"Shu Ting, you are very unkind. The Lu family has become very prosperous in Beijing and has become a high official. You didn't even tell the villagers?"
"Are you still from Ruanhe Village?"
"Are we going to raise a white-eyed wolf in the village?"
In the main hall, there is a mustached man about forty years old, with dark complexion, his hair tied on top of his head with a cloth strip, and he looks like a rural person.
This person’s name is Ruan Changqing.
He sat with his majesty and gold sword, and called the maid like an uncle: "Don't you see that the tea is tasteless? How about changing it?"
"Without a wink, believe it or not, I sold you all with just one sentence."
Ruan Changqing became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and his arrogant expression was no longer there.
The maid Qiulan was a little angry, but the lady didn't say anything, so she could only ask someone to change the tea to Ruan Changqing.
In addition to Ruan Changqing, there is also a young man in rough clothes and short shirts, who looks to be about the same age as Lu Ning.
His appearance is similar to that of Ruan Changqing. He is Ruan Changqing's eldest son, Ruan Ping.
Ruan Ping was young and looked a little rough, but it was his first time in such a big mansion. He sat nervously on the chair and just kept eating delicious snacks that he had never eaten before.
"Cousin, this is Lu Mansion, not Ruanhe Village. Put down your arrogance."
Ruan Shuting held her daughter in her arms. She tolerated Ruan Changqing for a long time and said coldly: "I am married into the Lu family. The water thrown out by the married daughter. Isn't this what you pointed at my nose and said?"
"When I call you cousin, I have seen my uncle raise me for several years, but don't go too far."
"Haha, am I going too far?"
Ruan Changqing sneered and said: "Ruan Shuting, when you married into the Lu family, the Lu family was well off, but what did you bring with you every time you returned to the village?"
"I just said a few words to you at that time, but you actually broke off the relationship with your mother's family directly?"
"Am I wrong to say that you are a white-eyed wolf?"
Ruan Shuting curled her lips, did she bring few gifts when she returned to her parents' home?
All it took was an ox-cart to pull it.
The Lu family is wealthy, but they also belong to the Lu family. Can they still take everything back to Ruanhe Village?
"It's really a comparison between people, it can make people angry to death."
"When Aunt Hongxing served Prince Yong'an in the palace, Ruanhe Village was so beautiful!"
"Now you, the Lu family, are wearing official robes and living in the Gaomen Courtyard. As a member of Ruanhe Village, you don't want to help. Is it reasonable for you to not help?"
"Have you forgotten who raised you after your parents passed away?"
"Cousin Changqing, stop talking!"
Ruan Shuting's chest rose and fell, she clenched her fists slightly, looked at Qiulan and said, "Go, give him ten taels of silver and let him go."
"lady!?"
"Go ahead."
Ruan Changqing said from the corner of his mouth: "Ruan Shuting, I am your mother's family. I finally came to visit you once, but you just sent me away with ten taels of silver?"
"Then how many do you want?"
A deep and dignified shout came from outside the main hall.
Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing official robes walked into the hall with swift steps. His eyes were extremely sharp and he looked directly at Ruan Changqing.
"How about I give you a gold mountain?"
Meeting Lu Ning's eyes, Ruan Changqing was almost frightened.
But when he saw Lu Ning, a young man, he quickly calmed down and shouted inwardly: "You, who are you?"
"Ha! You don't even know me, how dare you act so arrogantly here?"
Lu Ning laughed angrily at Ruan Changqing.
In fact, in my memory, there is indeed Ruan Changqing.
When my sister-in-law Ruan Shuting married into the Lu family, Ruan Changqing was accompanying her as her cousin. However, this man was greedy and plundered many good things from the Lu family when he left. He almost even took away his eldest brother's wedding gift.
It's simply shameless.
At that time, Lu Ning was only eleven years old and was very disgusted with Ruan Changqing, so he stabbed Ruan Changqing in the butt from behind with a tree branch.
For this he was beaten up by Lao Lu.
When he stabbed him so hard, Ruan Changqing had no impression of him?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Ruan Changqing pointing at Lu Ning: "You, are you Lu Er?"
Kong Rong was very discerning, stepped forward and shouted: "I want to call you Mr. Lu!"
Ruan Changqing was frightened by Kong Rong's momentum, his expression was gloomy, and he suddenly grinned and said: "Master Lu, Chang'an, I am your cousin Changqing, don't you remember?"
"Remember, I remember I poked your butt. Does it still hurt?" Lu Ning said with a smile.
"you……!"
Hearing this, Ruan Changqing's face turned red with anger, but when he met Lu Ning's eyes, he finally held back and said with a smile: "You are a naughty child, but I don't take your cousin seriously."
You didn't take it seriously, when I was beaten up by Lao Lu?
Lu Ning glanced at him and said, "Not to mention cousins, I, Lu Ning, don't have any cousins, I only have one eldest brother."
"If you dare to be rude to my sister-in-law, you are rude to me, Lu Ning."
"Get out."
Ruan Changqing's face flushed, and he stood up obediently and rolled out on the spot.
This scene made Ruan Shuting and Ruan Ping stunned.
"father!"
Ruan Ping hurriedly went to pull Ruan Changqing, but found that he could not pull Ruan Changqing at all. His father was as heavy as a mountain.
Ruan Changqing also knew that he was doing something embarrassing, but he found that he was out of control, as if a ghost had hit a wall, and his eyes were filled with panic.
Ruan Shuting couldn't stand it and said, "Chang'an, forget it."
In any case, Ruan Changqing was her cousin. Her parents died early that year, and it was thanks to her uncle's family who raised her. Although he was not very good to her, he still raised her for several years.
Moreover, my uncle and the villagers paid and worked hard to bury my father and mother’s graves.
She has never forgotten this kindness.
Even if Ruan Changqing is greedy, but let him get out of Lu Mansion and return to Ruanhe Village, he must not say bad things about her or poke her spine to the villagers.
It's even possible to pick up her parents' graves.
Meeting his sister-in-law's eyes, Lu Ning suppressed his anger, turned back and stared at Ruan Ping and said: "Hel your father up."
Ruan Ping was angry and did not respond to Lu Ning, but he found that he could not pull his father back just now.
However, with Lu Ning's words, he seemed to have endless strength, and he picked up his father like a chicken.
"..."
Ruan Ping looked stunned.
Ruan Changqing also looked stunned and couldn't help shouting: "Naughty kid, why are you using so much strength?"
"Dad, I...!"
Ruan Ping opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
At this time, Lu Ning said to Kong Rong: "Go to the accounting office to get fifty taels of silver and let them take it away..."
As he spoke, he turned into a spiritual voice and said, "After leaving, capture his father and son and take them to a secluded place."
Kong Rong was about to answer when he was suddenly stunned when he heard the words behind him.
I looked around and saw no one responded, so I understood immediately.
He immediately nodded calmly: "It's my lord."
Seeing this, Ruan Shuting breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the embarrassed Ruan Changqing and said: "The Lu family has official robes, but the official is the second brother, not the eldest brother Chang Wen, but the second brother is young and we haven't separated our families yet."
"In a few years, when the second brother gets married, the family will still be separated."
"The fifty taels of silver today are not my money. They all belong to my second brother. If you take them, go back as soon as possible."
Ruan Changqing was silent after hearing this, but Ruan Ping said: "Auntie, my father and I came here to find work, but we didn't find any work, how can we go back?"
Ruan Shuting glanced at him: "You are still young, why don't you learn a skill and find a job?"
Ruan Changqing snorted softly: "Isn't it necessary to spend family money to learn a skill? Now that you are old, it's time to work and earn money."
Hearing this, Ruan Shuting did not respond. She knew very well who Ruan Changqing was, and it would be useless to say more.
Ruan Ping, on the other hand, looked at his father, then at Lu Ning, and suddenly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Ruan Shuting, pleading: "Auntie, the harvest in the village was not good last year, there was not enough food, and my grandparents were all hungry.
For three days, my mother and sister also have one meal a day."
"Take some money and go back. My hair won't grow long after all. Please ask my aunt to find a job for me and my father in the city so that our family can survive."
Ruan Shuting saw that Ruan Ping was jealous and wanted to cry. Seeing how pitiful the child was, she felt compassion for him.
However, Ruan Changqing snorted coldly: "What do you want her to do? She can't be the master of the family."
Hearing this, Ruan Shuting's heart hardened.
"Ping'er, get up."
"Your father is right. My aunt can't decide this family. After you get the money, you and your father can go out and work if you can find any work. If you can't find any, go back to the village first."
"The city of Beijing and Zhou has not been peaceful recently. Don't get caught and thrown into jail. You won't be able to get out."
Hearing this, a flash of fear flashed in Ruan Changqing's eyes. He came to Beijing and Zhou to look for work. Of course he knew that the empress had just ascended the throne and the imperial city was still in chaos. If he was not careful, he would be caught by the officials as spies.
At this moment, Kong Rong came over with fifty taels of silver, packed the silver in front of Ruan Changqing, and then gave it all to Ruan Changqing.
Ruan Changqing, who was holding the money, his wrists were shaking a little because he was excited. He hurriedly called his son Ruan Ping to leave the Lu family.
Ruan Ping was a little unwilling. Although he was young, he just wanted to have a career and achieve greater success.
My aunt's family is rich and powerful. If we can take advantage of the situation, a mere fifty taels of silver will be nothing.
It's all his father's fault, not to mention being greedy for money and not being able to recognize reality and his own identity.
Don't even look at Aunt Shuting, where do you live now? Do you still think she was easy to bully in the past?
Ruan Ping sighed inwardly, looked at Lu Mansion with envy, and reluctantly left with Ruan Changqing.
Out of Lu Mansion.
Ruan Changqing was planning to go to Zuilefang to eat wine and listen to music. After all, he had never been to that place. Now that he was rich, he had to go and enjoy it.
However, before leaving the inner city, a linen bag was put over his head.
"Who, who?"
"Robbery in broad daylight..."
As he was shouting, he was knocked unconscious with a stick.
Ruan Ping didn't even see who it was, so he was knocked unconscious and carried away in a sack.
…
Lu Fuzhong.
In the main hall, Lu Ning dismissed all the maids and servants, and even the little girl was taken out.
"Second brother, are you angry with your sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law is joking. It's only fifty taels of silver. Even if it's fifty taels of gold, my sister-in-law can also make the decision." Lu Ning chuckled.
"Oh, you are becoming more and more impressive!"
Ruan Shuting chuckled lightly, her beautiful eyes flashed and said: "Second brother, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Lu Ning nodded, sat aside and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you about someone."
Ruan Shuting asked: "Who is it?"
Lu Ning said: "Do you know Ruan Hongxing from Hongjia Town, Ruanhe Village?"
In fact, he heard the conversation between Ruan Changqing and his sister-in-law just now.
Ruan Changqing mentioned Ruan Hongxing and called Aunt Hongxing, so her sister-in-law also had to call her aunt.
"I have never met her, but I know that I have to call her aunt." Ruan Shuting said with a deep eyebrow.
Ruan Hongxing has been dead for more than thirty years. She is only twenty-three years old this year. How could she have seen Ruan Hongxing?
Curious in her heart, she continued: "Why did the second brother mention her?"
Lu Ning said: "I have official duties, and she is involved in the case of Prince Yong'an. I just want to know more about it."
When Ruan Shuting heard that the matter was serious, she did not dare to ask again and said: "Aunt Hongxing, I have never met her, but when she was a maid in the palace, I heard that she helped the village a lot. People in the village mentioned her.
I am very grateful.”
"She is probably one of the more promising people in the village in the past hundred years."
"I heard that he later offended Emperor Mingwu and died in the palace."
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, that's all you know?"
Ruan Shuting thought about it carefully and nodded: "That's all."
Lu Ning didn't ask any more questions. He had to ask the older people in Ruanhe Village about this matter.
In fact, it is mentioned in the file that the Demon Suppressor checked everyone in Ruanhe Village back then, but did not find any clues.
But the demon suppressor is not omnipotent, and not all problems can be investigated clearly.
Sometimes, extraordinary measures have to be used.
"Sister-in-law, we were talking just now and you were rotting in your stomach."
"Second brother doesn't tell me, but my sister-in-law also understands."
Lu Ning said nothing and strode out of the main hall.
After leaving Lu Mansion, Kong Rong changed into a black outfit and prepared his carriage.
Inside the carriage, Lu Ning changed into black clothes.
After a while, I arrived at the western end of Antai Square, outside a relatively remote courtyard.
Lu Ning's consciousness swept across and saw that there was no suspicious person following him. He got off the carriage and walked quickly into the yard.
Then Kong Rong and others filed in, and locked the door bolt after entering the yard.
He took out a black hood and quickly put it on.
Lu Ning did the same. After tying up, he strode to a woodshed.
"Kudong!"
He kicked the door, and the woodshed door was kicked open immediately.
In the woodshed, Ruan Changqing and the two woke up not long after they fainted. When they heard that the door was kicked open and they couldn't see anything, they started yelling in fright.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I have money, I will give you money..."
Lu Ning was about to go up and kick Ruan Changqing when he noticed a pool of yellow liquid flowing out from under the sack. It smelled very unpleasant.
What a coward! Before I even started to scare him, everyone was already scared to death.
Kong Rong glanced at Lu Ning, stepped forward, picked up the sack where Ruan Changqing was, and threw it to the other side. Two people stepped forward to untie the sack and exposed Ruan Changqing's head.
I saw five men in black, wearing scary hoods and holding bright long knives in their hands.
For a moment, Ruan Changqing hugged his head in fear, trembling all over, and yelling: "Don't kill me, I'm just a farmer, I don't know anything, I have money, I'll give you money..."
With that said, he took out the fifty taels of silver he had just taken from the Lu Mansion.
Although I feel very sad to give up, life is important!
Lu Ning took fifty taels of silver in his hand and threw it to Kong Rong.
Kong Rong took the silver and threw it to the three people behind him, and waved to the three people, who turned around and guarded outside the woodshed.
Lu Ning stepped on Ruan Changqing's body, which made Ruan Changqing tremble with fright, rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
Snap!
Seeing this, Lu Ning slapped him on the head.
Ruan Changqing felt pain suddenly and didn't bother to roll his eyes.
"Do you know Ruan Hongxing?"
Lu Ning lowered his voice and asked, his voice becoming deep and rich.
Ruan Changqing held his head, and upon hearing Ruan Hongxing nodded hurriedly: "I know you, sir. If you want to ask me anything, as long as I know it, I will tell you everything!"
"Have you met her?"
"I've seen her before. I was eight years old when she died."
