Jinan is located in the hinterland of Shandong Province, south of Mount Tai, north of the Yellow River, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, due to the topography and geological structure, so there are many underground springs here, so it is called the spring city, it has always had the reputation of "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake".

Jinan is the provincial seat of Shandong Province, the city is high and the walls are thick, and the four gates are built with urn cities, which is extremely strong. There is a lake called Daming Lake about five miles in the northeast suburbs of the city, the area is close to 60 hectares, the lake surface is vast, the blue waves are rippling, the green willows are like smoke, the scenery is excellent.

There are many small islands in Daming Lake, the scenery is beautiful, it is a good place for the local people in Jinan to travel on weekdays, but since Luo Xiang, the eunuch of Shandong Town, built a water village on the small island in the lake, those fierce and evil fans will drive a boat to cruise in the lake every day, driving away the people who come to play, Daming Lake will gradually become deserted, as if it has become the private lake of Luo's father-in-law.

This is not all, Luo Xiang also took advantage of the fertile land on the shore of Daming Lake, not to mention ordinary people, even the landlords and gentry who were usurped land dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, because there were a few "dare to speak" who had already died in their families, Luo Xiang was a provincial town guard, and there were thousands of people raised under his hands alone, who dared to touch him?

I don't know if I covet the scenery of Daming Lake, or I am worried that I will be retaliated against if I do too much evil, so Luo Gonggong built a water village on the island in Daming Lake, and used it as a station, living on the island for a long time, and usually having to hold a boat when entering and leaving.

The small island where the water village is located covers an area of about thousands of square meters, has built simple fortifications, the island is full of weeping willows and tea trees, the houses are covered by green trees, and in the middle is a garden-style building built of blue bricks and glaze, at a glance, it is known that the cost is expensive, Luo Xiang, the eunuch of Shandong Province, lives in this mansion, and the surrounding houses are provided for his subordinates to live.

At this time, there was a fire burning in the study, using fine smokeless charcoal, and the golden toad beast on the case was spitting sandalwood. Luo Xiang, the eunuch guarding the town, sat at the coffee table, and a young eunuch was making tea with Baotu spring water.

Father-in-law Luo was wearing a warm fox fur, and his right index finger and thumb habitually rotated the jasper plate fingers worn on his left thumb, looking out of the window attentively, looking a little absent-minded.

When passing by Feicheng that day, Luo Xiang was going to kill Ma Rong'er's mother and son, but who ran out of a group of horse thieves and robbed Ma Rong'er. Luo Xiang was shocked and angry, and immediately transferred three thousand Tai'an guards to encircle and suppress Ma Mountain, wanting to snatch Ma Rong'er back to prevent future troubles, but at this time, Wang Tang rebelled in Yanshen Town, and soon occupied Tai'an Prefecture.

Tai'an Prefecture City is only a few dozen miles away from Feicheng, and Luo Xiang was afraid that Wang Tang would call, so he hurriedly ran back to Jinan Station and secretly sent someone to inquire about the news. When he learned that Xu Jin later sent someone to encircle and suppress Ma Shan, Luo Gonggong's heart also rose, and he vaguely guessed Xu Jin's purpose, he should have found out the news about Ma Rong'er's mother and son, after all, with the ability of Jinyiwei, it is not surprising to find out that Song Chi is raising a concubine outside.

It wasn't until later that Luo Xiang was relieved a little when he learned that although Xu Jin had exterminated Xiangma in the Horse Mountain, the bandit capital had escaped, and Ma Rong'er had not been caught. However, as long as Ma Rong'er is not dead, this will always be a disaster, plus Xu Jin is currently supervising the military affairs of Shandong Province, and has fought several big victories one after another, recovering several counties, and his prestige is like the sky, which makes Luo Xiang uncomfortable!

Although Xu Jin has no evidence to move himself at present, but the Liangzi has already been settled, Luo Xiang is naturally worried that Xu Jin will take the opportunity to rectify himself, after all, Xu Jin currently holds the power of life and death, and it is not impossible to announce a personal vendetta.

is also worried about being caught by Xu Jin with pigtails, so Luo's father-in-law has stayed in the station for a long time, and his subordinates have also restrained a lot.

Luo Xiang sighed secretly, a little regretful that he sent a dead man to assassinate Xu Jin, if there was no such thing, maybe there would be room for maneuver between himself and Xu Jin, now, I can only hope that this kid will plant a big heel fight on the battlefield, and it is better to die directly on the battlefield. However, this is obviously unlikely, and now Wang Tang's gang of thieves are besieged in Tai'an City by heavy soldiers, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

"Perhaps...... We can try to find someone to talk to! ”

Eunuch Luo was pondering uncontrollably, and the bald fanzi Yan Yang walked in, and said with a strange expression: "Father-in-law, Jinan Wei Yuan is here to command." ”

Luo Xiang sighed lightly and said, "Didn't Yuan Yi lead the troops in Tai'an City?" ”

Yan Yang shook his head and said, "The subordinates don't know either, and Commander Yuan also brought a person." ”

Luo Xiang frowned, stood up and walked out of the study.

Luo Xiang went to the front living room under the escort of several fans, and when Yuan Yi, the commander of Jinan Wei, saw Luo Xiang, he immediately stood up with an anxious look and saluted: "Yuan Yi has seen Luo Gonggong. ”

Luo Xiang quietly glanced at the other person sitting on the stabbing ground, and said lightly: "Commander Yuan, you don't lead troops to suppress thieves in Tai'an City, why did you come here to our house?" Aren't you afraid that Xu Qin will punish you for the crime of leaving your post without permission? ”

Yuan Yi couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, the reason why he ran back to Jinan overnight without taking leave was not because he didn't put Xu Jin in his eyes, he really had to do it, and said with a wry smile: "Gonggong Luo, this general is also ......" said and looked at Sun Cai, who was sitting on the ground with a difficult face.

Luo Xiang's heart moved, glanced at Sun Cai, and sneered sharply: "Who are you?" When you see the public security of this father-in-law, dare not be polite? ”

Sun Cai said hesitantly: "Gonggong Luo is worthy of being a provincial guard, and his momentum is not ordinary, but unfortunately this is useless to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not an official, but a thief who specializes in killing officials, see a fart salute!" ”

Luo Xiang's face couldn't help but change greatly, the knife behind him immediately rushed forward and pulled out the waist knife, and the bald fan Yan Yang made a direct move to fight the rabbit, and the five-fingered fan grabbed Sun Cai's face.

Sun Cai sighed lightly, stood up suddenly, and threw a punch, with a muffled snort, only to hear the snapping of bones, Yan Yang took a few steps back, his face was swollen red as purple, and his hand was dislocated.

Sun Cai shook his head and sat down, and said mockingly: "The eagle claw hand is okay, but you owe a little fire, if you guess correctly, you are the vulture who committed the big crime of destroying the door in Fengqiu back then, right?" ”

"Yuan Yi, what is the origin of this person?" Luo Xiang looked at Yuan Yi and asked sharply.

Yuan Yi said with a bitter face: "This person is the White Lotus Demon...... Teach people! ”

"Come on, take down this thief!" Luo Xiang immediately snorted coldly, and a team of fierce fans immediately swarmed into the hall.

Sun Cai said in the ground: "Come slowly, Luo Gong is still so impulsive when he is old, since I dare to come, I naturally have some support, there is an account book here, Luo Gonggong should take a look at it first and then make a decision." ”

After Sun Cai finished speaking, he threw the account book casually, and a fan quickly took it and checked it to confirm that there was no poison or anything like that, and then presented it to Luo Xiang.

Luo Xiang took the account book and opened it, his face instantly became ugly, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

Sun Cai said calmly: "This is just a copy, I didn't bring it originally, and even if Grandpa Luo tears it up, it's useless." ”

Luo Xiang's face gradually regained his calmness, waved his hand to signal Yan Yang and the others to exit the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what is your purpose?" ”

Sun Caihe said with a smile: "Father-in-law Luo is refreshing, we are ready to break through, please trouble Father-in-law Luo to prepare 100,000 stone of grain for us, as well as weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows, the more the better!" ”

Yuan Yi's complexion changed, the enemy is a felony of stealing his family and killing his head.

Luo's father-in-law's face sank, and he said abruptly: "Food can be given, but 100,000 stones is too much, at most 3,000 stones, as for weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows, our family can't get them, so we can't help." ”

Sun Cai sneered and stood up: "Since Gonggong Luo is not sincere, then it is okay not to talk about it, but if Tai'an City does not receive my news tonight, the next day the account book and Song Chi's concubine will be handed over to Xu Jin." Hey, I guess, Xu should be happy to accept it! ”

Yuan Yi shuddered smartly, Xu Jin investigated the granary deficit case in Yanzhou Mansion, and directly cut down more than 100 officials in charge of the granary, and also arrested hundreds of officials in eighteen counties.

Luo Xiang's expression changed, Song Chi's account book not only recorded the money and silver transactions with himself, but also several other officials in Shandong Province, involving hundreds of officials, if this account book fell into the hands of Xu Jin, then the fun would be great, and it was estimated that the entire Jinan officialdom would have to be turned upside down.

Seeing this, Sun Cai sat down again, crossed Erlang's legs and drank tea, looking like he was sure of you.

Luo Xiang said in a deep voice: "We really can't get 100,000 stone of grain, at most 10,000 stone, as for weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows, our family can let our subordinates evenly out a part, and it will only look like hundreds of pairs, and there will be no more." To be or not to follow you, it's a big deal! ”

Sun Cai opened his mouth and asked for 100,000 stone of grain, just to open the sky and spread the price, in fact, even if Luo Xiang can really get 100,000 stone of grain, even the thief soldiers in Tai'an City can't transport it, at this time, seeing Luo Xiang's resolute attitude, it should really only be able to get so much, so he nodded and said: "Okay, deal, you have to see the goods within ten days, otherwise the account book and people will be handed over to Xu Chopping Head." ”

Luo Xiang said coldly: "If our family gives you goods, how can you still deduct the account books and people?" ”

"Hey, this is simple, you can send someone to follow, as long as the food is in place, we will hand over the person and the account book to your subordinates, and the account book can be burned on the spot, and the person can be killed on the spot. Rest assured, Lao Tzu is also a person in the rivers and lakes, the heaviest promise, absolutely do what he says! ”

Luo Xiang hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
