Chapter 62: Contradictions
"The lord said so," Lu Xia leaned over with an innocent face and said, "My nephew can only take the blame!" ”
"You don't have to threaten the old man with a picker at every turn. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lu Shang snorted in disgust: "Lu Valve is a big guy, the old man's loess is buried to his neck, if you are willing to spoil it, just spoil it!" ”
After speaking, Lu Shang closed his eyes, no longer paid attention to Lu Xia and Lu Yan, the two looked at each other, and said respectfully: "That nephew has retired first, and I will report to the sect master if I have further news." ”
Lu Shang snorted again, and the two quietly retreated.
Lu Yi waited a little embarrassed, and said that if she knew this, she would come in later. Regarding Lu Jian's matter, he is a bystander, and Lu Yi knows very well that Lu Xia and Lu Yan have been instructed by the Council of Elders to dare to be bold and muddy. In the past two years, as the Lord has grown older, the Council of Elders has become more and more powerful. The landmark event was that a few years ago, the Council of Elders vetoed the request made by the Lord to let Lu Xiu be promoted to Deputy Sect Master.
Everyone knew that Lu Xian, the current deputy sect leader of Lu Valve, was bent on pursuing the innate realm, and he had already announced that he would no longer care about the mundane affairs of the clan. Therefore, once Lu Xiu is promoted to deputy sect master, he is the natural candidate for the next sect master. The attitude of the Presbyterian Church is also very clear, and it does not want to see the replacement of father and son in the position of valve master.
That time, the two sides had a lot of trouble, and in the end, they even alarmed Lu Xian, the only heaven-level great master of the Lu Valve, the deputy sect master. Under his mediation, the two sides gave in to each other, Lu Shang no longer insisted on Lu Xiu as the deputy sect master, and the Council of Elders also agreed to grant Lu Xiu the position of archdeacon.
After that time, the two sides were completely married. And Lu Jian is the preferred successor of the Council of Elders, and if Lu Shang wants to get rid of him, he will naturally be strongly resisted by the Council of Elders.
The deacons were caught in the middle, and it was really painful. What's more, many deacons themselves also have their own small abacus, which is the real reason why the land valve has been scattered in recent years.
。
Lu Yi was thinking nonsense, and Lu Shang spoke.
"What's the matter with you?"
Lu Yi hurriedly calmed down and reported the candidate to Lu Shangyu.
After hearing this, Lu Shang said with a slight sneer: "You don't want to offend people, right?" ”
"......" Lu Yi secretly shouted in her heart that she was unlucky, who let herself not have long eyes, and it was not happy to come to find her at this time. The valve owner wronged his nephew, but the nephew was just worried that if Lu Feng was elected again, it would be difficult to explain to the whole valve. ”
"Then don't let you choose, let them try for themselves!" Lu Shang said slowly: "It's a mule or a horse, all of them are pulled out to slip around, just selling melons in that princess, what's the matter?" ”
"That's what my nephew wants, too." Lu Yi smiled when he heard this: "Since the valve owner also means this, then let them speak according to their ability!" ”
"Hmm." Lu Shang nodded, looked at Lu Yi deeply and said: "The old man still said that, Lu Valve is everyone's, you deacons, if you don't cherish this valve, what hope does this valve have!" ”
"The lord is serious." Lu Yi hurriedly explained: "The land valve is up and down, and it is all based on this valve. The same is true for Lu Yan and Lu Xia, but in their positions, there are too many unavoidable circumstances. ”
"What has to be? It's just a nostalgia! Lu Shang sneered: "The old man has been the owner of the valve for thirty years, what else can't you understand?!" Saying that, he stared at Lu Yi and forced him to show his position.
"Over there in the Council of Elders, it's true that the hand is stretched too long." Lu Yi sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't tell whether Lu Shang wanted to get rid of Lu Jian, whether it was out of public or selfish intentions. But he knew very well that the old man on the other side was the master of the one valve that had mastered the land valve for decades, and even if he couldn't help the elder council with a large number of people, it would be easy to make his little deacon worse than dead. I had no choice but to say, "No matter what, we, the deacons, should listen to the lord." ”
"It's good to know!" Lu Shang's face was a little pale. According to the rules, the deacon is responsible to the valve owner, and the valve owner is responsible to the presbyterian council, but in the past two years, the presbyterian council has crossed over to him as the valve master and began to frequently co-opt and interfere with several deacons, which Lu Shang absolutely cannot tolerate.
"This matter won't end here," Lu Shang said coldly to Lu Yi: "Lu Jian, I must be replaced, but I want to see how long the people of the Council of Elders can protect him!" ”
"My nephew firmly supports the lord's decision!" Lu Yi was busy cutting the railway. But this is not the slightest nourishment, because the removal of the deacon is a matter between the lord and the presbyterian church, and he, as a religious deacon, has no effect at all.
。
Qingfeng Garden is one of the many annexes outside Luojing City. Although the scale is not large, it is a good place to cool off the heat and enjoy the cool water.
At this moment, on the lotus pond, in the water pavilion, there are bursts of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and Lu Jian, who is dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, is entertaining several white-haired old men.
Lu Jian picked up the wine glass and said to several old men with a respectful face: "The incident caused by the dog has made several elders tired, and the little nephew is so ashamed that he can only punish himself with three glasses first." ”
After speaking, Lu Jian drank a full glass, and the singer, who was kneeling beside him, hurriedly poured him a full glass of wine. Lu Jian drank three cups in a row, and his face was slightly red.
Several old men were naturally members of the Lu Valve Elders' Council, and when they saw this, they nodded their heads, and a black-faced old man led by them smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew is serious, everyone can see that this time it is the sect master who uses the topic to play and wants to dump the face of our Elders, how can we let him succeed." ”
"Don't worry, with a few of our brothers here, no one can touch you!" The long-faced old man next to the black-faced old man also patted Lu Jian's shoulder and smiled: "Although he, Lu Shang, is the sect master, the elder council is used to check and balance the sect master!" ”
"The second brother and the fourth brother are right," another old man with a sparse beard also twisted his beard and smiled: "He Lu Shang is also old and confused, in order to get rid of your threat, he even did not hesitate to expose his own ugliness and lose Lu Valve's face, I think he is really unsuitable to be the owner of this valve again." ”
"My nephew has figured this out." Lu Jian said softly: "It was that Lu Xin who stirred up trouble inside, which led the sect master to the porridge factory." ”
"Sixth, your nephew has been in the limelight lately." The black-faced old man glanced at the short old man sitting on his right, and said with a smile: "But your brother held a celebration banquet that day, why didn't he invite you?" ”
The short old man is Lu Xiang's own brother, Lu Tong, the elder of the Lu valve. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Lu Xiang has always thought that my father's title should have been passed on to him, where can he still recognize me as a brother." ”
"It doesn't matter if he recognizes you or not, the key is whether you still recognize him?" The black-faced old man asked.
"He doesn't recognize me anymore, why do I still stick a hot face to someone's cold ass?" Lu Tong sneered and said: "Second brother, you don't have to test me with words, if you want to deal with Lu Xin, I will be the first to approve!" ”
"Good!" The black-faced old man stroked his palm and smiled: "Then it's no problem." As he spoke, he said slowly: "A few days ago, Lu Shang said that he would hold a celebration banquet for Lu Xin in the name of the clan, it seems that he wanted to build momentum for him, so that he could take over Lu Jian's position as deacon. ”
The long-faced old man frowned when he heard this, "We can't stop this." ”
"Yes, we have no right to interfere in such a trivial matter." The black-faced old man nodded and smiled: "But we can always be our own master, when the time comes, the elders will not go to any of them, but we want to see where his Lu Shang's face goes?" ”
"Not going?" The long-faced old man frowned and said, "Not to mention that in the Council of Elders, there are many people who wear the same pants as Lu Shang, will this make other gate valves see jokes?" ”
"If you want to see it, it's also a joke about him Lu Shang!" The black-faced old man sneered: "It's so unbearable to have such a quarrel with the Elders, I see how he can still convince the public!" After a pause, he added, "As for making the Council of Elders absent en masse, it's also very simple. When he set a date for the treat, we will gather all the elders to go to Bishan to discuss matters one day earlier, and then think of a way to stumble everyone, and everything will be fine! ”
"In this way, you will have to completely tear your face with the valve owner!" Several deacons had a sad face, although they strongly opposed Lu Shang to let Lu Xiu take over, but they did not have the ambition to openly break with the lord.
"When has this been, you still have illusions?!" The black-faced old man snorted coldly and said, "This time he made a move on Lu Jian, he was standing up to the Council of Elders!" If he succeeds, who would dare to walk with the Council of Elders? Lu Valve is about to become his own world again! ”
"The second brother is reasonable," the old man with a sparse beard nodded slowly: "We have already formed a big bond with Lu Shang's father and son, if he succeeds, all of us elders will have to go home and hug our grandson!" ”
"Then ......" The other elders also gradually made up their minds, looked at the black-faced old man and said, "Just do it?" ”
"!" The black-faced old man nodded heavily.
