Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 81

There was silence.

In recent years, Sun Kunqian had very little contact with merchants, and even Lu Xu'an's contact with him on the surface was mediocre.

In Lu Xu'an's eyes, Sun Kunqian is just a hypocrite, he lets himself make fake accounts to rake in money for him, and at the same time raises the monthly tax for corruption, he has done all the disgusting things, but on the surface he looks like a gentleman, a benevolent and virtuous man look like.

Today, Sun Kunqian hosted a banquet suddenly, and mentioned that he was the magistrate. Even though Lu Xuan, who is used to talking nonsense, didn't know what to say at this time. In order to hide his unnatural expression, he could only drink with him.

Sun Kunqian suddenly said indifferently: "I heard that there was an unexpected change in the Sun family at the engagement banquet last night, and the account books of the Lu family were stolen. Sister-in-law, who do you think will do this?"

Lu Xu'an was shocked, apparently he didn't expect him to mention this in front of everyone, he recovered after a while, put down his glass and said, "How did my brother know, I haven't seen you for the past two days, Thinking that you might be busy, I plan to let you know in a few days."

How many people who do business abroad can be clean, and Lu Xu'an made two account books because of Sun Kunqian's will. The account book was stolen, which is equivalent to being pinpointed by someone.

He originally wanted to solve this matter before Sun Kunqian knew about it, but he never expected that Sun Kunqian's ears were so good.

Sun Kunqian said: "I shouldn't have known about this, but when I returned to the city this morning, I found out that you sent people to surround the four city gates of Zuyue last night. This kind of prestige is stronger than that of me who knows the state." It's admirable."

The atmosphere was tense for an instant, and everyone looked at each other without saying a word.

Gu Wanfan coughed twice, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "The account books are of great importance. Brother Lu was also in a hurry last night. I hope Master Sun will forgive me."

The atmosphere is deadlocked.

Lu Xu'an didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry brother-in-law, I have sealed the city gate after the account book was stolen, and the person who stole the account book will definitely not be able to escape."

Sun Kunqian's face was gloomy.

Shen Zhan drank the wine in the glass calmly, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him and was not affected in the slightest.

But at this moment, Yue Yang had raised his eighteen points of energy, and made up his mind that if something happened tonight, he would kill the blood by himself.

Sun Kunqian poured a glass of wine with a sullen face, did not drink it for a long time, and said slowly: "I got a painting yesterday, and I want to show it to everyone."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the boy next to him.

The servant came to the front with a long scroll in his hands, lifted the scroll up to the height of his forehead, then let go, and the scroll unfolded suddenly—the man on the long scroll was wearing a black battle robe with gluttonous animal patterns, and on his head was a With a red gold crown, nine heads and a long spear, just looking at the portrait makes people feel frightened.

Shen Zhan frowned.Isn't it him?

The candlelight shone on the picture scroll, and everyone in the audience stretched their heads to look at it. They couldn't see anything except that the general in the picture was majestic.

Nanguan has always been peaceful and peaceful. Apart from hearing about it, the big figures in the court have never seen it in person. Among the famous generals who have heard of it, there is only one person who matches the age and momentum of the person in the portrait. — Ning Beihou, Shen Zhan.

Gu Wanfan looked and looked with wide eyes, and then glanced at Murong Zhou, who was seated above him, and forced a smile with anxiety: "The general on this portrait looks quite similar to Mr. Murong, but I don't know Mr. Sun Where did this portrait come from, and which famous artist did it come from?"

Hearing this, everyone held their breath and looked towards Murong Zhou.

At this time, any smart person would know that the status of the two Murong brothers, the first and the second, is unusual.

People with ghosts in their hearts, such as Lu Xu'an and Gu Wanwan, their faces were pale and bloodless, and their minds were full of things about ordering Legie in Xueyueqin Garden and the thin horse sent to Murong's mansion, and they only said in their hearts "It's over."

And the faces of those who have no ghosts in their hearts are not much better. A big man of the sky-shattering level came to Zuoyue, and he came here incognito. Apart from unannounced investigations, there is no other explanation.

After following Sun Kunqian and Lu Xuan all these years, their hands were not very clean.

Compared with the people at the banquet who looked at each other blankly and paled, Sun Kunqian was calm: "Speaking of which, this painting is still too late. Lord Shen of Ningbei Hou's Mansion has committed crimes for a month. I will only find out now. Please invite Lord Shen Don't blame me for being late."

Shen Zhan's tone was gentle: "How can you blame me? Ben Hou would like to thank Sun Zhizhou for hosting a banquet today."

The conversation, which was obviously plain and plain, was creepy.

Lu Xu'an opened his mouth wide, and his whole body felt as if struck by lightning.

It is said that Lord Shen Xiaohou in the capital city is brave and good at fighting. The most famous is that he led the army at the age of 14 and defeated the Nine-Zigzag Tiger City. inside.

Lu Xu'an was covered in cold sweat, and it took him a long time to recover his voice: "It turns out... so you are Young Lord Shen. I didn't know your identity before, and if I offended you by drinking that night, I still hope that Young Lord Shen is gracious. You can’t speak, and don’t take it to your heart if you say something wrong.”

Shen Zhan raised the corner of his mouth indiscriminately, and said, "Brother Lu, why did you say that? You are inviting me to drink, and you are choosing a beautiful woman to serve you. How can I blame you for being so enthusiastic?"

Lu Xu'an was startled, his mind went blank, he couldn't concentrate on thinking about Shen Ci's unclear words, and then thought about how many men in the world are not lustful?The beauties he sent were all top-notch.

He simply wiped the sweat from his forehead, cupped his hands and said: "Since Young Lord Shen doesn't blame him, the little one can rest assured."

Sun Kunqian sneered and said: "The business of the Lu family has grown bigger and bigger these years, and my sister-in-law is so complacent. I have been smart for so many years, but sometimes I am confused. I told you before, you should be more cautious in business. If you don't listen to me, it's another High-profile win over merchants from various cities, and they are selling official positions, tell me, how much truth is there in Xiaohou Shen's statement that you don't blame him?"

These words undoubtedly gave Lu Xuan and the Gu and Zhao families a head-on blow.

The fire at the city gate brought disaster to the fish in the pond, and it also shocked several bureaucrats in Zhizhou Prefecture and the Wang family.

Not only them, but even Yue Yang was at a loss. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation after following Shen Zhan in arresting corrupt officials.

What does this mean?
Throw yourself into the trap and confess frankly.
