The atmosphere of silence persisted in the main hall for a long time.

Lu Ruoxuan was also hesitating and struggling for a long time in her heart.

Cui Wenqing's words can be described as the righteousness of the dawn and the sincerity of the movement, standing in the position of the Lu family, it seems that there is indeed no reason to refuse.

However, in Lu Ruoxuan's heart, there is also a hidden pain that is not told by outsiders.

Therefore, she really couldn't agree to Cui Wenqing's request.

Thinking of this, a faint wry smile appeared on the corner of Lu Ruoxuan's mouth, and after a soft sigh, the smile quickly disappeared.

She looked at Cui Wenqing and said with a straight face: "Master Cui, you are the best lobbyist, and what you say is very good, I was almost moved by what you said, and then ...... Lu's departure is unstoppable, so please forgive me. After speaking, he bowed deeply to Cui Wenqing again.

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing laughed angrily and said: "It seems that the Lu family has really made up their minds, and there is no room for negotiation." ”

Lu Ruoxuan nodded and said, "Yes, please also ask the adults to do it, if we can, we will pack up and leave in the second half of the year." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded slightly with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, then the official wishes the Lu family and his party a thousand people, and have a smooth journey." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ruoxuan couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect Cui Wenqing to suddenly become so talkative.

And Su Shi next to him was also slightly surprised, but he knew that Cui Wenqing was not the kind of person who gave up easily, Cui Wenqing must have a plan when he said this.

Sure enough, Cui Wenqing smiled as if he suddenly thought of something, and said: "But yesterday, Ye Changchun, the county commander of Baode County, has been removed from his official position, and the Lu family wants the yamen to open a travel guide, but I am afraid that there will be some trouble." ”

The road guide in Cui Wenqing's mouth is a provision in Qi Law: all personnel who are hundreds of miles away from their place of residence must be issued by the local yamen to an official document such as a letter of introduction and a pass.

At the important Guanjin ferry crossing and at every city entering the Central Plains, the guards would observe the way of the people, and if there was no way to guide them or those who did not conform to them, they were to be punished according to the law.

In layman's terms, Lu Yin is actually proof of leaving home.

At present, the Lu family has settled in Xuzhou, and in the household registration of the imperial court, they also belong to the people of Xuzhou, if there is no way to lead them to leave Xuzhou and go to Jiangnan, I am afraid that they have not yet left the territory of Xuzhou, and they have all been arrested and questioned.

Therefore, the things that lead to the road are really indispensable to the Lu family, so when he heard Cui Wenqing say bluntly, Lu Ruoxuan changed slightly.

She thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Master Cui, when you removed Ye Changchun from his official position yesterday, you said that you would temporarily act as the agent of Baode County's affairs, can't we find you to open the way?" ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile on his face: "Oh, this official has been too busy recently, and he often has to travel everywhere to understand the situation, and he has to deal with the accumulated official business, how can he have the spare energy to guide you to the beginning?" ”

Lu Xidong, who had been silent next to him, said with a smile: "Master Cui, we will delay you for half an hour at most, I believe it is not too troublesome." ”

"Trouble! How not to bother! Cui Wenqing's face sank, "There are thousands of people in your Lu clan, and the government must first correctly verify everyone's identity, so as not to lurk in it with any river and ocean thieves and enemy spies and bring unnecessary trouble." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Su Shi Yizheng's words: "Deputy Su appeasement, this matter that this official said is very important, but you can't be careless, how about leaving this matter to you?" ”

Su Shi bowed his head and said, "My lord, the lower officials must obey your orders and complete this task as soon as possible!" ”

"What as soon as possible!" Cui Wenqing pretended to be displeased and glared at Su Shi, "As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, in order to find out the identity of everyone in the Lu family, you must be careful and serious, I'm afraid it's a bit hasty to give you three months, so let's give you half a year, and within half a year, the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Lu family, whether they have bad habits, whether they are entangled in lawsuits, etc., will investigate clearly, so as to verify the relevant situation." ”

These words landed loudly, and Lu Ruoxuan and Lu Xidong were stunned.

And until this moment, Su Shi also completely understood what Cui Wenqing meant, and secretly laughed: In this way, this Brother Wenqing is clearly going to start cheating!

Lu Ruoxuan didn't expect Cui Wenqing to adopt such a method at all, and he felt a big headache for a while, and said: "Lord Cui, our Jiangdong Lu clan is a polite family, and the family rules are very strict, and there is absolutely no situation in the clan as you said, how can we wait for six months because of the identity of each person." ”

Cui Wenqing said righteously: "Patriarch Lu, it's wrong for you to say this, this is just a routine matter of the government, besides, the Lu clan has been living in Xuzhou for more than half a year, and I know that I will not be bought by the fine spies of the Western Xia of the Liao Kingdom, and the official is also worried that there will be spies mixed into the Lu clan, so it is also for your good!" After that, he smiled, and unconsciously showed a little smugness.

In the face of such a scoundrel method, Lu Ruoxuan felt helpless, even if she was the head of the clan, she couldn't fight with Cui Wenqing, who was the minister of the Qincha, so she had to speak: "Such a request is really difficult for a strong man, Lord Cui, if you don't approve the road, the little woman will only go to the state capital and ask Liu Tingshi for approval." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded happily and said: "Girl, this method is not bad, I believe that Liu Tingshi will definitely agree, you go and go back quickly." After saying that, he waved his hand again and again, as if he wished that she would go immediately.

Seeing this, Lu Xidong hurriedly pulled Lu Ruoxuan aside and whispered: "Ruoxuan, these officials are complicit and embarrassed, and Cui Wenqing is also the minister of the Qin Mission, I am afraid that Liu Tingshi will also face him, this will not work!" ”

Lu Ruoxuan bowed slightly, couldn't help sighing, and her pretty face showed a look of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help laughing, and finally tightened his face and said, "Patriarch Lu doesn't know if you have a good idea?" Please also make a quick decision. ”

Lu Ruoxuan stepped forward, saluted Cui Wenqing, and said: "Lord Cui, since this is the case, the little woman has to think of another way, if there is anything that offends you in the future, please don't be surprised." ”

"Rub, this stinky little lady actually threatened me!"

Cui Wenqing was secretly annoyed, but his face said lightly: "Miss Lu's words, this official will take it to heart, well, this official will wait to teach the girl your tricks." Please! With that, he stood up, clearly preparing to leave.

"Please!" Lu Ruoxuan's etiquette was still the same, there was no rudeness, and she watched Cui Wenqing and his party leave the court.
