Smuggler of Two Worlds
Chapter 95
"Father, the matter has been roughly clarified. Gu Haoran suddenly makes trouble. For Jiang Fan... I''m afraid it''s just an unwarranted disaster. For our own interests, we must stop Gu Haoran. If possible, it''s best to protect Jiang Fan, at least in the open, so that Gu Haoran and Gu Yan dare not act recklessly."
Zhou he came to the courtyard where King Zhou Di lived. After entering the house and meeting his father, he said seriously.
Zhou Di, king of Wu, looked surprised, looked at the direction of the bedroom and motioned Zhou He to accompany him out of the house.
Walking in the yard, he whispered, "your mother''s concubine has been sleeping less and less recently. If there is a slight movement, she may be awakened, and then she can''t continue to sleep all night. It''s really worrying."
"Does Doctor Liu always have no way?"
Zhou he asked with a frown.
"Hey, what Doctor Liu means is that there is nothing wrong with your mother''s body. The reason why she can''t sleep well is entirely a mental and spiritual problem. There''s no other way to do it except to take care of herself. Let''s talk about Gu Haoran''s problem in detail. Why does Gu Haoran involve our interests in Fu Nanjiang fan?"
Zhou Di shook her head and sighed. After saying a few words, she waved her hand slightly irritably.
"Father, do you remember when we found out not long ago that Gu Yan wanted to secretly buy the land of Linjia village not far from the city?"
Zhou he asked.
"Of course, Gu Yan has ulterior motives. It''s too close to Heyang. The fast horse can reach Heyang in less than half an hour. Moreover, the terrain is very special, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once there is a simple transformation, it won''t take long to turn the whole Linjia Village into a simple military camp."
Zhou Di snorted coldly and then said, "if you hide a elite soldier in it, it''s almost impossible to find out what the troops are based on the terrain of Linjia village. At that time... Once Heyang changes, this elite soldier may become a force to control the war situation."
"Yes, father, Jiang Fan and the two people around him are from Linjia village."
Zhou He nodded and said.
"What? They are from Linjia village? How can there be nine strong people in Linjia village?"
Zhou Di looked surprised.
"This is not clear for the time being. In the future, there will be time to investigate. Let''s talk about Gu Haoran first. Gu Yan wants to buy the whole Linjia village, but he is rejected by the family with the most land in the Linjia village, and there is no room for rejection. Even if another family with a large amount of land is willing to sell, it makes no sense."
Zhou he continued.
"Yes, for Gu Yan, if his purpose of buying land is as we think, he must buy the whole Linjia village. Just because Gu Yan''s idea of buying land was directly rejected, we didn''t intervene. What? Gu Haoran dealt with this Jiang Fan for the sake of land?"
Zhou Di frowned and asked.
"I guess so, but there are too many implications, so I didn''t explain it to Jiang Fan. Therefore, many situations can only be speculated, and I can''t directly ask Jiang Fan."
"I''ve been paying attention to the Linjia village. It hasn''t rained for more than three months near Heyang city. The drought has almost wiped out the nearby fields, and Linjia village has also been seriously affected."
"As far as I know, Gu Yan took advantage of the drought to find another family in Linjia village who was willing to sell land and promised a very high land purchase price, on the premise that... The whole land in Linjia village must be bought at one time."
Speaking of this, Zhou he deliberately paused, let his father digest these contents, and continued: "the family willing to sell land threatened the family unwilling to sell land through the drought, because the whole Linjia village is extremely short of food."
"That''s why Gu Haoran wanted to deal with Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan... Solved the food problem in Linjia village. Since there is no longer a lack of food, the family who is unwilling to sell land certainly has no reason to sell land."
A surprised expression appeared on Zhou Di''s face, and he asked curiously, "Jiang Fan has solved the food problem in Linjia village? He is a scholar... And knows farm work?"
Zhou he suddenly had a strange expression on his face, looked at his father and said with a little hesitation; "He... Should not know farm work."
"Don''t understand? How to solve the food problem?"
The cycle is even more strange.
"Well... Father, Jiang Fan sold a poem at the price of 100 Guan. Later, he made 200 Guan from the Lu family in the south of the city by writing a poem bet. In order to let Jiang Fan participate in the fujiangyuan poetry club that night, the child may have received a reward of 100 Guan."
Zhou Hena continued: "the grain of Linjia village is purchased directly from Heyang city. The money used to buy grain should be obtained in this way."
Listening to his son''s explanation, Zhou Di couldn''t help looking dull.
After a long delay, Zhou Di took a deep breath and said, "I thought he was just trying to have fun selling poetry, but I didn''t expect that he really made a living from it?! a strange man who was considered by the teachers to be the first in poetry, was so philistine? If those old teachers knew, wouldn''t they have to die alive?"
"It''s not just selling poetry for a living. Jiang Fan also likes to write poetry and swear. You know what happened in Fujiang garden on the night of the reunion day."
Zhou he shook his head with the same wry smile, and then said, "by the way, after he just figured it out, he made a joke with Jiang Fan and asked Jiang Fan to make a poem that he liked. He came forward to help him. Does father want to know what kind of poem he made?"
"Another poem? What kind of poem? I won''t scold you, too?"
Zhou Di asked with a smile.
"That''s not true. I told him I liked detached and free and easy poems. As a result, he made one for me on the spot."
Zhou he didn''t sell off. After a simple explanation, he said in a loud voice: "Jielu is in the human environment, but there is no noise of cars and horses. Ask you why you can? Your heart is far from you. Under the East fence of picking chrysanthemums, you can see the Nanshan Mountain leisurely. The mountain gas is beautiful day and night, and the birds return to each other. There is a true meaning. I want to distinguish... I have forgotten my words."
Zhou Di''s eyes lit up and murmured, "the heart is far from the side? The heart is far from the side... The heart is far from the side! What a heart is far from the side! This Jiang fan is indeed a strange man! Even if there is no thing about Lin family village, just look at his poetry, we should protect this Jiang Fan!"
"Yes, father, I think so. Jiang Fan... Has great ambition and talent if he can make such poems!"
Zhou he said with a smile.
"Let''s go. In addition, you said you wanted to protect that Jiang Fan... But listening to this poem, I suddenly had a new idea. Didn''t he want to be ''far away from himself''? Let''s give him a chance to ''get married in the human world''!"
Zhou Di said in a deep voice with his eyes shining.
"Father means..."
"Isn''t the official position of Heyang City captain just vacant? It''s the intention of King Wu''s mansion to arrange Jiang Fan. If Gu Yan has any objection, let him come to me directly."
"Ah?! isn''t this... Appropriate?"
Zhou he looked shocked.
"There''s nothing inappropriate. The city guard''s house is a backwater. Just take this opportunity, let''s try... To stir it up."
"Yes... Father... The boy will arrange it now."
