Li Ruozhen hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter starts when I was a child—"

Then, she slowly told the dust of the past in her heart.

At that time, Li Ruozhen's father, King Li Yu, had eight surnames to follow, and these eight surnames were Changsun, Wei Chi, Cheng, Jing, Fu, Jiang, Wang and Xue.

On the night he was surrounded by Zhu Wen, he ordered his generals to protect his children to break through, he knew that Zhu Wen would never let him go, and after his children escaped, he set fire to his death.

However, Zhu Wen's subordinates still learned the news that Li Ruozhen's brothers and sisters survived, and sent people to chase and kill them all the way.

During this period, when crossing the Yangtze River, in order to cover the escape of others, the general surnamed Wang blocked the pursuers at the pier alone, sacrificing himself to allow others to successfully cross the river.

After crossing the river, they found Xiao Junxing, who had received great favor from Li Yu, so he took on the responsibility of protecting Li Tang's bloodline, and with his help, everyone fled to Hangzhou.

After two years in Hangzhou, Xiao Junxing sensed that King Wu Yue might be going to work against them and planned to leave Wu Yueguo.

However, at this critical moment, the Xue family betrayed them and stayed in Hangzhou. Others established Yufeng Village on the border of Wu Yue and Tang and gradually settled down.

Xiao Jun was both civil and military, and taught his full knowledge to Li Xingfu and martial arts to Li Ruozhen.

After his death, Li Xingfu was bent on recovering the country, but Li Ruozhen just wanted to live in peace, and the two had a conflict, Li Xingfu left the village with half of the villagers of Yufeng Village and moved around.

And the woman in front of her is Xue Yu, and she is the daughter of the betrayed general surnamed Xue.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was a little puzzled: "Senior sister, you should have been young when you left, and you have changed your appearance, how did she recognize you?" ”

Without waiting for Li Ruozhen to answer, Xue Yu took the initiative to say the reason.

"The place where Miss lived back then has been converted into a garden by me, and as soon as Miss went there, someone informed me, and I guessed that Miss might come back, so I immediately stepped forward to test it, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Zhen."

Lu Yuan looked at Xue Yu and asked, "Now that the matter is over, what are you looking for my senior sister to do?" ”

Xue Yu lowered his head and said with red eyes: "I have always regretted what happened back then, and I ask for the forgiveness of Miss." ”

"Since you have the heart to repent, why didn't you take the initiative to go to Yufeng Village to find her earlier?" Lu Yuan asked again.

Li Ruozhen said coldly: "Senior brother, don't be biased by her, she has not repented, she just hopes that I can save her father." ”

Lu Yuan frowned, and was about to ask again, but Xue Yu spoke first.

"No, miss, my father and I have repented a long time ago, but my father said that if we go to Yufeng Village, you and Gongzi will definitely kill us, so we don't dare to see you, but we also make amends, and my father once gave Gongzi 30,000 taels of silver."

"He came to you?" Li Ruozhen frowned.

"Yes." Xue Yu nodded again and again: "Childe has come to us three times, and each time his father gave him 10,000 taels of silver to start a business, didn't Childe tell Miss?" ”

A wave of anger rose in Li Ruo's heart, and he said coldly: "If he comes to you again in the future, there is no need to give him money." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Miss." Xue Yu nodded again and again, as long as there is a future for her, it is fine.

"What happened to your father?" Lu Yuan finally found an opportunity to interject.

Xue Yu glanced at him, although he didn't know what the identity of this person was, but since he and Miss were sisters and brothers, he might be able to help him persuade Miss to say a few words.

She said in a low voice: "Our family property was targeted by Cai Rong, and he made a random accusation and put my father in prison." ”

"Who is Cai Rong?"

"He is the nephew of the Marquis of Changle, and his father is Cai Xing, the Marquis of Zhenhai, who is very powerful in Hangzhou."

Is Changle Hou again? Lu Yuan had only been in Hangzhou for a day, and he had already deeply felt the huge power of Changle Hou.

"You've been in Hangzhou for so long, haven't you had no connections at all?" He said lightly.

Xue Yu bit his lip and said: "Doing business in Hangzhou, it is natural to have a backer behind it, my father's previous backer was He Shao, the commander of the internal government, but he lost the battle and has now been executed by the king."

Since then, many people have been eyeing our family's industry, first Song Hong, my father and I finally fed him, and who knew that there was another Cai Rong. ”

Lu Yuan was speechless after hearing this, it can be seen from here that the Xue family mixed well in Hangzhou before, if it was not fat enough, it would not attract so many jackals.

"Can you tell me about the business situation in Hangzhou?"

Xue Yu had the intention to win Lu Yuan's favor, so naturally he would not refuse.

She pondered the wording for a moment and said: "At present, most of the Hangzhou commercial market is divided by the four giant merchants, and the rest of the market is contested by some big merchants and small merchants. ”

"Which four giants?" Lu Yuan interjected.

"They are Bai Jin, Chen Li, Jia Ming and Wei Quan."

Lu Yuan sighed secretly, this sounded a bit like the Qi Ng scene when he first went to She County, where the four major chambers of commerce monopolized the market, and other small and medium-sized businessmen struggled to survive.

"What level is your family?"

Xue Yu secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Li Ruozhen, and said in a low voice: "Except for the four giant merchants, our family can be regarded as the first level." ”

"According to what you just said, these four giants should have backers behind them." Lu Yuan groaned.

"That's nature." Xue Yu nodded vigorously: "Behind Bai Jin is Zhennan Hou Dai Mu, behind Chen Li is Changle Hou Cai Gao, behind Jia Ming is Prime Minister Zhu Anming, and behind Wei Quan is Junshang." ”

"King Wu Yue also intervened inside?" Lu Yuan was stunned.

"Yes, Wei Quan's elder brother is Wei Hui, the chief eunuch beside the king, and he is mainly responsible for mediating in the other three families and not letting them go too far."

This should be the so-called way of checks and balances, but Lu Yuan scoffed at it, if you really want to stabilize the business market, formulating and perfecting laws and a sound business system is the right way.

"By the way, have you heard of Zhou Kun?" He asked.

"I heard that he is similar to our family." Xue Yu said: "However, their family's backer is also Changle Hou, so they have a very good relationship with the Chen family, and the two families are married." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan also had a general understanding of Hangzhou's business situation, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke: "Then do you want Senior Sister to directly rob and save people?" ”

Xue Yu was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that his half-day work had finally been in vain.

"I ...... My father and I have changed our ways, if we can, I hope that Miss can use the power of the official family to rescue Daddy, and my father and I are willing to go to Hui'an Mansion to follow Miss. She whispered.

"What official power?" Li Ruozhen suddenly spoke, and there was no feeling in his voice.

"I ...... I know, Miss is very powerful in Hui'an Mansion, Miss can use ...... With the power over there. Hearing Li Ruozhen's indifferent voice, Xue Yu was a little scared in his heart, and he slurred when he spoke.

Li Ruozhen didn't pay any more attention to her, and looked at Lu Yuan: "Senior brother, I want to kill her, do you agree?" ”

Xue Yu trembled and fell to his knees: "Miss spare your life, don't kill me, I don't want to die yet!" ”

Lu Yuan felt a strong killing intent in Li Ruozhen's eyes, this was the first time he had seen Li Ruozhen so murderous, which showed how angry she was at their betrayal.

"Why didn't you go to Hangzhou and kill them before?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Their father and daughter are very cunning, the master once went there once, saying that they were dead, until I met her today, I didn't know that their father and daughter should have faked their death and deceived the master."

Xue Yu trembled all over, biting his lip stubbornly, thinking that he was really in the mouth of a tiger this time.

But there is no way, Daddy is about to be harmed by them, except for Miss, she can't think of anyone else who can save Daddy at the moment.

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Senior sister, if you ask my opinion, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

"You say, I want to hear it." Li Ruozhen stared at him.

Xue Yu also quietly looked up at him, hoping that he could convince the young lady not to kill him.

Lu Yuan groaned: "Their father and daughter did betray you at the beginning, but they did not do anything unfavorable to you, if it is according to the law of Hui'an Mansion, they have not sinned. ”

Li Ruozhen was stunned for a while, lowered her head and was silent, Lu Yuan didn't persuade her anymore, waiting for her to make her own decision.

After a long time, Li Ruozhen said softly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Childe." Xue Yu couldn't help but thank you.

"You don't have to thank me, if it weren't for my junior brother begging for Qi ng, I wouldn't spare you." Li Ruozhen said coldly.

Xue Yujiao's body trembled, and she stood up on the ground, although her legs were shaking, she still mustered up the courage to ask, "Miss, then my father-"

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Let's talk about this tomorrow, your young lady and I still have something to do now, you can go back first." ”

Xue Yu was relieved when he heard his words, and the young lady seemed to listen to this man's words very much, and her heart was overjoyed.

"And where am I looking for you tomorrow?" She asked hurriedly.

"It's in that teahouse just now."

"Okay." Xue Yu nodded vigorously and said, "Miss, and this son, then I will come to you again tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he turned and left, his steps a little brisker.
