Lord of the House: Chapter 6 kill prestige

It was Du Rong, a wealthy businessman from Qingfenghang in Jiangning, who secretly hooked up with the East pirates for looting Sumei to ingratiate himself with someone from the Jinan luxury family, and created the Baisha County robbery that shocked Jianghuai.

Although the group of East pirates later looted the deputy general Xiao Taoyuan of Ninghai Town on Xisha Island inside the mouth of the Yangtze River, Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe also went through danger to rescue Su Mei and others together on Changshan Island. Dong itself is a rich man in Jiangdong, and the robbery in Baisha County involved the Jinan luxury family who had just split the earth and sealed the marquis. Even if Lin Fu rescued Su Mei and Xiaoman, he would never have dared to let Du Rong know that he colluded with the luxury family. Just let them know.

Su Mei's return to Jiangning without any envy will surely make Du Rong confused. When Lin Fu was still in Tinghu County, he had negotiated with Su Mei that the interaction between the two sides should be colder after Jiangning, so as not to show any flaws in Du Rong's eyeliner. Come.

When Lin Fu arrived in Jiangning, Xiaoman dressed up as a boy to greet him, but Su Mei did not dare to meet him in disguise, because he was afraid that if anyone could see through the gossip and spread to the streets and alleys of Jiangning City tomorrow, it would inevitably cause Du Rong to become more intense. suspicion.

Seeing that Du Rong, who was dressed in a silk shirt and looked innocent and looked innocent, was standing at the inn with a young man in brocade to greet Gu Wuchen, Lin Bie was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Xiaoman's slender waist and lifted her off the horse. hold down.

Xiaoman was also frightened, how could he have thought such a coincidence in the world?

Lin bound his arms around Xiaoman's waist, exerting a little force, and said softly to her, "There's nothing to do, just walk in as usual," and whispered to Zhou Pu again, "The person who greeted Gu Wuchen was Du Rong. ... Cover Xiaoman with your body, and I'll walk away to attract his attention."

Zhou Pu took the reins in Lin Bing's hand to lead the horse and continued to follow behind the courier who helped the Gu family pull the suitcase cage into the inn. Zhao Hu and Chen Size each led the horse and moved to Zhou Pu's left side, only Liu Yue I didn't understand why, I didn't know what was going on, I just watched Lin Fu walk outside and separated from them a few steps away.

Lin Fu walked near, and the young man in brocade was standing in front of the inn to greet Gu Wuchen, Du Rong stood by him humbly, and Gu Siyuan, the son of Gu Wuchen, also stood beside him with a look of joy, it seemed that he was very close to the young man in brocade. Cooked.

"Uncle Gu, I thought you and Brother Siyuan entered Jiangning City early, but I didn't expect to come to Jiangning with you. I'm really happy," the young man in brocade robes bowed to Gu Wuchen, and eagerly held Gu Siyuan's arm, saying, " It was inconvenient for the merchant ship to stop on the way. My nephew thought that Uncle Gu might stop at Chaotian Station, so he disembarked at the ferry and waited here for Uncle Gu and Si Yuan to come over. I came over from Zhongzhou with my servant. The gentleman is very arrogant, he met me in Zhongzhou and knew that I was also coming to Jiangning, so he invited me to come with him on his boat..."

Lin Fu listened to them, but still didn't know who this young man in brocade clothes was. He thought that Du Rong was very good at fawning on the powerful, and when he met in Zhongzhou, he deliberately tried to please this young man. Looking at this young man and Gu Siyuan, he was also very affectionate. You can guess what kind of person he is.

"Jiangning Qingfeng Xing Du Rong is fortunate to meet Master Gu." Du Rong humbly gave Gu Wuchen a salute with his registration number.

Lin Fu looked at Gu Wuchen with a slightly stunned expression, thinking that he had heard of Du Rong.

Qingfenghang itself is a well-known big business in Jiangning. Besides, the extravagant family asked to surrender and finally got the imperial court policy to seal the Marquis of Jin'an. Du Rong, as a big businessman, was quite active behind the scenes. Gu Wuchen was here to serve as the deputy envoy of the Jiangdong Police Commissioner. It would be strange if he had never heard of Du Rong before.

"Du Caidong is welcome," Gu Wuchen asked Du Rong to be excused from the ceremony, when he saw Lin Fu approaching, and stopped him, "Nephew Lin, come, come, come, I will introduce nephew Jinsheng. Let me get to know you, you young people should have good contacts in Jiangning, and nephew Jinsheng is the young master of Yongchang..."

Lin Fie didn't expect that this young man in brocade clothes was actually the grandson of the Yuan clan, and the son of the hereditary Yongchang Hou.

From the Emperor Gaozu onwards of the Dayue Dynasty, the direct descendants of the royal family are enshrined as Enfeng. With each generation of the envoys, they were downgraded to the first-class heirs, and finally they were downgraded to the generals of the Wu Kingdom. Since the founding of the Dayue Dynasty more than two hundred years ago, thirteen generations of emperors, almost every generation, have a bunch of princes and dukes. Several generations have descended, and there were hundreds of people who had descended from the princes and grandchildren of the Marquis to the generals of the Wu Kingdom. Most of these kings and grandsons are estranged from the current sages, so they have the name of kings and grandsons, and they receive very limited favors from the court. Those who are not good managers are even destitute.

However, in addition to Enfeng, there are also hereditary military meritorious kings and marquis. Those are the brothers and nephews of the great ancestors who had military merits when the country was founded. The hereditary titles will never be downgraded. They are commonly known as the Golden Rice Bowl Marquis. Hou Wang. The ancestor of Yongchanghou was the younger brother of Gaozu, and he made great contributions at the beginning of the establishment of the country and the frontier.

Although these kings and grandchildren all have lands under their names, the court, in order to limit the places where the kings and grandsons of the kings can gain power, even though there are seals, they have built mansions in the two capitals for the kings and grandsons to live in, and it is strictly forbidden for them to go to them privately. The fiefdom is the domain. In fact, it is also to let these kings and grandsons enjoy the glory and wealth, and don't think about usurping power or usurping the throne.

The mansion of Marquis Yongchang is located in Jiangning City, and he is considered to be the grandson of Jiangning's truly deep-rooted nobles.

Lin Fu, a young man in brocade clothing, Yongchang Hou Shaohou Ye Yuan Jinsheng bowed and said, "I have seen Lin Fu before Young Master Master," and then turned to Du Rong and cupped his hands, smirking with a tight face, "Du Caidong You probably didn't expect to meet me here, did you?"

In front of the inn's gate, two strings of suffocating wind lanterns hang high, blocking the blurred night from a height of ten feet. Compared with Baisha County two months ago, Lin Bie is darker and thinner, and the lines on his face are tough. As carved by a knife and axe, his eyes are bright under the lights, he is dressed in a blue shirt, his body is tall and straight, and a simple and unpretentious saber is tied around his waist.

As Lin Fu approached, Du Rong still recognized him at a glance, even though his temperament and image had changed a lot, giving people the feeling of being unsheathed, heroic and determined. Du Rong thought that he had cultivated the composure that Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his face, but seeing Lin Fu approaching casually, Du Rong still couldn't hide the strange look in his eyes. After a few breaths, he said with emotion: "It turns out that it's really Young Master Lin—I haven't slept well for the past two months, and I haven't had a good appetite. Later, when I learned that Miss Su had returned to Jiangning safely, I hugged Young Master Lin alive. There is hope, thank God..." He wondered what the relationship between Lin Fu and Jiang Dong's Deputy Commissioner Gu Wuchen was.

"I don't know how Du Caidong values ​​Lin Fu so much!" Lin Fu sneered, "The words Du Caidong said in the past are still in Lin Fu's ears, but those words sounded like Du Caidong looked down on people very much. ."

Du Rong didn't expect to meet Lin Fu again, and he would reveal his former resentment without any cover up, and he didn't know what his relationship with Gu Wu was.

Some of the officials of the Jiangning Commissioner, who crossed the river to greet Gu Wuchen, looked at the young man in blue in front of him in amazement and thought: Du Rong of Qingfengxing had offended him before?

Lin Fu bowed to Gu Wuchen and Yuan Jinsheng, the Young Marquis of Yongchang, and said: "In the past, Lin Fu had humiliated this person in Weiyang Mansion. Although Lin Fu was poor, he was not short-sighted. If there is this person, forgive me. Lin Bie was rude and left first..." When he said this, he put his hand on the saber on his waist, making it doubtful that he would be angry and draw the knife to Du Rong on the spot.

In this era, officials and scholars all liked sabres as decorations, and some people even wore wooden swords decorated with gold and silver on their waists, but Lin Bie’s waist was a straight-ridged long sword with a slight curvature. Although the scabbard was simple and unadorned, There are only bits and pieces of leather decoration, but it can be seen at a glance that it is a blade. Du Rong was also startled when he saw Lin Bie's hand clenching the handle of the knife. The guards beside him were also worried and ready to rush over at any time.

Lin Fu glanced at Du Rong, and walked towards the inn with his saber in his hand.

Lin Bie walked away with an indignant expression, and everyone looked at Du Rong with other meanings hidden in their eyes: What injustice did Du Rong do to make this young man incompatible?

Du Rong only thought that Lin Fu had been despised by him in Baisha County, but he no longer suspected that the activities behind the Baisha County robbery would be known to Lin Fu. Lin Fu's posture made Du Rong very passive and embarrassed, and he couldn't explain it. After all, he did disrespect Lin Fu when he was in Baisha County.

After Lin Bie made such a fuss, Gu Wuchen naturally had no impression of Du Rong. He turned his head and said to his son Gu Siyuan: "You accompany Jinsheng to reminisce about the past, I'll go first..."

Benefiting from Gu Wuchen, the postmaster arranged for Lin Fu and the others to enter the courtyard with five elegant houses. After the handyman who brought them over left, Xiaoman clutched his chest and said, "Scared me to death..."

Lin Fu didn't answer Xiaoman's words, and said to Liu Yue'er first: "Miss Liu, it's getting late, you go back to your room and rest early, we'll go to Jiangning City tomorrow..."

Seeing that Lin Fu was about to separate herself, Liu Yue'er didn't say anything, she bowed her body and saluted, then backed out and went back to the elegant house prepared for her to rest.

Xiaoman stuck out his tongue cutely, and then said in a low voice, "I'm really happy to see your majesty in killing Du Rong."

"Is it just the prestige to kill him?" Lin Fu asked with a smile.

"What's the use?" Xiaoman asked in confusion.

"We have almost no foundation in Jiangning, so how can we defeat Du Rong in the future?" Lin Tie sat down on the soft futon behind the long case and said, "After the luxury family's incident in Jin'an, Du Rong and his Qingfenghang firm only became involved. In Jiangning's sudden rise, it has only been six or seven years. Even if UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com has the support of luxury families, Qingfengxing's scale is bound to trample on other people's bodies... Whether it is open or secret, Du Rong's opponents in Jiangning must not be too few. I did this to tell Du Rong's opponents that another guy who dared to blow his beard and stare at Du Rong and swore to disagree with him has come to Jiangning..." There is another layer He didn't say it clearly. He just swears against Du Rong in front of Gu Wuchen and the officials of the Commissioner's Office. Gu Wuchen may only think that he is unwilling to be humiliated, but in the eyes of others, he will think that he is very good. It was only by relying on him that he dared to swear against Du Rong in front of everyone. This information will naturally reach the ears of Du Rong's opponents, and he will never think that he is just a baseless hero in Jiangning.

"Hehe," Xiaomanjiao laughed, "you don't have a beard to stare at..." She happily walked to Lin Bing and squatted down, resting her elbows on the case, and said, "After we return to Jiangning, Du Rong will come. After passing through Dustpan Alley twice, I was trying to test whether we knew the inside story of the Baisha County robbery. The lady was very worried, and she was helpless. I hoped that you would come to make up your mind sooner... Now we don't have to worry about it. "

Lin Bie smiled and said to Zhou Pu, who was sitting beside him holding a knife: "Master Zhou, maybe Du Rong will let someone sneak over to inquire, you have to see, if you break the other's foot, Du Rong is always in the post house. Don't dare to talk about anything," and said to Chen Enze, "The man in the brocade is Yuan Chunsheng, the son of the current Marquis of Yongchang. He has a close relationship with Gu Siyuan, the son of the Gu family. Maybe the maid of the Gu family knows something, so why don't you rush to rest? You can drop by the door to find out…”

Chen Enze agreed: "Okay!" After all, Chen Enze was still at the age of just wearing his hair. He was on the official ship all the way, but he got along well with the maids and wives of the Gu family. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
