Strange Biography of Three Kingdoms

"Is everyone here?" Fan Zeng said casually after taking a sip of tea.

Qin Feng, the Patriarch of the Qin Family, whispered, "The Patriarch of the Li Family did not come."

Another human said: "The head of the Qian family didn't come either."

"There's also Zhao's."

Fan Zeng's face remained unchanged, he put down his teacup, and said loudly: "Since these people are unwilling to come, then I will naturally see some people's faces clearly after waiting. It is also a good thing for us."

"Patriarch Fan said yes," everyone responded one after another.It's just that everyone's expressions are quite different.

Fan Zeng pretended not to see it, and said directly: "This time the general came here in person and invited us to a banquet at the prefect's mansion early this morning. Do you have any opinions? Let's talk about it."

Qin Feng frowned and said: "Patriarch Fan, I think this is not a good thing."

"Oh, how do you know?" The Fan family has controlled the local area for many years, and no one has ever touched their position. Naturally, they have some tricks.

"Patriarch, don't you remember that the prince of the prefect rode out of the city on horseback, and then the prefect was directly demoted to the county magistrate?"

"Yes," someone interjected, "I was thinking about this too. At that time, the general had just entered Youzhou and had not yet arrived in Ji County, so he took down one of the prefects first, but just because of the fact that the prefect's son rode a horse, we This time, we will unite together to force the palace."

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly changed their colors. Some people didn't think so far-reaching. Now hearing what he said, they also remembered what Yuan Xi did at that time.

Fan Zeng took everyone's gaze into his eyes, snorted coldly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "It's true, but everyone, don't forget that our Fanyang County's sacrifice in the battle with Cao Cao this time, my Fanyang County The common people lived and died together with the Yuan family, this contribution is immeasurable, now only a few short months, how dare he, Yuan Xi, settle accounts with us?"

Everyone nodded, thinking that what Fan Zeng said made sense.

Fan Zeng smiled slightly, and continued: "If he really liquidated us, you can think about the result of how this news will affect his reputation."

"Patriarch Fan is wise!"

"Patriarch Fan is far-sighted, I'm ashamed of myself."

Hearing the sound of flattery, Fan Zeng looked pale, "Of course, this is also my idea, the general is not an ordinary person, and his thoughts are not something we can guess, so we have to make the worst plan .”

Everyone stared at him closely, feeling a little nervous, the worst plan?The most snobbish in the world, even Cao Cao can't defeat Yuan Xi, what can he and others do if they face the worst ending?

Fan Zeng stands tall. Although he is over 40 years old, he still looks very strong and has a very stable bearing, which is easy to convince people.

Chapter 635

"Everyone, after all, we are forcing the palace this time. The matter is not too big, but it is not so small. Have you ever thought about the fact that the general wants to punish us?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "I am not an official, so even if you punish a crime, it is probably just a punishment, but there are officials in your family, I am afraid this time it will be the focus of the liquidation. At that time, if our aristocratic families lack the government There are a lot of things, but it’s not easy to do.”

Everyone's expressions were a little heavy.Those who can come at this time must be somewhat involved, even if they regret it.

Fan Zeng's voice suddenly increased, "So I decided that if the general has a serious crime and light punishment, as long as we give him a step down, then we will admit it. But if we make up our minds and want to punish us, then we need to unite You can't give away your wealth for nothing, let people know that our Youzhou family is easy to bully, and it will embarrass the world's family."

Everyone was shocked, yes, I am the head of a family and a well-known figure in the local area, if Yuan Xi is really ruthless, will I just let others slaughter me?

Qin Feng pondered and said: "Patriarch, what about the eldest son?"

Fan Zeng's face darkened and turned livid.

Everyone was silent, but Qin Feng said to himself: "We originally asked the prefect to explain this matter. Could it be that we don't care about the eldest son's affairs because the general is here?"

Fan Zeng's face became more and more gloomy, very ugly.

Qin Feng shuddered, he felt that his flattery was a little out of place.

Fan Zeng snorted, turned his head and said: "Of course this matter has to be settled, but the general has come, if this matter is used to offset our forcing the palace, then it can only be forgotten, but the impact of this matter is indeed far-reaching. After the news of the incident spread, tell me what our status will be in the future? Our aristocratic family will have greater power in the future. With the sacrifice of my son, for the well-being of everyone, I, Fan, have recognized it."

Really admit it?How can it be!Just can't talk to them.

Everyone was naturally grateful again.Of course, many of them are scheming, so they naturally know what Fan Zeng's plan is.

Fan Zeng coughed lightly, and said: "After talking about it, I still have to say that the general will punish us for the ransacking of the house."

Taking a look at everyone's faces, Fan Zeng said to himself: "If this is the case, do you know what to do?"

Qin Feng expressed anxiously, "Patriarch, this time the general came here, but he brought a hundred personal guards."

Everyone has different expressions, some are excited, some are uneasy, and more are silent.

Fan Zeng's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said in a harsh voice: "If we want to live a good life in the future, we must be ruthless. If we are not ruthless, others will be ruthless to us. Do you understand?"

Everyone stood up together, "Follow the Patriarch's instructions."

Fan Zeng showed a smile, called everyone to come to him, told them secretly, and then told them to go back to the prefect's mansion for a banquet.

At noon, the prefect's mansion.

Gao Lan was sitting on the main case, the judge was sitting with him on the lower right, and the one on the far left was Fan Zeng.

Behind him are some family heads.

It stands to reason that Fan Zeng is not qualified to sit in this seat anyway, but today's banquet guests are special, so he sat in front instead.

Fan Zeng's performance was quite calm, but his eyes kept looking around, wondering where Yuan Xi went?

Gao Lan asked the guards beside him in a low voice, and the two exchanged a few words. After a long time, Gao Lan got up and said with a smile, "Okay, everyone is here now. Please do me a favor. I'll have a drink first."

After speaking, he raised his wine glass to signal to everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The atmosphere was a little dull, and no one spoke.

Gao Lan didn't care either. After drinking, he sat down again and said casually: "Everyone eats wine and food, don't mind, just treat this as home."

So everyone ate and drank, and after a while, Fan Zeng gave Qin Feng a wink.

Qin Feng understood, picked up the wine glass, got up and said: "Gao Taishou, I toast you."

Gao Lan recognized this person, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "So it's Patriarch Qin, come on, let's drink this."

Qin Feng drank the wine, but did not sit down, Gao Lan frowned, and then let go, "Patriarch Qin, is this?"

Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "Prefect Gao, I heard that the general has come to our Fanyang County, why is there no general at the banquet?"

Gao Lan's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "What kind of person is the general? We are sitting here, can someone let him sit with him?"

Qin Feng's face suddenly became very exciting, and he stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

Fan Zeng raised his glass and interjected: "Prefect Gao, if I heard correctly this time, the person hosting the banquet should be the general."

Gao Lan nodded, "That's right, it was the general who heard that I had some conflicts with everyone, so he wanted to sit in the middle."
