Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 273 Who's Right
Outside the house, the west slanting sunlight came in from the window lattice and fell on the square table in front of the window.

The dappled light and shadow cast a warm world on the square table.

Lu Yange rubbed the teacup in his hand, waited until the tea was warm, raised his hand and drank it.

The girl's eyes were full of doubts: "How did Little General Zhou know that I earned my current fortune with 200 taels of silver? Could it be that Little General Zhou noticed me a long time ago and sent someone to watch me?"

200 taels of silver has earned countless shops, she has said this, but there are very few people who really know it.

Because this is actually a lie.

Back then when she was sent to the Lu family, the person who sent her did leave behind 200 taels of silver, but the Lu family dared not use that money, nor did she want to use it.

Later, I bought a shop in Jiangjiaba.The rent from that shop was used by her to help orphans and widows.

Zhou Yang looked at the slightly petite girl in front of him, and said calmly: "If I say, I left the 200 taels of silver to the princess, the princess is trustworthy."

Lu Yange froze when he heard the words, and looked at the young man opposite him in surprise: "You kept it?"

"Yes, I kept it."

Zhou Yang raised his hand and poured hot tea for Lu Yangge again, watching the tea wash away the tea leaves in the cup and slowly unroll them.

"That year, I went to Dongyang County to do business. On the way back, I picked you up on the deserted roadside. Because you were injured and unconscious, and I was in a hurry to return to Beijing, I took you to Jiangjiaba by the way. For a fisherman family named Lu. At that time, I left 200 taels of silver for that family and told them to treat you as much as possible."

Lu Yange snorted slightly: "Then should I thank General Zhou for saving his life?"

"It doesn't count." Zhou Yang didn't want to take credit from others.

"At the beginning, I also said that if it is impossible to cure, please ask them to buy a thin coffin and bury you alive. If it is a person with evil thoughts, just leave you to fend for yourself. At that time, you will spend one or two taels of silver to buy a coffin. Just bury you in the thin coffin. The Lu family is benevolent, so I am ashamed of this life-saving grace."

"I don't know one thing."

Lu Yange straightened his back and looked a little dazed: "Little General Zhou, are you sure I am an orphan, or do you know that my family was broken and I had no relatives to rely on?"

Zhou Yang was stopped by her words for a moment, he couldn't help raising his hand and pressed it on the square table, hesitating.

Lying, what should happen if the lie is exposed later.

Don't lie, if Lu Yange knew the truth at that time, how could he agree to his request.

Zhou Yang could only bite the bullet and said: "If I say that when the accident happened in Lujiazhuang, I saw it with my own eyes, and it was just a coincidence that I met you on the side of the road, can you believe it?"

"It's you?"

Lu Yange stood up abruptly, and looked at the young man who was sitting upright like a bell, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes froze.

Lu Yange raised his voice and asked sharply, "You were the one who led someone to kill my father and set fire to my Lujiazhuang that day? Wasn't it?"

The past was like the wind, whistling and flashing her memory.

The young man riding a horse smashed the door plaque of the Lu family's gate with his horse's hoof.

The arrow feathers shot by the bent bow just hit her heart, and it was her father who risked his life to protect her from leaving.Behind her are burning flames and fallen relatives.

And those white-soled cloth shoes, stepping in the dust, approaching step by step...

It turned out that the one who saved her was the one who killed her.

She has always wondered how Chen Quan colluded with the government to steal money and food from Lujiazhuang, and then escaped unscathed.

It turned out to be Zhou Yang, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion behind him, and General Lin.

With them, Chen Quan was able to win money and grain and succeed in the uprising.

It was also because of them that Chen Quan was able to step on Jinling and sit on the big chair of the Golden Luan Hall.

"it's me."

Zhou Yang clenched the golden bell cup with blue and white ganoderma pattern in his hand, with an unpredictable expression, "I was indeed among the people who went to Lujiazhuang that day, but I was a step behind the others. I didn't kill your father, and I didn't kill Lujiazhuang. burnt..."

"you're lying."

Lu Yange trembled all over, she clenched her hands tightly, and told herself in her heart to fight for herself, it was Chen Quan who was wrong, it was the person in front of her, not her.

They are sorry for the Lu family and for her.

She should have snapped at him, scolded him, spit in his face.

Lu Yange gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Zhou, Yang, you, lie."

"Before Lujiazhuang was burned, did you receive news that you wanted to get a batch of grain for Qingfengzhai, and the grain was in Lujiazhuang. And you happen to be from the previous dynasty. Your uncle is Marquis Wu'an, and your uncle is Lin Lin. General. As a former court, he slandered Lu Yuanshan, the owner of Lujiazhuang, as a bandit. Then, in the name of suppressing bandits, he killed Lu Yuanshan, burned Lujiazhuang, and then transported the money and food from Lujiazhuang to Huaicheng Chen Quan. "

Lu Yange had deduced the cause and effect of this incident countless times, and she always knew that Chen Quan had colluded with the former officials.Otherwise, Dongyang County and Nanyang would not fall into the hands of the Hongying Army without any effort.During the Huaicheng uprising, money and food would not be so abundant.

But at that time, she had never been able to find out who was the person who could make Dongyang County and Nanyang County listen to the order at the same time.

When she went to Zhen Guogong's mansion today, she had doubts about Prime Minister Gongsun, Jiang Yushi, Minister of Rites Qi Yuan, and everyone who could still sit in high positions during the change of dynasty.

These people are all former ministers.

When Chen Quan came to the throne, only those who could secure official positions were the most suspicious.

But she didn't expect that this person would be Zhou Yang.

Only he can make General Lin give up defending his family and defending the country, and lead the Lin family's army to defect halfway and join the Hongying Army to break the capital.

Only he could let Marquis Wu An act as an internal response in the capital. When the Hongying army attacked the city, he managed to open the city gate, allowing the Hongying army to drive straight in and directly enter the palace.

He was the only one who, because of his status, cooperated inside and outside the palace to help Chen Quan sit on the dragon chair.

The city was destroyed and the imperial palace fell. It was also Zhou Yang who strangled Princess Anyang to death in front of his father, and made his uncle have to expel his own brother from the clan.

The second room of the Zhou family left only Zhou Yang alone.

Zhou Yang looked at the girl in front of her whose cheeks were flushed because of anger.

Xu Shi wore brocade today, and the gorgeous brocade set off the people in front of him like stars and moons.

She is so smart, she can almost grasp a little bit of thread, and she can deduce all the causes and consequences.

Over the years, he has watched her grow from a small fisherman in a peasant family to a strong one, and finally stepped into the capital step by step with her own strength.

Such a smart girl is a chess piece he left behind back then.

What did he think at that time, if this chess piece can be used, then make the best use of it.

If this chess piece is useless, it will be considered that he has done a good deed and saved an innocent little girl.

Zhou Yang never thought that the chess piece of that year would become a sharp blade.

At this moment, the sharp tip of the knife was facing him with a cold light.

If he is not careful, he may fall into a life-and-death situation today.
