Chapter 68: Returning to Guo's Mansion
Guo Mansion.
Looking at the big plaque at the door, Lu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sure enough, it's Guo Zheng's style!" ”
Opening a mansion is not something that can be opened if you want to, Guo Zheng must have this qualification.
Don't talk about official positions, just one Tanhualang is enough.
The champion is not necessarily the most literate, but Tanhualang must be the most handsome and favored by the emperor.
Ancient people also looked at faces, and more than modern times!
Lu Fan stepped forward and patted the big iron ring on the head door vigorously, making a 'bang' sound.
After a while, the door did not open, and a 'small window' opened in the side door, and a head poked out.
"Who are you.... Taoist? ”
The porter was stunned for a moment, thinking that someone who didn't know the number of etiquette came to give a gift, but it was a young Taoist priest.
In other words, is this Taoist priest a serious Taoist priest? So handsome?
"My name is Lu Fan, you go and report it, your Lord Guo and I know each other very well."
Lu Fan greeted casually.
The porter looked Lu Fan up and down, didn't dare to be careless, and directly opened a small door: "Dao Chief, come in and talk." ”
After letting Lu Fan in, he hurriedly called someone to go to the backyard to spread the word.
At this time, it is enough to see the changes in the Guo family.
In the past, when Guo was in charge of the county, there were rules but they were not so heavy.
The head door is always open, and two porters are waiting.
Now...
Lu Fan's eyes swept around, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Big family!
There were seven or eight young men in the concierge alone, and all kinds of daily necessities were placed in the room, including beds.
You can also vaguely see objects such as water and fire sticks, gongs, and torches.
Looking further ahead, there is a large feng shui stone, and through the feng shui stone is the lobby that is the first to enter.
There is a row of small wings on each side, the role is unknown, and it is likely to be a 'duty room' where the night watchman lives.
This is the pattern of the first entrance, and the whole courtyard is a large mansion with three entrances.
Lu Fan is not proficient in Kanyu Feng Shui, but he can also see that the Feng Shui of this house is excellent.
"Guo Zheng is not greedy, I'm afraid it's not the house that his second wife paid for, right? Tsk, more wives is better, in addition to being able to use themselves, they all have their own advantages. ”
Lu Fan smacked his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, there was a cacophony, mixed with the slight sound of hooves.
Lu Fan's face suddenly became a little weird.
"I'll go, can't I? Isn't this just a three-entry house, and you can't wrap up riding a horse..."
In the next second, Guo Zheng was riding a small donkey, and Da appeared in Lu Fan's field of vision.
“.......”
Gan, a big dog, riding a donkey in your own home, showing off your yard?
"Virtuous brother!"
Guo Zheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Fan, and then shouted eagerly.
He tumbled off the donkey and ran briskly to meet him.
"You.... Got my letter? ”
Guo Zheng was also a little unusually moved, he just found a messenger to deliver a letter to Lu Fan, and he must have arrived, but the messenger had not come back yet, but Lu Fan arrived in advance.
Obviously, this Lu Xian brother took the Guo family as his own and came in advance!
“........”
Lu Fan wanted to say no, it was your eldest wife who called me over.
The atmosphere was strong at the moment, and he was not embarrassed to spoil his emotions, so he could only nod hesitantly.
Guo Zheng led Lu Fan to the inner house and instructed the family to prepare wine and food.
After sitting down, he shouted to the family: "Send someone to call Erlang!" ”
Jiro?
Lu Fan groaned in his heart and didn't ask who Erlang was.
The two sat down to greet each other, Guo Zheng was quite bitter, and by the way, he told Lu Fan what the situation was now.
After he took office, his friends in the DPRK and China quickly sent a message.
The general meaning is: after settling, make the results as quickly as possible.
Guo Zheng naturally knew what this meant, and specified that something was wrong in the court.
After that, there was a drastic pursuit of salt, and several clashes broke out in just a few days.
Peng Fei led a group of masters to keep running, destroying one salt mill after another.
But this is not enough, these are all deliberately released by the Salt Gang to cover people's ears.
To put it bluntly, when an official needs merit, he will communicate with the Salt Gang in advance, and then destroy these salt mills.
The Salt Gang is even more entrenched than Guo Zheng imagined!
Wu Yuanping, whom Lu Fan met by chance before, took the task to go out to destroy the salt mill.
Speaking of this, Guo Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xian, if there is no accident, Yuanping will definitely not have a big harvest today." ”
Lu Fan was stunned: "Why?" ”
Their gang is an absolute elite soldier, a BMW fast knife, and even wears armor.
This kind of strength is among mortals, even if you meet a martial arts master, you will not be afraid.
The group of more than 30 knights faced Wu Yuanping's dozen or so people, and I was afraid that they would not be able to please them.
Guo Zheng opened his mouth, and before he could say one, two, three, a gentle and dignified voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Maybe it's too big to go."
The voice..... Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and hurriedly got up to salute.
"I've seen my sister-in-law!"
A beautiful woman in her thirties, with excellent maintenance and extraordinary bearing, came.
A little maid was beside her, holding her arm.
To be honest, this stance is a bit big.
Even Guo Zheng's eldest wife, Lu Qian, is the eldest daughter of the prime minister.
"Uncle, sit down, I heard the magpie crying in the morning, and I didn't sleep until the evening, so I looked forward to the noble man."
Lu Qian said with a smile.
She's blocked the golden ticket thing.
What a talented woman with a clear mind!
Lu Fan smiled bitterly, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
It is better to come for brotherhood than to be driven by money 10,000 times.
After Lu Fan sat down, Guo Zheng carefully helped Lu Qian to sit down.
Seeing this, Lu Fan seemed to understand something.
No matter how good Lu Qian's background is, she won't let her husband serve her, this is not in line with the etiquette, it can only be...
His gaze fell on the other man's lower abdomen, which was covered by clothing.
The conversation is back to business.
Guo Zheng pinched the wine glass and kept knocking on the stone platform: "Peng Fei can't go out anymore, Yuanping has a lot of actions today, I'm afraid that some people are eyeing it." ”
One sentence directly points through the situation.
Yangzhou is one of the three prefectures and one of the most important areas for salt supervision.
The Salt Gang has been entrenched in Gangnam Province for many years, and they have long operated this place into iron barrels.
Not to mention far away, as far as Guo Zheng's manpower is concerned, he will never be able to hide it from the other party if he is a little troubled.
Perhaps the previous 'big victory' was deliberately indulged by the other party, allowing Guo Zheng to arrest people and seize it, just to give some credit to alleviate the urgent need.
The rabbit is anxious and bites, not to mention the salt patrol imperial history.
After thinking about it, Lu Fan couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Brother Guo, are you a little too impatient to do something to the salt gang when you come up?" ”
"If you start with the people and can't stop selling, then stop buying first, and you can stabilize the situation to some extent."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hearty and crisp man's laughter came from outside the courtyard.
"Hahaha, I'll just say that the eldest brother didn't bother me for the past two days, it turned out that he got the guidance of a master!"
Lu Fan turned his head to look, and a young man who looked like a scholar walked quickly, bringing a burst of floral wine at the same time.
At this time, Lu Qian turned her head slightly and kicked Guo Zheng.
The latter suddenly got up and pretended to scold: "Guo Feng, what kind of system are you, put on your clothes!" ”
The young man was not dashing, his clothes were ajar, revealing a large part of his chest.
