There was silence all around the station.

After all, Xiling is different from Guannei, once it gets dark, the city may still be orderly, but the land of Siye hides danger, so before dark, pedestrians will find a place to settle as soon as possible, without absolute strength, often will not walk at night.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs." Wen Budao also sighed lightly: "Living in this world is already difficult. ”

Lu Hong smiled: "Boss Wen can understand, that's really good." ”

"Head catcher, you said that the Wutuo people still dare to fight in Xiling?" Wen Budao asked: "As far as I know, General Hei Yu captured the Khan on a snowy night back then, and King Veda Khan made an oath that he would not lead his army into the customs again in his lifetime. ”

Lu Hong said: "It seems that Boss Wen doesn't know that the King of the Veda Khan, who led the army into the customs more than ten years ago, was killed by his brother last year, and the current King of the Veda Khan is already the third Great Khan of the Vedic Kingdom." ”

"Oh?" Wen Budao was a little surprised: "I haven't heard of this. ”

"The previous Great Khan made a vow that he would not set foot in Xiling again in his lifetime, but he did not say that his successor, the Khan, would keep this oath." Lu Hong's expression was solemn: "It is said that the new Khan King is ambitious, and after taking the throne, he immediately sent troops to the west, and in a few months, he has already destroyed the three small countries of Gumo, Xiye, and Pishan. The new Khan King not only made the countries of the Western Regions tremble, but also won the hearts of the people in the Wooda Kingdom, and his prestige was extremely great. ”

Wen Budao naturally knew that outside Kunlun Pass, there was a very strong Vedic State that had only been established for a few decades, and continued to the west, but there were dozens of small countries in the Western Regions, many of which were really just a small land, and the whole country added up to only tens of thousands of people, and it was naturally vulnerable to the Vedic Khanate.

"When the west side has surrendered, I guess it's time to move this way." Lu Hong sneered: "For their own interests, the three major gate lords did not let the imperial court station heavy troops in Xiling, in the eyes of the Vedic people, this is a piece of fat, if you bite it down, Xiling will be a river of blood." Boss Wen still remembers that after the Wutuo people entered the customs, how many Li people died tragically under their butcher's knives? ”

Wen Budao also sneered: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and one day, you will let the Vedas taste the taste of rivers of blood." ”

"There may come a day, but before that day comes, we may be dead." The corners of Lu Hong's eyes twitched slightly: "Xiling is extremely dangerous, if you want the family to be safe and sound, the best way is to migrate to Guannei, so that he can at least avoid a disaster if he rises again against the sword soldiers." ”

Wen Budao frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "Catch the head and tell me this, I don't know what it means?" He doesn't always have nothing to do, and he intends to chat with me. ”

"There's nothing too big to ask for." Lu Hong stared at Wen Budao: "I just ask Boss Wen to reward tens of thousands of taels of silver, with these silver, I can leave Xiling with my family and really live a human life." ”

Wen Budao was stunned for a moment, his eyes instantly became deep, and there was a light smile on his lips: "The head catcher wants silver?" ”

"I originally lived like a beggar, if Boss Wen had mercy and generosity, Lu would definitely be grateful." Lu Hong said softly.

Wen Budao suddenly smiled and said: "The appetite of the head catcher is not small, and it is tens of thousands of taels of silver when you open your mouth." Raising his hands, "But I still have shackles on my hands now, and I am penniless, even if I want to give alms, I am afraid I don't have the ability." ”

Lu Hong also smiled and said, "Boss Wen is humble. Your Golden Hook Gambling House has been in Turtle City for a long time, and the three gambling houses are thriving every day, and today's value, not to mention millions of taels, is naturally hundreds of thousands of taels. I only need a few tens of thousands of taels, is Boss Wen reluctant? ”

"I dare to give, Lu Zhutou dare to ask for it?" Wen Budao smiled and said: "Han Duwei of your Duwei Mansion is not an ordinary person, if he knew that you asked me for tens of thousands of taels of silver, he would be able to tolerate you?" ”

"One is willing to give, the other is willing to accept, even Han Yunong can't control it, it's nothing more than driving me out of the Governor's Mansion." Lu Hong picked up a dry bun on the table, took a bite, and didn't care: "There are tens of thousands of taels of silver, go directly to the customs, who is still staying in this ghost place in Xiling." ”

Wen Budao smiled faintly and said, "This matter must be discussed after my case is over, and I can't take out a penny of copper coins now." ”

"Boss Wen, this is not honest." Lu Hong took another bite, threw the dried bun on the table, stared at Wen Budao's eyes and said, "I told Boss Wen the truth, but Boss Wen couldn't treat me sincerely." ”

Wen Budao just smiled slightly and didn't speak.

"Boss Wen should be a smart person, why does the case that has been decided half a year ago suddenly have to be retried?" Lu Hong's eyes were sharp: "You haven't thought about what's wrong with this?" ”

Wen Budao asked rhetorically: "Lu Zhutou knows the inside story?" ”

"It's impossible for you not to understand the truth that the husband is not guilty and guilty." Lu Hong sneered: "There are many gambling houses in Turtle City, but in terms of financial resources, your Golden Hook Gambling House is second to none, holding hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, you should know that no one will be worried." ”

Wen Budao smiled: "You mean Qiao Leshan?" ”

"It seems that Boss Wen has understood." Lu Hong said with a smile: "The case half a year ago was carefully designed by Qiao Leshan, so that you fell into a trap and committed the case, but he did it very skillfully, and even you didn't see the clues, and thought it was all your own responsibility." ”

Wen Budao sighed lightly: "It's a pity that the case is not big, and I can only be put in prison for a year." ”

"He can't be blamed for that. He has been with you for many years, and he knows that you are also a cautious person, and he knows that once the layout is too deep, it is likely to be seen by you, so he can only set up a small case for you. Lu Hong said slowly: "Originally, that small case was only enough to sentence you for half a year, but he spent a lot of money on the side of Xing Cao to set a one-year sentence." ”

Wen Budao didn't laugh angrily: "My righteous brother is really useless." Half a year is enough time for him to make everything I have his, and he is worried that there will not be enough time, so he has to fight for a year. ”

"That's exactly what he thinks." Lu Hong said: "In a year, he can calmly turn the Golden Hook Gambling House into his own, and he can also arrange your hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." ”

"It's a pity that although he caught the gambling house in his hands, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he was most worried about were nowhere to be found." Wen Budao smiled and said: "Seeing that I have half a year to go out, if the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are already in his hands, he has both people and silver, even if I go out, he is full of confidence, and naturally he doesn't have to be afraid that I am his opponent." But there was no trace of the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and after I went out, if I had that silver in my hand, it would be easy to clean him up. ”

Lu Hong gave a thumbs up and laughed: "Boss Wen is really a mirror, that's the truth." Half a year has passed, there is no clue about the silver, and he will definitely not be able to find a clue in the remaining half of the year, he really has no choice but to think of other ways. ”

"This time, he escorted me to Fenggan Mansion for retrial, and naturally he was the one who bought off the torture Cao and did something in the case file, so that he could find an excuse for me to go to Fenggan Mansion for interrogation." Wen Budao sighed: "But this case itself is not a big case, no matter how you play tricks, it is nothing more than sentencing me for a few more years, after all, I can't be sentenced to death, as long as I don't die, he will be uneasy in his heart." Raising his head slightly, he muttered thoughtfully: "Then there are only two ways to solve this matter, the first way is naturally to spend a lot of money to buy Fenggan Mansion, maybe I can suddenly die of a sudden illness in the prison." ”

Lu Hong nodded and said: "This is a way, but if you really want to do this, first, there will be a lot of people involved, and it will not be stable after all, and secondly, it will inevitably cost a lot of silver, in fact, Qiao Leshan really doesn't have much silver in his hand now." ”

"Then there is only the second way." Wen Budao smiled slightly: "On the way to Fenggan Mansion, find an opportunity to slaughter me, and then you can make up that I was killed by thieves, Lu Zhutou, I don't know if what I said is right?" ”

"Boss Wen can play a piece of the world in Turtle City, which is really extraordinary."

Wen Budao laughed and said, "He chose the second method, otherwise Lu Zhutou would not be so clear about his affairs." He sighed and said, "Han Yunong has also made a name for himself in Zhen County over the years, and the Duwei Mansion is in his hands, and it can be regarded as orderly." Lu Zhutou colluded with Qiao Leshan in private, compared to the Governor's Mansion under the banner of eradicating treachery, your dark and filthy behavior is contrary to the flagpole erected by Han Yunong for the Governor's Mansion, if he really wants to know, I'm afraid it will not be as simple as expelling you from the Governor's Mansion. ”

"That's for the future, at least for now, Boss Wen's life and death are already in my hands." Lu Hong sneered: "You died here, I promise that I can find a good reason to explain the cause of your death, and absolutely no one will be able to find out the truth." ”

"I believe it." Wen Budao nodded.

Lu Hong's face softened a little: "Qiao Leshan designed to frame you, you didn't even take revenge, of course you are not willing to die here like this." And with your ability, no matter where you go, it won't take you a few years to make a comeback. ”

"Thanks to Lu Catching's praise, Wen is really flattered."

"So smart people make smart choices." Lu Hong stared at Wen Budao's eyes: "Tell me the whereabouts of that silver, no matter how much, I will only take 50,000 taels, and I don't care what you do with the rest, the 50,000 taels of silver will be your life silver, what do you think?" ”

"Not too greedy." Wen Budao smiled: "But you took 50,000 taels of silver, aren't you afraid that I will trouble you afterwards?" ”

"I'm sure you won't do that." Lu Hong said: "I let you go, if you don't go to Fengganfu, you will become a fugitive, stay in Xiling, you will only be wanted, Han Yunong is like a wolf, he really wants to find you, as long as you are in Xiling, you will definitely be found by him, if you say that I took your silver, I will not admit it, and I will not let you have evidence." The best way for you to go is to enter the customs with the rest of the silver, and there will naturally be a chance for you to show your skills in the customs. ”
