Chapter 457 Prepare to cut off grain
  If he hadn't come with him today, he probably wouldn't have known that his father had joined forces with people from the palace, and how long he would have been deceived.

The palace had done so much harm to the Lu family, and had done so much harm to him, yet his father actually helped the palace. Wasn't this rubbing the face of the wealthy businessman of Yanzhou, the Lu family, on the ground?

Mr. Lu calmed down when he saw it was Lu Zhaoyin, and the anger gradually appeared on his face.

"You are so brave right now. You have actually learned how to eavesdrop. You don't need to intervene in this matter. Get out of here!" Mr. Lu yelled angrily and kept silent about what he had just discussed with Feng Molin.

Seeing that he refused to speak, Lu Zhaoyin felt that the Lu family had no place for him, and kept questioning: "I am also a Lu family, and I have the right to know about such a big thing happening in the Lu family right now!"

"It's not your fault that the Lu family is like this now. If you didn't offend the princess before, why are the Lu family so humble now and can't even do business well? Now you still know that you are from the Lu family. I don't think you are right. I know! Get back here right now, and I will pretend that what happened today never happened." Mr. Lu pointed at the door angrily, motioning for him to leave quickly.

We are outside now, and such a quarrel will definitely attract the attention of others. If today's events are leaked, the Lu family may be really doomed.

However, Lu Zhaoyin had no intention of leaving. He stared at Mr. Lu, and after a while, he made a guess in his mind based on the recent situation and the one or two words he had heard before.

"Right now, that young master has bought a lot of food for our family. This person is not from Yanzhou. He would rather spend a high price to buy food because there must be an emergency shortage. I heard that Princess Beihuang led people to burn Muyang Hou's food and grass some time ago. The person who wants to buy food must be from Marquis Muyang." Lu Zhaoyin revealed the identity of the person.

Mr. Lu was shocked, he had underestimated his son.

When Mr. Xue came to buy grain, he also guessed the identity of this person, but this matter was the prince's request, so he did not dare to say anything and could only comply.

Mr. Lu didn't say anything. He only listened to Lu Zhaoyin continue: "Now that the King of Beihuang is willing to sell grain to Marquis Muyang, he must be well prepared. I just heard you talking about leaving the city. The King of Beihuang must be thinking of taking advantage of the night. Grab the food from outside the city."

Lu Zhaoyin's words made Mr. Lu's heart beat suddenly. He actually knew everything.

"The situation is unclear at the moment. This matter is not something you can interfere with. Don't use your thoughts to speculate on the prince. Come back to me immediately!" Mr. Lu shouted.

Seeing Mr. Lu's anxious look, Lu Zhaoyin knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Dad, you are putting our Lu family in danger by doing this. Now that the emperor has sent Marquis Muyang to encircle and suppress him, it shows that the King of Beihuang has a rebellious heart and is a traitor. What can the King of Beihuang do with him? Confronting the emperor? If one day King Beihuang is caught and traced to us, then our Lu family will be all doomed!" Lu Zhaoyin continued to persuade Mr. Lu.

"What do you know! The prince is not the person you said. If Marquis Muyang is so powerful, why did he let the princess burn the food and grass? Remember it, everything you know today is rotten in my stomach. !" Mr. Lu saw that he didn't listen to the advice at all, and kept saying bad things about Feng Molin, and his old face turned red because of this.

Seeing that Lu Zhaoyin had no intention of leaving, Mr. Lu couldn't bear it anymore and immediately ordered the boy at the door: "Come here, take him back and keep him under guard. Don't let him out!"

Mr. Lu was furious. He couldn't let Lu Zhaoyin ruin the prince's good deeds.

"You dare! You can't touch me!" Lu Zhaoyin looked at the two boys coming over and kept pushing and shouting, but he was still controlled by the boys.

"I'm all for the good of the Lu family, you can't do this to me!" Lu Zhaoyin still roared at Mr. Lu.

However, Mr. Lu motioned to the young man to gag Lu Zhaoyin and secretly send him back to his house to be imprisoned.

Before leaving, Mr. Lu came to Lu Zhaoyin and said seriously: "I'm not dead yet. I am the head of the Lu family. The Lu family still has to listen to me!"

After saying that, Mr. Lu waved his hand. Soon Lu Zhaoyin was taken back to the Lu family and imprisoned. No matter how much he shouted, no one responded.

Lu Zhaoyin was so angry when he saw this scene: "When I get out, I will let you all know how powerful I am! I will let you know who is the king of Yanzhou!"

Soon it was late at night, and Mr. Lu prepared to trade grains as agreed, and gave his blessing to take Feng Molin and Xiao Qingqing to another route to avoid running into someone who would see their flaws.

According to the agreed time, Mr. Xue came with his men and was very satisfied to see that Mr. Lu had prepared food.

"As expected of Mr. Lu, he delivered the food so quickly. Mr. Lu can also think carefully about future cooperation." Mr. Xue sat on the horse and looked down at Mr. Lu, his words full of appreciation.

Fortunately, Mr. Lu was asked to deliver the food this time, otherwise their people would probably attract Feng Molin's attention.

"Since I promised the young master, I have to keep it. Look at this money..." Mr. Lu reminded, but he didn't mention anything about cooperation.

In order not to cause trouble, Mr. Xue immediately ordered someone to give the banknote to Mr. Lu.

After Mr. Lu counted the numbers, he saluted and said, "Master, go slowly. If you are still short of food next time, you can come to my Lu family's food store."

Mr. Lu had a smile on his face, but he knew in his heart that Mr. Xue would never happen again, but he still had to say polite words.

Mr. Xue ignored it and ordered people to go back quickly with the food.

The soldiers in the military camp today have nothing to eat. If they go back late, there will be complaints.

However, Mr. Xue didn't know that Xiao Qingqing and Feng Molin secretly watched the transaction between the two.

The two of them did not rush to take action, waiting for the two to part ways. The two led the soldiers towards the only way to Muyanghou's military camp in order to clear away the suspicion of the Lu family.

Mr. Xue is still happy to buy so much food. He will definitely be praised by Marquis Muyang when he goes back.

Xiao Qingqing, on the other hand, commanded the soldiers, pretending that they were training and met Mr. Xue by chance.

"Hey, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected harvest from today's training. Isn't this Mr. Xue?" Xiao Qingqing led people out, blocking Mr. Xue's way, and then her eyes fell on the cart being pushed by his men, "So many Could it be food?"

Mr. Xue was also frightened. He specifically chose to trade at night to avoid running into Feng Molin and the others, but he never expected that he would meet them anyway.

"Are you following me?" Mr. Xue became more vigilant, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand, ready to kill Xiao Qingqing.

However, when Feng Molin came out, Mr. Xue was even more frightened, but there was a hint of ruthlessness on his face. If he captured both Feng Molin and Xiao Qingqing today, he would definitely gain the emperor's favor.

In order to transport food back, he brought a lot of people with him this time. On the contrary, Feng Molin and the others only had a dozen or so people.
