Judging from the results and evidence of the trial so far, it is Liu Kan and other second generations who lead the case of abducting girls and girls, and the accomplices are many gentry and wealthy merchant families in Taiyuan Mansion and even the whole of Shanxi.

But from the very beginning, Jia Cong faintly felt that there was a pair of black hands manipulating everything behind his back, perhaps it was the Pingyang Lu family.

However, Jia Cong still had a trace of doubt in his heart, could the Pingyang Lu clan have such great energy? What's the picture again?

The acting princess is from the Lu family in Pingyang, and the son Liu Kan is the nephew of the Lu family, as long as the Lu family grasps the palace of the acting king, which family in Shanxi can compare to the Lu family?

It doesn't make sense, why did the Lu family calculate the royal mansion?

Jia Cong really couldn't figure out what Lu's intention was in doing this, so he didn't respond immediately after hearing Jia Shiyi's report, but thought about it carefully.

"Uncle Eleven, if your nephew is a sure future prince, will you ruin him?"

Jia Shiyi shook his head without hesitation, normal people shouldn't do this.

"Most of Shanxi is about to turn over, and there is no evidence about the Lu family, so the water is very deep!"

Jia Cong's fingers tapped on the table, and the sound seemed to remind him that he had to be cautious and not jump to conclusions.

He looked at the official document spread out on the table, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

Evidence......

The three divisions of this thing need it, and the dragon guards also need it, but he Jia Cong doesn't need it.

Who are the people from Rongguo Mansion going to do, and when do they need evidence?

If you have more debts, you won't worry, and if you have more lice, you won't itch. Anyway, he has already started killing in Taiyuan, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to kill a few more people.

Sometimes a results-oriented strategy seems like a good idea.

……

Lu Huan hasn't had a good night's sleep recently, because he found that he was pitted, and he took the initiative to climb into the pit.

Especially after receiving the secret letter from the capital yesterday, the night passed, and the corners of Lu Huan's mouth were covered with blisters.

"Zhen'er, hasn't there been any news from the Acting Palace?"

The figure behind the screen turned to the front, shook his head and replied: "Father, the palace of the king is surrounded by the forbidden army, and our people can't enter at all. When my son heard that the capital had sent Liu Huai, the king of Ji, to come, I was afraid that he would ......"

"Alas, it was because I sent Liu Huai, an old thing, that I felt that something was wrong."

Who is Liu Huai? The emperor's brother, when today's son's uncle.

If it is just to escort Liu Min and the others back to the capital, it is okay to follow the officials of Zongzheng Temple. With the identity of Liu Huai, the king of Ji, where would he easily send Beijing out.

"Do you think the emperor will know anything? The original incident ......"

Lu Huan's words were only halfway through when he was interrupted by Lu Zhenli: "Father, it's been more than thirty years since that incident, what are you still mentioning it?" ”

"Yes...... Yes, more than thirty years have passed, and everyone who knows is dead. ”

Perhaps it was Lu Zhen's strong drink that made Lu Huan calm down, and his originally somewhat loose eyes slowly became clear but also cold.

He sat up straight with his hands propped up, and said to his son, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, "You're right, no one will know about that." No matter who comes to the capital, our plan will be foolproof. Zhen'er, you go and contact them now, the stage has been set up, it's time to sing and start singing! ”

……

More than half of Shanxi's officials, big and small, were arrested and sent to prison by the Long Guards, and there was a large shortage of manpower, whether it was the political envoy department, the criminal envoy department, or the state capital and county government.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhengju came in time, this old boy really calculated everything he could calculate, and asked for a lot of manpower from the capital before he came.

The dragon guards are still raiding homes and arresting people everywhere, and Taiyuan Mansion is still rumored. Jia Cong threw Shanxi's government affairs to Zhang Zhengju, and while rectifying the palace guards of Taiyuan Mansion, he waited for the opponent's move.

Liu Huai came with a large army, and traveling thirty miles a day can be regarded as speed. Jia Cong was waiting for this army to arrive, and when that time came, it would be much easier for him to do whatever he wanted.

But some people don't want to wait, as soon as March arrived, Shanxi was in chaos.

First of all, rumors spread that the imperial court sent cool officials and corrupt officials, and a Shanxi official, gentry and virtuous were brutalized by him, and his family property was taken away.

Immediately, grain prices in Shanxi rose three times a day, and in just two days, they rose more than 10 times their original amount. Immediately after that, the prices of salt, tea and other goods quadrupled, the shops in the market closed one after another, and the large and small cities appeared in a depression that only had war.

Originally, these were also expected by Jia Cong, he wanted to shuffle the forces in Shanxi, and the other party would definitely make a move to deal with it, and controlling prices was expected.

But what Jia Cong didn't expect was that the rise in grain prices did not cause panic among the people, but a rumor made the whole Shanxi a mess.

"Did you hear that? Xu Qingteng is coming to our Shanxi! ”

"Huh? Impossible, isn't he in Nanzhili? ”

"You are stupid, Jia Cong killed so many people in Shanxi, didn't she just want to give her teacher a front station? What do you say about avenging the people, isn't it to take away the land in our hands? ”

"Shhh So what to do? You can't hand over the property you've saved up for nothing. ”

"What else can I do? If you want a place or a head, you can only choose one. ”

Similar dialogues were staged in the state capitals of Shanxi, and the gentry and wealthy businessmen of the entire Shanxi Province moved.

Unlike before, when the gentry and wealthy merchants of the entire Shanxi felt that their fundamental interests were threatened, they were no longer afraid of the knife in Jia Cong's hand.

In Taiyuan Mansion alone, thousands of gentry with fame and fame have gathered. They flocked to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, regardless of the obstruction of the forbidden army, and attacked the Yamen, insisting that Jia Cong come out to make a clarification guarantee.

What to clarify? Will Xu Jin come to Shanxi?

As for the guarantee, it is whether Jia Cong can guarantee that the imperial court will not implement the matter of clearing the acres of land in Shanxi, and will not deprive the prince of the benefits of tax exemption.

It's okay to clarify, but I guarantee where Jia Cong will do it. One of the most important policies of the New Deal was to restrict land annexation.

His teacher Xu Qingteng did not give up even if it was so difficult to advance in Nanzhili, as a disciple, how could Jia Cong make trouble for his teacher.

Jia Cong's face sank like water, he didn't expect the other party's move to be so tricky.

Zhang Zhengju leisurely boiled tea, and said with a smile: "Being able to incite so many people in such a short period of time has turned the whole Shanxi upside down, it seems that we still underestimate the Pingyang Lu family." ”

Jia Cong was a little irritable, leaning on the door frame and listening to the noise outside, and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that the other party's chess would fall into the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu, could it be that the Pingyang Lu family did so many things, and even sold their nephews, just to keep their property?" Mr. Zhang, do you believe it? ”

"Of course I don't believe it, but judging from the clues we have so far, their goal is really to keep the land."

Zhang Zhengju shook his head and raised his hand to signal Jia Cong to sit down and drink tea.

Jia Cong sat down and said angrily: "To be honest, I can't bear it anymore. Either use my trick and catch it first, and then talk about it, and the provincial Lu clan will continue to stir up the wind and rain. ”

Zhang Zhengju poured a cup of tea for Jia Cong: "Don't worry, don't worry." This Shanxi is not the private property of the gentry, and finally it is still mostly ordinary people. Yongfengbo's potatoes and corn are widely distributed in Shanxi, and no matter how short of rice and grain is, the people will not be hungry. The same goes for those people outside the house, no matter how fierce they are, they can't shake the foundation of the court. ”

"I know this, but I just feel annoyed."

"Hehe~ But Lu Huan doesn't know."

Zhang Zhengju smiled disdainfully: "Lu Huan thinks he is smart, and he wants to recast the prestige of the Fan Yang Lu family by obstructing the new law, and wants the world to return to the family of five surnames and seven hopes to rule the generations." But he forgot that the new law and the new policy may not all fail, and the people will not be fooled and manipulated by them forever. ”

A century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family, the Pingyang Lu family thinks too beautifully.

Great Xia is not the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Pingyang Lu clan is not the Fanyang Lu clan.

The people of Shanxi were filled with high-yield things such as potatoes and corn, and their trust in the court and the emperor reached an incredible height.

Even if the prestige of the Pingyang Lu clan in Shanxi is very high, it cannot use public opinion to sway the people's thoughts.

The price of rice in the rice shop has increased tenfold? Oh, then I won't eat rice, gnaw potatoes and corn for a while, and I'm not hungry anyway.

As long as you can eat a full stomach, why can't you eat? Do you want me to follow you to storm the government? Crazy!

As for talking about clearing the acres of land, redefining the tax system, and abolishing the tax exemption system for officials and gentry, what does that have to do with me, a flat-headed common man?

Therefore, this time Lu Huan miscalculated.

Shanxi is a mess of porridge, and it is only a chaos at the top, and it has little to do with tens of millions of Shanxi people.

Zhang Zhengju opened the paper fan in his hand with a snap, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The only thing I am curious about now is that I can't figure out where the Pingyang Lu clan got the courage to dare to confront the imperial court." Just because he is the descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family? That's too arrogant. ”

The five surnames and seven hopes have long been a thing of the past, and the prosperity of the imperial examination has basically hollowed out the foundation of the family, and the most important thing in the dynasty is to read.

Lu Huan is also a great Confucian in the Northland, can't he see this clearly? Zhang Zhengju didn't believe it.

Jia Cong didn't believe that Lu Huan didn't understand the passage of time, but he was a little more curious.

"Isn't Mr. Zhang curious why Lu Huan sold his daughter and grandson? Is it really to disrupt Shanxi, so as to pave the way for regaining the glory of the family? ”

Zhang Zhengju winked at Jia Cong and smiled: "Who said I wasn't curious?" However, one thing is certain, the grievances between Lu Huan and the Acting Princess's Mansion are not as simple as they seem, but I don't know when the Acting Princess will speak. ”

……

Princess Lu is a very hard-mouthed woman, even though she has been imprisoned for more than a month, she has never said a word.

It wasn't until Liu Huai arrived in Taiyuan with 10,000 forbidden troops in mid-March that she walked out of the dim room and squinted slightly at the warm sun in the sky.

The cold winter has completely passed, and it was spring in March, but she has gone from a high-ranking princess to a prisoner now, and even her son has been cut by a thousand knives......

"Lu Shi, this king asks you, do you have any injustice with your father Lu Huan?"

Lu Huan?

Hearing this name from Liu Huai's mouth, Lu's expression became hideous.

Although Liu Kan is not her biological son, she can raise her, and she has long regarded Liu Kan as her own flesh and blood.

"Since Prince Ji knows everything, why do you want to ask me?"

Boom!

Liu Huai slapped the table and shouted angrily: "This king is asking you, not asking you to ask me!" Quickly and truthfully, Lu Huan, who are you? ”

If it weren't for the secret interrogation, the royal face would have been lost.

Liu Huai can be sure that the slut of the Lu family has an affair with Lu Huan, but he also has doubts about the father-daughter relationship between Lu Huan and the Lu family.

The people of the Central Plains are not Japanese or Tartars, how can ethical things be so absurd?

But......

Lu Shi suddenly sneered: "It seems that Prince Ji doesn't believe that I and that old thief are father and daughter, or rather, Prince Ji can't believe that there will be such a ridiculous thing in the world." Unfortunately, everything is true......"

She is really Lu Huan's biological daughter, but she is just a concubine, and her biological mother is a lowly prostitute.

More than 30 years ago, when she quietly mourned her biological mother who died tragically in the corner of the courtyard of the deep house, she was defiled by her biological father who had only met once.

The drunken biological father slept with his own daughter in a daze, which was like a big joke, but it really happened to Lu Huan, who was a conceited physicist.

There will be a second time when there is absurdity, Lu Huan, a pervert, actually fell in love with his daughter, and went to Lu's small courtyard again and again......

Until that year, Datong was in the midst of war again, and the daughter of the Lu family, who had married into the palace of the king, returned to the province of the province, and the princess of the princess of the dynasty, who was almost ninety percent similar to the Lu family, died in the Lu family mansion in Pingyang.

At that time, the daughter of the Lu family was already two months pregnant.

In order to prevent the high-ranking and powerful Daiwangfu from retaliating, Lu Huan gritted his teeth and called out the concubine he had originally planned to hide, and Li Dai Taozhuang sent him to the Daiwangfu.

Fortunately, Liu Min is a person who likes the new and hates the old, and when the old Wang passed away, the husband and wife separated and kept filial piety, and the Lu family successfully replaced the concubine and became the "real" acting princess.

As for Liu Kan, it is just a baby that Lu Huan found from the people.

Therefore, the Lu family is really Lu Huan's daughter. But Liu Kan does not have any blood of the Lu family. Lu's once only biological child was already transformed by a bowl of medicine when he was pregnant.

The hideousness and sneer on Lu's face slowly disappeared when she told these old stories, and was replaced by a bland and indifferent story, as if she was not telling her own story.

Jia Cong, who was sitting with him, couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart, and felt a little pity for the Lu family, but then disappeared without a trace.

This person is indeed a poor person, but if she can follow Lu Huan's will and let Liu Kan do those things that are inferior to beasts, she doesn't have to pity her.

"Lord Ji, I still know a secret, I don't know if the prince wants to listen to it?"

Lu Shi suddenly changed his words: "But before I said that, I wanted to ask Prince Ji for one thing...... Rest assured, it will definitely not embarrass Prince Ji. ”

Liu Huai frowned, and finally nodded in response.

I saw Lu Shi sneering and said slowly: "Lord Ji must be thinking about why I told these secrets without reservation today. That's because I hate Lu Huan, and I hate everyone with the surname Lu, including myself. ”

Lu Shi became hysterical again, laughing and scolding like crazy......

"The Lu family of Pingyang, a self-proclaimed family and a family heirloom of poetry and rites, is filthy and makes people want to vomit. They colluded with the Tartars, smuggled forbidden goods, passed information on behalf of the Tartars, and the Datong border pass was besieged several times, all of which were attributed to the Lu family. The most important thing is that there is another person behind the Lu family, that person's surname is Shui, the water ...... of the Beijing County Palace"
