Du He just returned to the county government office.
Zhang Jian came in and reported: "Master, Lu Mingyu wants to see you."
Du He: "No!"
Zhang Jian went out to send Lu Mingyu away, but came back a short time later and said, "Master, this guy is coming in a big way. He said he has a business deal to discuss with you. If you miss it, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Okay, let him in!" Du He looked grim.
After a while, Lu Mingyu walked into the lobby.
Lu Mingyu's face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were full of madness, like a madman.
Du He sat on the chair and greeted him calmly: "Second Master Lu, I said goodbye yesterday and you are all right. I have heard a little bit about the tragedy in Lu's compound. It's really... you deserve it. You said you are doing well."
The Lu family can't make money by doing business well, so they have to make gunpowder. To tell you the truth, this gunpowder was invented by my young master. I am fully aware of its dangers. I have a friend named Nobel, who is also famous for making gunpowder.
Gunpowder hurts the family..."
Lu Mingyu suddenly pointed at Du He and said crazily: "Du He... Du He, you are so cruel. You actually cheated and killed my whole family. You are so poisonous, you are so poisonous!"
Du He's face darkened: "What kind of mad dog dared to talk nonsense here?"
"Du He, I'm here today not to argue with you about right or wrong. I'm here to negotiate a deal with you."
"Oh? Mr. Lu is indeed a businessman. All the Lu clan members in Hu County are gone. Do you still have the intention to negotiate business with me?" Du He smiled.
Lu Mingyu said sternly: "Du He, people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. This time, it was my eldest brother who was careless and fell into your hands. However, you underestimated our Lu family. The Fanyang Lu family is known among the people as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes."
First, many officials in the court and localities are from our Lu family. Although my eldest brother and I are among the top figures in Chang'an and are in charge of the Lu family's business in Chang'an, within the clan, we are just small figures.
That's all, the real Lu family is definitely bigger and more powerful than you think. Du He, if I send the news back to Fan Yang and say that you designed to kill more than fifty of my Lu family members in Hu County, just wait.
Just follow the Lu family’s crazy revenge, the Lu family has hundreds of years of foundation and plenty of time and energy to spend with you.”
Du He stood up, patted his chest, and pretended to be scared: "Second Master Lu, don't talk nonsense. When did I design to kill your Lu clan members? Now the county government has investigated clearly, Lu Mingan and others
The cause of death of a person is privately manufactured gunpowder, what does it have to do with me? Do you believe it or not, I will sue you for slander!"
"Hmph," Lu Mingyu snorted coldly, "Do you think I don't know what private gunpowder is? The secret recipe for making glass is fake. My eldest brother made gunpowder according to the secret recipe, and then destroyed the entire Lu family compound.
They were all blown into rubble, do you dare to say that you were not responsible for all this?"
Du He said loudly: "I dare, all this has nothing to do with me."
Lu Mingyu: "..."
Lu Mingyu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but when he turned around and saw the tall Lu Bu at the door, he immediately gave up.
He bit his lip and said: "Du He, are you really going to kill the fish? You designed to kill my Lu family members. It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not. It's true. It's enough for me, the Lu family, to believe it. Now, there are already
The news came out that Prime Minister Du will retire soon. By then, you, Mrs. Du, will no longer have any influence in the court. Although you married two princesses, the Supreme Emperor has decreed that you are not allowed to serve as an official in the court, nor can you obtain a title.
, Even if His Majesty wants to protect you and favor you now, what if one day the whole court will actually attack you? Can you bear such a result? "
Du He was stunned and asked: "You, Mr. Lu, can you influence the court?"
"The Fan Yang Lu family is definitely stronger than you think!" Lu Mingyu said proudly.
You can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree!
Although Lu Mingyu is just a minion of the Lu family, he is the representative of the Lu family's business in Chang'an, so he is naturally confident when he speaks.
Du He thought for a while and said calmly: "It seems that I underestimated you. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Lu Mingyu's eyes lit up, and Du He finally came forward: "The conditions are very simple. You hand over the real secret recipe for glass manufacturing, and I will send it to Fan Yang. From now on, your Dream Group will no longer make glass. This matter will be written off. I will
I can guarantee that I, Mrs. Lu, will never make things difficult for you."
"that's all?"
"That's right!"
"If I hand over the secret recipe for making glass, what if you, Mrs. Lu, don't let it go?"
Lu Mingyu smiled and changed his words: "Prince-in-law Du, don't worry, I, Mrs. Lu, am not a shameless person."
"Hahaha……"
Du He suddenly laughed heartily.
"Hahaha……"
Lu Mingyu also laughed.
Du He waved his hand: "Come here, take this crazy guy down, break his legs, and throw him out!"
Several burly men rushed in from the door and forced Lu Mingyu out.
Lu Mingyu was stunned immediately.
Didn’t we have a good conversation just now?
How can you say that if you fall out, you will fall out!
"Prince Du, what do you mean?"
"Prince-in-law, spare my life!"
"Du He, do you really want to be my enemy, the Lu family?"
"Duhe..."
"ah……"
"ah……"
…
Du He sneered and said: "A small businessman dares to negotiate terms with this young master, and dares to use the Lu family to pressure me. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
Ma Zhou walked in and whispered: "Master, there is something under the tree that I don't know whether to say or not."
"Old Ma, you want to say that I rejected Lu Mingyu's conditions and broke his legs, which was a bit hasty, right?" Du He asked rhetorically.
Ma Zhou nodded: "Exactly, Lu Mingyu is a bit frivolous, but what he said still makes some sense. The Lu tree has deep roots, so it's better not to provoke it, otherwise it will be a hornet's nest! Young Master
, think twice.”
Du He smiled, "Old Ma, I know what you mean, but as the Dream Group continues to develop, it has become a thorn in the side of many people. After all, killing people's money is like killing their parents. The people at the bottom get the benefits, but like Lu
However, nobles like the Clan have suffered heavy losses. They can't sit still and are interested in the glass business. If I take a step back, other nobles will not be able to kill me like a sheep. They may be interested in printing.
It's the business of a furniture factory, it's white pork, it's potatoes, it's peppers, people are not satisfied with it, it's like a snake swallowing an elephant, these guys have big appetites, even a Dream Group may not be enough to stuff their teeth... If that's the case, let's do it with Lu's
, kill one to serve as a warning to others!"
Ma Zhou was stunned.
He hadn't thought about it so much before.
Thinking about it now, Du He's idea was very dangerous, but he had to take this step.
"Master, if you take one step, look at three or even four steps, your subordinates will admire you." Ma Zhou couldn't help but say.
When it comes to managing internal affairs and executing decisions, these are Ma Zhou's strengths, but when it comes to making plans, especially unbridled ideas, Ma Zhou thinks he can't keep up with Du He even if he is flattering.
