At night, the study "Dongpozhai" of the old man from the Lu family in Jiangning was brightly lit.

The old man stays in the yamen every day, but the old man doesn't care about the family affairs at all. On ordinary days, he can't go back to Jiangning several times a month, and he's back every day for a while.

The old man returned home and the butler Hong Quan became busy. Hong Quan, who was already old and weak, looked even older these days even older and older.

"Old Master, the Nanfu Army is going down the mountain!" Hong Quan hunched his back, his shadow stretched out very long, and he stood in Lu Shanchang's study like a ghost.

Lu Shanchang was lying on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Hearing this, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes flashed with a flash of light. He suddenly stood up and said, "What? Did you really go down the mountain?... How did this... do it?"

Hong Quan lowered his head and said, "Our people don't know the details, but one thing is certain, that is, Brother Zheng played a key role in it. Countless things can prove that Nie Yong obeyed Zheng Ge'er's advice, and even the whole matter of Liuhe was behind Zheng Ge'er's plan..."

"Huh..." Lu Shan let out a long sigh and said, "The things are getting more and more interesting now. We are keeping a close eye on them. Lu Zheng can grasp all kinds of things, but the Gu family may not understand the whole story.

Hehe, the Gu family is the most wealthy family in Jiangnan. How should they deal with the current situation in Liuhe this time? Once the Nanfu Army goes down the mountain, I guess Old Man Gu can't sit still!"

Hong Quandao: "At present, two battalions have arrived at the Dongmen Wharf. A temporary camp tent has been set up in that area. The fir bridge where the Dongmen Wharf is located has increased by 10,000 people. It is really lively. The prices of land and shops near the Fir Bridge have been pushed up again.

If all five camps went down the mountain, there would be more than 30,000 people. The fir bridge would definitely exceed the Qikong Bridge and become the most prosperous place in Liuhe!”

Hong Quan is in charge of the family and is a businessman at heart, so he pays more attention to businessman affairs. He controls the largest secret power of the Lu family. A large part of this secret power is now used to grasp Lu Zheng's whereabouts.

Therefore, Lu Zheng basically mastered everything he did in Liuhe. In his eyes, the most beautiful thing Lu Zheng did was to exchange the eighteen shops of the Fir Wood Bridge for the 18 shops of the Qikong Bridge. Starting from Lu Zheng's big purchase of land at the Dongmen Wharf, he took advantage of the fact that the fifth camp went down the mountain to force the land near the Dongmen Wharf. Those saline-alkali land that no one wanted to buy before became fragrant buns overnight.

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as Lu Zheng is willing, he can immediately make a fortune by selling a large area of ​​land near the Fir Bridge. In this process, Lu Zheng did not pay a slight cost, and he was just making a fortune.

"The second child gave birth to a good son. Hehe, if he could be as smart as a brother, why would the Lu family have reached this point today?" Lu Shanchang said.

Hong Quan said: "Old Master, in fact, Brother Zheng'er is deliberately alienated from the Lu family, it should have a profound meaning. In today's situation, the Jiangnan power clan has lost its power. If Brother Zheng returns to the Lu family, the identity of the Lu family will be his huge constraint.

Now it is said that he was not tolerated by his legitimate mother and was forced to leave the Lu family, which is a good thing for him. In addition, Nie Yong's identity is known to everyone in the world, and he is Dai Gao's mortal enemy.

Zheng Ge'er is Nie Yong's student, and he and Dai are born intolerable. If he came to Beijing with this identity, his background in the Jiangnan power clan would be even more diluted. With his talent, he will definitely succeed in the future..."

Lu Shanchang nodded gently and said, "As long as Lu Zheng succeeds, he will never be able to get rid of his identity as a Lu family. The Lu family is not afraid of him flying high. The higher he flys, the more beneficial it will be to the family. Is that true?"

"What the old man said is more straightforward and easy to understand than what the old slave said. But..."

Lu Shanchang frowned slightly and said, "But what? Just say anything, don't hesitate!"

Hong Quan lowered his head and said, "I see what the second master means. He still wants to call Brother Zheng back. Yesterday he sent Ximen Ye to Liuhe. I guess he was going to test Nie Yong's attitude. The old man..."

"Idiot!" Lu Shanchang said angrily, and he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground: "This idiot is damn! Do he think I don't understand what he thinks? He feels so embarrassed when he is in Tongzhengshi, thinking that he can make up for the actual shortcomings! He doesn't urinate and looks at himself, just his bowl of water is still shallow!"

Hong Quan took a step back and lowered his voice: "Grandmaster, it is not difficult for the second master to make up for the actual shortcomings. Why don't you let go?"

"What do you know? The situation in Jiangnan is very delicate now. Look at which family is missing. Who is really missing? Let me tell you this, the eyes of those censors are always staring at our families.

If you make up for the actual shortcomings and have to do something, you will inevitably be included in the censor’s books. Otherwise, if you are mediocre, what do you think of the Jiangnan powers in Jiangnan?

People are the slaughter and I am the fish. This is the situation in Jiangnan. Otherwise, why would the four great men of Jiangnan fall to this point?”

Lu Shanchang changed the subject and said, "You warn me not to act rashly, otherwise I will let him stay in Tongzhengshi and go home and think about my mistakes behind closed doors!"

"In addition, pay close attention to the movements of the Gu family, and the waves are coming. Let's watch the tiger fight across the river!"

...

Lu Shanchang watched the tiger fighting across the river, while the Gu family was really panicked.

After hearing about the Nanfu Army going down the mountain, Gu Tianyang urgently called Gu Shengjiang and Gu Shenghai over, and the father and son conspired overnight.

Gu Shengjiang was already panicked, and he said, "Father, this matter is not good. Nie Yong is going to ruin a big deal! I think we should find a way to move him. If he continues to stay in Liuhe, our power in Liuhe will be uprooted!"

Gu Shenghai smiled coldly and said, "Brother, Nie Yong is just a small character. It is very simple to move a small magistrate. The power of our Gu family in Jiangnan is very strong. But as long as Zhan Tianqi is still there and Nie Yong is gone, there will be Zhang Yong and Liu Yong. How many people can we change?"

"Second, what do you mean? Are you talking sarcastic? It turns out that you think you don't care about Liuhe's affairs, so do you think this matter has nothing to do with you?" Gu Shengjiang said erectly.

"Brother, don't say that. I'm here to help you today! He San, a slave, has been spoiled over the years and is so crazy in Liuhe. If he hadn't made trouble, Nie Yong would have done such a thing as cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot?

Nowadays, rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, not to mention that Nie Yong is still a county magistrate with a seventh-grade black hat on his head? He San, a slave, said nothing he always said.

OK, he won’t give Nie Yongsheng a way. Nie Yong now has a backhand blow and everyone has no way out!”

Gu Shenghai paused and said, "He San has no way to live, that's his own fault. There is no regret. But the Nanfu Army went down the mountain and once they occupied the East Gate Wharf, the entire river stretched for dozens of kilometers under their control. What should I do in the future of my Gu family's cargo for years?"

Gu Shengjiang said: "Fourth brother, don't be alarmist. You are the one who said he wouldn't give Nie Yong a way out. If you make trouble, you will blame the slave. Is this your way of being a master?

The Nanfu Army is the army of the court, and their supplies are in our hands. I don’t believe that they really dare to rob them. If they really want to tear their faces apart, it will be of no benefit to everyone if this matter goes to the capital."

Gu Shenghai said: "Brother, do they need to grab it? They just need to set up a few cards on the official road to make the goods passing through the East Gate Wharf pay more, and our River Valley Wharf will be abandoned.

All the goods left from Dongmen Wharf. As long as they manage Dongmen Wharf well, wouldn’t it be a waste of money for them to earn? The money has not been proven yet. Can we have a way to do this?"

Gu Shenghai said this, and Gu Shengjiang was speechless immediately.

The old man Gu Tianyang didn't say anything. The two brothers pinched each other and Gu Shenghai gained the upper hand. After deciding the outcome, they were silent and waiting for the old man to make the decision!

"Do you know something recently? Lu Qian of the Lu family has a son who made a big splash on the Qinhuai River a few days ago. The whole Jinling knows this son! The Lu family has Lin's son!" Gu Tianyang said.

"Uh..." Gu Shengjiang and Gu Shenghai looked at each other, wondering why the old man suddenly came up with this topic. Everyone was talking about Liuhe.

Gu Tianyang hummed and said, "I know your virtues, and my eyes only know how to focus on those sesame and mung beans, but I don't know the real important things at all."

"Father, I know that Lu Zheng is indeed a talented person, and this son is now in Liuhe. The magistrate of Liuhe County Nie Yong is his teacher.

It is said that this son is amazingly talented. He not only knows poetry and lyrics, but also has great knowledge of the world. Nie Yong's various methods in Liuhe may have a shadow of this son behind him!" Gu Shenghai said.

"No, I don't know how many abilities Lu Qian has? My father's ambition and talent are a half-bucket of water. What good son can he give birth to?

It is possible to say that this guy is a little anxious. It is purely nonsense to say that he can help Nie Yong out of advice. A young man with a stinky and stinky mouth can still have the ability to let the Nanfu army go down the mountain?" Gu Shengjiang said in an inverted voice, disagreed with Gu Shenghai's words.

Gu Tianyang sighed softly and said, "Boss, please put the matter in Liuhe first. Leave this matter to the fourth child for the time being. You have been turning back over the years. Is it because you have been too busy at home that you don't care about anything and are completely numb?"

Gu Shengjiang's face changed drastically, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, and said in great fear: "Father, child... the child is wrong!"

"Where are you wrong?"
