Chapter 29: The Real Reason
In Lu Mansion, in Lu Pheasant's room, Lu Shizhi lowered his head and faced Lu Pheasant with a look of remorse.
"I'm sorry, second sister, I was wrong, it's all my bad that has affected you."
"I knew why I was greedy for money today." Lu Pheasant looked at Lu Shi and looked helpless, and finally said again: "Forget it, the second sister will help you carry it down this time, you have to remember it in the future, no matter when you remember a greedy word, although my Lu family is a businessman, but business also has a way, and greed will definitely cause trouble." ”
Lu Shizhi said respectfully: "Yes, second sister, I remember, but what should I do about that incident, am I going to ask my brother-in-law for him?" The brother-in-law he said was naturally Zhao Jun, and when Lu Huan called his brother-in-law, he also called his brother-in-law.
"Don't tell your brother-in-law about this, he came this time to clean up the bandits, if he knows, it will be difficult for him, and it will affect his future." Lu Pheasant cautiously instructed, and finally asked, "By the way, do you think there is someone watching outside our mansion?"
Lu Shiyi was stunned and said, "No, I didn't find it?" is saying, now that there is a brother-in-law in Pei County, who dares to be unfavorable to our Lu family. ”
Shaking her head, Lu Pheasant knew Zhao Jun's character very well, even if she didn't go out to see, she guessed that Zhao Jun must be worried about herself, and left someone to take care of her outside the Lu Mansion.
"I'm going out of the secret passage now, and if someone asks me, you can help me resist for a while, and I'll be back before dark." Finally, Lu Pheasant got up and was about to leave the room.
"Second sister, why are you going?" Lu Shizhi vaguely felt a little wrong, so he asked with some concern.
Lu Pheasant smiled at him comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
After saying that, Lu Pheasant walked towards the entrance of the secret passage in the backyard, Lu Pheasant had a stubborn and independent personality, and Lu Shizhi could only nod helplessly in agreement.
The Lu family was originally a relatively large business in Handan, and naturally offended a lot of people, so they knew the truth of leaving a glimmer of life, and after Lu Gong came to Pei County to settle down, he secretly dug a tunnel in the backyard to a remote place in the south of Pei County.
After Lu Pheasant followed the secret passage in the backyard all the way to the south of the city, he went straight to Liu Ji's residence.
"Auntie?" Liu Ji heard the door ringing, and was shocked when he came out to see, Fan Hao and Zhou Bo were also there, they were also shocked when they saw Lu Pheasant, they didn't expect Lu Pheasant to come back to find Liu Ji, what do you mean? In the past two days, Fan Hao and Zhou Bo were afraid that Zhao Jun would assassinate Liu Ji, so Xiahou Ying and several people were on duty in Liu Ji's courtyard in shifts.
Lu Pheasant's face was a little cold and said, "You should call me by my name in the future, I came this time to talk to you about my brother." ”
Liu Ji's face was stunned after hearing this, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he smiled on his face: "Okay, Lu Pheasant, hehe, the change is really fast, talk about your brother's affairs?" Why don't you go to Zhao Jun, his current power is very big, oh, by the way, he must be afraid of affecting him, it's really a deep love. ”
Lu Pheasant's face did not change at all after hearing this, but he said lightly: "Liu Ji, I hope you can let my brother go, otherwise it will be bad for you and me, you let go of my brother, and I will not interfere in the grievances between you and Zhao Jun in the future, otherwise I will shake out the affairs between you and the county order in the swamp." ”
"You dare, stinky." Fan Hao and Zhou Bo behind him were furious, and if they wanted to shake this matter out, even if there was no Zhao Jun, they would be a capital crime.
"What am I afraid of?" Lu Pheasant asked rhetorically, not showing weakness at all.
"Then you go, I'll see if he Zhao Jun can kill me Liu Ji." Liu Ji suddenly yelled, and then said coldly: "Lu Pheasant, I warn you, if you dare to mess around, I will make your Lu family unsafe."
You don't have evidence to say that you have any evidence for those things in me, can you frame me just by your words, joke, there are many people in Pei County who are willing to prove Liu Ji's innocence for me, but the evidence of your brother's things is in my hands, and the county order also has a copy, saying, your Lu family has made a lot of profits from the swamp over the years. ”
However, Lu Pheasant sneered and said, "No evidence? You really make me a fool, as early as when you did these things, I secretly left a bamboo slip of your account, it's a big deal, and everyone will die together. ”
"Impossible, how can we let you know that I have destroyed all the bamboo slips recorded in our accounts?" Zhou Bo couldn't help but exclaim, because after making a profit in the swamp before, they would share the spoils with everyone according to the amount of money, of course, if you want to count it, you have to leave bamboo slips.
Liu Ji also didn't believe it, Zhou Bo has always been cautious in doing things, how could he leave a handle?
"There is still a gap in Baimi, since our Lu family is mixed in it, how can I not pay attention?" Lu Pheasant's face was determined, and others couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
Liu Ji smiled at this time and said: "Lu Pheasant, we almost became husband and wife, how can we be so ruthless?" I said, you promised me before, as long as I help the Lu family gain a foothold in Pei County, you will marry me, and I don't blame you for breaking your promise now, but you can't turn your face and be ruthless, let's go, let's go in and talk. ”
After that, Liu Ji stretched out his hand to pull Lu Pheasant, but Lu Pheasant flashed, and he walked in front and said coldly: "Hmph, you were the leader in pressuring our Lu family at that time, you forced my Lu family in disguise, don't think I don't know." ”
Liu Ji was noncommittal in the back, at that time he took a fancy to the Lu family's financial resources and business routes, so he wanted to tie up the Lu family to make a bigger fortune, when he saw Lu Pheasant's appearance, he was shocked, so he came up with the idea of marrying Lu Pheasant.
Walking behind, Zhou Bo whispered with some concern: "Big brother, I really destroyed all those things, but what if we were not caught by Zhao Jun?" ”
Liu Ji frowned, this was what he was worried about.
And Fan Xu's eyes flashed fiercely, but he suddenly whispered: "Big brother, aren't we planning to use this woman to force Zhao Jun to comply?" In the past few days, there are Zhao Jun's people guarding the Lu Mansion, and it is not appropriate for us to succeed, and now that she is obediently sent to the door, we might as well ask her to go out of the city first, and then inform the ink store to act now. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Bo was first shocked and asked: "Can this work, the time is too rushed, can the Mo family act on their side?" ”
But Liu Ji's eyes lit up, and he deliberately lagged half a step behind and whispered: "Just do it, if it is delayed, I am afraid that there will be no chance, as long as she is controlled at that time, the Mo family will have enough time to prepare, and it will not be too late to secretly ask Zhao Jun to go." ”
"I'll go and inform the people of the Mo family now, big brother, you are optimistic about this woman." After Fan Xu finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
Zhou Bo also pretended to shout: "Remember, bring more wine." ”
And Liu Ji quickly stepped forward to invite Lu Pheasant in, and said with a smile: "Hehe, since we each ask for what we need, it is better to let each other go, I have asked Fan Hao to get the bamboo slip with Lu Shizhi's handprint, after all, he almost became my brother-in-law, but I just don't know if you brought the bamboo slip with the account." ”
Lu Pheasant glanced at Liu Ji suspiciously, in her opinion, Liu Ji should not be such a good talker, but thinking about her younger brother and the Lu family, thinking about Zhao Jun's future, she can only choose to believe Liu Ji.
"Are you stupid to me, those things have been put in a safe place by me, as long as you take the evidence of Shizhi and destroy it, I will tell you where the bamboo slips that have been deposited are placed, anyway, I am here, you don't have to be afraid of me as a weak woman." Lu Pheasant said lightly.
After hearing this, Liu Ji smiled and said, "That's nature, hehe." ”
Then, the atmosphere in the room solidified, Liu Ji sat on the side and took a nap, and Zhou Bo stayed at the door without saying a word.
But Lu Pheasant suddenly had a bad premonition, and immediately said: "I'm waiting for three quarters of an hour, if anyone hasn't come yet, I'll leave." ”
"Haha, want to go?" At this moment, suddenly a loud laugh sounded outside the door, it was Fan Hao who had gone and returned, and there were four middle-aged men behind him.
Lu Pheasant's face changed, and he immediately exclaimed, "What do you want to do?" I can tell you, if I don't go back, my brother will come to the door immediately, and then you will wait to die. ”
"Hehe, arresting you is Zhao Jun's life." Liu Ji sneered, and then said, "Guess what would happen if he knew that his sister had been kidnapped, haha, take it away." ”
"Do it!" The four big men who came had a tacit understanding, two of them were on guard, and the two of them dragged Lu Pheasant out, and secretly a dagger was still on the back of Lu Pheasant's heart.
"If you want to live, follow us obediently." One of them threatened when he walked out of the door, Lu Pheasant knew that it was difficult to be good today, so he didn't resist, but he was full of regret in his heart, he really shouldn't trust Liu Ji, a villain, he must want to threaten his brother with himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant wanted to commit suicide with a dagger thrown back, but after thinking about it, even if he died, he didn't know that he would fall into the trap at that time, so it was better to stay for a useful body and wait for the reversal later.
After the analysis, Lu Pheasant began to secretly pay attention to the movements of the four people, and they were quick and capable, which was by no means comparable to the green skins under Liu Ji, and finally found that they were going to take themselves out of the city and to the Langya Mountain in the east.
In the city, in Liu Ji's courtyard, Fan Hao laughed and said: "Haha, stinky girls dare to look down on you, big brother, now you want her to look good, this time, Zhao Jun is also certain to die." ”
Zhou Bo's face was also happy, Zhao Jun was like a sharp sword hanging over their heads all the time, if they didn't get rid of it for a while, they wouldn't be able to live in peace for a while.
However, Liu Ji said at this time: "You go separately to inform Xiao He and the others, as well as our family, and let them all go out for a while." ”
"Big brother, what do you mean? Even if Zhao Jun suspects that we did it, but there is no evidence, we can't help it, and he will definitely be in a hurry to save Lu Pheasant at that time, and he may never come back, what are we afraid of? Fan Hao and Zhou Bo were stunned.
"You also said it, it's just possible, but maybe Zhao Jun came back safe and sound?" Liu Ji asked rhetorically, and finally said: "If he comes back alive, and Lu Pheasant really has our handle, then we are in danger, anyway, be prepared, you go quickly." ”
"Okay." The two looked at each other and quickly left.
Liu Ji leaned against the door and looked up at the sky, and said after a long time: "Zhao Jun, our confrontation has just begun. ”
