Hold His Hand

The next day, Lu Yanzhou went to King Rui's teahouse to meet King Rui.

Lu Yanzhou knew that King Rui must have sent someone to watch him, so he didn't hide anything about what he did. He told all the things he did in Jingning Temple, and said: "The prince is most trying to gain fame. Acting like this, he really treats me differently."

King Rui already knew that Xie Chengze had delivered things to Lu Yanzhou several times, and he also felt that Lu Yanzhou had done a good job, so he looked at Lu Yanzhou affectionately and said, "Jizhi, you have worked hard."

Lu Yanzhou made a look of being flattered: "It is my honor to be able to work for the prince."

Lu Yanzhou accompanied King Rui in a play, as for what kind of play...it was naturally a play in which he had the deepest affection for King Rui and was willing to devote himself to King Rui until he died.

In the process of acting, he also found out that King Rui should know the original owner's feelings and intend to guide him.

I think so, if King Rui really didn't respond, how could the original owner get deeper and deeper?

Lu Yanzhou didn't tell King Rui about Xie Chengze's physical condition or even his sexual orientation, but only said some things that Xie Chengze said when he talked to him: "I have only met the prince three times after all, and we didn't talk much."

Knowing that Xie Chengze even gave Lu Yanzhou the books that Wang Linyuan personally wrote and commented on, Rui Wang said: "He values ​​you very much, and he probably wants to cultivate you into a confidant. You can stay by his side and wait for the opportunity."

Lu Yanzhou immediately agreed. Seeing that he agreed, King Rui stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yanzhou's hand, and said something like if he can achieve great things in the future, he must treat Lu Yanzhou well.

Fortunately, he probably felt nasty himself and didn't like men, so he quickly let go of Lu Yanzhou's hand, otherwise Lu Yanzhou would not be able to bear it.

After making a bunch of promises, King Rui said, "Do you still have money?"

Lu Yanzhou was kind and generous, with a distressed look on his face: "Recently, the expenses are a bit high..."

King Rui immediately said: "I will tell the banker that you can pay some later."

Lu Yanzhou was moved: "Then thank you, my lord!"

Lu Yanzhou used to work purely for King Rui. After all, King Rui is a prince, even if he is a "corporate of courtesy and virtuousness", he will not be too close to Lu Yanzhou.

But now King Rui needs Lu Yanzhou to get close to the crown prince, and the crown prince is extraordinarily generous in his actions, even giving away notes written by Mr. Wang Linyuan... In order to prevent Lu Yanzhou from joining the crown prince, King Rui's attitude towards Lu Yanzhou has changed drastically, and he has also given money extra generously.

When Lu Yanzhou met with King Rui, he didn't provide any useful information, but took away a lot of money.

After returning to Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou gave the money to Lu Rong.

Lu Rong asked, "Where did the money come from?"

Lu Yanzhou said: "King Rui gave it to me. He asked me to approach the prince to wait for the opportunity. Naturally, I have to give money."

Lu Rong looked at the bank note in her hand and didn't know what to say for a while.

But Lu Yanzhou said: "Seventh Sister, you take this money and use it to help the poor people. The crown prince likes simple and kind people, so I will perform the show well."

Lu Rong could only agree.

As soon as Lu Rong agreed, Xie Chengze sent someone to deliver something. What he sent was a high-quality inkstone, ten high-quality brushes, and some exquisite food.

Lu Yanzhou accepted the gift with a smile, and asked Chang Feng to take out a wooden box and give it to the other party as a gift in return.

But when he returned to the room, Lu Yanzhou put away his smile and said to Lu Rong: "Compared to King Rui, the prince is still generous. This inkstone is very valuable, and there is probably only one in the East Palace."

Lu Rong wanted revenge wholeheartedly, but seeing her younger brother like this, she always felt a little uncomfortable.

But she had to admit that her brother was quite powerful.

This is... King Rui and the prince are giving her brother money!

At this time, Lu Yanzhou said again: "By the way, Seventh Sister, it will take some time to deal with King Rui and the others, but the Han family... I can make them suffer a few years ago."

Hearing the word "Han family", Lu Rong trembled all over, and suddenly raised her head to look at Lu Yanzhou.

A cold light flashed in Lu Yanzhou's eyes: "Isn't it just for fame and fortune? Now I want them to fetch water from bamboo baskets."

The Han family that Lu Yanzhou mentioned was the family that was engaged to Lu Rong back then and later sold Lu Rong.

Mr. Lu saved the life of the Mr. Han's family back then. At that time, it was a troubled time. The Han family, who was barely regarded as a scholarly family, couldn't survive the troubled times, so he became the Lu family's aide.

After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the children of the Han family all had official positions, so they no longer relied on the Lu family. However, the Han family and the Lu family were still close at that time. Therefore, Lu Rong got engaged to Erlang of the Han family at a young age.

17 years ago when something happened to the Lu family, they didn't ask the Han family to intercede for the Lu family, they only asked the Han family to save Lu Rong. At that time, Lu Rong's father, who was Lu Yanzhou's second uncle, knew that their male son would not be able to keep them, so they even asked the Han family to save Lu Rong. All the money was sent to the Han family as Lu Rong's dowry, hoping that the Han family would treat Lu Rong better.

There is a saying that the crime is not as good as a married woman. In the previous dynasties, even if officials were sentenced to punish nine clans, it was only for men, and wives and daughters were just slaves.

In fact, they don't dare to kill them all today. They mainly target the Lu family, or the men of the Lu family. At that time, the younger generation of the Lu family divorced their wives, and those women also saved their lives when they returned to their natal families.

Therefore, the Han family can completely keep Lu Rong.

Even if the Han family forced Lu Rong to become a monk, Lu Rong and Lu Yanzhou would not hate them, but in the end...they sold Lu Rong.

Or sell it to that kind of dirty place!

Of course, there were other reasons why Lu Yanzhou was so anxious to attack their family that he couldn't even wait until the Chinese New Year.

The Han family now belongs to the princeling party, and the person in charge of the imperial examination happens to be the father of Lu Rong's ex-fiance!

This person is very good at pleasing people, and he is only average in learning. Back then, he became a student of Wang Linyuan by sending money and things to Mr. Wang Linyuan who had some difficulties in his family.

This Mr. Han is a villain through and through. He also has a fatal flaw, that is, he loves money.

In addition, his life was so smooth that he was still a little drifting these years.

Adding these two things together... This Master Han collected some money from Juren before Chunwei. Although he would not reveal the exam questions, he also pointed out some directions.

Some officials greeted him for their children, and he obliged.

The original owner met Lu Rong before the New Year's Eve, before the start of the Spring Festival. At that time, Lu Rong's husband had just been quartered by five horses, and Lu Rong's obsession with revenge was very deep.

Seeing this, King Rui used Lu Rong and the original owner to deal with the Han family, intending to cut off the prince's arm.

So, together with the original owner, Lu Rong incited people in Beijing to make trouble after Chunwei, and bought "human lives" with money, and asked the people who sold their lives to stop the prince's frame to file a lawsuit, and sued the Han family for robbing the people's fields and forcing the people to death. After suing, he was killed immediately.

With a multi-pronged approach, Xie Chengze naturally wanted to investigate the Han family, and then found out many problems.

Let's not talk about the matter of Chun Wei for now, the Han family is an official outside, and they have done a lot of messy things. Not only have they neglected human lives, they have even embezzled disaster relief funds!

It was also because of this that no one found out that the person who made the initial complaint was a fake. Even the Han family themselves thought that someone among them had indeed done that.

In short, after all the trouble, the Han family was gone.

This incident has had a great impact on the prince. This is the first time the prince presides over Chun Wei, and he also uses his people. In the end, it turned out like this... The prince's prestige in the court has plummeted, and the people of King Rui's family have become more and more arrogant. .

People outside who don't know the truth think that the prince and the Han family belong together, and they also think that the prince's virtue is not worthy.

That Mr. Han is a rotten egg full of cracks. Sooner or later, there will be flies staring at him. Even without him and Lu Rong, King Rui would definitely do something if he found something wrong after Chunwei.

And as long as you do it... Mr. Han can't stand the investigation!

Rather than letting King Rui do something after Chunwei, it is better to pull Mr. Han off his horse before Chunwei. In this case, the impact on the prince will be smaller.

If the prince handles it properly, he can earn a reputation as a wise and powerful man who kills relatives righteously.

Even if the crown prince didn't do anything...it's not a bad thing, at least it got rid of a moth around the crown prince.

The prince is orthodox. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, King Rui will not let him go. In the memory of the original owner, King Rui has done so many things. In the end, he was able to live in the East Palace as he wished after killing the prince.

If Lu Yanzhou had no memory of the original owner, it would be difficult to find evidence against the Han family, but he has the memory of the original owner.

In the memory of the original owner, everything that the Han family has done has been interrogated, including... 17 years ago when the Lu family had an accident, some evidence was provided by the Han family.

In order to show his loyalty to Jinshang, Mr. Han not only sold Lu Rong, but also concocted some evidence that the Lu family intended to rebel.

Lu Rong said: "The Han family is in full swing, so it's not easy to deal with."

"Sister, don't worry, I have a way to deal with them." Lu Yanzhou said.

When Lu Yanzhou was talking with Lu Rong, Xie Chengze had just received a gift from Lu Yanzhou.

The sesame balls sent by Lu Yanzhou have not been finished yet, so what is it this time?

Opening the wooden box, Xie Chengze saw a small bamboo toy. This is... a small roller that can roll when you press it with your fingers?

This thing is very interesting, but not exquisite, Lu Yanzhou will give it to him because it is made by Lu Yanzhou himself?

Xie Chengze saw the word "Lu" engraved on the roller, and liked it even more.

He played with it for a while and put it away on his bedside.

Although he knew that he should stay away from Lu Yanzhou, but after much deliberation... Xie Chengze still planned to go to Lu Yanzhou again in a few days.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Chengze came to Jingning Temple again.

Lu Yanzhou was very happy to see Xie Chengze, and took Xie Chengze for a stroll around Jingning Temple, chatting by the way.

When the two were chatting, Lu Yanzhou tried it out.He pretended to be unintentional, and mentioned that some officials did not mention their dead bodies, but also committed corruption and bribery.

Xie Chengze disliked such people in words.

"If brother Cheng is an official, he must be a good one." Lu Yanzhou laughed.

Xie Chengze also laughed: "Jizhi will definitely become a good official."

"Brother Cheng said so, I will definitely live up to Brother Cheng's expectations!" Lu Yanzhou assured, and then asked Xie Chengze: "Brother Cheng, I am going to teach the children to read today, do you want to come with me?"

If Lu Yanzhou has time recently, he will teach the children to read and write.

Not only the children here can learn, but also the children in the village can come to learn. He even built a house as a classroom for this purpose.

In order to ensure lighting, the windows in this classroom are very large, and the windows are not closed during class. It is as cold as it gets, and the children in the school are also dirty.

They didn't have a complete set of desks and chairs, and they mostly got some stones and wood as stools at random, and sat in the classroom messily.

The teaching environment was poor, but Xie Chengze still agreed, and followed Lu Yanzhou into the classroom without any distaste.

Xie Chengze's teachers were all great Confucian scholars. He was eager to learn back then, and he was able to sit on a stool for an hour when he was not as tall as the table for eating.

This made him feel a little strange after seeing the children taught by Lu Yanzhou who seemed to have thorns on their stools and couldn't sit still. He didn't know how to teach them, so he stood aside in a daze.

Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou was a little funny. He took a hand stove and handed it to Xie Chengze, so that Xie Chengze would not freeze to death. After thinking about it, he asked Changfeng to find a sheepskin cloak with a hat and put it on for Xie Chengze.

Standing there before, Xie Chengze, who was like a banished fairy, was wrapped in this sheepskin cloak. He was very rustic in an instant, but it was also really warm...

Lu Yanzhou didn't think it was enough, so he yelled again: "Changfeng, go and get another stove for boiling water, and a small coffee table too."

Chang Feng quickly brought the stove and coffee table, and Lu Yanzhou moved a stool for Xie Chengze to sit on, and put the stove in front of him so that the fire could roast his legs.

The small coffee table was placed by Xie Chengze's hand, and after setting everything up, Lu Yanzhou said, "Brother Cheng, if you feel cold, drink some hot water."

Xie Chengze was dumbfounded by Lu Yanzhou's operation: "I'm not teaching children with you here, I'm clearly watching you teach children while warming up."

"I like to let Brother Cheng look at me." Lu Yanzhou laughed.

Xie Chengze smiled at Lu Yanzhou, quickly turned his head, and made a gesture of drinking tea with both hands, as if he wanted to drink tea to relieve the embarrassment.

But he didn't have a teacup in his hand, but the copper stove that Lu Yanzhou gave him.

The copper hand stove was brought to his mouth... Xie Chengze froze, but Lu Yanzhou laughed again.

Afraid of Xie Chengze's embarrassment, Lu Yanzhou never laughed out loud, but quickly put away his smile and started to get down to business.

While telling stories to these children, he taught them common words.

Of course, he didn't forget Xie Chengze, he would talk to Xie Chengze from time to time, and asked Changfeng to fry some pumpkin seeds for Xie Chengze to eat.

Xie Chengze: "..." Sitting like this in front of the classroom, he looked like a landlord supervising the work of the long-term workers.

Feeling good?

Xie Chengze felt very comfortable chatting with Lu Yanzhou, and watching Lu Yanzhou teach also made him feel happy.

In the palace, he lived every day with great care, and only when he came to Jingning Temple could he relax.

It's just that Lu Yanzhou occasionally has some intimate actions with him, which always makes his heart beat uncontrollably.

This was an extremely novel experience, and while he felt it was inappropriate, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Just as he was distracted, Xie Chengze suddenly saw Lu Rong standing at the window with his child on his back. At this moment, Lu Rong's child was awake and was looking at him with wide eyes.

He smiled at the other party, thought for a while, grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and walked over, handing them to Lu Rong: "Sister-in-law of the Zhu family, do you want some pumpkin seeds?"

Lu Rong took the pumpkin seeds and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Xie Chengze said, "It's cold outside, sister-in-law of the Zhu family, take the child back to the house."

Lu Yanzhou spoke highly of the Zhu family's wife, saying that she was very capable, and Xie Chengze treated her differently.

Of course, there was another reason for Xie Chengze to talk to her, that is, every time he saw Lu Rong walking around with the child on his back, he would be worried that the child would be frozen.

"Yeah." Lu Rong responded and left with the child on her back.

It wasn't until it was dark that Lu Yanzhou sent Xie Chengze away. When Xie Chengze left, he still didn't forget to give Xie Chengze another clay pot filled with sesame balls.

When Xie Chengze's carriage disappeared, Lu Yanzhou reluctantly looked away.

How wonderful the last world was. After he brought Xie Chengze back from Xie's house, Xie Chengze stayed by his side and never left, but this world is different.

There is a big gap between him and Xie Chengze's identities, and Xie Chengze is still busy, so it will take several days for them to meet each other.

After Chunwei, he was admitted to Jinshi and became an official, so he wondered if he could see Xie Chengze a few more times.

As for the relationship between the two of them... Lu Yanzhou was not in a hurry.

At this moment, there are many things between him and Xie Chengze, and he wants to wait for these things to be resolved before confessing his love to Xie Chengze.

Of course, this does not conflict with his desire to get along with Xie Chengze.

Thinking of what to do next, Lu Yanzhou restrained his emotions, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Lu Rong standing not far away.

Ever since Lu Rong learned that Lu Yanzhou intended to seduce Xie Chengze, she felt very complicated. This time when Xie Chengze came over, she even watched carefully from the side.

Lu Yanzhou was caring towards Xie Chengze, and he was indeed deliberately seducing, and judging from what she saw... Xie Chengze had already moved his heart towards Lu Yanzhou.

Xie Chengze is the crown prince, if he hadn't been moved by Lu Yanzhou, how could he be willing to stay in such a place for a day?

Even the not-so-tasty food they cooked, Xie Chengze ate it up without any distaste.

"Seventh sister, what's wrong?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

Lu Rong shook her head: "Nothing."

"By the way, Seventh Sister, is the money I gave you enough?"

"Enough, what's the matter?" Lu Rong asked.

Lu Yanzhou hooked the corner of his mouth: "Tomorrow I'm going to ask King Rui for money, and I should be able to get a lot."

Lu Rong: "..."

The next day, Lu Yanzhou did go to find King Rui.

Of course, he didn't go to King Rui to ask for money, but to "show merit" to King Rui: "My lord, I have been with the prince recently, and I learned that the prince plans to promote Mr. Han after the spring next year, and the prince even let Mr. Han I contacted many candidates and wanted to train my own team."

"Is this really true?" King Rui asked hastily.

"There will be no fakes, the crown prince has been soliciting me a lot." Lu Yanzhou said.

Because of his heart disease, Xie Chengze never cared much about power, and he would not try his best to attract courtiers like King Rui.

As for those juren, he will not send people to contact them!That Mr. Han came into contact with Juren purely to make money for himself.

But King Rui always felt that Xie Chengze's appearance of not caring about anything was just an act, so he believed it when Lu Yanzhou said it.

After he believed it, he became a little anxious - how many people can Xie Chengze recruit after one imperial examination!

Many of these juren were born as officials, and when they became princes, their families would naturally fall to the prince.

The point is, the prince doesn't need to spend even a penny to do this!

What about him?In fact, he also had contact with some Juren, but although those Juren were friends with him, they would not work for him. When the Crown Prince greeted him, they would definitely fall for the Crown Prince.

Who made the prince orthodox?At present, most of the affairs of the DPRK and China are handled by the prince.

King Rui was going crazy with jealousy: "What should I do?"

"My lord, I met someone before. He said that he has a handle on Mr. Han. If we can pull Mr. Han off the horse at this juncture, and then make things worse... you are not the one who presides over Chunwei. Can't do it." Lu Yanzhou said.

He told Lu Rong that he wanted to avenge Lu Rong and get rid of the Han family, but he didn't have this ability himself, so he could only kill people with a knife.

As for who to borrow this knife from... Naturally, it is from King Rui.

"Who are you talking about?" King Rui asked immediately.

Lu Yanzhou said: "It's a traveling businessman from Dagon Prefecture. It is said that when Mr. Han was an official in Dagon Prefecture, he got money for disaster relief."

"Does that person really have evidence?" King Rui asked again.

"There should be, that is, he wants money."

King Rui stood up, walked back and forth eagerly, and finally said: "Money is not a problem, you must get the evidence!"

After finishing speaking, King Rui had a heartache on his face: "As much money as you want, just go to the account and pay!"

"Thank you, my lord! It's a pity that I don't have much property in my family, so I can't share my worries for my lord..." Lu Yanzhou looked guilty.

Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, King Rui remembered how Lu Yanzhou had been doing well before.

At that time, he asked Lu Yanzhou to do things without paying him!Lu Yanzhou has always posted it by himself!

Thinking that Lu Yanzhou had given him a lot of money before, King Rui didn't feel so sorry for the money at this time: "How can I keep using Jizhi's money? Jizhi, don't worry. Although it is difficult for me to wait now, I will wait for you in the future." ...This king will definitely give you a thousand acres of fertile land!"

Lu Yanzhou looked excited: "Thank you, my lord!"

After Lu Yanzhou returned to Jingning Temple, he gave Lu Rong the money he got from King Rui again.

Lu Rong: "..." Her brother really got money from King Rui!

This is a scam for money and sex...

But this is what the dog emperor asked for!If the dog emperor hadn't harmed the Lu family... As the ninth master of the Lu family, why would her brother need to do this?

Lu Yanzhou knew that Lu Rong would be a little tangled.

He let Lu Rong tangled up, and began to sort out all the crimes Mr. Han had committed according to the memory of the original owner.

The past few days were very busy, and he never sorted it out.

Lu Yanzhou actually didn't have any concrete evidence, but after he wrote down all the things that the Han family had committed, King Rui couldn't find the evidence easily.

He believed that King Rui would not let him down.

As for Xie Chengze, he can remind Xie Chengze in advance so that Xie Chengze should not worry about this matter.

In addition... What he gave Xie Chengze before was not a toy, it was his improved waterwheel.

In order to avoid being found out by Tiandao, he had to be careful, but the waterwheel was improved on the earth at this time, so it didn't matter if he took it out.

When Xie Chengze promotes it, it will be a good thing for the country and the people.
