Chapter 112 Endless
"Bang!"
In anger, Zhu Chaoshi suddenly dropped the tea bowl in his hand on the ground, and a good porcelain suddenly turned into pieces.
"Lu Qiang's children bully people too much"
Lu Qiang's exchange terms have been sent back to Yangzhou as soon as possible. Ten thousand yuan of grain and grass is nothing for the rich Zhu family. Fifty thousand days of warships are a little difficult, but it is not impossible to get it. Only the war horse has no place to get it. In Jiangnan, it is something that can't be bought with money, even if it can I bought it outside, but I couldn't ship it to Jiangnan at all. No wonder Zhu Chaoshi was so angry.
He fell home this time, and he responded to the sentence "losing his wife and losing soldiers"
Turned his head and looked at Lu Wensong, who sat down and gave him advice. This guy originally turned to Liu Yi, but after knowing that Liu Yi had bought it from Lu Qiang, he turned to him.
Zhu Chaoshi now hates Lu Wensong. Although Lu Qiang's threat is not small, the two families have not reached this level of sword tension. Now, not to mention such a strong enemy, they have to pay a high ransom.
Although Zhu Zan is not Zhu Chaoshi's son, he is the leader of the next generation of the Zhu family and must be rescued. Besides, if he is not saved, the second brother in charge of the family's financial power will not agree!
If you enjoy yourself, is it difficult? Of course, you have to find someone to bear it together. At present, the negative test said, "Lord Lu, the Zhu family lacks financial resources, and we have to rely more on the support of the Lu family for this matter!"
Lu Wensong's cold sweat has long come down. The Lu family is very powerful in Guangling, but in front of the Zhu family, he only dares not even breathe.
After listening to Zhu Chaoshi's words, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes... The lower official will go back now. Even if he is bankrupt, he will definitely help the adult redeem the praise son."
Lu Wensong's statement also made Zhu Chaoshi look much better. After all, the two are in the same trench now, and they can't force him too much.
"What other good ideas do Brother Lu have for this child surnamed Lu?"
Lu Wensong's mouth is now full of bitter water. Lu Qiang is simply an immortal Xiaoqiang. He still can't kill him with all his tricks. In the long run, does his Lu family still have a way to live?
He was also good at talking. Zhu Chaoshi finished speaking and immediately said, "Everything should be done first to save Mr. Zan. After rescuing Mr. Zan, it is not too late for us to find an opportunity to destroy him."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded and said, "Zan'er must be saved, but if Lu Qiang's child is allowed to go wild, I'm afraid it will become a big trouble in the future!"
Lu Wensong wants to kiss Zhu Chaoshi, but old Zhu still has insight! Unlike Liu Yi's fool, he only looks in front of him.
In fact, he is not helpless, but he just came up with an idea to get a legitimate son of the Zhu family. If this idea doesn't work, won't the Zhu family lose anything more? So he finally became smart and didn't say what he thought.
But what kind of character is Zhu Chaoshi? The head of a family who has dominated Yangzhou for decades wished that his eyelashes were empty. After a few eyes, Lao Zhu guessed that Lu Wensong had reservations.
A face darkened and said, "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. If you can save Zan'er without ransom, the Zhu family will definitely say something to you."
"Don't dare, dare"
Lu Wensong hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then said, "Your Excellency, as far as the officials know, the road thief is going to the south, and whether it is Jiangzhou or Jingzhou, there is a long boundary connected to Guangzhou..."
Lu Wensong said that there was no need to go on, because he could see from Zhu Chaoshi's expression that Brother Zhu understood what he meant.
Guangzhou is now nominally restrained by Luqiang, but everyone knows that Lu Xun used to play there anyway. Although Lu Xun now accepts the appointment of the imperial court, the fool knows what the appointment is about.
What would be the result if you suddenly met Lu Xun when you were on the southern tour?
Thinking of this, Zhu Chaoshi laughed. He knew that Lu Xun would not be at ease. Even if Lu Xun wanted to rest, he still had a way to make Lu Xun restless.
Zhu Zan now has a job, that is, Lu Qiang's coachman. According to Lu Qiang, his team does not raise idle people, so this glorious task falls on Mr. Zhu.
Poor Mr. Zhu has been stretching out his hand and opening his mouth since he was a child? You can't do it! After he saw Lu Qiang's shocking and crying arrow, all his resistance thoughts disappeared. At first, he was not used to it for a few days, but he gradually got used to it.
Zhu Zan found that Lu Qiang was really different from the feudal officials he knew. Although the pressure on his body was heavy, he never put on airs. He treated soldiers and officers equally, and many times he would sit together to eat and chat with soldiers.
Lu Qiang's behaviors are simply incomprehensible in the eyes of Mr. Zhu.
At this time, the brigade has passed Jian'an County and has just stepped into Jin'an County. Jin'an County is close to the sea. Although the sea is still not visible, there is already a fishy sea breeze in the air.
At this time, Liu Sinu's second report has also been delivered. In this report, Lu Wensong's name was finally mentioned.
If only Zhu Chaoshi's family is against Lu, Lu Qiang may not think too much, but with Lu Wensong, he can't help thinking more.
Lu Qiang already knew that Lu Wensong was from the Lu family in Guangling. He must have a deep hatred for himself. Now that he can't do it, will he do it again? The answer is obvious, so what will this plan be?
Thinking of this, Lu Qiang's eyes couldn't help falling on Lu Xun, who was trapped in Guangzhou.
Lu Xun's rebellion is different from Huan Xuan's usurpation of the throne. He does nothing but destroys it. The land of Guangzhou has been harmed by him.
And Guangzhou is located in the south of the two states of Jing and Jiang, and borders these two states at the same time, just like a cancer growing under it. Lu Qiang doesn't want to remove him, but he can't take time and doesn't have so many troops now.
However, Lu Qiang was slightly gratified that Lu Xun was still honest, and his people had never stepped into Jingjiang. Although this is not due to the immeatical old way, I'm afraid that Lu Xun is also in the stage of rest and recuperation, so he has always been at peace with himself.
At that time, maritime transportation had emerged, but no one had set foot in the ocean, and no one could discover the huge benefits contained in it.
20 miles away from Jin'an County, the scout came to report, and the Jin'an County guard came to greet him with his officials.
Originally, Lu Qiang wanted to have a quiet interview, but after Zhu Zan's incident, he wanted it was impossible to secretly patrol the south, so he publicly launched the flag of the south patrol and asked the officials who passed through to report on the governance strategy under his administration.
So he has seen many officials along the way, but when Jin'an County Guard appeared in front of him, he was still stunned.
"Where did this come from! Are there any such poor officials under Jiangzhou?
Lu Qiang has read the resume of this county guard named Xiao Yuanchang and knows that he is a descendant of the Xiao family who followed the emperor Nandu Jiankang. Although the Xiao family has fallen, as the saying goes, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and he will not be so poor, right?
I only saw Xiao Yuan often wearing an official uniform full of patches and faded, but the official hat was quite new, as if he didn't wear it often. With this suit, it looked a little strange.
There are more than a dozen people behind him, almost all of whom are the same as him. The most unexpected thing is that these people are thin and don't seem to have enough to eat.
Xiao Yuanchang is not very old, about 40 years old, and his face is dark. At first glance, it is the result of exposure outside all year round.
"This guy didn't come to me to earn sympathy, did he?"
Xiao Yuanchang obviously saw Lu Qiang's doubts. First, he gave a deep salute, and then said with a wry smile, "Does your excell think that the subordinate is pretending? To be honest, the subordinate is really eager for you to remove the subordinate!"
Although Lu Qiang has not been in politics for a long time, he can still distinguish between true and false. He said indifferently, "Is it pretending? Just take a look and see. Take the lead! Take me to see your office"
In fact, it is not necessary for Xiao Yuan to say that there is not much time. Wang Kai, who went to inspect the environment first, has brought back the news of Jin'an County.
With Zhu Zan's lesson, the people around Lu Qiang no longer dare to be careless. Before they get to a place, they must do a good job of security.
"Your Excellency, I have asked the people in the city. Jin'an County is close to the sea, and the seafei often come to plunder. If Lord Xiao hadn't organized the people to resist, the city would have been empty. However, in this way, the city has also been harmed by the sea bandits, and the people often ate without a meal."
"Is there such a thing?"
Lu Qiang couldn't help but be shocked, and then countless doubts emerged in his heart. Why didn't Xiao Yuan often ask the court for help? And why didn't I hear any news about this before?
Wang Kai was ordered to call Xiao Yuanchang into the carriage and directly asked what was going on with the sea bandits? Why didn't he report to the court or the Assassin's Office?
Xiao Yuanchang was also rude and said directly, "Do you dare to ask, should the subordinate report to the court? Go to ask the assassin for help again?"
In a word, the road has run out of power, hasn't it? How long has it been since Huan Xuan's chaotic politics? I have just entered Jing and Jiang. I'm afraid that this letter for help has been sent long ago, but neither I nor my predecessor have time to take care of it at all.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiang held his fist and saluted Xiao Yuanchang and said, "Lord Xiao, please forgive me. It's my negligence. Don't worry, since I know this matter, I will definitely take care of it to the end. If I don't give an explanation to the people here, I will never leave."
Xiao Yuan often couldn't help but be stunned. He dared to speak against Lu Qiang, which was also risky. Unexpectedly, the young assassin not only did not blame him, but compensated himself.
I bowed back quickly: "I dare not. I have offended you just now. Please forgive me."
Lu Qiang waved his hand, let Xiao Yuan often sit down, and then said, "Where are the bandits from? But Lu Xun's men?"
Xiao Yuan often smiled bitterly and said, "Although it doesn't win, it's not far away"
