Lu Shen never thought that an ordinary funeral would put the Lu family into a dilemma.

Lu Chengxing is the eldest son of Lu Shen's second son. Since he was a child of Cheng Huan, Lu Shen loves this grandson very much. Although he also knows that Lu Chengxing is idle all day long and does not do his job, but Lu Chengxing is only twenty years old after all, so he always treats him as a grandson. I feel like Lu Chengxing will suddenly get better one day.

Lu Chengxing died in the Yiren Pavilion, which really made Lu Shen heartbroken. The white-haired man gave the black-haired man his beloved grandson. Lu Shen's sadness was beyond words, so Lu Shen had the Yiren Pavilion smashed up and tied up the prostitute Qing Qing. , preparing to bury his grandson.

But who would have thought that the second daughter-in-law Cui was even faster. When Qingqing was kidnapped at home, before he could deal with it, he was made into a "human pig" by Cui, the daughter-in-law who mourned the death of her son.

Cui is the daughter of Cui Dana, the third wife of the Boling Cui family. Her grandfather Cui Siam was the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Her father Cui Dana, her mother was Princess Le'an, the eldest daughter of Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and her uncle was Lan Gao Changgong, the king of the mausoleum. When the Sui Dynasty was established, Cui Dana followed Yuchi Jiong in rebellion and was killed.

The most prominent of the Boling Cui family is the sixth family member passed down from Cui Yi's eight sons, and Huang Mingyuan's mother is the second family member. In terms of seniority, he and Lu Chengxing are cousins ​​of the same generation.

Mrs. Cui has always been vicious and jealous, and even her husband doesn't like her. He keeps her at home even when he goes out. Mrs. Cui gave birth to Lu Chengxing. She lost her son in middle age. Under grief, she can do anything. Out.

After Ms. Cui killed Qingqing, her close confidants advised Ms. Cui: "Young Master has gone over there, he is all alone, and I don't know if any of the charming people will hook up with him and harm him again. This Qingqing is the one that Mr. Young Man likes." Yes, if you put him next to your husband, you can also get rid of those charming people with ulterior motives."

Mrs. Cui was not sober, and when someone encouraged her, she decided to place a human pig made of green green in front of her son's grave as a sacrifice.

(Mom, you have made people like this, how can I like it.)

Mrs. Cui is so determined that no one can persuade her.

Lu Shen didn't agree at first. The Lu family is a wealthy family. If you do such a thing, what will others think? Do you need reputation?

But many people in the Lu family think this is a good thing. In the past two years, as Huang Mingyuan has been in charge of Youzhou, he has a tendency to overpower the local snakes. Chen Yuan changed the subordinates inside and outside Zhuo County, including people from the Lu family It was no exception. The Zhuojun government only recognized Huang Mingyuan, so it was quite difficult for the Lu family to do anything they wanted to do.

Many people believe that this is a good opportunity to shock people inside and outside Zhuo County, and let others know that not everyone in the Lu family can be bullied casually.

Lu Shen thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to the matter. As a result, the Lu family had a phenomenon of dragging a "human pig" around the streets during funerals in broad daylight.

Unfortunately, Lu Shen was wrong. His enemy was not others, but Huang Mingyuan. His approach could not intimidate the opponent, but would anger everyone.

So on the street, the common man became angry and blood spattered five steps away. The Lu family's atrocities aroused public anger, and finally attracted the people of Jixian County to attack in groups.

Hearing that there was blood in front of his house, Lu Shen finally couldn't sit still. He had also seen the refugee riots when he was young, and he was very aware of the power of these mobs, so he hurriedly asked people to protect him and his family and escape over the wall. Just as Lu Shen said

As expected, the angry people rushed into Lu's house, beating, smashing, looting and burning. In the end, nothing was left in Lu Shen's house.

Lu Shen has experienced a lot, and such troubles cannot make him confused, so he asked the housekeeper to report the case to the county government, and he would make this mob pay the price.

But soon the officials came, but things were not at all what he imagined.

Zhuojun County Government imprisoned Lu Shen's daughter-in-law Cui on the charge of intentional homicide. The Lu family could not stop her and watched Cui being taken away.

The Lu family has been in Youzhou for hundreds of years. When did it suffer such humiliation?

Lu Shen wrote letters to relatives and friends in the DPRK and China asking for help, and at the same time went to the Zhuo County Prefecture to put pressure on Chen Yuan. Unfortunately, Chen Yuan was busy with government affairs and did not see him at all.

Lu Shen had lived for most of his life and had never been turned away by the local officials of Zhuo County. At this time, he was full of humiliation, ashamed and angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Aristocratic families control local areas to intimidate the people and control public opinion; they occupy land to control taxes; they control culture to control official recruitment; and finally, they cooperate with local officials to operate for decades or centuries and become a wealthy family.

But now all the methods they can use are useless in front of Huang Mingyuan.

In the end, Lu Chengqing, a grandson of Lu Shen, believed that the Zhuojun County Government was under the control of Xingtai, and Huang Mingyuan had the final say in the handling of the entire incident. Instead of entangled with the Zhuojun County Government, it was better to find Huang Mingyuan directly and seek help.

way of solving the problem.

In Lu Chengqing's view, what happened today may not be out of touch with Huang Mingyuan. All of this should still be related to Youzhou's tax reform.

Lu Shen was a little doubtful that it was really related to Huang Mingyuan, that poor man.

People from aristocratic families naturally have a prejudice against children from poor families. Especially people like Lu Shen, who are older and well-informed, because they have seen too many stunning and short-lived children from poor families, so they always think that those children from poor families are nothing

So. What he doesn't know is that it's not that those people are incompetent, but that they have spent their entire lives unable to stand on a platform that matches their abilities.

Many people are remembered in history, not necessarily because of their abilities, but just because they gave birth to a good child.

However, Lu Shen still decided to meet Huang Mingyuan. After all, Huang Mingyuan had the right to make a final decision on this matter.

Lu Shen visited Huang Mingyuan's Xingtai mansion for the first time. He had been there several times before when he was the general manager of Youzhou, and this was the first time during Huang Mingyuan's time. Looking carefully, the mansion seemed much simpler.

Lu Shen shook his head. It was fine to be simple, but it seemed petty.

After all, Lu Shen is an old man, and Huang Mingyuan personally waited in the main hall with more than a dozen civil servants from Youzhou, giving him ample courtesy.

The guests and hosts sat down, and Lu Shen explained to Huang Mingyuan the incident in which the Lu family was attacked by mobs. In Lu Shen's view, the bad behavior of these mobs was tantamount to riots and rebellion, and they must be severely punished.

Huang Mingyuan listened quietly to Lu Shen's words, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. He thought that Lu Shen had to give something in exchange, but who could have expected that he would ignore Huang Mingyuan at all. Maybe afterward, he would

Give Huang Mingyuan something, but not now, because that means they are asking Huang Mingyuan for help.

How ridiculous!

Huang Mingyuan watched Lu Shen talking to himself, acting decently, but he didn't say a word.

Finally, Lu Shen also noticed that Huang Mingyuan looked different, so he asked, "What does Duke Wei think?"
