"Then brother, you have a good rest first, and the matter of finding out the news will be left to us."

Fu Wei took Fu Jian and Luo Xian out of the room, and then came to another room to discuss.

Fu Wei sat down and asked the two, "You two boys are resourceful, how are you going to find out the news?" ”

Fu Jian looked at Luo Xian and said, "The teahouse tavern is the place where the three sects and the nine streams gather, and there, you should be able to find out useful news. ”

"Hmm!" Fu Wei nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, yes, then I will send people to various teahouses and taverns to collect intelligence and information separately." ”

Luo Xian on the side put forward a different idea: "Although the teahouse tavern can find out the news, the news is not accurate, many of them are hearsay, or things that everyone knows, and they can't find out important news."

For example, Gongsun Yuan's personality, preferences, people he relies on, and confidants, these want to find out in that kind of place, but I am afraid that it is not easy, and even if I find it, I am afraid that it is not accurate. ”

Fu Wei looked at Luo Xian and asked, "Then how do you say you should investigate?" ”

Luo Xian muttered: "If you want to find out Gongsun Yuan's personality preferences, you naturally have to ask the people around Gongsun Yuan, you can first investigate who is the most greedy for money among the officials in Liaodong, and then buy this person with a lot of money, so that you can get useful information." ”

"Bribing officials?" Fu Wei was worried when he heard this: "Isn't this a bit risky, outsiders may not be reliable, let alone corrupt officials, if the matter is leaked, it will be over." ”

Luo Xian smiled and said: "Let's still go to the corrupt official as Hu Shang and tell him that he has something to ask Gongsun Yuan, but I don't know Gongsun Yuan's personality preferences, so I begged him." If it is done, there will be another retribution, and I will not think much about the corrupt officials' desire for profit. ”

"Well, that way you don't have to worry about things leaking." Fu Wei nodded, and said to Fu Jian, Luo Xian: "Jian'er, you will arrange for people to go to the teahouse tavern to find out the news, and also find out what corrupt officials are in Liaodong."

Luo Xian, you are ready to prepare, think about how to meet the corrupt officials and get information when the time comes. ”

"Yes!"

The next day, Fu Jian sent out his manpower to various teahouses to inquire about the news.

In the evening, the crowd returned, gathered in a room, and gathered the news together.

Everyone wrote the news on a piece of paper, Fu Wei looked at the content on the paper and read it out: "The Gongsun family of Liaodong has gone through three generations and four people.

The first person was Gongsun Du, who was cruel and unruly, and the people complained about him.

The second is Gongsun Kang, the son of Gongsun Du, who is eloquent and strategic, although he is far from convinced. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, he called himself the Marquis of Liaodong and the pastor of Pingzhou, and dressed as the Son of Heaven. However, he also conquered Goguryi in the east, invaded Wuhuan in the west, and shocked overseas, and governed the people with leniency, and was quite loved by the people.

This third person is Gongsun Gong, the younger brother of Gongsun Kang, who has inherited his father's business since ancient times, but after Gongsun Kang's death, his son was young, and his younger brother Gongsun Gong was in charge of Liaodong.

Although this Gongsun Gong is not as talented as Gongsun Kangxiong, and even has a weak personality, he treats the people well and has a great reputation among the people.

It's a pity that this Gongsun Gong suffered from illness and became a eunuch, and his body was too weak to be a director, so Gongsun Yuan took Gongsun Gong's position when he became an adult and put Gongsun Gong under house arrest.

This fourth person is the current Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Yuan, this person is also cruel and unkind, even more so his grandfather Gongsun Du! ”

Luo Xian listened and said: "These are all major events in Liaodong, and it is easy to find out, but is there any information about Gongsun Yuan's personality preferences?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Wei continued to look at it: "Gongsun Yuan is a good man, and he once selected handsome men among the people for fun......

According to legend, Gongsun Yuan once ......"

After reading a few articles, Fu Wei's face darkened: "What kind of things are these, one sentence from the east to the west, and nothing useful at all." ”

One soldier replied, "That's what those people said, and the subordinates are just responsible for writing down what they hear." ”

Fu Jian looked at Luo Xian and said: "It seems that Brother Luo is right, the news that the restaurant teahouse heard is either well-known to everyone or groundless, if you want to find out Gongsun Yuan's personality preferences, you have to ask the people around him." ”

Hearing this, Fu Wei looked at the soldiers and asked, "What about the officials who are greedy for money?" Have you heard? ”

"Yes!" A soldier stood up and said: "Don't drive Zhao Luo in Liaodong to be greedy for money, the people say so." ”

Fu Wei shook his head and said: "Zhao Miao is greedy for money, and the people are all about it, but Gongsun Yuan asked him to do something else, it seems that this Gongsun Yuan is not a master." Luo Xian, do you want to go to this Zhao Ming? I think this person's official position is too high, and it is a little unsafe, do you want to pick another one? ”

"That's it!" Luo Xian shook his head and said: "Since the people know that he is greedy for money, it means that he is really greedy, unscrupulous greed, similar to Yang Song in the previous Hanzhong." ”

Yang Song, who was a strategist under Zhang Lu in Hanzhong back then, was extremely greedy for money, and Liu Bei bought Ma Chao to get Hanzhong.

When Fu Wei heard this, he said: "In this case, you will accompany me to see that Zhao Meng tomorrow!" ”

Early the next morning, Fu Wei took Luo Xian to Zhao Miao's mansion.

Zhao Miao was greedy for money, and the subordinates in his house were no better, Fu Wei spent some money and asked his subordinates to inform Zhao Miao and got the opportunity to meet him.

Zhao Meng is in his forties, less than seven feet tall, but he has more than 200 pounds, and he can't even see his neck when he is wearing clothes, he looks like a big winter melon, but although this person looks funny, he is quite shrewd, otherwise it is impossible to gather a lot of money.

Zhao Meng sat on the seat, looked at Fu Wei below and asked, "I heard that you are looking for me, what is the matter?" I'm very busy. ”

"I know that adults have a lot of opportunities every day, so I prepared something to honor my lord."

Fu Wei said, clapped his palms, and the two soldiers walked up with a box, and when they opened the box, it contained rare gold and silver treasures.

Looking at the gold and silver treasures in the box, Zhao Miao's eyes suddenly lit up, Liaodong is a bitter cold place, although he has accumulated money, but they are all ordinary treasures, and Fu Wei brought rare treasures, Zhao Mi has never seen many of them.

These treasures made Zhao Miao's eyes dazzled, and he couldn't wait to find a place where no one was there to enjoy them immediately.

Zhao Meng retracted his gaze, looked at Fu Wei and asked, "You kid is quite good, anyway, what do you want me to do?" ”

Fu Wei arched his hand and said: "My lord, I came from Xianbei in Xia, and I have a big business that I want to discuss with Gongsun Taishou, but I can't speak in Xia, and I don't understand Gongsun Taishou's temper and preferences, so I am worried that I will anger Taishou if I am not careful."

I know that the adult is the confidant of the Taishou, and he must understand the Taishou, so I want to ask the adults for advice. ”
