Adults also need a puppet
Liu Meixiang smiled politely at Master Hu, and after seeing Master Hu leave, he turned around to look at Feng Wenhai's study. The study is lined with wide pavilions and pavilions, and several pale yellow boxy lanterns hang from the eaves. The study is also planted with willows, the willows have a gentleman's style, the willow branches are thin, and the study is in line with the heavy ground.
Lying on the jade-paved road, Liu Mei smiled, but he didn't expect Feng Wenhai's study to be well furnished. In the distance of the study, there were several officials guarding with serious faces.
Liu Mei stepped forward and reached out and gently knocked on the empty doors and windows of the paper paste. "Lord Feng, I ask to see Liu Ruofeng and Steward Li."
At this time, Feng Wenhai's loud and majestic voice came from inside the house. "Come in."
When Steward Li heard this, he immediately stepped forward and gently pushed the door open. He is the eldest lady's subordinate, and things like this should be done by him, his subordinate, how can there be any reason to let the master do it.
Liu Mei walked into the room and saw Feng Wenhai sitting on the desk in the middle, with some books and folds on the desk. So far, there are only two study rooms she has seen, one is Gu Sangongzi's study, and the books in it are very complete. And Feng Wenhai's study is much smaller than Gu Sangongzi's study, and there are many fewer books, but it is full of simplicity and majesty. The furnishings of Feng Wenhai's study are very simple, but they are full of the taste of officialdom, solemn and solemn.
"Lord Feng, I came here today to ask Lord Feng for my guilt." Liu Mei stepped forward with makeup, bowed his hand, and behaved humbly.
"Oh~, then you should tell me what crime you have committed, so that the official can think about how to deal with you." Feng Wenhai put down the fold in his hand, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the willow eyebrows, his eyes were quite meaningful. Although all his thoughts have been spent on currying favor with officials in the past few days, it does not mean that he is completely unaware of Liu Mei's every move in Jiangnan.
As soon as Steward Li heard that Feng Wenhai was going to dispose of the eldest lady, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and as the eldest lady said, they were indeed seeking skin with the tiger now. For a while, Steward Li's whole heart was in his throat, for fear that Feng Wenhai would deal with the eldest lady.
"I was hiding my sin from my lord, and without the permission of my lord, I used the name of my lord to suppress those merchants outside." Although she knew that Feng Wenhai would not be angry with herself because of this matter, since she was working under him and wanted to gain Feng Wenhai's trust, she naturally wanted to say everything she had to say. Otherwise, how could she show her sincerity and loyalty to Feng Wenhai.
Feng Wenhai's face was neither happy nor angry, but his old eyes looked back and forth on Liu Mei's makeup. In fact, with the little marquis's protection of Liu Ruofeng, as well as his son-in-law Gu Sangongzi, plus the appreciation of the old Qiao in the current dynasty, Liu Ruofeng has no need to please himself again. But the facts are very contrary, Liu Ruofeng not only did not show the slightest recklessness in front of him, but was still as humble as ever. This was really unexpected by him.
"You're honest, but it's a problem. A small businessman dares to use the name of the official to run rampant and domineering outside, if it spreads, where is the name of the official's incorruptibility? ”
"So, didn't I come to excuse my lordship?" The willow eyebrows stretched out her lips, and her eyes were confident and clear, as if she was not worried about what Feng Wenhai would do with her. In fact, she had known for a long time that this would be the case. Feng Wenhai knew that he didn't need to lower his posture towards him now, but she was greatly surprised by Feng Wenhai's expectations, and naturally it was for further planning. Thinking from Feng Wenhai's point of view, he naturally thinks that she can break away from him now, but she is not just Liu Ruofeng. If her identity was so simple, she would have gone directly to please Qiao Lao and Xiao Hou Fei. The reason why he didn't resist Feng Wenhai was because of Liufu. If at this moment, because of her greed for wealth and wealth, she followed Lu Zimo or Qiao Lao, then wouldn't the Liufu that she had finally helped up slowly become Feng Wenhai's bag? She wouldn't be so stupid as to ruin everything she had built and supported with her own hands.
"This official also has a question I want to ask Liu Gongzi, with Liu Gongzi's current limelight in Jiangnan, why would he be willing to stoop to this official?" Feng Wenhai always wondered that this was really the case, and today, he was more interested in this.
"For two purposes, and this purpose can only be done by you, an adult." Liu Mei makeup suddenly raised her head, the corners of her eyebrows rose, and the smile on the corners of her mouth became a little greedy. She was telling Feng Wenhai that they were the same kind of people. "If there is no adult, then there will be no way to continue to run the Liufu Mansion in the next place, so will the large amount of silver be lost in vain soon? Are you willing to do it, my lord? Moreover, adults also need a puppet. ”
When Feng Wenhai heard this, it seemed that this Liu Ruofeng was even smarter than he imagined. He really needs a puppet, although Master Hu is sleek and good at observing words and feelings, but he can't believe that Master Hu is completely loyal to him. After all, where is this loyalty so easy to buy? Moreover, Master Hu is not ruthless enough in doing things, and his mind is cunning enough, but in the face of businessmen, he is a layman. There is another point, that is, Master Hu is the person next to him, as long as Master Hu comes forward, then everyone knows that it is he Feng Wenhai who is behind the control.
However, Liu Ruofeng has completely achieved these two points. First, he has a Steward Li as a helper, so he doesn't need to worry about anything going wrong at all. Moreover, Steward Li has been doing business with Master Liu all the year round, and he is also a familiar face, and he naturally knows each other among the businessmen. Second, although Liu Ruofeng is now bullying businessmen with his name and has to cooperate, it is he Liu Ruofeng who comes forward, not himself. He didn't want his reputation for hard work to be ruined like this, but Liu Ruofeng was different, Liu Ruofeng was now a traitor seeking glory in the eyes of businessmen. Liu Ruofeng is very smart and indeed a character, but what is his purpose?
"So, what is your purpose?"
"It's very simple, number one, let me continue to run Liufu. Anyway, Liufu is still a little related to me, and I can't be too ruthless and be scolded by thousands of people. Second, I need someone. ”
Regardless of whether the Liu Ruofeng in the cell is the real Liu Ruofeng or not, she must not take it lightly. Therefore, she had to hide that Liu Ruofeng before Feng Wenhai found out.
