At the end of the year and New Year's Eve approaching, the people in the entire Bianjing city are celebrating the New Year, but not everyone will be happy about it. For example, things have not been going well recently, and many of his colleagues in the army have ostracized Yuhou Lu Qian. It’s the one that’s the most unpleasant.
If the official position of Marquis of Yu was placed in a certain army outside the capital, he might still have some status and authority. At least he would be considered the number one person in the prefecture capital city. However, if placed in Bianjing City, where the powerful and powerful people have been around for a long time, it really would not count. What's going on? And because he was a military attache and was not well-received by officials in the DPRK, it was extremely difficult to get promoted.
It was precisely because Lu Qian knew that his future was extremely difficult that he betrayed his long-time friend Lin Chong a few years ago without conscience, and almost let his wife be ruined by Hua Hua Tai Sui Gao Yanei. Naturally, he wanted to please this Gao Tai. The young master of the Wei family has climbed to a high branch.
But what's the result? Not only did this matter fail, preventing him from seeking benefits from Gao Yanei, but he also turned against Lin Chong. If Lu Qian had not seen the opportunity and hid early that day, he would have died at the hands of Lin Chong. What chilled him even more was that after this incident, Lin Chongyuan left, but Gao Yanei did not recruit him as his subordinate because of this. At the same time, after the previous incident was spread, his villainous behavior was even more disgusted by his colleagues, and he was punished. All excluded and neglected, he became a real loner in the army, a lonely ghost.
Lu Qian didn't even know how he had survived the past few years. Anyway, he was about the same age as Lin Chong and now looked like a fifty-year-old man. His beard and hair were gray, and his whole person had no energy. At this time, he was sitting with his brother Lu Zhen, who looked no different from his two uncles and nephews, or even his father and son.
Compared to his brother's embarrassing situation in the army, Lu Zhen was much more comfortable in the capital. Not only was his official position high, he had also climbed to the high branch of Captain Gao and was one of his trusted aides. . It's just that he has a lot of disdain for his brother's previous actions, so he has never said anything on his behalf, and he has not even interacted with Lu Qian for almost half a year. Lu Zhen, smelling of alcohol, suddenly came to visit this evening, which really made Lu Qian feel flattered.
Because Lu Zhen came here drunk, Lu Qian naturally did not prepare a banquet for him, so he only had some warm drinks prepared for him. The two brothers were drinking in the small study room in the backyard and chatting for a while. Finally, Lu Qian couldn't hold himself back. He looked at his brother and asked, "Brother, why are you here today?" Please just tell me."
Lu Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this, shook his head slightly and said: "You are still so restless. It seems that your experiences in the past few years have not taught you a lesson? In fact, do you know that when that incident happened? Before what happened, I had already found an opportunity for you to let the team train out, but because you caused such a scandal, the matter fell into nothing!"
Seeing the shame on his brother's face, Lu Zhen smiled bitterly: "That's all, I won't mention what happened at the beginning. I came to you this time because there is something that may be able to help you, so that you can be favored by Gao Tai again." However, there are hidden dangers in this matter. If anything goes wrong, you will die, so you have to think carefully before making a decision."
Lu Qian smiled miserably: "Brother, do you think I am much better than death now? As long as there is a chance, I will not avoid it. Brother, you
Just tell me, what kind of opportunity it is! "
Lu Zhen looked at his brother carefully again and saw that his condition was really bad, so he sighed secretly and said: "Just today, Sun Tu, the governor of Jingdong Road, went to Shu to impeach Grand Master Cai. Do you know that he Who is he?"
Hearing the name Sun Tu, Lu Qian, who was still a little embarrassed, suddenly burst into hatred in his eyes: "It's him. Even if I die, I will never forget this person!" As he spoke, his face was ferocious and he gritted his teeth. , looking at him, he wanted to bite Sun Tu to death.
In fact, over the years, he has already understood the ins and outs of everything in the past. Knowing that Lin Chong was able to escape was due to Sun Tu's great efforts in the middle, and now these two people have become famous in Qingzhou and live a carefree life, but they have suffered all the pain and humiliation in Bianjing City.
What is a villain? Lu Qian is a real villain. In his life creed, he is the only one who can betray others, and no one can betray him. Logically speaking, it was clear that he was the one who killed Lin Chong first, but the other party did not hold him accountable. He should be grateful, but now he blames all the sins on Lin Chong and Sun Tu. The reason why he has been gritting his teeth and enduring what he has experienced in the past few years is because of his hatred and hostility towards Lin Chong and Sun Tu.
Lu Qian had long regarded Sun Tu and Lin Chong as his life and death enemies, but because of his humble status and lack of any power, he could only curse them in his heart every day, but he had no way to deal with them. But now, hearing his brother mention Sun Tu's suicide behavior, he immediately became very excited: "Brother, are you serious? So Sun Tu really dares to impeach Grand Master Cai?"
Seeing his brother's excited look, Lu Zhen didn't know whether his decision this time was right or wrong. After learning about this from Liu Yong, he felt that this was the time for Gao Qiu to do something. But behind Sun Tu is Tong Guan. Once it becomes big, it will definitely be a storm. This is not something that a small person like him can participate in.
So after thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhen thought of his younger brother Lu Qian, who was depressed now and might agree to be a troublemaker. But he still never thought that Lu Qian would be so excited after hearing this, and his whole state was completely different.
After calming down, he said seriously: "Of course the thing is true, but you can't be careless. The people involved in this matter are all high-ranking officials in the court, and even Sun Tu is not something you and I can handle. , so if there is any omission, the whistleblower will die without a burial place."
"Hahaha..." Lu Qian responded with a burst of laughter: "I'm like this, what's the difference between death and death? I didn't have a chance before, but now a great opportunity is right in front of me, what worries do I have? ? Sun Tu... You ruined my good deeds before, this time I will make you suffer a lot!"
After a pause, he looked at his brother expectantly: "Brother, tell me, what should I do?" After all, he was just a martial artist, and he had to look at his brother's opinions.
Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then expressed his thoughts, and finally said seriously: "If you report this matter to Taiwei Gao, he will take it seriously, and you may be asked to see Taishi Cai. , and in front of the Grand Master, don’t reveal anything, don’t bring me out. As long as this thing is done, you might be able to do it again.
Being used by the Taiwei, or of course, because you are involved in a battle between the court and the Central Government, you will die without a burial place. "After all, they are brothers, so he still explained the pros and cons to the other party clearly.
However, Lu Qian didn't care about the disadvantages at all. He just gritted his teeth and said, "I know, brother, don't worry. I will try to ask Taiwei Gao to see you tomorrow. If I don't succeed this time, I will be benevolent!"
Having said that, it is not easy to see Gao Qiu in Lu Qian's current situation. Although he ran to the gate of Taiwei's Mansion early the next morning to wait, under the protection of a group of Forbidden Army officers, he could not even get close to the square where horses were parked in front of the gate, and in the end he could only watch sadly. Gao Qiu drove in and out of the mansion, but he didn't even have a chance to step forward and shout.
After finding nothing for several days, Lu Qian finally changed his approach on the fifth day of the first lunar month and set his target on Gao Yanei. Compared to Gao Qiu, Huahua Taisui had far fewer followers. , and I have some friendship with the other party.
At noon that day, on the street not far from the Taiwei Mansion, Lu Qian saw the opportunity and stopped Gao Yanei who was about to go somewhere to have fun. He shouted: "Yanei, the little man Lu Qian has something important to do." Complain to each other."
Seeing someone suddenly jumping out to block the road, the entourage around Gao Yanei was startled. Three or four people even stepped forward and pushed him to the ground, fearing that he would be harmful to Yanei. Gao Duo, who took half a step back, narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and looked at Lu Qian who was kneeling on the ground: "Who are you? Do I know you in my office?"
These words made Lu Qian feel bitter. It was because he wanted to curry favor with this person that he ended up in this situation. Who would have expected that the other person would turn against him and now he doesn't even remember who he is. But in front of Gao Yanei, he couldn't show his anger, so he could only say in a low voice: "Yanei, I was also the person you listened to..."
While Gao Duo was still hesitating, fortunately, his confidant Fu An already remembered Lu Qian, so he leaned into his ear and whispered a few words. Gao Yanei suddenly came to his senses: "You are the loser who failed to help me get Mrs. Lin back then..." Obviously, compared to men, he has a much deeper memory of women, especially women who failed to win.
"It's... just the villain."
"How come you have become so old? Even your hair and beard have turned white." Gao Duo sighed in admiration twice, and then he was let go. He said casually: "Tell me, you suddenly came to see me today." What's going on in the office?"
Lu Qian felt sad in his heart, but he still showed a smile and said: "I'm here for a big event today, a big event related to Captain Gao, so I would like to ask Yameni to introduce me to you."
"Big deal, what big deal can a down-and-out person like you do?" Gao Duo looked disapproving, and then yawned again: "If you don't go into detail, I won't have time to hang out with you." He is a standard. A dandy has absolutely no interest in the affairs of the court or officialdom, and only wants to have fun.
Seeing this, Lu Qian did not dare to make any further excuses. He hurriedly moved forward and lowered his voice to tell the inside story: "In the Yamen, the Taiwei has always been at odds with Tong Guan. This time is a great opportunity. You can't miss it!" He was really afraid that the other party would leave because he didn't know the importance of it.
