Chapter 116: Hou Men is as deep as the sea

Lu Xun was just a child, and he didn't think about it so much, so he ran away happily. Seeing that his son was far away, Lu Bingcai asked, "What do you want to say about the second brother?" How can it be mysterious? ”

"What's going on with Xiaorui, it's been very wrong recently, a few days ago because of Yi'er's favor, and Mrs. Qi also likes her, she seems to have a more cheerful personality, and she talks and laughs on weekdays, why is it gloomy now, the same as before. Come to think of it, it's been like this since we had dinner together that day. Supposedly, third brother, this is your family matter, even if I am your second brother, I shouldn't ask more, but I'm really curious, and I'm afraid that if this continues, it will cause your family to be unhappy, and it will not be good for the growth of Xun'er and Yi'er, what do you say? Xia Dade said with a wink.

Xia Dade's voice paused, and he continued: "So if it's convenient, tell the second brother what's going on, don't keep it in your heart, if you pretend to be too much in your heart, it's easy to get sick." ”

Lu Bing sighed and said, "Do you know what I had to deal with Wei He for Lu back then?" ”

"Isn't it because he is in charge of intelligence work, but he knows that he has bent the law for personal gain, so you killed chickens and monkeys to set an example?" Xia Dade said, Lu Bing shook his head and said: "It's not just this, I just took this opportunity to remove him, after all, Wei He was born and died with me, and he also made great contributions to my glory back then." I can forgive our eldest brother Meng Lin for betraying me three or four times and putting me to death, how can I not help Wei He for such a small matter, and punish him severely? ”

"Then why do you say that? Don't let me guess, I'm going to die. Xia Dade urged, and suddenly his face changed. almost roared: "Nima, you don't mean that Wei He and Xiaorui have a leg and brought you a green hat, it's impossible, it's impossible, you definitely think too much." ”

When Lu Bing heard Xia Dade's speculation, he almost didn't tilt his nose and scolded: "Second brother." What's in your head? Is it all? ”

"I'm pretending to be all about you, not that I'm saying it's all your business, it's all for your good. Okay, okay, why? Xia Dade said darkly.

Lu Bing sighed and said: "Because Wei He was bribed by Zhu Houxi, he arranged to monitor me by my side, which is also to explain my words and deeds in the army." The emperor knows the reason well. I allowed him to make mistakes. He is also allowed to betray, and even if he makes mistakes, I am willing to believe that he is unintentional, because people make mistakes. It's just that I can't allow me to force a smile on him when I know it, and keep him with me and continue to endanger myself and my family. ”

"Wei He is a smart man, if it were someone else, I would mistake him and let him pass on some false news to the emperor, and I can't hide Wei He's eyes, not to mention that I treat him as a brother, even if he is deceiving me. It's also hard for me to do the opposite and act in front of him. Therefore, he had to let him go this way, and only begged the emperor to send someone I did not know to be a spy. Then I can let go and act. Lu Bing said.

Xia Dade nodded, and scolded hatefully: "Those who betray their brothers should be killed, this kind of goods should be hammered to death if I know the truth, that is, you are so kind-hearted, and let him live." But I don't understand, what does this have to do with Xiaorui? ”

"Xiaorui is a spy by my side, and he took refuge with Zhu Houxi earlier than Wei He, and reported my affairs at home to the emperor, as for how much was reported and what content, some I know the way, and some I don't know the way." Lu Bing said.

Xia Dade's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak for a long time, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and said, "This won't be, who told you this news." ”

"It was Wei He who said it, and later I used the secret line left by Jiang Bin, and the news I got was indeed true, not to mention that the second brother, you look at Xiaorui's reaction, don't you think that she is a sign of not being a thief? She's not suitable to be an undercover agent, and we're not stupid, so hey. Lu Bing sighed again.

"Then why did she do this, and why did she go back to the capital so fearfully. It's unlikely, and it's not going to do her any good to bring you down. Xia Dade asked puzzled.

"It's all about the scheming and the fear that comes from the heart." Lu Bing sighed and said: "A woman's heart is a needle, I Lu Bing don't dare to say that I understand, I can only say my own guess." Xiaorui is the first girl I know, and she can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, but it's a pity that I don't have a relationship between men and women, and I know everything about my brother and sister Xueqing, and you know everything about the second brother, so I won't bother to say anything about this. Since then, Xiaorui has had a gap in her heart, Zhu Houxi, you and him can only be regarded as acquaintances, but you have not had much contact, but you should know about his ability to speak flamboyantly. Hey, so Xiaorui was bewitched, and Xiaorui was the maid of Xingwangfu since she was a child, but she was later given to the Lu family as a girl, and then the Lu family lived in the courtyard of Xingwangfu to serve conveniently, which led to Xiaorui's natural awe of Zhu Houxi, who was born in Xingwang, and now he is the king of a country, which is even more majestic. So second brother, do you understand why Xiaorui is doing this spy? Lu Bing said.

Xia Dade nodded and said, "I roughly understand, it seems that you don't love Xiaorui, and Xiaorui doesn't love you either." ”

"No, maybe she doesn't know what love is, but she is really good to me, but she was deceived by Zhu Houyu at first, and when she realized that she wanted to turn back, it was too late, Zhu Houyu estimated that she would force Xiaorui and threaten her with things such as making things public. The reason why she didn't dare to return to the capital now was probably because she was afraid that Zhu Houyu would let her spy on me again, and because she had a handle in Zhu Houxi's hands, she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to hide in Dengzhou, which was far away from Emperor Tiangao. It can be seen that Xiaorui is not hopeless and greedy for glory, not to mention what kind of glory I Lu Bing can't give her? Lu Bing said.

Xia Dade frowned and said, "Then when did you know the Tao?" Who else knows? ”

"I knew about it a long time ago, because of the appearance of Wei He, I just started to fight back, that is, to lay out around the emperor, and then I just said that through Wei He, I knew that Xiao Rui was told, and in the end, it also added trouble to myself. Actually, I didn't have any other ideas. Even if Zhu Houxi spies on me, what can I do, it's just listening to some gossip and complaining and insulting, and I'm not afraid of shadows. I didn't do anything substantial, I just lost a little bit of my mouth, and I was loyal to him to Daming. It's just that this time, it's difficult for Xiaorui. Speaking of who knows the way, it's just you, me and Xue Qing who know the way, so I ask the second brother to keep it secret. Lu Bing sighed again.

Xia Dade patted Lu Bing's shoulder and said, "Third brother, it's really difficult for you." But your heart is really big enough, and it's not easy for you to sleep on the side of the couch and be able to accommodate others to snore. I can see that you are good to her too. Otherwise, Lu Yi would not have been passed on to her. Okay, third brother, I'll just ask about this clearly, and I won't worry about you. Don't worry, I won't say more. You don't know your second brother's mouth yet, it's very strict. ”

Lu Bing smiled and didn't say anything more, just motioned for Xia Dade to play with Lu Xun, and then went back alone.

—————————————————————————————————————

Lu Bing received the news of entering Beijing, and learned of the top three in the imperial examination, and immediately felt very excited, thinking that after entering Beijing, he would have to let the four people invite him to eat and drink. They're just too competitive. This will be shown later.

Ever since Lu Bing started to start all the spies. The news in most parts of the country can be accurately and continuously transmitted to Lu Bing's ears, and the capital, as the economic and political center of the country, has a lot of news, Lu Bing suddenly felt a little tired and busy, and even sometimes imagined how good it would be if he were a monkey, plucking a single hair and blowing out tens of millions of Lu Bing, and he would not be so lacking in skills.

Sun Xiao's nephew Xu Yang has been a helper to Lu Bing for a long time, and his previous performance was very good, whether it is in the world or his work ability, but Lu Bing always feels that he is separated from himself, and Lu Bing, who has experienced wind and rain, has seen the warmth and coldness of the world, so he doesn't believe Xu Yang very much. After all, there is no fateful friendship, let alone a grasshopper on a rope, and the occasional flash of greed in Xu Yang's eyes also makes Lu Bing worried, so Xu Yang seems to be Lu Bing's right-hand man now, but in fact, he has done some peripheral work, and he does not touch the real core.

As for Meng Xueqing, now he has fully taken over all the industries of the Lu family in Shandong, Lu Bing supplies the guards in the backyard, and also supplies Cai Longyu, a good man in the green forest, as well as the old Jinyi guard spies all over the north and south of the river, not to mention that their equipment, blades, and firearms require a huge amount of money to be fully equipped, but the expenses and energy spent on ordinary eating, drinking, and Lazar should not be underestimated. Therefore, Meng Xueqing is also very busy, and she has to make the Lu family's industry profitable every day, otherwise she will lose all the losses and enter a place of no return. The relationship between Lu Bing and these people is very delicate, there is no loyalty at all, it is nothing more than some money transactions and interests.

Xia Dade has this talent, it seems to be a little stupid, but in fact he is wise and foolish, he is a really smart person, if he helps Lu Bing, he can really help a lot, but Xia Dade is not here, let him help by the way, but if he is given any persistent tasks, Xia Dade is afraid that he will not do it. As Xia Dade's third brother, Lu Bing knows his second brother's temper very well, and he clearly has a good brain, but he doesn't like to use his brain, so he likes to do some simple and rough rectal things. Therefore, Lu Bing did not force it, but just let it go.

Thinking about it, Lu Bing didn't think of a clue, he could only sigh at the hardships of a thousand troops who were easy to find, but Duan Qingfeng stood up at this time, and Lu Bing quickly calmed down after being ecstatic.

It's not that he doesn't trust Duan Qingfeng, this person and himself are friends of life and death, not in generalities, but really walked in front of the Hades Palace several times together, and saved himself once, so Lu Bing trusted Duan Qingfeng very much. However, trust is not enough, Yang Feiyan is his wife, both glory and loss, it is said that she is also trustworthy, but Yang Feiyan has no talent to do big things, so Lu Bing did not arrange for her to help him, in Lu Bing's opinion, Duan Qingfeng is also the same.

Speaking of sword dancing and arguing about qi, Duan Qingfeng is an indispensable master, but when it comes to doing things, Lu Bing's heart really has no score. So Lu Bing tried to hand over the work of Sichuan Shu's spy to Duan Qingfeng, first, the situation in Sichuan Shu is not precarious now, there is no need to take it step by step, even if there is something that is not good enough, it will not hinder the overall situation. There is also Duan Qingfeng's takeover, which also shares part of Meng Xueqing's pressure, and now Meng Xueqing is not only in charge of the Lu family's industry in Shandong, but also has to worry about secret agents, Lu Bing is quite unbearable in his eyes, and he only feels that there are a trace of fine wrinkles in the corners of Meng Xueqing's eyes.

To Lu Bing's surprise, within four days, Meng Xueqing found Lu Bing and said that he could continue to delegate power to Duan Qingfeng, because from the order in which he handled the case file, it could be seen that this person had great management talents. There are a large number of secret agents, and what is needed is not only the ability to judge, but also the most important thing is to summarize and summarize, otherwise Lu Bing will not be able to see it at all, because everyone must tell the truth in every detail, so the amount of information can be imagined.

Lu Bing hurriedly asked Duan Qingfeng why he didn't say that he had this talent earlier, but Duan Qingfeng replied with a smile that Lu Bing didn't ask earlier.

It turned out that Duan Qingfeng had followed Danyangzi to learn martial arts since he was a child, and various Taoist dossiers were involved in a lot of depth, and he also had some involvement in Buddhism, Confucianism, Zen, etc., as for those miscellaneous studies, it was even easier to come by, and the children who came out of such a huge sea of books naturally studied this aspect of the summary. It's just that he has a specialization in the art industry, and what Duan Qingfeng has learned is mostly related to the cultivation of inner spiritual power and martial arts, otherwise if he is allowed to study articles and knowledge, he may not be much worse than those champions.

Meng Xueqing is great, she understands in her heart why the second brother, who is unwilling to participate in this kind of business, insists on the task of dividing Cai Longyuquan. That's still for his son Lu Xun, of which Xiangyun is indispensable. And Duan Qingfeng teaches Lu Yi every day, eager to hand over all his martial arts to him, although he is very strict with him, in fact, he also loves and treats him as his own, the heavier the power of such characters, the more detrimental to his future search.

After twenty or thirty years, the children have grown up, and it is good for brothers to go hand in hand, but there must always be a person in charge, this person in charge, Meng Xueqing naturally hopes that it is Lu Xun. It's just that now it seems that Lu Yi's chances of winning are greater, so he needs the efforts of his own mother and Xiangyun's aunt.

Even so, Meng Xueqing is still virtuous and capable, and let Lu Bing appoint Duan Qingfeng fairly and objectively, all out of consideration for the development of the Lu family and her strong love for Lu Bing.

There are many people who are popular, and Houmen is as deep as the sea, and today's Lu Bingshan Shandong foundation is stable and solid, and it is incomparable with the Shen family's century-old business sea, but it is also unique and unique, and has become a very important part of Daming business. As for the officialdom, Lu Bing came back to life and turned over, it can be expected that even if Lu Bing can't prosper in official luck, it will naturally not be much worse, and Lu Bing, who has experienced ups and downs several times, has already seen it bearish and sublimated.

It's just that the Lu family is no longer the simple Lu family. (To be continued......)
