Lu Xiangsheng didn't like the lobby of the Xuanfu very much. For no other reason, the former prefect of Xuanfu was made into a scarecrow and hung in the lobby, reminding the future at any time how dangerous officialdom is.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng was not worried that he would be hung up. Because he is not greedy, Emperor Chongzhen, who likes to make corrupt officials into scarecrows like Emperor Hongwu, will definitely not hang himself up. But watching that scarecrow dangling in the lobby every day is also very disturbing. So Lu Xiangsheng generally likes to stay in the back hall.

Today, there were two people who accompanied him to drink tea in the back hall. A person is tall, his hands are like a fan, his knuckles are thick, he is wearing a flying fish suit, and he is wearing an embroidered spring knife at his waist.

The other wears a pointed hat, a small silk tied around his waist, and a pair of white leather boots on his feet. Different from the brown clothes worn by the stall leaders of the East Factory, this person is wearing black, and other than that, it is no different from the head of the East Factory. This person has a gloomy expression, a white face and no beard, and he is the head of an internal factory.

The brocade-clothed guard Qianhu took a sip of tea and said, "Lord Lu, the evidence of the eight families has almost been obtained. As long as Jiannu retreats, he can send troops to encircle and suppress him.

This time, though, things are a little tricky. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was curious: "Oh? What else is there that makes you Jinyi Wei feel troublesome? ”

The brocade guard Qianhu said: "I don't hide it from you."

Gao came to Xuanfu this time and awakened the dark pillar that had been lurking in Fan's Mansion for six or seven years, but he got a lot of evidence.

News came today that a batch of grain and grass goods will be released from customs in the evening. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Good dog guts! If Jiannu besieges the city, these eight families will be selling their assets to the enemy! ”

Gao Qianhu said: "Your Majesty sent me to wait, isn't it just for this matter?" It's just that it's not easy to do today.

If you let go of this batch of materials, grain and grass, Gao will be unwilling and ashamed of Your Majesty.

If this batch of materials is intercepted, I am afraid that these eight dogs will jump off the wall and join Jiannu. It's Gao who feels tricky. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was also silent, and when he was still thinking about what to do, the head of the inner factory groaned slightly, but said: "Let go, let him go." ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qianhu looked at the stall head of the inner factory. But I heard him speak: "Drugged!" There is a unique secret medicine in the palace. This substance is refined from croton, colorless and tasteless, can be mixed with wine and food, and will only attack after taking it for a while. If there is no antidote, it is useless. ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qianhu scolded in their hearts: "What a vicious dead eunuch!" I didn't give birth to a son! "Looking back, I remembered that the eunuch couldn't give birth to a son, and if he did, it would probably be the king next door.

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, shook his head and said, "This matter can't be done." Then how could Jiannu not check? Besides, most of the people who did this were the henchmen of the eight families, how could they be willing to cooperate? ”

The Gao Qianhu smiled and said: "Governor Lu is a righteous gentleman, but my father-in-law Gao and Neichang are not."

As long as they catch the delivery person halfway through and want them to say something, they will say anything, and they will definitely not say more than half a word. ”

Lu Xiangsheng took a sign and said with a wry smile: "In this way, it will be annoying to the two of you."

The three of them took matters into consideration, and then went their separate ways.

In order to prevent accidents, Lu Xiangsheng summoned eight locust merchants to drink together in the name of raising food to resist slaves. But he thought that in case of failure, he would directly capture and kill him, and then follow the implementation of the policy, and directly encircle and suppress the entire clan of the eight locusts and merchants.

Gao Qianhu gathered the soldiers who could fight in the thousands of households, and the unknown inner factory stall took a few fans and went to the locust caravan to ambush on the road that the caravan must pass.

The two groups quietly ambushed in the woods outside the city for the same goal. It wasn't until the middle of the moon that the caravan of locust merchants came.

After the locust merchant all knelt on the ground, Gao Qianhu picked the steward out, and grabbed a small guy next to the steward, and brought it to the head of the inner factory together, saying: "These two people will be handed over to my father-in-law." Gao was fortunate today, and he saw the means in the palace. ”

When the man in charge heard this, he almost fainted.

What did he do, he naturally knew in his heart, and now that the factory guards are all here, I am afraid that it will be rare to have a good death.

The father-in-law of the inner factory smiled and said: "Brother Gao, don't worry, I will let you take a good look at our family's methods today." "I didn't see the femininity of the people in his words, but he was ruthless.

After speaking, he didn't look at the steward, but ordered someone to take the little guy aside and concoct it.

After all the means come down, the little guy is no longer human, but he still has a breath.

Gao Qianhu said to the person in charge: "You saw it all? ”

The person in charge was already scared half to death, and forcibly endured it so that there was no flow of feces and urine, and when he was about to nod his head like a chicken pecking rice, he said, "I saw it, I saw it." If the official has any orders, the little old man will definitely follow them, and he will never shirk the blame. ”

Gao Qianhu smiled: "It's nothing. What are you going to do in a while? "But the stall of the inner factory has already poured all the medicine into the wine and food in the caravan.

Seeing that the stall came back after taking medicine, Gao Qianhu said to the person in charge again: "Don't care what your relationship with Fan Yongdou is, as long as you cooperate today, Ben Qianhu and the father-in-law next to you will vouch for you, these people today, your family are safe and sound." If the news is revealed, you may be able to survive yourself, but all of your families, from the eighty-year-old mother to the fetus in the womb, will enjoy the same punishment as the man just now. ”

As he spoke, he motioned to the housekeeper to take a look at all the little servants, who still didn't breathe, but after seeing that he had suffered all the living sins, it was difficult to survive until dawn.

The secret concern of the steward, only because his sister is Fan Yongban's concubine, he was able to become the steward of this caravan, if Fan Yongdou fell, he might be able to go further. After all, once Fan Yongdou's group is wiped out, the vacancy left behind will definitely have to be filled. As for his sister?

The person in charge immediately said tentatively: "Official, the little one was also forced by that Fan Yongdou, so he had to do it." It's just that the villain also has a sister, who was forcibly accepted as a concubine by Fan Yongdou's old thing, and I don't know the official? ”

Without waiting for Gao Qianhu to speak, the stall head of the inner factory said: "A woman, it's okay, our family is in charge, and I let her go this time." When you come back, you can go with our family to identify it. ”

The person in charge got the promise, not only forced by the life of the whole family, but also blinded by the greed to replace Fan Yongdou, where is there any reason not to agree?

Immediately, he discussed with the other people in the caravan, and identified a few small people who were loyal to Fan Yongdou to come out, and asked the stall head of the East Factory to order someone to concoct it, bluffing the other small people in the caravoy, and then continued to take the caravan to the camp of Jiannu.
