The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 345 Lu Family's Attitude

"Boss, boss, what are you doing? The old man of the Lu family is talking to you."

Following Zhang San, the Jin Yiwei who came to the lobby together had a look of embarrassment.

After entering the Lu family compound, they waited in the lobby. Except for Zhang San and a brother from a hundred families who went in, the rest were under martial law outside the door.

Not long after, Lu Hongzhi, the old man of the Lu family, came over with his granddaughter Lu Shuang.

It was nothing special at first, but when Zhang San saw Lu Shuang for the first time, he froze in a daze.

No matter how Lu Hongzhi bowed and saluted, he didn't respond at all, he just stared at Lu Shuang.

After the embarrassment, the following hundred households couldn't help but think in their hearts: the boss has always been honest with women, and he thought he was infected with the bad habits of his boss, but now it seems that he has not met the right person.

This is not bad, the boss should be married at this age, let the past things go away.

Thinking of this, Baihu's eyes towards Lu Hongzhi and Lu Shuang have become a little friendly.

About Zhang San, these brothers have heard more or less, but they seldom talk about it. After all, no one has any sad memories.

Most of those who followed the boss could not survive.

Those who can survive, more or less, have been contaminated with eating human flesh.

It's just that there are relatively few people who have eaten their own family members like Zhang San.

Lu Shuang blushed and lowered her head, not daring to face Jin Yiwei's fiery gaze.

Although she often acts with grandpa, she always disguises herself as a man, and occasionally has some disgusting and veiled eyes, which she pretends not to see.

It was the first time I stared directly at her like this, and when my daughter was dressed.

Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough! ! ! !

Lu Hongzhi's throat was almost useless from coughing. It was a fake cough, but suddenly he didn't pay attention, and it turned into a real cough.

Lu Shuang hurriedly helped Grandpa calm down.

"Like, really like, so much like."

Zhang San's lips moved slightly, and only he could hear the mumbling voice.

The first time he saw Lu Shuang, he was completely shocked.

He used to have a family.

That was his younger sister, only one or two years apart in age.

The famine when I was a child, the way my sister looked at me after my sister left.

He will never forget it in his life.

After so many years, my sister's appearance has gradually become blurred in my mind, but those eyes, those watery eyes, are getting clearer and clearer.

Waking up in the middle of the night is hard to forget.

In front of Lu Shuang, whether it is the eyes or the appearance of the eyes, he is too similar to his sister.

However, Zhang San also knows that this is definitely not his sister. There is still a big difference in the overall appearance. The only similarity is the eyes.

As Zhang San came back to his senses, the awkward atmosphere in the lobby gradually dissipated.

Everyone seemed to think that there was no such thing just now.

In Lu Hongzhi's eyes, the flow between his granddaughter and the thousand households in front of him is intriguing.

Lu Shuang lowered her head slightly, a trace of sadness flashed deep in her eyes.

However, he raised his head, still smiling.

"My lord, I don't know if I came to the old Lu's house, but I have some errands. If there is anything that needs the help of the Lu family, the lord can just ask, and the whole Lu family will do their best to help the lord."

Lu Hongzhi got up again, bowed to Zhang San and said.

Zhang San came back to his senses, he clasped his fists in return when he saw this, and said: "I am here this time because I was ordered to investigate the high-level elders of the Beggar Clan."

"Informants have sent news that Mrs. Lu has been quite diligent in going to the market recently. Especially yesterday afternoon, it was the time when we and the Jinyiwei joined forces with the Secretary of Public Security to arrest the Beijing Teacher's Beggar Gang under the order of His Royal Highness."

"Dare to ask the old man if he has been to the workshop before yesterday's time."

Weishi is between one and three o'clock in the afternoon.

This period of time was when the Secretary of Public Security began to arrest people.

Lu Hongzhi replied calmly: "It was late yesterday, the old man did go to the workshop, and he brought his granddaughter with him."

"However, what does this have to do with the arrest of the Beggar Gang by the Secretary of Public Security and Jin Yiwei? Although our Lu family is not considered wealthy, we can still be regarded as a scholarly family. The inheritance can be traced back to the end of the Han Dynasty, and there are also several distinguished ancestors."

"Up to now, although our heirs and grandchildren have not lived up to expectations, there have been a few scholars who have promoted people, and there are not a few scholars."

"It hasn't reached the point where I want to mix up with that beggar. It just makes people laugh. If it goes on like this, what face will I have to meet my ancestors?"

Lu Hongzhi spoke grandly and with a high tone.

It seems that it is a great humiliation to associate their Lu family with the beggar gang.

The current Eight Great Masters in the south of the Yangtze River have been inherited for a long time in the true sense.

In the family tree of the Lu family, the most famous person is Lu Xun of the Three Kingdoms.

Yiling defeats Liu Bei, and Shiting defeats Cao Xiu. It can be said that the descendants of the Lu family must know the glory of their ancestors.

Of course, it has been more than a thousand years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After experiencing the bloodbath of the Yuan Dynasty, there is no one to say whether it is the direct line of the main house.

Anyway, the surname is Lu, and it is still in the same place. After all, it is related to the relatives. If the family population is prosperous, it must have a glorious forerunner.

When compiling a genealogy, it doesn't matter much whether it is really an ancestor.

After Zhang San listened, he was not moved by Lu Hongzhi. He took a deep look at Lu Hongzhi and said, "The beggar gang has a huge number of people, with many eyes and ears, and there are not a few participants for their own interests."

"Even the Jinyiwei, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, naturally have a filial piety."

"Old Master Lu's words can be fooled by others, so there is no need to say them in front of the official. It just makes people laugh."

"The demise of the beggar gang was not due to other reasons, but because of the hidden harvesting and cutting, which is not tolerated by the world."

"In the future, there will always be people who hide evil, secretly protect them, and share a share of the money. They will never stop, and they will not be killed cleanly."

"This time, His Highness Taisun's decree is to completely eliminate them, even the Beggar Gang."

"The old man understands."

Zhang San said slowly, and he didn't shy away from some inside stories in his words.

In his capacity, it is natural to say, and Zhang San also knows that these families have deep roots and many doorways, so it is better to put them directly on the table, so as not to be twisted and turned around by them.

These words made the old man's face pale instantly.

He didn't expect Jin Yiwei to be so straightforward, but while his heart was shaking, he looked at his granddaughter and had an idea.

Thinking in my heart: It seems that my affairs have not been exposed, but have been observed by interested people.

This Jin Yiwei has never seen such a polite person when doing business, and he has always been arrested.

This Qianhu must have seen Shuang'er somewhere, then received the news, and came to the door specially.

This thing about the beggar gang is just a rhetoric.

After thinking it over in his heart, Lu Hongzhi relaxed a little.

"My lord, I promise in the name of my ancestors that I have never done such dirty things as harvesting and cutting off the beggars' gang, and I have never taken half of the money in it."

"The Jingshi beggar gang has the largest number of gangs, and some secret channels, or some business, have the fastest sources of information."

"Not only the old Lu's family, but also the business gangs of all parties, or the lord's yamen, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, all have contacts with him. Buying and selling information has always been a major income of the beggar gang."

"The old man went to the shop in the past, except to buy some rouge and gouache for his beloved Shuang'er, he did buy some information, and that's all."

"Your Excellency also knows that families like the old people cherish their reputation the most, and it is even more so when they moved from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital. Therefore, there is no way to talk about collusion with the beggar gang, and there is no need for it."

Lu Hongzhi's words really came from the bottom of his heart.

Speaking of the Lu family alone, it has nothing to do with the Beggar Gang, it is himself, acting in secret.

He, Lu Hongzhi, incarnated as an elder with the surname Chen, and was listed in the top ranks of the Beggar Clan. He had two main ideas.

One is that there is an extra path in the dark.

There is another information that does not cost money.

The power in the beggar gang, because of the fear of being exposed, is probably equivalent to a name.

After all, whenever there is a major event, there will be a meeting within the gang.

Go to the intelligence office to get some information, in the name of the elder, there is no cost.

Compared with this, Lu Hongzhi's words are not wrong.

After Zhang San listened, he nodded slightly after thinking about it in his heart.

From all perspectives, there is a high probability that the Lu family did not participate in the business of harvesting and cutting.

After saying a few words casually, Zhang San got up and prepared to leave.

"Shuang'er, send Zhang Qianhu off."

After Lu Hongzhi stood up and bowed, he instructed Lu Shuang beside him.

"Yes, Grandpa." Lu Shuang replied with a blessing.

Zhang San wanted to say something, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't refuse in the end.

Maybe it's because he feels a little more close to this woman who is somewhat similar to his sister.

Today's Zhang San is unaccompanied. Although he holds a lot of power in the capital, there is no way to make up for the emptiness in his heart.

Seeing Zhang San's expression, Lu Hongzhi smiled.

Lu Shuang blushed slightly, got up and followed.

The hundred households who followed were extremely proud.

As soon as I walked out of the lobby to the front yard, several brothers came over and asked, "Boss, what should I say, are we going to take everyone away?"

As soon as the words fell, the Baihu immediately said impatiently: "Go, go, what do you know, go away, don't delay the boss's business."

While talking, pulling people left and right, they walked out of the courtyard together.

Most of the brothers were stunned and didn't understand what was going on, but at this moment, Lu Shuang lowered his head slightly and appeared from behind.

In an instant, there was no need to say anything, everyone understood.

After they dispersed, only Zhang San and Lu Shuang were left in the front yard.

Naturally, there would be no blind servants and maidservants appearing, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

"My lord." Lu Shuang said softly.

She really didn't know how to speak. Although she knew what grandpa meant and felt a little uncomfortable, she grew up in the family and knew that this day would eventually come.

Looking at Lu Shuang, Zhang San gently raised his hand, wanting to help her smooth the loose long hair on her forehead.

Lu Shuang had never been so close to the opposite sex before, subconsciously took half a step back.

Zhang San's raised hand just stopped stiffly in the air.

Of course, he didn't have any other ideas, but he combed his sister's hair when he was a child.

With a slight sigh, Zhang Sanneng said: "Just send it here."

Then turned to leave.

Lu Shuang froze, at a loss, not knowing whether to continue sending or just stop.

After hesitating, Zhang San had already left.

The entrance of Lu's house was empty, Zhang San pushed it away without thinking too much.

"Ouch!"

The opened door seemed to have bumped into multiple objects. After opening the door, Zhang San couldn't help but cry. It turned out that more than a dozen brothers were listening to the corner of the wall at the door.

"Boss, why are you walking so silently? Only when you heard some movement, people came."

"Hey, don't press me down, boss, you're too fast, I'm counting, I don't have three hundred breaths, is this over?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the boss be such a person?"

"Who's talking nonsense, the first time I did it, I only took a few tens of breaths of effort, and I haven't even finished taking off this clothes, so it's gone."

"You bastard, you still have the face to say, this is laughing at me to death, hahaha."

"piss off!!!"

Zhang San's face had completely darkened, and he said coldly: "Go back to the Yamen, today's special training, I think you guys are itchy after a long rest, so train hard."

Suddenly, there was a sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves.

In the courtyard at the moment.

"Shuang'er, you are usually so smart, why did you fail to grasp this critical moment?"

"This is Jinyiwei Qianhu, a first-class high-ranking official. Don't look at the high-ranking officials, but in this imperial city, even the most important officials in the court, few dare to provoke them."

"Even when Shang Shu meets, he has to give three points of face. This position of a thousand households can be said to be hereditary. How can he keep such an opportunity for nothing?"

Lu Hongzhi's tone of voice was heart-wrenching.

Thousand households of Jinyiwei, this is a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

Even if there is a champion in the family, there is no way to compare it, the concept is completely different.

If he could marry his granddaughter, who would dare to provoke the Lu family in this capital dynasty?
Just now, Lu Hongzhi hid at the side of the courtyard door, pricked up his ears and listened, he could see a little in the crevices of the stones.

Seeing his granddaughter's ignorant attitude, Lu Hongzhi almost couldn't help himself to replace her.

"But, my grandson still doesn't understand these things, and I've never had contact with anyone on weekdays, me," Lu Shuang explained.

Lu Hongzhi hated iron and steel and said: "Even if it's reserved, you have to hint to him. You can't let adults talk about such things."

"Furthermore, why did Shuang'er avoid when he reached out his hand just now? That was a great opportunity."

Thinking of just now, Lu Hongzhi felt a dull pain in his heart, so he covered it.

"Grandpa, next time, next time I will definitely not retreat." Seeing this, Lu Shuang hurriedly stepped forward to help Grandpa calm down.

"Eh!"

Lu Hongzhi sighed and said: "This is such a good opportunity, I don't know if there will be another time."

"Zhang San from this thousand households seems to be a kind person. Naturally, it is not a loss for Shuang'er to marry him. However, I don't know the situation yet. I will ask someone to inquire tomorrow to see if there is a family."

Speaking of this, Lu Hongzhi said with some pity: "If you have a family, you can only make Shuang'er feel wronged."

Lu Shuang's complexion turned pale when he listened.

In Daming today, there is no such thing as three wives and four concubines.

The royal family does not talk about it, it is like the folks, but it is a serious monogamy, and the status of the concubine is not much different from that of a maid.

Sending someone off and staying in bed is a common thing.

Lu Shuang grew up in the family, so he is well-versed in these matters and has a lot of knowledge.

Thinking of this, Lu Shuang couldn't help saying: "Grandpa, no grandson."

Lu Hongzhi raised his hand to interrupt, and said earnestly, "This is a thousand households of Jinyiwei. In this imperial city, it can be said that they can call the wind and call the rain."

"If this Qianhu is jealous because of Shuang Er's matter, there are more than three hundred people in our Lu family, I'm afraid it won't get a good result."

"Shuang'er also knows about Jinyiwei. Even if he Zhang Qianhu doesn't do it himself, those brothers who follow him can give us a little bit of trouble. There is no way for our Lu family to survive."

"Shuang'er is also aware of the current family situation. If you are in Jiangnan, you don't have to worry about it. But we, there is no chance of returning to Jiangnan."

"In this capital city, it can be said that it is in crisis every step of the way. It is supported by your second uncle and third uncle. You know the temper of the current emperor."

"Look at your second and third uncles. Every morning when you go to court, you burn incense and pray. If you don't see anyone at the next court, you cry like a tearful person. The suicide note in the cabinet in the room is almost It's full."

"If something really happens someday, our Lu family will have nothing to rely on, I'm afraid it will happen"

As he spoke, Lu Hongzhi's voice choked up, with tears streaming down his face, and he seemed to remember some past events, so he stood against the wall.

You must know that the Lu family used to have thousands of people, but today, there are more than three hundred people.

Some stories during this period are really unbearable.

Lu Shuang supported his grandfather, and said sadly: "Grandpa, I promise you, no matter what, I will definitely marry him!"
