My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 193 Lu Junyi's Curse!

The mission returned to Tokyo by itself, and Wang Linhu Shenwei returned to Qingzhou.

Qingzhou at this moment is very different from when he left a few months ago. When Wang Lin entered the city, he found that there were many merchants coming and going, and many new shops opened in the city. He even saw a few blond and blue-eyed merchants from the Western Regions.

The original policy is starting to pay off.

Regarding Zhao Mingcheng, Wang Lin's suggestion to the imperial court was to remove the magistrate of Laizhou and relegate him to serve as the magistrate of Yidu County, which belongs to Qingzhou.

As for whether the court will adopt it, it is still unknown.

But as long as Wang Lin didn't kill him, Zhao Mingcheng's life would be saved.

Zhao Mingcheng, who resigned and returned to Qingzhou, almost became the laughing stock of the entire Qingzhou people.

The ashamed Zhao Mingcheng had no face to face the crowd, and went back to Zhao's manor with his concubine Jia Shi in Laizhouna.

Accompanying him was Jia's father, Jia Lai.

This person is a merchant from Laizhou, with a rich family, and betrothed his daughter to Zhao Mingcheng, the magistrate of Laizhou, in order to cling to him.

As a result, Zhao Mingcheng abandoned the city and fled this time, not only became a laughing stock, but was also deprived of his official position, and almost lost his life. The Jia father and daughter had other thoughts.

It is the nature of merchants to seek profit, and it is actually normal.

Qingzhou is prosperous, Jia's father and daughter are planning to transfer their family business to Qingzhou, and the Zhao family is an excellent place to settle down.

Although Zhao Mingcheng's family was in decline, as a family of famous scholars and eunuchs in the Song Dynasty, the Zhao family still had some family fortune in Qingzhou.There is at least one house in the city, and a manor outside the city with more than a hundred acres of land.

But if he wants to occupy the Zhao family's business, Li Qingzhao, the original partner, will become a huge obstacle.

The gate of Zhao's Manor.

Even though he knew that Zhao Mingcheng had done some disgraceful things, Li Qingzhao took the initiative to wait at the door with his maid.

In any case, it was her husband after all.

Even if the whole Qingzhou couldn't tolerate him, she couldn't just ignore him.

However, Li Qingzhao didn't expect Zhao Mingcheng to bring Jia's father and daughter here, and the father and daughter were in a wrong position at first sight, as if they were occupying the dove's nest.

As soon as he entered the door, he urged Zhao Mingcheng to drive Li Qingzhao to live in a house in the city.

Zhao Mingcheng was disturbed, he was thinking that he must be in a state of failure this time, and there is no possibility of a comeback in his official career, and if the Zhao family wants to maintain a decent life, they can only count on the subsidies from Jia's natal family.

What's more, he and Li Qingzhao have been married for so many years, Li Qingzhao has nothing to do, but it is Jia who is pregnant with Liujia recently.

evening.

Zhao Mingcheng lingered outside Li Qingzhao's room for a long time. In fact, he was a little ashamed to see her, but Jia Shi kept making noise in the room, so he had no choice but to come.

Li Qingzhao pushed the door open and let Zhao Mingcheng in: "Is there something you want to talk to Qingzhao about?"

All the previous things, plus the current situation, the actual love between the two has faded to the extreme, almost to the indifference of passers-by.

But Li Qingzhao still didn't expect Zhao Mingcheng to say the following words.

"Miss, I'm ashamed to see people now, but you usually have a lot of visitors, why don't you live in the city, I live in a manor outside the city, we have nothing to do with each other, how about it?"

Li Qingzhao was stunned, and his face immediately became angry: "Master, do you know that my husband and I have gone to strangers as soon as you said this? You just came back, and I went to live in the city. What do outsiders say?"

"It was Jia who forced you to speak. What if I don't move?" Li Qingzhao said coldly.

Zhao Mingcheng was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, "My lady, don't force me."

"I forced you?" Li Qingzhao laughed back angrily, "Msanggong is talking about it, how can I force you?"

"If you insist on fighting against me, then you and I will only be separated from each other, and we will live in resentment!" Zhao Mingcheng gritted his teeth and said coldly.

"You have nothing to do. The Jia family has a son. Now that I have nowhere to go, I have to rely on Jia's natal family to live. What do you want me to do?"

Li Qingzhao's complexion changed suddenly.

Zhao Mingcheng wanted to make peace with her.

Li Qingzhao was disheartened, and his body trembled suddenly.

She turned around slowly: "Zhao Mingcheng, I didn't expect that you and I have been in love for many years. Since you are not as good as a merchant's daughter and a concubine who was taken halfway, since you are so heartless, why should I be obsessed with you? Write the He Li book today, you and I will part ways, and each will settle down to his own destiny."

……

Hebei Daming Mansion.

In order to guard against Khitan, Zhong Shi Zhong moved his Gyeonggi system and envoys to Dingzhou. This kind of thinking is correct.

The Daming Mansion is located at the junction of Henan, Shandong and Hebei, and its strategic location is also very important.The post of Daming Prefect has been vacant since Liang Shijie's rebellion. Recently, the imperial court appointed a fifth-rank magistrate, which actually downgraded Daming Mansion.

It is only equivalent to an important military state.

Although it is still called the government.

The newly appointed daimyo prefect Qiu Renjie has quite a background. He is the father of the third son of the current official family and the side concubine of King Yun Zhao Kai, Qiu Shi. He can barely be regarded as a relative of the emperor.

Qiu Renjie was born as a Jinshi, originally he was working in Beijing as an idler, and Zhao Kai managed secretly to help him get such a fat job.

On the way to Daming Mansion, Lin Chong met Qiu Renjie who was rushing to Daming Mansion to take up his post. At that time, Qiu Renjie was being robbed by a group of bandits.

Lin Chong came to the rescue. Seeing Lin Chong's good skills, Qiu Renjie took Lin Chong under his command as a deputy at the moment when he was employing someone.

After Qiu Renjie took office, according to the rules in the officialdom, local merchants came to visit and give gifts. As a result, a large circle of people came. After a few days, Qiu Renjie calculated that everyone who should come came, and there was only one not coming.

Lu Junyi, a well-known rich man in Hebei Daming Mansion, and Lu Yuanwai.

If Lu Junyi didn't come, it was almost a blow to Qiu Renjie.

Since Liang Shijie's rebellion, Lu Junyi really hated the people in the government, he simply cut himself off, practiced martial arts at home all day long, and no longer associated with any officials.

Although Qiu Renjie was ashamed and angry, but Lu Junyi had strong financial resources and ruled Hebei, so he did not dare to act rashly.

However, no matter how awesome Lu Junyi was, he was just a local tyrant, a merchant. The so-called people don't fight with officials and offended his parents and officials. Lu Junyi had already planted the disaster at this time.

In fact, it deserves something. At first, Lu Junyi wanted to send someone to send 500 taels of silver to the new magistrate to congratulate him, but he completely forgot about the family affairs that day.

It wasn't until Qiu Renjie sent Lin Chong to take the initiative to visit the door and invite him to the city to talk, that he realized that he had accidentally offended the master of the house.

But in fact, Lu Junyi also felt that it didn't matter.

He consciously doesn't care about worldly affairs, has nothing to do with the world, and the Lu family's business has also shrunk in the past two years, so it doesn't matter whether he has dealings with the government or not.

People in the Daming Mansion didn't know about Lin Chong, but Lu Junyi knew it. Hearing that Lin Chong had parted ways with Liang Shan and became a dog under Qiu Renjie's family, Lu Junyi felt a little disdainful.

"Under Lin Chong, Mr. Qiu's deputy army, came to Lu Yuan Wai Village today to send greetings to my lord, and invite Yuan Wai to the city for a drink." Lin Chong cupped his hands.

Lu Junyi let out a groan, and casually cupped his hands and said, "Who am I? It turned out to be Chief Lin of Liangshan. Why do you still seek refuge in the government now?"

Lin Chong's face turned red, knowing that Lu Junyi deliberately humiliated him, but he suppressed his anger and said, "I have another encounter, we will discuss everything later. I also ask the staff to accept the message from adults, so that I can go back and report to you."

Lu Junyi said again: "Leader Lin, please go ahead, please tell the lord of the government that Lu will definitely come to the appointment on time."

Lu Junyi really looked down on Lin Chong as a well-known hero, but he took refuge in a bureaucrat as a secondary army, and acted as a dog's leg to a corrupt official who was raking money everywhere when he first took office, so his attitude became even colder, and he turned around and left.

Lin Chong was angry like a bullfighting bull, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and then left.

For Lin Chong, although the deputy army is humble, he is an officer after all. With this identity, he can start all over again.

In fact, he was just a low-level coach in the Tokyo Imperial Army back then. In terms of rank, he might not be as good as this second-ranked soldier.

Lin Chong went back to report that Lu Junyi would come to the appointment on time, Qiu Renjie sneered in his heart, but he wanted to see how awesome this rich native of the Daming Mansion was.

According to Qiu Renjie's mind, he took the initiative to send someone to the door, which was considered a great face for Lu Junyi.And if this person is acquainted, he should give a generous gift in return when he visits the door. This is the basic etiquette.

However, Lu Junyi only brought four snacks, fruits and vegetables.

I didn't give the 500 taels of silver that I wanted to give.

This was mainly because Lu Junyi got the news when he entered the city that the magistrate surnamed Qiu had only been here for a few days, and he received tens of thousands of dollars in money by inviting local merchants and gentry to drink and eat.

It turned out to be a big corrupt official who was even uglier than Liang Shijie back then. Lu Junyi despised him so much that he deliberately didn't bring any gifts.

Lu Junyi went to Qiu's mansion to have a free meal and left.

Qiu Renjie was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

Standing outside Qiu Renjie's study, Lin Chong heard Qiu Renjie scolding Lu Junyi furiously, claiming to kill Lu Junyi quickly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Qiu Renjie is certainly not a good bird, but what is Lu Junyi?

In fact, this official of the Great Song Dynasty was the same in Lin Chong's eyes. He stooped to the Qiu family because he was interested in the backstage of Qiu's father-in-law, Yun Wang, and was planning to find a better way out from the Qiu family.

Working for a corrupt official is out of the question, but Lu Junyi, who took the opportunity to retaliate and humiliate him, has no psychological barriers.

His heart is not broad.

He's still quite vengeful.

"Lin Chong, come here!"

Hearing Qiu Renjie's call, Lin Chong collected himself and walked into Qiu Renjie's study.

"I've seen Mr. Fu Zun!" Lin Chong said with a bow.

"Lin Chong, how does the government treat you?" Qiu Renjie said coldly.

"Master Fu respects Lin Chong as much as a mountain."

"Since this is the case, you should find a way to seal up a few of Lu's stores in Damingfu City. Don't ask why, just use my post and token to do it, the sooner the better!"

"No." Lin Chong stepped forward, seemingly respectfully took Qiu Renjie's token, turned around and went to work.

In fact, at this moment, he hesitated slightly in his heart.

He knew that if he took this step, he would be no different from Lu Qian who killed him in Tokyo back then.

But remembering that he was desperate and counting on Qiu Renjie's background, and remembering Lu Junyi's humiliation to him today, he gritted his teeth and strode out of Qiu's mansion.
