Chapter 20 The world is sinister
Coming out of the Lu family, the person who was called Master Wu by Lu Tiannan was sneaky and looked around. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Then, got into a carriage.
The carriage turned left and right, and it circled the city for a long time. Then, turn into an alley.
In the alley, there is a tavern. At this time, there is only one person in the tavern, sitting at a table and drinking. The shopkeeper and runner of the tavern are nowhere to be seen.
The man was thirty miles away, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and had a long knife hanging from his waist. I was pouring myself a drink, sucking the wine in my glass, as if I had an endless aftertaste.
Master Wu walked in. The man with the knife didn't raise his head, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Master Wu bent down and slumped his back, bowed, and said flatteringly: "Steward Wang, the villain has made his words clear according to your explanation." ”
Steward Wang drank another glass of wine, turned the glass in his hand, and said, "Well, it's very good. My lord is the nephew of Lord Wang. In the past, it was inconvenient to disclose my identity, and I have always kept a low profile, but now I don't have to. Lord Wang has already passed down the meaning that the real fur business must be won. ”
"The villain understands, the villain understands. It's just that...... I'm pulling the strings ...... this," Master Wu said intermittently as if he wanted to say something.
"Your benefits are indispensable, my lord, after winning all the fur business, I will naturally cash in with you!" Steward Wang put the wine glass in his hand on the table and said impatiently.
"Hey...... The villain doesn't mean that, of course, Master Wang is indispensable for my little reward. Villain, that's it. "Master Wu was a little impatient when he saw that Wang was in charge. He bowed his hand and withdrew from the tavern.
Waiting for Master Wu to walk away, Steward Wang pinched the wine glass in his hand and smiled, his expression hideous. muttered to himself: "If it weren't for the fact that you are still useful now, Lao Tzu would have killed you immediately!" ”
After speaking, he poured another glass of wine, drank it dry, got up and left.
The two people in the clothes shop on the other side saw that the man was gone, and hurried back to the tavern.
"The shopkeeper, this man is fierce and vicious, and he left a tael of silver to charter the house. It's too much......" the shopkeeper muttered.
"Shut up! Tired of living? Do you know who this man is? The tavern shopkeeper hurriedly interrupted Xiao Er's words, looked around, and said with a nervous expression.
"Huh? ...... I don't know, this man...... Who is it? Xiao Er was startled when he saw the attitude of the shopkeeper, and said stumblingly.
"If you shouldn't know, don't ask. In short, if you keep your mouth shut, you will be able to live a few more days. Go to work. The shopkeeper shook his hand and said.
Xiao Er shrunk his neck and hurriedly ran to clean up the table.
This king is in charge, his name is Wang Erhu, and he has five brothers in the family, and he is the second. Originally, it was a real area, a character on the underworld. Later, he was favored by the Wang family and hired with a lot of money. Specializing in helping the Wang family, doing some unsightly things.
In recent years, it can be regarded as not often appearing on the rivers and lakes. So the shopkeeper didn't know him.
.........................................................................................
The Lu family's mansion.
Lu Tiannan took out a stack of silver tickets from a cabinet. turned around and handed it to the wife next to him, and said, "Xiaohuan, you go and dismiss the domestic servants quickly." You left overnight and went along the trade route to the grassland to find the eldest brother and Zheng'er. Then you go to Western Xia together and find the shopkeeper Wu to settle down. Dahua, I can't stay any longer. ”
Zheng Xiaohuan didn't take the silver ticket, looked at Lu Tiannan and said, "Husband, I want to accompany you for any big thing." I don't go unless, you go with me. ”
Lu Tiannan looked at his wife tenderly and said slowly: "Xiaohuan, if you want to keep the foundation of the Lu family, you have to go." They're not bold enough to kill people, so they won't stare at you as a woman. But I can't go. ”
Lu Tiannan went out in the morning and spent a lot of money. After a lot of twists and turns, I used the upper level to find out some news.
Lu Tiannan now knows what the background of the Wang family is.
The lord of the Wang family is called Wang Dafu.
In the imperial history of the dynasty, Wang Huang was the distant uncle of this king Dafu. Wang Hao also had a close relationship with Liang Shicheng, the great eunuch beside the emperor, and it can be said that he was extremely powerful.
This Wang Dafu is actually a puppet used by Wang Hao to collect money. Develop business in the area of Zhending, help Wang Huang open up the situation, and take advantage of it.
Several of his own relatively large fur merchants, because of many years of operation, opened up the trade route from the Jin Kingdom to the Mongolian steppe. This Wang Dafu has taken a fancy to this fur business with great profits and wants to monopolize it.
Since they want to monopolize it, then they must be eliminated from these few big fur merchants.
Although Lu Tiannan has been in business for many years, he can already be regarded as a figure with a head and face in Zhending Mansion. However, compared with Wang Dafu, who has a court official background, he has no strength to fight.
When Lu Tiannan went home, he found someone and followed him behind. Lu Tiannan is still not sure how vicious Wang Dafu will be.
After thinking about it, the decision was made to let his wife leave.
There is no news from their own caravan so far. Most likely, there has been some big trouble. I just don't know if my eldest brother Lu Tiancheng can withstand it.
His eldest brother, only two daughters, is already married. Although the eldest brother also worked hard to help himself, the eldest brother was not good at business and had no ability to run the family business.
Besides, once the eldest brother comes back, the Wang family will not let the eldest brother go.
His only son, Lu Zheng. It is also a steppe that follows the caravan and goes together. It must be now, too, in danger.
His son is the only heir of the Lu family now. In the face of this catastrophe, Lu Zheng has become the only hope for the Lu family.
Lu Tiannan didn't want the foundation of the Lu family to be completely broken. Otherwise, if you die, how to face it, the ancestors of the Lu family.
I work hard and work hard. The family business passed down from the ancestors has gradually developed and grown. Over the years, how difficult it has been.
It must not be in his own hands and ruin the foundation and incense of the Lu family. In any case, even if he needs to pay the price of his life, he must protect Lu Zheng.
Seeing that his wife refused to leave, Lu Tiannan told his wife the key to these things. But his wife still didn't leave.
Lu Tiannan was helpless, so he took out Lu Zheng and said that it was likely that the whole family would be implicated.
Speaking of Lu Zheng, Zheng Xiaohuan cried. After parting with her husband in life and death, she got up and was just about to prepare.
Lu Tiannan called out to his wife and said, "Xiaohuan, after you give the servants and maids the silver, let them not leave first." Tomorrow morning, let them go. When you go out on your own, don't dress up for a long trip. You only carry a basket, pretend to go shopping, go directly to the carriage outside the city, and hire a car......"
Said here. Lu Tiannan suddenly stopped talking, and the expression on his face changed greatly. Then he squinted in the direction of the door, and suddenly shouted, "Who is it?!" ”
