Chapter 133 Borrowing the Power of the Enemy
Legend has it that in Dali, Yunnan, there was such a reincarnated god-man of the God of Wealth. He rode a small white donkey with two satchels on the donkey's back, gold ingots in the left and silver ingots in the right. Wherever it is scattered, no amount of gold ingots can be scattered, nor can silver ingots be scattered.When he walks there, he just points there, and you have to pick up your hoe and dig down. There are a lot of big ingots waiting for you in the underground.If he smiles at you, then your business will definitely be prosperous, and the goods will be in rotation; the farming will be smooth and the harvest will be good every year.

The reincarnation of God of Wealth is of course called Lu Yifeng, Fatty Lu, or Sanhao Lu, and now there is another title called God of Wealth.

Believe it or not, the legend is believed by the soldiers and civilians in Nanning Prefecture, as well as the dignitaries in Guangdong and Guangxi.Because they saw with their own eyes, how Fatty Lu found a huge silver mine in the Fenghuang mountain area where birds do not lay eggs, rabbits do not shit, and is full of thorns and poisonous snakes. The purity of the silver ore is as high as all No one in the world has ever seen the transformation of worthless barren mountains and wild mountains into a treasure land with every inch of land and every inch of gold!If such a miracle had not been witnessed with his own eyes, who would dare to believe it?

Let’s put it this way, even if Fatty Lu told the truth and admitted that he made an oolong, he originally planned to find a tin mine but found a silver mine by mistake. I don't want to believe it anymore - who are you kidding?Looking for tin mines turned into silver mines, why don't you say that the Eight Banners drug cream you planted in Qujing back then was actually planting some flowers and plants for pleasing to the eye?
It is also for this reason that Fatty Lu brazenly recited this honor, acquiescing that he came to Phoenix Mountain to find silver mines, and even more acquiescing that what he is wearing is not fat, but gold and silver treasures all over his body , Wherever you go, you can scatter a lot of money.The military and civilian officials in Nanning and the dignitaries in Guangdong and Guangxi even worshiped Fatty Lu as a god, so that when Fatty Lu left Fenghuang Mountain and returned to Nanning City, he had no chance to touch the ground with his feet all the way, and he was completely controlled by the people of Nanning. carried back to the city.

Fatty Lu is not good at mining, and he is powerless to help Nanning's army and civilians develop the Phoenix Mountain silver mine. Experts in this field go to develop silver mines—anyway, the silver mined and refined can be paid directly as wages, and some experts in this field and skilled technicians recommend themselves.At the same time, the big parents and officials in Guangdong and Guangxi, such as Jin Guangzu, Ma Xiongzhen and Ma Xiong, will also provide the most powerful assistance, regardless of manpower and material resources, and the Nanning garrison has been owed nearly five months of military pay And food and grass, naturally they and private wealthy businessmen rushed to pay in advance-anyway, I am not afraid that the line family father and son and the Nanning garrison will not be able to pay it back.

In a word, although the huge silver mine of Phoenix Mountain has just been discovered, all the difficulties of the Nanning garrison have been solved, and the people of Nanning have seen the dawn of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. From now on, the Nanning garrison basically no longer needs it Worrying about the issue of food and salary, the only thing to worry about is how to meet the extortion from the boss, and how to meet the salivation of the Qing court and Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen.

After returning to Nanning City, before the follow-up issues were exposed, the Nanning military and civilians and the line family father and son were of course still in ecstasy, but our poor Fatty Lu was already surrounded by countless troubles, Jin Guangzu, Ma Xiongzhen Together with Ma Xiong and other officials from Guangxi, as well as Fatty Lu's official wife-in-law, Shang Zhijie, and the old man's confidant, Huang Zhangsi, they teamed up to surround Fatty Lu all day long. Crying blood, the purpose is to let Fatty Lu, the Living God of Wealth, leave Yunnan and go to our territory to help us make a fortune, make a fortune!

Finally, he used the excuse that he was too tired to temporarily send away the gang of wolves and hungry tigers, and answered them to let him think about it for one night, but just after sending these people back to the post to rest, Fatty Lu was immediately greeted by the extremely excited Zhu Fangdan, Hong Xiguan and Line. Surrounded by Qiyu, they scrambled to ask Fatty Lu about the process of prospecting, and asked how Fatty Lu discovered this huge silver mine. When Fatty Lu brazenly claimed that he discovered the silver mine by studying and learning, Line Qiyu immediately pulled Lu The fat man begged with his sleeves, "Sir, starting from tomorrow, can you teach me these knowledge yourself? Your knowledge is too powerful. I heard that you found this silver mine. Half of my father's illness will be cured immediately. I can move down."

"Let's talk about it slowly." Fatty Lu patted Line Qiyu's little head, and said with a smile: "You are still learning to crawl, and when you learn how to walk, I will teach you how to fly."

"Should I talk slowly? I have memorized both "San Zi Jing" and "Hundred Family Surnames." Line Qiyu protested loudly.

"Then can you silently write both the Three Character Classic and Hundred Surnames?" Fatty Lu asked with a smile.

Line Qiyu was speechless, and after a while he said: "There are more than half of the characters, I can only memorize them, but I can't write them."

"Then it's over?" Fatty Lu, the dereliction of duty teacher, patted the little devil's head again, and said with a smile: "You can't even write the words completely now, and you haven't fully learned the most basic ones, so how can you learn the profound ones? Take your time. Come on, don't worry, when you have learned how to write all the new characters and laid the foundation, I will start teaching you more profound ones myself."

"But... Mr. Lu, how long will you stay in Nanning?" Rong Qiyu suddenly said, "I heard from my father and elder brother that you may be leaving Nanning soon, and you won't teach me anymore."

"Oh, what did they say? When did they say it?" Fatty Lu asked curiously.

"They said it this afternoon." Line Qiyu said with his head down: "My brother told my father that there are many high-ranking officials who want to invite you away, and we may not be able to keep you at home. My father said Mr. If you are willing to leave, our line family will never stop you. If you are willing to stay, our line family must treat you well. Later I...my brother said again that he wanted to keep you and let you stay in Nanning longer For a while, I even said that I would repay you well."

Speaking of this, Line Qiyu raised his head again, and said very sincerely: "Mr. Lu, can you stay? I will definitely listen to you in the future, study hard and practice martial arts, and stop messing around. My brother and I , and I will definitely repay you well.”

"Repay well? How do you repay?" Fatty Lu asked casually with a smile.

"I..., I...." Line Qiyu rolled his eyes a few times, and said in a low voice, "I'll find a beautiful woman for you, sir. I've heard people say that sir, you like beautiful women the most. At that time, I even abducted the beautiful little Princess from Pingnan Palace. I can guarantee that the big beauty I found for you is definitely the most beautiful beauty in the world."

"Bastard boy, you already know about sexual bribery at such a young age!" Fatty Lu raised his hand and flicked Line Qiyu to shudder, and feigned anger, "How dare you say that your teacher is lustful? How dare you use this to curry favor with your Mr. Zhu?" Almost, your Teacher Lu doesn't want it!"

"Mr. Zhu?" Line Qiyu looked back at Zhu Fangdan who was full of smiles, shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Zhu is too old, she definitely doesn't like it, but Mr. Lu, you are about the same age as her, she definitely wants it."

"Bastard boy, dare you say that I am old? Does it mean that you don't even want to learn "San Zi Jing" and "Hundred Family Surnames"?" Zhu Fangdan feigned anger this time, and shouted: "Go and call the beauty you mentioned, I want to ask her face to face, am I old or not? Also, who is more handsome between me and your teacher Lu?"

"Then I'll ask her to see if she is willing to come here to choose you." After all, Rong Qiyu was still a child, and said Mr. Lu, you must not leave, I will ask her, and then walked out quickly room, leaving Fatty Lu and others laughing in the room.

After laughing, seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Zhu Fangdan asked Xiao Erlang, Hong Xiguan, and Fang Shiyu to guard the door to prevent outsiders from approaching and eavesdropping. Then he lowered his voice and said to Fatty Lu: "Master, In order to repay the line family's kindness to take in, you made such a big commotion in Nanning, will it cause some unexpected consequences? Affect your plan to return to Qujing?"

"I'm also worried about this." Fatty Lu nodded, frowning and said: "If I remembered earlier that Phoenix Mountain is not a tin mine, but a huge silver mine, then I have to weigh the consequences first, and then decide to sell it. Don't sell this great favor to the father and son of the Line family."

"This favor is indeed too great, to the point where anyone has to salivate." Zhu Fangdan also nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "And what the students are worried about is that this favor has reached the point where the father and son of the Line family can't accept it. Whether it is the court or Kong Sizhen, they will never see the line family father and son taking this favor to themselves, they will either find a way to share the bulk, or find a way to drive the line family away from Nanning, and take this great favor to themselves."

"Of course, if the father and son of the Line family think that relying on the Phoenix Mountain silver mine, they can ensure that their army will have no worries about food and wages in the future, then they are very wrong." Fatty Lu sneered, and said in a low voice: "They are now The smartest way is to quickly find a big backer in the imperial court and give up more than half of the benefits, so that they can eat leftovers. Otherwise, if they want to eat alone or the backer is not strong enough, the only result is chicken flying eggs, what? If you can’t get it, you can help someone else make a wedding dress for nothing.”

"That's the truth. It's been like this since ancient times. A man is innocent, but he is guilty." Zhu Fangdan deeply agreed, and asked again: "Then do you want a good man to do it to the end, and give advice to the father and son of the Line family?"

Fatty Lu stopped talking, just looked at Zhu Fangdan up and down with a smile, Zhu Fangdan was so confused that he almost suspected that there was something dirty on his face, after a while, Zhu Fangdan patted his forehead again, and said angrily : "The student is really getting more and more regressed. After so many years with the boss, why do you still say such stupid things?"

"Of course, the Line family is good to us, and we can't just watch them fall into the well and not help them." Fatty Lu, who has always been a wolf-hearted man, suddenly showed mercy once in a while, and said, "Well, you will help me later." Draft a letter to the lord, and report to the lord the matter of the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine in detail. Remember, you must write down the reserves of the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine! Will the lord extend a helping hand to the Line family? Let’s not worry about whether the line family is willing to accept the help of the lord, how to accept the help of the lord, it’s easy to offend people.”

"Student understands." Zhu Fangdan answered comprehendingly: "Such an important issue, let the prince and the line family have a headache. Anyway, the master, you are the number one hero. No matter who eats this silver mine, the master you will be indispensable in the end." One portion, there is no need to mix it up."

Speaking of this, Zhu Fangdan couldn't help but smirked, and added: "And what's even better is that no matter whether this silver mine fell into the hands of the prince or the Lan family, they all had a bad relationship with Kong Si bitch. If you want to share the hatred of the sky, you can't do it without completely tearing your face."

"Smart, Master Zhu really has made a lot of progress." Fatty Lu praised him, then lightly hammered his forehead, and sighed: "My lord and we are our own people, so we can open up and speak clearly about everything, so This matter is easy to handle, but the imperial court, I really have a headache. I am worried now, even if our pockmarked emperor dispels all doubts about me, he will never let me go back to Yunnan gone."

"This is exactly what the students are most worried about." Zhu Fangdan said nervously: "Master, your talent is so outstanding, even if our Mazi Emperor no longer suspects you, he will worry about helping the prince again by releasing you back to Yunnan, and even Worrying about your boss throwing your life in Yunnan and wasting your talent in vain, so I refuse to send you back to Yunnan.”

Fatty Lu continued to slap his forehead lightly, and murmured: "If this is the case, then I can only stay in Guangxi and wait for the limelight to pass before returning to Yunnan. But in this way, if the conflict between the prince and the court suddenly intensifies during this period It may be too late for me to rush back to Kunming, and it will be difficult for me to regain control of the direct line of Qujing Luying. Also, how should I explain to Pingnan Palace, Pingnan Palace is Wanyi's natal family after all? , They recognize me as a son-in-law and invite me back to my father-in-law's house, if I insist on refusing, how can I explain to Wanyi?"

"Boss, there is one more thing." Zhu Fangdan reminded: "If you insist on not leaving Guangxi, which is adjacent to Yunnan, or accepting other official positions appointed by the court and Emperor Mazi, I'm afraid some people will become suspicious again."

Fatty Lu didn't answer, and nodded after a long while to express his agreement with this point of view, then suddenly slapped the table again, and said bitterly: "The key is that bitch Kong Sizhen, if she doesn't flirt in front of Emperor Mazi and leads a group of The face-to-face servant is fanning the flames. From such a long distance, how can Emperor Mazi always pay attention to me so much? One day, I will let that bitch of Kongsi try the Western stake punishment, so that she will be completely happy to death! "

"My boss is right. If that bitch Kong Sizhen hadn't fanned the flames, Emperor Mazi would never have paid so much attention to you! There are hundreds of counties across the country, and Emperor Mazi has put so much energy into paying attention to you, the county magistrate of Qujing?" Zhu Fangdan He agreed, and said: "It's a pity that Wang Xu and Wang Zongxian failed to completely bring down Kong Si bitch last time, and even brought Kong Si bitch back to the capital inadvertently! Otherwise, Emperor Mazi might have forgotten about you. Whoever it is, you can relax a lot, boss."

"Of course it is impossible for Wang Xu to bring down that bitch Kong Si." Fatty Lu snorted coldly: "Bitch Kong Si is really important to Emperor Mazi, and the Guangxi she controls can directly threaten the hinterland of Yungui, the prince. , and can cut off the connection between the prince and Guangdong and Fujian. How dare Emperor Mazi let other people come to such an important place? Also, the bitch Kong Si is still in charge of the thirteen yamen, secretly monitoring Obai, the prince and others on behalf of Emperor Mazi. The movements of the vassal princes and officials all over the world, is Emperor Mazi willing to let her fall?"

Speaking of this, Fatty Lu suddenly felt his heart move, and blurted out: "Huh? How did I forget this?"

"Boss, what did you forget?" Zhu Fangdan asked curiously.

Fatty Lu didn't answer in a hurry, and waved his hand to stop Zhu Fangdan from interrupting his train of thought. After pondering for a long time, Fatty Lu said slowly: "I forgot a very important point, since bitch Kongsi is the absolute confidant of Emperor Mazi, and she is She will never be brought down, and she is irreconcilable with us—then why don't I use her strength to let me return to Yunnan, and at the same time make Emperor Mazi no longer suspect me?"

"Boss, are you out of your mind?" Zhu Fangdan asked in amazement: "Bitch Kong Si is our sworn enemy, so you still want to use her power to get you back to Yunnan? Let Emperor Mazi no longer be suspicious of you?"

"Master Zhu, if you were Kong Sizhen." Fatty Lu asked a little excitedly, "Then under what circumstances would you let my deadly enemy go back to Yunnan? And under what circumstances would you let Emperor Mazi no longer Pay attention to me and let me fend for myself in Yunnan?"

"Under what circumstances? Let my master go back to Yunnan and let Emperor Mazi stop paying attention to you? Is it possible?" Zhu Fangdan was even more confused, and said, "My master, your talent is as eye-catching as a volcano in the dark. Emperor Mazi How could I not notice you?"

"No need to flatter." Fatty Lu shook his head resolutely, and said, "What I'm asking you now is, if you were Kong Sizhen, under what circumstances would you try every means to persuade Emperor Mazi to release me back to Yunnan, and then let me fend for myself in Yunnan? , never come to provoke me again?"

Fatty Lu's question was really too difficult to answer, Zhu Fangdan made a bitter face, and after careful consideration for a long time, Zhu Fangdan hesitated and said: "Unless..., unless..., if the student is Kong Sizhen, unless the boss, if you don't come back In Yunnan, the students will be killed, and the students will persuade Emperor Mazi to release you back to Yunnan. Also, if the boss leaves Yunnan, you may threaten the heads of the students, so the students will try their best to stop you Leave Yunnan, and let the owner fend for himself in Yunnan."

Fatty Lu's face was serious. After careful consideration for a long time, Fatty Lu slapped the table again and said, "There is a way! Master Zhu, you are right, unless I am only in Yunnan, I will not threaten her Kongsi bitch's head and Only because of the benefits, she will try every means to get me back to Yunnan! As long as we grasp this vital point, we will have a solution!"

"Boss, what's a good idea?" Zhu Fangdan asked impatiently.

Fatty Lu smiled and waved his hands, signaling to Zhu Fangdan to be calm, and after thinking for a long time, Fatty Lu said slowly: "Master Zhu, can you draw?"

"Danqing?" Zhu Fangdan was taken aback, scratched his head and replied, "I know a little bit, but I'm not very proficient."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can draw, please work hard, Master Zhu, and draw two paintings for me tonight." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice, "The content of the painting is very simple. For the first painting, please ask Master to draw three people. One is dressed as a prince and holds a weapon in his hand. The second person draws a fat county magistrate, holding his hand in front of the prince. The third person is a woman, standing behind the county magistrate, holding a knife in his hand, and stabs the prince. the county magistrate's back."

"For the second painting, I still draw these three people, but the woman has to be painted lying on the ground without her head. Then the fat county magistrate also has a weapon in his hand, fighting with the prince who is holding a weapon. Well, just These are enough, as long as the clothing features of the people in the painting are obvious, the face can be blurred, and the prince can even turn his face away, which will save trouble."

"Understood, don't worry, my master, tomorrow morning, you can get those two paintings in safekeeping." Zhu Fangdan was not stupid, and immediately understood Fatty Lu's intentions.At the end, Zhu Fangdan asked again: "However, Master, you have resigned now, what channel do you plan to use to send these two paintings to Emperor Mazi?"

"This is too easy." Fatty Lu smiled and said, "Master Zhu forgot, there are several high court officials who can help us deliver these two paintings to Emperor Mazi in Nanning City. Yes, they are also an important part of my plan, don't they want me to help them make a fortune and make a fortune? If you don't sell me some power, why should I help them?"
