Chapter 172
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu. On the first day of the year, the entire capital is filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Only when the old emperor and Jin Yiwei stop torturing, can the people in Beijing live in peace. On New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers rang all night long. On the morning of the first day of the new year, Lu Hanjiang got up from the table yawning. He has big dark circles under his eyes, and he is lying on the table talking in his sleep.

The family structure of the Lu family is very simple, so simple that it can be summed up clearly in one sentence, that is, the master has one person and dozens of servants.

Lu Hanjiang didn't have a family or siblings. Therefore, in order not to live too deserted on New Year's Eve in previous years, it may be that Mr. Meng always called him to his home to watch the new year because he saw how pitiful he was alone.

This year is different, Shang Luo is also in the capital, and this girl ran to him without a fuss, so Lu Hanjiang didn't go to Mr. Meng to chatter.

For those who celebrate the new year, the servants also relaxed and went to watch the new year together, while Lu Hanjiang chatted with Shang Luo all over the world to relieve boredom, while Lao Qian worked harder and waited on them by the side.

Lu Hanjiang's biological clock is very punctual, he fell asleep just after Haishi, and Shang Luo couldn't wake up after pushing. He heard from Lao Qian that this girl didn't fall asleep until she was ugly last night.

Lu Hanjiang got up from his seat and stretched his waist. The time had passed, and he could hear the festive sounds in the city from far away. On the Lunar New Year's Day, when it was the most noisy time, he just wanted to stay at home.

Going out to the courtyard, Lu Hanjiang bumped into a little girl with double buns, holding a lot of food in her arms, when the two met each other, the joy on the little girl's face froze immediately, she knocked After paying respects to Lu Hanjiang, he quickly ran away.

This girl is another "Shang Luo" that Lu Hanjiang brought back from Huashan. I don't know how the sleeping guy in the room persuaded these two little guys to make them all go to Lu Hanjiang's house for the New Year. I knew these two little ones before, but when I saw him, I had to hide far away.

"master."

Old Qian came forward with a happy face, and the two exchanged New Year's greetings. Lu Hanjiang and him were masters and servants in name, but in fact they treated each other as uncles and nephews, so the New Year's greetings were different from others.

Lu Hanjiang saw a group of servants standing in the outer courtyard, so he said to Lao Qian, "As in previous years, Lao Qian, you can go and give everyone the regular money."

"Understood, master," Old Qian asked after answering, "Is this amount still the same as in previous years?"

Lu Hanjiang thought for a while, and said, "It's going to double this year. They've all been promoted to town governors, and they haven't celebrated anything seriously."

After finishing speaking, he instructed again: "Master Lu's annual ceremony is still delivered by you, and Master Meng, then I will go by myself."

"Old slave understands." Old Qian stepped back in response.

Lu Hanjiang went to eat breakfast by himself. After all, it was the first day of junior high school, so he was more particular about what he ate, so it was hard for him not to suspect that the other party was here for a meal.

"Humble job, I wish you all the best." Probably seeing the rice cakes on the table, Bian Guang said this with a smile on his face.

Lu Hanjiang pointed to the seat at the edge of the dining table and told him to sit down: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Thank you for your concern, I used it before I left the house." Although it was true, Bian Guang still took the rice cake that Lu Hanjiang handed him, thanked him and ate it.

They are all on their own, and Lu Hanjiang didn't bother to care about those superficial etiquette. He asked casually while eating breakfast: "You came to see me so early, what's the matter?"

After Bian Guang swallowed the rice cake, he said, "There is one more thing besides wishing the lord the new year. The letter from Ji Baihu arrived this morning. Because the lord specifically told me, I took it and delivered it."

Naturally, coming to New Year's greetings will not be empty-handed, but the old money must be responsible for collecting all the things, so they won't be brought to the dinner table. Just now Lu Hanjiang wondered why Bian Guang was still holding a wooden box in his hand. It turned out to be Huangfu Xiaoyuan's heirloom. letter.

Since the last time Ying Tianfu met Taoist Wuwei and the gang of beggars, Huangfu Xiaoyuan has been following them to collect information, and has not been able to return to Beijing until today. Many people in the yamen repeatedly praised her dedicated attitude.

As for whether Huangfu Xiaoyuan is for Jin Yiwei's work or for someone else, then Lu Hanjiang just turn a blind eye, since the information is in hand anyway.

He wiped his handles, opened the box and took out the letter. Huangfu Xiaoyuan used concise words, and the letter didn't contain much content. In summary, she was still following the beggar gang and did not gain much for now.

The letter also indicated the direction of the beggars' gang. Lu Hanjiang made a simple calculation in his mind, and it was roughly in the direction of Miaojiang.

It seems that the intelligence capabilities of the Beggar Gang are not bad, and there is no mistake in the general direction. Huangfu Yushu, who was fooled by Lu Hanjiang, has chosen to capture Xuehua Palace Linglong, so he must have gone to Miaojiang to find the poisonous man.

But when he looked down, Lu Hanjiang's eyes gradually became sharper. Bian Guang noticed the change, and quickly asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Lu Hanjiang didn't speak, but handed him the letter paper, Bian Guang took it and scanned it, and said in surprise: "People from Xuantian Sect also appear in Miaojiang?"

The more Lu Hanjiang got in touch with Xuantian Sect, the lingering demonic sect, the more he was sure that there must be hidden forces in this demonic sect that Huangfu Linger could rely on.

No matter how fierce the battle in the court is, the methods and results are predictable, in other words, they are all controllable, but His Royal Highness Yu and the Crown Princess hide their backs in the Jianghu, which is relatively unfriendly up.

The game against Huangfu Ling'er was a long-awaited drama for Lu Hanjiang, so even if the Xuantian Sect that got in the way couldn't be removed, it couldn't make them feel too comfortable.

Thinking of this, Lu Hanjiang asked again: "Is there any news from Cui Yixiao?"

"Cui Baihu sent a letter back a few years ago, saying that he had found a clue. According to the date on the letter, if it goes well, he should already be in the Valley of Death by this time." Bian Guang analyzed.

Lu Hanjiang rubbed his chin, thought for a while and said, "Cui Baihu is a smart person. If he was not absolutely sure, he would not mention these things in his letter. Presumably the result should be smooth."

"Good regards, my lord."

Bian Guang watched Lu Hanjiang think for a moment, but then made up his mind. He only listened to him and said, "Let's go down and arrange people to secretly search for traces of the Xuantian Sect in southern Xinjiang, as well as the beggar gang. I remember that old beggar. Not dead yet."

"My lord, are you talking about Liang Benlang? This old man heard that a while ago, he was showing his power in the Northland and killed many masters of the devil."

The Liang Benlang mentioned by Bian Guang is the leader of the beggar gang. If we were to make a list of the leaders of the various sects in Jianghu with their sense of responsibility, then this old man would definitely be the last one.

Liang Benlang has never been in charge of anything since his first day as the leader of the Beggar Gang. He was stunned when he left his hands as the shopkeeper. There is no time to take care of things in the gang, even if it is a little thing.

The intelligence ability of the beggar gang is so outstanding, half of it is due to the leader of the gang who likes to run around. The disciples of other sects are looking for their own masters, but they just pass on the information, and the beggar gang wants to find Liang Ben. Lang, if you don't spend ten days and a half months searching around, I'm afraid there will be no results.

It can be said that Yan Fengyun was able to earn a reputation as a "hero" with the status of the deputy leader, and it is not unrelated to the leader of the hands-off leader. Now, apart from not having a dog-beating stick to prove his identity, Yan Fengyun is considered the leader of the beggar gang, not the leader of the gang. up.

However, Liang Benlang was elected by the elders of the beggar gang at the beginning, even if he didn't care about the matter, they chose it by themselves. Besides, this old man has no bad character besides not doing business. So for so many years, the beggars can only hold their noses and bear it.

These are all trifles in the world, but after listening to Lu Hanjiang's ulterior motives, Bian Guang suddenly asked worriedly: "My lord, do you want to go to Miaojiang?"
