"Look! Look! I just finished bribing Commander Chang, and now I'm bribing Waiter Lin again!" Seeing that Lin Lang still wanted to refuse, Cheng Yaojin shouted directly on the side.
Cheng Yaojin's voice immediately attracted many people to look here, including of course many officials from aristocratic families. When these officials from aristocratic families heard the word "bribery" from Cheng Yaojin, their eyes almost popped out of their heads. , just want to see clearly who Cheng Yaojin is.
However, when they saw that it was Lu Chen, the heads of these family officials all turned back. The group of people had one thing in mind, that is, Cheng Yaojin was now obviously from the "Shengshi Group" established by Lu Chen. One of them, he shouted that Lu Chen was bribing officials. Who knows if this was a way for this "bastard" to join forces with Lu Chen, a "scammer", to deceive them.
Therefore, when the officials of this group of noble families saw that it was Lu Chen who was Cheng Yaojin, they all turned their heads back. They chatted and said what they should. No one looked at Lu Chen. As for Lu Chen, no one looked at him. From Chen's perspective, apart from those who are familiar with Lu Chen, those who don't know Lu Chen's "cheating" attribute and want to take advantage of it are confused.
Cheng Yaojin, who was originally a little proud of those people's attention, was stunned for a moment when he saw all the officials turning their heads away, as if they didn't hear or see the scene. .
"Someone cares but no one cares! This is bribery in public, don't you care? Where is the official? Where is the censor?" Cheng Yaojin continued to shout loudly. At this moment, Cheng Yaojin saw it at a glance Wen Yanbo, the Censor Zhongcheng in the distance, shouted directly to Wen Yanbo: "Wen Yanbo, you are the Censor Zhongcheng, don't you care?"
Hearing that he was called by Cheng Yaojin, Wen Yanbo could only stand up and walk over, cupping his hands in front of several people.
"I have met you gentlemen!" Wen Yanbo said with a smile on his face.
"Wen Zhongcheng, our old Cheng helped you achieve political achievements, but this guy bribed the eunuchs in full public view!" Cheng Yaojin directly grabbed Wen Yanbo's arm with a smirk on his face and pointed at Lu Chendao.
"Mr. Su Guo laughed! Today is the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. The official thought that this red envelope should be a gift from Duke Lu to the Lin servant. How can we talk about bribery?" Wen Yanbo obviously did not fall for Cheng Yaojin's trap. , said with a smile.
Although Wen Yanbo had a smile on his face, he was cursing secretly in his heart: "Cheng Yaojin, you old man, you are obviously trying to trick me! If I really get involved with this Mr. Lu, I know this guy will How dare you lead someone to tear down the door of my house!"
Lu Chen can now be said to have a "bad reputation". The facade of the Zheng family, one of the five surnames and the Seven Hopes, and the door of Zheng Shanguo's house, the Minister of Rites of the dynasty, this guy just demolished it. If he demolished it, it would be no big deal. Can a censor Zhongcheng outplay him? I guess this guy set his own house on fire, and Li Yuan doesn't know anything!
Moreover, Wen Yanbo knew that after the Lu County official in front of him demolished the Zheng family's gate, the Zheng family still found someone to repair it with their own money. However, when Li Yuan reported it, the report was Lu Chen had already repaired the front door of his house, but he was kicked in the head by a donkey. How could he mess with such a man?
The emperor has authorized him to sit cross-legged in the Taiji Hall. How dare I dare to compete with such a master? What’s more, this master’s eloquence is also very provocative. I may not be able to compete with others these days.
"Look, Brother Cheng, Wen Zhongcheng's words are so nice, so you are not good at criticizing me!" Lu Chen said directly with a smile, and patted Lin Lang's hand, indicating that Lin Lang could accept the red envelope with peace of mind. .
Lin Lang naturally saw all this in his eyes. His eyes when he looked at Lu Chen were full of envy and admiration. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had a good relationship with Lu Chen. Why didn't Lu Chen give red envelopes to others? Own? Lin Lang was filled with secret joy at this time. Does this mean that he is on Lu Chen's side? Lin Lang thought to himself.
"Wen Zhongcheng, who understands justice well, has cleared up the unfair grievances for me. I would like to thank Wen Zhongcheng!" Lu Chen said, saluting Wen Yanbo directly.
"Mr. Lu, please don't do this! Today is a happy day, so it's normal to give some wedding money!" Wen Yanbo hurriedly returned the courtesy and smiled.
"Boring!" Cheng Yaojin curled his lips and said when he saw that his purpose of pranking Lu Chen was not achieved.
"Wen Zhongcheng, from now on you can get a 20% discount when you go to Shengshi Group's stores in the East and West markets with this card! This is the VIP card of Shengshi Group!" Lu Chen took out a card directly from his sleeve. The two words "Prosperity" are printed on it. These two words are naturally the two words given by Li Yuan. There is also a jade seal next to it. The card is surrounded by a circle of gilt gold wire inlay, which shines brightly in the sun. .
"How can this be done! How can this be done!" Wen Yanbo waved his hands repeatedly, wanting to refuse the card Lu Chen gave him, but he still looked at the card.
"It's just a card, and it's not money. If you don't buy the item, it's just a piece of waste paper!" Lu Chen forced the card into Wen Yanbo's hand and Zheng
"In this case, I am ashamed to accept this! Thank you County Lord Lu for your kindness!" Wen Yanbo stuffed the card into his sleeve and rushed to Lu Chen to salute and thank him.
"Yuan Zhengri! It's a happy occasion! As long as Wen Zhongcheng doesn't mind being shabby!" Lu Chen said angrily to Wen Yanbo.
These people are blocking the gate of Taiji Hall and chatting here. They are not the only officials here. They are here. For the officials behind, you can go directly past them and enter. These few officials except the Duke He was the county magistrate, and there was the censor Zhongcheng next to him. It was a bit rude, so don't go in. There were many officials waiting behind him, and then it became these people laughing here, and a lot of officials outside were freezing.
"Um, brother Lu Xian, it seems a little inappropriate for us to chat here!" Zhang Shigui reminded Lu Chen and others when he saw the officials who were so cold outside that they started stomping on the spot.
"Oops! This is my father's fault!" After Zhang Shigui's reminder, Lu Chen also noticed the officials behind him. Lu Chen bowed his hands directly to these officials and hurriedly walked into the Tai Chi Hall with everyone.
"Brother Lu Xian, you have to untie the sword first!" Qin Qiong reminded Lu Chen directly when she saw Lu Chen rushing directly to his position to get over.
"Ah? Jie Jian? What do you mean?" After all, Lu Chen Zheng'er only went to court once, and Lu Chen didn't wear a sword that time. He came to court several times in succession, but was summoned by someone sent by Li Yuan. Now Lu Chen Chen's outfit was quite formal, so he also had a sword hanging on his waist. However, this was the first time Lu Chen heard this "unlocking the sword".
"Come with Brother Yu!" Qin Qiong took Lu Chen to a stand in the middle of the west side of the hall. When he got closer, Lu Chen discovered that the stand was filled with all kinds of swords.
"This is the sword-unlocking mat!" Qin Qiong introduced to Lu Chen, "In the future, if my dear brother comes to court, after entering the court, he must first place his sword here before he can take his place in the court class. Do you understand? Qin Qiong took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the sword-fighting mat.
"Aren't you afraid of getting confused?" Lu Chen looked at the various swords on the sword-fighting table and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Don't you still recognize your own weapons? Besides, each sword has its own mark!" Qin Qiong smiled and picked up his sword, pointing directly at the hilt, which was engraved with A word "Qin".
Lu Chenyou observed some other swords. Some had the last name engraved on them, and some had the owner's name engraved on them. In short, all swords had their own marks.
Lu Chen directly took off the sword from his waist and put it on the sword understanding seat. Lu Chen's sword is very easy to recognize. Other swords have golden scabbards or scabbards of other colors, but only Lu Chen's sword has a black shark skin scabbard, which is simply "unique" on this sword-solving mat.
After putting the sword away, Lu Chen followed Qin Qiong, and the two of them went to their positions one after the other. Their positions were at the front on the left hand side of the door, belonging to the front of the general side, and behind them were the third-rank Opposite them were the military commanders of the rank and below, who were the vanguard of the civil servants. What caught the eye was an old man, wearing a Confucian shirt instead of a court uniform, sitting at the head of the civil servants.
"Who is that old man?" Lu Chen turned around and asked Qin Qiong in a low voice.
"Which one?" Qin Qiong was stunned when Lu Chen said this, but looking in the direction of Lu Chen's eyes, Qin Qiong knew who Lu Chen was.
"That's Xu Shenghou, Kong Shengrao's 32nd generation grandson, Kong Yingda!" Qin Qiong introduced to Lu Chen.
"Oh? So this is Kong Yingda!" Lu Chen nodded.
"What? My dear brother also wants to get acquainted with this great Confucian?" In Qin Qiong's impression, Lu Chen does not seem to like to make friends with literati, but this descendant of Kong Shengrao is naturally different among these literati. If Lu Chen wanted to make friends, there was nothing wrong with him.
"How is it possible! Could it be that Second Brother Qin has forgotten? Yudi is a descendant of the Mohist family. He would not like it if he overthrows all other schools and only respects Confucianism!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Brother, be careful what you say!" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Qin Qiong quickly stopped Lu Chen and looked around vigilantly. Although the exclusive respect for Confucianism at this time has not reached the level of later generations, those aristocratic families are all He calls himself a "disciple of the saint". If those people hear what Lu Chen says, they will inevitably cause trouble for Lu Chen.
"Yes! I am being reckless!" Lu Chen said with a smile. Although Lu Chen said this, his face was full of indifference.
