In the middle of the night, Lu Ren's room was still lit, and just now the old housekeeper said that it was not a lie to meet Lu Zhi passing by, and at this time Lu Zhi finally walked into Lu Ren's room in a daze.

"Big brother, why do you have to say it so late? Won't it work tomorrow morning? Lu Zhi couldn't help but yawn as he spoke.

Lu Ren put down the file in his hand and rubbed his sour eyes, "The fourth brother is here, sit, didn't the eldest brother take over the city lord's errand, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"Oh? Implemented so quickly? Sure enough, there are people in the DPRK who are good officials! Lu Zhi was interested, "What are you responsible for?" ”

"Catch the murderer!" Lu Ren seemed to be very satisfied with the errand, and when he spoke, his tone was solemn and serious.

Lu Zhi didn't think so, "The city lord has a good calculation, this kind of offending thing pushes our Lu family, he saves a lot of trouble, that is, bullying the eldest brother is honest, if this is me, I will never do it, this job is typical thankless." ”

"I see." Lu Ren scratched his face, "I didn't agree on the spot, and the city lord's uncle didn't force me, handed me some files, and asked me to come back and think about it first, saying when it was decided and when I would take office again." ”

Lu Zhi glanced at the furnishings in Lu Ren's room, a long desk, which was full of unfolded and half-unfolded files, and the rest of the room was a little dim, only the desk was quite bright by two half-burned candles.

"Now that the eldest brother has decided, let's do it."

"How does the fourth one know?"

Lu Zhi shook his head, in fact, Lu Ren has a generous personality and his mind is not very flexible, this job is really not suitable for him, "Didn't the eldest brother say that he wanted me to help?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, let's get down to business first......" Lu Ren explained with great difficulty, and Lu Zhi understood, "Does the eldest brother feel that he is not majestic enough to deter the murderers?" ”

"yes, that's what it means."

"That's a problem, indeed." Lu Ren is an ordinary person who is not outstanding in all aspects, and his face is relatively popular, even if he has a straight face, he does not have that iron-faced and selfless feeling, "Big brother wants that kind of ...... The effect of not being angry and self-threatening? ”

Lu Ren nodded violently, when he was in the capital before, he was fortunate to see the chief official of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, it was really a model of not being angry and arrogant, even those who did not break the law would be afraid when they saw it, and they were born to catch thieves.

Lu Zhi was a little worried, wanting to make an ordinary person look fierce, and it was natural to be fierce, "Big brother, there is no disguise technique in the ancestral inheritance, I can do the mask, but unfortunately it is useless." ”

"Hey, where do you want to go, I just want you to help me see." Suddenly, Lu Ren's eyes widened violently, bared his teeth, and pretended to be angry.

Lu Zhi was really frightened, not joking at all, in the middle of the night, the candlelight was dim, and it was really a little infiltrating to see such a distorted face, "Big brother, I suggest you practice more in front of the mirror first, and then use it when you are done." ”

Lu Ren returned to normal and pinched his chin, which was a little uncomfortable, "Can't you?" I've been practicing for a few days, but it doesn't work, isn't my brother a little stupid? ”

Lu Zhi didn't dare to hesitate, and waved his hand again and again, "Of course not, the eldest brother just doesn't get angry." ”

Lu Ren knows his own family affairs, and his personality is naturally like this, let alone with his family, even with outsiders, he has never blushed, and the emoticon of anger has not been unlocked at all.

Lu Zhi thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered when he first came in, "What case did the eldest brother see just now?" ”

At the mention of this, Lu Ren's brows furrowed slightly, his eyelids raised, his eyes bulged slightly, and his teeth clenched, "It's not those second ancestors yet......"

"Hey, don't say it, this expression is right, big brother just need to remember that when you need to 'get angry' in the future, you will think about this case, and bringing in feelings is the only rule of playing."

Lu Ren breathed a few sighs of relief, and then suppressed his churning heart, he was a simple person, he couldn't see anyone being bullied, or he wouldn't have chosen to engage in this profession so firmly, "Remember, in this way, I will be able to take over after the New Year." ”

Lu Zhi squinted his eyes, thinking of Zhao Xiong, who led people to "surround" the Lu family, "Hurry up or not late, let's go early tomorrow morning." ”

"What's the hurry? It's almost the New Year, and the eldest brother will be very busy in the future, and there will be fewer opportunities to celebrate the New Year together. ”

"Then go and change a batch of files, and I'll go when the time comes, maybe I can watch a lively show."

"What's the excitement?"

"Big brother just go."

"It's okay, I'll take you to see where the eldest brother will work in the future."

…………

Early the next morning, Lu Jian left home early, seriously lacking sleep, so he walked with a dark circle under his eyes, the address of the blacksmith shop was chosen, and the land was easily won, and the rest was to build, which was the most important thing for the Lu family in the next three years, he had to keep an eye on it personally, otherwise he would not worry.

The Lu family's blacksmith shop was selected opposite the Zhao family's blacksmith shop, I really didn't mean to anger the Zhao family, it was really a good geographical condition here, there was a small stream, which was the most suitable for blacksmith work, and Lu Jian personally supervised the work, ready to open after the New Year.

At the same time, Qian Laohan's father and daughter came to the door of Zhao's house with a sad face, Qian Xiaomei was dressed in red clothes, which was auspicious and festive, which was prepared by Qian Laohan's dead mother-in-law for Qian Xiaomei, but the family couldn't open the pot, and Qian Laohan didn't think about taking it out and pawning it.

"Daughter, it's my father who is sorry for you!" Qian Laohan reluctantly put a piece of red cloth on Qian Xiaomei's head, Qian Xiaomei didn't say a word, a few tears slipped from the red cloth, and fell on Qian Laohan's wrinkled thin old hand.

"Alas, today the Qian family is married, please open the door." Qian Laohan stepped forward to discuss with the concierge of the Zhao family, but he didn't dare to count on the main gate, and only hoped to open a corner door.

The porter's face was not good, "Go and go, the Zhao family doesn't accept concubines, and they haven't accepted them in the past three months." "Zhao Gongzi is injured like that, he can't do anything, what kind of concubine do you accept?

When the father and daughter heard this, they hugged their heads and cried, and the door sneered, "Crying? It's useless to cry, your daughter can't enter the door of our Zhao family today, she is stinky and poor, and she will not have a happy life. ”

Qian Laohan's father and daughter are not the same kind of people as this porter, they are crying with joy, where do they dare to continue to stay when they encounter such a great good thing, and quickly help each other to leave.

At the same time, the Lu Zhi brothers entered the yamen under the City Lord's Mansion one step ahead of Zhao Xiong, which was the place where Lu Ren would work in the future, and he was the new person in charge.

Lu Zhi smiled, and saw Zhao Xiong walking towards the yamen from afar, and hurriedly said a few words in Lu Ren's ear, Lu Ren nodded, walked over to Zhao Xiong with the dossier, and said with a simple face, "In the future, I will be responsible for this place, and if you want to file a complaint, write a pleading." ”

Lu Zhi's face was strange, and he didn't know if the eldest brother did it on purpose, and then looked at Zhao Xiong's constipation-like face, as well as the corners of his mouth that shook wildly, he felt that the sleep time he sacrificed was completely worth it, it was really worth the trip!
