Yang Shu was comforted by Li Shun, and after listening to Lu Fei's words, he hurriedly exclaimed, "We have also heard of King Ning's flying and domineering, but I didn't expect it to be so high."

Lu Fei nodded and said, "I'm actually helping you, life is too short, why bother to kill yourself, don't check, after returning to Beijing, go to the emperor to ask for guilt, just say that there is no evidence, here is 20,000 taels, even if it is compensation for the two brothers, you can only enjoy the high-ranking officials if you have to save your life."

The Yang brothers were stunned, this is called brothers, the two of them took the silver ticket, and this silver must not be at ease if it is not accepted by Lu Zhixian. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lu Zhixian, brave and resourceful, affectionate and righteous, you brother, our brothers have made a deal, and in the future, where there is a place for my two brothers, we will definitely help" Yang Lin patted Lu Fei on the shoulder.

At this time, Yang Shu heard the noisy footsteps from far and near outside the tent, he hurriedly ran to the tent door to see, gasped in his heart, thousands of battalions with weapons in their hands all came to the big tent together, this time it was over, the lord was dead, but these soldiers belonged to recruitment, almost equal to the Zhang family's army, this is not allowed to seek revenge.

Lu Fei stretched out his head and glanced out of the tent, and then glanced at Zhao Bantou, who nodded.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it, this group of soldiers can't be messed up, someone has already come to receive it" Lu Fei patted Yang Shu's shoulder and comforted.

Yang Lin thought that Lu Fei said just now that there were 20,000 troops active near Anqing, so he asked, "Lord Lu, is there really an army of 20,000 to contain General Zhang?" ”

Lu Fei laughed, pointed to the corpse of Zhang Rake on the ground and said, "He didn't believe it, but you did, you really responded to that sentence, the soldiers are treacherous, and they are uncertain, haha"

At this time, the Yang brothers couldn't see clearly whether this Zhixian was a human or a god, and they had already strategized with a snap of their fingers, and the decisive victory had been decided, such people didn't want to compete with King Ning, didn't they make a mistake.

……

The big thing has been decided, Lu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, these days he has been bullied by Zhang Rake everywhere Today, he can finally raise his eyebrows, the sunset is gradually setting, and the remnants are as red as blood, as if God is also announcing that the era when Susong City was controlled by the battalion army is gone forever.

Lu Fei led the ordinary county officials out of the barracks in high spirits, and the two Jinyi guards went back to the post house first to inform Zhou's father-in-law that General Zhang had died of a violent illness.

The deputy general next to General Zhang, Li Zhong, and Li sent Lu Fei all the way, Li Zhong was very grateful to Lu Zhixian, this is gratitude from the bottom of his heart, without himself, he would have rotted with maggots in the soil.

Lu Fei said in the big tent before that someone would come to appease the mutiny after General Zhang's death, talking about Li Zhong, this person's prestige in the army is second only to General Zhang, Lu Fei in the Shouchun Restaurant when he rushed to the barracks, he had already asked people to go to Jiang Wanhe's house to inform Li Zhong, let him come to the barracks to observe secretly, once he saw a riot in the barracks, it means that General Zhang is dead, his great enemy has gone, at this time the army has no leader, as long as he can show up and raise his arms, he will be able to rely on his prestige in the army, the official will be reinstated.

Things were as Lu Fei expected, Li Zhong quickly took over the military camp with the power of Xun Lei, and there were many of his old subordinates in the army, and Li Zhong successfully became the temporary commander of this army, Li Zhong said in front of the whole camp that General Zhang Shen died of a violent illness, although some people did not believe it, but the tree fell and scattered, who would offend the living for a dead person.

After leaving the barracks and leaving Erlidi, Lu Fei asked the Heizi who was leading the horse to stop, and said to Li Zhong, who was sending him all the way, "General Li, just send it here, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to wipe your ass in the barracks, and you will often come to our county government to sit and sit in the future, by the way, don't forget to report the funeral to the imperial court, now you are only temporarily acting as a general, and if you want to be justified, you must be appointed by the imperial court in person."

Li Zhong respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Li Zhong can have the blessing of Lord Lu today, and this temporary position of general is also out of repaying the grace of saving your life, and I dare not have such an extravagant hope."

Lu Fei laughed, "Okay, you don't need to say this in front of me, I don't count if you can serve as a staff general, but this person, if you are too thin-skinned, you will suffer a loss, if you don't prevent Lao Wang from selling melons, boast in front of the court, you can have a general brother, and in the future, my county master will also speak straight."

Li Zhong smiled embarrassedly, "Lord Lu is quick to talk, love and hate clearly, Li Zhong is beyond his reach, as for the appointment of the generals, the imperial court has its own opinions, and Li Zhong does not dare to discuss it."

Lu Fei waved his hand and smiled, "Yes, even if I didn't say it, you don't need to compliment me, we can also have some friendship in terms of personal affairs, in terms of the size of the official position, my small magistrate is still a lot behind you, okay, let's go, don't forget to inform me when the class teacher returns to Anqing one day, I will come to send the general"

Li Zhong nodded and said, "It must be, adults go slowly."

Li Zhong hit his horse and left, and he hadn't walked a few steps, but he heard Lu Fei calling him.

Li Zhong looked back and saw Master Lu dismount and come alone, so he hurriedly dismounted and greeted him.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Li Zhongdao.

Lu Fei smiled, put his arm around his shoulders and whispered, "I still stored the large pile of money and grain you took away from the barracks last time in the fishing village, and now General Zhang is also dead, these things were originally yours, and they should be returned to their original owners."

Of course, this is Lu Fei's hypocrisy, how can the things that go into his pocket be spit out so lightly, if you don't come, this is always something that is obtained by committing a big sin, a county magistrate robbed the food and salary of the officials and soldiers, no matter what the reason, it is a big crime, since ancient times, I have heard of the officials and soldiers robbing the people, how can there be a county lord robbing the army.

Li Zhong hurriedly said, "My lord, you must not mention this matter again, if the officers and soldiers in the army know that I led people to attack my brother, then I can't stay in this military camp for a day, since the thing has been lost, it is lost, it has nothing to do with adults, and it has nothing to do with Li Zhong."

Lu Fei wanted this sentence, but he said, "That's embarrassing, or else, I heard that the army has run out of food for a long time, and I asked people to help the army with 5,000 stone of food in the name of the county government, and the military salary is 10,000 taels, what do you think?" ”

Li Zhong said, "Thank you for your generosity, the army has indeed run out of food, I thank you for the soldiers of the whole battalion."

Back in the county seat, it was already dark, Lu Fei asked Li Shun to lead people to copy a thousand copies of the emperor's holy decree to reward him, and asked that this thing should be posted all over the county after tomorrow, and the battalion general died of a violent illness, and the news that the army would withdraw soon was dispersed, telling those bandits who were left outside, everyone can go back to the county government to report in a down-to-earth manner, and the mountain mining will start construction soon, as long as everyone comes back, the previous promise is still valid.

……

Early in the morning of the second day after Zhang Rake's death, Zhao Junma ran to King Ning's residence in a panic, called his subordinates back, and shouted softly, "Father."

King Ning was sitting quietly on the bed, opening his eyes slightly and saying, "It's Qingfeng, why is it so urgent?" ”

Zhao Jun immediately stepped forward, "It's spread in the city, Zhang Shen is going to die"

As soon as King Ning opened his eyes, he was obviously also taken aback, "Dead?" How did he die? ”

Zhao Junma shook his head, "It's hard to say, it's rumored to be a violent illness, but I heard that Lu Fei went to the barracks yesterday and heard the news of General Zhang's death early this morning."

King Ning got out of bed with his brows furrowed, and Zhao Junma hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said, "Father, do you think this will have anything to do with Lu Fei?" ”

King Ning sat at the table, pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed, "It's really unexpected, he has such means at such a young age, it's amazing, it's amazing, this king didn't see the wrong person." ”

Zhao Qingfeng was puzzled, "Father, what did you say?" ”

King Ning smiled, "General Zhang will die when he dies, it turned out that I planned to get rid of him when he was escorted back to Beijing, but I didn't expect to die here, and it will save a lot of trouble, if this king is not mistaken, General Zhang's subordinates are all with a man named Li Zhong." ”

Zhao Qingfeng was surprised again and again, "Father really knows the world without leaving home, that's right, it was Li Zhong who killed Steward Hu and was hidden by Lu Fei, and I don't know where he came from, he actually took over the entire military camp smoothly." ”

King Ning nodded appreciatively, "Well, he is meticulous, far-sighted, and courageous. ”

Saying this, Zhao Junma understood a little, "Father, did you say that Lu Fei didn't hand over Li Zhong to us at the beginning, did you think that there would be today's result?" Could it be that he can pinch and calculate? I had long expected that my father would let the officials impeach him, and he would take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation to get rid of General Zhang, and then pull Li Zhong out to control the situation, which is also incredible, he, he is also counting you. ”

King Ning smiled slightly, "The future is terrifying, you have to learn more, don't just focus on business, you are far inferior to him in these scheming." ”

Zhao Junma was a little unconvinced, "Father, he is using you, if it weren't for your father, where would he have done this, but what makes the little son-in-law curious the most is that this holy decree has not been passed out, how did he get it?" ”

King Ning rinsed his mouth with tea, and said, "I think he also coaxed you around with a short business of 240,000 taels?" This kid is slipping."

King Ning is really impressed with Lu Fei now, having such a person in Susong may be a good thing or a bad thing for him, this person can only be used for his own use, and he must be controlled by hard work.

Zhao Junma was still not convinced.

Ning Wang said, "These are no longer important, no matter who is the governor of Susong, who is in the hands of the Anqing battalion army, this has nothing to do with us, as long as it does not threaten us, we don't need to care about him, lest the situation become big, cause the emperor's disgust, and the gains outweigh the losses, that Li Zhong, you don't want to use the death of Steward Hu to entangle him, at this time he must be very close to Lu Fei, as soon as Zhang Shenjiang dies, there is no way to investigate the bribery of silver, we don't need to let Susong mess up again for this matter, remember, everything must focus on the overall situation, Susong must be stable, your foundation is in Susong, you must spread branches from here, control the financial resources of the entire Jiangnan, this is the first step of our success, although you are doing well now, but this is far from enough, next year you have to add another 30 million taels of food to your father. ”

Zhao Junma nodded, "Yes, father, the son-in-law knows, if you don't mention the 240,000 taels of business that Lu Fei said just now, the son-in-law is about to forget, I will go to him in a while and ask him to explain this matter clearly." ”

King Ning said, "No need, he will come to you soon, my father has also lived here for a few days, in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, I will leave for Nanchang tomorrow, by the way, Yan'er said that she misses her mother, and she wants to go back to live with her father for a few days, don't you object?" ”

Zhao Junma hurriedly said, "Don't dare, the son-in-law can't be filial piety in front of his mother-in-law, it's already a sin, the county lord is filial, how can the breeze stop it." ”

"That's good, you are my King Ning's son-in-law, and the relationship between your husband and wife is directly related to your Zhao family's business outside, okay, go to the front hall and wait, Lu Fei may have arrived."

Zhao Junma didn't believe it, turned around and retreated, and really ran to the door to ask the concierge.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw that Lu Fei's official sedan had just stopped.

"Yo, Master Junma, you're early, do you want to go out or do you know that I'm coming, and greet me here in person?" Lu Fei saw Zhao Junma standing at the door in some surprise from a probe in the sedan chair, and said with a smile.

Zhao Junma was told to be inferior to his father just now, but now that he saw him, how could he have a good face, and said disdainfully, "What are you doing here?" ”

Lu Fei didn't care about Zhao Junmana's elongated face, went up and hooked his shoulders and walked towards Zhao's mansion, saying as he walked, "Then that, Jun Maye, you noble man are so forgetful, I, I'm here to send you silver to Zhao Mansion today, oh no, it's a silver mountain." ”

Zhao Junma pushed away Lu Fei's arm on his shoulder, looked at him curiously, and then looked at the people who came with Lu Fei, not to mention Yinshan, he didn't even see a box that could hold silver, and said with a cold smile, "Send silver?" I'm in the wrong place. ”

Lu Fei scratched his head, "Yo, it seems that I walked to the wrong temple gate with a pig's head, okay, then I'll go." ”

Lu Fei was about to turn around and leave, when King Ning's voice came from the back hall, "Lu Zhixian stays." ”

……

Lu Fei turned around and saw that it was King Ning, and stepped forward to salute.

King Ning was very happy, he wanted to use Lu Fei for his own use, pointed to the chair in the front hall and said, "Don't be polite, Lu Zhixian, please sit"

Zhao Qunma stood behind King Ning unhappily, and a family member served tea.

Lu Fei was not restrained, he sat as he pleased, took the tea handed over by the family, took a big sip, raised his neck and rinsed his mouth, and then spit out the tea that had been dangling in his mouth for a long time back into the cup, smacking his lips and saying, "Well, it tastes good, come back to Huai, change your child."

Jia Ding frowned, took the bosom and retreated.

Zhao Junma couldn't wait to go up and slap him in the mouth, a magistrate dared to be so cynical in front of King Ning in the Junma Mansion, this face was lost.

King Ning has a little appreciation for Lu Fei's informality, and those who have achieved great things are not bound by these subtleties.

Ning Wang said, "I heard that General Zhang Shen died of a violent illness yesterday, have you heard about Lu Zhixian?" ”

"Well, it's spread in the city, people eat grains, birth, old age, sickness and death can't help themselves, it's a pity that General Zhang is in the prime of life, and he has a great future, it's a pity, it's a pity" Lu Fei picked up a pear in the fruit bowl on the table and took a bite.

"Pity? Zhang Shen will die, you Lu Zhixian will have fewer enemies in Susong County from now on, you should be happy, right? King Ning had already guessed that he would say that.

"Yo, how do you say this, I and him General Zhang are just different ways of doing things, there is no personal grudge, one day when I am free, I still have to give the emperor a fold, General Zhang has done a lot of good things in Susong, I have to praise and praise, but it's a little late"

King Ning smiled and motioned for Zhao Junma to go over and close the door.

King Ning said, "Lu Zhixian, the eldest husband dares to do it, don't think that this king doesn't know your little cleverness, be careful to play too much"

Lu Fei hurriedly put the half-eaten pears back into the fruit bowl, wiped his hands on his body, and said, "Yo, King Ning, what do you mean by this?" ”

King Ning smiled lightly, "You don't need to pretend to be confused in front of this king, I'm not interested in how you played with General Zhang in the palm of your hand, I just want to remind you that you are just a magistrate in charge of Susong, a small county of a hundred miles, there are some things you can't touch, and some people you can't afford to offend, young people don't be too sharp."

As soon as Lu Fei heard it, Bacheng, the old King Ning, had already seen through what he had done, and knew that he was taking advantage of the opportunity of King Ning to defeat General Zhang to secretly make a move to achieve his goal, and at the same time, he was also warning himself not to go against him, Lu Fei is not stupid, is it easy to be an official, he has been in office for a month, he is either fighting with this or robbing with that, tired or not, who doesn't want to be a peace officer comfortably.

"Thank you King Ning for mentioning something, I'm not afraid of King Ning's jokes, I'm an official, just three" Lu Fei stretched out three fingers.

"Which three?"

"Be an official, be a big official, make a fortune, make a fortune, marry a wife, whoever comes will not refuse" Lu Fei deliberately said that he was vulgar, but while talking about it, he thought that this seemed to be his own thoughts, otherwise why people live, wouldn't it be just these three things.

King Ning was not surprised that Lu Fei could say these unworthy words, the words were a little rough, but it showed how many people Qingliu really thought in their hearts, and he was an official for thousands of miles just for money, which also made it difficult for King Ning to judge Lu Fei's true thoughts for a while.

King Ning clapped his hands and smiled, "Really, incisively, and frankly, Lu Zhixian's words can really be described as a six-character mantra for entering the WTO."

Lu Fei smiled, "However, if anyone stops me from getting promoted and getting rich and robbing me of women, I can't just stretch out my hand and be beaten, King Ning, do you think that's the reason?" ”

Lu Fei has also seen some of King Ning's people these days, this person seems to be very ambitious, but he hides very deeply, and he is always for the purpose of maintaining the stability and prosperity of Susong, but he does not hesitate to instigate Zhang Razi to kill the Jiang family in Jiujiang Mansion, which shows that this person is never merciful to his enemies, Zhang Rake eats the imperial grain, but secretly works for him, and finally was killed because of bribery, on the contrary, he clearly told him that Steward Hu was killed by Li Zhong, but he just asked casually and there was no follow-up, This is because Li Zhong's killing of Steward Hu does not pose a threat to King Ning, and he doesn't care if Steward Hu dies or not, what he wants is to get rid of the people behind Li Zhong.

In this way, Lu Fei believes that King Ning is a man who does everything as long as it does not endanger his interests, he will turn a blind eye and never cause more trouble, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Fei dares to do whatever he wants in front of King Ning, because this will make King Ning not hostile to himself, I Lu Fei just want to be an official and make a fortune and marry a woman, what do you King Ning want to do about me, and at the same time tell King Ning, people don't offend me, I don't offend people.

When King Ning heard this, he nodded approvingly, "Well, in principle, a man is a man in the world, he can't be a reckless man who makes trouble, and he can't be a coward who can't fight back, it's exactly the same as when this king was young, okay, Qingfeng."

Zhao Junma nodded, "Father"

King Ning pointed to Lu Fei and said to Zhao Junma, "Study hard, in the future, Susong County will be able to make the people's livelihood rich under the governance of Lu Zhi County, and the county treasury will be full, although you are a county horse, you are not allowed to rely on your identity to violate the law and discipline, you must live in harmony with Lu Zhi County, and build the prosperity of Susong together, understand?" ”

Although Zhao Junma was reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to refute King Ning, nodded yes, and pretended to smile at Lu Fei, and arched his hand, "Lu Zhixian, if you have time, you must come to ask for advice, and I hope that Lu Zhixian will not hesitate to advise."

Lu Fei could hear that King Ning was using Zhao Junma to show his heart to himself, and King Ning would not be unfavorable to himself, although Lu Fei didn't understand why he wanted to take the initiative to show favor to a small county magistrate, but since people gave such a big face, of course he had to carry it, so he also got up and saluted Zhao Junma, "Don't dare, don't dare, the Zhao family stomped their feet, Su Songcheng has to tremble three times, how can I be qualified to guide you Zhao Junma, today with the presence of the old man Ning Wang, I will make a statement, from now on, as long as you Zhao Junma speaks, I, Lu Fei, will never refuse, of course, provided that I do not violate the law and discipline."

King Ning stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay, one is Susong's parent official, and the other is Susong's God of Wealth, the two of you can work with one heart and one mind, this is the blessing of the people of Susong, and the blessing of the emperor."

Lu Fei said, "What King Ning said is very much, I came today to give Zhao Junma a good opportunity to make a fortune, a mountain of gold and silver that can never be moved."

King Ning motioned for Lu Fei to sit down and said, but he was leaving, "Okay, this king is here, you don't feel comfortable talking, can young people talk about everything together?"

Lu Fei said, "King Ning laughed, this matter is just what I see and think in my heart, whether it can come in handy or not depends on your knowledge."

When King Ning heard this, he nodded, "Since that's the case, you can tell me about it."

Lu Fei stood up and said to Zhao Junma, "Master Junma, do you remember when I helped Zhao Fu go to Dada Lake last month to urge fishing rent?" ”

Zhao Junma nodded.

Lu Fei continued, "At that time, I didn't confiscate a penny of fishing rent, and I only said one word to you Zhao Junma when I came back, do you remember?" ”

Zhao Junma didn't have to think about it, it was just how long he had been deceived by this sentence, "Of course I remember, you said that the fishing rent was just a small fight, and that there was another business with a one-year dividend of less than 240,000 taels belonged to my Zhao family, right?" ”

Lu Fei gave a thumbs up, "Well, Junma has a good memory, that's right, that's it"

Zhao Junma said, "What, what are you going to talk about today?" ”

Lu Fei nodded, "Exactly"

Zhao Junma smiled a little unhappily, "You can really calm down, you have been holding it for so long, it is nothing more than wanting to use Zhao Mansion to help you eradicate your opponent, how clever is it?"

King Ning waved his hand, "Qingfeng, just talk about things, don't mention the past, listen to him"

Lu Fei arched his hand to King Ning and walked in the hall, "You have wronged me about this matter Jun Ma Ye, in fact, I have already told you about this, the first time, I drank tea in your house, and tasted the taste of West Lake Longjing in Huangshan Maofeng, and was ridiculed by Steward Hu at that time, the second time I asked you if you have been to Hangzhou West Lake, you didn't hear it, the third time, I asked Li Shun to bring you a bag of tea in Xiangwei Building, a bag of Longjing tea, a total of three times before and after, Jun Ma Ye, think about it, isn't it?" ”
