Turbulent Times Chapter 992: All mouths make gold

Lu Youwei's answer surprised Lu's suzerain, because he knew very well that his son was not so generous. He looked back in astonishment, and then saw the fleeting hatred, unwillingness, and guilt in his own son's eyes , scared, and finally turned into a face full of ferocity.

Then his mouth was covered, and a leather rope tightly strangled his throat.

Sect Master Lu wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound. His hands were tightly held by his own son. He could only kick his feet vigorously, but it was useless. He was too old, and his body was almost useless. strength.

Before Wang Junlin came to Fanyang County, the old man who looked like the emperor of Fanyang County had infinite horror and resentment in his eyes, staring at the salt girl not far away from him.

The entire Lu family's ancestral house is under his control, but he is too old, and many things need to be done for him, and the person he trusts most is Yan Nu, so many people are under the control of Yan Nu Under the circumstances, such as his cronies and confidantes in the mansion, these people are not here at this time, and they will definitely not come here at this time, and his most trusted salt girl actually watched her being killed by her son.

Salt girl took a look at Lu Bian, the patriarch of the Lu family, and turned around slowly, thinking: "I am a beautiful woman in the prime of life, but I am occupied by you, a bad old man. You feel good about yourself and think it is right. My favorite, this is my honor. But every time I am held in your arms, even though you can't do those things, I still feel disgusted."

The leather rope at the throat became tighter and tighter. Suzerain Lu gradually couldn't breathe, his chest was burning with pain, and his eyes began to blur. He knew that everyone had betrayed him, but compared with the betrayal, that strong The strong remorse and hatred were even more difficult to suppress, but he suddenly remembered the last assassination he had arranged for Wang Junlin, and thought that if Wang Junlin died, it might be a good thing for the clan to let the evil son who killed him be the suzerain. The best choice, so he stopped struggling, and there was a trace of relief in the depths of his eyes, as if he was pleased with Lu Youwei's decisiveness.

The salt girl turned her head to see the relief in the depths of the old man's eyes. A lunatic who doesn't take his life, or even his own life seriously. And this Lu Youwei, who can kill his father, is also a lunatic. I don't want to serve such a lunatic anymore."

Finding the relief and anticipation in his father's eyes looking at him before he died, Lu Youwei burst into tears, heartbroken, and secretly swore in his heart: "Wang Junlin, you forced me to kill my nephew, and you forced me to kill my nephew? I killed my father, and one day, I will definitely tear you to pieces."

Swearing secretly in his heart, he got up slowly, and was about to say something to Yannv, when he suddenly realized that there was another person in front of him. , Lu Youwei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that fortunately he didn't say the oath just now.

Yan Nu looked at the Spring and Autumn Valley Master who suddenly appeared in the field, and was startled, but seeing the change in Lu Youwei's expression, she understood that the old man should be sent by the prefect to monitor Lu Youwei.

…

…

In early winter, the Lu family's ancestral house, and even the entire Lu family town, were covered in silver makeup.

This is naturally not snow, but colder than snow.

The 30,000 people in Lujia Town all wore filial piety, and those snow-white cloth strips were like cold imperial edicts, telling the kindness and achievements of the Lu family suzerain to the people of the town.

The news of Suzerain Lu's death spread throughout Fanyang County almost within a day, and the specific circumstances of his death were passed on by different people, and several versions were quickly derived.

But no matter which version of the rumor it is, the spearhead is directed at the prefect. Firstly, the anger of the members of the Lu clan began to accumulate, and then tens of thousands of tenants of the Lu clan became dissatisfied and even hated the prefect, and then most of the scholars in Fanyang County became angry.

But no one dared to seek revenge from the prefect who was inspecting work in Zhuo County, and even dared not question him, because Wang Junlin's reputation for viciousness and poison was too strong, not to mention that there were five thousand sailors outside the county seat of Zhuo County stationed there.

I just don't know when it started, something about the Lu family and some things that the Lu family suzerain secretly did spread in Fanyang County.

For example, for many years, the pirates who came ashore to plunder the people were raised by the Lu family in secret. Everyone couldn't help but believe this, because 13 nobles from the three counties in the south were robbed by pirates and nearly a hundred people were taken away. They are the witnesses.

There is also a navy Zhonglang who has already been classified as a rebel and has a very bad reputation among the people. At that time, Mrs. Lu was afraid, and asked Dou Shihai to lead the navy to kill the pirates to silence them. There was no need to explain this matter. Everyone felt that something was wrong. The pirates were wiped out, which further confirmed the rumor.

Also, when the news spread that the Lu family occupied half of Fan Yang's fertile land, everyone was shocked. They only knew that the Lu family had a lot of land, but they didn't know that there were so many. , some rumors have also spread.

How did the Lu family get these fertile fields?

The owners of some fields died inexplicably, and then the good fields became Lu's in a daze.

Some landowners were framed, committed lawsuits and imprisoned, and their fields became Lu's.

The so-called popular mouth makes gold, when a news is heard by everyone, and then it is said from their mouths, it is not true and it becomes true. Obviously, people have no choice but to believe it, but according to the inertia of most people's thinking, one thing has been proven to be true. Even if something like this is made up, they will believe it.

The most important thing is that these news and rumors spread extremely fast, and everyone in Fanyang County knew about them almost overnight. The storyteller told some stories with emotion, and many people believed them after hearing them. After the good-looking play in the Light Rain Theater was staged, some people experienced Lu's terror and ulterior motives.

First of all, the views of the people of Fanyang County, who have not received Lu's favor, towards Lu and the prefect have subtly changed.

Afterwards, some people who were originally landlords and later became tenants of the Lu family in a daze, and who had received a lot of favors from the Lu family for many years suddenly remembered some things, such as their father committed a crime at the time, and the family was in order to manage the government. , bought a few dozen acres of land to Lu Shi, and changed from a landlord to a tenant. Now that my father has passed away, I have always been very grateful for Lu Shi's care and kindness, but now I think about whether it is Lu Shi who committed the crime. Shi secretly arranged, the purpose is to plot their own fields.

Almost everyone has a dark side deep in their hearts. When some things about the Lu family gradually spread, some tenants of the Lu family thought of many things, and then their views on these things gradually changed. There is no complete change, but doubts are enough. As long as there are doubts, their gratitude to Lu Shi will dissipate. Wang Junlin does not want their hatred towards Lu Shi, as long as these people do not feel grateful to Lu Shi up.

Wang Junlin knows that the poor are most likely to breed hatred for the rich, but in Fanyang County, everyone is poor in front of Lu Shi, Lu Shi is unlucky, as long as there is no gratitude to Lu Shi, everyone will be easy This breeds an inexplicable gloating psychology, which is the hatred of the rich deep in their hearts.
