Lu Yanyan gave Lu Changping a few banknotes.

“When doing things, you must learn to work backwards. If you can’t see too far ahead, set the first step goal first, find a way to get others to follow your ideas, and then work your way forward.

You must learn to muddy the waters first, so that your opponent cannot see your true intentions, which will make it easier for you to do what comes next."

Lu Changping took the banknote and said, "Aunt, I'm not short of money."

Lu Yanyan: No, you are short of money.

"You can go to any restaurant or teahouse these two days, as long as you can get information. Keep the banknotes. The money your father gave you is not enough."

Lu Changping originally had some clear ideas, but was confused by Lu Yanyan's ambiguous words.

"father……"

Lu Fugui stood up and walked out of the room, glancing at Lu Changping before leaving.

"Think for yourself."

Lü Changping: ...

While Lu Changping was still racking his brains, Fan Yunchuan, the co-magistrate of Shangyang Prefecture, was furious at Mrs. Fan and Butler Liu.

Originally, Fan Yunchuan was very happy when he learned about the pink pearl necklace.

But within half a day they were informed that the guards who went to rob the banknotes were killed, and several were sent to the garrison.

Fan Yunchuan was so angry that he almost laughed.

The eight best guards of the prefectural governor were unable to defeat three outsiders, two of whom were weak women. It was really embarrassing.

Also, how brazen were these two idiots to allow the guards of the Tongzhifu to rob the banknotes openly?

"Why not find someone from outside?"

When Butler Liu heard Fan Yunchuan's angry shout, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Master, those outsiders are leaving the city after receiving the banknotes. My wife and I are worried that if we find someone at the last minute, we might end up delaying important matters and letting them escape..."

"idiot!"

Fan Yunchuan kicked Liu Jiang hard several times.

He had no grudge against Huang Lianchun, nor any friendship with him.

I never expected that Huang Lianchun would want to use this incident as an excuse.

What good does this do him?

Whenever Fan Yunchuan thought about the fact that Huang Lianchun had not only the guards of the Fan family in his hands, but also evidence of his corruption over the years, he would tremble with anger.

Huang Lianchun only took up the position of garrison commander last year, and over the past year, he never interfered in the open and secret struggles between him and Lin Yuwen.

How did he get this evidence?

Fan Yunchuan suddenly sat down on the chair, his eyes bloodshot.

Lin Yuwen, it must be him!

In the early years, Lin Yuwen secretly collected evidence of corruption against Dong Fei, the magistrate of Jiangyi County, and brought Dong Fei down.

He should have thought of it long ago. Lin Yuwen was good at controlling people's hearts. In his early years, he used the name of the same surname to win over Lin Pingzhi and often went in and out of the garrison.

I'm afraid that by then, he had already been connected with Huang Lianchun.

Lord Chen will be going to the capital soon, and Lin Yuwen wants to step on him and take the position of prefect.

Speaking of corruption, which official in Shangyang Prefecture is not corrupt?

If Lord Yao were still alive, they would naturally not dare to do so.

But Prefect Chen is different.

Although Fan Yunchuan didn't know why Chen Su, the emperor's uncle, was so greedy.

However, the corruption in Shangyang Prefecture was caused by Chen Su.

The Chen family holds seven or eight birthday banquets every year.

If these people weren't greedy, they wouldn't even be able to afford gifts.

Last month, there was a rumor in the city that Chen Su would be able to leave Shangyang Prefecture and go to Luocheng before the New Year.

Chen Su neither admitted nor denied it.

Well, that's true.

Everyone was trying their best to win the favor of Prefect Chen at the Prefect's wife's birthday party in September, hoping to move up in their position before he passed away.

The anger in Fan Yunchuan's eyes grew more and more intense.

Not to mention other official positions, the dispute over the prefectural governor was only between him and Lin Yuwen.

Lin Yuwen has a poor background, so how could she get a gift like a pink pearl necklace?

But he actually asked Huang Lianchun to use evidence of corruption to threaten the three guards and force him to hand over the necklace and 200,000 taels of silver notes.

Does he dare not give it?

Even though he had embezzled most of the money, he gave it to Chen Su as a gift.

When the time comes, Chen Su will not protect him.

Maybe she even wants to swallow up the rest of his property.

By then, not to mention the money, he would lose his official position and even his life...

Fan Yunchuan was so angry that he kicked the table to the ground.

He pointed at Mrs. Fan with a trembling finger.

"Give me the necklace, and prepare two hundred thousand taels of silver."

Mrs. Fan, who was frightened by Fan Yunchuan's anger, no longer cared about being afraid when she heard that he wanted silver notes again.

"Master, we have already spent 130,000 taels today. If we spend another 200,000 taels, there will be nothing left in our family."

Fan Yunchuan stared at Mrs. Fan with cold eyes.

"If you, an idiot, hadn't been targeted, how could I have been blackmailed?"

Mrs. Fan's eyelids trembled, closing and opening again, with a desolate look in her eyes.

It's always like this. If you do well, it's your duty. If you do not do well, it's her fault.

"I want it right away. You must give it to me before daybreak."

After Fan Yunchuan finished speaking, he left without giving Mrs. Fan a chance to speak.

Mrs. Fan's eyes were red and she slapped Liu Jiang hard several times.

The sharp nails scratched Liu Jiang's already red and swollen face, leaving several bloody marks.

Liu Jiang knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe...

At the garrison, Huang Lianchun returned much later than usual.

Huang Lianchun's follower Xiao Ding could see that his master was in a good mood.

Ever since you failed to go to the capital last year, you have never been as happy as you are today.

"What's so happy about today, sir?"

Huang Lianchun looked at Xiao Ding, laughed, but said nothing.

Huang Lianchun is 38 years old this year, which is the prime age for a military general.

Over the years, he has been promoted by Lin Pingyuan, and it has not been easy for him to go from a soldier with no background to the garrison of the provincial capital.

But as soon as Lin Pingyuan was transferred, he knew that if he could not keep up with Lin Pingyuan's pace or was transferred to the capital, this would be the end of his life.

Last year, he took advantage of the Jiyang Army's uprising and, through Chen Su, came up with a good idea for the emperor.

He thought he could enter the capital city smoothly.

It is even possible that he would be noticed by the emperor like Lin Pingyuan and become an important border official.

But the soldiers from the city left, and he was left behind.

He originally wanted to follow Lin Pingyuan's path again, but the emperor actually sent Guan Shannian to Minzhou Prefecture again.

If the Minzhou garrison was not under the command of Lin Pingyuan, he might as well stay in Shangyang Prefecture as a garrison.

At the end of June, Lin Pingyuan was suddenly appointed as the General of the Zhen Army.

A second-rank military general.

How many military generals have spent their entire lives lingering at the third or fourth rank.

Lin Pingyuan is only forty years old.

In one year, he went from fifth rank to third rank and then to second rank.

This speed of promotion is really enviable.

This news made Huang Lianchun's originally cold heart boil again.

Huang Lianchun has been with Lin Pingyuan for more than ten years, and he knows Lin Pingyuan too well.

In his early years, he blocked a knife for Lin Pingyuan and nearly lost his life.

Lin Pingyuan is a very grateful person.

As long as I can get to his side, I will become a third-rank general sooner or later.

In order to be able to be with Lin Pingyuan, Huang Lianchun thought about it day and night, but there was never a good opportunity.

Until recently, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

A few days ago, a man named Liang Lu found him and asked him to help him take revenge.

Liang Lu was from Hanrong County, Xuanzhou Prefecture, and his real name was Wang Xiao.

Fourteen years ago, Wang Xiao and his family ran a cloth shop in Hanrong County, and their business was pretty good.

Wang Xiao's sister, Wang Juanjuan, is very beautiful.

Fan Yunchuan, the magistrate of Hanrong County at that time, was very fond of beautiful women.

To please him, his subordinates would do their best to find him the woman he liked...
