    If the news that Fatty Lu discovered the Phoenix Mountain silver mine was a thunderbolt that blew up the entire Nanning Prefecture, and even the entire Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, then the news that Fatty Lu was wounded by a musket in broad daylight in Nanning City,  It was the second thunder that blew up the entire Nanning Prefecture and the entire Guangxi.

    Logically speaking, the assassination of a retired county magistrate who has resigned from office to serve the people should not have caused such a big storm. Unfortunately, the stamp of the Dingnan Palace inscribed on the murder weapon and musket found at the scene of the assassination immediately brought the case to the fore.  It is dangerous to become confusing and sensitive.

    Everyone knows that Fatty Lu and Kong Sizhen have an endless grievance and hatred; many people know that Fatty Lu resigned this time in anger, and Kong Sizhen's shadow is probably behind Fatty Lu's visit this time.  Guangxi went to Rong Guoan and his son, and they also came here with the intention of sending them to Kong Sizhen to be killed. For this reason, they have explained the funeral in advance and arranged a small way out for the family;  On the day when the Phoenix Mountain silver mine was discovered, Kong Sizhen's slave, Dai Liangchen, in order to curry favor with his master, sent his henchman to coerce Ling Guoan and his son to hand over Fatty Lu, and captured Guilin to vent Kong Sizhen's anger!

    In the face of such a complicated background, Fatty Lu was suddenly attacked by assassins in Nanning City. The weapons used by the assassins were from the Dingnan Palace. Who else would not focus suspicious eyes on Kong Sizhen and Si Gege?  Perhaps when Kong Sizhen Sigege, who was thousands of miles away in the capital, heard the news, his first reaction might be to suspect that his servants were doing bad things with good intentions, and that they attacked Fatty Lu without his consent, right?

    Although Fatty Lu¡¯s life is not in danger because of his lack of killer shooting skills, in order to repay Fatty Lu¡¯s kindness in finding mines, the Line family father and son invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources to hunt down the murderer throughout the city, and Nanning City was also closed under martial law.  For three whole days, after finding nothing, Line Yuxuan personally presided over and directed the Nanning garrison to closely investigate the gates of Nanning Mansion, and continued to search for the mysterious assassin.  As a result, the secret negotiations between the Line family and his son and the two horses and one gold will inevitably be affected. Among them, Ma Xiong is better.  After signing the card, the Line family and his son were asked to give an answer within a time limit.

    On the seventh day of May, the sixth day after Fatty Lu was assassinated, it was just dawn that day, and Yu Xuan, who looked like a beautiful woman with thick dark circles, came to visit the small courtyard where Fatty Lu lived, as usual, and asked Lu  Regarding Fatty's injuries, Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "Thank you, Third General, for your concern. I'm fine. With the help of Divine Doctor Zhu, the wounds are already healed."

    "Really? Let me see." Line Yuxuan was afraid that Fatty Lu was deceiving himself, so he forced Fatty Lu to lift up his clothes. Seeing with his own eyes that Fatty Lu's wound had indeed begun to heal, he breathed a sigh of relief and said  : "It's really scarred, this is the best way, if Master Lu has any troubles in Nanning City, Yu Xuan really doesn't know how to explain to the world."

    "Third General Line has already said that since Lu Yifeng came to Guangxi, he made up his mind to throw his life here." Fatty Lu smiled brazenly and said, "It's just that Lu Yifeng never thought that they would use such a  The means to do it."

    "They have more methods than this, and they don't care about it." Yu Xuan, who was deeply hurt by it, sighed, and then said: "Master Lu, don't blame Yu Xuan for being wordy, if you go out in the future  , you must bring more guards. I have dispatched fifty soldiers with the best skills to protect your safety. Also, Mr. Lu must never eat outside in the future. It is shameless to poison the food.  It¡¯s not like they haven¡¯t used the means.¡±

    "Thank you, General Line San, for your concern, and Lu Yifeng followed suit." Fatty Lu also knew that this dead monster, Line Yuxuan, was sincerely looking out for his own good. Although he didn't need it, he also accepted his favor.  At the end, Fatty Lu sized Yu Xuan up a few more times, and asked tentatively, "Third General Line, your eye circles are so dark and your complexion is not very good. Did something happen? You didn't have a good rest last night?"

    Line Yuxuan did not answer immediately, and after a long silence, Line Yuxuan said in a low voice: "Yesterday evening, Lord Governor and Lord Zhongcheng notified us that they were going to leave Nanning tomorrow with a team, and told us that in view of the previous  The eunuch¡¯s opening of the mine disturbs the people and hurts the people, and harms the local area. The Phoenix Mountain silver mine cannot be mined for the time being, and we will not be allowed to mine the Phoenix Mountain silver mine until they submit an application to the court.¡±

    "Third General Line, the governor-general and Lord Zhongcheng are showing their cards to you." Zhu Fangdan interjected, "They are blatantly threatening, if you do not agree to their terms, old general Line and third general Line, they will  Please ask the imperial court to issue a decree to seal the mine,You go back and discuss it with the old general Line. Uncle plans to go to the nearby Taiping Mansion to inspect it, so he won't be in Guilin for the time being.  And your Uncle Jin also plans to go to Qinzhou to see the situation there. I heard that smuggling by sea is very rampant in Qinzhou.  You discuss it with your father for another day, then come back and give us an answer.  "

    "Also, Nephew Yu Xuanxian, please tell Old General Line that without the support of your Uncle Ma and Uncle Jin, you will not be able to fight against four divisions!" Ma Xiongzhen added nakedly.

    Fatty Lu had pointed out Line Yuxuan originally, saying that the longer this matter drags on, the better for the Line family and his son. Now that Ma Xiongzhen and Jin Guangzu have offered to extend the negotiation time, Line Yuxuan is of course wishing for it.  Thanks to the two uncles for your pointers, Yu Xuan remembered, then Yu Xuan said goodbye."

    The Golden Horses nodded and asked someone to send Line Yuxuan out of the gate, but just as Line Yuxuan stepped out of the back hall gate, a person rushed in after exiting the gate.  With sweat on his face, he said, "Jin Butang, Ma Zhongcheng, and the third general Line, I have been waiting outside for a long time."

    "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?" Jin Guangzu asked doubtfully.

    "Report to the governor, the six hundred miles just received are urgent." Han Zhang didn't have time to salute, and immediately raised the official document in his hand, and said: "Because Lu Yifeng, the former magistrate of Qujing County, who was born in the Pingxi Palace, was arrested in Nanning.  Assassinated, almost killed, Prince Pingxi was very angry, and decided to send Jinwu General Hu Guozhu to Nanning to investigate the assassination case of Master Lu, and will soon arrive in Nanning.  , Ask the subordinate officials to provide assistance."

    "Send Hu Guozhu here to investigate the assassination of Lu Yifeng?" Ma Xiongzhen hesitated, and said in doubt: "A retiring county magistrate was assassinated in Nanning. Is it worth asking Hu Guozhu, the eldest son-in-law of Lord Pingxi, to come forward in person? Isn't it too much of a fuss?"

    "Nephew Yu Xuan, come back!" Jin Guangzu's face turned pale, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and asked Line Yu Xuan to come back to discuss again.  It's a pity that Lan Yuxuan was not stupid at all, before Jin Guangzu could speak, he had already run out of the courtyard gate, and left Jin Guangzu's courtyard in a flash, even Jin Guangzu's followers couldn't catch up.

    "It's over!" Jin Guangzu sat back on the chair, screaming in his heart: "Why is that old Wu Sangui reaching out so fast? With his money and effort to support him, the Rong family will be even more secure. My 10%  Whether the dry stocks can be kept is a big question this time."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Fool!"

    Line Yu Xuan happily ran home and introduced the negotiation process to Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu turned angry, patted the table and shouted at Line Yu Xuan: "Idiot! Who told you to do such a great job? They are from Guangxi.  Local officials, even if Prince Pingxi wanted to get involved in the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine, he would have to pass them. Only by joining forces with Prince Pingxi can Kong Sizhen be completely excluded from the profit distribution of the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine! Jin Guangzu  They call you, but you pretend not to hear, and you have done such an absolute job, what if they team up with Kong Sizhen?"

    "I, I" Line Yuxuan felt aggrieved, and said in a low voice, "I was bullied too badly by them a few days ago, and I finally saw them being scared to shame, just, just  . . . "

    "Stupid words!" Fatty Lu scolded mercilessly, "Don't say it's just a little wronged. It's a smart way to cooperate even if you kill your father and enemy for the sake of political interests! Hurry up, take a ride!"  Not long after, go back and re-negotiate with them, say that you just heard the news that they asked you to go back, and then encourage them to join hands with you to start negotiations with the Pingxi Palace to jointly develop the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine.  Only then can that bitch Kong Sizhen be completely excluded, and your family can get the most profit from the Phoenix Mountain silver mine!"
