The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 133 Goodbye
Lu Changle has been busy with the aftermath, and almost forgot about this key person.

Hunting Demon King, Ghost Face Axe, and Huadilong were all little people,

After Iron Abacus took refuge in the Huntian Demon King, the three of them first formed an alliance, and then swept the entire Tingping Mansion with lightning speed.

After the strength soared, he also led troops to attack Changle County,

This iron abacus is definitely not simple.

Lu Changle said decisively: "Then, then I have to meet this dog-headed military strategist and see who he is."

Soon, a thin, triangular-eyed, mouse-looking middle-aged man was brought in front of Lu Changle.

To Lu Changle's surprise, Tie Suan wasn't afraid at all, when he saw him, he felt a little bit of anticipation.

"You have an iron abacus?" Lu Changsuan asked.

Tie Abacus looked at Lu Changle, with some doubts in his eyes, but he still said calmly: "That's right, my little nickname is Tie Abacus, I don't know your name?"

"Mianzun, I'm Lu Changle, the chief trainer of the Fuzhou Municipal People's Troupe"

"Sure enough, a hero was born as a boy, I didn't expect Xu Degong to lose to a young man," Tie Suan couldn't help but sigh.

Not only Xu Degong, but also himself was defeated by the young man in front of him.

Lu Changshan questioned: "Iron Abacus, Huntian Demon King and the others swept Yanping Mansion and attacked Changle County. Is it your idea?"

"That's right." Tie Abacus said frankly: "It's a pity that the mud can't support the wall, and the success is on the verge of failure."

With so many people arrested, the other party must have been interrogated. They can't hide it, so they just admit it generously.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Tie Suan looked around and said hesitantly, "Patriarch Lu, can you find a quiet place, there are too many people here."

"Just say what you say here. Those present are all people I trust the most." Lu Changle gave the answer without thinking.

As soon as these words were said, not only Yang Xuan and Yang Zhengbao showed satisfied expressions, but also Yang Zhengpu, Mu Sheng and others who were present also showed smiles on their faces.

Iron Abacus didn't bother with this question anymore, and quickly answered: "The previous purpose was to help Xu Degong establish a firm foothold in Fu, but now I have changed my mind, and I am going to save Patriarch Lu's life, and then send Patriarch Lu a fortune. "

"Oh, how do you say that?" Lu Changle became interested, sat on a chair, and asked with great interest.

"Patriarch Lu may not know that the Zheng family is ready to take control of Fujian again. Zheng Du, the second son of the Zheng family, announced the liquidation of the Lu family in Fuzhou. He admits that the bravery in the hands of the patriarch Lu is much stronger than that of the Huntian Demon King, but Facing the powerful Zheng family, I am afraid that it will be the fate of being slaughtered."

"The Lu family in Fuzhou is not valued by the government, and it has offended Zheng Du even more. The situation is worrisome. As the saying goes, you can't make a boat without one hand. If you find an ally and protect each other, there will be an extra way of retreat at critical moments. Patriarch Lu, you Right?"

Lu Changle said calmly: "That's right, the Lu family in Fuzhou has a sworn feud with the Zheng family. The patriarch still has a lot of things to deal with, so I won't gossip. Tell me, who are you?"

"The Eight Great Kings, Zhang Xianzhong," Tie Suan said proudly.

"Are you from Zhang Xianzhong? What proof do you have?"

"In the cloth bag I carry with me, there is a wooden spirit card. Break the spirit card, and my token is hidden inside."

Whether he wants to run or not, in order to survive, he can only give it a go and see if he can convince Lu Changle.

In Tie Suan's mind, this matter is quite sure, the Fuzhou Lu clan was dissatisfied with the government, and the old patriarch also died in the hands of Zheng Du. With nowhere to go, it was a good choice to seek refuge with the Eight Great Kings.

If Lu Changle is persuaded, not only will he not have to die, but the Eight Great Kings will definitely reward him heavily.

Lu Changle immediately had someone search his cloth bag, and sure enough, he found a beautifully cast token in the spirit tablet. There was a word Zhang on the front, many complicated patterns on the back, and a ball of fire engraved on it. It should not be a lie, it belonged to Zhang Xianzhong. people.

If ordinary people see the token hidden in the spirit card, they will think that he is a filial son, no matter how vicious a person is, they will not break the spirit card, right?
So cunning.

If he guessed right, Zhang Xianzhong saw that Fujian was in a mess. It is normal for Zhang Xianzhong to take advantage of Zheng Zhilong's withdrawal from Fujian and want to extend his claws to relatively affluent Fujian.

Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to conquer Xiangyang last year, and executed Zhu Yiming, king of Xiangyang, and Zhu Changfa, king of Guiyang.
It is said that he once wanted to lead his troops south to take Fujian directly in Jiangxi Province, but he was dissuaded by his righteous son Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, saying that Fujian had Zheng Zhilong's 20 army, with more soldiers and more food, and the chances of winning were not high, so he gave up.

Unexpectedly, not long after the chaos here, he made a move,
Iron Abacus supports the Hunting Demon King Xu Degong, obviously treating him as a pawn,

When he grows stronger, find another opportunity to kill him and replace him.

Lu Changle threw the badge and said with a sneer: "Zhang Xianzhong is a rebellion, which is a serious crime against the nine clans. How can my patriarch join forces with him? Tell me, how many people like you have sneaked into Fujian? Who is the connector, as long as you tell the truth, maybe I can spare your life."

Zhang Xianzhong is a moody, selfish, and murderous person. To cooperate with him is to seek skin from a tiger. If you don't pay attention, you will be eaten to the bone.

Fujian is really a good place, Jianlu wants it, Zhang Xianzhong also wants it,

Lu Changle has long regarded Fujian as his homeland, and whoever dares to stretch out his hand will cut off his claws.

"Patriarch Lu thinks clearly, one more friend is better than one more enemy, especially if you provoke a powerful enemy like the Zheng family, as long as the patriarch Lu agrees to cooperate, with the help of the Eight Great Kings, let alone avoiding this catastrophe, you will destroy the Zheng family It’s not hard to do.” In order to survive, Tie Suan did not give up lobbying.

"Mu Sheng, I'll leave it to you, make sure he speaks." Lu Changle turned around and said to Mu Sheng who was standing beside him.

Now Mu Sheng is the best torturer in the clan, just leave the interrogation to him,

The tragic deaths of so many fathers and villagers in Yanping Mansion were all caused by iron abacus, so he must not make it easy.

Mu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he responded, a little excited, dragging down the iron abacus that kept begging for mercy.

"My son-in-law, thief Zhang is powerful now, what should I do if I really hate him?" Yang Zhengbao asked worriedly.

For the imperial court, apart from Jianlu, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were the two most troublesome.

Zhang Xianzhong can even break through a fortified town like Xiangyang City, if he gets angry, Lu Changle will not be happy.

Lu Changle said calmly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the rotten boat still has three catties of nails. Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shiying, Ding Qirui, Wang Yun and other important officials are still here. If Zhang Xianzhong could come, he would have come a long time ago." , who would just send a few secret agents to make troubles, even if he really came, my son-in-law would not be afraid of him."

Although Zhang Xianzhong is very powerful now, he will soon be beaten by Ding Qirui, governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, and flee with his head in his arms, and finally he will have to rely on Li Zicheng to save his life.

The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty has not yet come to an end.

"As long as you have an idea, by the way, what are you going to do with those prisoners?" Yang Zhengbao asked with a headache.

There are more than 4000 people, all of whom are young and strong who have seen blood. Eating and drinking is a problem.

If you are a little careless, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Those who commit serious crimes and do many evil things are killed directly. The rest of them will be selected to join the rural protection team to supplement the troops, and the rest will be coolies. Anyway, there are many places to employ people now."

If it's other bandits, it's hard to say, Fuzhou Prefecture borders Yanping Prefecture, and many people are still relatives.

Kill a group of Liwei, beat the rest, and then use family affection and treatment to influence, it is estimated that the problem is not big,

Even if some of them are disobedient, they will not be able to cause much trouble in front of the Lu and Yang clans.

After Yang Zhengbao heard that Lu Changle said that he would surrender and not kill, he knew that he liked those young men, and he was not surprised when he heard that.

When Lu Changle was about to interrogate Yang Zhengbao together, Lu Changqing came over on horseback and reported: "Patriarch, when we checked the prison of the county government, we accidentally found that missionary Nick and his friend, Tom, Nick hoped I can see the patriarch."

The Fuzhou Lu family is no stranger to Nick. When fighting with the Yang family, Nick took the initiative to help treat the wounded.
On that day, Zheng Du died accidentally due to the accident of his personal guards, making a big fuss in the Lu family, and it was Nick who came forward to help, so the old patriarch bowled wine and explained the feat of the clan,
Considering that Nick is the benefactor of the Lu family in Fuzhou, Lu Changqing also attaches great importance to his request.

Lu Changle said with some surprise: "Father Nick is in prison? Where is he? I'll go see him right away."

I remember the last time I saw him was two or three months ago,
There was no news of him, and I thought he died of the plague, or else he was evacuated to Jilong Mountain with Zheng Zhilong, but he was locked in the prison of Changle County Yamen.
