Chapter 12 Dinner Party ([-])

Teng Zibu nodded with a smile, and said tentatively, "Zibu also heard that Lu Yizheng seized the goods of the Tang family and Tang Yihuai, the eldest son of the Tang family, as soon as he took office, but he released them again in just one day. Zi Bu can't figure it out, it seems that this Lu Yizheng really shouldn't be underestimated!"

Matsushita smiled slightly, thoughtful, "Yes! I've heard about this, but probably because he didn't find any clues and didn't want to easily offend the Tang family, so he had to let him go. !"

"Perhaps! But Tang Yihuai has always had a close relationship with his adoptive father. Those goods will not reveal any secrets, right?" Teng Zibu asked without any scruples, because Matsushita Tianyi has always trusted Teng Zibu. Plus, at least on the surface.

"Don't worry, that batch of goods has nothing to do with the Panasonic Mansion. Even if there is a problem, it will not be implicated in the Panasonic Mansion. Moreover, Tang Yihuai has just been arrested, so I sent someone to pretend to grab the business of the Tang family and fight against the Tang family. , Lu Yizheng can't suspect us so quickly." Matsushita Tianyi said very confidently, how could he have thought that Lu Yizheng had already begun to doubt his relationship with the Tang family, and it was the person who "betrayed" him right in front of him. This daughter he has always loved.

"Then what is the plan of foster father tomorrow? Do you need Zibu's help?" Teng Zibu continued to ask.

Matsushita smiled, with a cold smile, "Tomorrow we will wait and see what happens. However, I heard that Lu Yizheng not only hosted a banquet for Li-rao celebrities tomorrow, but also personally sent someone to send a letter to Teng Fengda, the great warlord stationed near Li-rao .If Teng Fengda can really come in person tomorrow, there will definitely be a good show.”

Teng Fengda.When he heard these three words, Teng Zibu had an unpredictable expression on his face, but even if this expression was taken back by Teng Zibu, Matsushita Tianyi didn't notice it.

"Since this is the case, foster father should rest early! Just watch a good show tomorrow." Teng Zibu changed the subject and persuaded.

Matsushita also listened to the advice, "Okay, let's go rest now."

Teng Zibu smiled pretentiously, complacently, and suddenly felt that she was just like a child.

On the second day, the day seemed unusually calm on the surface, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was just a storm brewing at night.

The entire General's Mansion was busy all day long, and finally in the evening, the guests arrived one after another, and the outside was already busy, but Lu Yizheng was still sitting in the study as if nothing had happened, with a peaceful look on the surface. Calm, in fact, he himself has no way to estimate what kind of turmoil will happen tonight.

"General, almost all the guests have arrived, it's time for you to go out." A soldier came in and reported.

Lu Yizheng waved his hand, "Wait a little longer." Lu Yizheng said without hesitation, it seemed that he was waiting for some news.

Seeing that Lu Yizheng was so calm, the soldiers couldn't say anything more, so they had to back out again.

As soon as the soldiers left, Xue Tian hurried in from the outside. Seeing Xue Tian, ​​Lu Yizheng regained his energy all of a sudden, stood up "teng", and hurriedly asked, "How is it? What did you find?"

Xue Tian shook his head, "The batch of munitions was stored in the warehouse at Tang's Wharf, and there was no movement."

"Oh?" Lu Yizheng was a little puzzled, "Tang Yihuai is so calm?"

"No, it's Tang Yiluo." Xue Tian paused, "After leaving the General's Mansion yesterday, Tang Yiluo directly sent someone to deliver the goods to the warehouse at the dock without checking. It seems that he didn't know this The secrets inside the cargo."

Lu Yizheng smiled thoughtfully, "Keep staring at them. It seems that this Tang Yiluo is not as simple as we make it out to be."

Xue Tian continued, "In the entire Lirao City, there is probably no one who is innocent!"

Lu Yizheng nodded in agreement, "Then let's meet these extraordinary people now!"

Lu Yizheng walked outside while talking.

At this time, the backyard of the General's Mansion was illuminated by various colored lights like daylight, and the tables and chairs in the yard were neatly arranged, and the bright red tablecloth added an auspicious and festive look.

It was getting late, and most of the guests had arrived. Everyone had their own calculations in their hearts, but on the surface, everyone was smiling, catering to the person they were talking to.

Lu Yizheng had just stepped into the backyard when he ran into Tang Zhengxing, Tang Yiluo and his son head-on.Tang Zhengxing was invited by Lu Yizheng this time to attend his dinner in person. Firstly, it was because it was difficult to easily discredit the Li-Rao Commander, and secondly, because Lu Yizheng had his eyes on the Tang family right after he took office. I want to find an opportunity to relax.It stands to reason that he should bring the elder son Tang Yihuai with him to attend such a grand dinner party, but since Tang Yihuai has just been released by Lu Yizheng, I am afraid that he and Lu Yizheng will conflict or cause criticism, so although Tang Yiluo hates this very much, For ordinary social occasions, he still decided to bring Tang Yiluo over.

"I've seen General Lu." Tang Zhengxing bent down and gave a deep salute.

Lu Yizheng waved his hand, "Master Tang, you don't need to be too polite, Lu can't afford such a big gift from Mr. Tang."

Tang Zhengxing had a smile on his face, "The general's words are wrong. Now you have a large army in your hands, and you are in charge of the peace of Lirao. Tang is just a commoner, and you still have to rely on the general."

Lu Yizheng also laughed and said, "Master Tang is the leader of the Chinese merchants in Lirao. The development of Lirao still depends on Master Tang's strong support!"

The two complimented each other a few words, and then Lu Yizheng got to the point, and asked tentatively, "Master Tang, a few days ago, Lu received news that there were prohibited items in the Tang family's goods, so he seized the Tang family's goods. And the eldest son. Please forgive me, Mr. Tang."

Tang Zhengxing said, "General Lu was joking. You are the commander of Li Rao's army now. It is your job to check the safety of the goods. Even if you find out the safety of the Tang family, it is a matter of course. What's more, the Tang family is upright. , if someone maliciously slanders and arouses the general's suspicion, the general will check at any time." He said these words confidently, and it seemed that he was either ignorant of these things, or he was hiding something.

How could Lu Yizheng easily let go of this opportunity of probing, so he continued to ask, "The Tang family is upright, I'm afraid that's not the case? Lu has heard that there is a batch of deadly goods in the warehouse of the Tang family's wharf." Lu Yizheng got it together Tang Zhengxing approached, lowered his voice, and said in a slightly threatening tone.

Seeing Lu Yizheng's serious words, Tang Zhengxing was really stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Tang Yiluo quickly took up the conversation, "Since General Lu still has doubts about the Tang family, why did he let him go so easily yesterday? "
