back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 613
According to Fatty Lu's eyes, Luo Suce is an out-and-out country bumpkin.If it was in Chang'an City, he wouldn't even take a look at such a country bumpkin, fearing that his status would lose value.But it's different now, Juzhou is his territory, and he is a local snake, even if he is a dragon, he can't suppress the local snake!
Fatty Lu is quite respectful to Luo Suce. Since the Yi family opened up in Juzhou, the population has grown a lot. Even though the Luo family's power is not that great, they are still the orthodox leaders of the Yi nationality. Governor.The people under the rule will more or less listen to him.Fatty Lu thought, if Juzhou was really as complicated as both peasants and bandits, it would be impossible to rely on the governor of Juzhou, Luo Suce, to carry out a thorough suppression of bandits.Otherwise, even if he suppresses it for three to five years, it may not be effective.

Luo Su welcomed Lu Chenhuan into the mansion politely and came to the main hall.Fatty Lu saw at a glance that the food and drink had been prepared and were steaming hot. "The general came from a long way. We don't have anything to entertain in Juzhou, so we have to prepare some water and wine. I hope the general will forgive me!" Luo Suce was polite and thoughtful, and Fatty Lu also became more polite.

"Inspector Luo is too polite!" Fatty Lu loosened his belt secretly. You must know that he has lost a lot of weight since he entered Kuizhou Road.It's just a big meal to make up for the "injured" body.

After Luo Suce invited Fatty Lu to take a seat, he graciously helped him fill a glass of wine, then filled a glass of wine himself, raised his glass and said, "I toast the general!"

Fatty Lu hadn't picked up his chopsticks to fill his stomach, and frowned slightly.But he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, so he had no choice but to hold up the wine glass and said in response: "How can this be done, I should toast the governor!"

After the two drank it down, Luo Suce persuaded: "General, please use the chopsticks!"

Fatty Lu is a little embarrassed, he can't let go of his belly.Luo Suce seemed to see his worry, and began to introduce the delicacies on the table: "General, this is silk baby, and it is a famous dish in our place."

"Oh, is that so?" Fatty Lu is so fat that he knows how to eat. He dubiously picked up a silk doll and took a bite.I just feel that I have chewed a mouthful of vegetables, but there is no meaty taste.He is a carnivorous animal, and he doesn't like meat without meat, even if this "silk baby" tastes really good, the vegetarian dishes are crisp and tender, hot and sour, refreshing, appetizing and invigorating the spleen.Fatty Lu can tell that there are shredded radish, sometimes fresh vegetables, celery, bracken, dogwood, and zheer root mixed in it.The taste is unique, but he is not used to it.

No matter what Luo Suce said, Fatty Lu still faithfully sandwiched the mutton slices.This is the famous black goat in the local area. It is not that the wool is black, but the sheepskin is black. It is extremely rare, so it is called black goat.Mutton at this time is not cheap, at least [-] yuan a catty.This black goat is even more expensive, probably worth hundreds of pennies per catty.Only Russell Ce, the governor of Juzhou, could buy so many in a hurry.

In addition to meat dishes such as mutton slices, chicken, duck and fish, there are also tofu balls, cakes, clear water soup, hot and sour soup, grilled steak...etc. Fatty Lu ate them all, Luo Suce saw them , my heart blossomed with joy.There is a saying that cannibals have short mouths and soft hands.Fatty Lu ate him a meal, so he has to sell his favor, right?

So, seeing that Fatty Lu was almost finished eating, Luo Suce just picked up a few chopsticks.During the banquet, they just frequently persuaded them to drink, and the etiquette was followed by the Central Plains.Fatty Lu later became more and more open, and almost half of the dishes on the table fell into his belly.

Luo Suce poured another glass of wine for him, and asked tentatively: "I wonder if the general came this time, but he was ordered by the emperor?"

When he asked this, it was like asking if A Niang was a woman.Isn't it the lice on the bald man's head, it's obvious!In the Dashun Dynasty, apart from the emperor and the Privy Council, who could mobilize a single soldier?
Fatty Lu was busy eating, but nodded his head without answering.Seeing that the first step has been achieved, Luo Suce became more courageous: "I don't know if the general is here on the emperor's order, but what is the errand?"

Fatty Lu swallowed hard to satisfy his food, wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said with satisfaction: "To tell you the truth, I came here by order to suppress the bandits. I'm still waiting for Luo to deal with the matter in between." A lot of cooperation from the governor!"

After hearing this, Luo Suce felt a "thud" in his heart, and secretly thought "it's broken".But he said: "The general is joking, I have been an assassin here for more than ten years, and there may not be any bandits?"

Fatty Lu stopped his chopsticks long ago, stared at Luo Suce's face for a while, and then said with a smile on his face, "I'm going to ask His Majesty and the Supervision Department. The military talisman was given by the Privy Council and His Majesty together. As for me, I just obeyed orders. Whether there is any banditry in Juzhou, I am afraid that Governor Luo has already figured it out?"

Hearing this sentence repeatedly, Luo Suce felt very embarrassed on the surface, and said with a smile: "The general was joking..."

"I'm not joking. In the past few days, I have seen a lot of scenes where you pick up a hoe and you are a farmer, but you put down a hoe and you are a gangster. If Luo Jieshi doesn't believe me, I can bring people up..."

Before Fatty Lu finished speaking, Luo Suce smiled bitterly and said, "General, stop talking..."

"So, Governor Luo knows about it?" Who is Lu Chenhuan?Don't look at him as rude on the surface, but in fact he is delicate and meticulous in his observations.Luo Suce was used to being the emperor of the land, and the intrigue in the officialdom was no match for Fatty Lu, and the truth was revealed with just one word.

"Hey! Let me tell you the truth, we in Juzhou are suffering too!" Luo Suce sighed, hesitant to speak.

"Since there is suffering, why not report to the imperial court and let the imperial court decide?" Fatty Lu has long been immune to such remarks and is not moved in the slightest.

Luo Suce poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, and then slowly said: "Juzhou is mountainous, fertile land is scarce, and the yield is not abundant. I have to do it for the sake of livelihood. If you have a conscience Who is willing to be a bandit? These people are born, and they are extremely cunning. Those who cannot be provoked are determined not to be provoked, and those who can be provoked are robbed. With a whistle, they become farmers again. Yes, I have known this for a long time. But I can have What method is it possible to arrest all the farmers?"

Lu Chenhuan also knew about this, but there was one thing he didn't know: "The green forest robber on the top of the temple nest shouldn't be like this? To tell you the truth, a big event happened in the imperial city a few days ago. It has something to do with the bandit on the top of the temple nest."

Luo Suce nodded thoughtfully: "It's the case of the Minister of War, right? I read the "Dashun Min Bao" and I know a little about it..."

Fatty Lu was a little surprised: "You also know?" He originally thought that the roads in Juzhou were not smooth, so the news must not be very well-informed.Unexpectedly, Luo Suce knew about this a long time ago. "That's right, this matter is a heartache in His Majesty's heart, and it's hard to get rid of it. Since Governor Luo knew about it, wouldn't he report it in advance?"

Luo Suce smiled wryly and said, "What do those green forest thieves have to do with me? I'm a dignified fourth-rank governor, how can I join forces with them?"
