Jinan is located in the hinterland of Shandong Province, bordering Mount Tai in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The terrain is higher in the south and lower in the north. Due to the topography and geological structure, there are many underground springs here, so it is called the Spring City. It has always been known as "lotus on four sides, willows on three sides, one city with mountains"

It has the reputation of "Sebancheng Lake".

Jinan is the administrative seat of Shandong Province. The city is high and the walls are thick, and all four gates are built with urns, which is extremely strong. There is a lake about five miles northeast of the city called Daming Lake, with an area of ​​nearly 60 hectares. The lake is vast and has blue waves.

The scenery is rippling, green willows are like smoke, and the scenery is excellent.

There are many small islands in Daming Lake and the scenery is beautiful. It was originally a good place for local people in Jinan to travel on weekdays. However, since Luo Xiang, the eunuch of Shandong Province, built a water village on the small islands in the lake, those ferocious fans have been driving small boats in the lake every day.

After cruising around and driving away the people who came to play, Daming Lake gradually became deserted, as if it had become Eunuch Luo's private lake.

That's not all. Luo Xiang also took advantage of the fertile land by Daming Lake. Not to mention ordinary people, even the landlords and gentry who had their land occupied dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, because there were a few "dare to speak out"

"The family has been ruined. Luo Xiang is a provincial garrison official. He has thousands of livestock under his command. Who dares to touch him?"

I don’t know whether he was greedy for the scenery of Daming Lake or worried about being retaliated for doing too much evil, so Eunuch Luo built a water village on a small island in Daming Lake and used it as a residence. He lived on the island for a long time and had to punt when going in and out.

.

The small island where the water village is located covers an area of ​​about several thousand square meters. It has simple fortifications. The island is planted with weeping willows and tea trees. There are a series of houses covered by green trees. In the middle is a garden-style building built with blue bricks and glazed glass.

At first glance, you can tell that the building was expensive. Luo Xiang, the eunuch of Shandong Province, lived in this mansion, and the surrounding houses were provided for his subordinates to live in.

At this time, the stove was burning in the study, using fine smokeless Beijing charcoal, and the golden toad beast on the table was spitting out curls of sandalwood. The guarding eunuch Luo Xiang was sitting next to the coffee table, and a young eunuch was using

Make tea with water from Baotu Spring.

Eunuch Luo was wearing a warm fox fur coat. His right index finger and thumb habitually turned the jasper plate on his left thumb, and he looked out the window in concentration, looking a little absent-minded.

When passing by Feicheng that day, Luo Xiang was going to kill Ma Ronger and her son, but a group of horse thieves ran out and kidnapped Ma Ronger. Luo Xiang was shocked and angry, and immediately dispatched three thousand Tai'an guards to encircle and suppress Ma Shan.

, wanted to snatch Ma Ronger back to avoid future troubles, but at this time Wang Tang revolted in Yanshen Town and quickly occupied Tai'an Prefecture City.

Tai'an Prefecture City is only a few dozen miles away from Feicheng. Luo Xiang was afraid that Wang Tang would attack, so he hurried back to the Jinan garrison and secretly sent people to find out the news. When he learned that Xu Jin later sent people to encircle Mashan, Luo Eunuch

His heart was also raised. He vaguely guessed Xu Jin's purpose. He should have found out the news about Ma Rong'er and her son. After all, with Jin Yiwei's ability, it was not surprising to find out that Song Chi was raising a concubine outside.

It wasn't until later that he learned that although Xu Jin had wiped out the bandits in Gema Mountain, the bandits had escaped in the capital and Ma Ronger had not been caught, Luo Xiang felt relieved. However, as long as Ma Ronger was not dead, this would always be a disaster.

, coupled with the fact that Xu Jin is currently in charge of the military affairs of Shandong Province, has won several great victories in succession, recovered several counties, and is very popular, this makes Luo Xiang sleepless and uneasy!

Although Xu Jin currently has no evidence to touch him, at least the relationship has been established. Luo Xiang is naturally worried that Xu Jin will take the opportunity to punish him. After all, Xu Jin currently holds the power of life and death, and it is not impossible to avenge private revenge.

Precisely because he was worried about being caught by Xu Jin, Eunuch Luo stayed at the station and lived in seclusion during these days, and his subordinates also restrained themselves a lot.

Luo Xiang secretly sighed, a little regretful that he sent a dead soldier to assassinate Xu Jin. If it hadn't happened, maybe there would still be room for maneuver between himself and Xu Jin. Now, he can only hope that this kid will make a big mistake on the battlefield.

, it is best to die directly on the battlefield. However, this is obviously unlikely. Now that Wangtang's group of rebels are besieged by heavy troops in Tai'an City, defeat will only happen sooner or later.

"Maybe... our family can try to find someone to talk to!"

Eunuch Luo was contemplating absentmindedly when the bald Yan Yang walked in with a strange look on his face and said: "Eunuch, Commander Yuan of the Jinan Guard is here to visit."

Luo Xiang exclaimed lightly and said, "Isn't Yuan Yi leading the troops in Tai'an City?"

Yan Yang shook his head and said: "My subordinates don't know, and Commander Yuan also brought someone with him."

Luo Xiang frowned his thin eyebrows, stood up and walked to the study room.

Luo Xiang was escorted by several soldiers to the front parlor. Jinan Guard Commander Yuan Yi saw Luo Xiang and immediately stood up with an anxious look and saluted: "Yuan Yi has met Eunuch Luo."

Luo Xiang calmly glanced at the other person sitting on the ground and said calmly: "Commander Yuan, if you are not leading troops to suppress bandits in Tai'an City, why did you come to our house? Aren't you afraid that Xu Qin will punish you?

A crime of absence from duty?"

Yuan Yi couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. The reason why he ran back to Jinan overnight without asking for leave was not because he didn't take Xu Jin seriously. He really had to do this. He smiled bitterly and said: "Eunuch Luo, I am the same..." As he said this,

He looked at Sun Cai who was sitting on the ground with a troubled expression.

Luo Xiang's heart was moved, he glanced at Sun Cai, and scolded in a sharp voice: "Who are you? How dare you not be polite when you see me?"

Sun Cai said happily: "Eunuch Luo is worthy of being a provincial guard. His momentum is extraordinary. Unfortunately, this is of no use to me. I am not an official, but a rebel who specializes in killing officials. What a courtesy!"

Luo Xiang couldn't help but change his face. The man with a knife behind him immediately rushed forward and drew out his sword. The bald man Yan Yang even used a goshawk and a rabbit move, and grabbed Sun Cai's face with his five-fingered claws.

Sun Cai let out a light sigh, stood up suddenly and punched out. There was a muffled grunt and a bone cracking sound. Yan Yang took a few steps back, his face turned red and purple, and his hand was dislocated.

Sun Cai shook his head and sat down, mockingly saying: "The eagle claw hand is okay, but it needs a little more heat. If I guess correctly, you are the vulture who committed the murder of the whole family in Fengqiu, right?"

"Yuan Yi, who is this person?" Luo Xiang looked at Yuan Yi and asked sharply.

Yuan Yi said with a bitter face: "This person is the White Lotus Demon...teaching people!"

"Come here, capture this traitor!" Luo Xiang immediately shouted coldly, and a group of tough fans immediately swarmed into the hall.

The old man Sun Cai said calmly: "Slow down, Mr. Luo is still so impulsive at his age. Since I dare to come, I naturally have something to rely on. There is a ledger here. Mr. Luo should take a look at it before making a decision.

"

After Sun Cai finished speaking, he threw the account book away. A fan quickly caught it and checked it to make sure it was not poisoned before presenting it to Luo Xiang.

Luo Xiang took the account book and opened it, his face instantly turned ugly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Sun Cai said calmly: "This is just a copy. I didn't bring it with me originally. Even if Eunuch Luo tears it up, it will be useless."

Luo Xiang's expression gradually returned to calm, he waved his hand to signal Yan Yang and others to exit the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Sun Cai laughed and said: "Eunuch Luo is so cheerful. We are ready to break out. Please, Eunuch Luo, please prepare 100,000 stones of food for us, as well as weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows. The more the better!"

Yuan Yi's complexion changed. Aiding the enemy was a serious crime, including confiscating one's home and beheading one's head.

Eunuch Luo's face darkened, and he said with consternation: "Food can be given, but one hundred thousand dan is too much, three thousand dan at most. As for weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows, our family has no way to get them, so there is nothing we can do to help."

Sun Cai sneered and stood up: "Since Eunuch Luo is not sincere, let's not talk about it. However, if Tai'an City does not receive any news from me tonight, the original account book will be handed over to Song Chi's concubine the next day.

Give it to Xu Jin. Hey, I think Xu will be happy to accept the beheading!"

Yuan Yi shuddered cleverly. Xu Jin investigated the granary deficit case in Yanzhou Prefecture, and directly killed more than a hundred officials in charge of the granary, and also arrested hundreds of officials in eighteen counties. If they were

If he gets this account book, his own life may not be guaranteed.

Luo Xiang's expression changed. Song Chi's account book not only recorded money transactions with him, but also several other high-ranking officials in Shandong Province, involving hundreds of officials. If this account book fell into the hands of Xu Jin, then the fun would be

If it gets too big, the entire officialdom of Jinan will probably be turned upside down.

Seeing this, Sun Cai sat down again, crossed his legs and drank tea, looking like he was sure of you.

Luo Xiang said in a deep voice: "There is really no way for our family to obtain one hundred thousand shi of food. We can only get ten thousand shi at most. As for the weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows, our family can ask our subordinates to even out some of them, so there are hundreds of them.

No more, and there will be nothing left. It’s up to you whether you want it or not, or we’ll break up in one fell swoop!”

Sun Cai opened his mouth and asked for 100,000 shi of grain, just to raise the price. In fact, even if Luo Xiang could really get 100,000 shi of grain, even the few thieves in Tai'an City would not be able to move away. At this time, seeing Luo Xiang's resolute attitude,

There should really be only so much we could get, so he nodded and said: "Okay, the deal is done, the goods must be seen within ten days, otherwise the account book and people will be handed over to Xu Zhangtou."

Luo Xiang said coldly: "If our family gives you goods, what will you do with the accounts and people?"

"Hey, this is simple. You can send people to follow. As long as the food is in place, we will hand over the people and the ledgers to your men. The ledgers will be burned on the spot, and the people can be killed on the spot. Don't worry, I can be considered a

A person in the world of martial arts makes the most commitment and will definitely do what he says!"
