Chapter 22: The East Window Affair
Lu Xianzong anxiously waited for Lu Mingwei and Lu Mingxi to come back, and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law waited tremblingly to ask about the evening's menu, but he was also driven out by him with a few words of scolding.
Everyone in the house knows that something has happened to the masters recently, and everyone is silent.
When Lu Mingwei returned home, Lu Xianzong had already impatiently ran to the flower hall to wait, and as soon as they came back, he couldn't wait to ask someone to lead them directly to the flower hall, and as soon as Lu Mingwei entered the door, he looked at her angrily and asked: "Chen Chong's matter, besides you know, who else have you told ?!" ”
Lu Mingxi frowned, she didn't know who Chen Chong was, but looking at Lu Xianzong's appearance, she knew that it must be Lu Xianzong who caused some trouble.
Lu Xianzong looked like he was burning his buttocks, No wonder he was in such a hurry, because just now, someone suddenly came to Shuntianfu, saying that there was a case involving him, and he wanted to ask him something, although he was not a marquis with real power, but he was also a nobleman in the end, how could he let someone from Shuntianfu ask him at will? On the spot, he unceremoniously asked people to block the officials who came to ask about the case.
But in the afternoon, Chen Chong sent someone over to ask him for help, and he knew that Chen Chong had been investigated.
And it's because of the Northwest.
At that time, he was shocked into a cold sweat.
You must know that Chen Chong partnered with him to do business in the northwest, and took advantage of the convenience of the Taifu Temple to give the northwest army a nutritious horse, negotiated with the other side, went to the customs to secretly buy those skins at a low price, and then privately sold those skins to the territory of the Great Zhou at a high price.
It's a sure-fire business.
It's just an absolute violation of the law, after all, Da Zhou has already banned trading with Warat for many years.
Under the huge profits, it is difficult for people to maintain the bottom line, Lu Xianzong is like this, of course he also knows that this is not a good thing, and he also knows that once he is discovered, he must be guilty of a big crime, but the family has to be supported and maintained, and what he receives is just an idle position, and it is not a trivial matter to rely on the little money of the title to maintain the expenses of the marquis.
What's more, he also bought a few large estates in Zhejiang a few years ago, and those were all white silver flowing out.
has been doing it for many years, but it has never been discovered, and he thought that this matter would never be found and dug up again, but he didn't expect that because of Lu Yunsong's matter, Lu Mingwei actually turned this matter out and said it.
He already felt bad at that time, and began to stop it, asking Chen Chong to destroy the evidence.
But I didn't expect that before I could do it, the matter had already been exposed.
This had to make Lu Xianzong suspect that Lu Mingwei did it.
If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother still had to wait to be summoned, if it weren't for Cui Minglou personally going to the house, he would have to slap Lu Mingwei a few times today to calm the anger in his heart no matter what, it was too much, he asked Lu Mingwei sharply: "Are you crazy!?" What good is this thing for our family?! Even if you don't recognize me as a father, can't it be that you don't care about your brother and sister, and don't care about Chang Yonghou's mansion?! ”
Seeing that he was too emotional, Lu Mingxi was worried that he would beat people like Lu Linlang before, so he hurriedly pulled Lu Mingwei aside.
Lu Mingwei is not afraid of Lu Xianzong, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as a person asks for something, he can become a weakness that is manipulated by others, Lu Xianzong is the same, he cares about fame and fortune, he cares about glory and wealth, he wants too many things, so he cares more about his own life.
He would never allow himself to go wrong.
In this case, he will do something to Lu Linlang, but he will not hit her.
She shook her head lightly: "It's not me." ”
Seeing that Lu Xianzong didn't believe it, she asked bluntly: "Didn't my father think about it?" How did I find out about your partnership with Chen Chong in Northwest China? ”
Yes, Lu Xianzong reacted with hindsight, he was only shocked at the time, and he was also suppressed by Lu Mingwei's conditions, and he forgot to ask, how did Lu Mingwei know about this.
He does business with Chen Chong, and this matter has always been very secretive, after all, it is a fatal thing, where can everyone know about it?
No matter how powerful Lu Mingwei is, it is impossible to know that this is.
He couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?" ”
Lu Mingwei tugged at the corners of her mouth: "The reason why I know is because the little prince mentioned it." ”
Little Prince? Cui Minglou?!
Lu Xianzong's hairs stood on end, and he didn't have any intention of pursuing it at this time, but asked in shock: "How can this be?" How so? ”
"The little prince is now in Jinyiwei, you know." Lu Mingwei sighed, and also looked very sorry: "His sources are very broad, Chen Chong has a younger brother who is a good gambler at home, so he opened up a trade route again in private from you, and let people out of the customs privately, this time, those people were caught by the Warat people, and used them to exchange with our Great Zhou."
Lu Xianzong listened to it with a blank face.
No wonder, he said that he has always been very careful in this business, and compared with other people who are relatively large, he has always been seeking to make money steadily, and the soldiers he bought were all subordinates who followed the old marquis back then and took them to make money together, so those people were loyal to him.
It's just that he didn't expect it, but it was privately enabled by Chen Chong.
What a damn one!
He gritted his teeth with hatred, and at the same time was terrified, this case is now in Shuntian Mansion, if Chen Chong confesses him, then what can he do?
This.
He looked at Lu Mingwei in horror: "Mingwei, you have to think of a way, if something happens to me because of this, the title may not be able to be kept!" ”
If the title can't be kept, then Lu Yunting will not be of any good.
Lu Mingwei was a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, before frowning and saying, "Little Wangye, because I helped me before, I am willing to listen to me a few words."
Lu Xianzong was mainly afraid that this matter would stab the saint.
It's not appropriate for him to go to someone now.
There have been repeated accidents in the family recently, and the Lin family's affairs involve Princess Baoqing, even if it turns out later that it is simply a family matter of Princess Baoqing's family, the Lin family just asked Master Jiyun for help with that little concubine.
But who can say this kind of thing?
What's more, the two families already have such a deep hatred.
In addition, the Wang family also fell.
Lu Xianzong is really blind in the capital now, and no one may dare to agree to help him.
If Lu Mingwei can ask Cui Minglou, it will undoubtedly be the best!
After all, even if the Lu family didn't have an accident, with Lu Xianzong's identity, it would not be easy to ask Cui Minglou to do something.
