Huainan Mansion, first watch, from seven o'clock to nine o'clock,
Lu Yan rode a carriage to the residence of Qian Rongwei, the commander of Xiang Army Capital.
After the announcement, the housekeeper quickly ran towards the house.
After a while, the door opened,
Qian Rongwei appeared in front of Lu Yan with a smile on his face and said: "Master Lu, Qian has come to meet you from afar!"
Looking at Qian Ronwei, Lu Yan stepped forward and said, "Sir Qian, Lu is here to disturb you. Why don't you go into the house and talk about it?"
"Please please please!"
Waving his hand sideways, Qian Ronwei was still very vigilant even though his face was full of smiles.
Why did Lu Yan from the Imperial City Department come to his house?
Is it because of the shortage? But for such a small matter, would Lu Yan come in person?
In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was common to live on empty wages.
Not to mention that stupid young people like Ma Chengen know this, even the current emperor of the Zhao family is also aware of this matter.
But there is no way, nothing can be changed!
Didn't Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi and others think about reform? The results of it? He was demoted one after another and died on the road.
Is Wang Anshi fierce enough? You’re holding back your husband! But how long does his reform last? People die and politics disappear!
Who is the only person who completed the reform? Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty!
A man who cared more for his country than his life lived for the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years before his death!
Otherwise, where would the three major campaigns of Wanli come from?
So, what is the most important thing about reform? It’s not about reform, it’s about resolving the people who raised the conflict!
Why can’t I change the law? Can’t we send you up the mountain?
If Wang Anshi had followed Lu, the Northern Song Dynasty would have conquered the whole world!
So what? Don't think twice about conservatives, because they are all vested interests!
If breaking the windows is not enough, then demolish the house.
He didn't believe it, even with the steel knife on his body, he could still stand and talk to someone like Lu!
Came to the living room of Qian Rongwei's mansion,
The two of them sat down one after another, but at this time, Qian Rongwei looked at Ma Chengen and said, "I see he looks familiar!"
"Oh, you mean Cheng'en? He used to be a subordinate of Colonel Wang Weishan of the Xiang Army, and now he's following me! Commander Qian Du, do you mind?"
Looking at Qian Ronwei, Lu Yan laughed and said,
"How can this be so? Since he has chosen Mr. Lu, he must have a brighter future!"
Qian Ronwei didn't feel embarrassed when he spoke with a smile.
Because there are as many such young people as there are in the Xiang army.
"This time, Lu wants to ask Commander Qian for a favor!"
With that said, Lu Yan said: "Niu Long, bring the things up!"
"Yes, sir!"
In front of outsiders, Niu Long still called him "adult" instead of eldest brother!
Otherwise, the scene would be awkward.
After all, the term "Big Brother" is a popular term!
As a martial arts master of the Imperial City Division, Lu Yan couldn't afford to lose his rank!
"Wow!"
The box was opened, and inside was an ingot of silver.
Looking up, there are as many as one hundred thousand taels!
Looking at Lu Yan in surprise, Qian Ronggei's face was covered in cold sweat.
Because Lu Yan spent such a large amount of money, what he did must be no small matter.
What if it's a job that involves losing your head?
Qian Rongwei didn't believe that Lu Yan would let him go if he didn't accept the money!
"Master Lu, what is it that makes you give such a generous gift?"
Looking at Lu Yan, Qian Rongwei expected that he had better keep the matter down, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it when the time comes!
"I heard that Mr. Qian had a grudge against the Zhu family? My father happened to be favored by the old lady of the Zhu family in the past. However, he has passed away, but I, Lu, am not a ungrateful person!"
Tapping his slender fingers on the chair, Lu Yan observed Qian Rongwei and immediately said again: "It's better to forget about it!"
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Qian Ronwei fell into deep thought.
When he was not yet rich, he was bullied by the Zhu family, which made Qian Rongwei always grudge.
Now that he is an official and a commander of the Xiang army, Qian Rongwei will not want to take revenge?
But just as he was about to take action, Lu Yan came to the door.
He also said that he and the Zhu family were "grateful" to him. If Qian Ronwei believed it, then it would be like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!
Where is Lu Yan from? From Fujian, Huainan is far different from there!
But everything has been said and the money has been laid out. Does it matter whether you believe in Qian Rongwei or not?
All Lu Yan wanted was an excuse. After taking the money, everyone would renovate the matter. Without taking the money, everyone would have to rely on their own abilities afterwards.
Either Qian Rongwei loses his official position, or Lu Yan neglects his duties and is transferred back to Kaifeng!
But he was in command of an entire Xiang army and was playing with the Imperial City Secretary!
Isn't this losing one's mind?
"Hahaha, it turns out that this is what happened. Mr. Lu was joking. It was just a slight verbal conflict between the Zhu family and I. As long as we put two tables of wine on the table afterwards, forget it! How about it!"
Looking at Lu Yan, Qian Ronwei still had his own bottom line, which was to serve a drink and apologize.
If the Zhu family still doesn’t plan to do it, it’s not because he doesn’t want to give face.
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Picking up the teacup in his hand, Lu Yan and Qian Ronwei laughed.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Ma Chengen fell into deep thought.
It was only a few short sentences, but the two of them had deep feelings for each other!
Qian Rongwei got face, Lu Yan got lizi,
Neither party even asked the Zhu family what they thought!
Because things have been done to this point, the Zhu family should be content, and if you still don't do it, then you really want to die!
After leaving the Qian Mansion, Lu Yan got on his horse and said, "Now that the matter is done, go and tell the Zhu family that you should marry your little wife as soon as possible, otherwise you will be robbed! Hahahaha!"
Riding his horse and whipping his whip, Lu Yan galloped along the deserted streets.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers responsible for the night patrol tacitly pretended not to have seen it.
Imperial City Secretary, stop one of you and try!
Come to Zhu’s house,
Ma Chengen immediately saluted Zhu Gongyuan and said: "Uncle, fortunately you have fulfilled your destiny. The matter has been dealt with. All we need to do is put two tables of wine on the table!"
After telling the cause and effect, Ma Chengen showed a relaxed look on his face.
After listening to Ma Chengen's words, Zhu Gongyuan couldn't help showing joy and said: "My good nephew really saved my life, I wish the whole family a happy life!"
"It's out of the way!"
Waving his hands and speaking, Ma Chengen laughed and immediately asked, "Where is Yan Yan now?"
"Is Yan Yan still in Xiaoyao Mountain? I have decided to let her marry you as soon as possible!"
Looking at Ma Chengen, Zhu Gongyuan laughed. Where can I find such a good son-in-law?
"Thank you uncle for helping me!"
Hearing Zhu Gongyuan's words, Ma Chengen quickly became excited, because he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
However, he didn't know that his childhood sweetheart had already moved his heart slightly and fell in love with Shanliang Zhongshan!
A few days later, the gifts and wine for the Zhu family were served.
Ma Chengen came to the tributary of Hongze Lake and saw the man lying on the grass and said: "Sir!"
"What's the matter!"
Without looking back, Lu Yan knew it was Ma Chengen's voice.
"I want to go to Xiaoyao Mountain to pick up the conversation, and I hope to take a few days off!"
After speaking respectfully, Ma Chengen explained,
"Why are you taking leave? Go to Xiaoyao Mountain! Why don't you just take me with you!"
After saying that, Lu Yan stood up directly,
He had been waiting all afternoon and didn't even see a crow's foot. It seemed that there were really no fish in Hongze Lake!
Looking at Lu Yan in astonishment, Ma Chengen blinked. This was different from what he had in mind!
"Don't worry, just pretend that I don't exist! I'll follow you to see what's going on in Xiaoyao Mountain!"
With that said, Lu Yan got on his horse and said, "Why are you still standing there? Give me directions! I don't know where Xiaoyao Mountain is going!"
"Oh oh oh! I'm coming right now!"
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Ma Chengen quickly followed.
