However, after Li You threw Lu Shangzhi into prison, he couldn't help but sigh that it always takes time for new things to spread... Ordinary people know about the county government offices and they know how to complain to the censor of the city. They probably don't know about the five city admiral offices yet.
.
Lu Shangzhi came from a wealthy family and was already much better informed about government matters than ordinary people, but when he entered his place, he was still confused and didn't understand where he was...
As he said again, there is a long way to go, so Li You encouraged himself and left the office to go home.
In this small town of Yongfang, where land is at a premium, Li's house occupies a relatively small area, and the five-bedroom wife and concubines are very crowded to live in. Fortunately, the previous owner built an attic in the back yard in order to save space, and two aunts and wives can be accommodated there at the same time.
.The Cheng family lives upstairs, and the Ma family lives downstairs.
At this moment, the night is getting dark.
The two thoughts (please vote!) are deep. The curtains in the inner room downstairs are low, blocking the cold late autumn wind outside, so the inside of the house is as warm as spring.
Li You leaned on the squat, staring ahead, frowning slightly, apparently deep in thought.
Concubine Ma Shi knelt down on the thick blanket under the folded edge, facing the couch, and kept kneading the master's legs to relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation.
While Master Li was deep in thought, he subconsciously put one hand into Aunt Ma's neckline and rubbed her back aimlessly, feeling the delicate and smooth skin like satin. In fact, Master Li's hand was a bit cold, which made Aunt Ma uncomfortable.
…
The curtain moved slightly, and a beautiful head peeked out from the outside. It was Aunt Cheng from upstairs, and she called softly: "Master?"
Li You raised his eyes and responded: "Come in and tell me something!"
Mrs. Cheng Saiyu then entered the room. She said with great grievance: "Master, the slave family really didn't know anything about what happened today. It wasn't until I heard what my brother told me that I realized that the shameless guy named Lu actually came to the master and made crazy remarks.
What he said. If I believe him, the slave family will really die unjustly."
Li You asked doubtfully: "Has he seen you?"
"The slave family went to the sister-in-law's place. Later, the man named Lu also came to celebrate the sister-in-law's birthday. The sister-in-law grabbed the slave family and said that they are all very close relatives. Chapter 501
She had two thoughts (please give her a monthly ticket!), and there was no need to pay attention to the many vulgar etiquette. So she asked the slave to accompany her and introduced her. However, the man named Lu went out again for some reason, and later I heard that he came to the master.
go Ape."
Why does it sound like Mrs. Cheng Lu encouraged her cousin to pursue Mrs. Cheng? Li You felt vaguely grasping something.
There is a key question here. Lu Shangzhi seems to be an ignorant fool, but does uncle Cheng’s wife, Cheng Lu, know his identity as Li You?
Li You then asked again: "Has Mrs. Cheng Lu discussed my identity in front of you today?"
"Sister-in-law didn't mention the master at all. It's so boring." Aunt Cheng was very depressed about this.
Today, Miss Cheng went back to her parents' home, and her husband happened to go with her, so she planned to show off Li You to satisfy her little vanity. Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law didn't say a word about her husband, and asked Miss Cheng to show off.
heart.But nowhere to speak...
This was a bit cover-up. Li You had a sharp mind and immediately judged the situation. If an ordinary woman who hadn't seen each other for a long time had a chance to meet and talk about home affairs, it would be difficult not to mention her husband and family? So today's hostess Cheng Lushi avoided
Not talking about it would be unusual.
His relationship with the Cheng family was really quiet at first. Only the eldest princess, Wang Qinian, Qin Sile, and Mr. Lu knew something about it. In the end, the affairs of the Cheng family only changed hands between him and the eldest princess. Mrs. Cheng
It was also given to him directly by the eldest princess, so not many people knew the situation.
Coupled with Mr. Cheng's virtue of deliberately keeping this matter low-key, it is naturally becoming more and more unknown. Women are not taken seriously these days, and their sense of existence is very low. Many people may not even know that Mr. Cheng has a daughter.
But Cheng Lu has already married into the Lu family, so she should be different from outsiders. But it has been deduced here that it is not important whether Cheng Lu knows or not. What is important is that she acts as if she does not know, and that Lu who does not know whether to live or die is not important.
Shang Zhi was truly unaware, and for Li You, that was enough.
After making a preliminary judgment, Li You asked again: "I heard from your brother that your sister-in-law Cheng Lu and Lu Shangzhi seem to be cousins. The previous generation were just uncles and brothers?"
"Yes, I heard that the shameless guy surnamed Lu belongs to the Lu family, and the sister-in-law of the Nu family is from the second family of the Lu family, so they are indeed cousins."
Li You said a few words of comfort and sent away Mrs. Cheng, who was sleeping restlessly because she was worried about falling out of favor. Then he secretly wondered whether what happened today was a bloody internal strife in the mansion?
From a conspiracy theory point of view, in order to compete for the family property, the people in the second house instigated the people in the first house to offend powerful officials in order to achieve the purpose of killing people with a borrowed knife. This seems to make sense logically. Moreover, the level of conspiracy is also high.
He gained Li Yousancheng's skill...
Inspired by the bank account in his previous life, he felt that the opportunity was rare. Mr. Li, who was determined to create a bank account a hundred years in advance as a family legacy, once again fell into deep thought. If it was really an internal strife among the Lu family's children, could they make some profit from it? Then the Lu family
There is a large account bureau, which may be the predecessor of the ticket number.
Aunt Ma suddenly shook Li You gently, interrupting his thinking. Facing Mr. Li's hesitant gaze, Aunt Ma said anxiously: "My menstrual period has not come this month. I don't know if it is..."
"That's good." Li You said happily. Currently, there are too few sons, and the family business cannot be fully divided, and he is in a period of increasing success. It would be a happy thing if Ma is really pregnant.
But while Mr. Li was overjoyed, he also thought of his empty big house with no children, and now Mrs. Liu was even more stressed.
But he said that at the same time, at Peng Ge's old mansion outside Xi'an Gate, Peng Chunshi, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, was dressed in plain clothes and went to the study to meet guests. In fact, he was very unhappy. At his age, he had always paid great attention to health, so he had no time to eat at night.
Go to bed early when things happen.
The man in front of Mr. Peng Ge was about sixty years old, with a very ordinary appearance. Although he was richly dressed, he had a humble attitude. This man was Lu Zhaojie, the contemporary head of the Lu family of Western merchants, who was well-known in the capital, and Lu Shangzhi was his fifth son.
a son.
When Mr. Peng Ge was still in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Lu family had helped a lot. Over the past decades, they had helped each other and they had a close relationship. Therefore, Mr. Lu, a mere commoner, was qualified to rush to the Peng Mansion overnight to pay a visit.
This is of course for the fifth son Lu Shangzhi.
After listening to Mr. Lu's story, Mr. Peng asked, "Are you sure it's Li You?"
"It's unmistakable. The Cheng family personally admitted that the person who kidnapped my son was none other than Li You, the famous Li talent Li Tanhua. I never expected that there is such a person hiding behind the Cheng family."
Mr. Peng Ge said expressionlessly: "Your son, it's not good to provoke anyone, but you choose to provoke Li You? Now that Li You has been appointed as the admiral of the five cities, he has been established by the Holy Family and has the power to administer punishments, so he must exert his strength. At that moment, your son bumped headlong into him. With Li You's nature, anyone who is captured will be tortured severely."
Officer Lu exclaimed: "My son has not committed any crime, so Li You can just detain him, but there is no reason to torture him!"
This is really a layman's statement. Mr. Peng Ge shouted impatiently: "Who said it was unreasonable? Do you understand his reasoning? When a new official takes office, even you don't know the purpose of his official position. Who among the ignorant people knows the Yamen of the Five Cities Admiral? What is it for? He doesn't need to set up a banner? When a new government office is opened, what kind of cases can be decided and what punishments can be imposed? He doesn't need to set up rules?
Your Lu family is not unknown, you are quite famous in the capital. If you take the initiative to knock on the door, who will you deal with if you don’t deal with it? If you deal with you, the news will naturally spread among the people in the market. "
Mr. Peng Ge probably felt that what he said was a bit excessive, so he softened his tone a bit and continued, "Of course, indiscriminate punishment and killing innocent people is absolutely not allowed. The whole court is not blind, and there are not many officials who have been dismissed and reprimanded for cruelty. Already? I’m here, so you Lu family don’t have to worry.”
Member Lu clasped his fists and said, "What should I do? Please tell me what to do."
Peng Gelao slowly thought about it. He felt that this might be an opportunity and needed to be considered carefully.
Li You is indeed a difficult person to deal with. At present, according to various official means, Li You can be said to be almost invincible, at least at this time.
He has meritorious deeds, a holy family, golden books and iron certificates, helping hands and backers. Even if he fails in the political struggle in the court, the consequences will be nothing more than losing these. But he himself is still the censor of Dashu, and he is still Li Tanhua of Jiangzuo. , maybe because of the tragedy of failure, his fame is even greater.
The fact that Mr. Peng Ge passed through the Lu family suddenly triggered some kind of inspiration. Li You, who seemed to be arrogant, also had shortcomings!
Among the civil servants of the country, most of the time, the most important thing is the diploma. Only with the corresponding diplomas and qualifications can you advance to the next level. The role of character is often the icing on the cake. But Li You is a different kind, with all kinds of prestige. This is the foundation of his career. Otherwise, based on Li You's conditions, sitting in his current position, he would have been overwhelmed by the swarm of impeachment memorials.
Everyone needs fame, but no one relies on fame as much as Li You. Ninety-nine percent of officials in the world have no reputation, but if Li You loses his reputation, it will be a disaster. Therefore, fame is not only the foundation of Li You, but also his foundation. shackles and weaknesses!
Every time he suppresses Li You in court, the pressure becomes greater each time and the backlash becomes greater. In fact, the medicine is simply not right for the patient, and the best way is to remove the firepower from under the cauldron!
For a villain like Li You, he always feels like throwing a weapon at the enemy and not being able to use his strength. So now let a smaller person compete with Li You in the ring, fighting fire with fire, and see if Li You can use his strength!
You, Li You, have someone to back you up, so I often can't do anything. But what can you do about the Lu family who has me backing you up? Mr. Peng Ge secretly thought.
It becomes very interesting when more and more people discover that a righteous, outspoken, romantic and talented man is actually a cruel, greedy and vulgar scumbag...
Thinking of this, Mr. Peng Ge smiled and told Lu Zhaojie: "Don't panic, just find an opportunity to beat the Dengwen drum outside the palace!"
For Mr. Peng Ge, attacking Li You at this time may not have any political benefits other than saving face.
But now he is regarded as an old man who occupies the position of second assistant and waits for his official career. The succession plan has also been scrapped. What else can he want to do if he has no desires and desires? It is a good word! rq
