Chapter 379: Plan Ahead

Pei Qian then spoke:

"When there is no conflict of interest, the three families are in the same breath and advance and retreat together, if there is a conflict of interest, hehe, those so-called scholars are better than a group of wild dogs who see."

Pei Ji seemed to be a lot more relaxed when he saw his brother,

Only then did he speak:

"Haha, big brother, although your analogy is vulgar, it is very appropriate."

Pei Qian said seriously:

"This sycophant is still in school"

Pei Ji smiled and scratched his head.

Pei Qian then said seriously:

"Wen Heng, you are very smart, and some things don't need me to order too thoroughly. Our three major scholar clans in Hedong, although united externally, but don't forget, Jingzhao's Wei clan and Du clan are not easy to match, plus among Lu Bu's close ministers, Xun You and Zhong Xiang of Yingchuan, the family behind them is also not to be looked down upon, especially Zhong Xuan's old guy, but before the focus of the family was moved to Guan Zheng, Lu Bu sent Zhang Yan and others to govern Guanzhong, although his position of Zhong Xuan is just a state capital counselor, but there is no meaning of simmering, you know, The Zhong family was not only one of the first scholars to follow Lu Bu, but also his Zhong Xuan had a close relationship with Lu Bu's teacher and father-in-law, Cai Yong. ”

Pei stopped after diving these,

Pick up a wine glass,

Drink the wine in the glass,

Only then did Pei Qian open his mouth and continue:

"And in addition to his Zhong family, Du Ji of the Jingzhao Du family is also in a high position in Bingzhou, and he is also one of the first people to follow Lu Bu, and the Jingzhao Wei family is not an easy person, there are so many strong enemies outside our three families, and the three families are not in harmony. In this case, my father has thought many times that we are just too excessive, in the end, now in this state, although our Pei family can be regarded as a first-class wealthy family, but the background is not comparable to the Wei family and the Zhong family, and now the official hat is not as good as the Xun family and the Du family, which is the most embarrassing situation. On weekdays, he puts some silver money in his pocket, and under the general trend, he Lu Bu is not easy to take us under the knife, but if he is caught under his nose, it will be boring. ”

Pei Ji's eyebrows furrowed tightly,

He's not that kind of wine bag rice bag,

Contrary

Among Pei Mao's four sons,

He Pei Ji is the most intelligent and most valued by Pei Mao,

Send him here to be the magistrate,

It is based on the importance and cultivation of him,

You must know that although the location of Yulu County is relatively remote,

However, due to its location in the central artery,

It is also a place where oil and water are very abundant,

Pei Ji can be the chief officer of the cluster,

It was the Pei family who spent blood to snatch food from the mouths of other scholars.

Pei Ji raised his head and looked directly at Pei Qian:

"Big brother, brother knows the severity. Uncle Zhong has already gone to clean up the tails from before, so I will immediately send people to catch up with Uncle Zhong, so that they will not kill him, but just hide those three hundred people for the time being. ”

Pei Qian nodded at this point,

There was also a sinister smile on his face,

Before Pei Ji ordered the three hundred people to be disposed of,

In fact, the death sentence of the three hundred rao was pronounced.

In the midst of today's troubled times when the people are like mustard,

It's not a shocking thing.

In order to climb,

Which family is not covered with blood on their hands,

What's more, for the sake of the family,

Kill only the ordinary soldiers who are like outcasts,

But this is not the same as it used to be,

Lu Bu has always paid attention to the army,

And he is even more lenient with his soldiers,

Reselling smuggled weapons, which is a felony crime of raiding homes and destroying people,

For a big family like the Pei family,

Maybe it won't be raided,

But if you add one,

In order to destroy the evidence,

The crime of killing 300 soldiers,

Then his Pei family has come to an end.

There is no impermeable wall for this kind of thing,

It's good if it doesn't reach Lu Bu's ears,

But everything is afraid of a just in case,

This is exactly what their Pei family can't afford.

Pei Qian looked at Pei Ji and immediately sent people to chase after Pei Zhong,

Only then did he stand up with a relieved heart,

Duster's somewhat wrinkled clothes said:

"That's good, I have to rush back as soon as possible, Lu Bu is out on patrol this time, and the specific path is unknown, and now we can only passively do everything to deal with."

Pei Ji stood up and sent him off,

The two brothers exchanged pleasantries,

Pei Qian left in a hurry again.

Pei Ji looked at his brother's back for a long time and was silent,

After standing there and muttering for a long time,

After another series of orders were given to his subordinates,

Only then did he walk towards the study with a solemn face,

This time, he no longer had the leisure to listen to music and enjoy dancing.

In every place there is a distinction between rich and poor,

Every city also has so-called poor areas and rich areas.

Just as there are always shadows under the sun,

No matter how rich it is,

There will still be many poor people at the bottom,

The northern part of Yulu County,

It's the slums here,

More than 70% of the population of the entire county lives here.

However, all of these people are poor people living at the lowest level.

Fang Lin, a rich boy who changed into ragged clothes,

Following behind the scar-faced young man Lu Er,

The look on his face was a little frightened,

Wen Hou, who is alias Lu Er, slowly walked in this slum,

His eyes were full of scenes that seemed unsightly to him,

Scrawny men and women,

Sitting or standing with no eyes in sight,

A blank and numb expression on his face,

Ren is a cheerful and sunny person to see,

will also be inexplicably heavy.

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched slightly several times,

From Fang Lin's position,

can clearly see Lu Bu's cold and hard side face,

Apparently he's in a very bad mood right now.

Fang Lin said with some restraint:

"Lord, Lord......"

Lu Bu came back to his senses at this time,

Turning to look at Fang Lindao:

"Has Guanzhong fallen to this step now?"

The expression on Fang Lin's face was not very good-looking,

He lowered his head slightly and said softly:

"Today's Yulu County is still a better place, and in other corners of Guanzhong, there are even occasional cases of Yizi eating now......"

Lu Bu closed his lips tightly,

And the state used to be poor,

It's not like he's never seen this kind of misery at this moment,

A lot of children who should have been really good,

But at this time, because of hunger and malnutrition,

The limbs are as thin as matchsticks,

but the belly is swollen and swollen,

It looks terrible,

That's because there's really nothing to eat.

They can only feed their hunger by gnawing on tree bark and even Guanyin soil,

Those things are in them,

The result of not being able to digest it.

"How many people are there?"

Lu Bu's steps as he walked forward became heavier and heavier,

What you see and hear in this slum,

In today's annexed states,

is a situation that is simply not possible,

Guanzhong has also belonged to him for a while,

However, what he didn't expect was that

In this relatively prosperous Yulu County,

The slums here are still so miserable.

Lu Bu took a deep breath,

barely calmed down his irritable mind,

He didn't take out the money he had.

Distributed to the poor who looked at him with longing and pleading eyes,

Nor those who follow behind him,

Skinny children who don't even have clothes to cover their bodies,

It's not that his heart is as cold as iron,

But he knows very well,

These people don't need a full meal or two.

What they need is hope to be able to live.

Although it is a warm and warm April at this moment,

The sun spreads warmly over the earth,

Even in the dark and damp slums,

At this moment, under the light of the sun,

It's also rare to have a little bit of vitality to radiate,

However, Fang Lin, who was following Lu Bu,

At this moment, it seems to be in the cold winter of the number nine,

Feel a heavy chill from the inside out,

Fortunately, it didn't take long,

The chill dissipated,

But Fang Lin was even more worried,

Because, he knows,

This kind of withheld emotion,

Once it erupts in the future,

It's only going to be more terrifying.

Lu Bu asked softly:

"Where is that man now?"

Fang Lin hurriedly took two steps forward,

Whispered:

"Fifty steps ahead, turn right and the third shack is Narao's address."

Lu Bu nodded slightly,

The speed of the foot is quickened,

It seems to want to get away from this dreary and suffocating place as soon as possible.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to that corner one after the other.

Just as he was about to turn to the right,

Suddenly a middle-aged man dressed as a beggar,

ran in front of the two in a panic,

After Fang Lin saw this person,

The complexion is a little ugly,

The middle-aged beggar fell to the ground,

It's like I'm exhausted,

But low, fast words came out of his mouth:

"There has been a change in the escort troops in Yuqian Town."

At the end of the word,

The middle-aged beggar struggled to his feet,

Raising a stained hand,

Stretched out to Lu Bu to ask for money,

The mouth is slurred:

"Master, it's okay, I haven't eaten for a few days......

Lu Bu raised his head as if he didn't see him,

Fang Lin stepped forward in disgust,

Kicked the beggar like a wicked servant,

He also scolded in his mouth:

"Something that doesn't have long eyes, get out of here!"

The middle-aged beggar was kicked twice,

Crawling away from the cluster,

Fang Lin hurriedly whispered:

"Lord, this man is ......"

"I know."

Lu Bu said in a deep voice,

He naturally knew that the middle-aged beggar must be one of the shadows in this Yulu city.

The information he brought just now,

is what he cares about,

"It seems that we can't go to him for the time being, let's go and see Yuqian Town first."

Fang Lin nodded,

While speeding up the pace to lead the way,

While lowering his voice, he said softly:

"Don't worry, there are always people watching here, and they won't let that guy have problems."

Lu Bu nodded and didn't speak,

There was a faint look of worry in his eyes,

He thought of the stout man named Feng Xi,

Before, his name Fang Lin sent someone to find this person,

It stands to reason that Feng Xi and the escort team,

At this time, you should turn back to Yulu City to restore your life,

After going through the formal process,

There are no surprises,

Don't......

Is it his whereabouts that are exposed?

Lu Bu suddenly had this thought in his mind,

But after thinking about it,

It shouldn't be the reason,

His previous identity was disguised through his secret heart,

And this time the micro-service went on patrol,

Although it is not very secretive,

But there are only a few people who know the details of their whereabouts.

Perhaps, it's just the Pei family's precautionary move,

After all, the three wealthy families in Hedong,

In this level,

It's not an ordinary huge force,

They have been able to stand here for more than 100 years,

There must be a reason for it.

But since I can't think of a clue,

Just don't waste too much energy,

When you get there, you can naturally figure it out,

Lu Bu left the distracting thoughts behind,

Quickened his pace and left the cluster with Fang Lin.

Lu Bu the shack they were going to go to before,

A young down-and-out scholar,

Slowly pushed open the dilapidated wooden door,

Slowly and methodically took the plank gently,

It seems that with a little force,

will shake the plank off the heart,

Although the scholar has a yellow face and thin muscles,

But there is no trace of distress between the eyebrows,

The face is not very handsome,

But it's not ugly,

With a square scarf tied around his head,

The hair is meticulously groomed,

A robe is already washed white,

I can't see the original color at all,

But it is unusually clean,

The whole Rao temperament is also full of elegance,

Out of place in the surrounding slums.

The scholar raised his head and looked up at the sun in the sky,

Stretch out a hand to block out some of the dazzling sunlight,

A faint smile on his face,

In the light of the sun,

It was as if it had been plated with a layer of golden light.

The young man slowly lowered his head,

still has that faint smile on his face,

Walking briskly in one direction,

He was a poor teacher,

In this ghetto is an outlier,

Everyone knows that there is such a person as him,

Originally, he didn't have to live in a cluster,

Where he preached,

Although it's just an ordinary private school,

But give him such a teacher,

Provide a place to stay,

It's not that hard.

But this poor scholar from a foreign country,

but declined the kindness of the old gentleman in the private school,

With his own meagre income, he bought a shack in this slum,

According to his law,

Though this shack is dilapidated,

But at least it's where it belongs to him,

He himself lived comfortably.

Those who were originally in the slums,

are very unaccustomed to the existence of such a maverick young man,

But though he was in relative condition to the other poor,

To be a little stronger,

But this scholar is not like other readers.

Look down on these poor people,

Instead, they will have what little income they have left,

Helping as many neighbors as possible,

It's been more than half a year,

The people of this ghetto,

all accept and respect this young poor scholar,

For this lifeless ghetto,

It brings a hint of vitality and sunshine.

It's almost time for the lesson,

The young man's pace quickened a lot,

But it doesn't seem to have a hint of panic,

Instead, he continued to respond to the people around him one by one.

There is always that warm smile on his face,

It's like the sun shining down from the sky at this moment.
