Chapter 263: Convincing Chu Hongluan

Zhang Lu came in and arched his hand towards Chu Hongluan and Mr. Er.

Chu Hongluan raised his eyes to look at him, then turned to Chu Xiyao and said, "Yao'er, we have something to discuss, you go out to play for a while."

Chu Xiyao pouted, put on a coquettish appearance and said, "Auntie, I'm also from Zhenhai Tower, let me hear what you talk about, besides, people are no longer children, why do you still let me go out to play."

Chu Xiyao knew that her aunt loved herself the most, and every time she was coquettish, her aunt would agree to her request.

But today, Chu Xiyao miscalculated.

Chu Hongluan didn't agree to her, but looked at her with straight eyes.

There was a taste in his eyes that could not be refused.

Chu Xiyao had never seen Chu Hongluan like this, and there was a trace of fear in her heart, seeing that her aunt's eyes were firm, she could only walk out honestly.

Seeing that Chu Xiyao had led the door outside, Chu Hongluan then spoke, "Zhang Luan, what is the matter with you coming to me?"

Zhang Zhen didn't speak, but looked at the second gentleman next to him.

But Mr. Two had no intention of leaving.

Chu Hongluan also opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Second is the person I trust the most, if there is anything, you can just say it."

Zhang Lu nodded, and then said, "That person named Li Donghai wants to kill me, and you said you would give me an explanation."

Hearing this, Mr. Er rubbed his temples and thought to himself, didn't this kid know that Li Donghai was dead? Didn't he send those brocade guards who killed Li Donghai?

Mr. Er came over to tell Chu Hongluan the news of Li Donghai's death, but before the words could be spoken, Chu Xiyao and Zhang Lu came.

Chu Hongluan looked at Zhang Lu and said, "You should know that Li Donghai was not originally from our Zhenhai Tower, if we really do what Li Donghai does, it will be a little troublesome."

Zhang Yan didn't refute, but said, "I understand Honggu's concerns, and I also know that Li Donghai is not from Zhenhai Tower, but they dare to kill me in Zhenhai Tower, is Zhenhai Tower really not responsible at all? Or haven't you heard anything at all?"

These words have a somewhat murderous flavor, but this is also something that can't be helped, if you want Zhenhailou to be disbanded, you can't just say it as soon as you come up, right? That's no different from unloading the mill and killing a donkey.

But if you grasp the mistakes of Zhenhailou, then Zhang Lu will say the proposal to dissolve Zhenhailou later, and the waist can be much tougher.

It's just that before Chu Hongluan could speak, Mr. Two had already spoken, "Li Donghai is dead, is this considered an explanation?"

Hearing the news, Chu Hongluan and Zhang Lu were both stunned, they didn't expect such a result.

Although Chu Hongluan had a question in his heart, he didn't immediately ask.

Zhang Zhen was staring at Mr. Er, as if he wanted to see the truth of the news from Mr. Er's expression.

Mr. Two was also looking at Zhang Yuan, and seeing Zhang Yuan's surprised look, he also gave the answer in his heart, it seems that this kid really doesn't know the news that Li Donghai is dead.

Zhang Lu didn't expect that his righteous punch hit the cotton like this, which also made him a little embarrassed.

….

The scene went straight to silence.

After about a minute or two, seeing that Zhang Lu didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, Chu Hongluan asked again, "Are you still in trouble?"

If Zhenhailou is not disbanded, then the imperial court will definitely designate Zhenhailou as a thief, and then the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will definitely raze Zhenhailou to the ground.

Zhang Lu naturally didn't want to see these anti-Japanese heroes suffer unjustly, and preferred to see them die.

Now, he can only give up his hand and say, "I...... And a reluctant please."

Chu Hongluan also said directly, "But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhang Zhen bowed solemnly to Chu Hongluan and Mr. Er, and then said, "I hope Zhenhai Tower can be disbanded."

Zhang Lu thought that if he said this, Chu Hongluan and Mr. Er would be furious, so if they didn't say it, they would do it directly, and scold some ugly words

It's not too much.

It's just that Zhang Lu didn't expect that whether it was Chu Hongluan or Mr. Er, they all looked calm, and Chu Hongluan even picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if Zhang Lu was just chatting about some homely things.

Zhang Yan was puzzled, and asked cautiously, "Aren't you two angry? Or it's okay to be shocked."

Chu Hongluan asked directly, "Is this what the imperial court meant?"

This sentence directly made Zhang Lu's heart rise to his throat, people in the rivers and lakes have always been not very interested in the court, although they will not draw their swords when they meet, but when they don't like each other, it is normal to have a life-and-death duel.

Zhang Lu asked himself if he had the strength to get out of Zhenhai Tower safely, and at the same time, he also felt strange, he had never said that he was a Jinyi guard, how did Honggu know? Could it be that Zheng County's order failed to report the news?

Turning his head and thinking about it, he felt that there was no such possibility, no matter how Zheng Xianling said it, he was also an official of the imperial court, and he would not be confused about this kind of thing.

But now that his identity has been exposed, there is no need for Zhang Zhen to hide it, so he nodded directly and said, "Yes, this is the meaning of the imperial court."

Although she had already wanted to retire after solving the Japanese invaders, now that the imperial court wants to forcibly dissolve Zhenhai Tower, Honggu is a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She frowned, and asked Zhang Yan: "At the beginning, the Japanese were in trouble, but I didn't see a single soldier from the imperial court, Muping County and even Dengzhou Mansion could keep safe, but it was all filled in by our Zhenhailou with human lives, and now that the Japanese are gone, the imperial court will do the matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey?" I want to ask, if I don't dissolve Zhenhai Tower, how will the imperial court treat us?"

That's right, at least ask for it, and it's normal to express dissatisfaction.

Zhang Lu sighed lightly and said: "To be honest, I also think that the imperial court is not very authentic, but this is also a helpless thing, a few years ago, whether it was Yunnan or the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they all jumped up and down, and the imperial court could only start to deal with it.

This is absolutely the truth, and it is indeed the difficulty of the imperial court, Zhang Lu didn't care much about the affairs of the court before, but since he knew that Muping County was in trouble, he still made up some knowledge.

….

I only heard Zhang Yan continue: "Now that there is Mu Ying in Yunnan, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was almost wiped out by Lan Yu, isn't the imperial court also going to establish Weihaiwei in Dengzhou, as long as Weihaiwei is established, then the people here will no longer be afraid of the Japanese invaders."

Regarding Zhang Yan's answer, Chu Hongluan obviously didn't buy it much, she spoke again, emphasizing the original question: "You haven't answered me yet, if I don't dissolve Zhenhai Tower, how will the imperial court treat us?"

Zhang Yan didn't answer directly, but sighed and asked, "Honggu, if the Imperial Court Hundred Battles Heroes come here, wearing iron armor and holding a sharp blade, I wonder if Zhenhailou can resist it?"

Although there is no direct answer, the answer has been given in the words.

In the face of ordinary soldiers, a master of the rivers and lakes can indeed kill a lot, but there are not many people in Zhenhai Tower who can really be called masters, as long as the imperial court sends an army with bows and arrows to shoot three salvos at Zhenhai Tower, I am afraid that there will be no one in Zhenhai Tower.

Even if the remaining masters can bring some damage to the army, when their internal strength is exhausted, they can only be greeted with death.

Jianghu people generally don't give in, but for some reason, Zhang Lu always feels that Chu Hongluan can make the most correct choice.

I saw Chu Hongluan think for a moment, then nodded and replied, "In this case, I promise you to dissolve Zhenhai Tower."

Zhang Lu thought that the negotiations would last for a long time, but he didn't expect Chu Hongluan to agree so happily, and he asked with a surprised face, "This is agreed?" It's that simple?"

Chu Hongluan didn't speak, but Mr. Second walked up to Zhang Lu with a smile and said, "Of course it's that simple, in fact, even if the imperial court doesn't ask for it, Honggu already has plans to retire from the rivers and lakes."

Hearing this, Zhang Lu saluted Chu Hongluan again and said, "Honggu has a big pattern, and she is really from the rivers and lakes

Role models."

Chu Hongluan shook his head and said, "I can't afford this model, you kid don't have to praise me, although I agreed to the dissolution of Zhenhai Tower, I also hope you can promise me something."

This made it difficult for Zhang Yu to ask, and he said: "Don't hide it from Honggu, I am a hundred households in Jinyiwei, which sounds very powerful, but at best, he is a sixth-grade official, and he really can't promise Honggu anything on behalf of the imperial court."

Chu Hongluan shook his head again and said, "My request is not for the imperial court, but for you."

Zhang Lu pointed to himself and asked uncertainly, "What about me?"

Chu Hongluan nodded and said, "Not bad."

This is easy to do, Zhang Lu immediately gave up his hand and said: "Although Honggu said yes, I have always admired Zhenhailou and Honggu, as long as there is a place to help, Zhang Zhen will definitely do his best, even if he fights for his life."

Chu Hongluan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't need to ask for your life, let me ask you, do you have a marriage match?"

Get married? Zhang Lu couldn't help but have two figures in his mind, one was Liuli's, that was the girl he married at the beginning, but to be honest, he didn't actually have any love for Liuli, and some were just sympathy.

As for the second figure, it is Xu Haoyuan's, which is the girl he really likes and hopes to spend his life with.

Zhang Lu was also sincere, and said, "I used to marry a daughter-in-law, and I met her in the Qinglou."

Chu Hongluan frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Qinglou woman? Your Zhang family has always called itself a noble family, and your parents will allow you to marry a girl from a green house?"

Zhang Zhen sighed, nodded, and then shook his head again and said, "She was originally a famous Oiran in Jinling, but she died to save me, I ransomed for her, and she no longer belonged there, and I brought her coffin back to my home, and no one in the family objected, and I buried her in the name of my wife."

Night rivers and lakes.
