Zhu Nao

Yuan Jilu looked like a desperate lunatic at the moment, swearing at one moment, begging for mercy at another moment, changing his face to flipping the pages of a book.

"Go get Jun Nao!!! Let Jun Nao come to see me!!! Go!!!"

"Didn't any of you hear what the governor said?"

"...Brother, Grandpa, please do me a favor. Let me see Zhuzhou Mu, and I will give you money after I get out. I will let you become officials, and I will help you find wives. Please."

He doesn't know how to deal with government affairs, but he is very good at clinging, with a thick skin.When I took Joe earlier, it was to raise my own value, so as to gain more benefits in the negotiation.But he didn't want Jun Nao to have any intention of negotiating with him at all, so when he knew that Jun Nao was determined to execute him, he immediately put all his airs behind him and became a complete rascal.

He was kowtowing on the ground when he suddenly heard footsteps in front of him. When he looked up, he saw two young men coming.One is fair-skinned, friendly and friendly; the other is very young, a young boy who has just grown up, tall and thin, dressed like a warrior.

Yuan Jilu had never seen these two men before, so he was taken aback for a moment, thinking they were new soldiers or officials.He knelt and crawled over, put his face on the railing and smiled flatteringly: "You two little brothers, do me a favor and send a letter to Zhuzhou Mu. I have something to give to Zhu Zhoumu, let him meet me."

Jing Zhe was so disgusted by the greasy mouth he claimed to be his brother that he shuddered.

Zhu Nao smiled and said, "What benefits do you have for me?"

Yuan Jilu was stunned.He couldn't believe that it was Junao standing in front of him, and his eyes widened in surprise.Then he stared at Zhu Nao, hatred, annoyance, anger and unwillingness flashed across his face, and finally he settled on a completely flattering look.

Jing Zhe was amazed by his ability to change faces.

Yuan Jilu salivated and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhuzhou Mu and Mr. Zhu to be so young and handsome. Jilu is ashamed."

Zhu Nao said, "I still have a lot of business to do."

Yuan Jilu was stunned for a long time, not knowing how he answered the topic.After a long time, he finally realized that he meant that time was of the essence and he didn't want to listen to his nonsense.Yuan Jilu twitched his cheeks, and quickly swallowed back his full belly, and got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhu, don't, don't kill me. I can help you. I can do anything!"

He had already thought of a lot of rhetoric in the past two days. He originally used it as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Zhu Nao, but now he can only confess in a hurry: "Yuan, the Yuan family is also considered a prestigious family. I am in the middle of the court. I know a lot of people. You want to keep Lu Qinghui, don’t you want him to help you break into those noble clans? He can’t, I, I can!”

During the past few days in hiding, Yuan Jilu also paid attention to the outside world.He knew that he and Lu Qinghui both escaped in the military disaster, but Zhu Nao only issued a warrant to arrest him, but did not issue a warrant to arrest Lu Qinghui, which shows that Zhu Nao wanted to keep Lu Qinghui.

Now that Zhu Nao is stationed in Chengdu, it is no longer possible for his ambition to be confined to Shu.After leaving the land of Shu, the world is so big and there are so many powerful people, can he still be disintegrated one by one like today?If he wants to achieve his ambition, he must work together horizontally and vertically.And he was born as a merchant, even if he claimed to be a child of the royal family, who would buy him?Always rely on connections.

The Yuan family is also a big family, although they are not as noble as the Lu family, they are also related to many big families by marriage.Yuan Jilu was not considered tall among the Yuan family's children, but he was so embarrassing that he recognized the eunuch as his adoptive father, colluded with the eunuchs and dignitaries, and succeeded in getting a fat job like Chengdu Yin.It can be seen that he is quite capable in pan-yanfure.

Yuan Jilu said anxiously: "Don't think that my background is not as high as Lu Qinghui's. I can be a higher official than him, because I am more capable than him! I know how to win over others, I know all kinds of rules, and Lu Qinghui doesn't understand at all. , he will not honestly help you! Really, I can! As long as you can name the person, regardless of the eunuch party, I promise to have a way to help you get in touch!"

Zhu Nao didn't seem to have heard what he said later, he was only interested in the sentence before him, tilted his head and said: "You are a bigger official than him, so you are more capable than him? How do you count?"

Yuan Jilu: "..."

He resisted the urge to scold his mother, pretending he didn't hear Zhu Nao's words, and continued to be cheeky: "Xie's family, Liu family, Xue family...even if it's other members of their Lu family, I can still talk."

He hastily began to count his connections and influences outside of Sichuan, hoping to see if there was anyone who could impress Zhu Nao.However, after he talked for a long time, Junao just laughed there.

Yuan Jilu gradually realized that Zhu Nao didn't seem to have much interest in what he said, so he could only keep his mouth shut unwillingly.After a while, he regained his enthusiasm and asked obsequiously: "Young Master Zhu, you just arrived in Chengdu, and I know you definitely need someone. Tell me what kind of person you need, and I'll see what I can do. Do it for you!"

Zhu Nao looked at him condescendingly, as if he was thinking about his words: "Indeed, you will always be useful."

Yuan Jilu was overjoyed immediately.It seems that he has a play!

However, Zhu Nao said again: "But what you can do, there are always others who can do it. Why bother to use you? Let's forget it."

Yuan Jilu's smile suddenly froze on his face.He has courted many people, and he has seen all kinds of people with strange temperaments, but he has never met Zhu Nao who is hated by others.If it wasn't for the railing, he would have jumped over and bit off a piece of Jun Nao's body!

However, he expected that Zhu Naoken would come to see him, which meant that he was still worth using.So he continued to flatter: "No, no, no, others may not be able to do it, and others may not be as good as me. Just say that Lu Qinghui, Mr. Zhu, you don't know how much he hates you. He repeatedly asked me to get rid of you. Lose you. He will never help you with things. If you keep him by your side, he will find a chance to kill you sooner or later! Only me, only I can help you. "

Zhu Nao slightly raised his eyebrows: "He really hates me so much?"

Yuan Jilu nodded desperately: "Really! If you don't believe me, ask Xu Yu!"

Jun Nao stroked his chin and gave a meaningful "Oh~".

After waiting for a while, seeing Yuan Jilu repeating only those words, nothing new, he turned around and said, "Jing Zhe, let's go, go back to work."

Yuan Jilu was stunned.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand out of the fence, trying to catch Zhu Nao back, but unfortunately, no matter how hard his fingers fluttered, he could only catch it in vain: "Don't, don't, don't go! Mr. Zhu, what are you talking about, otherwise, what are you doing here?" ?”

Zhu Naoqi asked, "Didn't you ask me to come here?"

Yuan Jilu was taken aback again: "Huh?"

Zhu Nao thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I'm quite soft-hearted."

Yuan Jilu thought there was a turning point again, so he pricked up his ears to listen to him.

Zhu Nao said: "The soldier said that you were crying miserably, and the last wish before you died was to see me. I will come to let you meet, so that you will not leave any regrets. After seeing you, I should go back. Really There's still a lot of business to do."

Yuan Jilu: "..."

He hoped that Zhu Nao was teasing him, but Zhu Nao really took Cheng Jingzhe out without looking back.Or the fact that Jun Nao came here to see him today was really teasing him.

Yuan Jilu stared at the backs of the two people who were going away, his eyes almost fell out of their sockets.

A moment later, Yuan Jilu's heart-piercing curses came from the prison again: "Junao!!! You traitor!!! You beast!!! Come back to me!!!"

Zhu Nao shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, rubbed his eardrums, and hurried away.

……

A private house in Chengdu.

When Lu Qinghui walked to the door, the two attendants guarding the door hurriedly got up and said, "Young Yin, do you want to go out?"

Lu Qinghui was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I want to go out for a walk."

The two servants looked at each other apprehensively.After the war, Lu Qinghui hid here and hardly went out for several days, especially after Zhu Nao entered the city.They heard that Zhu Nao had been sending people to find Lu Qinghui's whereabouts, and they even strictly protected Lu Qinghui.

Lu Qinghui has always hated Zhu Nao, and once obstructed Zhu Nao's affairs.If he falls into Zhu Nao's hands, I'm afraid it won't end well.Furthermore, even if Zhu Nao didn't treat Lu Qinghui, Lu Qinghui was so arrogant that he couldn't accept the current situation.In the past few days, he has hardly had a sound sleep, and his figure has lost a lot of weight.

After a while, the servant opened the door.It's not a problem to hide in the house all day, let Lu Qinghui go out for a walk, maybe his condition will be better.

The two attendants accompanied Lu Qinghui out the door and walked into the city. Seeing several collapsed and charred houses, Lu Qinghui frowned involuntarily.

The attendant hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Shao Yin, this was done by the rebel army that day." When the rebel army entered the city that day, Lu Qinghui's subordinates protected him and hid him. This was the first time Lu Qinghui saw him in so many days. Chengdu City after the chaos.

Lu Qinghui nodded: "I know." He added, "Better than I thought."

A man was cleaning up a burnt storefront, and Lu Qinghui walked over when he saw it.

"Is this your shop?" he asked.

The man froze for a moment and said, "That's right."

Lu Qinghui said again: "Have you lost a lot?"

"Yes." The man sighed, "All the money in the store was robbed by the rebels, and all the goods were returned to me and burned. I really lost my money."

Lu Qinghui asked: "Then do you hate it?"

The man was taken aback again.He had never seen Lu Qinghui before, even if he had, he wouldn't be able to recognize Lu Qinghui now that he was so skinny.When he saw Lu Qinghui dressed as a commoner, he thought he was also a commoner with the same disease.

So he sighed and said: "Hate, why don't you hate? Those dog officials in the government do dog things all day long, and keep a group of bandits outside the city. Fortunately, they figured it out! Fortunately, that dog official Yuan Jilu will be executed at the end of the month , It’s really heart-warming!”

The dog officials this person was talking about obviously only referred to the original officials in Chengdu.Lu Qinghui asked again: "Then don't you hate Zhu Nao?"

The man was stunned, his face was blank, obviously he didn't understand Lu Qinghui's logic.

"Hate Zhuzhou Mu? Why? Zhuzhou Mu is a rare good official!" The man said, "As long as we report the damage to our houses, he will send troops to rebuild us and give us money. Let me tell you, those dogs in Chengdu The sum of all the officials is not as good as Zhu Zhoumu's little finger!"

Lu Qinghui's two attendants couldn't listen any longer, and wanted to step forward to argue, but Lu Qinghui raised his hand to stop them.

Lu Qinghui seemed to want to smile at the man, but couldn't, so he just bowed to the man, turned and left.
