Turbulent Times Chapter 920: It’s a character
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but then they were all overjoyed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is coming from the Lu family?" Dong Kang asked anxiously.
"My lord, it is the second master of the Lu family who is here." The butler quickly replied.
Everyone was startled, and Dong Kang lost his voice: "Everyone follow me to pick up the second master!"
As he spoke, he took the lead to go outside. Everyone including Qian Zhengkuo hurriedly followed. As soon as I and the prefect left the county and came to the salt field, the Lu family probably got the news. As expected, the Lu family was still very afraid of the prefect, so Lu Youwei rushed here in person, perhaps just to satisfy the prefect."
Not waiting for a few people to reach the gate of Dong Kang's mansion, Lu Youwei broke in by himself. The people in Dong's mansion did not dare to stop him, and they were still leading the way, so they met Dong Kang and Qian Zhengkuo on the way People meet.
Seeing that Qian Youwei was in such a hurry, Qian Zhengkuo followed Dong Kang and others to salute Lu Youwei and thought to himself, the prefect suddenly came to the salt field, and the Lu family seemed very nervous and scared!
…
…
"My lord, the number two member of the Lu family, Lu Youwei came to the salt field overnight, and now he entered Dong Kang's mansion." Before the conversation between Wang Junlin and Xu Xiaohu was over, Zhang Tiangang came in to report.
Wang Junlin was a little surprised, and sneered, "The Lu family's reaction is not slow, but I don't know if Lu Youwei came to cover up their affairs, or came to negotiate terms with me."
Zhang Tiangang said: "My lord, Lu Youwei brought nearly a hundred guards, and also brought two large carts of heavy objects. I don't know what is on the cart."
Wang Junlin frowned slightly, and was about to ask further questions. At this time, a guard reported outside the door: "My lord, there is someone outside asking to see him, claiming to be Lu Youwei from the Lu family."
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and said: "This Lu Youwei is quite a character, Xu Xiaohu, you should avoid it for a while and let Lu Youwei come in!"
…
…
At this moment, only Wang Junlin and Lu Youwei were left in the hall, and Wang Junlin waved away the others. Lu Youwei bowed his hands to Wang Junlin and saluted: "Lu family, Lu Youwei pays respects to Duke An of Qin."
Wang Junlin frowned and said, "Lu Youwei, do you have a title?"
Wang Junlin didn't say that he would be exempt from the gift, so Lu Youwei couldn't get up to accept the gift, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I don't have a title on my body."
Wang Junlin asked again: "Then can I be an official?"
Lu Youwei's eyes flashed, and he said: "I don't have an official position."
Although with his identity and the energy of the Lu family, it is easy to get a high-level official position, but he has always stayed in the clan to help his father Lu Bian take care of the family affairs, so he has never had an official position.
As for titles, both Yang Guang and Yang Jian wished to wipe out the powerful family. Except for the recognition of Lu Bian's original title of county duke in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in order to appease the powerful family when the Sui Dynasty was established, they never gave it to anyone in the Lu family. Pass the title.
So, if the old man Lu Bian is not dead, it is impossible for other members of the Lu family to have the title. If his elder brother was still alive before, he would not have his share of the title. Now that the elder brother is dead, he has the right to inherit the title and suzerain Of course, the elder brother's eldest son, Lu Jianheng, the eldest grandson of the Lu family, is also qualified to inherit the title and the position of suzerain, so no matter whether he admits it or not, recently, the Lu family has started to stand in line intentionally or unintentionally since Lu Bian and below, and gradually divided into Lu Youwei and Lu Jianheng are two forces.
"You have neither an official position nor a title. Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Wang Junlin said suddenly.
Lu Youwei's complexion changed slightly. With his status, not to mention the prefect of a county, even if he met the big shots from the three provinces and six departments, he would not have to kneel down. The former prefects were even more respectful when they met him. Tong Shou Sun Yang didn't say he was like his own dog in front of him, but he was respectful. In short, he had never been so humiliated.
If Lu Jianheng would definitely throw up his sleeves and leave, but Lu Youwei is the most tolerant person in the Lu family. This can be seen from the fact that he has not been able to go out to be an official for many years and has always been by Lu Bian's side. come out.
So after Lu Youwei's face changed several times, he lifted his front and knelt down in front of Wang Junlin, and his face regained his composure, and said: "The grassroots Lu Youwei pays his respects to the prefect."
Wang Junlin looked deeply at Lu Youwei, thinking that this person is indeed a character, he did not let him get up immediately, but said: "I was not sure before, but now it seems that the thousand cavalrymen from Youzhou were brought here. The plot to surround and kill me was probably proposed by you, and your father Lu Gong agreed!"
At the end, Wang Junlin's tone became extremely cold, and his eyes became even colder, and an invisible murderous intent shrouded Lu Youwei.
Lu Youwei's heart was beating wildly, he suppressed the fear in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "The prefect is joking, the thousand cavalry has nothing to do with our Lu family, let alone the suggestion of the grassroots."
Wang Junlin snorted coldly, did not speak, but took a sip of tea on the table. This Lu Youwei is not a simple character, he deliberately humiliated him first, and Lu Youwei endured it. Now that he was threatening him with murderous intent, he was still able to remain calm, and his answers were impeccable. The profound heritage of this thousand-year-old family can be seen from this person alone.
Wang Junlin did not speak because he needed time to think.
After he finished thinking, he gently put down the teacup and said, "I heard that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wenxi and Mrs. Pei are related by marriage, and I and that boy Mr. Pei Yuanqing are called brothers. So, you are worse than me." If you want to be a generation older, how can you afford such a big gift?"
As he spoke, Wang Junlin held his hands up, Lu Youwei secretly scolded Wang Junlin for being so thick-skinned that he pretended that what happened just now had never happened, and now he regards himself as an elder. However, the scolding turned into scolding, Wang Junlin suddenly changed his attitude, and he didn't look embarrassed at all, which also made Lu Youwei feel extremely awe-inspiring, thinking that Wang Junlin is really a powerful person, if it's just that he is good at poison or martial arts, that's all. , this scheming is the most troublesome.
Lu Youwei's acting skills are obviously top-notch. He also slowly got up as if what happened just now had never happened, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the guest seat. His expression returned to calm, and his temperament was elegant. The extravagance it deserves.
Wang Junlin waited for Lu Youwei to do it, squinted at him and said, "I don't know why Erye Lu came to see me at night?"
Can you do something to restore the hatred caused by Wang Junlin being besieged and killed by a thousand cavalry?
How can Wang Junlin ignore the emperor's pressure and not start a full-scale war with the Lu family?
