"I heard that the county magistrate Guo Zi was not coerced at all, he was the one who took the lead!"
"Yeah?"
"It's true. I heard many people say that. Ping County was also in chaos. They said they killed many people. After they were arrested, they even cursed the general!"
In the restaurant, several diners were talking in low voices about the situation in the world.
These people are all foreign businessmen with different accents. They are very helpless when talking about the chaos in various places.
This business is getting worse and worse.
"Have you heard? I heard that His Majesty wants to use eunuchs again. Yesterday, the students collectively submitted a letter. Even the officials did not dare to stop the movement!"
"I asked why these scholars are so irritable. It turns out it's because of this incident."
"Why would Your Majesty want to use a eunuch as an official? I thought he was some kind of wise king, but I didn't expect that."
"Yes, when the eunuchs brought trouble to the temple, didn't the big man die at the hands of those eunuchs?"
"Who knows what the emperor is thinking?"
The diners talked about the eunuch incident that caused a lot of commotion in Luoyang.
The sensation caused by this incident seems to have overshadowed the rebellion outside the city. From top to bottom, the scholar-officials were criticizing him verbally and writing, as if Cao Mao would re-establish a permanent minister tomorrow.
"Nonsense!!!"
I saw a diner standing up suddenly and glaring at everyone.
This man is tall and has a fierce appearance.
The diners immediately stopped talking and looked at him in surprise.
This person is Liu Lu.
After Liu Lu realized that he had attracted everyone's attention, he continued: "It is impossible for an eunuch to become an official!"
No one spoke, Liu Lu sat down again, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.
Beside him, sat four young men, all dressed as rangers.
"Liu Jun? Why are you so angry?"
These young rangers looked at Liu Lu blankly, not understanding why he was angry.
Liu Lu has successfully met with the local gang rangers.
Rangers are a large group, and it is common for them to communicate with each other. Because of uncertainty, it is also normal for them to defect to each other. Liu Lu claimed to be a ranger from Zhuo County. He was wanted and came to seek refuge, and through his outstanding ranger talents As well as the money he carried, he impressed many local rangers and quickly integrated into the team.
Liu Lu shook his head, "No problem, I was just a little excited when I heard about the eunuch."
The ranger shook his head, "What does this have to do with us? No matter what they do, we are the ones who suffer."
"These merchants don't dare to go out anymore, and some people come to me and say they want me to escort them out of the city. Who dares to go out of the city?"
"If I go out of the city with weapons, I will be killed if I meet the officials, who will accuse me of rebelling."
Liu Lu said nothing.
He never thought that Guo Zi would dare to rebel.
This is completely different from the Guo Jun I know! ! Aren't you a gentleman who speaks of benevolence, justice and morality? Why are you involved in rebellion? ?
And Liu Lu doesn't care about eunuch matters. It doesn't matter whether he is an eunuch or not. His Majesty wants to use it to get you people to oppose him?
Liu Lu was a little overwhelmed by the current situation.
Guo Ji has already rebelled. He heard that he was beaten and hid in the mountains. What should he do?
Go find him?
But the mountains and forests are so big, where can I go to find him?
Liu Lu only felt upset. Guo Ji had done such a big thing, how could he remain anonymous?
I have to show off in front of His Majesty!
Liu Lu began to think deeply. He subconsciously covered the dagger in his sleeve and woke up instantly.
How can we make trouble without guys?
This dagger was given to him by a local great ranger. Now he doesn't even have a sword, and he still wants to start a fight?
Liu Lu pursed his lips and motioned for the people in front of him to come closer.
"Tell me, where can I get some useful weapons?"
The young ranger lowered his voice, "If you want to buy a sword, I can contact you. It is a little more expensive, and it cannot be taken to the street. They are all standard weapons."
"What do you want to buy?"
"Are there any crossbows for sale?"
Several rangers around almost spit out the drinks in their mouths, and the one who spoke also widened his eyes, "What do you want to do with a crossbow?"
"Oh, don't worry, I'm just curious. I heard that the big families in various places have hidden some powerful crossbows, so no one dares to provoke them."
"Liu Jun, I don't know what's going on in Hebei, but in Luoyang, you can't buy strong crossbows. Maybe the children of the rich families can have a chance, but it's impossible for us. We can't get them. Ordinary crossbows may be available. There is a way, but it is impossible for the military to use a powerful crossbow."
Liu Lu laughed, "No problem, no problem, just get a sword."
Everyone finished their meal and left the place.
Liu Lu said goodbye to a few people and was about to get some weapons. After taking a few steps, a ranger followed him.
"Liu Jun"
"Why didn't you leave?"
"Liu Jun, if you need a powerful crossbow, I have a way here."
"ah??"
Liu Lu was overjoyed and quickly took his hand, "What is the path?"
The man whispered: "The arsenal of the Wei Dynasty is divided into many categories. Among them, there is a Ruolu Ling who specializes in hiding strong crossbows. The Ruolu Ling from the past was a very kind man. He often sold some damaged crossbows. Now there is a We don't know the new Ruo Luling, and we don't dare to contact him rashly. If you want to buy it, maybe you can talk to this person to see if there is a damaged crossbow."
Liu Lu was stunned. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. These people were obviously using themselves to test the quality of the newly appointed official.
However, Liu Lu really needed a strong crossbow, and he did not refuse in a hurry. He asked casually: "Who is this person?"
"I heard he came from the palace, and his name is Uncle Jiao."
"Um???"
Liu Lu's eyes widened, and the ranger asked hurriedly: "Do you recognize this person?"
"Hahaha, I'm a ranger from Hebei. How do I know anyone from the palace? I'm just surprised that this seat is actually occupied by someone from the palace?"
"You don't know, Ruo Luling is usually a eunuch in the palace."
"Oh, so it's so easy to talk about. Then I'll go find this person. Do you know where his mansion is?"
"I know! I know!"
The ranger was overjoyed and asked again: "What are you going to tell him?"
"I will knock on his door and when he comes out, I will tell him that Duke Nai is here to buy a crossbow!"
The ranger was stunned.
He smiled bitterly, "Liu Jun, you can't be too straightforward about this matter, and you have to leave yourself some room. You have to tell him that you need wood for work, and if you want to help dispose of the waste, ask him to transfer the damaged and unusable ones." The crossbow was disassembled and put into the barrel."
"A barrel of crossbows??"
"Yes, it's just a big bucket. If you're lucky, you can assemble a powerful crossbow. If you're not lucky, you may not be able to assemble a usable crossbow even with three or four buckets."
"In this way, even if someone discovers it, nothing big will happen. After all, those are just waste products and cannot be used."
Liu Lu probably understood their trading method.
Buying ordnance by collecting scraps is really yours! !
Liu Lu patted the man on the shoulder, "Okay, leave this matter to me!"
After chatting with the ranger for a long time, the ranger finally brought him to the mansion of Jiao Jun and revealed some secrets of their past transactions to Liu Lu.
Liu Lu grinned, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell all these things after I am caught?"
The ranger shook his head, "Liu Jun is not a villain, what is there to worry about?"
"It seems that the last person who made a deal with you is quite powerful, isn't it?"
But Liu Lu saw the essence of the matter.
The ranger scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, but did not continue.
After Liu Lu said goodbye to the ranger, he wandered around a few more times. When the sky gradually turned dark, he saw Uncle Jiao returning to the mansion in a car. Then he stood up, looked around again, and then stepped forward. Knock on the door.
"A distinguished guest is here. What are your orders?"
The servant opened the door. Even though Liu Lu was dressed as a ranger, the servant did not say anything bad and asked politely.
There is nothing we can do about it. There are too many lunatics in Luoyang, and clothes and behavior cannot be used to judge a person's identity.
The servants have seen people knocking on the door naked, and they have also seen people knocking on the door wearing women's clothes. Who knows if the ranger in front of him is also played by a nobleman.
"I'm looking for Uncle Jiao!"
Liu Lu's words were simple and clear.
"Then how should I report it?"
"Just let me in!"
Liu Lu rushed into the house, pushed away the servant and walked inside. When the servant saw this, he was even more convinced that the man in front of him was not a ranger, but must be a nobleman!
Only noble people would go crazy like this!
He had no choice but to loudly remind Uncle Jiao in the inner room.
When Uncle Jiao saw this familiar face, his eyes lit up and he waved his hand to let the servant leave.
And Liu Lu laughed even more, it is indeed you!
Uncle Jiao pulled him into the house.
"Why did you come to my place??"
"Nai Gong came to you to buy a powerful crossbow!"
