New Chang'an, Lu Linshan just walked into an old house, and immediately a few subordinates came up, carefully touched him, and saw that there were no weapons, so he settled down.

Lu Linshan, as the political envoy of Xichuan and the highest governor of a province, was searched in an ordinary house, and if this scene was seen by outsiders, his jaw would definitely drop.

"Grandson of the Lu family, come with me."

After searching his body, the subordinate led by him said lightly.

This man was about sixty or seventy years old, his face was wrinkled, his face was expressionless when he spoke, and his tone was gloomy, and he felt that it was not much different from that of a dead man's face, without the slightest respect.

However, instead of showing any annoyance, Lu Linshan bowed slightly to the subordinate and said in a proper manner: "There is labor to lead the way." ”

The man just nodded, and without replying, he turned and walked into a long hallway, as if he were the one with more honorable status.

Lu Linshan did not have the slightest arrogance, and silently followed him in, without saying a word.

The whole mansion was terrifyingly quiet, and only the footsteps of the two could be heard.

The corridor is actually a gap between two high walls, very narrow, just enough for a person to walk through, and it is long and straight, like a path leading to the ghost gate, and it is very depressing to walk in.

But Lu Linshan didn't look around, just lowered his head and moved forward silently, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, the corridor came to an end, and the road suddenly opened up, and an ancestral hall with gray bricks and blue tiles came into view.

The old man stopped, turned around and pointed to the gate of the ancestral hall and said to Lu Linshan: "Go in, the masters have been waiting for you for a while." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Linshan to answer, he got into the small door on the side and disappeared.

Lu Linshan came back to his senses, but what he was thinking about in his heart didn't seem to have come to fruition, he settled down, took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in.

"You're here?"

As soon as he entered the door, an old voice came out.

Lu Linshan looked up and saw four people sitting side by side in the back hall, on the left and right were an old man in his eighties with a deflated mouth and a middle-aged man in his early forties.

Among them, there was a thin old man in his nineties and a fat man with a round face in his fifties.

It was the oldest wizened old man who spoke.

As soon as he saw the four of them, Lu Linshan immediately knelt down and said in a deep voice: "The three generations of the Lu family have a long house, meet the four family masters!" ”

"There are no outsiders here, cousin, get up."

The round-faced fat man in his fifties said with a smile that he was the head of the Lu family of this generation, Lu Linshan's cousin, Lu Linfeng.

"Thank you, master!"

Lu Linshan nodded, slowly got up from the bluestone paved ground, and immediately a few subordinates brought chairs and asked him to sit down.

"You saw Chin Cha last night, what did you find?"

Taking advantage of this gap, the old man with a pouting mouth, Zheng Mubai, the head of the Zheng family, asked.

Lu Linshan nodded and said: "Back to Uncle Bai's words, I have seen it, it is not the same as I imagined, Xu Rui is indeed very young, but his talent is really amazing."

At the reception banquet, he was not only kind and kind, quite family-like, but also very generous and financially rich.

The younger generation thought that he was very likely to come from a famous family, but after thinking about it, he couldn't correspond to the high-ranking family known to the younger generation, which was really strange. ”

"That's weird."

The chubby Lu Linfeng said with a smile: "News just came from Beijing this morning, this Xu Rui's origin is not ordinary, he is the second person in this generation of ghost valleys to walk the world. ”

"Oh?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Lu Linshan's frowning brows stretched a little, and he nodded: "If the Guigu Gate makes sense, no wonder he is knowledgeable and has amazing financial resources, it turns out that he is a member of that family, so there is no need to confuse him with those mediocre people." ”

A middle-aged man with a national face, Wang Tongli, the head of the Wang family, nodded: "Maybe now is an opportunity, if you can really get on the line with the people of Guigumen, maybe you can send a few children to worship your subordinates." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, the reputation of the Guigu family is too great, even the thousand-year-old family admires their name very much, if they can really send the children of the family to the Guigu Gate, the restoration of the past glory may be just around the corner.

"Hmph, you're thinking too simply, aren't you?"

At this moment, Cui Huanchen, the eldest head of the Cui family, said coldly: "The more special his identity and the stronger his ability, the more dangerous it is, haven't you thought about it, why did the little emperor send him to Xichuan at this juncture?" ”

Hearing Cui Huanchen's words, everyone's eagerness was immediately extinguished.

Wang Tongli frowned and said: "Right now, the Southern Dynasty is attacking Qi, and the little emperor has sent Xiao Jinwu, the secretary of the military department, to sit in the south and integrate the border army on the southern front......

Zheng Mubai, who was pouted, took over the conversation and said: "It is said that at this time, the little emperor's attention should be on the battlefield on the southeast front, why did he send another Qin to my Xichuan?" ”

Lu Linfeng's eyes froze and said, "Could it be that the little emperor has already discovered that incident and wants to do something to us?" ”

"Probably not."

Wang Tongli shook his head and said, "If you really want to do something with us, how can you only send a thousand people?" Is there any news from that lady in Kyochu? ”

Lu Linfeng shook his head: "No, the lord only said that Xu Rui didn't want to participate in the party struggle here, and he didn't know if there were other purposes."

However, he said that Xu Rui is not easy to deal with, and he is very good at disguise, and it is very likely that there are other purposes this time, so let's keep an eye on him. ”

Wang Tongli was silent for a moment and said, "I heard that kid only lived in New Chang'an for three days and ran to Gonghe Mansion with his soldiers, shouldn't it be to cut off our financial route?" ”

"Oh!"

These words seemed to remind everyone, everyone's faces changed, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Lin Shan, you are the only one here who has been in contact with him, what do you think?"

Cui Huanchen, who had never spoken, asked Lu Linshan, and everyone's eyes suddenly looked at him.

Lu Linshan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "He feels very strange to the juniors, he never mentions any official affairs in this industry, it doesn't look like he has any secret mission, but it seems to be a leisurely tour. ”

"The more this happens, the more worrying it becomes."

Cui Huanchen's old face wrinkled and said: "That incident is not only our financial route, but also a knife hanging over our head, we must not make the slightest mistake, it is best to send someone to contact and see if this person is coming for that incident, if so, we can fight for ......"

Speaking of this, Cui Huanchen's voice stopped abruptly, and a pair of godless old eyes glanced at the other three family heads.

Zheng Mubai was the first to say: "If this person can fight, the Zheng family is willing to let him participate and even get a piece of the pie, but the size depends on how many chips this Guigumen person can come up with." ”

Wang Tongli also nodded and said: "The Wang family also means this, the Guigu family is enough to be on an equal footing with us, and it is not impossible to share his share, but it is not enough to not come to bad things, he also has to take out what we need." ”

Lu Linfeng pestled his chin and said solemnly: "This is all later, the top priority now is to find out the real purpose of his coming to Xichuan, if it is really the little emperor's dog, if he wants to be unfavorable to my Xichuan, hmph, even if he is from Guigumen, let him have no return." ”

"Then the junior will go to him again to tempt and tempt?"

Seeing that several family heads decided to probe Xu Rui's bottom again, Lu Linshan asked tentatively.

Cui Huanchen shook his head: "No need, you are the political envoy of Xichuan Bu, it is not appropriate to take the initiative to make up for him, otherwise it will not only despise his identity, but also arouse suspicion." ”

Lu Linfeng nodded: "Exactly, everything is too much, it's better to take it slowly, isn't he young, it just so happens that the old man has already found a junior, and he is ready to try his color to see if he is a human or a ghost." ”

"That's great!"

Several heads of the house nodded at the same time.

Just when the four heads of the family agreed on their opinions, Xu Rui in their mouth was secretly sneaking into a ravine in the northwest of Gonghe Mansion with a reconnaissance company, and finally saw Shangguan Buda, but Shangguan Buda's appearance surprised him.
