Chapter 292 Hidden forces
Zhu Congwen started to make an appointment with Xie Zhan the next day, but after making an appointment with the other party several times, the other party refused on the pretext of being busy. The last time, he asked someone to give him an address and time directly, and warned him to bear the consequences if he didn't come.
When Xie Zhan saw a full of threatening letters, he smiled and asked someone to reply to Zhu Congwen, saying that he had agreed to meet.
It was almost time for the agreed time that Zhu Congwen went out slowly.
Zhu Changnian, the head of the Zhu family, called him, "Where are you going?"
Zhu Congwen's eyes rolled, "I'll go to my grandfather's house."
That night when he met Xie Zhan at Minghua Tower, he knew that his chance had come.
He asked someone to check Xie Zhan. It was a coincidence that Xie Zhan was taking care of the industry on the Chen family's Zhuya Island at this time.
Because Zhuyadao is not the core asset of the Chen family, the family's children are unwilling to take over, so they pushed it to Xie Zhan, the son-in-law.
Now he has seized the handle of the Chen family's son-in-law Xie Zhan. Isn't it easy to get the little Zhu Yadao?
He was going to get a big bargain, and he wanted to give his father a surprise, so he hid it first.
"Dad, I won't tell you anymore, I'll leave first." After Zhu Congwen said this, he left in a flash.
"Boy, I don't know what I'm doing all day long!" Zhu Changnian cursed.
Mrs. Zhu, who was standing beside her, was displeased, "Didn't he say he's going to his grandfather's house? Why are you scolding him?"
"A loving mother is a bad son. As soon as I say he is, you stop him and send him to Zhuya Island. He will come back in just a few days! There is no sense at all. Wait. If he doesn't learn well in the future, don't regret it!"
Mrs. Zhu: "Don't always scold him, you have to teach him. Can scold him make a big splash?"
Zhu Changnian was so confused that he didn't teach him? He taught him with great sincerity and step by step. Has his son learned it? Still no future!
"Did you not sleep well? Go and take a break quickly. I have been resting in my house these two days, so don't look for those little fairies!"
Zhu Changnian blushed when his wife said it, "I can't rest well, but I'm not..."
"You're still stubborn, don't you want to die?"
Zhu Changnian:...
He had a nightmare. In the dream, he felt that a net was coming towards him and he could not escape. The feeling of suffocation and despair made him not sleep well all night.
He thought about it but couldn't figure it out.
Zhu Congwen and Xie Zhan made an appointment in a quiet teahouse.
When Zhu Congwen arrived, Xie Zhan was already there.
"I wonder what happened to Mr. Zhu when he asked Xie Mou?"
"Xie Zhan, Xie Zhan, you are worthy of being a handsome and elegant young man from Chang'an. When you arrive in the south, you will still not change your romantic habits."
Xie Zhan frowned, "What does Mr. Zhu mean?"
Seeing him like this, Zhu Congwen decided to give him a tip, "Lu Fei, the eldest daughter of the Lu family."
Zhu Congwen despised Xie Zhan and thought that he was the eldest son in the past. So what if he was the young master?
As the saying goes, a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Since his Xie family has been exiled and now lives with the Chen family, he should be desperate for the Chen family. Now he has married Chen Baozhu and is still entangled with Lu Fei.
The two legitimate daughters of the six major families in the southern region all favor him. Why?
Zhu Congwen firmly refused to admit that he was jealous of his good reputation as a woman.
Xie Zhan looked puzzled, "Can Mr. Zhu explain it clearly?"
Zhu Congwen thought to himself, this guy is really not guilty.
"Brother Xie, don't pretend. I've seen you two..." Zhu Congwen smiled ambiguously at him, and his words were also deceiving him.
Xie Zhan: "Young Master Zhu misunderstood. Miss Lu and I have nothing to do."
"Brother Xie, do you think you can escape if you don't admit it? Since I dare to call you out, there will be no evidence in my hand. You said if I expose this to Chen Jiaye, what will happen?"
Xie Zhan's face became solemn.
Zhu Congwen admired the scene in front of him, "Actually, it's very simple to ask me to keep my mouth shut."
Xie Zhan didn't say anything, but he turned his eyes to him.
His stubbornness made Zhu Congwen laugh, "Sell me the little Zhuya Island of the Chen family!"
Xie Zhan: "Impossible!"
Zhu Congwen was not angry at all, "You think it through before you can speak."
Xie Zhan tightened his face, "This is the Chen family's property, and I have no right to deal with it."
"I don't care about this, this is your question. Three days later, I will answer. If the answer makes me unsatisfied, you know the consequences." Zhu Congwen finished speaking, and without waiting for Xie Zhan to answer, he left.
Later, when Zhu Congwen heard the reward from his subordinates, he said that after he left, Xie Zhan stayed in for about two quarters of an hour before coming out. He even heard from the store that the customer accidentally broke a cup.
For a moment, Zhu Congwen was in a good mood.
Liaodong County, Houcheng County Governor's Office
In the morning, Lu Desheng had enough food and drink, and then slowly headed to the front yard.
Along the way, countless people greeted him and he responded one by one.
Then he finally came to his office room, which was shared by the father and daughter, and it was also the largest office room in the entire county magistrate's office.
In the office room, the father and daughter’s desks are opposite.
Now the desks of the father and daughter are very different. Lu Songli's desk is full of official documents, and the official documents on Lu Desheng's desk are only one-quarter of Lu Songli's.
As soon as Lu Desheng came in, he saw his little daughter burying her head to handle the official business of the entire Liaodong County, with a stack of already processed official documents placed next to her.
She handed one of the small stacks to Shu Mo Li, "Put these on my father's desk."
Lu Desheng was a little guilty, "I'll do it."
Lu Desheng took the official document and said, "Daughter, are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest first."
Lu Songli picked up the tea next to her and took a sip, then said, "It's okay."
"Dad, all the urgent official duties you have in your hands are urgent, and you need to deal with them quickly."
"Okay, OK, Dad will deal with it now."
At this time, a letter from the southern part was sent to Liaodong County, and then to Lu Songli as soon as possible.
Lu Songli previously speculated that the Xie family had a hidden force.
When she first met Ji Wuyin, she suspected that Xie Zhan had pretended to die and sent him out, Ji Wuyin said that he would leave this matter to him.
He sent the letter back to the southern part of the country, asked his confidant to investigate the matter, and in the letter he would give the letter to Liaodong County if there was any result.
Now that the letter has come to her hands, her guess has finally been confirmed.
Xie Zhan did send a group of people out. However, in this case, it is not enough to send people out. If a person has no background, it is difficult to work hard from scratch.
Therefore, Lu Songli guessed that the Xie family should have a hidden force.
After reading the letter, Lu Songli asked Shumoli to take it to her father.
Lu Songli stood up, came to the window, looked at the small pool not far away, thinking about problems.
