In the study, Lu Yun's head was a little big for a while. Not to mention that at the moment, his father and son have too shallow foundations, and they still need to rely on the influence of the valve owner to gain a foothold in the land valve. Just saying that Lu Wen has colluded with Xiahou Valve, and has long regarded his father and son as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, he must not let Lu Wen succeed.

"Or, hand over the account books that your subordinates got back from Qinzhou to the valve owner?" Uncle Bao came up with an idea.

At the beginning, Lu Yun learned from Xie Min that Lu Jian handed over the evidence that he could overthrow the Great Elder to his brother who was an official in Qinzhou for safekeeping, and ordered him to make it public once something happened to him. But after Lu Jian's death, the assassin of Qinzhou did not move for a long time, Lu Yun judged that he should be afraid, so he sent Uncle Bao to Qinzhou, pretending to be Lu Wen's messenger, and after a little intimidation, he really asked the other party to obediently hand over the account book.

Last month, the account book was in the hands of Lu Yun, who he had consulted with Lu Xin. As a result, he was a little disappointed, the account book did record the dirty transactions between Lu Jian and Lu Wen, and the time and amount of each transaction were recorded in great detail, but there was no decisive evidence - such as the receipt signed by Lu Wen.

The disclosure of this account book can certainly set off an uproar and cause the Great Elder to suffer serious doubts from all levels of the Valve. But if he can't come up with evidence that can be conclusive, the Great Elder can be cheeky and deny it. Even if Lu Shang took the opportunity to make trouble and ordered someone to find out about the matter, it would not be possible to find out within a few months.

A few months was enough time for the Great Elder to secretly transfer his property and destroy the evidence. And with Lu Yun and Lu Xin's current situation, they can't wait that long...... Therefore, for the sake of long-term consideration, he did not give the account book to anyone for the time being.

Listening to Uncle Bao's proposal, Lu Yun pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Presumably, the old lord is already an ant on a hot pot at this moment, and let his old man hurry for two more days, and then we will go to the snow to deliver charcoal......

"Charcoal in the snow?" Uncle Bao looked at Lu Yun in disbelief.

"Well, it's a robbery while it's hot." Lu Yun raised the teacup, clinked glasses with Uncle Bao lightly and said, "This time, we have to finish our work." ”

。

A Luohe River divides the city of Luodu into north and south, and compared to Luobei, where the streets are spacious, the walls of Zhumen are high, and the houses are like houses, the squares in Luonan are much more cramped and crowded. The further south you go, the worse it gets. In the southwest corner of the city, Gong'an Fang, the original street was quite wide, but most of the shacks and grass houses, pigsty and chicken coops built by various families were privately built, and the sewage on the whole street flowed sideways and smelled incomprehensible.

A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper wearing a cyan lake silk cotton jacket and a fox fur ear bun on his head, holding a gift box in one hand and covering his nose in the other, frowned and tiptoed, and walked cautiously on the dirty ground. After a while, he stopped in front of a house in the west and shouted a few times at the top of his voice.

"Sixteen masters, sixteen masters......"

Unable to hear a response, the butler had no choice but to push open the dilapidated wooden door, walk through the narrow and deserted courtyard, and lift the curtain of the hall.

The corner of the black curtain, which could not be seen in its original color, was opened, and a choking smell of medicine mixed with the smell of inferior charcoal came to his face, making the housekeeper cough again and again.

"If you don't want money, you want to die, cough cough cough cough ......" On the kang in the house, there was a sick middle-aged man, who heard the cough, he didn't raise his head or open his eyes, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. See what is worth it, just take ......."

The housekeeper took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and looked into the house.

"Hehe, the sixteenth master is really ...... Free. The housekeeper walked to the side of the kang, pushed the medicine bowl and rice bowl on the kang table, and put down the gift in his hand. The villain didn't come to ask for debts, but on the orders of my eldest master, he came to visit the sixteenth master. ”

"Oh?" When the middle-aged man heard the sound, he opened a slit and caught a glimpse of the gift box in the butler's hand. His eyes lit up, he sat up, and without being polite to the other party, he lifted the lid of the box, grabbed the bag of snacks inside, tore open the oiled paper bag indiscriminately, and gobbled it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that he looked like he hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, the butler sighed lightly, picked up the broken copper kettle on the stove, first flushed the dirty porcelain bowl with hot water, and then poured water for the middle-aged man.

"Drink some water, don't choke......" The housekeeper's eyes were red and said: "If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe what I said, the dignified Sixteenth Master of the Land Valve, actually lived like this." ”

The middle-aged man looked indifferent, just caring about eating hard. It wasn't until he had eaten all the eight dim sum that he was suddenly stunned.

I saw that at the bottom of the gift box, there were eight yellow gold ingots neatly placed.

"At the end of the year, my eldest master knows that it is not easy for the sixteenth master, so let me send you some expenses." The butler smiled and nodded. "This money is just for the sixteenth master to celebrate the New Year, and in the future, my eldest master will have wealth and wealth to give away."

The middle-aged man stared at the gold ingots for a long time, Fang reached out and touched a handful of stubble stained with dim sum dregs, looked at the housekeeper suspiciously, and said, "Are you from the Great Elder's family?" ”

"The sixteenth master really has a good memory, and the villain is the steward of the Great Elder's Mansion, and his name is Zhang Chao." The housekeeper replied with a smile.

"How many years has my Lu Zhong been driven to this rat's nest, how can anyone ever ask about it?" The middle-aged man Lu Zhong coughed again, hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank two sips of water, and then said with a gloomy face: "How could the Great Elder think of me, a waste person?" ”

"Hehe, this villain doesn't know." Zhang Chao said with a smile: "The Great Elder only asked the villain to come to comfort the Sixteenth Master, and asked the Sixteenth Master to come over to the house when it is convenient." ”

"yes, got it." Lu Zhong nodded, sat at the kang table with a big sword, closed his eyes slightly, and groaned slightly: "You go back first." ”

"Okay, please don't delay, my eldest master is still looking forward to it." Seeing that Lu Zhong had just filled his stomach, he put up the stinky shelf of the children of the family again, Zhang Chao felt a greasy smell in his heart, and said goodbye with a slight stroke.

。

Inside the house, Lu Zhong was weighing the gold ingots while using his already frozen brain to ponder. He really couldn't figure it out, the dignified Great Elder, there was still something to ask him to be a wasted person?

After thinking about it, Lu Zhong smiled and said to himself: "Why do you want to do so much? Horizontal and vertical rotten life, are you afraid that he will calculate? ”

Thinking of this, he stretched his waist and moved to the edge of the kang, wanting to put on his shoes and go to the ground, but suddenly remembered that his only remaining pair of cotton boots had also been taken away by the debt collector earlier.

"Straight lady thief, even Lao Tzu's broken boots will not be spared." Lu Zhong took a sip of thick phlegm, and then stopped getting off the ground, leaning lazily on the kang with his legs crossed, just waiting for the creditor to come to the door.

Sure enough, after a while, several neighbors probed their brains in. Just now, as soon as Steward Zhang entered Lu Zhong's house, they saw it in their eyes, and naturally they also saw the gift box in Steward Zhang's hand. As soon as the guest left, several creditors rushed to the door, for fear that someone else would take the lead.

"Old Sixteen, someone has given you a gift, this time you can't say that you don't have any money, right?"

"That's it, this big year, why do you have to settle this year's meal money, otherwise who cares about your meal next year?"

"Lu Zhong, you owe me almost five years, you have to pay me back first!"

As a few neighbors were talking, they were about to go up and grab the gift box that was worth a lot of money at first glance.

Lu Zhong took the gift box away from the eyes of several people, and sneered: "Don't worry, no one is indispensable." ”

As he spoke, he took out the gold ingots from the gift box and threw one for each person.

"Now it's enough to even bring interest, right? You sixteenth master, I am not a debtor! ”
