Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 233;

When she came to the front hall again, Mrs. Luo was a little bit on pins and needles.

As for Lu Yaoyao, he still casually greeted him for tea.

She was not in a hurry to speak up, which made Mrs. Luo even more uneasy.

After waiting for a while, seeing that she didn't intend to speak, Mrs. Luo couldn't bear it anymore.

"I don't know what the county chief is talking about with the old man?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao put down the teacup, turned to look at Mrs. Luo, and asked with a faint smile, "What does the old lady think about the current situation in Dongzhou?"

Mrs. Luo was startled, a little confused, what did she mean by this question?
"Oh, no, to be precise, what do you think of the current situation of the Dongzhou family?"

"Family?"

Mrs. Luo pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't have much knowledge, so I'm afraid I can't answer the county lord's question."

She can understand the current situation of the family, but there are some things she can't say.

"Madam Luo is too modest."

"Actually, you have the answer in your heart, but you just don't want to answer it, or you dare not say it."

As soon as this remark came out, Luo Shi was shocked again, and looked at Lu Yaoyao with suspicion.

This girl is truly terrifying.

At such a young age, he can actually read people's hearts. Few of his peers can match this kind of ability.

"Since the county lord has seen it, there is no need for the old man to hide it."

When communicating with smart people, it is not good if you pretend to be ignorant when you communicate with smart people.

"The Son of Heaven has been doing well these past few years. Under his management, Dongzhou is clearly prospering."

"But if you want to truly prosper, the family is the number one stumbling block."

"The old lady thinks who will win among you?"

Lu Yaoyao asked again.

What she said made Roche a little surprised.

"Isn't the county master from His Majesty's faction?"

In her opinion, Lu Yaoyao has been helping His Majesty all the time, and he has received such a generous reward from His Majesty, so he is definitely a member of the emperor's group.

But now she says between you, which obviously excludes her.

This made Roche a little confused.

"I'm just a rural woman, how dare I climb high? Mrs. Luo thinks highly of me."

"It's just for self-preservation."

Hearing this, Luo Shi pondered for a while, indeed, the fundamental reason why Lu Yaoyao became like this is because of Xu Zhao's noble family.

At first, people just lived a small life in the village honestly.

It was Xu Zhaofei who wanted to bring him back to the capital, and then made a series of attacks.

It was Gao Yanming who really brought Lu Yaoyao back to this point. If Gao Yanming hadn't planned to frame the Lu family, Lu Yaoyao would not have offered those things to protect the Lu family.

Thinking of these, Roche felt depressed.

"I don't want to cause trouble, but trouble always comes to me, it's just a matter of necessity."

"The Dong family is one of the few sober people, and I don't hide some things."

"If the aristocratic family continues like this, its demise is inevitable."

Roche stood up in shock.

These words were a bit scary, but after a while, she sat down again.

"I don't know why the county lord feels this way?"

"It's very simple. Didn't you just say that the aristocratic family is the stumbling block to Dongzhou Daxing."

"However, your Dong family is not bad. Although there will be losses, it will not perish, but the other families are not so easy to talk about."

Her words were not unreasonable. The Dong family's main business was papermaking and printing, and they had a lot of scholars in their hands, and their reputation in Shilin was very high.

And they are still very sober, as long as they are not stupid, although there will be losses, they will not be destroyed. Even Emperor Hongwen would not want to see them perish.

After all, the court still needs civil servants. Although the Dong family has mastered many scholars and poses some threats to the court, there are many talented scholars among the scholars in their hands.

It would not be a good thing for Dongzhou if they were all wiped out.

As for the other families, especially the Han family and Wu family, they are very dangerous.

These two families hold salt and iron respectively, and these are things that the Dongzhou court must have in their hands no matter what.

Judging from the current performance of the Han family, it is absolutely impossible for them to hand it over.

It is self-evident that one does not pay, and the other has an urgent desire. In the end, the consequences will be self-evident.

As for the Wu family, although they didn't have a jumper, they had mastered the iron, which in itself was a serious crime, and those who didn't jump into a jumper would become one of the targets that Emperor Hongwen wanted to eliminate most.

"Is the magistrate's words serious?"

"Yes or no, Mrs. Luo will know when she returns."

"I only have one sentence. Everything I do is for self-protection, not to take the initiative to target anyone, especially the Dong family. I think we can be friends, not enemies."

As she spoke, she slowly got up again without taking Luo Shi to say anything.

Seeing this, Luo Shi also understood what she meant, and stood up without talking nonsense.

"I have written down the words of the county lord, and I will leave."

"I will send you."

Soon, Lu Yaoyao sent Luo Shi away.

When she returned to the courtyard, Qiushuang took the lead and asked, "Miss, do you want to make friends with the Dong family?"

"It's not a thought, it's just that I don't want to thank you for the trouble."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and shook his head.

She didn't have any deep hatred with the Dong family, and the other party had a good conversation this time.

She doesn't care if they get along well or not, but it's okay to keep the well water from the river water.

This is also the main reason why she wanted to show it in front of Roche.

Only when enough bargaining chips are put out, people will pay attention to it and make certain decisions carefully.

Today, she has already made it very clear. If the Dong family is really a sober person and can understand it, it is unlikely to make her feel uncomfortable.

If the other party pretends to be confused, or if he is not sober at all, she will not persuade her.

"In that case, let Han Yu go tomorrow."

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen turned his head and said to Wang De just after listening to the reports from the people below.

"Just let it go like this?"

Wang De didn't quite understand why Luo Shi went to visit Lu Yaoyao, and why did he want to release him immediately?

Isn't there any movement from Lu Yaoyao?

He had always believed that His Majesty's punishment of Han Yu was to vent his anger on Lu Yaoyao. During this time, many people came to plead for mercy, but His Majesty never let go.

It made him think that he would release him only if Lu Yaoyao came to plead for mercy.

Now Lu Yaoyao has not moved yet.

"How else?"

"She is the daughter-in-law of the Dong family."

Wang De was startled for a moment, but then he understood.

Yes, although this Han Yu was born in the Han family, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Dong family and belongs to the Dong family. Lu Yaoyao met Luo Shi and chatted for nearly an hour.

He also sent Luo Shi out in person, which can be regarded as an attitude of not wanting to have antagonism with the Dong family.

As for Emperor Hongwen, arresting Han Yu was to express to Lu Yaoyao on the one hand, she is the head of the county, and he, the emperor, would cover her.

It is also just to take this opportunity to beat and warn the people in the aristocratic family.
