"What do you mean by that?" Lu Zhan looked at the excited Zhang Yu and felt puzzled.

Zhang Yu hurriedly explained: "This family was originally a nobleman of the Cao State, but it was destroyed by the Song State more than ten years ago, and the Duan family was basically slaughtered, and only the eldest son Duan Xiaohan and the youngest daughter Duan Jinyan escaped from the Duan family at that time. Duan Xiaohan also has a great opportunity, after escaping from home, he was accepted by the martial arts master Yuan Dingyuan, but he is already a martial arts leader in his early twenties and has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes. ”

The trembling Duan Jinyan cried and said, "My brother, is she really so powerful? It's the first time I've heard from him in years. ”

Zhang Yu leaned down and comforted: "Don't cry, it's normal that you don't know what happened in the martial arts, now come with us to Yanzhou, and we will help you find your brother."

After Zhang Yu comforted Duan Jinyan, Lu Zhan quietly asked Zhang Yu why he said that he had found the treasure. It turned out that Zhang Yu was planning to use Duan Jinyan to win over Duan Xiaohan. Although the Duan family was wiped out, Dingtao's connections are still there, plus Duan Xiaohan's strength and prestige in the rivers and lakes will be a big help.

In the carriage, Zhang Yu also said that this family also raised a lot of people who knew martial arts, this Chen Zhuang was also born as a martial arts ranger in his early years, and the family generally has masters by his side to protect and carry out assassinations.

After two days of turbulence, Lu Zhan's convoy finally arrived in Yanzhou, and before arriving at the city gate, Lu Zhan once again rode his horse and walked side by side with Zhang Yu to the city gate.

I have to say that these Yanzhou officials and families have done a good job in order to welcome Lu Zhan, and there is no shortage of gongs and drums and the honor guards that should be there.

"His subordinates are Wang Tao, the chief secretary of Yanzhou, and these are Liu Sanshi, who is sentenced to Cao and Song Cheng. These are the local patriarchs of Yanzhou, Huang Shan, Wang Hai and Nie Wei. Wang Tao is the elder brother of the minister. Wang Tao introduced himself.

"Lu has seen you here, and I hope you will support you in the future. The person next to me is Zhang Wangdian, the son of the Zhang family among the seven surnames, who came to Yanzhou with me to play. Lu Zhan introduced to everyone, and after being polite, he talked about picking up the wind and washing the dust. In fact, Lu Zhan is the most annoying to this kind of formalism, but the face given and the process that should be followed are necessary.

After greeting everyone who greeted him, he went to the place of the banquet under the guidance of everyone, and the troops brought by Wen Yan also went to the barracks under the command, Jing Nianshuang instructed his subordinates to go to the palace transformed from the Taishou Mansion to settle everything and then go to the banquet with Lu Zhan.

Jing Nianshuang, who was sitting in the carriage, looked through the window at the streets of Yanzhou, which was rich but not as good as the capital, and although it was also busy, it was far inferior to the flow of people in the capital.

Lu Zhan, who was riding on a horse, listened to Wang Tao, the chief bookkeeper, explain the situation in Yanzhou and cooperated with his previous investigation, Lu Zhan found that the Yanzhou Wang family was the most powerful, followed by the Huang family and the Nie family, and the Wang family was said to be rich enough to rival the country in business for generations. It seems that if you want to take root in Yanzhou, you must rely on the strength of these families for the time being.

After a while, Lu Zhan, who was surrounded by everyone, came to Tianxiang Building.

"Lord Lu, please come with me, this is the most famous place in our Yanzhou, and all the big merchants who pass by are full of praise for this." Wang Tao enthusiastically introduced.

Lu Zhan, who was already hungry, sat on the main seat and looked at the delicacies of Manzhuo, and couldn't help but sigh that it was good to be rich, the birds in the sky, the beasts on the ground, and even the seafood from the distant seaside. Seeing this pomp, even Jing Nianshuang couldn't help but sigh at the great strength of these local forces in Yanzhou for Lu Zhan, after all, these are not something that can be eaten casually in the palace.

After a simple greeting and politeness, Lu Zhan, who was enjoying a meal, suddenly saw several family patriarchs exchanging glances with each other. The hand that had been eating also stopped, and looked around with vigilance in his eyes. Jing Nianshuang, who was beside him, saw Lu Zhan stop his chopsticks and couldn't help asking, "Lu Lang, what happened?"

Lu Zhan stretched out his hand and clasped Jing Nianshuang's jade hand without speaking, and Zhang Yu, who was going to the banquet on the side, also noticed that something was wrong, so he glanced at Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan remembered a sentence that it is indispensable to guard against others, what do these families want to do, it will not be to ambush a bunch of swords and axes to kill themselves. Lu Zhan quickly rejected the idea, he currently has no conflict with these people, they have no motive.

After Wang Hai clapped his hands, a bunch of beauties came out from behind the screen, led by a few people who were still holding picture scrolls in their hands. Lu Zhan let go of the hand holding Jing Nianshuang, looking at these sudden beauties at a loss.

"I heard that Lord Lu spent a lot of money on the way to Yanzhou to buy a lot of concubines. Here are all the beauties of Yanzhou, if the lord can take it home, these pictures are all the young ladies of our family, if you like one of them, you can set a date today. Wang Hai got up and said to Lu Zhan.

It seems that his previous method of smearing his greed for beauty has taken effect, and these individuals really think that they are beautiful as their lives. But at the moment, how to reject these people tactfully, and the way they spoke could not let these families be dismissed.

Really when Lu Zhan was organizing the vocabulary, Jing Nianshuang spoke: "Everyone's kindness is appreciated by the palace, the husband bought a large number of them before, and now he has sent so much, I'm afraid it won't work to let the palace be sisters with so many people at once."

Seeing that the fifth princess spoke with a slight anger, these family patriarchs didn't have anything to say, so they waved their hands and let these people go down.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the patriarch Huang Hai said to Lu Zhan: "We know that Lord Lu must be missing something when he first arrives in the fiefdom, and the three of us are willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver, 800 horses and 3,000 armor to raise new soldiers for Lord Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Zhan couldn't help but gasp, these are all huge sums of money, and these families are really rich. Giving such a big gift seems to be full of goodwill.

Wang Tao, the chief bookkeeper, also joked at this time: "If the lord had chosen our Wang family's young lady just now, the dowry would be even more than this."

The Wang family has been in business for generations, and the family is really rich, and if you want to do business in the future, I am afraid that you will inevitably find the Wang family.

By the time Lu Zhan came to his residence from Tianxiang Tower, the renovated Taishou Mansion had begun to take shape, as if it were a small palace. When he arrived at the door, Lu Zhan stopped, feeling secretly refreshed. I finally have a world of my own, and I am the emperor of the soil in Yanzhou.

After straightening his clothes, he took Jing Nianshuang's hand and walked in, and Xiao Yezi, who had been waiting for a long time, led a group of subordinates to line up to welcome, this posture reminded Lu Zhan of his own appearance when the leaders inspected the school.

"The young master's mansion has been settled, and when he came, someone had already cleaned it, and the furniture that should have been there was complete." Xiao Yezi reported to Lu Zhan.

"Sister, in the future, you can't call Young Master Lu Lang, you have to call Lord or Master." Jing Nianshuang opened his mouth to tell Xiao Yezi and also told his subordinates.

"Wait a minute, after my husband is still so young, everyone will still call me young master."

"By the way, young master, there is a young man holding the token of Master Lu Ji waiting for you in the living room, his name is Mo Zhu."

This ink bamboo is quite fast, and the second uncle should have some intention in sending this person to help. After Lu Zhan saw Mo Zhu, he learned bad news from his mouth.
