As soon as Lu Xihua arrived at the main courtyard, he saw his father Lu Yuan sitting in the main seat with a serious face while Lu Fei stood beside him.

When he saw Lu Fei, he was angry.

Before he could get angry, his father asked him, "Did you go to the Pilgrim Street at the foot of the Mount of Samantabhadra Temple today?"

Lu Xihua shrank for a moment, hesitating whether to tell the truth.

Bang!

Seeing this, Lu Yuan was so angry that he slapped the table, "Don't you still give me honest advice?"

Lu Fei sneered on the side, really wondering whether Lu Xihua should be stupid or stupid. It's time to be so, and he still wants to be clever.

At this time, the reinforcements brought by Lu Xihua before leaving the door came.

As soon as his second wife, Mrs. Lu stepped into the room, she said softly, "Master, please calm down. If the child has done something wrong, tell him, he will change it."

"Shut up! You are all spoiled by your child! Lawless!" Lu Yuan scolded his second wife and looked at Lu Xihua, "Why don't you tell me about the matter one by one?"

Lu Xihua had no choice but to honestly explain how he discovered that the eldest sister went out, how he followed her, how he found out that she had an affair with Xie Zhan, a married husband, and how he caught the adulterer.

Lu Yuan: "So you locked the front and back doors of Pilgrim Street?"

Such a thing is usually caused by being dubbed after being known, but now it has caused so many people in the Chen family to die, which is a death.

In fact, even if the Chen family encounters a mountain torrent, it will be a life-and-death event without Lu Xihua's accident.

But Lu Xihua is currently in a quarrel and takes the blame directly on him. It's stupid and stupid!

"Dad, it's not my fault, it's all Lu Fei. If she hadn't been unpretentious, she would have a wife in her own hands on rainy days, so I wouldn't have thought of catching an adulterer and locked those two doors."

Lu Xihua was shocked and scared. How could he know that catching a villain would cause such a big disaster?

Lu Fei is not a vegetarian. She had already had a quarrel with them and their mother before, so she fought back without hesitation, "You have caused trouble yourself, and you want to move the trouble eastward? I won't admit what I have never done!"

"You haven't done it before? Seeing you smiling at Xie Zhan on Xianghuo Street and Qianxi, I'm afraid you've had more than just a private meeting?" Lu Xihua could only throw dirty water on Lu Fei's body desperately.

Lu Yuan thought about something.

The second wife, Mrs. Lu, quickly said, "Master, you must find out this matter clearly. We cannot wrongly accuse the innocent."

Lu Yuan thought for a while and decided to say, "Come on, take the young lady down to check it out."

"Dad? Don't you believe in your daughter?" Lu Fei looked humiliated and sad.

Lu Yuan waved his hand and Lu Fei was invited down.

Not long after, the old servant who had tested his body came and said, "Go back to the master, the eldest lady, the eldest lady is still innocent."

When Lu Yuan heard this, he glared at Lu Xihua again.

Lu Xihua only has two words in his mind, it’s over.

The second wife, Mrs. Lu, couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.

At this time, someone from the gatehouse came, "Master, it's not good. The county magistrate's office sent someone to Lu's office to get people."

Lu Xihua said in surprise, "Dad, save me!"

The second wife, Mrs. Lu: "Master, save Xihua and save our son."

Bang, Lu Yuan slapped the table with one hand, "Everyone calms down!"

Not long after, Lu Xihua was taken away by the government.

Lu Yuan followed him to the government office.

Then, because this case was related to the two major families in the south, the county magistrate did not make a decision.

There were so many people in the Chen family who died, and even if Lu Xihua was accompanying them, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in the Chen family. Not to mention that Lu Yuan and Lu family heads were still protecting Lu Xihua, which made the Chen family even more angry.

Mrs. Chen convened the elders of the Chen family to hold a meeting.

"You can't just let it go!"

If the government office does not help their Chen family seek justice, then their Chen family will ask for it themselves!

The Chen family's affairs were too big, and it involved the Lu family. The other four major families in the south were closely watching the development of the two families.

As the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Changnian is the same.

When he received Ji Wuyin's invitation, he was still surprised.

Neither Ji Wuyin nor Ji Wuyin were such boring people. Ji Wuyin invited him at this time, and there might be something wrong, so Zhu Changnian decided to go to the appointment.

When Zhu Changnian met Xue Guangxian in Ji's mansion, he was very surprised, "Xue Guangxian, is it really you? It turns out that the Chen family really encountered the Shanhong army being wiped out to find you?"

Thinking of Xie Zhan using him to lead Chen Jiaye and others out, Xue Xu sneered in his heart, but explained, "I just returned to the south today and have never been to the Pilgrim Street at the foot of the Mount of Samantabhadra Temple. I came back by boat.

, the Cao Bang can make a certificate." If he had not had to win the trust of him in a while, he would not have explained.

Zhu Changnian was a little disbelief, "Isn't it really you? Chen Jiaye shouldn't be wrong."

Xue Xu did not get involved in this topic anymore, but said another, "I really admire the head of the Zhu family. It's time to go, and I still have the heart to watch the show." It's obvious that the Chen family and the Lu family will definitely fight.

Zhu Changnian wanted to get a bargain. In fact, it was not just him, the Zhu family, Gu family, and Liu and Zhang family, who were not closely following the development of the situation, and they all had the same thoughts.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Changnian frowned, feeling that there was something in his words.

Xue Xu smiled and said, "I said that your Zhu family is still unaware of the disaster."

When Zhu Changnian heard this, he was shocked and angry, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Xue Xu: "You go back and check what your good son Zhu Congwen has done, and you will know if I'm talking nonsense."

When he said this, Zhu Changnian felt shaken in his heart when he specifically said it. What did that kid do?

Ji Wuyin, who was standing beside him, also said, "Master Zhu, you really have to pay attention to the movements of Mr. Zhu."

"how?"

"He borrowed 200,000 taels of silver from me a few days ago."

"What, 200,000 taels of silver? Such a large sum of silver, you borrowed it if you say you want to borrow it? Ji Daxiu, you will be dissatisfied. At least you can have someone come and talk to me."

Ji Wuyin said, "My Ji family money house is open to do business. If you want the young master to have collateral, how can I push the business out? As for not telling you, it is the young master who asked him to give you a surprise.

How can I ignore his filial piety?"

Zhu Changnian had a bad premonition, "What did he use to mortgage it?"

Ji Wuyin didn't hide it from him, "Food!"

Zhu Changnian covered his chest and leaned against the chair. Two hundred thousand taels of grain! That was the two granaries, and one-third of the grain of his Zhu family was gone!

The food price is rising now. He knows how much the 200,000 taels of grain can eventually rise?! This prodigal son!

No, Zhu Congwen alone cannot get the right to use the two warehouses of grain. Without disturbing him, his second uncle must have helped him!

"Ji Wuyin, when will he be able to redeem those grains?" Zhu Changnian asked, as long as the deadline is not exceeded, the grains will still belong to their Zhu family.

"Master Zhu, don't be too busy with the food. Do you know why Mr. Zhu took the 200,000 taels of borrowed?" Xue Xu didn't piss his appetite and directly revealed the answer, "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, did not piss off his appetite?"

I used 200,000 taels to trade with Xie Zhan and bought the Chen family's little Zhuya Island."

Zhu Changnian said, "Where is the little Zhuya Island of the Chen family worth so much?! One hundred thousand taels are enough!"

"Of course a small Zhuya Island is not worth 200,000 taels. What if there is a gold mine on the island?" Xue Xu said lightly.

Zhu Changnian was shocked, "Gold Mine?"

Ji Wuyin was also surprised, "Gold mine!"

Zhu Changnian shook his head, "No, it's impossible, this is not true."

If my son really mined a gold mine, then...

The Zhu family is over! Ji Wuyin looked at Zhu Changnian sympathetically.

"Is this true or false? The head of the Zhu family can go back and verify it. But what I want to tell you is that time is urgent, and the imperial envoy of the court has already set out from Chang'an and may arrive in the southern territory at any time. What are your plans? You need to make a decision as soon as possible.

I'll be waiting for you in Ji's house."

"In addition, the Zhu family may be monitored. You must be careful when verifying it and not be noticed by the other party."

When Xue Xu spoke, Zhu Changnian's heart was sinking.

Finally, Zhu Changnian showed an extremely ugly smile, "Thank you, Mr. Xue, for reminding me, I'll go back first."

Now he only hopes that what Xue Guangxian said is not true, and that those two warehouses of grain will be gone if they are gone.

When Zhu Changnian got up, he staggered.

Xue Xu helped him, "You must be calm and don't let others see the clues."

Zhu Changnian nodded randomly, and when he reached the gate, he barely recovered as usual.

"Ah, Xie Zhan even planned to get in?" Ji Wuyin realized that there was a gold mine on Xiao Zhuya Island, so he realized.

"Yeah."

He sorted out the whole matter and Zhu Congwen borrowed 200,000 taels from Ji's money house. If he was not there at that time, his eldest son would lend him the 200,000 taels without mortgage.

Next, if the Zhu family is confiscated and exterminated due to gold mines.

Because they did not ask for collateral, the 200,000 taels lent to Zhu Congwen by Ji's money house was directly washed away. The money must have been either entered the emperor's pocket or Xie Zhan's pocket in the end.

The fact that their Ji family’s money house could lend 200,000 taels without collateral may also arouse the emperor’s suspicion!

Moreover, with the chaos in the south, if their Ji family didn't know that this was a game set by Xie Zhan, they would definitely not be able to help but join the battle due to the loss of 200,000 taels.

As a result, all the major forces in the South were involved.
