Chapter 95 Routines
The poisonous salt incident has finally calmed down a bit because no new people have been poisoned recently.

But common people like Xu Daniu, whose family members were poisoned and died, still squatted in front of the county government office full of resentment, demanding an explanation.

Liu Xuan had to avoid seeing him for the time being.

Such a big event happened in the city, but it had no impact on the aristocratic families in Guangling.

Have fun when it's time, eat and drink when it's time.

On the fifth day of November, the temple market of Qingyun Temple in Guangling City was crowded with people.
Many young talents from aristocratic families gather here, and of course there are also many wealthy women who come to visit the market.

Chen Cong's concubine Su Shi was a frequent visitor to the temple market.

Su was in her early twenties and was born in Goulan. Because of her excellent figure and dancing skills, she was adopted as a concubine by Chen Cong.

Chen Cong was over fifty. Although he doted on Su, he often left Su feeling empty because of his powerlessness.

Therefore, strolling around the temple market and looking at young talents became a good place for Su to relieve his loneliness.

Su Shi wandered around the temple market and was soon attracted by a man.

The man was born powerful and strong. Although his face was not very delicate, it was sharp-edged and extremely heroic. He exuded a charm that made Su's body and mind itch.

Su Shi only glanced at it and couldn't move her eyes away.

Seeing that the man had a sad look on his face even though he was visiting the temple market, Mrs. Su sent the two personal maids away, then twisted her waist and walked towards the man.

Mrs. Su walked to the man's side, stumbled cleverly, and fell towards the man.
"Ouch~" Su Shi said coquettishly, and the man also cooperated by putting his arm around Su Shi's waist and holding her firmly.

"Sorry, I lost my mind at the next moment and tripped the lady."

The man bent his upper body slightly, holding Su with one hand, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, and his voice was calm and full of magnetism.

Su Shi looked at the man at such a close distance, and her heart was racing like a wild donkey.

"Thank you, strong man. I fell down accidentally."

Su Shi reluctantly got up from the man's arms,
"What's your surname, strong man? Your accent sounds like you're not from Guangling, right?"

The man hesitated for a moment and replied: "Miss, I live in Xia Lu Fang, Xia Pi Renshi."

Su Shi smiled sweetly, "Haha, I already have a family, so I'm not just a young lady."

"Oh? It's Lu who is presumptuous. I think Madam is charming, youthful and beautiful. She should be considered a daughter of a wealthy family before she leaves the palace."

A trace of regret flashed across the face of the man named Lu Fang and he said,

This little expression was noticed by Mrs. Su, and she looked at Lu Fangdao with affectionate eyes,
"Lu Langjun is really sweet-talking. What's the difference between the slave family leaving the cabinet and not leaving the cabinet? Doesn't it mean that after leaving the cabinet, Lu Langjun will dislike the slave family?"

Su pretended to be pitiful, and Lu Fang quickly said,

"No, no, madam has misunderstood. Madam is so beautiful, how dare Lu Mou say that she dislikes her."

The two exchanged glances, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

It was Su who had an idea and took the initiative to say,

"I see that Lu Langjun seems to be worried about something. There is a restaurant just ahead. Why don't you have a drink with Lu Lang to relieve your worries?"

"That's fine, then I'll disturb Madam."

Su summoned the maids and asked them to guard the door of the restaurant. She and Lu Fang entered the restaurant.

After drinking a few glasses of rice wine, Su took advantage of the wine to start flirting with Lu Fang.
For some reason, Su Shi's heart was completely fascinated by Lu Fang. Lu Fang's casual smile seemed so charming to Su Shi.

"Lu Lang, I think you seem to have something on your mind. Do you have something to do when you come to Guangling from Xiapi?"

"Hey, Madam and I have similar interests, so I won't hide it from you," Lu Fang whispered in Su's ear,
"I came from Xiapi to seek revenge on Liu Xuan and avenge my brother."

"Liu Xuan, the prefect of Guangling?" Su said softly, covering her mouth with her hands.

"You also want to deal with Liu Xuan?" "Yes, Liu Xuan led his troops to attack Xiapi a few months ago. My two brothers were in the Xiapi army at that time, and they were both killed by Liu Xuan. I heard that he came to Guangling, and I specially Following."

After a pause, Lu Fang added, "I regard you as my confidant, please don't betray me."

Su quickly waved her hand and said: "As for Lu Lang, since you want to deal with Liu Xuan, then we are allies."

Lu Fang was overjoyed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to hold Su's little hand and said closely,

"What do you think Ma'am said?"

Su's heart trembled, and she told Lu Fang everything she knew.

After the meal was over, Mrs. Su still couldn't bear to leave, but looking at the sky, she felt that if she didn't go back, there might be suspicion in her family.

He said, "Don't be impatient, Lu Lang. Once the imperial edict arrives, Sun Ce from Jiangdong will launch an army to attack the city. By then Liu Xuan will be too busy to take care of himself, and we will have a chance."

After saying that, he stroked the back of Lu Fang's hand and said, "Lu Lang, the slave family will come to the temple market in two days. Will you come?"

Lu Fang raised his hand and rubbed Su's hand, "Of course!"

Lu Fang went out, turned several corners, and walked to a remote place.

He bent down and took some water in the pool to wipe his face.
I washed my hands carefully again.

As the makeup on his face was washed away, a domineering and resolute face was revealed. It was none other than Lu Bu.

With Zhao Liniang's current disguise skills, Lu Bu had been walking around the temple market for so long without being recognized at all.

Lu Bu took off his disguise, raised his arm, smelled his own arm, and said to himself,
"Diao Chan shouldn't be able to find it."

"Forget it, even if I'm discovered, my lord will explain it to me."

. . .

In Guangling County Mansion, Liu Xuan's face turned cold after listening to Lu Bu's report.

The aristocratic families in Guangling City are indeed willing to do whatever it takes for their own interests.

If Lu Bu hadn't been sent to take action, Liu Xuan would not have been able to get such detailed information for a while.

Lu Bu possesses charming characteristics, increased language allure, and increased attractiveness to women by 300%.

It's not a problem to deal with a concubine who was born in Goulan.

It's just that Liu Xuan didn't expect that Lu Bu would be so lethal to this concubine. The wind that Chen Cong blew on Su's pillow was blown by Lu Bu without reservation.

"My lord, according to what Su said, when the Chen family was operating a salt field, they discovered a salt field outside the city. The salt dried using a special method contains highly toxic substances."

"And this salt field is not in the salt field handed over to the government by the family this time."

"This highly toxic salt is no different in appearance and taste from ordinary salt. The salt that flows into the market is also their specific channel, so the people who were poisoned this time are all unknowing people."

"Should all the major families in Guangling know about this matter?" Liu Xuandao said.

Lu Bu replied: "Yes, this time the Family Alliance used the poisoned salt case to blame the death of the people on our inability to make salt, and they have already reported this matter to Xudu."

"According to what Su said, perhaps some of their people will make suggestions to His Majesty to revoke the title of Grand Administrator of Guangling just made by my lord and replace it with Jiangdong Sun Ce as Grand Administrator of Guangling."

Liu Xuan sneered and said: "It's a good trick to kill two birds with one stone. Using this matter as an excuse to provoke a fight between Jiangdong Sun Ce and me, Cao Cao must be happy to see this kind of thing happen."

"The Guangling family will cooperate with Sun Ce to capture Guangling. Sun Ce is grateful for their help. It is not impossible to hand over the salt and iron trade to the family again."

"Lord, I will lead my troops to destroy the salt fields, and then arrest all the noble families." Lu Bu said angrily.

"No," Liu Xuandao said, "go and notify the aristocratic families in each city, saying that the government is not operating well and wants to entrust the salt production to the major aristocratic families, and invite them to Dujiang Pavilion to negotiate."
