The Return of the General to the Field

Chapter 59 Borrowing a Knife

The Huo family's Tianzi secret guard is easy to use, Meng Wu wrote a short message, sealed it in an envelope, and handed it to the secret guard, asking Huo Xiuwen to come to Anyang County for a talk.

Early this morning, Xia He helped Meng Wu change into a gray gown. Meng Wu was going out to meet Huo Xiuwen.

"Don't worry, the matter can be resolved today!" Meng Wu stroked the back of Xia He's head.

"Go, be more polite to Brother Huo!" Xia He instructed with a smile.He wasn't actually worried, why did my husband always feel that he would worry about this matter, he didn't have any confidence in his husband.

Meng Wu went out, he knew that he would not be relaxed in the meeting for a while.Politicians are masters who don't see rabbits and don't spread eagles. If they want to not owe Huo Xiuwen favors, Meng Wu has to persuade him to do this willingly or even take the initiative, instead of simply helping out because of his relationship with Meng Wu.

It’s not that Meng Wu thinks too much about personal relationships, but that Meng Wu himself is not sure about the future. It’s okay if he’s always been a farmer. Huo Xiuwen was on a dangerous path when he returned to official position, it was too dangerous, and the favor he owed was not so easy to repay.After all, he still owes Dr. Ouyang to him!

The lobby of Su Ranju was still as quiet as ever, and the scattered tables of guests were all wearing Confucian shirts, and they should all be scholars.Xiao Er took Meng Wu up to the private room on the second floor. Huo Xiuwen was leisurely pinching the small teacup between his thumb and the other four fingers. room door.

"Guest officer, here it is." Xiaoer said courteously, Meng Wu nodded slightly, motioning him to leave, and then stretched out his hand to push the door.

"How long have you been here?"

"It's not long, Brother Meng, sit down quickly."

Meng Wu stepped forward and sat opposite Huo Xiuwen, without touching the tea on the table, he was ready to get straight to the point.

"Did you see my letter?"

"Yeah. Brother Meng said in his letter that there was a 'gift' for me. I'm very curious. I don't know what it is. You should know that I changed the tour route for this purpose and gave up the big fish I wanted to bait." Huo Xiuwen said in the When he received Meng Wu's letter, he made a special effort to find out about the matter of Mengjia Village. Since Meng Wu had something to ask for himself, he naturally wanted to put the weight of this favor a little higher. This is someone like himself who has been in officialdom basic skills.Regardless of whether Meng Wu will continue to stay in the country in the future, but in case this favor is used, the point is always good.

"Don't worry, your big fish may be big, but it's definitely not that delicious. My gift here is also a fish. It's a little smaller, but it's definitely worth a lot!"

"What exactly is Brother Meng trying to say?" Hearing this sentence, Huo Xiuwen made it clear that Meng Wu didn't want to owe favors. Although he had a faint premonition when he read the letter, he was still very curious. How to persuade him to take the initiative to solve this trouble.

Meng Wu straightened his expression and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the guy above has been trying to touch Pang Shoufu for a long time!"

Huo Xiuwen was a little surprised why Meng Wu mentioned this, it has nothing to do with this incident, right?Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Huo Xiuwen continued on the topic: "Pang Shoufu, the elder of the three dynasties, was born in the first period, and became the chief assistant in the former emperor's time. If you want to open up a new trend, you will naturally take this man!"

The muscles on Meng Wu's face eased a little, revealing a sense of clarity.

"However, it's not easy to start, right? Pang Shoufu has been in business for many years, and has gone through three dynasties. The fox's tail hides very deeply."

Huo Xiuwen didn't deny it, the fact was that, although he was outside, he was very clear about being the center of power, in fact, after all, he could be regarded as remotely controlling affairs in the capital, and had a close connection with the new emperor.He went out to be an official firstly to gain seniority, and secondly, the new emperor wanted to preserve his own team. As soon as the new emperor came to power, he began to clean up the court. It was impossible for him to put all his trump cards in the capital basket.

"According to the information I have, the new emperor's power already has enough evidence, but for troublesome things, Pang Shoufu is not a vegetarian. He also knows his situation, and his actions are becoming more and more impeccable. It is difficult to find the right time to act. .”

As Huo Xiuwen said, he poured himself another cup of clear tea, and poured a stream of slightly brown tea into the cup. When it was almost full, Huo Xiuwen paused his hands slightly, his movements were smooth and smooth, revealing an irresistible aristocratic flair.

"No wonder, your official promotion is so fast, the new emperor can't stand it! Want to break through from the outside, smart!"

"Although the new emperor is a little impatient, he is indeed in control of the overall situation and is wise and decisive!"

"What does this have to do with you looking for me?" Huo Xiuwen raised his eyes and stared at Meng Wu.

"Brother, pay attention to the details. The higher you fly, the lower you must look. You can't ignore him just because he is an ant. After all, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. The magistrate of Anyang County is also surnamed Pang!"

Huo Xiuwen's pretty brows frowned, "The county magistrate of Anyang County is called Pang Tong! What's the use of a little shrimp who is eight feet away from the one in the capital?"

"So what if it's far away? As long as the surname is not Pang!" Meng Wu said straight away.Huo Xiuwen was stunned for a second, then laughed, he knew what Meng Wu was planning!Indeed, the county magistrate Pang of Anyang County is a small fish, but what the new emperor wants is just a reason to use the sword, no matter how small it is, it is practical, starting from this Pang Tong, he can bring out big melons!In this way, Meng Wu is equivalent to sending Huo Xiuwen what he has been looking for for a long time. This is a great gift. If there is no matter about Mengjiacun, this opportunity would not be possible. Huo Xiuwen even thanked Mengjiacun, and it is his duty to solve it!

"Okay! I thank Brother Meng here. Since Brother Meng invited me here, I must have a countermeasure. Tell me! How do you want my brother to cooperate?"

Meng Wu also let out hearty laughter a few times, and took a sip from the teacup on the table, successfully turning unilateral help into mutual help.The previous ones are all tricks, and the next one is the main topic. Meng Wu doesn't care about the chief assistant or the so-called treacherous undercurrent in the court. His purpose today is to borrow a knife and use Huo Xiuwen's hand to clean up Pang Tong. But, who else can rely on to support the so-called Jin family and Meng Xinfu's takeover tricks?After that, how Huo Xiuwen used Pang Tong's affairs to operate was not Meng Wu's concern!It depends on Huo Xiuwen's ability to use Pang Tong's incident to burn the fire on Pang Shoufu.

"Mengjia Village has prepared a petition for all people, and I hope that my virtuous brother will come to Anyang County to visit when he can take over the post. At that time, the head of Mengjia Village will stop the sedan chair and call for grievances! After that, I will rely on my virtuous brother to play a good role as an upright and honest man who makes decisions for the people. Good job!"

"Aren't I?" Huo Xiuwen blinked his sparkling peach eyes and asked pretending to be puzzled.

Meng Wu didn't want to talk to this brazen person, and didn't answer his words.Now that the two have reached an agreement, it's time to discuss the details...

*******

Meng Wu first left the door of Su Ranju, it was already afternoon, Meng Wu and Huo Xiuwen were both meticulous and impeccable people, they deduced the matter carefully to ensure that there were no mistakes.

After returning home, Xia He breathed a sigh of relief when he got a definite answer from Meng Wu. There are people Xia He cares about in Mengjia Village, and he doesn't want to see Mengjia Village in trouble.There is also the land of his own family. Although the family is not short of money, it was taken away by unscrupulous people for no reason, and Xia He also vomited.

"Have you eaten in the county?" Xia He asked Meng Wu with concern after she was relieved.

"I ate, but I'm hungry again!" Meng Wu said solemnly, if his bright eyes and big unruly hands were ignored.

How could Xia He not know what kind of virtue Meng Wu is, so he hugged Xiao Xueer to him, glanced at him, and said, "Then I'll cook, you wait a while."
