I’m The King Chapter 118: : In the shadows

The mighty convoy headed for the prefect's mansion amidst the soldiers brought by Huang Desheng. On both sides of the street, the people in Liaoxi City gathered more and more. Not only so many war horses gathered together, it was rare See, more people came to see the captured Hutu chief Ratobe.

The patriarch of a tribe is roughly equivalent to the owner of Liaoxi City. The prefect Zhang Shouyue, many people secretly speculate about this gray-haired old man who is imprisoned in a cage and wears heavy shackles. For more than ten years, this was the first time that an important person from the Eastern Hu fell into the hands of the Dayan people. The two families had been enemies for a long time. The Eastern Hu people and the Liaoxi people really did not have the slightest favor. I don't know who started it, a Chinese cabbage flew up from the crowd, hit the cage, and broke into pieces, the broken leaves of the cabbage fell from the cage and landed on Latobe's head, He raised his head in a daze and looked outside.

"Smash this Donghu dog to death!" Shouts erupted from the crowd, and with a shout, countless vegetable leaves, eggs, dirt and even pebbles flew towards the cage like raindrops.

Huang Desheng didn't see it well. If La Trobe was killed, the matter would be difficult. With an order, the soldiers rushed up and surrounded the cage tightly. The soldiers also became nervous, and immediately set up a cordon along both sides of the street, separating the angry people from the periphery.

Seeing Huang Desheng's soldiers respond quickly, Gao Yuan admired this Uncle Huang with scars all over his face. His soldiers were well led!

Amid the cheers and anger of the crowd, the huge convoy crossed the street, going further and further.

On the street, on the top floor of a three-storey restaurant, two people stood in front of the window with gloomy faces, watching the convoy. , an old man in a luxurious silk robe.

"Why didn't you let this La Trobe do it on the way?" The old man stood in front of Linghu Dan with his hands behind his back, and asked in a deep voice, but there was no trace of politeness in his tone.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to do it, I also sent people, but it's really hard to get it. This Lu Hong is a treacherous man, and his nephew Gao Yuan's soldiers are thieves. They tried to get close to him several times. , almost lost the wind, and finally had no choice but to give up." Linghu Dan's face was full of frustration. "Who would have thought that this La Trobe is so useless. The four hundred cavalry were defeated by Lu Hong, and he was captured alive. Uncle, my nephew did not consider this accident."

"Didn't think about it?" The old man gave him a sarcastic look, "Ah Dan, speaking of which, you are also an important general of my Linghu family, and you didn't consider other possibilities when you acted? Prepare for the worst, just in case, now that such a big mistake has happened, and you need your family to wipe your ass, you have disappointed the Prime Minister."

"I hope that uncle will speak well in front of the Prime Minister!" Linghu Dan showed a disturbed expression on his face. Looking out of the window, the angry crowd was attacking La Trobe in the cage, and he couldn't help showing a look of complacency on his face, "It's best to kill him!" He said fiercely.

"No one else is a fool!" The old man said coldly, "If you catch La Trobe, you will have a handle on our Linghu family. It is certain that this will threaten us."

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Linghu Dan had a panicked look on his face.

"What should I do? La Trobe has no choice. The Prime Minister of the State has already thought of another way. He has sent eight hundred miles to see King Donghu urgently, asking King Dong Hu to take La Trobe back no matter what. , if King Donghu came forward, Zhang Shouyue would definitely have to sell his face."

"Even if Zhang Shouyue lets La Trobe go, he will definitely get what he wants." Linghu Dan sat down dejectedly.

"If the person is gone, how useful is a confession? It's okay to deal with others, but it's not very powerful against us." The old man said disapprovingly: "But there is one more thing, have you thought about it?"

"Uncle, what else is there?"

"You idiot!" The old man said angrily, "Latrobe's problem has been solved, what about another person?"

"Huo Zhu?" Linghu Dan jumped up suddenly.

"Huo Zhu!" The old man nodded emphatically, "What are you doing for food? The people who were sent to help Huo Zhu break the city should have made Huo Zhu disappear as soon as they saw the failure of the operation. It can be said that Huo Zhu died in a fierce battle when Donghu broke the city. Not only did it erase this stain, but it could also add some light to my Linghu family. Fortunately, you let him return to Liaoxi with your people Cheng, at this moment, it's too late to get rid of it, and you actually grabbed a pile of **** and paste it in your trousers, are you afraid that the Prime Minister of the country is not enough trouble?"

Cold sweat dripped down Linghu Dan's face, and his uncle Linghu Qingyuan, who was always known for his elegance and demeanor, actually burst out with foul language. It was obvious that the other party was hiding an angry heart under his calm appearance, which made him feel angry. With Hu Qingyuan like this, one can imagine the attitude of the prime minister.

"The nephew is thinking that Huo Zhu has made a lot of contributions to our Linghu family over the years. He always has the heart to cross the river and tear down the bridge. That's all." Linghu Dan said in a low voice.

Linghu Qingyuan laughed heartily, looked at Linghu Dan, and shook his head again and again, "I really don't know how you got the favor of the Prime Minister of the country, let you control the most important economic lifeline of the family, Linghu Dan, if something happens, not to mention Huo Zhu, even you, you have to sacrifice for the family without hesitation, it's really ridiculous to think about this."

Linghu was stunned for a while, "My nephew understands, I'll go down and make arrangements immediately."

"As soon as possible, Lu Hong has already entered the city, and tomorrow will be the latest, and they will take Huo Zhu and his son. Once they are caught, it will be corroborated with La Trobe's confession. La Trobe's confession is not to be feared. Heh heh, a barbarian with an Eastern Hu intends to drive a wedge between my important officials of Dayan. His sinister intentions can be seen. It is best to encourage that Zhang to keep his promise and kill La Trobe with a knife. When the time comes when King Donghu sends someone to redeem La Trobe, this guy will already be a dead body, and King Donghu must be very unhappy at that time, so it would be a good idea to give Zhang Shouyue some eye drops." Linghu Qingyuan narrowed his eyes. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"Nephew, let's do it!"

"Go, go, don't make any mistakes this time."

Looking at the back of Linghu Dan leaving in a hurry, Linghu Qingyuan sat down leisurely, picked up the wine glass on the table, and took a sip gently, "Good wine, compared to the wine bestowed by the palace." It’s much better, and it’s worthwhile to come all the way to Liaoxi City this time.” He sipped and drank slowly with great interest, although this matter was a bit troublesome for him, it was not enough He is at a loss, even if he has reached the worst step, what can he do, Zhang Shouyue still wants to turn against the Prime Minister of the country, but in the end it is just hello, me, hello, everyone. It's just to get Linghu Dan back and never let him out again.

In the prefect's mansion, all the material handovers have been completed. Of course, this is only on the surface, and some things are not on the table. Zhang Shouyue sent out all the irrelevant people, and Lian Huang Desheng When the general also received the order and was sent out, only Zhang Shouyue and Lu Honghe were left in the hall.

Until this time, Lu Hong took out another list from his pocket, which contained Zhang Shouyue's first quarter dividends and three boxes of the six boxes of goods donated by Gao Yuan. After reading the numbers on the list, although Zhang Shouyue had been prepared in his heart, he was still taken aback. The huge profit was far beyond his expectation.

"A profit of nearly 30,000 yuan in the first quarter?" He looked at Lu Hong and asked in surprise.

Lu Hong bowed and said: "Yes, this is because we have just started to distribute goods in other counties, and more or less, overtly or secretly, we will encounter resistance and sabotage from some local forces. I believe the income will be more impressive."

Zhang Shouyue was very excited. In the first quarter, he got nearly 30,000 guan, and after one year, he got 120,000 guan. This money is more than enough for him to build an army of 3,000 people~IndoMTL. com~ With enough strength in hand, I am not afraid that the Dayan court will not entrust Liaoxi County to him.

Shaking the list in his hand, "What are these goods?"

Although he knew that the other party was asking the question out of the blue, Lu Hong still replied seriously: "The old Hutu camp was taken down, and this was copied from them. There are twelve boxes in total, but this time it is in cooperation with the Hutus." , They dispatched more than 200 cavalry, and half of them were divided. We got a total of six boxes, three of which were left in Fufeng. This time, Fufeng City was destroyed, and many families were destroyed. The amount of money is used to do exactly this.”

"En!" Zhang Shouyue nodded, fighting, especially after winning such a war of raiding the family and destroying the clan, there must be a lot of floating wealth. As for how much the people below swallowed, he didn't care, anyway, this battle , I didn't put much effort into it, and it's not bad to be able to take part of it to honor myself, but if I don't have a penny, what can I do? Lu Hong was considered extremely loyal, judging from the number on the list, the value of these three boxes of goods was at least over 100,000 guan, and he was extremely satisfied.

"Lu Hong, I have always been very reassuring when you do things. I must have revealed it to you in victory. This time I am going to prepare for the formation of the former army and transfer you to be the former army commander. Are you willing?" Zhang Shou Yue put down the list in his hand and asked.

"It's a great honor for this subordinate to return to serve in front of the prefect again!" Lu Hong's voice was full of excitement. To be a general in the army led by the prefect is naturally not a county lieutenant. It can be compared, not to mention that now that Fufeng has Gaoyuan, Lu Hong feels that he has nothing to do with him, and he is very at ease with him.
