Zhang Xiu and his party came to Luyang County smoothly. He was not in a hurry to identify himself. He only said that he was Lu GUI's distant relative and came to join him.

The Yamen guard at the gate heard the speech, but did not delay, and immediately entered to report.

Zhang Xiu did so to avoid leaking information.

He made his identity clear and was likely to let people know that he was coming.

After a while, the Yamen came back.

The Yamen servant looked at Zhang Xiu and hummed: "the county master said that during this period, there are many distant relatives who have come to join us."

"A lot of people are fake."

"Anyone who pretends to be a relative will be reprimanded by the county and then expelled."

"You say you're a distant relative of Xian Zun. Once you see Xian Zun and he's torn down by Xian Zun, you can't afford to go away. If you really want to go to relatives on purpose and leave early, Xian Zun will not embarrass you. "

Yamen said: "if you insist on going to see xianzun, you should consider the consequences clearly."

"Thank you very much."

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered.

He has met Lu GUI. When he sees Lu GUI, he will be recognized by the other party.

The Yamen servant didn't say much. He waved his hand and said, "now that you have a clear idea, just go in. Just go straight through the door. Xian Zun is dealing with government affairs in the hall. If you go, you'll see it. "

Zhang Xiu said thanks and took Gan Ning and Pang Tong to enter.

A group of three came out of the hall.

Zhang Xiu looked at the layout of the County Hall, simple and generous, but also quite style. He stepped into the hall. Only when Zhang Xiu entered, Lu guizheng was working hard to deal with the government affairs presented.

Lu GUI is in his early 40s and looks ordinary.

At a glance, it's hard to find Lu GUI in the crowd, but Lu GUI has the ability to manage Luyang County in an orderly way.

When Zhang Xiu entered, Lu GUI heard the sound of footsteps and said without raising his head: "since it's here, just sit for a while. I'll talk about it when I've finished my work. It's so annoying that people come to identify their relatives every so often

He still didn't look up.

Ganning step forward, ready to remind Lu GUI, but Zhang Xiu waved to stop.

Zhang Xiu took a seat directly.

Pang Tong and Gan Ning also sat down and waited quietly.

After a quarter of an hour, Lu Guicai put down his pen and looked up at his so-called relatives. Just when he saw the moment, his heart thumped.

Zhang Xiu!

It's his boss!

Lu GUI rubbed and stood up, his face a little uneasy, quickly arched his hand salute, nervously said: "how did the general come to Luyang county? Let the general wait for such a long time, the next officer is guilty, please punish him. "

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "you don't have to. You don't know it's my official."

Zhang Xiu is very appreciative of Lu GUI.

Even if Lu GUI didn't receive her at the first time, Zhang Xiu didn't care.

"Hoo

Lu Guichang breathed a sigh of relief, his heart set, asked: "the general went north to Luyang County, but for the sake of Lushan?"

"Yes

Zhang Xiu did not hesitate to answer.

Upon hearing this, Lu GUI went directly to the bookshelf, took out a pile of bamboo slips and put them in front of Zhang Xiu. He solemnly said, "General Zhang, the details of Lushan are here. Including who bought Lushan, when, and what actions they took in Lushan, the lower officials have found out and put them all on record. "

Zhang Xiu eyebrows up, some surprised: "are you clear?"

"Yes

Lu GUI replied: "Huang Zhao led his troops to Lushan. When he was defeated, he retreated. His lower officials knew that Lushan was definitely in good condition. But Huang Zhao's 1000 elite soldiers have all been defeated. The strength of Luyang county is definitely unable to resist the other side. "

"So, I don't know."

"I didn't send someone to interfere in Lushan's affairs. I just sent someone to investigate the situation quietly."

"I know that after Huang Zhao's defeat, general Zhang will certainly deal with it. Even if general Zhang doesn't come, he will send someone. Therefore, these materials have been prepared in advance for easy access. "

Lu GUI's answer is neither humble nor overbearing.

It's also very organized.

This arrangement saves a lot of things for Zhang Xiu, and makes her avoid many detours.

"Well done!"

Zhang Xiu's face also showed a touch of praise.

Lugui does have the ability.

Zhang Xiu picked up the bamboo slips and quickly browsed them.

Today's Lushan is in the hands of Cao lie, and large areas around Lushan have been acquired by Cao lie in the near future. All land transfer, Lu GUI are clear.

Cao lie is a businessman in Luyang county.

But Lu GUI did not find out the details of Cao lie when he investigated Cao lie's followers.

After reading it quickly, Zhang Xiu asked: "Lu GUI, when did Cao lie do business in Luyang county?"

Lu GUI thought about it and replied, "it was in the second half of last year. I forgot my humble position and couldn't find out why. After all, before that, Cao lie was not outstanding, and he did not enter the eyes of the lower officials. ""It was this time that something happened on Lushan Mountain, and the lower officials noticed Cao lie."

"According to the situation at that time, thousands of savages defeated Huang Zhao. However, in Luyang County, no savages have appeared for many years. Now there are savages, most likely Cao lie's men and horses. "

"When I sent someone to investigate the situation of Lushan Mountain, Cao lie had already encircled it, so it was difficult for anyone to get in and out. I can't scare the snake, and I can't go there openly. "

"At the moment, we can only get so much information," Lu said

Zhang Xiuyan said, "where are the Cao Lieren?"

Lu GUI said: "Cao lie is not in Lushan, but in the county all the time."

Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed a fine light and said: "if so, please invite Cao lie to the county government first. Take Cao lie down first, and then deal with the situation of Lushan after being put on trial. "

"Here it is

Lu GUI nods and answers.

After a pause, Lu GUI said: "it's just the last time. I don't know if Cao lie will be on guard. I'll see if he comes or not. "

Zhang Xiu looked determined and said, "I went north to Luyang county. I have hidden my whereabouts. As long as Cao lie hasn't heard from me, he's sure that you will come if you don't dare to do anything with him. "

Lu GUI said: "I'll arrange a messenger."

Immediately, Lu GUI called for the Yamen servant, and arranged for someone to go to Cao lie's residence and inform Cao lie to come to the county yamen.

Cao lie's residence is in the east of the city.

Its house covers an area of nearly 20 mu, which is quite grand.

In the backyard, in the study.

Cao lie is checking the data at the moment. The data he checks is the anthracite mined every day.

When Cao lie was in business in Luyang County before, he was mainly engaged in grain cloth business, and did not find the use of anthracite. And as we all know, black stone burns, has a pungent smell, but also with toxicity, no one dares to use.

By chance, Cao lie met a common man who sold anthracite. After he bought it and tried it, he found a business opportunity.

So, Cao lie began to operate.

he bought the Lushan Mountain and took all the surrounding land, then mobilized all the private soldiers, hiding in Lushan Mountain, and began to arrange the large quantities of anthracite for the people's Congress.

Cao lie has not sold anthracite yet.

Because, inventory is insufficient.

His plan is to mine enough anthracite, publicize it uniformly, and sell it on a large scale to make profits.

After checking, Cao lie frowned and said, "it's getting colder and colder, but the speed of digging black stone is too slow. It seems that we have to expand the scale and recruit more people to dig. Otherwise, I won't have much time to operate. "

He put down his brush and thought about the next arrangement.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, from outside the room.

Then, with a creak, the door was pulled back. The housekeeper came in and said, "my Lord, the county magistrate is here. The magistrate of Lu County asked you to come."

Cao lie had an alert look in his eyes and immediately asked, "what's the matter?"

The housekeeper said, "no!"

Cao lie's heart, however, was open, thinking about the reason why Lu GUI asked him.

The housekeeper knew the cause and effect, and knew more about the war with Huang Zhao. He said in a deep voice: "master, since you defeated Huang Zhao, the Minister of Zhang Xiu in Lushan, Lu GUI has been paying attention to Lushan. During this time, he kept investigating. It seems that I have found out what I want to see you about. "

Cao lie snorted and said, "I'm in business in Luyang county. I never violate the law and discipline. I always do things according to the law. The last time Huang Zhao was defeated, they broke into Lushan without permission. If I hadn't thought about Zhang Xiu, I would have killed Huang Zhao long ago to prevent future trouble. "

Guan said: "will it be that Zhang Xiu sent an order to Lu GUI to let him deal with things?"

Cao lie chuckled and said, "it doesn't matter whether it is or not. Because I abide by the law, Lu GUI has no evidence in hand, so I can't help it. "

"Master is wise," said the manager

Cao lie stood up, put on his fur robe, went out of Cao's house, took a carriage and went straight to the county government.

The carriage stopped outside the county government.

Cao lie got out of the carriage and went straight to the hall of the county government.
