Aobai's status in the caravan soared, and when he left Taiyuan, he sat in the carriage with Lu Leyao and chatted, and no one objected.

Two days later, the caravan arrived in Xinzhou. On the way, a few sons and brothers received news to greet them, and they showed favor to Lu Leyao in various ways. Lu Leyao said a few polite words, and they were very happy.

Ao Bai rode a horse side by side with Guo Jun, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Lu is so popular in the city? ”

Guo Jun said with a smile: "The young lady is outstanding, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is the niece of the prefect, of course she is popular." But Mademoiselle has always disliked those talents. She thinks that a truly talented person should be able to create wealth like a master. ”

It turned out to be a girl with a bit of a father-love plot. Ao Bai smiled: "I also want to meet Master Lu as soon as possible." ”

Guo Jun said: "You are strong in martial arts, and you have two powerful senior brothers, even if you don't have an official position for the time being, the master will value you." ”

My two cheap senior brothers have lower official positions than mine, and you will definitely be shocked when you find out. Ao Bai thought to himself.

The Lu family's mansion is in the center of the city, and it is extremely luxurious. Brick by brick, as if they had just been repaired, they had been doing business with the Jurchens for many years, and they had already made a lot of money.

Ao Bai already knew that Jin Yiwei's undercover agent in the Lu family was a person named Li Bin, and his appearance was very inconspicuous. After entering the Lu house, he found Li Bin and instructed: "I'm going to reveal my identity in a while, you bring the Jinyi Guard in Xinzhou, and directly control the people who can't be trusted, don't be too loud, understand?" ”

Li Bin went to run errands. Ao Bai was waiting in the living room, thinking that the Lu family had such a big pomp and circumstance, why did they have to rinse their mouths with a few bowls of shark fin bird's nest first, but the next person served a cup of tea. After sitting for about an hour, a group of people entered the hall one after another.

The last person to enter the door was an old man with gray temples and early sixties, he sat on the main seat with the help of Lu Leyao on crutches, and Ao Bai guessed that this person was Lu Song. His legs and feet were very badly bent, not like a traumatic injury, but rheumatism and even necrosis of the femoral head. Although this disease is not terminal, it is very torturous and difficult to cure.

He, such a patient, opened his mouth with a voice like a bell, full of confidence, and said: "Everyone, this time Le Yao went out and brought back a person, saying that maybe he could help our Lu family, I summoned everyone here to let everyone evaluate it." ”

Is this an attempt to conduct an employee interview? Ao Bai thought it was funny, but there were more people in the Lu family than he imagined, and there were many young people, presumably those "relatives".

Lu Song ordered someone to light a stick of incense and said to Aobai: "You have a pillar of incense time, tell me what you are capable of, if you can prove that you are indeed capable, impress us people." I will consider Le Yao's words, let you enter the Lu family, and reuse you. If you can't, then leave today. ”

So many people were called, and as soon as they came up, they wanted to suppress me with their momentum? Even if you used to be a golden right foot when you were younger, you can't do it. Ao Bai laughed and said: "I met Miss Lu Pingshui, but we are ordinary friends, she invited me here as a guest, but you came out like this." Do I look like the kind of person who would bend over five buckets of rice? If I come out of this today, you won't regret it. ”

Lu Song never thought that the other party would reply to him like this, and said angrily: "How daring, no one dares to talk to me like this in Xinzhou, I just need an order, do you think you can get out of this door?" ”

An old man pointed at Ao Bai and shouted, "It's crazy, big brother, find someone to teach this kid a lesson." ”

"yes, break your leg and throw it out." A big white fat man shouted.

Lu Leyao shook Lu Song's arm, frowned, and said, "Dad......"

Ao Bai stood up, slowly paced to the center of the living room with his hands behind his back, secretly tied the internal seal, looked around, and as soon as everyone touched his fierce eyes, they couldn't help but calm down. "Break my leg? The idea is good, but it's a pity that you can't do it, I'm just bare-handed, and it's not something that people here can deal with, not to mention that I'm not alone. ”

The room was quieter, Lu Song's face was ugly, he had seen many people, but he had never seen such a strong one, he didn't understand what Ao Bai relied on.

Ao Bai Zhengse said: "Master Lu, you should have heard about my two senior brothers, saying these words, it is nothing more than to take the initiative when talking to me, suppress me, and give some benefits when it is over, right?" But why should I look at your face? ”

Lu Song took a deep breath and said, "What a big breath, you have no power or power, and even those two senior brothers can't take care of the affairs of Xinzhou." On this one-third of an acre of land, but our Lu family is in charge, you don't have the king's law, and you can't be an enemy of the government? ”

He thought that if he brought Lu Feng, the prefect of Xinzhou, out, he should be able to suppress people.

Ao Bai walked over to Lu Song, put his hand into his arms, and said with a smile: "There is no king's law, and the government is the enemy?" It seems that the Lu family regards themselves as the emperor of the soil. ”

Lu Song saw him walking towards him, and there was a hint of timidity in his eyes. Lu Leyao said hurriedly: "Huang An, what do you want to do?" ”

Ao Bai took out his brocade guard gold medal and said, "Don't scream, I'm just showing you something." ”

He took the gold medal and lit up in front of Lu Song, and said with a smile: "I am the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Xuanwu, and I was personally ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Jin merchants collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country in Zhangjiakou. Once verified, it can be cut first and then played. ”

"Are you...... Big...... Adults ......" Lu Song collapsed on the seat in fright, and beads of sweat fell from his head.

Lu Leyao was stunned, she always felt that Ao Bai was not ordinary, but she didn't expect it to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

The others were also shocked and didn't dare to gasp. They all knew what it meant to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Not to mention these businessmen, even Lu Feng, the prefect, can't afford to mess with them. The other party was ordered by the emperor, and he could destroy the Lu family with one order. They knew that trading with the Jurchens was risky, but they didn't expect the trouble to come so quickly.

Ao Bai put away the token, sat back in his seat, looked at the pillar of incense, and smiled: "If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." When I was in Taiyuan, I had already made comprehensive arrangements, and Jinyiwei had already arrived in Xinzhou. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a pillar of incense to explain to me why you want to trade with the Jurchens. With your strength, don't try to resist, I just need to give an order, and I can copy the Lu family today, including the prefect. ”

The fat man who said just now that he had broken Aobai's leg immediately knelt down and shouted, "My lord, I'm just Lu Song's nephew, I'm here to help, and I don't know anything about Zhangjiakou." He tried hard to squeeze a few tears out, but unfortunately failed.

Ao Bai smiled: "There is not much time. I will consider what you have said. ”

Lu Leyao was stupid, squatted on the ground and cried.

Lu Song was speechless, and his daughter brought back a bad star. The senior brother is the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan and the ** boss of Taiyuan, how can such a person be an unknown person? I'm afraid that it has been planned a long time ago, if the imperial court decides to run the Lu family, how can it be possible to survive? The poor daughter is unmarried and unmarried, and she will be implicated. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ao Bai saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart, no wonder the right would make so many people crazy about it. It's so cool to have rights. Just now, this old man with weak legs and feet was still showing off his might in front of him. As soon as he saw that the other party couldn't be provoked, he immediately changed from a snake on the ground to a poor old man waiting for death. He suspected that as long as he said a few more words, he might scare Lu Song out of the heart attack.

Several people in the Lu family rushed to explain that they had nothing to do with Zhangjiakou, and they were kept in the dark. Some people also exposed the evil deeds of the Lu family and expressed their willingness to surrender. There are also some people who are silent, and it seems that they want to advance and retreat together.

After a stick of incense was burned, Ao Bai saw that it was almost over, stood up, waved his hand to Li Bin outside the door, and said, "Come in." ”

More than two dozen brocade guards with embroidered spring knives strode into the house, and Liu Hong, Li Xin and others were also among them. Li Xindao: "Lord Huang, please give an order." ”

Ao Bai still lacks experience in doing this kind of thing, and he said before that he only brought five people, but if there are really only five people, it will definitely not be enough. He pointed to a few people who were in a hurry to confess just now, and said, "These people just said that they have nothing to do with the Lu family's business, they are all forced...... Guys, right? ”

The white and tender fat man took the lead and shouted: "My lord, I was really forced, I just want to work hard, who knew that there was such a thing in Zhangjiakou." ”

"Well, I trust you." Ao Bai smiled: "Take them away and lock them up, prepare to fall lightly, if you resist, kill!" ”

Nine people were taken away, and there were still twelve left, including Lu Leyao. She stared at Ao Bai viciously, and her eyes seemed to say, "I won't let you go."

"Okay, the people who have nothing to do with the Lu family have left. Next, I'm going to say something important that no one can hear. Don't be afraid, I'm not going to raid your house, I'm just trying to do it. If you do it, the eight Jin merchants will be startled, and they are the ones the court will deal with. In fact, before I arrived in Shanxi, I had already ordered someone to investigate in detail, and Lu Feng was a good official in Xinzhou. The Lu family traded with the Tartars, and they also followed suit after seeing the practices of the eight Jin merchants. Old Man Lu died of two sons, and he was suffering from a stubborn illness, which was quite pitiful. The reason why I hid my identity and contacted the caravan is to give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, and if you do a good job, not only will you not die, but you will also have benefits in the future. Think about it, if the eight Jin merchants are gone, you are on the side of the imperial court, and the emperor wants you to be the master in Shanxi, isn't it just a matter of one sentence? Would you like to cooperate? Oh, by the way, you don't have a choice, I don't need to say more about the consequences of refusal, right? ”

Seeing a glimmer of life, how could the Lu family let it go? Lu Song stood up with Lu Leyao's support and pleaded, "My lord, we are willing to cooperate......

Ao Bai quickly took control of the Lu family and eliminated the weak-willed people, and it only took a stick of incense.
