Chapter 1092: Taking the Blame, Visiting the Lu Mansion

Su Mingzhe's face changed:
"When and where was it robbed?"

Liang Zhongshu was appointed as the prefect of Daming Prefecture last autumn. This year was the first time he delivered the birthday gift to his father-in-law Cai Jing.

Logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be known in advance by only a time traveler like me, besides the person involved?

Who can coincide with me and go to grab this first birthday gift?

"I don't know."

Zhu Gui looked aggrieved:

"Ever since the birthday gift left Daming Prefecture, we brothers have been following it from a distance. As a result, the people from Liang Prefecture kept disguising themselves, and with heavy rain, the Yellow River burst its dike in Puyang, so they kept changing their routes. We brothers lost track of them twice."

"Yesterday, the convoy finally arrived in our Yuncheng. We were preparing to take action, but unexpectedly, a rainstorm broke out, disrupting our plan. We had to postpone our action to this morning. As a result, after we got the birthday gift, we opened it and found that the box had been replaced with stones at some point!"

Du Qian rushed over after hearing the news, Song Wan couldn't help but mutter:

"How come the birthday gift turned into stone? Is it because there is a thief among us or under Liang Zhongshu?"

"Someone switched it?"

For some reason, a name suddenly popped up in Su Mingzhe's mind: 'Shi Qian, the flea on the drum'.

Then, Su Mingzhe put the idea aside.

I can't blame all the thefts on the master thief Shi Qian just because this dimension is "Water Margin".

"Brother Zhu, where are those people being escorted by Daming Prefecture now?"

Zhu Gui said with a bitter face:

"After the birthday gift was robbed, those who were escorting them immediately hid in Yuncheng Mansion!"

"It seems like someone wants us to take the blame!"

After listening to Zhu Gui's report, Su Mingzhe made a general analysis and couldn't help but sneer a few times.

Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also got himself into trouble.

This is like a tiger that doesn't show its power and is regarded as a sick cat.

"Li Shou, get ready, let's go to Yuncheng Prefecture!"

Li Shou was originally the most ordinary minions in Liangshan Stronghold. Although he was dull in character, he had a good understanding.

When Su Mingzhe was selecting a leader, he recruited Li Shou and five others as his personal guards, with Li Shou as the leader of the personal guards.

Li Shou bowed and asked:

"My king, how many days will we be down the mountain?"

"Prepare for half a month!"

Su Mingzhe thought of some celebrities in Yuncheng and decided to visit them if things went well.

Not long after.

Li Shou took five personal guards, packed his luggage, disguised himself, and accompanied Su Mingzhe on a boat out of Liangshan Water Village.

Everyone left the village in the afternoon and rested for a night in their own hotel.

At noon the next day, the group arrived at Yuncheng Prefecture.

Before entering the city gate, several people noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

Su Mingzhe frowned:
"After the six of you enter the city, do not rest at the sentry post. Go to Guanyin Temple instead."

Guanyin Temple is the most famous temple in Yuncheng Prefecture, with a history of more than 200 years. Among the ten scenic spots in Yuncheng, two are related to Guanyin Temple.

Tourists from other places who come to Yuncheng often go to Guanyin Temple to rest.

"What about you, my king?"

Li Shou was puzzled. As the personal guards, why were the six of them going to the temple instead of following the king, Su Mingzhe?

"I have my own place to go. If I can use you, I will come find you!"

Su Mingzhe wanted to separate from the few people because he remembered that there were many capable people in Yuncheng Prefecture, and he was afraid that if these guards were exposed, it would be bad.

Separated from his personal guards, Su Mingzhe swaggered into Yuncheng.

Yuncheng was originally a prefecture, and the locals are accustomed to calling it Yuncheng Prefecture.

Unfortunately, the Yellow River later changed its course and Yuncheng Prefecture lost its glory. It was downgraded to a county and is currently under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Prefecture.

The current county magistrate of Yuncheng is named Shi Wenbin, and he has just taken office.

At that time, Wenbin had a good reputation as an official. After arriving in the local area, he encouraged people to farm and not waste the farming season. He also entrusted the important affairs of the county to several capable subordinates.

The subordinate whom Shi Wenbin valued the most was none other than the 'filial and righteous Black Sanlang' Song Jiang, the Yasi Song.

Yesterday, the housekeeper of Liang Zhongshu of Daming Prefecture suddenly came to report that the birthday gift given to Grand Tutor Cai was robbed in Yuncheng. Shi Wenbin was so scared that he quickly summoned his subordinates to discuss a solution.

Unfortunately, after discussing it all night, they still couldn't figure out the cause and effect. After all, the entire Yuncheng Commandery, including the capture soldiers and quick hands, had a total of no more than 500 people.

The Liangshan bandits were said to have 3,000 soldiers.

One against six, and playing away from home.

Shi Wenbin doesn't think his subordinates have such abilities.

The decision that everyone finally made was to strictly check strangers entering and leaving the city gates.

As for the campaign against the Liangshan bandits, let's leave it to Jeju Prefecture to handle it.

It was under such circumstances that Su Mingzhe walked into Yuncheng leisurely.

After entering the city, Su Mingzhe first found an agent and rented a small courtyard, and then went to a restaurant near the county government office to drink.

As his spiritual awareness expanded, he soon found the group of officials from Daming Prefecture who were escorting the birthday gift.

Half an hour later.

Su Mingzhe walked out of the county government office with a gloomy face:
“It’s not embezzlement!”

"According to Steward Xie's description, the goods were stolen in Hebei. They don't know the exact time and place, but it was only a few days after leaving Daming Prefecture."

"This housekeeper Xie knew that his things were stolen and had nowhere to look for them. He was afraid that Liang Zhongshu would hold him accountable, so he turned to Jizhou Prefecture on Jingdong Road. His purpose was to find a scapegoat to rob himself."

"Zhu Gui and his gang are also idiots. They actually lost the goods!"

at this point.

Su Mingzhe left a letter for Li Shou and others, asking them to pay attention to the movements in Yuncheng and report back in time if the government sent troops to suppress the bandits.

As for Su Mingzhe, he returned that night along the escort route of the birthday gift to look for it.

Su Mingzhe is a person who will not suffer any loss.

Since Liangshan was accused of robbing the birthday gift, the birthday gift must be seized by Liangshan.

soon.

Su Mingzhe rushed to Nanle County.

This is where Butler Xie discovered that the birthday gift was lost.

After spending two days, Su Mingzhe did not find anything unusual in Nanle County and continued to head north.

To the north of Nanle County is Daming Prefecture.

The most famous and capable person in Daming Prefecture was not the prefect Liang Zhongshu, but Lu Junyi, a wealthy businessman in Hebei, a local gentry, and the "Jade Unicorn" who was known as one of the "Three Wonders of Hebei".

Lu Junyi has been a disciple of the "Shaanxi hero" Zhou Tong since he was young. He has practiced martial arts for more than 30 years. In terms of gun, stick and fist, he is the best in Hebei and no one can stop him.

If Su Mingzhe were to search for someone alone, it would take an unknown amount of time.

In order to save himself some energy, Su Mingzhe decided to ask the local tyrant Lu Junyi for help.

Lu Mansion.

Lu Junyi, who was patrolling business outside, heard that a master had come to visit and defeated his "adopted son" Yan Qing with just a few punches and kicks. He was immediately delighted and hurried back on horseback.

"Xiao Yi, where is the master? Introduce him to me quickly!"

Lu Junyi was a man who loved martial arts. When he met a master, he couldn't help but want to compete with him.

When Yan Qingyan Xiaoyi saw his master coming back, he took the reins and said:
"Master, Mr. Su is serving tea in the living room, and Miss is entertaining guests!"

When Lu Junyi heard that his adopted daughter Lu Jinzhi was entertaining guests, he immediately frowned:
"Jinzhi is a crazy girl. Let her entertain the guests. Don't let the master think we are being rude!"

Yan Qing did not expect that his master would look down on his young lady so much. He immediately smiled bitterly and defended his young lady:

"Master, actually, the young lady is quite good."

However, Lu Junyi didn't believe Yan Qing's words. He waved his hand and went straight to the living room.

In the living room.

Su Mingzhe was chatting with a girl with delicate features and a slender waist. When he heard that Lu Junyi had returned, he stood up politely, bowed and smiled:

"Jezhou Su Mingzhe, I have something to trouble Mr. Lu for. I come here uninvited, please forgive me!"

"Brother Su, don't be polite. When you go out, you rely on your friends. Brother Su, if you have something to ask, please come to me, Lu. This shows that you think highly of me, Lu!"

When Lu Junyi saw Su Mingzhe, he couldn't stop smiling.

Mr. Lu is also a man who loves appearance. His adopted son Yan Qing, adopted daughter Lu Jinzhi, and even the housekeeper Li Gu are all handsome men and beautiful women.

And Su Mingzhe is already a man of noble bearing and extraordinary bravery.

When Lu Junyi saw him, he naturally wanted to make him a close friend. For a moment, he even forgot about making friends through martial arts.
