Chapter 229: Reaction
"Are you saying that all this was designed by someone behind the scenes, in order to make the Xie and Zhao families have a grudge against each other because of those five acres of land, and even cause a big conflict?" After listening to Lu Jin's statement, Hua Qianfeng looked serious and asked again in a solemn tone.
Lu Zhen nodded: "That's right, so my lord, the lower officials think that the top priority is to quickly arrest the person who pretends to be Li Laoshi!" If it weren't for the fact that the lower officials had just sent someone to find the corpse of the real Li Laoshi's mother and son, they wouldn't have dared to make such an astonishing conclusion. It must be very difficult for someone to lay out such a big game. ”
"No!" Unexpectedly, Hua Qianfeng immediately waved his hand and vetoed Lu Jin's proposal: "In this way, it will inevitably cause a storm in the city, and it may even lead the fire to ourselves, this matter must not be leaked!" ”
"But......" Lu Zhen wanted to persuade a few more words, but was directly interrupted by the Hua Governor's Mansion: "Since things have not deteriorated, and the Zhao Xie family has joined forces because of this, don't make more trouble." Otherwise, I'm afraid that more people will do unpredictable things because they covet the things under the five acres of land, which is very bad for Hangzhou and us, do you understand? ”
"But those two corpses ......"
"Now only you and your cronies know their identities, so it is possible to say that they died suddenly, and they should be buried in a mass grave outside the city. This official doesn't want to make any more trouble, as for the conspiracy, since it has been disturbed by you, presumably the other party will not show up again. More than one thing, it's better to have less, this is the criterion for the longevity of the function in Jiangnan and in my Hangzhou, do you understand? ”
Lu Zhen still wanted to argue a few sentences, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. He could see that Hua Qianfeng had already made up his mind not to pursue the matter, and he was just a second-in-command who could only act on orders, so it was really not good to issue orders on his behalf. Even if he gives the order himself, I am afraid that the people in the yamen will not obey his orders.
It wasn't until this time that he knew the difficulties of being a second officer. In the past, even if the official position was not as good as it is now, he was the leader of a yamen, and he decided what he wanted to do. But now, even if you know what you should do, once your boss opposes it, you have no curse at all. A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly hit his heart, and in the end he could only give it up, and reluctantly responded: "The lower official obeys the order." ”
"Lu Tongju, you have done a good job this time, and this official will report to you for credit according to the truth. This raise of hand eliminated a possible dispute, which made a great contribution to my Hangzhou. Seeing that he obeyed, Hua Qianfeng's face also softened, and he praised him a few more words. However, these words of praise were extremely uncomfortable in Lu Jin's ears, so he could only smile reluctantly and say a few modest words, and then he withdrew from Hua Qianfeng's room.
Although it was impossible to continue to investigate the matter, Lu Zhen wrote it down in his heart. Because he had a faint feeling that these guys who were doing such things in secret would not stop there, and maybe at some point, they would find some opportunity again to provoke disputes in Hangzhou.

On the edge of the West Lake, in addition to some famous restaurants, there are also several elaborate manors, which are the residences of the owners of several major families in the city. At this time, in the study of the atrium of the manor, which covers the most extensive area in the east, with a total area of seven or eight acres, Zhao Xian was standing below with his head down, waiting for the reaction of the rather wealthy half-hundred-year-old man above.
After negotiating the matter from the government and making a note, he hurriedly brought his things back and handed over the relevant land deeds and other things.
The old man did not look at the relevant papers like that at this time, but leaned back on the bamboo chair, closed his eyes, and would have mistakenly thought that he had fallen asleep had it not been for the slight tapping of the index finger of his right hand on the arm of the chair from time to time.
At this time, there were two servants in the room, plus two fierce men guarding the door, but these people gathered together, but they didn't make the slightest sound. Because everyone knows that when their master is thinking about things, all they have to do is hold their breath and wait for his final command.
After thinking quietly for half an hour, Zhao Guanghui, the master of the Zhao family, suddenly stopped his fingers and opened his eyes. Although his eyes were a little small, they shone with a palpitating light. was stared at by him, Zhao Xian's heart tightened for a while, and his waist straightened a little.
Finally, he slowly spoke: "Actually, this deal is also a small profit for us, and it is more secure to join forces with the Xie family, and it is not a loss." You've done a good job. ”
Hearing this judgment, Zhao Xiancai finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "The master praised it, this is a small matter." ”
Zhao Guanghui smiled and continued: "Compared with this benefit, what I value more is the general judgment of the government named Lu Jin. He was able to see the problem in just one day, and gave us two families an irresistible plan, this person is indeed good, no wonder he can make a name for himself in the capital. ”
"This Lu Tui official does have some skills, and he is also bold, and he dares to threaten the two of us." Zhao Xian couldn't help but complain a little.
Zhao Guanghui shook his head: "He saw our minds, so he was so tough." If you are just bold enough, you won't be able to get into my eyes. This person is good, and he is still young, so ......"
Zhao Xian's heart moved, knowing that his master had already developed a heart of love. Sure enough, Zhao Guanghui said: "In the future, you, there are still a few young masters who will have more contact with him, and those who can help him should be more attentive." You took the land this time, so I'll leave it to you to do the rest of the business, go ahead. ”
Zhao Xian's heart was suddenly happy, he knew how much wealth there was underground, and his master was doing his own benefit. He immediately agreed with some excitement: "Master Xie appreciates, the little one must try his best to do things well." Then he cautiously retreated.
It wasn't until after he went out that Zhao Guanghui looked at one of the servants who had no sense of presence just now: "What do you think about this?" "He is the head of the family, and just now he was just thinking and giving instructions to Zhao Xian, the right-hand man of the family, and now he is actually asking for the opinion of a servant.
And the servant he asked was not surprised at this time, and only thought for a moment and said: "There should be nothing wrong with him, obviously he didn't know about it, he was just being used." ”
"That's good, otherwise he Zhao Xian has been in my house for many years, and many things can't be hidden from him. However, what do you say is the origin of the person behind it, and why did he dig such a big hole for us? ”
"It's hard to understand what he meant by this trap. If someone is willing to throw out such a large deposit to lure us into the bait, instead of taking it and digging it secretly, then what he is trying to do will definitely not be a silver benefit, but something more rare. ”
"What's harder than money, is fame? Or ......" After seeing the strange smile on the other party's face, Zhao Guanghui suddenly made a sudden start, he had already understood, and the words that came to his mouth were no longer spoken: "That's it, since it is related to them, it is better to stay away from this matter, otherwise my Zhao family may have a big disaster to come to the door!" It's just that I don't know, whether the government official named Lu Jin can see this, and if he does, how will he deal with it. ”
The servant didn't answer his question again, only frowned, and it was clear that this incident had been a headache for him.

At the same time, on the other side of the West Lake, in a mansion comparable to the Zhao family's mansion, Xie Yi had also truthfully reported everything to Xie Bingxiao, the smiling family owner in front of him. After listening to this story, Xie Bingxiao's smile became a little bigger: "Yes, I was going to compete with others, and I might even have to take out some benefits to share with several others." Now that we can join hands with the Zhao family to do things, we will be much safer. ”
"But second uncle, aren't we going to have a lot less in this way?" A young man sitting below asked quite unhappily: "In the past, how dare he not give us what our Xie family wanted, but this time it's good, what kind of general judgment comes, he dares to let us give in directly, then what will he do in the future, do we have to endure it anymore?" If this is the case, how can the prestige of our Xie family in Hangzhou City remain? ”
"Hehe, Jingchang, there are some things that can't be considered from gains and losses, you are still young now, so you can't understand the truth too much. When you're older and you've seen a little bit of the world, you'll understand. In the face of the juniors' doubts, Xie Bingxiao didn't look a little annoyed, and still looked smiling.
"But......" Xie Jingchang was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Xie Bingxiao: "Don't pay attention to this matter, read the book well, it's better than anything else." In addition to doing business, our Xie family also has a reading style, and you are the most promising one among these juniors, but don't disturb your mind for these mundane things. Go ahead and review the book. ”
Seeing that Xie Bingxiao's face sank a little, Xie Jingchang didn't dare to insist on anything, so he agreed and left a little helplessly. Just looking at his expression, he was obviously quite unconvinced by this, and there were words in his mouth: "What Lu Tong judges, if you let Young Master Ben see it, you must make him look good!" ”
Seeing him leave, Xie Bingxiao sighed: "This Jingchang has not achieved much in his studies, but he has been dyed with the spirit of some scholars, hey, what should I do with him in the future?" ”
"Little master, he is just angry about his family, so he doesn't have to be anxious." Xie Yi hurriedly comforted.
"Hehe, that's it, don't mention him. Now that you've done this, I'll leave it all to you this time, so don't let me down. Like Zhao Guanghui's decision, he also entrusted the matter of the land to the family steward who completed it.
