Xiaoyue Tower.

The most prosperous place in Dingkang City.

On this day, the rich merchants and senior officials in the city gathered here. The sky was already dark and the place was still brightly lit.

In the restaurant, the prefect Lu Shupan sat upright and was raising his own glass to invite him to drink.

More than ten people at the deskmate, except for the Tongzong Wu Bing and others, they are all wealthy merchants in the city.

All the seven great masters of Dingkang City are here.

There were other merchants and officials sitting everywhere, with dozens of people gathering together.

"It's a coincidence that several of them invited each other at the same time, but Lu's clone was weak and he had to invite them together here."

Magistrate Lu put down the wine cup and said with a smile: "But there is no need for such a thing in the future!"

"You are kind to you, sir."

The rich merchants praised: "Thank you to the adults, Dingkang City was able to be peaceful and we have this stable life."

"If this kindness is not repaid, how can we have the face to meet others? I hope you won't be so polite."

"Ha ha……"

Prefect Lu laughed.

At this time, a small official walked up quickly, lay in his ear and muttered a few words.

"oh!"

Magistrate Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Since he is here, let him come in, so as not to lose his composure in front of all the elders."

"yes!"

The minor official bowed and said that.

"grown ups."

Mr. Zheng, a wealthy merchant, asked sideways: "Who is here? But the old friend of the adults? Then we have to get to know each other."

“Not bad, not bad.”

Everyone nodded.

"This person, don't make friends. If one is not easy to annoy him, even if I say something, it won't work."

Magistrate Lu shook his head and said, "This man is a military general and a reckless man. He just went to the government office, but he probably didn't find anyone. He is chasing him here!"

"General?"

One person tentatively said, "But the General Liu who came from the north and was ordered to suppress the rebellion?"

"good."

Prefect Lu nodded.

"It seems that he has been to Yangwangtun."

The magistrate Wu smiled coldly and said, "But a reckless man, I really think it's enough to have a lot of strength in marching and fighting? I don't have money or food, so I see what he uses to fight."

"snort!"

"He is nothing without us governing him!"

"What a big tone!"

Suddenly, a cold and solemn sounded.

When everyone heard the sound, they saw a strong man wearing strong clothes and strode in the courtyard of Xiaoyue Tower, heading straight towards this place.

The person coming is Guo Fan!

Beside him, Mo Linglong and Gongsun Yun followed him as usual, but no one else was seen.

When he came closer, Guo Fan lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Tongzong: "If I remember correctly, you should be the Tongzong here, right?"

"good!"

Wu Tong's cheeks were tense and he slowly stood up from his seat: "It's me, Wu Bing, what do you want to do?"

Although he was tough, his thighs were trembling under the pressure of the other party's aura, which was obviously lacking in confidence.

"snort!"

A trace of disdain flashed in Guo Fan's eyes: "Get out!"

"you……"

Punishment Wu Tong was about to speak, but Gongsun Yun grabbed the shoulder and threw it out of the house.

"Bang..."

"Ouch!"

Some noises sounded, making the house look more dull.

"General Liu."

The corner of Magistrate Lu's mouth twitched, and he froze in his seat and smiled violently: "Why do you have to do this? Since you are here, sit down first."

"Come!"

He tapped his palms and shouted, "Change another wine and dish, take out the jar of Xingmao good wine, and I want to drink it with General Liu."

"No need!"

Guo Fan sat down with a big golden sword, waved his hand and said, "Master Lu should know why I came."

"Why did you come?"

Priest Lu's expression was restrained.

"Try something!"

Guo Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "I want people, food, and salary!"

"hehe……"

When Magistrate Lu heard this, he chuckled and shook his head and said, "General Liu, I won't give it to you, but it's really a good wife who can't cook without rice."

"The situation is difficult now, with several states droughts year after year, people are displaced, soldiers are scarce, disaster relief, and rebellion are all demanding money everywhere."

"The treasury is empty!"

"Yeah?"

Guo Fan glanced at the food on the table.

Rouge goose jelly, steamed duck with wine, Panjin crispy fish, shrimp balls and chicken skin soup, etc.

There are also crabs that are big in the washbasin, fresh seasonal fruits in the surrounding areas, and fragrant wine that is lingering.

But this table of wine and food is very valuable!

"Lord Lu is so happy!"

"Why!"

It seemed that he could not hear the sarcasm in Guo Fan's mouth. Prefect Lu shook his head and sighed: "It's really not to be hiding it. Lu has already retired from Fengyin this year, and only wants to do his best for the court and the people."

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

"oh!"

Guo Fan's eyes moved and he said, "I wonder what sir can do?"

"so."

Priest Lu stood up, picked up the wine cup from front of him, and saluted everyone in the venue.

"Everyone."

"General Liu was ordered to come to suppress the rebellion and suppress the bandits, but the military pay was short of both. Now the imperial court is empty and the national treasury is unable to transfer the transfer."

"Today Lu gave up this face and beg you for the sake of the court and the people, I hope you can help me!"

Guo Fan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"Since Lord Lu spoke, we will do our best."

Mr. Zheng bowed and asked, "But I don't know how much silver General Liu is missing. Let's see if we can raise it?"

“The more you have the better.”

When Guo Fan heard this, he said in a silence: "But the court lacks enough, there are 100,000 taels of silver."

"Hundreds of thousands of taels!"

Everyone in the field changed color.

"so much?"

"The lion opened his mouth!"
