Chapter 12: Illegal Practices

When Lu Ran spent all night rushing and returned to Ningcheng.

Lu Hongyi and Lu Xueman happened to be having breakfast.

Looking at Lu Xueman's pale face, Lu Hongyi's eyes showed a trace of worry: "Xueman, are you still not healed with this injury?"

"I have to rest for a while!" Lu Xueman had a quiet smile on his face. She didn't tell her father about the destruction of her fairy vein, only that she was seriously injured and needed to recuperate for some more time.

When Lu Hongyi heard this, he nodded solemnly: "Okay, then you can rest well, the banquet that was originally planned for you has been canceled." ”

"Thank you, Daddy!" Lu Xueman showed a sweet smile on his face, and then, Lu Xueman glanced at Lu Hongyi's face a few times, she could see that there seemed to be something going on in the house recently, and there was always a touch of sorrow between her father's eyebrows.

At this time, Lu Ran, who had changed into clean clothes, hurriedly ran in, and greeted with a smile: "Dad, are you eating?"

As soon as he saw Lu Ran's reckless appearance, Lu Hongyi frowned: "Where have you gone to the wilderness in the past few days?

"No, Dad, I've been in the house all the time?" Lu Ran, who had eaten dry food and barbecue for a few days, took a bite of the food cooked by the chef at home, and felt that the delicious tears were about to fall.

Lu Hongyi slapped the table: "You still dare to talk nonsense, saying, what did you do?"

"......" Lu Ran swept Lu Xueman with his eyes and asked for support.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xueman's mouth, looking like he was watching a play.

Lu Ran pouted helplessly: "The gambling money is gone!"

"You!" Hearing this, Lu Hongyi seemed to be relieved, "It's good that you didn't kill people and set fires!"

Hearing this, Lu Ran couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and wanted to say that Dad, you guessed it accurately, my son really killed a lot of people, but they were all bandits...... But in the end, I forcibly held back these words.

"However, there is no way for you to go on like this, whose daughter would be willing to marry such a bastard as you?" Lu Hongyi said solemnly.

Lu Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes and continued to eat.

"Don't take it seriously!" Lu Hongyi continued: "You don't want to go out to play today, wait for breakfast, and go to a few shops in the north of the city with your father!"

"Yes!" Daddy spoke, and Lu Ran could only answer obediently.

After Lu Ran finished eating, he went back and changed into a more formal brocade robe, and then sat in the carriage behind Lao Lu with low eyebrows.

Waited until the north of the city.

Lu Ran got out of the carriage and saw that Lao Lu was already talking to a pot-bellied man. That man, Lu Ran, recognized that it was Gan Changshou, the largest medicinal herb merchant in Ningcheng.

"Hahaha, Master Lu, I heard that you have been in some trouble recently?"

As soon as Lu Ran approached, he heard Gan Changshou's somewhat mocking tone, and then couldn't help but glance at Lao Lu in surprise.

Lu Hongyi said lightly: "It's just some small problems. ”

"Hey, if a small problem can't be controlled, it will become a big problem!" Gan Changshou smiled, "However, if there is any problem with your Lu family, don't hesitate to tell me, we have been friends for so many years, is it still no problem for me to accept some of your Lu family's properties at a price higher than the market price?"

Lu Hongyi's face gradually became unsightly, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't dare to say how rich I am, but recently a few medicine farmers in the shop sold me a few grasses, and a few days ago a fool bought them for three thousand taels of silver. Gan Changshou said proudly, and then said, "Do you think that this medicinal material industry is also profitable?

According to the production level of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, one tael of silver is probably equivalent to the purchasing power of one thousand yuan in Lu Ran's previous life, and three thousand taels of silver is three million! In a small county town, a single order earned three million, this thing is indeed worth boasting about.

Lu Hongyi just said lightly: "Then congratulations to Master Gan!"

And Lu Ran, who was on the side, heard the name of this "Cold Crystal Heavenly Blue Grass", but his eyes suddenly lit up, what kind of grass is this, isn't it what those two Qi Refiners are looking for?

"Before, didn't those two Qi Refiners say that ten thousand taels of gold were confiscated in Fucheng? One tael of gold seems to be worth a hundred taels of silver?"

After a little calculation, Lu Ran immediately leaned over and said with a smile: "Uncle Gan, who did you sell your Cold Crystal Tianlan Grass to?"

"It's Liu Er's fool from Liu Yuanwai's family in the east of the city!" Gan Changshou smiled, then looked at Lu Ran and said, "You are the son of Master Lu, right?

"Alas, there is no way to teach a son, the old man is really ashamed!"

Listening to this old thing deliberately saying the opposite to express his mockery of himself, Lu Ran didn't have any spare time to take care of this old horseman, but asked with a smile: "Uncle Gan, dare to ask you where you picked this cold crystal Tianlan grass, but is there anything else?"

"Although this thing is not valuable, it is extremely rare, there are a few plants growing on Ziwuling, and they have all been picked back!" Gan Changshou immediately waved his hand, "However, I sold them all...... Alas, I knew that Lu Gongzi was interested, so I kept it for Gongzi, and maybe I could sell it for a better price......!

Lu Hongyi couldn't hear this yin and yang weirdness of longevity for a long time, and he had already entered the Lu family's shop under the greeting of the shopkeeper.

And Lu Ran saw that Lao Lu should not be able to pay attention to himself, and his heart moved, and he also ignored Gan Changshou, who was smiling awkwardly, and immediately slipped away.

He was afraid that if he was one step too late, Liu Er's fool would spoil this Cold Crystal Tianlan Grass!

This thing, but it's worth 10,000 taels of gold! It must be brought from Liu Er's fool! Lu Ran's eyes were shining.

And Lu Hongyi suddenly saw that Lu Ran was gone, and he could only sigh: "This kid ...... Alas!"

......

......

At this time, the county government also ushered in distinguished guests.

"The arrival of the uncle is really making the small county government of the lower official shine!" Zhang Changming smiled.

Yu Jingjia and his wife Tang Yijun, under the escort of a group of guards, slowly walked into the county office.

At this moment, this Ning Chengbo not only walked with a limp, but under the cover of his clothes, there were a lot of bruises that were pinched out, and when he touched it, he grinned.

All this is naturally the price of his willfulness to leave his wife alone yesterday.

When everyone arrived at the back office together, Zhang Changming suddenly deliberately fiddled with the file on the table.

Yu Jingjia has been in the officialdom for many years, and this bit of vision is still natural, so he immediately pretended to be surprised and asked: "Master Zhang, I don't know, what is this?"

"This!" Zhang Changming smiled, "This is the illegal deed that Lu Hongyi, a wealthy businessman in Ningcheng, has been doing in recent years by oppressing the good!"
