Lu Zhiliu's son married the daughter of Xue Ruike's cousin, the former secretary of the military department, and relying on the relationship with the Xue family, the Lu family's business got better and better, and the silk village also entered the capital. Of course, with Xue Ruike being convicted and demoted, the Xue family declined, and relying on the Lu family, which was prosperous and prosperous, the business naturally suffered a setback.

So when Aya Luo Nishang took the lead in making the cotton business bigger and stronger in Dengzhou, Lu Zhiliu, the head of the Lu family, squeezed in front of Qin Rizhan in an almost pleading posture, and finally grabbed a piece of the pie, and was able to send craftsmen into Xiao Nuan's cotton mill to learn the craft of weaving cotton cloth.

It is common for officials and businessmen to collude with various dynasties and generations, and the big merchants in Dengzhou are more or less implicated in the Xue family, so Xiao Nuan and Zhao Shuyan did not take this matter to heart when choosing cooperative merchants.

Each family is a little cautious, and it is not surprising that they want to learn the skills of her cotton mill ten out of ten. It's just that Xiao Nuan didn't expect that the Lu family would be so bold as to dare to kidnap the craftsmen of the cotton mill!

The cotton mill is her Chen Xiaonuan, not Qin Ri's! Today's youngest Ge Lao Sheng Wang Chai Yan Sheng has not passed the door of the concubine, and the emperor's newly sealed Wenchang Palace Master, under the addition of these two identities, the Lu family still wants to fight the idea of the craftsmen in the small warm cotton mill, Lu Zhiliu is either brainless or has a big backer.

Xiao Nuan believes that it is the latter.

She looked at Lu Zhiliu, who was arrested by the yamen, first frightened by Qin San, and then knelt down in front of her, and asked directly, "The county lord only asks you one question: Who instructed you to do this?" ”

Lu Zhiliu, who described the embarrassment, kowtowed again and again, "No one instructed the villain, it was the villain who was blinded by lard to do such a stupid thing, please spare the county lord's life, the villain has an old mother and a child to feed, please spare the county lord." ”

Xiao Nuan sneered, "I said I wanted your 'life'?" ”

Lu Zhiliu didn't dare to move, "Yes, please ask the county lord to leave food for the villain...... There is an eighty-year-old mother on the villain, and a baby waiting to be fed underneath......"

"You are not a slave of the lord of the county, and your food was not given by the lord of the county before, and it will not be in the future. Your mother has been dead for many years, if you want to be filial to her so much, I might as well give you a ride? ”

Lu Zhiliu didn't dare to speak, and knelt on the ground with his eyes rolling around thinking of ideas.

Xiao Nuan saw that there was no truth in this guy's mouth, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, "Youlao officials escorted him to the yamen and handed him over to Lord Lou to send him down." ”

"County Lord, you can't!" Lu Zhiliu jumped up in fright, if he was escorted like this, it was strange that Lou Xiaoqian didn't peel off the two layers of skin of the Lu family!

Xiao Nuan said coldly, "You sent someone to kill the county lord's courtyard and robbed the county lord's craftsmen, and the county lord handed you over to Lord Lou instead of killing you directly, which is already polite!" ”

"Your nursing home was really not killed by a villain, the villain was wronged!" Lu Zhiliu shouted injustice again and again.

"Yes or no, Lord Lou has his own judgment." Xiao Nuan waved his hand, and the official dragged Lu Zhiliu out and escorted him directly back to the county office.

When Lu Zhiliu was escorted to the first village, he shouted to the Dengzhou cloth merchants who came with him, "For the sake of our friends for many years, everyone will help me ask for a favor." ”

These people all took advantage of the Lu family, but seeing that Chen Xiaonuan's momentum was so strong, they really couldn't make up their minds, and they turned their heads to look at Qi Zhiyi.

"Young Master Qi, look ......"

Qi Zhiyi also had a sad face, "I heard that Qin Dongjia said that Miss Chen is a reasonable person, as long as we don't do anything wrong, she won't be embarrassed for us." After all, this matter is the fault of the Lu family in the first place, and you have to go in and see it before you know. ”

Jiang Xicheng also said, "Exactly, as long as Miss Chen is not implicated in the innocent, we don't have to be afraid." "As for how she disposes of the Lu family, what does it have to do with him, according to Lu Zhiliu's approach this time, it is inevitable that he will be fined silver and beaten with sticks and lose face, Xiao Nuan wants to be majestic, and he is a fool to stand up and stop him.

Seeing that the two leaders had this attitude, everyone also put the Lu family aside very tacitly, and stood respectfully in front of Xiao Nuan after entering.

When they saw Xiao Nuan's appearance clearly, everyone couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't come back to their senses. This skinny little girl is Qin Rizhan's backer? Is it that she broke off the cooperation between the Lu family and Aya Luo Nishang?

When everyone saluted, Qi Zhiyi raised his head and winked at Xiao Nuan, and Xiao Nuan also curled the corners of his mouth, "Everyone, please get up." ”

When everyone got up, Qi Zhiyi had already recovered his respectful expression and took the lead in speaking, "Lu Zhiliu's villain behavior has failed the county lord's kindness, and he should be punished!" But the villain didn't know what he did, and he didn't go along with him, and asked the county lord to calm his anger and not drive all the craftsmen to the cotton mill. ”

Jiang Xicheng also said, "The Jiang family dares to swear by the ancestral tablet, and they will never communicate with the Lu family." ”

The remaining few business owners also refer to the guarantee of heaven and earth. Xiao Nuan listened with a smile, these people all said that they didn't have an affair with Lu Zhilu, but they didn't say that they didn't have the idea of hitting the cotton mill, "Don't panic, this county lord will not do it because of choking and waste food." ”

One sentence calmed everyone's hearts, and Xiao Nuan continued, "The Lu family violated the contract, in addition to the punishment of the imperial court, how we signed the contract at the beginning, how to punish it now." ”

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared when they heard this. When he was in Dengzhou, Zhuge Qing signed a contract with them on behalf of Chen Xiaonuan, and they sent craftsmen to Chen Xiaonuan's cotton mill to learn the weaving process. The long list of things that can't be done at the beginning is as much as six sheets of paper.

Everyone secretly rejoiced that they were not the ones who did the trouble.

Xiao Nuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, "Let's talk about ugliness in front, if you have violated the contract like the Lu family, don't blame the county lord for not being merciful." The Lu family killed two nurseries of my cotton mill this time and injured a craftsman, in addition to the thousand taels of silver used for breach of contract, they also need to pay me a thousand taels of silver in the cotton mill! ”

Everyone swallowed, and Jiang Xicheng asked cautiously, "County Lord, is this ...... Too much? ”

Xiao Nuan said slowly, "As for these two nursing homes, Green Butterfly, you say." ”

"Yes!" The green butterfly behind Xiao Nuan spoke, "These two people are young masters selected by the girl from the Jianghu sect, and they can be ten." After hiring them, my girl spent a lot of money on them, and also invited the masters of the Shengwang Mansion to teach them skills. After the two nurses were killed, the girl gave them a pension of one hundred taels of silver each. ”

"Hiss......" Everyone gasped again, with a master of the rivers and lakes who is one of the ten, he still received special training from the Shengwang Mansion, how could such a person be killed by Lu Zhiliu's people? They were afraid of the methods of the Lu family, and on the other hand, they were also frightened by Chen Xiaonuan's such a nursing home.

"As for the craftsman, He Dongbai, you speak."

He Dongbai raised his head, "Zhang Chunsheng is one of the best craftsmen in the cotton mill, he injured his leg and couldn't do things for the past few days, which led to the failure of several weaving improvement processes led by him, and the losses brought to the cotton mill are incalculable, and of course this silver has to be made up by the Lu family." Also, Zhang Chunsheng was also frightened by the captivity this time, and of course the Lu family had to make up a sum of money to suppress him. ”
