174 The first trace of the thief

What? Don't have money?

Lu Haoshan suddenly thought he had heard it wrong. Didn’t the eunuch love this yellow and white thing the most? Just now, 100 taels made his attitude change drastically. Why didn’t he become noble in a blink of an eye? This old man is confused by his head.

"I wonder what my father-in-law wants?" Lu Haoshan asked with a smile.

The red cannon and the tiger squat cannon are definitely needed, and they must be taken down at any cost. I can only pray that this old guy will not make too harsh demands.

Eunuch Chen said with some emotion: "I am not afraid of adults laughing at you. People like us who are not sound, can make people laugh wherever we go. We cannot return home, and we have no life. Even the ancestral hall cannot enter. The villain is already fifty-nine years old this year. After the Chinese New Year, we will beg for bones from His Majesty. However, after leaving, I don't know where to live this life. Feel the warmth of human relations. Sichuan is the country of Tianfu. I heard that although Jiangyou has a remote position, his beauty is excellent and his folk customs are simple, I want to help you introduce a place."

This old guy wants to feel the warmth of his family.

Some things are the more you can't get, the more you desire them. Lu Haoshan has heard of some eunuchs and palace maids. Because they can't stand loneliness, they become "husband and wife" with each other. On the one hand, they take care of each other, and on the other hand, they may also do some confusing activities to relieve their inner loneliness. It is not news that some eunuchs with power have married and take concubines outside the palace. Some even buy one of their sons, thinking that this will not be "breaking the back".

The Eunuch Chen in front of him was about to be unable to do it, and was ready to plan a way out for him.

Lu Haoshan thought for a moment and spoke slowly: "A big house with three entry, family, servants, and maids, 30 acres of paddy fields as a living guarantee, and the two county-level shops that make profits subsidize the family plan. Whether it is to find someone to manage it or collect rent, I wonder what Eunuch Chen wants?"

Fortunately, it is a chaotic world now, and the land is not valuable and it is convenient to buy it.

"Okay, the villain likes to do business with a sensible person like Lord Lu. Let's do this. The master of the three tiger squat cannons can be taken back now. As for when the purchase is completed, the villain will present the red cannon with both hands." Eunuch Chen said very simply.

The combined value of the three tiger squat cannons is not as good as this red cannon. Eunuch Chen is not afraid that Lu Haoshan will break his promise by taking something. Anyway, everyone is brought by Tongzhi, so I can just find him at that time. A small county magistrate. Where is the opponent of the second-rank Tongzhi?

"Okay!" Lu Haoshan said confidently: "Lu promises that my father-in-law will hear good news soon."

It’s not about going to the world or looking for rare antiques or treasures. If anyone can’t do this little thing, he will go home and take a shower and sleep, and he will still want to grab the country.

After the negotiations, the matter was much simpler. Eunuch Chen called the soldiers who came to visit the warehouse to load the packaged firearms, iron balls, and gunpowder into the carriage. In addition, the three-door tiger squatted tigers were also packed and put into the wooden box. He moved the carriage that had been prepared early in the morning. The gunpowder was originally a quota of 100 barrels. Eunuch Chen waved his hand and carried another thirty barrels.

In order to cover up, Lu Haoshan spent another 100 taels to buy fifty old and scrapped muskets. He said he had used it. In this way, the firearms, gunpowder, etc. were loaded with twenty carriages, and rushed to Jiangyou in a mighty manner, which was a guise of food and grass. However, Han Wendeng had already said hello, and no one dared to make things difficult on the road, so he was spared even if he checked and was transported back to Jiangyou.

As soon as the horse team returned to Jiangyou, they divided the troops into two groups. Lu Hao and Liu Jinzhu went straight back to the yamen, while Tang Qiang and others transported the firearms and other items back to the camp and assigned them to the soldiers for training. However, the fifty dilapidated muskets were left by Lu Haoshan and transported back to the yamen.

"Brother Shan, what are these muskets? You must keep them well even if you leave them for yourself." Liu Jinzhu was a little disdainful of those muskets. After returning to the county government, he complained unhappily.

If not, these muskets are treasures, but after seeing those good muskets and so many muskets, they left behind these muskets that were not good at seeing or useful. Just look at these junk goods, I felt awkward. Liu Jinzhu thought Lu Haoshan would leave dozens of muskets to guard the house and guard the hospital, so he couldn't help but say a little depressed.

Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "No, these are gifts for you."

"Meeting gift? What kind of meeting gift?" Liu Jinzhu said in surprise.

Lu Haoshan lowered his voice and said, "According to the news that Zhang Cunmeng has sneaked into Sichuan with a large number of close friends. There are probably two factors. One is that the New Year is approaching, and the garrison will be relatively relaxed. Second, the natural disaster in Shaanxi has been mobilized. The court mobilized heavy troops to kill them. Their life is not easy. Seeing that their subordinates are developing smoothly in Sichuan, they came to inspect in person, encourage their subordinates, or directly advance the process of the matter."

"You have successfully entered the interior and have been deeply trusted by the Hidden Dragon. It is very likely that Zhang Cunmeng will summon you. If you present these muskets at that time, you will definitely gain his trust. In this way, you will have the opportunity to go further."

Liu Jinzhu said in surprise: "Brother Shan, then you will not be stuck in Sichuan. Is this information reliable?"

"Reliable, it is a detailed message sent back. Zhu Yong said to me personally, saying that this was what Han Wendeng asked him to take, but you should pretend not to know about this matter, so as not to reveal your weakness." After a pause, Lu Haoshan continued: "Remember, try not to cause trouble in Jiangyou. If it is not a big deal in the future, report it less to avoid arousing their suspicion."

"Yes, Brother Shan, I understand."

While the two were discussing, a beautiful figure slowly walked over. Seeing the two of them whispering, they couldn't help laughing: "My husband, Jin Zhu, what are you talking about so mysterious?"

The man named Lu Haoshan’s husband, except Zhao Min, no one else. Lu Haoshan turned his head and saw Zhao walking over with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I just bought a batch of muskets. Let's discuss how to deal with it. Min'er, why are you out? Go back quickly, it's cold here."

"I heard from the yamen runners that you have returned, the food is ready, and I haven't seen anyone for a long time. It turns out that you have been here." Zhao Min said with some complaint: "You two, can't you talk while eating?"

Lu Haoshan gave Liu Jinzhu a wink, then laughed, and without caring about Liu Jinzhu, he took Zhao Minmin's warm little hand back, and said as he walked: "For my husband, I want to see what kind of good dishes my Min'er has prepared today."

"You'll know if you go and take a look."

Seeing Lu Haoshan walking back with Zhao Min and talking and laughing, Liu Jinzhu witnessed the two of them showing their love and thought with some envy: Brother Shan is such a blessing. If he marrys such a good woman as good as his sister-in-law, he would be satisfied if he could find a woman as good as his sister-in-law.

"Brother Jinzhu, why are you still stunned? Come and have dinner." Zhao Min walked away and found that Liu Jinzhu was still stunned. She couldn't help but urged: "The food is cold."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Not long after, the three of them were having a meal and joking. As a woman, although Lu Haoshan encouraged Zhao Min to be more active and not restrained, Zhao Min just couldn't let go. Many times she was a quiet listener, listening to Lu Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu discussing and discussing.

...........

As "listeners", some people are not based on equality, but on the level of status.

Just as Zhao Min was listening to Lu Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu talking, in a single-family house in Jiangyou County, he sat on the table in a suburb of Jiangyou County, looking at the men who were eating voraciously in the table: these people were the confidants of the unspoken people, and Zhang Cunmeng, the leader of the dragon who was not seen, was also among them.

No one expected that Zhang Cunmeng, who had been wandering in Shaanxi, would go through layers of blockades by the government army and come to Jiangyou County to eat and drink.

"Well, this tastes good. The guardian lives a good life here." A familiar person said with some emotion.

"That is, in Shaanxi, we often have a full meal and a hungry meal. After eating, we have to worry about the last meal. We have to be careful of the sudden attack of the government troops, and we will not be at ease even if we have a meal."

"It is said that Sichuan is the country of Tianfu, and it is indeed well-known."

"What are you talking about? If God hadn't been so proud of his food for so long, our Shaanxi would have a good mountain and water."

"Yes, I think so too."

Everyone felt as they ate, and of course, their mouths never stopped.

"Defendant Lu, thank you for your hard work, I will remember you for your merits." A middle-aged man sitting in the seat, smiled and said to the hidden dragon Lu Dingzhong next to him.

The one who speaks is Zhang Cunmeng.

Many people think that those leaders who dare to rebel all have fleshy faces and fierce faces, or like the legendary master Zhang Jiao of the Three Kingdoms, they can call the wind and rain and sprinkle beans into soldiers. In fact, many leaders of rebel are ordinary people who are ordinary and forced to go to the fore. Zhang Cunmeng is one of them. In the words of his own people, he will not only look terrible without being stuck in mud. On the contrary, he is a bit gentle and kind and elegant. In the words of ordinary people, he can tell that he is a scholar at a glance.

"Don't dare" Lu Dingzhong, nicknamed Hidden Dragon, dared not claim his merits, and quickly said, "These are all things that the young ones should do. They were also very coincidental to the tricks of the three leaders to settle down. By the way, I don't know if the big leader and the second leader are in good condition. Brothers are fine now."

This rebel army was led by Wusan. In fact, there are two characters named Duo-winged tiger and Zijin Dragon on Wusan. Wusan is only ranked third. However, he is smart and good at winning over his subordinates. He has many strategies in Yingfu's official army and has the greatest reputation among the rebel army.

This kind of temporary charity cannot stand the test of brothers. According to historical records, if they do not get stuck in mud, they cut off their eldest brother's winged tiger heads, and tied up their second brother's purple gold dragon to surrender to Hong Chengchou to save their lives. Of course, these are all later stories.

Buzhanji nodded and said, "Big brother and second brother are fine, that is, they led the team to transfer the soldiers of the official army. I can only pass the blockade line of the official army to Sichuan until then. However, my brothers are having a hard time. The court mobilized elite soldiers and generals to chase us. It is not easy to make the food and the team is not easy to lead. That's it. I'll come here to see how the progress is. In fact, you are doing a good job." (To be continued)
