"Luye Freemasonry?"

Zhao Yu glanced at Liu Wei in confusion.

Without waiting for him to ask, Liu Wei explained: "It's not Lu Kuang's branch, Lu Kuang's Lu Ye Freemasonry has a good relationship with me Lu Yang, but because of this, it was hostile to another Lu Ye attack society......

"Weip?" Zhao Yu understood.

"Yes." Liu Wei nodded and said, "President Wei put forward conditions to my Luyang, asking me Luyang to expel President Lu and monopolize my Luyang market, otherwise he will obstruct the affairs of Jinggongqu ......"

"Those two guys ......."

Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Wei Pu and Lu Kuang, originally they were the vice presidents he promoted, but after his family suffered, these two guys began to fight and seize power, and the Lu Ye Freemasonry was divided, not to mention, Wei Pu was also expelled from Ye County and Luyang by Lu Kuang, and had to move to Ruyang and set up another door.

Unexpectedly, nine years have passed, and these two are still fighting.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yu asked Liu Wei, "What is the matter between Wang Dan and the Ruyang Zheng family?" ”

Liu Wei explained: "I negotiated with Wang Fengzhong earlier about the Jinggong Canal, and he agreed, but then he repented many times, and I thought that he was afraid that after the Jinggong Canal was opened to the river, I Luyang would gradually take away his status as Ruyang...... As for the Zheng family, the Zheng family is now an ally of President Wei. ”

"What?" Zhao Yu frowned slightly: "Wei Pu and the Zheng family have united?" ”

"Yes." Liu Wei nodded and said, "Back then, Gongzi forced the Zheng clan to withdraw from Ruyang, but later, in order to resist President Lu, President Wei reached an agreement with the Zheng clan and lifted the order that 'the Zheng clan was not allowed to enter Ruyang'. He looked up at Zhao Yu and said with a strange expression: "Regarding this matter, President Lu has quarreled with President Wei, but President Wei said that he is the orthodox and has the right to decide whether to forgive the Zheng family...... For this reason, the two parted unhappily. ”

“……”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be angry.

Not to mention, in the past nine years, Wei Pu and Lu Kuang have indeed fought for the so-called 'orthodoxy', which is simply speechless in Zhao Yu's opinion - these two people are not his sons, what kind of orthodoxy are they talking about?

When one day Jingnu gives birth to a child, it will be called orthodoxy!

"It's all here, let's see if we can solve it together."

Zhao Yu secretly thought in his heart, after all, the Luye Freemasonry was founded by him back then, and he was also his 'son', and after nine years, it was time to take his son home.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu turned his head and said to Liu Wei: "I will find a way to solve this matter, please Liu Gong immediately organize manpower to continue to dig the river, and strive to complete the river before spring ploughing." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yu took the initiative to accept the next, Liu Wei and the three of them were overjoyed and said yes again and again.

A moment later, when Zhao Yu was about to say goodbye and leave, Ding Wu called out to him and said to him in private: "Childe, it's better not to reveal your identity outside......

As he spoke, he whispered the reason.

It turned out that when Chen Taishi, Xue Ao and others arrived in Ye County last year, Ding Wu was also in Ye County at that time, although unfortunately he never saw Zhao Yu, but from the small talk of Xue Ao and Li Meng, he learned that 'Tong Yan, the governor of Liang County, was killed by the rebel general Xiang Xuan'.

As soon as he heard that Tong Yanzhong was ambushed by his side, there was 'Yingchuan Captain Zhou Hu' by his side, Ding Wu immediately suspected that it was most likely that the second son saw the opportunity to get rid of Tong Yan.

This suspicion, he only mentioned it to Liu Xuan, guessed, and no one dared to reveal it, not even to Xu Xuan.

Today, Zhao Yu took the initiative to show his true face in front of them, although this act of trusting Ding Wu was very moved, but because of this, Ding Wu felt that it was necessary for him to remind this son.

"I see......"

After listening to Ding Wu's advice, Zhao Yu suddenly became stunned.

Not to mention, after Tong Yan's death, he did relax a little, until he listened to Ding Wu's advice, he suddenly realized that Tong Yan's 'unsolved case' has not been solved, and Tian Guan, the imperial historian sent by the imperial court, is still investigating that matter, if the news of 'the second son of the Zhao family of Luyang is not dead' comes out at this time, this will undoubtedly arouse Tian Guan's suspicion, so that the latter will suspect the head of the second son of the 'Luyang Zhao family'.

Zhao Yu is also ready to take back his family's things in the name of righteousness, and naturally he doesn't want to be charged with anything because of Tong Yan's relationship - although Tian Guan may not be able to find the 'second son of the Zhao family in Luyang'.

"I'll pay attention, thanks to Lieutenant Ding's advice."

"Where, where."

After a few polite words with Ding Wu, Zhao Yu left the county government with Niu Heng, He Shun, and Ding Lu.

At this time, Ding Lu said goodbye to Zhao Yu: "Duwei, if you don't have any instructions for the time being, I want to go back to Zhengxiang first and go home to have a look...... If the lieutenant has any orders next, he just needs to send someone to Zhengxiang to inform me, I don't know ......"

Hearing this, Feng Bu and Zu Xing immediately showed strange smiles, which made Zhao Yu immediately guess the reason for Ding Lu's resignation, which was nothing more than Ding Lu's trip to Kunyang for Liu Jian to deliver the news, and he left home for more than ten days.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Who would have thought that Ding Lu, who was disliked by everyone like a scoundrel back then, has become a good husband who takes care of his family reliably.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, you can go back to Zhengxiang first, and when I solve the trouble at hand, I will go back to Zhengxiang to see you, I still remember that Ma's cooking is a good ......"

"Okay."

Ding Lu nodded very happily, and immediately took the two brothers Feng Bu and Zu Xing to separate from Zhao Yu and his party.

Looking at the back of Ding Lu leaving, He Shun said in surprise: "I can't see it, he still cares about his family...... Looks like a good guy. ”

"Huh." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "You haven't seen it, this guy was a bastard back then, Zheng Luo hated him to death, it's not so much that he has become better, but that the Ma family has trained him well...... He Shun, when will you also think about it? ”

"This ......"

He Shun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his face was pale.

He belongs to the more 'ambitious', to put it bluntly, he is ambitious, he wants to follow Zhao Yu to do a big career, where is he willing to be dragged down by women? As for physiological needs, wouldn't it be over after a trip?

He said smartly: "The boss is not married yet, how dare I ......"

Before he finished his words, his head was punched by the bull: "Ah Hu asked you, why did you pull me?" ”

I have to say that for this kind of thing that is related to his own vital interests, for some reason Niu Heng is very keen, and people can't cry or laugh whether he is really honest or pretending.

During the fight, a group of people returned to the post house and briefly told Jingnu about the meeting with Liu Wei and the others, because of the relationship with Bi'er by his side, he omitted the part where he took off his mask.

"So, the Jinggong Canal is about to be completed?" Jingnu asked with some excitement.

"Ah, it's only a few dozen miles away." Zhao Yu took a sip of the tea handed over by Bi'er, and was a little excited in his heart.

After all, the Jinggong Canal is a large project funded by the county government when his father Luyang Xianghou was alive, and it has been repaired for nearly nine years as of this year.

Seeing Zhao Yu and Jingnu talking in a relieved tone, Bi'er tilted her head and stood aside, very confused in her heart, not understanding what this Luyang County repaired a canal, and what it had to do with his lord and wife.

"In the afternoon, I will take you to the streets, and in the evening, Liu Gong will hold a banquet to entertain me and others."

"Wouldn't it be too much trouble? …… I thought, the county government shouldn't have much money, right? ”

"That's true, but I can't say no, right?"

"That's ...... too"

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Niu Heng, He Shun, and Bi'er to walk around the streets of the county.

In all fairness, compared with the prosperity of big cities such as Xuchang and Liangcheng, Luyang County is really not worth mentioning, but the memories here are not found elsewhere.

Holding Zhao Yu's arm lightly, Jingnu followed Zhao Yu as she strolled down the street, looked around, and said with nostalgia in her mouth: "Compared with the time when the young master brought me here nine years ago, there is almost no change in the city......

"yes." Zhao Yu also nodded with emotion.

Of course, he knew which time Jing Nu was referring to, because he had brought Jing Nu to the county town once in total, and this was nine years ago.

In a flash, the second son of the Zhao family has become the captain of Yingchuan, and the little girl of the year has also become a wife, beautiful and dignified, which provoked passers-by to pause frequently and look at it with a surprised face.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, turned his head and said to Jingnu, "Why don't you put on the mask too?" ”

As if hearing something from the tone of her young master, Jingnu's eyes smiled into a crescent moon.

Revisiting the old place, both of them are in a good mood.

However, Jingnu's maid Bi'er was not so happy, and after the group returned to the post house before dusk, she complained to Jingnu with an aggrieved face: "Madam, when the lord and Madame went shopping in the afternoon, Bi'er originally wanted to serve beside her, but the hateful He Shun pulled me and forbade me to get close to Madame......"

Hearing this, Jing Nu smiled slightly.

Of course, she understood why He Shun did that, it was just that she wanted the two of them to have a chance to miss the past alone, not only did she not blame He Shun, but secretly praised He Shun for being able to observe words and looks, and he was worthy of being the chief of the guard.

She smiled and said, "Don't be angry, come, I also bought you a bracelet, you can take it and try it." ”

"For the slaves?" Bi'er was flattered, and immediately tried it on happily, where can she still take care of Sheng He Shun's anger.

Looking at the happy appearance of this little girl, Jingnu also seemed to be infected, and remembered the care she received in the Xianghou Mansion back then, and her already good mood became better and better.

On the eve of nightfall, the county lieutenant Ding Wu came to the post house and invited Zhao Yu and Jingnu to the back office of the county government for a banquet.

At the banquet that night, Liu Wei did not invite anyone else, so he only invited Ding Wu and Xu Xuan, as for the dishes, they were more hearty than Zhao Yu predicted, with fish and meat.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu said with some reluctance: "Let Liu Gong break the bank." ”

He knows that there is not much money in Luyang County at present, and in order to entertain him, it is estimated that Liu Wei himself has to put a lot of it, after all, the price of meat in the past two years is not cheap, let alone wine.

However, what made Zhao Yu a little puzzled was that he couldn't see Liu Wei's wife.

Just when he wanted to ask, he suddenly saw a little boy about ten years old carrying a plate of vegetables and delivering the dishes, which made Zhao Yu very surprised.

After all, as far as he knew, Liu Wei's only son had already become an adult.

He asked curiously, "Who is this?" ”

Hearing this, Ding Wu summoned the little boy to him, stroked the latter's head and explained to Zhao Yu with a smile: "This is the second son in the family, called Chong, the second son, this is Zhou Duwei, don't hurry up to see him." ”

Under Zhao Yu's surprised gaze, the little boy clasped his fist towards Zhao Yu and called respectfully: "Kid Ding Chong, I've seen Zhou Duwei." ”

In addition to being surprised, Zhao Yu also felt a little puzzled, why did Ding Wu's second son come to serve the plates?

After asking, I learned that in order to entertain him, Liu Xuan's wife was personally responsible for cooking tonight, and Xu Xuan and Ding Wu also brought their wives and children to help, the purpose was naturally to avoid irrelevant people from contacting Zhao Yu, so as not to inadvertently expose their identities or something.

I have to say that in order to keep the secret of Zhao Yu's true identity, Liu Xuan, Xu Xuan, and Ding Wu are really cautious.

This caution made Zhao Yu quite moved.

From the side, Jingnu got up and said, "I'll also help Mrs. Liu, right?" ”

"No, no." Liu Wei waved his hand again and again, but Zhao Yu still nodded and acquiesced to Jingnu's going.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Yu turned his head to Liu Xuan, Xu Xuan, and Ding Wu: "The dishes are almost the same, and it is a waste if you can't eat more, why don't we squeeze a little and invite a few ladies to come together?" It's also lively when there are many people. ”

"This ......"

Liu Xuan, Xu Xuan, and Ding Wu glanced at each other, looking a little hesitant.

But at Zhao Yu's request, the three of them finally nodded and agreed.

So, several people went to the planing together, and invited their respective wives to the big banquet to have dinner together.

Although the seat was a little crowded, it was very warm, which made Zhao Yu vaguely feel a sense of home, although even in the township mansion back then, they had never eaten so crowded.

That night, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves happily.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yu woke up early in the post house in the city, dressed and washed.

Today, he is ready to leave for Ruyang to meet Wang Dan, the commander of Ruyang County, and Wei Pu of the Ruyang Zheng and Lu Ye Freemasons.

I have to say, these are old faces.

To Zhao Yu's surprise, when he took Niu Heng and He Shun to the lobby of the post house to prepare for dinner, he was surprised to see Ding Wu sitting there, as if waiting for him.

"County Lieutenant Ding?" Zhao Yu stepped forward and said hello: "County Lieutenant Ding is looking for me?" ”

At this time, Ding Wu also noticed Zhao Yu, got up and walked towards Zhao Yu, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Last night, I heard that Du Wei was about to leave for Ruyang today, and Liu Gong sent me to protect Du Wei along the way......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Niu Heng, who looked like an iron tower, and said with a smile: "Although I also think that there is no shortage of people around the captain, as a guide, I think I can still be competent......"

"County Lieutenant Ding is too humble." Zhao Yu said with a smile.

He knew Ding Wu's strength, and it is no exaggeration to say that except for Niu Heng, no one in his entourage was estimated to be the opponent of this Ding County Lieutenant.

However, since Ding Wu intended to go to Ruyang with them, Zhao Yu naturally would not refuse, after all, although he had also been to Ruyang back then, he was in their carriage at that time, and he had never come down except for sleeping in the open on the way, where could he know the way?

What's more, Zhao Yu also wanted to ask Ding Wu about some things about Luyang in recent years, as well as things about Liang County and Ruyang - the Liang County mentioned here refers to the small county north of Luyang, not the Liang County of Liang County.

After breakfast, the group slowly left Luyang in a carriage.

Because he wanted to see the Jinggong Canal, Zhao Yu specially walked north along the Jinggong Canal.

I still remember that a few years ago, when Zhao Yu and the Black Tigers were forced to flee to Luyang County, the Jinggong Canal had not yet been built out of the county, but today, a few years later, according to Ding Wu, not only the river section in Luyang has been completed, but even the territory of Liang County has been completed, which is dozens of miles away from Ruyang.

As long as these last few dozen miles are dug through, you can lead the water into the canal.

At that time, it will not only be conducive to the irrigation of tens of thousands of acres of farmland in the north of Luyang, but also attract merchant ships to communicate with Luyang County.

Luyang, which is located in the middle of nowhere, can finally develop gradually with the help of this water conservancy.

Hearing these words, Zhao Yu was also very relieved in his heart.

Although he is no longer in Luyang County, he still hopes that Luyang can develop and prosper, after all, this is his hometown.

"That's right."

As if thinking of something, Ding Wu said to Zhao Yu in the carriage: "Since the imperial court rehabilitated the Zhao family, Duke Liu ordered the river stele to be replaced, so there is no need to use the trick of 'Wang Jinggong' now......"

"Oh?"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

Then, when passing by a river monument, he ordered a stop, and immediately got out of the carriage himself and came to the river monument to take a closer look.

Sure enough, the words 'Wang Jinggong Canal' on the stele have been replaced with 'Jing Gong Canal'.

Stroking the river monument, Zhao Yu turned his head and asked Ding Wudao, "It took a lot of money, right?" ”

Of course, he knew that the cost of carving a stone tablet this year was not small, not to mention that Luyang County had not only replaced a river tablet.

Sure enough, Ding Wu nodded and said, "It is true that a lot of money has been spent, but Liu Gongyan said that this money must be spent." ”

“……”

Zhao Yu was touched in his heart and nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a commotion in the east.

He turned his head to look to the east, and vaguely saw that in a farmland to the east, there seemed to be a group of people gathered, and at first glance the crowd was angry.

"What's going on over there?" Zhao Yu frowned and asked.

Seeing this, Ding Wu turned his head to take a look, and after sighing helplessly, he said meaninglessly: "I guess it's ...... again."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Yu, changed his tone and said: "It is estimated that Zhao Bing's servants are driving people away, Duwei, you know, that land belongs to the Xianghou Mansion, although the county government has rented it to the people who have entered the household in the past few years, but in the final analysis, it is the land that belongs to the Xianghou Mansion, Zhao Bing asked for it to be returned, and even sent people to drive the people, and the county government had no way to ...... him."

"This is my family's field too?"

Zhao Yu was slightly surprised.

To be honest, he doesn't know how much land and how many family businesses he has in his township.

"Let's go, let's see."

After giving an order to everyone, Zhao Yu took the lead and walked into the distance.

He also wanted to meet the distant cousin who ruined his reputation as a Luyang Zhao family and was powerful in Luyang.
