Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 291 Promise
Shenshi, government office.

Lu Wen, the prefect of Hangzhou, was drinking tea in a room in the back office.

In the past two days, for some reason, Master Lu's right eyelid has been twitching, intermittently, good and bad.

According to our modern understanding, this is called blepharospasm, which has various causes and usually heals itself in a few days; but in ancient times, people were more superstitious, and there was a so-called "left eye jumping for money, right eye jumping for disaster" Therefore, Lu Wen has been restless for the past two days, always feeling that some trouble will come to his door recently.

"My... my lord—" Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the house.

The voice went from far to near, passing through the courtyard and the courtyard, and the person who shouted came to the front in a blink of an eye.

The door beside Lu Wen was open, and he quickly saw the yamen servant running and shouting. The latter stumbled to the door of the room, and when he saw Prefect Lu, he knelt down and panted heavily. , Clasping his fists and saluting: "Haa...ha...humble...see my lord for the humble position!"

"Why are you so panicked?" In front of this yamen servant, Lu Wen was proud of acting like a master, so he spoke in a leisurely manner, and picked up his teacup as he spoke, and took a sip calmly.

"Report to my lord, Sun Yixie, Mr. Sun, asks to see you." The yamen servant replied.

"Pfft—" In the next second, Lu Wen's sip of tea sprayed all over the wall.

After coughing twice, Lu Wen widened his eyes, turned to look at the yamen servant and said, "Say it again? Who is asking to see?"

"Sun...Sun Yixie, Mr. Sun." When the yamen servant answered for the second time, cold sweat dripped from his temples.

"Isn't he dead?" Lu Wen was also a little frightened, so he answered this sentence without thinking. .

In fact, what he said is nonsense, don't care if Brother Sun is really dead or fake, can you talk to this little messenger in front of you?Do you still expect him to advise you?
"Uh... this subordinate saw him with his own eyes just now, so I think the rumors are false." The yamen servant could only reply like this.

"Huh—" The next second, Lu Wen took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down, "Okay, you go invite him in..."

"I will obey your orders." The yamen servant made a promise, turned around and left.

Two minutes later, he led Sun Yixie back.

"My lord, Sun Gongzi brought it here." The tone of the yamen servant when he said this sentence revealed a strong feeling that he wanted to leave after completing the task.

Lu Wen really didn't think he would be of any help to him by staying here, so he waved his hand: "Well, go down."

Hearing this, if the yamen servant was granted an amnesty, he would leave as soon as he answered.

At this time, Sun Yixie beside him took two steps forward talking to himself, entered the room, knelt down on one knee with a smile on his face, cupped his fists and said, "Caomin has seen Mr. Lu."

"Hey~ My nephew is too polite, why do you need to make such a big gift here, please hurry up!" Lu Wen jumped up from the chair while talking, and bent down to help Sun Yixie himself.

Obviously, this Master Lu is also a person who knows how to flatter. Facing Sun Yixie, he dare not continue to sit on a chair and make the other party stand up by himself. few".

"Thank you, sir." Sun Yixie put on a smile and pretended to thank you.

"Come on, nephew, sit down quickly." Lu Wen also pretended to be very enthusiastic and motioned for the other party to sit down with him.

After the two sat down, they were a little more polite, and Lu Wencai said, "Nephew, when did you come back?"

"I just came back this morning." Sun Yixie replied, "I finished chatting with my parents at home, so I came here immediately to greet you, my lord."

"Oh... My nephew has a heart, a heart!" Lu Wen was very touched on the surface, but he said in his heart-"Could you come to pay my respects, kid? You are probably here to ask a crime."

His guess was right...

"Hehe...it should be." Sun Yixie hid his sword in his smile, and the next sentence was, "When I'm not around, our Sun family depends on your 'care' from the magistrate."

When Lu Wen heard the other party put the accent on the word "take care of", he panicked immediately, and he immediately said in a very sincere tone: "Nephew, don't get me wrong, what Murong Ji did is terrible. It has nothing to do with me, it's not that the government doesn't want to take care of it, it's really... oh... powerless."

Seeing his distressed expression, Sun Yixie felt that he was not lying, so he probed further: "Oh? What is the origin of this Mr. Murong, so that Mr. Lu, a magistrate like you, can't do anything?"

After hearing this, Lu Wen said to himself: Damn, can't you also make me helpless?Is this weird?

But he wouldn't spit it out, he just replied: "Nephew, you don't know something, this Murong family is the boss behind the 'Huanyi Pavilion', and behind them..." Lu Wen said At this point, he paused for a moment, turned his head to look around, and after a few seconds, lowered his voice and said, "...Let's put it this way, most of the civil servants in the government and the opposition are their backers."

"Oh?" Sun Yixie heard that this was really a big deal, so he continued to ask.

As for Lu Wen, he didn't dare to hide anything, and he didn't need to hide anything, because this matter was basically the same as the situation of the "High-speed Rail Gang" and "Flying Pigeon Gang".

So, during the next cup of tea, Lu Wen gave Sun Ge some science popularization about the Murong family and the imperial court that we mentioned in our last book.

When Sun Yixie heard half of it, he was also biting his teeth, thinking that this matter is really difficult to handle.

After Master Lu had finished talking about the matter, Sun Yixie frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully: "Then... can I understand this, this Murong Ji, I "sink him into the lake"... Surely it won't work, right?"

Lu Wen Na Khan came down at that time.

Who is he, Mr. Lu?According to our current concept, his magistrate is equivalent to the mayor of Hangzhou, the chief prosecutor of the Hangzhou Procuratorate, and the director of the Hangzhou Public Security Bureau...

You ask this question in front of him, how do you ask him to answer you?
"Nephew..." A few seconds later, Lu Wen went through a round of ideological struggle before he continued in a deep voice, "...it's not that the government doesn't give you face, it's just...according to this law, who do you put down?" Lakes are all wrong.”

"According to the law of the Great Mansion, is it okay for this Murong Ji to lead people to provoke troubles at my business entrance and even hurt me?" Sun Yixie asked rhetorically.

"This..." Lu Wen's expression changed slightly, he thought for a while, and replied, "Nephew, why don't I tell you this, as long as you don't 'make a fuss', what do you think about the matter between the two of you?" It can be resolved... If the trouble really comes to me, I must be facing you, after all, we have friendship, don't we?"

When Master Lu said this, it was basically a showdown.

What he meant was that - I have clearly defined the bottom line for you, and you can decide what to do next; it is best for you two not to disturb the Yamen in the end, and if it is disturbed, I can also promise to you, a local snake Pull the side shelf.

As for "friendship" and so on, it's just a matter of the scene. The reason why Lu Wen chose to favor Sun Yixie is simply because he has already settled his own account in his heart.

Although the Murong family is backed by officialdom, in the end they are just slaves who earn money for their masters.

The slave suffered a loss outside, and he can't directly order the master to avenge himself, he can only go to the master to complain first, and then let the master decide whether to help him out; and the master often has to weigh the pros and cons before taking action, look at this Whether the matter is worth it or not, if it is not worth it, forget it, anyway, it is only the slaves who suffer.

That is to say, Murong Ji didn't do whatever he wanted, it's just that officials from all over the country would turn a blind eye to his behavior under the premise of not going too far.

But Sun Yixie is different, he is backed by Jin Yiwei, and judging from his previous attitude towards Yun Shili, he really has "friendship".

If you offend Murong Ji, the worst case scenario is that he goes back to file a complaint and read a book for you with the court officials, which will affect your official career, and it is not certain whether it will really affect your career.

And if you offend Sun Yixie, you might go on a trip to the Imperial Prison, which is still a one-way ticket.

This difference in risk cost will be chosen by anyone.

Besides, even if the matter of Jin Yiwei is not considered, the Sun family's roots in Hangzhou are much deeper than the Murong family's.

Let's take a step back... In this matter, Murong Ji was objectively wrong. He was the one who started the Sun family's business first, so he deserved to be turned back.

To sum up, it is normal and reasonable for Lu Wen to make this judgment.

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words." Sun Yixie smiled again after thinking for a while, "Oh... By the way, I suddenly remembered that there was still something stewing on the stove at home. If nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

Once he got what he wanted, Sun Yixie wouldn't delay at Lu Wen's place any longer. He was already full of vicious schemes, so he had to go back to make arrangements without stopping.

And what he wants to do to Murong Ji, let's see next time... Break it down!
