Chapter 522: Knocking

After handing over the prayer post, An Guo returned to his sedan chair, sat there, and began to raise his spirits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt's only afternoon, and there are still nearly two hours before Lu Jimin comes back. It stands to reason that even if he goes back and waits, it will be the same, but An Guo just stayed, and he did this just to show his sincerity. I only hope that Lu Jimin can see this sincerity and not be too difficult for himself.

Lowering the curtain, An Guo's eyes darkened, and there were bursts of weak moans in his ears. There were men and women, old and young, and he seemed to be able to see their yellow faces and thin muscles, and their bodies were in tatters. He started to give relief to the victims, purely to complete Fang Hong's mission, so that he could have a relationship with that being.

However, as time passed, he could feel the pain of the victims more and more. Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, and everyone also has feelings, so I really don't know how those officials got their hands when they reached out to get relief money. Could it be that they are all evil spirits with human skins?

However, Anguo was discouraged again. In the final analysis, he is just a businessman, and those officials, who are not from a serious scholar's background, are well-rooted, and they can take care of him if anyone comes out. Just like this time, it was obvious that he was detained by someone, but he had to take the initiative to apologize and apologize, where is the reason?

"Whew. An Guo let out a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression in his chest. His eyes closed again, and his mind felt extremely depressed.

Time passed little by little, An Guo sat in the sedan chair, the atmosphere was quiet and heavy, only the sound of his slight breathing came. The sedan chair bearers were silent, standing in place, not knowing what they were thinking.

"The master is home. Just when the sky was just dark, a long singing sound sounded, and then a red sedan chair swayed from a distance.

The four powerful sedan chair men have big steps. Beside them, there were several guards following, and the pomp and circumstance seemed huge.

"The owner, it's Lu Tongzhi who is back. An Guo's butler quietly approached his host's sedan chair and whispered.

"I see. An Guo replied, but did not move. He can't just go to see Lu Tongzhi on the street, this will inevitably be a violation of etiquette, and if he makes Lu Tongzhi unhappy, it will be troublesome.

He sat outside and waited, until Lu Tongzhi entered the mansion, he waited for a while before he stepped forward to knock on the door, and the door was still opened in the afternoon.

"This little brother, can you tell Lu Tongzhi that Wuxi Anguo came to visit...... "An Guo stepped forward, handed over another ingot of silver, and secretly stuffed it into the sleeve of this door. As the saying goes, little ghosts are difficult to deal with, once you offend this family, you may not even be able to see Lu Tongzhi's face.

"This is natural, you wait here for a while. Another ingot of silver smashed over, and the man's heart was full of joy, and he immediately turned his head and went into the courtyard to report it.

An Guo stood at the door, pacing slightly anxiously. After a while, the man came over, but looking at the look on the other party's face, An Guo's heart chuckled.

"The master is changing his clothes, you can wait for a while. This man's tone was a little cold, and he lost his enthusiasm just now. When An Guo heard this, he had to nod and continue to stand at the door and wait.

After finishing speaking, the door closed the side door. Only An Guo and the housekeeper were left with a look of grievance, and continued to wait at the door.

A quarter of an hour...... Half an hour...... An Hour......

It waited for nearly an hour and a half before the door reopened. "The lord said, you can come in. ā€

When An Guo heard this, he couldn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of humiliation and unwillingness. They have been held by others for so long, how can they not have a temper in their hearts. But no matter how much temper you have, you have to endure it, otherwise it will be bad if it hurts a big thing.

"Thank you, little brother. Although his heart was already suffocated to the extreme, he still had to force a smile and say thank you to this family.

The man just glanced at them, and there was a trace of pity in the depths of his eyes, it seemed that these two people had offended their master, otherwise the master would not have beaten them like this.

After An Guo entered the courtyard, he followed the door and went all the way to the front hall. In the front hall, there was already a middle-aged man in civilian clothes and a small stature sitting there.

This middle-aged man was born with a good appearance, a wide face and square chin, and a black beard on his lips.

However, the moment An Guo saw this person, he couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart. This person is Lu Jimin, don't look at him is very upright, but he has never done things by any means, and there are a lot of dirty things behind him. and his name, which is beautiful and helps the people, but in fact, he can't wait to squeeze out all the oil and water from the people.

"I've seen Lord Tongzhi. An Guo quickly hid the emotion in his eyes and bowed down to salute this person. In any case, this person is an official of the sixth grade, one of the most powerful in Huaiqing Mansion, and he still has to be careful in what he does.

"Your Excellency is Mr. Anguo, who has admired his name for a long time. Seeing An Guo come in, Lu Jimin smiled, although he didn't get up, he arched his hand.

"I didn't expect the cheap name to be able to enter the ears of Lord Tongzhi, it's a great honor. An Guo's face pulled out a smile, a flattered look, but what he thought in his heart, only he could know.

"Mr. An Guo came here this time, is it for the sake of that batch of grain?" After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, An Guo was thinking about how to speak, but Lu Jimin had already spoken first.

ā€œ...... Be. At this moment, Anguo's rhythm was disrupted, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said.

"Mr. Anguo. Lu Jimin stood up, bowed deeply to An Guo, and his voice became low. "This ...... Lord Tongzhi, what do you mean by this?" An Guo's heart tightened, what did Lu Jimin mean by this? In his heart, he added a little bit of jealousy, but he had to make another gesture on his face and stretched out his hand to help Lu Jimin up.

"Now that disasters are everywhere, my Huaiqing Mansion is starving everywhere, and the relief of the imperial court alone is not enough. This time the withholding of Mr.'s food was a last resort. But for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people under my rule, I would rather be this sinner. Lu Jimin's voice trembled slightly, and even his eyes began to redden.
