"Brother Yao, what are you doing here!?"
"The war here is chaotic and it is very dangerous. Why don't you come with me to the inn, where it is protected by the Longwu Army led by Lin, so it is relatively safer."
As Shen Laosan said this, he picked up Yao Rui, who was in a daze, and walked quickly towards the inn where they lived before.
At this time, outside the inn, a Longwu army was guarding the door of the inn.
At that time, all the businessmen who came to Luozhou with Lin Luo were stationed here.
Seeing Shen Laosan and Yao Rui coming over, the leading captain looked cold and reprimanded:
"Do you two still have a sense of time?"
"You know clearly that our commander is going to announce something, but you still dare to delay!"
"How many people have died during the lockdown? Open your eyes and see! If you don't want to become a corpse and stay here, get back to the inn immediately!"
Yao Rui frowned slightly, but Shen Laosan pulled him, nodding and bending, making a full-on dog-licking gesture.
"Master Jun, please don't get angry. We just found a place to release the water."
"Don't worry, from now on we will both obey orders and listen to instructions. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west."
After saying that, he handed over another bulging cloth bag.
The captain took it swaggeringly, his face finally looking a little better.
"Okay, you can join the team. I won't do it again."
After saying that, he immediately stuffed the cloth bag into his pocket.
After glancing around at the businessmen present, he said calmly:
"You have all seen the situation in Luozhou now."
"If you want to survive, you must know how to obey the orders of our commander from now on."
"The commander-in-chief said that most of the relief food was stolen by bandits. The only relief food left now is not enough to distribute to the victims of Luozhou."
"So, you businessmen, shouldn't you do your part?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the businessmen present changed.
One of the tall and lanky businessmen hesitated for a moment and said:
"This military master, our family does not speak the same language. The reason why we came to Luozhou is because of the order of the Chief Assistant."
"The promise given to us by the Chief Assistant did not seem to mention this condition."
"Moreover, I happened to be at the scene when the relief grains were distributed that day. When the rebels came in, I saw with my own eyes that Commander Lin had collected the relief grains..."
Before the tall and thin businessman finished speaking, he saw the captain's face darken, and when he raised the knife in his hand, the businessman's head moved directly.
In the blink of an eye, his head fell to the ground. Only then did he spit out the word "hui".
Such a bloody scene instantly changed the expressions of the merchants present.
They were all old partners who had worked with Lin Chunqiu for many years, but they didn't expect that Lin Luo would be so bold.
They would violently kill people at the slightest disagreement, and this operation was clearly a deliberate attempt to trick them!
For a moment, the businessmen were excited, but no one dared to come forward.
Everyone is not a fool. They have knives in their hands, and at this moment they are in Luozhou, thousands of miles away.
Head-on confrontation is not in the interests of businessmen.
Thinking of this, the businessmen all fell silent.
Shen Laosan clenched his teeth, his plump cheeks were filled with uncertainty, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
Seeing that these businessmen were silent, the captain suddenly lost his patience.
He bent down and lifted the bleeding head, shaking it in front of the businessmen.
"I'm counting dozens. If anyone doesn't speak, this will be his fate!"
"ten……"
"Nine……"
…
"three……"
Finally, a businessman couldn't hold it any longer and shouted with trembling body:
"I am willing to donate 10,000 stones of food and grass to help the victims of the Luozhou disaster!"
"I have twenty thousand stones!"
"I have five thousand..."
…
Close the southwest of the city,
deep in the mountains,
There is an extremely magnificent and magnificent courtyard.
Every brick and tile here exudes a sense of nobility.
Outside the courtyard, two teams of heavily armed soldiers were patrolling back and forth meticulously.
In the valley fifty feet away from the courtyard, a large number of corpses of victims had piled up into a mountain of corpses.
It was clear that Luozhou was hit by floods.
It was obvious that the whole city was completely burned down by fire.
But this courtyard still stands here. As if he had never been disturbed by anyone.
At this moment, in the main hall of this courtyard.
Lin Luo held a tea cup and sat in the guest seat. A pair of eyes stared at the owner of this courtyard with a hint of fear.
"Old prince, Luozhou has suffered such a catastrophe. Are you still not planning to leave the mountain?"
"Going out of the mountains? I have long since given up on this idea. Isn't it beautiful to be intoxicated with mountains and rivers?"
Sitting on the main seat is an old man over fifty years old. The old man was dressed in a golden robe, and every move he made exuded a sense of dignity.
With a wave of his hand, two Jiao'e came close to him.
One person was squeezing his shoulders and the other was rubbing his legs. They seemed to be enjoying themselves very much.
But Lin Luo knew that this person was not simple.
How could a person who could make the late emperor fearful be a simple person?
If the Lin family wants to take over the world, the people in front of them must be eliminated.
But before getting rid of it, why not cooperate?
Thinking of this, Lin Luo immediately said:
"Old prince, Luozhou is now suffering from floods, and hundreds of thousands of victims have been displaced. However, Luozhou state herdsman Han Zheng is guarding and stealing, and refuses to release grain."
"At this moment, Luozhou is in urgent need of someone who can take charge of the overall situation!"
"Please, the old prince, take action for the sake of the people of Luozhou!"
"You want me to do this for the sake of the people of Luozhou?"
The old prince seemed to have heard the joke, with a look of disdain on his face.
He pinched the maid next to him and suddenly straightened up.
"Boy, don't think I don't know what you have planned!"
"When I was thinking about the relief food, did I think about today?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Luo's face changed slightly.
"I don't know what the old prince is talking about."
"What a surprise!"
The old prince smiled faintly, but there was a coldness in his cloudy eyes.
"Your name is Lin Luo, right? To be honest, you are far from that old dog Lin Chunqiu."
"If he were here at this moment, he would definitely tell the truth to me."
"Young people, you should have the attitude of asking for help!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
When Lin Luo heard this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. But within a moment, he regained his composure.
At this time, the old prince is still useful.
Thinking of this, he immediately bowed and said:
"The old prince stayed back. The lower official knew that he was wrong and asked the old prince to take charge of the overall situation."
After hearing this, the old prince finally stopped leaving.
He turned around and returned to his seat.
There was a smile on an old face, staring at Lin Luo and saying:
"It seems that you have realized the current situation."
"It's not impossible to want me to come out of the mountain. But what I want is Luozhou, do you understand?"
Lin Luo looked stern, and after pondering for a moment, he said:
"Han Zheng, the governor of Luozhou, is corrupt, perverts the law, and ignores the victims."
"This commander will definitely take this person back to the capital and let His Majesty personally try him."
The old prince nodded slightly,
"The next governor of Luozhou, send Yin Song here."
