Chapter 193 The servant of the household department, changing generals

The person who came was the servant of the household department, the official worshiped as the fifth rank, but he came to pay New Year's greetings to a royal businessman of the Lu family who had no rank.

Originally, after the fifteenth year, New Year's greetings are rare, but it is unheard of for a fifth-rank official to travel thousands of miles to give a no-rank grassroots hundred years.

After Shu Yunqing heard the news early in the morning, he asked Daxi to stay in the room and was not allowed to go anywhere.She intuitively felt that the intention of the Minister of Rites was not that simple.

The servant of the household department is named Xue Yancheng, and he is an official who has been promoted in the past two years.The post said that he was returning to Beijing after the annual leave to go on duty. He passed by Yangzhou and came to visit.

The first time Lu Chenggong received the invitation, he had someone find Shu Yunqing, and after Shu Yunqing had read the invitation, he asked her for her opinion.Before he knew it, Lu Cheng discovered that Shu Yunqing had become the backbone of the Lu family.

"Father, if you want to see him, you can." Shu Yunqing said, and respectfully put the card back on Lu Cheng's desk: "Besides, this person is the servant of the household department, and the treasury of Nanlan Kingdom is in his hands. Being friendly with him is not a bad thing for our Lu family."

Hearing this, Lu Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "I just think it's just a coincidence that the servant of the household department came here."

"It's really a coincidence. If my daughter-in-law guessed correctly, he should be related to the business owner who visited our Lu residence in the past few days. In Beijing, he might be under Chen Jing's family."

"So, he didn't pass by Yangzhou to visit this time, he should come to find out if Jiashu is still in Yangzhou?" Lu Cheng frowned.

"It should be." Shu Yunqing nodded: "In the past few days, Grand Master Gao has also made people disguised as Jiashu and appeared in the capital several times. In addition, His Majesty suppressed bandits and arrested people before. Chen Jing, he must have become suspicious, and sneaked up on our Lu family to do something secretly."

"Then since he has already suspected our Lu family, shouldn't he let Jiashu come back quickly?" Lu Cheng worried.

"No," Shu Yunqing quickly comforted: "Father, I let Daxi pretend to be Jiashu to appear frequently in Yangzhou, and Grand Master Gao made people pretend to be Jiashu to show up in Kyoto from time to time. Chen Jing must be suspicious, and he It is absolutely unexpected that these two Lu Jiashus are fake, so Jiashu should not come back at this time, and should sneak in when Chen Jing's Yantian is recruiting people."

"That being said, Jiashu has a reckless personality. I'm worried that he will cause some trouble." Lu Cheng sighed.

"Don't worry, Dad, I believe in Jiashu, he is very smart, he will definitely be able to protect himself!" Saying that, Shu Yunqing squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was really relieved.

Seeing Shu Yunqing's confidence, Lu Cheng, a father, didn't know what to say, he could only sigh: "Jiashu is so determined, for you, he really dares to take any risks."

"That's not true," Shu Yunqing said, "I'm afraid you don't know, Dad, that Qian Wanwan belongs to Chen Jing. After his death, we saw his subordinates appear in the Spring Garden in the capital. They are the housekeepers of Chen's residence." He personally received him. Father, when His Majesty gave the Lu family the title of imperial merchant and let the Lu family run the salt transportation business, what happened?"

"You mean..." Lu Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief: "Impossible, how is it possible! At that time, Chen Jing was not the prime minister, how could he have such great power! Even if he had, at that time he did not Dare to think about salt luck!"

"How is it impossible?" Shu Yunqing said, "Not only did he dare to think about salt transportation, but he also discovered the salt field after he failed to win the qualification for salt transportation. My father was plotting revenge because he discovered his secret. If it wasn't for him If my father didn't have enough evidence back then, Chen Jing would have died [-] times!"

After hearing this, Lu Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

He has always been a well-behaved businessman, knowing that the officialdom is difficult and dangerous, so he has never dared to have too much contact with court officials over the years.The only person who has a good friendship is the former Yangzhou magistrate Wang Yanqing, but Wang Yanqing is also from Chen Jing, and now another servant of the household department has come to ask to see him, and he is still from Chen Jing!How many courtiers did Chen Jing win over, and so many people put themselves in danger for him!
Don't they all know that it is a capital offense to involve the national line of salt transportation?

Lu Cheng kept silent. Shu Yunqing knew that the news was too shocking, and Lu Cheng couldn't accept it for a while, so he comforted him: "Father, you don't have to worry. Since Xue Yancheng is here, let him come. We are just one Ordinary businessmen, there is nothing worth exploring. What Chen Jing is most worried about is that Jiashu will ruin his good deeds again, so let him see that Jiashu is still in the Lu residence, so it will be fine."

"But Daxi pretends to be Jiashu and goes out with you on weekdays. After all, the common people are afraid of Jiashu's notoriety, but this servant of the household department must not take it easy. What if he sees the flaw?" Lu Cheng was still worried. .

"This Xue Yancheng has never met Jiashu, nor has he had any contact with Jiashu, so he will definitely not be able to see any flaws." Shu Yunqing said to himself: "As long as Daxi behaves too much at that time, he will be able to fool him."

"I hope so..."

After leaving Lu Cheng's study, Shu Yunqing finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although Shu Yunqing was very confident when comforting Lu Cheng, but only she knew that she was not at all sure whether she could hide the truth.

Not to mention that Daxi is not talkative by nature. Although he grew up with Lu Jiashu and knows what kind of person Lu Jiashu is, after all, the two of them have completely different personalities. too difficult.

Back in the yard, Shu Yunqing couldn't help but sighed.

"Why does Young Madam sigh all the time today?" Lu E, who hadn't talked to her all the way, finally couldn't help asking.

"Is there?" Shu Yunqing didn't realize it.

"Yes, after coming out of the master's study, the young lady sighed dozens of times along the way." Lue said seriously.

Hearing this, Shu Yunqing sighed again: "Then how many times is this?"

"I don't know, I didn't count carefully..." Lue stuck out her tongue, but she was a bit clever and cute.

Looking at Lue, Shu Yunqing suddenly frowned, as if thinking about something.

Seeing that Shu Yunqing was suddenly stunned, Lue raised her hand and waved: "Young Madam, what are you thinking about so preoccupied, we are all in the yard, should we go back to the bedroom or the study?"

"Go to the study!" Shu Yunqing came back to his senses, and the depression between his brows disappeared: "Hurry up and call Dadong and Daxi, and tell me that I have something urgent!"

After finishing speaking, Shu Yunqing turned around and ran towards the study room, leaving Lue, who hadn't reacted yet, in a daze.

It wasn't until Shu Yunqing entered the study that Lue realized it, and hurried to find Dadong and Daxi to the study.

"Young Madam, is there anything you can do with the two of us?" Seeing that Lue was in a hurry, Dadong could only ask while walking on the road.

"I didn't say anything, it looks like I'm in a hurry, and the young lady also said it's a matter of urgency, let's hurry up!" While speaking, they had already reached the door of the study.Lue knocked on the door, and after the sound of "come in" came from inside, Lue pushed the door open and entered.

I was dumbfounded as soon as I entered the door.

"Young madam... what are you... doing..." Lue stared dumbfounded at the bottles and cans that Shu Yunqing was fiddling with on the desk, and stuttered a little.

"I've decided," Shu Yunqing cut over with a smile: "Dadong's temperament is actually the most similar to the young master. Today, let Dadong pretend to be the young master to meet the servant of the household department of Laoshizi!"
