"That batch of grain is Baihemen, Baihemen handed it to me...... I don't really know about the rest...... My lord...... I'm just a bastard...... I'm just a little person...... Really ......"

"White Crane Gate?" Lu Sheng looked at Feng Jian suspiciously, "What kind of sect is White Crane Gate?"

"This is a second-rate sect in Lingang Prefecture, located at the boundary of Linming County, the white crane in the sky jumps up, and the crane roars for nine days! The white crane sect is quite a good sect in the local area, but its strength is probably inferior to that of the Nanming Sword Sect. Feng Jian said the information of Baihemen lightly.

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Xiaochen again curiously, "So...... Why did the White Crane Gate choose you? Since you are a thug, why would you give you such an important thing?"

"I don't know...... Possible...... Maybe it's because I'm the head disciple of the White Crane Sect......"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The turn was too urgent, and Lu Sheng was choked, "Are you the head disciple? Also, since you are a disciple of the White Crane Sect, why does Lin Mu know nothing?"

"It's normal, I didn't tell him. About 10 years ago, when I was smuggling salt, I once went to the river to save a Jianghu person. He said that he was Zhang Qiuyu, the head of the White Crane Gate.

I was also kind at the time, but the temper of the Jianghu people was really weird, and he had to repay me. However, at that time, he had nothing, and the White Crane Gate was also destroyed, and he was a lost dog.

I didn't expect Zhang Qiuyu to really agree, but he said that his own martial arts would not be passed on, so he had to ask me to worship him as a teacher.

He knew martial arts, so he forced me to kowtow, and then he really passed on a set of internal strength and a set of palm techniques to me. When he came ashore, he drifted away and was never heard from. I don't have much patience, and I stopped practicing martial arts after two days without progress.

After Zhang Qiuyu left, about half a year later, he reappeared, and this time he not only recovered, but also had money. When he found me again, he saw that my martial arts had not improved, and he lost his temper.

He said that I was the head disciple of the White Crane Sect, but my martial arts were not as good as those in the rivers and lakes, so I had to practice diligently. But at that time, my business was at a critical juncture, and I had no time.

He came to me once in three or two months, and when he saw that I hadn't grown, he never contacted me again. Suddenly, two months ago, he came to me again and told me that Baihemen had no money and was in urgent need of silver.

At first, I thought he was asking me for money, but who knew he wanted me to help him sell food. At that time, I was also destitute, and when I was sleepy, I brought a pillow and did not hesitate to agree. ”

"How did you take down Zhang Han? Every time he receives the goods, he helps you guard the door on time?

"Although Zhang Han is the deputy commander of the city defense army, he is only under the influence of his ancestors, and he has no power and connections at all. Every time I pick up the goods, I give him hard money, and Zhang Han, a bad gambler, has to stammer with me, the God of Wealth. ”

"You don't know where the food from Baihemen comes from?"

"I don't know, every time I was asked to drive an empty boat, and when the harvest was time, I used the empty boat to pick it up, and then I exchanged it like this. Lu Xiaochen said slowly with a dodgy look.

Looking at this look, Lu Sheng's eyes were full of murder.

"You really don't know?" Lu stared at Lu Xiaochen with his eyes, containing the sword intent of a Dao realm master, where was what Lu Xiaochen, a waste, could bear. In an instant, Lu Xiaochen's mind was blank, and his thinking ability had long been lost.

"I ...... I really don't know...... But there were a few ...... I saw...... Saw reed scratches on their boat...... Possible...... Probably out of the reeds......"

Lu Sheng retracted his gaze and knocked lightly on the table, "Escort him down!"

Feng Jian waved his hand, and the two Xuantian guards escorted Lu Xiaochen down.

"My lord, map!"

Feng Jianneng instantly guessed Lu Sheng's thoughts, and before Lu Sheng could speak, he knew what Lu Sheng wanted and immediately handed over the map. For such subordinates, Lu Sheng is very comfortable.

Sometimes I imagine that there can be no Lu Jian and no Gai Ying under his hands, but he really can't do without Feng Jian.

Following the route of the river road on the map, Lu Sheng's eyes were finally fixed on Linze Lake, eight hundred miles of Linze Lake, and it has been rumored that there are water thieves coming in and out throughout the ages.

Moreover, on Linze Lake, the reeds stretching for thousands of miles give the water robbers natural protection. Although it is said that a fire can be set on fire to sweep the reeds, the roots and shoots of the reeds are buried in the mud at the bottom of the water, and even if they are burned clean in the winter, they will grow again the next year.

"Feng Jian, order Xianyun to lead the team to find out, Lin Mu's side should not move for the time being. ”

"Yes!"

The December wind blows through the wheat waves, and the ears of wheat sway in the wind. The wind was so warm that it couldn't be connected to the current day of the lunar month.

"Another grain store has closed down...... He Xingzhi sighed softly, and handed the information in his hand to Lu Sheng, "This is the seventh one this month, and if it goes on like this, there are few grain merchants in Chuzhou who can survive." ”

"What is the reason for the collapse?"

"There is too much foreign debt, and the funds cannot be collected. These bankrupt grain merchants are now dragging their families to the gate of Taishou Mansion every now and then to beg. ”

"Is it really begging?"

They used to be the most popular figures, and many people knew them. But...... When they saw people, they cried, saying that it was right that the Taishou Mansion cared about the lives of the people, but they didn't treat them as people.

He fed the people, and starved them to death. This has a great impact on the reputation of Taishoufu, and there will be a new round of investment next year, and many commercial banks have come to Chuzhou in advance for inspection.

These days, the contracts that were originally finalized are now gone. Lord Lu, what do you say about this?"

"What about the drive?"

"Doesn't it seem that we are more weak-minded when the time comes, and when the rumors are together, the harm will be even greater. But if they are allowed to do so, the reputation of the Taishou Mansion will also be ruined. ”

"They say that the government doesn't care about their lives or deaths? What is the reason? Is it a food restriction order?"

They took out the grain account books they bought from Bazhou at a high price, saying that they were inspired by the government to buy grain to save Chuzhou, but the grain restriction order was not relaxed, resulting in their loss of money. As a last resort, I can only live by begging for food......"

"I'll wipe it, I can really do it, I don't want my face?"

"They can be shameless, but the face of the government still needs it......"

"After the locust plague, the faces of the grain merchants in Chuzhou were also seen by Lord Taishou, right? They colluded in openly boycotting the government, regardless of the lives of the people, and were bent on making money for the country. Chuzhou Grain Merchant ...... It is no longer possible to be a part of the granary of the world. ”

"What does Lord Lu mean...... That's not good, after all, Chuzhou grain merchants are also our Chuzhou signboard. ”

"This locust plague not only let us see the face of the grain merchants in Chuzhou, but also let the grain merchants in Bazhou see the foundation of Chuzhou. Our first step is to attract investment...... It started with the grain merchants of the eight states.

Didn't they say that they would buy grain from the grain merchants of the eight states at a high price? Then let the grain merchants of the eight states come and attack the shield of the other with their spears. What if the grain merchants in the eight states say that they have never sold grain to them?"

"This ...... However, if it weren't for the grain merchants in the eight states selling grain, wouldn't their account books be inexplicable, and wouldn't it be the government's resale of grain that would have been exposed?"

"Hey, hey, hey......" Lu Sheng suddenly smiled sinisterly, and He Xingzhi was a little frightened when he saw this smile.

It can also be interpreted as...... They didn't buy grain at all when Chuzhou was in danger. These ledgers ...... It's fake. Because all the grain merchants in the eight states have sold us grain......"

Looking at Lu Sheng's very casual expression, He Xingzhi's eyes widened and he couldn't recover for a long time.

After a long time, He Xingzhicai sighed faintly, "Fortunately, Lord Lu is in the official mansion and is not obsessed with business. Otherwise...... It's hard to imagine. ”

After experiencing a lot of ups and downs, one of Xianyun's hidden skills seems to be lit up. Maybe it's luck, maybe he's the king himself.

Eight hundred miles of Linze Lake, endless reeds, it is impossible to find the grain Lu Xiaochen said from it for a month or two. However, in just two days, it took Xianyun two days to find out the location of the disciples of the White Crane Sect.

Even how much food was hidden in the endless reeds, and how many disciples there were, all of their strength divisions were clearly recorded.

Looking at the record in front of him, Lu Sheng looked at Xianyun again and again, "You didn't startle the snake, did you?"

"No! I know that once I alarm the other party, the other party will definitely jump off the wall. I am afraid that the 20 million stone grain will be burned along with the reeds. They were very careful in advancing and retreating, and there were absolutely no clues. ”

"How did you find it? so fast?"

"Coincidentally, as soon as we arrived in the local area, we heard from the locals that there were haunted ghosts in Linze Lake, and several fishermen in the vicinity drowned. Those who escaped by luck said that there were water ghosts underwater.

Since then, the people have not been in the water for almost two months. The local government also confirmed that there were water ghosts under the water, warned the people not to enter the water easily, and invited the mage to do a few rituals.

Believing that this was a deliberate spread of rumors, he went to a haunted place to investigate. Sure enough, we saw signs of activity and saw someone watching.

We pretended to be passing by, and in the evening we took advantage of the darkness to sneak under the water and found where they were stockpiling. ”

"Very well, if your report is true, you will be credited with a great credit when the operation is completed. Inform Lu Jian Gaiying and prepare to act!"

The moon is in the sky, the thin clouds are like veils, and under the breeze, the gloomy reeds are swaying in the wind.

The two thousand Xuantian Guards of the Xuantian Mansion converged on Linze Lake from all directions, although they seemed to be scattered sand, but their every move was carefully planned.

Water avoidance is a standing skill of Xuantian Mansion, and it is also a very practical skill. Although he can't live normally underwater like Lu Sheng, he can let Xuan Tianwei hold his breath underwater for a long time.

This also laid the foundation for Xuan Tianwei's silent encirclement of the target.

Speaking of which, it is also bad luck for Baihemen, and it is not good to choose Linze Lake. There is still a chance for them to escape in other places, and they will not even have a chance to escape if they choose Linze Lake.

"Boom-" A loud bang suddenly erupted, and without the White Crane Sect disciples being completely unaware, Linze Lake suddenly exploded. Endless water waves rise into the sky, and fish and dragons dance all night.
