It is said that Jia Cong and others guessed from what Yuan Shikai's cousin said that Fang Xiong hid the property he had stolen from the capital and hid it somewhere in Chang'an. Jia Cong said: "The Gao family is in Chang'an, bother them to investigate?" ”

Jia Yu and Liu Feng said in unison: "No! ”

Jia Yu said: "With such a large amount of money, even relatives can't hold it." I went back to Fang's house to find out what rice they had hidden in Chang'an. ”

Jia Cong said: "By the way, Qiu Liang has not been idle these days, and is looking around for the framing master." But will people be killed? Something that appears to be a false oracle. ”

Jia Yu said: "There are many framed masters who don't know how to read. Nai thought for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether the framed master lives or dies, this matter can be used." So he ordered Liu Feng to make such and such arrangements.

Liu Feng glanced at Jia Cong with a smile: "It's really an uncle and nephew." Jia Yu raised his eyebrows.

Jia Cong heheheed twice: "Fifth uncle, you call this the answer!" Back then, Brother Baoyu smashed Huo Xuan to death with an inkstone, why don't I use this trick for him to avenge his grievances? ”

Jia Yu said: "This is called taking advantage of the situation!" If you don't understand, study more. ”

"Yes, yes, what the fifth uncle said!" Jia Cong never hesitated to pat the elders' ass.

Jia Huanai wrote a password, sent an urgent letter, and let the pigeon fly back to Chengtianfu.

A few days later, General Huang's subordinate Xiu Mu, who was patrolling Qingcheng Mountain, heard about something and hurriedly returned it to General Huang. General Huang ordered to report to Qiu Liang quickly. Qiu Liang was overjoyed when he heard this: "It can be regarded as a letter!" "It turned out that there was a gossip in the town at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, saying that a framing master was drunk and once said that he framed a pile of shredded paper in one place, which was no different from the whole! The man was never found again, and he was not seen alive or dead.

Qiu Liang personally led people to investigate. After checking for three days, I didn't find the name of the master and the location of the shop. On the third day, when I saw the hour of dinner, a daredevil rushed from behind the alley and bumped into Qiu Liang, and ran away without even saying sorry. Qiu Liang looked at the man's back and turned away, spreading his palms. The man just slipped a note for him. When I opened it, it read: In the Yuanming Palace in the north of Zhangren Mountain, Fang Yong, a henchman of Fang Yong, is eating.

Qiu Liang was secretly frightened and led people over. As soon as I entered the gate, I heard someone shouting: "Fang Yong! The official family is here, run! He cried out, "Don't go away, thief!" The soldiers were quick to catch and rushed back. I saw that the Taoist priests and pilgrims who were eating were in a mess, and when they asked, they all said that someone had fled through the back door in a hurry. Qiu Liang and the others chased after him. No one ran fast, and seeing that seven or eight people turned onto the mountain path and were about to escape, a soldier behind Qiu Liang secretly shot arrows with a bow, aimed at a thief, and hit the back of the heart. The thief fell in response. The remaining thieves did not care about the corpse and fled into the mountains and forests.

Nai took the thief's body and brought it back, and General Huang recognized it at a glance: "It is the thief who coaxed me that day!" ”

Qiu Liang sighed: "It's useless to die, and you can't try it." "For when they looked for the soldier who shot the arrow, they did not find it, and they all said that they did not shoot the arrow, and that they did not know the one who shot the arrow. Thinking of the note that suddenly slipped into his hand, Qiu Liang couldn't help but be suspicious, I am afraid that it was the bandit who was inside the bar and used himself as a cover.

The commission of the arrow is really Fang Yong. Yesterday, the aunt in the second room of the Fang family washed the clothes for Mrs. Fang, and found that the clothes were too thick, and she suspected that there was something in her heart, so she offered it to the second wife. The second wife quietly opened it and looked for it, and there was half a handkerchief hidden in the belt! The handkerchief is embroidered with a map of Qingcheng Mountain, and only a "Yuanming Palace" is indicated on the map. Fang Yong got this letter, and led a few henchmen to Qingcheng Mountain quietly early this morning, but it happened that Qiu Liang was caught. He also carried this half of the handkerchief with him, so he naturally asked Qiu Liang to search for it. A group of Taoist priests in the Yuanming Palace rushed to other places that day, and the people of the King of Shu occupied this Taoist temple and dug three feet into the ground to find it.

The next day, Fang Yong's men returned to the camp dejectedly and brought one person with them. This person's name is Lu Sanzhang, and he is a woodcutter on Qingcheng Mountain.

He was not a man of the mountains. In the old year, because of the death of his nephew, he wanted to become a monk, and the old Taoist priests in the Taoist temple said that he refused to accept it before the dust was over, and he did not want to return to his hometown, so he lived in the mountains. When Fang Yong's people fled, they happened to meet him walking on the mountain road with firewood. He shouted, "Follow me!" Fang Yong had just been hit by an arrow, and his people were like horses without a halter, so they followed him in a daze. This Qiao is very familiar with mountain roads and has excellent arm strength, leading them through the forest and stream, drilling through the cave and climbing over the wild vines, and getting rid of Qiu Liang's pursuers.

Lu Sanzhang led them to a shack to roast some game, and said, "My nephew just had a few words with people and let the government take him to prison, and it was gone in only two days." I'm not helping you, but it's just that the government doesn't like it. Those officers and soldiers have been here for many days, and you can't run away, so I will see you off at night. Everyone saw that he was strong in martial arts and saved their own lives, so they pulled him into the gang. This man said, "There is no greater mourning than death." ”

Someone persuaded: "Since the government has harmed your nephew, wouldn't you be happy to kill the dog official to take revenge?" ”

Lu Sanzhang said: "The dog officer and the jailer who killed my nephew have been killed. Just kill them, it's not like my nephew can't come back? ”

The man also advised, "A man cannot be resurrected after death." The great revenge of the nephew has been avenged, and the spirit of heaven is also at peace. Why is Brother Lu still obsessed? Is there more than one dog official in the world? There are also nephews of other people's families who have been killed. ”

Lu Sanzhang's eyes lit up, and he finally shook his head and said, "I'm used to the mountains." ”

These are all ordinary soldiers with simple minds. Seeing that Lu Sanzhang's expression was already loose, they thought that now that Fang Yong was dead, he would definitely be a group of dragons without a leader when he went back. Since he is a master, he is stronger than Fang Yong, wouldn't it be a pity to let him go in vain? They looked at each other a few times. Another said: "Brother Lu said that you are not allowed to leave the house, and the fate is not over, shouldn't it be on the head of our brother?" ”

"Isn't it!" Another way, "Our master is a heavenly and human nether realm, a Taoist priest in the third generation, and the fairy wind and Dao bones are very good." Why don't you see Brother Lu? ”

Lu Sanzhang let them talk for a long time, but they still hesitated. Late at night, Lu Sanzhang led them down the mountain to avoid the officers and soldiers, and stole a few horses for them, so he wanted to say goodbye. A soldier said: "Brother Lu, we still have to walk a long way to get there, I'm afraid it's not peaceful." To send the Buddha to the west, it is better to bother Brother Lu to give us a ride. Lu Sanzhang smiled: "This is a scoundrel, isn't it?" A few people went up to make trouble, but Lu Sanzhang couldn't shirk it, so he agreed.

Several people happily brought him back to the camp, and Old Madam Fang was shocked: "How can you bring outsiders at will!" If he is a court worker, what would it be! ”

Hearing this, Lu Sanzhang hugged his fists and said: "There is no evil intention in the next place, but it is just that a few brothers are invited and warm." Since the family is unwilling, they will leave. Nai made an oath and said, "If you leak your place to the government, you will be a military general for the rest of your life, and you will not die on the battlefield, but only a villain." ”

Old Madam Fang gasped and said after a while: "The old body has never heard such a poisonous oath. The general fought a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud returned; What a grievance to die at the hands of a villain. Lu Zhuangshi, the old man believes in you. Lu Sanzhang clenched his fists and said goodbye, turned around and wanted to leave. Old Madam Fang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him to make amends, but Lu Sanzhang still refused to stay.

Fang Yifei was shocked when he saw this person: Isn't it that Jinyi Wei Qianhu Liu Quan? Could it be that Fang Yong was killed by his design? Because Fang Yong didn't tell anyone about going to Qingcheng Mountain with that half of the handkerchief, the Fang family didn't know what he was doing except for the second room, and Fang Yifei couldn't guess what he had done in his mind. Then he also stepped forward to keep Lu Sanzhang and said earnestly: "The gentleman saves people from fire and water." I listened to the oath of a strong man, thinking that he was born in the army. Now we have no one to lead the army. Although it is difficult now, the general will not be disadvantaged in the future. ”

Lu Sanzhang glanced at her a few times and said, "This little general is the little master who has practiced in the Taoist temple as a few brothers said?" ”

Fang Yifei clenched his fists: "Exactly." ”

"Have you ever learned how to lead soldiers?"

Fang Yifei smiled bitterly: "A scholar, I have never studied. ”

Lu Sanzhang said: "I followed a few brothers here, thinking that they were just ordinary mountain bandits. Fang Cai glanced at the soldiers who came and went, not wanting to be a serious army. In the next was a military household, and it took a lot of effort for my brother to get out, and I also promised my brother not to be a soldier again. Since there is a shortage of people in your camp, you can temporarily take charge of the army in the next place, and I hope that the master will learn well. If the master can take charge of his own soldiers and horses, he will retire to civilian duties when he is next to the office. ”

Old Madam Fang was overjoyed in her heart, and said pretendly: "These will be discussed in the future!" ”

Lu Sanzhang stayed in the Fang family camp, but in a few days, he subdued all the soldiers, and he never took credit, and everything was based on Fang Yifei. He also taught Fang Yifei how to rectify the military regulations, how to use both grace and power, the soldiers and horses before the grain and grass were moved, and the high defense and trapping pit under the guard. Fang Yifei is talented and intelligent. The idea of power is learned very quickly. And this man is sincere, honest, and reliable by his face. Although the Fang family doesn't necessarily like him, they are all relieved of him. Mrs. Fang was so happy that she chanted the Buddha every day: "I don't want Fang Yong to change such a person!" Qiu Liang also hung Fang Yong's head on Qingcheng Mountain to tempt people to steal, but the Fang family heard about it, but they only ordered not to let the soldiers under him know, for fear that someone would cause trouble.

Originally, there was a lot of food stored in the camp, but recently, Lu Sanzhang trained his troops vigorously, and the amount of food for the soldiers suddenly increased. He then discussed with Fang Yifei: "I have to make up some grain and grass." ”

Fang Yifei said worriedly: "Right now, we are all traitors." ”

Lu Sanzhang said: "Or rob a grain depot." It's just that at the moment, these people's combat strength is not enough, and some risks are good, and it will be good in three months. I don't know if the food stock is enough for three months. ”

Fang Yifei then went to discuss with Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang said: "Since it is inconvenient to rob, there is a rice shop in my marriage, and no one except your grandfather knows about it." It's just far away in Chang'an. ”

Fang Yifei said: "In this case, send someone to go first and bring some grain and grass." ”

Nai called Lu Sanzhang to discuss. Lu Sanzhang said: "Grain and grass are important, and so many grain carts are easy to attract people's attention. At present, our camp is still safe, and the trench has been dug outside, and Master Yi Fei is becoming more and more heroic. I took some brothers to Chang'an to collect grain, and the master was in charge of the army alone for a few days. ”

Fang Yifei was taken aback: "So fast!" Where can I hold it down! ”

Lu Sanzhang smiled and said: "You are the master, you are born to suppress it." I'm just going to charge grain, and Chang'an is not far away. I will instruct a few capable brothers to help the master. Sooner or later, the master will have to be on his own, and it is good to practice his courage. ”

Old Madam Fang naturally wished that her granddaughter would take the military power as soon as possible, and seeing that he intended to let go, she hurriedly said: "It's a big matter to hold the grain." Since General Lu said that you should try it, why not try it? Fang Yifei hesitated for a long time, but also responded.

Lu Sanzhang then led a team of people, took the tokens given by Mrs. Fang and the letters of his own soldiers, and set off for Chang'an in the guise of ordinary grain merchant bodyguards.

Nothing on the road. On this day, I entered Chang'an City, and because I was not familiar with the road, I found someone on the side of the road to inquire. I saw an aunt walking over with a flat pole on her shoulder, and two boxes of pecans hanging on both ends of the pole. Lu Sanzhang stared at others. A brother laughed and said, "That aunt who sells walnuts is so pretty!" Lu Sanzhang's face turned red, his waist was pulled, and he stepped forward to inquire about the road to the aunt.

The aunt put down her shoulder and said, "I originally came to the city from the countryside to sell goods, and Fenglong Rice Coincidentally knows." There's their shop right there. Lu Sanzhang thanked him repeatedly, and asked how to get to Tongjifang. The aunt was articulate, and after a few strokes on the ground with a flat burden, Lu Sanzhang understood. He hurried to thank him. The aunt picked up the walnuts and left, and Lu Sanzhang still turned his head to look at others.

A brother coughed: "Brother Lu! The neck is twisted! The crowd laughed.

Lu Sanzhang was still reluctant to turn his head and said, "Good Peugeot aunt!" That looks like my daughter-in-law. The crowd laughed louder and louder.

After a while, they found Fenglong Rice Shop, and saw the big shopkeeper with a token in hand. The shopkeeper's surname is Wan, but he is actually a nephew of Fang Xiong, who hid the word "Fang". A few days ago, I heard that something had happened to the Fang family, and I was very scared. Later, I heard that the women and children of the Fang family had been rescued, and I made up my mind. Because Shu is taking them, they don't dare to send people to inquire at will, for fear of causing trouble. Now that I have seen them, I have heard that the old lady, the lady, the girl, and the young master are all good, so I am relieved.

The brothers were placed first, and Lu Sanzhang went to the secret room alone with the shopkeeper Wan. He said, "The old lady said, things don't move for the time being. The king of Shu searched for these things tightly, and he did not suspect that he would come outside the Shu kingdom at all. Wait until the wind is over. We are running out of grain and grass, so we only need to bring some grain and grass back to help the emergency. ”

Shopkeeper Wan nodded and said, "The old lady is thoughtful. Then he asked, "How is the family doing now?" ”

Lu Sanzhang sighed lightly: "There is no adult male, and I am not the master." is helpless, and now the three girls are pretending to be men and are in charge for the time being. ”

The shopkeeper was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "The King of Shu is a white-eyed wolf!" Who welcomed him into Shu back then? After a few years of hard work, he crossed the bridge and drew the board. ”

Lu Sanzhang said: "Red Bone Ji doesn't sell firearms to us, where are we the opponent of the King of Shu with swords and axes?" For today's plan, the only way is to settle down first and train the soldiers; After the king of Shu searched for a while and couldn't find it, he tried to buy firearms under the guise of another prince. Otherwise, there is no way to avenge the revenge of adults. ”

Shopkeeper Wan nodded and asked, "Brother Lu is in a hurry this time?" ”

"I'm in a hurry, I'm waiting for food at home. I also hope that the shopkeeper will prepare grain and grass soon. ”

"I'll go and prepare." The shopkeeper said, "If you want anything, just say it." ”

Lu Sanzhang hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if the shopkeeper is familiar with Chang'an?" ”

Shopkeeper Wan said: "I have been here for more than 30 years. ”

Lu Sanzhang's face flushed slightly: "We didn't know the way after we entered the city, and an aunt who sold walnuts pointed us in the direction." I thought, I need to thank her more. ”

The shopkeeper Wan said strangely: "A guide, thank you, Brother Lu is still looking for her." ”

Lu Sanzhang simply said: "I look at the appearance of that aunt very pleasing to the eye. ”

Shopkeeper Wan was stunned, stroked his palms and smiled: "I see! It's a trifle! So he sent someone to go outside to find out a good-looking walnut seller.

In a short time, the organic spirit buddies had already found out. It turned out that the daughter-in-law's family name was Jia Yuwen, who was originally a scholar, and left home at the beginning of the year with a big burden of Shiwen, saying that he wanted to find an errand to be a guest at the eldest master's house. There was no rice to cook at home, so Aunt Jia went to Chang'an City to look for her husband, but there was no such person in large and small yamen and large households. This Aunt Jia coincidentally recognized a walnut seller, so she learned to sell walnuts to make a living.

Lu Sanzhang sighed when he heard this: "Her man really doesn't know anything! There is a beautiful wife at home and running around. ”

Shopkeeper Wan smiled: "Brother Lu said yes! In my opinion, where is her man more merciful than Brother Lu. ”

Lu Sanzhang blushed, asked the guy for the whereabouts of Aunt Jia, and ran away.
