Mrs. Lu Yao said: "At the beginning, he told my father that the Li family treated him for three days, and one day he would help the Li family for three years. After becoming the chief secretary, he put forward the idea of promoting commerce and suppressing agriculture, which was supported by the emperor, and the reform was carried out in the thirteen states, and the support policy for Jinju merchants was even more generous. ”

"Before the reform, although the Li family was the richest man in the world, it was not much stronger than several business giants such as the Xuantan Song family and the Qianzhou Mao family, but with the help of this great sikong, it was soaring, and soon opened up a gap with these families. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "I see. ”

Mrs. Lu Yao said: "However, during the reform, a large number of farmers and artisanal owners in the thirteen states went bankrupt, causing the people to complain, and the emperor was forced to weaken the policy. Hehe, in fact, the weak eat the strong, the fittest survive, those stupid people who don't know how to grasp the opportunity, just let them fend for themselves. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said coldly: "At this time, there is the army of King Yan in front of Jinzhou, and there is the King of Ganzhou in the back, and the situation is not optimistic, so in order to accumulate strength, the Marquis of Jinzhou doesn't care about the bandits harming the people, and lets the people fend for themselves, right?"

Mrs. Lu Yao said: "The underworld forces in northern Jin are intertwined, and it has been a long time, and the Marquis of Jinzhou has almost lost control of the three cities in northern Jin, and it is very unwise to provoke the strongest force in northern Jin, the Heaven and Earth Alliance. ”

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyuan glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You are accompanied by a beautiful woman, and your strength is naturally too much to use, and it is easy to deal with a group of small thieves, right?"

Lu Xiaoyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not necessarily, if it weren't for your sister, you would have sent someone to help, and Miss Zhou and I would have been poisoned by bandits." ”

Mrs. Lu Yao sighed: "You men are all like this, all of you are very flowery, and there are very few single-minded people like Han Sikong. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Which man is not tempted to see a beautiful girl? Of course, the more beautiful women, the better, as long as you treat them wholeheartedly, that's it." ”

Mrs. Lu Yao put her hand on her cheek, looked Lu Xiaoyuan up and down, and said with a smile: "With your body, how many women can you handle? ”

Lu Xiaoyuan looked at her exposed white jade legs, couldn't help but be emotional, and shouted, "Then let you taste the master's power!"

Mrs. Lu Yao jumped up from the chair, dodged away, and said with a smile: "What I don't lack the most is a handsome and strong man, who is rare about you?"

Lu Xiaoyuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Okay, since you won't let me touch it, then I'll go find Zhou Ying." ”

Mrs. Lu Yao said, "It's better not to look for her." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Why?"

Mrs. Lu Yao walked up to him, stretched out her hand and stroked his face, and said, "She still doesn't know your true identity, right?

Lu Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly: "I don't know, I just said it casually, but I was exposed by you." ”

Mrs. Lu Yao grinned and said, "However, if you lie on the ground and let me ride as a horse, I will be happy and may reward you." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan feigned anger and said: "The man has gold under his knees, you dare to tease me like this." Hands tickled around her waist.

Mrs. Lu Yao chuckled, curled up in the chair, and finally begged for mercy after a while: "Okay, okay, good brother, I will obey you." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan stopped at this time, Mrs. Lu Yao stood up, sorted out her messy clothes, glanced at Lu Xiaoyuan with resentment, got down to business, told Lu Xiaoyuan the details of the Hanging Pot Villa, and said: "This trip is made by my cousin Li Zhijun and Cao Youlian, the Black Wing Immortal Envoy of the Raven God Sect. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "Crow God Sect, why have you never heard of it?"

Mrs. Lu Yao said: "It is an underground sect, and its actions are very secretive, so few people know about it. Their sect leader is called Zuwu, and there are three major witch gods under Zuwu, among which the great witch god Cao Wudao defected to the Marquis of Jinju, but it is not known where its headquarters are. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "Shame and shame, honesty is shameless, this group of monsters is really interesting, and they have some names of "no way" and "shameless". ”

On this day, in General Jianwu's mansion, Lu Xiaoyuan and his servant Liu Lei moved two small bamboo stools, a round table, set up a chess game, and played chess in the backyard. Liu Lei jumped the "horse" to the center line and formed an afterthought with the "cannon" behind him, which happened to be Lu Xiaoyuan's army.

Lu Xiaoyuan, Liu Lei smiled proudly: "This cannon is not good." "Stepped on Lu Xiaoyuan's cannon with his horse, and his own cannon put Lu Xiaoyuan in the army. Lu Xiaoyuan withdrew from the office, Liu Lei laughed, and jumped the horse back, still an afterthought.

Lu Xiaoyuan said "Huh", dumbfounded, his car was under the other party's horseshoe, if the branch was handsome, the car would be gone, and he said at the moment: "No, I went wrong." "He said he was going to move the chess pieces.

Liu Lei held down his hand and said, "Falling to the ground and blooming, there is no regret of chess." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Just this once." ”

Liu Lei said: "That's not good. One time is also regret, ten times is also regret, and regret is dishonorable. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "This is what you said, anyway, it is disgraceful, then I simply regret it ten times, this is the first time." Just as he was about to move Shuai and the horse back to their original positions, the doorman came to report: "General Yuan, there is a girl named Zhou Ying who wants to see you." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan stood up and said, "I, Yuan Liu, am bright and fair, and I have no regrets. But there are guests coming, I won't accompany you, and this game is even. "Lead the doorman outside.

He is the master, Liu Lei has nothing to say, flattens his mouth, and cleans up the chess game.

Zhou Ying was waiting outside the door, looking left and right, looking at the mansion, Lu Xiaoyuan greeted the door and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou, which fragrant wind blew you here?" ”

The two came to the backyard and sat opposite each other at the round table, Liu Lei had already withdrawn the chess game, brought tea, poured two bowls of tea, and went to do his own business.

Zhou Ying put a few porcelain jars on the table and said, "Thanks to you for helping my family solve the trouble that day, this is a little thank you from my family." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "What is this?"

Zhou Ying said: "It's my homemade canned food, one is pork, one is hawthorn, and the other is yellow peach." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan took off the lid, leaned up and sniffed deeply, and praised: "It's so fragrant, who made it?"

Zhou Ying said: "My father and mother made it." It's all worthless stuff, just eat it if you like. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "You are too modest, if you let the two of you become chefs, you will definitely be more popular than the chef of your Immortal Crane Residence." ”

At this time, the sun was shining high, and there were some sunshine people, Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk." Carrying the porcelain jar into his room, he pointed to the chair and said to Zhou Ying, "Please take a seat." "I went out and brought in the tea.
