The leader of the Che Ma Gang, in the final analysis, is just a gangster leader, a member of the three religions and nine streams in the rivers and lakes. Even if the chariot and horse gang smashed the pot and sold iron, it was impossible to scrape together tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy 5,000 quintals of grain and donate it to the imperial court for disaster relief. That's 600,000 catties of grain. Originally, Liu Yu thought it was donated by a mysterious businessman in the local area and didn't want to be too public, but now it seems that it is difficult for these rice grains to come in the right way.

"Thank you General Liu for helping the chariots and horses to uphold justice in Chang'an City, and the imperial court will have a great credit to General Liu for eradicating Xingqing in one fell swoop." After taking his seat, Qu Shu smiled and thanked, "In addition, there is my brother who is not angry, General Liu is willing to give him the opportunity to serve the imperial court." This is what my brother has always hoped for. After the little woman sent the coffin of the old master and the widow back to her hometown, she passed through Fangzhou City on the way back to Chang'an, and she has not shown up, please forgive me. ”

It is not helpful to say too many kind words. Liu Yu was still more concerned about the origin of the five thousand loads of grain.

"I don't know if Qu is in charge, those grains...... Where did it come from? Liu Yu's face was slightly embarrassed and asked.

Qu Shu smiled and said, "The wool comes out of the sheep. ”

Liu Yu didn't understand the meaning of Qu Shu, and asked, "How is this a method?" ”

"It is reported that the grain requisition of the king of Chu in Fangzhou was not smooth, and many rich households used rice mixed with sand to make it shoddy, so that more than half of the grain requisition in Fangzhou was secondary rice. This wool is from these sheep, and the court has no way to track it down, but after all, the Che Ma Gang is from the rivers and lakes, and it is still easy to investigate these things in private, and ...... it again by the way" Qu Shu stopped talking and said with a smile, "It's better not to go into details." ”

Liu Yu understood this, the Che Ma Gang went to investigate first, and then coerced those rich households to hand over the grain arrears. Originally, the imperial court bought rice at an equal price with those rich households. And when it falls into the hands of the chariot and horse gang, it doesn't cost a penny. The whole out of an empty glove white wolf. But those rich families also had to give in, once their bad deeds were stabbed out by the chariot and horse gang, it was the crime of "bullying the king" to deceive the imperial court and send them to fill their lives with inferior food.

"Thank you for your trouble."

was originally the younger sister of his subordinates, and he was also the leader of the chariot and horse gang in Chang'an City, Liu Yu should be warmly entertained even in terms of etiquette. But thinking about this Qu Shu's style of acting, he really didn't dare to compliment, plus the Chema Gang was originally a gang that started with human trafficking and speculation and collecting protection money, Liu Yu didn't dare to get too close to them in front of Han Sheng and Qu Ning.

Talking and talking about the play just now. Obviously, there is something else to hide a deep meaning, Qu Shu said with a smile: "The little girl likes to sing, so she was rude in front of General Liu, and there are not too many insinuations, General Liu doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yu said that it was too late and was ready to go back to rest. Qu Shu was not reluctant, but just made a request to leave Qu Zhu with their brother and sister to say goodbye, Liu Yue glanced at Qu Zhu, Qu Zhu has always been embarrassed, and now Liu Yu gave him the opportunity to serve the imperial court. He was also hired by the imperial court as a seven-grade official because of his meritorious work in finding new crops, and he also knew how precious it was. It is a big taboo to have dealings with people in the rivers and lakes.

"Since it is a brother and sister reunion, this general can't help but give Qu Dangjia face, but tomorrow your brother will go back to the post house."

Qu Shu smiled and nodded, and Liu Yu and his party walked out of the Huiyue Tower.

Han Sheng was silent all the time, and when he went out into the street, he couldn't help asking, "Little Brother Liu wouldn't know the origin of this Qu Zhu in advance, right?" ”

Liu Yu sighed and said, "I did know it for a long time. ”

"Aren't you afraid that his identity will cause you trouble in the future?" Han Sheng asked with some apprehension.

Liu Yu didn't say anything more, he knew that Han Sheng was reminding him that leaving a Qu Zhu was like leaving a time bomb by his side, and if someone talked about this matter in the future, it would not be an exaggeration to judge him as a "bad official". This crime will be punished with a warning and demotion, and at worst, it will be dismissed and no longer used by the imperial court.

At the beginning, just because Qu Zhu's debauchery made him feel a sense of pity, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed inappropriate to keep Qu Zhu.

Back at the post house, Sui Yu had already gone back to the merchant house to rest. Xu Xuanzhu had a lot of small gifts brought by Sui Yu, which were nothing more than the ornaments of his daughter's house, one by one very chic, Xu Xuanzhu was also very happy to hold it in his hand, Lu Chuer wanted to reach out and touch it, but she beat her hand back.

"Husband is back?" In the past few days, Liu Yu's arm has gradually improved, and Xu Xuanzhu's face has a smile, "But did you see the person who delivered the rice?" ”

Liu Yu told the original story of today's trip, and Xu Xuanzhu said: "The leader of the Che Ma Gang should be a bold person, who can serve the imperial court, no matter what the motive is, it is always a blessing. ”

Liu Yu has always been mindful of Qu Shu's identity issue, and now it has been solved by Xu Xuanzhu, thinking about it. It doesn't matter if she is Qu Zhu's sister or not, anyway, these 5,000 loads of grain are also obtained for free, and there is no chariot and horse gang, and there is no 5,000 loads of grain for disaster relief.

Xu Xuanzhu pulled Liu Yu to see the gifts given to her by Sui Yu, Sui Yu went to a lot of places this time to buy and sell well salt, and the gifts she brought also had local characteristics, Liu Yu didn't think these things were fun, but her daughter's family had a unique hobby for jewelry. Xu Xuanzhu is like this, and Lu Chuer is even more so.

Lu Chu'er was almost drooling when she was greedy, and begged: "General, you can send one or two pieces to your subordinates, one is fine, if you don't send hairpins, hand ropes are fine, you see this is not worth much." ”

Xu Xuan raised his face and said, "These gifts are gifts from others, how can they be given to me easily?" Chu'er, you are becoming more and more unruly, and it is better to find you a mother-in-law to marry you earlier, so as not to have nothing to do every day. ”

Lu Chuer heard that her general was going to marry her, and hurriedly fled without a trace. For a girl who only likes to play and has such opportunities, getting married is like finding a grave for her. It is more difficult to let a rough girl like Lu Chuer go to her husband and children than to kill her.

"Husband, Chu'er, this girl...... I'm really afraid that she won't be able to marry in the future. Xu Xuanzhu couldn't help but worry about the sisters around him, "I don't know how to be a female celebrity, I don't know how to make a fire, I don't know how to be a good wife and mother, I can dance with a sword and a sword, who dares to marry." ”

Liu Yu smiled: "Madame is talking about yourself?" ”

Xu Xuanzhu's face was embarrassed, thinking that what she said was indeed talking about herself. In the past, she was much more worried about being lonely than she was now worried about Lu Chuer, but there was still a good husband who married her, and now she is still laughing beside her.

Xu Xuanzhu blinked, and said pitifully: "That husband...... Shouldn't you take pity on the concubine? ”

In the dead of night, Lu Chu'er's troublemaker also went back to rest. After leaving Chang'an City, the husband and wife also had the joy of fish and water for the first time. The love between husband and wife also makes Liu Yu more dependent in this world.

…………

Sui Yu brought a lot of entourage with her, preparing to establish a branch of the Sui family's licensed goods in Fangzhou, and also wanted to prepare for industrial projects such as restaurants. Occasionally, Sui Yu would also go to the post house to have a look and talk to Xu Xuanzhu about family life.

Every time he saw Liu Yu, Sui Yu still had that unnatural expression, Xu Xuanzhu didn't think so, but gradually discovered the clues. This sister of the Xu family is interested in her husband, and wants to enter the door by taking the route of her relationship with the lady. Fortunately, she did not resist Sui Yu, Sui Yu didn't say anything about this, and she didn't say a word.

The grain requisition on the side of the king of Chu continued, but everything had nothing to do with Su Yan and Liu Yu. Ming Jin returned to the King of Chu and continued to be his Infernal Affairs.

Su Yan still continued to be a sightseeing tourist, taking Hu Xuan and a few followers to run in Manfang Prefecture every day, and only encountered one trouble in the middle, a local official second generation fought with him because of a conflict with crickets, and the other party was injured by Su Yan's entourage and was accused of going to the official mansion. The official master is the father of the second generation of the official, and when he heard that Su Yan was the king of Yu, he was frightened, not to mention the investigation, and he was stunned to cure his son for the crime of committing murder on the street, and then beat dozens of boards. When he came back to talk to Liu Yu, Su Yan seemed to enjoy this kind of tyrant-like life very proudly.

Han Sheng continued to stay in Fangzhou City, he, like Liu Yu, was waiting for the emperor's latest will, and he was also waiting for the news that Tang Cai and Gan Mao's two uncles and nephews had arrived in Chang'an safely. Because he was afraid of being intercepted halfway, Liu Yu asked Qi Fang to deliberately take the north road to Tongguan in a big circle, so as to avoid the range of Huai Wang's power. Although this is safe, it takes a lot of time, and it takes less than ten days to complete the journey, and it takes half a month to walk before I receive the news from the imperial court, and the uncle and nephew successfully enter Beijing.

The will of the imperial court also came down, and ordered King Yu and Liu Yu, who was "injured at work", to return to Chang'an immediately. (To be continued......)
