The news from the scouts is very simple, there are Hu people making trouble in Zhuolu!

Zhuolu has just embarked on the road to prosperity, and must not let things get bigger.

Let Wu Yongyanqing stay in the Jixian office, and Liu Mang took the Hua sisters and brothers and others to immediately rush back to Zhuolu.

Back in Zhuolu, I hadn't seen Fan Zhongyan, who was acting for government affairs, and Shi Qian, who had rushed to greet him, had already rushed to say the lines.

A few days ago, seven or eight Hu people rushed to the barracks to make trouble, saying that the officers and soldiers had robbed their horses.

"What about the men?"

"I've all been arrested and locked up!" Shi Qian shook the rat's whiskers proudly, "That leading guy is very fierce and arrogant!" If I hadn't waited for you to come back, I would have whipped him hard a long time ago! Shi Qian spoke as if the fierce guy had been subdued by him.

"How can our men steal their horses?"

This thing will never be done by Fu Youde, as for Cheng Yanjin, I can't say for sure.

Shi Qian talked about how he was witty, decisive and brave to catch the troublemaker, but Liu Mang didn't have the heart to listen.

Zhuoluhu City has just improved, and we must not let unexpected circumstances ruin the good situation. If it is not handled properly, it will inevitably affect the trade of Hu City, especially the enthusiasm of Hu merchants to trade in Zhuolu.

Let's get to know the situation first.

Let Shi Qian hurry up and take a look on the street to prevent further accidents, and at the same time understand the reaction of the people, especially Hu Shang, to this incident.

The matter has already happened, and we can only find a way to minimize the impact.

found Fan Zhongyan, and Fan Zhongyan's reaction was similar to what Shi Qian said.

What Liu Mang was worried about was exactly what Fan Zhongyan was afraid of, and he had already ordered to treat those Hu people well. At the same time, Fan Zhongyan had already asked Fu Youde, who escorted Hu Shang back, to understand the situation, and there was no robbery of Hu people's horses.

"Where's Lao Cheng?"

"Lao Cheng is waiting to escort Hu Shang at the Guangning Health Center, and the situation on his side is not clear."

Liu Mang was most afraid that Cheng would bite Jin on a whim, and when he saw Ma Qi's intentions, he would cause trouble.

Hurriedly ordered the fast horse to gallop to Guangning, and ordered Cheng Yanjin to escort Hu Shang back as soon as possible.

Liu Mang took Fan Zhongyan and asked the detained troublemakers.

Those who lead the troublemakers are held in solitary confinement.

"You're the lead?"

Listening to Liu Mang's questioning, the man jumped up, spoke in blunt official language, and shouted loudly: "I don't talk to the little doll, I want to talk to the big official." ”

"I'm a big official."

The man looked at the thin Liu Mang and refused to believe it.

Listening to Fan Zhongyan explain, Liu Mang is indeed the official he is looking for, and if there is anything, he can solve it by telling him. The man was skeptical.

"You Han people are not good, you stole my horse, give it back to me!"

"You see, it was my men who stole your horse?"

On the way, Liu Mang made up his mind.

Even if Lao Cheng really poked the basket, he must not admit it easily, otherwise it will give the impression of robbery by officers and soldiers, and the Hu City, which has just flourished in Zhuolu, will be over.

It's not a rogue, it's about taking care of the bigger picture.

The overall situation is the prosperity of Zhuoluhu City, and Liu Mang is even ready to spend money to calm people.

"You Han people robbed it!"

As soon as the man said this, Liu Mang had some spectrum in his heart.

It seems that this man is not sure that his subordinates did it. In this way, things have to be discussed.

"There's something wrong with what you're saying. Maybe someone Han stole your horse, but how can you be sure that my subordinates did it? This is the junction of Hu and Han, and there are often Hu people who scatter wild and hurt people, if these evil things are counted on your head, are you willing? ”

"The soldiers and horses escorted on this road are all yours, not you robbed them, who else can there be?" Although the man was still arguing, Liu Mang's words were reasonable, and the man couldn't deny it, and his momentum was much weaker.

Liu Mang took the initiative. "Come on, open the cell, I'll have a good chat with this brother."

Liu Mang's purpose is not to solve the matter of grabbing horses, but for the development of Zhuoluhu City.

The men opened the cell and lit torches.

Under the firelight, you can see clearly, this man looks so powerful!

Although he is not very tall, his shoulders are broad and thick, and he has a square face, slightly flattened, typical of Donghu people.

His beard was curly and thick, and at first glance it seemed to be fierce, but if you look closely, this strong man's eyes are slender and slightly bent downward, which is not at all the kind of fierce and vicious appearance described by Shi Qian.

"Come, tell me what's going on."

The man said that he and his companions had brought a dozen horses to trade in Zhuolu, and that between Quang Ninh and Zhuolu, they encountered a large group of men dressed as officers and soldiers, stole horses, and wounded several brothers.

They were lucky enough to escape to Zhuolu, and they couldn't swallow this breath, so they came to the station theory.

After listening to this, Liu Mang and Fan Zhongyan looked at each other. Judging from the time that this man said, it shouldn't be Lao Cheng's doing. At that time, Lao Cheng should have just escorted a team of Hu Shang back, and he should still be in Zhuolu.

Liu Mang has some bottom in his heart.

As long as it's not your own subordinates, things will be easier to solve.

It's just that no matter how you explain it now, this man may not believe it. Only by figuring out which team stole the horses can this misunderstanding be completely dispelled.

Liu Mang immediately said that they could be released immediately, provided that they were not allowed to make trouble in Zhuolu, and before the matter was clarified, they were not allowed to say that it was the robbery of Zhuolu officers and soldiers.

As for the whereabouts of the horses, Liu Mang promised to arrange for someone to investigate immediately.

Hu Ren was straightforward, Liu Mang was reasonable, and the man nodded and agreed.

"I haven't asked for this brother's name yet."

"My Han name is Man Gui."

In this paragraph, Liu Mang has come into contact with many Hu people. The names of the Hu people are difficult to read and understand, and for convenience, most of the Hu people who come to Han to do trade will have a Chinese name.

Man Gui is a very ordinary Hu Han name, which did not attract Liu Mang's attention.

"I've been locked up for a few days, I've wronged my brothers, I'll invite you to eat and drink!"

Hu Ren is a good drinker, and when he heard that this young official was going to invite him to drink, his good impression of Liu Mang increased a little.

Liu Mang doesn't like to drink. The purpose of the invitation is to eliminate the impact of arrests.

Liu Mang deliberately took Man Gui and a few other Hu people to the wine shop in the market, there were many Hu people in the market, Liu Mang was to create a harmonious atmosphere between Han and Hu.

The Hu people were much more open-minded than the Han people. A lot of things, when I talk about it, don't take it to heart.

Although he had just been robbed of his horse and kept in prison for a few days. But for the Hu people, as long as their lives are still there and the pasture is still there, other things can be put down.

Especially Liu Mang, a young official, speaks plainly and straightforwardly, and makes sense, and everyone loves to listen.

Hu people love to drink, and a big bowl of spirits can make them forget their previous unhappiness.

Wine is a good medium for connecting feelings.

After drinking a few bowls of wine, Liu Mang gradually fell in love with these straightforward Hu people, and he had the intention of soliciting. Liu Mang took a fancy to their riding skills. In the future, when conquest of the world, it is indispensable to form a large-scale cavalry, and Man Gui and others are very useful!
