Chapter 29: Lu Qian relented

Lu Qian looks like a talent, wearing an ordinary official uniform of Yu Hou, which can be seen to be carefully tailored, making Lu Qian look much younger than his actual age. Lu Qian had a bright and sincere smile on his face, and greeted everyone as soon as he entered the store, even the shopkeeper who stood at the door to greet customers; Yang Zhi did not pay attention to Lu Qian's smile, but Lu Qian's eyes, which had a little bit of cold and terrible things in them.

Even if Yang Zhi only saw this, it was enough, no matter how many reasons Lu Qian had, his own greed was the premise of becoming someone else's minions. Yang Zhi waited for Lu Qian to sit down, and said straight to the point: "I heard that Brother Lu has been to the Humble House a few times, but unfortunately the younger brother was wronged in prison at that time and did not treat Brother Lu well. ”

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Where did you mention this?"

Yang Zhi smiled and said a date, and when Lu Qian was thinking about how to deny it, Chao Long coughed and said, "The eldest husband dares to act." The old man promises that no matter how much the things in the store are said in a few days, as long as you have the sincerity to reconcile, you will be written off from now on."

Chao Long's identity made Lu Qian even more nervous, Yang Zhi knew a clear date, which meant that his whereabouts fell in the eyes of others, and it seemed that Chao Long was also an insider. Lu Qian's sluggishness fell in the eyes of Chao Long and Dou Jian, and he knew that what Yang Zhi said was true, and even the guy who served the food, Deng Beggar, showed a look of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

Chao's restaurant has only three kinds of dishes, the braised pork slices that can be shaved to illuminate the human figure, the Buddha jumping over the wall that is so fresh that people are reluctant to give up, and the sweet and sour carp with the fish head still moving; Chao Long took the lead in moving his chopsticks and said, "The three of you haven't come to eat for a long time, the last time you came Dou Jian, it was nine months ago, and Yang Zhi and Lu Qian haven't been there for many years. ”

Chao Long said with melancholy, Yang Zhi hurriedly stood up and apologized: "Chao Lao, it is the younger generation who is confused, and he will be punished with a jar of wine here." ”

Lu Qian and Dou Jian both thought that Yang Zhi was playful, but they didn't expect Yang Zhi to really walk to the wall, pick up a five-pound wine jar and come back, and drink it when he lifted it; before crossing Yang Zhi could drink a pound of old white dry, Bianliang Village brewed like wine, Yang Zhi thought he was fine, but he didn't expect that the wine in the altar was mellow and fragrant, and the concentration of wine was higher than that of Zhihe wine.

Waiting for five catties of wine to be eaten, Yang Zhi only felt comfortable and drowsy, and the Great Song Dynasty was full of wine made of grain, just like that, Yang Zhi did not feel a headache at all. Deng beggar praised the good amount of wine, since Deng beggar has been a partner for so many years, Yang Zhi is the only one who has not planted a jar of wine on the ground after drinking;

Yang Zhi looked at Lu Qian and smiled, Lu Qian was very embarrassed, he knew that people like Chao Long wanted face, and he valued the attitude of outsiders very much, if he couldn't make Chao Long satisfied, it would be more or less difficult to say if he passed it out. Chao Long has retired for many years, but many of the people trained by Chao Long are now serving in the forbidden army and the Privy Council, who knows what kind of moth will come out, but if he is as bold as Yang Zhi, Lu Qian can't do it.

Chao Long greeted the beggar Deng: "Help Yang Zhi to the backyard to rest, and let the kitchen make him a bowl of hot and sour soup to sober up." ”

Lu Qian immediately understood what Chao Long meant, and his heart was overjoyed, Chao Long wanted Yang Zhi to discuss a result when he was not present, and then he came to tell Yang Zhi after he woke up, which was much better than Lu Qian saying it in person. Lu Qian waited for the beggar Deng to carry Yang Zhi into the back door, got up and saluted Chao Long respectfully: "Old Chao, don't hide it, Yang Zhi is right, I just don't admit it, there is Dou Jian, a god who is arrested, and it can be found out." However, I am acting on orders in this matter, and it is a matter of military secrecy, so I cannot disclose it. ”

Dou Jian said leisurely: "You searched the Yang family, you shouldn't have found anything, so Yang Zhi was released?"

This is an extremely simple truth, if Lu Qian finds evidence of Yang Zhi's illegality, Yang Zhi should still be in the prison of the palace commander; although Lu Qian did not say his name, Dou Jian and Chao Long both knew that the person who ordered Lu Qian was the palace marshal Gao Yu. Lu Qian could only nod and admit it, Chao Long said in a deep voice: "That's easy to do, since Yang Zhi has no handle to worry, all he wants is the money of the Yang family, Lu Qian, it would be best if you can return it to him, if not, tell Yang Zhi the name of the person who gave the order, and let him go to the yamen to worry about himself." ”

Chao Long seemed to have helped Lu Qian a lot, but Lu Qian felt astringent in his mouth, if he said that name, wouldn't his future be ruined, and the hard work of the previous ten years was wasted. Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Old Chao, those things of the Yang family have been filed, so let's do it, I did it, how about I compensate the Yang family for a thousand taels of silver?"

One thousand taels of silver is definitely less, as the saying goes, a poor family is worth ten thousand, and Yang Zhi's family has been an officer for generations, so it is definitely not a poor family; Chao Long smiled lightly: "It's really worthless when people are old, and I can't imagine that the old man's face is worth a thousand taels of silver, and no matter what, this matter shouldn't be worried about by the old man." ”

After Chao Long finished speaking, he stopped talking, but just entertained the two of them to drink and eat; Dou Jian secretly complained in his heart that Lu Qian didn't know what to do, since he wanted to curry favor with Gao Yu, he was determined to settle things by himself, would he die if he had an extra thousand taels of silver? Dou Jian saluted Chao Long with a glass of wine and said: "Old Chao, you still have to worry about this matter, if Yang Zhi refuses to give up and goes to Manager Yang to talk nonsense, it will be very unfavorable to Lord Lu." ”

Manager Yang, that's Yang Jian, Yang Zhi and Yang Jian can still talk; Lu Qian only feels a headache, the little people are so sad, if they are not careful, they will get into trouble, and if they are not careful, they will have to carry the black pot. Lu Qian knew that Dou Jian would not lie about this matter, so he frowned and asked, "Does Yang Zhi really have this way?"

Dou Jian said unhurriedly: "Yang Zhi is now joining forces with Hua Zixu, the nephew of Eunuch Hua, to do business, and in a few days they will go to Yan'an Mansion, and the Weiyuan Dart Bureau is in charge of the bodyguards." ”

The last luck in Lu Qian's heart was broken, and he whispered: "Old Chao, Brother Dou, I am also embarrassed, all the property of the Yang family is only three thousand taels of silver, if I have a solid family, there is no problem to give a little more, but I am a little Yu Hou, there is so much money every month, you see, how about two thousand taels?"

It's really like a gathering, Gao Yu is a person with tight hands, I didn't expect Lu Qian to be a person with tight hands, but both of them want to do great things; ”
