The reason why Lu Bing chose Dengzhou was because of Qi Jingtong, Qi Jingtong's mother was not in good health recently, and Qi Jingtong was unable to visit him as an official in the capital. When he was transferred to assist Lu Bing before, Qi Jingtong was full of confidence and ambition, thinking that after galloping with Lu Bing, he would be able to take his mother into Beijing.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bing and Zhu Houxi fell out, causing their families to not be allowed to leave their hometowns, lest these generals with troops make trouble privately, so that the generals and their families can be separated from each other, which is more convenient to control, and there are some hostages. Qi Jingtong was previously the chief military officer of the Beiwei Army near Dengzhou, but now that he has entered Beijing, he has no care at home.

Qi Jingtong was very anxious at this order, and secretly scolded the court in his heart for ordering indiscriminately without investigating the facts, the original house in Dengzhou's hometown had already been a little dilapidated, and the Ming officials were already very few, and if they were not corrupt, they would only be enough for life, although Qi Jingtong was flexible, he never deducted military salaries and defrauded the people, so the family was really a little hard. If you can't take care of yourself like this, you can let your mother and wife be good. But the king's fate is difficult to do, and Qi Jingtong can only act according to the rules.

Lu Bing and Qi Jingtong were good friends, so when he left Beijing this time, Qi Jingtong, who was in the Shenji Camp, specially went to Lu Mansion to explain to Lu Bing. They are all brothers who were born and died, so naturally they don't have so many words of thanks, and although Qi Jingtong and Lu Bing are also full of poetry and books, they are both martial arts and have a straightforward temperament, and their mother-in-law didn't say a few words, even if the TOEFL family is small.

Lu Bing wanted to settle in Shandong before, and Qi Jingtong entrusted him like this. So Lu Bing came to Dengzhou. This is not the first time Lu Bing has come to Dengzhou, the last time he captured and prosecuted Liu Zhengang, the deputy chief soldier of the Japanese army, he also did what he did in Dengzhou, but this time he was light and simple. Even if the people knew that their surname was Lu, they would not have thought that it was Lord Qincha Lu back then. I didn't show up much back then, and besides, people have been gone for many years, and the people don't remember their appearance.

Lu Bing turned over from the horse, stretched his waist and said to himself: "It is estimated that Brother Yang Shen should go to Hunan at this time." ”

Lu Yi jumped down from the carriage and said to Lu Bing: "Daddy, Yang Boji people have their own natural appearance. Daddy doesn't have to worry, but now I can ride a horse, right? ”

Lu Bing laughed, although Lu Yi is a child of Jiang Bin's species. And he is not a son-in-law, so he is not as good as his brother in terms of care since he was a child, and then he experienced a family change and became a slave, both culturally and physically. But this child has been exposed to it for so long. But it made Lu Bing like it more and more. is not only smart, well-behaved and sensible, but also brave and quite manly. Some time ago, I followed Yang Shen to learn poetry and write, and I was called a prodigy by Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen's father and son.

Lu Yi loves to play with the knife used by the family for self-defense, and once accidentally cut his hand, he didn't cry or make a fuss, he just let people bandage it simply, and play how he wanted. is very honest, that is, Lu Bing cares about children. I quickly noticed the matter, otherwise no one would have found out.

Lu Bing smiled and said that when he taught him the sword technique a few days later, the child's eyes were bright, which made Lu Bing particularly satisfied, only those who are good at martial arts can learn martial arts, otherwise if they lose interest, even if they are martial arts wizards, it will be difficult to become a great weapon unless they are persecuted. Every time he approached a place where the roads in the town were stable, Lu Yi would beg Lu Bing to teach him to ride a horse, and now he began to beg again. Looking at Lu Yi's pink little face that he had recently recuperated, cute and innocent, Lu Bing couldn't help but love this child in his heart.

Lu Bing helped Lu Xun get on the horse, and at this time, Meng Xueqing pushed Lu Xun and said, "Master, take Xun'er and ride it together, right?" Since leaving Beijing, Lu Bing has set up his own door, his family and his subordinates, as well as Jiang Bin's family, have to call Lu Bing Master, Lu Bing was quite uncomfortable at first, but over time he got used to it.

After reading Lu Yi, Lu Bing saw Lu Xun's timid expression again, Lu Bing could only keep comforting himself, the child may be young so he will be afraid, or because Lu Yi has experienced so many hardships when he was a child, he has matured, and Lu Xun is not very good because he is pampered, and it may be better in time.

Lu Bing looked at his beloved woman Meng Xueqing after the most reluctance, and then held back a little unhappiness in his heart and hugged Lu Xun, even if he hated his first biological flesh and blood, but he was his own son after all.

But Lu Bing stretched out his hand and just picked up Lu Xun in the car, Lu Xun's mouth was flattened and he opened his mouth and cried, Lu Bing's brows furrowed, and he scolded in a low voice: "Damn, what are you crying about, I'm your son." is so timid, is it my Lu family's species. After speaking, he threw the child back into the car, Yang Feiyan reached out to catch the child, pulled and dragged the momentum, hugged the child steadily and then scolded: "What kind of nerves, crazy, what should I do if I break the child!" ”

When Lu Bing heard Yang Feiyan's words, he couldn't help but stare at Yang Feiyan, Yang Feiyan didn't eat this, he looked up at Lu Bing and said, "Who are you scaring about, so fierce, why do you still want to beat me?" Yang Feiyan straightened her stomach as she spoke, and Lu Bing suddenly smiled and said, "You know that I don't beat women, let alone my own women, so you can be angry with me." ”

After Lu Bing finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xun, who shrank back into Meng Xueqing's arms, and then said: "The child has the nature of a child, I will not force him to become the second Lu Bing, he has his life path, even if he wants to do something I don't like, I will not stop it, as long as it does not violate the principles and morality of heaven, I Lu Bing will not care, pure sheep education." But again, don't force me, I can choose not to like this child. "Lu Bing is saying it to everyone, and it is also for himself.

At this time, Lu Yi walked back to the car, looked at Lu Bing timidly, then looked at Meng Xueqing and Yang Feiyan and said: "Daddy, don't be angry, don't be angry with Sanniang, it's Yi'er's fault, Yi'er doesn't ride a horse anymore." ”

Lu Bingxi raised his eyebrows, this child is too good at trouble, and Meng Xueqing also smiled: "Aunt Yi'er and Sanniang are not angry, you should go horseback riding with your father." Although Meng Xueqing was laughing, it was ridiculous and a little reluctant, Lu Bing's words just now made him a little uncomfortable, and it was enough to laugh at this time.

Lu Yi looked at Lu Bing, Lu Bing touched Lu Yi's head and said, "What are you waiting for." Good son, get on your own horse. ”

"Okay." Lu Yi is a child after all, and he has some fun when he hears it. He forgot what had just happened and ran away happily.

"Looks like you really like this kid." Meng Xueqing touched Lu Xun's head and said, Lu Bing nodded and said: "Although it is not my own flesh and blood, but I and this child hit it off at first sight, and now being able to become a father and son can be regarded as a fate given by God, which should be cherished." It is also worth cherishing. ”

"Although there is no difference between wives and concubines in our family, but after all, we must find a mother for this child, you have a wife and two concubines. Who do you want to take later? Meng Xueqing asked.

Lu Bing looked at the carriage behind which the curtain was closed tightly and there was no sound in the carriage and said, "Feiyan is also about to give birth, although I don't know if it is a man or a woman, but it is the same for both boys and girls." You both have children. I want to let Xiaorui be Yi'er's mother. Do you think that's good? ”

"It's good, it's good, but, Xiaorui, she" Meng Xueqing stopped talking and looked at Yang Feiyan, Yang Feiyan was dissatisfied: "You two talk a lot, what can't be said in the family, it's really annoying, if I don't go down and walk around, I won't listen to what you two say." It's still very inconvenient, isn't there anything unsightly to say? ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I knew what was going on, and that's it. Lu Bing frowned slightly and said, then stretched out, turned over a horse, and came to Lu Yi, who had just climbed on the horse, and said, "Yi'er, let's gently beat the horse and pac forward, right?" ”

The two of them slowly walked forward, and Yang Feiyan came to Meng Xueqing's side and asked, "Sister, what did you and Lu Lang just say?" ”

"Sensei asked, the less people know about this matter, the better, it's not that you don't treat you as your own family, the family should be able to say anything, but I'm afraid that if you say this, it's not your own family. Lu Lang has a good saying, curiosity kills cats, is it possible that your Feiyan has more lives than cats? Still don't ask. Meng Xueqing hooked Yang Feiyan's nose with her hand and said.

—————————————————————————————————————

Lu Bing's money is not old or young, not to mention that all the money spent in the past few years is the money of the court and the Shen family, even if he does not use his own money to deal with his subordinates and subordinates, not to mention that the biggest expense is the gift money for honoring the officials, and the money for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling with his colleagues, which Lu Bing does not have. Thinking about it, Lu Bing was the emperor's descendant in the past, but no one dared to ask for gifts if he wanted to, and Lu Bing didn't like those days of drinking, so he didn't participate in such gatherings between colleagues.

Lu Bing's own money was basically untouched, and with the emperor's reward and the like, he saved a lot of savings. Moreover, at the beginning of the agreement between the Shen family and Lu Bing, there was a benefit of 200,000 taels per year, and Zhu Houxi had heard a little about this at first, but he didn't know the specific details, but at that time, he had a good trust in Lu Bing and thought that this was a natural reward, so he didn't care, and over time he forgot about this "big event".

The Shen family is in business, and the business pays attention to being honest and honest in what it says, and this money is given to Lu Bing, this kind of large amount of money is not safe to put at home, but Lu Bing made a decision to temporarily store it in the Shen family. For such a large amount of money, Lu Bing said that it was too simple for the Shen family to do tricks, there was no need to fool themselves like this, in the face of such a big event, it all relied on integrity, the Shen family is a famous businessman, and Lu Bing also trusts the Shen family, and it is far safer to put it in the Shen family than in his own hands, if he loses the right to something, he can go to the Shen family, and he can take as many accounts as he does on weekdays, so he didn't even open any vouchers.

The Shen family is also happy to have more money turnover, although they don't pay attention to 200,000 taels, but no matter how much money the businessman has, he doesn't feel like he is struggling, so he writes an account of 200,000 taels to Lu Bing every year, and sends someone to Lu Bing to say that if he needs a note, he can call immediately, and these are all brought on the person who sent the letter. As for the money, it can be withdrawn at any time, and now Lu Bing has resigned, but the account of 200,000 taels is still recorded in Lu Bing's account on time. That's integrity.

Lu Bing hadn't figured out how to use the money yet, and now the benefits given by the Shen family in the past few years alone can be worth the sum of the total money of the Ming officials for several years. Of course, this refers to the money that comes from normal income, without gray income and embezzlement.

This is a lot of money, Lu Bing doesn't use this money not only because he has his own previous reward, but Lu Bing didn't calculate it before, and he is actually a "big rat" after calculating it, and he can't help but sigh that corrupt officials sometimes don't know that they are corrupt officials.

Thinking of getting a confession from Liu Zhengang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shandong Beiwei Army, which actually implicated Yang Tinghe, Lu Bing also defended Yang Tinghe in front of Yang Feiyan, and now that he thinks about it, why not defend himself?

Lu Bing has been fighting in the east and west over the years, and when Japan is taxing, sometimes he will play with interesting things at will, sometimes he will help put them away when he falls on the table, and some things are kept because he likes them very much, which is a drop in the bucket for the total amount, but now he looks at it and there are as many as three or four boxes. This is not counting the small box of pearls and other things that the king of Ryukyu gave to Lu Bing alone, in short, it is also worth a lot of money in the inland of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that Lu Bing's officialdom in the south of the country, and the second wave of self-picketing and corruption should be an incomparably clean campaign, but the result is still that Lu Bing has made a lot of money. Some of the accounts that had not been clarified before were not put into storage, but as soon as Emperor Jiajing came back, he suppressed Lu Bing, and the money was always pressed in Lu Bing's team, and then moved into the Lu Mansion with Lu Bing's personal belongings in a daze.

Lu Bing often smiled bitterly in his heart, anti-corruption has become huge greed, I don't know if it is Zhu Houxi's compensation for himself or God's favor, this is because Zhu Houyu did not fall into the well and killed himself, otherwise it can be said that everyone has obtained all the stolen goods, and there is no argument.

Looking at those large boxes and small boxes of treasures, Lu Bing smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Tzu is not a loss." (To be continued......)
