【348】Precursor to Decline (2nd Update)

Prime Minister's Office.

As soon as Prime Minister Lu Cheng returned to the house, he summoned the housekeeper and asked with a hint of eagerness and anxiety on his face: "What can happen in the house?" ”

The old housekeeper didn't understand why the old man suddenly asked this question, thinking that the most troublesome people in the house recently were none other than the masters who were injured after the palace banquet, the housekeeper thought that Lu Cheng was asking them, and hung his head and said: "The uncle has been locking himself in the study and busy with the industries he is responsible for, and he is also very cooperative with the medicine and treatment, nothing abnormal." Young Master Yuesun was still very irritable today as a few days ago, and he killed another concubine in the courtyard, and the Tongfang was also beaten. ”

Prime Minister Lu Cheng listened silently, without getting angry or expressionless, and the old housekeeper continued to say: "There is also Miss Pianran Sun, who is still closed and does not allow the maids in the courtyard to enter the room, I think it is that she has not recovered from the blow, but her appetite seems to be slightly better today." ”

In fact, Lu Yue and Lu Pianran are inhumane, the other is disfigured, it can be said that they have basically lost their value, originally Lu Yue was a gentleman, in addition to being sweet in front of the elders, he can also let the family help wipe his ass if he commits a crime, and he can't expect him to inherit the family business, and Lu Pianran, it is a pity to lose such a bargaining chip that can bring benefits to the marriage of the Lu family.

Fortunately, there is still one Lu Wanying left to use, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

After listening to this, Prime Minister Lu asked what the rest of the family had done today, and found that there was indeed nothing abnormal, no difference between weekdays, Zhao and Liu each had a child who had an accident, and they tried to explain their heartache, and they had not been out for many days, and they would be seen as jokes by other ladies when they went out, so they simply stayed at home and pretended to be deaf and dumb and couldn't hear anything.

Lu Yan wanted to take the opportunity to get as much of the family's property as possible because of Lu Cheng's loss of an arm, and he had been busy with his own affairs for the past few days, and he couldn't think of anything else.

After thinking for a long time, Prime Minister Lu suddenly thought of the person he had almost forgotten, and suddenly raised his head and said, "What about Tingfeng?" Did he go out? ”

"Master Tingfeng Sun, he ......" The housekeeper was just about to answer, and he heard someone say before him: "Grandpa, I'm here." ”

Prime Minister Lu Cheng and the old housekeeper looked at the door, and the person who was walking in was not the Lu Tingfeng they just mentioned, but who was it?

Prime Minister Lu Cheng looked at his dress, lowered his face and asked, "You went out today!?" ”

"yes." Lu Tingfeng didn't seem to notice his gloomy face, bowed to him slightly, and replied: "Isn't today the day when Ruyi Building opened, I went there to have a look, and I also tasted the food there by the way." ”

"Went to Ruyi Building?" Lu Chengxiang's complexion changed slightly, but the tension in his eyes was also slightly relieved, and he also remembered that he had indeed said before that he should pay attention to the movements of Ruyi Building.

One of the industries in Lu Tingfeng's hands is under the name of the Lu family, and it is also one of the top ten restaurants in the capital.

Prime Minister Lu asked him thoughtfully: "Did you find anything wrong when you were in Ruyi Building?" ”

Lu Tingfeng looked at the old man in surprise and said, "What is wrong with grandpa?" After that, he felt that it should refer to the business aspect, and said to himself: "Ruyi Lou has come to a lot of dignitaries today, Zhou Shilang from the household department, as well as Xuan Shilang from the Criminal Department, the second son of the Situ family, and many other officials have gone to the scene, the scene is very spectacular, there are many guests, and the food in Ruyi Lou is indeed very extraordinary, and it may really affect the business of the restaurant in the future." ”

Prime Minister Lu frowned, of course he knew that these people who already had a personal relationship with the crown prince and princess would go.

Prime Minister Lu said impatiently: "That's not what I'm asking, let me ask you, have you ever seen the crown prince and the crown princess?" ”

"See." Lu Tingfeng nodded without doubt: "Today is the opening of the Ruyi Building, and the crown princess is definitely going to show up, but I sit in a corner on the first floor, and I think the prince and the princess should not have found out about my deposit." ”

Prime Minister Lu asked anxiously, "Have you ever noticed anything wrong with them?" ”

"What's wrong...... Lu Tingfeng touched his chin and thought about it, then patted his head and said, "Speaking ......"

Prime Minister Lu Cheng's body tensed up all of a sudden, staring at him deadly.

"At around noon, the crown prince and His Royal Highness the crown princess didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly left the Ruyi Building with a not very good look."

Prime Minister Lu Cheng's eyes changed slightly.

Lu Tingfeng paid attention to his demeanor, sneered secretly in his heart, but still said respectfully on his face: "Not long after, someone came back, it seemed that he had said something to the princess's mother's family, and the faces of those two people turned white all of a sudden, and it seemed that something not very good had happened, grandpa, did something happen to the prince and the princess?" ”

"No, you're thinking too much." Prime Minister Lu shook his head and denied it.

Since the emperor said that he would never allow them to leak half a sentence, even if he was ambitious, he would not try to provoke Long Wei in this regard, this incident obviously completely angered the emperor, and it was too late for him to completely clear up the relationship as much as possible, how could he do something that might involve the entire Lu family.

From Lu Tingfeng's words, he can be regarded as sure that the accident of the little emperor and grandson should be true, and since Lu Tingfeng has been staying in Ruyi Building, it is impossible to think that it will have anything to do with this matter.

Prime Minister Lu Cheng's uneasiness in his heart finally subsided a little, and he asked Lu Tingfeng some details, and after making sure that there was no problem, he waved his hand and asked him to go down.

Lu Tingfeng didn't stay long, he saluted again and left, but neither Prime Minister Lu nor the old housekeeper noticed that Lu Tingfeng did not go directly back to the courtyard where he lived, but walked to the courtyard that Prime Minister Lu Cheng had just changed for Lu Yue and Lu Pianran not long ago.

Lu Yue and Lu Pianran's temperament has changed greatly since the accident, and they beat and scolded the subordinates in the house at every turn, and even killed several people, Lu Yue is the main one

There are several, Lu Yue mainly killed the concubines around him, who let him abolish his own thing? After trying it on the concubine, if there is no movement, it will naturally turn out to those women, and Lu Pianran has killed a lot of the maids around her, and the reason is similar to Lu Yue.

Either the maids were frightened by the long scar on Lu Pianran's face and changed their faces in front of her, and then they were killed by the stimulated Lu Pianran, or the more iconic maids were disliked by Lu Pianran, ruining their appearance.

Prime Minister Lu Cheng didn't say anything when he knew about this, but it was just a few subordinates, and if they died, they would die, if they could kill a few more subordinates to settle down, those subordinates would be considered to be worthy of death.

Lu Tingfeng, who guessed the old man's thoughts, couldn't help but show a mocking smile.

What is the richest and most powerful family in the capital, in his opinion, it should be said that it is the most corrupt and inhumane family in the capital!

When he approached the courtyard where Lu Yue lived, he happened to see several subordinates carrying a corpse and walking out, and those subordinates saluted him respectfully after seeing him.

Now in the Lu family, the big house has only one eldest daughter who has married and has no ability to do nothing, and the eldest son and several concubines who have a very low sense of zài, and the second house originally Lu Tingfeng, the second son, had no zài sense like the eldest son of the big house a few years ago, but in recent years, it has become more and more outstanding, and even attracted the attention of Prime Minister Lu Cheng, and now the second lady's beloved son Lu Yue has an accident again, and Lu Hong, for some unspeakable reasons, is not liked by the second master Lu Yan, Therefore, Lu Tingfeng's status in the Lu family has invisibly improved a lot.

Except for a few old people who served by Prime Minister Lu Cheng's side, few other people dared to take it in front of Lu Tingfeng, Young Master Sun, let alone the people around Lu Yue, who had become a waste.

"Lu Yue is still going crazy?" Lu Tingfeng sneered unceremoniously and asked.

Several subordinates lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, even if they felt that Young Master Yue Sun was indeed about to be driven crazy, they didn't dare to say it blatantly, in case Young Master Sun knew, the next thing was that they should suffer.

Lu Yue is mainly venting at those concubines, but once the anger comes up, he will also punch and kick other subordinates, and yesterday one accidentally provoked him, and he was beaten and crippled, and it was the same thing, which can be regarded as Lu Yue's dark psychology of 'I am inhumane, you don't think about humanity'.

If you can't do it yourself, you have to let the people around you not do it, just for the dark thoughts that he occasionally has, the people around him are all in danger, and they are waiting for them every day, for fear of being abolished by Lu Yue, and they will no longer be able to pass on the ancestry in this life.

"Alright, you all go down." Lu Tingfeng didn't intend to embarrass them, and casually waved his hand and asked them to hurry up and dispose of the corpse.

The subordinates didn't dare to stay longer and hurriedly left, but when the people in front of him were not paying attention, Lu Tingfeng grabbed the last one of the subordinates, and then turned to a secluded corner, squinted a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what happened in the courtyard of Lu Yue and Lu Pianran today." ”

This subordinate looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looks like an honest person, but when Lu Tingfeng asked, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the two wooden people, and the honest appearance was also swept away, and he quickly reported today's events in detail.

The content is similar to what Prime Minister Lu Cheng learned from the old housekeeper, but because he was a nail specially arranged by Lu Tingfeng, he deliberately paid attention to every detail, unlike the old housekeeper, who thought that these two people were useless to the Lu family, but just paid attention to the big picture.

Therefore, relatively speaking, Lu Tingfeng knew more about the current situation of Lu Yue and Lu Pianran than Prime Minister Lu Cheng.

When the young man finished explaining, Lu Tingfeng's face showed a determined expression of 'sure enough', took out a piece of ten taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it to the young man, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Continue to star, once you are suspected, don't continue to lurk, find a way to get out by yourself." ”

"Yes, young master." The boy nodded vigorously, and when he came out of the corner, he turned into a wooden appearance again, and caught up with the people who were walking away, and when asked why they came so late, they only said that it was urgent, and did not arouse any suspicion.

Lu Tingfeng walked to the door of Lu Yue's courtyard, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Lu Yue's angry scolding faintly from inside, but he didn't go in to further stimulate the other party, just listened carefully for a while, then pulled the corners of his lips and disappeared the trace, and turned to Lu Pianran's courtyard.

Compared with Lu Yue's courtyard, which kept beating and scolding from morning to night, Lu Pianran's courtyard seemed much duller, as if there was no one living in it.

Lu Pianran has killed the maids in the past few days, but she doesn't like to listen to those sharp screams, and every time she moves, she will let people cover the mouths of those maids, so even if she is scratching the face of a certain maid now, it is impossible for Lu Tingfeng to hear the slightest movement outside, and there is only a yin qi lingering in the entire courtyard.

This courtyard used to be the courtyard where Lu Yan, that is, the man who was his father lived in a concubine, and for a while the concubine was quite favored, and was assassinated by the woman who was both his stepmother and his aunt, and died in this courtyard......

Lu Tingfeng didn't know what he thought, his face suddenly turned cold, and his expression looking at the courtyard also revealed a touch of ruthlessness and hatred.

At this moment, the door of the room where Lu Pianran lived was suddenly opened, and two little maids with earthy faces and blurred flesh and blood and still twitching bodies came out, which was fortunately similar to what he had just seen in another courtyard not long ago.

Lu Tingfeng instantly restrained the look on his face, only noticed the movement over there in the dark, and thought endlessly in his heart, this Lu family is really carved out of a mold

A mold is carved, whether it is Lu Yue or Lu Pianran, it is obvious that one is in a big room and the other is in a second room, but once an accident occurs, what he does is like a brother and sister, and he can't see the slightest difference.

They are all so inhumane, they are all so cruel, and they don't treat human life as human life.

In their eyes, the lives of these subordinates are not as valuable as a dog.

As soon as the two little servants lifted the maid out, Lu Pianran's face with two big cuts on half of his face appeared in Lu Tingfeng's line of sight, to be precise, it was covered with a gauze scarf, but it still couldn't completely cover the scarf's face.

However, what really attracts attention is not the disfigured face looming under the scarf, but Lu Pianran's eyes that were cold and unconcealable in the past, but at this time they were replaced by anger, jealousy, and a hint of happiness, and the whole person's temperament and before participating in the palace banquet have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Even if she didn't say a word, just looked at the maid who was out of breath suspiciously, it would give people a feeling of chilling from the bones, but I don't know if it was Lu Tingfeng's illusion, Lu Pianran at this time seemed to be as gloomy as she had seen two days ago, but vaguely revealed a bit of brightness, as if something happened in this almost desperate life that made her feel physically and mentally happy, and occasionally there was a flash of malice in her eyes, which could not help but think deeply.

Lu Tingfeng looked at her deeply, until she ordered another trembling maid to bring her some food, and then turned around and went back to the room, only then did she withdraw her gaze, and quietly disappeared again without attracting anyone's attention.

Although there is no proof yet, the details he found are enough for him to deduce some things and use them to fulfill some of the wishes he has been longing for for many years!

After returning to his courtyard, Lu Tingfeng retired everyone, brushed and wrote down some things in the study, and then stuffed them into the letterbox that had been prepared long ago, he believed that the contents of this would be of great interest to the crown prince and the crown princess.

Heh, the Lu family has been prosperous for decades, how many immoral things they have done, how many people they have killed, and now, it is time for them to pay the price for all the evil things they have done!

When Lu Tingfeng delivered the news to Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, everyone in the Lu family didn't know that in the near future, this great family that had been in the limelight in the capital for many years, and no one could match, they thought that the great family that would still be glorious for many years was about to usher in a great change that would make everyone feel that the sky was falling apart and being shocked!
