Chapter 56: Operation Falling Rain
Guan Xun and Wu Shu stood up, not paying attention at all, and still stood there respectfully.
Wu Shu bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Little master, I will never forget what happened last time... Thank you again!"
Guan Xunze clasped his fists at Duan Hong, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said with a stiff smile: "Duan Shaoxia, what happened last time was a misunderstanding. I was very eager to protect my master at the time. I didn't know that you and my little master have such a close relationship. Okay, I would like to express my deepest apologies to you. You, sir, have a lot, so please don’t take it personally!”
Duan Hong stopped, clasped his fists and returned the salute: "As the saying goes, a gentleman's heart is public and forgiving, but a villain's heart is private. Since the commander-in-chief has said so, the matter has been cleared up. Duan's grudges are clear and he does not miss the past. Evil, it’s a trivial matter!”
Although both parties spoke politely, they did not make any eye contact with each other, and the atmosphere seemed very strange.
When Liu Tuo saw this, he was afraid that something would happen again, so he quickly smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Well said! Although I don't know what you two are talking about, but Commander Guan is magnanimous and Duan Shaoxia is so majestic, I admire you two! In the future, you will definitely have great ambitions, and your future is limitless, so you should be aware of this! Come here, prepare some food and drinks quickly, I will serve as a host, let’s all have a good drink!”
Gopher General Guan Xun clasped his fist at Liu Tuo, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Liu for being appointed as the Lord of Yuehu City. We should have a drink to celebrate. I don't know when I will take office? Now I should change my name to Lord Liu, haha. !”
Liu Tuo's face darkened, and he pretended to be displeased and said: "Commander Guan, please stop making fun of me! I originally thought that General Manager Guo would fight for me to find a rich place, and at the worst it was a place close to the imperial city, but I didn't When I think about it, it turned out to be a poor and jingling city, far away in the northwest border. That place is covered with yellow sand all year round and sparsely populated. It can be said that mice don’t make nests and birds don’t stay overnight. I don’t mind being the city lord!”
Guan Xun smiled strangely and said: "City Lord Liu is wrong! Although Yuehu City is located on the edge of the northwest desert, it is the only place for trade between the entire continent and the Shayi people on the other side of the desert. A large amount of soil from the Shayi people Specialty products, as well as various exquisite goods from the mainland are circulated among each other, all of which must be stored in Yuehu City. It was originally just a small inn. After several generations of operation, it has reached its current scale. I would like to serve you for nine thousand years. I won the position of City Lord of Yuehu City because you want to use your business talents to create wealth, right?"
"yes!"
After listening to what Guan Xun said, Liu Tuo woke up from a dream, slapped his forehead suddenly, and suddenly realized: "What a word that woke me up from my dream! Commander Guan is indeed a general of the Gopher Sect. He knows the folk customs of various places very well, and he will continue to do so in the future." I hope you can provide me with more information. As the city lord, it is very convenient for me to pursue business opportunities. Of course, your share of the profits earned will be indispensable. I will do what I say and will never break my promise!"
Wu Shu, the leader of the Flying Eagle Sect, said: "City Lord Liu, you are about to take over the business and make money, can we put it aside for a while? The most important thing right now is to discuss how to catch all the robbers in one fell swoop and catch them off guard!"
The smile on Liu Tuo's face disappeared and he nodded: "What Commander Wu said is right. We have cooperated for so many years and it has always been smooth. Even when we eradicated the Yin Yang Demon Sect's forces in the three southwest states, we cooperated very well. There is a tacit understanding, what else are you worried about? Commander Wu, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, we are all our own people here, there is no need to avoid suspicion!"
Wu Shu nodded and said: "Then it is up to Commander Guan to explain the specific plan for this operation in detail. They have already arranged it. It can be said that they are confident and everything is foolproof!"
This tall hat was indeed very comfortable to wear. With a proud look on his face, Guan Xun coughed twice and walked to the table obligingly. He took out a map from his pocket and spread it flat on the table.
When everyone took a look, it turned out to be a map of Leiyue City. It was drawn in great detail, and several places were circled with cinnabar.
The most shocking thing is the four large characters written in cinnabar on the upper right side of the map: "Shen Tu Hua Yu"!
"It turns out it's him!" Liu Tuo couldn't help but gasped and frowned.
Shentu Huayu was a high-ranking official in the border area. He had a large number of troops and governed eight states, all of which were wealthy lands. He could be said to have strong soldiers and horses, and wealth that rivaled his country. He was the strongest among all the princes and kings in the entire Lingyue Dynasty. He was behind the robbery of gold.
The leader turned out to be him, so the difficulty of this operation can be imagined, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Guan Xun also frowned and said, "It's Shentu Huayu's fault! This man is ruthless and ruthless in his actions. True to his name, he is as pervasive as a heavy downpour without leaving any trace!"
This time it was Wu Shu's turn to be proud. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he said: "I personally took action and interrogated one hundred and thirty-eight suspected eunuchs and imperial guards. Everyone shed at least a layer of skin. Only then did they learn from them."
Information coming out of your mouth!”
The smile faded and he said seriously: "A eunuch has confessed Shentu Huayu's deputy manager Shentu Zhen. From this point of view, there is no doubt that the mastermind behind the scenes is Shentu Huayu. However, Shentu Zhen has resigned and left Leiyue City.
Yes, it happens to be the date when Jiu Qiansui and City Lord Liu discussed opening the Guxiangzhai to sell antiques and treasures. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? It can be seen that they have planned it in advance, and they have also colluded with the masters of the underworld. They will do it.
When committing a robbery, even if the incident occurs, you can still push it forward three times, two times five, and you can't say it is not meticulous!"
Guan Xun had a solemn look on his face and said angrily: "This Shentu Huayu is indeed as cunning as a ghost. Even our Gopher Sect has been having headaches. For so many years, we have known that he was doing all kinds of things, but we just can't find anything to do with him."
, it is extremely hateful to let Jiu Qiansui suffer in front of the emperor without any evidence and unable to bring him down!"
Wu Shu added: "This Shentu Huayu is very insidious, and he takes both black and white. He has worked hard for many years and cultivated a large number of dead soldiers to work for him, but he himself is hiding behind the scenes and operating, never making it public.
He is really a treacherous, sinister and cunning person. We finally caught him this time, so we must uproot him!"
Guan Xun coughed twice, glanced at everyone with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Listen up, everyone, this operation is codenamed 'Luoyu' and is divided into three parts. One, 'Huayu Villa'
It is located on the east side of the Shangqing Palace in the north of the city, where Shentu Huayu lived, and the robbed golden carriage should be there;
Secondly, the 'Martial Arts Hall' is about ten miles away from Huayu Villa. It is his base camp for cultivating dead soldiers. There are about 3,000 people. It is presided over by his son, the mighty General Shen Tubao, who must destroy them all;
The third one is the middle minister Shen Tuzhao. This person originally had no relationship with Shentu Huayu, but because of the same surname, he insisted on becoming his godfather. The age difference between the two is only three years. It is really shameless. Over the years,
He made no mistake about any trivial events in the palace, and reported them all to Shentu Huayu. He was an informant of Shentu Huayu in the palace, and he will also get rid of him this time!"
As he spoke, Guan Xun picked up a cup of tea on the table, drank it in one gulp, wiped his lips with his sleeve, and then said: "In addition, this Shen Tuzhao has a son named Shen Tu Xiongfeng, who is worshiped by General Huben.
He has great martial arts skills, many friends in the world, a good reputation, and a reputation as a chivalrous person. He has always been dissatisfied with Shen Tu Huayu's various deceitful methods, so he also looks down on his cousin, Shen Tu Bao, sooner or later.
It's time to break up. Jiu Qian Sui has already agreed. When the time comes, he will expose Shen Tu Hua Yu's crimes in front of the emperor. As long as our operation goes smoothly and we can find the stolen gold, Jiu Qian Sui can
