Luoxiang Street is the quietest place in Yangzhou, at this time the gate of the Guan Mansion is tightly closed, and the owner of the house, Guan Lin, is leisurely drinking tea. Guan Lin was not too tall, but his eyes were very sharp, and Su Fang, who was sitting opposite him, kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, and he said with some fear, "Guan Changshi, I really didn't talk nonsense at that time!" ”

"Su Sima, this official doesn't blame you for anything, why are you so scared, look at your appearance, how can you say that you are also a state official, what kind of system is this?" Guan Lin didn't give Su Fang face at all, and Su Fang didn't dare to resist, just nodded vigorously. For Su Fang, he is really afraid of Guan Lin, he will not forget his predecessor Liu Jiqian, although he doesn't know how Liu Jiqian died, but he can conclude that Liu Jiqian's death is related to Guan Lin. Su Fang is not stupid, on the surface, Guan Lin is just a governor's history, but who knows what kind of secrets are hidden behind him? Su Fang was afraid of death, so he tried to make himself a little confused.

"Guan Changshi, please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely pay more attention!"

"Well, Su Sima, I see that your face is not too good, are you infected with the wind cold?" Guan Lin put down the teacup and asked with a smile.

"Lord Changshi bothered, and he also blamed the lower officials for being unlucky, so the eldest prince of Lu set up a banquet, and drank a few more glasses when he was happy, and then he got drunk directly. It was nothing, but on the way back, I didn't know where a few horse maniacs came from, and directly forced the sedan chair of the lower official into the Qinhuai River, no, it became like this! ”

After listening to Su Fang's narration, Guan Lin couldn't help laughing, this Su Fang really can't support the wall in the mud, he has become Sima, and he can't change his stinky problem. He tapped his fingers on the table, and said a little coldly, "You pay attention to me in the future, can you die if you drink less, I see you, sooner or later, one day you will either die on a woman's belly, or die on this drinking!" ”

"Yes, yes, what Lord Changshi taught me is that the lower officials must change!" Su Fang hurriedly stood up, hunched down and lowered his head like a slave, and didn't even have the courage to look at Guan Lin.

"Can you change it? Hehe, if you can change it, then the dog probably won't eat! ”

Hearing Guan Lin's words, Su Fang couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, but then suppressed it again. As if seeing that Su Fang was a little angry, Guan Lin didn't care at all, he stood up and walked to Su Fang with his hands behind his back and walked to Su Fang and sneered, "Su Fang, you remember, since I can raise a dog, there must be a way to kill a dog, although I Guan Lin doesn't like dog meat, but I will not be soft on dogs that dare to bite their owners." ”

Guan Lin's words were like a knife and stuck coldly in Su Fang's chest, he couldn't help but cold sweat oozing out of his forehead, he really didn't want to die, even if it was a dog, thinking of this, he knelt down straight, "Master, don't worry, I will be a good dog!" ”

"Hehe, that's good, it's really a good dog. Su Sima, since you have already figured it out, then go out for me to cooperate with Master Lu, remember that there are many benefits to buying grain this time, don't mess it up! After Guan Lin finished speaking, he waved his hand a little impatiently, Su Fang couldn't be clearer about this action, stood up and patted the dust on the hem and asked in a low voice, "There is no problem with purchasing grain, but what do you want to say about Lord Thorn Shi?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, Qin Zhe doesn't have a few days to live!" Guan Lin showed a cold smile on his face, even Su Fang felt this coldness, could it be that this Guan Lin really dared to kill Shi Shi?

"Yes, the little one is going to retire now!" After saying that, Su didn't dare to let go of one more fart, so he left the Guan Mansion in a gloomy manner.

At noon, Su Fang saw Lu Ziying, who was buying grain, and saw Su Fang pull Lu Ziying aside and muttered in a low voice, "Eldest son, when you were drinking, Su didn't say anything strange, right?" ”

"Strange words?" Lu Ziying frowned and thought about it and replied, "Su Sima, are you joking, that is, you fell asleep on the table directly after drinking too much, no matter how Lu shouted at you, he couldn't wake up, so he asked his subordinates to send you home, is it possible that Lord Sima still has the habit of talking in his dreams?" ”

Hearing Lu Ziying say this, Su Fang breathed a sigh of relief, he patted his chest and sighed, "It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, I'm relieved!" ”

"Master Sima, you are really strange, is there really anything that can't be said?"

Su Fang hurriedly shook his hand in denial and said, "How come?" The eldest prince is too worried, but I'm afraid that I will say something that shouldn't be said and hurt our relationship. ”

"That's right!" Lu Ziying pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and after speaking, he gave a grateful salute to Su, and his expression was very sincere.

"By the way, eldest prince, there is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time, what are you doing with so much food? Also such a high price acquisition! Su Fang looked at the cart of grain and asked with a puzzled face.

"Hehe, Su Sima, you don't know about this, you have been in Jiangnan for a long time, and you don't know much about the situation in the north, this year this year is not very good, in a few months, as soon as the drought comes, this grain is a good thing!"

Before Lu Ziying finished speaking, Su Fang's eyes began to wander, no wonder Guan Lin cared so much about food, he dared to see the prospect of food, in this case, can he Su Fang also get a piece of the pie?

"The eldest prince is really unique, it seems that he can get a lot of benefits this time, hey, eldest prince, look at this" Su Fang stared at the grain leisurely, his hand was still empty, and he clenched his fist and took it back.

How could Lu Ziying not understand what Su Fang meant, after he scolded the dog thing, he said with a smile, "Su Sima, with our relationship, can Lu still let you help in vain?" You do these first, and after the deed is done, there will be heavy thanks! Lu Ziying said and took out a stack of tickets from his sleeve and secretly stuffed them to Su Fang, Su Fang took a cursory look, and couldn't help but smile and frown, good guy, this must be at least 20,000 yuan, this Lu family is really rich.

"Hehe, eldest son, you still understand me!"

"Huh!" Lu Ziying smiled faintly, but scolded in his heart, what a thing that doesn't know life or death, now let you be happy, and then let him spit out a hundred times what he eats, he Lu Ziying has not been so flattering. blames his cousin, so he had to let Lu Ziying play such a role.

The grain purchase went smoothly, and knowing that everything had changed two days later, it was a bright morning and all the Yangzhou officials were ready for the new day. At this moment, the drum outside the yamen of Yangzhou Mansion was suddenly beaten, and the person who beat the drum was actually the eldest son of the Lu family in the famous town of Jiangnan. At this time, the Yangzhou officials didn't dare to slack off, and invited Lu Ziying in without any hesitation, it was nothing, aren't these sons of the family like this, and the slightest trivial matter will be moved to the court, but when Lu Ziying made his intention clear, Luo Dawei, who was sitting in the government office, directly spread it in the chair. It took a long time for Luo Dawei to come to his senses under the shouts of the officials, he looked at Lu Ziying not far away, and his face immediately changed to a bitter gourd face, could it be that he was the end of his official life, the grain of the eldest prince of the Lu family disappeared overnight, didn't he want his old life?

"Eldest prince, is this grain really gone?" Luo Dawei regretted it as soon as he asked, he really wanted to slap him in the face twice, isn't this purely brainless. Sure enough, after listening to Luo Dawei's words, Lu Ziying's face darkened, and he pointed at Luo Dawei and snorted sarcastically, "Luo County Order, do you think this son will joke about this kind of thing?" ”

"This" Luo Dawei also knew that he was indeed stupid enough, this kind of thing can be asked, who is Lu Ziying, who is the dignified Lu family, will he make such a joke with him for breaking the county order?

Luo Dawei knows that he can't control this matter anymore, so let's report it truthfully, the big deal is to lose his position, anyway, it's good to be alive.

The Assassin's Mansion is very magnificent, but today the atmosphere in the Assassin's Mansion is a little dignified, Qin Zhe looked at the trembling Luo Dawei's face turned green, and he rarely patted the case and shouted, "Check it for me, check it for me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to arrive in Suzhou, and this kind of thing happened at this time!" ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Thorn Shi, please rest assured, the lower officials have already sent out all the officials of the government, and they will definitely not let go of any clues!" Luo Dawei knew that he would definitely be unlucky today, but he was also mentally prepared, wasn't he ready to be scolded when he came?

"Luo Dawei, tell me, how much grain did Master Lu lose in total?"

"That's a total of 110,000 stones!" After speaking, Luo Dawei quickly lowered his head.

"What? You Luo Dawei, how did you become an official, so much food flew under your nose, did you eat dry rice? Luo Dawei, let me tell you the truth, if this grain can't be recovered, you and I, the masters, don't want to keep it, if you want to live, just give me a desperate look! ”

"Yes, the lower officials will never dare to slack off!" At this time, Luo Dawei also knew how serious the matter was, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Suzhou, and the neighboring Yangzhou actually had this kind of earth-shattering case, so let alone lose his official position at that time, if he could not lose his life, it would be God's blessing.

Qin Zhe was in a hurry, Guan Lin was even more anxious than him, once these grains were transported to the north, it would be an untold amount of wealth, especially now that I don't know who took the grain. Guan Lin kept walking, no matter how much he wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of anyone else in Yangzhou who had so much energy, turning 110,000 stone of grain into air overnight, which was also incredible, he also considered the possibility of Lu Ziying's self-stealing, but after thinking about it, he vetoed this possibility, Lu Ziying is not a fool, why did he do this, it obviously didn't benefit him at all, and more importantly, his younger brother who didn't make it happen, Lu Zihao also counted on this batch of grain to earn some face for himself.

"Bastard, who the hell stole the grain?" Guan Lin felt that his head was too big, 110,000 stone grain was not a small amount, even if he went to buy it again, it would be too late, if he didn't want to find a way not to solve this problem, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Suzhou, he would use this reason to take Yangzhou officialdom, he Guan Lin had no way at all.
