Royal Gold Magistrate

Chapter 416 The Arrogant Salt Merchant

sedan chair?After entering the house, do you still need to sit in a sedan chair?

Xie Xian looked at Du Lingfeng in confusion.

Du Lingfeng stepped into the gate familiarly, and then entered the sedan chair inside the courtyard gate.

Xie Xian could only follow closely and entered the sedan chair together.

Inside the car, Xie Xian leaned on the car window and observed hard.

It is a beautiful scenery.

The bamboo forest is swaying gently, not far away is the fish pond, rockery, and various pavilions and waterside pavilions...

"Brother Du, why do we still need to sit in sedan chairs after we've all entered the courtyard?"

When it seems that you have no experience, Du Lingfeng smiled triumphantly.

"Brother Xie, how is the view? This is just the Lu family's outer house!"

"The house of the Lu family is definitely beyond your imagination!"

"The inner house covers an area of ​​more than twenty acres! This outer house is a full two hundred acres! Although we have entered the gate of Lu's house, we have not yet entered Lu's house. Can you not sit in a sedan chair?"

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Xie Xian murmured: "My God, the imperial palace only covers an area of ​​one thousand acres, yet the Lu family is so extravagant! Don't they even hide it?"

"It's not a cover-up, the gate outside."

"......"

"You don't even believe it. The grand cadre is still there. When the country was in chaos, the internal and external houses of the Lu family were said to have expanded to over a thousand acres. Of course, this is just a legend, and I have never seen it before."

"It's hard to imagine, isn't the Lu family afraid of being investigated?" Xie Xian looked more and more frightened.

The master is courageous enough, there is almost nothing he dare not do.

But if that's the case, in order to prevent any troubles, they are extremely low-key on weekdays.

His own house is located in the backyard of the county government.

The size and decoration are just ordinary houses, nothing special.

It's amazing that a Lu family can be so awesome!

Du Lingfeng chuckled: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. This place is three thousand miles away from the capital. Who would have discovered it? But there is a reason why it is big. The Lu family, including its subordinates, will gather here to entertain guests on business. It is decent, and the second is practical, so it is necessary to be so large."

Xie Xian sighed: "Isn't that like a small imperial court?"

"Hmm! That's right, that's very apt, Little Court! It's just that he's only in charge of selling salt and managing the Salt Gang."

Xie Xian observed the layout of the outer house and stopped asking questions.

I don't know how many scenery I saw and how long it took.

The sedan chair wobbled to the vicinity of the inner house, although it was said to be an inner house, but in fact there was no gate.

The reason why it can be distinguished is because the buildings are more visible to the naked eye.

The two got out of the sedan chair at this point.

Du Lingfeng walked in front of him, and introduced: "Brother Xie, this is the inner house."

"Don't talk for a while, I'll introduce you, wait for Mr. Lu to ask you before you speak."

"it is good!"

Following Du Lingfeng through the buildings, he finally arrived at a main hall.

When the person who looked like the housekeeper came out to meet him, Du Lingfeng bowed first and said in a low voice: "Steward Lu, Du Lingfeng is asking to see you, Young Master."

Steward Lu's eyes were long and narrow, with a mustache, he stroked his long beard and looked at Xie Xian, "Is this the Xie Xian you mentioned?"

Xie Xian hastily made a salute.

"Exactly."

"Well, wait here! Young Master has a distinguished guest, and I will inform you after the conversation is over."

After finishing speaking, Steward Lu turned around and left!

Xie Xian looked at his back, moved closer to Du Lingfeng and said, "Brother Du, this person speaks a bit arrogantly."

"This person is the chief steward of the Lu Mansion, and his status is very important. Be careful."

"If he speaks ill of someone in front of the young master, the consequences can be imagined!"

While talking, a maid came to serve tea.

The two sat across the table and chatted quietly.

"Brother Du, what kind of person is Mr. Lu? I will see him later, what should I pay attention to?"

"Hey...it's hard to say. He... is a little moody, but the most taboo of others talking back, if it's not important, he will kill it directly."

"Some identities have also been punished miserably...so be extremely careful."

"No matter what he says for a while, you just follow him. With your eloquence, Brother Xie, you will be fine!"

Xie Xian nodded, then took a sip of tea, and began to draft in his heart.

How should I lick after a while...

After changing three cups of tea, I finally waited for a servant to report.

Du Lingfeng swallowed his saliva, looked a little nervous, and signaled Xie Xian with his eyes, then walked quickly towards the backyard.

In a courtyard in the backyard.

Lu Renjie closed his eyes and lay on the recliner, with four or five charming maids standing beside him.

When Du Lingfeng and Xie Xian stood in front of him, they slowly opened their eyes.

Xie Xian carefully looked at Lu Renjie.

Seeing that he was about thirty years old, his face looked a little pale, but the overall look was a bit gloomy.

It doesn't look like a good person to get along with, no wonder Du Lingfeng doesn't like him very much.

"Mr. Lu." Du Lingfeng bowed, and Xie Xian followed suit.

"Ling Feng, what's the matter? Jianjiang's business can't continue?" Lu Renjie didn't get up, and there was a sense of laziness in his speech.

"Yes...the buyer over there is a bit talkative. If you continue to do it, I'm afraid it will be a bit risky."

"However, I met Brother Xie in Jianjiang. This person has outstanding abilities. He is willing to cooperate with me. I hope you will learn from me."

Du Lingfeng was still talking with his head down, not daring to breathe.

Lu Renjie smiled and got up slowly.

"Oh? You are Xie Xian, what did you do before?"

"Brother Xie opened a brothel in Jianjiang, but..."

"I didn't ask you!" Lu Renjie said coldly, and Du Lingfeng immediately fell silent.

Xie Xian bowed slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Young Master, the villain is in the brothel business, but he didn't check for a while and was taken as his own. Later, I got to know Brother Du."

"Since Ling Feng brought you here, it means that he trusts you very much. But... selling private salt is a business of beheading, you dare to do it?" Lu Renjie's eyes wandered slowly on Xie Xian.

Xie Xian gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked at Lu Renjie with fanatical eyes: "Dare!"

"As long as there is money to make, there is nothing to dare!"

"Opening a brothel is no different from selling private salt. Private salt can still be sold privately. If you make more money on the surface, you may be targeted by others!"

"To be honest, the villain was still worried at first, but when he saw Mr. Lu today, his worries disappeared!"

"Merchants are regarded as cheap, but only those who see the Lu family will understand that it is not the merchants who are cheap, but the merchants who have no money are cheap!"

"For a rich and powerful person like Mr. Lu, even if the court officials come, you will have to take the lead!"

Lu Renjie looked to the left and right in surprise, then laughed and said: "Heh...heh! Talent, what a talent!"

Then he pointed at Xie Xian, looked at Du Lingfeng and said, "I like this guy!"

"Well said! Merchants are cheap, but they are definitely not salt merchants!"

"Official, do you dare to say something more in front of the salt merchant? Money can make ghosts grind, they are ghosts..."
