Chapter 166 The Chen Family

Xuan Qing stood up and snorted coldly: "It's ownerless land, first come first served, you guys go to the next one."

The man stared at Xuan Qing and said arrogantly, "What kind of bastards are you? How dare you let us go? Get out of here right now, or I'll make you pay for it."

Xuan Qing looked at them coldly, and laughed mockingly: "It's still unclear who will get away with it."

A casual male voice came from the room: "Don't waste time talking to them. If they refuse to leave, then beat them out."

"yes."

There are about twenty people in this group, all of them are strong and sturdy. In comparison, there are also several female relatives on their side. In terms of numbers, Lu Jiangnian's side looks much weaker.

But what does Kung Fu have to do with the number of people?

As soon as Xuanying, Xuanqing and Shi Hai attacked, 70% to 80% of the opponents were unable to fight back.

In just a short moment, those people staggered to and fro, and the contempt in their eyes was no longer there.

However, they still refused to give in: "You are really too presumptuous. Do you know who our young master is?"

"Our son is the son of Lord Chen, the Minister of Rites, and his aunt is Madam Zhaohua. How dare you disrespect us!"

Chen family?

Before Lu Jiangnian left the capital, Chen Zhengquan's matter had been settled.

The emperor took into consideration the reputation of Madam Zhaohua and the fifth prince, and acquiesced to the scapegoat pushed out by the Chen family. All the blame was placed on Chen San.

However, the emperor was also annoyed with Chen Ben because of this. When he was in court, he took the opportunity to criticize Chen Ben for his incompetence, poor family management, and damaged his official reputation. He fined Chen Ben his salary for two years to see what would happen next.

If there is any more mistake, you will be demoted directly.

The emperor did this to shut up other people.

After all, he was partial this time.

Madam Zhaohua was sensible and never begged for mercy because of her nephew's affairs. However, she was depressed every day, crying silently, and she lost a lot of weight.

He saw it and felt bad.

After all, she was the person he had loved all these years, so he could only let her off.

However, the Chen and Jiang families have done too many things recently, and he has quite a few complaints about the Fifth Prince. Madam Zhaohua has lived in the palace for a long time, and she is not aware of the affairs of the Chen and Jiang families, so it cannot be blamed on her.

However, the Fifth Prince had already established his own household, and had frequent dealings with the Chen and Jiang families. He actually did not properly control the two families, which led to him being entangled in many troubles and scandals.

Therefore, the original plan to have the fifth prince take up an important position in the court was delayed.

Lu Jiangnian had already found out all this information.

I also know that the emperor is also dissatisfied with the third prince.

A while ago, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince had a huge quarrel. The Emperor blamed everything on the Third Prince and reprimanded him several times.

In short, this time, the prince was perfectly invisible and reaped the benefits.

Lu Jiangnian originally thought that after all these things happened, the Chen family should have kept a low profile, but he didn't expect that they would still dare to act so arrogantly in the name of Madam Zhaohua.

He winked at Xuan Qing, and Xuan Qing understood what he meant.

Xuan Qing snorted coldly: "The Chen family is the Chen family, what does it have to do with Madam Zhaohua? If it is Madam Zhaohua who is inside now, then we should let her go. Other irrelevant people should find their own place to go."

"It's too crowded here. There's no room for you."

The man didn't expect that these people would be so disrespectful.

Finally, the person in the carriage opened the curtain, looked into the house through the dripping rain, and happened to meet Lu Jiangnian's eyes.

The two of them are acquaintances.

The person in the carriage was Chen Zhengxuan, Chen Zhengquan’s elder brother.

This person is a magical one. He was born into a family of officials, but he never thought about entering the government. He only cared about making money.

Although he is young, he has many properties under his name and can be considered a wealthy man.

He doesn't care about anything else and is really only interested in money.

A while ago, the fifth prince got married. He was doing business in the south and didn't have time to return, but he prepared a generous gift.

Chen Zhengxuan changed his lazy demeanor and laughed: "I was wondering who it was, bringing up my aunt's name without any fear, it turned out to be the brave Lu Shizi."

"It's been a long time since we last met. Master Lu, you tend to forget things. Have you forgotten Chen?"

These people around Chen Zhengxuan were all his capable assistants who followed him around the country. They were also his confidants whom he cultivated later. They didn’t know much about the aristocratic families in the capital.

In addition, Lu Jiangnian had not often appeared in the capital for many years, so these people were short-sighted and did not see Lu Jiangnian's origins.

Lu Jiangnian didn't expect that it was Chen Zhengxuan, the only person in the Chen family that he liked.

Why do I say so?

Because this person is a real villain.

As long as the money is in place, everything can be discussed. Chen Zhengxuan doesn't like to hear hypocritical words, he only likes real money.

Once, he had something to ask Chen Zhengxuan for help. As long as he got the money, Chen Zhengxuan would do his best to do the job.

Unexpectedly, I met you here.

Lu Jiangnian smiled meaningfully: "I didn't expect to see Boss Chen here. Are you going back to Beijing?"

Chen Zhengxuan nodded and said, "That's right. I haven't been back for more than half a year. I have a business deal to discuss in Beijing."

"I didn't expect to encounter such terrible weather on the road."

He said in a gentle voice, "Master Lu, we are all acquaintances. I wonder if you could give me a favor and let me stay overnight. I will not be short of money."

Lu Jiangnian said coldly: "Boss Chen, you are joking. We are not close friends."

"I won't charge you for the room, but there really aren't that many places here. You should find another place to take shelter from the rain."

Since everyone knows each other's personality, there is no need for so many twists and turns.

Chen Zhengxuan knew that when Madam Zhaohua and the Fifth Prince were raised as banners, most people would give face to the Chen family. However, Lu Jiangnian would not be among these people.

He is the prince's childhood friend and is deeply trusted by the emperor. He does not need to give face to anyone.

"Chen will not embarrass the prince, but we are out in the wilderness and it is already dark. We don't know where the next place to take shelter from the rain is."

"Since we have worked together before, Master Lu, please make room for Chen. These people of Chen will not go in and disturb Master."

He couldn't be overwhelmed by power, couldn't match him in force, and no one wanted his money, so he could only lower his posture.

Businessmen are the best at judging the situation.

Lu Jiangnian lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, Boss Chen owes me a favor. If you need it in the future, Boss Chen should repay the favor."

Chen Zhengxuan laughed heartily: "Everyone says I'm good at business, but in fact, Master Lu is no less capable."

"Deal. As long as Chen can do it, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Yuan Wanru quietly watched the two people interacting with each other, and couldn't help but feel curious. According to Lu Jiangnian's past behavior, he should be at odds with the Chen family, but now it seems that the two of them are quite harmonious.

Lu Jiangnian glanced at her with a smile: "This person is different from Chen Zhengquan. It's not a bad thing to get a favor from him."
