Chapter 823: Rumors

Li Yan went to Yingxian County, and he went for more than a year, and he didn't hear from him, so he didn't think that he would come back at this time.

"Things are not going very well, Sheng Huai this old fox, there are too many people who have offended, the family is very strictly guarded, those of unknown origin cannot enter the house, and those who are not more than three years old cannot enter the inner house. ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly, for more than a year, he tried his best to get close to Sheng Fu, and it was not easy to get close to Sheng Huai's nurse, and finally he had a chance.

But Liu Han's request is not to see blood, to make an illness and die, which took a lot of thought, in the spring, let Mrs. Sheng be infected with the cold, sick on the bed, lingering for a few months, in the meantime, he secretly drugged from time to time, one of which must be a little wrong, and the task is over.

In order to cover up Xingzang, he did not leave immediately, but stayed for more than a month before finding an opportunity to leave in the open.

"Shanda's mother died a month ago. Li Yan said in a low voice.

Liu Han sighed softly: "It's a pity, such a grand adult should be worried." ”

"Lord Sheng did not report to the imperial court. Li Yan said.

Liu Han smiled, Li Yan also smiled, everything was tacit.

"What about the woman?" asked Liu Han.

"Oh, halfway through the road she left. Li Yan said, approaching the Sheng family, he used a maid of the Sheng family to enter the Sheng family through her, and after he succeeded, he still left the Sheng family with her.

Liu Han looked at him, Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, and Liu Han nodded slightly: "It's so good, it's neat, and there are no traces." ”

After finishing speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The Tiger Group has arrived in Wu County, and it is still handed over to you to take charge, remember, without orders, no action is allowed." ”

"Humble duty understands. Li Yan bowed, Liu Han took out a few silver tickets and handed them to him: "This is not a reward from the imperial court, the palace will not know about this, but your credit, I know." ”

In the last three words, Liu Han accentuated his tone, and Li Yan bowed: "Thank you, my lord!"

After receiving the silver ticket, Liu Han told him the addresses of the members of the Tiger Group, and Li Yan left.

Li Yan came back at this time, and someone asked him to come back by chance, but that night, the person he went to see surprised him very much, and he didn't expect it at all.

However, Li Yan is a long line, and he wants to fish out that person.

Another clue is the Hundred Workshops, but unfortunately the Hundred Workshops escaped this time, that person did not join the Jiangnan Society, and the cooperation with the Jiangnan Association was also the point.

This is in line with his consistent principle of doing things, being cautious and never taking risks.

However, now he is not the point, and now the focus is to let the Jiangnan Hui case be resolved as soon as possible.

In Yangzhou, he promised Lu Yu and Zhang a few families to obtain land from Wu County to compensate for their losses in Yangzhou, but to check the property of the Jiangnan Society, the land is actually very small, and Xu Wei and Chen Ning are the core personnel, and there is a little land at home, not much, the most is Xu Wei, the family has more than 100 acres, and the total is only seven or eight hundred acres, which is far from enough, of course, this is understandable, with the way the Jiangnan Association operates, they don't need too much land.

Compared with the Jiangnan Society, Lu Yu and Zhang's gate valves are rich people who cultivate their own land and weave their own products, and sell their surplus products, which belongs to the inefficient natural economy, while the Jiangnan Society is similar to a modern enterprise, but unfortunately this enterprise will be destroyed in its own hands.

And then the eggs.

What do you have to do with me!

Strictly speaking, it was ruined by Xu Wei's greed.

Liu Han went out of the Jiangnan Society's chief rudder, and now this general rudder was requisitioned by him, Wei Bao took Li Qiao and Wu Qu to follow him, in fact, the three of them knew that Liu Han's cultivation did not need protection at all, and they followed just to help him avoid some trouble.

The Jiangnan Society's power in Wu County is huge, and there are many grassroots people in the market who are willing to die for the Jiangnan Society, in Wei Bao's opinion, it is impossible for these people to hurt Liu Han at all, and they can die under the hands of the high-grade grandmaster, that is their glory.

But this kind of garbage is really annoying, and they are responsible for removing this garbage, so they don't need to bother the officials.

Liu Han walked as a car, his expression was very leisurely, the market was a little depressed, nearly half of the shops in the city were closed, and it was impossible not to be depressed.

A dirty child rushed out of the alley and spat at Liu Han, saliva fell at Liu Han's feet, Li Qiao's face changed, and he was about to step forward, Wei Bao waved his hand slightly, and Li Qiao stopped.

Liu Han passed by casually, and a panicked woman hurriedly ran over and dragged the child back.

"Ignore this kind of thing, just a child. Liu Han said, and Wei Bao stepped forward: "My lord, this is a large number of adults." ”

"Pull it down! You're going to be a sycophant. Liu Han scolded with a smile.

There are still shops that are open, and the guys and pedestrians, seeing Liu Han, hurriedly hid to the side to make way for them.

Wu County is slightly smaller than Yangzhou, but it is much larger than other counties, and the interface is much more prosperous.

In this season, Yangzhou is full of fragrance, Wu County is the same, Yangzhou is plum blossom fragrance, Wu County is peach blossom city, by the water stream, under the corner of the wall, from time to time a green peach tree emerges, there are residual petals under the tree.

Fengshan Inn, not in the city center, but in the southwest of the city, near the water gate, the location is good, the inn is not far from a small wharf, which is conducive to loading and unloading.

The guy at the door was wearing a special costume of Sheren, seeing Liu Han, the guy looked a little nervous, his hand subconsciously held the handle of the knife, staring at him vigilantly, Liu Han went to the door, took out the post, and asked him to report with a smile.

The sheren guy looked at him suspiciously, hesitated to take the post, turned to go in, Liu Han was puzzled, looked down at himself, he didn't wear anything wrong.

Looking up at this inn again, the appearance of the inn is no different from other inns, but the plaque hung is the handwriting of the head of Kasawa Academy, and the pen is strong and relaxed.

An old man with a white beard walked out quickly, and before he could go out, he clasped his fists and saluted.

"Savage man, Feng Xiao has seen adults, I don't know..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Liu Han interrupted with a smile: "The Lord of the Mountain is outside, I thought that the Lord of the Mountain was a young and heroic man, but I didn't expect it to be an old man who is old and strong." ”

Feng Xiao is actually not very old, only in his fifties, he is dressed in a scholarly style, a muslin robe, a copper hairpin in his bun, and the only thing that attracts attention is that he has a gold earring hanging from his ear.

Feng Xiao laughed. The laughter was very hearty: "Your Excellency is polite, please sit inside." ”

Liu Han was not polite, and walked into the inn first, the inn looked bigger than the outside, the outside was an ordinary guest room, through the moon gate, to the backyard is the upper room.

Feng Xiao naturally didn't take Liu Han to the ordinary room, but took him to the backyard, there were a few people dressed in She people in the courtyard of the backyard, and when they saw Feng Xiao bringing Liu Han in, several people didn't avoid it, and bowed down in unison.

"My lord, these are my friends, they are all She people, they are my neighbors who closed the mountain, this is Lin Cheng from Lanxi, this is Lei Ying from Huling, and this is Lan Duo from Fuxi. ”

Liu Han saw the salute one by one, and was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't need to make a special trip now.

"It is my first time to Wu County, and it is also the first time to communicate with She friends. ”

Liu Han apologized first, he didn't know what taboos these ethnic minorities had, and he came here today to appease the She people, and he didn't want to intensify the conflict.

Liu Han's posture was so low, which made Feng Xiao and them very surprised, in the past, when the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty saw them, they all looked high, and regarded them as barbarians, and now Liu Han made them feel refreshed.

"Whatever the adults say, casually, casually. Feng Xiao said with a smile, and while he wanted to let Liu Han into the house, Liu Han shook his head: "I think it's good here, let's talk here." ”

Feng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, just follow the adult, it's just slack." ”

"It's okay," Liu Han said: "Or, in this way, I'll pay for two jars of wine, I heard that the peach blossom fairy in Wu County is quite famous, let's come to two jars of peach blossom fairy, Uncle Feng, what special dishes do you have in this store, two plates." ”

"Okay!" Feng Xiao naturally agreed, and did not argue with Liu Han, and ordered to go down, Liu Han also took out a silver ticket and asked Li Qiao to buy wine.

Feng Xiao asked everyone else in the courtyard to withdraw, and there were only a few of them left in the courtyard.

Liu Han was not allowed to sit in the first place, and the others sat down at will, and Feng Xiao opened his mouth to ask about the Jiangnan Society.

"The Jiangnan Association has a lot of influence in Wu County, and you are also involved, right? Liu Han casually lifted the teapot and poured tea for them one by one, and several people were flattered.

"The seizure of Jiangnan will be an order of the imperial court, Tian Ning and Wei Zhen colluded to steal and sell grain, silk, cotton cloth and porcelain from the treasury, and the lacquerware and bamboo you offered to the court were all sold by Wei Zhen. ”

Feng Xiao and the others were dumbfounded, it was the first time they heard about this, Feng Xiao's face turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly.

"Jiangnan will be one of the buyers, Xu Wei they sold the stolen grain and silk overseas, do you think it should be investigated?" Liu Han said.

"If that's the case, there's really nothing to say. Feng Xiao muttered, and Lin Cheng shouted: "But, my lord, what are our crimes? We don't know about this, why did your lord send troops to seal the mountain?"

"Send troops to seal the mountain?" Liu Han was very surprised, and looked at Feng Xiao in wonder, Feng Xiao nodded and did not speak, Feng Xiao closed the mountain and its vicinity

"Send troops to close the mountain? Where do you know? I'm going to send troops to close the mountain, and I won't come up here today. Liu Han asked rhetorically.

"We don't know who said it, but it has already spread all over the mountain, and my son sent me a letter asking me to go back quickly. Feng Xiao replied, what he didn't say was that the whole territory of Fengshan had been mobilized, and the tribesmen had already taken their swords and arrows to block the entrance to the mountain.

"Have you received such a letter too?" Liu Han turned his head and asked Lin Cheng about them, Lin Cheng nodded, Liu Han's heart sank, it seemed that someone was walking in front of them.

"I see, well, you remember, the case of Wei Zhen and Jiangnan will be handled by me, and what I say is the decision of the imperial court.

I tell you, this is a rumor, you hurry up and send a letter to your family, tell them that the court has no intention of sending troops. Liu Han said solemnly.

Feng Xiao Lin Cheng and they breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became relaxed, Liu Han understood now, no wonder the sheren guy at the door saw him so nervous, and no wonder there were people with knives on the way in, it turned out that the crux of the problem was this.

"The person who spreads this rumor can be punished, provokes the relationship between the court and the She people, causes contradictions between the court and the She people, and even causes a war between the court and the She people, hum, if I catch him, I will not spare him!"

Feng Xiao and the others also hated it, and they shuddered in their hearts, how many She people would die and how many orphans and widows would be added to the war.

"Fortunately, my lord came, and I was going to leave tonight. Feng Xiao said, saying and looking at Lin Cheng and them, after they received the letter from home, Feng Xiao didn't believe it, but Lin Cheng and they believed it a little, Feng Xiao ran to visit Feng Sheng, Feng Sheng came to see him behind closed doors, which made Feng Xiao even more suspicious in their hearts, so they were ready to go back to Fengshan first. At this time, Liu Han came.

Liu Han was very happy, God still favored him, fortunately he had a whim and came to visit, otherwise things would probably be out of control.

But Feng Xiao said that they were going to visit Feng Sheng, and when Feng Sheng closed the door and disappeared, Liu Han couldn't help but hate in his heart, and he was also very vigilant, what does this Feng Sheng mean! Deliberately, he still stood on the side and watched the joke!

"My lord, this Jiangnan Society, what we and Jiangnan will do, it doesn't matter. ”

Letting go of this worry, another worry rose again, Lin Cheng first opened his mouth to defend himself, but obviously he was not good at words, but the meaning was very clear.

Liu Han smiled: "The imperial court asked me to deal with Wei Zhen's case, the Jiangnan meeting case is an extension of Wei Zhen's case, I have already sent to the imperial court, and the first evil must be dealt with for Wei Zhen and the Jiangnan meeting, and the coercion does not ask, the imperial court has approved this plan, and now, I can tell you very clearly that you belong to coercion."

At the same time, please tell the She friends who didn't come, as well as the friends of Shanli, they are the same, they belong to the coercion who does not ask. ”

At this time, Feng Xiao and they were completely relieved, and at this time, the man sent the food up, and Li Qiao also bought the wine back.

The heart went down, Feng Xiao and the others smiled, patted the mud, poured wine, a few bowls of wine, Lin Cheng took off his coat, Feng Xiao hurriedly stopped, but Liu Han smiled and took the initiative to take off his coat, Lin Cheng laughed.

"Lord Liu, at a glance, you know that you are a cheerful person, Cheng, you friend, I Lin Cheng has made up my mind. ”

Feng Xiao hurriedly explained: "My lord, we are all rude men in the mountains, and our words are inappropriate, please forgive me." ”

"That's inappropriate, the lord of the mountain is too worried. Liu Han said with a smile: "The mountain lord doesn't know, I, Liu Han, have only been an official for a few years, and I used to do business in the Western Regions, take the Western Regions business road, and make money with my life."

You don't know, this Western Regions trade road, compared to the sea, the danger is no worse, there are all kinds of dangers, the desert horses, swords and arrows, drink the strongest wine, sleep the wildest beauties, make bold friends. ”

Feng Xiao Lin Cheng looked at each other, and Lin Cheng laughed: "Well said, my lord said well, the Western Regions are commercial, and the desert is a horse! ”

"If I have a chance, I will definitely take you to see it. Liu Han put down the wine bowl with a smile, this wine bowl is relatively small, far less than the sea bowl on the desert.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll be with you!" Lin Cheng was furious.

During the banquet, they were happy, except for Feng Xiao, they were slightly restrained by etiquette and couldn't let go, but Lin Cheng and they were completely let go, you and I had a cup, and I drank to a happy place, Lin Cheng sang loudly, and his rough voice made Liu Han feel like he was back in the desert.

The banquet was scattered, the cups and plates were messy, Lin Cheng was already drunk, but Liu Han was still sober, and Feng Xiao nodded: "My lord has a good amount of alcohol." ”

"This Jiangnan wine is stretching and thick, not as good as the burning knife in Liangzhou, the wine is strong enough, and a bowl is like lighting a fire in the stomach. Liu Han said with a smile, Feng Xiao didn't doubt it, he couldn't help but speak, but he was also full of yearning.

"Jiangnan will be sealed, what are your plans in the future?" asked Liu Han again.

Feng Xiao smiled bitterly, and was frightened for days, but he didn't expect this at all.

However, this is indeed a problem, most of the output of the closed mountains is sold through the Jiangnan Association, and the land of the She people is already barren, and without this income, the She people will be even poorer.

"Let me give you an idea, although the Jiangnan Club is gone, the new Jiangnan Club will rise again, and the sea will still have to go, and soon the fleet will go to sea again, but, in addition to no longer calling the Jiangnan Club, by the way, they will give you a good price. ”

"Really?!" Feng Xiao was skeptical.

"Of course it's true. Liu Han smiled slightly, Lin Cheng fell to the ground, Lan Duo lay on his stomach, only Lei Ying could still stay awake, his hand holding the wine bowl couldn't help shaking, and he muttered words that no one could hear clearly.

"The reason for the seizure of the Jiangnan Society is that the Jiangnan Society violated the laws of the imperial court and committed serious crimes, not to crack down on Jiangnan commerce, there is no agriculture in the world, no work, no wealth, no business, no life; ”

Feng Xiao still didn't understand, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked him again.

"There's something I have to trouble you. Liu Han said.

Feng Xiao hurriedly said, "Please command." ”

"I hope you rush back to Fengshan as soon as possible, tell the Fengshan people, and at the same time inform the Shanli people that the Jiangnan Hui case will not involve She and Shanli people, and this matter is very important. Liu Han said solemnly.

"Don't worry, my lord, tomorrow, I will go back to Fengshan. ”

The matter here has come to an end, and Feng Xiao is also worried about an accident at home, so he can't wait to rush home immediately, so as not to cause trouble for the daredevils at home.

Liu Han was very satisfied with this result, and after the wine was hot, he said goodbye and went back, and halfway through the process, he remembered something, called Wei Bao over, and whispered in his ear, Wei Bao took the order to leave.

Liu Han did not go back to the helm directly, but went straight to Wu County's Taishou Mansion, Feng Sheng was drinking at home, although he was not suspended, but Liu Han took over almost everything in Wu County, and he was suspended even if he was suspended.

"Master Feng, let me ask you, Fengxiao and they came to see you, why didn't you see you?" Liu Han asked when he saw him.

Feng Sheng was full of grievances, but he still didn't dare to clash head-on with Liu Han, and defended: "They must have come for the Jiangnan Society case, and the Jiangnan Society case is handled by adults, and I can't intercede for them." ”

"Ridiculous! How to deal with it, it's up to me to decide, but you are the county guard of Wu County, and you have the responsibility of protecting the people and the land, if the She people are afraid and then raise troops to plot chaos, is it your responsibility or my responsibility!" Liu Han looked at this white face, and couldn't help but feel angry, how did this kid become the county guard!

Feng Sheng's face turned pale, he didn't expect this section at all, to be honest, the matter of She people is very troublesome and tricky to deal with, so he had the heart to watch Liu Han's jokes, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"My lord is alarmist, my Great Jin state affairs are thriving, and She Shanli has also been taught by my Great Jin for a long time, so he will not rebel. ”

Feng Sheng's defense made Liu Han even more angry, he snorted wine, and said coldly: "Now there are rumors on the side of Fengshan, saying that the imperial court is going to send troops to Fengshan, if I don't rush there today, Fengxiao and they will return to Fengshan tomorrow, Fengshan is now on guard for the whole clan, hum, this is going to be a day, you and I will wait for the court to punish the crime!"

Feng Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and asked with a fluke mentality: "Is this true?"

"I just had a drink with Feng Xiao, and he told me personally. Liu stared at him coldly, Feng Sheng couldn't help but chill, Liu said coldly: "I came to Wu County to deal with the Jiangnan Hui case, not to take over the county guard of Wu County, as for official business, whose should it be, or whose is it!"

Liu Han didn't save any face for Feng Sheng, and reprimanded him fiercely, but he didn't want to impeach him yet, now is not a good time to replace Taishou, there must be someone in charge of the county guard's mansion, even if he needs this person to take the blame, but unfortunately there are too few people available on his hands, if only Ma Ye or Han Cheng were there.

However, the information provided by Feng Xiao made Liu Han very vigilant, and some people wanted to disturb the situation in Wu County, but it was not clear what his purpose was.
