Master Luo Cao

The relationship between Lu Tian, ​​Marquis of Jinyang and the current emperor is somewhat different from that of monarch and minister, which can be summed up in two words—ambiguous.These faint wisps of ambiguity linger above the court hall, and the ministers can faintly hear and see it but cannot touch it, and only dare to speak a few words with their tongues when sitting and drinking with their best friends, no one has ever dared to put it On the face of it - still in front of one of the parties involved.

Seeing that Lu Tian's face turned from red to purple visibly, even Xu Meng, who had never dealt with Zhao Ciji very well, couldn't help sweating for him, bumped his arm secretly, and reprimanded in a low voice: " Did you drink too much? Say a few words less."

"Okay," Lu Tian finally came back to his senses, sneered a few times, and even clapped his hands a few times, "Very good." He moved his eyes to Fu Yunshu and said, "Master Fu, your Jiuhe County is full of talents. .Especially this county lieutenant, you really call me..." He squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about words, and after a while, he ground his teeth and said: "The more I look at it, the more I like it."

This is already a very obvious hatred.

According to the general situation, for his future career, Fu Yunshu had to sell Zhao Ciji non-stop, in order to appease the mood of Marquis Jinyang.But since he took office, although Zhao Ciji didn't talk much, he did a lot of work. Fu Yunshu's heart, although I don't know what kind of madness he is today, but if he kicks people away mercilessly, Fu Yunshu will be sincere. Couldn't bear it, hesitated again and again, and still sighed: "County Zhao has been working so hard for Caishengmen these days, maybe his mind is not clear for a while, if there is something in his words that offends Lord Hou, this officer is here to report to Lord Hou for him. Sorry."

"Yo?" Lu Tian raised his eyebrows, "Can't you see that Mr. Fu is protecting his weaknesses?"

Fu Yunshu immediately stood up and saluted, "I dare not."

Lu Tian stared at him with a sullen face and cold eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled brightly. His previous gloomy face was gone, and it was still as bright and warm as a spring breeze. He looked at Fu Yunshu and smiled, "Why are you so nervous, get up quickly."

Fu Yunshu was not sure whether the imperial envoy was really magnanimous and planned to expose it, or whether he was determined to settle the score after the fall. While hesitating to speak, Lu Tian took his eyes away from his face and said calmly: "Since the county captain said that the entire Jiangbei mansion has nothing to do with it. If someone dares to touch the Golden Eagle Mountain, what should we do with the criminals hiding on the mountain?"

The whole hall was silent.

Lu Tian sneered silently.

Fu Yunshu bite the bullet and said, "Master Hou..." Lu Tian raised his hand to stop the words before he started, and Lu Tian said: "My lord, what I want is a careful, rigorous and foolproof plan, not your whim. Boasting Haikou." He stood up, walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, then slowly turned his head, looked at Fu Yunshu quietly and said, "I'll give you one day, before the sun goes down tomorrow, I will Hear a plan that satisfies me."

Fu Yunshu got up, saluted and said: "Yes, I will send you off to the Marquis of Jinyang respectfully."

A long time after Lu Tian left, the entire county government fell into an awkward silence.Fu Yunshu glanced at his subordinates one by one, and asked, "Who can think of a way to catch the thief?"

In the absence of the imperial envoy, the shackles on everyone's hearts were slightly eased. Wang Xiaozhu, who was relatively familiar with the county magistrate, couldn't help but muttered: "The Marquis of Jinyang is so full that he doesn't know how hungry he is. Where is Jindiaoshan? Can people go up?!"

Xu Meng immediately reprimanded: "Presumptuous! How can you slander the imperial envoy? If people can't get up, how do those flirtatious people get up? Could it be that they can put sheepskin on others and give themselves the right wings? ?!"

"Yes, how did those pampers get up?" Fu Yunshu's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he swished towards He Changfa who was limp on the ground, "He Changfa, let me tell you the truth, how did your accomplice go up to the Golden Eagle Mountain?"

"I don't know! The little old man only heard them say that if something happens, they will take the opportunity to hide on the Golden Eagle Mountain. I have never heard them say how to go up the mountain. I really don't know! The little old man was only coaxed by them for a while. Doing things for them, but I have never done anything other than bring that little girl to ask for money! Please forgive me!" He Changfa screamed, tears and snot mixed with saliva sticky on his face, and Fu Yunshu watched for a while Nausea, hurriedly looked away.

Xu Meng said quietly: "My lord, this old bastard has a vicious heart, but only one sentence is true and three sentences are false. I think if you want him to speak the truth, you must find some way to make him taste it."

"Master Xu is right. If that's the case, I'll leave this old thing to you to take care of." Fu Yunshu lowered his eyes and said calmly. After a pause, he added, "By the way, be careful not to kill him."

Xu Meng was stunned for a moment, then he answered "yes", turned around and greeted the two yamen servants, regardless of He Changfa crying and yelling, he dragged them out and walked out.

When Xu Meng walked away, Fu Yunshu turned his gaze back to his subordinates, and said, "Don't place your hopes on He Changfa, you have to figure out the solution yourself. Unless Qunyingzhai is really in collusion with Caishengmen, what else would they use?" method, to enter the gate of Qunying Village?"

Zhao Ciji said: "My lord, going to Jindiao Mountain doesn't mean you have entered Qunying Village."

"Oh?" Fu Yunshu raised his eyebrows, "What does Mr. Zhao say?"

Zhao Ciji said: "The Golden Eagle Mountain is so high and wide, and no matter how many bandits there are in Qunyingzhai, I'm afraid they won't be able to inspect them all. As long as those patriarchs bring enough dry food, they can hide in some inaccessible cave and let the sea go by." No matter how high or far Dong Qing's eagle eyes look, he might not be able to see all the little mice under his nose."

Fu Yunshu smiled helplessly, "But if the mouse wants to hide, it just needs to find a dark corner to hide. If we want to catch it, we have to grope there bit by bit with a lantern. Even Qunyingzhai and Caishengmen There is no contact, so it is easier said than done to catch them?" After that, he sighed, rubbed the space between his brows wearily, waved his hands and said, "That's all, you guys should step back first."

"Yes." All the arresting yamen servants saluted and left slowly, and after a while, Fu Yunshu looked up, but Zhao Ciji remained where he was. He asked suspiciously, "Master Zhao, is there anything else?"

"Thank you, my lord, for making excuses for the lower official. The lower official used his power of speech for a while, and caused my lord trouble." Zhao Ciji bent his knees and knelt down to Fu Yunshu, without any ambiguity.According to his official position, even if he salutes Fu Yunshu, he only needs to bow and salute. Fu Yunshu was startled by this sudden salute. He quickly stood up from the chair, helped him up, and said repeatedly: No way, no way, Mr. Zhao was too polite. It’s just..." Fu Yunshu rolled his eyes, stood firm, slowly let go of his hands, stood behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "Let me ask one more question, Mr. Zhao is not like this." Such a disrespectful and arrogant person, why did he charge against the Marquis of Jinyang today?"

Zhao Ciji was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I just can't get used to it."

Fu Yunshu's tone rose slightly, "Don't you understand?"

Zhao Ciji said: "The lower officials can't get used to people like Marquis Jinyang."

Fu Yunshu immediately thought that Zhao Ciji might be an unyielding defender of Taoism, and because of the rumors about the Marquis of Jinyang and the emperor, he looked down on him.He couldn't help but think of himself, if the relationship between himself and Brother Kou was exposed to the sky one day, what would happen to the unyielding Captain Zhao?Marquis of Jinyang's status is so much higher than his, he dares to speak satirically to his face, as a small county magistrate whose official position is only one rank higher than his, he is afraid that he will come to eliminate harm for the people with a knife .

Thinking of this, Fu Yunshu's little heart couldn't help but tremble, and he glanced at him cautiously. Seeing Zhao Ciji's face was cold, he coughed a few times in disguise, and said, "Although the Marquis of Jinyang exposed it on his face, But I will probably make a note in my heart, just in case, you take the board and squat in the prison yourself, show it to Lord Hou, and when I come up with an idea to lead the soldiers to Jindiao Mountain, I will mention you .”

Zhao Ciji glanced at Fu Yunshu gratefully, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, sir."

"Okay, you go, I'm tired too." Fu Yunshu covered his mouth and yawned quietly, and walked out while beating his waist, thinking that once this weak crown passes, no matter what, people will grow old by several years , was planning to pester Kou Luoche to give him a good massage later, when he suddenly heard Zhao Ciji behind him calling him.So he stood still, turned around, Fu Yunshu couldn't hold back, yawned again, and asked vaguely: "Well, what else is there?"

Zhao Ciji said: "My lord, be careful of Lu Tian."

What he said was so nonsense that the second monk Fu Yunshu Zhang was puzzled, and he was about to ask, but Zhao Ciji was like a monkey with oil on his feet, he slid and ran away without a trace, letting Fu Yunshu yelled behind him. Don't stop. "I don't know why, you should be more careful about him..." Fu Yunshu muttered softly, walking towards his mansion.

Passing through the colorful garden and coming to the porch, I saw Kou Luoche sitting on a bench with his back leaning against a pillar from a distance, with a book covering his face, presumably dozing off.Fu Yunshu thought to himself, wow, I'm suffering in court and you're being lazy here, so I couldn't help but start to play tricks, walked over on tiptoe, stretched out my index finger and middle finger, and poked at Kou Luoche's waist and eyes like a rainbow, Never thought that the fingertips hadn't touched the fabric, but the feet softened inexplicably, and the whole person fell obliquely, and was caught by someone.

Kou Luoqi put the remaining stone back into his pocket, uncovered the book covering his face, looked at Fu Yunshu with erratic eyes, and said, "Let me see which thief is so bold as to plot against me?" Master Kou obviously knows that acting should be a complete set. When his eyes fell on Fu Yunshu's face, his eyes showed a very real look of surprise, and his eyes dimmed for a moment. The bright red tip of his tongue touched the corner of his mouth. Kou Luoche said hoarsely: "Well , this little thief seems to have a good taste, let the village master think about it, how should I punish you?"
