Chapter 323: I was timid before I even took action

As mentioned earlier, this is a world with gods and knights. Although the court also has practitioners such as Zhenyisi, army, and Chenghuang Temple, the wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families still have a layer of awe.

Because their main responsibility is to suppress evil aliens and foreign bodies, prevent foreign enemies from invading, and maintain social stability.

Therefore, although the powerful class of the Dajing Dynasty also bullies others with their power, they dare not go too far. At least they are not scrupulous in their behavior of taking human lives and other behaviors that are much less than those in the ordinary ancient world.

You should know that there are many Dajing Sects, but the majority of them are famous sects, and there are many people such as warriors and sword cultivators who are jealous of evil.

If you are seen by others for evil and take your head with one sword, do you think Dajing Chao will offend a sect for an ordinary person, especially when others are still rational?

So even wealthy families can at most crush them with connections or wealth, or use some grey methods such as idle gangsters, and basically have a bottom line.

For example, the Zhao family in front of him, even if they don’t like Lu Zheng, they never thought about taking the initiative to use shameless means.

After all, the Zhao family first entered Tonglin County, and did not want to leave the local government and wealthy families with the impression of bullying others.

After being angry in front of Lu Zheng, Zhao Wenrong was very angry and ordered Zhou Mingsheng to prepare gifts. He took a servant to Chunfeng Tower to vent his anger.

...

At noon the next day, Zhao Wenrong and Zhou Mingsheng went to visit Li Zhubu.

Explain the purpose of the trip.

Li Zhubu nodded, "I have a friendship with your father. This little busyness is harmless. It's just a shop. I'll help me talk. You can also increase the price. They are all businessmen making money. There are many friends and multiple ways, and I don't think the other party will refuse."

Zhao Wenrong said that the other party was just a small businessman with a shop, so Li Zhubu didn't take it seriously. He thought that Zhao Wenrong was holding the airs of the Zhao family in Yizhou. He was too arrogant, so the two of them were frustrated.

However, he said that local merchants would definitely give him some face. After all, he is an official in the county government, so it is better to take charge of the county officials now.

Zhao Wenrong bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Li!"

"It's easy to say!" Li Zhubu picked up the teacup and drank it lightly, and asked with a smile, "Which other party is? Let me listen."

Zhou Mingsheng hurriedly said, "The other party is called Lu Zheng, and the shop is called Tianshizhai."

"puff!"

Zhubu Li sprayed out a mouthful of tea.

"who?"

"Lu Zheng, a young man."

Seeing that Li Zhubu looked a little wrong, Zhou Mingsheng said carefully.

So Master Li hurriedly put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Wenrong and Zhou Mingsheng seriously, "What conflict did you have with him? Tell me in detail!"

Zhou Mingsheng swallowed. He had discovered that this young man was extraordinary at Lu Zheng's house before, but he didn't think deeply. At this time, he saw Li Zhubu's reaction...

Zhao Wenrong was also a little confused for a moment, "Uncle Li, what's wrong with Lu Zheng?"

"Speak quickly!"

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Mingsheng hurriedly told the situation when he and others met Lu Zheng twice, and finally said, "We have always been polite, but Lu Zheng... Mr. Lu has been showing us his face."

"You guys are so ignorant. He doesn't understand anything. Don't you understand either?" Li Zhubu said angrily.

"Is it that his family..." Zhou Mingsheng said tentatively.

"Do you have relatives to be high-ranking officials?" Zhao Wenrong asked, then turned to say, "My second uncle is also an official in Yuhe County!"

When Li Zhubu heard this, he almost threw out the teacup in his hand.

"You brought the Zhao family out. If there were officials in his family, wouldn't you say that?"

From ancient times to the present, the relationship between officials and businessmen has been difficult to explain or understand. You have me and I have you, it is nothing more than a question of who is the leader and who is the second.

They are all in the secular world. If you don’t say it backstage, you are either a fool or want to be a fool.

“That’s…”

Master Li simply said, "Mr. Lu is a lay Buddhist in Baiyun Temple."

"Baiyun Temple?" Zhou Mingsheng and Zhao Wenrong looked at each other.

The Zhao family's power does not leave Yizhou and does not have much contact with the cultivation world. They really don't know the name of Baiyun Temple.

but……

"Is it a sect of cultivation?" Zhou Mingsheng asked, "but it won't make you..."

There are not a sect of cultivation around Yizhou Prefecture, but although the merchants respect them, they are not afraid. After all, there are also some imperial courts who are invincible in the world and punish them illegally.

"Mr. Lu and the land god Taohua Fairy in the south of the city are friends." Li Zhubu said lightly.

This is what I have to do with the official. Although the land is not a civil servant system, it should not be underestimated.

Zhao Wenrong blinked and was still stubborn, "We don't deal with the land."

It is not a farmer who faces the loess and bears the sky and is suffering. The merchants and families worship the God of Wealth. If they have nothing to do, they will not worship the God of Land.

Then Li Zhubu responded, "There are also connections in Yizhou Town Yishu."

He did not forget why he ordered the construction of the Taohua Temple.

Zhao Wenrong, “…”

Zhou Mingsheng, “…”

I left Tonglin County immediately and my connections reached Yizhou Prefecture?

Zhenyishu is not concerned about ordinary things, but it still has a great influence on the yamen. With this, it is impossible for them to use despicable means to requisition the Lu.

But... the director of the Zhenyi Department is in charge of foreign objects, so he can't take care of the government administration. Why don't you even have the courage to talk about it?

Seeing that Zhao Wenrong was still a little angry and seemed to want to say something, Master Li took out the last straw, "By the way, Mr. Lu also knows the new governor of Yizhou Prefecture, Lord Du. Lord Du just came to visit Mr. Lu a few days ago."

Zhao Wenrong:???

Zhou Mingsheng:!!!

This time the two of them were really discouraged. The prefect of Yizhou Prefecture? The highest local official in a state!

"Then he..."

Zhao Wenrong's heart couldn't help but jump heavily, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly, "Then why didn't he say that?"

Master Li shook his head, "How can I know?"

After a look at Zhao Wenrong, he was the son of an old friend. Li Zhubu thought for a while and said, "Young Master Lu's identity is not a secret in the yamen. Captain Liu also helped him deal with some sluts. A few days ago, Lord Du came here in contempt, and it was the news conveyed by Captain Liu. Both the magistrate and the magistrate knew about it.

Since you can come to the county to do business, you must have already opened up the joints of the yamen. As long as you inquire carefully, you will naturally know his background, so he may feel that there is no need to say it, and you will know it naturally."

Damn, is that true?

If I don’t show off, naturally someone will help me show you?

But it almost caused a misunderstanding! We almost disappeared!

Is this really good? You may accidentally hurt innocent people!

Zhao Wenrong complained wildly, while Zhou Mingsheng kept wiping his sweat.

"so……"

Master Li made a conclusion and said to the two of them seriously, "Since Mr. Lu said he would not sell it, you don't have to think about sweet vegetarian food. Go and see other shops in Anfang. If there is a suitable one, please add some more prices and show sincerity. I can also help build a bridge."

As far as he was concerned, Zhao Wenrong naturally knew that Li Zhubu could not help them face Lu Zheng, so he had to thank him and then say goodbye.

"That, young master..." Zhou Mingsheng wanted to speak but stopped, and then just said, "I'll go and hang out that shop?"

What can I do? Just admit it!

"Hang out." Zhao Wenrong sighed helplessly, and then said, "In addition... send Zhao Si back to deal with the family law."

"Yes!" Zhou Mingsheng's eyes flashed and he bent down and he should be.

...

On the other hand, after Lu Zheng sent Liu Qingyan to Renxin Hall early in the morning, he had been waiting for Zhao Wenrong to make a move, and in the afternoon he also went around the sweet food vegetarian area.

Just wait for the other party to take action first, the classic scene of pretending to slap in the face will be staged immediately, and Lu Zheng began to rub his hands excitedly.

As a result, I waited around, and not only did not wait for the other party to come, but I waited for the Yashang shop to come, and a sign for sale was hung on the shop next to the dessert vegetarian.

Lu Zheng:?_??

What's going on?

Lu Zheng looked confused. Is he cowardly before he even took action?
