Chapter 54 Zhao Fan is looking for a lottery
When Lu Chou heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sudden heart, but he looked calm and said that the person who spoke was nothing but Zhao Fan who had been silent just now.
When Lu Kang saw Zhao Fan talking, he smiled unaware of it, and then quickly covered it.
Because Lu Kang knew that Zhao Fan was a person. Although Zhao Fan had good abilities, Zhao Fan had a significant shortcoming and would revenge him.
It is precisely because of this that when Lu Chou finished speaking, Zhao Fan said that he could not do it without hesitation.
However, as a young person, it is normal to have some shortcomings, just polish it.
Moreover, Zhao Fan's ability is indeed good.
What's more, Lu Kang originally wanted to take the exam for Lu Chou, but now he saw someone who was singing a diagonal show with Lu Chou, so Lu Kang was naturally happy to hear about it.
Therefore, Lu Kang simply remained silent, pretended to be contemplative, and watched from the wall.
Seeing that Lu Kang didn't say anything, Lu Chou said, "I don't know what Brother Zhao thinks is wrong?"
Zhao Fan said, "Although these refugees are pitiful, they are actually unruly people. If you are not careful, you will gather people to rebel. It would be fine if you separate. If you gather together, there will be endless troubles."
Lu Chou shook his head and said, "Although what Brother Zhao said is reasonable, it is a generalization. According to my opinion, how many bandits in the world are forced to go up the mountain to become bandits because they are unable to eat?"
Afterwards, Lu Chou paused and continued, "If there were a stable life, there were a few who were willing to lick blood on the tip of the knife. Moreover, although there were many refugees in this group, there were only more than a hundred people. With Guiyang's troops, would he be afraid that they would not rebel?"
Zhao Fan shook his head and said, "My dear brother, although Guiyang County is not small and has a lot of troops, it is very few to station in various counties. If this group of unlucky people fall into a bandit outside the city, there will be endless troubles, and it will be difficult to destroy it."
Speaking of this, Zhao Fan looked at Lu Chou provocatively and said, "From my view, if this group of unruly people really become bandits, if the government is unable to clear it, it will ruin the prestige of the government. If the government clears it, it will be more willing but not enough. Instead of leaving this hidden danger, it is better to prevent it before it happens."
Then, Zhao Fan bowed and said to Lu Kang: "Sir, Mr. Lu Chou is well-read in poetry and books, so he must know that a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. Please make a clear decision."
When Lu Kang saw Zhao Fan talking to him, he ignored Zhao Fan, but looked at Lu Chou and said, "I think what Zhao Fan said makes sense. What do you think?"
One sentence expressed his position. Of course, Lu Kang did not say anything, as if he was telling Lu Chou that as long as you could convince Zhao Fan, I would still listen to you.
Lu Chou thought for a while and said, "Brother Zhao, I think your words are still a bit one-sided. Although there is a gentleman who does not stand under the dangerous wall, if this group of refugees is well managed, it will definitely be a helping force. Since you say that the city has shortage of troops, why not transfer this group of refugees to soldiers?"
Zhao Fan shook his head and said, "The military discipline is very strict, so why can this group of refugees get in just by saying that they can get in?"
Finally, Zhao Fan still put pressure on Lu Kang: "Please make a decision."
When Lu Chou saw that Zhao Fan was like a dog-skin plaster, he was quite helpless.
At this time, Zhu Huan said loudly: "Mr. Lu Kang, I have a question, don't you know if Brother Zhao can solve my doubts?"
When Zhao Fan heard Zhu Huan's question, he couldn't help but frown. Originally, Zhao Fan only wanted to suppress Lu Chou, but he didn't expect that there were still people who didn't wink and wanted to get into a thrust.
However, after all, Zhu Huan is also a guest of Lu Kang. Zhao Fan dares not give Zhu Huan face, but he must give Lu Kang enough face.
When Zhao Fan heard Zhu Huan’s question, he bowed and said, “Please give me advice.”
Zhu Huan straightened his clothes and said, "Have you ever seen that group of refugees?"
Zhao Fan didn't know why Zhu Huan asked such a question, but after all, he had just entered the city and Zhao Fan was the chief clerk in charge of handling affairs in the mansion, so naturally he could not have seen these refugees.
So, Zhao Fan replied frankly: "Never."
Zhu Huan's face suddenly became cold and he said, "Since Brother Zhao has never seen that group of refugees, now one unlucky man on the left and another unlucky man is talking, doesn't it seem that Brother Zhao has no ambition at all?"
After hearing this, Zhao Fan's face suddenly changed.
Zhu Huan's words are so heart-wrenching that every word is tolerant, and a sentence that is inconsistent will determine that Zhao Fan will definitely not be able to reach the high position in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Fan cannot let this reputation drag down himself.
Zhao Fan bowed and said, "Since he is not a troublemaker, how could he leave his hometown and escape here?"
Zhu Huan snorted coldly and said, "Brother Zhao has lived in the temple for a long time. He doesn't understand the sufferings of the people at all."
With one sentence, Zhao Fan's young face turned red.
Zhu Huan did not care about Zhao Fan's embarrassment, but continued: "Now today, since Emperor Huan of Han sold official positions, most of the mediocre people have been in high positions. All the officials were thinking about how to collect property from the people, and how could they have the mood to control the lives and deaths of the people?"
Then, Zhu Huan continued, "So, a group of people were forced to enter the mountain and follow the thief, and another group became the unruly people that Brother Zhao said now."
Zhu Huan glanced at Zhao Fan and saw that Zhao Fan's face had turned from red to white.
However, Zhu Huan did not stop here, but continued: "These refugees only want to have a place to settle down. Brother Zhao not only did not accept them, but instead regarded them as aliens. If the people of the whole world knew about it, they really didn't know what they would think of Brother Zhao."
Zhao Fan's face had turned pale at this moment, and he said weakly: "Master Prefect, Fan You are not considering this matter. Please make a decision."
In fact, Zhao Fan just didn't want Lu Chou to be satisfied, but he didn't expect that Zhu Huan would be brought out.
Moreover, if Zhao Fan was following what Zhu Huan said, then he would be a big deal in the world.
When Lu Kang saw Zhu Huan come out and argued with Zhao Fan in a few words, he couldn't help but look up to Zhu Huan.
However, before Lu Kang could speak, Lu Chou interrupted and said, "Master Prefect, in fact, what Zhao Zhubu said is unreasonable."
Lu Kang looked at Lu Chou curiously. Lu Chou was still arguing just now. Now, for some reason, he turned 180 degrees and stood on Zhao Fan's side.
Lu Kang said with interest: "Chou'er, what do you think?"
Lu Chou said: "Just as Brother Zhao said, if no one suppresses this group of refugees, they may really rebel, so we should prevent problems before they happen."
When Lu Kang heard Lu Chou's words, he thought of what Lu Chou wanted to do, but Lu Kang said curiously: "Then tell me, what should I do?"
Lu Chou bowed and said, "Sir, I want to recommend one person, which is enough to suppress this group of refugees."
Lu Kang smiled and said, "What? Could it be that my nephew thought that there was no one in Guiyang, and even no one could suppress a group of refugees?"
Although what Lu Kang said seemed to be blame, he was actually joking about Lu Chou to see how Lu Chou would deal with it.
After all, as the prefect of a county, Lu Kang had to give an explanation to his subordinates, and at the same time, he had to deliberately suppress Lu Chou to appease Zhao Fan's heart.
Sure enough, when Zhao Fan heard Lu Kang's words, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Lu Chou said: "Uncle Lu Kang should not think so. If you suppress this group of bandits, not to mention others, it would be enough to be a county magistrate of Guiyang County, let alone a county magistrate Zhang and Zhao Zhuan."
Then, Lu Chou said again: "But Chou is a little worried. Both the county magistrate and the county magistrate have more important things to do. If they are asked to suppress this group of bandits, they may be unable to do it."
Lu Kang nodded and said, "There should be something else?"
Lu Chou nodded with a smile and said, "It's true that we can't hide it from my uncle. This time we came to Guiyang, and Chou was lucky enough to subdue a powerful general, which is probably no less than that of Zhang Juncheng. He was the one who took care of these refugees all the way, so my nephew wanted to recommend him to suppress these refugees."
After hearing Lu Chou's words, Zhang Wu's face was a little overwhelmed.
After all, since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Since Lu Chou said that some people are not inferior to him, how can this convince Zhang Wu?
Without waiting for Lu Kang to speak, Zhang Wu said, "Sir, since Lu Chou said that some martial arts skills are not inferior to me, then let him compete with me. If he wins, then I, the county magistrate, give up on him. If he loses, please choose another wise man."
After hearing Zhang Wu's words, Lu Kang looked at Lu Chou with a smile and asked, "What do you think of a nephew?"
Lu Chou shook his head and said, "Sir, this person has no hope for him to come out of Guiyang, and he is not familiar with the situation. It is okay to let him lead the refugees, but it will never work if he is the county magistrate. However, since Brother Zhang Wu intends to discuss it, then wait for Chou to call him here in the future."
Lu Kang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's talk about this matter today. Today is a day to welcome people. I will no longer talk about official business. If anyone mentioned it, I will punish myself for three drinks of wine."
After hearing Lu Kang's words, everyone stopped talking about official business, but started chatting again.
However, after the argument just now, Zhao Fan felt that he had no face to stay any longer, so he dragged his body to feel uncomfortable and left the banquet early.
