Chapter 157: Zhang Peng, who wants to collect Yishui
"I didn't expect this Fan Yang Lu family's scheming to be so deep. He put on a cloak of hypocrisy for himself. Yuan Tiangang said to Li Ke.
"Yes, the last few times I deliberately provoked those families, and finally succeeded in getting rid of them. It seems that in Mizhou City, this method may not work. Li Ke nodded and said.
"Lord, the Lu family in Mizhou uses the people as their protective umbrella, and what they are afraid of is that the court will charge him with oppressing the people."
"So if the Lord wants to uproot the Lu family in Mizhou, he can only find another way. However, this Lu Xiangzhong's son Lu Gang should be able to become a breakthrough for the Lord. Mizhou Chenghuang said.
"I wonder what is different about this Lu Gang? It can be used as a breakthrough for this king. Li Ke opened his mouth and asked Mizhou Chenghuang.
Although Lu Xiangzhong is strict in disciplining his family, he will never allow them to do anything that is detrimental to the interests of the family. Therefore, Lu Gang is usually very low-key, and often helps people in difficulty. ”
But he has a fatal flaw, that is, this Lu Gang is addicted to gambling. He is a frequent visitor to several of the city's major casinos. However, Lu Gang's gambling skills are very clever, and he rarely loses. ”
And every time he wins, Lu Gang will use the money to help the people. Therefore, this Lu Gang's reputation in Mizhou City is also very good. ”
"If the Lord can win this Lu Gang at the table, this Lu Gang will definitely not be convinced. So the prince has a chance to let this Lu Gang fall into the trap. Mizhou Chenghuang opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.
"Then apart from this Lu Gang, is there anyone else who can be used as a breakthrough?" Li Ke nodded and asked Mizhou Chenghuang.
Mizhou Chenghuang said without hesitation: "The second person who can be used as a breakthrough is the wife of Wang Hongliang, the assassin of Mizhou. The wife of this Mizhou assassin is Lu Xiangzhong's own sister, called Lu Hui. ”
"This Lu Hui has been married to Wang Hongliang since she gave birth to a son and a half daughter for Wang Hongliang. So I love this Lu Gangna, and even doting on him to the point of perversion. ”
"As long as the Lord can thwart Lu Gang, this Lu Gang will inevitably cry to his aunt. At that time, the Lord will definitely be able to use this aunt and nephew to make Lu Xiangzhong throw a rat trap. Even if you take out the Mizhou Lu family. It's not necessarily impossible. ”
"It's a pity that this king is not proficient in gambling, how can he win Lu Gang, who has superb gambling skills?" Li Ke said helplessly.
Although Li Ke has been a human being in two lives, whether it is in the previous life or in this life, Li Ke has never been in contact with gambling. Even regular poker is rarely played.
"Lord, there really is a gambling master in this Mizhou City. As long as the prince can invite him, he will definitely make this Lu Gang lose all his wealth. ”
"And if the Lord can take it for his own use, I am afraid it will also be a great help to the prince. Because this person is not only good at gambling, but also good at martial arts. ”
"The most important thing is that this person has a dual cultivation of medicine and poison. It can kill people thousands of miles away, and it can also rejuvenate and heal the bones of life. Mizhou Chenghuang opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.
Hearing Mizhou Chenghuang say that there was such a strange person, this couldn't help but make Li Ke very happy. If you can take such a person for your own use, it will really be like having a medical practitioner.
So he opened his mouth and asked Mizhou Chenghuang: "I don't know where you said this person is, and who is his surname?" ”
"Lord, this man is a thief in Yishui. There are hundreds of water thieves under his command, and these water thieves are all proficient in water, and they come and go in the water without a trace......"
Before Mizhou Chenghuang finished speaking, Li Ke opened his mouth and asked, "The person you are talking about is Yishui Zhang Peng?" ”
"What the lord said is right, and it is this Zhang Peng that the subordinates are talking about. I don't know how the Lord learned about this Zhang Peng? Mizhou Chenghuang opened his mouth and asked Li Ke.
Li Xuan, who was on the side, told Mizhou Chenghuang in detail how he met Zhang Peng. He also told Mizhou Chenghuang that Zhang Peng's people lived in his shop.
"It seems that the Lord and Zhang Peng are really destined, maybe this is what God is destined for. This Zhang Peng will change his ways because of the Lord. Mizhou Chenghuang said after listening.
"In that case, this king should also visit Zhang Peng's subordinates." Li Ke nodded and said.
"If the Lord has any explanation, you can call your subordinates at any time. The subordinates should not delay too long in the Lord's place, lest they arouse the suspicion of the treasurer. Mizhou Chenghuang opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.
"Go and get busy with you, the king is looking for someone to call you over." Li Ke nodded and said to Mizhou Chenghuang.
Mizhou Chenghuang saluted Li Ke again, and then opened the door and walked out of Li Ke's room. But as he walked, he shouted: "A few guest officers don't need to worry, the little ones will go and find you some good wine." ”
When Mizhou Chenghuang returned to the front hall, he saw the shopkeeper's gloomy face. So he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, there are a few gods of wealth in our store now." ”
Hearing Mizhou Chenghuang's words, the expression on the shopkeeper's face eased somewhat. And asked Mizhou Chenghuang: "What kind of person can make you call the God of Wealth." ”
Mizhou Chenghuang smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "The guest officers who lived in the cross-courtyard just now think that the wine we took is not good enough. Let the little one exchange him for a few jugs of good wine. ”
"Your kid usually sees people very accurately, why does he think he is the God of Wealth just by ordering a few bottles of good wine today?" The shopkeeper asked.
"How do you know the shopkeeper? These guest officers directly threw out dozens of dollars. And tell the little ones that it doesn't matter how much money the wine is, as long as it's good. So the little one was going to buy him a jar of jade liquid elixir. Mizhou Chenghuang whispered to the shopkeeper.
This jade liquid elixir is not an ordinary rice wine, but a sorghum wine made from sorghum by Li Jiang using the distillation technology provided by Li Ke. The alcohol has reached about 50 degrees.
The price of ordinary rice wine was also very expensive in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise poets such as Li Bai and Wang Wei would also write about wine fighting in their poems. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, wine was not something that the people could afford to drink.
(The price of wine in the Tang Dynasty cannot be verified, and the dragon soul is set as a consistent money jar of wine.) The weight of a jar of wine is about eight catties. )
And the price of this jade liquid elixir has reached ten yuan per jar. But it's ten times more than ordinary rice wine. Those who can drink this jade liquid elixir are probably either rich or expensive. It's definitely not surprising to call him the God of Wealth.
Hearing Mizhou Chenghuang say this, this couldn't help but make the shopkeeper very happy. And opened his mouth to ask Mizhou Chenghuang: "We have never sold jade liquid elixir, I don't know how much money is appropriate to charge him?" ”
"How much money buys and how much money sells him, how can such a guest be short of money. As long as we entertain them to the satisfaction of the guests, this reward will definitely not be less. Mizhou Chenghuang said to the shopkeeper with a smile.
The shopkeeper nodded and said with a smile: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, as long as these guest officers are happy, even if it is the dragon liver and phoenix marrow, we will go and find it for him." ”
