The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 379 Kidnapped (1)
"Third brother forgot about the Lu family. The Lu family and the Xiao family are in-laws. The Lu family is the prince's favorite. If you want to resolve this matter, you must seek the support of the palace. The Lu family is a bridge." Xiao Mingyu said solemnly.

Xiao Mingzhen nodded, "You are right, the Lu family is a bridge, and I have already sent people to the Lu family. The Lu family's attitude is ambiguous. I am afraid that they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and they will not sincerely help."

"There is a glimmer of hope, and the third brother can't give up. Sending someone to show no seriousness, let alone sincerity. The third brother went to the Lu family in person. The Sima family made a fuss because they wanted to profit from it. But this time It has nothing to do with the Lu family, the Lu family is clean, but the Lu family won't get the slightest benefit. Third brother, if you lure him for a profit, the Lu family may not really help you." Xiao Mingyu said.

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, "This matter is clearly ordered by the palace, and the Lu family's weight is limited."

"If you don't try, how will you know? The third brother is good at everything else, but sometimes he is a little too indecisive. At critical moments, you should be more courageous, make up your mind and do what you say."

Xiao Mingzhen smiled and said, "You're right, thanks to my reading for so many years, I'm not as clear as you, Ming Yu. Okay, I'll set off for the Lu family right now. But the Lu family's contribution is not enough for the palace. Also ask sister Mingyu to help. You know the princess and the prince, see if you can start from this point. Even if it doesn't work, at least ask for some useful information."

Xiao Mingyu nodded bluntly, "Okay, I will take care of this matter. Besides, let's not forget one person in the East Mansion."

"You mean the old man of the Dongfu?" Xiao Mingzhen frowned, "The old man of the Dongfu is obsessed with Taoism, and has ignored the affairs of the Dongfu for many years. Is it useful to find him?"

"Why is it useless? He is the head of the East Mansion, and he is in charge of the affairs of the East Mansion. With him around, I don't believe that Second Aunt would dare to mess around."

Xiao Mingzhen nodded, "Alright then, I'll invite the old man back by the way."

"Third Brother, I'm afraid you don't have time. You're going to Lu's house today, and tomorrow you're going to live in the accountant's room to take care of Yinliang. I'll go to Qingyun Temple."

Xiao Mingzhen was worried, "I'm worried about you being a girl. Why don't you let Uncle Wu go for a walk?"

Xiao Mingyu shook his head with a smile, "Third brother, maybe you forgot that my father is an awkward person, and he didn't like the old man of the Dongfu before. If he goes, it will only cause bad things. As for the fourth uncle, he has not liked the old man of the Dongfu since he was a child."

"It's okay for you to go alone. Besides, the old man of Dongfu is also very strange to you. You may not be able to convince him." Xiao Mingzhen was very worried.

Xiao Mingyu frowned, "Then what should you say, third brother?"

"Let Ming Huai go with you. Although he is a little impatient, he is also likable."

"Okay, as long as the fourth aunt is willing to let him go."

The two discussed the details again, and then they broke up.Xiao Mingyu wanted to go with Xiao Minghuai to Shangqingyun Temple to find the old man of the East Mansion, this matter could not be hidden from the five and four housekeepers.Han was very worried at first, worried that Xiao Mingyu would not be able to do such a thing.After being persuaded by Xiao Mingyu, Han was worried about Xiao Mingyu's safety.

Xiao Maoyang said impatiently: "Okay, Mingyu has a sense of propriety, so you don't have to worry. This is a major matter for our Xiao family. Since Mingyu can contribute, let her go. If Sifang dares to If Xiao Minghuai is not allowed to follow, I will go to Xiao Maoheng to make a theory."

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, the fourth aunt has already agreed."

Xiao Maoyang snorted coldly, "There is such a big thing happening at home, but I can't help at all. As expected, I'm a scholar who is useless. It's really useless to be a son and a father. Now even the juniors can't compare, Shame, great shame."

Xiao Maoyang waved his hands to everyone, "Don't persuade me, I know my weight. It's useless, I am ashamed of my ancestors. I am the waste of the Xiao family."

Zhang Fengyun stood at the gate of the compound, motionless as a mountain.The guard came out, "Young Master Zhang, please come in, His Royal Highness is waiting for Young Master Zhang inside."

Zhang Fengyun nodded slightly, "Thank you." He stepped over the threshold and entered the courtyard.

The eldest son Zhou Qi was sitting under the plane tree, making tea.Seeing Zhang Fengyun approaching, motioned him to sit down and talk.Pour tea for Zhang Fengyun himself, Zhang Fengyun hastily got up and bowed to thank him.

The eldest son Zhou Qi's attitude makes people feel like spring breeze, "Fengyun doesn't need to be so polite in front of this eldest son. Sit down, this eldest son already knows the purpose of your visit." He only said he knew but didn't express his opinion, Zhang Fengyun's heart was raised in an instant stand up.

"Your Highness, the Zhang family has shares in those two mines. I am powerless to ask about the Xiao family's affairs. But in this way, the Zhang family will suffer heavy losses, and the foundation of our Zhang family will also be shaken." Zhang Fengyun said in a low voice. Nodding his head, he was extremely respectful and sincere, "Your Highness, please be merciful and give the Zhang family a way to survive."

The crown prince Zhou Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put down the teacup, "Fengyun, you have always been patient, and this crown prince appreciates you the most. You must not let this crown prince down."

Zhang Fengyun was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

The crown prince Zhou Qi didn't even look at Zhang Fengyun, and said directly: "This crown prince will personally set up the tiger and leopard battalion, and the prince has agreed to let me select capable men from the barracks. How about you being the commander of the barracks with a total of 3000 people?" ? This son is very optimistic about you."

In an instant, Zhang Fengyun's breathing became urgent, "His Royal Highness is so kind, Fengyun will definitely not disappoint His Royal Highness's cultivation."

"It's so good." Prince Zhou suggested to Zhang Fengyun to drink tea.

Zhang Fengyun dared not stop drinking.It seemed a little cautious.

The crown prince Zhou Qi smiled and said: "Fengyun, you don't have to be so cautious in front of this crown prince. We will meet often in the future. I have already called the signing room, and your official status can be completed in three to five days at most. At that time, you will be the imperial court." He is a military general of the fourth rank. To be an official, you must have the bearing of being an official, and you must have an overall view. This time, the Wangfu took action against the Xiao family. Do you really think that the Wangfu is coveting the hands of the Xiao family, as rumored outside? Gold and silver mines?"

Is not it?Zhang Fengyun was suspicious.

The eldest son Zhou Qi shook his head and said: "If you need money, there are plenty of methods in the palace, and those who are upright can get enough money for expenses. To move Xiao's family is to kill chickens to warn monkeys. The aristocratic families in Zhongzhou are all eager to move. The Xiao family is the leader. The Xiao family is not only married to the Han family, but Xiao Maolin has stayed in the capital for a long time. With the help of the Han family, Xiao Maolin has now become a third-rank official. But for more than ten years, The Wangfu has always turned a blind eye to such matters. With the connivance of the Wangfu, the aristocratic families will have no more fear."

The eldest son Zhou Qi played with a string of Buddhist beads, "The connivance back then was a wrong decision made by the prince. Now the prince has realized the seriousness of the consequences, so naturally he can no longer condone it. The aristocratic families in Zhongzhou should either firmly follow We are next to the palace, or we can simply vote for the court. If you want to gain benefits from both sides, the palace must not tolerate it any longer."
