Volume 2 The Family Chapter 49 The Threatened Escape
Lu Hanlin exerted force in his palm, and a creaking and screeching sound sounded, and a layer of obvious dust rose from the door, and then Huo Ran opened the hole.
Behind the door was a large clearing, where weeds half a man tall had grown. Because it has just been soaked in rain, it gives off a bitter taste of green grass.
Lu Hanlin walked inside, through one broken door after another, and finally stopped at the top of a hollow hidden by weeds.
"This is it, it hasn't changed at all." Lu Hanwen looked at the hollow and said.
Lu Hanlin took out the handwritten letter handed to him by Shen Wansan from his arms and handed it into Lu Hanqing's hands.
"Third brother, this letter is very important to us, I can't rest assured of the people next to me, and only between our three brothers can we have absolute trust when I think about it." Lu Hanlin said solemnly to Lu Hanqing: "You have martial arts, and I am more at ease when you go out alone, so this arduous task will be handed over to you." ”
Lu Hanqing took the letter and nodded heavily.
"Definitely, the letter must be sent safely to the Wuxing Shen clan." Lu Hanlin looked at Lu Hanqing deeply.
Lu Hanqing didn't say much, and resolutely jumped into the secret passage. The three of them were second only to their own bedrooms in the familiarity of this secret passage. The two looked at Lu Hanqing's figure that disappeared in an instant for a long time.
"Let's go." "There's still a lot of work to do," Lu said. ”
Lu Hanwen nodded, and the two left the abandoned old mansion side by side.
The lonely wind blew, and they didn't care about the former glory of this old mansion, but only blew the door that was not closed tightly, rattling, and looking very desolate.
......
In the east chamber of the Lu Mansion, these court officials had to routinely ask for peace from Totoku every day. With the exception of Timur, the others had to run to the door of Tokhtar's house at least twice a day.
"Prime Minister, someone is coming outside." The next man knocked on the door.
For those officials who come every day to pay their respects, Tokhtar is extremely tiresome.
"Didn't I say that? Just say that the prime minister is in poor health, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so let them go back. Tokhtar put down the scroll in his hand, frowned and shouted.
The subordinates outside were silent for a long time, and then spoke: "Prime Minister, it's not those officials who came to ask for peace, it's Shen Wansan Shen family head of the Wuxing Shen family, and he wants to come to visit the Prime Minister." ”
"Oh? Shen Wansan? Tokhtar said, "What is he coming to me for now?" ”
Tokhoff had long known about Shen Wansan's hanging in Qingtian Courtyard, and at this time he should lie down quietly to recuperate from his injuries, and he came to him, but he really didn't know what was going on.
"Invite him in." After all, Shen Wansan's identity is special, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he asked his subordinates to invite him in.
......
"Lord Toto, I heard that you have been unwell recently, so Shen came to visit." Shen Wansan took off and hugged his fist.
Totoh smiled lightly: "I said that I am ill is just an excuse, those attentive officials are too annoying, and the appearance is also a last resort, presumably the head of the Shen family should be clear." ”
Shen Wansan laughed, and sat down under the signal of detachment.
Totoku said: "I heard that the movement of Qingtian Courtyard last night was not small, and the head of the Shen family seems to have a color on his body?" ”
"I am worried about Lord Laotuo, Shen's body and bones are still strong, and he should not be able to die for the time being."
Tokhtar said, "How can you make such a big move? Is something happening? ”
Although Totoku knew that Shen Wansan had hung up the lottery in Qingtian Courtyard last night, he didn't know what the battle was about. Whether it is Shen Wansan or Lu Qingtian, they should not be such impulsive people, if it weren't for something terrible, it would be impossible to tear their faces directly. As for this reason, Totok is very interested.
Shen Wansan's expression suddenly became serious: "Prime Minister, Shen is here to talk to you about this matter. Don't you want to know why I got into an argument with Lu Qingtian in Qingtian Courtyard? ”
Totoku nodded, waiting for Shen Wansan to continue.
"Lu Qingtian's prodigal ambition," Shen Wansan went straight to the point and got straight to the point: "I actually want to reiterate the proposal of the Family Alliance on Old Lady Lu's birthday, and I plan to force the major families to submit to him." Shen naturally would not agree to let the century-old inheritance of the Wuxing Shen family be broken in my hands, so there was a dispute. ”
After hearing this, his pupils shrank, and he was shocked: "Does Lu Qingtian dare to be so bold?" Has he forgotten the lesson of his grandfather? ”
Shen Wansan shook his head and sighed: "The Fanyang Lu clan has developed rapidly in recent years, I'm afraid it makes his confidence a little inflated." ”
"This matter is indeed important, but the head of the Shen family said to come to me to talk about this matter? But this is a matter between your families, what does it have to do with the true appearance? Tokh asked.
Shen Wansan smiled lightly, "Of course, it doesn't have much to do with the prime minister, but Shen wants to make Lu Qingtian's plan not succeed, so he specially came here to seek the help of Lord Totok." ”
After hearing this, Totoh couldn't cry or laugh, and asked, "Looking for my help?" Why should I help you? ”
The union between the families is naturally not something that the imperial court wants to see, but the competition between the families is indeed the one thing that the imperial court wants to see the most. Tokh understood how difficult it was to form a family alliance, and he didn't believe that Lu Qingtian would succeed at all, so there was no need to mix it in. Wouldn't it be better to sit on the side and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!
But Shen Wansan's next sentence made Toto's eyes squint and his face was gloomy.
Shen Wansan said with a smile: "Lord Totoku doesn't want to go to this troubled water, Shen understands, but Shen heard that the Yellow River flooded some time ago, and the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court, Lord Totoku is probably greedy for a lot of ink." ”
Toto's face was gloomy, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, "Master Shen, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense. What about the evidence? If the head of the Shen family has no evidence to slander his true appearance like this, I am afraid that he will cause a big trouble for the Wu Xing Shen family. ”
Shen Wansan didn't care about the threat of escape, and spread his hands and said: "Shen is also the head of the family, how can he casually provoke such a powerful enemy as the prime minister for the family!" Evidence, Shen naturally has it. And I'm sure it's the only piece of evidence. If you destroy it, no one will know what Tokhtar has done. ”
"Including Your Majesty!" Shen Wansan paused for a moment and then said these four words, obviously threatening to get rid of him, if he didn't cooperate with him, he would hand over the evidence in his hand to the emperor.
Totoku glared at Shen Wansan viciously. He thought that this matter was very secretive, but at the same time, he was also aware of Wu Xing Shen's super intelligence ability. If there is anyone in this world who is most likely to get the evidence of his matter, I am afraid it is Shen Wansan.
Tokhtar thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Yes, I can help you, but you have to give me the evidence first."
