Fifty miles outside Qingzhou City.
Lu Qingyun and his group of hundreds of people are repairing. After all, they are not expected to arrive in Qingzhou until the day after tomorrow. However, Lu Qingyun and his group are eager to return home and just want to reach Qingzhou as soon as possible.
However, Lu Qingyun's expression was quite complicated even though he was almost arriving at Qingzhou City.
"Brother Weimin, what's wrong?"
Lin Yuanchao on the side asked in a low voice when he saw Lu Qingyun's expression.
"Congratulations, the closer Qingzhou gets, the more... uneasy I feel."
Lin Yuanchao and Lu Qingyun have worked together for many years and are close friends, but he still doesn't know how Lu Qingyun is feeling at this time.
"Brother Weimin is as worried as before, and his passion finally turned into lament and helplessness."
"It's not that I can't trust Hou Zhao, it's just..." Lu Qingyun hesitated for a moment: "The poison of Qingzhou penetrates deep into the bone marrow. To remove the poison, you need to scrape the bones. If it is not handled well, the people will be affected!"
When Lin Yuanchao heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled: "In terms of enlightenment, being a brother of the people is really not as good as a prince."
"Since it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, if we don't do it, won't the people still suffer the same?"
"What's that saying of the Crown Prince... By the way, hesitation will lead to defeat! If you want to go, you have to go one way to the end! If you hit the wall... go around, the destination is there anyway, you don't care whether it is a detour or not. Jumping or climbing over the wall, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more methods than difficulties, haha, looking back now, what the prince said is really interesting!"
"Rough words but not rough reasoning!"
Lu Qingyun suddenly laughed.
"It's still... taking care of yourself!"
"Listen!" Lin Yuanchao vaguely heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and said excitedly: "The prince must be here!"
"get off!"
Lu Qingyun hurriedly opened the car curtain, and what he saw was the blue sky and white clouds.
After staying in the car for a long time, the sun was actually a bit dazzling.
Lu Qingyun subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the sun. Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, a group of figures rode towards him from the front.
In a daze, the figure gradually became clearer and stopped in front of the motorcade and the crowd.
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Lu Qingyun's ears.
"Master, I miss you so much!"
Before Lu Qingyun could recover, he was hugged by Chen Ze.
"Hou...Huzhao...I..."
Inexplicably, Lu Qingyun's voice trembled.
He didn't know why, but tears couldn't stop pouring into his eyes.
Maybe he never thought that a young man would suddenly break into his life, and then... he gave him a bear hug and told him seriously that I support your ideals and I will give him a hug. You support me.
"Master, please don't cry!" Chen Ze said hurriedly: "If you cry for me once, how many years will my life be shortened? We have no grudges, so don't just want to die in the same year and the same day! I'm only sixteen , I’m losing blood!”
Lu Qingyun really couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter: "You...you are really..."
"Okay, okay, it's been a long journey. I've already asked people to prepare a banquet. Have a meal and have a good rest. Let's talk about anything tomorrow!"
Chen Ze hurriedly raised his hands to Lin Yuanchao and the crowd behind him: "Everyone, hurry up and get in the car. It's been a hard journey. I'm leading the way. Let's go to Qingzhou City now!"
Everyone hurriedly returned the greeting, and Chen Ze quickly got on the horse and waved his hand.
"Back to the city!"
Lu Qingyun brought a lot of people this time. Excluding the spies who escorted him all the way, there were a total of 172 people including family members.
However, it was too eye-catching for so many people to enter the city at once, so Lu Qingyun entered the city in eight groups.
If Chen Ze hadn't stopped him, Lu Qingyun would have even planned to enter the city after the curfew.
After all, with Chen Ze's relationship, they could even move around after curfew to avoid being noticed.
Lu Qingyun has a relatively cautious temperament, especially after fighting with the powerful people in Qingzhou, he had to be cautious.
He knew that his identity was too sensitive, and his every move was basically under the surveillance of Qingzhou's powerful people.
This time, Lu Qingyun left in the name of visiting friends, and even the secret agents who escorted him were waiting secretly in the alleys outside the city, just to avoid being watched by the powerful and powerful.
The main reason is that he doesn't want to put more pressure on the business that has not yet started. After all, if the powerful people learn that he is going to take charge of Qingzhou's government affairs, they will definitely try their best to start making small moves, and they will definitely not allow him to implement it smoothly.
Lin Yuanchao also felt the same way, so he sailed with caution.
Chen Zena must have listened to the big guys' ideas, and even the banquets that had been prepared in the guest building were sent to the mansion in batches.
And when everyone followed Chen Ze to the mansion, they were greatly moved.
Although Lu Qingyun and Lin Yuanchao had already talked about what kind of person Chen Ze was on the road when they arrived, everyone was still skeptical.
Without knowing the whole picture, I dare not jump to conclusions easily.
When Chen Ze personally traveled fifty miles from Qingzhou City to greet them, everyone felt something was different in their hearts.
The dignified prince of Zhennan is pampered and well-dressed. How tall must he be?
He was even willing to sacrifice face and come a full fifty miles outside the city to greet them. His sincerity really made many people feel ashamed.
And this guilt became even heavier when he came to the mansion.
All the rooms in the entire mansion have been arranged and equipped with everything you need, and someone has been specially hired to clean them.
What shocked everyone the most was that Chen Ze knew the structure and layout of the mansion very well, which meant that Chen Ze arranged all of this personally.
Before this, they could not imagine that a son of a prince or aristocrat would personally arrange a place for them, a group of common people, and participate in the resettlement work.
"I won't make specific arrangements for who will live in which room. Let's discuss it. You can live in whichever room you like."
"I came with my family. If you have any special needs, don't be shy. Just ask. I will try my best to satisfy everyone."
Chen Ze was like a tour guide, leading a large group of people around the mansion.
"The layout of the other house is similar to this one, but it is larger than this house. Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. You can move in directly tonight."
No one responded, just nodded.
The expressions are basically confused.
Because most of the people here are hunters in the village, most of the people living in the countryside are thatched houses, and sometimes they even live in the mountains, and the conditions are difficult.
The local squire's house was already a mansion to them.
They never thought that one day they would be able to live in a larger and more beautiful house than the local squire.
Just like in a dream.
When Lu Qingyun saw that Chen Ze had arranged the house for everyone, he hesitated to speak.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Huzhao, didn't you say you didn't have enough funds before? How much does it cost to build such a big house a year? You even rented two houses!?"
"It was insufficient before, but now it's okay. I already have a way to make money." Chen Ze hurriedly whispered: "This house is for rent, but the other one is not!"
"Ah? What about the other place?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I still couldn't hold it back. I first raided He Qi and the Qingzhou Gang, the masters behind the Bafang Gambling House in the south of the city. I have already killed them. I told the public that it was that guy who provoked me, and it was just He is a small character, so he should not have alerted others..."
Lu Qingyun was anxious: "How can we just cut them down!? Didn't I agree to keep these people for me to hold... some kind of public trial?"
"Definitely next time."
