Chapter 98 Old and not dead
After Lin Feng recited the lyrics, he saw that it was getting late and immediately said that he had to prepare for the acquired imperial guards competition and the opening of the supermarket, and insisted on taking a leave first.
Unlike Li Jingqian, who was ignorant of the world, Li Yu knew the extreme attention of his father and the second emperor's uncle to the imperial guards' competition, so he immediately stood on Lin Feng's side and asked to go back quickly.
Li Jingqian had no choice but to order the carriage to go back. However, Li Jingqian, who was unwilling to accept it, kept muttering on the carriage until he heard Lin Feng and Li Yu discuss the opening content of the supermarket, and he suddenly woke up.
Li Jingqian grabbed Lin Feng and asked in a daze: "What is the opening content?"
Lin Feng also happened to want to borrow the social activities of the royal master and immediately pretended to be mysterious: "A supermarket opening ceremony that includes top music, dance, poetry, auctions and catwalks, novel and fun, and everything!"
Then, no matter how Li Jingqian threatened and tempted Li Feng, Lin Feng did not reveal the specific content of the word. Instead, Li Yu, who had been watching the jokes, finally reminded his third uncle: "Uncle, just look at Mr. Lin's poems, you can imagine the wonderfulness of this grand ceremony!"
Li Jingqian had to sit down in disappointment and said ruthlessly: "I will mobilize all my friends to participate at that time. If it is not good, we will definitely call you a bad luck!"
Lin Feng laughed: "At that time, the King of Chu is welcome to criticize and correct me."
When the carriage passed by a Jinling branch in Jueweifang, Li Jingqian immediately ordered the car to stop and pulled the two of them to have supper here.
Lin Feng knew that there was no good banquet, and it was difficult to leave as soon as he entered the banquet. He immediately bowed and said goodbye. Regardless of the two of them, he started to walk towards his home.
Lin Feng quickly turned around a few neighbors, and suddenly, a clamor came into Lin Feng's ears: "You are immortal, you are willing to accept the loss of gambling! You lost money in gambling and hit people, and you are not reasonable?"
"I'm unreasonable? My ancestor was Lu Zhao, who was born in a scholarly family. How could I be unreasonable? It was clearly because of your collusion to make me lose money!" A somewhat old but funny voice shouted loudly.
Lu Zhao? Could it be Lu Zhao, the first top scholar in Jiangxi history? His descendants were all the famous Lu Jiang? Lin Feng's heart moved, stopped, looked at the crowd, and found that an old man with gray hair was surrounded by a few idle men, pushing and shoving each other.
"The person with the surname Lu must be the descendant of Lu Zhao? My surname is Liu, and my ancestor is still Emperor Gaozu of Han! Don't talk nonsense, old thief who is old and immortal, hand over the money you robbed, otherwise we will be polite!" A evil man with an open shirt grabbed the old man's mind and acted like to beat him.
"Stop!" Lin Feng shouted suddenly, walked forward, pushed the crowd away, walked to the elderly, stared at the bad guy's hand, and asked sternly: "Why are you making noise?"
Lin Feng was shouted out of the drunken dream by Li Jingqian and the others, and he was still wearing the Zhaowu Captain's uniform that he wore in the morning. When the evil man saw an officer coming over, he felt a little weak and his hands slowly shrank back.
"Report to this military master, this old thief is gambling with us. He lost money but refused to admit it. He snatched all the money and beat my brother." The evil man pointed to a young man next to him with a swollen corner of his mouth and still bleeding.
Lin Feng looked at the young man's injuries, then looked at the old man's thin hands, but his veins burst out. He knew that this old man must have practiced and had the strength. I am afraid that because of this, these evil men only dared to yell, but did not rain, and did not dare to take action.
Lin Feng looked at the table behind several people, with three bowls and six erotic people. It was almost the same trick of cheating money in later generations. But at this time, Lin Feng didn't want to talk nonsense to these people and shouted directly: "You are gambling in the street, and you should have arrested all the officials, but this officer has important matters, so I will give you a way out. Both sides must not be entangled anymore, so let's break up!"
The evil man looked at the old man. This old man had just taken ruthless action and was not a good person to mess with. He looked at Lin Feng's bright military uniform and his posture of being ready to take action at any time. He felt that he was better off going down the road. So he hesitated for a moment and said, "That young man will give this military officer a face, let's go!"
Lin Feng watched the people walk away, turned around and said to the old man, "What do you call the old man?"
The old man seemed very dissatisfied with Lin Feng letting those people go, and hummed and said, "Fortunately you stopped him early, otherwise the old man would have to beat these boys up. My name is Lu Jiang."
Lin Feng immediately asked in surprise: "I just mentioned Lu Zhao, but I mean the first top scholar in Jiangxi, Lu Zhao?" Lu Zhao is also a famous person in history. During the Tang Dynasty, he served as the governor in Shezhou, Xuanzhou, Chizhou and Jizhou. Lu Zhao is quite famous wherever he goes. Moreover, although he was a favorite student of Li Deyu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, did not intervene in the "Niu Li Party Controversy" at that time after entering the officialdom, so he has a good reputation.
A hint of shame flashed across the old man's face, but he quickly returned to normal: "That was the great-grandfather. The great-grandfather was the top scholar at the age of 25 in the third year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty (843 AD).
That's right. The person in front of me was the famous stubborn donkey in the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty - Lu Jiang. According to records, after Li Yu led his ministers to surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty in Jinling City, Lu Jiang was left with a single Lu Jiang who stood up to Shezhou without surrendering. Song Taizu was afraid of his sincerity inside and feared his power outside. He lured him to Luoyang. Lu Jiang stood up but did not kneel down. Song Taizu scolded: "Your master has surrendered, what else do you have to accept?" Lu Jiang replied loudly: "I only know that my master is Li, who knows what your surname is Zhao?" As a result, it can be imagined that this stubborn old man was pushed out by Song Taizu and chopped down.
Lin Feng looked at Lu Jiang's worn clothes and quickly reviewed Lu Jiang's information in his mind. He remembered that Lu Jiang had worked as a minor official in the north, and because of a case, he fled to Jinling. Fortunately, he met the Privy Councilor Chen Qiao and began to change his opportunities and finally became a high position in the Jiedushi, but Chen Qiao has not yet taken office.
According to historical records, Lu Jiang has been familiar with military books since he was a child, especially water warfare. He once guarded the Qinhuai River Stone. He fought against the Zhou army in the south and won many battles. It is precisely because he was loyal to the country and good at fighting that historians have a high evaluation: "Lu Jiang has never been able to end, but his talent is straightforward, stubborn and unyielding, and there are probably some people who can be taken." This means that although Lu Jiang has no long-term character and has never insisted on doing a few decent things in his life, he is still very talented, and it is very desirable to face a strong enemy.
Lin Feng made up his mind and immediately bowed to Lu Jiang and said, "Mr. Lu, I am in Lin Feng, I am so kind to the forest. Can you ask my father-in-law to return to the house and tell me?"
"Lin Feng? Could it be the official Lin Feng who is circulating in the market to advocate change and has a brilliant poetry and is very popular?" Lu Jiang was shocked and looked at Lin Feng's military uniform, unable to believe it.
Lin Feng smiled. It seemed that Lu Jiang did not know that he was also the position of Wusan official as the Zhaowu Captain. He once again gave a deep tribute and said, "Mr. Lu, it's not Lin Feng. If it's fake, Mr. Lin can go back to his house and see it when he sees it."
Lu Jiang muttered, "Then go and have a look." He followed Lin Feng and walked northward.
Lin Feng felt very satisfied. Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, he met a talented man. He deliberately approached him and soon learned about some of his situation from Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang was born in 891 AD and is 59 years old this year. His courtesy name is Jinqing and is from Yichun, Jiangxi Province. Because he does not like to study hard, he failed the Jinshi several times. He worked as a fortune-telling official in Jizhou for a period of time. He stole the treasury money because he was found out. Of course, in Lu Jiang's mouth, he failed the exam because the examiner was greedy for money and bribed, and he went into exile in Jinling because he was harmed by a traitor of his colleagues.
After hearing what Lu Jiang said, Lin Feng's impression began to become clear. Lu Jiang was also an interesting person in history. He loved military strategists since he was a child, liked to play games and "read and make the general purpose", which means he only wanted to understand a general meaning and was unwilling to study hard. No wonder he "had failed to be a Jinshi repeatedly". His family members "had no avail" and sent him to another place to study. He once studied in Bailu Cave, Lushan, but because he did not want to study, he "was expelled because he was a slaughtering dealer."
To this day, there is a saying that in the Fenyi area of Jiangxi Province: A furnace (Lu) was destroyed overnight and a bell was created. This sentence means that after Lu Jiang was killed by Song Taizu, he wanted to kill his three clans, but his three sons escaped successfully and survived. He stayed in Jianhu anonymously and changed his surname to his grandmother's surname, namely Zhong.
After talking all the way, Lu Jiang also eased her guard and began to believe that she had accidentally hit her fortune. She met the most popular celebrity in the court today. The two quickly became familiar with each other.
When he arrived at the door of the mansion, Lin Feng found Yaya looking around at the door. Seeing Lin Feng, Yaya immediately jumped over, raised a small note in her hand, and told Lin Feng that he had just left, a guard from the Zheng Wang Mansion came to the mansion. He left the note and left hurriedly.
Lin Feng ordered Yaya to take Lu Jiang to take a shower, and then placed it in the guest room. When he walked to the no one, he opened the note and found that there were only two words: "It has been painted." It was Zhao Chengyu's handwriting.
Lin Feng kneaded the notes into a ball, stuffed them into his arms, and headed straight to the main hall. As early as after entering the door, he had heard a faint sound of music coming from the main hall.
