"Boss, boss, what are you doing? The old man of the Lu family is talking to you."

The Jin Yiwei who followed Zhang San to the lobby looked embarrassed.

After entering the Lu Family Courtyard previously, we waited in the lobby. Except for Zhang San and a brother from a hundred households who went in, the rest were under guard outside the door.

Not long after, the old man of the Lu family, Lu Hongzhi, came over with his granddaughter Lu Shuang.

There was nothing special at first, but when Zhang San saw Lu Shuang for the first time, his whole body froze.

No matter how Lu Hongzhi bowed and saluted, there was no reaction at all, he just stared at Lu Shuang.

After the embarrassment of the hundreds of households who followed him, they couldn't help but think in their hearts: The boss had always been unfaithful to women, and they thought he had contracted the boss's bad habits. But this time, it seemed that he had not met the right person.

This is not bad. When the leader reaches this age, it is time for him to get married. Let the past things disappear into thin air.

Thinking of this, Baihu looked at Lu Hongzhi and Lu Shuang and became a little friendly.

In fact, these brothers have heard more or less about Zhang San, but they rarely talk about it. After all, no one is sad about the past.

Most of those who follow their boss cannot survive.

Those who can survive, more or less, have been involved in eating human flesh.

It’s just that there are relatively few people like Zhang San who have eaten their own family members.

Lu Shuang lowered his head with a blushing face, not daring to face the hot gaze of the Jin Yiwei.

Although she often follows her grandfather, she always disguises herself as a man. Occasionally, she pretends not to notice some disgusting and cryptic looks.

It was the first time that I stared directly at my daughter like this while she was dressing up.

Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!!!!

Lu Hongzhi's throat was almost broken from coughing. He was pretending to cough, but suddenly he didn't notice and turned into a real cough.

Lu Shuang quickly helped his grandfather calm down.

"It looks like, it really looks like, it looks so similar."

Zhang San's lips moved slightly, and only he could hear the muttering.

The first time he saw Lu Shuang, he was completely shocked.

He once had a family.

That was his sister, only one or two years apart in age.

The disaster in his childhood, the way his sister looked at him after she left.

He can never forget it in his life.

After so many years, my sister's appearance has gradually become blurred in my mind, but her eyes, those watery eyes, have become clearer and clearer.

Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, it is even more unforgettable.

The Lu Shuang in front of him, whether it was his eyes or the look of his eyes, was so similar to his sister.

However, Zhang San also knows that this is definitely not his sister. There is still a big difference in the overall appearance. The only similarity is the eyes.

As Zhang San came back to his senses, the awkward atmosphere in the lobby gradually dissipated.

Everyone seemed to act as if nothing had happened just now.

Lu Hongzhi's eyes were moving between his granddaughter and the thousands of households in front of him, which was thought-provoking.

Lu Shuang lowered his head slightly, a trace of sadness flashed deep in his eyes.

But when he raised his head, he was still smiling.

"My lord, I don't know what kind of errands I have to come to the old Lu family. If there is anything that needs the help of the Lu family, please ask me directly. Everyone in the Lu family will do their best to help you get it done."

Lu Hongzhi stood up again, bowed to Zhang Sanzuo and said.

Zhang San came to his senses, and when he saw this, he clasped his fists and returned the salute, and then said: "I came here this time with orders to investigate the affairs of the senior elders of the Beggar Clan."

"There is news from an informant that Mr. Lu has been quite diligent in going to the shops in recent times. Especially yesterday afternoon, it was the time when the Jin Yiwei and I, together with the Public Security Department, were following the order of His Highness Taisun to arrest the Beggar Gang in the capital."

"I dare to ask the old lady if he had been to the shop yesterday."

At noon, it is between one and three o'clock in the afternoon.

During this period, the Department of Public Security began to arrest people on a large scale.

Lu Hongzhi replied calmly: "Yesterday, I did go to the shop and took my granddaughter with me."

"But what does this have to do with the Department of Public Security and the Jinyi Guards arresting the Beggar Gang? Although our Lu family is not rich, we can still be considered a scholarly family. Our heritage can be traced back to the late Han Dynasty, and we have several distinguished ancestors."

"Up to now, although we, the descendants and grandchildren, have not lived up to expectations, there have been a few people who have been promoted to Jinshi, and there are also a lot of talented people."

"You haven't gotten to the point where you want to mix with that beggar and make people laugh for nothing. If you continue like this, how can you have the face to meet your ancestors?"

Lu Hongzhi spoke grandly and in a high tone.

It seems that it is a huge humiliation for the Lu family to be related to the Beggar Clan.

The current Jiangnan Eight Families have a long-standing heritage in the true sense.

In the Lu family's genealogy, the most famous one is Lu Xun of the Three Kingdoms.

Yiling defeated Liu Bei and Shiting defeated Cao Xiu. It can be said that the descendants of the Lu family must understand the glory of their ancestors.

Of course, it has been more than a thousand years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After experiencing the bloodbath of the Qianyuan Dynasty, there is no way to say whether he is a direct descendant of the first wife.

Anyway, the surname is Lu, and they are still in the same place. After all, they are related to each other. If the family is prosperous, it must have a glorious record.

When compiling a genealogy, it doesn't matter much whether they are true ancestors.

After listening to this, Zhang San was not impressed by Lu Hongzhi. He looked deeply at Lu Hongzhi and said: "The beggar gang has a large number of people, many eyes and ears, and there are many participants who benefit from it."

"Even the Imperial Guards and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division still have their filial piety."

"Mr. Lu's words are enough to fool others, so there is no need to say them in front of me. They will only make people laugh."

"The destruction of the Beggar Clan was not due to other reasons, but because of the hidden harvesting and harvesting, which is not tolerated by the world."

"In the past, there were always people who harbored harm, sheltered them secretly, and shared a portion of their wealth. They would be killed without stopping, and they would not be killed cleanly."

"This time, His Majesty Taisun issued an order to eliminate them completely. Even the Beggar Clan will not be left behind."

"The old man understands."

Zhang San said slowly, without any hesitation about the inside story.

With his status, he can naturally speak, and Zhang San also knows that these families have deep roots and many doorways, so it is better to just put them on the table to avoid being twisted around and turned around by them.

These words made the old man's face turn pale instantly.

He didn't expect this Jin Yiwei to be so straightforward, but at the same time he was shocked, he looked at his granddaughter and had an idea.

I thought to myself: It seems that my affair was not exposed, but was just observed by someone who was interested.

I have never seen this Jin Yiwei act so politely before. He always arrests him first.

This Qianhu must have seen Shuang'er somewhere, and then received the news, and came here specially.

This beggar gang thing is just words.

After thinking about it in his mind, Lu Hongzhi relaxed a little.

"Sir, I promise in the name of my ancestors that I have never done such dirty things as harvesting or harvesting raw materials with that gang of beggars, and I have never received even a penny of money from them."

"The Capital Beggar Gang is the largest among all gangs, and has the fastest sources of information through some secret channels or certain transactions."

"Not only the old Lu family, but also various business gangs, your lord's yamen, and the Five Cities Military and Horse Department all have dealings with them. The buying and selling of information has always been an important source of income for the Beggar Clan."

"I used to go to the shop to buy some rouge and gouache for my beloved twins, and I did buy some information, but that's all."

"Your Excellency also knows that families like Lao Chan cherish their reputation the most. They moved from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, and even more so. Therefore, there is no way to talk about colluding with the Beggar Clan, and there is no need."

Lu Hongzhi's words indeed came from the bottom of his heart.

Speaking of the Lu family alone, they have nothing to do with the Beggar Clan. They are just him, acting in secret.

He, Lu Hongzhi, transformed into an elder named Chen and was listed among the top leaders of the Beggar Clan. He had two main ideas.

One is that there is another way in the dark.

There is another piece of information that is free of charge.

The power in the Beggar Clan is probably just a name for fear of being exposed.

After all, whenever there is a major event, there will be a meeting within the gang.

There is no cost in going to the Intelligence Office to get some information in the name of an elder.

In comparison, Lu Hongzhi's words were indeed correct.

After Zhang San listened, he thought about it and nodded lightly.

From all aspects, it is true that the Lu family is most likely not involved in business such as harvesting and harvesting.

After saying a few words casually, Zhang San stood up and prepared to leave.

"Shuang'er, give Zhang Qianhu a gift."
