Twenty-two: Lawlessness
"Tell me, what's next?" Mr. Wen, who was standing at the window, let out a long sigh and asked.
"Let's do it together!" Lu Jia said fiercely, still thinking of the dilapidated gourd in Xu Fan's hand in his heart.
Both of them moved their eyes to Lu Baishan and watched quietly. After being silent for a long time, Lu Baishan grabbed his right hand, and the candle flame in his palm was instantly extinguished.
"The Xu family is a Jiangnan family, and they are already acting rashly during the day. Are you really blind in the eyes of the court? ”
Lu Jia narrowed his eyes, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and said coldly, "Baishan, do you want to turn your back on the family?" Don't forget that you can enter Diaoyutai, and the Lu family has no less effort and relationships. ”
"If it weren't for the help of the Lu family, you, a person from a poor family, would still want to enter the Diaoyutai? Don't forget, everything you have now was given to you by the Lu family. ”
Lu Jia's tone became more and more unpolite, and Mr. Wen on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and when he noticed the ugly look on Lu Baishan's face, he could only cough dryly.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Lu Jia also felt that his speech was a little excessive, so he had to wave his hand, and his tone was much softer, but there was still a trace of indifference and resentment, "Baishan, don't you want to come forward as a Diaoyutai silver fish bag, you can hide your identity." In this operation, the Yin Yang Gate must control the Xu Mansion. ”
"That's what the other three mean?" Lu Baishan didn't look at Lu Jia, but moved his gaze to Mr. Wen, made eye contact with the other party, and asked.
Mr. Wen didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, how could I lie to you. Only by mastering the wealth of the Xu Mansion can our families use the trick of Yin and Yang Gate. No matter who it is, they would never have thought that behind the Yin and Yang Gate is actually our five major families. ”
Lu Baishan snorted coldly, "I know, there is nothing else to do in the future, and there are fewer gatherings like this." I don't want to kill a silver fish bag every time I do it. ”
"It's not easy to explain to Shenjing, don't forget, there is also a deputy hundred households in Jinling, who follows Qin Ruhai's side closely. I still haven't found out who this person is. ”
Lu Jia moved his wrist and got up to leave. He also has to repair well tonight, after fighting with Xu Fan before, the cyclone acupoint in his body is very empty, and he needs new medicine to cultivate.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi dissipated, and only the Yin-Yang Sect, which had inherited the classics of the Yin-Yang Academy, had some way to obtain the elixir medicine that replenished the Qi in the body.
"Mr. Wen, next, should you Guangling Mansion also move?" Lu Baishan looked back at Lu Jia's figure and disappeared into the night, and asked out loud.
As one hundred households of Diaoyutai, he was ordered to investigate the Yin and Yang Gate. Qin Ruhai was still staring at Jinling, he didn't want to be caught.
"Lord Lu, don't worry. The government will cancel its inspections of various parts of the city tomorrow. Guangling City will be completely restored to its original state, and when the time comes, our Wen family will also send people to come. ”
Lu Baishan withdrew his hand, walked with his hands in his hands, stood at the door, looking at the messy courtyard, the weeds were deep, "This is the best, this matter is beneficial to both parties." We still need to work together. ”
The night wind blew through the grass and leaves, making a rattling sound.
"King Nan'an's side won't keep watching, once we succeed, Li Muzhi will definitely find a way to stop it." Mr. Wen stroked his beard and looked in the direction of Jinling.
"This is indeed a trouble, the news given to me by the people below has been confirmed, King Nan'an has returned to Jinling. I didn't expect a Xu Mansion to involve Jiangnan officialdom. Lu Baishan's index finger rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb and quietly listened to the wind around him.
The king of Nan'an and the other two kings sat in the southern half of the country, and their five major families had to face the dilemma.
The ancestors of the Xu family gave up their family wealth to donate to Taizu, which was rewarded by Jiangnan Salt, and the Xu family has been conscientious for so many years, working hard to do good errands for the imperial court.
But after all, salt is a fat gap, after several generations of accumulation, Xu Fu started from salt and weaved a big net in the south of the Yangtze River.
Whether it is Jiangnan officialdom or the vassal king, they are unwilling to make a direct attack on the Xu Mansion.
After all, no matter which official is still a servant of the vassal king's mansion, who has not received the filial piety silver money from the Xu Mansion.
Time has passed, whether it is the big people in Shenjing or some big families in Jiangnan, they all want to take more.
This also created the current situation of the Xu Mansion, and at the same time, the imperial court also wanted to completely recover the salt affairs, and even set up a salt administration yamen in Guangling.
As a result, Lord Lin, the first Yanzheng Yamen, died his wife and children the year before last, and his daughter had to be sent to Shenjing's grandmother for adoption.
On this night, Guangling City was drunk with money, and a large number of people who were privately involved with the Xufu industry died on the bed of the woman in the mansion or the Qinglou.
It was another bloody storm, which disturbed the dream of Wang Wenhua, the prefect of Guangling.
"Wen Hao has seen Lord Wang." Mr. Wen received the reply from the government officials early in the morning, and his heart sank, he just promised Lu Baishan last night to relieve the inspection in Guangling City, but he didn't expect that kid from Xu Mansion to be so decisive.
I learned from the mouth of the Hui official that all the people who died last night had done something to the Xu Mansion property in private.
Mr. Wen respectfully handed the document in his hand to Wang Wenhua's desk.
After learning that the governor of Jinling sent a hundred households from Diaoyutai, there were also 1,000 meters of government soldiers. As the prefect of Guangling, Wang Wenhua finally slept a few times in the past few days.
Last night, I even started a few new tricks with my concubine, and I was in a good mood in the morning.
However, as soon as I entered the study, I was disturbed by the solemn expression of Master Wen.
After receiving the paperwork handed by Mr. Wen, the hand that was about to brush the beard was frozen in the air. Wang Wenhua's eyes widened, and he looked at the contents of the document with a shocked expression.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Wenhua roared, "Is this kid Xu Fan crazy!" Can their Xu family be lawless in Guangling City? ”
The document accurately recorded the information of the deceased, and also deliberately marked the industrial dispute between the deceased and the Xu Mansion, and even made it clear how much money the Xu Mansion had swallowed in private.
"Lord Fuzun, dissipate your anger. If you're angry, your body isn't worth it. Mr. Wen poured a cup of warm tea, handed it to the table, and slowly explained, "These people, there is no evidence to prove that they were assassinated by the Xu Mansion. ”
"It's a butcher's act, damn it, it's so damn! actually used such a lowly means of assassination. This is Guangling, if everyone uses assassination to solve each other's personal grievances, what is the use of the government? Wang Wenhua drank the warm tea in a big gulp, and the anger subsided a lot.
"My lord, do you want to let Diaoyutai go directly to investigate." Mr. Wen cautiously suggested.
Since it is impossible to tear off the patrol in the city, then arrange for the people from Diaoyutai to get close to the Xu Mansion, so that it is more convenient for Lu Baishan, Lu Jia and others to act.
Wang Wenhua raised his head suddenly, stared at Mr. Wen for a long time, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Okay, good, this method is good." ”
Wang Wenhua's reaction exceeded Mr. Wen's expectations, and at first he looked at Wang Wenhua's narrowed eyes, thinking that he was about to start doubting himself again.
Diaoyutai went to investigate Xu's house, which is simply great. Diaoyutai has the responsibility of supervising the rivers and lakes, and it just so happened that the Xu Mansion was invaded by the Yin and Yang Gate, which happened to be a matter of the rivers and lakes, and after handing it over, he Wang Wenhua could get rid of the responsibility.
"I'll fix a book, and you take my name to see the Lord Lu who met Diaoyutai. It is necessary to explain the reason clearly, and they must take over this errand. ”
The corners of Mr. Wen's mouth showed a hint of relief, he really didn't expect that Wang Wenhua would be so eager to promote this matter.
Not long after, Wang Wenhua finished writing the letter, handed it to Mr. Wen, and watched the other party leave the palace with an eager face.
......
In Guangling City, dozens of people died in one night, and more than a dozen funerals were held at the same time.
Originally, it would not cause much of a sensation, but with the Diaoyutai blue-striped fish bag leading the government soldiers to investigate door-to-door, it finally caused a huge sensation in the city.
The case that can get the Diaoyutai blue fish bag to come to the door to investigate must be a big case.
In the morning, seven or eight Qinglou teahouses in Guangling City were sealed, and there were even industries in Xufu. And the deceased's house also has blue fish bags and government soldiers stationed.
At the same time, all the crime scenes appeared with the figure of the herring fish bag.
And the culprit of all this, Bai Luohe, who was wearing a white dress, was sitting in the flower hall of the Wave Garden, slowly tasting the dishes in front of him.
A table of breakfast, more than 10 kinds of dishes, showing the luxury of wealthy merchants.
Bai Luohe's face was indifferent, his mouth was slightly open, and he tasted the white glutinous porridge. "They're all killed, are you sure you're not worried about the Diaoyutai people coming to you?"
Xu Fan, who was sitting opposite, took the Jinpa handed over by Zi'er and wiped the corners of his mouth, and laughed dryly, "Don't worry, even if I don't do it, they won't let it go easily." If you want to be a mortal enemy, why worry? ”
"That's Diaoyutai." Bai Luohe put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, glanced at most of the dishes on the table that had not been touched, shook his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart, "It's really a shame, a breakfast is such a huge waste." ”
"Diaoyutai? They were just silver-patterned fish bags sent by Jinling, and the rest of them were just following orders. ”
Xu Fan untied the worn-out gourd tied around his waist, poured two glasses of wine, and motioned to Zi'er on the side to send one of them to Bai Luohe. "After a busy night, drink a glass of wine to relieve fatigue."
"Drink to relieve fatigue?"
In Bai Luohe's stunned gaze, Xu Fan picked up the wine glass in front of him and tasted it very happily.
Smelling the wine handed over by Zi'er, Bai Luohe felt the familiar feeling from yesterday, and after a moment of silence, she finally took the wine glass, slowly tasted a small sip, and finally drank it all.
Unlike yesterday, this time when the wine was in her stomach, Bai Luohe clearly felt a warm current, which was nourishing her cyclonic acupoints.
"You drink..."Bai Luohe only vaguely felt a warm current nourishing the cyclone acupoint last night, and at first thought that his cultivation had improved.
Now it can be determined that there is a problem with Xu Fan's drink.
"Don't ask, you do it for me. I will not do you any wrong. Xu Fan poured another glass of wine.
This time, he poured only one glass.
Bai Luohe looked at the dilapidated gourd in Xu Fan's hand, and had complicated thoughts in his heart, if the master knew the subtleties of this gourd, I am afraid that he would snatch it at any cost yesterday.
"We're going to be busy today, so you can take a look at it when the time comes." Xu Fan raised his head and drank the second glass of wine, and gently put the wine glass on the table, "Let's go, let's go meet those people." ”
