"You old bastard, no wonder you still have the idea of ​​giving me good food, drink, fun, and giving you gifts. I'll kill you!" Man Gui became angry when he heard this. He pulled out his knife and wanted to kill Sun Damao, that old bastard.

"Forget it! The investigation of the case is based on the envoy's duty. Two hundred people were sent to escort a group of prisoners to Jinan for Lu Xiangsheng. We want to see whether Mr. Lu's surname is Jiang or Wang."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Lu Xiangsheng's surname is Lu, why is his surname Jiang's surname Wang?" Man Gui saw that Li Xiao was talking nonsense and did not bother to kill Sun Damao. He was afraid that Li Xiao was crazy.

"Master Man, you don't understand. This is just a joke. This Xing'er is here to serve me." "Is this idiot's surname Jiang or Wang...!" Li Xiao hummed the joke.

As soon as they left the woodshed, Xing'er followed Li Xiao like a puppy.

Li Xiao knew what kind of place the prison was. If Xing'er entered the prison at such a flowery age, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. It would be better to let her stay with him!

"Damn it, your old boy is lucky!" Man Gui pointed at Sun Damao and spat, sheathing his sword and following him out. Several guards rushed over and tied up Sun Damao with several ropes.

Like rice dumplings, they got a few carriages and packed the Sun family into them, preparing to send them to Jinan Prefecture overnight.

Man Gui caught up with Li Xiao and was relieved when he saw that there was nothing wrong with Li Xiao. "Why do you have to go to Jinan to teach people to Lu Xiangsheng? Just cut them off here and it's over!" As for Li Xiao sending people to Jinan

Man Ye felt that this kind of behavior was definitely like taking off his pants and farting. He had to go back and escort these bastards with his two hundred soldiers.

"I said Master Man, you just don't understand. The purpose of sending him back to Jinan Mansion is to see where Lu Xiangsheng is sitting. If he severely punishes the Sun family masters in accordance with the "Ming Dynasty Law", what can you say about the capital?

Can that kid inside let him go?

The relationship in the Hanlin Academy is the most complicated, and a lot of people can be attracted by one move in the same year. If the Sun family boy is not bad at popularity, there must be someone in the capital to put pressure on Lu Xiang.

I just want to see if Lu Xiangsheng will take the pressure and sentence Mr. Sun to death. If he is sentenced, he will be able to wear a pair of trousers with us in the future. If he is sentenced lightly, it means that he has money with the court.

Those bastards in Qianyi wear a pair of trousers. I don’t need to tell you how to deal with him...! If it is really necessary, it is not impossible to do Chen Hongshou’s thing again. I don’t believe that this bastard will not have a fox tail. "

"Damn it! I haven't seen you read many books, why are there so many twists and turns in your stomach. I am a murderer. You should stay away from that old guy Sun Chengzong in the future. I feel that the more you learn from him, the more you learn from him.

It's getting more and more sinister." Man Gui doesn't like these intrigues. This Mongolian man is a senior straight male cancer patient. Fighting on the battlefield without any scruples is what he is most happy to do.

"Hey...! Who doesn't want to live a simpler life, but reality doesn't allow it! Let's go to Yanzhou overnight. Didn't I tell you that if King Lu doesn't arrive at Touqi, he will be impeached."

Li Xiao led a large group of people and rushed to Yanzhou. The old man in the Sun family had just died, and now all the men were taken away. The wailing of the female family members became louder, and some servants took advantage of the master's

The man in the family was not around, so he found some valuable things and quickly escaped.

There are also some tough guys who have set their sights on the wailing orphans and widows...!

Hurrying along the way, Li Xiao finally arrived in Yanzhou on the first seventh day of King Lu!

The place name Yanzhou first appeared in the pre-Qin work "Shang Shu Yu Gong". It is said that after Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods, he divided the world into nine states, and Yanzhou was one of them. "Yu Gong" is the standard for the tribute of various states to the imperial court. It is the most common

What is accepted by people is that Yu the Great established the Nine Provinces.

The word "Yan" in Yanzhou comes from Yanshui. Yanshui, also known as Jishui, originated from Wangwu Mountain in Jiyuan County, Henan Province today. Jishui is divided into two parts: the southern part of the Yellow River and the northern part of the Yellow River. Later, due to changes in the water system, the south of the Yellow River

Nowadays, there is no Jishui. The character Yan for Yanshui was written as "" in ancient times. In Xiaozhuan, "Sandianshui" can sometimes be written as "Hengshui" and placed above the character "Yun". Later, it evolved from seal script to official script.

At that time, "Hengshui" became "Liu", thus becoming today's "Yan" character.

Yanzhou is located in the southwest of Shandong Province, adjacent to Ningyang to the north, Wenshang to the west, Zoucheng to the south and Rencheng to the west, and adjacent to Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, across the Si River to the east. More than 2,000 years ago, Confucius and Mencius once gave lectures here.

During the Tang Dynasty, the "immortal of poetry" Li Bai once lived here. Therefore, it is said that it is the hometown of the two saints and a place where culture and culture gather.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang named his son Zhu Tan, who loved organic chemistry, the King of Lu. At the same time, he made Yanzhou his fief. Mr. Zhu Tan was really a pioneer who was keen to devote himself to science.

Chemical products...die!

However, his only son, King Zhu Zhaohui of Lu Jing, reigned for sixty-four years, and his descendants were prosperous. The King of Lu, Zhu Shouyong, who had just died, was Zhu Tan's eighth generation grandson.

Perhaps it is because the prince lives here, and the city wall of Yanzhou Prefecture is very tall. It is at least two or three feet high. A flag with black characters on a red background has been hung for who knows how many years. The flag has faded and is hanging on the flagpole.

Hanging, only an occasional breeze can stretch the flag a little.

Not a single soldier could be seen on the city wall, but there were five or six soldiers and three or four officers at the city gate. In addition to checking the people entering and leaving the city, they also collected the entrance tax for passing through the city.

Li Xiao stroked his forehead helplessly. As far as he knew, there was a guard station here. There were at least two thousand registered military households in Yanzhou Prefecture, which meant that there should be at least two thousand soldiers. There were three or two kittens at the door now, which was enough.

This shows that the health system here has collapsed.

If rogue bandits like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong come over, Li Xiao thinks that with Yanzhou City's defense situation, it can only last for half an hour at most. It's not that Yanzhou Prefecture officers and soldiers can kill for half an hour, but they march from the suburbs to the government office.

It's probably only half an hour.

Seeing a group of soldiers with bright armor suddenly coming on the road, chaos broke out at the city gate. The soldiers threw away their weapons and ran away, while the officers ran into the city in a panic, ignoring the people who were running around.

Li Xiao was so angry that his nose was smoking. When he saw the army coming, wouldn't he close the city gate immediately? If he expected these idiots to fight, then the Ming Dynasty would have no choice but to perish.

The large group of people were wearing bright armor and entered Yanzhou City without any obstacles. They caught a young man running around and asked him to lead the way to the Yanzhou government office. The gate of the government office was closed tightly, and not a single officer could be seen at the door.

Li Xiao was so angry that his mother's city gate was not closed, but the gate of this government office was closed tightly, which was useless to his mother.

A soldier got off his horse, walked to the door of the government office and started kicking the door.

No one opened the door, and there was no one on the whole street. The entire Yanzhou City was deathly silent. Li Xiao never imagined that he would see such a scene when he arrived in Yanzhou City.

The soldiers climbed over the wall on a ladder and entered the Yanzhou government office. When Li Xiao walked through the gate, he found that there was no one in the government office except two old guards.

"Where are your palace masters?" Li Xiao glanced at him, and the old guard who was shaking all over was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me!" The other old guard was pretty good, at least he could say a few words.

"What king? This is Mr. Li, the governor of Shandong. Let your master come out and answer!" Shunzi stood up and shouted to the two old officers.

"Sir Governor? Aren't you the thieves from Liangshanbo?" The old guard suddenly stopped shaking, and Li Xiao's nose almost twisted with anger. I am a dignified governor of Shandong, but he is not as deterrent as the thieves from Liangshanbo.

"Nonsense, have you seen the thieves attacking the city in broad daylight? Let Yanzhou Prefecture Yin Jishan come out!"

"No!" The old guard kowtowed, and then ran desperately into the back house. He was afraid that by this time, the master of the mansion had tied the hanging rope and was waiting to hang himself from the southeast branch.

Not long after the old officer left, a sixth-grade civil servant in green official attire ran out. He saluted Li Xiao: "I didn't know that the governor was coming, and I didn't come to Xiaguan to greet you. Please forgive me, the governor."

"Are you Yin Jishan?" Li Xiao walked around Yin Jishan twice. This guy was very short, only about 1.6 meters tall. He also looked very thin. He was wearing official uniform and wandering around, as if he was wearing someone else's.

Official uniforms. Most of the officials Li Xiao saw were fat men with red faces and some fat in their bellies. It is indeed rare for such a thin official to be the highest official in a dignified government.

"The official is Yin Jishan!" Yin Jishan's skin is very dark. People with dark skin will look very ugly no matter how sweaty they are. I don't know how this guy passed the imperial examination!

"I said to Yin Jishan, you have managed the Yanzhou Prefecture well. I am a dignified governor, but when I entered your Yanzhou City, I was treated as a bandit. How can it be said that the bandits in Liangshanbo are so rampant? In broad daylight, they actually dare to

Attack the capital city?"

"Master Governor, you don't know that these water thieves in Liangshanbo are not ordinary water thieves. They are the men of the traitor Chen Hailong. Chen Hailong died in Jinan. But his gang members are all over Shandong. The fierce ones who escaped from Shandong by chance

The bandits united with other bandits in Shandong and fled south along the official road.

Until this eight hundred miles of water, there is a mountain in the center of the water called Liangshan. Originally, there was a wave of water bandits here, who occupied the mountain and became king. Chen Hailong's men came and killed the leader of Liangshan, so as to support the king of the tower...

…!”

Listening to Yin Jishan's words, Li Xiao felt like there was an echo in his ears. The King of Tota has come out, how can he be so expressive?

"Isn't this King of Pagoda's surname Chao Gai?" Li Xiao heard this and felt that Yin Jishan was telling him a story.

"Replying to your lord, the King of Tota, whose surname is Chen, is called Chen Jiao. It is said that he is very good at water. He can catch fish with his eyes open under water. He took the name of King of Tota. I think it was because he was inspired by the book "Water Margin".

"Influence. So...!"

I understand, I am a passionate fan of Water Margin.

"Okay! Let's talk about the matter of King Tota later. Now you take me to Prince Lu's Mansion. I want to pay homage to His Highness King Lu!" Li Xiao didn't have time to talk to this bastard. Let's get down to business first. This Tota

It would be more appropriate for the King of Heaven to wait for Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to resolve the issue.

"No!" Since it was not the water bandits who entered the city, Yin Jishan was not so scared. He was so scared to death just now that the water bandits actually entered the city. His whole family could not recover!

While ordering people to prepare rooms for Li Xiao's men and preparing to settle the governor's personal soldiers, he took Li Xiao straight to Prince Lu's Mansion!

King Lu has been in Yanzhou for more than 200 years. During these 200 years, the number of Lu princes and descendants has grown to thousands. It is said that when the emperor ascended the throne last year, he was awarded a reward for the blood of Taizu. Only after this investigation did he find out that the 200-year-old Zhu family

Over the years, more than 200,000 people have been produced.

This damn family is not a family, this damn family is a bunch of rats.

But when I think about it, I understand that I have no freedom to live in the city all day long. I can't do other jobs and can only stay at home. In addition, there are not many entertainment activities in these days, so having children has become something that the Zhu family likes to see.

Amateur activities. It is said that when the King of Zhou celebrated his eightieth birthday, he sent a special memorial to the court, asking the emperor to send people from the Ministry of Rites to come to the house to count the population.

The old man really couldn't figure out who the more than 200 grandchildren belonged to whose family.

Thinking about it taking more than 200 years for Prince Lu's palace to breed thousands of people, it is really an unfilial act.

Li Xiao rode his horse to the gate of Prince Lu's Mansion and still had to wait a hundred steps before he got off his horse. He was not domineering at this time. His family was dead, so at least he could give him some face at this time. After all, he was a relative of the emperor's family!

Li Xiao is the governor of Shandong appointed by the emperor. He is holding the Shang Fang Sword that the emperor specially approved for me to visit in person. When he walked to the door of Prince Lu's Mansion, the middle door of Prince Lu's Mansion opened. A guy in his thirties or forties, slightly fat, walked out

He came out and cupped his hands towards Li Xiao.

"This is His Royal Highness Zhu Yihuang, the Crown Prince of Lu!" Yin Jishan reminded Li Xiao that his voice was as low as a mosquito. It's not his fault. The other person is the Crown Prince of Lu. According to etiquette, you shouldn't call people by their names directly. However,

If you say something quietly so that no one else can hear you, you don't belong in this category.

"Li Xiao, the governor of Shandong, was ordered to pay homage to His Royal Highness King Lu." Li Xiao held Shang Fang's sword in his hand, and did not salute Zhu Yihuang, but only raised his hand.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Yihuang, kowtows to thank God for his kindness!" Zhu Yihuang knelt down to the Shang Fang sword in Li Xiao's hand. Although he was the crown prince of Lu, he was not King of Lu until the imperial edict was issued. Therefore, he

You cannot be called an orphan, you can only be called a subject.

"Your Majesty, please get up and take me to pay homage to His Highness King Lu."

"No! Governor, please come this way!" Zhu Yihuang led Li Xiao into Prince Lu's Mansion through the middle door.
Chapter completed!
