Chapter Seventy-Six: Questioning the Guilt
sent away Ciwang Yanheluo, and the next half a month was calm, and nothing messy happened.
Under the guidance of Yan Fu and Yan Bugui, Lu Chengfeng began to visit the important people in Jidu in an orderly manner. The suzerains of the Great Yan Dynasty, the current heads of several wealthy families, the three ministers and nine kings, and many courtiers such as Shangqing and doctors.
Half a month only allowed Lu Chengfeng to reluctantly straighten out these relationships, and he became familiar in front of the top figures of Jidu. To say that he really entered the core aristocratic circle of the Great Yan Dynasty, really had the relationships and power network that a duke should have, and truly grasped the power of the left Guozheng of the Great Yan Dynasty, Lu Chengfeng was still far away, and it would take a long time to operate.
Fortunately, the magnates of the Ninth Sect of the Great Yan Dynasty Sect with Yan Legong as the suzerain took the initiative to vote, and the members of the Ninth Sect led by Yan Jiuhui, including military generals, ministers of the imperial court, and members of special service organizations such as the Wind Patrol Division, dozens of powerful figures took the initiative to gather around Lu Chengfeng with blood as a link, so that he finally had a usable force.
Don't beg in the past half a month, he was also so busy that he hit his heels straight to the buttocks. He led the capable people supported by Yan Yanhui and others, and focused on counting Yan Legong's current accounts and inventory of money and goods, which can be regarded as roughly sorting out the sectarian affairs of the ninth sect.
It was also through this inventory that Beqi and Lu Chengfeng learned that the fiefs of the two counties of Yanle were not only the hereditary fiefs of Lu Chengfeng, but also the public assets of many branch families of the Ninth Sect. Sixty percent of the annual output in the fiefdom will be distributed by Lu Chengfeng to the magnates of the Ninth Sect, and some clans that do not have positions in the court rely entirely on this money to get by.
And the forty percent of the income left by Lu Chengfeng is not completely owned by him alone. If there are three calamities and five tribulations in the sect of the Ninth Sect, and there is a headache and brain fever, and he needs to spend a lot of money but is unable to do it, Lu Chengfeng, the new sect master, will have to take out money from his own money bag to share the worries and problems of the clan.
The Great Yan Dynasty has been established for more than 2,000 years, and the descendants of the Ninth Sect are only Lu Chengfeng, who is a lonely family, and there are more than 8,000 people surnamed Yan, and the number of these clansmen's personal guards, servants, maids, etc., adds up to more than 400,000. Among the more than 8,000 people surnamed Yan, there are only a few hundred jīng Ying children like Yan Jiuhui and Yan Bugui, and the rest are mediocre people who will only spoil money.
It took half a month to easily straighten out these messy affairs and relationships, Beqi and Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but look at each other, and finally the two looked up to the sky and sighed together. Originally, the two of them thought that they had picked up a big bargain, but now they know that they are in a big trouble.
Holding a cup of tea and sitting on the steps of the lobby of the mansion with Erlang's legs crossed, Lu Chengfeng took a sip of tea and sighed: "I thought that if I inherited this position, I would be rich and happy, and I would be happy for a lifetime, how do you know that there are so many troubles?"
Beg sat side by side beside him, and also crossed Erlang's legs and sighed: "Yes, the proton of the country, the prince of a dignified country was slaughtered by us." Yan Heluo, the king of mercy, was covered in blood by us. The Great Patrol of the Stroke Guard Qin Qingshui seems to be very hostile to us. There are more than 8,000 people in the ninth sect, and there are countless large and small sect affairs, and they have to handle their birth, old age, sickness and death with one hand. Hey, why bother?"
Shaking his head, Lu Chengfeng said in a deep voice: "That's it, if you come, you will be safe." On the side of Xiaomengcheng, you have to send capable people to keep an eye on it, and the annual output there is not a small number. I have already written to my mother that Sanshan County, where Xiaomeng City is located, will be my private territory in the future. ”
Beqi frowned, and he said softly: "Let it go for the time being, there will be no chaos on the side of Xiaomeng City for a while." When there are more available people in Childe's hands, let's send a powerful henchman to rush over. The soldiers mobilized from there must hurry over, otherwise the little guard in Gongzi's hands will not be enough. Childe's father was assassinated, and the specific reason has not been found, and Childe's safety must not be ignored. ”
The two of them chatted here, gradually sorting out a clue about what had happened recently, and also made a general plan for the future development strategy. Now everything seems to be going well, as long as the friends from the Lu family invited by Lu Chengfeng come to Jidu, and there are a group of available people under him, some of the current troubles can be solved.
There is no one at hand, and now Lu Chengfeng has to write the prayers of those court nobles when he goes out to visit them, which is too unusual.
When the conversation was hot, Yan Fu lowered his head and rushed in quickly with a clearly visible palm print on his face. Respectfully saluted Lu Chengfeng, Yan Fu said bitterly: "Lord, there are people from outside the mansion who are visiting, but they are menacing, and it seems that it is not easy to deal with, please be careful." ”
Casually throwing the teacup to the old black hand standing beside him, Lu Chengfeng stood up angrily and shouted: "Who is so rude?
Yan Fu is a servant of the Yanle Mansion, and he has served as the chief steward of the Yanle Mansion for nearly a hundred years, which can be described as conscientious and loyal. When Lu Chengfeng first came to Jidu, he was still a little worried about Yan Fu's old stewards, but after a period of observation, especially after Yan Cheng used the power of the Wind Patrol Division to cooperate with the investigation, he found that the loyalty of Yan Fu and other stewards of the Yanle Mansion was absolutely impeccable.
For such a loyal and reliable old man in the house, Lu Chengfeng is more and more dependent. Now that Yan Fu has been slapped in the face, this is not beating Yan Fu, it is clearly hitting Lu Chengfeng in the face.
Yan Fu smiled bitterly, lowered his voice and said, "Lord must be careful, the visiting people are extremely arrogant, and it seems that they are intentionally looking for trouble. The people who followed her were all the guards of the Wind Patrol Palace. ”
In addition to the four major wind guards in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, the Wind Patrol Division also has a dúlì department, which is the palace guard. The people in this palace guard are all one in ten thousand, and they are specially responsible for protecting important people in the clan. Generally speaking, palace guards would only appear around the clansmen of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The so-called grandson of the Great Yan Dynasty is the eldest son of Yan Emperor Yan Dan and the crown prince of the Great Yan Dynasty. The palace guards are specifically responsible for protecting Yan Dan's crown prince, the prince's son is the emperor's grandson, and the emperor's grandson's eldest son. According to the rules of the Great Yan Dynasty, the palace guards are the palace guards who serve the future prince of the Great Yan Dynasty.
As soon as he heard that the person who beat Yan Fu was followed by the palace guards, Lu Chengfeng's face was a little ugly.
Beg sneered again and again: "What about the people of the Yan Sect? Yan Fu, did he report his name and origin?"
Yan Fu lowered his head and said cautiously: "Mr. Beggar, that person is very fierce, and when they met, he slapped the old slave and a few children, saying that he wanted the lord to go out to greet him personally, but he didn't tell his identity." However, no one dared to pretend to be the palace guards around her. ”
Beqi and Lu Chengfeng glanced at each other, Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly, beckoned Xiao Hei to gather a group of guards, and brought Yan Bugui, who hurried to hear the news, and the group hurriedly walked towards the gate of the mansion.
Bypassing a few pavilions and walking through the big courtyard behind the mansion, everyone just walked to the shadow wall behind the main gate, and heard a delicate woman's voice outside the door: "Your Yan Legong is really too high-eyed, it's been so long, and you haven't gone out to greet the guests, don't you put the palace in your eyes?"
A crisp slap sounded out, and it seemed that someone had been slapped again. Lu Chengfeng's face changed again, and he hurriedly quickened his pace, and rushed out of the mansion in a few steps.
Outside the gate of the Yanle Mansion, nearly a hundred palace guards wearing blue and black sè soft armor were surrounded by a gorgeous four-wheeled vehicle. The twelve gatekeepers of the Yanle Mansion knelt down at the foot of the steps in front of the door, and were being slapped one by one by two girls dressed as maids. More than a dozen guards in front of the palace wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were blocked by those palace guards, and the two sides were tense, and they could shoot at any time.
"Stand down!" Lu Chengfeng snorted softly, and the guards of more than a dozen dukes hurriedly took a few steps back. Those palace guards were inch by inch, and they approached with a smile on their faces, chasing these guards all the way to the steps in front of the mansion.
Beg snorted coldly and stomped his foot hard.
Meng Xiaobai, who was following closely behind Lu Chengfeng, shouted, and together with a few guards from Mengcun, they picked up their iron guns and rushed forward. The iron spear with the thickness of the small bowl swept forward, bringing up the sound of 'whirring', forcing the dozen or so palace ban health students who stepped on the steps down. The two maids who were smiling so hard that their eyes narrowed into a line, and they were slapping the porter, exclaimed, and hurriedly fled to the side of the car, looking at this side and muttering a few words in a low voice.
"Yo, if you want to see Yan Legong, is it really difficult?" came the delicate female voice from the car driver. Bei Qi frowned, this woman's voice sounded very familiar, exactly the same as the woman's voice that released the demon and Bei Qi on the night when Lu Chengfeng was attacked half a month ago.
Lu Chengfeng snorted, strode down the steps, pulled up the porter whose faces were beaten to the brim, and said coldly: "Yan Fu, give each of them a reward of ten ingots of silver, and go back to recuperate for a month." ”
Yan Fu responded, he glared at the driver fiercely, and hurriedly beckoned the porters to retreat into the mansion. The concierge of Yanle Mansion is also the son of the house, who has been a slave and a servant in the house for generations, Yan Fu treats these people as his own children, and today he was slapped inexplicably, Yan Fu is heartache and anger.
"Ten ingots of silver, Yanle Mansion is really rich!"
The woman in the car sneered: "Then, this palace is not welcome." A few lowly porters, Yan Le Gong can reward ten ingots of silver, the guards around the palace have been killed so much by your doormen, and the demon guards close to the palace have also been seriously injured, Yan Le Gong will compensate five million gold. ”
Five million gold?
Lu Chengfeng and Beqi were taken aback, Jidu had hundreds of thousands of city defense troops, including ordnance, armor and other military materials, and the total annual expenditure was less than one million gold. Five million gold as compensation, the lion's big mouth is not like this.
Don't beg sneered again and again: "Whoever is the master, please come out and speak!"
The woman sneered and sneered: "Oh, this palace is still afraid that you won't be able to do it? Come out and speak, then come out and speak! This palace is here to ask for the crime, if you don't give this palace an explanation today, this palace guarantees that you will not be able to move an inch in the thistle capital!"
The door on the side of the car suddenly opened, and a slender figure walked out slowly.
Well, it's almost dinner, and the pig's head is still in the code word, code word, code word!
May Day, 150,000 words, save the manuscript!
Comrades, the pig's head looks up to the sky and roars -- vote! Votes, votes, votes!
The bloody plot is coming!
