Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 55
Back at Daze Mountain, Lu Wei's words to Zhou He were slightly different from what he told Lu Qing.

He told the fact that he met Chen Sheng by chance, but the other details remained largely unchanged.

Zhou He was not surprised by this: there were vague rumors among the senior officials after the Autumn Harvest Conference that the former Kuei Hall Master was not dead.

But apart from Tian Mi being horrified by this, even Tian Meng, who planned all this, did not make any additional reaction.

Chen Sheng no longer holds the position of hall leader and has been expelled from the farm. This stumbling block has been removed. Why bother to kill them all? We were all brothers before.
If we want to forcefully pursue him, at least two hall masters must take the lead. This is really not worth the gain.

For Tian Meng, it was the old guy who was doing the trick behind his back that became his biggest trouble now.

Under the circumstances, the only people who could help Chen Sheng escape from the punishment of Shen Tang were the five hall masters.

Of course, the Tian Tiger brothers must be ruled out as the masterminds first.

Zhou He would not wade through this muddy water if he wanted to take over the position of elder.

Situ Wanli, a gambler, would never do a 'losing money' business.

In this way, it is clear who the remaining person is.

However, even though the senior farmers more or less guessed who let Chen Sheng go, there was no definite evidence and the matter became a well-known 'secret'.

Lu Wei paid little attention to this. After he finished the report and exited the main hall, he hurriedly handed over all the gains from the trip to the Gonggong Hall warehouse. Then, without taking any rest, he immediately arranged for the Lu family and his son to come over.

The Lu family and his son were taken into a farmhouse by Lu Wei when they were in Zhuangshan Town. They performed well in transporting property along the way and were promoted to the rank of Erxing Zhucao as soon as they arrived at Gonggong Hall.

This level is not high, but it can already hold some important positions.

Lu Qing was put in charge of the audit work of Gonggongtang, while Lu Chen took the original Lu family's clerks and rangers to serve as forest patrol disciples. They were the second group of Lu Wei's confidants at the headquarters.

As for the first batch, they were naturally the ten followers that Lu Wei selected when he first came to Daze Mountain last year. These people were appointed as warehouse managers very early.

All current external expenditures of Gonggongtang must be reviewed by Lu Qing first, and then signed and confirmed by the ten confidants before they can be shipped out.

Both procedures are indispensable, unless you have a special ticket from the Lord Steward.

In addition, after Xu Qiu left, only a few of his subordinates from the Xu family left with him, and most of them stayed and took refuge with Lu Wei. These people are not considered confidants for the time being, but they can be used.

The disciples who originally belonged to Tian Zhong's sect, no matter what they thought in their hearts, when doing things, they were afraid that they would be caught by the new general manager if they were not active, so they cooperated very well.

Gonggongtang is currently in a good situation~
After personally following him for a week and initially recognizing that his confidants could complete their work well, Lu Wei prepared to start his journey back to Yan.

Over at Lu Qiuge, Shan Yuye's results in the past few months still need to be actually inspected, but Lu Mu has obviously completed the task very well: whether it is the transformation of farm tools or the papermaking tasks that were previously assigned to him, they have been solved, and the results have been delivered. Daze Mountain.

When these items are used in Gonggongtang’s daily life, the efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

On Lu Ni's side, it has been some time since the doctors left. Although Xiao Yan'er still insists on taking medicine, the frequency has been reduced from daily at the beginning to once a week.

Injecting the internal power of the rejuvenation skill into Xiao Yan'er's body, he wrapped up the excessive medicinal power accumulated during his absence. Then, Lu Wei informed Lu Ni that he would follow him to Jicheng.

Lu Ni didn't hesitate at all, bowing his head neatly and responded.

Xiaoyan'er still needs the rejuvenation power, and she and her daughter are left alone in the headquarters with no one to rely on.

Zhou He actually had some objections to Lu Wei's decision to return to the Yan Kingdom. In his opinion, as the general manager and heir to the hall master, Lu Wei should not run around wandering around anymore. Daze Mountain is the main base of the farm family.

In response to these remarks, Lu Wei was much more confident than when he first arrived and chose to persuade the old hall master on the grounds that "there are still nearly ten thousand peasant disciples in the Yan Kingdom".

Of course, these disciples of the Yan Kingdom will also withdraw to the Daze Mountains in the future, because among the six kingdoms of Shandong, only the Qi Kingdom will not be invaded by war for a long time in the future.

But the deadline is not now. Until the plan to assassinate Qin takes place, Yan State can still develop for a few more years.

——————When Lu Wei, three people and two horses, and Lu Ni, who was holding Xiao Yan’er, entered Jicheng, God was not kind to them, and they happened to encounter a snowstorm.

As of April, such heavy snow is rarely recorded even in winter.

The entire Jicheng City was covered with snow, and the visibility was extremely low under the heavy snow. The door of Luqiu Pavilion was closed tightly. Lu Wei and Lu Ni had no time to knock on the door and wait for someone to open it, so they simply left the horse outside. The two of them used Qinggong to go directly from the third floor window. Jump into the pavilion.

This happens to be Lu Wei's office, the room where Gao Jianli was previously received.

Turning around and closing the window quickly, Lu Wei luckily shook the snowflakes off his body.

I haven't been back for a few months. The office room is neat and clean, with no dust accumulation. It seems that someone is cleaning it carefully every day.

Keenly aware of two familiar scents outside the door, Lu Wei smiled and sat cross-legged on the main seat: "It's me, you two, come in!"

"Brother Lu!" "Boss!"

Lu Yu and Lu Ye, who had their backs against the wall outside the door and drew out their swords, ready to stab at any moment, were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound, and then came an endless surprise: they heard an unusual movement and thought that a thief without eyesight had stolen into Lu Qiu Pavilion. Come here, I want to teach you a bloody lesson.

Throwing the sword away in a hurry, the two pushed the door open and entered, bypassing the "Shen Nong Tasted Herbs" screen. When they saw that it was their eldest brother who had returned, they couldn't help crying with joy.

Then he saw a strange woman standing behind Lu Wei holding a child, and she didn't know how to respond.

"This is Lu Ni, just like you."

Lu Wei, who understood the two people's thoughts, smiled lightly and briefly introduced each other, and then said: "It's windy and snowy outside, Lu Ni's daughter may catch the cold."

"Ayu, you will take her to find an upper room to live in, and also instruct a few female disciples to boil some hot water and bring it to me."

"Aye, our horses are still outside. Go and ask the disciples to bring them in."

"Look for Shan Hemu again. The four of you will wait for me in the reception room on the second floor later~"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, master."

Lu Qiuge has changed a lot in the past few months since he left.

For example, under Yuye's arrangement, the pavilion was actually equipped with a dedicated maid, which was not at all like a farmer's disciple.

Enjoying the caring care of his delicate hands and not having to do anything by himself, Lu Wei did not dwell too much on this issue. After taking a hot bath, he put on his coat and went down to the second floor.

Saname Konoha was sitting in the reception room. When she saw her boss coming in, she quickly stood up straight.

Waving his hands to indicate to the four of them, Lu Wei walked to the bearskin seat opposite them and sat down comfortably.

After exchanging a few words, he got down to the topic:

"Thank you for your hard work these past few months~"

"Let's each report on the current situation in Yan State."

"Yes!" Lu Yu happily raised his hand first: "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, I come first."

"I followed the instructions in those books and formed a secret team!"

"The identities of the secret team members are kept secret and they are distributed in all walks of life: there are street vendors, tavern clerks, and guards of the Yanchun Lord's Mansion."
