Chuzhou, the royal palace of Huai'an County.

Henan civil uprising, Wang Huailie did not make any effort, it can be said that a battle was not fought, but expanded the army to 10,000, and got many benefits, although he and Zhao Xun had some unpleasantness, but with Wang Huailie took the initiative to withdraw the army, Zhao Xun immediately showed very generosity, and gave Wang Huailie a title of King of Huai'an County, of course, this is just a glory and a false title, and the reward in kind was not given.

This can be regarded as a great joy for everyone, and each side gives each other a step down.

Wang Huailie this person is bold, generous, excellent face, the court gave him the title of county king, as far as his character is concerned, he must be extremely happy, according to the past habits, no matter what, he has to put on a feast, and everyone has fun, but, back for a few days, Wang Huailie has been staying at home, there is no movement at all, until today, someone secretly told Fan Zhongzhe that Wang Huaizhong has been sullen these days, a lot of temper, often beat and scold people, get the news, just returned from the field Fan Zhongzhe, hurriedly went to meet Wang Huailie.

Fan Zhongzhe is Wang Huailie's chief staff and confidant, and after arriving, he naturally does not need to wait, and directly enters the mansion.

As soon as he walked into the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Fan Zhongzhe heard a cry and a howl of his mother.

Fan Zhongzhe frowned slightly, and asked the housekeeper on the side, "What's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "The prince is in a bad mood these days, he has a short temper, and some subordinates are always innocently beaten and scolded. ”

Wang Huailie has a violent temper, but his housekeeper obviously has a good heart, if he continues like this, Wang Huailie's temper will only get bigger and bigger, and in the back, someone will definitely be beaten to death, knowing that Fan Zhongzhe has returned to Chuzhou, the housekeeper immediately sent someone to inform Fan Zhongzhe, and he didn't say anything, because the housekeeper also knew Fan Zhongzhe's character, and knew that as long as he came to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, he would definitely not sit idly by and ignore such a thing, and now at this time, I am afraid that only Fan Zhongzhe can appease Wang Huailie.

Wang Huailie ate his upper body, held a whip in his hand, and was beating two young male subordinates hard.

The two subordinates crawled on the ground, their backs were already dripping with blood, but they didn't dare to dodge anything, they could only howl loudly, hoping to get Wang Huailie's mercy and escape the catastrophe.

"Lord!"

After Fan Zhongzhe arrived, he immediately shouted loudly.

Wang Huailie turned around and saw that it was Fan Zhongzhe, and the movements in his hands immediately stopped.

Fan Zhongzhe strode forward, bowed his hand, and then said with an angry face: "Lord, the country has a law, if they are guilty, hand it over to the Yamen, you act like this, not only to tarnish your reputation, but also to break the law, is this a good thing?" ”

Wang Huailie rolled his eyes: "It's just a few subordinates, I can do whatever I want, don't be nosy." ”

Fan Zhongzhe said in a deep voice: "The lord is the lord of a state, and now he is the king of the county, how can he do whatever he wants?" ”

"You're so daring."

Wang Huailie glared at Fan Zhongzhe, who was not afraid at all, and also looked directly at Wang Huailie.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Wang Huailie finally snorted coldly, dropped the whip, and shook his hand to leave.

"Carry them down, so that they can be healed, give them more money, and don't let them resent their lord."

Fan Zhongzhe pointed to the two subordinates and commanded in a low voice.

"It's good to survive, they don't dare to resent the handsome."

The butler answered, and then had the two men carried down.

Fan Zhongzhe watched them leave, shook his head, and then went to find Wang Huailie.

When he arrived in the living room, Wang Huailie had already put on his shirt and sat there drinking tea sullenly.

Fan Zhongzhe walked into the living room, and when he came to Wang Huailie's approach, he arched his hand and said, "Why is the lord so depressed? ”

Wang Huailie glanced at Fan Zhongzhe: "Mr. Fan sat down and spoke." ”

Wang Huailie didn't really get angry with Fan Zhongzhe, his temper was also like this, he came and went quickly.

After Fan Zhongzhe sat down, he looked at Wang Huailie, who was a little inexplicable by him, touched his head, and said with some puzzlement: "Why does Mr. Fan look at me like this, what is there on my face?" ”

Fan Zhongzhe chuckled and said, "The lord has been in a bad mood these days, but it's because of Yang Daoan?" ”

"It's Mr. Fan who knows me best, Wang Huailie."

Wang Huailie sighed, and said with a depressed expression: "Yang Daoan just made a move, and my side is to withdraw the army immediately, I'm afraid that others will think that I am afraid of Yang Daoan, so that the world will laugh, how can I be happy?" ”

Hearing this, Fan Zhongzhe immediately burst out laughing.

"Fan Zhongzhe, even you dare to laugh and despise me?"

Wang Huailie stood up violently and pointed at Fan Zhongzhe with an angry face.

Fan Zhongzhe stopped laughing, got up and said, "Lord, he Yang Dao'an is far away in Shuzhou, what ability does he have to solve the matter of our Huainan?" What he said to the current emperor is just a hypocrisy, if the emperor really ordered Yang Daoan to raise troops to fight against the lord, he would lead the troops all the way to Huainan to fight with us? What Yang Daoan said was just a nice face, this truth, the emperor knew it very well in his heart, and others also saw it clearly, the lord actually took it seriously, and sulked because of it, do you say it's funny? ”

Wang Huailie touched his head, thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that what Fan Zhongzhe said was very reasonable, and he also thought clearly about the key to it, the strength of himself and Yang Daoan is not equal, if you really want to fight, who is afraid of whom? The most important thing is that Chuzhou and Shuzhou are far apart, and there is no conflict of interest between the two sides, Yang Daoan will not and cannot really lead troops to Huainan to fight, what he said to Zhao Xun is obviously polite, this truth, as long as you are not an idiot, I am afraid you can understand it.

"Her grandmother's, such a simple truth, I can't figure it out, I have been sulking for a few days in vain, and my brain is really in water."

Wang Huailie figured out the truth, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he smiled, sat down, and then pointed at Fan Zhongzhe and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

"Shanzhi, you said that we gained a lot this time, but I didn't feel it at all."

Wang Huailie said loudly.

Fan Zhongzhe chuckled and said, "Does the lord think that our trip to Henan this time has not gained much?" ”

Wang Huailie snorted coldly: "I Huainan Army tens of thousands of people are dispatched, no matter how many things are done, no matter how much they do, they also support him and save face, the little prince gave me an empty title of county king, and the other benefits are not given half a penny, and many brothers below returned empty-handed, but they are very dissatisfied, I feel that this time I have lost a lot, what do you want to gain?" ”
