Chapter 18 Waste

Chapter 18 Waste
In the Lu family's courtyard, women's complaints sounded early on.

"After all, you are a boss, but how long has it been since you gave money to your family? You only reach out to ask me for it. Why did you say that the boss didn't pay you? A few days ago, Cui'er saw you inviting those guys to dinner in the fat building. I don’t want to talk about you, but tell me honestly, why did you ask my brother to borrow three hundred guan? Are you raising fans outside?!”

"There is a errand that requires money, and the higher-ups can pay for it a few days later, so I let my brother-in-law turn around first."

Lu Fengtai said, sighed, took out a deed from his bosom, handed it to his wife, and said: "Give it back to brother-in-law for me."

"The house? What are you buying the house for? You said you're not raising fans? Lu Fengtai, you wolf-hearted thing..."

"It's said that it's tolerance, tolerance, it's used to attract talents..."

"You are a wolf-hearted bastard, you eat and drink from my natal family, and you even ask my brother to borrow money to raise fans..."

"Stop it!"

After a while, crying sounded, and Lu Fengtai comforted in a low voice: "Okay, I really didn't lie to you."

"I came back so late last night, I didn't take off my coat, I went to sleep with my clothes on, I got up so early and went out again, I didn't have money to bring food home, you still yell at me? Yell at me..."

At this time, someone outside shouted again: "Toutou! Toutou! Commander is in a hurry to find you..."

Lu Fengtai had no choice but to pat his wife on the back, turned around and walked out.

……

After half an hour.

With a sound of "bang", a porcelain bottle hit Lu Fengtai's forehead, cracking the ground.

"Can't catch it? Can't catch it."

The person who spoke was Zhang Rongzhi. After falling out of the porcelain bottle, he clapped his hands and said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you Song people are thinking."

Lu Fengtai didn't answer, he lowered his head slightly, the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"Why? Unconvinced?" Zhang Rongzhi said again, "If you are unconvinced, kill me. At that time, our Mongolian Kingdom will send troops south to see how long you can hold back."

Lu Fengtai just wanted to raise his head and speak.

"spit!"

Zhang Rongzhi spat on his nose.

Lu Fengtai lowered his head again, only his fingers were shaking violently.

"Coward, you can't get things done, and you don't dare to say anything. What's the use of your life?"

"Mr. Zhang calm down, we will definitely recover these fugitives and return them to your country. Please allow another two days." He Ding, the commander of the Luzhou Army, said with a smile.

"is it?"

"sure."

Zhang Rongzhi snorted coldly, and said proudly: "Next time, don't let me talk to you trash in person."

He Ding said: "Yes, yes, the envoy will be back in two days."

Zhang Rongzhi stared at Lu Fengtai for a while longer, cursed "trash", then waved his hand.

"Go away, if you don't see anyone in two days, you will all die..."

He Dingru was pardoned, and he pulled Lu Fengtai away in a hurry.

When he walked up the long street, He Ding turned his head and saw that the saliva on Lu Fengtai's face hadn't been wiped off, and sighed, "Wipe it off, can't you just spit on your face and do it yourself?"

Lu Fengtai was a little depressed, and said: "What is this little humiliation compared to the humiliation that Da Song has suffered?"

"Hey." He Ding sighed, "Jingkang's shame, it makes people feel uncomfortable when they think about it, but now it's time to be cautious again in this situation. Do you know who this Rongzhi is?"

"Traitor."

"He can't be called a traitor. He was born in the Kingdom of Jin and surrendered to the Mongolian Kingdom early. He has never received the favor of my Great Song Dynasty. How can he be expected to help us? But his family, the Zhang family, is very powerful in Mongolia, and they secretly have a relationship with Da Song. Song smuggled and traded, and did not want Mongolia to invade the south. Even the envoy had to give his family a little bit of face.

This time Gao Changshou sneaked into the Zhang family, intending to go north to rob Gao Qiong, but happened to meet Wu Liang, the Mongolian general who destroyed Dali Kingdom on the way, and attempted to assassinate him, but failed.The Zhang family is anxious to capture Gao Changshou, in order to dispel Wuliang's anger.If not, maybe the Zhang family will say that I, Da Song, ordered it.

Mongolia was just looking for an excuse to go south, didn't this just give them a handle?These Dali people acted recklessly and caused a catastrophe, but let me, Da Song, bear the consequences?I don't care if you let Gao Changshou go on purpose last night.Bring people back, understand? "

Lu Fengtai said: "Commander, I really didn't mean to..."

"Needless to say." He Ding said: "Catch him back. The envoy also attaches great importance to this matter, and Zhang Rongzhi is not trying to scare us."

"Yes……"

When He Ding walked away, Lu Fengtai still stood there with his arms crossed. After a long time, he turned around, straightened his back, and walked towards the teahouse behind the Taiping Inn.

Standing on the teahouse and looking over, I saw Li Xia tirelessly exercising again in the yard of the inn, as if he had inexhaustible physical strength.

But Lu Fengtai knew that Li Xia was not physically strong, but strong-willed.

"Dutou." Fan San came up and said, "They didn't leave overnight last night, and they rested in the inn all night, I have been watching."

Lu Fengtai asked: "Is Nie Ping back?"

"No."

"Where are the people from the British Society?"

"They all broke up. They probably really don't know where Gao Changshou went."

Lu Fengtai said: "Well, it's impossible for Nie Zhongyou to tell them this kind of thing."

"How about we just arrest Nie Zhongyou and interrogate him?"

"We can't catch him, his backer is bigger than our backer."

Fan San was silent, thinking that he could be caught if he wanted to, but he had to kill all the others... But the problem was that he ran away from Nie Ping, and he couldn't hide it in the end.

Lu Fengtai asked: "Did Li Xia go out for a run this morning?"

"No." Fan San said: "What does Dutou mean to arrest him for interrogation? We can lock him in the dark room he arranged, maybe we can find out something."

"Well, as soon as one of them orders."

Lu Fengtai said, then sighed again: "But I think only Nie Zhongyou knows where Gao Changshou is. There are only two possibilities, one is that Gao Changshou should go south to join Lu Wende; the other is to hide somewhere and wait to meet Nie Zhongyou. Converge, and plan to go north again."

"Go north again? He still dares?"

"Last night, the commander sent cavalry to search in all directions, but he didn't see a single person. It may be the second situation. Then there is still a chance. They walked north from Luzhou and went everywhere before crossing the Huaihe River. They are all our people, we can take Gao Changshou as soon as he shows up."

"Yes, as long as they are still on the right side of the Huai River, they cannot escape."

Lu Fengtai murmured: "I don't understand, just like this, how dare Nie Zhongyou go north..."

~~
"We can't go north yet." Li Xia said while doing push-ups.

Nie Zhongyou asked: "Why?"

"Lu Fengtai knows that Gao Changshou was rescued by us, and that from Luzhou to the north is their sphere of influence, and he has been monitoring them all the way."

Nie Zhongyou said: "They dare not do anything."

Li Xia said: "After crossing the Huaihe River? We crossed the Huaihe River and were killed by the Mongolian people. You can't blame them for your backing."

"After crossing the Huai River, we will have a new identity."

"No, it's too hasty. This journey is under the noses of others. There is not enough time for us to change our identities."

"What do you mean?"

Li Xia stopped, stood up, looked up at the tea house, and said, "They dare not do anything, so let's do it..."
