Chapter 35: The Robbery (I)
In the Ripple Garden, Li Yuzhi looked at his proud daughter with tears in his eyes, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. She was confined to the ancestral hall for a long time, Qiulan cut off her connection with her mother's family, and fought with Qiulan several times in the ancestral hall, and she also suffered a lot openly and secretly. Now that I can see the light of day, my heart is naturally deeply touched.
It's just that after walking this experience, Li Yuzhi's heart for power has become more and more firm, and the dark days when he was confined to the ancestral hall did not see the light of day, and he was faced with spirit cards and dead people all day long, and even the air was filled with the breath of death.
Xu saw Li Yuzhi's unwillingness, and Lu Yinhua reassured, "Mother has been recuperating these days, and Wei Nu'er has the status of the county lord, and it is not good to move again." Qiulan's side, I will think of dividing her power and making my mother's life better. ”
Li Yuzhi looked at the well-behaved and sensible eldest daughter and sighed, "Yinhua, you are the only one who makes me worry the most and is my right-hand man." You say, if your sister can match you by one ten-thousandth of yours, I will be relieved. ”
"Mother still doesn't want to say such things again. If you let Yuebai listen to it, I'm afraid that I will feel uncomfortable again for a while. By the way, the Queen Mother rewarded a pair of coral string hand beads, and her mother will send them to Yuebai later, so as not to make her unhappy. ”
"You're always so governor, kid." Li Yuzhi patted Lu Yinhua's hand and smiled.
Outside the door, Lu Yuebai's face was pale, and jealousy gradually ignited in her eyes. She looked down at the ginseng soup she was holding in her hand, and her heart that cared for her mother was suddenly hit hard, she turned around angrily, poured the ginseng soup into the flower pot on the side of the road, and walked away quickly.
The slave returned to Xiaoliu'an to retreat from the crowd, took out the account book from the most secret place, and read it carefully. Slender fingers glide over the footer until one finger stops. There are a few words written on it:
In the nineteenth year of Yuan'an, August 24. There was a riot at the border pass, and the assassin of Liangzhou was killed. The case was transferred to Dali Temple for trial:
Dali Temple Qing Lu Wen - 300,000 taels, changed the verdict to Wan Zhaoyuan, the son of the wealthy businessman Wan Fuyong, not guilty, and the commoner Zhao Erxi was guilty.
In the twentieth year of Yuan'an, the third day of the fifth month. Mrs. Lu's birthday:
Dali Siqing was bribed by the new Liangzhou Thorn Shi Wanfuyong with 100 taels of gold and 10 famous paintings.
……
The slave closed the ledger and already had an idea in her mind. She put the ledger away and called, "New eyebrows." ”
Someone outside the door immediately lifted the cotton door curtain, revealing a head, "What does the county lord command?" ”
"Prepare the incense car, and in the afternoon, the county will mainly go to the Lu Mansion to visit the uncle."
After lunch, Bai Shuang said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, "Today, the old lady went to Ripple Garden for lunch, the Li family is very popular now, the county lord has to think of a way to deal with it, in case it ......."
"In case the Li clan turns over, it will target me if he has the power to fight back?" Nu'er smiled and shook her head, "The Li family is too busy to take care of herself now, and she is in a hurry to go to the doctor." I only saw that the old lady was my father's biological mother, but I didn't see that the old lady had not even stepped into the general's mansion for more than ten years. Do you think the old lady really wants to help her? ”
Bai Shuang still looked puzzled, and Nu'er was about to explain, but was preempted by Xinmei, "Presumably Lord Lu Wen saw the general going on the expedition and wanted the old lady to come over to explore the situation of the general's mansion and see if she could get any oil and water." Who doesn't know that the two brothers of the Lu family have very different temperaments, one is upright, and the other loves money like life. This old lady Lu blindly favors Lord Lu Wen, and the two families rarely have any contact. No matter how biological her mother is, she can't have the final say in this general's mansion. Am I right? Princess. ”
"You're smart." The slave said angrily.
"Of course!" Xinmei snatched the work in Bai's hands, raised his head and said with a smile, "I just arrived at the General's Mansion, but I have already inquired about all the gossip up and down in this mansion." The county lord will not reward me with a piece of hibiscus cake. ”
"I said why are you so active today, I came here to ask for a reward." Nu'er laughed, "Come on, I'll go to the small kitchen and get a plate of hibiscus crisp in a while, so that you can eat enough." ”
Everyone laughed, and the new eyebrows tightened happily, and after finishing the work quickly, they rushed to the small kitchen to get her hibiscus crisp.
Just after the hour, Nu'er got on the incense car and went to Lu Wenlu's mansion.
In fact, Lu Wen and Lu Zhi were both important ministers of Great Xia, and their residences were both in the aristocratic area not far from the palace, and the incense car only drove for a quarter of an hour before they arrived at the Lu Mansion.
The slave helped Xinmei's hand to get out of the car, and suddenly felt a chill, but before this chill could penetrate his clothes, the slave was wrapped in a cloak. Bai Shuang smiled at the slave, leaving the seat next to the slave to Xinmei, and he walked behind.
Because Nu'er was the county lord of the saint's own title, Lu Wen still gave a little thin noodles in the end, and specially sent his own servant to pick up people.
Walking into the Lu Mansion, Nu'er clearly felt the gap. This Lu Mansion is completely different from the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion is cleverly conceived, and there are unique scenery everywhere. And this Lu Mansion is built with money to make it luxurious, the Lu Mansion is very large, there is no crooked corridor, but boxy pavilions. It is very easy to know the way, enter from the main entrance, and walk along the main road is Lu Wen's study.
Although I could see the outline of the study from a distance, it took me half an hour to get there. The slave couldn't help but think, this Uncle Lu Wen has good foot strength, isn't he tired of walking like this every day?
Walking into the study, waiting for the slave was a middle-aged man with a wide and fat body, without Lu Zhi's heroic handsomeness, only rich and fat. Nu'er is blessed, "Nu'er has seen uncle." ”
"It's all a family, so there's no need to be polite." Lu Wen sat down and waved his fat hands, "Show the county lord a seat." ”
The slave sat down, didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "When my grandmother first arrived at the General's Mansion, I am afraid that she was a little unaccustomed to it, and she fainted yesterday. ”
"That's because you don't take good care of it, the old lady has always been considerate and never looks for trouble. I think my brother really can't manage the family. Lu Wen's tone was not good, which made the slave feel a little uncomfortable, and he was too lazy to read any friendship.
"In the nineteenth year of Yuan'an, the twenty-fourth of August. There was a riot at the border pass, and the assassin of Liangzhou was killed. The case was transferred to Dali Temple for trial. Uncle, you accepted 300,000 taels, and the verdict was changed to Wan Zhaoyuan, the son of the wealthy businessman Wan Fuyong, who was not guilty, and the commoner Zhao Erxi was guilty. In the twentieth year of Yuan'an, the third day of the fifth month. Grandmother's birthday, and uncle, you accept a bribe of 100 taels of gold and 10 famous paintings from the new Liangzhou Thorn Shi Wanfuyong. Yong'an ......" A series of words came out of the slave's mouth softly and skillfully, Lu Wen's face turned pale, and the slave turned to laugh and said, "What, does Uncle still want to continue listening?" ”
"You're not pretending? Talking nonsense! Come on, drag me down and interrogate me properly! Lu Wen shouted.
"Don't worry, uncle." Nu'er stopped Lu Wen's command with a smile, she paced slowly, and said quietly, "If I can't get out of this gate intact today, I'm afraid that what my niece said will be sent to the Holy Lord's desk tomorrow." Uncle, you have to figure it out. ”
"What the hell do you want?" Lu Wen scolded angrily in a low voice.
"What can I do with a little kid? I'm the one who doesn't like to meddle the least, but ......" The slave blinked, and a sly glint flashed in her bright moon-like eyes. She sat down and said lightly, "Since my grandmother is not in good health and is not used to staying in the General's Mansion, why don't you come to pick up your grandmother in person before noon tomorrow?" ”
Lu Wen flicked his long sleeves and snorted coldly, "Don't Xiao descendants!" But he did not refuse the slave's request. He thought that children were children after all, and no matter how big the handle was in his hands, his vision was too small, and he didn't make a big difference. When he was secretly glad that the person holding his pigtails was an ignorant child, the slave smiled at him, and he suddenly shuddered and his body shook.
