Chapter 173: Mountain Rain is Coming

The Five Elements Sect group of heroes were all taken aback when they heard the bad news of Tu Xuanyuan's death. When Liu Shaoyang's heart was sad, he only heard Meng Shaoliang's sad voice and continued: "That day, Xuanyuan Xian's nephew and I first went to Anqing to report the news, but who knew that we were less than a hundred miles away from here, so we intercepted the way for five or six masked men. ”

"Those people are all good at martial arts, and when they see us, they don't follow the rules of the road, and they suddenly kill the killer without saying a word. After a vicious fight, Xuan Yuanxian's nephew and I reluctantly killed the gang of thieves. Meng was lucky, but he was injured by a few swords. Xuan Yuanxian's nephew was hit by a poison dart, and he died of poison in a moment!"

When everyone heard this, they were all amazed. Meng Shaoliang choked up, and said slowly: "I saw that the matter had come to this, so I had to cremate his body and collect it in an altar." and worried about the opponent and not knowing where to come from, and so powerful, even if the brothers who split the rudder came more, it was in vain. Therefore, he ran west all night, returned to the general helm and mobilized these good hands to help, and he couldn't rush back until today!"

Lu Zitong looked solemn when he heard this, and said solemnly: "What gang and faction are these people on the rivers and lakes, and they also come to seize the treasure and refuse to reveal their origins, and the things in them are not simple! As the saying goes: 'The wall has ears', and from now on, no one will mention a word about the treasure." lest you blow the tone for Xiao Xiao and invite endless troubles!"

When the Five Elements Sect heard this, they were all awe-struck, and they kept silent and stopped mentioning the treasure. Everyone was stunned, and immediately returned to Lianghuai. Liu Shaoyang was worried about those masked guests who did not know their origins, and he would never give up. I didn't want to be on guard, but the wind and waves were calm, and I had nothing to do.

After years like this, it has been 23 years of Hongwu in the blink of an eye. In the past few years, Wuxingmen has recruited more than 10,000 remnants of Zhang Zhou who have moved from Susong's hometown to Huaisi. For a while, the fame and power were far and wide, and it was at its peak among the large and small gangs in Jianghuai.

During this period, the case of the old prime minister Hu Weiyong arose again, and he forced confessions before and after, and even sat down and tortured into a confession. There are more than tens of thousands of party members who have conspired against each other. Han Gong Li Shanchang is a very popular minister, and he has been trapped for many years, and he has been spared death. Zhu Yuanzhang secretly made Jinyi Weiluo make evidence of the crime, and the family dismissed Cao Wen in Beijing City, and implicated many generals to send their lives, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

On this day, the news reached Huai'an Mansion, and Lu Zitong was secretly happy when he heard it, and he felt that the time had come. At the moment, the old department of the leader of the general helm was summoned and gathered together to discuss and plan.

When everyone heard the news, they were all surprised. Xu Yi's face was pale, and he got up and said: "This Li Shanchang is Zhu Yuanzhang's minister of the humerus, and now he can't even sit down and die well. Counting the rest of the princes before and after, the founding ministers of the Ming court are almost empty, and the people in the court are panicking. Since ancient times, only in troubled times can we compete for the world. Our lord's old ministry has endured it for decades, and I will drive Ming Fuzhou to do this!"

His voice fell, but he saw Zhizun Fang Tianlu on the side twisting his beard, shook his head and said: "Lord Xu Zun's words are wrong, I thought that we people wanted to make trouble, but now although it is a good opportunity, there are not many chances to win. It's better to wait a few more years, until Zhu Yuanzhang's old thief is decrepit and faint, and there are changes in the East Palace, and the princes are fighting endlessly. As a result, Zhu Ming caused trouble and infighting. I'll have a better chance to seize the opportunity and re-image the three Wu in one fell swoop!"

Xu Yi's face was displeased when he heard this, and he said slightly stunned: "Lord Fang, we of the old Zhou and Wu departments have been planning for many years, and we are waiting for such a good opportunity, how can we delay it again and again! Could it be that Lord Fang is used to living a comfortable life, and I am afraid that it will not happen when the matter comes?"

Fang Tianlu's face showed disdain, and he replied coldly: "The old man used to live and die with the lord for several years, how could he have been afraid of a major event! Now that I have seen a little time, I am so impatient, and I really don't know what intentions I am!"

Everyone present saw that among the Five Elements and Three Venerables, Xu Yi and Fang Tianlu had already made the atmosphere awkward after a few words. Everyone sighed secretly in their hearts, and they all looked at the door master Lu Zitong.

Lu Zitong knew that Xu and Fang had not been in harmony for a long time, so he didn't think it was strange. At that moment, he stood up and looked around, and Lang Ran said: "The two old brothers have far-reaching plans, and they are all reasonable. Lu thought about it, but he also had a humble opinion. In recent years, the Ming court has been inherently turbulent, and the land of Sanwu is also restless. Everyone knew that the two prefectures of Susong were heavy on donations, and the Ming court repeatedly forced the people of Pingjiang to move north and west, and the people of Li in the old capital of the lord were all resentful. I thought that if we were to do it again, we should not have missed such a good opportunity. It's just that how to act needs to be prepared and cautious!"

When he said this, most of the people present agreed. Everyone was about to discuss with each other again, when the henchmen on duty outside the door suddenly walked into the hall to report something. It was said that Ji Ningxuan, the prefect of Huai'an, sent someone to send an invitation, and set up a banquet in the mansion the day after tomorrow to celebrate his child's full moon. Please Lu Zitong or the leader of the door, be sure to go to the banquet to congratulate.

When Huo Xuanyu heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Phew! This Ji Ningxuan set up a name and received a lot of silver from our Five Elements Gate." A few months ago, a thousand taels of tribute were handed over, and today they are going to knock on bamboo poles again! Storytellers often say: 'Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver,' and this is indeed true. Such an insatiable corrupt official should really peel the skin and pull the grass to set an example. According to me, let's not be afraid of this dog official, just ignore him!"
