Chapter 1080: The Lu Family's Great Shopkeeper
As soon as Lu Ren heard that Lu Weichuan lived in his general military mansion, he was poisoned, and his face immediately changed. There has never been anything like this before in the General Army's Mansion!
"Come on, arrest everyone in the kitchen and everyone who went in and out of the kitchen today!" Lu Ren was resolute, and he asked people to do it. It is not a trivial matter that a guest was poisoned in the General Soldier's Mansion.
"Cousin, why is Weichuan poisoned? Is it about kidnapping?"
Chu Xintian looked at Di Qing and asked. She always felt that she had spent most of the past two days with Zhao Wu, and she might not know about the things outside. Maybe Di Qing would know better than her.
Listening to Chu Xintian's question, Di Qing nodded.
After learning that Lu Weichuan was poisoned, he immediately thought of someone in his heart.
That's right. Di Qing was thinking of Li Yan, an official in Jinzhou.
Except for Li Yan, Di Qing couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to poison Lu Weichuan in Jinzhou.
When he came yesterday, Lu Weichuan mentioned to him a man named Li Yan, who was colluding with the leader of the wolf pack!
When Di Qing learned about this, he began to prepare how to convict Li Yan.
Yesterday, he asked Liu Yunlong and his friends he had met in Jinzhou to walk around and contact them to see who could talk to the people around Li Yan and find out about Li Yan's situation.
And he also went to the Lu family's Baicao Hall.
From there, Di Qing also knew. At that time, Lu Weichuan was kidnapped by the so-called bandits. Soon, the Lu family's shop received extortion from the kidnappers.
After hearing the news, the chief shopkeeper of the Lu family naturally reported to the government as soon as possible, came to the Jinzhou government, and explained the emergency to Li Yan.
Li Yan suggested that the big shopkeeper quickly redeem the silver ticket from the bandits to Lu Weichuan, which was Li Yan's idea.
Lu Weichuan is the eldest son of the Lu family. The big shopkeeper and the Lu family have a deep friendship. He couldn't just watch what happened to his young boss and not save him.
So the big shopkeeper held a meeting all night, gathered the shopkeepers of several shops, took out the money that the shopkeepers could use, and borrowed 2,000 taels from Dijia Huitong Bank.
About ten thousand taels.
The big shopkeeper of the Lu family is also a shrewd person in normal times. But the kidnapping of Shaodong's family also made him panic. The big shopkeeper accepted the silver money and handed it directly to Li Yan. He didn't think much of it. He just hoped that Li Yan could try his best to save the young owner!
For this matter, the chief treasurer took out six hundred taels of silver from his pocket. Five hundred taels to Li Yan. Hopefully he'll do his best.
The remaining one hundred taels will also be given to Li Yan. I hope to give a little subsidy to the brothers in the yamen.
In short, in order to save Lu Weichuan, several shops and big shopkeepers of the Lu family did their best!
Unexpectedly, after the silver ticket was handed over to Li Yan, everyone thought that Lu Weichuan would be rescued soon. But there was no sound at all.
No one in sight, no news.
Because of this reason, every store of the Lu family can no longer do business.
First of all, it is a matter of life and death. I don't know Lu Weichuan's life and death!
Moreover, the big shopkeeper has the final say. He collected all the silver and handed it to Li Yan. But the young owner hasn't been released yet!
Can't explain it to the owner!
After all, these shopkeepers work for the Lu family. The store is not theirs. The silver tickets were handed over to the big treasurer, but the people have not yet been rescued. Therefore, the owners of other shops blamed the big shopkeeper.
There is also a kind of resentment in the hearts of the people, and that is the big shopkeeper who profits from it!
The big shopkeeper can't say what he is suffering. He was angry and sick. But he can't keep it that way. He went to the government with his illness, hoping to find Li Yan and ask for an explanation.
However, Li Yantuo's illness was nowhere to be seen. There were three or four times, and the big shopkeeper couldn't help it. He just hopes that the old owner of the capital can come here to solve this problem.
Fortunately, at this time, Lu Ren came to the Lu family's shop and met the big shopkeeper. The big shopkeeper told Lu Ren all these things. Later, he learned that the young marshal of the Zhao Wangfu and the Di family were coming. The big shopkeeper rushed to the General Soldier's Mansion and told Di Qing about the situation.
