After all, Lu Haosheng was still escorted by Qiu Ruxue and his party, and set off for Beishan, his luggage was not much, most of which were books, and the car was full.

At the beginning, he fled from the capital and walked on foot, which made him miserable, but this time, he went by car, and Qiu Ruxue led ten guards, all of whom were warriors with one as ten, but they were all coarsely dressed and linen, except for delicate weapons such as daggers that could be carried with him, and other weapons were placed in bags under the saddle, and they were not blatantly displayed.

This trip to Beishan, according to Chu Huan's meaning, it is not appropriate to make a big show on the road, after all, although Beishan was defeated, Xiao Huanzhang and Luo Dingxi and others are dead, but because of this, the situation over there is very chaotic, at this time, there are few thieves in Beishan, the more low-key the better, Chu Huan prepared for Lu Haosheng The carriage is also very simple.

King Qi obviously cared very much about Lu Haosheng's appointment, and personally sent him out of the palace for several miles, but Chu Huan went to the military camp outside the city before dawn because he was busy with affairs, so there were few people who said goodbye to Lu Haosheng, and he seemed very lonely.

However, before Chu Huan left, he asked Qiu Ruxue to bring fifty taels of silver and handed it to Lu Haosheng, as a coil, fifty taels of silver is naturally a lot of money for ordinary people, but for a governor who went to Beishan to take office, it was really a drop in the bucket, and Qiu Ruxue also explained on behalf of Chu Huan, the fifty taels of silver were still paid by Chu Huan himself.

Although Xiguan is not what it used to be, it is not as stretched as when Chu Huan first came, and one tael of silver is broken into ten taels, but the silver of the New Salt Administration and the Department of Households, regardless of income and expenditure, must follow the rules, Lu Haosheng is the governor of Beishan, and the finance of Xiguan naturally has no obligation to allocate silver to him, and the silver of the New Salt Administration is mainly the income of Xinyan, and his main expenditure is used in military construction, and the imperial court cannot take out the military salary, and Xiguan cannot but keep the army, and the soldiers eat food and get military salaries, and these silver must always have a source, It can only be provided from the New Salt Administration.

As for the household department, the common people have not even planted food, naturally it is impossible to obtain taxes from the hands of the people, the biggest benefit, in addition to the stolen money obtained from the previous seizure of the Zhu Party and the compensation and spoils obtained because of the war, the main source is the commercial tax of the merchants, compared with the new salt bureau that is now in the limelight, the household department is far behind, but the pressure borne by the household department is much lighter, and it is not as good as the new salt department to supply huge military spending. The money of the Department of Household Affairs was mainly used to pay the salaries of the officials of Xiguan Province and some simple construction at present.

According to Qiu Ruxue's statement, Chu Huan took out fifty taels of silver, or for the sake of serving the imperial court together, the governor's mansion was thrifty, and Chu Huan's fifty taels of silver were still difficult to scrape together.

Lu Haosheng just wanted to go to Beishan to get more silver, he was the governor of Beishan who was expected to be appointed, and after he went, he would first confiscate Xiao Huanzhang's property, and by the way, even Xiao Huanzhang's cronies would get rid of a batch, Beishan Xiao Huanzhang's group was rich and rivaled the country, and from them, it was natural to get a large amount of silver.

Bidding farewell to King Qi, Lu Haosheng went on the road with confidence.

A group of people left Shuoquan, according to Qiu Ruxue's words, there are now two roads to Beishan to go, one is well-known, from Shuoquan to the east, through Jiazhou, and then into the territory of Beishan Qingzhou, and then into Xinzhou, where Yuchangcheng is located, this road is high and long, to go around a big circle, not to mention it will take ten days to arrive, and the other road is from Shuoquan to the north, through the eagle's nest stream that was discovered not long ago, you can cross the border of Xiguan and Beishan, directly into the territory of Xinzhou, from this road, You can save half the time.

It's just that the road is difficult to pass through the Eagle's Nest Stream, and the Eagle's Nest Stream is too narrow to be navigable, so it must be walked on foot, which is much steeper than the other road.

Lu Haosheng also made a decision immediately, ordered to go from the Eagle's Nest Stream, Qiu Ruxue is not nonsense, along the way, Lu Haosheng said how to go, in fact, the Eagle's Nest Stream is only a hundred miles away from Shuoquan City, set off in the morning, Qiu Ruxue and others rode horses, Lu Haosheng took a carriage, did not spend a day's work, and then arrived at the Eagle's Nest Stream, but when it came to the Eagle's Nest Stream, it was already dark, and it was not suitable to walk this small stream at night, so I found the nearest village to rest for a night, and set off early the next morning, arrived at the Eagle's Nest Stream, abandoned the car and left the horse, and rode a horse through the Eagle's Nest Stream.

For Lu Haosheng, he had never walked through such a steep place, and by the time he crossed the Eagle's Nest Stream, he was already sweating and breathing rapidly, and it took him a long day to recover his senses.

After that, it was on horseback, on the way more than one day, from Shuoquan at noon on the fourth day, finally looking at Yu Changcheng in the distance, fortunately on this way in addition to crossing the eagle's nest stream is a little difficult, but it is also safe and sound, and there is no bandit robbery.

When I arrived at the city gate, I saw that there were a few soldiers guarding the city gate, but they were lazily leaning on the city root to bask in the sun, and the people at the city gate were in and out, but they didn't ask, but they saw that the convoy was full of people, and they talked for a long time, looking for various reasons, nothing more than asking the convoy to take some silver from the passing, Lu Haosheng looked at it and frowned, these soldiers had no military discipline, they were casual and domineering, he looked at it in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, he wanted to pay a private visit to see what Yu Changcheng was like now.

Entering the city, it was chaotic and orderly, Qiu Ruxue also frowned, Lu Haosheng had a gloomy face along the way, and asked Qiu Ruxue to inquire about the location of the Governor's Mansion in the city, and the person who was inquired looked at Qiu Ruxue like a monster, and said with a smile: "The Governor's Mansion is almost burned, there are not a few courtyards left, and in the first few days, someone went in every night to look for things, and no one cared, and now there is not even a ghost shadow...... Oh, no, I heard that the governor's wife was burned to death inside, hehe, maybe in the middle of the night three watches, you can still see her ghost inside, they all say that she looks like a country, if you really see it, it will be worth it to be killed by the female ghost. ”

Qiu Ruxue didn't pay attention to his nonsense, asked where he was, and escorted Lu Haosheng to the Governor's Palace, as passers-by said, the long street outside the Governor's Mansion was almost empty, walking on the long street, cold and deserted, making people panic, and when they walked to the Governor's Palace, it was really a mess, the wall collapsed, and the wooden beams that had been burned into black charcoal were still erected horizontally, although the Governor's Palace had been burned down for several days, but the air seemed to be filled with the smell of dust after the fire.

Lu Haosheng entered the courtyard, everywhere was in a mess, a smell mixed with rancid smell penetrated into his nose, he raised his hand to cover his nose, frowned, looked around, and his heart was extremely cold.

Although he knew that there had been a fire in the Beishan Governor's Palace, he did not expect it to burn so badly, although he vaguely saw the luxury of the Governor's Mansion at the beginning, but it was already a thing of the past, leaving only a few houses standing alone outside the mess.

I thought that in Xiao Huanzhang's Governor's Mansion, even if the person died, there would be more or less property left, and the King of Qi issued an order at that time to let Beishan seal the Governor's Mansion, but now it seems that Mo said that he found rare treasures in this Governor's Mansion, but he was afraid that he would not even find a tael of silver.

"Master Lu, where are we going next?" Qiu Ruxue and the others were leisurely, they got Chu Huan's instructions to guard Lu Haosheng here for half a month, and after half a month, they set off back to Shuoquan, until what Lu Haosheng did here, they didn't have to say a word, they only had one task, that is, to protect Lu Haosheng from being killed within half a month.

Lu Haosheng's face turned blue, and he said coldly: "Send someone to call the governor of Xinzhou." Xiao Huanzhang is dead, this Xinzhou Zhizhou should always be there, right? The prince sent someone to give him an order to protect this place, but ...... Just go! ”

Qiu Ruxue smiled and said: "Lord Lu, let's come here to protect you, not your servants, you have to know this." In my opinion, there is no need to call Yuezhou Zhizhou, you see here, it is not a place to speak, it is better to go directly over there, how about Lord Lu ask over there? ”

Lu Haosheng glanced at Qiu Ruxue, and felt annoyed in his heart, but he also understood that these people were lent by Chu Huan to protect himself, and they were really not his entourage.

He angrily led a group of people to ride horses to find the prefect of Shinshu, the prefect was open, and a few soldiers were guarding in front of the door, Lu Hao gave birth to a horse, and was about to go inside, but the soldiers had stopped him and scolded: "Are you blind?" I didn't see what kind of place this is, and it's also a place where you can break in, hurry up and get out of here, and then don't go and discount your doglegs. ”

"You ......!" After Lu Haosheng entered Yuchang City, his heart was already very uncomfortable, and he was even more angry when he saw the dilapidated appearance of the Governor's Mansion, and at this time he saw that the little soldier dared to stop himself, although he was a literati, he was already full of anger at this time, raised his hand and slapped the soldier in the face, and was about to scold, the soldier next to him was nimble, and saw Lu Hao's vivid hand, and kicked over, Lu Haosheng didn't expect that the soldier on the side dared to move, was kicked in the waist, "ouch", and fell to the ground.

Several soldiers were about to rush up, and Qiu Ruxue roared fiercely: "What a bold man, who dares to do it." The one-arm had drawn his sword from its sheath, and all the guards behind him had drawn their swords one after another.

Qiu Ruxue was born as a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and he was already full of murderous aura, and this loud shout was full of momentum, and the soldiers were stunned, looking at each other, and they didn't dare to move for a while.

Qiu Ruxue stepped forward and made a look, and a guard beside him helped Lu Haosheng up, Lu Haosheng was not lightly kicked on his waist, and he was helped up, his waist was still faintly painful, his face was pale, and he said angrily: "Where do you know the state?" Let him get out of here. ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and one of them had already asked, "Hey, who the hell are you?" Do you know what the crime of trespassing on the governor's capital is? ”

Qiu Ruxue coughed before he said: "This is the new governor sent by the King of Qi, you go and ask Zhizhou to come out." ”

"King Qi?" The soldiers looked at each other even more, "Which King of Qi?" Lord Zhizhou said that in the recent past, the governor of Xiguan Chu may send someone over, as long as the person arrives, let us report it immediately when we see it, but I didn't say that the king of Qi would send someone. ”——
