Chapter 379 Not an Ordinary Person
Lu Yechen's current identity is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It is not convenient for him to talk to Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao in public when he is out, so he just said a few brief words and invited them on board.
A long time ago, the emperor had instructed him to arrange someone to protect Su Xueyi and the others.
This time he was also out on business and happened to pass by here.
I also stayed here for a few days, wondering if I could take Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao to the capital.
The emperor has instructed them to protect the safety of Su Xueyi and the others.
So his people also got the news, and he knew that Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao should be on their way to Beijing.
Just in time to pick up the people, the ship can set sail and return to Beijing quickly.
Lu Yechen's attitude towards Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi slapped everyone in the face.
Even the county magistrate, who had been so arrogant before, turned pale.
The nobles and royal family members in the capital were afraid of the Jinyiwei, let alone people like them.
The county magistrate's son dared not say another word.
The reversal just now really slapped everyone in the face.
In this way, Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi boarded the boat.
Jinyiwei came to help pull their carriages onto the boat.
Everyone at the dock looked on as if they had been struck by lightning.
Everyone was afraid and didn't dare to say a word.
Boss Zhu sat down on the ground, his body trembling.
But he came to his senses, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up tremblingly, ran to Boss Guo and said, "Boss Guo, what should we do?"
"Boss Guo, we have been friends for many years. You must help me. Save me."
How could he have known that the two men just now actually knew the Jinyiwei and were being protected by the Jinyiwei commander.
If I had known this earlier, I would never have dared to offend him no matter what.
Boss Guo frowned and said, "Do you know who you have offended? Even I can't speak for you. Mr. Su and Boss Shen are not ordinary people."
"What on earth did you do?"
Boss Zhu didn't dare to hide anything at this time and could only tell the whole story.
"They booked a boat yesterday, but as you know, there are a lot of people coming to Beijing right now, and many people are booking and renting boats. This morning, the son of the Jiang family's county magistrate also wanted to rent a boat, so I transferred the boat they originally booked to the son of the county magistrate, so this morning they..."
Boss Zhu explained the matter in detail.
Boss Guo had originally looked calm, but after hearing this, his eyes became sharp.
He said, "Old Zhu, you also know the rules of our industry. Although we are businessmen, we should also know how to do things in a sustainable way and follow the rules. You discriminate against ordinary people just to cling to power. How can you know if they have any status behind them? Will they become powerful in the future?"
This also reminded Boss Guo of his past.
He was once full of talent, but was discriminated against because of his humble background.
If he hadn't met his young master later, he might have been beaten to death.
So when Boss Guo does his own business, even though he has power in his hands, he still abides by the rules and regulations.
“You must know that there are always people who are better than you and there are always things that are better than you.”
"Even I can't help you with what you did this time."
"Old Zhu, let's not do business with each other anymore."
Boss Guo shook his head as he spoke.
The color drained from Boss Zhu's face, his eyes widened, and he trembled with fear. "Boss Guo, you must help me."
Boss Guo shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare offend people like them. Believe it or not, even my son or even the governor wouldn't dare say a single shameful word to them."
"And that son of the county magistrate is really bringing shame to the Lu family. If the Lu family knew what they did, he might not even be able to serve as the county magistrate. He's just a bastard, huh."
Boss Guo snorted coldly, turned around, got on the carriage and left.
Boss Zhu sat down on the ground and couldn't help crying.
There's quite a commotion here.
But Magistrate Nalu returned to the dock from outside and, upon learning what had happened, slapped his son in the face and asked, "Did you cause me trouble?"
The county magistrate's son covered his face and looked at his angry father and said, "Dad, I, I didn't know they had any background. I think they are just ordinary untouchables..."
“Snap!”
The young man kept calling the boy a pariah, and was slapped to the ground by his father.
"You are trying to kill me. If I had known I would go to Beijing, I would never have brought you with me."
"Idiot, you idiot."
Magistrate Nalu was shaking with anger.
At the same time, he was also afraid.
He was born out of wedlock and had no status in the Lu family.
If he had not been so careful and diligent in his work over the years, he would not have been able to get the position of county magistrate through connections.
He worked hard to achieve political achievements and was about to be promoted when he went to Beijing to report his position. However, he never expected that his son would offend someone whom even he dared not offend.
If he is familiar with the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it means he has some relationship with the emperor.
What's more, from what we just heard, Boss Guo was very respectful to them.
The county magistrate's son covered his aching face and said with some fear, "I don't know either. They won't tell me anything, and I don't know their identities. If I had known they were important, I would have given them the boat instead of stealing it."
County Magistrate Lu had some things to do here, so he asked his son to take people to rent a boat.
The county magistrate's son was born of a legitimate wife, but he had a younger brother who was born of a concubine and was born to his father's concubine.
His father always compared him with his younger brother, and thought his younger brother was better in both knowledge and handling of affairs.
He was resentful and secretly jealous, but at the same time, his father might also be a bastard, and he understood that the status of a bastard was not good, so he also paid a little attention to him.
So he thought about what his father asked him to do, and he must do it well.
I never thought I would hit the wall.
County Magistrate Lu was shaking with anger. "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have brought you to the capital. Your brother is a prudent man, not like you."
County Magistrate Lu felt that this matter could not be left like this.
He said, "Come here, send him back. We won't be bringing him to the capital this time. Steward Lin, send him back and bring Hong'er to the capital."
No matter how much the county magistrate cried and begged for mercy, it was of no use.
Later, he was taken away by the housekeeper and his men in a forceful manner.
The people around who saw this scene were even more shocked.
Boss Zhu was so frightened that he fainted.
…
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi had no idea about this episode.
They sat on the boat, looking at the scenery along the river, and felt refreshed.
Lu Yechen looked at the calm expressions of Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi, and knew that his identity could not be hidden from them.
"Brother Su, Madam Su, please forgive me. I had offended many people by concealing my identity before, but I had no choice at the time. Later, I left the town and returned to the capital to work for the emperor. That's how I became an Imperial Guard."
Su Xueyi said, "Brother Lu, you're too polite. These are just trivial matters. Everyone has helpless moments, and it's normal to conceal one's identity to protect oneself."
Shen Yueyao waved her hand and said, “They are just trivial matters.”
Lu Yechen helped pour the tea and said, "Speaking of which, I also have to thank Madam Su. If Madam Su hadn't helped heal my hand, I wouldn't be able to fight now, let alone become the commander of the Jinyiwei."
Lu Yechen was very grateful to Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi.
He offered them a toast of tea and wine.
As we talked like this, we became familiar with each other again.
Lu Yechen stayed in the Su family for a period of time back then.
When talking about the Su family's food, Lu Yechen had endless aftertastes.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, “In that case, let’s take advantage of this weather and eat hot pot. It’s still warm.”
Lu Yechen had no idea how to eat hot pot.
Shen Yueyao took out the pot and charcoal from the carriage.
It is a small boiler with charcoal underneath. You can light the charcoal and eat it. It is very convenient.
She said she took it from the carriage, but it was just a trick. Shen Yueyao took it directly from the space.
Lu Yechen was very happy and naturally willing to eat the food made by Shen Yueyao.
Everything is delicious.
At this moment, he had a smile on his face, and a look of anticipation on his face.
Strangely, in front of Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao, Lu Yechen's tense spirit couldn't help but relax.
There is a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
