a group of guards and servants, came to the front yard of the Taishou Mansion. Their faces were covered with frost, their eyebrows were full of anger, and they looked angry. Very.

When Liu Pi saw these two women, his somewhat fierce face suddenly became bleak and pale.

As soon as the visitor arrived, he saw Liu Pi hastily stepped forward to salute, and said loudly: "Liu Pi, the last general, has seen the two wives!"

Needless to say, these two noble ladies are Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi who sit in the prefect's mansion.

Mrs. Gan's face was cold, she glanced at Liu Pi lightly, and said: "General Liu, Mr. Liu entrusted you with a heavy responsibility to sit in Yingchuan. Is this how you repay the trust of the envoy?"

Beads of sweat dripped down Liu Pi's forehead, he glanced carefully back and forth, and said in a low voice: "It is the last general's crime to disturb Madam's slumber, Madam, don't worry, the last general This clears up idlers"

After saying Wan, Liu Pi straightened up, coughed heavily, turned his head to Gao Lan and said with a serious face: "General Gao, the prefect's mansion is not a place in the market, where can the idlers make a noise here? General Gao, please move and leave with me temporarily, let's talk elsewhere if we have something to say."

Before Liu Pi finished speaking, he saw Gao Lan showing a sinister smile, clenched his fist that was as big as a sandbag, and punched Liu Pi's cheek with a beautiful left uppercut.

"Bang!" Heavy punches hit the face.

"Ah~~!"

Hearing a scream from Liu Pi, covering his right eye, he fell straight backwards, laying on the ground and throbbing all over his body.

Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city who followed Liu Pi couldn't help being furious, and drew their swords one after another to fight Gao Lan desperately.

Seeing that Yuan Jun's soldiers did not show any weakness, they all stood behind Gao Lan in unison, and with a "shua" sound, they drew out their swords around their waists almost at the same time, and they were ready for battle with awe-inspiring momentum. It seems to be more fierce than Liu Pi's subordinates.

Under the confrontation, Liu Pi and the others suddenly became half shorter.

Runan's elite soldiers and generals all followed Liu Guanzhang and others out of the city to fight Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan. Now those who stay in the city are either recruits or weak soldiers. , the difference is not a grade.

The expressions of Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi suddenly changed drastically.

Gao Lan clapped his hands as if nothing had happened, spat and said, "Useless trash, I came here to ask for rent money, what's wrong with you? Don't even weigh yourself? Go away and stay!"

Mrs. Mi's temperament is rather staunch, seeing Gao Lan being so arrogant, she couldn't bear it, she took a step forward and shouted coquettishly.

"Bold thief, who are you? How dare you act violently in the prefect's mansion? You can't do it against you! When Liu Shijun comes back, he will definitely let him punish your felony!"

Gao Lan bared his teeth and smiled, looking extremely scary: "I am in a hurry to collect rent, and I acted rashly for a while, which shocked the two ladies, but I am not a general under Liu Shijun's command, even if you sue him , he can’t control this general coming here.”

Madam Mi's lips trembled slightly, but Madam Gan's thoughts were delicate, her face was a little calm, she stepped forward and said, "Who is this general from? Asking to come to my house to collect rent? Why?"

"Good talk!"

Gao Lan grinned, and said loudly: "I am Gao Lan, the general of Jizhou Yuan Gong! I was ordered to come to Runan with the third son Yuan Shang to fight against Cao with Liu Shijun. A few days ago, the third son of my family set up a A clever plan captured Yingchuan County. In order to enhance the friendship between the two families, Yingchuan County was temporarily borrowed from Liu Shijun to raise troops and store food. Now our army is about to return to Hebei. Before leaving, I was ordered by the third son to ask Liu Shijun Collect some rent."

"Rent money?"

Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi have never heard such absurd remarks since they were young and lived for decades.

Mrs. Mi trembled angrily, and said angrily: "It's just nonsense! Let's not say whether Yingchuan County was captured by your army, even if it was captured by you, the two armies formed an alliance to fight against the Cao bandits. How do you divide each other's work? Could it be that Liu Shijun didn't contribute to the bloody battle between you and Cao Bandit?"

Gao Lan couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words: "Madam's words are biased. Brothers still have to settle accounts. What's more, we and Liu Shijun are not brothers or brothers, and we have no blood relatives. Such a big Yingchuan County, How can there be a reason to give it away for free? I am here today and just say, take the rent!"

When the voice fell, all the soldiers behind Gao Lan raised their weapons high and echoed with their voices, the momentum was overwhelming.

"pay rent!"

"pay rent!"

"pay rent!"

The faces of the two ladies suddenly turned red and purple, they were really pretty.

Madam Mi turned her head angrily, looked at Liu Pi who was lying on the ground and moaned, and said angrily: "Liu Pi, you just let these rascals play like this in the prefect's mansion? What's the use of Liu Shijun supporting you!"

Liu Pi got up when he heard the words, and came to Gao Lan again with a big black eye circle, and said tremblingly: "General Gao, listen to me, from ancient times to the present, renting counties and counties to others, and then collecting rents can be described as I have never heard of it, it is really the most ridiculous thing in the world. General Gao, it is not I, Liu Pi, who said you. When I followed Zhang Jiao when I was a yellow scarf, I was called a big thief by the world, but I have never done such ridiculous things like yours. Strange thing, General Gao, your third son Yuan must be crazy about money."

"It's your business! Dare to say that our son is courting death!"

After the words were fulfilled, another beautiful right uppercut hit Liu Pi's left eye.

"boom!"

"Ah~~!"

Liu Pi fell down the second time, lay on the ground and began to foam.

Ignoring Liu Pi, who was twitching on the ground, Gao Lan continued to talk to Mi, and Mrs. Gan said, "Forgive me, Madam, this general is a warrior under Yuan's command, so he shouldn't be so presumptuous in front of Mrs. Liu Shijun. Unexpectedly, before the future, the third son once sent someone to tell me a word, which is called a gentleman loves money, and it is a proper way to get it! It is not our Yuan family's things, and we can't take more than a penny. It is our money, a penny Not less! Liu Shijun is not here now, and you two are wives, so you should pay the money. Don't worry, our army is all soldiers of benevolence and righteousness, and the price is fair, and we will never fool the two wives."

Both of Liu Pi's eyes were blacked out, and he looked like a national treasure.

Hearing this, he raised his head in a daze from the ground, and said to Gao Lan in a daze, "The teacher of benevolence and righteousness also does this?"

"Fuck your mother!"

Gao Lan raised his leg and kicked Liu Pi again, and now Liu Pi did not move at all.

Madam Mi gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to scold, but was stopped by Madam Gan raising her hand.

Mrs. Gan saw Gao Lan's menacing approach, and knew that today's matter would be difficult to deal with. There were not many soldiers on her side, so she couldn't make mistakes, so she said, "General Gao, how much do you want?"

Madam Mi's complexion changed drastically when she heard the words: "Sister!"

Mrs. Gan raised her hand to stop her, and shook her head slightly.

Gao Lan had been prepared for a long time, took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and said: "This is the lease account specially written by our third son. It says that Runan County is the first lease, and the rent must be collected for three years. After careful calculation, based on the rent price of [-] yuan a month, after three years, it should be [-] to [-] yuan. The third son said that our two families have a good relationship. Cross out the change and get [-] yuan first. Money is spent."

When the two ladies heard the words, they almost jumped up and strangled him to death. You bastard, you want [-] yuan, what's the cost?

Gao Lan also felt that Yuan Shang's asking price was inappropriate, but he continued according to Yuan Shang's message: "The third son also said that it doesn't matter if the two wives don't want to give money, so I will invite the two wives to accompany the third son. It’s not too difficult to go to Hebei to wait until Uncle Liu Huang collects enough rent money, and then come to Hebei to change two wives.”

Gan and Mi's complexions suddenly turned green.

Gao Lan smiled darkly: "The third son said that the two wives must know Liu Shijun far better than him. Liu Shijun is a person who does great things. Will you use money to redeem you? You are more important than the son." Clearly, as the saying goes, brothers are like brothers and wives are like clothes, I don’t know what kind of clothes the two wives are in Liu Shijun’s mind, the two wives are smart people, so they must have self-knowledge, right?”

Madam Mi showed anger, and scolded: "Presumptuous, stop talking nonsense!"

On the contrary, Mrs. Gan looked calm.

Regarding Liu Bei, as a person who followed Liu Bei in his early years, Mrs. Gan knew more about Liu Bei than others.

Just like when Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, Mrs. Gan was captured and Liu Bei moved elsewhere.Mi Zhu took the opportunity to marry his younger sister, the current Mrs. Mi, to Liu Bei. Liu Bei did not hesitate to marry Mrs. Mi as his wife. He hardly estimated Mrs. Gan's life and death. In the end, Lu Bu married Liu Bei for political strategy. , Mrs. Gan sent it back.

Although the words of the third son Yuan in Gao Lan's mouth were not pleasant, they faintly touched her pain.

At this moment, there are few soldiers in Runan County, and Liu Pi is an idiot. If Gao Lanfa really robs them, will Liu Bei find a way to save them?

After a long silence, Mrs. Gan finally sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, we gave the money for my husband."

Madam Mi was shocked when she heard the words: "Sister."

"Sister, I don't need to say much. The current situation is like this. Don't force it. You and I are both under the roof at this time. Besides, you understand your husband's temperament."

Madam Mi was taken aback when she heard the words, and understood the meaning of Madam Gan's words.

Angrily glaring at Gao Lan, Mrs. Mi clenched her silver teeth and said bitterly: "One hundred thousand is worth one hundred thousand. My Mi family is a wealthy family. I haven't paid much attention to this thing. I just hope to get it." After paying the money, the third young master you mentioned will be ordered to serve in the future!"
