Chapter 51: Coercion
By the time Lu Wenjing walked out of Saijiangnan, Goolan Hutong was already completely immersed in the night, the colorful lantern strings were lit up in various Qinglou and Le Fang, and the women's bewitching posture and seductive voices attracted the customers who came here to have fun, and money and desire were entangled and surging here.
"I always feel like I've forgotten something, what is it?"
After Lu Wenjing said goodbye to his mother, he stood in front of the gate and said silently.
"Brother Huaizhen!"
A familiar call made Lu Wenjing feel excited, and then he remembered that there was another friend who had been completely forgotten.
"With Brother Repair? I'm looking for you..."Lu Wenjing was saying, turning around and meeting Yang Shen, showing surprise, "You... What do you have on your face? ”
Yang Shen was stunned, quickly tore off the white note sticking to his face, and said with a bitter face:
"You've made me miserable, Brother Huaizhen..."
"What, those girls are abusing you?" Lu Wenjing asked with a smile.
"Don't mention it, after you left, those flower girls pulled me to a gambling house and played bamboo cards, and if I lost, I had to put a white strip on my face, and a white strip was ten taels of silver..."
"It seems that Brother Xiu's card skills are not very good, and he lost more than a hundred taels?"
Yang Shen's face was embarrassed:
"I don't have so much silver taels for them, so I can only pay them on credit."
Lu Wenjing quipped:
"In this way, it is better to use Brother Xiu to owe some romantic debts."
"It's not your bad idea..."
"Isn't it for the sake of your reputation, so I'll pay off your gambling accounts for you."
Yang Shen's face improved:
"Those are not important, the important thing is that Brother Huaizhen has gained anything from going deep into the tiger's den this time?"
Lu Wen nodded, "The sons of the Shen and Wang families were arrested by me, and when they are early tomorrow morning, they will be escorted to the country to confront the eunuchs, and when the time comes, the old bustard from the south of the Yangtze River will come forward, and the chance of winning can reach sixty percent." ”
"Sixty percent? Shouldn't it be a chance to win? Yang Shen was a little puzzled.
"You forget, these two people can enter the Guozijian, it all depends on the manipulation behind the Wang sacrifice wine, what I'm worried about is that Wang Yunfeng will not act in accordance with the regulations of the Guozijian..."
Yang Shen knew that Lu Wenjing was waiting for him to answer, and immediately said:
"My father won't go to the morning court tomorrow, I will try my best to let him go to the country to investigate."
Lu Wenjing smiled:
"If there is Yang Ge Lao here, of course it is foolproof."
Yang Shen breathed a sigh of relief, "I helped you this time, and we'll be clear." ”
"What's the two?" Lu Wenjing pretended not to know, "Brother Xiu doesn't owe me anything, and I have never persecuted you, right?" ”
Yang Shen was stunned.
That's right, from beginning to end, he Lu Huaizhen never said anything about coercion, in fact, he was in a hurry to get involved in his affairs.
In the eyes of others, I must be very... Cheap, right?
No, no, I'm all thinking about the big picture, how can I care about other people's eyes?
Just when Yang Shen was thinking nonsense, the two had already walked out of Goolan Hutong.
"With Brother Xiu, it's not too early, and there are still people waiting at home, so I won't bother." Lu Wenjing bowed his hand and prepared to say goodbye.
"Well... Okay, that... Shall we meet again tomorrow in Guozijian? ”
Lu Wenjing shook his head, "I have already done everything that should be done, and on that occasion tomorrow, it will be really difficult for the Lu family to come forward." ”
Yang Shen understood, and also gave up:
"Eliminate the two black sheep for the Guozijian, and I, Yang Yongxiu, can be regarded as doing a good thing for the world's scholars."
"When you say that, I'm relieved."
Lu Wenjing said with a smile, and after a few more words of advice to Yang Shen, the two were ready to part ways.
When Yang Shen turned around and took a few steps, Lu Wenjing suddenly stopped him again.
"Brother Huaizhen?"
"After the Lu family completely gets rid of the crisis, I will consider your Lize Society, but in my own name, it has nothing to do with the Lu family."
Lu Wenjing's words, while clarifying his attitude, also officially regarded Yang Shen as a friend.
Yang Shen's heart was shocked, and he responded:
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
......
After Lu Wenjing returned to the Lu Mansion, he immediately bumped into his father Lu Zhenji in the small tea house of the worship hall and gave him a reassuring pill first.
However, the acquisition of Saijiangnan for 100,000 taels did not reveal half a sentence.
Walking out of the worship hall, the housekeeper Liu Si greeted him.
"Young master, those two guys have been settled, and they are waiting in the firewood room, do you want to..."
"Let's go, go and interrogate, so as to find out the details of the Shen and Wang families... By the way, isn't the little donkey locked up in the firewood room, and his injuries are healed? ”
Liu Si replied:
"The injury is almost healed, the old slave originally wanted to let him meet the young master before leaving the house, but this kid was in a hurry to make meritorious service, and left without saying hello."
Lu Wenjing nodded, "The little donkey is a very key part of the plan, if he can bring down Jiaofu and turn the Lu family into a safe place, he will be indispensable." ”
Liu Si could no longer agree, and suggested:
"Since the little donkey is so important, do we have to arrange for some people to watch over it?"
"No... My gut told me that he would be able to do this, and that he should not do it too much. ”
"The old slave understands that everything is up to the young master."
The two chatted as they walked, and after a while, they walked in front of the firewood room of the Lu Mansion, and pushed the door in without the slightest hesitation.
At this time, the two sons of King Shen were tied to the pillar and had already passed out.
Liu Si found a stool, asked his young master to sit down, and then picked up a wooden bucket full of cold water and threw it at the two of them.
"Ahhh Uncle spares his life, uncle spares his life..."
"Stop fighting, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore..."
The screams were bursting, and the two sons were frightened, only to notice a person sitting in front of them, and after seeing this person's appearance clearly, they were almost frightened and peed their pants.
"Lu... Lu Dashao, you can do whatever you want us to do, don't kill us. Shen Gongzi begged.
Lu Wenjing smiled indifferently:
"Kill you? What's in it for me? Moreover, the Daming Law clearly stipulates that killing people is to pay for their lives. ”
"Since you don't kill us, when can you let us go back?"
"Soon, tomorrow morning, the two of them will be escorted to Guozijian, and everything has nothing to do with me, Lu Wenjing."
At the mention of Guozijian, Shen Gongzi's expression relaxed slightly, and he no longer answered.
And Wang Gongzi smiled:
"Lu Dashao, do you think that by sending us to Guozijian, you can punish us according to the prison rules?"
"Or else?" Lu Wenjing was funny.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, the prince of the country is a priest wine, Lord Wang is..."
Before the words could be spoken, Shen Gongzi exclaimed:
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Lu Wenjing pretended not to know and asked rhetorically:
"What's wrong with the sake priest?"
"He's just talking nonsense, Lu Dashao don't care..."Shen Gongzi sweated on his forehead.
Lu Wenjing chuckled:
"I believe that the prison regulations of the Guozijian are certainly not a dead letter, and no matter what unspeakable things the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice has, he will definitely act impartially."
Seeing that the two sons of King Shen were no longer speechless, Lu Wenjing cocked Erlang's legs and gave Liu Si an order:
"Interrogate them, let them spit out everything they know..."
