My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 106 Uninvited Guest

Zhen Yi did not accompany them this time, but sent an old steward to lead the team.

Seeing this, Lu Yi didn't think much about it. Zhen Yi was the eldest son of this generation of the Zhen family and the next head of the Zhen family. Even if he wanted to come, the Zhen family probably wouldn't allow such an important person to always come to a remote place like Jiuyuan.

Not to mention that Jiuyuan is not that safe either, and there is a possibility that it may be looted by foreign races coming south at any time.

Therefore, both Lu Yi and Zhen's old steward were very polite.

After spending a day counting all the supplies and payments, the Zhen caravan hurried back to Zhongshan.

The caravan is an important asset of the Zhen family, a hen that lays golden eggs. It is impossible for the caravan to be idle easily, and the remaining value must be squeezed out.

The last stay of nearly half a month was a special case.

Zhen Yi is the young patriarch of the Zhen family and naturally enjoys great power. Let alone staying for a few days, even disbanding the last caravan is just a matter of a word.

With sufficient 20,000 shi of grain and remaining payments for goods, Lu Yi's economic and food pressure suddenly eased.

The burden that had been weighing on his shoulders for half a year could finally be put down temporarily and he could take a break.

Although he always appears to be relaxed and at ease, the tremendous pressure he is under inside is unimaginable to outsiders.

In his previous life, he was just a student, although he knew some history and the routines involved.

But when he actually used it, he still had to think about it until midnight before he could sort out the next day's affairs.

He has to worry about everything: the economy, people's hearts, food, and land.

Now that the pressure was suddenly relieved, he did not feel comfortable and relaxed. Instead, he felt his hands and feet become weak.

After locking himself in the ancestral home and sleeping for a whole day and night, the aftereffects of excessive mental exhaustion gradually improved.

However, at this moment, a group of people claiming to be merchants from Zhongshan came uninvited and broke into Jiuyuan.

"Brother, these people came to Jiuyuan stealthily to inquire about you, and were discovered and tied up by the Jiuyuan Pavilion staff who were on leave." Lu Bu angrily threw the three people who were trapped like dumplings in front of Lu Yi and asked for instructions.

"Zhongshan merchants?" Lu Yi frowned when he heard this. "As far as I know, I have never cooperated with other merchants in Zhongshan except the Zhen family. Why did you come here uninvited?"

Among the three, there was a thin middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes who looked like the leader. Although he was in trouble, he still had an arrogant look on his face and did not worry about his situation at all.

He snorted coldly, and a sturdy middle-aged man who looked like a servant stood up immediately and said to Lu Yi in an extremely arrogant manner: "My master is Wang Fu, the patriarch of the Wang family, a large family in Zhongshan County. He has specially humbled himself to come to Jiuyuan Pavilion to visit the head of the Lu family. Who are you? How dare you tie us up?"

"Wang family of Zhongshan?" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He immediately understood the other party's identity and guessed the other party's possible purpose.

Ever since Lu Yi decided to start a horse trading business in Mayi, he naturally had to consider all aspects of the situation in detail.

As his main future competitor, the Wang family of Zhongshan, who had been trading horses in and out of Mayi for a long time, would naturally not be missed by him.

"I am the head of the Lu family you want to visit." Lu Yi's heart moved, and he continued to ask questions: "So you are from the Wang family of Zhongshan. I don't know why you did not stay in the wealthy Zhongshan County, but came to my remote Jiuyuan border to visit me?"

"If you don't ask, we will take the initiative to speak, but can you untie us first? I'm afraid it's not the right way to treat guests who have come from afar like this?" Another tall and thin subordinate also stood up and said with an unhappy look on his face. "I'm sorry..." Lu Yi's expression remained unchanged: "In addition to being the head of the Lu family, I also have another identity, that is, Jiuhe Village Chief. As a village chief, I have jurisdiction and responsibility for the security of the area. If you don't tell me your intentions first, I'm afraid I can't untie you first."

"Hmph! A mere village head dares to be an enemy of Wang's family in Zhongshan? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror first, what a piece of shit!" The burly man before couldn't help but snorted coldly when he heard this, his face full of contempt for Lu Yi.

"How dare you! How dare you be rude to my brother!" Lu Bu was furious when he heard this. He immediately drew his sword and put it on the man's neck. Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others also glared at him.

This man, who was originally very strong compared to ordinary people, was like a little chick in front of Lu Bu. He was almost scared to pee himself when he was rushed by Lu Bu's anger.

"This man came to Jiuyuan with a conspiracy, secretly investigating, and refused to answer the questions of this village chief. This village chief suspects that this man is most likely a spy sent by the Hu people. Come on, suppress this man, torture him severely, and make sure to find out his identity!" Lu Yi didn't tolerate him. Now that he was becoming more powerful, he would not take a Zhongshan country boy or a servant of a newly rich upstart seriously.

Not to mention a household servant, even if the leader Wang Fu dared to offend him, he would be beaten!
"Yes!" Gao Shun and Cheng Lian were overjoyed when they heard that. They immediately stepped forward with ferocious looks, holding the burly man on the left and right and trying to drag him out.

"You can't do this to me, I am from the Wang family of Zhongshan...Master, please save me!"

The burly man who had been so arrogant just now revealed his cowardly nature when he saw that Lu Yi was serious about it, and he cried out to his master for help.

"slow!"

At this time, the real owner, Wang Fu, saw that he could not escape, so he stood up, and the arrogance on his face was completely replaced by embarrassment.

"I am Wang Fu, the head of the Wang family. This man is my loyal servant and definitely not a spy from the Hu people. I hope Brother Lu can understand this."

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Lu Yi did not comment and had no intention of giving the order to stop.

Gao Shun and Cheng Lian immediately understood what was happening and without further ado, they dragged the burly man out of Lu Yi's old house and began to torture him in public on an open space.

Torture, torture.

One meaning is torture and beating.

Another meaning is to torture and beat.

"Say!"

"Are you a spy sent by the Hu people? Do you want to spy on my Jiuyuan intelligence?"

"Hurry up and tell me, or I'll beat you to death!"

Gao Shun and Cheng Lian had a good understanding of each other. They didn't even need to communicate. They beat the burly man who dared to offend Lu Yi until he cried for his parents. Not even a trace of arrogance could be seen.

"Oh my god! Please stop fighting. I am not a spy of the Hu people."

"Oh my, my leg is broken... Master, help me!!"
