Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

She had always asked Lu Tong to keep an eye on the Lin family, but she didn't expect that Emperor Qian would start to make trouble as soon as her eldest brother left.

"How is Lin Tao now?"

"A large number of soldiers surrounded the Lin family, raided the Lin residence, and drove the Lin father and son out of the capital, forbidding them to set foot in the capital again."

Although Lu Zhanxing knew this result would happen, he still felt heartbroken.

Emperor Qian hates the Duke of Anguo's Mansion to such an extent that he even cares about his own friends. So don't blame the Lu family for being cruel.

She said to Mu Qingli, "Mr. Mu, please help look after the Anguo Mansion. I'm going to meet my friends."

After saying that, he took Bai Jing and rode out of the city on horseback.

Sure enough, I saw two distraught fat father and son and a woman being pushed out of the city.

"Lin Tao!"

Seeing his good friend, Lin Tao's eyes turned red: "Master Lu!"

Thanks to Mr. Lu's reminder, they secretly transferred most of their property, otherwise they would have been left with nothing.

When Father Lin saw Lu Zhanxing coming, he was grateful. If it weren't for his reminder, he really didn't know what to do.

Lu Zhanxing took the package from Bai Jing and handed it to Lin Tao, whispering: "Here are 1,000 taels of silver notes and some clothes to change. You should go to Yanzhou to develop."

The father and son of the Lin family looked at each other and immediately understood what Lu Zhanxing meant, and asked them to go and join Prince Lu.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Father Lin expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Second Master Lu!"

“Lin Tao!!”

Suddenly, two more people came riding horses. They were Sun Qiming.

"Brother Lu, you actually arrived earlier than me." Sun Qiming was surprised but not surprised. After all, they had a good relationship.

Sun Qiming got off the carriage and handed the package to Lin Tao: "This is a little gift from me. Uncle Lin is a business talent and will definitely make a comeback in other places."

After a while, Yu Wei also came to see him off and brought a package.

Seeing several friends coming to see him off, Lin Tao, holding a pile of packages, felt the warmth in his heart well up in his eyes, and his voice choked with sobs: "You..."

How come they are so nice!

Lin's father and mother were also touched and lamented that their son's friends were all true friends.

Lu Zhanxing looked at Lin's father, who was twice as fat as Lin Tao, and said solemnly: "Uncle Lin, one day, you will return to the capital!"

Father Lin narrowed his shrewd eyes. He was expelled from the capital by royal order. With what identity could he return to the capital?

Suddenly, he widened his eyes and looked at Lu Zhanxing intently, wanting to see if she meant what he thought.

Seeing the shocked look on Father Lin's face, Lu Zhanxing knew that he had guessed it, and nodded with a smile: "If Uncle Lin doesn't want to go to Yanzhou, he can go somewhere else. I believe that Uncle Lin has such a talent for business, so he will not have a bad life."

She also understood why Father Lin did not go to join his brother. After all, the Lu family did not necessarily want the Lin family to join.

After getting the answer, Father Lin was horrified at the Lu family's madness, but at the same time he was holding back his anger, thinking that their Lin family had done nothing wrong, so why should they accept such a false accusation.

Among the eight imperial merchants, he was the most honest one. He did not drive out the other imperial merchants but insisted on driving out the Lin family. As a member of the royal family, could he slander an innocent person like this?

He also knew that the Lu family did not necessarily require the Lin family to join, and they gave this option only for the sake of their son's face.

I am a businessman. How can I become one of the eight imperial merchants without courage? If I have a chance to go back to Beijing and embarrass myself, why not?

Anyway, my son is on good terms with the young master of the Lu family. Everyone knows that the two families have a dispute. If the Lu family fails, the Lin family may not be able to get anything good. Isn't it just a throw of silver? Why not give it a try? It may not be impossible to turn things around.

"It just so happens that I don't know where to go, so I'll take my wife and children to Yanzhou for a stroll!"

Father Lin is a smart man. Lu Zhanxing smiled and nodded: "Go ahead. Whether you can make it to Yanzhou depends on your own ability."

They are indeed powerless, but I have already given them money. If they just go there without thinking, they will only be robbed and killed by robbers. If they can't even go this far, there is no point in recruiting them. Do they really need my brother to escort them all the time?

My eldest brother hasn't even established himself in Yanzhou yet, so how can he devote himself to helping the Lin family?

So what if they are cruel? Having enjoyed such a long period of protection when Lin Tao was close to me, I naturally have to bear the consequences. Now that I have given them the choice, the decision is in their hands. What does the result have to do with me?

Hearing this, Father Lin understood what Lu Zhanxing meant. Wasn’t it just a test to see if they could reach Yanzhou?

Over the years, he has traveled all over the country and always stood out among the wealthy businessmen. He has experienced everything, so this test is naturally no problem for him.

"Thank you very much for seeing my family off. If we are lucky enough to meet again, I will definitely host a banquet to entertain you all."

"Bon Voyage!"

Lin Tao held the bag and waved to the three people standing under the city wall with red eyes. He did not regret making friends with these three people. He secretly swore in his heart that he must learn business from his father, become a famous businessman in the future, and make a lot of money to spend on these three friends, because this friendship is worth it!

Sun Qiming said, "I heard that Mr. Lin's suburban villa was auctioned off by the government, but I don't have much money. Is Brother Lu interested?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing's eyes lit up. She liked the villa very much, and luckily, she had some spare money.

"Okay, I'll have someone buy it, and when they come back, give that kid Lin Tao a surprise." Lu Zhanxing said with a smile.

Yu Wei also smiled: "Brother Lu, Brother Sun, my father wants me to go to the border for training. I'm afraid it will take several years for me to come back."

"Where?"

Sun Qiming exclaimed, he just saw off a good friend, and now he’s going to see off another one?

"Xuzhou!"

Lu Zhanxing's eyes flickered. Isn't Xuzhou adjacent to Yanzhou? It only takes two days to get there by water, and four or five days by land.

Part of the Lu family army was also stationed there.

Commander Yu is serving in the North Camp, and now he wants Yu Wei to go to the battlefield. I guess he wants Yu Wei to protect his big brother!

Although Yanzhou and Xuzhou are far apart, it is still better than the capital.

After figuring out the key, I felt that General Yu was truly loyal to the Lu family!

Lu Zhanxing smiled and said, "In the past, your father was always afraid that you would become unstable and refused to take you to the battlefield. This time, he finally got what he wanted."

Yu Wei was also somewhat happy: "Haha, that's right, just wait, within three years, I will definitely earn the position of general, and then my official position will be higher than my father's. Let him know that his son is no worse than his father, humph!"

Sun Qiming was touched, thinking that since Yu Wei was going to compete for military merit, it was time for him to find a way out. This time he also knew that he was useless and even his blind date would despise him. He felt helpless when he thought of his father sighing when he saw him, fearing that he would not be able to find a wife.

"I have also decided to serve in the Jinwu Guard."

It had already been decided that since the marriage fell through, I would just go and take up the position directly.

The two looked at Sun Qiming and thought that it was good that he was able to get over the breakup.

"Brother Lu, your brothers have all left, what about you? How about going to Jinwuwei with me?"

Lu Zhanxing shook his head violently: "Don't call me, go by yourself if you want to go, I want to lie down at home!"

You must be kidding. Why would he be a nobleman instead of standing guard at the city gate or patrolling the streets? She is too pampered and doesn't want to endure hardship.

Isn’t it nice to enjoy yourself at home?

Seeing Lu Zhanxing's resistance, they both felt that Lu Zhanxing was too pampered. He couldn't even bear this little hardship. He was so lazy!
