Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46 Escape
"Hong Steward, friendship is friendship, and business is business." Lu Shu suddenly changed his expression when he heard the words, and glanced at Steward Hong coldly, saying:
"I also took a big responsibility to open up this road."

Lu Shu looked around at the crowd, and said coldly: "Everyone here, who hasn't worked in a wealthy family for more than ten years and earned a lot of money?"

"Gentlemen are either housekeepers or cashiers, which one is not rich?"

"Why, I took the risk of losing my head to show you the way, but you don't want me to earn even a little money?"

"The price is not negotiable, those who wish to come."

"If you don't want to, I will naturally not force others to make things difficult. I will do whatever I want."

"It's just that although my old Lu doesn't read much, I have heard a word."

When he said this, Lu Shu paused, with a look of disdain on his face, and stared at everyone coldly:
"If the skin doesn't exist, will Mao be safe?"

"If any of the folks is not careful and leaks the relationship between you and those wealthy families before, if it gets to the ears of the thieves."

Turning to stare at Steward Hong, he suddenly let out a long sigh with a strange voice.

"Speaking of which, I remember Mr. Hong's main family was the Zhao family?"

"Now there is nothing left, even the house has been taken over by thieves."

"Oh, it's so miserable."

When mentioning the house raiding, everyone couldn't help but shudder. They were really afraid that Lu Shu would really put down the burden and quit when he was unhappy, so they all criticized Steward Hong with one voice.

"Brother Hong, you really don't know anything. Brother Lu has helped us a lot. How can you say such a disrespectful thing?"

"I've advised you to change your temper a long time ago, but now it's a matter of life and death, but Brother Hong, you're still picky."

"Extremely extreme, Brother Lu, please take care of yourself, don't be as knowledgeable as this rotten scholar."

Seeing everyone talking non-stop and getting more and more biased, the old man surnamed Zuo showed an expression of impatience and coughed again and again, interrupting everyone's pursuit with a deep voice:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the crowd immediately stopped, and the left elder looked at Lu Shu and said:

"Twenty percent is two percent. Tomorrow, our family will send you the money. If you have settled with that side, let us know as soon as possible."

Turning his gaze, he reprimanded everyone:

"Everyone has been treated favorably by the lord's family for a long time. Now that my lord has been murdered by thieves, why are you still only caring about those petty profits?"

"The most important thing right now is to get out of the city as soon as possible, and inform the county guards and state herdsmen that it is reasonable to invite officers and soldiers to avenge the Lord!"

What he said was so righteous, but it made everyone speechless, especially the butler Hong, who felt that the other party's words were full of sarcasm.

He didn't have enough qualifications, he didn't dare to argue with this old Zuo, but he cursed secretly in his heart.

An old dog who has forgotten his ancestors, changed his surname and really thought he was from the Zuo family?What kind of righteous servants and loyal ministers are you pretending to be!
Isn't it just that the big tree of the Zuo family fell down, and your family can't enjoy the blessing now that it can't do well?
After the old man finished speaking, his eyes looked far away, looking at the direction of the county government with a fierce look in his eyes, and his words were filled with deep hatred:

"Once I leave the city tomorrow, I must rush to the county government immediately, and invite the army to destroy these thieves!"

"Raccoon King Zheng, your death is not far away."

"At that time, the old man will have to flog the corpse's head, smash the bones and throw up the ashes, Fang Xue hates it!"

This statement immediately attracted everyone to speak in agreement, and they all cursed endlessly.

"What Zuo Lao said is very true, it is necessary to invite the imperial army as soon as possible, so as not to let these rebels go!"

"How can we just be humiliated after death to relieve the hatred in our hearts? You must return to this place with the army, and eat the flesh and drink the blood of these thieves one by one!"

"Everyone, I heard that Wang Zheng also has a sister-in-law named Huo Shi, who looks pretty good."

The money is already in the bag, Lu Shu is in a good mood, he doesn't mind to accompany the crowd to vent their anger, and even made a joke:
"It's time. Hehe"

"Haha, I did see a beautiful woman on the school grounds that day, and I learned from conversations with nearby villagers that it was the Huo family."

"It is indeed a stunner."

Speaking of such topics, everyone cheered up, even the old Zuo with age spots on his face, stroking his white beard and showing an obscene smile.

The next evening.

When this group of henchmen of the noble gentry gathered together again with their families and small villages, the sky was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

In the alley closest to the city gate.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Shu nodded and took the lead towards the city gate.

In order to avoid attracting attention, the group of people did not raise their torches, but walked forward in the dark, appearing quite sneaky.

After a while, this group of people arrived near the city gate, and most of them were excited when they thought that they could escape if they crossed the gap between the gates.

Lu Shu pressed both hands, signaling to the people behind him to be calm and stop, and then he walked forward alone.

Everyone at the city gate held up the torch, taking advantage of the bright light, Lu Shu looked around calmly, and made eye contact with a few of his subordinates mixed in the army. After confirming that there was no accident, he immediately felt relieved.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled cordially at the leader: "Brother Fu, I'm sorry for your trouble this time."

While talking, he waved to the crowd who were always paying attention in the distance.

The captain surnamed Fu also smiled politely: "Brother Lu, you are being polite, it's convenient for others, it's convenient for you, everyone takes what they need."

As he spoke, he glanced at the slowly approaching crowd, and said softly, "Are there so many people?"

Looking at Lu Shu again, he joked, "I can't imagine that even a small Zhao county has killed a batch of people, and so many wealthy landowners have been missed?"

"What is the origin of it all, there is no Mi family?"

"No, no, you have explained in advance, how can I be so ignorant?"

Lu Shu quickly apologized and said with a smile: "It's just the close attendants of some wealthy and powerful families. Look at this old man, he was the housekeeper for the Zuo family for 40 years before retiring and returning home last year."

"Hmm." Captain Fu nodded. "That's good, be quick, and you can leave after paying the money."

Lu Shu was also eager to finish the work as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams, he hurriedly signaled to everyone.

At the same time, Captain Fu also nodded to the soldiers around him.

After a while, the side door of the west gate opened silently, revealing a hole in the darkness.

After the bags of coins were verified to be correct, one family after another rushed out of the city impatiently.

At this point, the matter is basically safe, Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and became interested, casually chatting with Captain Fu:
"Brother Fu is also a decisive person. These dozens of households have left, and they will be discovered tomorrow. If you, General Tiangong, find out about this, please don't implicate you."

As he spoke, he said in a sincere tone, "I feel ashamed of that brother."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Brother Lu, you have a heart." Hearing this, Captain Fu looked at the other party with a softer look, as if he was quite moved, and said:
"Then Wang Zheng only cares about the dream of becoming emperor these days, how can he care about these things?"

"What's more, he doesn't miss old feelings when he does things. He has already made everyone dissatisfied. I'll tell you the truth."

Speaking of this, Captain Fu approached and said: "It's not just you who want to leave this place, but tonight alone, I have let go hundreds of brothers and sisters of the Heavenly Army."

At this time, the old Zuo walked slowly towards the outside of the city, just passing by two people, he paused when he heard the words, and his eyes lit up.

It was only for a moment, and he walked silently on his own.
