The first of Lu Fei's counter-plans was to kill Steward Hu, but he still wanted to make it clear to Yunxiao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I think this Hu housekeeper will affect your Zhao family sooner or later, you better deal with it quickly," Lu Fei tentatively said.

"I don't have to worry about you, but I want to remind you that he doesn't seem to have good intentions towards you, he can do everything behind his back, you have to be careful" Yunxiao This is true, whether it is himself or the people of Susong County, he does not want any accidents in Lu Zhi County.

"Then you said that I would strike first, would you help me?" Lu Fei stared at Yunxiao tightly, he asked this because he regarded Yunxiao as the most trusted person, and she had to help with this.

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Lord Lu, you want to deal with the housekeeper of the Zhao family, but you came to me for help, are you too confident, don't forget, I am still the mistress of the Zhao family"

As soon as Yunxiao's words fell, Lu Fei hurriedly followed, "I'm helping you clean up the portal, let me tell you the truth, in fact, I get along well with Zhao Junma, but this Steward Hu always gets in the way, and from now on, I still have a lot of things to do with the Zhao family, and I don't want to see Steward Hu again."

Yunxiao smiled, "She is making trouble for you, it wasn't caused by your "Analects", you even bluffed and deceived him to take away 10,000 taels of silver, and you don't let people hate him."

Lu Fei smiled, "Wrong, it's not a lie, he bought it voluntarily, besides, I didn't put a single tael of this money in my pocket, and I used it all where it should be."

"You don't need to explain, you have been in office for more than a month, and you have taken 10,000 taels from Steward Hu, and when there was chaos, you raised tens of thousands of taels from the merchants in the city, and the Zhao family alone took 10,000 taels, if it weren't for your selfless sake, it would not have been possible to appear here today."

Lu Fei was slightly stunned, "The county lord is really well-informed, he can't hide anything from you without leaving home, what I and the county master will do in the future is definitely not for my personal selfish desires, I want to make the people of Susong rich and become the most wealthy county in the Tang Dynasty."

Yunxiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw his solemn appearance, "This is your idea of becoming a first-class magistrate?" ”

Lu Fei leaned closer, "County Lord, just say whether to help or not, the Zhao family doesn't have much of him, not a lot of him, for me, he may harm me."

Yunxiao knew that doing this was a bit of an elbow turning out, but seeing that Lu Fei said so righteously, he smiled and said, "If what Lord Lu said is true, I will go back and let him go, I don't need you to come forward, I can still do this in the Zhao family."

"No, it's not just Steward Hu, I'm going to use him to deal with someone, you just need to do me a small favor"

"I can help you, but you have to promise me that it will never affect the Zhao family"

"Don't worry, I swear, if I have any conspiracies against the Zhao family, I will not be able to marry a woman for the rest of my life."

Yunxiao smiled again, "Speaking of you, you're energetic again, how do you want me to help you?" ”

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows with joy, and even said with a gesture, Yunxiao couldn't stop nodding.

When Yunxiao was about to leave the flower hall and go home, he suddenly asked Lu Fei, "If I hadn't come to you today, what would you do?" ”

Lu Fei whispered, "Then I'll wait a few more days until you remember me."

Yunxiao's face turned red and he fled.

As soon as Yunxiao came out of the county office, Lu Fei rushed to Zhang Rake's camp non-stop.

Li Zhong, the deputy general of the Chinese army, was detained in a separate tent by Zhang Razi's personal soldiers, Li Zhong was full of thoughts at this time, and he didn't understand why Zhao Junma wrote this kind of ignorant so-called letter, why he had never mentioned it to him before, even if he really had this heart, it would save more trouble directly from the Ministry of War, which was good, and the matter had just begun to arouse General Zhang's vigilance, and this fate was played to death by Zhao Junma.

The more Li Zhong thought about it, the more he felt wronged, he was only in his early thirties, and he was in his prime, and he would have to build an attack on the battlefield in the future, and the old lady at home was waiting for him to return to his hometown.

Li Zhong walked to the door of the tent several times, wanting to go and talk to General Zhang again, it didn't matter to him at all, but he couldn't get out, and the door was full of Zhang Shen's die-hard cronies.

Outside the tent, Zhang Rake was walking towards Li Zhong's tent with a team of people, and Zhang Rake's face was full of murderous energy.

Li Zhong knelt down in front of Zhang Rake and said in a pleading tone, "General, has the matter of that letter been clarified?" Can it be justice?"

The corners of Zhang Rake's mouth raised, and he smiled contemptuously, "Justice? You still want justice, you secretly communicated with Zhao Junma behind my back, trying to harm me, and you still want me to give you justice."

"No, the last general has followed the general for so many years, don't you know who the last general is? Could this be someone else's provocative scheme, the last general is wronged, and he is willing to ask the general to let the last general confront the county horse master face to face"

Zhang Rake laughed, and slowly paced in front of Li Zhong with his hands on his hips, "I want to see him, you are dreaming, I remember that you have followed me from birth to death for more than ten years, and leave you a whole corpse, and after the bandits are calmed down, this general will be more generous, and give you the honor of sacrificing his life for the country, so that the old lady in your family can also receive a pension, which is already benevolent and righteous."

Li Zhong sat on the back of his feet, "General, you don't really want to kill me, do you?" ”

"What, do you think you're still alive?" Zhang rakezi sneered.

"Just because of this unprovoked letter? General, you can't just guess and kill the last general, can't you chill the hearts of your brothers by doing so? What are we people in your eyes? There must be a crime if there is no need, right? Li Zhong stood up, turned around, and turned his back to Zhang Rake, as if he was talking proudly before he died.

Zhang Rake glanced at the soldiers behind him, and immediately they hugged him, tied Li Zhong up with five flowers, and knelt in front of Zhang Rake.

"Li Zhong" Zhang Rake pointed to Li Zhong's nose, "Remember, I can tolerate my soldiers no matter what they look like, I will turn a blind eye, even if I violate the ban of the imperial court, I can cover up for you, but, you should never be tempted in front of this general, there is only one head in this military camp, this is the charge I gave you, rest assured, you are dead in the hands of bandits, I will give you credit in the fold of meritorious service, you are content" After speaking, Zhang Rake glanced at the soldiers on the side, A personal soldier immediately gagged Li Zhong's mouth and put the black hood that had been prepared long ago on Li Zhong's head, Li Zhong struggled, but only a muffled sound came from behind the black cloth.

"Pull farther away, bury him," Zhang Rake commanded softly.

Several pro-soldiers tightly pulled Li Zhong and was about to walk out of the tent, but he saw that the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a battalion soldier walked over, and said to Zhang Rakezi, "Report, general, Susongzhi County, I have something to see."

"Oh, where is the man, did he say anything?"

"Just outside the gate, he said that he came to meet the general for the matter of Vice General Li."

Zhang Rake thought about it, and said to the few people who were holding Li Zhong, "Put him here first, and then deal with it when I come back."

Lu Fei's equestrianism was only a half-ass, although he had several experiences, but when he arrived at Zhang Razi's camp, he had already fallen off his horse three times, and the wound on his hand was also cracked, staining a bright red blood mark on the gauze.

The battalion soldiers took Lu Fei to the big tent of the Chinese army, and around the big tent, there were many swords and guns, and it was majestic.

Zhang Rake stood on the steps outside the tent and laughed, "Lu Zhixian, why did your parents come to me again?"

Lu Fei threw the reins to the battalion army, climbed the stairs, looked nervous, seemed to ignore Zhang Rake's irrelevant nonsense, and walked directly into the big tent.

Zhang rake frowned, it seemed that something big had happened, and hurriedly followed.

As soon as Lu Fei walked into the tent, he looked around nervously.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, what are you looking for here?" Zhang Rake followed behind Lu Fei in confusion and patted him on the shoulder and asked.

Lu Fei looked left and right and whispered, "You don't have any outsiders, right?" ”

Zhang Rake also looked around, and said with a puzzled expression, "There are no outsiders, is there something wrong?" ”

"Big event, big thing, general, don't you see that I'm in a hurry?"

"What the hell is going on?" Lu Fei's actions startled Zhang Rake.

"Didn't you tell me that the Zhao family has been secretly transporting silver to the homes of the officials in the capital all these years?"

"What's wrong with this? You're going to be on the fold so quickly? Lu Zhixian is really resolute in doing things, you should be happy, it won't be long before the Zhao family loses power, and in the future, in Susong County, it is you Lord Lu who has the final say, haha, what do you have to be nervous about" Zhang Rake was a little nervous, and even more excited, it seemed that Lu Fei had fallen into his own trap.

Lu Fei stomped his feet again and again, sweating profusely, of course, this was all tired from riding a horse just now, "I haven't done it yet, but just now, the butler of the Zhao family came to tell me, saying that Zhao Junma already knew what I was going to do, and said that Zhao Junma was very angry, and he had to kill me, this, this, this is all you and you hurt me, general, you must help me."

Zhang Razi was very happy in his heart, if he took Lu Fei's head to find Zhao Junma now, how much credit would it make, but Zhang Rake also pretended to be worried about him on the surface, "Ah, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Rake was proud, and he thought that this must be the result of his own trip to Zhao Junma in the morning.

Lu Fei cried with a sad face and spread his hands, "How do I know, I'm just a little sesame official, where do I dare to fight with the county horse, so, so ......"

"So what?" Zhang Rake was curious.

"So I'll tell Steward Hu that you told me this" Lu Fei pursed his mouth and looked aggrieved.

"What!" Zhang rakezi roared.

Seven or eight pro-soldiers immediately rushed in from outside the camp, and Zhang Rake was furious and waved his hand, "All go out, no one is allowed to come in"

Zhang Rake walked back and forth restlessly in the big tent, clapping his hands, "You, you kid, you are too unkind, I'm helping you with kindness, why did you sell me as soon as you twisted your face, can you say this casually, it's over?"

Lu Fei came to his senses, "General, you have to be calm, now the two of us are tied to a rope, you can't run and you can't walk me, you have to find a way quickly, if it's too late, let King Ning know, it's not a joke."

Zhang Rake slapped the handsome case, "I still have you to tell me, why didn't I see it, you kid...... Alas, you're going to kill me."

Lu Fei was secretly proud, his face was like a child who had done something wrong, "I regret it now, but the matter has come out, your general is in power, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, I am counting on you to live now"

Zhang Rake waved his hand, "Fart, you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, our two wells don't interfere with the river water, go, you go"

Lu Feilian smiled, ran to the side of Zhang Rake, and wiped his back for him, "Yo yo, general, why are you bothering, we are facing the same enemy, don't be angry, calm down, with the general's scheming strategy of winning a hundred battles, dealing with a child of a family, I believe this is not a problem"

Zhang Razi said angrily, "It's easy to say, if this matter reaches the ears of King Ning, don't say it's you, it's me, a general with heavy troops, he will kill if he wants to."

"Why should a general increase the prestige of others"

"Five years ago, the Jiangxi prefect impeached Ning Wangfu for exceeding the system, and the excerpt died of a violent illness before he arrived in the capital, three years ago, the Jiangnan Provincial Imperial Envoy impeached King Ning for secretly manipulating the appointment and dismissal of officials in the ministry, and the excerpt was forced to press the cabinet for a month, and finally Lord Wang inexplicably resigned and returned to the country, and it was rumored that he was killed by bandits on the way, this King Ning is not what you can imagine, this time I was miserable by you."

"Then, the general can only sit back and wait for death"

"What else, Steward Hu is Zhao Junma's henchman, maybe Zhao Junma has already reported to King Ning now, it's too late"

Lu Fei suddenly laughed, "General, do you mean that as long as Steward Hu doesn't say it, then everything will be fine?" ”

Zhang Rake was stunned for a moment, calmed down and pondered for a moment, "Yes, but how could he not say it"

Lu Fei laughed and patted his ass, "The general is really worthy of both wisdom and bravery, a few words that seem to be complaining have already said the solution to the matter, Gao Jian, Gao Jian"

Zhang Rake was stunned, this, what kind of opinion is this, people with long heads can think of this, as long as Steward Hu doesn't talk nonsense, then this matter can really be saved.

"Lu Zhixian is saying that Steward Hu hasn't told Zhao Junma about this yet?" Zhang Rake showed a hint of surprise.

"I'm not sure about this, but before I came, Steward Hu had just left from the county government, and he was sitting in a sedan chair.

Hearing this, Zhang Rake stood up suddenly, turned around and ran towards the door of the big tent, now it was burning his eyebrows, and he didn't have time to think about the truth of this matter.

"General, General, where are you?" Lu Fei was overjoyed in his heart and deliberately shouted, he knew what Zhang Rake was going to do.

Zhang Rake ran out of the big tent and whispered to the soldiers at the door, "Look at him, don't let General Ben leave here until he comes back"

Zhang rakezi quickly came to the tent where Li Zhong was being held, and waved his hand to make all the soldiers retreat.

"Haha, Deputy General Li, you have been wronged, and General Ben has also been forced to be helpless, come, I will personally untie you" said Zhang Rake, and then stretched out his hand to untie the rope on Li Zhong's body with a smile.

Li Zhong was confused, "General, what does this mean?" Got things figured out? ”

Zhang Rake said with a smile, "We have been friends for more than ten years, in fact, I have never doubted your loyalty, but this happened suddenly, and I was also in a hurry, you must not hate me."

Li Zhong rubbed his wrist that was a little painful, and arched his hand, "The last general doesn't dare, thank you for the general's life."

Zhang Rake walked slowly in front of Li Zhong, "Li Zhong, don't you be busy thanking me first, in order to show your loyalty, I want you to do something for me now, are you willing?" ”

Li Zhong understood that this was the general's test of himself, and this was the only chance to dispel the general's doubts, so he hugged his fists and said, "The general commands, and the general will never give up"

Zhang Rake laughed, patted Li Zhong on the shoulder and said, "It's not that serious, it's a trivial matter for you."

As he spoke, Zhang Rake leaned close to Li Zhong's ear and said softly, "I want you to ride a fast horse now and rush to the road from Zhaojun Mafu to Susong City to kill someone."

"Kill whom?"

"Steward Hu of the Zhao Mansion, do you dare?"

Li Zhong was shocked in his heart, he really didn't dare to kill this person, but if he didn't go, he would only be afraid of death, so he had to stiffen his head and say softly, "Obey the order, the last general will go and get his head now."

"Steward Hu is a big celebrity in the Zhao Mansion, and he must have accompanied the guards, in this way, I will ask a few brothers to accompany you, remember, you must not leave a living mouth, let alone let people find out" Zhang Rake was afraid that Li Zhong would rebel halfway, so he specially arranged his own cronies by his side.

Li Zhong can also see that he has no two minds anyway, "Yes, if he has already returned home, how will he deal with it?" ”

Zhang Rake's face sank, "There is no if, if he doesn't die, you will die"

Li Zhong changed into the clothes of the common people, took four cronies of Zhang Rake, rode on a fast horse, and rushed out of the barracks as if he had hidden a sharp blade.

Zhang Rake looked at the figure of Li Zhong and the others leaving, smiled bitterly uneasily, and silently prayed that this matter would be done, as long as Li Zhong killed Steward Hu, it would kill two birds with one stone, not only to save himself, but also to let Li Zhong offend Zhao Junma, presumably Zhao Junma would not let Li Zhong replace him.

As soon as Yunxiao returned to the house, King Ning greeted him with a smile.

"Oh, my good daughter, where are you, you are crazy and have not come back until now, and you don't care if you throw your father down"

Yunxiao raised an eyebrow at him and snorted softly, "You don't want to take me home."

King Ning has several favorites, one is power, and the second is the daughter who loves Li Yan the most, and the old man of the Zhao family saw this point of King Ning at the beginning, so he had to do everything possible to promote the marriage between the two families, so as to better bring the relationship between the two families to a front.

Ning Wang Shi always smiled, "Didn't my father say it, this will be your home in the future, you see that this Zhao family has a lot of wealth, and its status is not an ordinary family, and it will not disgrace your identity as the county lord, you, just live here with peace of mind."

Yunxiao raised his chin, "Who is rare, besides, if there is no father and you, where would the Zhao family be today?"

King Ning laughed, "It's not important, for the sake of my precious daughter, can my father not let the Zhao family become strong?"

Yunxiao pursed his lips, raised his feet and entered the front hall, Zhao Junma had already arranged for people to contact the people in the court to remove Zhang Rake, and only a few people in the flower hall were busy.

"Go out, go out, go out, you, go and find Steward Hu for me" Yunxiao stood at the door of the front hall and said to the people, after speaking, he twisted his waist, found a chair and sat down, disdainfully said to his father, "Really?" You still want to hide it from me, it's so nice, you're helping yourself."

King Ning sat down beside Yunxiao, smiled and frowned, "At a young age, where did you come from so sophisticated, okay, okay, don't give birth to your father and be angry" Saying that, King Ning walked to the edge of the table, and there was a food box on the table.

"Come on, take a look, this is cooked by your mother's concubine, how much can you taste" The father took out the pastry from the food box and held it up in front of Yunxiao, smiling.

Yunxiao twisted his face, his mouth bulged, and deliberately duplicity, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, she will talk about it, and she won't come to see me."

When King Ning heard this, he immediately changed his expression of pity, stared at the pastry in his hand, and muttered to himself, "Oh, it seems that such a delicious thing is going to be wasted, it's just a tyrannical thing, who is that, I'm here to reward you" A subordinate who was sweeping the floor outside the Ning Dynasty Hall shouted softly.

"He dares, he also dares to eat the things made by my mother, bring it" Yunxiao immediately snatched the things from his father's hand, opened the oiled paper bag wrapped in it, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, with an indescribable sweetness on his face.

King Ning laughed, "What's the matter, your mother's craftsmanship is not wasted, or is it not the same as before?" ”

Yunxiao tasted the long-lost joy again, remembering that when she was at home before, every time the mother concubine made a cage of this kind of food, she was quickly snatched up by Yunxiao and other brothers, and it really fell into Yunxiao's mouth that was only a small and partial, whenever Yunxiao played the temper of the county lord because she didn't have a good time, the mother would always take out another part of the room that had been prepared for her daughter to enjoy the blessing of the tongue, and Yunxiao could snuggle up to the mother concubine as if no one was around, and taste it slowly.

And now to eat this kind of pastry that used to be rushed, although the taste in the mouth has not changed, but Yunxiao's mood can no longer find the happiness that he once had, and when he bites down, he can arouse her attachment to home and miss her mother, but although Yunxiao is dissatisfied with her father on the surface, she knows that her father has cared for her since she was a child, and she doesn't want her father to blame herself too much, so she smiled sweetly and nodded, "Well, it's delicious, I envy a few brothers, I can eat these things every day at home"

King Ning patted Yunxiao's shoulder, his face couldn't smile anymore, since he married Yunxiao to the Zhao Mansion, he had blamed himself deeply countless times, he sighed and said, "Your brothers can't eat anymore, this is the first time your mother has done it since you left, and I'm afraid it will be like this in the future."

Yunxiao put down the pastry, and the crystal light in his eyes sparkled, "Mother has always loved me, father, I beg you, just let me go back and see her, even if it's only for one day, okay?" Isn't it okay for the daughter-in-law of ordinary people to want to go back to her parents' house? ”

King Ning pulled Yunxiao over, Yunxiao squatted down beside King Ning, put his head on his father's lap, King Ning patted Yunxiao's back and said slowly, "Okay, as long as you stop making noise and leave the Zhao family, you can go to Ning Wangfu if you want to, your father has always not allowed you to go back to your parents' house casually, also out of helplessness, you must know how many people are watching the relationship between Ning Wangfu and the Zhao family, the only person who maintains this relationship is you, as soon as you leave, outsiders still think that there is some contradiction between Ning Wangfu and the Zhao family, people are terrible, Thou shalt be appreciative of the plight of thy father."
