A sudden crisis, fortunately, ended up with a false alarm, and Lu Haoshan felt relieved.

The price was very high. A very expensive courtesan and three hundred taels of silver sent him away his immediate boss. However, for Lu Haoshan, everything was worth it. After this crisis, he would be recognized by the official in disguise. At that time, someone would doubt it, and he could also use the title of the immediate boss, the prefect Cheng, to make him do anything much easier. Another important thing is that he would not report it to the court to handle it internally.

The result of internal processing is mostly that the thunder sounds loud and the raindrops are small. Time is the best digestive agent, which slowly fades over time and is then forgotten intentionally or unintentionally.

By the way, if you have the opportunity, let Yuan San go to other places to make some noise, divert the water from the east, and divert his attention, so that the danger can be minimized. After several months of preparation, including the establishment of prestige, the improvement of fame, the preparation of money and grain, and the recruitment of talents, and then ride on the "east wind" of the White Lotus Sect that makes waves, establish your own power.

"Brother Shan, what should I do if Captain Cao and others?" Liu Jinzhu asked in a low voice.

Such a big thing happened, Cao Hu and a group of yamen runners were sold by their county magistrate without knowing it. No matter what, the tax silver was thrown in their hands. Liu Jinzhu was uneasy recently and was worried about Cao Hu and others, for fear that the people from the court would follow the clues and arrest him. In fact, Liu Jinzhu was so scared that he couldn't sleep with him. He really couldn't understand why he had to live a good life and stayed safe.

This is simply a birthday boy who hangs his neck and hates his longevity. Liu Jinzhu finally understood why Lu Haoshan suddenly said that he would give him an extra choice a few days ago. It turned out that he wanted to do these big things. However, he was also a little moved. At least, Brother Shan treats him very well. Therefore, although he didn't understand, he did not say a single rebuttal in front of Lu Haoshan. This is respect for Brother Shan and the result of his own choice.

Lu Haoshan said lightly: "Magistrate Cheng had already told me last night that Cao Hu and the others were fine and would soon bet on the road with the money."

"Silver?" Liu Jinzhu said in surprise: "Brother Shan, where did the money come from? Besides, weren't the Chen family killed? All these things alarmed the governor and the commander Tongzhi. We must send capable people to deal with it. It would not be so easy to get away with it, right?"

The matter involved this time is too big. Those officials will definitely send the most capable people to investigate the matter. As long as some clues are found, Cao Hu and the others can expose it. It is learned from Yuan San that even though the official silver was robbed, Cao Hu still did all the Chen family as planned. This courage is very good.

"There is a detail you didn't pay attention to," Lu Haoshan said with interest: "Yuan San and the others only hurt people, but they did not kill them. However, the news that even the yamen runners had damaged more than ten people. It is very likely that they were destroyed because of different opinions. They were buried in the so-called robbers together with the Chen family. From killing to investigating the case, they had enough time to be an offensive and defensive alliance, because those who were by Cao Hu were his confidants, and it didn't take much effort. When Chen Gui became the county magistrate, he covered the sky with only one hand in Jiangyou and almost controlled the six houses, but the control of the three yamen runners was through Cao Hu. From this, it can be seen that Cao Hu was very good at taming people."

After pausing, Lu Haoshan said lightly: "Compared to the robbery of Guanyin, this murder case seems insignificant. It is really found that Cao Hu and others killed him. They can say that Guanyin was robbed and knew that his life was not guaranteed. In anger, he killed the colluders to expose his anger. Fortunately, Shangguan was preparing to cover this matter, so they also escaped."

These officials spared no effort to avoid being promoted and exempted from liability. Even if the people rebelled, they dared to hide it, let alone a mere tax and silver robbery.

Liu Jinzhu said with some concern: "Brother Shan, people like Cao Hu are not easy to control, so you can't use him anymore. Find a reason to kick him out. It's a scourge to stay with you."

"No" Lu Haoshan said in a shocking voice: "I want to use him instead."

"Ah, Brother Shan, why?"

"It is always much better for a talented person than a mediocre person. He is a talented person and naturally has more ideas, but as long as you have enough skills to tame him and control him, then the rewards you can receive will be very generous." Lu Haoshan said confidently.

"But Brother Shan and Chen Gui are also very skilled, but he can't surrender him, especially the third yamen runners, who let him make a piece of iron barrel. It's not good to keep such a person."

Lu Haoshan laughed and said disrespectfully: "Cao Hu thought he was very smart. Since he had mastered three yamen runners, he could control everything. In fact, I gave him his power. Without the position of captain and no silver or grain to those yamen runners, who would submit to him? Besides, he was short-sighted and just stayed in the one acre and three land of the three yamen. It would not be a climate."

Liu Jinzhu said in surprise: "But Brother Shan, those yamen runners all listen to him. What if he doesn't obey your orders?"

"These yamen runners are just some mobs, and they don't have much effect. I have a private guard, so those yamen runners are not enough. Besides, we will soon have a stronger force. Even if Cao Hu can jump, he will not be able to jump out of my Wuzhi Mountain."

When Lu Haoshan spoke, his tone was firm and his eyes were full of confidence.

"Brother Shan, what do you mean?"

"Training the New Army" Lu Haoshan's words were full of longing and said with excitement: "In terms of grain, I have always asked Zhou Dayuan to secretly purchase it. He entrusted Chen Gui's blessing, Jiangyou's grain and oil store accounted for more than half of the share. After Chen Gui fell, these resources fell into our hands and secretly stored a lot of grain. As for the two sides, we were not afraid of it. The temporary silver was still sufficient. In terms of talent, Yuan San and his subordinates. Taking advantage of the White Lotus Sect, it is a great opportunity to train the New Army."

Lu Haoshan rarely hides what he wants to do from Liu Jinzhu. Liu Jinzhu knew that Lu Haoshan wanted to integrate the village and others in the morning, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to do it now.

With the yamen runners and private guards, they paid out of their own pocket to train military forces without supplies and staffing. Is this just for the purpose of trading tea and horses or... Liu Jinzhu couldn't imagine it, but Liu Jinzhu also had the advantage of not being smart enough: Lu Haoshan did whatever he wanted to do himself, and he didn't have to spend too much effort at all.

In order to train the new army, Lu Haoshan first created a bloody case in Liubianyi, and then directed the incident of Guanyin, the robbery of the Wugongling Ridge. It can be said that he was doing everything he could. Liu Jinzhu knew that Lu Haoshan had made up his mind and was useless to persuade him, so he simply said: "Brother Shan, what do you want me to do?"

"How was Zhao Yuqing going?" Lu Haoshan suddenly asked.

Lu Haoshan was willing to cooperate with Zhao Yuqing to do tea and horse transactions, but Zhao Yuqing did not give a clear reply. However, in the letter, he asked for an ancient inkstone in the hands of the gentry Zhou He. This was a test for Lu Haoshan, testing Lu Haoshan's sincerity and ability. Lu Haoshan had already handed over to Liu Jinzhu to inquire about this matter.

It’s okay if you don’t mention it. When Liu Jinzhu mentioned it, his face turned red and he said angrily: “Brother Shan, don’t mention Zhou He’s old immortal. He is shameless and he is simply ignorant of politeness.”

If it was so easy to succeed, Zhao Yuqing would not have let himself do it. Being rejected by Lu Haoshan’s expectations, but Liu Jinzhu was so angry that Lu Haoshan was a little surprised. He smiled and said, “Jinzhu, it’s so angry that you are. Tell me what’s going on?”

"Brother Shan, you don't know how crazy that old boy is. I, Jin Zhu, has been in Jiangyou for so long, and I am a little famous, but the old boy doesn't even let the door in. He is too arrogant and speaks very badly. He doesn't give his things with both hands. I asked him to offer the price. Unexpectedly, he sneered and asked someone to splash me with water. After the splash, he threatened me to go find him again, and then broke my leg. Fortunately, I didn't get typhoid fever."

"Does he know your identity?"

"I said that you have always followed you, but it has no effect at all."

Lu Haoshan frowned and couldn't help but say, "Jinzhu, this person is so crazy, does he have any background?"

"Yes, I heard that he has a relative who serves as an official in the palace." Liu Jinzhu said weakly.

"Oh, are there any relatives who are officials in the palace?" Lu Haoshan also became respectful when he heard this and asked quickly: "What kind of relatives, what kind of official?"

"I am a cousin, who is a father-in-law in the palace. I heard that he is a right deputy envoy of the Clothing Washing Bureau."

"What, you said a cousin was a father-in-law in the palace and served as the deputy envoy of the right laundry clothes?"

"Yes, the people in their village say this, so that the old guy is so crazy. Brother Shan, it seems that this matter is not easy to deal with."

When Lu Haoshan heard this, he laughed out loud. He thought he was so awesome to rely on some big shots. Unexpectedly, he was a eunuch. The so-called laundry department was just a place to do laundry. To put it bluntly, it was a small, even insignificant eunuch who managed several laundry palace maids and servants, or a right deputy envoy. If he was a personal eunuch beside the emperor, such as a eunuch who held the pen, a eunuch in charge of printing, a big eunuch who had the power to criticize the king or a guarding one side, he was a big shot. Where did a person from a small laundry bureau talk about his words in the palace?

Besides, the current political situation is turbulent and national affairs cannot be handled in time. Who cares about the voice of a small person?

It can be said that Chongzhen suffered a lot from eunuchs. After defeating Wei Zhongxian, the status of eunuchs in the palace could no longer return to their former scale and glory. Zhou He was a bit like a Chinese in later generations. When he heard that someone was from a developed country in Europe and the United States, his eyes immediately became hot, as if the other party was so powerful. He didn't know that even developed countries had many poor and scumbags, but he was only exposed to a halo. Lu Haoshan had a cousin in his previous life who was deeply hurt. After graduation, he got a small civil servant and stayed in the provincial capital. Unexpectedly, he became a high-ranking official in the eyes of relatives and friends. So he went to him for anything, thinking that he was so capable. Even if a cow disappeared, he called him and asked him to put pressure on the local police station. It was so painful.

"Brother Shan, why are you laughing?" Liu Jinzhu couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Lu Haoshan laughing suddenly.

Lu Haoshan shook his head, patted Liu Jinzhu on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing. Just laugh at Zhou He for being too overestimated. Don't worry, I will do this for you. If he is tactful, this matter will be exposed. If he is stubborn, hehe, just think he is unlucky. Let's go, it's important to do the serious business."

"Serious business? What are you going to do?"
