The Northern Jin Dynasty Emperor had previously pretended to be an official and deceived in the major merchants, and the case had not yet been clarified, and there was news that these people had fled to the state capitals, and the empress was sick.

After asking, they clarified their shortcomings one by one, and asked again, now that these people are committing crimes in various state capitals, the criminal department can have a countermeasure, the criminal department is still in a hurry, the empress is impatient, and directly ordered a few waiters, among which the answer of a king waiter made the empress the most satisfied.

The empress ordered him to be in charge of the case, and Wang Shilang bowed down, and the secretary of the criminal department turned pale and led everyone to retire.

After they all retreated, the empress said to Lady Yao, "Actually, I am not satisfied with their answers. ”

Lady Yao didn't speak, but respectfully accepted the ginseng tea offered by the palace maid and handed it to the empress.

"Your Majesty. ”

After the empress glanced at her, she took the jade cup containing the ginseng tea, "Don't you think it's strange, since you are not satisfied, why do you still let Wang Shilang be in charge of this case?"

"Your Majesty's wisdom pearl is in your hands, and you have your own plans in your heart. ”

"What's the plan for that!" the empress took a sip of ginseng tea and talked to Lady Yao about the government before going back to the case. "Look, what kind of person is so bold and presumptuous, who dares to deceive the merchant by pretending to be an official?"

Female official Yao also pondered with her husband in private, her senior brother said, she had to send someone to other countries to check first, to see if they also had similar cases, if there is, it is not for the Northern Jin Dynasty, if it is only for the Northern Jin Dynasty, then needless to say, it is for the Northern Jin Dynasty.

There is also to send someone to check whether the backer behind the deceived business has made an enmity with someone, maybe the enemy has come to the door?

In fact, these should have been investigated as early as the beginning of the case, but the person in charge at that time did not send someone to investigate for some reason.

Female official Yao is a close minister of the empress, but she does not hold the real power of the six ministries, but because she is a close minister, she is more or less involved in many things.

When the Empress spoke of the case, she pondered for a moment, and then she slightly embellished what her husband had told her before telling the Empress.

"Well, you're attentive. The empress smiled lightly, "Guo Fuyin is derelict in his duties!" The merchant's report was accepted by Guo Fuyin in the capital, and it is still unclear whether this case was committed by the merchant's enemy, which is his dereliction of duty.

Female official Yao nodded and didn't speak, Guo Fuyin is the first prince's husband, and whether she is derelict in her duties or not, it is not something she can say.

After the empress pondered for a long time, she first sent someone to reprimand Guo Fuyin, and then ordered the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to handle the case with Guo Fuyin.

Guo Fu Yin never expected that such a small case would evolve into such a big case, and it would also attract the attention of the empress, which was really unexpected!

After being reprimanded, Guo Fuyin complained to his staff, "I knew this was the case, and I sent someone to investigate the case carefully on the same day." ”

"At that time, it coincided with the theft of the eldest prince's horse, the carriage of the Ejiang Palace, and the arson of the Ejiang Prince's Courtyard.

"Yes, yes!" The staff really said to Guo Fuyin's heart, compared with these three cases, the matter of impersonating officials and defrauding merchants is really insignificant!

Now it is useless to hold back his original mistakes, so he can only bury his head in the case, but beg to understand the case as soon as possible.

So Guo Fuyin and Shangshu of the Criminal Department investigated the case, but they tried hard but found nothing, and everyone was frustrated but there was nothing to be done.

After Miss Lu accepted the adopted son, when she went in and out, she took this son with her, and Miss Lu was friendly with Li Qianqian and others, so Lu Run often followed Miss Lu to see Li Qianqian and others.

Master Lu was happy to see his daughter and his righteous son close, this evening, it was rare for their mother and son to return early, and they had dinner with him, so he couldn't help but ask his new grandson, what is his impression of Li Qianqian?

Lu Run was dumbfounded by the question, and after glancing at his mother, Jun replied with a slightly red face, "Although Sect Master Li is young, he is well-informed, and it is really a great luck that his grandson can get her advice." ”

Master Lu was a little displeased, how could he continue this answer after he was called! What a stupid boy.

Miss Lu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to her father, "Sect Master Li Yu Gong is my owner, Yu Zhi is my sister, Ah Run has called me a mother, and to Sect Master Li, he should respect people as elders." She said angrily.

"Alas, it's not a kiss, if it's our Arun ......" Master Lu is actually full of regrets, this grandson recognized it late, otherwise, with this child's qualifications, he would have recognized his relatives as soon as possible and raised him earlier, and today he is also a talented and beautiful young man, and the Sect Master will never insult her.

This kid is still unpolished, this talent has not yet been released, people look down on it, it seems to be normal, but don't be afraid, let his daughter take him, often appear in front of the Li sect leader, this feeling is out! Maybe the Li sect leader and him have been in love for a long time that day?

Miss Lu never thought that her father would have such a plan before.

After sending Lu Run away, Miss Lu said to her father, "Although this matter has not been made public, however, the marriage of Sect Master Li has already been decided. ”

"Who's ordered?" Haven't you heard of it? Master Lu looked dazed.

"Who else can there be? Feng Gongzi of Fengjiazhuang!"

"He?" Master Lu said with disgust, "That child was born more beautiful than a girl! If you marry such a husband, you have to worry about her husband being robbed that day for the rest of your life." Master Lu muttered, "That child has no parents, is it his own decision to do this family matter? If he regrets it in the future, your Li sect leader will have no place to cry." ”

Miss Lu smiled, "Then it's not your turn to worry about it, let alone other people's family affairs, but when Mrs. Feng was alive, she made a decision with the Sect Leader of Li University, but at that time, the Sect Leader was still young, so he suppressed this matter." ”

"yes, since it didn't work out then, it's ......."

"Father, Sect Master Li has a father and a master, and I don't want Arun to fall into it. Miss Lu said solemnly to her father.

"This ......" Master Lu was stared at by his daughter uncomfortably.

"Father, I'm telling you seriously, Arun is still young, don't mess around in his ear. After a pause, he pondered for a while and then said, "If my father thinks it's too idle, why don't you help Ah Runxiang look at his wife's house?" If you insist on doing so, then I can only resign from my position as the steward of Rui Yao. ”

Once she resigns from her position as a steward, will Li Qianqian still cooperate with the Lu Chamber of Commerce? After weighing it, Master Lu finally nodded and promised his daughter not to mention this matter again.

It's not that Miss Lu wants to belittle the newly recognized righteous son, but how can these two be worthy of Lu Run?

The old father is nonsense, she is not nonsense.

Master Lu was very displeased, but a promise is a promise, sighed, and began to think about those people in the capital who could marry him.

Master Lu's plan was stopped by his daughter in time, but he was not the only one in the Lu family who had this plan.

Elder Lu Song and Second Master Lu are staring at the Lu Chamber of Commerce, but Elder Lu Song's son Lu Zhi, like Master Lu, has fallen in love with Li Qianqian, and his youngest son Lu Jun is similar in age to Lu Run, and is older than Li Qianqian, if he can marry Li Qianqian into the door, then Miss Lu will no longer have the advantage, not to mention the Lu Chamber of Commerce, even the Rui Yao Sect will become his bag.

It's just how to get his son to get close to Li Qianqian?

After thinking about the law, he finally approached his wife to discuss the matter.

When Mrs. Lu Zhi first heard her husband mention this, she sneered in her heart, asking her to watch Lu Jun marry a wife with such good conditions, and press her son and daughter-in-law in the future?

But even if her husband consulted with her, she would not push it out.

"How old is Sect Master Li? What do you usually like? Where do you go often? Do you know everything?"

How could Lu Zhi be clear?

"These things are not clear, how does the master plan to ask Brother Jun to get close to Sect Master Li?" Mrs. Lu Zhi asked, and said in her heart, I heard that Sect Master Li has good martial arts, and Sect Master Li worships him as a teacher, and his martial arts are not bad.

When Lu Zhi heard his wife say this, he pondered in his heart, and he was right, what his wife said was all about the point, if he didn't figure out these things, he would ask his son to approach, not afraid of effort, afraid of wasting effort!

"Then what do you say?"

Mrs. Lu Zhi sneered in her heart, but said respectfully on her face, "The concubine thinks that this matter is actually a reason to do business with the master, and if you don't find out the bottom of the other party, the master doesn't dare to do business with people, right?"

Well, that's right.

Although Lu Zhi's business is not as big as the Lu Chamber of Commerce, in the Lu family, it is quite a small achievement, and when his wife said this, he also reacted.

"I see. "The next morning, I found Fengjiazhuang to divide the rudder and pointed out that I wanted to check Li Qianqian.

When the guy who received him heard that the object he wanted to investigate was Li Qianqian, the whole person was dumbfounded, but fortunately, he was used to seeing the wind and waves on weekdays, and quickly reacted, and said to Lu Zhi with a respectful face, "This master, please wait a moment, I will go and invite our son to come and talk to you." ”

Huh? Please Feng Gongzi come over and talk to him? Lu Zhi was overjoyed, he didn't want his buddy to invite him, it was the helmsman who protected Shi Gongzi.

Lu Zhi listened to the other party's identity introduced by the guy, and he couldn't tell whether he was lost or disappointed, and when he heard the price asked by the other party, he immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Are you kidding me? Just check a little girl, and you ask for a thousand taels?"

"Master Lu, what you want to check is not an ordinary little girl, she is the head of a sect, and there are many people in the Ruiyao Sect who are strong in martial arts, and it is not easy to get close to her! The time and energy spent on this are not light, and the asking price is naturally high. ”

Lu Zhi felt pain when he thought of spending so much money! Moreover, if the money was spent, he would only get some data, and there was no guarantee that Lu Jun would definitely be able to get close to Li Qianqian if he got the data.

"Can't it be cheaper?" Lu Zhi took out his true business qualities to bargain.

Guardian Shi Gongzi smiled apologetically, "No." You get what you pay for, I believe Master Lu knows it very well. ”

How could Master Lu not know? The most common thing he did was to steal two pounds, so he felt that the asking price was so high, it was not worth it!

"I'll go back and think about it. ”

"Okay! "Guardian Shi Gongzi sent people out, and when he turned around, he asked people to keep an eye on him, and then personally went to report the matter to Feng Gongzi.

When Feng Gongzi heard Lu Zhi's name, he was slightly stunned, and after hearing that he wanted to investigate Li Qianqian's matter, he couldn't help but sneer, "I can't take the Lu Chamber of Commerce, so I changed my eyes to Sect Master Li?"

"Look, do you want to say hello to Sect Master Li?" "Childe, this is a good opportunity for you to get close to Sect Master Li!"

"Well, I'll say it myself. Feng Gongzi said calmly.

Nursing Shi Gongzi's expression of knowing and knowing, you go quickly, Feng Gongzi couldn't help but have a slightly handsome face, straightened his chest and went to Li Mansion with Xuanyi.

Li Qianqian was asking Miss Lu, why didn't she bring her righteous son today?

"My dad gave him homework, and he didn't finish it, so he didn't come along. How do you ask him?" asked Miss Lu with a clear throat.

"Oh, he said last time that he wanted to learn martial arts, and asked me if I could teach him, I can't teach people, so I told him, I helped him ask my cousin to see if I could find someone to teach him, and my cousin said that I had to see what his qualifications were before I could see who was available to teach him. ”

After hearing this, Miss Lu's face was a little not very good, her father had promised that she would not have much to do, but she didn't expect Lu Run to ......

Li Qianqian saw that her face was not very good, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I think about something, and I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

Li Qianqian didn't care, and continued, "Lu Run told me that the accident last time scared your father a lot, and he felt very sorry, he said that he grew up eating hundreds of meals in the clan since he was a child, and no one has ever taken him to heart like the eldest master, if he can have the ability to protect himself, he can only sit back and wait for death when he encounters something, maybe the eldest master will be more relieved." ”

Miss Lu sighed slightly when she heard this, and her heart softened a little.

"Actually, it's good that he has this idea. It's also my negligence, it's just that I thought that the Northern Jin Dynasty was your family's territory, so I didn't interfere, and now there are successors, and your second uncle and they have been eyeing each other. She paused and looked at Miss Lu's eyes and asked, "It's better to do this! I'll send someone to protect your father, Lu Run, and you respectively, don't refuse yet." ”

She raised her hand to stop Miss Lu from speaking, "This, I want to collect money!"

"It should. Miss Lu was overjoyed, she had always wanted to hire a strong guard to protect her father, but she was afraid that the person who came was sent by her second uncle, and wanted to mention it to Li Qianqian, but she didn't know how to speak.

Li Qianqian smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, I wanted to mention it to you a long time ago, but I was afraid that your father would think too much, so I didn't say it, you and your father have guards around you who have been following you for a long time, but Lu Run didn't." ”

"Yes. Miss Lu confided her worries to Li Qianqian, who smiled and said, "I'm afraid your father will think too much." Li Qianqian said again, this time the embarrassed person became Miss Lu, and his father knew it himself.

She left the Lu Chamber of Commerce and went to Ruiyao Sect to be a little steward, even if her father knew the reason, he was not without resentment in his heart.

Even if the Rui Yao Sect cooperated with the Lu Chamber of Commerce and made the Lu Chamber of Commerce go to the next level, it would be difficult to eliminate the resentment of Lord Lu.

"Sister Lu went back and told the eldest master, and when I went back, I would ask someone to come to the door to discuss this matter with the eldest master. ”

"Then the matter of Arun practicing martial arts...... Miss Lu sighed lightly, "You can't always have someone to protect you, he should have the ability to protect himself, after all, he will have to carry the burden in the future." ”

Li Qianqian nodded, "After my cousin has seen his qualifications, he may send the master who taught him martial arts to the mansion as a guard." ”
