Richard and his party of dozens of people moved into Wu Kee Garden.
Originally the mansion of Li Mingxuan's family, it was destroyed by the war and the neighboring buildings were burned down. Later, the land was bought by a wealthy businessman surnamed Wu from other places, and a manor was rebuilt, which is now Wu Ji Garden. It was the original residence of Li Mingxuan.
Several times the size of a big house.
Master Wu is a philanthropist and his ancestral home is a local. Now he has returned to his roots.
The first time Wu'an people watched a local movie was at Wu Ji Garden. Occasionally, Mr. Wu would invite the city's projection team to show open-air movies in the garden square.
Master Wu also loves to help others. Lu Zhong once encountered some difficulties, and it was Master Wu who took the initiative to help Lu Zhong overcome the difficulties after hearing about it.
For Mr. Wu, Lu Ming, who had read too many intrigue novels or film and television works in his previous life, would naturally have some doubts.
Did the mastermind behind the scenes deliberately place Wu An's spy in order to secretly find out about him?
In this world, there are very few wars, and there have always been few related literary works. Lu Ming sometimes really feels that the machinations and the powerful people in this world are not as "wonderful" as the world in his previous life.
Although he had doubts about Mr. Wu, Lu Ming didn't ask anyone to do anything in particular.
For example, the Military Intelligence Bureau's liaison station in Wu'an, the "Da Ciye" pawnshop, has always been in a silent state, and it is just a normal pawnshop.
Now this intelligence team has been handed over to "Commissioner Zhang", but Lu Ming did not activate it. He just asked Granny Tuolong to get in touch with it secretly.
As for "Commissioner Zhang", as the most trusted person of Prince Heishanbao, it was natural for him to come to see Lu Zhong, so he also met Mr. Wu.
…
The courtyard of the Lu family's mansion was very clean after two steps, but no one had ever lived there, silently waiting for its real owner.
Lu Zhong lives in the front yard just like before.
Lu Ming and Han Anni came together. Accompanied by Lu Zhong, they went to walk around the backyard.
"Uncle Zhong, you have aged a lot..." Lu Ming coughed, "His Royal Highness, you have described you to me."
Indeed, in just a few years, Lu Zhong has turned gray-haired and his beard is white. In fact, he is only in his fifties. Obviously, he was under too much pressure during the period when he just ran away.
.
"Uncle Zhong, you should dye your hair..." Lu Ming looked at him and tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart. Ever since he entered his ancestral home, the strange emotions had been tumbling.
Uncle Zhong smiled naively, "Your Excellency, if the young master were here, he would definitely say the same..." Indeed, this young Mr. President is a bit like the young master's eccentricity, and often makes surprising remarks. If the young master were here, he would definitely say the same thing..."
Yes, I definitely took the time to dye my hair.
Lu Ming laughed and said, "After dinner, you and I will go to the barber shop to watch you dye it."
Uncle Zhong was stunned.
Han Anni stood by and gently tugged at the corner of Lu Ming's clothes, "I have something else to do in the afternoon."
Lu Ming was startled, and then realized that he was too impressed. Han Anni reminded himself not to forget who he was, and he was no longer the young master of this house.
Then he smiled: "Uncle Zhong, let's go, let's go have dinner! The guests have been waiting for a long time, right?"
I heard that "His Excellency the Vice President of the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Republic" was entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince of Montenegro to come to his former residence to visit relatives and visit His Highness the Prince's past. Commissioner Liu Depei of the Wu'an County Office personally accompanied him. At the same time, Mr. Wu from the Wu Family Garden also came.
Helped Lu Zhong prepare many rare dishes.
Lu Ming could see that Uncle Zhong was full of joy and excitement.
We can also know that in the first few years, Uncle Zhong's life must have been not very good, but in the past two years, it should have been much better. You can hear it when listening to Uncle Zhong talk about his situation in the past few years.
At first Uncle Zhong heard that the young master was making a fortune in the East China Sea, but it was just a rumor and he didn't dare to believe it.
But in the past two years, County Magistrate Liu Depei treated him differently and often visited Lu Zhai.
The day after the wedding of Prince Heishanbao, County Magistrate Liu Depei had obviously just received the news and immediately brought people to congratulate him.
Only then did Uncle Zhong find out that the young master was married to the princess of the empire and became the prince of the empire. The county elder had said so, so how could it still be false?
Not to mention today, the young master's subordinates are all the vice presidents of some provinces. He also brought a personal letter from the young master to himself, received a call from the young master, and heard the young master's voice. Uncle Zhong is now filled with joy.
It's all joy.
…
Mr. Wu Jingfu, Mr. Wu, is in his early fifties, has slightly white temples, and is very humble. He sat at the bottom.
The table is full of sumptuous dishes, and some rare ingredients, such as Guanling black fungus, are all brought by Mr. Wu.
In this world, there are not many areas with large temperature differences between day and night, so high-quality black fungus has become a rare ingredient.
Liu Depei has shiny hair and wears a suit and black leather shoes. He is obviously an official influenced by Western learning.
Of course, usually in the Northern Territory, this kind of officials are just superficially imitated, but deep down they still have the mentality of an official.
I have always taken good care of the Lu family, and it is not difficult to guess Liu Depei's thinking logic. I am definitely loyal to the Korean Brigade Commander and to Marshal Qi, but I must also take good care of the old history of His Highness the Prince of Black Mountain Castle, unless Marshal Qi
Or if the Korean Brigade Commander has an order to deal with the Lu family, then even if all the old slaves of the Lu family are pushed out and shot, I will carry it out without blinking an eye.
Of course, it is very likely that I will not do it myself, but will pretend to be sick or leave temporarily and find another scapegoat to issue orders and execute them.
Facing "Commissioner Zhang", Liu Depei smiled apologetically. After all, this is the first deputy position of the administrative agency that manages the eight roads. It can even be regarded as the principal position of the agent. He is the Korean Brigade Commander, and the person opposite him has the same status.
Can't compare.
"Mr. Wu, that lawyer Richard, what do you think of this person?" After drinking for three rounds, Lu Ming suddenly asked Wu Jingfu with a smile.
Wu Jingfu smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, don't think that they and his party have moved into our Wuyuan, but I have never seen him until now. I am ashamed!"
Liu Depei smiled and said: "It's no wonder. Western barristers? I heard they are one of the best in the entire legal profession? Don't talk about you and me. I am afraid that even Marshal Qi may not be respected by others." He added:
"But this guy has been defeated by His Highness the Prince several times, right? When His Highness the Prince was still working in the judiciary?"
Lu Ming smiled. It seemed that because of the various in-depth reports in newspapers about this lawsuit, people like Liu Depei of Wu'an knew everything about his grievances with Richard.
Liu Depei asked Wu Jingfu again, "Brother Wu, this is strange, how did they come to live in your Wuyuan?"
Lu Ming thought, he didn't need to ask this question himself, and looked at Wu Jingfu.
Wu Jingfu said helplessly: "My cousin in the provincial capital, for some reason, knew a clerk from Richard's lawyer team, and got in touch with him like this." Then he looked at Lu Ming: "Your Excellency, I am really not the best at this.
Interested in working with you..."
Lu Ming had already waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's a long way to go. If he really has no place to live, I will give him the hotel I rented, so that in the end, the winner and loser will not seem to be victorious."
"Yes, yes!" Wu Jingfu smiled apologetically, "Your Excellency the President's situation is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Lu Ming had already raised his glass, "Come on, no matter what, Westerners are outsiders, and we Central Asians, regardless of north or south, are all of the same race and clan, so we should unite as one."
Liu Depei and Wu Jingfu both smiled and raised their glasses in response.
Han Anni rolled her eyes and said to herself that you have a lot of Western wives.
