I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 155 Contest
"Shi Yushi's move is clever. Those idiots must think that Shi Yushi is a lustful person, so relax their vigilance against adults."

A friendly guard put Ma Zhou down, turned around and poured a cup of hot water for Ma Zhou, and handed it over.Ma Zhou laughed and scolded.

"Idiot, do you really think that this official's performance can deceive others? Those old foxes are all smart, how could they be so easily deceived."

"What is the meaning of the servant Yushi's performance today?"

The guard scratched the back of his head in some puzzlement, and asked puzzledly.

"Without him, it's just knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger—"

The guard looked bewildered.Ma Zhou didn't explain, but just looked at the night outside the window and remained silent for a long time.

……

Fangcheng County, Lu's old house.

Lu Dejun frowned, and gently put down the teacup in his hand.

"You said that Ma Zhou didn't say a word about the burning of the granary, but just drinking and having fun?"

"My child suspects that he is posturing and trying to paralyze us. Nine times out of ten, he suspects that we did this."

Lu Sizhi told his father his opinion.

"Then Ma Zhou really underestimates the talents of the world, how can such clumsy couples hide from our eyes."

Lu Dejun looked at his son, shook his head slightly, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, so he stopped talking again, picked up the teacup, and looked outside the door leisurely.

"Patriarch, sons of the Cui family, Zheng family, Zhang family, Song family, Xie family, Ma family and other families have come to visit together and want to ask to see the patriarch!"

Lu Fang, the foreign manager, came in hastily and bowed his hands to the two of them.

"What a bunch of idiots! Tell them, if one is missing, let them all get out of here!"

Angrily, Lu Dejun put the teacup heavily on the table, extremely annoyed, and swears a rare word.

Lu Fang, the housekeeper, couldn't help being stunned, but then he came to his senses, answered yes in a low voice, and then turned to leave.As soon as he walked seven or eight steps away, he heard a faint voice from his Patriarch.

"Forget it, let them in."

Lu Dejun waved his hands helplessly.Although he didn't understand why the Patriarch changed his mind again, he still bowed his head wisely and said yes, turned around and left in a hurry.

"This group of idiots don't even know they're playing tricks. We're going to be tricked to death by them this time!"

Lu Dejun let out a long sigh, and sighed helplessly.

"Cheated?"

Lu Sizhi looked at his father whose expression suddenly became pale, and couldn't help asking softly.

"You still don't understand? Then Ma Zhou is not pretending to be stupid, he is knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger! Those idiots outside the door have clearly fallen into Ma Zhou's trick!"

Lu Dejun shook his head with some regret. He never thought that he was smart all his life, but he gave birth to such a stupid son.

"In normal times, he can be a conservative person, but now how can he support this crisis-ridden family? It's a pity..."

For some reason, he couldn't help thinking of the second son of the concubine, and couldn't help thinking, if his son could get the support of that person, he might be able to keep the family's prosperity and decline for decades, but it's a pity that he was the concubine...

Looking at his father who shook his head and sighed, Lu Sizhi "suddenly realized" and slapped himself on the head.

"In that case, why didn't father drive them all out, so as not to get burned—"

Listening to his own son's advice, Lu Dejun couldn't help feeling the veins popping out of his forehead, wishing he could just throw him against the wall.I said silently several times in my heart, he is my own, he is my own, and I finally suppressed my anger.Some sighed resignedly.

"They've already arrived at the door, it doesn't matter whether they are kicked out or not..."

Looking at his son who was still confused, Lu Dejun completely lost the interest in speaking.Not only did he think of the rebellious bastard again, but he looked deeply towards the direction of the garrison camp beyond the county seat.

Fangcheng County, the garrison camp.

"Is there any change in those people waiting?"

Lu Yan asked in a deep voice while pressing the precious saber at his waist.

"General Qi, everything is business as usual."

The leader of the personal army who just returned from the investigation said in a deep voice.Lu Yan couldn't help but frowned.

"You mean, this fire was purely accidental?"

"Beizhi personally investigated, but there was no sign of man-made at the scene, and according to the soldiers on duty, no suspicious persons were found, and Beizhi believes that the accident was most likely caused by the strong autumn wind that blew a few torches. "

The leader of the soldiers carefully reported the details of the investigation to his school lieutenant. While listening, Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, subconsciously tapped on the cases in front of him with his fingers, interjecting from time to time to ask for details.Fortunately, the leader of the personal army knew the temperament of his school lieutenant long ago, he was prepared and investigated very carefully, so he was not interrupted by his school lieutenant several times to ask questions.

"You mean those torches are the same as ordinary torches, and there is no abnormality?"

There was a flash of light in Lu Yan's eyes, and he raised his head suddenly.

"Judging from the remaining parts of the torches, there is nothing abnormal. I also asked the soldiers on duty specifically. According to them, these torches were indeed collected and placed uniformly."

Although the leader of the personal army didn't know why his school lieutenant was suddenly interested in this, he still replied honestly.

"There is no abnormality, but the biggest abnormality!"

Lu Yan shook his head, but he didn't know who sneaked into his camp and what was his purpose?When he thought of this, he couldn't help looking at the camp where Wei Zheng, Wang Zi'an and others were imprisoned.

"No abnormality is the biggest abnormality?"

Zhang Side scratched his scalp in some puzzlement, and asked subconsciously.Lu Yan smiled, and thoughtfully pointed out to his loyal subordinate, he asked with a smile.

"Do you know how many feet and inches our torches are long, thick, and buried?"

"It's nine feet long and five inches long, and it's nine inches thick. It should not be buried below three feet and two inches..."

When Zhang Side asked his captain, he skillfully reported the size and requirements of these standard torches without even thinking about it.

"Since that's the case, what kind of strong wind can blow down such a torch, and it happens to be in the upwind, not far from the granary?"

"Ah—the general said..."

Zhang Side slapped his thigh in frustration, he was so stupid that he almost fell into the opponent's trick.

Lu Yan nodded approvingly. Although Zhang Side doesn't read much, he is smart and knows everything, which can be regarded as his most powerful help.

"You might as well tell me, what is the other party's intention to light the fire?"

Lu Yan intends to cultivate this capable general, and asked calmly.

"The other party chose to light a fire near the granary. They must have wanted to attract our attention, and then took the opportunity... No, I'll go and see—"

Before Zhang Side finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he wanted to run out.Lu Yan called back directly.

"It's a surprise, what's the proper way? Could it be that the brothers in our big camp can't make up for it? Even if they put on wings, they can't even think about taking people out of me quietly! Tell the brothers below, They all stared at me, not even a single mosquito can be let out!"

"promise!"

Zhang Side promised loudly, turned around and left.Looking at the night sky outside the big tent, Lu Yan couldn't help showing a sneer.
