Hong Quan, the housekeeper of the Lu House, is gone?
Lu Qian has a city mansion, and his eyes widened in surprise. This old thing is his enemy for decades. If he doesn't, he will be gone? How is this possible?
Ximenye's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Chenshi's housekeeper went to the old man's study, and after leaving the old man's study, he went to the yard of Mr. Zheng, and then returned to his residence to stand back and forth. Just now the door came to report and the people were gone!"
"Ah...that...that..." Lu Qian's eyes widened and he stammered. He wanted to say something, but he stopped talking.
Ximenye didn't say much, but the information contained in a few short sentences was massive. Hong Quan went to Lu Zheng's yard, which showed that his death was related to Lu Zheng.
This time Lu Jun and Lu Zheng were attacked one after another in Liuhe, and they almost died. Is there Hong Quan behind them? Lu Qian feels that this is entirely possible.
Hong Quan absolutely can't see the second room as good. Lu Zheng is his Lu Qian's son. Why is it weird that Hong Quan wants to kill Lu Zheng?
It's just that Lu Qian didn't know anything about this kind of thing, but Lu Zheng actually mastered it all? What shocked Lu Qian even more was that the old lady would let Hong Quan die, if Hong Quan was just an old man.
This old man holds the most secret and core resources of the Lu Family. The hidden forces of the Lu Family are in the hands of Hong Quan. Hong Quan is dead. Where did those resources go and who should take over?
Ximenye seemed to see through Lu Qian's thoughts, and said, "Master, in my opinion, a tacit understanding has been reached between Master Zheng and the grandfather. Hong Quan died in the hands of Brother Zheng, so the things in his hands are naturally different. Will fall aside."
"What are you talking about? He... he... a yellow-mouthed child, why is he holding the most important resource of the Lu Family in his hands. Why? This rebellious son, does he still have me as an old man in his eyes? Is there still this family? "Lu Qian went wild.
Ximenye bowed his head silently, but shook his head secretly.
He understands Lu Zheng's mind best. In Lu Zheng's mind, he draws a clear line between himself and the Lu family. The Lu family belongs to the Lu family, and Lu Zheng belongs to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng had nothing to do with the Lu Family for doing such a big thing in Liuhe. Now it is the Lu Family who depends on him to rise up, rather than him relying on the Lu Family.
Not only the Lu family, Lu Qian now also depends on Lu Zheng to control more family resources, and even needs Lu Zheng to advise him to make a breakthrough in his official career.
This is the reality. Lu Qian doesn't admit it and cannot change it. He wants to press Lu Zheng as his father, and he doesn't even have to think about it. With Lu Zheng's methods, there are a hundred ways to make Lu Qian unable to eat.
When Ximen Ye didn't say anything, Lu Qian's anger couldn't be quelled, and said, "Go, follow me to find this rebellious son. I have to see how capable he is. Is it true that I can ignore this old man? "
Lu Qian said he would leave. When he stood up, he was about to go out. When he walked to the door, Hong Shen blocked his way like a wooden stake. Lu Qian stared at him and said, "You know? The housekeeper is gone. !"
Hong Shen nodded and sighed softly.
Lu Qian said: "The things he mastered were originally meant to be handed over to you! Your Hong family has always held those resources for the Lu family, and there will be no exceptions in the future. I will go to Lu Zheng, the rebellious son, to ask if he understands what he wants. What are you going to do?"
Hong Shen said: "Master, you still don't go! Master Hong's life was exchanged by Master Zheng for one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"What are you talking about? How much silver, ten... one hundred thousand taels? He... where did he get so much silver? He..." Lu Qian was shocked and incoherent. He had to say that he was shocked by the number one hundred thousand taels. .
How much is one hundred thousand taels of silver? Piled in this yard can form a mountain. The Lu family is known as the top powerhouse in the south of the Yangtze River, but Lu Qian has never had so much silver.
Now Lu Zheng could easily come up with one hundred thousand taels of silver, which surprised him too much. Ximen said: "Master, the hundred thousand dollars that Brother Zheng earned in Liuhe is just a dime. More than 90% of the shops on the streets of Sankong Bridge belong to him.
In addition, the tens of thousands of acres of land near the dock are all his. Anyone who wants to do business in Liuhe without taking the road of brother Zheng is simply impossible..."
"Unreasonable!" Lu Qian said angrily: "A scholar is actually a merchant, what is the face of the Lu family? What is the decent of a scholar? Right now is when the school is tense, Lu Zheng does not want to work hard, but he is thinking about business. , Zhennai abandons the original to the end. Such inferior children are not easy to teach, how can they become great in the future?"
Hong Shen sighed lightly and lowered his voice: "Master, Brother Zheng handed me something, saying that Liuhe Master Nie will soon be promoted, and the county magistrate of Liuhe may be vacant.
Lord, are you waiting for a vacancy? Now the opportunity is here, this opportunity must not be missed! "
Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and said, "Really? This..."
Ximen on the side hurriedly said: "There should be no falsehoods in this matter. Nie Yong's outstanding achievements in Liuhe are obvious to all. Moreover, Nie Yong and Zhan Tianqi are so close to each other. When the prince is employing people, Nie Yong should not have been activated. suspense!"
Lu Qian's expression changed, and he paced slowly in the room. His idea of looking for Lu Zheng just now faded away.
Compared to Lu Zheng's disrespect, what Liuhe will be missing is much more important in Lu Qian's eyes. Lu Qian was thinking about it, hoping that he could get rid of the current situation and be able to have the opportunity to be on his own and shepherd the emperor's side.
He is now a five-rank official, but he is willing to be a magistrate. In his opinion, even a magistrate is better than doing nothing like this, eating and waiting to die.
It's just that it's one thing to have this goal in his heart. How easy is it to make it happen? He had been working hard more than ten years ago, and he had such an ambition, and he has been stubborn to this day.
Seeing Lu Qian's expression, Hong Shen sighed secretly, and Lu Zheng pinched the weakness of the Lu family to death. On the old man's side, Lu Zheng raised his hand and gave one hundred thousand taels of silver. All of Hong Quan's old life, including the hidden forces accumulated by the Lu family for so many years, was taken by Lu Zheng.
Lu Qian refused to accept it, and Lu Zheng only used a little trick to calm Lu Qian's dissatisfaction.
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, but even so, what does it have to do with Lu Zheng? Is it possible that he still has the ability to control the examination of meritocracy?" Lu Qian said.
Ximen said wildly: "Master, your words are not correct. This time, Master Zheng is in control of the overall situation. Looking back, he will inevitably have a fierce game with the Ruan family and the Gu family.
Master, think about it, how influential the Ruan family and Gu family were in the Southern court? As long as Brother Zheng is willing to use this as a bargaining chip, the Ruan family and the Gu family are likely to support you together. By that time, you will be able to make up for this vacancy. "
Lu Qian frowned slightly, and stopped talking several times. What Ximenye said was true, and it was indeed the case. But from Lu Qian's standpoint, does he still go to ask Lu Zheng for help?
How can I beg my son? Where do you put Lu Qian's face?
But in the current situation, Lu Zheng is indeed a key figure. He has resources that the Lu Family does not have, and has more wealth than the Lu Family. Now even the killer in Hong Quan's hands is under Lu Zheng's control.
If Lu Qian wants to get the opportunity to fill the vacancy, he can only get the support of Lu Zheng. Otherwise, how can he get the opportunity?
"Master, brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers, since Master Zheng has asked Steward Hong to pass on the message, he must have taken this matter to heart!
It's still early, so please put your heart in your stomach for the time being, and when we have accurate information, we will plan again. At the moment, the master should ease the relationship with Young Master Zheng. In any case, this time the grandfather’s birthday banquet can be so fulfilled, and Young Master Zheng is indispensable! "Ximenye comforted.
Lu Qian nodded slightly, his expression finally improved. He raised his hand and said, "Go, let's go over there and take a look?"
Lu Qian was about to step out, and the door outside opened the door and said: "Master, Master Zheng was sent to you, saying that he is busy with his studies and it is inconvenient to stay at home for a long time, so he set off to study in Liuhe!"
"What? Gone?" Lu Qian said violently, his face pale in fright. Lu Qian's expression changed, and Hong Shen said, "Master, brother Zheng came over to say goodbye to you in the morning. You happened to go to the old man's side, so you missed it. Then there is a door to pass on..."
Lu Qian held his breath in his chest and wanted to vent, but he just couldn't succeed. It was really too bad. He couldn't help but sigh when he thought about Lu Zheng and then about himself.
How is such a relationship like father and son? In Lu Zheng's heart, I am afraid he still remembers his father after all!
Lu Qian was a little ashamed, and more regretful, regretting that he hadn't care about family affairs for so many years, if not, he would definitely not make the family relationship like this. Now father and son can't get along, and the family can't be reunited.
...
Lu Zheng left, came hurriedly, and walked more hurriedly. The old man of the Lu family made a special trip to build and repair the house for him. He only stayed for one night before leaving, with a firm attitude and determined will.
On the carriage, Lu Zheng closed his eyes and rested. Outside the carriage, many soldiers led by Cheng Hu were on high alert. The boy accompanied him, and the master and servant were talking as they walked.
"What's the situation? Is everything going well?" Lu Zheng said.
"Hong Quan is finally honest, I have already included all the hidden forces of the Lu Family. There are three hundred dead men we can use now!"
"Three hundred? So how much?" Lu Zheng said in surprise.
The boy said: "It was unexpected, but we can't use these forces for the time being, because Hong Quan also has a very close brother to worship, and this person is hidden.
Hong Quan is dead, if this person takes a risk..."
"It's good for people to guard Hong Quan's mourning hall. If this person is not there, Hong Quan will not bury it. This person has come, and he has taken me alive to send Yingtian. If it can be used, keep it, if it can't be used..."
"My son, I understand!"
Just when the two were talking, a little white dove flew over from the sky, and the bird made a beautiful arc in the sky very naturally, and then got into the sedan chair.
The boy skillfully took a small note from the little white dove's leg. He glanced at it, and his eyes opened quickly: "My son, as you might expect, this person has already been caught!"
