Chapter 561 Fanning the flames (1)
As the year ends, New Year's Eve approaches, the people in the entire city of Bianjing are cheering for the New Year, but not everyone will be happy about it. For example, everything has not gone well recently, and many colleagues in the army have excluded and neglected him. He is the one who is the most unhappy.
If the official position of Yu Hou was placed in a certain army outside the capital, it might have some status and authority. In fact, it would be considered a number one person in the city of Zhoufu, but it would not be considered a big deal in the city of Bianjing, which was a powerful man for many days. Moreover, because he was a military officer, he was not favored by officials in the court, so it would be extremely difficult to get promoted.
It was precisely because Lu Qian knew that his future was extremely difficult that he betrayed his long-time friend Lin Chong a few years ago, almost letting his wife betrayed by the flower Tai Sui Gao Yanei. What he did was naturally to please the son of the Gao Taiwei family and thus climb to the high branch.
But what happened? This matter not only failed, but it failed to get benefits in front of Gao Yanei, but also turned against Lin Chong. If Lu Qian hadn't seen the opportunity that day, he would have died at Lin Chong's hands long ago. What made him even more disappointed was that Lin Chong left after this incident, but Gao Yanei did not attract him as his subordinate. At the same time, after the previous incident was spread, his behavior of such a villain was even more hated by his colleagues, and he was excluded and neglected by everyone, and became a real lonely man and a lonely ghost in the army.
Lu Qian didn't even know how he survived the past few years. Anyway, he was about the same age as Lin Chong, now he looked similar to a fifty-year-old man, with gray hair and no energy. At this time, he sat with his brother Lu Zhen, and looked no different from his uncles, nephews, or even father and son.
Compared to his brother's embarrassing situation in the army, Lu Zhen was much more comfortable in the capital. Not only did he have a good official position, but he also climbed up to the high branch of Taiwei Gao. He was one of the several aides he trusted. However, he was very disgusted with his brother's previous actions, so he had never said anything for him, and had not even had contact with Lu Qian for almost half a year. Lu Zhen, who was drunk this evening, suddenly visited him, which really made Lu Qian feel flattered.
Because Lu Zhen came with a drink, Lu Qian naturally would not be holding a banquet and hospitality, so he only asked someone to prepare some warm drinks for entertainment. The two brothers were drinking in the small study in the backyard while chatting for a while. Finally, Lu Qian couldn't hold back and looked at his brother and asked, "Brother, why are you here today, please tell me."
Lu Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this, and shook his head gently, "You are still so uneasy. It seems that the experiences in recent years have not allowed you to learn from your lessons? In fact, do you know that before that incident, I had already found an opportunity for you to let the team train, but because of such a scandal, the matter was left unresolved!"
Seeing his younger brother showing shame, Lu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I won't mention the matter at that time. This time I came to you because there is something that may help you and allow you to be used by Taiwei Gao again, but this matter also hides a lot of hidden dangers. Once there is any mistake, you will die, so you have to think about it before making a decision."
Lu Qian smiled miserably: "Brother, do you think I am so much better than death now? If I have a little chance, I will not avoid it. Brother, please tell me what the opportunity is!"
Lu Zhen looked at his younger brother carefully again and could see that his condition was indeed very poor. He sighed secretly and said, "Jingdong Road Chief Superintendent Sun Tu actually submitted a memorial to impeach Tai Shi Cai. Do you know who he is?"
When Lu Qian heard the name Sun Tu, the light of hatred suddenly burst out in his eyes: "It's him, even if I die, I won't remember this person!" As he spoke, he looked ferocious and gritted his teeth, looking at him wishing he could bite Sun Tu to death.
In fact, over the years, he had already learned the whole story of everything. Knowing that Lin Chong was able to escape was that Sun Tu used great force in the middle. Now these two people have become famous in Qingzhou and live a free and easy life, but they have suffered and humiliated in Bianjing City.
What is a villain? Lu Qian is a real villain. In his life creed, he is the only one who is betrayed others, and no one is betrayed him. Logically speaking, Lin Chong, who was obviously the first to be harmed, did not pursue the other party, and he should be grateful, but now he blames all his sins on Lin Chong and Sun Tu. Even the reason why he gritted his teeth and endured the experiences over the past few years was because of his hatred and hostility towards Lin Chong and Sun Tu.
Lu Qian had long regarded Sun Tu and Lin Chong as his life and death enemy. It was because he had a humble status and had no power, so he could only curse in his heart every day, and there was no way to deal with them. But now, when his brother mentioned Sun Tu's behavior of death, he immediately became very excited: "Brother, are you serious? Then Sun Tu really dares to impeach Grand Master Cai?"
Looking at his brother's excited appearance, Lu Zhen didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong. After learning from Liu Yong that this happened, he felt that this was the time when Gao Qiu did something. But behind Sun Tu was Tong Guan. Once he became bigger, it would be a storm. This was not something that a small person like him could participate.
So after some thought, Lu Zhen thought of his younger brother Lu Qian, who is now depressed and unsuccessful, and may agree to be a person who is provoking trouble. But he still never thought that Lu Qian would appear so excited after hearing this, and his whole body was completely different.
After calming down the gods, he said seriously again: "The matter is of course true, but you can't be careless. The ones involved in this matter are all high-ranking officials in the court, and even Sun Tu is not something you and I can handle. Therefore, if there is any omission, the informant will die without a place to bury him."
"Hahaha..." Lu Qian responded to him with a burst of laughter: "I'm like this, what's the difference between death? I didn't have a chance before, but now the great opportunity is in front of me. What other concerns do I have? Sun Tu... You ruined my good things before, and I will make you suffer all the hardships this time!"
After pausing, he looked at his brother with expectation: "Brother, tell me, what should I do?" After all, he is just a martial artist, and he still has to look at his brother in his mind.
Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then he explained his thoughts, and finally said seriously: "You tell Taiwei Gao this matter will be taken seriously by him. Maybe you will also ask Taishi Cai to see Taishi, and in front of Taishi, don't show any whims, don't bring me out. As long as this time the matter is done, you may be used by Taishi again, and of course, you may also be involved in the struggles in the court, and you will die without a place to bury yourself." After all, he is a brother, so he still explained the pros and cons to the other party clearly.
Lu Qian didn't care about the shortcomings behind him at all, but just gritted his teeth and said, "I know, brother, don't worry, I will think of seeing Taiwei Gao tomorrow. If this time I don't succeed, I will be successful!"
That being said, it was not easy to see Gao Qiu in Lu Qian's current status. Although he ran to the gate of the Taiwei Mansion early the next morning to wait, under the escort of a group of imperial guards, he could not even get close to the square where the carriages were parked in front of the gate. In the end, he could only watch Gao Qiu take a car into and out of the mansion in disappointment, but he didn't even have the chance to come forward and shout.
After a few days of gaining nothing, Lu Qian finally changed his method on the fifth day of the first lunar month and landed his target on Gao Yanei. Compared to Gao Qiu, this Huahua Tai Sui had fewer followers, and he had some friendship with the other party.
At noon that day, on the street not far from the Taiwei Mansion, Lu Qian saw the opportunity and stopped Gao Yanei who was planning to go somewhere to have fun, and shouted: "Yane, the villain Lu Qian has something to report to you."
Seeing someone suddenly jumping out to block the way, he was startled by the entourage companions around Gao Yanei. Three or four people even stepped forward and pressed him to the ground, fearing that it would be unfavorable to Yanei. However, Gao Duo, who had taken a step back, looked at Lu Qian who was kneeling on the ground with a squinted eyes and thoughtfully: "Who are you? Do I know you?"
This made Lu Qian feel so angry that he was so angry that he had to be so popular today because he wanted to curry favor with this person. Who would have thought that the other party turned against him and now he doesn't even remember who he is. But in front of Gao Yanei, he couldn't show anger, so he could only say quietly: "Yanei, the villain was also the one who listened to you at the beginning..."
Gao Duo was still hesitating, but fortunately, his confidant Fu An had already remembered Lu Qian, so he leaned into his ear and explained a few words. Gao Yanei suddenly realized: "You are the waste who failed to help me get Lady Lin..." Obviously, compared to men, he had a much deeper memory of women, especially women who failed to succeed.
"It's... it's a villain."
"Why are you so old? Even your hair and beard turned white." Gao Duo exclaimed twice, and then he let him get up and said casually: "Tell me, why did you suddenly come to find my yamen today?"
Lu Qian felt sad, but at this moment he still smiled and said, "The villain came today for a big event, a big event related to Taiwei Gao, so I want to ask you to recommend it to you."
"What big thing can you do if you are a down-and-out person?" Gao Duo looked dissatisfied and yawned again: "If I don't say it more carefully, I won't have time to accompany you." He is a standard playboy, and he has no interest in the affairs of the court and the officialdom at all, and just wants to have fun.
