A dark look clouded Lu Yuan's face as he smoked in the main house.
That morning, Song Chi had brought his several wives and some of his children to pay a New Year's visit to their aunt, Song Meiqin.
The New Year's greetings didn't last long, though.
Song Chi had suddenly pulled Lu Yuan outside, saying he wanted to talk business.
And what was this "business"?
The business was about suppressing the bandits on Liangshan, for which Song Chi had received great merit.
After all, he had accomplished it with astonishing speed.
He'd only been gone for a few days, and the Liangshan bandit problem was already solved.
The bandit menace on Liangshan had plagued them for years, with no solution in sight.
Yet Song Chi had led his men and finished the job in a matter of days.
Of course, the Court didn't know that the victory had little to do with Song Chi himself.
It was Lu Yuan who had taken sixty men and handled it.
