"Brother, why are you treating Li Jiancheng like this? Look at his younger brother." Lu Zhaoying asked with a frown on the way. Judging from his expression, I'm afraid he has been keeping this question in his mind for a long time. According to his character, he only asked it now.

, which is already quite good.

"Silang, do you think that Li Jiancheng doesn't know about Qingfeng Mountain? No, he knows. I'm telling him now that I'm helping him with advice, just for future consideration. Judging from his look, I'm afraid the Li clan has already launched an army.

Jiahu Fort is a must-go place. If we don’t marry Li Jiancheng at this time, I’m afraid our Hedong Lu family will be in ruins soon.” Lu Zhaoci sighed and said: “As for Li Yuanji, hehe, the Li family

It's not his turn to make the decision yet." Of course he knew that Lu Zhaoying thought that his performance just now was not in line with the style of a member of a noble family.

"Then what should we do now?" Lu Zhaoying asked nervously as soon as he heard that Li Clan had raised troops.

"Don't worry, I have my own concerns about matters at home. After the matter in Hedong is resolved, we will return to Jiahu Fort and meet with the Li family for a while." Lu Zhao couldn't help but look at the north, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. In that direction

It is Taiyuan, the land of Longxing that started the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years.

In the courtyard of the Lu family in Hedong, the security was tight. Dozens of personal guards brought by Lu Zhaoci from the family's private soldiers were guarding the outside of the main hall. A faint murderous aura filled the courtyard. Today is the day Lu Zhaoci arrived.

The members of the Golden Eagle Hall were summoned for the second time since the Lu Family Courtyard in Hedong to discuss important matters.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Sidao, leaning on crutches, came toward the hall surrounded by more than a dozen people. After glancing at the warriors around him, Lu Sidao's eyes showed a trace of sarcasm, and he sneered: "Shu Zi is so brave." Behind him,

Everyone also sneered and echoed.

"Hmph! The eldest master has invited all the deacons." At this time, Lu En walked out of the hall, glanced at everyone coldly, and said lightly.

"You, a slave like you, don't have the right to speak here. Get out of here." Lu Changgeng glanced at Lu En with disdain.

"Haha, to answer to the Sixth Deacon, the villain is here under the order of the Eldest Young Master. If the Sixth Deacon wants to punish the villain, please ask the Sixth Deacon to go to the Eldest Young Master and speak to him." Lu En said calmly.

"You..." Lu Changgeng's expression changed, and he pointed at Lu En and was speechless.

"Huh! He's just a slave, and he will be rampant when he succeeds. Let him be proud first, and meet his master first, and then settle accounts with him." Lu Sidao glanced at Lu En coldly, ignored Lu En, and walked towards the hall.

The rest of the Lu clan also stared at Lu En with vicious eyes. Unfortunately, Lu En was not moved at all.

"They are just a group of autumn grasshoppers, what's there to be proud of?" Lu En looked at the backs of everyone, with a hint of coldness on his face.

"Young Master, I don't know why you summoned us here this time?"

In the hall, Lu Sidao was sitting on a chair with his eyes lowered, as if he was facing Mount Tai without changing his expression. Lu Changgeng on the other side glanced at Lu Zhaoci above him and said coldly.

"Everyone is getting older, and things in the Golden Eagle Hall are complicated. Zhaoci has thought of you all. From now on, I won't bother you seniors with matters in the Golden Eagle Hall." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile on his face, as if he really wanted to do this.

People think the same thing.

"Why, the eldest son is here to seize power?" Lu Changgeng glanced at Lu Sidao who was aside, and when he saw that he was silent, he sneered.

"Uncle Geng, what you said is wrong!" Lu Zhaoci waved his hands with a smile and said: "You should still be your deacons. However, it is best not to mess with everything in the Golden Eagle Hall in the future."

"Presumptuous." Lu Changgeng jumped up as if a cat had stepped on its tail, pointed at Lu Zhaoci and sneered: "Who are you? You actually want to control the Golden Eagle Hall. Humph, do you think the patriarch asked you to go forward?"

When you come to Hedong, can you do whatever you want in the Golden Eagle Hall? Let me tell you, the patriarch only did it as a last resort and let you come out to save face. You really regard yourself as a person. It is true that like father, like father.

Son, delusion."

A cold light flashed in Lu Zhaoci's eyes. Only then did he realize why Lu Changqing, as the eldest son, had no status in Jiahu Fort. It must not have been because of his unwillingness, but because of Lu Sicheng. Maybe he was the same back then as he is now.

, he was ostracized by the people in the Golden Eagle Hall, causing him to lose all face. He returned to Jiahu Fort in embarrassment and was ridiculed by others. This made others have other thoughts.

"The saint has done nothing, so he said so. For many years, the Golden Eagle Hall has been run by the eight deacons. They have made great contributions to the Lu family's foothold in Hedong. Although the old man is also in charge of the Golden Eagle Hall, it is actually just a name. Now the old man let

You come to manage the Golden Eagle Hall, but I am just here to let you get familiar with the common things." Lu Sidao opened his slightly closed eyes, but there was another meaning in his old voice.

"Yes, it is a sin for us not to entertain the eldest son when he first came to Hedong. Haha!" Lu Changgeng's expression changed after hearing this, and he actually showed a smile and said with a smile. In an instant, the original solemn atmosphere in the hall disappeared.

, everyone's faces also showed a trace of relief, as if the overall situation had been decided.

"Great Elder, six months ago, Lu Qingyun, the shopkeeper of Dachangpu in the capital, reported to the capital that the price of food in Luoyang and other places had soared. It was suspected that someone was secretly hoarding food. Why was this matter not reported to Jiahu Fort?" Lu Zhao said without changing his expression, pointing his finger.

Knocking gently on the desks on the side.

"Big families hoard grain and grass to sell in the famine years. This happens every year. Even my Lu family does the same. What's there to repay?" Lu Sidao sneered and said: "Eldest Young Master, if there is nothing else to do, let's leave.

!I’m going to walk the birds.”

"Yes! Yes! The First Elder thought this was a trivial matter, but what he didn't know was that this incident almost caused the death of our Hedong Lu family." Lu Zhaoci sneered, "Lu En, come in!"

Just as everyone was waiting to be surprised, they heard a soft creak and saw Lu En, who was serving outside the hall, walking in with a stack of paper in his hand.

"You guys are so capable!" Lu Zhaoci sneered, took the paper over and said with a smile: "I'm not talented, it took me three days to sort out three years of account books.

It's just that there are some parts of this that I don't understand, so please explain it to your elders!" He threw the paper aside.

"What? Impossible." Rao Zheng Shanyu was very scheming, and his expression couldn't help but change at this moment.

"This must be the third uncle!" Lu Zhaoci glanced at the middle-aged scribe in front of him and knew that he was the son-in-law of the Lu family. He was also the husband of Lu Changqing's half-sister, Zheng Shanyu, who had always been on good terms with Lu Changzong.
