Lu Zhongsu looked at the angry Su You, and could only say angrily, "This mountain is high and the emperor is far away, isn't that who is the one who is talking about the royal law?" ”

"So you're going to gather men and ask for an explanation?" Su You finally knew the ins and outs of the so-called "rush" in Lu Zhongsu's mouth, but his mood was mixed.

From Lu Zhongsu's account, Su You failed to find evidence that Zhang Xin set up a private checkpoint to collect taxes, but he heard a more serious problem than private business taxes.

How is the method used by Zhangjia Boat Company to crowd out its peers and the underworld?

Lu Zhongsu shook his head and replied with a solemn expression, "I'm ashamed to say it, we can probably just make up the numbers, how can I, a hundred people, fight with them?" However, the trader's maternal uncle's family has some power, and if they can't ask for an explanation, they will definitely not give up. ”

"How many of them are there, have they gone now?" Su You's eyebrows jumped, and he already had a hunch that this matter was no less than he imagined.

"Nearly a thousand, right? There are at least five or six hundred. Lu Zhongsu said this with some uncertainty, and added, "We have made an appointment to meet at the Qixian wharf on December 19. ”

The wharf of Qixian belongs to Pengcheng County, where the headquarters of Zhangjia Boat Company is located, and today it is December 18; If nothing else, a memo of nearly 2,000 people will kick off tomorrow evening.

But this is an accident, a bad news to welcome Su You to take office.

If Su You was just a civilian, he would naturally not care about the life and death of these people, but he was an official, and Yang Guang would care about face.

Su You wanted to stop everything that was about to happen, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "I'm going to take your boat to Qi County, and I hope you can arrive at the Ji County dock before Shen Shi." ”

Lu Zhongsu didn't expect that after Su You heard the news, instead of retreating, he was in a position to face the difficulties, so he thought about it for a long time before he said solemnly, "But tomorrow is nineteen." ”

"What's wrong with Nineteen?" Su You asked a little puzzled, but secretly reminded himself that if he persuaded him to give up following their ship, he would not be able to agree to anything.

"As the saying goes, 'Shangguan is not auspicious on the fourth day of the first month, the seventy-sixth day of the first month is the most hurtful, and the nineteenth is even more suspicious of twenty-eight, and fools who do not believe will suffer.'" It is inevitable that people will die when they are in office, and they will be injured at the end of their term, 'Haven't you heard of it?' ”

Su You naturally heard of this statement about the new official taking office.

In addition, the time of taking office should avoid the three months of first month, May, September; According to the five elements of yin and yang, these three months belong to fire, and the ancient pronunciation of the word "minister" for the courtiers is "Shang", Shang belongs to gold, and fire is gold. So avoid these three months.

In fact, these three months are a good day for tax collection, and there is also the meaning that the new officials leave room for the old officials.

If you really pay attention to this, then it is not easy to take office in the months adjacent to the above three months, because whether you go early or late, you can't wait, and if you let people with ulterior motives worry about it, you will inevitably be made fun of.

Su You listened to Lu Zhongsu's words, and he didn't take it to heart, he just smiled, and then said categorically, "Zi doesn't say anything about God, so it's all vulgar, how can you take it all to heart?" That's it. ”

Lu Zhongsu was full of enthusiasm when he came, but after parting with his son in life and death, he also felt that it was not worth it to fight with others at such an old age.

In the past, he led troops to fight for the honor of his family and country, but now?

Just to help people breathe a bad breath?

He hoped that Su You could handle this matter perfectly, although he didn't believe that Su You really had such ability.

Su You looked at Lu Zhongsu and didn't seem to have any objections, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this thing is really tortuous and bizarre, if he revealed his identity early in the morning, why let him come to Yanbei to pretend to be sick?

Thinking of coming to Yanbei, Su You grabbed the Son of Heaven sword on the coffee table and left, leaving only Lu Zhongsu and Lu Sheng's father and son staring at each other for a while.

After being speechless for a long time, Lu Zhongsu said a little depressedly, "It is not a good thing for him to know about this matter, but it has also dragged him into a dangerous whirlpool since then." ”

Lu Sheng listened to his father's words, and was silent, after all, he had to blame himself for this matter, if he didn't object to his father's arrangement just now, how could he involve Su You?

But maybe it's not that bad, right?

After two sips of tea, Lu Sheng still couldn't stand the silence, and raised his head and asked Lu Zhongsu, "Father really wants me to follow him?" Or do you just want me to stay away from this fight? ”

"Although he is a scribe, he also has some backbone, and it is rare that he is also reused by His Majesty." Lu Zhongsu said noncommittally.

Lu Zhongsu praised Su You for his future, and naturally denied that his starting point was not just to support Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng listened to his father's words, felt better, and couldn't help but quip, "When you talk about the emperor, aren't you one Yang Guang?" Why is it called Your Majesty now? ”

"Isn't there a court official on the ship? I call it this to give Su Hengbo face, you know? Lu Zhongsu's mouth hardened, and then he said, "Yang Guang sent the imperial historian to Jiangnan at this time, it must be because the current situation of the canal has attracted his attention, and he is going to clean up the officialdom in Jiangnan." ”

"Does that have anything to do with us?" Lu Sheng rarely heard his father talk about the affairs of the court, and it was a little new to hear him at this time, but he also said indifferently.

Lu Zhongsu shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, Yang Guang still attaches enough importance to the south, he must not want to see Guanlong's gate valve do whatever he wants in the south, Su You came this time, but he did not mean to drive these people out of Jiangnan, from this point of view, I still support Yang Guang." ”

"It's good to clean them up, they're all a bunch of vampire bats, and with them for a day, we don't want to live a good life." Lu Sheng became angry.

When Su You returned to the room arranged by Lu Zhongsu for his husband and wife, he found that Lai Yanbei was still lying on the bed, and Xia Ziwei was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Seeing Su You coming in, Xia Ziwei immediately stood up and saluted.

Su You waved his hand to say that there was no need to be polite, and turned to Laiyan Beidao, "Get up, Boss Lu has already promised to take us to Pengcheng." ”

"However, I feel a little dizzy." Lai Yanbei said with an embarrassed face.

"Ah, really?" How did Su You think that this thing would really come true? When I approached the bedside and looked at Yanbei, it was really a cold.

"How can there be a fake?" Lai Yanbei is angry and funny, and the heavy nasal voice she speaks with has proven everything.

Su You touched her forehead, and said with some concern, "No, let's get off the boat in Liang County, or I plan to take office in the nineteenth year, this 'must eventually be injured' will inevitably not be on you." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lai Yanbei asked a little puzzled.

Su You then explained the process and results of his discussion with Lu Zhongsu concisely, and naturally expressed more concern and worry about what would happen tomorrow.

After listening to Su You's words, Lai Yanbei naturally didn't want to hold back, and he was even more reluctant to leave Su You and let him follow Lu Zhongsu and the others to take risks.

Su You couldn't, so he had to nod and promise that he would not leave Yanbei.

The fleet arrived in Liangcheng in the afternoon of the same day, and after Lu Zhongsu asked Su You to leave again to no avail, he could only passively accept them.

That night, Su You told Wang Bodang, Lu Sheng and others about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as usual after dinner, and after returning to the room, he staged a classic story that can only be found in "Golden Vase Plum" with Lai Yanbei.

When he got up on the second day, the cold that came to Yanbei was inexplicably better than half, and Su You's hanging heart was relaxed.

The sun was very good on this day, and after lunch, Su You even went to the deck with Lai Yanbei to bask in the sun, but Su You's mind was not on the sun, but had already arrived at the Jixian Wharf in Pengcheng.

"Why hasn't it arrived yet?" Su You put his hand on the pergola and looked downstream.

"It's coming." After listening to Su You's question that had been repeated countless times, Lu Zhongsu could only answer with an answer that had been repeated countless times.

"Can we speed things up?" Su You continued to ask a question that had been asked countless times.

So Lu Zhongsu also nodded with an answer that had been answered countless times, "No problem, I'll let them work harder." After saying this, he ran away again as usual.

When I first saw Su You, no one expected that he was still an acute child, but now

When Lu Zhongsu reappeared, he brought Su You good news, "That's Jixian Wharf." ”

"It's okay, we haven't reached Shen Shi yet, right?" Su You looked at the dock a few miles away, and then looked at the sun that was still some distance away from the West Mountain, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

The boat approached quickly, and the smile on Su You's face slowly froze on his face.

What he didn't realize was that how could those impulsive country people be as punctual as the special forces of later generations?

Looking at the post-war docks, he realized that he was still happy too soon.

"What's going on?" Su You was a little dazed by the unknown situation, but he still jumped off the boat without hesitation.

"Sir, slow down." Wang Bodang didn't expect that the boat jumped down before Su You could get close to it, and then hurriedly jumped down, Xia Ziwei's brothers and sisters were not slow, and hurriedly caught up with Su You and his wife.

"Shall I follow them?" Lu Sheng asked his father, and then jumped off the boat.

Lu Zhongsu shouted from behind, "Protect his safety." ”

"I'll save it." Lu Sheng responded, but couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Haven't you always explained that you want to protect yourself when you go to fight or something?" ”

Su You watched Lu Sheng catch up, nodded and then said, "Let's find a living person first and ask what happened." ”

Tragically, the docks were crowded with boats at this time, but they were empty.

Uncle Wang's eyes were sharp, and he saw a few houses on the hillside not far away, and at this time, there was a puff of cooking smoke curling into the sky.

"Sir, there's smoke over there."

Su You nodded, and then ordered, "Okay, Bo and Ziteng go over to ask about the situation, and try not to disturb the people." ”

The two of them said yes and quickly ran to the huts.
