scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 128
When Qu Jingcheng was still making a fuss over Fatty Lu's angrily resigned, Fatty Lu had quietly returned to Badahe Wharf at the junction of Luoping and Sicheng Mansion.

Why go back to this remote Bada River Wharf?Maybe many of my friends don’t remember it. It was on this pier that our Fatty Lu was targeted by Kong Sizhen’s lackeys for the first time. size events.

But now, when revisiting the old place this time, the situation is completely different from the previous situation, although the entourage around Fatty Lu has changed from the dozens of people last time to the current Zhu Fangdan, Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan. , but behind Fatty Lu, there were thousands more soldiers and civilians of Qujing Mansion who spontaneously came to see him off—although Fatty Lu really didn't request or secretly encouraged the people to come to see him off, but among these people, there was one Most of the people came from Qujing City hundreds of miles away to bid farewell to Fatty Lu, such a rare good dog official.

——In all honesty, Fatty Lu is indeed worthy of the love and respect of the common people, not to mention honesty and justice. Fatty Lu has been the only local official who has lifted the people of Qujing out of poverty and become rich throughout the ages.

The biggest change is the reaction of the Guangxi military and civilians on Sicheng Mansion, which borders Qujing. Last time Fatty Lu came here, he was greeted by Kong Sizhen's ubiquitous eyeliner and the search and exploitation of Guangxi soldiers. At dawn, countless soldiers and civilians of Sicheng Prefecture, under the personal leadership of Cen Jilu, Cen Qidai and his son, the local prefect of Sicheng, came to this pier to welcome Fatty Lu and welcome Fatty Lu back to Guangxi. ——By the way, the reason why the Cen family and his son were able to know this news was that Fatty Lu's brother Wang Jing sent a fast horse to sue him and asked them to protect Fatty Lu's safety.

Cen Jilu and Cen Qidai's father and son are so affectionate to Fatty Lu, of course it is aimless. As the only chieftain in Guangxi who secretly grows the Eight Banners Fushou Gao, the chieftain of Cen's family has many shortcomings in growing and boiling medicine, and the output and quality have not been improved. Of course, I hope Fatty Lu This drug expert can come and give us some pointers.At the same time, the Cen family father and son had a very close relationship with Wang Jing, Fatty Lu's sworn brother. As Wang Fuchen was about to be transferred to Wang Jing's position, it was even more impossible for the Cen family father and son to neglect Fatty Lu.

He was respectfully invited by the Cen family father and son to live in Lingyun City, Sicheng Prefecture for two days. Fatty Lu repeatedly rejected the kindness of the Cen family father and son to keep him, and decided to continue down the Youjiang River and go to Nanning Mansion to join the line Guoan stationed there. His son lined Yu Xuan to seek his protection, and waited for Kong Sizhen's lackeys to kill him by the way.It was useless for the father and son of the Cen family to persuade them, and Fatty Lu explained that Sicheng was too close to Qujing, and staying in Sicheng by himself might cause trouble for the father and son of the Cen family. Go south, and donate a lot of money to subsidize the travel.

When parting, Fatty Lu not only taught the Cen family and his son some techniques of brewing medicine, but also specially told the Cen family to keep secret and prevent the seeds from leaking out. It's not stupid, if the seeds of the Eight Banners drug are allowed to flow, then within a few years, their father and son will have to hold the Eight Banners drug that cannot be eaten, cannot be worn, and is worth less than dung.As for the secret planting, the Cen family and his son just wanted to make a fortune in silence, and didn't want to attract a group of white-eyed wolves like Ma Xiong, Line Yuxuan, Dai Liangchen and Sun Yanling.

Originally, the father and son of the Cen family ordered the campfire to protect Fatty Lu and his party to arrive at Nanning City directly, but as soon as the campfire of the father and son of the Cen family arrived at Baise at the junction of Sicheng Mansion and Sien Mansion, Fatty Lu asked them to return to Sicheng. He still wanted to insist, but Fatty Lu said to him: "General, if you don't want to harm me, please go back. Your army has no court establishment, and you can't cross the border at will. If you really protect me to Nanning, someone will kill me." There's more to say."

When Fatty Lu got to this point, the minority native soldiers of the Cen family did not dare to persist, so they had to let Fatty Lu go, and Fatty Lu paid a lot of money to thank these native soldiers, and hired Zhu Fangdan, Xiao Erlang and others in Baise. I took a civilian boat and took the Youjiang waterway straight down to Nanning.On the journey, Fatty Lu and others tried their best to keep a low profile, try not to contact outsiders, and the boats did not stop, and they just traveled southward at full speed day and night.

Fatty Lu couldn't help it, Guangxi was Kong Sizhen's hometown after all, although Kong Sizhen must have had no time to receive the news and react, but it could not be ruled out that Kong Sizhen's death would be to please his master and attack Fatty Lu on his own initiative.So for Fatty Lu, the most important thing for this meeting is to rush to Nanning City, at least to the territory of Nanning Prefecture, so as to avoid unknown dangers to the greatest extent.

Fortunately, Fatty Lu had good luck in coming to Guangxi this time. During the three-day journey from Baise to Guohua Prefecture, the northernmost part of Nanning Prefecture, Fatty Lu and his party did not encounter any trouble. Fatty Lu and the others finally felt a little relieved, and started to slow down their schedule, traveling all the way to Nanning City.

On the eighth day of March in the tenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, the civilian ship hired by Lu Fatty and others finally landed at the Nanning City Wharf, officially entering this ancient city. The father and son Line Guoan, Line Yuxuan also did not visit Han Zhang, the magistrate of Nanning, but asked Xiao Erlang and others to find an inn in the city to stay.Regarding Fatty Lu's decision, Zhu Fangdan and Xiao Erlang were very surprised, and they asked together: "Master (Master), after finally arriving in Nanning City, why don't you immediately go to General Line? The general is covering us, Kongsi bitch won't dare to touch you even if she eats the guts of a leopard?"

"Don't worry, I don't know much about the father and son line Guoan and line Yuxuan." Fatty Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "I will visit them soon, and then I will be followed by their eyeliner immediately, so I won't have the chance to learn a lot It's done." Zhu Fangdan and Xiao Erlang saw that Fatty Lu had made up his mind, and knowing that entering Nanning City was basically half safe, they didn't object and let Fatty Lu go.

To be honest, Fatty Lu is really interested in Line Guoan and Line Yuxuan and his sons. After Kong Youde was killed by Li Dingguo, it was the old traitor Line Guoan who quickly returned to Guilin and beat Li Dingguo out of Guilin again. In the past few years, none of Kong Youde's gang of wolves, tigers and leopards dared to disobey. In history, after the death of Lan Guo'an, the soldiers of the Guangxi army were stripped of power by Kong Sizhen because of Lan Yuxuan, and spontaneously organized a mutiny, forcing Kong Sizhen to flee. Hiding under the common people's beds, it can be seen that the father and son have won the hearts of the Guangxi army.

But just such a pair of father and son, in the historical records of the Qing Dynasty, there are very few, and even the final ending of Rian Yuxuan is not mentioned at all, and the treatment is not even as good as that of Kong Sizhen's lover and slave Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian. He is such an idiot, and at the same time, he hardly mentioned the performance and reaction of the father and son of the Line family during the San Francisco Rebellion. The court is so secretive about their situation?
In addition, Fatty Lu is also very strange. When Hu Guozhu proposed to let him go to Yuxuan to avoid the limelight, why did he say that he was wronged?And Wang Shirong, Fang Guangchen and others would laugh so mysteriously and meanly?What is the reason for this?
After settling down and resting in the inn for the night, Fatty Lu led his dog legs to the streets of Nanning early the next morning, and began to tour the beautiful scenery of Nanning city.But of course, Nanning City at this time cannot be as prosperous as later generations. The dilapidated city after repeated wars is not even as good as Qujing before Fatty Lu took over. Most of the people on the streets are dressed in rags. The face is disheveled, not much better than the people in Qujing before Fatty Lu took over.

The market is so dilapidated, there are so few entertainment items, so Xiao Erlang and others are yawning and losing interest after shopping for a long time, but Zhu Fangdan is in high spirits, stopping from time to time to appreciate the Guangxi medicines on the roadside drug stalls, or From time to time, I stop a pretty girl and daughter-in-law to repeat the same trick, claiming that the other party is sick and willing to provide free treatment, even if they are slapped, they still enjoy it.Fatty Lu kept paying attention to the Nanning garrison patrolling and wandering on the street, so as to observe the local military discipline of the Line Guoan Army.

Contrary to Fatty Lu's expectations, the direct army directly under Lin Guoan seemed to be very popular in Nanning, and got along quite well with the people in the city. Apart from maintaining the usual awe of these soldiers, the people did not hide in fear when they saw them. Like a tiger reacting like a leopard stealing spots, one can imagine how strict the line's father and son are in running the army.At the same time, Fatty Lu also noticed that although the equipment of the soldiers in the Nanning garrison was very ordinary, and most of the military uniforms were old and dilapidated, the Green Camp was not much better, but the mental outlook of the soldiers was quite good, and their morale seemed to be very high.

Seeing this situation, Fatty Lu inevitably had the thought, "If this army can be used by me, and if their equipment is improved, it must be a reliable and elite army on the anti-Qing battlefield. However, there are such Is it possible?"

"Young master, I just inquired about it, and the line is in front of you." Xiao Erlang's words interrupted Fatty Lu's thinking.Fatty Lu followed Xiao Erlang's instructions and looked up. On the side of the street in front of him, there really stood a vermilion lacquered gate with stone lions on both sides. plaque.

When he got closer, Fatty Lu carefully observed all kinds of people entering and leaving the Line Mansion and the soldiers guarding the gate, and suddenly saw a notice posted next to the gate of the Line Mansion. After carefully looking at the content of the notice, Fatty Lu couldn't help laughing— — This is a recruitment notice, and Rong Guoan intends to recruit a school teacher who is well-versed in poetry and books for his youngest son, Rong Qiyu.Seeing this, Fatty Lu smiled evilly, called Zhu Fangdan, Xiao Erlang and others to the side and gave some instructions, and walked to the front of the line mansion with his hands behind his back.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The gate guard stopped Fatty Lu for questioning as a matter of course.Fatty Lu pointed at the notice, and replied: "Please report to Old General Line, I want to sign up to be the tutor of Young Master Line."

"Then wait, I'll report to you." The gatekeeper nodded in agreement, and went into the gate to report to Lan Guoan.After a while, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a butler came out of the door, looked Fatty Lu up and down, nodded slightly satisfied, and said, "Come in with me."

Fatty Lu smiled, and unceremoniously swayed into the Line Mansion with his hands behind his back, and walked through the second gate all the way to the reception hall of the Line Mansion, but it was a pity that Line Guoan's third son, Line Yuxuan, was in the hall In order to meet with the generals of Nanning and discuss the military situation with them, the steward of the Line Mansion had no choice but to let Fatty Lu wait outside the hall.It was not until a long time later that someone in the hall came out to say hello: "Where are the people who want to be tutors? You can come in."

As a matter of course, Fatty Lu came out of the crowd, and walked into the reception hall of the line mansion full of generals with his hands behind his back, but when he stood on the top of the hall and took a closer look at Line Yuxuan sitting in the middle of the reception hall, Fatty Lu suddenly His eyes widened, and the arrogance in his body was swept away, and he almost wanted to turn his head and run away...

Fatty Lu now finally understands why Wang Shirong and Fang Guangchen's bastards laughed so lewdly at the time. The armored Lan Yuxuan sitting in the middle of the hall turned out to be a charming and charming monk who was never as beautiful as Kong Sizhen. A beautiful woman under the sun!The big eyes, the snow-white skin, the charming little cherry mouth - and the two ecstasy mustaches on the top of the little mouth, made Fatty Lu have an urge to faint...

"Bold, don't you kneel down when you see my young general?" Fatty Lu didn't kneel or worship when he came to the hall, and even stared at Yu Xuan with a silly face, and a Guangxi general next to him couldn't help shouting angrily stand up.

"Hutongchun, forget it." Line Yuxuan finally spoke, his voice was crisp and clear, like a yellow warbler out of the valley.After waving his hands to stop his subordinates from attacking, and after looking Fatty Lu up and down, Yu Xuan asked with a charming expression: "You are recommended by yourself to be my younger brother's tutor? What's your name? Where are you from? What's your background?"

Although Line Yuxuan's expression is extremely charming and charming, and his voice is very clear and pleasant, but for Fatty Lu, who is absolutely normal in sexual orientation, he has a feeling of goosebumps, and he almost subconsciously replied: "Xia Fengxiang , a scholar in Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province."

"You're a scholar?" Line Yu Xuan frowned, showing a charming expression, as if he was very dissatisfied with Fatty Lu's diploma.At the end, Yu Xuan frowned again, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as my younger brother can read and write, a scholar is fine."

"Third son, I'm afraid this guy can't do it right?" Hu Tongchun, the general at the beginning, interjected, and said seriously: "You see, this guy's footsteps are flimsy, his body is fat and muscular, and he obviously doesn't have any martial arts skills. He can really teach the young master down." ?”

"This general, Mao Sui recommended himself to be Young Master Lin's tutor, not his martial artist." Fatty Lu protested dissatisfied.

Unexpectedly, Hu Tongchun immediately sneered, "Boy, I'm doing it for your own good. I'm afraid that you might lose your life. You'd better not bite Lu Dongbin like a dog. You don't know good people."

"What do you mean?" Fatty Lu suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Mr. Feng, you must have just come from another place, right?" Line Yuxuan smiled wryly, and said, "You probably don't know yet, although my younger brother has just turned 11 years old, he has beaten away two brothers in the past year." There are more than a dozen school teachers, and I have also lost hundreds of taels of silver in paying for soup and medicine."

"No wonder you want to put up a notice signboard for a tutor." Fatty Lu suddenly came to his senses, and blurted out: "I was surprised just now. If you tell your family backgrounds about the three generals, you only need to ask for a tutor, and some of them come to recommend themselves. Why is the notice so old and still stuck on the wall?"

"Mr. Feng is brilliant, that's the truth." Line Yuxuan smiled bitterly, then looked at Fatty Lu with big watery eyes and asked, "Mr. Feng, are you still willing to teach my younger brother now? As long as you can teach him Memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames" and write them down, I will pay you, and I will never let you down."

"It looks like the youngest son of Line Guoan is probably a little devil in the world." Fatty Lu pondered in his heart, but the more this happened, the more Fatty Lu became more interested. , I guarantee that I will be able to educate young master Lin to be a talent."

"Oh, those two conditions?" Line Yuxuan asked with his neck as beautiful as a swan.

"First, I have to bring two helpers to help me educate the young master." Fatty Lu said in his heart that I brought Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan, two thugs, to see if you can beat you, the little devil in the world, into a kitten in the world. "Secondly, what method will I use to educate Young Master Line, neither the Third General Line nor the old General Line can intervene, let alone interfere."

"Bring a helper?" Line Yuxuan's beautiful eyes showed a puzzled look - this is the first time that the private school teacher has to bring a helper to teach students.

"Major General, is there any private school teacher in this world who teaches students and still needs to bring helpers?" A general wearing a lieutenant general's uniform stood up, looked suspiciously at Fatty Lu, and called Yu Xuan, "Major General, what do you think this is?" He is very suspicious, he doesn't look like a gentleman at all, it's better not to use him."

Lan Yuxuan looked forward with beautiful eyes, and looked at Fatty Lu suspiciously, but Fatty Lu came here just for fun and to take the opportunity to understand Lan Yuxuan's mind. He didn't care if he could be the teacher of Lan Yuxuan's younger brother, and he really didn't want to go Seeing the two ecstasy mustaches on Line Yu Xuan's pretty face, he simply turned his face away and continued to put on an arrogant and conceited look.

"Forget it, this fat guy looks unreliable." Line Yuxuan thought about it, and wanted to refuse, but at this moment, Line Fu, the general of Line Yuxuan's mansion, suddenly ran in and yelled as soon as he entered the door. Said: "Third son, it's terrible, it's terrible, the young master smashed open the firearms warehouse, and he wants to take gunpowder and muskets out of the city to hunt, and he won't listen to anyone's advice."

"Here it comes again! When will this kid let me stop worrying?" Rou Yuxuan pressed his forehead with his small hand, revealing a charming look of worrying and worrying.But what surprised everyone present was that Lin Fu suddenly pointed at Fatty Lu and exclaimed, "Lu...Master Lu, why are you here?"

"General Line, long time no see, are you okay?" Seeing that he couldn't hide anything, Fatty Lu had no choice but to smile and greet Line Fu. Two years ago, Line Yuxuan sent this Line Fu to Qujing to contact Fatty Lu. , asked about the Eight Banners drug, so of course Line Fu knew Fatty Lu.

"Lord Lu? Line Fu, do you know him?" Line Yu Xuan put down his little hand and asked in surprise.

"Third son, he is the famous Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, Mr. Lu!" Line Fu shouted: "More than two years ago, you sent me to Qujing, Yunnan to contact this Mr. Lu, asking him to help us solve the shortage of food and wages. problem."

Before the words finished, all the Guangxi generals present screamed out in alarm, and Yu Xuan even jumped up, his pretty face was full of unbelievable surprise—it can’t be helped, Fatty Lu’s reputation is too great now It is so big that no one in power dare not not salivate.

Fatty Lu smiled politely and said, "General Line Fu, I am no longer the magistrate of Qujing County. More than half a month ago, I resigned from the post of Qujing County Magistrate and came to Nanning to seek refuge. Have a bowl of rice." Speaking of this, Fatty Lu turned to Lan Yuxuan again, and said with a smile: "But it seems that General Lan is not satisfied."

What surprised Fatty Lu was that Yu Xuan did not defend or complain, complaining that Fatty Lu deliberately entered the house under a pseudonym, but strode up to Fatty Lu, knelt down on one knee, and said softly, "Yu Xuan has you!" I don’t know Mount Tai with my eyes, and I don’t know that the magistrate Lu of Qujing County is here, so I have neglected it, and I hope my lord will forgive me.”

After finishing speaking, Yu Xuan turned to the generals present and shouted: "You guys also quickly salute Mr. Lu. It is our Nanning's blessing that Mr. Lu's visit to Nanning!" For the sake of money, they quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted Fatty Lu.

Lan Yuxuan admitted his mistake so readily, which made Fatty Lu feel a little embarrassed, he hurried to help Yu Xuan, and said: "Please hurry up, Third Young Master Lan, how can Lu Yifeng be so virtuous, how dare he treat you as such a big gift? Besides, Lu Yifeng When he entered the mansion, he did not show his real name to others, it was Lu Yifeng who was rude first." After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu quickly turned to the Guangxi generals present and said: "Generals, please hurry up, don't be so polite .”

While talking, Fatty Lu suddenly felt that his claws had touched some soft and slippery place. When he looked back, he found that when he went to help Yu Xuan, his hands had unconsciously touched Yu Xuan's pair of pistols. The girl with yellow flowers still has white and tender little hands, so scared that Fatty Lu quickly let go.Line Yu Xuan smiled affectionately at Fatty Lu, and there was even a bit of shyness on his pretty face.

"Damn it! Hu Guozhu, you're screwing me to death!" Fatty Lu, whose goose bumps fell all over the ground again, growled in his heart, "I knew that Lan Yuxuan was such a person who was neither male nor female and had a tendency towards Longyang!" Shemale, even if I lose my life, I won’t come to Nanning again!”

(Note: Because the pure wolf was lazy and did not check carefully, Chapter 120 VII mistakenly wrote Nanning City, where the Ministry of National Security is stationed, as Nandan City, which has been corrected, and hereby apologizes. The text explains otherwise.)
