Fa Zheng was escorted by Xu Shu to the State Pastoral Mansion. It has become a scenery of Chengdu City tonight.

At this time, the state office was brightly lit.

When Xu Shu entered Chengdu City, the city gate guards had already sent the news to Liu Bei.

Regarding Xu Shu's sudden return, Liu Bei was shocked.

If Xu Shu was guarding the very important Hanping City, he would face the attack of Liu Jun in Jingzhou. Leaving Hanping City at this time, if Gao Shun, Kou Feng and others have the opportunity to take advantage of it, then Chengdu will not be dangerous.

When he finally learned that Xu Shu was going to Fazheng's side, Liu Bei's mood changed. It seems that Xu Shu found out what Fa Zheng did today, so he hurried back.

Things have happened, and Liu Bei doesn't want the situation to continue to expand, so he has to send someone to inform Xu Shu and ask him to come to see him immediately.

As soon as the people who could be sent out left on their front feet, Xu Shu sent the news that Fa Zheng had been caught in front of Liu Bei.

Arresting Fa Zheng with great fanfare, Liu Bei knew that tonight would be an eventful night.

As a lord, it's hard. Liu Bei wanted to say that it was too difficult.

Liu Bei cheered up, opened the door, and waited for Xu Shu to escort Fa Zheng to come.

Xu Shu is one of Liu Bei's absolute henchmen, and Liu Bei has to give Xu Shu a little face no matter what.

Opening the middle door is Liu Bei's face to Xu Shu.

From Zhang Song's house to Liu Bei's state pastor's mansion, the distance was not much, and Xu Shu arrived quickly.

"Strategist, it's time for the lord. Can you loosen it down? Fa Zheng's shoulders were pressed by the two soldiers, and the anger in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

Since becoming friends with Zhang Song, Fa Zheng has not been pressed by others like today in Yizhou for so many years.

Speaking of which, Xu Shu is insulting Fazheng and making Fazheng lose face.

Xu Shu glanced at Fa Zheng coldly, and said softly to the soldiers, "Let him go." ”

The two soldiers immediately let go, and Fa Zheng suddenly felt a sense of relief, and then stared at Xu Shu with a little hostility.

Xu Shu and Fa Zheng are actually river water and do not interfere with well water, and their previous relationship was okay. But now that Xu Shu is doing this, the relationship between Fa Zheng and Xu Shu is stiff.

No matter what Liu Bei will do next, Fa Zheng has already hated Xu Shu to death.

Originally, Xu Shu didn't want to have a conflict with a ruthless and stingy ghost like Fazheng. But Fa Zheng's behavior this time really made Xu Shu unbearable.

Yizhou now has Yonghong's internal troubles, and there is the invasion of Gaoshun in Jingzhou outside, Liu Zhang is still missing at such a critical moment, and in such a situation of internal and external troubles, Fa Zheng actually went on to search for the murderer and retaliated against so many people, including many innocent people, resulting in I don't know how many people are disappointed in Liu Bei.

This is not a hidden danger, but poison Liu Bei.

Even if Xu Shu and Liu Bei beat Gao Shun back to Jingzhou in the future, suppressed Yonghong, and killed Kou Feng, they would not be able to recover the hearts and minds lost this time.

The human heart is easy to say, but once it is lost, it will be regained at a huge cost.

And the hearts of the people in Yizhou, more importantly, are the families.

Fa Zheng just killed people from big families. This makes the family think of Liu Bei.

If Fa Zheng is not punished harshly tonight, Xu Shu knows that the family in Yizhou will be disappointed in Liu Bei. Unless Liu Bei can be strong enough to destroy all the families, in this case, the family will not affect Liu Bei.

In Xu Shu's opinion, if all the families in Yizhou are destroyed, unless Liu Yu, the supreme emperor of the Shenwu Imperial Court, comes, he will have such domineering and strength. Liu Bei's words, Xu Shu felt that he was still far behind. Just don't even be dragged down by the big families in Yizhou.

Liu Bei needs the family now, and he can't lose the trust of the family because of this matter. Then Xu Shu, as a subordinate, should think more about Liu Bei.

What the other subordinates think, Xu Shu doesn't care. He also needs to prove his strength in Liu Bei's name, and he can't let Liu Bei's future development potential be harmed.

Not long after Xu Shu escorted Fa Zheng to the gate of the State Pastoral Mansion, Liu Bei came out in very simple pajamas, coughing once or twice from time to time.

Liu Bei deliberately came in such clothes, and pretended to be sick. Only in this way can we get rid of all responsibilities. made the soldiers think that the previous things were done by Fa Zheng alone, Liu Bei was sick, and his brain was a little confused.

"See the lord!" Xu Shu took the lead in saluting Liu Bei.

The same is true of Fazheng.

"Military advisor, filial piety, why are you all here together? Aren't you in Hanping City? When did you come back! Also, what are so many cavalry doing here? Liu Bei pretended to be confused and said.

Xu Shu said: "Lord! When I returned to Chengdu tonight, I had to hurry back because Fa Zheng had committed a heinous crime in Chengdu. I implore the Lord to do justice to the countless innocent people who have been harmed by the law. ”

Liu Bei coughed a few times and said a little weakly: "Innocent people? What's going on? After I learned that Ji Yu was assassinated, I felt a little unwell. ”

Fa Zheng secretly gave Liu Bei a thumbs up, and whatever words came to Liu Bei's mouth, he could act so similarly.

Xu Shu understood that Liu Bei was preparing to mess around, but he had to make Fa Zheng pay the price.

The lord was worried about Liu Jiyu and hurt his body. Liu Jiyu can also smile under Jiuquan. However, Fa Zheng took advantage of the fact that the lord was seriously ill and mutilated countless innocent people in the name of the lord. Now the heads are hung above the city gates. The lord is wise and martial, and he will definitely not spare the Fa Zheng. Xu Shu said his thoughts.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Xu Shu did not ask to kill Fazheng, but only to punish him severely. Liu Bei can still do such a request.

However, if it is not handled well, Fa Zheng's opinion will definitely be great. After all, Liu Bei is also an insider, and he threw all the responsibility on him, although it was good, Liu Bei always felt a little sorry for the Fazheng.

killed the property of those families, but it is still in Liu Bei's small treasury. With such a big benefit, Liu Bei had to save Fa Zheng's life no matter what, and Fa Zheng's ability was also the premise for Liu Bei to keep him.

"Filial piety is done to take you too much, but it is also through the state pastor. The Honshu pastor is unwell and unable to think too much, so he needs to take responsibility for a certain amount of responsibility. In this way, Yuanzhi, you investigate how many innocent people are among them, and after verifying it, you will be convicted. Liu Bei decided to come up with a procrastination.

Everyone has been killed, let Xu Shu investigate, Xu Shu has no place to check.

Xu Shu's face changed, what he wanted was not Liu Bei's attitude, but that Fa Zheng would be punished now, a just right punishment, and he didn't think that Liu Bei actually used a procrastination trick, which was not satisfactory to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "My lord, the righteous move of the law is clear to the whole of Chengdu. I thought I didn't need to investigate. Above the city gate, there are many heads of old and weak women and children, and they are all crying about the sins of Fazheng, which is the evidence of Fazheng's crimes! I implore the Lord to punish him heavily. ”

Xu Shu said in the end, and knelt down directly for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei never expected Xu Shu to come to such a set. Xu Shu had never used such a move, which made Liu Bei's reaction a little slow.

Fa Zheng was staring at Xu Shu, and he could also be clear about Xu Shu's behavior. It's nothing more than hoping to give an explanation to the Yizhou family. But Liu Bei didn't realize this.

"Xu Shu took great pains for Liu Bei, even if he offended me, he didn't hesitate to do it! Xu Shu is really a righteous person! Fa Zheng quietly gave a thumbs up to Xu Shu, who was begging Liu Bei to punish him severely.

Fa Zheng hated Xu Shu from just now, and this can't be changed, but it doesn't prevent Fa Zheng from appreciating Xu Shu's ability and loyalty to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's reaction speed was still okay, he quickly rushed to Xu Shu's side and helped Xu Shu up.

The two were so close that they could whisper a little.

"Yuan Zhi, filial piety is all with my consent, there is no need to do too much." Liu Bei whispered to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu also said in the lowest voice: "Lord, filial piety has gone too far. The family in Yizhou has been dissatisfied with the lord because of this matter. In addition, filial piety began to show signs of breaking away from the control of the lord. Just because he was a bad guy below, the lord was relieved at that time, accepted the heart of filial piety, and let filial piety be willing to die for the lord! ”

Xu Shu's speech speed was extremely fast, which did not prevent Liu Bei from hearing it clearly.

"It's worthy of Yuan Zhi, a strategy has such a big effect. Thanks to his dedication, if I continue to insist, won't I live up to his good intentions? Liu Bei said secretly in his heart.

"I know how to do it." Liu Bei said softly.

Xu Shu smiled.

The two reached a consensus in a very short time. The tacit understanding between Xu Shu and Liu Bei is really terrifying.

Liu Bei helped Xu Shu up and said loudly: "Military advisor, why do you have to do this!" It's really hard for me to do! ”

"My lord! In front of everyone's eyes, it is difficult to escape the blame for the crime of filial piety! Xu Shu looked angry and angry.

Ordinary people can't see that there is a consensus between Liu Bei and Xu Shu.

Only Fa Zheng felt that after the moment when Liu Bei and Xu Shu supported each other, Liu Bei and Xu Shu's faces seemed to have some slight changes.

A small change can let Fa Zheng know that Liu Bei and Xu Shu are ready to act.

"It seems that my life is safe! Let's see how Liu Bei and Xu Shu perform! Fa Zheng thought very easily.

Xu Shu used the moment that others couldn't notice to give a soldier a look.

The soldier hurriedly understood and quietly made a gesture to the other comrades.

Xu Shu had told these soldiers before that as long as he caught Fazheng, Liu Bei would definitely not be embarrassed by him, so he needed these soldiers to persuade Liu Bei together. There are many people and great strength, Liu Bei looks at the soldiers like this, and he will definitely punish the law.

Of course, the soldiers were willing to help Xu Shu, but they didn't know that they were part of Xu Shu's strategy and could give Liu Bei a step down.

"Please also ask the lord to seek justice for the innocent!" The soldiers half-knelt on the ground and said in unison.

Seeing so many soldiers half-kneeling on the ground, Liu Bei was a little surprised. But seeing Xu Shu's reassured eyes, Liu Bei understood that this was the step that Xu Shu had arranged for him.

Liu Bei sighed sadly, and then said, "Soldiers, I can understand your feelings. Hey, it's all my fault, but something went wrong at a critical moment. I am the pastor of Yizhou, and naturally work for the people of Yizhou. ”

After talking to the soldiers, Liu Bei said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, you have indeed gone too far. ”

Fa Zheng looked at Liu Bei calmly, thinking to himself that you Liu Bei should hurry up, don't waste time.

Liu Bei looked around and said loudly: "Someone! Drag the Fa Zheng to this official! Reward 50 sticks! ”

"Yes!" Several of Liu Bei's pro-soldiers immediately rushed out and dragged Fa Zheng down.

From beginning to end, except for greeting Liu Bei, Fa Zheng remained silent even if he was dragged down.

This appearance made Liu Bei faintly worried.

Fifty sticks can kill a man. Even if Liu Bei takes care of Fazheng, Fazheng can't get out of bed for at least a while.

"The lord is wise! Thank you for the grace of the innocent! Xu Shu said loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding soldiers also cheered loudly.

Such a loud voice was heard by the people around and the watchers.

Fa Zheng did receive fifty military sticks, but it was carried out by Liu Bei's own soldiers, and in the final analysis, I don't know how many were really beaten. But the view is positive, but it is not very good.

Liu Bei's personal soldiers dragged Fa Zheng over.

Seeing Fa Zheng's desolate appearance, the soldiers all thought that it was a real fight.

"Take him home and think about it behind closed doors!" Liu Bei waved his sleeves and turned around and walked directly into the State Pastoral Mansion.

Xu Shu followed Liu Bei's footsteps without any hesitation.

The soldiers also waited outside the gate for the time being.

Xu Shu and Liu Bei arrived at the study in the governor's mansion, and there were only the two of them.

"Yuan Zhi, what Xiaozhi did this time, will really have such a big impact?" Liu Bei asked.

Xu Shu said affirmatively: "Indeed! The family of Yizhou has always been restless. Although filial piety made most of the families dare not act rashly, it also left hidden dangers. Tonight, I think those families will feel more comfortable in their hearts. My lord, you will have to worry a lot about these families in the future. ”

Liu Bei nodded, he knew that Xu Shu was really good for him. At the same time, Liu Bei also remembered the important military affairs of Hanping City, so he said: "Yuan Zhi, how is Hanping City doing?" ”

"Don't worry, the lord has already made arrangements. Gao Shun and the others are not making much of a move at the moment. Hanping City is as stable as Mount Tai. In the next step, it is also necessary to return to Hanping City. The lord needs to visit Fa Xiaozhi tonight to collect his heart. Xu Shu said.

Liu Bei said with a wry smile: "I know. ”

Xu Shu and Liu Bei briefly exchanged about the recent situation, after all, Xu Shu rarely returned to Chengdu during this time.

It wasn't early, and Xu Shu said goodbye to Liu Bei.

As a military advisor, it is really not easy for Xu Shu to run around all day long.
