The evening breeze was cool, half a bright moon was passing through the dark clouds, unknown insects were singing happily in the depths of the grass, and the fragrance of jasmine was strong and sweet. It was originally a beautiful night, but no one in the Lu family felt so relaxed and relaxed.
In the Tingxue Pavilion, Lu Jianxin was sitting at the head of the table, holding his tea cup steadily and looking calmly at the excited Lu Jianzhong below.
Lieutenant Lu Jian wiped the handkerchief over his eyes again and again, trembling his lips and said excitedly: "What a sudden disaster! What a sudden disaster! Obviously, the business of our shop has been a lot slower recently, and there are no valuable things in it. It's just some cloth, silk, incense, and other medicines.
The business of other people's shops is obviously more prosperous, but I don't know why those damned people don't go to other shops to rob other shops, but they focus on our shop instead!"
Mrs. Song said quietly, "Why? Because everyone knows that the Lu family is rich."
Mrs. Lu said in a shrill voice: "It's about giving out porridge, running a charity village, and renovating old houses. Spending a lot of money..."
A crisp "pop" sound interrupted her words, but it was Lu Jianxin who placed the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table.
Mrs. Lu saw that he had a frosty mask and an unkind look on his face. It was obvious that if she didn't shut up, her next sentence would be to accuse her of not interrupting properly. Although she swallowed the second half of the unfinished words, she felt really unconvinced.
, in her opinion, this disaster was clearly caused by Lin Jinrong. Why should they suffer this unreasonable disaster when Lin Jinrong is enjoying the scenery outside? The most annoying thing is that Lin Jinrong's own shop was not damaged at all! Also, Lin Jinrong's shop was not damaged at all!
No justice?
Although it may not be that Lin Jinrong robbed the Lu family shop because he revealed that he was rich and turned into a thief, the second bedroom really took advantage of this to make a fuss. Lu Jianxin first gave Lu Mian a hard look, and then said calmly: "According to your opinion, these things
Have you done everything wrong? You can’t give out porridge, you can’t run a charity village, and you shouldn’t renovate old houses? If you don’t do these things, people will definitely not rob you?”
Both Song and Lu were silent. Lu Jianzhong wiped the tears from his eyes and said in a choked voice: "Brother, what are you talking about? Of course you can spend your own money however you want, but we really suffered an unreasonable disaster.
. We have very little capital left. We just bought goods and we expected to sell those goods to support our family. What should we do now? There are so many of us eating..." At this point, he started to cry sadly.
.
Lu Jianxin looked at him coldly. There were also many good shops and large shops in Taiming Mansion. Lu Jianzhong always liked to keep a secret when doing things. How could he be so easily wiped out and end up in a situation where he couldn't survive?
Even if he didn't take precautions this time and suffered a big loss, he couldn't have fallen to that point. So he really didn't believe it, and he was quite fed up with his second wife's behavior.
Lu Jing stepped forward and whispered to Lu Jianzhong: "Father, don't be sad. Things have reached this point. What can we do? I thought that doing good deeds would accumulate evil deeds, but who knew that it would attract people's attention! This is also unexpected."
Lu Yan heard that every word of his family pointed to Lin Jinrong, and he felt that it was Lin Jinrong who had done those good things that caused them trouble. He was really unconvinced, but he couldn't talk nonsense with them.
Lin Yuzhen couldn't listen anymore and said with a straight face: "It's not just the Lu family's shop that was hit by the disaster! Wasn't the Wu family's shop also hit by the disaster? Was it the Wang family's shop? Wasn't it the other shops? The Wu family's manager was also
He was injured, and a boy from the Wang family lost his life! Why did I hear your housekeeper say that he didn’t hurt anyone because someone said at the time that this family was doing good deeds and doing good deeds, so why don’t you hurt his family’s life! What about you?
Say?" Because they didn't know, they deliberately showed off: "What a coincidence, no one is robbing A Rong's shop! Didn't she donate the most? According to your theory, people should rob her the most! Why?
Why don’t you rob her?”
Lu Jianzhong's eyes were red and he didn't say anything. He just lamented and wiped his tears: "What should I do? What should I do? I can't live anymore!"
Lu Jianxin was so angry at the trouble he made that he glared at Lu Mian angrily: "You can make up your own mind." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
But Lin Yuzhen didn't leave. She just sat there and made sarcastic remarks: "It's the foundation of the house that makes people poor. I've never seen it before." The second room wanted to blame Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan for this, and wanted to steal it from the first room.
Money, that’s a dream!
Tu glanced at Lu Yan with red eyes, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief while sobbing, with a sad look on her face, as if she had a grievance to complain about. Lu Jianli glared at her, coughed a few times, and said,
He said in a deep voice: "Let me be fair. My shop was also robbed! What was robbed? Food! It just so happened that the shop was on the same street as the second brother's shop, but they happened to be near the government office.
Convenient. There are many people who donate money to help people, and not everyone is robbed. There is nothing going on in the streets far away from the government office. It can be seen that it has nothing to do with giving food, donating money, or building houses. The Lu family is rich
It’s not something that happens in a day or two, and if people want to keep an eye on it, it’s not just a matter of a few days.”
When Lu Jianzhong heard this, he reached out and dragged Li Lang over from Kang's arms, and said with tears in his eyes, "Grandson, it rained all night long because of the leak in the house. Grandpa can no longer care about you. You have to rely on yourselves from now on."
Lilang didn't know what he was doing. He only knew that his relatives who were close to him were having a hard time, so he opened his mouth and burst into tears. Seeing this, Fu Niang, who was next to Song, also started crying.
Lu Yan was so angry that he stood up and said coldly: "If anyone can catch a traitor and find out who robbed the Lu's shop because we gave porridge, donated money to build a charity village, and renovated the old house, I will pay for it."
Your loss! If you can’t, just save the face of your elders! What’s the point of going through such trouble in the face of a catastrophe!”
Lu Jianzhong covered his chest, "Hey, well, my heart feels tight... I can't live anymore."
Song and others hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Lu Jing's eyes turned red and he said, "Second brother, please forgive others if you have to, don't be too arrogant."
Lu Yan was so angry that he felt angry, but when he saw Lu Jianli winking at him frequently, he had no choice but to retreat out of anger. For fear of another accident, he ignored his anger and ordered the stewards to prepare to arrange for people to patrol around and guard various shops and houses.
Halfway through, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he turned back to look for Lu Jing: "In this critical moment, should my third brother continue to feel humiliated and weep here, or should I be a man? Now the young and middle-aged people in this family are just you and me.
Do you care or not?”
Lu Jing blushed and was about to retort, but saw Kang looking at him imploringly and whispering: "Who knows if there are still bad guys hiding, or if they suddenly turned against each other?"
He followed Lu Yan out with a straight face and said with a sneer: "There is martial law outside. Second brother, you are a man and an official, so you should patrol the outer areas. My younger brother is not talented, so he can only stay at home."
Lu Yan was too lazy to talk to him and led the people to patrol without mentioning it. He only thought secretly that he had to find a way to send someone out to deliver a letter to Lin Jinrong to report that he was safe, and then asked Mr. Zhu if everything was safe there.
After three or four days of this, on the fifth day, another conflict broke out between the migrant workers building the city wall and the defenders. Yu Zongsheng was filled with hatred and ordered people to just kill them. He suppressed them with all his might. Dozens more people died and half the street was burned down.
It burned for a day and a night before being extinguished by a heavy rain. At this time, even Lu Jianxin, who was convinced that there would be no chaos, was a little panicked. Although he didn't say it, he was secretly glad that Lu Mian had led the people earlier.
The old house has been renovated. The second room didn't dare to say any more weird things. Lu Jing didn't need to be silent to greet him, and took turns patrolling with him every morning and evening.
The atmosphere in Pingzhou City was extremely tense. Day and night, you could hear the curses and cries of soldiers arresting traitors, shouting and killing them. The whole family was frightened. Although they had said hello to the government office, it was equivalent to going out.
Qian hired a team of soldiers to come over morning and evening for inspection and protection, but Lu Jianxin was still worried and couldn't sleep well day and night. So he informed the old lady and summoned a family of young and old, saying that if the chaos continued like this, it would be better to find a way out of the city and return to his old home.
You need to be more careful when guarding.
Mrs. Lu naturally has no objections. She will go wherever her children and grandchildren go. Others have no objections either. Compared with life, nothing is worth it. Lu Mian remembered that Lin Jinrong had jokingly said earlier that if one day
, the Lin family had nowhere to go, and some of them had to seek refuge with the Lu family, so they asked Lin Yuzhen: "I don't know what my grandfather and grandmother planned. Their courtyard wall is not as high as ours."
This reminded Lin Yuzhen, and Lin Yuzhen immediately said: "Then it is better to ask them if they are willing to go to the old house with us." Fearing that others would not agree, she added: "Anyway, there can be many people living in the old house.
A few more of them."
Lu Jianxin was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I don't know if it is possible to get so many people out of the city. What we are saying now is that they are only allowed in but not allowed out. Let's try it first and then talk."
Just as he was talking, someone outside shouted loudly: "The traitors have been wiped out!"
The whole family stood up in shock. Lu Jianxin told Zhu Jianfu: "Go and see what's going on!"
Zhu Jianfu trotted out and ran back after burning incense. His face was full of joy: "Great joy! Great joy! The officers and soldiers who went out to chase the rebels came back and brought back more than 20 corpses of the rebels. At this moment,
He was dragged by a horse and paraded through the streets! He was supposed to swim for three days, and then his head was hung on the wall to show the public! The magistrate's office issued a notice to calm the people!"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she lowered her head and quickly turned her rosary beads to chant the Buddha's name.
Lu Jianxin shook his sleeves happily and said: "You deserve it!" Then he calmed down and asked: "What about the others? Didn't you say there were more than 60 rebels in total? Why are there only more than 20 corpses?"
Zhu Jianfu was startled by his question, and then said: "I heard that some rolled down the cliff, some ran away alone, and some couldn't be brought back. Anyway, they were defeated and can no longer be harmed. And there are still people continuing to chase, I guess.
It’s also very fast.”
Lu Jianxin stroked his beard and said viciously: "We have to kill him all the way, otherwise everyone will want to rebel, and the world will be in chaos!"
Tu said: "Then we don't have to move back to the old house, right?"
Lu Jianxin glanced at her lightly and said, "Let's see."
