The white fat eunuch was dumbfounded, and he planned to give Lu Wenjing a little color to see, but he didn't expect to lose his own fat first.

"The jade shop is a place for us to receive filial piety from officials outside Beijing, once it is abolished, godfather... Oh no, the imperial court will make a million taels less silver in a year, but you can't lose it! ”

Liu Jin gave him a blank look:

"I thought I didn't know how much you had secretly taken from it. Don't worry about making money, there are many people with ulterior motives who say in the ears of the saint that our family is not, and it is time to be more restrained. You see, my godfather has also prepared a notebook, which is specially designed to impeach foreign officials who came to bribe me. ”

As he spoke, Liu Jin threw him a booklet.

The fat white eunuch looked at it for a long time, but said:

"Godfather, my son doesn't know how to read..."

Liu Jin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"You'll seal the shop tomorrow and go back to the celebrant tomorrow. Also, ask a gentleman to read all the words. ”

"Yes."

The fat white eunuch returned the booklet and retreated in a gloomy manner.

On one side, Zhang Wenmian wanted to speak and stopped.

Liu Jin's eyelids lifted:

"What do you have to say?"

"Master, it's about that son of the Lu family, didn't you say before that you want to control the trade routes of the whole country and integrate the merchant gang? The Jin Gang is the largest merchant gang in the north, and the Lu family is the chief of the Jin Gang, so you can fight for it. ”

Liu Jin laughed:

"Why do you think I only made him lose his fame in the first place, but didn't take his life?"

Zhang Wenmian was surprised:

"So at that time, you already had this plan?"

Liu Jin nodded:

"With my identity, it is inconvenient to negotiate with the Lu family, and this matter has been handed over to Jiao Ge Lao."

"Old Jiao Ge? I see..."

"Huh? What news have you found again? Liu Jin asked.

Zhang Wenmian stepped forward:

"Master, the slave heard that the Lu family captured a few thieves who set fire to Shuntian Mansion and sent them to Shuntian Mansion, and there are rumors that the thieves' behind-the-scenes instructions are related to Jiao Bianxiu."

"Scorched?"

"Exactly."

"How did the Jiao family deal with it?"

"Those thieves seem to have committed suicide, and Shuntian Mansion Yin brought the case to the Criminal Department..."

Liu Jin nodded, "Since the person is dead, it can be regarded as his Jiao family's business." ”

"The slave thinks that the Lu family is not easy to deal with, don't you..."

"No..."Liu Jin's expression was indifferent, "The Jiao family and his son have suffered such a big loss, they will definitely get back to the field, no matter how difficult the Lu family is to deal with, it is just a merchant family, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Zhang Wenmian echoed:

"What the master said is very true, and the slave is too worried."

"Hmm... It's already time, right? It's time for our family to go back to the palace, come on! ”

Liu Jin called softly, and Liu Quan, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion who had been standing outside the study for a long time, bowed down and flashed in, and said:

"Master, the minion is here."

"Let the sedan driver prepare."

"Yes."

After the housekeeper answered, he retreated, and Liu Jin was supported by Zhang Wenmian to get up and walk towards the outside of the study.

"Wen Mian, it's been almost four years since you came to Liu's Mansion, and in the past four years, you have made a lot of contributions to our family."

"The old man is serious, what the slave does is within his bounds, and if you want to say the credit, it is less than one-ten-thousandth of Lord Sun."

"Sun Cong? My brother-in-law has a lot of crooked ideas, but when it comes to pen work, he is not as good as you Zhang Wenmian. ”

"The lord praises falsely, and Wen Mian doesn't dare to be it."

"Our family originally wanted to reward you with something, but everything that should have been rewarded to you before was almost done, and it was just a fame away. If you hadn't left a few case records in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, we would have arranged a seat for you. ”

The two were talking, and when they went out of the house, the housekeeper Liu Quan stood in front of the sedan chair and stood with his bow.

"The slave is willing to serve Engong in the Liu Mansion, and it doesn't matter if he can't be a servant."

Liu Jin smiled with satisfaction, got into the sedan car, and said slowly before the curtain of the sedan door fell:

"Most people who know the times live a long life, and you Zhang Wenmian is one of them."

After giving Liu Quan a look, Liu Jin leaned back and hid his figure.

"Lift the sedan chair~" Liu Quan shouted, holding a lantern, and followed the sedan chair slowly towards the front yard.

Zhang Wenmian watched Liu Jin leave with a complicated expression, and his palms were already sweating...

......

Lu Mansion, Lu Zhenji's room.

The father and son talked at night, and before they knew it, it had passed.

The annual shareholders' meeting of the Jin Gang, as Lu Wenjing expected, became the Lu family's crusade meeting.

At the meeting, the other two of the three Jin Gang families, the Shen family and the Wang family, danced the most happily, not only accusing Lu Zhenji of acting arbitrarily in person, directly offending the Jiao family and Liu Gonggong, but also forcing the members of the Chamber of Commerce to stand in line to achieve the goal of isolating the Lu family.

"The Shen and Wang families are really unkind, and now when the Jin Gang is in difficulty, these two old guys not only don't think about the future of the Chamber of Commerce and stabilize people's hearts, but they also fall into the well and push my Lu family to the limelight."

Lu Zhenji frowned and said angrily.

"Dad doesn't need to move such a big anger, businessmen are already oblivious to profits, and it is normal for there to be disagreements within the Jin Gang."

Lu Wenjing was very calm, and as he spoke, he swallowed the melon seeds, and the melon seed skins in front of him were piled up into a small mountain.

Lu Zhenji looked at his son with an indifferent look, and thought that he didn't know what was powerful, so he said with a serious expression:

"Now among the Jin Gang, more than seventy percent of the shareholders are on their side, the situation is not optimistic, according to the rules, once ninety percent of the shareholders are dissatisfied with the Chamber of Commerce, they can be elected separately, and when the time comes, the Jin Gang will not be our Lu family."

Lu Wenjing smacked his lips, "So what?" Since the Jin Gang can't tolerate us, it's better to quit. ”

"Exit? You can figure it out..."Lu Zhenji sighed, "If you want to withdraw, you must sell your shares, the Lu family's century-old operation has only had such a scale as the Jin Gang, if you quit, it is equivalent to killing half of our lives..."

"I'm kidding, how can Daddy take it seriously. The Lu family is the founder of the Jin Gang, how can they easily give up the dominance? ”

Lu Zhenji heard that his son seemed to have something to say, and hurriedly asked:

"Son, you tell your dad the truth, you... Is there a way to deal with it? ”

Lu Wenjing smiled:

"Yes, yes, but I can't tell you beforehand."

"Why? It's a bit unauthentic for you to hide from Lao Tzu..."

"I'm afraid that Daddy, you don't have a door in your mouth, so you shook me out. Besides, your old man is a little too nostalgic, and he must be soft-hearted at the critical moment. Lu Wenjing said disdainfully.

"You kid..."

Lu Zhenji just wanted to go back, but Lu Wenjing interjected:

"Dad, didn't you leave the matter of dealing with the Jiao family to your son, so don't interfere sideways, right?"

"This is an internal affair of the Jin Gang, but it doesn't just involve the Jiao family, if you mess up Lao Tzu, not only will the Lu family lose all their money, but our Shanxi businessmen will also be greatly injured, you Lao Tzu and I don't want to be sinners for the ages."

Lu Wenjing yawned and got up:

"In that case, dad, you can figure it out by yourself, my son is sleepy and tired, go back to rest."

Lu Zhenji didn't expect his son to blackmail him, and he didn't think of a clever plan to break the siege for a while, so he could only say helplessly:

"Stinky boy, won't you sit down for me? I... I'll just ask. ”

"Hey~ This is my good father..."Lu Wenjing smiled and returned to his seat, "Don't worry, as long as my son goes out, no matter whether he is surnamed Shen or Wang, he has to kneel for me to be a man." ”

Seeing that he is full of self-confidence, Lu Zhenji doesn't know whether to rest assured or worried, no matter what, now he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, as long as his son doesn't do too much.

"Don't talk so much, five days later, it will be the time for the Jin Gang to vote internally, if the Lu family doesn't do something, the two families will definitely make a move."

"It won't take five days, my son only needs three days to shut them up completely."

After Lu Wenjing said this, he swallowed the melon seeds vigorously and made a crisp sound.

"It's so bitter, it's actually a bad one..."
