Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 224 This is Danyang Prefect

"Ling Fa, after avenging your second brother, you want to avenge your elder brother! Well, yes, it is right to avenge your brother, Ling Fa, just do it!"

Liu Yao was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words, but then smiled again. He didn't mean to stop Zhu Wei, but Liu Yao also understood that Zhu Wei was going to develop his territory in Jiaozhou.

However, just like his previous attitude towards Ruo Rong, Liu Yao didn't care about Zhu Wei's development of territory outside of Jiangdong. Anyway, Zhu Wei was attached to him, and Zhu Wei's outward development of territory was tantamount to building territory for him.

"Thank you, Lord Muzhou, for fulfilling the task!"

Zhu Wei took advantage of the situation and saluted Liu Yao, and both of them seemed very satisfied for a while.

"Okay, come on, Lingfa, let me introduce you to everyone in the hall today. These are all capable officials under Danyang's rule. Lingfa, this is Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang!"

Liu Yao didn't continue to talk to Zhu Wei about Jiaozhou, but changed the subject and introduced Zhu Wei to the people in the hall, one of the leaders was Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang.

Zhu Wei also glanced at him unexpectedly. This is Zhou Yu's uncle, is he Zhou Yu's biggest backer in Danyang?

It’s just that Zhu Wei didn’t know why Liu Yao introduced Zhou Shang to him. At the beginning, Zhu Wei reminded Liu Yao about Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu. Although Zhu Wei has no evidence to prove that Zhou Yu was secretly helping Sun Ce, Liu Yao You must have investigated secretly.

But now it seems that Zhou Shang is still doing his Danyang prefect position well this week.

But this was just a few thoughts in Zhu Wei's mind. On the surface, Zhu Wei still saluted Zhou Shang as if nothing had happened, "We have seen the prefect Zhou!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Zhou Shang returned a salute to Zhu Wei as if there was nothing unusual. Of course, Zhou Shang is now nearly fifty years old, and his hair and beard look a little gray.

Liu Yao smiled at the side, and said again, "Ling Fa, back then you recommended Zhou Yu, the nephew of Zhou Taishou, to me. , Zhou Lang Gu Zhi said, I heard that Zhou Lang is handsome and handsome, which is what many women in Jiangdong want, haha, it's a pity that Zhou Lang has gone back to Lujiang to recuperate, it's a pity that I haven't seen him before!"

After hearing Liu Yao's words, Zhu Wei's heart moved again. It seemed that Liu Yao really had concerns and doubts about Zhou Yu, so Liu Yao should have asked Zhou Shang to see Zhou Yu.

It's just that Zhou Yu might have been hiding in Lujiang because he was sick and refused to come to see Liu Yao, or he might have been pretending to be in Lujiang.

Now that Lujiang is under the control of Yuan Shu, even if Liu Yao wanted to investigate something, he might not be able to find out the truth about Zhou Yu's illness. However, it seems that Liu Yao brought Zhou Shang here, perhaps because of Zhou Yu As a hostage, Zhou Yu will not dare to act recklessly if he coerces Zhou Yu.

It's just that Zhou Shang can be regarded as the prefect of a county appointed by the imperial court, so Liu Yao is still forced by his reputation, so he can't directly attack Zhou Shang.

Thinking of these, Zhu Wei seemed to understand a little bit, and Liu Yao introduced Zhou Shang to Zhu Wei this time, probably to remind Zhu Wei that he had already paid attention to Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu.

In fact, when Zhu Wei wrote to Liu Yao several times before, he also mentioned the threat of Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu in Danyang many times.

As for Zhu Wei's recommendation, of course it was Liu Yao's excuse, otherwise how could he find an excuse to ask Zhou Shang about Zhou Yu.

"Well, Wei has already heard of Zhou Lang's name, but it's a pity that he has never seen him. He heard that Zhou Lang is resourceful and good at fighting, especially in the affairs of the navy. If Wei can have Zhou Lang's help, he will not be afraid of Huang Zu's threat to Yuzhang. ! And if Liu Muzhou can win Zhou Yu, there will be no worries on the Jiangdong frontline!"

Zhu Wei also intentionally expressed his admiration to Zhou Yu, but he secretly peeked at Zhou Shang's expression. This week, Zhou Shang heard Liu Yao and Zhu Wei both mentioned Zhou Yu, and his expression obviously showed a bit of helplessness. Obviously he also Understand your current situation.

So Zhou Shang quickly said, "Well, although Gong Jin's nephew has a nickname, he is actually a bit of a fan. During the heavy rain one day, I drank too much, and I could hear the melody, so I could sing and dance wildly in the rain, but I didn't want to suffer from typhoid fever. Now I can only go back to my hometown in Shu County to recuperate. The old man wrote several times, saying that he was seriously ill It’s hard to go, I’m bedridden, I’m afraid I’m in danger of my life! It’s against Muzhou’s good intentions to do so!”

I don't know whether these words were taught by Zhou Yu himself to Zhou Shang, or how Zhou Shang found an excuse. Anyway, now Zhou Shang just insists that Zhou Yu is ill and is recuperating in his hometown in Shu County, Lujiang County. Forcing, maybe Zhou Yu will fake death to escape, so as not to implicate Zhou Shang, it is also possible.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Yao's mouth when he heard the words. Obviously Liu Yao didn't believe it. Liu Yao should have found out some things about Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, at least he knew about the friendship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce since they were young, so Liu Yao also believed it to a certain extent. Zhou Yu He secretly helped Sun Ce plan to raid Jiangdong, but there is no direct evidence.

Zhu Wei also understood the meaning behind Zhou Shang's words, so he seemed to sigh, "Oh, it's a pity! But Wei also heard that Zhou Lang and that Sun Ce had a good relationship since they were married, and they can be regarded as good friends. When attacking Jiangdong, Wei knew that there were people from Danyang in Jiangdong, who recruited soldiers for Sun Ce, gathered food and grass, and helped Sun Ce. If Wei hadn't stopped Sun Ce in Liyang, Sun Ce might have crossed the river now! It is said that this helped Sun Ce. The person is Zhou Lang! Haha, please forgive Zhou Taishou, this is all rumors! But, could it be that Zhou Lang is not suffering from typhoid fever, and is also suffering from the same fire disease as Sun Ce?"

"Young Master Zhu, what do you mean by this! This old man is the prefect of Danyang, and he considers himself the caretaker of Liu Muzhou, so how could he let his nephew and nephew do such a thing! Hmph, if it really happened, Liu Muzhou can just go to the old man's official position, Just send this old man to prison!"

This week, Shang Wenyan's face changed slightly, but he quickly waved his sleeves angrily, turned his head to look at Liu Yao, obviously putting on a shameless gesture, anyway, you must either catch me, or don't say that about me, I will never admit it.

Liu Yao knew in his heart that what Zhu Wei said might be true, but at the moment he didn't have any evidence, so he could only laugh and say, "Don't worry about the prefect Zhou, these are all rumors that Ling Fa heard! Let's talk about this It's all children's affairs, how can it involve Zhou Taishou's office! Well, Ling Fa, this matter can't be said any more!"

"Please forgive me, Governor Zhou, it's the boy Meng Lang!"

Zhu Wei also took advantage of the situation to make amends, but Zhu Wei knew in his heart that he was absolutely right, but he didn't know if Zhou Yu was really burned too.

Zhu Wei suddenly thought of something, if both Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were burned in the Liyang fire, would they both be disfigured...
