Chapter 127: General Lu, there is no greater sorrow than death.(1/3)
Changsha County, Luohan Village.
At this time, winter is coming, and even the autumn cicadas become mournful.
The leaves turn yellow and the dead leaves are everywhere, accompanied by the "sound of sharpening the knife" in the Arhat Village, a desolate picture.
Lu Xun's fever has subsided a little bit today. He held the wall and staggered to the kitchen. Sun Ru was decorating medicine for him.
"Boyan? Why are you here?"
When Sun Ru saw Lu Xun, she hurriedly helped him sit down.
Lu Xun sighed and murmured softly: "I don't worry about you here!"
Sun Ru poured the medicine into the bowl, "Boyan is not worried about me, it is obvious that she is not worried about your son..."
According to Sun Ru, Lu Xun's son is naturally the eldest son of the third wife of the Lu family - Lu Yan.
As for the "son's side", it was at the "Guanshan Stone Cave" early this morning. Lu Yan went to count the weapons and traded money and goods.
"well…"
Lu Xun seemed to be depressed by his unscrupulous body.
——"Don't have a high fever in the morning, and don't have a high fever in the evening, but this is the time."
Sun Ru handed the medicine cup to Lu Xun, "Stop guessing, it's noon, and the news will be sent back soon."
Lu Xun looked at the slightly rippling black liquid in the bowl and said in surprise: "This medicine?"
Sun Ru whispered beside him: "Last night, I saw that your high heat was getting worse, so I added some roasted licorice and ginger."
Lu Xun sipped the medicine in a small sip, his brows frowned bitterly.
suddenly…
A servant from the Lu family ran in, "Master, Madam... It's not good. In the Guanshan cave, there is a dispute... it is a dispute!"
Lu Xun choked, quickly put down the bowl, suppressed the cough twice, wiped his sleeves casually, and asked uneasily.
"Why... why did you get into a dispute? Is it... it's with the Jiaozhou merchant?"
"It's a Jiaozhou native, but it's not that merchant." The servant answered truthfully: "It's... another group of Jiaozhou natives. They said that this batch of goods belongs to them, so the young master started arguing with them."
this…
Lu Xun became obviously nervous, his hands couldn't help but tremble. The high fever that had finally stabilized suddenly became stronger, and the temperature suddenly rose again, and his whole body was also a little shaky.
Sun Ru hurriedly supported Lu Xun, and she opened her mouth and said to the servant: "There is no dispute for no reason. What happened this morning? Tell me in detail!"
The servant swallowed and quickly answered truthfully.
It turned out that this morning... Jiaozhou Shangjia Shi Huolong told them that the armies had been complete and asked them to go and count them in advance. After more than an hour, the goods were clearly counted, and the goods were not bad at all.
So Lu Yan handed the gold to Shi Huolong, which was considered as paying the money and delivering the goods in one hand.
Shi Huolong was also very happy. After counting the amount of gold, he directly removed all the guards in Guanshan Cave.
In theory...
If money and goods are cleared, the transaction will be concluded.
Lu Yan ordered the Lu family to move the ordnance to the ship and still transport it back to Dongwu by water.
But... I never thought that when they moved these batches of weapons, there were still people moving them.
After the Lu family discovered it, they asked those who were carrying the ordnance, and both sides insisted that the goods belonged to them.
Because they all rely on the people behind them, their tone was not good, and only three or two sentences... The two sides argued, and even showed signs of taking action.
Lu Yan naturally went to argue too.
The servant came back to report when he saw that the situation was wrong.
At this moment, this process was reported, and Lu Xun felt the swelling and pain in his head...
Even Sun Ru couldn't calm down.
Sun Ru asked anxiously: "Why do they say that the ordnance belongs to them?"
"I don't know if I don't know..." The servant frowned, "From their accent, they could tell that they were from Jiaozhou, the wilderness of Jiaozhou. These Jiaozhou people were extremely reckless. It seemed that they also heard that we were from Jiangdong, and their tone of speaking was even more rude..."
Just then...
"Class leader, patriarch..." Another servant rushed over. "No, no, fighting in the Guanshan stone cave started, fighting... The two sides in the Guanshan stone cave started fighting!"
When Lu Xun blurted out his words, he felt countless cold sweat pouring down his forehead. However, because of the cold sweat, some of his high heat was dissipated.
"Ahem..."
He couldn't help but coughed, but reached out and ordered, "Take me there...Take me there!"
Fighting because of a batch of weapons...
This is no longer a trivial matter.
There are two possibilities, one is that this merchant is at work.
After they got the money, they still ambushed people here to find fault. The purpose is... perhaps to make another profit, or they have no intention of selling this batch of weapons to the Lu family.
The second type is that the location of this batch of weapons has been exposed. If... if you consider that the other party is from Jiaozhou.
That…
Could it be that the sage changed? He also covets these arms?
It was also difficult for Lu Xun to think of two possibilities under such a weak body.
No matter which one it is, Lu Xun felt that... his son Lu Yandu might not be able to handle it properly.
"Take...hehe...take me..."
Lu Xun said to Sun Ru, the tone of the heavier this time.
"Boyan..." Sun Ru gritted her teeth, "But your body..."
"If these weapons are gone, then... then... cough cough... cough cough cough... then what's the use of me?" Lu Xun's eyebrows tightened, and his tone became more urgent.
Just then...
"Class leader, it's not good." Another servant rushed over, "Those Jiaozhou people were killed... There were crossbows everywhere in the stone cave, and the two sides shot at each other. The young master... he was hit by the crossbow arrow! The people from our Lu family... are fighting with those people in Jiaozhou!"
ah…
Crossbow arrow? Shooting?
Has it reached this level?
Lu Xun only felt a "kick" sound in his heart.
At such a close distance, so many crossbows, they need to shoot against each other... Then... how can there be life?
"Yan'er, Yan'er..." Lu Xun tried hard to support himself and walked out the door, but he only took two steps. With a "bang", he fell heavily to the ground.
"Boyan, Boyan..." Sun Ru hurriedly helped her up.
Lu Xun made a low voice, "Yan'er...Yan'er!"
——"Take me there, take me there... hurry... cough cough... take me there!"
…
…
Jiangling City, noon.
A notice from the prefect's mansion was posted in the city.
The people came to the notice in groups of three or three, and read the words aloud in a literate way.
——"The Cao bandits disobeyed, the heavens were angry, and the emperor brought righteous troops to attack the Cao bandits, recovered Nanjun, and vowed that the Han bandits were incompatible!"
——"However, when the Cao bandits fled into Xiangfan, they deployed dozens of Wei spies in Nanjun, and for several years, bribed officials, bribed key points, and conveyed information. This is indeed a constraint on the great cause of the development of Han in Nanjun!"
——"However, there is a thief Cao's official, the fourth son of the Guan family, Lin, who has a keen eye to recognize the thief, arrested dozens of Wei spies within one day, and attacked more than a hundred treacherous and slandered people who surrendered to Wei. Now they confessed all of them, and their letters, stolen goods, and carved plates are all used to check the goods. The evidence is conclusive, and they are specially displayed here to warn others!"
A series of "evidences" are also placed next to the announcement...
These were all handed over by Wei Ji, led by "Wang Qi", which was enough to prove his identity as Wei Ji, and also gathered some of their previous actions into a picture album and posted next to the notice.
All the onlookers couldn't help but "shocking..."
Looking at the boxes of stolen goods, the people whispered and whispered.
"I said with my own eyes that the night before yesterday, I dug out 100,000 gold in a house next to my house... I heard that it was buried by Wei Spies in the soil and used to bribe officials in the Nanjun."
"If it were as you said, then... if Mr. Guan Si had not found out these Wei spies and these bribed officials, wouldn't it be... Nanjun's every move was exposed to the eyes of the Cao thief?"
"Isn't it? Otherwise, why did Guan Gong return in vain after repeated northern expeditions? These Wei spies have taken many behind their backs!"
"At the same time, what method did Mr. Guan Si use to arrest these Wei spies? Logically speaking, since they are Wei spies, they should have received strict training and should be hiding them very strictly."
"Yeah, you don't know. I heard that there was a Wei spy named 'Wu Liu' who reported to Mr. Guan Si, and then he caught all the Wei spies in one go. Prefect Mi also specially praised Wu Liu! He gave him the Changxin Restaurant!"
"Then aren't this 'Wu Liu' afraid that the family in the North will be harmed by Cao Cao?"
To be continued...
