As soon as Lu Xihua came to the main courtyard, he saw his father Lu Yuan sitting in the main seat with a serious face, while Lu Fei was standing beside him.

Seeing Lu Fei, he burst into anger.

Before he could get angry, his father asked him, "Did you go to Xiangke Street at the foot of Puxian Temple today?"

Lu Xihua flinched, hesitating whether to tell the truth.

boom!

Seeing this, Lu Yuan patted the table angrily, "Why don't you tell me the truth?!"

Lu Fei sneered at the side, I really don't know whether to say Lu Xihua is stupid or stupid, it's this time, and I still want to play tricks.

At this time, the rescuers that Lu Xihua moved before going out came.

As soon as the stepmother Mrs. Lu stepped into the room, she said in a soft voice, "Master, calm down, the child has done something wrong, tell him well, and he will correct it."

"Shut up! You're the one who got used to the child! Lawlessness!" After scolding his stepmother, Lu Yuan looked at Lu Xihua, "Why don't you hurry up and tell me everything?!"

Lu Xihua had no choice but to tell the truth how he found out that his eldest sister was going out, how he followed her, how he found out that she was having an affair with the married Xie Zhan, and how he caught the adulterer.

Lu Yuan: "So you locked the front and back doors of Xiangke Street?"

Such a thing, in normal times, would be ridiculed at most when it was known, but now, it caused so many deaths in the Chen family, it was fatal.

In fact, the Chen family encountered mountain torrents, even if there was no accident of Lu Xihua locking the door, it would have been a narrow escape.

But Lu Xihua has now stepped in and directly took the responsibility on him, stupid, stupid!

"Father, I don't blame me for this matter, it's all Lu Fei's fault. If it wasn't for her indiscretion, she would have a married man in rainy days, and I wouldn't lock those two doors just thinking of catching an adulterer."

Lu Xihua was startled and frightened in his heart, how did he know that it was just catching an adulterer and that he would cause such a big disaster? !

Lu Fei is not a vegetarian either, she had already broken up with their mother and son before, and now she will fight back without hesitation, "You caused trouble yourself, and you want to make it worse? I don't admit to things I haven't done!"

"Haven't you ever done it? Seeing how you and Xie Zhan smiled so sweetly on Xianghuo Street, I'm afraid it's more than one private meeting?" Lu Xihua could only desperately pour dirty water on Lu Fei.

Lu Yuan was thoughtful.

Mrs. Lu said quickly, "Master, you must find out about this matter, we can't wrong the innocent."

Lu Yuan thought for a while and decided, "Come here, take the eldest lady down for a check."

"Father? You don't trust your daughter?" Lu Fei looked humiliated and sad.

Lu Yuan waved his hand, and Lu Fei was invited down.

Not long after, the old servant woman who checked the body came and said, "Go back to Mrs. Madam, the eldest lady is still innocent."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan glared at Lu Xihua again.

There are only two words in Lu Xihua's mind, it's over.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help tightening the handkerchief in her hand.

At this time, the porter came, "Master, it's not good, the county guard sent someone to Lu's mansion to get someone."

Lu Xihua said in shock, "Father, save me!"

Stepmother Mrs. Lu: "Master, save Xihua, save our son."

Pa, Lu Yuan slapped the table with one hand, "Calm down!"

Not long after, Lu Xihua was taken away by the government.

Lu Yuan followed closely to the government office.

Then, because this case was related to the two great families in the southern region, the governor of the county has not made a decision for a long time.

So many people in the Chen family died, even if Lu Xihua accompanied them, it would be hard to get rid of the hatred in the Chen family's heart.Not to mention Lu Yuan, Lu Patriarch, also protected Lu Xihua, which made the Chen family even more angry.

Mrs. Chen convened a meeting of the elders of the Chen family.

"This matter can't be left alone!"

If the government office doesn't help the Chen family to seek justice, then the Chen family will seek justice themselves!

The Chen family's matter is too big, and it involves the Lu family.The other four great families in the Southland are closely watching the development of the two families.

As the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Changnian is the same.

When he received Ji Wuyin's invitation, he was surprised.

Neither he nor Ji Wuyin were such boring people, Ji Wuyin invited him at this time, maybe something really happened, Zhu Changnian decided to go to the appointment.

When Zhu Changnian saw Xue Guangxian in the Ji Mansion, he was very surprised, "Xue Guangxian, is it really you? It turns out that the Chen family was wiped out by a mountain torrent just to find you?"

Thinking about Xie Zhan using him to lure Chen Jiaye and others out, Xue Xu sneered in his heart, but explained on his face, "I just returned to Southland today, and I have never been to Xiangke Street at the foot of Puxian Temple Mountain. I came back by boat , the Cao Gang can testify.” If he hadn’t had to win his trust later, he wouldn’t have explained it.

Zhu Changnian didn't believe it, "Is it really not you? Chen Jiaye shouldn't be mistaken."

Xue Xu didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but said another way, "Master Zhu really admires me. It's already at this time, and I'm still in the mood to watch the show." Obviously, the Chen family and the Lu family will definitely fight, Zhu Changnian wanted to take advantage of it.In fact, he is not the only one. The Zhu family, the Gu family, and the Liu and Zhang families, which ones are not paying close attention to the development of the situation, all have the same thoughts.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Changnian frowned, feeling that there was something in his words.

Xue Xu said with a smile, "I said that your Zhu family is in great trouble and you don't even know it."

Zhu Changnian was shocked and angry when he heard the words, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Xue Xu: "Go back and find out what your good son Zhu Congwen has done, and then you will know if I am talking nonsense."

When he said this, Zhu Changnian was shaken when it was specific to an individual.What did that kid do?

Ji Wuyin at the side also said, "Patriarch Zhu, you really need to pay attention to Young Master Zhu's movements."

"how?"

"He borrowed 20 taels of silver from me a few days ago."

"What, 20 taels of silver? Such a large sum of money, you just borrowed it? Ji Daxiu, you are not authentic like this. You should get someone to come and tell me."

But Ji Wuyin said, "My Ji's bank is open for business. If you have a mortgage, how can I push the business out? As for not telling you, it is your request. He said he would give you a surprise. How can I ignore his filial piety?"

Zhu Changnian had a bad feeling, "What did he use as collateral?"

Ji Wuyin didn't hide it from him, "Food!"

Zhu Changnian clutched his chest and sat on a chair, 20 taels of food!That's two granaries, one-third of his Zhu family's grain is gone!

The price of grain has been going up now, does he know how much the 20 taels of grain can go up in the end? !This prodigal son!

No, Zhu Congwen alone cannot get the right to use the two granaries. As long as he is not alarmed, his second uncle must have helped him!

"Ji Wuyin, when can we redeem those grains?" Zhu Changnian asked, as long as the deadline is not exceeded, the grains will still belong to their Zhu family.

"Patriarch Zhu, don't worry about those grains. Do you know why Mr. Zhu is taking the 20 taels that he borrowed?" Xue Xu didn't whet his appetite, and directly revealed the answer, "Mr. 20 taels, traded with Xie Zhan, and bought Xiao Zhuya Island from the Chen family."

Zhu Changnian said, "How can the little Zhuya Island of the Chen family be worth so much?! 10 taels is enough!"

"Of course a small Zhuya Island is not worth 20 taels. What if there are gold mines on the island?" Xue Xu said casually.

Zhu Changnian was startled, "Gold mine?"

Ji Wuyin was also surprised, "Gold mine!"

Zhu Changnian shook his head, "No, it's impossible, it's not true."

If the son really mines the gold mine privately, then...

The Zhu family is over!Ji Wuyin looked at Zhu Changnian sympathetically.

"Whether this is true or not, Patriarch Zhu can go back and check it out. But what I want to tell you is that the time is very urgent. The imperial envoys have already set off from Chang'an and may arrive in the South at any time. What are your plans, you need to decide as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you at Ji Mansion."

"In addition, the Zhu family may be under surveillance. You must be careful when checking, so as not to be noticed by the other party."

While Xue Xu was speaking, Zhu Changnian's heart kept sinking.

Finally, Zhu Changnian showed an extremely ugly smile, "Thank you Mr. Xue for reminding me, I'll go back first."

Now he only hopes that what Xue Guangxian said is not true, the two warehouses of grain will be gone if they are gone.

When Zhu Changnian got up, he staggered.

Xue Xu helped him up, "You have to calm down, don't let people see the clues."

Zhu Changnian nodded indiscriminately, and when he reached the gate, he barely recovered as usual.

"Ah, Xie Zhan even counted on my Ji family?" Ji Wuyin only realized when he knew that there was a gold mine in Little Zhuya Island.

"Hmm."

After he sorted out the whole matter, Zhu Congwen borrowed 20 taels from Ji's bank.If he was not there at that time, the eldest son would lend him the 20 taels without collateral.

Next, if the Zhu family is ransacked and exterminated because of the gold mine.

Because they didn't ask for collateral, the 20 taels loaned to Zhu Congwen by the Ji's bank was in vain.In the end, the money definitely either went into the pocket of the emperor or into the pocket of Xie Zhan.

And their Ji's bank can lend 20 taels without collateral, which may arouse the suspicion of the emperor!

And with the chaos in the south, if the Ji family didn't know that this was a game set up by Xie Zhan, they would definitely not be able to resist joining the battle because of the loss of 20 taels.

In this way, all the major forces in the Southland were involved.

Damn, Xie Zhan is really calculating!
