Chapter 100: Fellow People

Afraid that the people in front of him would not believe it, the young master snorted coldly: "My name is Lu Kun. Seeing that you have lived in the capital for a long time, even if you have never heard of my name, you should have heard of my father's name, Lu Shouyan."

This guy with a sinister look and a sly look on his face seemed to be just an ordinary rogue, but he didn't really seem to understand the situation. It was only when he heard his name that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Lu Shouyan was the minister of Dali Temple at that time, and Lu Kun, as the second son of the Lu family, was not as good as Wuguan in the scientific examination and ranked second in high school, but he never entered the court as an official.

Lu Kun said that he would throw him into Dali Temple. He was not just talking about it, he could really do it.

Thinking of this, the scoundrel in front of him was so frightened that his legs went weak. He bent his knees and was about to kneel down.

Huang Feng grabbed his shoulders and lifted him up, preventing him from kneeling down: "Weren't you tough just now?"

The scoundrel was so anxious that he tried to kneel down, but as an ordinary man, he couldn't compete with Huang Feng. His shoulders were pinched so hard that he almost cried.

"Are you afraid now?" Huang Feng asked.

"Afraid...scared."

"Really want to kneel down?"

"Think, think!" The scoundrel nodded hurriedly.

Huang Feng chuckled: "I don't!"

Lu Kun, the coachman and the curious onlookers nearby were all speechless for a moment.

The scoundrel quickly begged for mercy: "Young master, you are so noble, I have..."

Huang Feng said for him: "I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. Who will take care of them without you?"

"..." The scoundrel broke his guard in an instant and really cried. He explained everything in one go, "Sir, please forgive me. I really don't know. Someone found me yesterday and gave me fifty taels of silver. Let me have it today." Wait here and put the oil paper bag under the carriage with blue curtain.

This person reminded me that if the matter is done well, I can accept the fifty taels of silver with peace of mind. Don't ask unnecessary questions, and don't look at the contents of the oil paper bag, otherwise I will be killed. "

Huang Feng cried anxiously when he saw this man, and let go of his hand: "Okay, kneel down, kneel down."

The man immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I just use money to do things. I really don't know who is on the carriage, what is in the oil paper bag, and what the other party's intentions are."

"What does the person looking for you look like?" Lu Kun asked.

"About the same height as me, small eyes, big nose, thin lips."

Lu Kun shook his head. It would be difficult to catch someone in Zhaoyang based on just these characteristics.

At this time, the officers and soldiers in the city had arrived. Lu Kun showed his waist card and asked the officers and soldiers to take away the scoundrel and the oil paper bag and keep them under good watch. Then he thanked Huang Feng: "Thank you, Master, for your generous action and saving me a big trouble. I don’t know how to call the young master?”

"Huang Feng."

Seeing that the people around him had not dispersed, Lu Kun said, "Brother Huang, there are people coming and going here. This is not a place for talking."

Huang Feng was the first to say, "Yeah, it's not good to block everyone. I think Tingshui Tower is good and suitable for talking."

The introduction of Tingshuilou in "Jade Food Book" took up a whole page. Huang Feng was not impressed by the others, but he remembered that it was expensive. He originally wanted to trick Li Motang in the future, but unexpectedly, a victim appeared in front of him.

Lu Kun was stunned for a moment, as if he had never met anyone like Huang Feng before, then he laughed and said, "Okay, in order to repay Brother Huang, I will go to the Tongshui Tower! Brother Huang, will you get in the car with me?"

Hearing this, the coachman on the side reminded him in a low voice: "Sir..."

"Shut up and drive!" Lu Kun interrupted him.

"Let's go." Huang Feng followed Lu Kun and boarded the carriage. After entering the carriage, he smiled, "The coachman probably wanted to remind you that my origin is unknown and you should not be credulous.

I'm also curious, aren't you afraid that it was just a show to make it easier for me to get close to you? "

Lu Kun said with a smile: "Making friends with people often depends on their eyes. Some people feel that they are not compatible with them at a glance. Some people feel that they are friends at a glance. I think Brother Huang is the latter. I believe in my own vision." .

Of course, I haven't thought about what Brother Huang said, but I noticed that when I opened the oil paper bag, Brother Huang didn't recognize the contents inside. From this, we can judge that Brother Huang has nothing to do with this matter. "

Huang Feng nodded: "So that's it. What are those things? They look like medicinal materials to me."

Lu Kun said solemnly: "Mihua seeds have been discovered in recent years. After taking them, people will be delirious, dreamlike, and forget their worries. At first, many people called it jelly.

But as time went by, I realized that this was a poisonous weed. If I took it in large amounts, I would soon be unable to live without it. Over time, my body would become haggard, my spirit would be listless, and I would become useless.

I just didn't expect that even though they knew it was a poisonous weed, there were still people selling it and buying it. Fortunately, the seeds were scarce and ordinary people couldn't afford them, so not many people were affected.

However, because there were not many people affected, this matter had not been taken seriously by the court before. "

Huang Feng sighed: "It's not just for this reason."

Lu Kun looked at him and nodded: "It seems that Brother Huang is a sensible person. Yes, ordinary people cannot afford it, so this thing is mostly spread among the princes and nobles in the inner city.

Some people think that taking a small amount will be fine, while others may have more interests involved in this matter.

My father has made several petitions in the hope that His Majesty will issue an edict to ban this item. Now that the edict has been issued, millet flower seeds are banned in the capital. Anyone who enters the inner city must be strictly inspected for this item. "

Huang Feng suddenly realized: "Your father's move has offended many people. Some people want to take this opportunity to make trouble. Mr. Lu has repeatedly petitioned Mr. Lu to ban the removal of millet seeds. His son actually wants to sneak millet seeds into the inner city. Once he is caught, he will The current situation is not only ugly on the face, but also the black yarn may not be saved.”

"Exactly, so I want to thank Brother Huang for saving my family a lot of trouble, otherwise I wouldn't invite Brother Huang to have dinner at Zhishui Tower. It's too expensive there!" After Lu Kun joked, he said seriously, "That's right. I wasn't careful enough and I didn't take precautions. I should remind my father to be more careful when I go back later."

"Do you have any idea who it is?"

Lu Kun shook his head: "No, there are many informants in the city. It is not difficult for interested people to know when I will leave the city and enter the city. But it is only this time. If you want to plot against me next time, it will not be so easy."

Tingshui Tower is in the inner city, and the interrogation of people entering the inner city is indeed much stricter.

When they arrived at Tingshui Tower, Lu Kun asked the coachman to go home and report the matter, then went to the Yamen to pick up the person, and brought the scoundrel and the evidence back to Dali Temple, and then entered the building with Huang Feng.

Tingshui Building has an elegant and comfortable environment. Before the waiter arrived, Huang Feng checked with Lu Kun and said, "Can I order whatever I want?"

"Can."

"Make sure you have enough money, I don't have any money!" Huang Feng emphasized to avoid being cheated.

Lu Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Huang, don't worry, I'm pretty respectable in the capital. The Tengshui Tower is a bit more expensive, but I can still afford it."

"That's okay." Huang Feng nodded with satisfaction. When the waiter arrived, he ordered several signature dishes recommended in the "Jade Cuisine Book".

Lu Kun understood clearly and waited for the waiter to leave before asking: "It seems that Brother Huang is not from Zhaoyang. He just entered Beijing not long ago?"

Huang Feng smiled and said, "Has it been seen?"

"I've also read "Jade Food Book", it's very good."

"Then... have you seen that?" Huang Feng asked curiously.

Lu Kun was confused for a moment, but from the change in this guy's expression, Huang Feng was sure that this guy had definitely seen it before and was a member of the same group.

"Well..." Lu Kun responded vaguely, raised his glass and said, "Brother Huang, drink, drink!"
