Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 390, People Are Frightened
At this time, some of the twelve major families in Qianji Tower were feeling panic.
The New Emperor wants to take back control of Qianji Tower.
This means that these twelve major families are faced with choices.
Should he turn to the new emperor, or continue to follow that prince?
"Where is that girl Zhao Yuru?"
Sitting high, the ancestor of the Zhao family asked.
"Reporting to my ancestor, that girl Yuru has been staying in the house during this time." The ancestor's grandson and now the head of the Zhao family replied, "That girl is very stubborn. For the last time, she was removed from the North Road.
The county called me back, but I have always been dissatisfied."
"If you rebel against her, this is the family's decision. Everything must be based on the interests of the family."
"Zhao Guanhai, this is your precious daughter, who makes you worry-free all day long!"
The head of the Zhao family looked at a middle-aged man standing in the lobby and scolded him coldly.
"Master, that girl...hey!"
Zhao Yuru's father, Zhao Guanhai, sighed, "I tried to persuade her several times, but she just couldn't listen."
"Needless to say, there is no point in talking about it now." The ancestor of the Zhao family said, "The wind and rain are in danger. I am just a martial artist of the first and second level of martial arts. I seem to be very strong, but in this Jingzhao Mansion, many things are not up to me.
Do whatever you want."
Among those top aristocratic families, which one does not have a first-level martial arts master?
In their eyes, second-grade warriors can still be used as they wish, just like servants or servants.
"First let that girl Zhao Yuru get in touch with Lu Jiuzhang." The ancestor of the Zhao family said, "I will use this to show my goodwill to Master Xu and the new emperor."
"Ancestor, didn't Lu Jiuzhang clash with the new emperor several times and be disgusted by the new emperor?" The contemporary head of the Zhao family was puzzled, "I heard that during today's morning court, Lu Jiuzhang still refused to kneel and actually dared to confront the new emperor in court.
Demand an explanation from the warriors at the trial site and force the new emperor to admit his mistake."
"If we have too much contact with such people, I am afraid that our Zhao family will also be disgusted by the new emperor, right?"
"Stupid!" the ancestor yelled angrily, "Since the new emperor hates Lu Jiuzhang so much, why do he still reward him with so many things and communicate with him privately?"
"I heard that the two of them chatted for more than an hour in the palace yesterday!"
"Although the new emperor is a woman, she has the courage of an emperor. She will only value a person's ability, and no matter how much Lu Jiuzhang says or does wrong, as long as he is strong, he will win the favor of the new emperor.
.”
"There are not many people she can use around her. If she doesn't rely on Lu Jiuzhang, who else can she rely on?"
"Especially the reward from Marquis Wanhu, which is a big deal, and also allows Lu Jiuzhang to form an army of 50,000 people. Why doesn't the new emperor dispatch it from elsewhere? Instead of letting Lu Jiuzhang form it himself?"
"Because we formed it ourselves, we have more cohesion. If this powerful force is not controlled, it may pose a threat in this precarious world."
"If we directly capture the territory of a county and become the king, we will no longer be under the control of the new emperor."
"The new emperor is so reassured about Lu Jiuzhang, how can he hate him?"
The ancestor’s eyes were sharp and he saw the inside story that many people couldn’t see.
"On the other hand, I also want to go to the palace and meet the prince!" said the ancestor of the Zhao family. "At this time, we really shouldn't be in two boats and touch both sides."
"But none of us can afford to offend!"
"It is rumored that the person standing behind the prince is a strong man from the royal family's group of elders. He is a first-level martial artist."
"So, in the final analysis, this is the new emperor competing for power with the royal elders."
"Therefore, we have to be cautious and take every step carefully. Otherwise, the Zhao family's huge foundation may collapse in an instant!"
This statement is not an exaggeration.
Whether it is the royal group of elders or the new emperor, these third-rate families cannot afford to offend them.
The ancestral home of the Zhao family.
In a courtyard, the head of the Zhao family led a group of people into Zhao Yuru's courtyard.
"Yuru, don't be angry with your father."
The head of the Zhao family spoke into the house, "The family has discussed that you can contact Lu Jiuzhang. He is in Jingzhao Mansion today!"
"What?"
Zhao Yuru's surprised voice came from inside the house.
Lu Jiuzhang actually came to Jingzhao Mansion?
Zhao Yuru walked out of the room, feeling a little shaken.
She has not been out of her boudoir for several months, and she doesn't know much about the outside world.
After walking out of the boudoir, Zhao Yuru saw all the elders in the family coming.
"When did Lu Shoucheng arrive at Jingzhao Mansion?"
Zhao Yuru asked.
"I arrived yesterday. I went to the palace this morning to meet the new emperor. He has completed his official duties in Jingzhao Mansion and may take a stroll in Jingzhao Mansion next."
"It's a good time. Go find him and show him the beautiful scenery of Jingzhao Mansion."
The head of the Zhao family has already thought of a countermeasure, "I will transfer another three hundred thousand taels of gold from the family treasury for your daily expenses. Don't think about saving money, just be comfortable and comfortable."
"If you run out of money, come to me again and ask for it!"
The head of the Zhao family is also willing to spend a lot of money.
Three hundred thousand taels of gold is equivalent to three hundred million taels of silver.
For the Zhao family, this is also a huge sum of money.
Today is different from the past, and regardless of showing favor to the new emperor, Lu Jiuzhang has already become a fourth-level martial artist with great potential.
Investing now is the most cost-effective time.
If he really waits until he reaches the second level of martial arts or even the first level of martial arts, no matter how much money he spends at that time, it will be meaningless!
Especially, I heard that the other party’s Confucianism and Taoism are not low!
Such talents should be recruited as early as possible.
Unfortunately, a few days ago, he was blinded by lard.
I don’t know if it’s too late to make amends now.
"Really?"
When Zhao Yuru started, she still didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever told a lie?" The head of the Zhao family smiled, "If you can complete this task, I will take charge of the Qianji Tower in a county for your father."
"You should know what this means?"
Qianji Tower is controlled by twelve families.
The Zhao family is at a disadvantage, only controlling the Qianji Tower in three counties.
If his father becomes the person in charge of one of the county's Qianji Building, it means that Zhao Yuru's branch instantly becomes a member of the main line, and he has a great say in the main line.
The whole Zhao family has a large population, with more than a thousand people living in it.
The resources obtained by the children of the branch line are definitely not as good as those of the main line. Zhao Yuru was bullied by many children of the main line since she was a child.
Today, the head of the family decided like this.
This made Zhao Yuru couldn't help but think that Lu Jiuzhang had become so powerful now that he hadn't seen him for almost half a year.
"I want a copy of Lu Jiuzhang's latest information." Zhao Yuru said in a deep voice.
Let’s first understand what Lu Jiuzhang did in the past six months, “especially the information after he left Beilu County.”
"No problem, I'll send someone to deliver it later."
The head of the Zhao family agreed immediately.
Lu Jiuzhang's reputation has grown greatly now. It is not difficult to obtain information about him, and Qianjilou has a business of selling information and collecting information. This chapter has been completed!
