Chapter 586: Zhou Kunlai's sincerity

The Lu family finally believed it, and the governor of Liangjiang sent his most trusted master to the Lu family to collect evidence, which was of course a shocking case.

The letter is the letter, but the matter is not finalized, the patriarch of the good old man Lu Buzhong finally spoke, "We can't go ......"

He shook his head at Siniang and said, "In this court, my father reversed, and we didn't recognize it in our hearts. But in your court, if your father is still there, I'm afraid he won't recognize it. Compared with the two imperial courts in the north and south, this court shaved its hair and was easy to wear, but it still protected the Taoist system of our scholars, your imperial court restored the Chinese clothes, but lost the Taoist system, and our Lu family wanted to flee south, which is a loss of integrity. ”

Siniang, Liu Songding, Huang Er and others all felt that their chests were churning with blood and rotten, rotten, so rotten that people really had nothing to say......

Lu Yizhong said with difficulty: "Fifth brother, this is not the time to argue and reason, the lives of a group of people are at stake."

The sixth Lu Nazhong stood beside Lu Buzhong and said loudly: "Scholars value their own reputation, how can they only value their lives like mosquitoes and ants?" If we really want to escape, the name of our fathers will be tarnished, and we, our descendants, will go down to the Yellow Spring, and we will not have the face to see our fathers and our fathers again."

Speaking of the famous festival, Lu Yizhong had nothing to say, he looked at Siniang, and shook his head apologetically and regretfully.

Although the others were worried about life and death, but the people of the clan were full of poetry and books, once the patriarch decided to die, they did not dare to have any objections, the men were relatively silent, the women supported each other, and bit the handkerchiefs, not daring to let the cry come out, and the hall was covered by a heavy and solemn cloud of mourning.

Siniang is angry and respectful of these two old men, angry that her evaluation of the Tartar court and Yinghua is so biased, and she respects their concept that "there are always things that are more important than life and death".

Although the rotten Confucianism is rotten, it is not the kind of cynicism that she heard Li Shi say. Li Shi said that the integrity and character that Confucianism insisted on were also the precious wealth accumulated in China over thousands of years, so he never thought of completely defeating Confucianism in the country, and even allowed the Confucian Party to speak out all the time. It was Li Xian's thinking that made Siniang feel that the Lu family must be saved.

She is unwilling to give up, the comparison between the northern and southern courts that Lu Buzhong said, as well as the theory of integrity, she is not a scholar, so she can't refute it, but she has other ideas.

"What I want to save is Mr. Seven, Mr. Seven said that if the clan doesn't leave, he won't leave, so I save you, just by the way, not to let you go to Yinghua."

"This world is very big, and the Tartar court has not been able to occupy it all, and I Yinghua has not yet occupied it all. When the Ming Dynasty died, countless people went overseas, and there were even great Confucians like Zhu Shunshui who first went to Guangnan and then to Japan. ”

"If you don't want to go to Yinghua, it doesn't matter, when you get to the Yinghua territory, and then go to other places, feel free, not only the north and the south are available."

Siniang's words finally had an effect, or it was to find steps for people who were still thinking about it, and was forced by everyone's eyes, Lu Buzhong sighed: "That's fine......"

There was jubilation in the hall, and everyone hurried to clean up their belongings, but Lu Buzhong said to Lu Yizhong: "My Lu clan will be handed over to you." ”

Facing the frightened and surprised eyes, Lu Buzhong said: "I am nearly seventy years old, I have lived long enough, and I can't stand the toss of boats, and besides, the court in the north, I am afraid that if I want to dig the grave of my father, someone will have to move the coffin......"

Lu Nazhong also said resolutely: "I will stay with the fifth brother, the Lu family, in-laws and protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the south of the Yangtze River, if the Lu family is gone, no one is in front, they will all suffer." ”

Lu Yizhong choked up and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lu Buzhong: "It's enough to have me and the sixth child here, you don't have to stay, when the clan goes to the south, there must always be a parent who can speak." ”

Lu Yizhong let out a long sigh and bowed deeply to the two brothers.

has not experienced the rise and fall of a big family, watching this family face life and death, and in an orderly manner, Siniang and others are also quite emotional.

However, the time was urgent, and they couldn't pack up their belongings so calmly, Lu Yizhong also wanted to move away the Lu family's book collection, but in the face of Siniang's "complaining" gaze, after all, he only packed up his father's anthology, and then asked the family to bring gold and silver, and in the afternoon, one hundred and thirty-four people from the family went out of the house.

The scheduled place of contact was Gimpo at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, 90 miles away, and if it was 134 Anglo-Chinese soldiers, it would be a piece of cake at all. But at the moment, there are one hundred and thirty-four people, men, women and children, as well as patients, even if there is a carriage that Heaven and Earth will dispatch urgently, but the road is not as smooth as Yinghua, and the journey will take a day or two. Liu Songding came to report that Fubiao, Zhejiang Province was only thirty or forty miles away from Shimen County, including hundreds of horse teams, and the situation was very urgent.

Huang He took the initiative to ask: "I have a relationship with the Shimen County Ya, if the county prison makes some moves, it may be able to confuse the people and delay time." ”

Siniang nodded: "Yellow Boss be careful of your own safety, don't act reluctantly." ”

Huang Erhe smiled: "That's natural, we're not that rotten Confucian, we know what we can do, and there is still ...... in Jiaozhi."

"There is also a little lady waiting for Annan" These words were pressed back into his stomach by him, this former prison head who was in Yingde County Prison and unintentionally helped Li Xian force the thief Zheng Qi to death, his fate has changed, and his behavior has changed a lot, but his ruthless skills have not changed.

Even if Huang is delayed in Shimen, there is a long way to go, and there are countless levels, how to deal with it?

Siniang's willow eyebrows were horizontal, and the courage of the master Yan Sanniang filled her body, and she said coldly: "Although there are few of us, we are all the strongest of the strong, so we will kill all the way."

Liu Songding touched his nose and said in his heart that he had a good plan......

This is also the best choice, the Qing court checkpoints are all Tang soldiers set up under the green camp Xun, there are only a dozen people in each place, and the checkpoints in charge of tax collection have little combat effectiveness. As long as they rush through and do not stop, even if a large group of people gather in the three counties of Shimen, Haining and Haiyan along the way, it will take a day or two, and then they should be at sea. What needs to be taken into account is the pursuers behind the scenes, as well as the men and horses intercepted at sea.

Zhou Kunlai, who was escorted in the team, suggested to Siniang: "There are so many women and children who are old and weak, and it is difficult to ensure that there will be no accidents when they rush all the way to the east. If you turn to the south and get on the boat from Haining, it is only about 30 miles. ”

Of course, Haining is close, Siniang and others have considered it, but the Jiangnan Navy Division of the Qing Dynasty has a fleet stationed in Haining to cover the sea surface of Hangzhou, and it is obviously too dangerous to go to Haining.

Even if Zhou Kunlai helped Siniang speak before, his opinion suddenly showed his ill-intention. Liu Songding sneered: "Don't give up? Let us go to Haining and wait for the water master of the Tartars to serve a pot? ”

Zhou Kunlai shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm just making a suggestion, after all, Li Wei's master is in your hands, as long as he cooperates, this plan is still feasible, and the risk is less than going east." ”

Li Wei's master Tian Fang also became a prisoner, and he was also prepared to catch him, but he didn't think it would be useful at this time. If you fool this person to get through, there is indeed a certain possibility.

But based on the fact that Zhou Kunlai is still not credible, especially because he never talks about his inside line in the Praetorian Guard Department, his suggestion was not adopted, and it also made Siniang and Liu Songding more and more confused about this guy's intentions.

In Huzhou Mansion, three hundred miles north of Hangzhou, Li Wei hurried to the Huzhou Mansion with his cronies, and as soon as he entered the city, he received a secret guard from Zhou Kunlai's subordinates.

"What? Someone from the Southern Barbarian Military Intelligence Department is here? Or a black cat, a red cat or something? ”

Li Wei has been a high-ranking official in the past few years, and his face is ruddy, but when he heard the news, his face turned pale instantly.

"Hurry up and get into the government and keep a tight guard"

Li Wei suddenly felt chills all over his body, at this moment in his mind, what Lu Liuliang's case is no longer important, but his own life is important. Five or six years ago, he was in Hunan, and he was subjected to the rectification of the Nanban black cats, and the black cats, in broad daylight, robbed him on the streets of Changsha Mansion, and also passed through Yue County, Zhouzhou, and went straight to Guangzhou.

He can still live here, and he can return to the north and become a feudal official, which was given to him by Li Xianrao. If Li Shi wanted to take his life again, he felt that it would be difficult to prevent it. In his mind, Li Xi has changed from a villain many years ago to an omnipotent demon.

In the Huzhou Mansion, Li Wei was pacing back and forth tremblingly, and his mouth was muttering: "What should I do? What to do......"

Seeing that a great achievement is about to be done, but I don't want Nanban to interfere, what should I do?

Back then, Zhang Boxing burned the Pan Saintess in Wuchang, and Yongzheng burned his butt so that Li Wei arrested Zhang Boxing and Ling Chi made amends. Now that Nanban is coming to ask for Lu Liuliang's descendants, Yongzheng doesn't dare to say anything.

But now Yongzheng's authority is getting stronger and stronger, and he is paying more and more attention to face, although he wants to be soft to the south, he must find someone to carry the black cauldron, how should he Li Wei carry this black cauldron at that time?

Wait a minute......

After a big turn in his mind, Li Wei finally got rid of the panic and noticed a question, if it was really Nanban who wanted someone, why did he take such a risk, just go directly through the Forbidden City Yinghua Palace. At present, the Nanban dignitaries are just Zhou Kunlai's words, could it be Zhou Kunlai's own meaning? ..., Li Wei couldn't figure it out: "What is Kunlai thinking about this week?" ”

Putting aside the matter of Zhou Kunlai, what should Lu Liuliang do about it, Li Wei was scratching his head, and his subordinates suddenly came to report, saying that Zhejiang Fubiao was going to Shimen.

Li Wei was furious: "This Fan Shiyi, grabbing merit and grabbing his head is also involved?" ”

Then a spirit, he slapped his thigh: "If you grab it well, let that guy snatch it"

The subordinate asked carelessly: "Make the table, then we are ......?"

Li Wei glared at his subordinates: "Don't let up for a moment if you guard this governor."

Siniang and the others never expected that if it weren't for Fan Shiyi, the governor of Zhejiang, they would have been able to go to sea leisurely. At dusk, when the black cats and red cats united to repel the outpost of the Fubiao horse team, Siniang had to start considering Zhou Kunlai's suggestion.

Zhou Kunlai sighed and said: "Actually, I have sent news to Li Wei, saying that the south wants the Lu family, and now Fubiao is still chasing, I am afraid that it is Fan Shiyi, the governor of Zhejiang, who did it himself." ”

Siniang asked directly: "What you did was to go around the north and south?" ”

Zhou Kunlai asked rhetorically: "Isn't it okay?" ”。

Siniang sneered: "Look at the affairs of the Lu family, do you think it's okay?" ”。

Zhou Kunlai shrugged: "I'm not a scholar, I'm just a businessman, or rather, I just want to be a businessman." ”

Siniang said: "Businessman, what can you buy and sell?" ”

"News, relationships, things that can't see the light, I can do it in Jiangnan", Zhou Kunlai looked honest, and Siniang felt that his expression did not seem to be fake.

Zhou Kunlai continued: "Just like Siniang said, the world is so big, the court in the north does not occupy all of it, and the south does not occupy all of it, and scholars can still invest overseas, can't people like me be allowed to only buy and sell?" ”

Siniang shook her head: "You owe us, you still have an inside line in the south that endangers the official family, and no one believes these words at all." ”

Zhou Kunlai stopped talking, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Next, I will prove my sincerity, as for the matter of the inside line, I always have to think about my own life, with this, you will not kill me at will." ”

In the battle just now, more than 30 cavalry were repulsed, and there were also wounded in the team, and the protected Lu family was even more panicked, if they continued to the east, it was really difficult to say what accidents would happen, Siniang bit her lip lightly, and finally made a decision.

She said to Zhou Kunlai: "Then prove your sincerity" ......,
