Chapter Twenty-Four: Slap
The thunder rang in his ears, making Cai Zhongtang a little unsteady on his feet, and everyone present was even more panicked and discussed.
"Persecution of Senior Brother Zhaoning? And ruined the master's study and relics? ”
"Didn't you hear, that account is also fake, I'll just say, if Ma Fang really makes money like this, how can he not get it when the master is alive?"
"The big housekeeper has also been suppressed a lot these days, and Mrs. Zhao has been kicked out, it seems that Mr. Cai is really ......"
Most of the unknown slaves and maids exchanged their heads and ears, and the sound of flies and dense heads couldn't tell where it came from, but every word hit people's hearts.
The three of them also began to sit still, looked at Cai Zhongtang and said, "Cai, Mr. Cai, this is ...... What's going on? Explain it to the eldest lady. ”
"What did the eldest lady say this, Senior Brother Zhaoning ran away when he heard that you came back, you should have asked yourself that you are, how can you push it on me?" Turning around to Xu Si again, Cai Zhongtang said coldly: "Yes, I admit that I destroyed the master's relics." But I don't rummage through the study, where can I find this strong horse's recipe, this Lu family has a big house, drink the northwest wind? Where did the 180 dowry come from when you married Miss Lu? ”
The end is extremely aggrieved.
This Cai Zhongtang's method of winning people's hearts is really unique, and he has completely picked himself up with a few words, and he also puts Lu Zhaojin in an ungrateful situation, putting the great benefactor who saved the Lu family in an unrighteous situation.
The wind moved in an instant, and Lu Zhaojin had calmed down his angry mood, and reprimanded coldly: "Presumptuous! Senior Brother Zhaoning is also called by you? ”
Senior Brother Cai's face instantly turned annoyed, he was a registered disciple, Lu Zhaoning was an official disciple, no matter how old he was, he should be called Senior Brother.
"All the wealth passed down by my Lu family ancestor was earned by you? My Lu Zhaojin's dowry still depends on you to save it, and as soon as the treasury of my Lu Mansion is opened, it is enough for the people in the capital to eat for half a month, and it is your turn to serve the animals to feed? Lu Zhaojin made a loud noise, and scolded Cai Zhongtang's face flushed.
She was so angry, her family was ruined, Zhaoning was missing, the third senior brother was beheaded, and even the loyal steward who had a little to do with the Lu family was exiled.
"Good scolding!" Old man Peng was full of anger, and he was the first to break the silence, stood up on crutches, and said as he walked: "Cai Zhongtang, it is true that you saved my Peng family's thirty acres of medicinal fields, but the eldest lady is right, our ancestors worshipped the master, and my old man can't look at you stealing the bottom of the Lu family with a clear conscience!" ”
"Miss, Miss, I'm sorry Peng Zhitan for the Lu family, I'm sorry for Zhinian!"
Old Man Peng was about to kneel down as soon as his knees bent, but Lu Zhaojin was willing to accept it, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, what are you doing here!" You will see each other now, the Peng Lu family did not distinguish each other back then, what is the matter, we will talk about it later. ”
"Yes, yes." Old Man Peng's old man, who had turned into a bad brain, finally realized that now was not a good time to ask for guilt, and took the initiative to retreat behind Lu Zhaojin.
"Humph! Discredited old thing! "Being scolded by Lu Zhaojin as a serving animal, Cai Zhongtang knew that her eldest lady Lu didn't think about it at all, so she simply didn't hide it, "It seems that the eldest lady is determined to target me, I, Cai Zhongtang, have been in the Lu family for many years, and I have no credit and hard work, my eldest brother ...... back then."
"Do you dare to mention Senior Brother?" Lu Zhaojin's voice was raised, and he said sharply: "Senior brother is wholeheartedly for the Lu family, if you have half of his sincerity, what does it matter if I, Lu Zhaojin, hand over this Lu family to you?" ”
The slaves and maids who entered the Lu house late whispered one after another, they knew very little about the senior brother, only that it was Mr. Cai's own brother.
There is an old slave who knows the past with tears in his eyes, and he thinks of the senior brother Lu Zhaotang with a strong nose, his real name is Cai Botang.
The great doctor Lu Zhinian only accepted four apprentices in his life, except for the little apprentice Lu Zhaoning, who was adopted since childhood, the rest were all good seedlings sent by each family, and after acceptance, he had to cut off contact with his family and change his surname to Lu.
It's a pity that Guo Hui Yi died, and the eldest and second disciples of the great doctor Lu died in the imperial court's medical order, and only the third disciple Lu Zhaoting is still in charge of the Jiangnan business.
The so-called medical conscription order means that the imperial court went out to recruit doctors from the people to accompany the army.
It was Lu Zhinian himself who was originally called, but Mrs. Lu was pregnant with Lu Zhaojin, so Lu Zhaotang took the initiative to ask Ying to answer the call for the teacher.
"If the senior brother is knowledgeable, would you like to see you persecute the junior brother, collude with foreign ghosts, and steal the Lu family?" Lu Zhaojin asked bitterly, she has always loved the eldest brother who she had never met but died for her father, so she also trusted Cai Zhongtang wholeheartedly, but in exchange for the ruin of her family in her previous life.
"The account books are here, you don't want to push them on these shopkeepers." Lu Zhaojin snorted coldly and threw the account book at his feet.
The shopkeeper of the six pharmacies suddenly knelt down, this eldest lady is really powerful, and in just a few words, he transferred the big Buddha that Mr. Cai moved out to his own camp.
Without Lu Zhaotang's talisman, he Cai Zhongtang is a fart in the eyes of the eldest lady of the Lu family!
Now the eldest lady's words can remind them, but I am afraid that this Cai Zhongtang dog will jump off the wall in a hurry and knock the basin on their heads.
"Miss, wronged! Treat unjustly! The little one didn't know it, and these accounts were all handed over to the small ones by Mr. Cai! ”
Lu Zhaojin's victory has been decided, and these stewards immediately confessed to him.
"Humph! Lu Zhaojin, what's the use of your sharp teeth. Cai Zhongtang didn't pay attention to those wall grasses, as long as the east wind blew towards them, they naturally wanted to come back and lick his toes, and he looked full of ambition and said coldly: "Don't forget, that horse is in my hands." ”
Malaysia? The three of Old Man Yu, who were already going to plead guilty, suddenly gained confidence and stood behind Cai Zhongtang, yes! Ma Fang!
"My Lu family's recipe, you dare to use it as a hole card." Lu Zhaojin looked at her coldly, but Lu Ping was a little anxious, and glanced at her again and again.
"What's the matter, it's surnamed Cai now." Cai Zhongtang smiled slyly, and his tone was grim: "You don't have to deceive me, since I dare to hollow out the study, I dare to guarantee that unless you dig out your dead father, otherwise, you will not be able to find this recipe even if you dig three feet into the ground!" ”
"You bastard!" Lu Zhaojin's eyes were red with anger, and he raised his hand to slap him, and wanted to fight again, but Lu Ping stepped forward to block him: "Eldest Miss, don't be angry!" ”
"Oh, old fellow, you're so good-looking." Cai Zhongtang twisted his face that was slapped sideways, took out a jade seal from his arms with a cruel smile, held it high, and said loudly: "Lu Zhaojin, you can see clearly what this is!" The medicine supply contract with the Ma Gang is written for three years, and it is covered by you, the big seal of the Lu family, if there is a half-point difference, half of your Lu family's country, but you will have to be surnamed Deng. ”
That's right, Cai Zhongtang is gambling, betting that Lu Zhaojin will compromise.
And she will definitely compromise, no one will be so stupid, let go of the wealth of the rich country, and gamble on this.
Lu Zhaojin looked at the jade seal and was also angry, angry that he was stupid back then, this Lu family seal was not what she allowed Cai Zhongtang to use.
She is now in a veritable dilemma.
On the one hand, she knew that Cai Zhongtang must ensure that those horses ate the herbs in order to frame the Lu family, so it was impossible for her to break the contract with the horse gang, and his threat had no effect at all in her eyes, once she was ruthless, Cai Zhongtang would be blind.
But on the other hand, she can't really fight with Cai Zhongtang for this ruthlessness.
Because he calculates so carefully, there must be a master behind the scenes, and once she gambles on the Lu family's wealth, she will definitely be seen.
A fifteen-year-old girl, where did she get this kind of courage, even the old man Lu Pingpeng would not agree.
And if she wants to catch the mastermind behind the scenes in the future, she must not be detected by him, and she already knows his existence.
"Heh, Miss, don't be so stubborn." Cai Zhongtang stuffed the jade seal into his arms, and his right hand triumphantly stroked the petite finger marks on his face, and the hatred in his eyes: "Give yourself a slap, or I will come, and then give me tea to make amends, we can discuss everything." ”
Lu Zhaojin's eyes were red and he glared at Cai Zhongtang's lewd smiling face, and his sleeves clenched his fists.
How dare he raise his hand!
