Chapter 22: Help
"Butler, please go to the southeast chamber to tidy up, and Murong Engong will stay tonight. Lan Kun spoke.
The housekeeper was an old man in his fifties named Blue River. He was dressed in a simple green robe, and now that the old master had spoken, he immediately obeyed the order.
Murong Lie smiled slightly, arched his fist and said, "I'm tired of the old mansion master Lan." ”
"Anywhere, just stay, eat, drink, and wear. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Murong Gongzi, please!" the old butler Lan He bowed down and said the word of invitation respectfully. Then he also took the first step, and Murong Lie followed behind.
Not long after Murong Lie left.
Lan Kun breathed a sigh of relief, sat down slowly, and glanced at his daughter: "Luo'er, you have a great fortune today." ”
"Daddy......"
"Daddy doesn't blame you. After all, we are just an ordinary wealthy family. ”
At this time, a family member hurriedly entered the door, and then knelt on the ground respectfully, and said hurriedly: "Master, the county guard has posted." ”
"Oh, bring it up!" Lan Kun was obviously taken aback when he heard this, so he asked the family to present the post, and then took a closer look at it himself, after all, this was something given by the county guard.
The county guard is the military and political power of the entire state and Hangzhou, and the county guard has the right to cut first and then play in the state and Hangzhou.
No one in the state dared to challenge the authority of the county guard.
His words are like holy decrees, who dares to disrespect them?
Lan Kun looked at the post information in his hand, and the original smiling expression was now replaced by a worried face.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Did Lord County Guard say anything in the post?" Lan Yanluo saw that his father's face was full of sorrow, not as energetic as he was just now.
And now it's also a little sad to be burned.
"Alas......" Thinking of this, it was as simple as sighing, he looked at his daughter Lan Yanluo, and only got up after a while, looked outside and said worriedly, "Daughter, this world, martial arts is respected, and every other year in the state of Hangzhou, there will be a big competition held by the county guard, and anyone in the state can participate, and the winner can enter the second round of the state hangqiu hunt! ”
"Daddy, I know this very well. Lan Yanluo knew his father's dilemma, and as the annual autumn hunting competition was about to begin, the worry was getting stronger and stronger.
"Luo'er, to participate in this autumn hunting competition, it stands to reason that especially the wealthy family, if it weren't for the martial arts family, I'm afraid no one would be able to participate in the autumn hunting competition, or they could pay for the monks to help. At present, there are probably only three families of wealthy families in Hangzhou, our state, who can have their own monks, namely the Li family, the Liang family, and the Gongsun family. They're the first or second place every year. But what about our Lan family?"
When Lan Kun said this, his face was full of pain, and the look of embarrassment was self-evident.
Even if Lan Kun doesn't say it, Lan Yanluo understands it very well in his heart,
After all, the Lan family occupies the latter, and it costs a lot of money to hire people, but they are not very good one by one, and they are directly eliminated in the first round, and there is no need to talk about the ending of the second round.
In the past four years, although the Lan family is rich and powerful, it is only good in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is only on the surface, I am afraid that some people are disobedient. Moreover, a wealthy family in the same line of work may be criticized, and those who are cynical and sneering will not be able to raise their heads after all, and they will lose their faces.
It can be seen that the state hangqiu hunting is not so simple!
"Now that the autumn hunt is about to begin, if we can't find a monk again, in this competition, we will lose again, and according to the city rules set by the county guard, our Lan family's wealthy position will be confiscated. Reduced to an ordinary household, at that time, it will also lose face because of this! In this way, in Hangzhou, there is no place for our Lan family to stand on it!"
It seems easy to invite a monk, but it is even more difficult.
Why, most of the monks are arrogant and have no one in their eyes, especially if you seek him in times of danger, I am afraid that it will be a great blackmail.
Needless to say, people with high strength may not be able to enter his eyes at all with this little money.
It's so hard to get someone out of the mountain!
At this point, Lan Kun is also quite helpless.
But now that the state hangqiu hunt has begun to be held again, at that time, what face do you have to stay in the position of a wealthy family?
The failure of the connection in the past four years was enough to make him extremely depressed, and he seemed helpless and miserable as if he had no power to return to heaven.
Alas, if you can't fight for it again this year, I'm afraid this Lan family will be gone sooner or later.
The Lan family, a wealthy family that the ancestors had worked so hard to develop, was cut off like this in their own hands, how could they be worthy of their ancestors.
"Daddy, now that we have no other way. ”
"Alas, the sky is going to kill me......" Lan Kun muttered, leaning weakly on the Taishi chair, his eyes stunned.
Thinking of Lord County Shou's post, he pinched his brows with a little headache, what was said in the post was clear, if he really couldn't find a good monk to help, then the Lan family was completely finished!
"Daddy......" Lan Yanluo looked at his father Lan Kun worriedly, he had been running around for the Lan family all his life, and he had worked hard for more than ten years to have the wealthy family that was as strong as a few years ago.
However, since the imperial court sent the post of county guard, the entire state and Hangzhou here have begun to change dramatically.
And at that time, the Lan family began to collapse!
Lan Kun stopped and motioned for Lan Yanluo to go down first, so that Zi'er could think here.
Lan Yanluo didn't need to say anything, glanced at his father, and then turned around and went out.
"If only there was a good monk who came to help. Lan Kun frowned tightly and muttered, and then he thought of Murong Lie.
I heard from my daughter that he was also a monk!
It's very good at dealing with those gangsters.
But I don't know where this person's realm is.
Now that the Lan family is extremely frustrated, it is difficult for the monk he is looking for to ascend to the sky, and under the urgency of the situation, he has to carefully consider Murong Lie.
No matter what, let him come forward to help the Lan family recover this situation.
If it does fail, then go with the flow......
But I wonder if Murong Lie will agree?
Thinking of this, Lan Kun helplessly supported his forehead again, feeling that his head was big.
Anyway, I have to ask Murong Lie tonight. See how he makes his choices.
If you agree, that's fine, if you don't, that's it.
After making up his mind, Lan Kun exhaled a breath of turbidity slightly, and now hope is to please, on this Murong Lie.
