Lu Yu continued: "The'Pear Flower Thousand Trees' is not the shameless Flower Thousand Trees. This queen Li Qiushui has two biggest characteristics. The first is her beauty, and the second is her family's luxuriant branches. If you talk about it in detail, there are many families in the Great Jade Kingdom that have a certain kinship with her, hehe, the ancestors of the queen who want to come to the Queen are also beautiful and unusual, naturally they are prone to flowers and flowers, like thousands of ancient trees. And this queen also Regardless of benevolence and righteousness, no matter how far away her relatives are, she doesn’t care about her Feng En loan. It can be said that one person has won the Tao and a thousand trees blossom! It is also a coincidence that this low-key Guo Qilin in Linjiang City turned out to be a relative of the Queen, and he was After drinking, he called himself the Queen's protege, ha ha, the situation of being a real person is wonderful and wonderful.
"Falling British Flying", the biggest event in the country in the past two years, that is, the war in the southwest region, a total of 200,000 people fought in a field for four days and four nights, until the last heavy rain, all the ground. The rape blossoms floated in the wind, like the cry of the sky, and like a goddess who wanted to heal people’s sorrows... The great general Situ Wuji of the Great Jade Kingdom in that battle slayed the enemy bravely at the age of eighty. The Starfall Plain, the whole country is for it. Sadness, really is a'fallen dance, feeling heaven and loyalty soul flying'.
'The tired bird returns to the nest', another major event in our great jade country is that the prime minister suddenly returned home. I heard that the prime minister loved flying birds very much. There are thousands of birds that he feeds. I heard that he loves birds. He loves his children and grandchildren deeply, the folk rumors that he went all the way back, the birds mourn and screamed, so spectacular.
Haha, it's so spectacular. "
Xiao Ruan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "So these four words mean this, but... These four things don’t seem to have any connection? Except that the first and the second are talking about a woman, and this woman is talking about a woman. Guo Qilin has something to do with it, but doesn't this show that Guo Qilin is very powerful
Lu Yu smiled lightly. These four words meant to say these four things. They seemed to be unrelated, but if they were put together, it would be like a line, a pattern, a text...
"If Lu Gaofeng really has the wisdom to become a Patriarch, he will understand the meaning, and then take the initiative in this chaos, and then... lose them."
Lu Yu’s words surprised Xiao Ruan, and she hurriedly asked, "Master, don't you want to help the owner keep the three shops? How do you do so many things, will the three shops still be lost?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Xiao Ruan with a smile: "I never said that I would help the Lu family keep those three stores. Besides, I can't do anything about it, even if Guo Qilin had to treat himself best because of his family's weakness. Friends start, but they are not something that the Lu family can contend with. At best, I can only make Lu Gaofeng more confident and find some help, and then... what Guo Qilin can't get, the Lu family can't actually keep it."
Xiao Ruan wondered: "Why can't you keep it?"
Lu Yu said, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It's a pity that the Lu family is just a skinny mouse. And I don't want the Lu family to keep the food store..."
He seemed to have a lot to say, but he really didn't say it, and Xiao Ruan didn't ask either. He didn't say anything, as if he had witnessed some major events.
…
A few days later, on October 25, after the last heat wave of the autumn brought by the New Year's Day disappeared, what was left was getting colder day by day. But the opposite of the weather is people's enthusiasm, because this is the time for threshing after autumn, and the harvest of the year is in front of you, paved with golden hope. They have reason to be hot, and they have reason to have hope in their future lives. And this seems to have not changed for thousands of years.
Linjiang City is facing a change, starting with a fleet of vehicles suddenly appearing at the gate of the city.
The city defense stepped forward and tried to check. A man in a black robe walked in front of the captain. He just passed a sign and the entire convoy entered the city quietly, and the city defense forces could only line up neatly from start to finish. Standing on both sides, as if'respectfully send'.
This team is very strange, strange, more than 30 people, each wearing a heavy cloak, a big hat covering their faces. Horses are also strange. Horses are very gentle animals. Many people think so, because horses’ eyes are always innocent and indifferent, but these horses are different. Their eyes look like wild beasts, and every snout can spray. A cloud of mist came out, flipping in the cold air. The cargo on the carriage is also very strange. They should be very heavy. They squeaked and squeaked against the cowl. The two ruts formed by the ground over the years, more than an inch deep into the ground, also quivered because of these carriages.
No one knows who these people are. They only know that the token in their hands is a symbol of the supreme power of the Great Jade Kingdom. They only know that they eventually entered the low-key Guo family, and then on the second day, the Guo family was too fast. Bian Erzhi acquired 16 shops of various colors in Linjiang City, including all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. All the nobles in Linjiang City were skeptical and curious, how could the Guo family have such a large financial resource and such a large influence? !
The Guo family's acquisition is like a mess, and only one place fails, that is, the three grain shops of the Lu family.
No one can imagine that the Lu Family, who has always been a moderate and safe one, turned out to be the first to stand up against it!
Lujia grain shop is the largest of the three grain shops, and it is also the largest grain and oil supply shop in Linjiang City. At this time, Lu Gaofeng was standing at the door of Lujia grain shop with a green face, squinting at the opposite side. The officials shouted: "No! You don't know how deep the water in Linjiang City is? Don't think you officials can snatch this shop over!"
There are several officials standing on the street. They are arrested in Linjiang City. They are subordinate to the county magistrate. On weekdays, they just manage public order or something. To the people, they are officials, but to the big families, they are more like A group of watchdogs, for dogs, these nobles are able to talk to them is a very low price, not to mention that these dogs don’t even give these nobles face, and when the owner of the Lu Family Patriarch has to take other people’s shops, it’s somewhat It's strange, it's no wonder that Lu Gaofeng's face is not good.
The leading official smiled lightly, facing the big family in Linjiang City who usually didn't dare to look directly at him, he slowly stretched out his hand and took out a paper document from his arms, his face felt like a villain.
"Lord Lu, there is an ambition here. These three shops, including your Lu family's old house, were expropriated by the court and transformed into a defensive barracks."
The officer shook the document in his hand and spoke slowly.
"What?!" Lu Gaofeng looked at each other in disbelief, some of them couldn't believe what he heard.
He had already inferred from the four words written to him by his daughter that the queen today is in a stage of'self-defeating'. What the queen has done recently is also a strong man who has broken his arm, and is too busy to take care of himself. How could he care about Linjiang? A small branch relative in Xiaocheng? That's why he is confident that he can keep these three grain shops. And everything that happened before was too unreasonable, or even unreasonable, and he believed that the documents in the hands of these officials would definitely not be fake, because no one dared to do so.
"However," before Lu Gaofeng was surprised, he said for the chief official: "But it is not without the opportunity to ease. The Lu family’s old house has been in Linjiang City for nearly a hundred years. The rash demolition is also a loss for us in Linjiang City. I feel distressed and there is no way. After all, it is an official order. Who dares to disobey? But... Ha ha, or say that the luck of Patriarch Lu is really good. You and Mr. Guo are old friends and close friends, and Mr. Guo is still that true Those who can talk... Mr. Guo said it before he came. If you pay the price of these three grain shops, Mr. Guo says he can’t help you deal with it and keep your Lu family’s old house. What do you think of Patriarch Lu?"
Lu Gaofeng was stunned and asked anxiously: "What did you just say? Mr. Guo? Who is Mr. Guo?"
The officer naturally said: "Naturally it is Guo Qilin, Mr. Guo." Then he suddenly realized: "Oh! This is yesterday, I don't know if you want to come to Patriarch Lu, Mr. Guo was the prefect of Linjiang City yesterday!"
"Too... Prefect?!"
Lu Gaofeng couldn't respond a little. Linjiang City is a very strange place. It is barren and small. According to the system of the Great Jade Kingdom, it is at most a county. The highest chief executive can only be the county magistrate, but here is the prefect, with the weakest one. The city is in charge of twenty-nine towns, large and small, in the hundreds of miles nearby!
How big is the official position of the prefect? The big jade country is very large, so according to the folk customs, geographical location and language habits, the entire country is divided into 21 states and counties, and each state and county has a military-political chief executive who is honored as the'prefect.' It can be said that although the prefect of the Great Jade Country is only a third-rank official, it is definitely more powerful than the leader of some small countries around the Great Jade Country.
Lu Gaofeng struggled and regretted it. The prefecture was definitely not something he could offend. If he didn't have his own'confidence' before, maybe he could use these three grain shops to get closer to Guo Qilin at this time. The position is stable, so the benefits afterwards are more than three grain shops as simple as that? But regret it, and now he has to send his arrow on the string. Since he made a mistake, he will not choose another path.
