Chapter One Hundred and One: Sending the Letter

Out of the county seat, Fu Chou headed towards the nearest town, he needed a horse, and he really couldn't use a donkey or a mule. Although it is impossible for him to really help Cai Bo deliver the letter, it is impossible for him to turn back not long after leaving the county seat with his front foot.

When Lu Jun entered the city, he said that there was still his army on the shore of Zhenze.

All Fu Chou had to do now was to rush there, hand over the letter to Lu Jun's men, and ask his men to deliver the letter to Lu Jun's hands. As for why Fu Chou didn't send it over in person, it was because where Lu Jun was stationed in the west of the city, there was also Cai Bo's eyeliner among the patrolling soldiers, not to mention that it was too conspicuous to go there in broad daylight.

After asking several households, I finally found the groom, and after buying a horse, I went in the direction of Zhenze.

In fact, Fu Chou thought about whether to open it on the road to see the content of the letter, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, anyway, for himself, it was at most the content of the curiosity letter, and he believed that the value of this letter in the hands of Lu Jun was greater.

In half a day, Zhenze's shoreline has appeared in Fu Chou's field of vision, and the rows of neatly parked big boats on the shore look particularly spectacular.

When Fu Chou came to the boat docked on the shore, soldiers immediately came to drive him away.

When the two soldiers saw the scar on Fu Chou's face, they immediately became vigilant, thinking that this person was not a good person.

"This is not the place for you, get out of here!"

Fu Chou hurriedly dismounted and said, "Brother, please help me report to the authorities, I have something urgent to find you adults!" ”

Seeing that the other party's appearance was not like the kind of person who had nothing to do, the two glanced at each other, one ran towards the boat, and the other guarded Fu Chou.

Soon, Lu Hong, under the leadership of the soldiers, came to Fu Chou.

Seeing Lu Hong coming, Fu Chou wanted to come forward and talk to him. Because when Lu Jun went to the county seat of Yangxian County before, he took Lu Hong with him, so Fu Chou also knew him.

And Lu Hong also recognized Fu Chou's identity at a glance, mainly because the scar on Fu Chou's face was too iconic. But Lu Hong was very curious, this Cai Bo's housekeeper had something important to find, but it was clear that his own lieutenant was in the county seat, so why didn't he go directly to him, he had to come here to find someone.

Lu Hong looked at Fu Chou with an expression that no one should enter, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Of course, Fu Chou understood why Lu Hong had this attitude, but he didn't care, but instead looked at the two soldiers beside Lu Hong.

Sensing Fu Chou's gaze, Lu Hong motioned for the two soldiers to patrol elsewhere first, expecting that Cai Bo's housekeeper in front of him would not be able to do anything to endanger himself, not to mention that there were so many soldiers here.

After the two soldiers left, Fu Chou handed the letter that Cai Bo asked him to help deliver from his arms to Lu Hong.

Lu Hong didn't know why, and he didn't understand what this person meant.

"This is a letter written by Cai Bo to the Taishou of Danyang County."

Lu Hong didn't pick it up, raised his eyebrows and said, "You want me to help deliver the letter?" I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. ”

Fu Chou shook his head, "This is to be handed over to Lord Lu." ”

Hearing Fu Chou say this, Lu Hong's brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't understand what the situation was with this person, obviously Cai Bo's housekeeper, why did he betray Cai Bo.

"It's okay for you to tell you about my situation, but you don't necessarily believe it. I haven't read the contents of this letter, but I believe that Lord Lu will be useful, so please hand it over to Lord Lu, and Lord Lu will also tell you about my situation. ”

Without waiting for Lu Hong to react, Fu Chou directly put the letter in his hand.

"Farewell!"

After saying goodbye, Fu Chou turned over and rode towards the county seat.

Until Fu Chou left for a long time, Lu Hong was still a little confused, what is the situation, could it be that this Cai Bo's housekeeper is the eyeliner arranged by the adults beside him?

Looking at the letter in his hand, Lu Hong felt that the first task now was to deliver the letter to Lu Jun's hand.

Called a few commanders and asked them to be responsible for the daily training and patrol of soldiers, and then Lu Hong led a hundred people towards Yangxian County.

"Vice Admiral Lu, let's let Lord Du Lieutenant prepare some horses in the future." One of the people behind him spoke.

Lu Hong was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile.

It is true that some horses should be prepared, otherwise the transmission of information will be slow and the mobility will not be good.

Nodding, Lu Hong responded, "I'll tell Lord Duwei, hurry up and get to the county seat." After speaking, Lu Hong took the lead and quickened the pace.

When Fu Chou arrived at the county seat, it was just getting dark. When he was about to enter the city, the horse was let go by Fu Chou.

At this moment, the city gate is only half open, and there are still many people who go out of the city one after another, and people who enter the city in twos and threes.

When it was Fu Chou's turn to register, the soldier recognized him at a glance.

"Butler Fu?"

Some of the soldiers on both sides who were maintaining order also looked over.

Fu Chou motioned for the two to be quiet, his hand dug into the pocket of his sleeve robe, and then quietly stuffed it into the hands of the soldiers on the side.

He lowered his voice and said, "Some specialties at home are for a few brothers to taste." ”

Quietly weighing the things in his hand, it turned out to be a consistent copper coin, and the weight from his hand seemed to be quite a lot. The soldier immediately smiled and said, "Then thank you brother, let's go in quickly." ”

Arching his hand, Fu Chou raised his feet and buried his head in the city.

After Fu Chou left, the soldier who took the copper coin said disdainfully: "Usually dogs fight people, but now they actually know the sophistication of people." ”

The registered man touched him with his elbow and looked at the soldiers on either side.

The man immediately understood what he meant, and immediately shut up.

After Fu Chou entered the city, he went straight back to Cai's mansion and came to Cai Bo's face.

Seeing Fu Chou, Cai Bo's face showed anger, thinking that Fu Chou didn't take his own affairs seriously, how could it be possible to go from Yangxian County to Danyang County in one day.

"Choufu, you're back so soon?"

Fu Chou had already thought of the reason, and said respectfully: "Master, I have handed over the matter to the coachman who delivered the things in the past, and let him do it." ”

Cai Bo wanted to get angry after hearing this, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one around him, he really wanted to scold. Stared at Fu Chou, waiting for Fu Chou to explain why he did this.

"I was followed after I disguised myself out of the city, and I should have been someone from Lord Lu, so I went to a nearby town to find a coachman to help deliver the letter."

Only this reason can be justified and will make Cai Bo believe.

Hearing Fu Chou say this, Cai Bo was a little angry, but he didn't expect Lu Jun to send someone to monitor the city gate.

Is it afraid that you will pass the message out, or you are afraid that you will escape?

But will the coachman really deliver his letter to the hands of the Taishou of Danyang County? This is a letter that saves your life.

Originally, he wanted to write a letter to his father and ask him to help him, but the journey from Yangxian County to Jingshi was too far. I had to retreat to the next best, hoping that the Taishou of Danyang County could help me.

"Is it reliable?" Cai Bo asked about his worries.

"Master, don't worry, I promised him a heavy interest, and asked him to come back to the house to pick it up after sending the letter."

Hearing this, Cai Bo nodded with satisfaction, but when he thought that Fu Chou said that he had promised heavy profits, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. But when I think about it, it's up to me whether to give it or not.

looked at Fu Chou again with approval in his eyes, and patted Fu Chou's shoulder heavily.

"Well done! Let's go down and rest first. ”

Bowing down, Fu Chou retreated.

When Fu Chou left, Cai Bo's smiling face became calm, and he sat in the room drinking tea.

After about a cup of tea, a person came to Cai Bo and knelt down on one knee, "My lord." ”

"Say it."

"Earlier today, the Ugly Butler went out of the city in disguise and didn't return until the evening."

Hearing this man's words, Cai Bo nodded.

"What's going on there in the west of the city?"

"We can't get close there, the patrols are too strong."

Cai Bo sighed and waved his hand to signal that the person could leave.

"Lu Jun ......"

……

When he returned to his house and saw the four leaves on the ground, Fu Chou knew that he had received a response. Looking at the corner under the windowsill again, the mark had been erased.

Entering the room, he took out a cloth-wrapped thing from the beam, which was the ledger of Cai Bo's previous collection of grain taxes. Holding the account book, Fu Chou sat in front of the bed in a daze and waited for the fourth watch.

When a dark shadow flashed in front of the window, Fu Chou came back to his senses and knew that the person had arrived.

He opened the door and motioned for the other party to come in.

A figure flashed through the door, and the door shut.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Hearing this person's voice, Fu Chou was a little familiar, as if he was the person who took him to Lu Jun before.

No wonder the man wasn't surprised that he knew the code they were in.

"Please give these things to Lord Lu."

When the things in his hand were handed over, Fu Chou was a little relieved, and he also knew that his goal was about to be achieved.

After taking the things, the man didn't ink, nodded and left.

The sound of the door closing sounded softly, and Fu Chou also lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Soon, these ledgers were handed over to Lu Jun. Looking at the account book in his hand, the more Lu Jun looked at it, the more shocked he became, the grain tax levied by Cai Bo was nearly double that of the regulations.

"How dare he, Cai Bo!"

Just when Lu Jun was angry, Lu Hong led people to the camp tent.

"Your Excellency."

Lu Jun and Gu Ming were both stunned, they couldn't understand why Lu Hong came, looking at his appearance, they knew that he must have never stopped all the way, could it be that something happened?

"Why are you here?"

Lu Hong handed the letter that Fu Chou had given him before to Lu Jun from his arms.

After receiving the letter, Lu Jun asked suspiciously, "This is?" ”

"During the day, Cai Bo's housekeeper came to hand it over to me, saying that it was a distress letter written by Cai Bo to the Taishou of Danyang County, saying that it would be helpful to you, my lord."

When Lu Jun heard Lu Hong say this, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly opened the letter and read it.

Lu Hong looked at Gu Ming and asked him what was going on with Cai Bo's housekeeper.
