Chapter 910: Millennium Manor
Although you can't play it up close, watching it from a distance is enough for ordinary people not to talk about it, and it can also be an experience to show off to others.
In fact, this manor with a history of thousands of years has the profound imprint of the Lu family, brick by brick, grass and tree, step by step, pavilion, not so gorgeous and dazzling, but with a unique sense of luxury and history, which is not found in some explosive households or new types of aristocracy.
Moreover, in the eyes of those who really know the industry, it can also be seen that every detail in this pet manor cannot be faulty. In the eyes of the generals who are proficient in defensive battle formations, it can be seen that this manor is not only surrounded by high walls, but also seems to have no defense ability in the courtyard, but as long as it is simply transformed, in a very short time, it can become a small town bunker that can be defended for half a year, as for how much food, weapons, armor, bows and crossbows are hidden in it...... Perhaps only the Lu clan himself knows, to be precise, only the Lu clan generation patriarch knows.
Obviously, as early as a thousand years ago, when the Lu manor was built, the Lu clan people took into account the defense and security issues, so they deliberately chose to build by the mountain, and the courtyard wall built along the mountain is also as high as two zhang, visitors stand on the official road, in fact, they can only see the cornices inside, and stand closer, they can hear the sound of the murmuring water inside, as for wanting to climb to the mountain behind to overlook the entire Lu manor, it is impossible.
Because this mountain is the private property of the Lu family, the main road to the mountain is guarded by soldiers raised by the Lu family, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter it at all. It is obvious that such a tight guard is not only to prevent outsiders from prying eyes on the Lu manor, if there is no hidden secret in the mountain behind this, people with a little insight will definitely not believe it.
……
……
Today's weather is not too good, the cold wind in early winter, Lu Jianheng and Sun Yang's carriage is surrounded by dozens of guards, walking alone on the wide road to Lu's manor, and there are no tourists and scholars who go to Lu's academy that can be seen at ordinary times.
When the carriage reached the side door, it came to a strange stop. Lu Jianheng opened the corner of the curtain, and saw a person walking out of the side door of the house with a somewhat excited expression, and it was Lu Youwei, the second son of Lu Wei, who sent him out.
The guest who was sent was a man who was slightly fat, forty or fifty years old, but he could still see that he was a military general, and after saluting Lu Youwei at this time, he walked into his carriage with the help of a guard.
Lu Jianheng put down the curtain, looked back at Sun Yang, and said with a puzzled expression: "Fan Yang. Dou Shihai, the lieutenant general of the water division, why did he come. ”
Sun Yang was also puzzled, although he knew that the Lu family and Fan Yang. The sailor had secret contacts, but Dou Shihai himself rarely came to the Lu clan in person.
Although Dou Shihai is the same as him, the official character of Fan Yang County, he is from the fourth grade, but Fan Yang. The sailors were not under the control of the county government, but directly under His Majesty and the imperial court, and had 1,000 warships and 20,000 troops. It is one of the two major water divisions of the Great Sui, and the other water division is the Jiangdu Water Division in the south of the Yangtze River, with an army of 30,000. It sounds like a lot of troops, but the Great Sui Empire, the Beijing army, the state army, the county soldiers and the county soldiers, as well as the border army, add up to two or three million, of which there are only 50,000 sailors, and from this ratio, it can be seen that the two generations of Sui emperors and the imperial court do not value the sailors.
But even if you don't pay attention to it, Dou Shihai has an army of 20,000 under his command, and he is a lightweight figure in Fanyang County, which is far from being comparable to Sun Yang, the general guard of Fanyang County, which can be seen from Lu Youwei, the second son of Lu Wei, who personally sent him away.
……
……
"Grandfather, I've already confessed." Lu Jianheng got out of the carriage, entered the Lu family's manor, and came all the way to the outside of the study where Lu Wen, the sect leader of the Lu family, could not see it or not, he bowed meticulously to the study, and then said loudly.
There was a tired and comforting voice from the contemporary owner of the Lu family, Lu Weiluo: "All along, the clansmen and I have been more restrained, but the people below are arrogant and accustomed to it, we must tell them not to be caught by the new Taishou, that is...... Jianheng, you have always been calm, and now you have to be more careful, if there is anything unclean, deal with it as soon as possible, and don't leave any tail. ”
"Grandfather, grandson has never done anything to hurt heaven and reason, violate the laws of the Great Sui, and I am not afraid of his king's arrival." Lu Jianheng said seriously.
There was silence in the study for a while, and then a voice came out: "Three years ago, in order to get the mother and daughter raised in the county town, you instructed a group of horse thieves to kill and rob a caravan
If you can know, Wang Junlin may know that if he sends someone to take you according to the law of the Great Sui, although I can protect you, it will be a troublesome thing after all. ”
Lu Jianheng's forehead was covered with sweat in a short period of time, thinking that this matter had not passed through anyone in the clan, it was the work of a horse thief he had privately raised, how could his grandfather know, but he didn't dare to defend half a sentence, lowered his head and said: "Grandson is wrong, grandson will go back to the county town and deal with this matter overnight." ”
"Go ahead!" Lu Wei's voice was calm, obviously he didn't take the poor mother and daughter alive or dead, all he cared about was that this matter didn't become an excuse for Wang Junlin to clean up Lu Jianheng.
"Yes, grandfather, grandson retires." Lu Jianheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and left quickly, and while instructing the entourage guarding the door to prepare the carriage and escort to go to the county town immediately, he thought to himself: Grandfather knows how to teach me a lesson, and the woman who accompanied him in the study at this time was not from him who killed the other party's whole family back then.
Although he secretly slandered in his heart, he still secretly felt sorry for the mother and daughter duo in the county town, but it was a pity, he would not be the slightest softer when it was time to start, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Jianheng's eyes.
……
……
In the study, Lu Wei, who was in his sixties, had a trace of tiredness on his face, his eyes slightly closed, and a beautiful young woman of twenty-five or sixteen years old was gently kneading his shoulders.
"Let Dou Shihai take the sailor to destroy the pirates on Snake Island, I don't know if this move is right or not, don't I be too cautious and cut off my arm, after all, the five thousand pirates on Snake Island have spent a lot of money over the years to get it in their hands." Lu Wei said suddenly.
The beautiful young woman smiled slightly, like a lotus flower that bloomed in an instant, it was extremely charming, and said softly: "Master, the slave family thinks that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter, with the mind of the king of the king's landing, he will definitely suspect that the pirates on Snake Island are related to our Lu clan, judging from the evil things done by the four officials of Changxiang County as soon as he came, the power of the Blue Guard Mansion to spy on intelligence is likely to still be used by him, if he sends someone to sneak into Snake Island, find some evidence against the Lu clan, and use this as an opportunity to deal with the Lu clan, then the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
