The warriors of the three families immediately shouted in a panic.

But in front of Li Yan, no one dared to resist, and the three leaders were arrested, and begged bitterly: "Deputy Commander Li, please forgive us for the sake of our loss of family property?" We don't dare anymore! ”

The head of the Li family in Beishan was a pale-faced and white-haired old man, and he said with tears: "Deputy Commander Li, there are thirteen members of my Li family, all counting on a few of us middle-aged men to earn rations, and if they arrest us, they will starve to death!" ”

Li Yan's face was indifferent and indifferent, but he quietly glanced in the direction of Lu Qingchen with his residual vision.

The three leaders understood that Li Yan was asking them to ask Lu Qingchen.

After all, he has an official position, and he can only do business in public.

But if Lu Qingchen is willing to let go and spare their lives, Li Yan can let them go on the grounds that "there are favors outside the law".

At this moment, they no longer dare to think about the lost family property, and they just want to escape the current catastrophe.

They all begged Lu Qingchen for mercy.

Lu Qingchen was silent for a long time, but his demeanor was very resolute, and he said slowly: "There are rules in the world, and it is difficult for me to forgive you for breaking the laws of the principality." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three family leaders turned pale.

Especially the Li family in Beishan, his family now lives in a cave on the outskirts of the city, and they don't have a penny, if all of them who came out to make trouble are arrested, those old people and children will starve to death!

"But ......" Lu Qingchen's tone suddenly changed: "Forgive me for being a victim of the Dark Mansion, there are extenuating circumstances, you don't have to go to prison, as an alternative punishment, you all have to sign a one-year master-servant contract with the Lu Mansion, and within a year, you will be the servants of the Lu Mansion!" ”

Servant! The leaders of the three families were silent, and they were reduced from high-ranking family and gang leaders to servants, and they couldn't accept it for a while.

"Your mission is to help the Lu Mansion manage the properties of the Xiahe Cao Gang, the Zhao Mansion in the south of the city, and the Li family in Beishan, and at the same time, your relatives can follow you to live in your original mansion temporarily."

Hearing this, a ray of joy appeared in the eyebrows of the three family leaders.

In other words, not only will they be able to return to their families and take charge of their own estate, but they will also be able to return to a prosperous life for their relatives.

"However, the property rights of the property belong to my Lu Mansion, and you must ask the Lu Mansion for the transfer of a copper plate and a piece of goods, and you must not embezzle any money without authorization, otherwise, you will be expelled from your whole clan and punished according to the law!"

In other words, the three of them have become vassal families and gangs of the Lu Mansion, and now they are just taking care of the property for the Lu Mansion.

And the Lu Mansion only provided them with basic living and cultivation needs.

The leaders of the three families hesitated for a long time and agreed.

This is already the best outcome compared to having nothing now.

"Then follow me into the house and sign the master-servant contract." Lu Qingchen said.

The contradiction was satisfactorily resolved.

Li Yan accompanied Lu Qingchen back home, his face full of appreciation.

Compared with his son Li Zheng, the much younger Lu Qingchen is more sophisticated and shrewd.

He exclaimed: "A good move to use both grace and power, Lu Gongzi's skills are excellent, whether he enters the Martial Mansion or the Wenfu in the future, he is the talent of the ruling party." ”

Lu Qingchen first asked Li Yan to come forward to dispel their ambition to ask for the family property, and then forced the three families to a desperate situation.

Subsequently, he stood up and offered a favor, which was enough to make the three families grateful and gladly accept the conditions of becoming servants.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he proposed a compromise solution, and all he would get would be their inch.

"But Master Lu, you are still too merciful, the family property is lost by themselves, why bother whether they live or die?" Li Yan said again, if it were him, he would not let them return to their original mansion and property at all.

Lu Qingchen hired them as servants, and also let their relatives come back, which can be said to have saved dozens of people and made them worry about food and clothing.

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Qingchen said, "It's not that I'm merciful. ”

Their family property was lost to the Dark Mansion, but they never dared to ask the Dark Mansion for it.

I heard that the Lu Mansion had won back their share of the family property, but they came to the door to make trouble and ask for it.

What is the reason?

Bully the soft and fear the hard!

The dark mansion is not easy to mess with, but the Lu mansion is easy to mess with!

If they dare to ask for it from the dark mansion, for the sake of their courage and persistence, Lu Qingchen may consider returning the family property to them.

But the people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard really make Lu Qingchen unable to find a reason to be merciful.

"I recruited them to manage the original family property with their own considerations, first, the Lu Mansion has just risen, and there is no ability to control three times the industry at the same time, whether it is the division of labor in the industry, talents, energy, etc., they are not competent, and the result of forcible control will only make the three industries in hand chaotic, and eventually collapse in depression! Rather than this, it is better to let the three original people and horses manage, let them maintain the operation of the industry, and strive for the maximum profit for our Lu Mansion. ”

"Second, the limelight in Lufu is too strong, and the people who are secretly red-eyed don't know how much! The so-called wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the pile will be turbulent above the shore current! If someone with a heart takes advantage of the topic and says that the Lu government is rich and unkind, colluding with the forbidden army to oppress the victim family, how should the Lu government explain? ”

"Therefore, turning the three families into vassal families and gangs of the Lu Mansion is far better than annexing them, our Lu Mansion has great benefits, and the three families are better than being displaced now, it can be said that killing two birds with one stone."

Li Yan was secretly surprised, except for the second one who did not dare to agree, the first one he was really surprised by Lu Qingchen's composure and wisdom.

It's hard to imagine that he was just a seventeen-year-old boy.

His son is twenty years old, his head is full of wine and women, compared to Lu Qingchen, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

"Lu Gongzi Zhizhu is in his hands, which is really admirable." Li Yan said in a complicated mood, why can't he give birth to such a son?

Lu Cangliu is really lucky!

In the mansion.

Looking at the people of the three families coming and going, signing a contract with the Lu Mansion, Lu Guyan had mixed feelings.

He never dreamed that the day when Lu Fu became a second-rate force would come so quickly and so suddenly!

According to the original plan, it was to wait until Lu Jian grew up and obtained an important position in the forbidden army.

But now?

Master three families and gangs equal to Lu Mansion, and be promoted directly!

It is believed that soon, the person in charge of the prefecture will come to the door to conduct an overall assessment of the current Lu Mansion and confirm that the Lu Mansion has been promoted to a second-rate family.

It's just that he and Lu Qilin can only stand outside the crowd, looking lonely, looking out of place with the festive Lu Mansion.

The prosperity of the Lu Mansion has nothing to do with them.

"Grandpa, second uncle." Lu Qingchen noticed them and walked over after thinking about it.

The two of them immediately stood up, their expressions hinting at respect.

The Lu Mansion can have today, it all depends on Lu Qingchen, he is the real core of the Lu Mansion.

"Qingchen, why don't you help your father?" Lu Guyan faced him, and he still had an indescribable apology.

Lu Qilin was even more so, and smiled stiffly: "Nephew, go and help your father, don't worry about us." ”

Lu Qingchen said: "I'm afraid my father can't be busy alone, so I also ask my grandfather and second uncle to help." ”

Both of them were stunned, let them help? Does the Lu Mansion still need them today?

Lu Qingchen's tone softened, and he said angrily: "The past is all in the past, in the future, the Lu Mansion will be a second-rate family, and my father can't manage it alone, and I am not often at home, I hope that my grandfather and second uncle will do their best to help my father take care of the Lu Mansion, so that the Lu Mansion can flourish and get better and better." ”

Lu Guyan's eyes blinked, and the shame in his heart deepened, he treated their father and son like that, and Lu Qingchen still chose to forgive.

Compared with his heart, his grandfather is really not like words.

Lu Qilin lowered his head even more ashamedly: "Nephew, uncle was confused before and made so many mistakes, are you still willing to forgive me?" ”

Lu Qingchen said: "Everyone makes mistakes, the important thing is to know that mistakes can be corrected, and the second uncle can manage the Lu Mansion with peace of mind." ”

The two of them were moved in their hearts, regretting their past actions, and eager to give themselves a few slaps.

They looked at Lu Cangliu, who was busy, and said worriedly: "Then what does your father mean ......?"

Lu Qingchen forgave them, did Lu Cangliu also forgive?

Lu Qingchen didn't ask his father what he meant, but he knew that his father must want to see family unity more than him.

"That's what my father meant, too."

The last piece of mustard in the hearts of the two dissipated, and they walked towards Lu Cangliu with a little embarrassment.

Lu Cangliu was slightly stunned, looked at his son standing under the tree in the distance, smiled, looked at the two, and said with a smile: "Father, second brother, come and help me." ”

The three of them had all the mustard in their hearts.

Lu Qilin's eyes were misty, and he felt the family affection with his eldest brother for the first time.

Only with such family affection will he choose to forgive him for his past experiences.

He was moved in his heart, secretly clenched his fists, and swore in his heart that from now on, he would change his mind and be a new man, and never let his eldest brother down again.

Lu Guyan was in tears, and only after losing could he understand the value of family reunion.

This home, he must maintain it well and never let it fall apart again.

The three of them glanced at each other and looked at Lu Qingchen together.

It was he who had today's chances.

But under the quiet tree, Lu Qingchen's indifferent figure was no longer visible.

Only the shadow is sparse, swaying with the wind.

Lu Qingchen came to the City Lord's Mansion, and according to the agreement, it was the day when he entered the Fire Tower with Nangong Die and Nalan Ruoshui to practice penance for two months.

"Brother Qingchen, how powerful do you think of my move?" Nangong Die was practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, and Nalan Ruoshui was guiding from the side.

She used the yellow-level mid-grade martial art "Thousand Hands Phantom Cloud Finger", which she used to perform during the Fengyun meeting.

Compared to the last time, her martial arts skills are more proficient and refined, and she has mastered the three forms.

Cultivation has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

From the original Xiaochen Baming, it has become today's Zhongchen stack.

The same move is played several times more powerful.

However, in Lu Qingchen's eyes, it was not enough.

"Not bad." Lu Qingchen said.

Nangong Die was satisfied, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingchen, you have to be kind to me from now on, I am not what I used to be." ”

She mistakenly thought that Lu Qingchen was still in Xiaochen's Eight Ming Cultivation, but his body was very powerful.

Hearing her joke like this, Nalan Ruoshui on the side laughed and said nothing.
