The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

Lu Yunzhi nodded. As Kang Cheng said, he was no longer someone who the Lu family dared to ignore or even despise. It was the greatest blessing in his life to meet the Fourth Young Master. The Fourth Young Master was a blessing to him. .

"Kang Cheng, it seems that there is a lot to be said for this. Our General Ma Ruide has made great achievements in suppressing bandits many times. How many people do you think there are in those bandits, which can make General Ma encircle and suppress again and again? And why? Others went there and found nothing, either they couldn’t find the bandits, or they seemed to have figured out the route by those bandits, and they returned in a disastrous defeat?” Lu Yunzhi, who had calmed down, pointed out the biggest suspicious point sharply.

"The fourth son has suspected for a long time that the old man Ma Ruide either used the bandits to train his soldiers, or... that old man Ma Ruide's private army is hidden on that mountain!" Zhu Kangcheng's eyes flickered with sternness.

Lu Yunzhi's hand holding the cup tightened all of a sudden. If he was a martial arts practitioner, the cup would have already become powdered: "Sure enough, he is a man with ulterior motives. What is annoying is that the prince actually allowed him to develop in Suanzhou." "Although he is a literati, but he hates evil like a hatred, and suffered a lot when he was young because of his unruly temper.

"Yes, the lord is still too kind, otherwise..." Zhu Kangcheng's eyes flashed, and he didn't continue, but Lu Yunzhi understood what he meant. Back then, if the old emperor hadn't slandered King Beiding, What is the surname of Jiangshan now? Those of them who live in the area under the jurisdiction of King Beiding have no loyalty to the imperial court there.

These topics are too sensitive, and the two of them didn't talk any more. They ordered their subordinates to continue to follow this clue, and at the same time passed the information they had obtained to the fourth son. He couldn't move Ma Ruide at all, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet. The fourth son needed to restrain Ma Ruide's energy.

If Ma Ruide really raised a group of private soldiers, what did he use to support this group of people?Who will supply horses, weapons, food?Not to mention, the fourth son, Chadma Ruide, also had business dealings with the barbarians in private.

"By the way, you said that Xu Bei wants to send his younger brother to the academy to continue his studies?" Lu Yunzhi asked the subordinate suddenly.

"Yes, Young Master Lu Qi, but according to my subordinates, it is very difficult to achieve things." The subordinate replied, firstly, the two brothers are almost penniless, and secondly, there is no one to recommend them. If they want to enter a slightly famous academy, too much. Difficult.

"Well, you go down."

When the man exited the room, Zhu Kangcheng asked indifferently: "Could it be that Yunzhi has a heart for you to love talents?"

Lu Yunzhi bent his lips and said, "I just want to give their brothers a chance, it's up to them how they will go in the future." That's what the Fourth Young Master said to him back then, and he held onto it tightly. I took that opportunity and proved my ability to the fourth son.

Zhu Kangcheng rolled his eyes, Yunzhi's momentary impulse was an adventure from heaven for that young man, if all this failed, he would be a dou who couldn't afford to support him at all.

Alas, in the eyes of others, Yunzhi is cold-blooded and ruthless, but he knows that Yunzhi is the softest hearted, but he is forced to arm himself like this.

Xu Bei didn't know that one side was plotting against him, and the other side would bring great opportunities to them, but the next day, he faced the dilemma of being made things difficult for him. First, a person selling the same food appeared across from him. Then, a customer who ate the tofu curds at his stall suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and rolled on the ground. His companion immediately rushed up and yelled that there was something wrong with his food, which caused his friend to eat badly. Most of the customers who had gathered in front of the stall dispersed immediately, taking a step back to watch the dispute.

Xu Bei raised his head and looked around. It was obvious that someone had designed a trap against him. Such despicable little tricks really made him look down on him, otherwise he would not have been able to accumulate such a large fortune in his previous life. It cannot be explained by "luck".

Who is targeting him?There are no more than two kinds of people, one is a colleague who fell in love with his small business and used such a conspiracy to attack him. He and Min Qing have no foundation in this town, and the business during this period may have made some people popular squinted.

The other is that some people can't tolerate him staying in this town. Thinking of this, Xu Bei's mean face appeared in Xu Bei's mind. As for the aunt's method, if it was done by this person, then the push of the family in Shangpo Village must be indispensable behind it.

"You little bastard, if you don't give my brother an explanation today, I'll smash your stall right away, every time I see you!" The companion pointed at Xu Bei fiercely and yelled.

Xu Bei glanced at the person lying on the ground, and avoided the finger that was about to poke his eyes: "Shouldn't you call for a doctor at this time? How come you come to smash my stall first when you have time?"

The onlookers whispered to each other, except for some who didn't know the details, most of them guessed that these two people deliberately caused trouble. Many people have eaten the food from this little brother's stall. How could it be such a coincidence that this person ate bad food today? Stomach.

"Little bastard, hand over the silver first. My brother needs to prepare at least ten taels of silver when he goes to see the doctor." The man turned his eyes and stretched out his hand to ask for the silver.

"Ten taels of silver? What a big tone, you dare to make trouble on my brother's head, don't you want to mess around, don't you?" A louder voice sounded behind the troublemaker. Xu Bei looked up and saw that it was Zhang Meng who led the trouble. Several brothers on the boat pushed aside the crowd and came over, among them was Chen Mang who was full of evil spirits.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of our town! My brother obviously ate his stomach at this stall, so is it wrong to ask him to pay a few taels of silver? Look at my brother, when he came here It's alright, but look now..." The man yelled at the crowd of onlookers, followed his fingers to see that the person rolling on the ground was really pale, his lips were purple, and he was sweating profusely. It's like pretending to cheat. Could it be that he really ate his stomach?

Thinking of this, they looked suspiciously at Xu Bei.

"Huh, who knows what I ate indiscriminately, and if I want to plant my brother, it depends on whether I, Zhang Meng, will respond!" Zhang Meng stared, and a fierce look approached the troublemaker, making the latter feel angry. He took a few steps back timidly.

Zhang Meng cast a disdainful glance, then turned to Xu Bei and said, "Boy Bei, give me a few bowls of the same food as them, don't pay attention to those who seek their own death."

Xu Bei smiled heartily, and said loudly, "Thank you Brother Zhang and the brothers for coming to help out. Brother Zhang, you don't need to come. I wanted to show them the food. Is it their own problem or my eating?"

Brother Zhang trusts him and does not shy away from his food. He is grateful in his heart, but he can do this kind of thing by himself, but when he refused, Zhang Meng and the others had already started to do it by himself. The man before just ate a bowl Douhua has a stomachache, so just eating it in front of other people is enough to show the problem.

Zhang Meng and the others were so loyal, Xu Bei grabbed the bowl first, dumbfounded, and sucked it into his stomach, Zhang Meng and the others stood in front of the stall without paying attention, and finished eating the bowl in a few gulps , and then wiped his mouth, Zhang Meng grinned again: "Boy Bei, one bowl is not enough, and I will serve another bowl for my brothers."

"Okay, but today I will treat my brothers to eat bean curd first, and I will invite you to the restaurant after the work here is over." Xu Bei said while digging the bean curd while taking their bowls.

"Okay, I'll listen to Boy Bei today." Zhang Meng also responded readily.

It was obvious that there was no problem with the food at Xu Bei's stall, and he ate it without seeing the stall owner. The little gangsters who made trouble before knew it when they saw Xu Bei eating Douhua. The expected development, just about to run away, even ignored his accomplices who were rolling on the ground, but before he could run away, a strong man stood in front of him, the man looked up, his legs were so frightened that he almost fell down sit on the floor.

It was Chen Mang with a scar on his face who was blocking the way. How could the gangsters in the town be able to resist those cold eyes and evil spirit all over his body? When Chen Mang stretched out his hand to grab him, he was frightened Backing away, he waved his hands and confessed: "No, sir, please forgive me. I said, and the younger ones said that someone paid us to do it..." Before he finished speaking, the man fell to the ground.

Hearing this, Xu Bei came out of the stall and came to that person. He first said to Chen Mang, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for your help," and then said to the person, "Who told you to do this? And that person What's wrong?"

The onlookers saw that Xu Bei and Zhang Meng ate the tofu curds without any problems, while the symptoms of the person rolling on the ground did not ease at all. They didn't know that he ate something bad and planted it on the stall owner. .

The man's eyes were a little dodgy, but Zhang Meng led others to surround him, and even if he wanted to run, he had no direction to run, so he had to resign himself to pointing at Xu Bei and said, "This kid offended someone, the proprietress of the Jixiang Grocery Store Let's drive this kid out of the town, our brothers are just taking people's money to eliminate disasters, well, I've confessed everything, you can let me go."

I secretly hated that old lady. Didn't the old lady say that this boy is a poor boy from the countryside, helpless, let them just do it, drive him away, and it doesn't matter how much money they can dig from them Theirs, if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have the courage to do it. They have done this kind of thing more than once, and which time it didn't go according to their wishes.

Lucky grocery store?Zhang Meng turned to look at Xu Bei: "Boy Bei, what's your problem with that grocery store?"

Xu Bei secretly hated, and didn't want to save face for the woman: "The proprietress of Jixiang Grocery Store is my aunt, and I'm her own nephew, so don't lie to me!" Contrary to what he thought in his heart, Xu Bei's face showed Shocked, and then angrily condemned the little bastard.

The onlookers suddenly went into an uproar. Of course they knew about the Jixiang Grocery Store, and many people knew about the proprietress of that store. She was really a shrewd person. She was more calculating than the head of the family. There is a bottom line, it is common for farmers and people from outside the town to go to the market, but she will really be so cruel to her own nephew?

Zhang Meng could see through Xu Bei's acting at a glance. If he hadn't seen the scene of Xu Guihua showing no mercy to Xu Bei that day, he might have been deceived by Xu Bei. My own nephew did such a thing of extermination?

Since Xu Bei wanted to act, he would do it to the end, kicked the little bastard, and sternly said, "How dare you lie to me? Listen, big guy, how can an aunt treat a nephew like this? Be honest. , who told you to do this!"

The little bastard let out a groan, and hugged his calf, his face turned pale from the pain, that old woman really did him a bad job, so she simply didn't show mercy, and confessed clearly to Lao Di: "It's really that old woman who let us Brother did this, I dare to swear, if there is a lie, I will cut off my children and grandchildren!" This oath was ruthless enough, and those who were a little hesitant because of Xu Bei's words also suspected that it was Xu Guihua who really wanted to harm him. My own nephew?

The little gangster continued to explain: "The old woman didn't say that this little brother is her nephew at all, she only said that this little brother came from the countryside, without father and mother, she told us that no matter what method we use, just drive this little brother out Town, if you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to find that old lady, she’s still waiting for a reply from our brother.”

The crowd suddenly erupted, and then looked at the stunned Xu Bei, and their hearts became more and more inclined to him.

Someone murmured, "Don't be afraid, little boss. Their Jixiang Grocery Store is not the only one in this town. We will go with you to confront Xu Guihua. How can there be such a cruel aunt."

"It's so heartless, I just said that woman is not a good thing, the brown sugar that I sold to a distant relative last time was actually two taels short, and the woman refused to admit it when I went to find it, slandering my relative. Get off, and treat their grocery store as a fool."

……

In the backyard of the auspicious grocery store, the little Wang who came early in the morning was talking to Xu Guihua: "...Osmanthus, you still have a way, you don't have to come forward, you can let the boys leave by themselves, alas, I don't want to do that either As for them, who let the second brother and the second younger siblings do such a thing, I was terrified when I saw them, if they talk nonsense outside, the old Xu family will be ruined on them."

Da Wang asked Xiao Wang and his daughter to bring Xu Bei back to question the crime, but turning around, Xiao Wang chatted with Xu Guihua, people must never be brought back, if Xu Bei really listened to Da Wang, leave Xu Minqing alone , wouldn't such a disaster be spread to them?Of course not, it's best to drive people as far away as possible, never to appear in front of them again, as for how to explain to mother-in-law, just push Xu Bei's disobedience, there is nothing you can't get over.

In order to prevent Xu Guihua from leaking her words in front of her mother-in-law, Xiao Wang not only gritted her teeth and paid for a piece of high-quality floral cloth for the sister-in-law, but also paid Xu Guihua the money to buy the gangster, and secretly comforted herself while she was bleeding. , this expense will be recovered from my sister-in-law sooner or later.
