Chapter 1965 The Three Brothers of the Mei Family
"Please help me, sir!"
Master Lu II kept begging and hinting that although Lu Xianyun was his concubine's daughter, she had been carefully educated since childhood, knew etiquette, was literate and good at calligraphy and painting. If she married into the family, the Lu family would definitely not be stingy and would definitely give her a dowry...
Since Master Lu dared to say this in front of Shao Yunduan, the dowry must not be just a little, it must be very generous. Otherwise, he would not be able to say it in front of the prefect!
Shao Yunduan listened with disgust, but remained calm. He ordered his men to send Master Lu out without giving any further explanation.
The prefectural yamen today is different from before. It is not a place where anyone can act wildly and cheat as they please. Even though Master Lu was very unwilling, he did not dare to make trouble anymore. He left with a gloomy look in his eyes.
This person's psychological quality is also extremely strong.
When he left Shao Yunduan, he still had a dejected and gloomy look on his face, but when he arrived at the yamen gate, he regained his appearance of a wealthy and elegant master with a calm and elegant manners.
It seemed as if he was having a very pleasant conversation with Lord Shao.
If you don’t know, you would think he is very satisfied!
Master Lu Er did not go home directly. Instead, the carriage circled the street, found a secluded alley with few people, and turned many turns, and quietly entered through the corner door at the back of the Mei Mansion.
The three masters of the Mei family were all at home, and they seemed to be waiting for him.
"How about it?"
"how?"
Master Lu smiled bitterly...
"What did you say?"
Under the interrogation of the three Mei brothers, Master Lu recounted in detail the process of meeting Shao Yunduan.
The more the three brothers of the Mei family listened, the uglier their faces looked. Master Lu, the second uncle of Master Mei, has always been a little afraid of his brother-in-law. Moreover, the strength of the Mei family was much stronger than that of the Lu family. Looking at this situation, he couldn't help feeling uneasy and puzzled.
But he didn't dare to say anything more, let alone ask.
"This Lord Shao is really something. He doesn't like anything. So what kind of person does he want?"
"Oh, you want someone like Madam Shao, right? But I don't think there's anything good about Madam Shao."
"What do we do now?"
The three Mei brothers were all very depressed.
Master Lu looked at this and that, and tentatively smiled and said, "How about I forget about this matter? Since Lord Shao has already clarified it, I don't think anyone would dare to say anything. Besides, Lord Shao said he would compensate--"
"What do you know!"
Master Mei San interrupted him unhappily.
Clarify? Who asked him to clarify? They just wanted the rumor to spread more and more!
Compensation? Oh, what's the use of this kind of compensation! It's not that they don't believe Shao Yunduan, but they know very well that what they want is not just this.
Master Lu Er stopped talking. He silently complained in his heart, thinking that even before the Fan family fell, the three major families in Anzezhou City were headed by the Mei family. Especially in the past few years, the Mei family has been thriving and prosperous. What is there to be afraid of?
If Lord Shao wants to govern Anzezhou City well and develop the local economy and government, he has to rely on the major families.
The Fan family has already been wiped out. If he deliberately harms the Mei family for no reason, won’t he worry that the other big families will feel that their teeth are in danger?
By then, if the local area is unstable, he, as the local official, will not be able to work in peace!
He's not that stupid, is he?
I really don’t know what they are thinking.
