Chapter 103 Getting involved again
Everything is in Fangcunwu, so there is no need to go back to the inn to get it, but it's a waste of a day's room fee.
When he arrived at the Lu Mansion, the servant guarding the door hurriedly came up to him: "Second Young Master, you are back. The master asked you to go to the study to find him after you come back."
Lu Kun nodded: "Go and clean up the unused wing next to me. My friend will stay here for a few days."
"Yes." The servant responded and hurried to do it.
After the servant left, Lu Kun asked: "Brother Huang, come with me to see my father?"
"Of course." Coming to the Lu Mansion to bother, it is inevitable to meet Lu Kun's parents, morning and night.
The lights in the study were on. The steward was waiting outside. Seeing someone following Lu Kun, he asked, "Second Young Master, who is this?"
Lu Kun introduced, "Huang Feng, he is the one who helped me catch the frame-up villain today. Brother Huang is a friend of Princess Changning and will stay at the mansion for a while."
"The one who went with the princess in Cangzhou?" The steward hurriedly said to Huang Feng, "Thank you for your help, I will tell the master now, wait a moment."
The steward came out not long after entering the room and said, "Please come in, young master."
Huang Feng and Lu Kun went in and saw a middle-aged man with a straight figure, slightly thin, and bright eyes standing behind the desk in the study. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he was in a high position for a long time and had a strong momentum.
Huang Feng was not rude and said respectfully: "Junior Huang Feng, meet Lord Lu."
Lu Shouyan was kind: "No need to be polite, I also want to thank you for helping Qianzhi. You are going to live in Lu's house for a few days, so it's too strange to call me 'Lord' every time you see me."
"Then I will call you Uncle Lu." Huang Feng said with a smile.
That's what he said, but he also knew in his heart that if he just helped Lu Kun, Lu Shouyan wouldn't have to be so polite, and he might still have some doubts. The key is that he knows Li Motang.
"This is the best." Lu Shouyan nodded, "At the beginning, I gave Lu Kun the name 'Qianzhi' because I hoped he could know the future. Who would have thought that this kid is still confused and almost got into trouble."
Lu Kun smiled bitterly: "Dad, don't say it so seriously in front of my friends?"
"I'm talking about light things." Lu Shouyan snorted coldly, facing Huang Feng, he was friendly again, "I'll have someone take you to the wing room to rest."
"What about me?" Lu Kun asked beside him.
Lu Shouyan said in a deep voice: "You? Stand still, I haven't finished scolding you yet."
Huang Feng knew that he might have to scold him, but most of the time the father and son had something to say: "Thank you, Uncle Lu, then I will take my leave first."
"Go." Lu Shouyan called the steward in and asked him to take Huang Feng to the wing room.
As a result, before Huang Feng stepped out of the study, someone in the mansion shouted and ran over here: "Dad, is the second brother back? Something happened, the Minister of War..."
He ran closer and found that there was an outsider, so he quickly shut up.
From the address, I knew that he was the third son of the Lu family, Lu Kun's younger brother.
Looking at his youthful appearance, he should be 28 years old, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and full of energy.
Huang Feng looked at his cultivation and thought that he had probably entered the state of transformation for some time. Although he was not as talented as Li Motang and Guan Taixu, he was also very talented.
"There is someone." Lu Yao scratched his head and began to play dumb.
Lu Shouyan shook his head helplessly. Among his three sons, only the eldest son was upright and rigorous in his work. He was like him in his official duties. The other two sons took their wives' personalities, not his!
"You are yelling like this. It is probably no secret. Huang Feng helped your second brother today. He is not an outsider in the Lu Mansion. I will let your second brother introduce him later. Let's talk about what happened first."
Lu Yao glanced at Huang Feng and said quickly: "Oh, Feng Ye, the son of Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is dead!"
"How did he die?" Lu Shouyan asked in a deep voice.
Lu Yao said: "It seems that he fell from a high place and died while sucking the seeds of the schisandra in Manxianglou."
Huang Feng suddenly said beside him: "What a coincidence?"
"Coincidence? What do you mean?" Lu Yao was puzzled.
Lu Kun thought about it and suddenly took a breath: "Hiss... It can't be a chain plot, if Feng Ye died because of taking the seeds of the millet flower, and I was caught carrying the seeds of the millet flower and reported it to His Majesty at the same time, His Majesty would be furious, and the small punishment would become a big punishment. Our family might lose more than just the official hat, but also the head."
"So vicious?" Lu Yao was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, he was a little puzzled, "If it is really a chain plot, your link is broken, and the subsequent plans should be stopped."
Lu Kun shook his head: "Not necessarily, Lord Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is on Dad's side. Although the chain plot failed and we were not dealt with together, it would be considered a success if Lord Feng could be removed first.
This is not only a challenge and warning to our family, but also directly makes Dad lose a helper in the court, no... more than one, and other people who are close to Dad will probably have to wait and see."
Huang Feng just said "coincidentally" and didn't speak again.
Lu Shouyan saw this and interrupted his two sons' discussion: "Okay, stop guessing. Feng Ye's death is not a trivial matter. Not only the Ministry of Justice, but also the Dali Temple will intervene in the investigation. Everything depends on the evidence."
At this time, someone came to report to Lu Shouyan, and it was about Feng Ye.
Feng Jie, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and people from the Ministry of Justice have arrived at Manxianglou and are investigating.
"Dad, do you want to go and take a look?" Lu Yao said beside him, "I don't think those people in the Ministry of Justice can be trusted."
"Let's go and have a look." Lu Shouyan was still hesitant at first. As the minister of Dali Temple, he couldn't act rashly, but since Feng Jie was gone, he could naturally go over to see his old friend, comfort him, and then ask questions later. case.
When Huang Feng heard what they said, he was about to run away: "Then I will..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Kun grabbed his arm directly: "Brother Huang, come with us."
After saying this, he did not forget to introduce him to Lu Shouyan: "Dad, Brother Huang is in Cangzhou..."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted directly by Lu Shouyan: "I know better than you, but he is not a member of the public family..."
Lu Kun jumped in and said, "Neither am I!"
"you shut up!"
"Well……"
Huang Feng found that the father and son were competing for words, and Lu Yao and the manager had no reaction. They seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and he couldn't help but find it interesting.
"Huang Feng is not a member of the public family. You can go with him, but don't speak easily. After all, this is the capital, not Cangzhou."
Huang Feng could tell that Lu Shouyan's words were well-intentioned. He warned him that the forces in the capital were complex and there was no benefit in wading into muddy waters. He was also reminding him that if he discovered anything, he could tell him in private.
But he didn't want to go at all!
But it would be rude to refuse at this time, so I can only go with them.
Sitting on the carriage, Huang Feng felt regretful. He had agreed to come and stay for a few days, and Lu Kun would act as his tour guide. He was enjoying his time in the capital, but he didn't expect that he would get involved in trouble.
What is the difference between this and him contacting Li Motang directly? Depressing!
The carriage stopped after a short while, and the coachman reported outside: "Sir, we have arrived at Manxiang Tower."
