Chapter 53: Wrath
A Xuan-rank guard led by him knelt on one knee in front of Lu Shang and said in a deep voice, "What do you command?!" ”
"Ahh The victims of the disaster were stunned, never expecting that this seemingly ordinary old man was actually the owner of the land valve! Situ of the current dynasty who has been megatron for decades, Lu Shang, the Duke of Anguo!
With a hula, the victims all knelt down, and no one dared to raise their heads and look at Lu Shang more. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Those servants who were taken down by Lu Xin were even more shocked, and they were shaking like chaff one by one. The few who directly insulted Lu Shang just now were even more frightened and incontinent, and fainted directly.
"You go and call Lu Jian," Lu Shang coldly ordered one of the guards: "No, all eight deacons are coming, immediately!" ”
"Yes!" The guard immediately took the order and left.
"Wake them up!" Lu Shang commanded coldly.
A Xuanjie guard stepped forward and kicked over a large water tank, and the full tank of water poured into the slaves lying on the ground, soaking them all over in an instant! The slaves were full of water and choked and coughed, and now they all came to their senses.
"The valve master spares our lives, we are just errands, and we don't know anything!" The servants pleaded with snot and tears, how could they still have half a majestic appearance?
"It's not your responsibility," Lu Shang looked at those poor slugs with disgust, and asked coldly, "Who should the old man trouble with?" ”
The servants are already frightened, and they can't wait to pass the blame away, and they will cover up for others. Hurriedly gossiping: "Find firewood to do things!" Every day, he sends food, and we boil as much as we send! ”
"Yes, Sect Master. The food sent by the firewood steward is getting less and less day by day, and we can only boil as much as we want, it's none of our business! ”
"Where is he now?" Lu Shang interrupted their ramblings.
"I know," replied a slave who had just gone to the Changtong wharf to pick up the grain, "and he came much later than usual to-day, and after unloading the grain, he went on his way east!" After a pause, he added: "When we got on the ship to unload, we saw that the ship was full of grain, but we didn't know what he was going to do with it!" ”
"What the boat looked like, do you remember?" Lu Shang asked in a deep voice.
"Remember, remember, of course remember." Seeing the hope of survival, the slave replied in a loud voice: "He uses the same ship every day to transport grain, and the slave will recognize the ship at a glance!" ”
"You guys take him and chase that boat, and you must capture that firewood steward alive!" Lu Shang ordered a few more guards, and finally added: "He must not be allowed to destroy the evidence!" ”
"Yes!" Several of the guards picked up the servant and sped away.
"You lead someone to Tongluocang and bring the on-duty and grain accounts!" Lu Shang gave two orders to the two guards one after another. "You take someone to take over the other three porridge factories immediately, and bring all the people in charge here." After a pause, Lu Shang said in an accentuated tone: "At the same time, immediately re-boil the porridge!" Remember, even if it is only nine catties and nine two meters, the old man will cut off your head! ”
"Yes!" The two guards responded solemnly and also galloped away.
Immediately after finishing a series of instructions, Lu Shang sighed tiredly.
Lu Xin moved a chair behind him, Lu Shang nodded slightly, sat down and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
。
Several deacons of the land valve had just returned home from the court, and before they even had time to take off their official uniforms, they were notified by the guards around the lord of the valve, ordering them to rush to Luonan Tongle Fang immediately!
They wanted to find out what was going on, but the other party only said that they didn't know, and that they would know when they arrived. Several deacons had no choice but to quickly order someone to prepare a car and go out. When I arrived at Luoshui Bridge, I found that there were many of the eight deacons, and all of them were called out.
"What the hell is going on?" Several deacons asked each other, but most of them were confused. Only Lu Jian vaguely felt that something should have happened to the porridge factory. Because of the four porridge factories of the land valve, one of them is located in Tongle Fang.
"Get Chai Jinbao." Lu Jian frowned, and ordered the people around him to quickly call the firewood steward over, he had to ask about the situation, so as not to be at a loss in front of the valve owner later.
However, until he arrived at Tongle Fang, he didn't see the figure of the chai manager, and Lu Jian's heart couldn't help but be clouded.
The eight deacons entered Tongle Fang together, and sure enough, they saw that there was a crowd of people outside the porridge factory, in addition to the disaster victims, but also full of people watching the excitement.
The eight deacons all knew now that something big must have happened to the porridge factory, otherwise how could the sect master call all eight of them?
Lu Jian's heart is getting tighter and tighter, but he can only take one step at a time.
Seeing a troop of land-lord's carriages coming, the people hurriedly moved out of the way, and the scene of commotion fell silent.
On the carriage, eight extraordinary, noble and calm men came down, six of them were wearing purple robes and gold belts around their waists, and they were all high-ranking officials!
The people couldn't help but secretly peep at these rare big people, and secretly said: "I'm afraid that the high-level leaders of the land valve are here, it seems that their lord is really angry!" ’
The eight deacons were in no mood to pay attention to these grass people, and all entered the porridge factory with serious expressions.
As soon as I entered, I saw the valve owner sitting on a chair with a black face, dressed in a cloth suit. Lu Xin was also dressed in cloth and stood behind him.
In front of the two of them, kneeling were seven trembling servants of the land lord. There were five cauldrons on the stove next to it, four of which were boiling porridge, and the white air was rising from the pot, and another pot was not lit under it for some reason.
The eight deacons hurriedly saluted the lord of the valve, but Lu Shang raised his hand, looked at Lu Jian with cold eyes and said, "Lu Jian, you are the deacon of my Lu Valve's branch, responsible for all expenses in the clan. Two months ago, when the old man ordered you to provide disaster relief, what did you say?! ”
"Back to the sect master," Lu Jian hurriedly replied loudly: "At that time, the sect master instructed to set up four porridge factories in Beijing for relief, and each porridge factory had five cauldrons. Each bite cooks twelve pots of porridge a day, and each pot has ten catties of rice! ”
"Ahh There was a commotion among the victims. Before, when Lu Shang said it to them, they were only shocked, but now that the person in charge said this, they were full of anger.
"How did you promise the old man at the time?!" Lu Shang asked in a deep voice.
"My nephew promises not to compromise and complete the tasks assigned by the sect master until the victims are properly settled!"
"And how did you do that?!" Lu Shang asked coldly.
"Of course, my nephew didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately handed it over and sent someone to check it regularly, so as not to mess up with the next people!" Lu Jian hurriedly arrived.
"So, you've never been to Luonan to see it?" Lu Shang snorted.
"When the porridge factory first opened, my nephew came here. Seeing that everything was in order, he was relieved to give it to the next person to do it. Lu Jian said with a guilty face: "Recently, Shangshu Province has been busy with disaster relief, and my nephew, the household servant, has no skills, and he has indeed not come over for a while. ”
"Then let's take a good look!" Lu Shang looked at the cauldron and said coldly: "Look at the good porridge cooked by the people below you!" ”
"Yes." Lu Jian hurriedly stepped forward, looked into the pots, and was stunned.
"You're going to check it out, too!" Lu Shang glanced at the other seven deacons.
When the seven of them arrived at the stove, they saw that in the four bubbling cauldrons, the porridge soup was crystal clear, and the rice grains tumbling up and down in it seemed to be able to count the number!
Looking at the gruel that couldn't be thinner, it couldn't be called porridge, and everyone now understood why the old lord was furious!
"What the hell is going on?!" Lu Jian's square face was blue and purple for a while, he had never been so ashamed and angry in his life. Turning his head sharply, staring at the damned minions!
"We're just on errands, and we can only cook as much porridge as we send from above." Several servants shouted: "Every day, the total number of dozens of catties of rice is sent, and if it is according to the rules, it will be enough to cook a pot of porridge, and then it can only boil water for the victims to drink......
"Yes, master, we are also worried about the clan, so we have to cook such a thin porridge......"
"Shut up!" Lu Jian was furious and said: "Don't you have to go to Tongluo Cang every day to pick up 20 stones of grain, and distribute it to each porridge factory, which is enough to be as much as five stones, how can there only be a few dozen catties of rice?" ”
"That's not what the minions should ask...... the slaves hurriedly said, "but it's true that only two sacks of rice are sent a day, and the victims can testify." ”
