It is only more than twenty miles from Hutoushan to Youxian County.
Jiang Zimo had Qinggong skills and walked very fast. In less than an hour, he returned to the county government office.
I found Lu Liang in the office, gave the red lady's reply to Lu Liang, and hurriedly went to Lu Fang to ask for the reward.
Lu Fang was reading in the room. When he heard the knock on the door and Jiang Zimo's shout, he stood up and walked out, "Did the letter arrive?"
Jiang Zimo rubbed his hands and said, "Hey, I'll take care of things. Don't worry, Mr. Lu."
Lu Fang was also happy and took out the banknotes from his wallet and handed them to him, "What did the red lady say?"
"No."
Jiang Zimo replied: "She just replied a letter to your brother. I have already given the letter to your brother."
Lu Fangfang nodded and asked no more questions.
In fact, even he didn't know the content of that letter.
Lu Liang obviously didn't want him to know too much about this matter, and he didn't bother to ask.
He sent Jiang Zimo away and continued to read in his room.
…
On the other end, Lu Liang hurried to Xu Fu's room with Jiang Zimo's reply.
Xu Fu is a man of few words.
Although he is the housekeeper of the Lu family, he actually does not have much presence in either the Ningyuan County Government or the Youxian County Government.
Usually, he doesn't go out much, he just shuts himself in his room, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.
As for the only entertainment activity, it was probably drinking with old men like Lao Xiao and Lao He occasionally when I was up.
Neither the unlucky guy nor Lu Fang had ever entered Xu Fu's room before.
Apart from the fact that they had no common topic, it was probably because they still had a little respect for Xu Fu deep down in their hearts. Even if they came to see Xu Fu for something, they would always knock on the door outside the house.
"Grandpa Xu."
At this moment, even Lu Liang knocked on the door first.
"Master, come in!"
It wasn't until Xu Fu's reply sounded inside that Lu Liang opened the door and walked in.
If Lu Fang saw the scene in Xu Fu's house, he would definitely be surprised.
Because Xu Fu's room was filled with books. The floor was also full of messy papers with his handwriting on them.
The interior of the house can only be described as scattered, with not even a place to sit.
This is not like Xu Fu on the surface.
On the surface, Xu Fu is an old man who is quite well-dressed.
Only Luliang seemed to be used to this.
He glanced at the scattered papers, which contained many names and other things.
After just one glance, he looked back. Then he took out the red lady's reply letter from his arms and said, "The red lady's reply has arrived."
Then he handed the letter to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu's identity is already revealed.
He was the one who wrote the letter to the Red Lady, the former Grand Master, Xu Jingnian.
As for this reply, even Lu Liang had not opened it and read it.
Xu Fu opened the letter, but he did not turn his head to look at it.
moment.
No changes could be seen on Xu Fu's face.
He just said: "I will come back to see the young master later!"
"good."
Lu Liang nodded and walked outside the house obediently.
Silence returned to the house.
Xu Fu sat in front of his desk and murmured: "Zhang Zhihe... It's not in vain that I recommended you to the Holy One."
Another moment passed.
Xu Fu got up and left the house and went to Lu Liang's office to find Lu Liang.
After sitting down in the house, he said: "The Red Lady said that recently they will rob and rob the bandits. This will arouse the dissatisfaction of the people of You County against you."
Lu Liang frowned slightly, "Aren't the people of You County suffering from disasters like this?"
"They will not harm these people."
Xu Fu added: "But we still have to find a way to break up the other groups of bandits besides them. She wants to gather the remnants of those bandits to expand their strength."
"hiss……"
Lu Liang's eyes narrowed, "Grandpa Xu, what is the identity of this red lady?"
Xu Fu chuckled, "Ye Hongluo, after a certain general in Xiguang County. Master, why don't you take a guess?"
"Xiguang County...surname is Ye?"
Lu Liang frowned and thought for a moment, "Could she be the daughter of Ye Hao, the commander of the Jianwu Army?"
Xu Fu nodded, "Exactly."
Lu Liang asked again: "What about her teacher..."
Xu Fudao: "Xiguang County Jiedushi Zhang Zhihe."
As he said that, he laughed softly again, "I have been lurking for so many years, but there is still no news about him. I knew that he would not die so easily."
Lu Liang nodded, "Then should we get in touch with him?"
"No need for now."
Xu Fu shook his head and said: "Ye Hongluo has already replied in the letter. After the heroes of Xiguang County were dispersed by Liang Shi, they are now secretly accumulating strength. We do not have military power at this time. If we contact them, we may
If the news leaks out, it is better to let them continue to accumulate strength, and when the time is right, you can recruit them in your name, and they will definitely respond."
Lu Liang nodded again, "It's all up to you."
Xu Fu said: "Then young master, please go and give instructions to the young master. Except for Ye Hongluo's group, all the other mountain bandits will not be left behind."
Then he added: "Ye Hongluo will leave You County after gathering their remaining troops."
"good."
Lu Liang agreed.
Xu Fu didn't know what suddenly occurred to him, so he added, "The little girl Ye Hongluo looks a bit like her father, like a general."
Lu Liang was stunned and did not answer.
…
evening.
After everyone had dinner in the dining hall, Lu Liang asked Lu Fang to go for a walk.
The two brothers walked around the county government office as if they were taking a leisurely stroll.
Lu Liang said: "The red lady replied to the letter saying that in the next few days, the bandits will be plundering everywhere in You County."
Lu Fang tilted his head and looked at him, "What then?"
Lu Liang continued: "Ye... Lady Hong's idea is for us to find ways to disperse the remaining groups of bandits, but we don't have to kill them all. She wants to gather their remnants to expand their strength and then leave You County."
Lu Fang shrugged and said, "Is she really a former member of the court and a righteous person?"
"Absolutely true."
Lu Liang nodded.
"But how to exterminate those bandits is also a problem!"
Lu Fang frowned and said.
Unexpectedly, Lu Liang actually laughed and said, "You are always in charge of suppressing bandits. What to do next is up to you."
Lu Fang was a little annoyed, "You really want to be the hands-off shopkeeper!"
Lu Liang chuckled and said, "Who made you my brother? Besides, aren't Yu Bei close to you now? My words may not be of any use to you."
Lu Fang could only shake his head helplessly.
Except for the Red Lady, the other four groups of bandits are not much weaker now. How easy is it to exterminate them?
More importantly, letting Yu Bei pretend to be sick can only be used once.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, let Han Feihong lead his troops to suppress the bandits. Regardless of success or failure, Yu Bei probably would not give him a second chance to send troops.
After all, he still had to answer to Yang Mao.
In other words, it is best to catch them all in one go.
Otherwise, Yang Mao will definitely come out to cause trouble again. If there is another person... I don't know how long the suppression of bandits will have to be delayed.
And not everyone may be as easy to "recruit" as Yu Bei.
Of course, Lu Fang also knew the purpose of Red Lady and others in plundering You County.
Arouse public anger.
If the county government can hold on, can the people hold on?
It will also be troublesome if too many people show up to ask the county government to stop suppressing bandits.
As for the new recruits...
I don’t know if it would make me pee my pants if I were actually dragged to the battlefield.
