After Chen Gui finished speaking, he was about to stand up. Chen Deng, who was beside him, hurriedly came to help him.

"Since the doctor cares about Xuzhou, he must be careful when raising food." The Chen family and his son pretended, and Lv Bu said something critical, meaning that it was not enough to be filial.

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, I will do my best to handle it." Chen Gui spoke smoothly, but he never mentioned the specific amount.

The Chen family father and son said goodbye to Lu Bu and strode out of the house in a blink of an eye. They were originally lobbyists for Liu Bei, but in the end they became the "defendants" for no reason. Even the reckless man couldn't stand up to them verbally. The two of them held back too many words in their hearts.

Chen Deng wanted to express his opinion when he stepped out of the mansion, but found that Chen Gong, the think tank, was guarding outside. He had no choice but to say hello politely, and did not speak until the carriage started running.

"Father, Lu Bu's aggressiveness just now must be due to Chen Gong's plan. Maybe there was no grain ship that was attacked, and he deliberately found a reason to exploit us." Chen Deng's thin face was full of displeasure.

Chen Gui half-squinted his eyes and replied in a low voice: "Yuanlong, don't be angry. You need to act and speak more calmly. There may be no reason for making unfounded rumors. It seems that if we don't support him with some food, this matter will not end."

"Even if the grain ship is really burned, it's not like Uncle Cong's style. It must be Chen Gongan who was responsible. This guy is really hateful. I sent someone to check it out as soon as I got home. I don't believe there are no flaws." Chen Gongan.

Den gritted his teeth.

Chen Gui opened his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Yuanlong doesn't need to waste his efforts. Even if Gong Wei didn't do this, Lu Bu and Chen Gong would think it was. After all, he is now the lord of Xuzhou. It's unreasonable not to provide some money and food.

Just plant it..."

"Liu Bei was not like this at that time..."

"If Lü Bu had the character of Liu Bei, and with his bravery and good fortune, he would not be able to end up in a place like this. You could secretly go to the post house at night and bribe Han Yin to falsely accuse the general who was guarding the grain. Then you would say that this man deliberately burned the grain ship.

It's because he took Liu Bei's property with the intention of destroying the marriage between the Yuan and Lu families."

"Why? Yuan Shu can't admit it." Chen Deng opened his eyes wide.

Chen Gui said coldly: "It doesn't matter if Yuan Shucheng admits it, but we can't make up for the food promised to Lu Bu, right? So we have to muddy the water first, and then just provide more symbolic support. He can do what he did to Dong Zhuo back then.

Kill a grain official to smooth things over."

"But it's Lu Bu who suffers the loss. If he doesn't receive enough dowry, will he marry his daughter?"

"Lü Bu has no principles. He likes to be close to both princes and bureaucrats. In fact, he has no ambitions, but Yuan Shu has evil intentions. Once the two of them are closely connected, it will be harmful to Xuzhou but not beneficial. Lu Bu will not marry his daughter.

Well, if you fall out with Yuan Shu because of this, I think it's worth it even if your father provides some money and food."

Chen Deng twisted his beard and echoed: "I have heard a little bit about Han Yin's character. He will be bribed with a lot of money. It's just that I pity the grain officer..."

Chen Gui solemnly replied: "Everyone has a destiny. He was born in a military family in the capital of Guizhou, and unfortunately he was a soldier of Yuan Shu. He deserves to end up like this. If you want to protect your family property in these troubled times, you must not be kind to women."

"My child understands..." Chen Deng nodded in agreement.

That night, Chen Deng prepared a heavy gift and visited Han Yin in the post house, and finally reached some kind of agreement.

Two days later, Chen Gui went to the prefect's mansion again. After entering, he found that Lu Bu seemed to be waiting for him.

Lu Bu pointed to the empty table at the bottom of the table and joked: "Doctor, you came quite late today, please hurry up and take a seat."

"I am old, Marquis Wen, please forgive me." Chen Gui smiled awkwardly and slowly came forward and took a seat.

When Lu Bu saw Chen Gui sitting down, he went straight to the point: "How are the preparations for the food agreed on that day?"

Chen Gui replied: "We have been working hard in the past two days. I estimate that I can have five thousand dendrobiums, which should be able to solve the urgent need of Marquis Wen."

"Five thousand? Not enough, not enough..." Lu Bu waved his hands without a smile.

Chen Gui had known that Lu Bu would not accept it, but he did not expect that the other party would be so straightforward, so he adjusted his sitting posture, stroked his beard and said: "Marquis Wen is very clear about Xuzhou's harvest in the past two years, and the situation of the Chen family is not optimistic either.

Even these five thousand dendrobium grains were dug out from the teeth of farmers. In order to support Marquis Wen in using troops, the Chen family really tried their best."

"The Chen family is a famous family in Xuzhou. Five thousand dendrobium is enough to do your best?" Lu Bu lowered his head and raised his eyes.

"I really tried my best." Chen Gui nodded and immediately changed the subject: "Besides, I heard that the incident of burning grain and sinking the ship had nothing to do with Gong Wei. It was actually Yuan Shu, the grain escort officer, for ulterior motives.

, he burned the grain boat..."

"Doctor, are you talking about the young general Long Xiang? What ulterior motives does he have?" Lu Bu's expression at this time was like a lion facing a rabbit, looking determined.

Chen Gui shook his head gently: "It's unknown..."

"Let me guess, could it be that Long Xiang was bribed by Liu Bei to deliberately sabotage the marriage between my general and Yuan Shu, and then went to relieve Xiaopei's crisis?" Lu Bu asked meaningfully.

After hearing this, Chen Gui rolled his eyes and nodded in agreement: "It should be possible. Is it Chen Gongtai's inference?"

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "It's Han Yin."

"Since it is what Mr. Han said, it must be true. The unjust injustice that my brother suffered can now be cleared up. The general is wise." After hearing this, Chen Gui was overjoyed and secretly praised Chen Deng.

Well done. Han Yin actually spoke so hard. He must have tricked Yuan Shu many times before.

"Doctor, don't worry, Han Yin still has something to say." Lu Bu raised the corners of his mouth.

"Anything else?"

Seeing Lu Bu's strange expression, Chen Gui suddenly had a bad premonition.

Lu Bu leaned forward slightly and continued with a smile: "Han Yin also said... Those words just now were taught by your son Yuan Long (Chen Deng). Does the doctor think they are true or false? Should Yuan Long be called in to confront him?"

"

"This..." Chen Gui felt a ball of blood in his chest rush to his forehead. He never expected this result.

Lu Bu sat upright, tapping on the desk, and said very calmly: "Doctor, do you think Lu Bu, a warrior, can plot against me?"

"That's not the case. There must be a misunderstanding..." Chen Gui felt that he was talking too much and couldn't explain it clearly.

"Is it really a misunderstanding?" Lu Bu asked relentlessly.

Chen Gui was thinking wildly in his mind. He was wondering whether this matter could be big or small, and he didn't need to worry about the consequences.

Thinking of this, Chen Gui stood up solemnly, clasped his hands and said: "All misunderstandings are caused by food. When Chen Gui went back, he just smashed the pot and sold iron. Within one month, he raised 100,000 dendrobium for Marquis Wen. I wonder if this misunderstanding can be solved?"

"Do you really mean what the doctor said?" Lu Bu stood up in surprise.

Chen Gui nodded solemnly and said: "A man's words are hard to follow, but I have a small condition."

"Doctor, please speak." Lu Bu extended his hand to signal, his expression turned 180 degrees and returned to his former harmonious appearance.

"Xiaopei and Xiapi are at odds with each other. If Liu Bei is killed by Ji Ling, there is no guarantee that Yuan Shu will not attack Xuzhou. I ask Marquis Wen to raise troops to rescue Xiaopei." Chen Gui knew that he could not escape the rip-off, so he simply helped a bunch of others.

Liu Bei, by the way, let the Mi family owe a favor.
