Take a Door with You

Su Yu took a few steps forward and greeted him one after another: "Junior Su Yu (Duan Chong, Chen Wanting) has met senior."

This is the first person in Shenhou Mansion to appear in front of people.

Moreover, he presided over such a huge event—negotiating with the sixty-one families of Xijing, and even negotiating with the Xijing government that came later. Even if this old man is not the "Iron God" in the Shenhou Mansion, his status is not high. would be too bad.

The three of them dare not neglect.

On the contrary, the silver-faced old man was quite accommodating: "There is no need to be too polite, the three of you please sit down."

Then he took out five portraits on his own, and nodded and smiled to Su Cheng, Su Dong and other five people behind him, saying with a smile: "I heard that the Su family in Xiandu has always been strict, and occasionally there are two scumbags, and they can correct themselves in time. It is better than many famous families."

This is a compliment.

Sincerely.

Su Yu felt ashamed and annoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's the Su family's lax discipline."

Then he quickly asked the accompanying servants to offer the fine money——

Su Cheng three years sixty-two.

Su Dong was eight years old and one hundred and sixteen.

As well as three servants of the Su family, the total sentence was seventy-seven years in prison and a fine of 1,540 taels of silver.

The total amount of silver fined by the five people was only 1760 taels, which was just a small amount of money to the Su family.

After Su Yu offered the fine silver stipulated by the Shenhou Mansion, he asked someone to pick up two more boxes, opened it and saw that it was covered with gold and silver: "This is a wish from the Su family, please accept it, senior."

The Shenhou Mansion only asked for a thousand taels, but the Su family didn't dare to really only give a thousand taels.

Taking the second house as the main one, the Su family collected another five hundred taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver as filial piety. Whether it is to ask the Shenhou Mansion to treat Su Cheng and Su Dong kindly, or to let the Su family have a good relationship with the Shenhou Mansion, there is something to be gained if you give up, and you must do your best.

Five hundred taels of gold.

Five thousand taels of silver.

The total value is 15,000 taels, which is almost ten times that of fine silver!

It's a big deal.

If the Su family dares to give it away, the Shenhou Mansion dares to accept it!

The silver-faced old man chuckled, never refusing to come, and then talked about business: "Su Cheng and others are brought to justice, as long as the Su family manages the family strictly in the future, the Shenhou Mansion will not make things difficult. My Shenhou Mansion has always acted fairly, and I invite Su Don't worry, everyone in the family. There is still one thing left, and I need to ask the Su family to help me."

"Senior, just do what you say, and the Su family will do their best to complete it."

Su Yu hurriedly said.

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not that serious. The old man was ordered by the gods to build the 'Eternal Life Hall' in Wuqinzhai. , It’s a pity that I was frightened away by the Xijing army a few days ago, and now there is no one available for this old man, so I have the audacity to borrow some people from the Su family.”

I see!

Su Yu was not much surprised.

Before them, apart from the Pan family, several of the sixty-one families had come up, and they had all communicated with each other after they left the mountain, knowing that these families had been borrowed by the Shenhou Mansion.

Some of them are servants, responsible for the food of the prisoners in the mountain and many chores on the mountain.

Some of them are guards, and they will be stationed at the foot of the mountain in the future to prevent Xiao Chongshan.

Although it seems a bit weird to ask the families of criminals to provide these personnel.

But that's what you want.

Thus.

It is a good thing to get closer to the Shenhou Mansion and have more affection in the future, and to be able to know the situation of his children imprisoned in the mountains at any time.

As for the ones down the mountain.

It seems to be guarding Wuqin Village, but in fact, isn't it also guarding his own children?

Naturally, there was no reason to refuse such a request.

Like the previous few, the Su family readily accepted.

The two sides talked happily.

Just when the handover between the Su family and the Shenhou Mansion was coming to an end.

Suddenly.

Outside, a handyman temporarily hired by the silver-faced old man came to report——

[Chen Wang Lu Yu and Xijing Prefecture Yin Wangyou and Xijing Commander Yu Hui, please see me at the foot of the mountain! 】

...

In the mountains, a small courtyard.

Lu Yu fulfilled his wish and met the first and only person in front of the Shenhou Mansion, who claimed to be——

Sick old man!

Gray hair.

Withered hands.

Face mask.

It is very mysterious at first glance.

The three of them went up the mountain with anger, helplessness, and curiosity.

last night.

last night.

The two rounds of blows announced by the Shenhou Mansion in advance stunned the entire officialdom of the Xijing Mansion.

Wang You.

Yu Hui.

All caught blind.

Even Lu Yu, after witnessing the bombing of the Xijing government office, saw the mansions of Wang You and Yu Hui who were bombed almost at the same time.

I also felt extremely shocked and powerless.

In view of this.

Lu Yu no longer hibernates, does not do anything in Xijing City, but decides to take the two big bosses of Xijing Mansion to Wuqin Mountain together, and wants to meet Shenhou Mansion in person.

"Wangfu Yin and Yu Dusi have been friends for a long time, and finally we can see each other."

Cao Xin pretended to be an old man hiding under the silver mask, greeted Wang You and Yu Hui, and then looked at the python-robed man in the lead: "I have admired the name of King Chen for a long time, but I didn't expect such a small matter in Xijing Mansion to be a shocker. guilt."

This statement is both true and false.

Cao Xin knew that, with the title of "Shenhou's Mansion", he stirred up the situation in Xijing City, and the Daliang court would definitely respond, and it was reasonable to send people to investigate.

But it was Lu Yu, the emperor's uncle under Daliang, who came here, which exceeded his expectations.

【Root bones: 6】

"Tsk tsk!"

Cao Xin felt that Lu Yu was extraordinary, so he had a random insight, which confirmed it.

The value of this person's roots is the same as that of Sima Qinglian, the leader of the Demon Cult he met in Qishan. Rounding off, could it be that the strength of the two is similar?

but.

Whether this uncle is a master or even a martial artist is not very clear in the world.

Cao Xin just saw it in person today, and thought that this person's promotion of the Embroidery Department fits the personality of the big man behind the scenes, so he got an insight.

Now, combine the roots—

"There is a high probability that he is a top expert."

"Compared to me, this is the setting of the real 'Iron Brave God'!"

Cao Xin had a lot of mental activities, but neither his face nor his mask moved.

this side.

Lu Yu looked at the silver-faced old man, wondering if he was a brave man. If not, what role does it play in the Shenhou Mansion?

A move in my heart.

Desire to test.

But Cao Xin was considerate and said first: "Since the lord is willing to come here with Wangfu Yin and Yu Dusi, it must be because he wants to make peace?"

I have the advantage!

No detours!

Cao Xin thought that he was no match for these three old-fashioned officials in terms of negotiation, so he simply ignored them and went straight to the point.

The achievements of the Shenhou Mansion gave him the confidence!

Lu Yu didn't expect Cao Xin to take such a route. He was startled for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile: "The Shenhou Mansion is very capable and can attack Xijing City at any time, but we can't defend it, let alone counterattack. If we don't make peace, Xijing City will be destroyed." I'm afraid it will be completely corrupted."

He sighed deeply.

This was the first time that Lu Yu was so aggrieved since his high position and authority.

But he has always been able to bend and stretch, but he doesn't care about being soft with others.

Lu Yu looked at the silver-faced old man, and also cut to the chase: "There is chaos in the Xijing Mansion, which neither Lu nor the court wants to see."

In fact, long before coming to Wuqin Mountain, Lu Yu had already made several plans.

But after going up to Wuqin Mountain, seeing that only the old man with a silver face came out from the Shenhou Mansion, he knew that many of the plans were not suitable.

Only one out!

On behalf of the Shenhou Mansion, the unity of will and the unity of thousands of people.

In the absence of contact with more members of the Shenhou Mansion, methods such as intimidation, division, and win over are useless.

We can only be gentle first, and then slowly figure it out.

Therefore.

Lu Yu looked at the silver-faced old man with a sincere attitude, "If you have any requests from the Shenhou Mansion, just bring them up. Everyone sit down and discuss things."

Cao Xin could also guess something famous, he didn't care, shook his head and said: "The goal of the Shenhou Mansion has always been very clear, to punish rape and eliminate evil, and to rid the world of injustice."

He got up and paced, looked at Lu Yu——

"You asked me what the Shenhou Mansion's requirements are, and now I'll tell you—"

"Cases that the imperial court can't solve will be solved by my Shenhou Mansion. I will kill those who the imperial court dare not kill, and I will take care of things that the imperial court dare not handle."

"In a word: I will take care of what the court can control, and I will take care of what the court can't control."

"The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Before the law, everyone is equal. This is the Shenhou Mansion."

Cao Xin looked at Lu Yu: "Is it clear enough?"

"The Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people."

"Everyone is equal before the law."

Lu Yu listened, and said with a wry smile: "It's impossible. Some people have class and privileges. Maybe the seniors and Tiedan Shenhou have ambitions, but can they guarantee that everyone in the Shenhou's mansion can always abide by and implement them? There is no shortage of honest and good officials, but which of the five capitals and seventeen provinces in Daliang can guarantee innocence?"

The slogans were shouted loudly.

The idea is too naive.

"Whether it can be done, don't bother King Chen."

"Even if it can only be managed for a while or a place, the people will benefit in the end, and my Shenhou Mansion's work is not in vain."

Cao Xin naturally understands what Lu Yu means, but just like the anti-corruption work in his previous life, is it because corruption will never be eradicated, so he doesn't do it or fight it?

Isn't that more rampant?

Back to girder.

also the same.

The highest goal of the Shenhou Mansion is to eradicate the crime and inequality in Daliang, but this is a lofty ideal, just like the "world harmony", we all know it is unrealistic, but people with lofty ideals still have to work hard for it and fight for life .

A famous literati in the Republic of China once said in a previous life: the most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once. A person's life should be spent like this: When he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed for being inactive, so that when he is dying, he can say: My Life and all experiences are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world --- fighting for the liberation of mankind.

Apart from martial arts and his family, Cao Xin has always wanted to do something for this world and leave something behind.

Do what you can.

That's all.

...

Regardless of whether Lu Yu agrees with the philosophy and ideals of the "Shenhou Mansion", but at the moment, after all, it is human beings who use swords and me as fish and meat——

Xijing City is the meat on the cutting board of Shenhou Mansion.

Unless Xijing is revoked, all famous and powerful families withdraw from Xijing City and even Xijing Mansion, in order to have some qualifications for negotiation.

Otherwise it's useless to say-

Truth is only within range!

Moreover, even if Xijing City is made to be an empty city, and even if the imperial court abandons the entire Xijing Mansion, who knows whether the Shenhou Mansion has the ability to go to another place to do it again?

just in case!

What if the next target is changed to Daliang Capital and placed in the Imperial Palace?

Could it be that the capital was moved?

Isn't it a joke!

This possibility is not impossible and has to be guarded against.

At least before finding out how the Shenhou Mansion attacked Xijing City without revealing the details, it is best to coax the Shenhou Mansion.

When the situation calms down, when people in the Shenhou Mansion such as the "sick old man" step up to the stage one by one, and have closer ties with the Liang court and various famous families, the Shenhou Mansion will no longer be barefoot.

At that time, the Daliang court had rich experience and could dismantle the Shenhou Mansion from within, and even make the Shenhou Mansion for its own use.

"High-altitude bombing?"

"Long-range strike?"

Lu Yu has already begun to look forward to, if the two armies are at war and the two countries are facing each other, in the dark night, they can attack the enemy barracks with the same precision as Shenhou's mansion attacked Xijingdu Sifu and Xijingfu Yamen, wouldn't Daliang be invincible?

With this thought.

Lu Yu was more cautious when negotiating, he was not in a hurry to test, nor was he in a hurry to be tough, as long as the demands of the Shenhou Mansion were not excessive, he would obey them one by one.

But fortunately, apart from the absurd slogan of 'everyone is equal', the other aspects of Shenhou Mansion's requirements are far from harsh, and can even be said to be unexpectedly gentle!

...

"These are the requirements of the Shenhou Mansion."

"This is the management regulations of 'Wuqinshan Prison'. Lu Guogong can take a look. The sick old man has personally promised the king that Wuqinshan Prison is open and transparent, and there are separate prisons for men and women. The female prison guards are all from Xijing. A healthy woman for hire."

After Lu Yu returned from Wuqin Mountain, he came to Lu Guogong's mansion immediately and met Lu Guogong.

At this time, Duke Lu's mansion had already been evacuated.

Lu Guogong is very tough, unwilling to surrender to the Shenhou Mansion, unwilling to hand over the Princess Yongjia, for this reason he would rather abandon the huge foundation in Xijing City, and not even stay in Xijing Mansion, go to other provinces and start a new stove.

In order to protect this younger sister, Lu Guogong can be said to spare no expense.

However, the prerequisite for the Shenhou Mansion to shake hands with the imperial court to make peace is to bring all the criminals from the sixty-one families in Xijing to justice and send them to Wuqinshan Prison to serve their sentences.

The Pan family is also good.

It doesn't matter if Lu Guogong's mansion.

No exception.

Everyone is equal!

This is the code of conduct of the Shenhou Mansion, which cannot be trampled on or compromised.

Not only that, but the Shenhou Mansion also wanted the court to guarantee that the above-mentioned sixty-one families in Xijing would not be allowed to move out of Xijing City.

Why move out?

What's the meaning?

Afraid of Shenhou Mansion?

You don't commit crimes, you don't break the law, why are you afraid of God's House?

Could it be that he wants to move outside the Xijing Mansion and continue to do evil?

Migration is guilty conscience!

Just want to continue to sin!

Ah!

Shenhou Mansion was the first to refuse!

In view of this.

After Lu Yu and the three of them came back, they immediately went to various households to do ideological work.

Good advice is also good.

Intimidation or intimidation.

In short, let the Shenhou Mansion have no chance to attack.

Among them, Lu Guogong's mansion, which is the most special and difficult, only Lu Yu is qualified to persuade, and even order when necessary.

"It's true that even the prince can't do anything about the Shenhou Mansion?"

Lu Guogong glanced at the management regulations, and saw the plowing, weeding, spinning, and weaving inside, and his eyelids twitched. He looked up at Lu Yu, frowning deeply.

"There is no way!"

There was also bitterness on Lu Yu's face, and he said helplessly: "Two nights before and after - Xijing City is as airtight as an iron barrel, but that's it, Shenhou Mansion still refers to where to fight, without showing any traces. The situation of man-to-man Now, the possibility of a large number of inner ghosts in Xijing City can be temporarily ruled out. This king speculates that the Shenhou Mansion either has more sophisticated siege equipment, and can accurately throw boulders and kerosene outside Xijing City on Xijingdu Sifu , Xijing government office and other directions. Or, this group of people simply attack from the sky, taking advantage of the dark night, whether it is a kite or a bird of prey, in short, they can strike accurately at night from a high altitude."

These two guesses, no matter which one they are, are far worse than Xijing City having an inner ghost.

"If it's true that there are ghosts in Xijing City, or even all the staff, it will be fine."

"If this is the case, the unbreakability of the Shenhou Mansion will be limited to Xijing City."

"But if it's the latter two—"

Lu Guogong obviously realized it too.

If the Shenhou Mansion has the siege equipment to attack the city accurately from outside the city, or the air power, then if it can threaten Xijing City today, it can also threaten the capital city and the palace in the future!

This is too deadly!

Based on the current situation that the Daliang court knows nothing about the Shenhou Mansion, the necessary compromise is the best policy and is inevitable.

This is related to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Liang Dynasty, not to mention a Yongjia princess, but the entire Duke Lu's mansion, what is it?

"Daishan understands."

Lu Guogong slumped and agreed.

...

Ask for a monthly pass!

PS: Twice every day!
