Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Today, Lu Xunhuan did what he said. After everyone learned the song, he let everyone go home and rest early.

After leaving the training ground, he saw many soldiers, some of them dejected and with their heads down.

He said to everyone, "Let's go home first. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, he left.

After returning to the courtyard in the south of the city, a guest came to the house. He was the owner of the Jindian Pawn Shop in Changfeng Town, carrying two boxes of goods.

The two sides met, exchanged some polite words, then sat down and had a detailed discussion about the division of profits, and reached a consensus.

Those goods are jewelry, jade, antiques, etc. that have expired after pawning, and the pawnshop has costs.

The owner of Jindian Pawn Shop made a special account book and brought it over as a basis for future account division.

Once the jewelry store opens, these goods will be put on the counter and the selling price will naturally be higher than the previous pawn price, which will make it profitable.

After the two of them had reached an agreement, Lu Xunhuan handed the goods and account list to Ye Feihong, letting her handle it with full authority.

He took the pawn shop owner out for dinner.

In Zhongzhou City, the lights gradually came on.

In a private room of a luxurious restaurant, Lu Xunhuan was having dinner with his guests when someone suddenly knocked on the door: "Master Lu, is this convenient for you?"

Lu Xunhuan stood up, opened the door, and saw a strange man.

He asked, "What's the matter?"

The man looked around and asked in a low voice, "Can we go in and talk?"

Lu Xun Huan let the man in, closed the door, and said, "We are all family, so go ahead and talk."

The man said, "I was sent by the prefect. Today, Captain Qin of the Right Camp and Captain Li of the Center Camp presented a joint petition to the prefect, requesting your dismissal from your position as Captain of the Left Camp. The prefect said he would consider it and let us go for now, but we must give you a response tomorrow. Time is running out, so the prefect is wondering if you have any suggestions?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Wouldn't it be fine if the prefect just refused?"

The man said, "There are too many people who have signed this petition. There are more than ten provincial officials, two captains, and many captains and centurions from your left camp. There are hundreds of them. They say that you are training recklessly and treating your soldiers like animals. The prefect is afraid that you are really training blindly, so he dare not protect you at all costs."

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "I understand. If the prefect doesn't accept this group's petition, this matter might be reported to the capital. If I really mess around, the prefect will be in big trouble."

The man replied, "That's exactly the truth. Lord Lu, tell me the truth, don't you understand how to train soldiers?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "When an advanced method is first introduced, some people may not understand it. This is normal. It does take time for people to accept it."

He thought for a moment and said, "I need the addresses of certain people. I'm going to do some work tonight. Come, sit down and have dinner, and write it down for me later."

Gradually, Zhongzhou City became quiet as the night deepened.

Judge Shen was sitting in his study, thinking about tomorrow's affairs.

After a while, someone knocked on the door: "Master."

Judge Shen raised his eyes and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and the butler came in, bowing and saying, "Master, everything has been delivered."

Shen Tongpan sighed, "Alas, Lu Xunhuan fell from the sky and cost me so much extra money."

The housekeeper said, "As long as the matter can be accomplished, the young master will be able to get it back in a few years..."

"Nonsense," Shen Tongpan scolded.

The housekeeper slapped himself and said, "Look at my mouth, sir. If there is nothing else, I will go to rest."

Judge Shen waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

After the housekeeper left, Shen Tongpan sat in the study and felt heartbroken again.

Last time, when I tried to bribe the prefect, Wang Tingsi showed up unexpectedly and the 100,000 silver coins were wasted.

This time, in order to unite and overthrow Lu Xunhuan, and in order to unite and put pressure on the prefect and Sima Cao, he spent not only 100,000 taels of silver, but 300,000 taels.

This time it's been a big event, so it should be stable, right?

Just as he was lost in thought under the lamp, the door opened.

Judge Shen raised his eyes and saw Lu Xunhuan.

His eyes suddenly widened because he couldn't believe that Lu Xunhuan would come to him.

Lu Xunhuan closed the door, walked to the table and sat down opposite Shen Tongpan.

Then he took out a token, placed it on the table, and handed it to Shen Tongpan.

Judge Shen picked up the token and looked at it with a look of surprise on his face. "Wang Tingsi, what does this mean?"

Lu Xun Huan shrugged and said, "Do you think I'm bored staying in the mountains and have to come to Zhongzhou City to seek an official position?"

Judge Shen pondered his words for a moment: "You mean you came here with a mission?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "The Royal Court Division is a secret organization established by the royal family to investigate corruption. As a newly recruited member of the Royal Court Division, I came to Zhongzhou City to facilitate the investigation. Do you understand?"

Judge Shen trembled all over, as if the token was very hot and he couldn't hold it. With a "clang", it fell on the table.

Lu Xun Huan picked up the sign and put it in his arms: "I won't say anything more, let's not waste time on that."

He stood up and said, "The identities of the members of the Royal Court are a top secret of the royal family. I have no choice but to let you know the truth. If you dare to disclose it, be careful that you will lose your head."

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Judge Shen sat there blankly for a while, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and couldn't help shivering.

After a while, he began to feel pain in the area of ​​his heart.

Damn Lu Xunhuan, you should have told me earlier that three hundred thousand silver coins, once thrown out, can you ever get them back? It’s all gone to waste again!

Lu Xunhuan not only went to Shen Tongpan's house, but also went to the prefect's house.

The prefect then understood that the appearance of Wang Tingsi's men last time was not accidental. It turned out that Wang Tingsi wanted to place personnel in Zhongzhou Prefecture.

Wang Tingsi wants to place people here, but does he dare to dismiss Lu Xunhuan from his post?

Oh, what should I do? Wang Tingsi has set his sights on Zhongzhou. Will he dare to accept bribes in the future?

Being a local official but not daring to make a fortune, wouldn't it be a waste of my position?

Lu Xunhuan's trick was very effective and scared Shen Tongpan and the governor half to death.

On the second day, the prefect opened the court with a nervous mood, not knowing how Shen Tongpan and his gang would attack again.

A yamen runner came hurriedly and delivered a letter: "Sir, the Immortal Friends Association sent someone to deliver a letter."

The prefect was puzzled: "Immortal Friends Association?"

He took the letter, but before he opened it, a large group of people came to the door.

He suddenly became nervous and hid the letter in his sleeve without even having time to read it.

At the gate, Shen Tongpan walked in with a group of officials.

After everyone had taken their positions on either side, he saluted the prefect and said, "Your Excellency, I was confused for a moment and offended many people yesterday. I have since carefully considered Lu Xunhuan's training methods. Although his methods have caused great suffering to the soldiers, if everyone can persist, their abilities will surely be greatly improved. This is a good thing."

The prefect coughed dryly and asked the others, "Has everyone figured it out?"

Below, the officials who came to exert pressure yesterday responded: "I figured it out, I figured it out..."

The prefect's heart seemed to be lifted from a heavy burden: "It's good that you have figured it out. Everyone can go about their business."

After everyone had left in groups of three or two, the prefect took out the letter sent by the Immortal Friends Association and unfolded it.

After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a letter from Qiao Zheng of the Zhongzhou City branch of the Immortal Friends Association, saying that he represented the immortals in supporting Lu Xunhuan to take up the position of the Left Camp Commandant.

He sat in the hall for a while, then stood up and called out, "Come here, follow me to see the training of the Left Battalion."
