Danyang County is the administrative seat of Danyang County.
After Lu Yuan became the prefect of Danyang, he took over his wife, children and parents. In addition, his younger brother also brought him to teach him. Lu Yuan's son was not old, only four years old, but his younger brother Lu Yan was already sixteen years old.
Half a boy.
Lu Yuan's parents are old, and both of them are frail and sick and cannot support themselves. When Lu Yan can eat and sleep, Lu Yuan relies on Lu Yuan to support the whole family.
Lu Yuan was indeed capable. Not only did he manage Danyang County well, but he also took good care of his family. He lived in harmony with his wife, was filial to his parents, loved his younger brothers, and taught his sons.
Under Lu Yuan's tutelage, Lu Yan was both civil and military, capable and knowledgeable.
Lu Yuan died, and the Lu family suddenly lost its backbone. Originally, Lu Yuan's parents were planning to return to the Lu family in Wu County and live in their hometown. However, Lu Yan firmly opposed it, saying that the reason Lu Yuan came to power was because he killed the former head of the family, Lu Qi, and the method was too high.
tough.
As long as Lu Yuan is alive, nothing will be a problem. No one dares to do anything to them. If Lu Yuan lives another twenty or thirty years, the Lu family will become stronger in Lu Yuan's hands, and Lu Yuan will have sufficient prestige and connections, and they will not be able to go back.
no problem.
Now that Lu Yuan is dead, Lu Yuan does not have enough connections in the Lu family of Wu County. On the contrary, there are still people who are hostile to Lu Yuan. Under this premise, returning to Wu County to live in Wu County is to fall into a trap.
Under Lu Yan's objection, the family stayed in Danyang County.
After all, Lu Yuan is gone, Lu Yan is the only man in the family who can hold up the facade, and Lu Yuan's wife supports him.
The family moved out of the prefect's mansion and found an ordinary house to live in.
Even though Lu Yan lived with his parents and sister-in-law in Danyang County, they did not avoid being harassed by the Lu family. After the news of Lu Yuan's death came back to the Lu family, there were changes within the Lu family. The clan elder Lu Fen personally came to Danyang County.
, asking Lu Yan to hand over the family property controlled by Lu Yuan.
Lu Yan refused and stayed quiet for a few days.
On this day, when Lu Yan was studying at home, there was another rapid knock on the door outside the yard.
After Lu Yan heard this, he frowned again, with a somewhat cold look on his face.
Lu Yan's father, Lu Kang, came out.
He was in his early fifties and was in poor health. He was leaning on a cane and breathing a little quickly. He said: "Erlang, Lu Fen comes to harass you from time to time. You can't study with peace of mind, and I don't have the energy to argue with him. Why don't you take the property from your hometown?"
Give it to them. In a few years, when you grow up and become successful, you will be able to regain what you have lost."
"impossible!"
Lu Yan answered decisively.
Although he was young, he was very sensible and said: "Father, when my eldest brother was still alive, he often told me that Mr. Lu is a very particular person. You have shown loyalty and hard work, and he will definitely not treat you badly."
"The eldest brother first served as county magistrate and then as prefect. This time, he died in the hands of the ancestor of Shanyue people in order to govern Danyang County."
"Brother, sacrifice your life."
"So I think that Mr. Lu will not treat us badly, at least he will protect our safety. There was news before that Mr. Lu had gone to Jing County to attack Zu Lang, and I am afraid he has won. We will
Wait, wait for Mr. Lu’s arrangements.”
Lu Yan said in a deep voice: "Lu Fen is going to come and make trouble. At worst, I will make the matter bigger. Let's see how the old guys from the Lu family end up."
Lu Kang couldn't help coughing.
Lu Yan looked confident and comforted: "Father, don't worry, go back and have a good rest. My eldest brother is gone, I have everything. Before, it was my eldest brother who supported the family, now it's me. You see, I have martial arts skills, not everyone can do it."
Bullying, my eldest brother asked me to practice martial arts and study, but he just didn’t let anyone help us."
"Okay, it's up to you and be careful."
Lu Kang turned around and left.
The eldest son has his own ideas and dares to overthrow the former head of the Lu family, Lu Qi. Now, the second son also has his own ideas, and Lu Kang is very pleased.
He was just a little ashamed.
I am in poor health and have no abilities.
Lu Yan's eyes became fierce. When he walked to the gate, he opened the door and saw an old man in his late fifties, forty years away, leading a group of people to block the gate.
Lu Yan sneered and said: "Lu Fen, you are really not afraid of death. My eldest brother died for Lu Shijun, and Lu Shijun will not treat my Lu family badly. I thought, as I told you last time, you are
A smart person should understand the stakes. I didn't expect that you are still stubborn and want to stir up trouble."
Lu Fen stroked his beard and said with a proud look on his face: "Lu Yan, you are thinking too much."
Lu Yan asked: "What do you mean?"
Lu Fen said in a deep voice: "I have received the news. Lu Xuan killed Zu Lang in Jing County, conquered Shanyue, and arranged for Li Qian to serve as the governor of Danyang. Now, Lu Xuan has returned to Shu County with his army."
"Lu Xuan will not come to Danyang County. He has not interfered in the internal affairs of the Lu family."
"Lu Yuan is from the Lu family. Aren't I from the Lu family? Aren't the other people from the Lu family? What you said is just to scare people. If you want Lu Xuan to help you, just dream!"
Lu Fen had a proud look in his eyes.
He came to see Lu Yan a few days ago, but was frightened by Lu Yan's words. If Lu Xuan came north to Danyang County to support Lu Yuan and take care of Lu Yuan's family, he would not be able to bear the burden and walk around.
Now that I have received the news that Lu Xuan's army has left in triumph, naturally I am no longer afraid.
There was strong greed in Lu Fen's eyes. He looked at Lu Yan and said coldly: "Lu Yuan killed Lu Qi and got a lot of property and land. You can't control these properties and land."
"If you hand over all this, everyone will be in peace and well. Otherwise, I tell you, the Lu family will not only expel you from the Lu family, but also make you unable to survive or die, and have no other choice."
Lu Yan's face became even more solemn, and there was deep worry in his eyes. Lu Xuan's army actually returned.
how can that be possible?
impossible!
According to his thoughts, according to what his elder brother explained about Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan is not such a person.
Lu Yan thought for a while, but still did not give in, and further said: "Lu Fen, if you want to scare me, there is no way. I tell you, I will not accept any threats, and I am not afraid of you. The worst is, you beat me to death. I want to
Let's see, you killed Lu Yuan's brother, will Mr. Lu take action after the news comes out?"
"Are you really looking for death?"
Lu Fen's eyes became fierce and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Yan, I ask you again, do you want to hand over the land deed and family property controlled by Lu Yuan?"
"impossible!"
Lu Yan flatly refused.
Lu Fen's murderous intention emerged. There was no pity, sympathy, or family affection for his tribe. Instead, he showed impatience.
He flicked his sleeves and said: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be fined. Today, I will teach you a lesson and let you know the consequences of refusing. Let you know that in the Lu family, it is not Lu Xuan who has the final say, it is me, Lu Fen."
It’s up to you.”
"Hit me, just don't kill me."
Lu Fen ordered loudly.
"Who dares to take action?"
Suddenly, a loud voice came.
A handsome young man wearing a white robe, with sharp eyes and a majestic appearance came over and said loudly: "It's not me, Lu Xuan, who has the final say in the Lu family. Who can have the final say? Come on, give me a show,
How about a toast instead of a meal and a penalty drink?"
