Mrs. Lu straightened her expression and said in a low voice, "I want to make a few IOUs to you." ”

"IOUs?" Du Hengshuang was puzzled, and glanced at Xiao Shiji again.

"They are using this child's origin to make trouble, but they are just taking a fancy to our Lu family's property. In the early years, our lord seemed to have promised the patriarch to send some property to the clan as a clan property, but I dissuaded him. Now that they can't get anything, they already hate it so much that the roots of their teeth itch, and it just so happens that Qiu Niang, a slut, is also seeking this industry, so they hit it off. Mrs. Lu said lightly.

She has lived for such an age, she has long seen through it. Since she was able to deal with Lu Zhongwang ruthlessly, she would not be afraid of these Lu family members.

Of course, these Lu family members didn't know what Mrs. Lu Dao Lu had really done.

said that Mrs. Lu "murdered her husband", it was Qiu Niang who said it, and the Lu family actually didn't believe it very much. But in order to sue Mrs. Lu's family, it is also good to pull it out as a cover.

"I naturally know exactly how much property our family has now. First of all, they don't want to interfere with my dowry, but I can't touch a penny of the public middle school property left by Lu Zhongwang! - Not only can't I touch it, but I also want to make them can't eat mutton and make a fuss! Although Mrs. Lu spoke slowly and logically, the fierceness in her words made even Du Hengshuang startled.

Du Hengshuang glanced at Xiao Shiji, saw that his brows were tightly knit, and he didn't say much, so he said, "You want to turn the industry into debt?" ”

Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded, "I know that Mrs. Qin Guo is a smart person, and she can understand it at all." ”

Du Hengshuang was suffocated. She remembered when she set up a bureau to make the eldest prince of Muhou. It's the IOU used......

Xiao Shiji also smiled, his eyes stayed on Du Hengshuang for a moment, and then said: "Mrs. Lu, I understand what you mean, but I think that even if you want to make an IOU, we shouldn't come forward." It's all too obvious. ”

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "This also makes sense. But I can't find anyone else I can trust......"

Du Hengshuang remembered the previous team of her father Du Xiancheng, and had an idea, and said with a smile: "This IOU." You really can't fight us. It's too obvious, and it's not good to drag Yanran and them in. However, I do know a few business friends. You can introduce it to Mrs. Lu. He said. He also winked at Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed. Hurriedly said: "Then it will trouble Mrs. Qin Guo." This matter must be fast, I don't know how to ......"

"Don't worry about that. I'll give you the address later. You go there and say you're looking for Duber, and the man understands, and then you say you need to borrow money, just ask them for an IOU. Du Hengshuang said, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down the name of a store, "In Dongshi." ”

Mrs. Lu looked at it, remembered it, and did not put away the note.

Du Hengshuang crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the Boshan furnace to burn it.

Xiao Shiji said: "It is not impossible to deal with the matter of family property in this way, but the matter of the title and military position is very tricky. ”

Like the Great Zhou of the previous dynasty, the title and military position of the Great Qi were actually de facto hereditary. Once the emperor seals a military position, it is basically given to this family, and it will be passed down from generation to generation in the family.

Although Daqi has only been established for eight years, there are already a lot of military positions like Lu Zhongwang and Xiao Shihe. Unless a major mistake is committed, such as the fault of Xiao Shi and his previous "rebellion", he will be deprived or dismissed. In general, it will be passed down from generation to generation within the family.

"I can help with military matters." Xiao Shiji thought for a while, "Lu Dalang's military position is actually not the same as Master Lu's original military position. It can be regarded as Lu Dalang's own earnings. Master Lu's military position, I came forward and dismissed him, so that he would be returned to the military department. Naturally, they can't be allowed to make a fuss again. Xiao Shiji resisted the matter of military position.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly thanked Xiao Shiji. This is also the reason why she came to Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang.

Xiao Shihe is also the secretary of the military department, and he can just manage this part.

The rest is a matter of knighthood. Xiao Shiji can't control this problem.

The title of the thing, in Daqi, as long as it is sealed, it belongs to the family, and in the future, the person who gets the title will decide who the successor is.

The emperor can only confirm it as a hindsight, and cannot interfere with the real successor to the title.

Since Lu Zhongwang wrote such a letter like a "will", it is indeed equivalent to the edict of the emperor's majesty, and its role is really not ordinary.

It is really not easy for Mrs. Lu to turn this matter around.

Mrs. Lu also knew this, so she didn't think about it at all. She smiled lightly and said to Xiao Shiji: "Zhu Guogong, I won't hide it from you. I really don't want this title. ”

"Don't want it?!" Du Hengshuang was shocked, "Can you really bear this breath and let Qiu Niang's son inherit the title?" ”

Mrs. Lu knocked on the table and glanced at Du Hengshuang, "Who said that if I don't want it, it will be inherited by Deqiu Niang's son?" - She thinks it is beautiful! ”

"So what?" Du Hengshuang was very curious, and Zhi Yi leaned on the table and asked her carefully.

"It's simple. I will return the title to His Majesty. - I will let Da Lang take the initiative to resign! Mrs. Lu was confident.

Lu Dalang's title was originally the lowest baron, but in fact, it was the same.

"Great idea!" Xiao Shiji couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "In this way, even Your Majesty will be on your side." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, "Your Majesty is there, and I hope that Duke Zhu and Mrs. Qin Guo will help our family eldest man say a few kind words." Saying that, he sighed again, "It was supposed to be Da Lang's thing, but now he wants to send it back, I don't know if Lu Dao Da Lang will ...... it."

"Da Lang is a good man, he won't blame you." Du Hengshuang hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Lu.

Several people discussed the way before sending Mrs. Lu out.

After Mrs. Lu left, Du Hengshuang returned to the house and saw Xiao Shihe standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside the window, and asked him with a smile, "What's wrong?" What do you think? ”

Xiao Shiji looked out the window motionlessly, and said leisurely: "I think." Mrs. Lu's matter is actually promising. ”

"What?" Du Hengshuang was puzzled, "Promising?" What do you mean? ”

"This matter, if you plan it well, it will be of great benefit to Your Majesty, and of course, it will also be of great benefit to your plan and mine." Xiao Shiji turned his head and looked at Du Hengshuang and smiled. Seeing that her face was full of confusion, her eyes were like smoke. Can't see the road ahead.

"Have you forgotten what you said? Then. I was locked up in a prison by the Emperor and the deposed prince, awaiting execution, and you came to see me and said something. Xiao Shiji walked over. stroked her cheek.

Du Hengshuang's eyes lit up. "You mean ......?"

Xiao Shiji nodded heavily. "This is our first step, and it's a good place to start." After a pause, I couldn't help it. lowered his head and kissed Du Hengshuang on the cheek, "You wait for me, I'll go to Anguo Mansion and talk to An Zichang." ”

Du Hengshuang nodded again and again, and said, "Why don't I go with you?" I'm going to talk to Susu. As he spoke, he asked someone to bring Brother Yang over.

Xiao Shiji thought for a while, "It's okay." You go talk to Susu. I'm going to find An Zichang. - This matter, I need his help. ”

The two of them took Brother Yang to the Anguo Mansion to visit the door.

Brother Ping and Sister An are both taking classes with Mr., and they have a lot of homework every day, but Brother Yang is left alone, and Du Hengshuang takes him with him wherever he goes.

Here, Mrs. Lu left the Zhuguo Mansion and went to the West Market for a long turn, and only turned to the East Market after the last turn, and in the shop that Du Hengshuang said, she said that she was looking for "Du Bo".

As soon as the people there heard it, they knew that the owner had sent it, and they hurriedly led Mrs. Lu to the inner room.

Mrs. Lu explained her intentions, only saying that the family was in urgent need of money, and she wanted to borrow usury from them and mortgage the property of the Lu family.

The people there gave her a large sum of silver according to the amount Mrs. Lu said, and at the same time made an IOU and collected a mortgage.

Mrs. Lu immediately converted the silver into her own dowry silver and deposited it in the bank.

After returning home, Mrs. Lu was alone in the house, made accounts for a few days, and finally reorganized the accounts of the Lu family's expenses in the past few years, so as to "do" all the properties of the Lu family's public school.

The day her family account was completed was the day when the head of the Lu family and the yamen of Dali Temple returned to Chang'an.

Almost at the same time, Mrs. Lu took her subordinates to Dali Temple one after another, and Lu Dalang, resigned from the title of a piece of paper, and returned the title on his body to Emperor Yonghui.

Xiao Shiji and An Zichang followed Lu Dalang into the palace to face the saint, and discussed with Emperor Yonghui for a long time on the issue of title and military position.

At this time, neither the Lu family nor Qiu Niang knew what Lu Dalang was doing.

On the public hall of Dali Temple, there were several important officials, and even Emperor Yonghui sent an attendant to listen to the trial.

Dali Temple Cheng personally tried the case and was very cautious.

After several days of verification, as well as the appraisal of calligraphers, it was concluded that the letter written by Lu Zhongwang to the head of the Lu family was indeed authentic, not copied.

That is to say, this thing, which is equivalent to a will, has legal effect.

The patriarch of the Lu family was full of confidence, and he spoke like a river in the public hall of Dali Temple, "Everyone, you know that your majesty has passed on the throne, and there is a testament, we can't compare to your majesty, but the one acre and three points of land in front of your door are still the master." - Mrs. Lu, how is it? Are you convinced? ”

Mrs. Lu said lightly: "I am a woman and don't understand these things. Since I don't understand, of course I'll leave it to Dali Temple and the officials to deal with. Everyone says yes, but if they say no, they don't, and there is no place for me to put a beak in a woman's house. ”

actually said it very tactfully, and his figure was even more soft, which was very different from his previous tough posture in front of the Lu family patriarch and Qiu Niang.

The patriarch of the Lu family thought that he had frightened Mrs. Lu, and he was very proud.

Qiu Niang kept looking at Mrs. Lu suspiciously, trying to find some clues from her face and see what she thought. Because Qiu Niang knows much more about Mrs. Lu than the Lu family. From the deceased Lu Zhongwang Master Lu, Qiu Niang has learned a lot about Mrs. Lu's deeds, and it is really strange to admit defeat without much resistance like this, it is not like her......

Seeing that Mrs. Lu did not object, the Dali Temple in the hall was shocked and began to judge the case.

"Judging that Lu Zhongwang's letter is true, the matter of Qiu Niang and Mrs. Lu being married should be logical, and the son born by Qiu Niang has the right to inherit the title. However, this son is very small and cannot attack the lord for the time being, so he can be borrowed by Lu Dalang. After this son and the crown, the title will be returned to him. The property of the Lu family, this son and Mrs. Lu's third son have the same inheritance rights. - If you are not satisfied, you can ask Your Majesty to make a decision. In accordance with the existing regulations, Dali Temple finally worked hard to judge this case.

"The old man is hanging high, and he is really a god!" The Lu family grew up and was overjoyed, and took the Lu family and Qiu Niang to thank Dali Temple.

Mrs. Lu didn't care about the trouble, and then owed a debt, and said, "The eldest master did judge well, but I also have a few words to say." ”

Dali Sicheng nodded, "You say." ”

Mrs. Lu said: "First of all, my son Dalang has already presented his resignation to His Majesty and returned the title to His Majesty. ”

"What?!" Qiu Niang jumped up suddenly. She had just gotten the verdict, and she knew that she was also the wife of the Lu family, and she suddenly felt that her waist was a lot stiffer, and she didn't speak so grovelly, "Why did you return the title to Your Majesty?" That's not your thing? Do you want to be shameless?! ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, and said slowly and logically in the words that Xiao Shiji taught her: "Qiu Niang, this title is not mine, is it yours?" ”

"Of course...... Oh no, this title is a lord's! The lord will give it to whoever he says, why do you return the title to Your Majesty?! Qiu Niang jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she was really angry. She spent two years carefully preparing and planning, just to defeat Mrs. Lu in one fell swoop and regain what belonged to her, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Lu would "kill a thousand enemies and hurt herself eight hundred", and she actually lost her title!

She glared at Mrs. Lu angrily, and her eyes were eager to fly out of the small knife, and poke a few transparent holes in Mrs. Lu's body to relieve her anger!

Mrs. Lu covered her sleeves and chuckled, shook her head and said, "Qiu Niang, you are wrong. This title is neither mine, nor the master's, nor yours, but ......" Mrs. Lu arched her hand in the direction of the palace and said: "It's Your Majesty!" ——Your Majesty will seal it to whomever you want! If you want a knighthood, you want to go to Your Majesty! I'm not unfamiliar with this thing! ”

Looking for Your Majesty?! This is deliberately embarrassing her, right?!

Qiu Niang was sad, she really couldn't accept that her sure things had been destroyed, she couldn't help crying, looked at Mrs. Lu, and choked up: "Where did I offend you, you don't like me like this, do you want me to feel bad?" Why do you want to rob me of everything?! You robbed the family property, you snatched the military position, and now you have even snatched the title left by the lord to the Lu family clan, not only snatched it, but you also lost it! - You say, are you going to force our mother and son to death before you are willing?! ”
