Chapter 139: Negotiation

Lu Hui was deeply touched, he had been the county magistrate of two lower counties before, and he had never encountered such frequent homicide cases. The Gao family had just died not long ago, and this time five thieves of unknown origin had died, as well as three officials, such casualties could not be suppressed no matter what, and they must be reported to the county guard immediately, transferred to the imperial court, and waited for the ruling of the ministry.

He was very frustrated, although he made a lot of money, but in his heart, he was a good one, and he only looked for those rich and wealthy families, and these people's money was not the hard-earned money of the common people who bought low and sold high? In addition to making money, he still wants to make some political achievements, because only with political achievements in hand, the family can lobby him to go further, in the official career, if he does not advance, he will retreat, his ambition is not big, he can be a county guard, and then transfer to the capital to be a Beijing official.

But under the rule, there have been such big cases one after another, even if Wu County is the world of the four surnames, with the Lu family behind his back, it is very likely to break halfway and fall a big heel in the broken place of Qiantang.

"Fuck, this yamen is in conflict with Lao Tzu, and he demolished and rebuilt it for me!"

Lu Hui completely ignored Sven, scolded in the back hall, Li Dingzhi and Du Sansheng glanced at each other, and quietly looked away, anyway, the iron-clad county government, the flowing county order, whoever is in charge of the house is inseparable from their assistance, whether Lu Hui can pass this level or not, depending on his personal creation, it doesn't matter in the heart of the big guy.

"County Lieutenant Du, you go back and prepare, and go to Wu County with me tomorrow to discuss how to deal with the aftermath with Gu Fujun. Li Xiancheng, after I leave, all the affairs in the county, you will take care of it for the time being, and you must not slack off! ”

The two bowed at the same time and said, "No! ”

Jing Yuan.

"Xiaolang, what's wrong with you, you don't need breakfast, do you have a bad appetite?"

Lu Shuang opened the curtain and walked in, holding a bowl of colorful soup in his hand, seven or eight steps away, he could smell the fragrant aroma: "If you don't taste this soup, the autumn equinox specially ran to ask Sister Fang to cook for Xiaolang." ”

"Oh, Fang Xiuniang's craftsmanship, then I want to try it!"

Xu You took it with a smile, he didn't really want to eat it, but this small bowl of soup was poured into the autumn equinox, and if she didn't eat it, it would inevitably make her frustrated.

"It's good, it's salty and light, Fang Xiuniang is a good dish!"

After eating half a bowl at will, Xu You handed it back to Lu Shuang and said, "I am restless today, can you play a Qing Shang song for me?" ”

Qing Shang song originated from the Han and Wei Dynasty and the Great Song, the Six Dynasties was called "folk music", and then to the Sui Emperor Wen Emperor was called "Huaxia Zhengsheng", the style is delicate and beautiful, and has a fresh and natural beauty, which is the best to soothe the mind.

"Okay, I'll go get the piano!"

The red sleeves add fragrance, the time of soothing the qin and singing is always short, Xu You received a report from Cang, saying that Liu Yan sent someone to cut off the water source on Xiaoqu Mountain, and the sprinkled gold square saw that there was no water available. Lu Shuang frowned and said: "Liu Yan is so bold, this Biyou River is not exclusively for the use of the Golden Fang, several villages and towns downstream, hundreds of people, most of them rely on this river, he is so reckless, is he not afraid of stirring up civil unrest?" ”

Lu Hui accepted bribes and gave Liu Yan the entire Xiaoqu Mountain, which is shameless, and the spring water in the mountain naturally belongs to him. It's just that usually those big scholars cherish their reputation, and no one is willing to do such evil things that make neighbors poke their backbones" Xu You smiled: "Liu Yan is forcing me to beg him for mercy......"

"Begging for mercy?"

"Yes, Liu Yan dared to intercept the broken river, because he saw that the gold workshop needed to hurry up to make paper, and a delay of a day would be a loss of tens of thousands of dollars, and he wanted me to bow my head and beg him."

Frost pursed his lips and said, "He's so beautiful!" If you want me to say that Lang Jun doesn't have to deal with him, I guess he can't last a few days, and the villagers will make a fuss, and then Lu will collude with him again, and he won't dare to cover up! ”

"You, you still don't understand the sinister hearts of people!" Xu You sat in the deep house, but he seemed to be able to see everything that happened in Xiaoqu Mountain, and said, "Don't forget, it rained heavily in Qiantang yesterday!" If I am Liu Yan, the villagers will make a fuss, and say that the heavy rain has caused a landslide, and the pouring mud and rocks just blocked the river, if you want to clean it up, either the county government will pay for it, or the villagers will raise it themselves, and the progress of the construction period is completely in his hands, so if it is delayed for ten days and a half months, the loss of the gold workshop is not only hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there is no loss with him, why not? ”

"It can't be said that there is no loss, at least his reputation is damaged......

Xu You laughed and got up, and said, "Does Liu Yan seem to be a gentleman who cares about reputation?" Anyway, I went to see him, I haven't chatted with this Liu Langjun for a long time, I miss him very much! ”

Drove to Sajin Fang with Zuo Yan and Cangshi, He Wei got the letter, greeted him in advance, and said with a smile: "I guess Qilang will definitely come!" ”

Xu You jumped off the ox cart, dusted off the dust, and said, "Liu Yan wants to see me?" ”

"I don't want to see you, but I want to humiliate you!" He Wei didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and said indifferently: "It just depends on whether Qilang has Han Xin's patience and kung fu, and if he can endure it, he will go, otherwise, don't go!" ”

"Bear it, why can't you bear it?" Xu You also looked lazy and hung up with nothing to do with himself, and said: "If you insult me, you won't lose a piece of meat, let him be happy." By the way, call Fang Lao Jiang, I have something to ask him! ”

Ready, Xu You only took Zuo Yan to climb Xiaoqu Mountain, and when he passed through Biyoutan, he really saw a large pile of mud and rocks blocking the river, and the stagnant water spreading, and there was a tendency to gradually rise, if it was not dredged as soon as possible, once it was discharged, the villages in the distance might be fine, but the gold square would be washed away.

The reason why Xu You was willing to deign to come to see Liu Yan was precisely for this reason. If he is really bold and reckless of the consequences, he would rather be punished by the law of the country, lose both, and destroy the gold fang, although Xu You is not afraid, he doesn't want to go crazy with him, and there is no extra time to waste on him.

This is Xu You's first time climbing Xiaoqu Mountain, compared to Mingyu Mountain, Gushan Mountain and Longshi Mountain, Xiaoqu Mountain is like the difference between the Hanmen and the scholars. In addition to the bamboo forest is acceptable, the mountain is not steep, the stone is not strange, the ordinary extreme, especially affected by the karst terrain, everywhere are large and small karst caves, like a tattered picture scroll, no matter how there is a wonderful brush, can not draw the beauty that should be.

Halfway up the mountain, a large piece of land that has just been leveled, a few houses built temporarily, and dozens of slaves and craftsmen are busy digging and moving stones to lay the foundation, Liu Yan is lying on a brocade couch, surrounded by thick wind-sheltering curtains on three sides, in front of him is a black lacquered mahogany table, on which are placed a variety of rare and exotic fruits transported from the South Seas, the Western Regions, the North and other places, four or five beautiful maids or kneading their shoulders and pinching their legs, or feeding by mouth, the grandeur is incomparable.

"Xu Langjun, rare guest, why do you have time to climb my mountain gate today?"

Xu You stood with his hands in his hands, looked around, and said with a smile: "I heard that Liu Langjun has won this treasure land, and I have come to congratulate you!" ”

"Oh," Liu Yan looked left and right, and said, "Have you ever seen a guest congratulating each other empty-handed?" ”

Left and right sneered in unison: "No! ”

Xu You smiled, his complexion did not change, and said: "There are congratulatory gifts, but they are too valuable, and they can only be given to those who know the goods!" ”

Liu Yan laughed, got up from the couch, was barefoot and wearing clogs, and was not afraid of the cold, walked over and pulled Xu You to the curtain, and said, "We are old friends, what kind of congratulatory gifts, don't you see the outside?" ”

Xu You walked over with him and sat down, and said, "Just because they are friends, the congratulatory gifts must not be less, nor too light!" He pointed to the crowd of construction workers, changed the topic, and said, "Is Liu Langjun ready to do a lot of construction in this mountain?" ”

"Hey, I'm not afraid of Lang Jun laughing, the inside of Qiantang City is too narrow, no matter how many houses you enter, you always look stingy. When I was in Guangzhou, I built a house on the mountain, more than 1,000 houses, one day from the east courtyard can not walk to the west courtyard, which is like here, the front door you say a word loudly, the back door can be heard clearly, the master and the subordinate live together, there is no humiliation of identity! ”

This refers to Sang scolding Huai, Xu You went in and out of his left ear, but he didn't hear it, and praised with a smile: "Liu Langjun's status is noble, and it should be like this!" ”

Liu Yan was stunned, knowing that Doukou was not Xu You's opponent, so he laughed again and said, "What kind of noble family am I?" If it weren't for the money, it would be no different from a dog! Come on, come on, try the wine I brought back from the Western Regions, which is different from the soil of Jiangdong! ”

Xu You declined and said: "I have never liked to drink, besides, a glass of wine from the Western Regions is worth a thousand dollars, so it is a pity for me, a layman who does not drink, to drink it!" ”

Liu Yan picked up the wine in the glass, and poured it on the chest of the beautiful maid beside her, the crystal wine flowed down the snow-white skin into the shallow gully, the beautiful maid was shy, but stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked the corners of her lips gently, her demeanor was soft and provocative.

"Wine beauty, why pity?" Liu Yan picked up another glass, handed it to Xu You, squinted his eyes and said: "Xu Langjun is known as the night light, and his demeanor is a little more beautiful than the beauties around me, which is a good match for this good wine." Drink! ”

Liu Yan was very restrained when dealing with Xu You before, and even if there was a lot of resentment in his heart, he always maintained basic kindness on the surface. Today, perhaps because he felt that he had taken the initiative, the restraint he had once released unabashedly was not only full of aggression and oppression, but also his words were presumptuous, and he didn't take Xu You in his eyes.

Xu You took the wine glass, put it to his nose and sniffed it, shook his head and said: "Although I don't like to drink, I know a little bit about wine, just look at the color and richness of the things in the cup, you can know that it is brewed from arrowroot in Ningyue and other places, which is completely different from the grapes of Huzhong in the Western Regions." Liu Langjun, where did you buy the wine, will you be fooled by those profiteers? ”

Liu Yan was stunned, the wine was indeed bought from merchants from the south to the north, it is said to be a good wine from the Western Regions, it is rare in Middle Earth, and it is even rarer in Jiangdong, but listening to Xu You's words is not like nonsense, could it be that he was really deceived?

"Xu Langjun said with a smile, wine is made from grapes, what does it have to do with what kind of arrowroot?"

Xu You smiled slightly: "There is a tree in the south, and the kudzu is tired." The so-called kudzu is a grape. Hasn't Liu Langjun read Mao's poems? Oh, that's right, a noble person like Liu Langjun looks down on Mao's poems, which are collected from the songs of the common people. ”

Liu Yan was speechless by sarcasm, he really didn't read, let alone Mao's poems, and he didn't even know how to refute it. Xu You is so poisonous that he will not give up easily, and said: "Then, I have always read "Taishi Gongshu", right?" According to the records in the "Taishi Gongshu", the grapes you are referring to are the Hu species introduced by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, which is slightly different from the Chinese soil species, but after thousands of years of planting and improvement, the current grape soil species are far better than the Hu species in the Western Regions, and the wine produced can be undefeated for decades. It's not my bad Lang Jun's interest, this merchant who sells your wine is not only treacherous, but also treats Lang Jun as a complete fool, instead of using the improved soil grapes to pretend to be the wine of the Western Regions, but uses the wine made from wild grapes like arrowroot to deal with things, which is simply a conscience! ”

"Impossible!"

Liu Yan's face was flushed, he poured himself a glass of wine, tasted the aftertaste, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, slammed, threw the wine glass to the ground, and said angrily: "Dog, dare to lie to me!" ”

Xu You's eyes were full of pity, and he said, "I hope Lang Jun didn't buy too much...... Otherwise, if the money is gone, it will be embarrassing! ”

Liu Yan was so angry that he suddenly turned around and slapped the beautiful maid in the face, saying, "Get out!" ”

The beautiful maid covered her swollen pretty face, she didn't even dare to cry, she lowered her head and retreated quickly with a few other maidservants, leaving only Xu You and Liu Yan to sit facing each other.

It's just that at this moment, Liu Yan no longer has the arrogance just now, Xu You sits quietly, not moving like a mountain, the smile on his face is light, in Liu Yan's eyes, it is really hateful.

"Read more books in the future, there is a golden house in the book, don't suffer losses and don't be fooled, you can't rely on brute force to do business!"

Xu You made up another knife slowly, Liu Yan's eyes erupted with anger, if possible, he was willing to pay any price, bury Xu You under this Xiaoqu Mountain, and then set foot on 11,000 feet!
