Chapter 226: Situ Buer, the talent of the emperor
Chapter 226 Situ Buer, the talent of the emperor
In February 555, the new Earl of Weeping Blood Valley, Leng Zhuo, took a group of retainers to the north, passing through Jinxing City, but did not take the snake rift valley of Dawan Mansion, but along the south of the snake valley, towards the northeast, and finally from Tiandong County in the northeast of Dawan Mansion, arrived at Shanglin Mansion. ()
Shanglin Mansion is the eastern mansion of Chuzhou, and Leng Zhuo and his party had to turn to the west when they entered Shanglin, which was a bit far away according to the distance, but Shanglin Mansion is the prefecture and county where the Nanwu Lu family is located, not to mention that Leng Zhuo, the old man, is now in the convoy.
Passing through Xialin County, it goes straight into Nanwu County, the terrain of Nanwu County is mostly flat, on both sides of the road, there is an endless field connecting the sky to the ground, and there is no end in sight, and the Lu family occupies more than one percent of this field in Nanwu, don't look at only one percent, but it is one percent of all the acres of land in a county, and it is not less than 100,000 hectares.
When Lu Chanyue said lightly, Leng Zhuo almost didn't drop his glasses, but fortunately he didn't have glasses: "100,000 hectares, so much, how much does it cost!"
Lu Chanyue looked at Leng Zhuo's exaggerated expression but covered her mouth and giggled, the two have not been in contact for a long time, but because of the marriage contract, coupled with Leng Zhuo's deliberate flattery, the relationship between the two can be said to be heating up rapidly, Lu Chanyue's body and mind are now seventy or eighty percent down, only the last step is missing.
"My Nanwu Lu family has been separated from the main family for more than 300 years, in fact, it has long been a family of its own, except for the Lu family's elders' meeting every three years, in fact, the influence of the main family on us is negligible, three hundred years, my Nanwu Lu family has been conscientious and conscientious, and has worked hard to accumulate to have today's family business!"
"It's already very powerful!" Leng Zhuo couldn't hear the jealousy in Lu Chanyue's voice, according to the current development trend of the Leng family, it is estimated that it will not take one or two decades, which is enough to surpass the three hundred years of accumulation of the Lu family, and it is false to say that he does not taste in his heart.
The Nanwu Lu family is the largest family in Nanwu County, and when it comes to Nanwu, you will definitely think of the Lu family, which is not available to the "nouveau riche" like the Leng family, and the old house of the Nanwu Lu family also opened Leng Zhuo's eyes, and he actually occupied a whole small hill, which is too big.
Looking at Leng Zhuo's exaggerated expression again, Lu Chanyue still couldn't help but laugh: "Don't make such a fuss, our Nanwu Lu family is rarely separated, so there are more than 10,000 people surnamed Lu living in this old mansion, counting some servants and maids, there are almost fourteen or five thousand, it looks very big, but it's actually very crowded!"
Leng Zhuo swallowed and spit, this is the foundation of the big family, there are tens of thousands of people in the Lu family, how many people are there in the Lu family's family, the more I think about Leng Zhuo and depressed, the Leng family is just two people, the connections are withering! Whether a family is prosperous or not, you can see it by looking at the population.
Leng Zhuo and his entourage naturally entered the main courtyard directly, as the head of the family, they naturally occupied the best resources in the old mansion, entered the main hall, sat the guests and hosts, and let people serve tea, Lu Wenjun said: "I have asked people to prepare a big boat, and you can go directly into the Chu River by taking the river from Nanwu, which is very convenient, and it can't delay you too much, so you must live here for two days, so that I can do my best to be a landlord!"
It's hard to be warm, Lu Wenjun said this, naturally he couldn't shirk it, Leng Wushu agreed, and Leng Zhuo also wanted to see the heritage of the century-old family, in the past, he only heard that a certain family in a certain place was a famous royal family, and the family wealth was huge, but it was far less profound than his own experience.
Leng Zhuo and his entourage temporarily stayed in Nanwu, but in Qingzhou, they had already laid a net, waiting for Leng Zhuo and his entourage to throw themselves into the net.
Qingzhou, one of the nine states of the Tianlong Empire, is bordered by Yunzhou in the north, Zhongzhou in the west, Yangzhou in the south, and Chuzhou in the southwest.
The two major rivers of the Tianlong Empire, the Tianhe River and the Qinluo River two major water systems pass through Qingzhou and enter the East China Sea, plus the Huaishui in the middle of Qingzhou, the three rivers converge, Qingzhou has more than one water and many mountains, between the three major water systems, there are more than ten large and small mountain systems, and the hills and mountains occupy three points of Qingzhou.
And this complex terrain of mountains, forests and rivers also makes the people of Qingzhou fierce, especially the rebellion of the kings a hundred years ago, although a large number of people were imprisoned in the city of termination, and many were directly cut down, but there were also many people who participated in the chaos fled into the mountains and forests of Qingzhou, occupying the mountains as the king, rejecting the water and cowardly!
Although the government has been conquering for many years, it has not been able to completely exterminate, and after the return of Emperor Shenwu, the throne has changed frequently, and the expedition is naturally intermittent, which has given these thieves a chance to recuperate, especially these thieves are not ordinary people falling into the grass, but the private army of the kings, and even the Jing Rui dead soldiers raised by the big family, after taking root in the mountains and lakes of Qingzhou, they quickly adapted to this harsh environment, and have been inherited to this day, and even some century-old thieves and Kou families have appeared.
Now the thieves have long been different from what they used to be, and the force forced out by the harsh environment has long been many times more fierce than the guards and horses of the corrupt places, plus these thieves occupy the mountains and waters, and are familiar with the complex terrain in the middle of Qingzhou, opening up a lot of convenient trade routes, earning a lot from them, and even some are inextricably involved with the family.
Therefore, although Qingzhou suppressed bandits and chased them every year, the thieves were unscathed, but started trading with the local government and became an unregulated emperor of the free land.
In the middle of Qingzhou, Mount Tai Mountain Range is the largest mountain system in Qingzhou, and the Tai Hills stretching out at the west foot of Mount Tai block the official road from south to north, Leng Invincible was assassinated last time, right here, and the person who ambushed is Situ Fuji, who proclaimed himself the king of Tanglin in Taiqiu.
Situ Bu'er was a prince, and Shenwu Emperor is a brother, competing for the throne, after the defeat, Situ Buer's grandfather was lucky enough to lead a group of people and horses to escape into the Mount Taishan Mountains, hiding for more than ten years, painstakingly suffering, taking root in Mount Tai, now it has been a hundred years, and Situ Fuji has now become one of the several major thieves in Qingzhou, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, distributed all over Mount Tai, and there are a lot of dependence.
Among the many hills and forests of Taiqiu, there is a rather beautiful place, where a market town in the valley is built, and it has a prosperity that is different from the outside world.
Wang Jin didn't like the atmosphere of this Xiaoyao Town very much, there were fights everywhere, as well as the strong smell of rouge and spirits, and the disgusting smell of blood, Wang Jin obviously didn't come here for the first time, but frowned slightly, and strode up the chaotic street.
Walking through, at the end of the town, but it seems to enter another world, if the former is hell, then the latter is heaven, this is a gorgeous and luxurious palace, on the city walls, the warrior in black armor, cold light and cold eyes look at everyone who approaches this palace, a murderous aura always makes people feel uncomfortable.
Wang Jin soon walked into the side hall under the leadership of an old man wearing eunuch clothes, and only when he entered, he saw a man sitting on the top, wearing a royal four-clawed blue-scaled prince robe, and an extraordinary bearing between his eyebrows, Situ Buer, his father once said that this person has a majestic talent, if he is a prince, he is the material of the emperor!
"Brother Situ, I haven't seen you for many days, but it's okay!"
Situ Buer put down the cup in his hand, smiled lightly, and said, "Brother Wang has come to give me a big gift again!
"Brother Situ, it seems that the matter of the last time has not been resolved, according to the rules, take people's money to do things for others, but it seems to be ....... ”
"Heh, Brother Wang is hypocritical, although Leng Wushu is not dead, he is also injured, and the Leng family's murderous spirit is enough to kill that old guy, which should also be regarded as the completion of the commission!" Situ Buer said unhurriedly.
Hurting an earl and killing an earl don't look at the difference between a word, but the meaning is different, although the former will anger the government, but it is not without a turnaround, at most it will be suppressed twice, it will be a big scene, and the limelight will be over in the past, but if you really kill an earl, the empire will definitely not sit idly by, maybe it is not necessary to send a forbidden army and send a master to suppress it, he is not a fool!
"Let's talk about this time, why bother with the last time, this is not Brother Wang's xingge!"
Wang Jin looked at Situ Buer, my xingge, what xingge am I? The other party's words are sealed, if he is really entangled, but he will be ashamed: "This is the remuneration this time, I hope Brother Situ can do it cleanly, don't let people go like last time!"
Situ Buer took the thing, but he didn't open it, but pressed it under the palm of his hand, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Wang, I want to know how long that old emperor can live!"
Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "The emperor dragon is healthy and ......!"
"Fool me with words, this king also has ears and eyes in the imperial capital, if there is no rumor, I will not ask like this!"
"I'm just a bystander at home, do you think I can touch this kind of thing!"
"Hehe, why should Brother Wang be arrogant, in fact, you and I are the same kind of people, I want the throne, and you want to take the throne of the family!"
"You and I are not people who are willing to be lonely, since you want to take it, you must be able to take it and put it down!"
Wang Jin didn't answer, but said: "A month ago, the Wei family sent a messenger south to Chuzhou, and we checked the letterhead halfway, and the Leng family will soon be north again again, what my grandfather wants to see most in his life is that the Leng family is ruined, so this time, I hope Brother Situ can do it neatly!"
"The little brother still has something to do, so he will stay soon, and say goodbye!" Wang Jin said and strode out.
Situ Buer didn't get up, but leaned back on the back chair, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the chair handle, for a moment, the corner of Situ Buer's mouth showed a slight smile: "You are telling me that the old emperor can't stand it for long, otherwise why would the Wei family be so anxious! Brother Wang, it's a good thing not to be lonely, but it's a pity that it's hidden too deeply, but it seems to lack atmosphere!"
Situ Buji said to himself, stood up, and disappeared behind the beaded curtain door of the luxurious hall.
Wang Jin left Situ Buer's palace and did not stay for half a minute, as if he would be infected with some bad luck if he stayed for a while.
"Young Master, where are we going now!"
"Go to the upper hill!"
