Manor Romance

Chapter 133 Infighting
Ren Fei nodded in satisfaction, and praised: "Smart! The head of the Lu family is also an ambitious person. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he can own a state and have his own armed forces, the Lu family will no longer have to hide. Concealed, relying on the profound background to move towards glory again, and even reach a height that our ancestors could not reach."

"Now it seems that they have failed, what is the reason?" Yun Li asked suspiciously.

Knowing that Yunli had many doubts, Ren Fei patiently explained them to him.The reason why this plan failed was because of internal disagreements in the old Lu family. The head of the family was determined to cooperate with the military government to open up the treasures of heritage that had been buried for countless years, while the core members of the other line were firmly opposed to this approach. They think that even if they can win a state, they don't have the strength to gain a foothold. In the end, they just draw water from a bamboo basket.

Moreover, the Lu family has always had iron-like ancestral precepts, and the wealth in the inheritance cannot be used until the time of life and death. The reason why the Lu family has been able to pass on for so many years is because of the existence of this foundation, which has nourished generations of Lu family members.

For this matter, the old Lu family split into two factions. The radical faction represented by the head of the Lu family had already reached a cooperation agreement with the military government and was secretly planning to open the treasure.The conservative faction is slightly weaker, and the key to unlock the treasure is not in their hands. They can only destroy it.

"Lost it? This is too dramatic. What is the specific situation? You old man, don't be fooled, tell me quickly." Yun Li's interest was aroused, but Ren Fei was still in a hurry. Slowly and in detail, he made his old habit of impatient.

He had just drank half of the tea, and upon hearing Yunli's urging, Ren Fei could only helplessly shake his head, and continued, "I don't know exactly what happened, after all, this was a secret more than 20 years ago, but the loss of the key is still a mystery." It is true, because the key was obtained by a scientific research team in China at that time, and they were going to several nearby countries for academic exchanges, but for some unknown reason, the key to unlock the treasure fell into their hands."

"What happened to the scientific research team? The Lu family won't watch the key being taken away, right?" Yun Li's first concern was the outcome of the scientific research team.

"Disappeared, the entire scientific research team disappeared, as if the world had evaporated. This is obviously the work of the Lu family. As for whether they will get back the key, it is unknown." Ren Fei sighed.

"This should be a big news at the time, what happened afterwards?" Yun Li continued to ask, and Ren Fei continued to explain to him.

Back then, the information network was not as developed as it is today. It would be several days before the domestic side knew about this situation. This scientific research team was composed of top archaeologists and historians in the country. Their disappearance was also a big problem for the country. It was a huge loss. At that time, the school directly under the team and the relevant central departments attached great importance to the matter and asked the Lao authorities to thoroughly investigate the incident, because it is speculated that the scientific research team had an accident on the border between China and Laos. The two countries also sent a lot of manpower to search, but nothing was found. .

What's even more bizarre is that both China and Laos stopped all search operations shortly thereafter, and at the same time blocked the matter in public opinion, hoping that the matter will subside as soon as possible, but the family members of the missing team members are not reconciled and want to see people With the belief of seeing the dead body, he petitioned the central government many times to ask for a thorough investigation of the matter, but nothing happened.

These family members are not ordinary people. One of them is the leadership of a university in the southwest, and the other runs a technology company. These two families were the most determined camp at the time, and they had quite a lot of support behind them, but in the end there was still no In any case, this matter gradually disappeared. The fate of the two families is different. It is said that one family has immigrated abroad.

Of course, the "key" to open the treasure does not refer to an ordinary key. After all, even a lock made of diamonds has a lot of means to open it, instead of fighting to the death for a key.

This key is just a general term. The key to unlock the treasure may be a location map. After all, the main business of the Lu family is tomb robbery. It is also possible to hide the treasure in a certain tomb. The family has already converted this treasure into currency figures and deposited them in various banks.

In any case, the cooperation between the Lu family and the military government fell through, and the rift within them could not be healed. This ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years finally split because of the treasure, and the new Lu family subordinate to them also carried out After a reshuffle, the strength of the Lu family has dropped a lot since then.

As for how the treasure was connected to the smuggling case, it was because the old Lu family’s conservative faction had been acting secretly since then, not knowing what they were seeking, and the patriarch’s faction would naturally not allow them to do so. The most recent conflict between the two parties was the smuggling case of the Lu family in Luzhen a few years ago.

What the patriarch's lineage didn't expect was that the conservative lineage ignored the original agreement and not only let the affiliated forces investigate everywhere, but even the members of the main family also got involved in domestic operations. Fighting openly and secretly, the smuggling case is just a trigger. The real focus of this matter is actually the struggle between the two forces of the old Lu family.

After hearing this, most of Yunli's doubts cleared up. Unexpectedly, this Lu family has such an amazing background, and the family who adopted Lu Ci obviously belonged to the old Lu family, because it was verified very early When they came out, the family ID cards of this family were all fake, and they deliberately forged their identities to lurk in. However, they should only be a branch of the conservative faction and not belong to the core level, otherwise they would not have fled in all directions.

"This is a struggle within the Lu family. It's better for us outsiders not to get involved. Although the power of the Lu family is not as good as before, especially in China, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. You should understand this truth I understand, and you guys don't want to think about treasures, it is not only a hot potato, but also a powder keg, which can blow you to pieces if you are not careful." Ren Fei advised solemnly.

"For me, Lu Ci's safety is much more important than this treasure. The people of the Lu family allow him to fight and fight. As long as it doesn't affect us, I am willing to listen to your next dissection after many years. What will be the final result of the Lu family's struggle." Yun Li expressed his opinion.

"You know what to think. It's better not to provoke this kind of trouble. Back then, they were able to solve the disappearance case of the scientific research team. This kind of ability is not something ordinary people can have. The Lu family must have other tricks." Ren Not speculatively.

Yun Li also agrees with Ren Fei, although he is quite interested in the treasures of the Lu family, not because of the amount of treasures, but the location of the treasures, the method of preservation, and the "key" of the treasures. Come on, these are not worth mentioning.

"By the way, do you still remember that Lu Qishan you met at the auction last time, the owner of Hailu Mall, is he from the Lu family?" Yun Li hesitated for a while, and finally brought up Lu Qishan. Ren Fei asked.

"As far as I know, he should be regarded as a member of the Xinlu family. As for which lineage he belongs to, I don't know, but this person's ability is good. Hailu Mall was only established in recent years, and now it seems that there is still a lot of development. Potential, if there is no accident, he will be valued by the old Lu family sooner or later, and his future is boundless." Thinking of Lu Qishan, Ren Fei also gave his pertinent evaluation.

"The struggle between the two factions of the old Lu family, the new Lu family attached to them should not stay aloof. If so many forces are involved, when will this matter end?" Yun Li worried.

Ren Fei shook his head and explained: "To this day, there is no clear boundary between the old Lu family and the new Lu family. Those who are powerful are naturally qualified to call themselves the old Lu family and develop their own power, but Lu Everyone is a businessman, they only look at the interests, if one day they put their ideas on Miss Lu Ci, they must be driven by interests, you know this and you can deal with it."

Yunli nodded heavily, fully agreeing with Ren Fei's point of view, although it is still unclear why Lu Qishan took Lu Ci abroad and provided her with shelter and help, but what is certain is that Lu Ci is of value to him , as long as he is clear about this, no matter what he does in the future, Yunli can prescribe the right medicine and will not let Lu Ci become his pawn.

Then the two talked about the recent developments of the Lu family. When they finished talking, it was already close to ten o'clock. Under the unfavorable hospitality, Yun Li and Lu Ci stayed overnight at Ren Fei's house. The environment here is a bit better. It is not inferior to the luxurious rooms of Mingyi Hotel, the two of them can have a good rest.

The two left early the next morning, and Ren Fei and the others didn't do much to keep them, saying that they would definitely go to Spotted Deer Manor if they had time, and Ren Min planned to go back to school in a few days, so Yun Li asked her Say hello to Dean Ni and the others. He probably won't be able to go back in the short term, and he doesn't know when he will be able to see his old man again.

When he returned to the manor, there was no one in the Xiaolu Mountain, which made Lu Ci very confused, but Yunli knew the reason. He wanted Lu Ci to go back to the bamboo building to rest first, but Lu Ci insisted on going to Jifang Garden first. Depending on the situation, she can move freely now, and if she pays attention to rest, it shouldn't be a big problem, and Yunli will let her go.

It's not that the employees didn't come, and they all went to help in the hills on the other side of Dalu Mountain. Today is the day when the [-] acres of soybeans are harvested, so they have to be fully dispatched. Yunli sent Lu Ci to Jifang After the garden, he immediately went to the mountain to see the situation.

Before they got close, they heard the sound of machines neighing and people talking. They were not surprised to see Yun Li approaching, because he had reported to Xu Xiangjiao yesterday, and if there were no accidents, he would return to the manor this morning.
