However, this is a legal business, you and I are willing, and even Meng was very happy to pick up a bargain in previous years...... This made Lu Sheng's heart hurt a little.

"Lord Lu, it turns out that you are secretly helping Lanzhou...... Shame on the old man! It's the old man who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Lord Lu, what are you going to use this coal business for?"

"This one...... After years of research, the charcoal is specially treated to make it not emit toxic smoke. Therefore, Meng Taishou doesn't need to worry too much about us using coal to hurt the people's lives, but the price of this thousand taels of mines is really ......."

"Since Lord Lu has made a guarantee, the official still trusts it very much, one thousand taels is indeed a bit expensive, but there is still room for negotiation. In this way, if Lord Lu is willing to buy twenty mines at one time, the official can consider the price of eight hundred and one two......"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Lu Sheng was almost choked in one breath. Do you really dare to give a price? If in the future, when you know that a mine is worth millions or tens of millions, will you use a knife to cut it to Chuzhou?

"That, Taishou, you misunderstood what I meant, I don't think the mine is expensive, but cheap! A mine should be worth 10,000 taels, right?"

"Bang-" The teacup in Meng Qiannian's hand was knocked to the ground by Meng Qiannian's hand with such a shake of his hand.

"Ten thousand taels?" Meng Xiannian stared at Lu Sheng in disbelief, his eyes were like a simple child.

"Owner, I've never seen you bargain like this......"

"Lord Lu, are you scattering money to help Lanzhou...... You are so high-spirited...... How to make the old man ...... How to ......"

Meng Taishou didn't need to say more, Lu Sheng was ashamed. ”

"No! I understand Lord Lu's intentions, this official Tian is too protective of Lanzhou, but he has done nothing for more than ten years, and the old man can't be greedy for Lord Lu's cheapness. Lord Lu bought the mine and still had to open the mine, and he had to recruit absenteeism, didn't he?

Just one thousand taels, as long as Lord Lu can recruit the people of Lanzhou and give them a livelihood. Why should this official give away the Lanzhou mine?"

"Lord Taishou, I'm not a good money boy, in business, a mine is indeed sold for 1,000 taels. That's it, shopkeeper Wu, 10,000 taels of one, not one less.

You can buy as much as you can, and pay the miners a little more, after all, going down the mine is a dangerous job. Also, prepare an accident compensation to ensure the survival of family members who are absent from work in case of any accidents. ”

"The owner, it's not necessary, right? There are masters of the Tuyin Gate who personally check it, and the work in the mine is very safe......"

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, this fund is for emergency use, and I hope that I will never use this money. ”

"Yes!"

"Lord Lu is high-minded, I will order someone to draft a contract, Lord Lu came to the Taishou Mansion today, but there is something important?"

"There's one thing I need to ask Taemori-sama. ”

"Lord Lu, shall we move to the study and talk?" In an instant, Lu Sheng felt that Meng's attitude in previous years had been overturned.

In the past, although Meng could not say that he excluded Lu Sheng in previous years, he was somewhat wary of Lu Sheng. Meng was able to stay safe and sound in Lanzhou for so many years in the past years, relying on that kind of ease and ability to judge the situation.

When Mo Cangkong was in power, Meng immediately stopped after the impeachment in previous years was fruitless, and did not provoke Mo Cangkong's bottom line. Because Meng knew very well in previous years that he might die if he intensified himself in such a situation.

Meng wanted to be a Jingchen in previous years, but he never wanted to be a martyr in the past. There is hope to be alive!

When Lu Sheng arrived, Meng Xian did not immediately determine what kind of person Lu Sheng was because of Lu Sheng's various rumors, through observation and testing, until now, Meng Xian really accepted Lu Sheng.

Swept away the Lanzhou horse bandits, transferred the Chuzhou doctor, and now has his own meat to feed the people of Lanzhou. These three points alone made Meng Xian determine that Lu Sheng and Mo Cangkong were diametrically opposed people.

It's a pity that Meng didn't know that it was himself who really cut the meat in previous years, otherwise it is estimated that he would have picked up the bench and kicked Lu Sheng out now.

"I don't know if Meng Taishou knows about Butterfly Valley?"

"Butterfly Valley? I know that it is a canyon full of poisonous insects, ordinary people are not allowed to set foot in it, but anyone who sets foot in Butterfly Valley will be poisoned and sick, and if you are lucky, you can escape, and if you are unlucky, you will die directly. ”

"Could it be that Lord Taishou doesn't know that Butterfly Valley was originally inhabited?"

"How can anyone live in Butterfly Valley?"

Lu Sheng's brows tightened, if it was because of Mo Cangkong, it would make sense that Xuantian Mansion did not have a record of Butterfly Valley, and now even Meng didn't know about it in previous years? Could it be that the incident in Butterfly Valley happened earlier?

"Lord Lu, otherwise, let's go to the archives to find out. ”

In previous years, Meng did not hesitate to put down his official duties and personally took Ru to the archives to look through the information, but after looking for a whole afternoon, he did not find any record of the people in Butterfly Valley.

If Gu Daoyi hadn't deceived himself, then the traces of Butterfly Valley would have been erased too cleanly, right?

"My lord, there is a record of Butterfly Valley here, but it is only a military report, and there is no record of the situation in Butterfly Valley. An envoy came with a military watch.

Lu Sheng took a look, it was a record of the results of Mo Cangkong's army and the rebel tribes in the Butterfly Valley. Seventeen years ago, Mo Cangkong led the tribal coalition army to fight a decisive battle with the rebel tribes.

The imperial court army was caught off guard by the other party's killing, but Mo Cangkong's army won a complete victory, killing two thousand enemies. It was precisely because of this battle that the imperial court changed its strategy, with Mo Cangkong as the mainstay, supplemented by the imperial court's town army, and a comprehensive counteroffensive to raze and raze.

But...... Lu Sheng's mind was filled with the brainless bones in the pit......

"Kill the good and risk the merit! Mo Cangkong actually killed the good and risked the merit! In this battle, I don't know if Mo Cangkong was defeated or not, but he definitely did not win. ”

"Why did Lord Lu conclude like this?"

"Because today at noon, I went to Butterfly Valley and found a mass grave in Butterfly Valley, which is very old, at least more than ten years. The bones were messy, and none of them had heads.

On top of the mass grave, there is a tombstone, which reads, The Tomb of Butterfly Valley! I have an old friend who lived in Butterfly Valley 20 years ago, and he told me that Butterfly Valley is not only inhabited, but also quite numerous. ”

"Hiss-killing is the highest discipline in military law, and Mo Cangkong dared to do this back then...... What do the overseers with the army do to eat?"

"I'm afraid I'm already embarrassed. It seems that the reason for this incident can almost be determined, Mo Cangkong's death is related to the killing of good and risky seventeen years ago, and Mo Cangkong's poison is in Butterfly Valley. ”

"Lord Lu is really investigating this case?" Meng Qiannian suddenly looked at Lu Sheng solemnly, "Lord Lu really seems to want to show Xue for Mo Cangkong?"

"What do you mean by this, Lord Taishou? I came to Lanzhou, and I have the emperor's order, and it is one of the emperor's orders to find out the cause of Mo Cangkong's death and the case of Xuantianfu being poisoned. Could it be that Lord Taishou asked me not to check?"

"Lord Lu is under the emperor's order, so he naturally wants to investigate, but the old man thinks that dust will return to dust and dust, and it is better not to check. At least, Mo Cangkong is innocent of death. If the person who poisoned him wants to take revenge, or to eliminate the harm for Lanzhou, what should you do if you catch him?

But if you kill a righteous person, where is the justice of heaven and earth?"

At any time, it would be impossible for Meng to say such a thing to Lu Sheng in previous years. But now, Meng felt that Lu Sheng was a glorious and great person in previous years, and he had to say a word to Lu Sheng, so as not to have a troubled conscience when he caught someone.

"Does Lord Taishou have any clues?"

I just think that Mo Cangkong deserves to die, so the person who kills him is doing the right thing for heaven. ”

"Lord Taishou is very romantic!" Lu Sheng smiled, "If the murderer only killed Mo Cangkong, I would have wondered if this person was a chivalrous man." However, in the main town of Xuantian Mansion, there are more than a thousand resignations.

The people who were poisoned were not only Mo Cangkong, but also the rest of the thousands of Xuantian Guards, and even the Xuantian Mansion miscellaneous servants, fire husbands, and subordinates were all poisoned. Such an extermination of humanity is by no means a good person. ”

was said by Lu Sheng, Meng suddenly realized in previous years.

"Fortunately, Lord Lu mentioned it, otherwise the old man would almost forget this stubble. I only thought that Mo Cangkong and his minions should die, and after the collapse, dozens of innocent people in Xuantian Mansion were also affected. ”

This is the limitation of people in this era, in Lu Sheng's eyes, a passerby, an ordinary person, and even a beggar and a girl in a green building, their lives are all high and low.

But in this era, human life is born with high and low, and no one cares about the lives of those subordinates and those firemen. When you can care, you will care, and when you don't care, you will naturally ignore it.

When I came back from Taishoufu, it was already dark.

As soon as I entered the door, I was told that Xianyun had been arrested and was being interrogated in the interrogation room.

Lu Sheng thought about it and went to the interrogation room.

The drug superintendent Qiu Yuanzhong drooped his head and sat on the chair like a deflated ball, while Xianyun kept asking questions, and Qiu Yuanzhong answered sentence by sentence. It's like Truth or Dare.

"My lord!" Seeing Lu Sheng coming, Xian Yun stopped the interrogation and quickly stood up.

"Have you recruited them all?"

He was originally a martial arts person, a member of the Juzi Sect, and when he was a child, Mo Cangkong was in distress, and was finally rescued by the Juzi faction. Therefore, Mo Cangkong and the Giant Sect had a life-changing friendship.

Later, after Mo Cangkong developed, the giant faction was like-minded, and he was arranged by Mo Cangkong to enter the drug administration because he had read. In the past seven or eight years, he did his duty, that is, since five years ago, he found that there was something abnormal in Dr. Lanzhou, and he was sued by the people many times.

He went to find Mo Cangkong, and Mo Cangkong told him to leave it alone.

He didn't care about this matter anymore, but he didn't expect that on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, he woke up in the middle of the night to find that someone had put a silver ticket of 50,000 taels on the table.

At first, he was also terrified, and after finding Mo Cangkong, Mo Cangkong only said to him that this was his share, just put it away.

Since then, he doesn't have to care about anything, he can get tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, the only thing he needs to do is to do nothing and not listen, the people complain that he only needs to block back, and the Taishou Mansion only needs to stop and then report to Mo Cangkong.

By the way, he confessed that three years ago, the owner of the Xinglin Medical Hall and Meng Taishou were close to each other, and it was he who reported to Mo Cangkong. ”
