Even if Zhao Yan is a modern person who has traveled through time, he still knows the ancient rules.
As a commoner, even if you have tens of thousands of fortunes, if you want to shake the imperial officials, it is like a fly shaking a tree. It is just wishful thinking.
If you don't do it well, your family will be ruined and your life will be at risk.
"Master Guo, don't you know Lu Chaoyong?"
Qinglong looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Zhao Yan's question.
"Huh? Baihu, tell me."
Zhao Yan saw that Qinglong seemed to have an unspeakable secret, and did not want to embarrass him, so he said to Bai Hu on the side.
'Cough cough cough.'
Bai Hu seemed to have tuberculosis. He didn't care about Zhao Yan at all and only focused on coughing.
"Xuanwu?"
Zhao Yan frowned, what do these people mean? I won’t borrow money from them today.
"My aunt, I have a toothache. Ouch, I can't speak."
Damn, what's wrong?
"My aunt, I have sent you a famous post."
A little eunuch was sweating profusely as he ran. He must have gone through several layers of the deep palace and it took a lot of trouble.
Some people would also give him Zhao Yan's name card. Zhao Yan understood that this name card was equivalent to a business card for future generations.
If you send me a message, it means that someone wants to see you.
It's just that due to the fact that most people in the palace don't have this status, the young eunuch must have received a lot of benefits.
Zhao Yan blinked and suddenly took a piece of silver from the young eunuch's arms.
"Master Guo, that's our errand money."
When the young eunuch saw that the favor fee had been cheated by the country's aunt, he felt unwilling to do so.
"If you don't know the rules, you little bastard can just send you a name card privately. If you are punished according to the law, your head will not be saved, so get out of here."
Being so frightened by Zhao Yan, the young eunuch did not dare to ask for money for running errands, so he lowered his head and ran away.
"Shameless."
Suzaku hated him so much that he was not only a scumbag, but also a bitch, and he didn't even let go of his servants' hard-earned money.
"Shameless is shameless. Who doesn't like money pricking their hands?"
Zhao Yan smiled cheekily.
Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu were even more ashen-faced.
This guy even cares about this kind of money. The money they loaned out will definitely be gone forever.
"Look who is asking to see me, Gu, Yuan Wai?"
Zhao Yan's eyes almost popped out.
I read it carefully over and over again and found that the signature on the name post was indeed Lu Chaoyong's.
"Is this new?"
Bai Hu shrugged his shoulders as if there was nothing wrong with him. This was normal.
"Do you know Mr. Lu?"
Zhao Yan looked at the guards in confusion.
"Don't you know me?"
The brothers asked in unison.
Nowadays, rumors are spreading both inside and outside the palace that Zhao Yan took advantage of being favored by the empress and became arrogant by colluding with the powerful Lu Chaoyong to bully the common people. He even dared to bully officials and was so domineering that people and gods were outraged.
"Okay, let's go out of the palace and meet this member Lu."
Zhao Yan was confused, he really didn't know this person.
But in fact, before he traveled through time, the original owner had already colluded with Lu Chaoyong to form a small force.
Under the banner of the Zhao family, he has done all sorts of bad things, to the point of losing all conscience.
Forcing good people into prostitution, oppressing good people, taking advantage of others, all the adjectives used to describe their relationship are not exaggerated.
Although the Zhao family was forced by the empress, Lu Chaoyong had been honest for a while, but as Zhao Yan entered the palace and gained the favor of the empress, Lu Chaoyong began to behave like a monster again, and now it has even reached the point where the honest man Zuo Qianqiu sold off his real estate.
It had been a while since he had seen his master Zhao Yan, and Lu Chaoyong felt uneasy, so he risked his life to beg to see his master.
Zhao Yan left the palace, followed the address provided on the name sticker, and turned into an alley.
As soon as one steps into it, a refreshing aroma of wine fills the air.
And here is the most famous Star-Zhain Tower in the Imperial Master.
At that time, this building could be described as towering into the clouds.
There are a total of seven floors in the design, and the decoration and the dishes served to entertain distinguished guests on each higher floor are more noble.
Even distinguished guests from prominent families can only prove their identity on the fifth floor. No distinguished guests have been welcomed on the sixth floor and above, let alone the highest seven floors.
"Master Guo."
Before Zhao Yan entered the Star Building, there was already a man in silk brocade and an elegant fur hat. He looked to be in his forties, with a goatee hanging on his chin and a bright smile on his face.
The middle-aged man has been waiting for a long time.
"This is Yuanwai Lu."
Qinglong saw Zhao Yan's obvious startle, as if he really didn't know the old acquaintance, so he simply fulfilled his duty and reminded Zhao Yan in his ear.
"Lu Chaoyong?"
Zhao Yan was surprised. He did not expect that this person was a cunning man who was so bold that he dared to put the dignified fifth-rank minister of the Ministry of War into a difficult situation.
"Hey, the young master is now the ancestral grave with green smoke, and he has become the concubine of the current dynasty. I still remember that, it really moved me, woo woo woo..."
I have to say that this Lu Chaoyong is also a showman, and he actually wielded a sword in front of Guan Gong.
"Why are you still wronged?"
It gave Zhao Yan the feeling that Lu Chaoyong was looking for him to find a backer this time.
"It's inconvenient to talk here. Please come in, please."
Lu Chaoyong quickly invited Zhao Yan to take a step upstairs to talk.
"So high."
Zhao Yan climbed to the sixth floor one after another, and he complained a little because he didn't know why. He could have just opened a private room on a lower floor.
"My aunt, I haven't had time to report to you yet. This star-catching building is already a property in your name."
Lu Chaoyong smiled flatteringly.
Well?
Zhao Yan almost fell down when he heard this.
It's not because it happened suddenly, but because he had already thought about it carefully when he passed each floor.
It can be said that the place is overcrowded and the daily turnover is a huge amount of money.
Since it is the property in his name, isn't it the time to make a fortune?
This is obviously due to the money.
"Yuanwai Lu is very loyal to my aunt."
"Mr. Lu has a good heart."
Damn it, why did Qinglong and others' painting style change so suddenly, never commenting, but then suddenly they praise Lu Chaoyong so much?
When Zhao Yan saw the bulging bulges in several people's arms, everything became clear.
It must be said that Lu Chaoyong knew how to handle things, and Zhao Yan bribed his followers without knowing it.
During the conversation, several people went straight to the top floor, and Zhao Yan was given the first place. Lu Chaoyong, who was interested, just stood sideways beside Zhao Yan.
Just like a slave and a young boy just waiting to serve his master.
"Lu Chaoyong, why don't you sit down?"
Zhao Yan frowned, since they are all one of his own, don't be polite.
There's no point in pretending anymore.
"Master, I don't dare."
Lu Chaoyong actually became frightened, fearing to make Zhao Yan unhappy, so he acted like a pug.
"He really doesn't dare, and neither do I."
Qinglong said.
This is the top floor of the Star-Zhaing Building, and dignitaries can only enjoy themselves on the fifth floor, not to mention the white-bodied Lu Chaoyong.
"So there are still distinguished guests?"
Zhao Yan frowned, as his feelings were not specially invited to him.
