Chapter 1339 Rob
Everyone was talking about it. Lin Chaoying quietly slipped into Lu Mansion and treated his injuries, while Murong Fu stayed behind. He wanted to see how Lu Wenhuan planned to deal with it.
Not long after, the steward of Lu Mansion came out and said to the Lingxiao Pavilion disciples, "Which of you can make the decision?"
One of the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion walked out. He was slender and had a dull face, but his eyes were quite bright and lively. He said in a weird accent, "My name is Wang Yan, and I can make the decision. What do you, Mr. Lu, say?"
After hearing this, Murong Fu couldn't help but look this man up and down, and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wang Yan was clearly Wang Yuyan pretending to be him.
The butler cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Wang. I am not in the house now. Please bring in the food and grass first. I have prepared a small amount of wine to reward you."
Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry, my master said that the food and grass cannot enter the house without the money. Either we wait here for your master to come back, or you can settle the account first, and we will send the food and grass in
Lu Mansion."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people seemed to explode. Apart from anything else, this attitude was enough to surprise them. Who are the Murong family? They dare to speak like this to the people of the General's Mansion. Don't they?
Do you know that the entire Xiangyang City is decided by the General’s Office?
The butler's expression was slightly suffocating. The master is in the house right now. Even if he waits until tomorrow, he won't be able to come back. Let alone settle the account, the master has no intention of spending any money to buy this batch of food.
His thoughts suddenly changed, and he showed an expression of embarrassment, "Wang Zhuangshi is in trouble. He is not here. How dare our subordinates make random decisions? And Wang Zhuangshi refuses to enter the house. When my master comes back, do you want him to come here to see you in person?"
Can’t do it?”
Wang Yuyan's face trembled and she seemed to be smiling, but her mask was obviously not very well-made, giving people the impression that she was smiling but not smiling. She said, "You don't need to worry about this. My master also said that if the three
If the Lu Mansion does not want this batch of grain and grass within the next hour, we will resell it to others at the same price."
During the war, especially when Xiangyang City was under attack, the price was not only three times higher, but five or six times higher, and some people bought it. They didn't want too much at all, and they wished they could stock up on more. After all, no matter how much money they have, they can't be used as food.
The butler's expression changed drastically, "Don't bully others too much!"
Wang Yuyan shook her head, "Don't get me wrong, your Excellency, Wang is just following orders. Anyway, I have given you the right of first refusal for the General's Mansion. If you don't want it, we can only sell it to someone else."
"Who said I don't want it?" the housekeeper argued, "It's just that the master is not here, I will definitely ask for it when he comes back."
Wang Yuyan spread her hands, "Then there's nothing I can do. Anyway, we only have three hours. Do you want love?"
Murong Fu watched this scene with great interest. Needless to say, she knew that these words must have been taught to her by Murong Xue. Otherwise, with her kind and good temper, how could she have said such words? She would have wanted to send the food and grass directly to her.
Give to others.
The housekeeper was speechless and hesitated for a long time, "Then let's wait for a while. I'll send someone to find the master first and ask him how he decided."
After saying that, he turned around and entered Lu Mansion.
The crowd around them gathered more and more, whispering to each other, trying to find out the origin of the convoy and the whole story. Some praised the Murong family for their extraordinary skills, while others scolded the Murong family for being black-hearted businessmen. The former hoped that the Murong family could continue to contribute to Xiangyang.
The city provided grain and grass, but the latter wished that the General Mansion could send troops to directly seize the grain and grass.
After a while, the butler came out again, with an extremely ugly face. Behind him was Master Lu. He came to Wang Yuyan in a swaggering manner and said, "Your surname is Wang, right? My father is not in the house, so this young master can also make the decision. But before that,
I would like to ask, where does this batch of food and grass come from?"
Wang Yuyan was not surprised at all, and replied calmly, "My Murong family paid for it and bought it from various places. Master Lu should know that the price of rice has nearly doubled in various places. My Murong family paid a huge price to transport it to Xiangyang."
It’s not too much to earn some travel expenses in the city, right?”
"It's not too much," Lu Shisheng nodded slightly, and then changed the topic, "But I now suspect that this batch of grain and grass is part of the batch of grain and grass that was robbed from Nanyang Town to Xiangyang..."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Wang Yuyan's face, but he could see nothing but dullness. His face turned cold, "So I want to check it out, do you mind?"
In fact, Wang Yuyan was indeed a little guilty. Fortunately, the workmanship of the mask on her face was extremely poor and could not show any subtle changes at all, so she did not reveal her flaws and said lightly, "I don't mind."
Murong Fu couldn't help but wonder to himself, had Murong Xue expected that Wang Yuyan couldn't act, so he gave her such a crude mask?
Master Lu waved his hand, "Come here, check the convoy, don't miss any details!"
Soon a group of about a hundred soldiers rushed out from the gate of the mansion and surrounded the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion. A dozen of them were sent to inspect the convoy.
Murong Fu's face turned slightly cold when he saw this, it seemed that Lu Wenhuan was planning to rob him.
Wang Yuyan's voice also turned cold, "Master Lu, you are not trying to rob me by force, are you?"
A trace of ridicule flashed across Lu Shisheng's face, "How is it possible? If there is no problem with the food and grass, the General's Office will charge the price, but if there is a problem, the General's Office will never let go of the young people who take advantage of the situation."
More than thirty Lingxiao Pavilion disciples put one hand on the hilt of their swords and looked at Wang Yuyan calmly. They only waited for her to give the order and instantly ordered the heads of these one hundred soldiers to fall to the ground.
In the end, Wang Yuyan made a vague gesture to signal everyone not to act rashly.
A dozen sergeants quickly searched the convoy, and suddenly a soldier shouted, "Master, we found something!"
"Oh? What did you find?" Lu Shisheng looked happy, "Hurry and present it!"
The soldier hurried over, holding a seal in his hand, "This was found in a sack containing grain and grass."
Lu Shisheng took the seal and looked at it. It read "Signed and deposited by the Military and Horse Division of Nanyang County, Xiangzhou".
The so-called Nanyang County Bingma Division is actually a Xiang army without a designation. The number may be less than a hundred people, because the status of the Xiang Army in the Song Dynasty is really low. It is under the control of the Bingma Division. As long as there is no designation, it is called a certain place.
Soldiers and Horses Division.
"Hahaha..." Lu Shisheng burst into laughter and threw the seal in front of Wang Yuyan, "What else do you have to say now!"
As soon as these words came out, the people watching were all shocked, "What! Isn't Nanyang County a prefecture and county near Xiangyang City? Did the Murong family rob the food and grass from Nanyang?"
"What was robbed from Nanyang? Brother, you still don't understand. It was obviously from Nanyang transporting grain and grass to Xiangyang City, but the Murong family robbed it halfway!"
"It's so shameless. I robbed Xiangyang City's food and grass and then sold it to Xiangyang City. Bah!"
Wang Yuyan had never experienced such a battle before. She panicked all of a sudden and was speechless. A disciple from Lingxiao Pavilion next to her took a smart step forward, picked up the seal and looked at it, "This seal is new, and the pen and ink are new."
You haven’t done it yet, you are making false accusations!”
The crowd suddenly fell silent and looked at Lu Shisheng suspiciously. With the methods of the General's Mansion, it was indeed possible for him to do such a thing.
Murong Fu found it more and more interesting. He didn't know whether Lu Wenhuan really had this suspicion, or whether he simply wanted to steal this batch of food and grass, so he made this false accusation.
Lu Shisheng smiled coldly, "I think you should go to the court to explain. Someone, come and capture all these thieves who are robbing the army!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison, unsheathing their swords and slowly narrowing the encirclement.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the onlookers hurriedly backed away for fear of harming the fish in the pond.
The Lingxiao Pavilion disciples were very calm and did not panic at all, quietly waiting for Wang Yuyan's order.
Wang Yuyan bit her lips subconsciously, her thoughts racing, but she couldn't think of a good solution. She was a little frustrated for a moment. Murong Xue had warned her before setting off that this mission would not be easy, and she swore to herself
If he can do it well, he will not only ruin his cousin's affairs, but he will definitely be ridiculed by Murong Xue when he sees her in the future.
The more she thought about it, the more useless she felt. She gritted her teeth and said, "Disciples, please obey orders..."
Just when she was about to give the order for the disciples to give up food and rush out of the siege, a thin voice suddenly came into her ears, "Don't resist, let them catch you, I will let Lu Wenhuan personally send you out."
"Biao..." Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up and she almost blurted out. Fortunately, she reacted in time, held it back, and changed her words, "Disciples must obey orders and must not act rashly."
"yes!"
Wang Yuyan's eyes rolled around, looking for Murong Fu everywhere, but she couldn't find him. She was a little disappointed.
Lu Shisheng gave her a strange look, "Catch her and lock her in a prison!"
The troops took ropes, tied up more than 30 people, including Wang Yuyan, and took them away in batches. Then Lu Shisheng commanded the sergeants to transport grain and grass into the Lu Mansion in a grand manner.
It wasn't until everyone was gone that Murong Fu Shiran entered the Lu Mansion, with a faint sneer flashing across his face, "Lu Wenhuan, Lu Wenhuan, I have always been the only one to steal others' share, and no one has dared to take it from me.
With this robbery, you will be sent to the guillotine..."
Returning to the small courtyard, Guo Fu was already waiting here. When she saw Murong Fu, she immediately said as if taking credit for her, "Brother Murong, I have done everything you asked me to do. Now you can tell me what happened to the Blood Shadow Palace and the Crystal Palace."
Is it okay?"
Murong Fu was still thinking about the food and fodder matter, so he had no intention of explaining to her. He immediately said angrily, "Didn't you see that the Blood Shadow Palace and the Crystal Palace are both under the influence of the Murong family?"
Guo Fu choked, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved, "I just want to know when you established two such powerful organizations. How can they know if you don't tell them anything..."
Murong Fu felt soft and took her little hand, "This is not a big deal. You are in Xiangyang. How can I tell you? By the way, I have something to ask you. Do you know the prison layout of the General's Mansion?"
Where?"
