Liu Bang led a team of about fifty people and stood at the city gate. He ordered the two deputy captains: "You two, please make your subordinates pay attention. No one from the Lu family can enter with medicinal materials."
The two vice-captains looked down upon Liu Bang and said contemptuously: "Don't worry, Liu Ji. This matter was ordered by your master, so of course we know."
What they listened to was what General Peng said, not what you Liu Bang said.
I couldn't help but think to myself: "Who are you, Liu Bang, to dare to point fingers in front of them? If you weren't afraid of ruining Shou General Peng's affairs, I would have punished you for disrespecting an official."
At any rate, their names are on the queue.
Since General Peng was very powerful in Pei County, they would naturally be able to get a share of the pie and gain great benefits by following him.
The Qin Dynasty had a system of prefectures and counties, and Pei County also had civil servants and ministers.
But this time there was no governor in Peixian County, and all the power was taken over by General Peng, the military general stationed here.
However, on the surface, the two lieutenants nodded casually and said: "It's fine on our side. You should think about the punishment after failure, hehe!"
When the time comes, General Peng will be under too much pressure and will naturally look for a scapegoat.
Liu Bang twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I won't bother you with the matter of the pavilion chief. I have my own plan. I believe that the Lu family's acquisition team will be back soon, and they will catch all the stolen goods."
"I hope that's the case, haha."
"..."
Lao Liu suddenly felt that he could no longer communicate with these two people. What a ghost.
He thought to himself: "When I become rich in the future, I will definitely make you all regret it, huh!"
If you care about him today, he will be beyond your reach tomorrow.
"We must work hard and never let these bastards look down upon us. I, Liu Bang, am someone who wants to do great things." He thought to himself.
At this time, soldiers came to report.
"Report, my lords, the Lu family's butler has arrived."
The two lieutenants looked at each other, nodded, and said to Liu Bang: "Very good, Lord Liu Ji, please give the order. We can seal it as soon as the Lu family people come over."
But remember, you only have this chance. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. With Lu Gong’s reputation, even Mr. Peng cannot bear the pressure. When the time comes..."
Since General Peng gave Liu Bang the right to issue orders, they would naturally not overstep it, not to mention that this rogue was also a good scapegoat.
Very good.
Hearing this, Liu Bang's face twitched. He naturally knew the meaning of these two people's words, and he knew even more clearly that General Peng's purpose of doing this was just to clear up the relationship.
"But it doesn't matter. As long as I can take revenge and go back, there will be no punishment." Once successful, maybe I can take this opportunity to build a good relationship with General Peng.
Well, this business is profitable.
Although it is not certain what is in those carriages of the Lu family, it is definitely medicinal materials. "It cannot be anything else."
He could guarantee this by patting his chest with his left hand.
Without thinking too much, he said calmly: "Immediately ask people to prepare for inspection. This time they must be captured together. The medicinal materials lost in the army cannot be obtained by others. They must be traced back."
This was naturally the crime he had discussed with General Peng.
As the saying goes, there is no need to blame others. They had already thought of countermeasures in advance. A batch of military medicine happened to be lost among the defenders stationed in Peixian County, so Liu Bangte was sent to inspect and recover it.
It would be best if the person gets both the stolen goods and the stolen goods, and this case will become a solid case.
But if there is no evidence, when Lu Gong comes to visit, he, General Peng, will not be able to think about it easily. It is natural for Liu Bang to be used as a scapegoat.
"good."
The two lieutenants nodded slightly in agreement. This matter was not difficult.
What they were looking forward to was the arrival of the Lu family's horse-drawn carriage. It was highly possible that whether the horse-drawn carriage contained in it was medicinal materials, but no one dared to confirm it.
Seemingly seeing the distrustful looks in their eyes, Liu Bang hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, brothers. I, Liu Ji, am already sure of this matter. There is no way I can let that boy surnamed Jiang go on free."
His eyes were as cold as frost and snow.
That unhappiness had already spread out, and the anger that had been crippled had accumulated in his heart for a long time. He, Liu Bang, had always bullied others, and this time it was definitely a shame.
It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this kind of hatred.
"What's more, I, Liu Bang, am just a villain." He mused in his heart, his eyes as cold as a cold light, "Although Jiang Chao is weird and mysterious and has a big secret, I, Liu Bang, am not a vegetarian either.
After all, this world is still a world with complicated human relationships and sophistication, so who does Jiang Qian mean to him, huh!"
He firmly believes that there is much power in the world that can be borrowed.
For example, didn't he borrow the power of General Peng this time? As long as you use it well, even if you are a true god, you have to obediently untie the thing in his arm and let it return to normal.
"Liu Ji, the Lu family's convoy from other counties has arrived." A soldier reminded, pointing to the official road a few hundred meters away.
Liu Bang looked around, and sure enough, a large group of motorcades had gathered, and dust was raised all the way. He was very envious, "If I become the son-in-law of the Lu family, all this wealth will belong to me, Liu Bang."
Pity.
Now Lu Gong doesn't look down on him at all. It will take some time to win Lu Zhi's heart.
"But I, Liu Bang, will not back down. If I want to be the son-in-law of the Lu family, I need money, people, and fame. Why should I, Liu Bang, worry about not being able to achieve great things?"
I thought to myself secretly.
Of course, I was just thinking, "Now we have to get rid of those guys named Yi and Jiang. It's best to kill them to avoid future troubles."
Lu Ren is the steward of Lu Mansion.
His name is Lu Ren, not a woman.
Well, that's a bit convoluted.
No matter what, since Lu Gong received the money from Jiang Chi, the Lu family has developed rapidly, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of personnel.
Therefore, he, Lu Ren, now has a lot more power.
Just as he was about to enter the city triumphantly, he was stopped by several sergeants. He said dissatisfiedly: "This is the Lu family's motorcade, who dares to stop it?"
Reputation is very important these days.
Especially Lu Gong's reputation is well-known in Peixian County.
The sergeants were stunned and didn't know how to answer. At this time, Liu Bang stood up and said calmly: "Steward Lu, don't think too much. It's just that a lot of military medicinal materials have been stolen from the garrison recently. General Peng gave a special order.
I'll investigate this matter.
So starting from today, all vehicles entering and exiting the city need to be inspected."
Lu Ren was startled, suddenly remembering his master's instructions, and couldn't help but said: "It's you, a scoundrel. Liu Bang, let me ask you, do you have the official title of Lord County Sheriff?"
General Peng is just a general stationed here, and according to the rules, he has no jurisdiction.
Liu Bang said: "General Peng has said that he has the final say in Pei County. Lu Ren, do you think that I, Liu Bang, deceived you?"
After finishing speaking, he ordered to the group of soldiers behind him: "Hurry up and check it out. Although the Lu family is a wealthy family and Mr. Lu is also famous, but just in case, I think it would be better to kill a thousand people by mistake."
Never let one go."
"Hmph, stop." Lu Ren was not afraid, and shouted coldly: "Liu Bang, you are so brave. You dare to touch my Lu family's things. Aren't you afraid that Lu Gong will accuse you?"
"Afraid?" Liu Bang chuckled and said, "I'm just afraid that your Lu family will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. If military medicinal materials are stolen and found in your Lu family's motorcade, how many heads do you think the Lu family can chop off?
Lu Ren, why don’t you get out of the way quickly?”
Seeing this, Lu Ren's eyes darkened and he said, "Young man Liu Bang, don't talk nonsense. If what you say is true, I, the Lu family, will be punished.
But, what if it’s not found through a search?
If the century-old reputation of my Lu family is not destroyed in one day, what compensation can you get?"
Are there no medicinal materials in the convoy?
He had been looking for someone to inquire about it for several days, and there was no doubt that there was no mistake. He immediately said: "So, Lu Ren, what do you want?"
Victory is certain, and he has nothing to fear.
Lu Ren's eyes were slightly strange, and he said to himself: "It's just as the master said, Liu Bang was really fooled, hehe."
He immediately said: "I, Lu Ren, have full authority to represent my master, Liu Bang, when I am away from home. Let me ask you, do you dare to have a bet with my Lu family?"
