New Story of Lv Bu

: Chapter 6: Wine

The Wuyuan Prefectural Mansion is located in the middle of Jiuyuan City. It is a large mansion with seven fronts and forwards. It faces south from the north and has a magnificent eaves vault. This usually solemn and solemn place, today is like a big enemy. Outside the prefect’s mansion, there were three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry, surrounded by the Han army so that the needles could not penetrate into the water. The Han army all topped their helmets and braided their armours, as if they were facing an enemy.

The people gathered outside the Prefect's Mansion, watching the heavily armed Han army curiously. This is the No. 1 news of Tianzi in Jiuyuan City! It adds too much talk to the people's peaceful life. "This is the army of Zuoquqiantun!" "This Xiongtai, where do you know?" "At first glance, you are not a local, Zuoquqiantun, and the state's top elite in Jiuyuan City, who does not know? "It's weird! The prefecture should be guarded by the middle song as usual. That is the prefect's pro-army. How did you change the Zuo Quqian camp now? It still looks like a big enemy? Could something happen?" The people talked a lot, and soon gathered hundreds of people. All the soldiers in Zuo Quqiantun didn't look squint, they were like a tree there.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes, and more than a hundred riders hurriedly came, blowing a whirlwind on the street. The three of them took the lead and jumped out of the horse in front of the mansion gate. The first one is more than forty years old, with a long body of jade and white sideburns. He is Mahan Mahan, one of the four major families in Wuyuan County, the head of the Ma family. There is no one in Ma Han's dynasty, and he has fallen into the ranks for a long time. Many things have been seen a long time ago. Compared with Zhang Gao and Huang Chong, he is much smoother in doing things. The four major families are headed by the Ma family because Ma Han's roots are extremely deep, and his relatives and friends have spread throughout the county, and they all respond to each other.

The second person is Chang Shi Huang Chong, who is more than 30 years old, and was born in the Huang family in Wuyuan. He has been in Luoyang, the capital city, and moved with Zhang Gao last year. Huang Chong was born black and fat, he looked like a butcher, and he was very rough when talking. He would curse if he didn't agree with him. In the Wuyuan officialdom, Ma Han has a very good reputation, nicknamed "Ma Po Po", Huang Chong's official voice is average, nicknamed "Huang Tuhu", the worst is the prefect Zhang Gao, nicknamed "Zhang Zizi"-no one, whichever The meaning of scraping the land. The prefect Zhang Gao was a protégé of the Yuan family in Runan. He had always served as an official in the capital city of Luoyang, and only last year he won the high position of the Wuyuan prefect.

The prefect Zhang Gao, Jun Cheng Mahan, and Chang Shi Huang Chong were the troikas of Wuyuan County. The officialdom of Wuyuan is currently the three men arguing, Zhang Gao woos Huang Chong to deal with Ma Han, but as soon as the interests of the four major families in Wuyuan are involved, Ma Popo and Huang Tuhu will definitely unite to sing the opposite.

The official system of this dynasty is counted by stone, which is a unit of weight, and one stone is about 20 kilograms for later generations. The highest ten thousand stones, the least one hundred stones. The prefect’s salary was two thousand shi, slightly lower than the two thousand shi in Jiuqing, while the prefect and Changshi were six hundred shi, and the three of them were Wuyuan County’s troika.

The third person is tall and thin, with a violent anger on his face. This person is the Zuo Qujun Hou Lu Kai, who has never dealt with Lu Bu. Lu Bu has been in the army for five years, has gone through hundreds of battles, and made countless merits, all of which he greeted. How can the relationship between the two be good? Lv Kai is greedy and has no mercy from his servants. The soldiers resent a lot. He is also arrogant and prestigious, and his colleagues have no friendship before. If it hadn't been for Zuo Quqiantun, this elite supporter would have been driven home to eat old rice long ago.

All three of them looked dignified, their eyebrows furrowed, and they looked bitter and bitter. The three of them just came out of the Taishou Mansion half an hour ago. Before leaving, they ordered Zhongqu to guard the Taishou Mansion. How come the Taishou Mansion was surrounded by Zuo Quqiantun before leaving? Could it be that Lu Bu couldn't change his army?

The main army of the long history, Huang Chong was in charge of the military power of the Wuyuan Frontier, and he did his part. He jumped off the horse, furious, striding straight into the mansion gate, Ma Han and Lu Kai followed closely behind. "Why is this? What happened?" Huang Chong roared loudly, questioning how long the goalkeeper was. It is neither overbearing nor overbearing, and the loud voice answered: "I have seen you adults! Chief Lu Tun has said that it is a matter of great importance, please enter the house and you will know! Please!" After speaking, he stepped aside. Huang Chong didn't talk nonsense, walked into the mansion gate angrily and went straight to the second hall.

There was a sound of crying in the mansion. The family members of the prefect Zhang Gao had already been imprisoned in the wing rooms on both sides, and the women and children were crying loudly. Dozens of people dressed up as small officials came in and went in and out, all in a hustle and bustle. Ma Han peeked at them, these people were all new faces, and they were all Luoyang accents in their mouths. Early this morning, the prefectural government sent a letter saying that the prefect Zhang Gao had his head cut off. The first level was placed on the public case in the lobby. He was shocked and hurried into the mansion to discuss the disposal method with Chang Shi Huang Chong and Zuo Qu Junhou Lu Kai. , Two hours in a row. Now that breakfast is useless, there has been such a change. Looking at the manners of these people, Ma Han was shocked, could it be that he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Where is Lv Bu? You led your troops to surround the prefectural palace without authorization. Could it be that you want to rebel with your troops?" Huang Chong roared as soon as he entered the second hall, and finally found an outlet for his sulking all morning. "Who is yelling here? Didn't you see that Si Wencao is working on the case?" A white-faced man in his forties entered arrogantly. "Oh, it turned out to be Huang Changshi. I thought it was the provincial governor who had arrived." The white-faced man gave Huang Chong a stern face. "Come on! Show the edict of Shang Shutai, the gold medal of our old Liu's identity, and the eagle letter of Si Wencao to Master Huang to see, lest Master Huang punish our Nine Clan!"

A companion behind him came forward with a disdainful face, and poked three things under Huang Chong's nose with both hands in one fell swoop. Don't ask what kind of office Si Wencao is, he puts on a big hat of treason as soon as he opens his mouth! A six-hundred-stone petty official dared to shout five and six in front of Si Wencao, not urinating to follow his own virtues!

As soon as I heard about Cao, Huang Chong's face immediately saw sweat. His face immediately changed from a furious rage to a shock, and then from a shock to a smile, and his complexion changed in an instant. "It turns out that it was Siwen Cao! Something is abrupt! Forgive me! Forgive me! Hahaha???" Ma Han looked disgusted, and said that Huang Tuhu, you should save a bit of face to the scholar of the Dahan. Christine, this face was slapped.

After the three adults had finished reading, Huang Chong held the gold medal for the clerical documents to Liu Qingcheng with both hands, and wiped the sweat on his face with his big sleeves. "Siwen Cao is in charge, this official will definitely cooperate with all your efforts??? Fully cooperate! Lord Liu, this family of the prefect???" Liu Qingcheng saw that Huang Chong was subdued, and he no longer embarrassed him. "Zhang Gao was the mastermind of the Xianbei smuggling case. He leaked the whereabouts of the old man, leading to the tragic death of more than 30 colleagues from Siwen and Cao. The place of burial!"

"Oh!" The three adults were moved together. "So that's it!" "There were three cavalry attackers last night, with a total of more than 600 people. One was led by Zhongqu Junhou, one was the remnant of the giant Zhang Heizi, and the other was a dead soldier. More than 400 people were beheaded, and more than a hundred were captured. There are still many doubts in this case, and you need to fully cooperate with the adults to investigate!" Liu Qingcheng opened his eyes wide and looked at the three of them. "Nuo!" The three adults sat up straight and responded in unison.

Lu Bu jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the soldiers, and walked into the courtyard by himself.

This courtyard is located in Lujiazhuang, at the southeast corner of Lujiabao. Lujiazhuang is fifty miles south of Jiuyuan City and has 5,000 acres of fertile land. It is a manor built by Lu Bu's grandfather, Lu Hao, with his eunuch. Lu Hao used to serve as a Yueqi school lieutenant, followed General Dou Xian to attack the Huns, and later stayed at the frontier fortress. After Lu Hao's death, his son Lu Liang succeeded him. Two generations of his father and son stationed in Jiuyuan for decades. A few years ago, Xianbei entered the bandit, Lu Liang and his relatives were killed together, Lu Bu built a fortress in the village, named Lujiabao.

Lujiabao is a small city with a perimeter of ten miles. Its walls are five feet high. There are four gates in the southeast and northwest. Lu Bu’s mansions and workshops are located in the city. This courtyard is Lu Bu’s craftsman camp and the most secret place in Lujiazhuang. Lu Bu turned around several yards familiarly, and came to a compound. Lu Mo, the supervisor of the craftsman camp, was discussing something with several craftsmen. When he saw Lu Bu coming, he just nodded. Lu Mo is less than thirty years old, he is a black and strong man, a well-known craftsman in Luoyang, and is said to be a disciple of Momen. A few years ago, he killed someone and fled to Jiuyuan City, and was hired by Lu Bu to be the steward of the craftsman camp. He really shined half a year ago, when Lu Bu just crossed to the end of Han Dynasty. Lu Bu talked freely with him for three days and three nights, and on the second day he recruited skilled craftsmen to form a craftsman camp.

Several craftsmen saw the Patriarch coming, ended the discussion in a few words, and walked towards Lü Bu. "Patriarch, please come with me." Lu Mo said, and Meteor strode ahead and turned a few more turns to a courtyard. Lu Mo walked into the courtyard, moved the switch, and an entrance appeared in the courtyard. The two climbed down the steps, and the inside turned out to be a huge cellar, with hundreds of huge wooden barrels lined up on rows of wooden racks.

Lu Mo opened a wooden bucket, scooped up a bright red juice and handed it to Lu Bu. Lu Bu put the wine cup in front of his nose and smelled it, and a scent came out. He lifted the wine cup and drank it. "Good wine! It just tastes worse." When it comes to making inventions, Lu Mo feels like a different person, with happiness on his face. "The owner has good eyesight! It was not told by the owner. I don't know how easy this wine is to make! It's just two fermentations and stirring and filtering. This wine has just been filtered, and it has been cellared for a few days. It tastes the best with some ice cubes when you drink it. Okay." Lu Mo stretched out his big callused hand and stroked the barrel, just like he was stroking his own child.

"We have more wines than Western wines! These hundreds of barrels have been vinified recently. It is a pity that not many grapes were planted last year. This year we will only have these. Next year, we will have several hundred acres of variety." "Lu Mo" , You have worked hard! The formula and process must be kept secret! The relevant people will wait for me to appreciate it again. How is the glass bottle made?" Lu Mo's face released a glow of joy again. "It turned out that the temperature of the kiln was not enough. Later, as the owner said, black charcoal was used, and the exhaust and iron furnace were remodeled. The temperature of the furnace went up. It is just that the craftsmen are not skilled, and the skills of blowing, drawing and pressing are not familiar. Hundreds of finished products have been completed."

Lu Bu felt relaxed for a while, and Lu Mo's speech was full of twists and turns, which shocked everyone! "Patriarch, Mrs. Zhang sent a notice, saying that your teacher Zhang Huan, Mr. Zhang, will return from Yanmen in three days, and I want you to prepare early!" Lu Bu's heart tightened, his eyes looked far away, and a resolute and determined face appeared in front of him. , What is the reason why the old man hurried back this time?
