The banquet ended, and Wang Ling was about to send the three adults away. When he walked to the door of the mansion, Yuan Mai suddenly said, "Mr. Tian and General Qu go back first. I will talk to Magistrate Wang about the local people's livelihood and public security."

"Young Master is honored to appreciate the glory!" Wang Ling was overjoyed. The young master of the Zhou Mu family was willing to talk to him alone, just to look down on him. If he could get his appreciation, he might have the chance to make a name for himself.

Tian Feng and Qu Yi guessed that Yuan Mai might be trying to win people's hearts so that they could compete with their three brothers in the future to seize power. It was inconvenient for outsiders to speak in front of them, so they nodded understandingly and left together. Only the Fan brothers and their personal soldiers were waiting outside the county magistrate's mansion.

Wang Ling led the way, led Yuan Mai into the study, and let Yuan Mai sit on a chair. He ordered his servants to serve tea and stood respectfully on the side, waiting for inquiries.

"Mr. Wang doesn't have to be restrained. Your governance talent makes Mai deeply admire you. He is a great talent and a county magistrate. If I am a pastor of a state, I will definitely be taught by the prefect!" Yuan Mai picked up the teacup and took a sip, signaled Wang Ling to sit down next to him, and then opened the conversation with a complimentary words.

Although Wang Ling knew that Yuan Mai was saying polite words, he still felt very helpful and said modestly: "Young Master praised me. How could Ling Hede dare to praise me like this? It is a blessing for three lives to be the dictator of a county."

After a few casual conversations, Yuan Mai went straight to the topic: "The world rumored that Wang Situ Xian's beautiful girl Diao Chan was apart from the relationship between Dong Zhe and Lu Bu and his son, and eventually led to the father and son turning against each other. Lu Bu stabbed Dong Zhuo to death? This matter is serious? The beautiful girl Diao Chan really has a beautiful country and beauty?"

After hearing Yuan Mai's words, Wang Ling sneered and stroked the sparse beard under his jaw and said, "This matter is absolutely true. Diao Chan and I are from Bingzhou. Her ancestral home is Hedong, and my ancestral home is from Qi County, Taiyuan, so I met in Situ's Mansion."

Yuan Mai knew why Wang Ling laughed. It was probably Wang Ling who thought he was coveting Diao Chan's beauty, so he had this problem. However, the conscience of heaven and earth, the reason why he asked such a question was to understand the mystery in his heart and determine whether there was such a strange woman in history. If so, who was her surname? How did she look? She asked this question completely with admiration, without any indecent thoughts.

However, heroes are sad to pass the beauty. This is an era where the strong prey on the weak. The winner not only seizes people's land, but also abducting wives and daughters. Just like Cao Cao, a standard wife control, not many people stand up to say anything. Success, king, defeat, bandits, the main theme of this era! There is no need to explain too much.

Wang Ling continued: "Everyone calls her Diao Chan, but few people know that her original surname is Wushu, with the small name Hongchang. All the princes in the world call themselves heroes and are helpless about Dong Thief's brutality. They all rely on her female displaced Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's relationship, and Lu Bu was only allowed to assassinate Dong Thief."

"I wonder how old this young lady is this year?" Yuan Mai said curiously.

Wang Ling thought for a moment and then replied: "When he was separated from Dong Lu, she was sixteen years old. In the blink of an eye, five or six years have passed, and I think it's over twenty."

"What kind of character is this Lu Bu? It turns out like the folk rumors, is Lu Bu among people and Red Rabbit among horses?" Yuan Mai turned the topic back from Diao Chan and started discussing Lu Bu.

Wang Ling closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling Lu Bu's spirit, and said for a long time: "Yes, Lu Bu is indeed a hero of a generation and extraordinary hero. He is burly, brave and brave, and has the courage of thousands of men. Unfortunately, he is brave but has no strategy. He is a martial artist, otherwise he would not have been defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si!"

Yuan Mai no longer needs to listen to Wang Ling's explanation of what kind of person Lu Bu is. He has long been familiar with his story. What is the battle with three Yings at Hulao Pass, assassinating Dong Zhuo, shooting halberds at the gate, and the death of Baimen Tower. When the story comes out, it looks like a TV picture is extremely clear in my mind. Perhaps Wang Ling may not be as good as he knows Lu Bu.

"There is a man named Zhang Liao under Lu Bu. I wonder if County Magistrate Wang knows a little about it?" Yuan Mai shifted the topic to Zhang Liao, which was the focus of the conversation with Wang Ling.

"Is Mr. Mai Zhang Wenyuan?" Wang Ling stroked his sparse beard and asked,

"Yes, it's Zhang Wenyuan. I heard that his ancestral home is a local person in Mayi? I wonder if the magistrate Wang and him are familiar with him?" Yuan Mai was overjoyed. Since Wang Ling and Zhang Liao knew each other, he would definitely be able to find out some news from him.

The reason why Yuan Mai was worried about Zhang Liao was that he wanted to use the method of dealing with Zhao Yun, and first used Zhang Liao's family to find a breakthrough to see if he could lead Zhang Liao under his command. Although the possibility was slim, Yuan Mai still wanted to give it a try.

"Hehe, when the lower official was in Situ's Mansion, he had met Zhang Wenyuan several times. Because they were both fellow Bingzhou villagers, they knew each other, but they were not familiar with each other." Wang Ling replied with a smile.

Only then did Yuan Mai remembered that he had drunk Wang Ling and had been talking for half a night. He had not asked him what the word "大" was. If you want to get close to him, it would be more appropriate to use the word "大" and he hurriedly stood up and apologized: "It's really abrupt. Have you not asked Wang County Magistrate's "大" yet?"

"There is a hard work for the young master, and the name is Yanyun." Wang Ling was also very happy about Yuan Mai's inquiry and replied with a smile.

"It turns out it's Wang Yanyun, I'm so respectful!" Yuan Mai apologized again with a smile, signaling Wang Ling to sit down opposite him, and after a few chats, he asked, "Is this Zhang Wenyuan still in this county?"

Wang Ling was stunned at first, thinking to him what he was asking about this? Could it be that he wanted to coerce Zhang Liao's family to surrender? Zhang Liao is a very loyal person, and I am afraid that this matter will be difficult! Moreover, you only have more than 10,000 troops in your hands and don't have an inch of territory. I am afraid that Zhang Liao will not give up Lu Bu and join you. But it is not easy to say it in person, and replied casually: "Zhang Wenyuan does have family members in this county, and I don't know what the young master plans?"

Yuan Mai thought that there was not a single word of the eight characters at present. If he showed the intention of coercing Zhang Liao to vote through Zhang Liao's family, it would be fine if he succeeded. If he didn't succeed, he would be ridiculed. He had a sudden inspiration and lie: "When I came, a friend and Zhang Wenyuan were playmates when he was young, but later they were separated by war and could not meet. I heard that I was passing through Yanmen in Dai County this time, so I asked me to find out where Zhang Wenyuan's family was and give me some gifts to express my longing."

Although Wang Ling didn't know what Yuan Buy was, he was not easy to hide as a subordinate. So, according to facts, "Zhang Wenyuan had a brother in Mayi, a brother, but he had moved out of the county town for many years. He now lives in Baima Pavilion, west of the county town, about fifty miles away from the county town. The Zhang family is a large family. You can ask about it after you go to the pavilion."

Since he had asked about Zhang Liao's whereabouts, Yuan Mai stopped stopping. He talked casually for a few words, said it was not too early, got up and said goodbye, took the guards back to the military camp, preparing to visit Zhang Liao's family at Baimating tomorrow.
