Chapter 243: The Lu family fights for power
It was late at night, so everyone went back to rest first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Early the next morning, Chen Feng started the renovation of the Lu family's mansion.
Without going around to the next street, he jumped in directly from the backyard, and Chen Feng took Qin Ling, An Le and Dugu Huang to visit the mansion together.
This house is very large, there are a total of eighteen main rooms in the backyard, the back garden is much larger than the backyard of the inn, and then the front is the main hall, and there are many rooms on the left and right.
Just to seal the door of the mansion, the backyard becomes the front yard, and the front yard becomes the back garden. There is no way to turn the buildings in the mansion in a different direction, so some rooms still have to be rebuilt and reassigned.
This project is big to say, but it can actually be completed in ten days. The general layout did not need to be changed, and the houses in the original courtyard were used by the people of Ma Delu, Lu Han and Ah Da, so that they were close to the inn and easy to take care of back and forth. The original back garden has become a practice venue, which is called a martial arts field. There is no need to renovate, there is a spacious flat land itself, and you can even practice among the flowers, maybe it will have a different taste.
There is a main room in the backyard house, which was originally lived by Han Qi, and the size is as good as the main hall. The houses where everyone lives are on both sides of the main hall, and many of them are vacant, which can be used for both people and other functional rooms in the future.
As for the original front yard, it is naturally for Chen Feng and his two wives to live, and the hall will be transformed into a large room, and there will be no problem with a few more people to live.
Although Qin Ling proposed that he and An Le live in other rooms, Chen Feng disagreed, so as not to be alienated between husband and wife, and there was nothing wrong with everyone living together.
After the renovation, the rooms on both sides of the main house can be turned into wing rooms, with a total of six rooms, which can be inhabited by other people, such as elders like Dugu Huang. What's more, there is a peerless master living nearby, which makes Chen Feng feel safe.
The original courtyard in front of the main hall naturally became the back garden, and the whole mansion was renovated, and the names of the front yard and the back yard will be changed in the future.
Speaking of which, Chen Feng, the second shopkeeper, is a little incompetent. The mansion is very large, and the backyard where he lives is some distance from the inn lobby, so it is not good to take care of the inn's business. But it doesn't matter, because Ma Delu and Lu Han are here, Chen Feng doesn't need to worry about the business of the inn, not to mention that there are not many people who come to the inn to patronize.
Let the craftsmen renovate here, invite more people, and you can gamble on the original door in one day, and roughly arrange the various rooms, and there is no problem to move in.
It's just that when the gate was sealed, the owner of the mansion on the opposite side stopped doing it. Everyone was originally facing each other across the street. If you seal the door now and change the layout of the mansion, it will be tantamount to making people face your ass, and some people who care about feng shui will naturally get angry.
Chen Feng explained bitterly that it still didn't work, but he didn't expect Jinyiwei's people to come at this time. I don't know how they got the news so quickly, and they came to help Chen Feng. coercion and temptation made the owner of the opposite mansion shut up. The owner is just a businessman, his business is not as big as the Lu family, and his status is not high, how can he withstand the intimidation of the Lu family.
Jin Yiwei left after intimidating, and he didn't even say hello to Chen Feng. The Lu family's hospitality seems to have gone too far, and now Chen Feng is not sure what the Lu family's plans are.
At night, the door has been sealed, everyone's room can basically be occupied, and the meal is in the renovated main hall, but there are still people in the inn who have to keep their hands. Now that there are more people, it is easier to assign work. The four of Ah Da have learned martial arts, and they are more dependent on and trust Chen Feng, so they can naturally rest assured that they can do some things.
After eating, Chen Feng went to Duguhuang's room to chat and told what happened during the day.
"Uncle Huang, what do you say the Lu family wants to do?"
Dugu Huang said with relief: "You don't have to worry too much, the Lu family can do whatever they want, as long as they don't set foot in the mansion anymore." One thing you may not know is that the situation of the Lu family is very complicated. ā
"How complicated?" Chen Feng was interested.
Dugu Huang said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and some things are just hearsay. The highest martial arts of the Lu family is the second master, and he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but the head of the family is the eldest master, and the problem is here. ā
"Could it be that the second master wants to take the position of the head of the family?" Chen Feng said in surprise. People in the royal family want to compete for the throne, and it is normal for people from a large family to compete for the position of head of the family.
Dugu Huang shook his head: "You guessed both right and wrong, the eldest master is already the head of the family, so his position is unshakable, the problem is that he is old, who will inherit his position in the future." ā
"Of course, it's the eldest son of the eldest master. Chen Feng said without thinking.
Dugu Huang shook his head again: "No, the inheritance method of the head of the Lu family is very special, and it is very cruel......"
The reason why there are few people in the Lu family is because the inheritance of the family is extremely cruel. Other families have a main family and a separate family, but the Lu family only has the main family, because when the head of the family is determined, the Lu family will only retain the head of the family, including the brothers of the head of the family, and their children. As for the others, they will be expelled from the Lu family by abolishing their martial arts, and they will not be allowed to teach any martial arts to the next generation.
And the successor of the Lu family is the head of the family who chooses the strongest martial arts in the next generation to be elected. Let's just say that the current Lu family, the old master died early, the eldest master and the second master are not very old, and the second master is the kind that has accumulated a lot of money, so the martial arts at that time and time were not as good as the big master, and the eldest master naturally became the head of the family.
Now the second master's martial arts have surpassed the eldest master, but it is too late, but the next generation of family heads has become a problem. As soon as the eldest lord dies, the next generation in the main family has the right to inherit, including the children of the second and third masters. Although the head of the family can designate a person with the strongest martial arts to inherit before he dies, the problem is that the strongest martial arts are now the children of the second master. If the second master becomes the head of the family, then the children of the eldest master and the third master will definitely be expelled from the house by abolishing martial arts.
The Lu family wants to protect the brother of the head of the family, so as to ensure that the family has enough masters. Other cousins and the like, naturally, are not protected. Even if the eldest master wants to protect his children, how can the second master, who has higher martial arts, agree?
Therefore, the dispute between the head of the Lu family is very cruel, especially during the time period when a head of the family is about to end. Everyone will compete with each other and will not want to suffer their next generation.
The current head of the family will not sit idly by and watch his brother's children take power, and a bloody storm is indispensable. If you want to fight for power, you must have enough strength, so the Lu family can always create people with strong martial arts, which is also a good thing in this regard.
Chen Feng couldn't help but ponder: "Third Master Lu came to offer his affection, and Second Master Lu, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, also came to help him, it seems that I have become a sweetheart, so I sent the head of the Lu family to visit me." ā
Dugu Huang smiled: "Don't be too optimistic, after all, this is just a speculation, do you think you can influence the power struggle of the Lu family?"
Chen Feng smiled embarrassedly: "I naturally don't have this strength." ā
Dugu Huang nodded: "It's good to be self-aware, as I said before, let's leave the affairs of the Lu family alone." They can do whatever they want, let them help us if they want to, but we don't have to exchange any interests with them, and we will never allow the Lu family to use us. ā
Chen Feng said goodbye and left, judging from the current situation of the Lu family, at least he didn't have to worry too much about their revenge. Chen Feng participated in the special family banquet of the royal family, and Lu Erye, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, must know the news, and in the face of a concubine who was entrusted by the emperor, the Lu family did not need to touch their own heads.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Ah Er flew over and happened to meet Chen Feng, who was about to enter the room.
"Big brother, there is a sneaky person outside the inn, I arrested him, and now he will be tied up in the inn lobby, please send it!"
The title of eldest brother was given to them by Chen Feng, so they can't be called the master. As for the four of them, they are equals, and they can just call each other by their names.
When Chen Feng heard that he had tied people up, his face suddenly turned dark, and it seemed that he still had to teach them more ways to deal with things.
went to the inn with Ah Er, and along the way Chen Feng instructed: "Don't be so reckless in the future, let him wander when people are hanging outside, as long as you don't enter the inn, don't shoot at will, just monitor those people." ā
When I came to the lobby of the inn, I saw a young man who was tied up with five flowers, and his mouth was gagged, and he couldn't even speak. Look at him neatly dressed, he doesn't look like a small.
Chen Feng took off the strip of cloth from his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"
The man said excitedly: "My name is Wang Sicong, I am a student of the Tai Hospital, and I am a member of the Wang family in Hangzhou......!"
