Chapter 285 Methods
"Lord Lu, why do you have to ask the prime minister about food and grass! Can't you just go to the emperor?"

After walking out of the room of Minister of War, Yang Guo was a little puzzled, and asked Lu Wenhuan beside him.

"Yang Shaoxia, you don't know something! Now the Yellow Emperor Zhao Gang is only eight years old, just a boy with yellow hair. Now all the power of the court is controlled by Prime Minister Jia Sidao!" Lu Wenhuan explained.

"So that's it! Could it be that all the ministers in the court are willing to listen to that prime minister?"

Yang Guo nodded and asked again.

Lu Wenhuan: "When the first emperor was still there, he valued Jia Sidao very much and made him the prime minister. After he became the prime minister, he began to form cliques for personal gain. Until the new emperor ascended the throne, more than half of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty were with him. If there is a relationship, naturally I will not oppose him!"

Yang Guo: "Then why is he unwilling to give us food and grass in Xiangyang? Is there any quarrel between Mr. Lu and him?"

Lu Wenhuan: "There is nothing wrong with it. As for why he is unwilling to give food and grass, then I don't know!"

Listening to Lu Wenhuan's words, Yang Guo also roughly understood.

Several people also walked towards Prime Minister Jia Sidao's official residence at this time.

When he came to the door of the other party, he was directly stopped by the guard at the door.

"Who are you? Don't you know what this place is?" asked the guard at the door.

"I am Lu Wenhuan, the guard of Xiangyang. If I need to see Prime Minister Jia, please inform me!" Lu Wenhuan replied.

"You are Mr. Lu from Xiangyang? Mr. Lu guards Xiangyang, why did you come to Lin'an? Don't talk nonsense here! Get out of here? If you don't leave, be careful and I will arrest you!" The guard at the gate didn't believe Lu Wenhuan's words.

"Hmph! You, a little guard, dare to arrest me? Hurry up and get out of the way! I have something to ask Prime Minister Jia!" Seeing that the guard questioned himself, Lu Wenhuan scolded him in a single session.

"You say that you are Master Lu, or Master Lu? Do you have any basis? Why should I trust you?"

The guard glanced at Lu Wenhuan. Although the opponent looked mighty and indeed looked like a general, after all he had never met Lu Wenhuan, so he still didn't believe it.

"Hmph! Look after you!"

Hearing what the guard said, Lu Wenhuan snorted coldly, and had no choice but to take out his official badge and throw it at the guard at the door.

The guard took the official card and looked at it, finally confirming Lu Wenhuan's identity.

"Master Lu, what is the matter with the Prime Minister?" The guard still did not let him go easily, nor did he go in to report.

"How can you talk nonsense about important matters in the court, hurry up and inform Prime Minister Jia!" Lu Wenhuan scolded.

"Lord Lu, the prime minister has an order. If there is anything, we can discuss it in the morning. Please come back, Lord Lu!" The guard at the gate still refused Lu Wenhuan and planned to let him leave.

"Military affairs are urgent. If the military situation is delayed, can you afford it?" Seeing the other party's refusal, Lu Wenhuan immediately scolded.

"The Prime Minister has said that, no one should disturb the Prime Minister! Please go back, Your Excellency!" The guards were still emphatic and unwilling to let him go.

"Humph!"

Lu Wenhuan snorted coldly, quite helplessly, he couldn't do anything, so he turned around and left.

"Lord Lu, are we going to leave like this?" Seeing Lu Wenhuan leave, Yang Guo felt a little unwilling.

"Prime Minister Jia is willing to meet, what can we do?" Lu Wenhuan had no choice but to be rejected.

"Can't you go find someone else?" Yang Guo asked again.

"It's useless to find someone else! The distribution of grain and grass still needs to be approved by the prime minister!" Lu Wenhuan said again.

"Hey!"

It was a waste of time, Yang Guo also sighed at this time.

Just as they were about to leave, they met Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

"Lord Lu, you didn't guard Xiangyang, why did you come here?" Looking at Lu Wenhuan who was about to drive, Wen Tianxiang was quite surprised.

"Master Wen, I can't help it either! Xiangyang's [-] troops have not distributed food and grass for several months, and I have come to ask the Prime Minister for food and salary!" Lu Wenhuan replied.

"Ask for food and salary? Then Mr. Lu may return without success this time!" Wen Tianxiang glanced at Lu Wenhuan and said.

"How does Mr. Wen say this?" Lu Wenhuan was puzzled.

"There have been wars all these years, and now the national treasury is tight. There is not much surplus food, and I am afraid that there is no way to pay the military salary!" Wen Tianxiang told the truth.

"There is no military pay? Then how do we guard Xiangyang? Could it be that we can let my [-] troops eat the soil?" Lu Wenhuan glanced at Wen Tianxiang, and he couldn't believe it.

"It's up to Mr. Lu to figure it out! Mr. Prime Minister has been prime minister for so many years. I believe he should have a lot of private property. It depends on Mr. Lu's ability to get it out of his pocket!" Wen Tianxiang said again.

Jia Sidao has been prime minister for so many years, and corruption is naturally a common occurrence.Wen Tianxiang has always been dissatisfied with Jia Sidao's behavior, but the other party's power is above his, even if he is dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do.

"Thank you, Master Wen! I see!"

Lu Wenhuan glanced at Wen Tianxiang and had the answer in his heart, the military salary still had to be obtained from the prime minister.

Since Jia Sidao didn't want to see him, he had to think of other ways.

Although Yang Guo next to him didn't know Wen Tianxiang, he could hear the meaning from the other person's words, that Jia Sidao was rich.

"Lord Lu, since Jia Sidao doesn't want to see us, he probably won't be willing to give it away even if he has money!"

After Wen Tianxiang left, Yang Guo said something.

"That's right, if the national treasury is really short, we won't be able to get food and grass!"

Lu Wenhuan nodded, if the treasury had surplus food, there would be no shortage of food for him.

"Then what should we do?" Wu Santong next to him also asked.

"How about this, since he doesn't want to give it, then we can take it ourselves!" Yang Guo thought for a while and suggested.

"Take it yourself?" Lu Wenhuan glanced at Yang Guo with some doubts.

"Let's go to Jia's house tonight, how about going to ask for it in person?" Yang Guo said.

"Okay! Go see Prime Minister Jia first tonight, and find out what he has to say." Lu Wenhuan thought for a while and agreed with Yang Guo's decision.

It was night, Yang Guo, Lu Wenhuan and Wu Santong didn't sleep, they quietly walked towards Jia's mansion along the streets of Lin'an.

Since Jia Sidao didn't want to see him, he had no choice but to come to the door in person.

"Yang Shaoxia, brother Wu, Jia's mansion is heavily guarded, we'd better be careful!" Lu Wenhuan said on the road.

He is the general guarding one side, but he has never done such a thing.

"Yes! We know!" Yang Guo nodded.

The three of them arrived at the gate of Jia's mansion smoothly. At this time, the inside and outside of Jia's mansion were still brightly lit, and many guards were patrolling inside.

"I'll go in and have a look first, you are waiting for me here!" Yang Guo decided to go in and search first.

"I'll go in with you!" Wu Santong also planned to follow in at this time.

"No need, it's easy to be discovered if there are too many people! Just wait for me here!" Yang Guo rejected Wu Santong's proposal.

"Okay! Yang Shaoxia, then be careful!" Lu Wenhuan nodded, agreeing to the decision.

"Ok, I know!"

After Yang Guo finished speaking, he turned over and jumped onto the wall.
