209 The king is wise

Shen Lang is the first Lu Li in the capital, and he is kind to Lu Li.

This time, Shen Lang was promoted, and Lu Li naturally came to congratulate him in person, but as a family member, Lu Zhi also had to express it.

Although the imperial court is cracking down, the gifts that should be given are still to be given.

It's just that this gift is not easy to choose, it is not good to be light, and it cannot express your heart; It's not good if it's heavy, it's too eye-catching.

It's better to have something that is obviously valuable, but not criticized.

Lu Zhisi thought about it and called the monkey, "Didn't the Wen family raid the house, and the house was returned to the public, right?" ”

"Yes, it's a return to the public." As soon as he said this, the leather monkey actually laughed out loud.

"It's interesting to say, the court doesn't know what to think, and even wants to sell the house, the price is getting lower and lower, but unfortunately no one takes over."

"Sell at a low price?" Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, "That's good, you look at it, buy it at the right price." ”

"Fourth son, the house of the criminal official, what do you want it to do?" The leather monkey fanned his nose with his hand, "What a bad luck!" ”

Don't look at Wen Shilang, who nominally left with a beggar skeleton, and even had a black-armored guard escort, but the inside story has long been spread in the streets.

Now the Wen family is not only notorious, but even the house is regarded as an ominous place.

The people of Dayue are still very superstitious, the Wen family has fallen, and they all say that the feng shui of the house is not good, of course, there are more people who criticize the ancestral tomb of the Wen family.

When the Wen family was prosperous, it was said that the Wen family was the ancestral tomb with green smoke, but now, the rhetoric has changed.

I don't know what this descendant can have to do with his ancestors?

Can their ancestors still lift the coffin and jump out of the grave to teach these descendants to do bad things?

It's a ridiculous thing.

"It's all people's problems, the character is too bad, the heart is too dark, what does it have to do with the house?"

Lu Zhi is a progressive young man, how can he care about this, "The house has become the one who has the blame in the end, it's simple." ”

The leather monkey shook his head, "Fourth son, I think there is something wrong with what you said, there is indeed a problem with the house, I heard that the previous owners of the house are not in a good situation." ”

As soon as he heard it, it was the rumors of the people, and the rumors stopped at the wise man, Lu Zhi considered himself a wise man, trying to persuade the leather monkey from another angle.

"I heard that the Wen family's house is good, the place is big, the decoration is good, but it is magnificent, and the most important thing is that it is cheap, why not buy it?"

The leather monkey was a little anxious, "Fourth son, that house is really bad, it's really unlucky, it's cheap, it's really cheap, but it can't be ......."

"Childe, don't you always educate us, take advantage of small advantages and suffer big losses, why did you get to yourself, you still don't understand?"

Lu Zhi was speechless, so he could only nod helplessly, "Okay, okay, what you said is right, bad luck, okay?" ”

The leather monkey waved his hand again and again, he had already heard the impatience in Lu Zhi's tone, and finally realized that he was a little presumptuous.

Okay, I also know the proportion, Lu Zhi saw that the monkey had repentance, so he didn't care about his 'following crimes', "By the way, the people feel unlucky, what about the officials in the DPRK and China?" Doesn't anyone want to get started? ”

The leather monkey shook his head, "No." ”

Lu Zhi pursed his lips, "Usually they are chattering one by one, silent, and confused, but in the end, they are worse than ordinary people." ”

Listening to Lu Zhi's complaints, the leather monkey spread his hands, "Fourth son, officials used to be common people, how much difference can there be?" Besides, I'm not afraid of being caught! ”

"Fourth prince, what do you think, now that the imperial court is cracking down, there is news everywhere that corrupt officials have been brought to justice, and you adults are not allowed to cover your pockets to death, who will make up at this time?"

"That's right, you're like this, you still have to keep an eye on it, and buy it at the right price."

The Wen family's house is at least half discounted, which is still a conservative estimate, and it is simply a jump price.

"The fourth son~~~" the leather monkey muttered, not daring to speak out.

The skin monkey was really unwilling, he felt that he was thinking about the fourth prince and the entire Lu family...... It's just that when facing Lu Zhi, he is not tough enough.

Lu Zhi waved his hand, "If you want to buy it, you will buy it, and I will give it away when the time comes, and I won't live by myself." ”

"Ah, give it away? That's fine. The leather monkey smiled, thinking in his heart, "I don't know which one was unlucky enough to provoke my own son." ”

Childe did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to make such a play, this hatred, I'm afraid it's not small.

In the end, the Wen family's house was sold at a discount of ninety percent, and only one-tenth of its normal value was sold.

That's it, the officials in charge of this matter in the imperial court are all happy.

Naturally, the house was eventually auctioned by the leather monkey, saying that it was a bidding, but in fact there were no competitors at all.

…………

Palace.

"How? Is the threshold of the new waiter of the Ministry of Rites all about to be flattened by the guests who come to give gifts? ”

King Yue smiled, copied the homes of some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and greatly enriched the treasury, and he couldn't hide his smile these days.

"Back to the king, according to the report of the black armor guard, Shen Shilang closed the door to thank guests, and only a few people have entered."

"Who are they?" King Yue is still a little interested in this.

Wei Zhong took out a few pieces of paper, "There are scholars of Xie University, Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Xiushu of the Hanlin Academy, and the fourth brother of Lu Xiushu has also been there." ”

He flipped through the paper again, "As for the others, it's nothing, they are all some students of Shen Shilang, and most of them are in the same class as Lu Xiu. ”

King Yue was not surprised at all, "Well, they are all must-go, so to speak, the self-examination of various ministries is still effective, and Shen Shilang's new official took office, and he didn't give a big gift." ”

"There are still big gifts." The paper in Wei Zhong's hand was not simple, and there was also a record of what gifts he gave.

"Oh?" King Yue was a little surprised this time, and asked with concern, "What kind of gift?" Can you take it? ”

Wei Zhong took out a piece of paper from the paper, "I accepted it, it was given by Lu Xiu's fourth brother Lu Zhi, and it gave a whole mansion." ”

"The Lu family?" King Yue rubbed his hands, "Is the Lu family so rich?" ”

Wei Zhong smiled, "Your Majesty, it's not so much that the Lu family is rich, but that Lu Zhi is rich, and the younger generation of the Lu family has extremely strong means of making money." ”

"Lu Zhi, Lone knows." King Yue waved his hand, "Or go back to Shen Shilang, where is this mansion?" ”

"The mansion." Wei Zhong smiled, "Your Majesty, might as well guess?" ”

King Yue pointed at Wei Zhong, "You old dog, when did you learn to play dumb riddles?" ”

Wei Zhong smiled and hid the paper recording the situation behind him, "Let's guess, it's interesting." ”

"There are so many mansions in the capital, and you still have to be able to guess it...... King Yue's mind turned, "Could it be the Wen family's house?" ”

"The king is wise!" Wei Zhong bowed down and bowed, "The king is really a god and a man, and the old dog is obedient!" ”

King Yue laughed, "Get up, I didn't expect it to be the Wen family's house, that's really, it's interesting!" ”
