Chapter 90: The Mysterious Old Man in the Manor
Led by the butler, the two walked all the way to the back.
As for the woman before, she had already run to the back quickly for the first time.
Lin Su walked around and looked at the carved house at the same time.
The pavilions and pavilions are very elegant, especially the stone forests everywhere, although they are not as grand as those of Song Huizong, but they also have unique features.
It can be seen that it has also taken a lot of thought.
The whole house occupies a very large area.
When they had passed through the long corridor and reached a garden full of flowers, the butler stopped at the door.
Walking along the cobblestone path, Lin Su came to a gazebo.
I saw a white-bearded old man, sitting in the pavilion.
As for the female assassin from before, she stood beside him.
"Unexpectedly, Lu Guogong actually came, the humble house is really full of brilliance, but the old man has some problems with his legs and feet, he can't stand, he can't salute Lu Guogong, Ling'er, salute for the old man."
The old man looked Lin Su on the opposite side up and down, smiling.
"Meet...... Lu Guogong ......"
Ling'er immediately knelt on one knee, and on that face, in addition to being cold, there was more surprise.
She also just learned Lin Su's identity.
"No need, worship or not, there is no difference."
Lin Su took a step, walked to the opposite side of the old man, and sat down directly.
With a cold tone, he looked directly at the old man.
"Hand over my friends, and you will be spared death, or ...... I promise that today, there will be a dog in this house...... Don't even want to live! ”
Lin Su, who was worried about planting a thousand tenderness, was too lazy to greet each other.
The life and death of Qianrou will be related to the lives of everyone in the entire house.
"It seems that this kind of girl is very important to Lu Guogong, and she is angry at the crown, if a girl knows, she must be very happy."
The old man was not afraid, and still smiled.
"I don't like to talk crap a second time!"
Lin Su squinted his eyes, and his words were full of murderous intent.
Just then, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.
"Lin Su, why are you here!"
Tan Qianrou's voice came, and at the same time she also ran over quickly.
"Are you alright?"
Lin Su hurriedly stood up and grabbed Chong Qianrou who came to him.
looked at Qianrou carefully until he was sure that she was okay, and Lin Su's hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
"I'm fine, and I want to thank Mr. Lu, if it weren't for his help, there would indeed be some trouble!"
Chong Qianrou was touched by Lin Su's concern, and her little face blushed.
It's just that her words made Lin Su stunned.
"You weren't kidnapped?"
Lin Su always thought that she was kidnapped here.
But now, it seems that my guess is wrong.
"You blame Mr. Lu, besides, he is still my savior."
Chong Qianrou hurriedly shook her head, and her words made Lin Su even more puzzled.
Could it be that she suffers from Stockholm syndrome and has developed a sense of dependence on bad people?
"I'm ashamed to say it, but in fact, I accidentally involved Miss Chong in my personal grudges, and I can't be regarded as a life-saving benefactor."
The paralyzed Lu Junyi hurriedly said humbly.
"Can you elaborate on that?"
Lin Su looked helpless, no matter how high his wisdom was, he couldn't understand these things.
"That's ......"
Chong Qianrou hurriedly told the beginning and the end.
When she came to Jiezhou, Chong Qianrou began to investigate the salt merchant hiding behind it.
It took many days for her to finally have a clue.
Because many salt shops will transport large quantities of silver to the Five Lakes pawnshop on special days.
So she secretly spies on the Five Lakes pawnshop and tries to follow the vine.
But he didn't want to, his surveillance was also discovered by Boss Lu, so he arranged for his subordinates to secretly find out, but he was bumped into by Chong Qianrou and taught a lesson.
That's all she mentioned in her previous letter.
But just three days ago, she was about to lure the snake out of the hole, but she didn't want to be hijacked by two mysterious people.
"I didn't check for a while, the cartilage in my body was scattered, and I was about to be taken away by them, but it was Ling'er who took people and snatched me out of the hands of those people, and I have been living in the Lu Mansion for the past two days, and I also repair books for you, but I don't want you to come."
The inconvenience of communication made Lin Su never receive a kind of letterhead.
"Last night, I heard that a group of strong men came to the room where the girl lived, and sent someone to see it, but I didn't want to come back, so I regarded Lu Guogong as my rival, and I was a little neglectful, and I asked for a lot of Haihan."
Lu Junyi said with a smile.
"In other words, Qianrou kidnapped by Lu Junyi's nemesis? I don't know who Lu Junyi's rival is? ”
After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, a trace of doubt flashed in Lin Su's eyes.
This matter is all said by Lu Junyi alone, and he will not fully believe it.
"Please also ask Lu Guogong to calm his anger, I will deal with this matter, so I won't worry about Guogong, but I don't know, Guogong came to find me Lu, I don't know what happened?"
Lu Junyi did not say the so-called rival, but diverted the topic lightly.
With interest, he looked at Lin Su.
"I'm ashamed to say that I came to Jiezhou this time, because I heard that the salt merchants in Jiezhou are rich enough to rival the country, the front-line food is lacking, and the treasury is empty, so I came to find the salt merchants and borrow money!"
Lin Su didn't ask about this pair.
Instead, he sat opposite Lu Junyi.
Straight into the knife, he doesn't do twisting.
"There are a lot of officials in the imperial court, just this salt division, from small to top, there are not thousands of officials, but hundreds of people, how can they let the dignified prince come to borrow money, not to mention, if you talk about money, the salt merchant is also in accordance with the rules, earning hard-earned money, and the big head is taken away by the imperial court, you can't take away all the profits of the salt merchant when the foreign enemy invades, so what's the difference between it and the golden people?"
Lu Junyi smiled.
As a businessman, his shrewdness is to be able to chat.
did not explicitly refuse, but gave a reason that Lin Su had no way to speak again.
"Officials at all levels, exploitation at all levels, you and I know this kind of thing in our hearts, now the country is in danger, if it is not the enemy, there are eggs under the nest? At this time, the only way to fight the enemy together is to keep the lifeline, and the money will naturally be earned back. ”
Lin Su frowned slightly, the depth of this Lu Junyi's city was really surprising.
"Under the nest, it is to the officials but not to the people, since the Guogong knows that this official is exploiting layer by layer, in business, as a businessman, profit first, I don't know if Guogong has ever thought about it, for us and other businessmen, Song, Liao, Jin, Western Xia, there is no difference? Today, the Great Song Dynasty is in control of the salt mines, and the farmers and industrialists call us untouchables, and none of our children and grandchildren can participate in the imperial examination, but if we change to the Jin Kingdom tomorrow, it may still be a good thing for me. ”
Lu Junyi's words made Lin Su stunned.
"Could it be that as a Song person, Lu Junyi can't bear to see the Song people being bullied by the Jin State?"
Lin Su's face sank and said.
"Isn't it inappropriate for the Holy and the Officials, who can't control the matter, to make me, a Dalit businessman, rush to feel guilty?"
Lu Junyi didn't eat rice, he was smiling, and he was-for-tat.
Encountering a soft nail, Lin Su had to think seriously about how to deal with him.
