[Plane] History of the struggle of the lords

The atmosphere in Wei's mansion suddenly became tense, and the nurses swarmed up after hearing the order, but how can there be elite soldiers trained by Wen Le in those nursing homes who are capable?

Seeing that the nursing home was taken down one after another, Wen Le held a saber across Lu Tangchun's neck, and said with a pleasant smile, "Little uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Wei Wanjiang wanted to give himself a slap right now, for no reason he got into such a fearless person, all because he was so obsessed and thought he was easy to dismiss!

Seeing that the nursing home in his mansion was defeated, he was worried that Wen Le's trembling men would really take his brother-in-law's life away, so he could only wink to his confidant and ask him to go to the mansion to rescue soldiers, and he held his breath and put down his airs: "I I'm also worried about accidentally hurting someone's life in a moment of impatience. Le'er, to save my uncle, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

The smile on Wen Le's face disappeared, and she said aggressively: "Little uncle's words are really interesting! From the moment you enter the door, you should break open the door and see where I didn't save face for you! I don't believe him Lu The power of the family is so powerful that it can cover the sky with one hand! Even the little uncle didn't know what he did, and let them take Fuchun officials into custody. Fuchun business and trade Yin received a dignified court salary, and the official residence was fifth rank! If you don't save face, As soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I should ask you what kind of ability you used to put him in prison!"

Wei Wanjiang's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and bowed his head in silence.He really didn't pay attention to Fuchun's fifth-rank official. The place is different. The small fish and shrimps in his Jiangnan area are more capable than those so-called county officials, but this unspoken rule makes people mouth In the end, it was more severe than a slap in the face.

Knowing that Wen Le didn't intend to be kind, his feet felt weak, and he felt guilty: "What you said is really ugly. We are relatives, and we have been related for more than ten years. I grew up with you. Do I still intend to embarrass you?"

Wen Le sneered: "I don't know about that. I only see that now you want to stop me from killing this thief."

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, Wei Wanjiang felt a little more at ease, straightened his back a little, and his expression was gloomy: "Le'er, you are young and vigorous, and now you do these things, in the face of the elders, I don't take it seriously. Go. But in Lin'an, the decision is not as simple as you imagined. Uncle advises you, sometimes be patient and endure, and the strong dragon will not suppress the local snake."

Wen Le was full of pride: "It's okay, I don't believe that this mere Lu family can do anything to me!"

The uproar was getting closer while speaking, Wei Wanjiang said: "Look, it's not that my little uncle intends to embarrass you. Do you know that Fuchun's government is supported by the local chamber of commerce? If you want to kill someone from his Lu family, the Lu family will never Sitting there waiting to die."

"My lord!!!!!!"

There was a burst of shouting at the door, Wen Le sighed, and when he turned his head, he saw Liandong striding in, followed by a neat line of officers and soldiers, all wearing soft armor, with an imposing manner.

Wei Wanjiang froze for a moment, the color faded from his face in an instant, and his face was as white as paper.

These are not the officers and soldiers of the Yamen, but the soldiers of Lin'an Bing Masi!

His mind was spinning fast at the moment, and he was forced by the situation to make it clear at one point, yes!Mr. Wen San was in charge of the salt administration in Lianghuai in the past, and he had a lot of power for a while. Although he went, it is possible that there are not a few people who have been favored by him!

Miscalculated!Miscalculated!

He didn't take this variable into account from the very beginning!The Lin'an Bingma Division is under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Military Department, and even the military pay is never paid from the government office. Even though he is a parent official in this land, he only has the authority to mobilize a few officers and soldiers by order.He really never linked everything about Bingmasi with Wen Le, how could he have forgotten that the governor of Bingmasi was once a follower of Mr. Wen's subordinates!

Wei Wanjiang was almost scorched by this shocking thunder, so he didn't dare to think about anything else, and quickly changed his face again, bending over softly to coax Wen Le: "Le'er, Le'er, if you move here today Bing Ma Si, the influence will be too great, for the sake of my brother-in-law, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! You hold your hands high, this time? Will you? Just this time!"

Wen Le avoided him, with a face full of sarcasm: "I can't bear the promise of my little uncle. I can see what his attitude is just now. What answer should I give? Let him send some money like a beggar? Or tell me?" Sorry? It's late!"

Seeing officers and soldiers pouring into the mansion, although Wei Wanjiang knew that these people would not dare to hurt him, he also understood that they would never sell their face!These reckless men only listen to military orders. If they succeed, I will lose the support of the Lu family, and I am afraid that my official position will be even more shaky!

At this moment, he didn't care about the price to pay, and he opened his mouth full of promises: "You believe me this time, I will never lie to you. How much money do you want, I will let the Lu family buy his life with money, and put him in prison." Let the colleague in the house let him out now, and let the head of the Lu family personally serve us wine to make amends. What do you think?"

Wen Le raised the corners of her lips, turned her head and said to Liandong, "Take that person away from the ground, I'm tired, I'll find a place to rest today."

Wei Wanjiang looked at him eagerly, and Wen Le looked down on him more and more, but after grasping his shortcomings, there is no need to be afraid of him, he is no longer the one who is anxious now.

"How about this, my little uncle went to discuss with the Lu Mansion, how much is this person's life worth? If I am satisfied, I will spare his dog's life. If I am not satisfied, then forget it. I don't have so much time here to talk to you. You bargain." Seeing that Wei Wanjiang's expression became more and more disturbed, he continued, "Besides, you should wash my people respectfully and return them to me. It's best if you don't have missing arms, broken legs or hair, otherwise... just, I'm lazy. to scare you."

After finishing speaking, he turned his hands away, turned around arrogantly, and led away.

Lu Tangchun was dragged into the ranks of officers and soldiers like a piglet, and the crowd who had only been here for a short time dispersed in a short time.

Tuliu Wei Wanjiang stood in the courtyard with cold sweat on his forehead, his heart was in a mess.

……

Mai Lingtong was carried to the inn where Wen Le was staying in eight palanquins. It was the first time he had received such treatment in his decades of life.Surrounded by beautiful maids, he took a bath for nearly an hour, massaged, skin care, and even his toenails were trimmed, packed in a cloth bag and scented, and returned to him. It was so frivolous that it was unimaginable, he sat in front of Wen Le with a scent, still reminiscing about the sudden enjoyment just now.

Seeing his hopeless appearance, Wen Le rolled her eyes: "What? Do you want to live forever?"

Mai Lingtong was stunned: "But this is too polite. If you want to say that the people in this place really enjoy their lives, he is only a mere magistrate, but his life is not worse than the emperor's. How..."

Wen Le knocked him on the head with a fan: "Are you jealous? Instead of envious of others, if we do business well, we may not be worse off than them. Someday someone will envy you like this."

Mai Lingtong stood up, his face full of emotion: "If it wasn't for the lord's sympathy, I would not be able to escape the danger this time. I have a humble life and a low life, and the lord came to Lin'an in person. This is a great kindness. Great Virtue, you must never forget your teeth!" After he finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed his head firmly for the first time in a show of loyalty.

He was really frightened.

Fuchun is a poor place, he hasn't been out much, so naturally he rarely sees too many things outside.It was the first time he entered the prison in Lin'an, saw the various instruments of torture in the prison, and could hear the groans and screams from the next cell day and night. In the dark prison, he could be said to have tasted all the world , I don't want to go in again in this life.

Not to mention, the life in the cell is really not as easy as Wen Le imagined. There are countless people who are scared and stupid after entering for a few days. Mai Lingtong is relatively able to bear it.

Wen Le helped him up, and sighed: "You are the person I need the most, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a confidant. If something happens to someone else, I will definitely not go all the way for it. These days, you suffered."

Tears welled up in Mai Lingtong's eyes, and he was completely moved.

Wen Le despises himself for always bullying honest people, it's okay to make Dala cry every time, but this time even Mai Lingtong was made to cry by him.To be honest, he came to An'an not only for the safety of Mai Lingtong, but he would still be a little worried after all things like business were handed over to his subordinates.

I forgot that the magistrate here was the Wei family, but now that I remembered, he couldn't help but come.Lin'an is such an economically important place, and he was really not convinced just because Wei Wanjiang asked him to give up.Today, there is only Dadu as the choice comparable to Lin'an, but if the stolen goods are sold in Dadu, there will be endless troubles under the eyes of the emperor.No matter how you think the Wei family is better than the emperor, this bullying family doesn't know much about their own secrets, so they definitely don't have the guts to bring the matter to the court.Local affairs are settled locally. Once he wins the magistrate, everything about opening a shop will be smooth.

Family?What about the family?Wei Wanjiang didn't dare to help the emperor, and he, a family of merchants, never had the guts to embarrass himself.The Lu family is Wei Wanjiang's weakness!To toss Wei Wanjiang and attack his wife's family is easier than dealing with him himself!

Wen Le's guess was right. Except for a few who couldn't figure it out, most of the Lu family knew how to assess the situation.

The master Lu Changan reprimanded Wei Wanjiang, stomping on his walking stick: "Stupid! Who told you to embarrass others for no reason? Are you okay now? Lose your wife and lose your army!"

Lu Tangchun's mother is the serious wife of the Lu family. This sweet-talking young man is the most loved by her, and it is tantamount to being spoiled by her for life.

Mrs. Lu burst into tears, and wept angrily, "It's been so long and I've been lecturing him all the time. Chun'er's life and death are uncertain now, who knows what kind of methods that Lord Sir will use to torture him? It's all your fault! If you didn't cling to that little monthly money and don't give him a subsidy, why would he go and rob other people's shops!"

Lu Changan glared at his wife fiercely: "Nonsense! Who do you think is used to his ignorant temper! If it weren't for you, he would be so bold to rob other people's shops? I told you to teach him etiquette and shame." , you just don’t listen, if what he robbed today is not this lord, but ordinary people, don’t you think he’s doing a good job?!”

Mrs. Lu was so scolded that she almost collapsed, she fell on the table and cried loudly.

Wei Wanjiang dragged his father-in-law's family here because of a moment of anger. Hearing their quarrel, he felt restless: "Father...mother is also working hard. The son-in-law was also confused for a while, and didn't think much about the future. Fortunately, this matter is now It can be solved with money, and my son-in-law is willing to spend 5000 taels of silver to make amends to that lord."

Lu Changan sneered: "Your eyelids are really shallow! Do you think that 5000 taels of silver can buy a life? No matter how poor he is, he is still a county official, 5000 taels of silver? I'm afraid that he will just swing a knife and end it when he sees such a small amount of money. Chun'er!"

Wei Wanjiang couldn't believe it, and felt aggrieved: "Father doesn't know something, that Fuchun... who is already poor can't afford to pay the taxes and money. The adult's attitude is now tough, I'm afraid it's just a shame. 5000 taels of silver Really a lot!"

"It's just one chance, if it's not given, and Chun'er is dead, how can you explain it! Can you afford the responsibility!" Mrs. Lu was so angry when she heard Wei Wanjiang's understatement, she scolded him viciously in a crying voice , turned around and asked Lu Changan: "Master, how much do you think should be given?"

Lu Changan took a puff of the cigarette, biting the pure gold rod and stunned wearily for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the price they offer is not just money..."

……

Wen Le is not short of money, he wants gold, at least for now Wen Run will bring it back to him from overseas in a steady stream.Nowadays, Fuchun does not have a smelting workshop that can be easily moved. This time, Wen Run directly brought the smelting equipment to the island. When the time comes, the boxes will come back with large gold nuggets that are several times more pure than Jinsha. .

But this is property that cannot be seen in the face, and now it can only be stored in his own private treasury. It is true that he put the business on the agenda to make money, but what he wants to earn is not to get it by holding the quality in his hands. Got a few treasures.

Mai Lingtong was frightened by this news, and his appetite was very bad for dinner.Wen Le sent him to eat at the same table as him. He didn't know whether it was because of anxiety or something, so he basically didn't move his chopsticks a few times.Seeing that Wen Le was eating heartlessly, he was extremely unbalanced.

It just so happened that Liandong finished his work, quietly entered the living room, and reported to Wen Le: "My lord, my subordinates have already called a doctor from the city to treat the Lu family kid. He broke his left kneecap, and there are some injuries on his body. Bruises, nothing else matters."

Wen Le nodded: "That's right, it's done well."

Liandong is appreciated by him now, and he is much more confident and steady than before, and he couldn't help but be happy when he praised him like this: "My lord praises it."

"Well, no, Liandong asked the doctor to come and prescribe him a prescription for his weak nerves, poor blood vessels, frightened and overly depressed chest." He turned his head to look at Mai Lingtong, swallowed his food, nodded the table and said, "The past two days You'll have to stay in bed, and you'll have to be very sick."

Mai Lingtong said gruffly, "That's not the case..."

"You have to give me a good face," Wen Le said, "These filthy guys think we are easy to bully, so we have to give them a good deal. Otherwise, your imprisonment these days will be too easy. "

Mai Lingtong was a little touched, thinking that Sir Alex took so much trouble to take revenge because of my wronging, it was really too sincere to treat others.After thinking about it but couldn't help the black line, he secretly glanced at the upright Wen Le, after all, isn't he going to pretend to be sick to give others a step...?

He rubbed his nose, although he understood Wen Le's intentions, but because of the kind words, he still couldn't help but press the post: "Your official knows it. I will try my best to help the lord."

Wen Le ate his meal without looking sideways, as if what he said was completely worthy of his conscience.In fact, he was secretly refreshed. Sure enough, the ancient officials were too easy to bribe, which made him feel a little unfulfilled.How many of those officials in the Celestial Dynasty could be so pure?Most of them are praised to the sky, received a box of medals, praised in meetings every year, and still refuse to be satisfied despite the gray income. Therefore, the progress of the times has made it more and more difficult for the boss to do.

What is most anxious is never the kidnappers, but the family members of the hostages.

The Lu family has been preparing nervously for a whole day. Master Lu didn't dare to underestimate Wen Le after much deliberation. He touched and touched the 2 taels of silver he had prepared, but he was still worried, so he added a few more shops. The house deed, together with the house deed of the restaurant originally belonging to Wen Le that Lu Tangchun snatched, were carefully packed into a lacquered wooden box and placed on top of the silver.He saw that his sons felt sorry for those dead things, but there was nothing he could do about it. Now they really don't care. He really couldn't see that son-in-law who was out of his mind in the past. , and also caught up with a family member.

Fortunately, it can still be remedied now. The one who didn't do it immediately, compared to saving some face for himself.Why does he give himself such a big face when he is a dignified first-class viscount? The reason is obvious when he thinks deeply.

Forget it, isn't it just a few deals?If you can build a relationship with others, you may not be doing a loss-making business.Has he spent less on Wei Wanjiang these years?Isn't it also recovering the cost?The viscount received a first-grade salary, so he may not be as down and out as Wei Wanjiang said.What's more, compared with family members, what is money?

He thought of his sons and daughters-in-law who expressed their dissatisfaction with him for giving out a large sum of money today, openly and secretly, and he felt a little sighed in his heart.I don't know if the prosperity of the Lu family is in their hands, what will be left to pass on to future generations.

After Wen Le finished washing, Liandong came to Tong Chuan and said, "My lord, the head of the Lu family has arrived and is waiting in the front yard."

"What time is it? You really have no eyesight. If you wait until tomorrow, you won't kill Lu Tangchun." Wen Le complained. Looking at the sky, he finally realized that his parents were worried about their youngest son, and he wasn't too embarrassed. "Let them wait, I'll change clothes first." When meeting businessmen, first of all, you must not show timidity, and you must carefully consider everything you wear. If you let them underestimate yourself from the beginning, you may want to discipline them in the future. Difficult.

Lu Changan waited restlessly in the front hall for half an hour. It was almost Haishi, and the flowers and plants outside the hall kept buzzing with insects.He understands that it is not the best time to visit the door at this time, but sometimes it is really difficult for reason to overcome emotion.

After sitting for a while, he stood up, without the help of his followers, and slowly turned around in the hall on crutches, his nerves stretched into a straight line.

The imposing chief executive quietly appeared from the side door, glanced around the hall, and made Lu Changan immediately restrain his expression and stand up straight. Then he heard light footsteps, and soon, a young man With his hands behind his back and his head tilted slightly, he crossed the bead curtain set up by the chief executive.

Lu Changan was taken aback.

The person in front of him doesn't look like a weak crown, he is more than five feet tall, and his figure is a bit thin, and his eyebrows and eyes are delicate and delicate when viewed separately.He has red lips, white teeth, and a pair of almond eyes with black pupils. He should have the posture of a young master from a rich family who has never set foot in the world.

But there seemed to be malicious intentions flashing in his almond eyes, but Lu Changan immediately froze in place, not daring to move at will.

He sighed in his heart Amitabha, God bless.Look at the plain robe this lord is wearing. Under the candlelight, you can faintly see the fine embroideries of the same color at the corners, the strands of hair-thin silver thread wrapped around the waistband, and the crown is hollowed out. Craftsmanship with complicated patterns and huge emeralds the size of pigeon eggs...Where is the equipment that "poor people who can't pay taxes" can afford?

He started to rejoice when he saw the chief executive's clothes before, but now that he saw the rightful lord, he finally let go of half of his heart, and respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Caomin Lu Chang'an has seen Lord Qiansui!"

Wen Le took the main seat, took a sip of tea calmly (of course it was specially fried and brewed), and glanced at the next seat unhurriedly: "So it's Mr. Lu? My little one Waiting Lord, why do you deserve this great gift from you? I would like to thank you for your noble hand and willingness to release Mao Yin from the prefecture."

"The grassroots are terrified..." Lu Changan kowtowed nervously, staring at his nails and said cautiously: "The dog has always been a dude, and it's all because the grassroots didn't discipline him strictly. Now that he offends you, Sir, he should be killed or killed. His good fortune. It is only because the grassroots are uneasy that they will rush to visit and offer a little kindness. I only hope that the nobleman will not refuse for the sake of the grassroots sincere respect."

This old man.

Wen Le raised his brows, he always liked to know how to advance and retreat, but now he has changed a little bit towards the old man of the Lu family.Compared with that bastard Wei Wanjiang, the one who ate a few more bowls of rice is indeed smarter.

He chuckled lightly, turned his head to Liandong and said, "Go and help Mr. Lu get up, give me a seat."

Lu Changan's suspended heart finally fell to the ground. He didn't dare to say anything, but let out a long sigh of relief in his stomach.

After seeing the gift list sent by Lu Changan, Wen Le's liking for him intensified even more. He was already ready for a protracted war—the Lu family gave money, but he sent it back, and then pretended to kill Lu Tangchun. .Then find a babysitter to sneak in and eat inside and out to convey some of your own ideas, and ask them to send the land deed of the shop or the house, and then expose the matter all at once.

No matter what, he had to get the land certificate sent by the Lu family himself. Without these, even if Fuchun's business really started here, he couldn't be as assured as he is now.The Lu family's shop represents not only money, but also their sincerity in inviting Fu Chun to do business!With this sincerity, there should naturally be no ignorant people in the Lin'an Mansion, even if Wei Wanjiang wants to make things difficult for himself, he still needs to weigh in under untenable circumstances.

After this kind of incident, Wei Wanjiang is afraid that he will not dare to do anything again, even if the commander of the soldiers and horses refuses to sell the face of Third Master Wen from now on, there is nothing to be afraid of Wen Le.Whenever the Lu family took out the house deed, it meant they were going to join his boat.

In fact, to be honest, what's wrong with cooperating with yourself?Anyone who is smarter will not refuse blindly. He has status, a title, and no shortage of money. Where can he find such a partner?

The more Wen Le looked at the old man of the Lu family, the more he felt cute. Even his white beard and upright belly were not so fat. While talking to the old man with a pleasant face, he seemed to have no conflicts at all. Greetings like family and relatives.Old man Lu was a little overwhelmed at first, but after a long time, he realized Wen Le's intention to win over, hesitated for a while, and accepted it smoothly.

So far, of course, it has turned hostility into friendship, and everyone is happy.

Oh, by the way, I am afraid that Wei Wanjiang, who has lost his husband and lost his army, will need to be annoyed for three days——
