"Are you threatening me?!"
Liang Guangcan looked at the stone lion that had turned into powder, and his pupils shrank slightly.
With such profound skills, I am afraid that I am not far away from the great master.
Shangguan Rou looked indifferent: "How dare our family threaten Governor Liang? We are just giving Governor Liang a choice."
"Should we cooperate with our Dongchang, or be enemies of our Dongchang!"
Liang Guangcan frowned slightly when facing such a powerful Shangguan Rou:
"Why, if I refuse, will my father-in-law kill me too just like he killed this stone lion?!"
When all the soldiers heard this, they immediately raised their swords and looked at Shangguan Rou warily.
These government soldiers usually receive favors from Liang Guangcan, and they are already somewhat like Liang Guangcan's private soldiers.
His loyalty to Liang Guangcan was even greater than that of the imperial court.
Shangguan Rou looked at Liang Guangcan and suddenly smiled: "What are you talking about, Governor Liang? Although our family has the right to kill first and report later, naturally we will not use it on Governor Liang."
While talking.
He took out a secret letter from his arms and threw it to Liang Guangcan: "Although our family does not have an edict, we do have a letter from Duke Wei. Governor Liang can open it and read it before deciding whether to cooperate with our Dongchang. .”
Liang Guangcan took the secret letter, opened it and read it for a while, his expression suddenly became cloudy and uncertain.
After a while.
Only then did he exhale, and said in a low voice: "Get out of the way, father-in-law, please come in."
Swish, swish, swish.
When the surrounding soldiers heard Liang Guangcan's instructions, they moved out of the way without any hesitation.
'That's it? Boss Wei is too proud, right? Liang Guangcan compromised with just a letter without anyone coming? Li Xuan watched from the side, his eyes flashing slightly.
He knew that although Wei Jingzhong did not show up, he was probably already in Taihu Province.
If the destiny map had not been revealed, Wei Jingzhong probably would not have shown up.
"Our family likes people like Governor Liang who understand promotion."
Shangguan Rou chuckled and walked into the Governor's Mansion.
Li Xuan and other Dongchang factory guards naturally followed closely behind and walked in.
Li Xuan understood why Shangguan Rou didn't take out Wei Jingzhong's letter from the beginning.
Doing this is most likely to establish your authority!
If Dongchang wants to gain enough benefits from this bandit suppression, it naturally needs to take the initiative!
Without being forceful, even if Liang Guangcan really compromised, he would probably only get Dongchang to take action.
When the time comes, after the Black Wind Village is annihilated and the spoils are divided, it will be difficult for Dongchang to grab the bulk!
after all.
In such a big Heifeng Village, no one has storage bags. How much can be packed in sacks alone? !
In the end, what is left needs to be counted one by one and distributed according to work.
Governor's Palace.
Inside the spacious hall.
Liang Guangcan sat directly above, and He Wenshun and a group of officials and generals from Guangning Prefecture sat on the left.
Shangguan Rou and other deacons were sitting on the right side.
For non-staff members like Li Xuan of the East Factory and a group of factory workers, the booths are too small, so they can only stand.
"At the age of eighteen, I stood like a minion..." Li Xuan suddenly thought of a song from his previous life.
No wonder so many people are greedy for power and even use any means to climb up.
The benefits brought by rights are reflected in all aspects.
An impromptu bandit suppression meeting, everyone was divided into three levels.
Just when Li Xuan was thinking wildly.
Shangguan Rou spoke: "Governor Liang, when do you plan to send troops to suppress the bandits?"
He didn't beat around the bush like people in officialdom, he got straight to the point.
He Wenshun and other officials from Guangning Mansion all looked at Liang Guangcan after hearing this.
Nowadays, Liang Guangcan almost monopolizes the military power. Whether to send troops or not depends only on his words.
Liang Guangcan ignored the gazes of the others and sighed: "Mr. Shangguan, it's not that I don't want to suppress the bandits, it's just that the situation in Taihu Province is too complicated. One careless move can affect the whole body. Therefore, before suppressing the bandits, Things must be done carefully and carefully.”
Shangguan Roufeng's eyes flashed, and she chuckled: "Governor Liang, why don't you tell me what kind of trouble is happening in Taihu Province right now, which makes a frontier official like you helpless. Although our family is of low ability, we are willing to work for Governor Liang." Relieve worries.”
Liang Guangcan said: "There was a famine in Taihu Province this year. Many people died. Some people were forced to leave their homes and became refugees. I think I have seen a lot of this on my way to Shangguan."
"That's true." Shangguan Rou nodded.
However, he didn't care too much about these refugees.
In all the years since the founding of Daqian, there has never been a famine. As long as there is no major turmoil involving one or even several provinces, there will be no problem.
Liang Guangcan sighed: "The crux of the problem lies here. The relief food from above has not arrived, which has led to a reputation of sadness. The refugees in Taihu Province have been faintly reduced to a low level with the instigation and help of the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Blood Lotus Sect." Since they have turned into rebels, most of my forces now have to be put into suppressing these rebels."
"Not only that, there is not only one gang in Heifengzhai in Taihu Province, but also several small and medium-sized bandit forces. Taking advantage of the current mixed situation in Taihu Province to rob villages, part of my troops must also guard against these gangs."
"In addition, each city must be guarded by troops to prevent other conflicts."
After briefly talking about the current situation in Taihu Province.
Liang Guangcan continued: "Heifeng Village is located in Heifeng Mountain. Its terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It also has a large defensive formation. If you want to capture Heifeng Village, you need to mobilize at least 10,000 elite troops. If I combine the troops from other places If the rebels take advantage of the situation and attack the city, then the entire Taihu Province, and even several surrounding provinces, will be in danger."
"If you stop with silence, you won't go wrong if you don't do it. Our family understands Governor Liang." Shangguan Rou muttered, "However, at present, Qin Kun, the leader of the thief in Black Wind Village, has been executed. The Black Wind Village is leaderless and the people are scattered. In addition, People from all over the world have gathered in Guangning Mansion with great momentum. If we don’t suppress them now, it will be difficult to suppress them again when Black Wind Village recovers."
He Wenshun took over Shangguan Rou's words and said: "What Mr. Shangguan said is true. Now heroes and knights from all over the country are gathered here to discuss the plan to suppress the bandits. With their strength, and with some of our Taihu Province troops, we may be able to achieve success." Governor Liang must stop being messed with."
Liang Guangcan snorted coldly: "These people are here to fish in troubled waters. Without them, Taihu Province would not be as chaotic as it is now. They have been here for more than a month, but have they ever been seen attacking Heifeng Village? Not yet. Waiting for us to take action, they can reap the benefits."
"So I said that we, Guangning Mansion, should take the lead and wave our arms, and these people in the world will naturally respond. Governor Liang, you are so indecisive, don't be able to do both things well when the time comes." He Wenshun said sarcastically.
Liang Guangcan slapped the table: "He Wenshun, you are not clear about the situation in Taihu Province now. What are your intentions for making such sarcastic remarks? When the rebels rise, can you bear this responsibility?!"
"Liang Guangcan, don't keep making excuses for the rebels. These are just a mob. How many troops are needed to suppress them? Are you clearly not working hard, or are you saying that you have already colluded with Heifeng Village and don't want to suppress the bandits at all?!" He Wenshun also said the same thing. Asked back.
"What did you say?!" Liang Guangcan's muscles suddenly bulged, and he glared at He Wenshun.
Seeing that the bandit suppression meeting was about to turn into a scolding war.
Shangguan Rou couldn't help but waved his hand: "Okay, our family is not here to listen to your quarrels. Governor Liang, please give us an accurate answer as to how many troops we can send to suppress the bandits now."
Liang Guangcan glared at He Wenshun, stopped arguing, tapped his knuckles on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"The situation is complicated now. I can give my father-in-law at most two thousand troops."
Shangguan Rou shook his head: "Although many people have dispersed in Heifeng Village during this period, there should still be about 8,000 bandits and 2,000 soldiers and horses in the mountain. It is too few. I want at least 5,000!"
Liang Guangcan's eyes widened and he refused directly: "Impossible, two thousand is already the limit. If there is more, Taihu Province will be in chaos by the rebels. The consequences will be much more serious than not being able to wipe out Black Wind Village."
Shangguan Rou said calmly: "Governor Liang, our family has a way to have both ends of the world. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Father-in-law, please tell me."
"Our family will take a few of our factory guards to the rebel camp and behead the leader of the rebel army. By then, the rebel army will be leaderless and will definitely be in chaos for a while. There will be no trouble in a short time. Governor Liang At that time, we will take advantage of the chaos of the rebel army, mobilize troops and horses, turn around and clear out Heifeng Stronghold, and then use the money stolen from Heifeng Stronghold to appease the refugee rebels, and the rebel army will naturally collapse without attacking."
Liang Guangcan's eyes lit up: "If Mr. Shangguan can really kill the leader of the rebel army, it is not impossible for me to mobilize five thousand soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits."
This Shangguan Rou is a warrior at the master level. It is not a joke to take the enemy general's head from the crowd of thousands of troops.
He can also take advantage of this period to persuade the major families in Taihu Province to contribute money and efforts to reorganize their troops and kill two birds with one stone.
"Within five days, our family hopes to see five thousand soldiers and horses appear in Guangning Mansion." Shangguan Rou stood up.
Liang Guangcan stood up and said, "Then I will be waiting for the good news from my father-in-law. I will send people to my father-in-law's room later for the relevant information about the rebels."
Shangguan Rou negotiated the matter as soon as he saw it.
He Wenshun smiled, stretched out his hand and said:
"Father-in-law, please come this way. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome the father-in-law and all the factory guards."
He is in charge of civil affairs, and naturally does everything in terms of hospitality.
"Thank you." Shangguanrou nodded slightly.
soon.
Li Xuan and others followed He Wenshun to a large house, where there were seven or eight tables filled with wine and food.
Along the way, everyone did not have a good rest, eat or drink in order to rush for time.
Naturally, it’s time to feast!
After having enough wine and food.
Li Xuan and others were arranged to live in the house by He Wenshun.
Except for Shangguan Rou and a few stewards, everyone else shared a room with two people.
Li Xuan was only acquainted with Zhao Hao, so they naturally lived in the same room.
"It's not easy to just suppress a bandit, but it's so troublesome." Zhao Hao stretched out.
He was not arranged by Shangguan Rou to go with him to capture the leader of the rebel army.
It is estimated that Shangguan Rou can only bring a few deacons from the late Xiantian realm with him.
Too many people are a burden.
Li Xuan said: "Fortunately, Mr. Shangguan is in front of us, otherwise our trip would have been in vain."
Only a master-level master like Shangguan Rou had the confidence to say something like capturing the leader of the thief.
After all, a master-level expert can be said to be the enemy of a thousand people.
Wear the magic armor and put it on the battlefield, and you will be the god of war who can cut melons and vegetables with unparalleled power!
Moreover, when Shangguan Rou said these words in public, he probably had another intention, that is, he wanted to see if there was a traitor in Guangning Mansion.
Li Xuan has discovered that some factory guards have been secretly dispatched, most likely to keep tabs on them.
Shangguan Rou will probably find out who is secretly tipping him off.
When the time comes, it will be time to catch them all!
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Zhao Hao chuckled: "Of course, with the deputy factory governor here, this bandit suppression will be a great success!"
Brother, don't raise the flag, I'm afraid... Li Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Listening to what Governor Liang said today, the situation in Taihu Province is complicated. I hope there won't be any trouble."
"If there's any trouble, it's at most because of those Jianghu people and various factions who want to fish in troubled waters. When the time comes, you will follow me and I will ensure that you make a lot of money." Zhao Hao patted his chest.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "That's natural. I will definitely follow Eunuch Zhao's footsteps when the time comes."
"Let's put aside the matter of suppressing bandits for now." Zhao Hao rubbed his chin, "I heard that Guangning Mansion is the hometown of folk music. Is Eunuch Li interested in finding a brothel to listen to some songs and relax?"
Li Xuan was slightly startled when he heard this.
You are useless, just listening to music on the hook, don't you feel bored? !
Could it be that you really just want to simply appreciate art?
However, then I thought about it.
I can take the opportunity to go to Chunfeng Tower and look for Shiyu.
Ask her about the rescue of Empress Duanmu and the current situation in Taihu Province.
What Liang Guangcan said just now was that the situation in Taihu Province was more complicated than he imagined.
It is still necessary to understand some specific situations and insider information in advance, so as not to become cannon fodder for no reason when suppressing bandits.
In addition, you can also take advantage of the opportunity before the army gathers to see if Shi Yu can help you build a magic weapon.
He has the Jinchensha to refine magic weapons, but unfortunately he doesn’t have the means to refine them.
There is no way to find anyone to refine it in the palace, so we can only wait and see if Shiyu can do anything.
Think about this.
Li Xuan smiled like a fellow man: "It turns out that Eunuch Zhao is also so elegant. Before I came to Guangning Mansion, I heard that Chunfeng House was very good. It was the number one brothel in the local area. It was a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to go there. , now it’s time to make up for this regret.”
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go. After four days of running around, it's time to relax." Zhao Hao laughed.
Li Xuan asked: "If Eunuch Shangguan knows that we go to a place like this, he won't blame us, right?"
"Don't worry, as long as it doesn't delay business, the deputy factory supervisor won't care about such trivial matters." Zhao Hao waved his hand.
Li Xuan didn't say anything else. He took the brocade flower hidden in his sleeve and followed Zhao Hao to Chunfeng Tower.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two of them rode horses and arrived at Chunfeng Downstairs.
It's late at night, when Chunfeng Tower is the busiest.
Red lanterns were hung high outside, and the lights were brightly lit inside.
Standing at the door, you can vaguely smell the tangy powder smell coming from inside.
"Gentlemen, please come inside."
When the young man saw the horses of Li Xuan and Li Xuan, he knew that they were of extraordinary status, so he showed great respect.
"Create a private room for us. Also, my horse only eats meat, not grass. Remember to feed it more." Zhao Hao is familiar with it, and he obviously goes to this kind of place often.
"okay!"
The boy asked the stable boy to take Li Xuan's Huoyun horse to the stable. After giving instructions, he led the two of them into Chunfeng Tower.
It was extremely lively inside, with a pool in the center of the hall and a pink round platform above the pool.
Women dressed gracefully and enchantingly were dancing on it.
People coming and going here are all gorgeously dressed young men, as well as knights carrying swords or long knives.
Almost every seat was filled with people, and the noise was endless, which made people a little upset.
Not long after.
The boy led Li Xuan and the two of them to a private room on the second floor.
The sound insulation effect here is good, the environment is quiet, and it is finally quieter.
Zhao Hao waved his hand: "Go and serve two jugs of good wine and some side dishes, and then call your Chunfeng Tower's best performers to come over and play some ditties for us."
However, he just finished speaking.
Bang!
The window was violently knocked open at this moment.
A figure, like a rag sandbag, fell in front of the two of them!
There is one piece of information missing from the previous article, that is, when the protagonist left the palace, he took the brocade flowers with him. I thought I had written it, but when I went back and read it, I didn’t write it. It was embarrassing~ But it was just a paragraph, so it’s already Made up for it ~Finally please vote
