True Martial Great Emperor of Myriad Realms

Xiaoyue building.

Dingkang is the most prosperous place in the city.

On this day, the city's merchants and senior officials gathered here. It was dark and the lights were still bright.

In the restaurant, the magistrate Lu Shupan sits in the first place and is raising a glass to invite himself to drink.

More than ten people at the same table, except Wu Bing and others, are all rich businessmen in the city.

All seven people in Dingkang city are here.

There were other merchants and officials sitting around, and dozens of people gathered together.

"Coincidentally, several people invited at the same time. However, Lu was weak and had to invite together here."

Magistrate Lu put down his wine cup and opened his mouth with a smile: "however, it's unnecessary in the future!"

"You're welcome, my Lord."

Many merchants complimented: "thanks to adults, Dingkang city can be peaceful, and we can have this stable day."

"If we don't report this kindness, we have no face to see others. Please don't be so polite, my Lord."

"Ha ha..."

Magistrate Lu laughed.

At this time, a small official came forward quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Oh!"

Magistrate Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "since he's here, let him in, so as not to lose his sense of propriety in front of your fathers."

"Yes!"

Small officials should bow down.

"My Lord."

Master Zheng, the merchant, turned sideways and asked, "who's here? But I'm an old friend of adults' younger generation. Then I'll get to know one or two."

"Good, good."

Everyone nodded.

"Don't make friends with this person. It's hard to annoy him even if it's me."

Magistrate Lu shook his head and said, "this man is a reckless general. He went to the Yamen just now. He should not have found anyone. He has come here!"

"General?"

A man said tentatively, "but general Liu, who came from the north and was ordered to counter the rebellion?"

"Good."

Magistrate Lu nodded.

"It seems that he has been to yangwangtun."

Magistrate Wu smiled coldly and said, "but a reckless man, I really think it's enough to March and fight. He has no money and food. I think he uses what to fight."

"Hum!"

"He is nothing without our command!"

"What a big breath!"

Suddenly, a cold sound sounded.

When they heard the sound, they saw a strong man dressed in strong clothes, striding in the courtyard of Xiaoyue building and coming here.

It's Guo fan!

Around him, Mo Linglong and Gongsun Yun followed him as always, but they didn't see anyone else.

When he came near, Guo fan lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Tongzhi: "if I remember correctly, should you be here?"

"Good!"

Wu Tongzhi tightened his cheeks and stood up slowly from his seat: "it's me, Wu Bing. What do you want to do?"

Although his mouth was hard, he trembled under the pressure of the other party's momentum, which was obviously a lack of confidence.

"Hum!"

A trace of disdain flashed in Guo fan's eyes: "get away!"

"You..."

Wu Tong decided to open his mouth and wanted to speak. Gongsun Yun grabbed him on the shoulder and fiercely threw him out of the house.

"Bang..."

"Ouch!"

A little noise sounded, which also made the house more and more dull.

"General Liu."

Magistrate Lu twitched at the corners of his mouth, stiff in his seat and forced a smile: "why? Since you're here, sit down first."

"Someone!"

He tapped his hands and shouted, "change another wine and dish and take out the jar of Xingmao good wine. I'll drink with General Liu."

"No!"

Guo fan sat down with a golden dagger, waved his hand and said, "Lord Lu should know why I came."

"Why are you here?"

Magistrate Lu's expression converged.

"Want something!"

Guo fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light in his eyes flashed away: "want people, food and pay!"

"Ha ha..."

Magistrate Lu smiled and shook his head. "General Liu, it's really a clever woman who can't make bricks without rice unless I don't give it to you."

"At present, the court situation is difficult. Several states are dry for years, people are displaced, soldiers are scarce, and money is needed everywhere for disaster relief and counter insurgency."

"Treasury, emptiness!"

"Really?"

Guo fan glances at the food on the table.

Preserved Rouge goose, steamed duck with wine, Panjin crisp fish, shrimp balls, chicken skin soup and so on

There are also crabs with large basins, seasonal fresh fruits in the four sides, and fragrant wine that makes people celebrate their birthday.

It's just that this table of wine and dishes is worth a lot!

"Lord Lu, good luck!"

"Hey!"

As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Guo fan's mouth, governor Lu shook his head and sighed, "to tell you the truth, Lu has withdrawn this year's silver offering, just to do his part for the court and the people."

"However, since the general is short of silver and food, Lu will naturally try his best to raise money."

"Oh!"

Guo fan's eyes moved and said, "I don't know what adults can do?"

"So."

Magistrate Lu stood up, took the wine cup from front of him and saluted everyone in the field.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"General Liu was ordered to suppress the rebels and bandits. However, there is a shortage of military pay. Now the imperial court has an empty Treasury and is unable to transfer."

"Today, Lu gave up his face and begged you to help for the sake of the court and the people!"

Guo fan provoked Mei Feng and didn't say a word.

"Since Lord Lu spoke, we naturally tried our best."

Master Zheng bowed his hand and asked, "but I don't know how much silver General Liu still needs. Let's see if we can raise it?"

"More is better."

When Guo fan heard the speech, he said in a muffled voice, "but what the imperial court lacks is 100000 liang of silver."

"100000 Liang!"

Everyone in the field changed color.

"So much?"

"The lion opened his mouth!"

"He really dares to. No wonder Wu Tong doesn't like this man."

One after another, Mo Linglong's pretty face was cold, and a pair of beautiful eyes glanced around.

"General!"

Master Zheng said calmly, "it's not that we don't want to pay, but that you really want a lot."

"In recent years, there have been disasters and bandits here, and the general should have seen the scene of ten rooms and nine empty outside the city."

"I really can't get so much money and food!"

"If you can't take so much, you can take as much as you can."

Gongsun Yun suddenly opened his mouth and looked at a group of people with pity: "think about it. When the bandits break the city, you will not only lose your money, but also your wife, children, old and young!"

"What's the use of more silver then?"

"This..."

Master Zheng hesitated.

The magistrate, Lord Lu, has done it with a smile and watched the situation change in the field.

"General!"

At this time, an old man got up trembling at the speech and took out several silver tickets from his sleeve.

"Old man, there are fifty liang of silver here. It's no respect. I hope the general will accept it and send troops to put down the rebellion as soon as possible."

"One hundred Liang."

Master Zheng took out a silver note and said, "general, I'm not willing to give more. Sometimes I spend a lot and my family is poor."

"I'll pay thirty Liang!"

"Fifty Liang!"

"I'll pay ten Liang!"

Everyone in the field accepted the donation of ten Liang or more than ten liang of silver, but Guo fan sneered.

"I'll pay five hundred Liang!"

Suddenly, a man shouted loudly, took off the jade bracelet under his hand and said, "with this jade bracelet, Meng donated five carts of good rice, just for the general to wipe out the rebels and return peace to the people."

"Yes!"

Guo fan raised his eyebrows and said, "who is this person?"

"Meng Wenruo, a scholar."

Magistrate Lu snorted and said, "five hundred Liang. This man is usually frugal. This time he is heroic!"

Guo fan nodded silently.

"Meng Wenruo, good."

"General."

Gongsun Yun received the silver ticket and said, "a total of 1132, and another jade bracelet."

"A thousand Liang."

Guo fan shook his head: "a drop in the bucket."

"Hey!"

Magistrate Lu sighed and said, "Dingkang city is not rich. It is estimated that the government can take out 1000 Liang."

"But if the general is willing, Lu can raise money again. I believe it's not difficult to fight the rebellion."

While talking, his head was slightly raised and his face was full of pride.

The implication is to let Guo fan be soft. Otherwise, there should be no military pay, money and food!

"No!"

Who ever thought that Guo fan shook his head calmly and stood up slowly from his seat.

"Lord Lu's method doesn't seem to have much effect. It's better to use it."

"Your way?"

Magistrate Lu was stunned: "what can you do?"

A reckless man may be OK in war. Isn't it funny to raise food, grass and military pay?

"Yes, my way!"

Guo fan sneered, then raised his hand and patted gently.

The applause was not big, but it spread very far.

Next moment!

"Boom..."

"Bang!"

Outside the Xiaoyue building, there was a lot of noise. Torches lit up all around. Hundreds of soldiers kicked open the front and back doors and rushed in with swords.

In an instant, there were shouts and screams.

"Soldier?"

Magistrate Lu looked in a panic: "how? When did you enter the city?"

"Lord Lu."

Guo fan sneered: "you look down on the guards of Dingkang city!"

"Come on, take all the others except the scholar named Meng Wenruo!"

"Here!"

The soldiers rushed at the order.

They were born as criminal soldiers. What they disliked most were officials and businessmen. Naturally, they would not be merciful at this time.

A group of people like wolves and tigers also made chickens fly and dogs jump in the field.

"You dare!"

Magistrate Lu roared, "Liu An, you are just a general. Who gives you the right to take it?"

"How dare you!"

"I dare not. I don't need Lord Lu to worry."

Guo fan kicked the wine table in front of him, but Ling Li said, "as a Liang official and a Haoshang, you have a high position and hold money and food, but you don't want to serve the country. Instead, you embezzle people's fields while taking advantage of natural and man-made disasters."

"The people are poor and displaced. You can't have such a good thing in the world!"

"What's the use of these people?"

"Liu An!"

Magistrate Lu trembled angrily and shouted at him with one finger: "you... You're going to rebel!"

"Rebellion?"

Guo fan's eyes shrunk, his body flashed, and suddenly appeared in front of magistrate Lu.

With a big hand, the strength broke out and directly smashed the head of governor Lu, splashing plasma.

He was covered in blood and turned his head to the field.

"Lu Shupan colluded with bandits and sold money and grain privately. It's no different from rebellion. Now he's killed by me. Who doesn't agree?"

Kneel down for collection, recommended tickets, reward
