When the King of Qin went to Jiangnan, Lu Zheng was shocked and realized the crisis based on his intuition.

Jiangnan is completely different from a few months ago. The resources in Lu Zheng's hand are incomparable to the past. Because of this, he is very alert to the sudden arrival of the King of Qin.

Because for Lu Zheng, everything is hard-won now, especially now that the provincial examination has just ended, Lu Zheng does not want Jiangnan to be chaotic due to the intervention of foreign forces.

"Let's check it out immediately and see what the movements of the various yamen and families in Jinling have recently. Don't let go of any clues, especially the recent memoirs that have been to the capital. The Tongzhengsi should have archives, so you must take a closer look!" Lu Zheng told the boy.

Lu Zheng took over the secret forces of the Lu family and secretly captured the Gu family Wang Kai and his son. Jinling had almost no secrets to him. The boy was strong and powerful. As a professional, he had already begun to consider the layout of the capital.

The boy took the order, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he said: "Zhongfuming followed the King of Qin this time. This man was extremely cunning and cunning. He seemed to have lost his last trip to Jiangnan, but in fact he gained great benefits. The King of Qin trusted him more!"

The boy paused and said, "The King of Qin failed to plan Jiangnan. In the eyes of the emperor, Jiangnan was a piece of iron plate, and he could not penetrate the needle or splash water. It is said that the emperor's impression of Jiangnan was even worse.

The Qin Palace was particularly favored by the emperor. Last year, the King of Qin was appointed Prince of Five Pearls. Li Qianqian suffered a grievance in Jiangnan. After returning to the capital, she turned into a courtesan named Qinhuai River in Jiangnan and Fan Duoduo. She became popular in the fireworks place in the capital. This year she became the first courtesan in the capital!”

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "There is such a thing? Zhongfuming is so scheming that he is unpredictable, and he is amazing!"

Lu Zheng's thoughts changed. When he thought of Li Qianqian's situation, he couldn't help but think of the stars in later generations. In a certain era, Chinese stars could not survive abroad, and returned to China and became international movie stars, with their value doubled.

The same is true for Li Qianqian. He was just an ordinary woman in the capital, but he came to Jiangnan to compete for a courtesan. After returning to the capital, he immediately gained a different value. He became a top courtesan who was comparable to Fan Duoduo, and received great popularity in the capital.

Looking at the matter of the King of Qin, his layout in Jiangnan failed. At first glance, he returned home in a defeat, but in fact he was deeply loved by the emperor and the court. If the King of Qin is smooth sailing and his power is increasing day by day, the emperor must be careful.

From this perspective, the King of Qin is worse than defeat. Those who are good at winning are more powerful, while those who are good at defeat are even more powerful. Zhongfuming seemed vulnerable and was at a disadvantage everywhere. However, in just a few months, he transformed from a relatively distant disciple under the King of Qin to a personal counselor who is highly valued by the King of Qin. His methods and scheming are really unreasonable.

When the carriage arrived in Jiangning, the boy did not follow the people in after getting off the car, but disappeared into the darkness. Lu Zheng's power has expanded greatly in the past few months. The boy was so busy that he was not touching the ground, but he was even more motivated. After receiving the news that the King of Qin went to Jiangnan, he became excited.

Lu Zheng watched the boy's thin figure disappear, and suddenly thought of Master Yan in his mind, and even more thought of Liu Wan, that gentle woman, who was considerate and gentle everywhere, and I don't know how she was doing?

Ying'er got off Qi Qiuyue's carriage and walked to Lu Zheng's side. When she saw Lu Zheng's expression was a little wrong, she came over and said softly: "Young master, Butler Hong has picked it up at the door in person!"

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Ying'er in his arms.

"Ah..." Ying'er was startled by Lu Zheng's sudden movements. She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she couldn't exert her strength. She smelled the familiar smell on Lu Zheng's body and was limp all over.

"Young Master, you..."

Lu Zheng hugged her, then let go, and smiled and said, "Ying'er, you're so beautiful today!"

Ying'er's face was flushed, and endless excitement appeared between her eyebrows. Lu Zheng praised her for her beauty, and she felt so happy! She had long regarded herself as Lu Zheng's person, but on this occasion, she was in broad daylight and bright, and her intimacy made her very shy, but her inner excitement was hard to contain.

Qi Qiuyue saw this scene from afar and was so happy that she was so happy that Lu Zheng had a great prospect now that she became famous. Her status in the Lu family has also increased. She can almost go along with Mrs. Zhang in the second house.

She doesn’t have to worry about food, wear, and spends money. All she has left for the rest of her life is to enjoy her happiness. But Qi Qiuyue still has one thought, that is, she wants to hold her grandson!

She couldn't interfere in Lu Zheng's marriage. Not to mention him, even Lu Qian might not be able to make the decision. However, Lu Zheng had not had a big wedding, so he could take a few concubines first. Ying'er, a rich girl, was born in a wealthy family, not only had a beautiful life, but also knew etiquette and generality. Qi Qiuyue liked it from the bottom of her heart.

Now that Lu Zheng finally got to know her. How could Qi Qiuyue be unhappy when she saw that the two of them were so close?

The family entered through the Lu family's gate, and the butler Hong Shen came to greet him respectfully. Hong Quan, the butler at home, was gone, and Hong Shen could not bear it yet. He is still serving the second house!

"Young Master Zheng, the second master has been waiting for you in the study room! There are still some scenes at the banquet, why don't we go to the second master first?" Hong Shen said with great concern.

When Lu Zheng was in Yangzhou, Hong Shen went to Yangzhou to pick up people. His domineering and arrogant attitude at that time was like yesterday. Hong Shen is cautious now, so how could he have the same spirit as before?

Of course, Lu Zheng, who is in Yangzhou, is in a difficult situation and is in danger. How can he compare with the present? Now Lu Zheng has more resources than the Lu family. The annual profit of Liuhe's business is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. He needs money, force, and status. Hong Shen will always have the qualifications to be a slave in front of him.

I was reluctant to see Lu Qian and Lu Zheng, but after all, it was a father-son relationship. The scientific examination had just ended, and his father wanted to summon him, but he had no reason to refuse.

Immediately Lu Zheng followed Hong Shen and headed straight to Lu Qian's study. Lu Qian stood in the grille window of the study. Behind him was Ximen Ye. The two of them looked ahead side by side, and suddenly Ximen Ye said:

"Here, come! Mr. Zheng is finally here, Master..."

Ximen Ye was very excited, and he was only dancing, but when he looked up at Lu Qian's gloomy face, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly suppressed the excitement on his face, but he shook his head in his heart: "The second master is just pedantic and wants to save face. The current situation is clearly that he asked Lu Zheng, but he just couldn't bear to show off his father's majesty. Why is that hard?

What's wrong with being kind and a son filial? If you have to have a stern face and raise your head, wouldn't you suffer if you want to live a life of face?"

Lu Qian returned to the seat in the study room with a serious expression. Lu Zheng followed Hong Shen in, walked slowly to Lu Qian, knelt down and saluted, and said, "I wish my father a goodbye!"

"Get up! The other brothers are back. You are back the latest. Jiangning is your home. Even if you go to the capital in the future, this will not be changed at all. Do you know?" Lu Qian said.

Lu Zheng lowered his head and said nothing. He said that he didn't say anything but speculation. Lu Zheng didn't have much feelings for this cheap father, nor did he have a good impression of him. In his opinion, Lu Qian was a typical representative of feudal stubbornness, and he had to act in every way and behaved with etiquette rules.

He didn't care about the family affairs at all. The house was messy and the children were messy. Mrs. Zhang made the house messy and he didn't ask, and he kept thinking about how to put his own skills in the imperial family all day long.

But his abilities are really ordinary. The so-called ambition and talent refer to people like Lu Qian. He listened to his words and said, as if he had a thousand words. When he was really doing things, he actually had no plan in his mind.

Lu Zheng stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Lu Qian frowned and felt angry again. When Ximen Ye saw that the formation was not right, he hurriedly said:

"Young Master Zheng, this provincial examination is definitely not a problem. If you can get Jie Yuan, you will have to pass the throne in Jinling! Jiangnan, you are the leader, the master is so happy!"

Lu Zheng glanced at Ximen Ye and said lightly: "Mr. Ximen is over the award!"

Lu Qian said next to him: "The scientific expedition has just ended, and the outcome is not yet determined. It's not good to say it too much now. You have been a little low-key recently, so it's best not to go out..."

"In addition, although I have taken the provincial examination, I cannot relax my studies. There are still general examinations in the palace examination. The so-called mountain is higher than that of a mountain, and there are more powerful players in the strong. Don't be proud and complacent!"

Lu Zheng stopped talking again, lowered his head and remained silent. Lu Qian snorted coldly, as if he could not bear it anymore. Ximen Ye said, "Okay, Mr. Zheng has worked hard in the exam. Master Zheng has asked you to make old soup. Come on, someone, give me soup to Mr. Zheng!"

The maid brought the steaming old fire soup. Lu Zheng took a sip while it was hot. He felt it was good. He pondered for a moment and said, "Jiangnan is already very variable at the moment. I just got the news today that His Highness Qin King went to Jiangnan in person. I'm afraid that Jiangnan will be in peace again next!"

"Ah..." Lu Qian and Ximen Ye exclaimed at the same time, looking at each other. They didn't know the news. Lu Zheng was obviously more informed than them!

At present, Nie Yong has basically confirmed that he is going back to Beijing. The prince gave him a mission to the Censorate to serve as the censor. After Nie Yong broke up with Dai Xiang, he returned to the capital after five years, which is a comeback.

Originally, Lu Zheng thought that since Nie Yong had been working below for so many years, he might as well go from bottom to solidify the foundation. However, Nie Yong's consciousness was very firm, so Lu Zheng couldn't persuade him anymore?
