26. The rat misguided the country
Yin Luzhen of Hongyong Mansion stretched out his hand and wiped the fine beard at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "How can I talk about it, and how can I talk if I don't go?"
Tuoba Yan saw that this Lu Shuo rat was really a villain who was extremely greedy for ink as the intelligence said, and no matter how the Southern Dynasty people tortured him these days, he couldn't stop committing suicide because of this Lu Shuo rat who received the letter, at this time, his heart was settled, and he said sonorously word by word: "If you go, you are a wolf master, if you don't go, you are still a five-grade yarn hat." β
Mansion Yin Lu Zhen laughed and said: "Huangkou Xiao'er, now that even you are in prison, dare to promise this mansion again?"
Tuoba Yan laughed loudly when he heard this: " There is more than one Tuoba Rock in the world, and there is more than one Tuoba family in the north, Lu Shuo Mouse is so clever and will not understand it, there are thousands of people from my clan outside the city, and within two months, there will be 30,000 pioneer tiger Ben riding over the mountain, and then there will be three months 150,000 Tiger Ben army will be able to descend into your Hongyong Mansion, and now most of the cities in Xiongzhou are empty, Hongyong has you Lu Zhenke deducted the people's fat, Hongyong Mansion is wide enough to hide 300,000 soldiers, if you hide soldiers in Hongyong for a year, secretly prepare 300,000 Beibei soldiers, 100,000 people can cooperate with the army outside the Guanwai to bite the Qin Guan army, and the remaining elite can drive the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty for a long time, and then the world will be my northγ
In less than two years, you will be the wolf lord of this Annan Town, the second-rank member of our dynasty, the Marquis of Annan appointed by the Son of Heaven, which of the princes of one party and these five-grade official hats will come from comfort? β
Tuoba Yan saw Lu Zhen's heart swaying, and said in a strange manner: "Of course, the Emperor can also report this news to your Qianyuan Imperial Court, I think the Son of Heaven of Qianyuan will definitely reward Your Excellency, maybe within ten years there will be a chance to be promoted to a Taishou, in charge of a small city, which can be called extremely glorious." β
Tuoba Yan said again: "However, the Governor of Lu still needs to be careful these days, which two stunned young men escorted me into the city that day, but the whole city is known, and now, I don't know if my people know that I am here, the guards of your mansion Yin Yamen are too lax, and there is no one who even found it when the letter was delivered that day, which is really careless." β
Lu Zhen's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he said with a sneer: "It's really true that this mansion is a weak scholar, and a yellow-mouthed child dares to threaten this mansion like this." β
Tuoba Yan shook his head and said: "Lord Fu Yin is afraid that he has misunderstood, now Your Excellency is a swordman, I am a fish on the anvil, how dare I threaten the adult, just to point out a clear path for the adult." β
"Ignorant child, I want to see how your clever tongue escapes a life. β
Tuoba Yan couldn't help but chuckle and asked: "Governor Lu, how many prefectures and counties are there in this Xiongzhou City? How many cities can hide hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Why did I choose Your Excellency, the Hongyong Mansion Yin? Among the tens of millions of people in Xiongzhou, how many people from the north are wearing the costumes of the Southern Dynasties?"
It is precisely because you are greedy that I attach so much importance to you, and it is precisely because you know the current affairs and know the priorities that you will see that letter, and you have suppressed the people who have complained all these years, don't you know that the Qianyuan Imperial Court? He is just waiting for you to fatten up more, and the Qianyuan Dynasty can let you be greedy for ink and ruthless, and he will let you be treasonous?
Even if you crush me to death in this cold prison, your evil account and the news of your communication with our clan will not appear in the county guard yamen, maybe tomorrow the people of Hongyong will know that you have communicated to the north and treason to the enemy, yes, you can destroy the secret letter and shirk it completely, but your conduct over the years Will the Qianyuan Imperial Court believe that you are so clean, there is no wind and no waves, do you want to gamble on whether the Qianyuan Imperial Court will eradicate a stolen official with the intention of killing the wrong person rather than letting go?
Treason and defection to the enemy is a major crime to destroy the nine clans, which is more important, I think Governor Lu knows it, right?"
The more Lu Zhen listened, the deeper his face became, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't imagine that your imperial court is so attentive to me, a border official. β
"It's not because Governor Lu has something special, if I am a clean official, I will not be able to start, since the moment you are greedy for money, you have no way back, and I have to thank those two stunned boys, if he hadn't captured me twice, when would I be able to talk to adults so clearly?"
The prefect Lu Zhen was about to crush his silver teeth, and said gloomily: "The Beipi Imperial Court has such a hard wrist, pressing step by step, I don't dare to break the net if I eat it." β
The gentleman is in righteousness, the villain is in profit, Tuoba Yan saw that the back road of this jackal villain was almost intercepted, and began to sprinkle the bait wrapped in honey, Zhengse said: "Learn literature and martial arts, sell the emperor's family, Qianyuan does not reuse you and you gave you a five-grade official hat, I regard you as a treasure and want to support you to be a prince, isn't this exactly what you want?"
I want to unify the world, you want to be monstrous and rich, why not? Over the years, the adults have scraped all the oil and water but get more than 10,000 taels of silver, if the adults know the current affairs, I am willing to present 20,000 taels of silver and a wolf lord treasure seal. β
Yin Luzhen, who is known as a rat, has a complicated look in his eyes, and he is silent.
After a long time, Lu Shuo Rat agreed: "Okay, I will personally send you, if there is really a feasible way to divide the mountain, I will definitely do my best to serve the Beibi Imperial Court after the death, if there is no way, that is the place where you are buried." β
Tuoba Yan shouted respectfully: "Meet the Marquis of Annan." β

The back hall of Hongyong Mansion.
Originally, the warden Xu Ning was waiting outside the prison for instructions to be sent, but who knew that the old man Yin Lu Zhen was out of the prison and personally asked Xu Ning to follow the sedan chair, how could Xu Ning dare to delay, and he didn't dare to say anything after following the sedan chair along the way, seeing the Yin Yamen, the prefect didn't let himself wait in the study, and took it all the way to the back hall bedroom, cleared the left and right house slaves, let himself sit on the Taishi chair behind the table of the eight immortals, and personally poured himself a cup of ginseng tea, almost kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to thank the lord for his grace.
Lu Zhen, the old man of the mansion, took out a palm-sized carved sandalwood box from the bedroom, and the two sat in the main hall of the bedroom, Lu Zhen opened his mouth and asked, "How many years have you been with this mansion?"
Xu Ning stood up and replied, "Master Hui, you have been promoted to junior high school in the second year of your appointment, and it has been seven years now. β
Lu Zhen nodded and asked, "How do I treat you?"
"The lord treats me with great kindness. "Speaking of Xu Ning's robe and kneeling, this is not a compliment, this Xu Ning was a thoughtful poor person when he was a jailer, Lu Zhifu was not as presumptuous as he is now in the second year of his tenure, and he acted with scruples at that time, this Xu Ning saw that Lu Zhifu had some deep meaning for a female prisoner in prison, and this bold jailer actually took the risk of being beheaded to secretly send the woman out of prison to the back hall.
At that time, Xu Ning was also trembling, but who knew that the lord was very satisfied, and it didn't take long for him to sit in the position of the prison, although there were only nine grades, but the city was a first-class fat poor, and most of the silver spit out by the people who were detained and imprisoned went into the pocket of the prefect, but there was still a small part of it was caught by Xu Ning.
"Now my lord, I said to you a high-ranking official, do you dare?" Lu Zhen said, opened the carved wooden box and put it in front of Xu Ning.
Xu Ning looked up, and suddenly his eyes widened, and the two gold bars were neatly stacked in the wooden box, and Xu Ning's eyes were about to fall out, and he kowtowed three times and said: "Go to the soup and fight the fire, don't hesitate." β
Lu Zhen said happily: "Okay, this mansion is not wrong, these two gold bars are just hors d'oeuvres, after the matter is completed, the lord will reward you a hundred times, and then the lord's position will be yours." β
"Sir, you command. β
Fu Yin Lu Zhen took a deep breath, picked up Xu Ning and helped him to the chair of the Taishi, stuffed the carved wooden box into Xu Ning's hand, and whispered: "Tonight, on the second watch, you remove everyone in the prison, on the third watch, you bring someone back to collect the body, and after taking it down, it will be burned outside the city, and the master will write a letter of suicide after a while, and you will send someone to the county guard yamen overnight, may it be done?"
Xu Ning was shocked when he heard this, the master was obviously going to take a risk, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you..."
Lu Zhen's hand was a little heavier, pressed it on Xu Ning's wrist, and said firmly: "Don't ask, after tonight, this position is yours, do you dare?"
Xu Ning struggled repeatedly in the turbulent waves in his heart, looked down at the carved wooden box in his hand, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and nodded: "Dare." β
Taking advantage of the night, Xu Ning carried a carved sandalwood box and walked out of the Yin Yamen quickly.

Back hall study.
Ji Ziming was called by his subordinates, saying that he was summoned by the master, Ji Ziming hurried to the study, and saw that the master was sitting behind the table, his face was dark, and he bent down and said, "Master." β
The prefect Lu Zhen's face was dark, and he said lightly: "No need to be polite, this mansion has just interrogated important military information in the mouth of the people, it is very urgent, and I will go out of the city to Tianmen Pass in a while, and I can return in four days. β
"Commanded. β

After nightfall, the rest of Hongyong Mansion was pitch black except for the two main streets, and two majestic men wandered around a place called flower beggars with lanterns, turned around a few times, set up a sleepy-eyed young beggar, and slapped the beggar without waiting for the beggar to speak, and slapped the beggar unconscious, resisting on the shoulder.
-
On the bridge floor, Xu Ning walked into the back hall, a group of jailers saw that the warden master drove to the front and hurriedly greeted him, Xu Ning looked at the number of people, the messengers on duty at night were there, cleared his throat and shouted: "Master Fu Yin has reviewed important news, rewarded our masters, our grandfathers are not the ones who eat alone, tonight I ordered three tables of first-class banquets at the East Street Welcome Restaurant, you rabbit cubs have a good mouth, do you want to go?"
"Go. Hearing such a good thing, the poor people agreed with green eyes like wolves.
-
On the bridge tower, the second watch drum sounded, the old man of the mansion Yin took two messengers to carry the fainted beggar into the prison, tea time, Hongyong Mansion Yin Lu Zhen and three messengers wearing black and red official clothes out of the Hongyong Mansion prison, taking advantage of the moonlight to faintly see one of the messengers with a white medicine cloth wrapped around his head.
At the east gate of Hongyong Mansion, a team of government soldiers had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw the old man of Fu Yin riding over, they called open the city gate for the first personal soldiers, and a group of twenty horsemen went out from the north gate of Hongyong Mansion.
In a dark corner of Hongyong Mansion City, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar looked at the backs of everyone leaving and sighed.
