Chapter 186: Old thief
Yesterday, Lu Ying and Lu Xiang recalled Lu Ying's grandmother. Lu Yun, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, suddenly thought that his imperial grandmother was still alive, and the old lady was very strict back then, and she couldn't get used to her father and queen mother's pampering of her. Since the age of four or five, he has personally taught himself to read, and if he is naughty and refuses to work hard, the old queen mother will unceremoniously beat his palm.
Therefore, Lu Yun has always disliked this imperial grandmother, and he rarely thought of her in the past ten years, but as soon as he was touched by others, his thoughts about the old queen mother burst out irrepressibly. He now knows that the Queen Mother is strict with herself, not that she doesn't love herself. On the contrary, she loved him too much to have such high expectations for him......
Listening to the news brought by Lu Xin today, Lu Yun was even more irrepressible with an impulse, he wanted to go to Ziwei Palace to see his imperial grandmother, even if it was just a sneak peek......
But it was no longer his home, the owner of Ziwei Palace had been replaced by his second uncle, and the tall palace wall was like a moat, lying in front of Lu Yun, not something he could enter if he wanted to......
was gloomy, Lu Yun's hand was gently held, and Lu Ying appeared beside him at some point, her gentle eyes were full of concern.
"Sister." Lu Yun hurriedly held back his tears and wanted to smile at Lu Ying, but he couldn't laugh.
"Don't force yourself, cry if you want to, Sister will always be with you." Lu Ying said softly, the warm voice moistening his heart.

In the House of Elders, several confidant elders were reporting the progress to Lu Wen.
"According to the orders of the Great Elder, the people below have already split up last night, shouting injustice to Lu Jian from house to house." An elder reported with a smile: "On the way to the Elders' House today, I saw many people talking on the street, saying that Lu Jian's death was too unclear, and there must be an ulterior secret behind this." ”
"Yes, Great Elder," another elder also invited merit: "The clansmen now say that if it weren't for the fact that the lord was anxious to help Lu Xin ascend to the throne and forced Lu Jian too quickly, with his status, how could he personally kill someone?" ”
"Yes, yes." The Great Elder listened carefully, glanced at a few of his subordinates and said, "If you want to point the finger at Lu Shang, don't just focus on Lu Xin, that's to abandon the basics." ”
"Great Elder, rest assured," several of his subordinates said with a smile: "We let the people below spread the word that the lord is bent on helping his son to ascend to the throne, so we regard Lu Jian, whom our elders value, as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, which is the real reason for Lu Jian's bad luck." ”
"Not bad." The Great Elder took a sip of tea, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "This is the truth, we just let the clansmen know." As he spoke, he opened his eyes, and said with a flash of cold light: "You still have to work harder." The fifteenth day of this month is the first seven days of Lu Jian, and our elders will set up a stage to sing and play, and they can't do without the applause of those clansmen. ”
"Great Elder, don't worry, we will definitely raise the fire of the clansmen, maybe we don't have to wait until the end of the year, we can remove Lu Shangqiao from power on the fifteenth day!" Several elders rubbed their hands. Lu Jian's death sounded the alarm for them, realizing that this struggle had reached the point of seeing blood, and if they were soft-hearted, they might be the next to die.
"The sound of stepping down is to be shouted, but don't be too optimistic, you don't know how thick Lu Shang's foundation is, it can't be achieved overnight." The Great Elder didn't have such high expectations, he said lightly: "The old man only hopes that after fifteen, he can lose his reputation and completely lose his prestige in the clan, and then wait for the end of the year to succeed in one fell swoop!" ”
"The Great Elder is far-sighted and takes every step of the way," several elders said in a tidal voice: "Even if it is Lu Shang, he will only end up in a fiasco in front of your elder." "Someone has already envisioned a bright future after ousting Lu Shang from power." Great Elder, do you really want to let that Lu Yi come to power at that time? This kid is two-faced and three-stabbed, both respectful to us, but also unclear with the valve owner. ”
"I know better than you what he is." Lu Wen smiled coldly, gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "He is just a bush of wall grass without opinions." After a pause, he said: "But it is precisely like this, we are about to choose him, if it is really a ruthless person like Lu Jian, won't the elders become a wedding dress for people?" ”
"The Great Elder is right, Lu Yi is indeed the best one to control among the eight deacons." All the elders nodded one after another, and some couldn't help laughing: "That kind of goods become the lord of the valve, and the land valve is the world of our elders!" ”
"Hahaha!" Several elders burst out laughing excitedly at the thought of being able to do whatever they wanted in the future and pee on the neck of the lord.
"It's too early to say this, it's not too late to talk about it when Lu Shang is ousted." The Great Elder looked at these goods with displeasure, these people were all born and died when they were young, they can be regarded as a generation of figures, why did they become so unbearable after they got old?
Of course, he wouldn't think he was like them. The Great Elder said in a deep voice: "The most important thing at the moment is to do a good job in Lu Jian's first seven days and sound the death knell for Lu Shang's end!" ”
"Yes!" Seeing that the Great Elder's expression was serious, several elders also quickly restrained their smiles and responded in a serious manner.

It's fifteen in a blink of an eye, and the Lufang wharf is very lively, because today is the day when the clan distributes money and food.
There are 30,000 or 40,000 people in the capital, and they can receive varying amounts of money and grain from the clan every month. Originally, they went to the accounting office to collect money and food, but even if they came to collect it by household, there were as many as five or six thousand households, and the square in front of the Three Fears Hall was crammed to the brim.
These clansmen gathered together, greeting and laughing, shouting and talking nonsense, and the noise was intertwined, which could turn the sky upside down. The valve couldn't stand it, so he changed the place where he received the money and grain to the dock, at least out of sight.
At this time, the wharf was already full of mule carts and carriages, and there were also many land valve servants carrying baskets and carts, following their masters, and squeezing them with all their strength. Although it was late autumn, everyone was still covered in stinky sweat. It's just that I can get that money and food earlier.
In the eyes of the common people, it seems that a top high-ranking family like Lu Valve should be rich and full of oil, and there are big fish and meat. But in fact, there are countless children in the gate valve, there are tens of thousands in the capital alone, except for those who have become big officials, or a few people who have important positions in the valve can be rich and powerful, most of the children of the gate valve are not having a good time.
These people who do not produce and disdain to do business are waiting for this day every month, and their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and various expenses for gifts and exchanges all have to be spent on the money and food distributed by the clan every month. Many people are still waiting for the rice to be put into the pot at home, how can they not be in a hurry?
But the more anxious they were, the more they did not see the ship of the Accounting House coming. Seeing that more and more people were gathering on the dock, it was difficult to turn around. The anger of the clansmen inevitably rushed upward. "What's the matter, what are the people in the Accounting Institute rubbing?!"
"It's just that, at this time, the grain should have been transported back from the Tongluo warehouse a long time ago, and it has been distributed for a while."
"Is it possible that another ship is on the other side of the water gate, blocking our grain ship outside the city?" Some people guessed based on past experience.
"Even if the grain ship is blocked outside the city, there is no car carrying money!" The rest of the people shook their heads categorically and said, "Our money is stored in the accounting institute, so the car won't be blocked, right?" ”
"That can't be." Between the dock and the land square is the territory of the land valve, who dares to stand in the way of the carriage that transports money to the clansmen? Not afraid of being eaten alive by angry clansmen?
"That's weird!" The clansmen's voices became higher and higher: "What are you doing in the accounting yard, there is no movement until now, and you don't even let out a fart!" ”
