Lu Zifeng shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? I'm good at other things, but doing business is really not my forte!"
Lin Yuqi just smiled at Lu Zifeng's words. It was hard for him to comment on how Lu Zifeng did business, but he knew that the current Lu family was not the same as before. Not to mention whether the rumors in Luzhou Prefecture were true, but now that the Lu family had gone to the capital and now saw Lu Zifeng here, it showed that the Lu family was not simple. What's more, who in the entire Luzhou Prefecture didn't know that Lu Zifeng's father was the second master of the Dingguo Mansion in the capital?
"I don't ask why Brother Zifeng is here, but since we've met today, it's fate for us brothers, so let's drink to our heart's content today, okay?"
After hearing what Lin Yuqi said, Lu Zifeng did not refuse and agreed with a smile. The two of them clinked glasses and drank for an hour before stopping.
"Brother Lin, are you coming to Bozhou to continue opening Qingfenglou in Bozhou Prefecture?"
Lin Yuqi shook his head with a mixture of tears and laughter, "That's not the case. Brother, you must have known about my sister before you left for the battlefield!"
Lu Zifeng nodded. "I don't know much about this. I just know that your brother-in-law is probably not a good person. I don't know anything else."
Lin Yuqi smiled bitterly.
"Indeed, my sister has divorced and returned home now."
Lu Ziyan was quite surprised to hear Lin Yuqi say this. You know, in this era, whether being divorced or divorced, it is not a good thing for women.
Seeing Lu Zifeng's shocked look, Lin Yuqi didn't care, but said softly, "My brother-in-law is not a good person. When I got the news and rushed there, my sister was almost gone. If I hadn't brought so many people with me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see my sister. Fortunately, God has eyes and let me rush there in time. The person I should thank the most is Brother Lu. If you hadn't told me that someone came to sell my sister's dowry at a low price, I'm afraid we would really lose my sister."
After Lin Yuqi explained the details, Lu Zifeng realized that Lin Yuqi's sister was almost killed by that unscrupulous husband.
It turned out that after Lin Yuqi sold the farm to Lu Zifeng, he took more than 20 guards and rushed to his sister's house. When he arrived there, he did not see his sister. In order not to alert the enemy, Lin Yuqi asked the guards to find out the news at night. Only then did he know that his brother-in-law wanted to kill his wife because of a favorite concubine. Fortunately, Lin Yuqi arrived in time. If he had arrived at night, he would probably have received the news of his sister's death.
The next day, Lin Yuqi brought people into his sister's house and rescued his sister. Lin Yuqi was smart enough to find many local families, including two families that had some grievances with his brother-in-law's family, to testify and finally let his sister divorce.
However, because Lin Yuqi's brother-in-law was a sixth-rank official and the Lin family was just a businessman, they did not dare to go too far. They just asked for an amicable divorce and went their separate ways from then on.
Hearing this, Lu Zifeng looked at Lin Yuqi and said.
"What's your brother-in-law's name, and where does he serve as an official?"
When Lin Yuqi heard Lu Zifeng ask this, he felt something in his heart. He also remembered that Lu Zifeng's identity was probably completely different from before.
"He's Zhong Renyi, the Sixth Rank Tongpan of Laizhou Prefecture. But I heard he has a backer now. I heard it's His Royal Highness Prince Qing from the capital. We can't afford to offend him."
Hearing that it was Prince Qing's men, Lu Zifeng said nothing more, but just nodded to indicate that he understood. As for Prince Qing, he would have to get rid of him sooner or later, and it seemed that Zhong Renyi would not have a good ending when the time came.
Lin Yuqi didn't see anything from Lu Zifeng's expression, but although he knew Lu Zifeng, he knew that their identities were now very different, so he was not disappointed. Since Brother Lu asked the man's name today, it meant that he remembered this person, and good news would come sooner or later.
Although Lu Zifeng was drinking with his head down, he noticed all of Lin Yuqi's expressions and was very satisfied. It seemed that Lin Yuqi was quite good and could keep his composure. If an ordinary person heard him asking about this matter at this time, he would definitely want to know whether he wanted to help them. It seemed that Lin Yuqi still knew his limits.
When the two of them finally parted ways, Lu Zifeng didn't even give a definite answer.
Lu Chun brought Lu Zifeng and Lu Xia to a small house.
"Master, I found this small house. The rent is not cheap, but the location is really good, so I took the initiative to rent it."
Lu Zifeng nodded and walked in. The house was not big. Once you entered the yard, you would see three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides. Although the yard was small, it was well-equipped and more than enough for the three of them, the master and his servant, to live in.
"Lu Chun, I've settled down. You and Lu Xia will try to contact Lieutenant General Xue's men over the next two days. Remember to be discreet and don't alert the enemy."
In fact, when Lu Zifeng first arrived, he wanted to go to the mountains to look for Prince Qing's private soldiers, but after thinking about it, he decided to find Brigadier General Xue first. After communicating with him, it would not be too late to take action.
The reason why Lu Zifeng thought this way was because of the existence of psychic powers, so he acted this way. Because his psychic powers had been upgraded and were now at the fourth level, the range he could observe was wider.
During the remaining days, Lu Zifeng either wandered around Bozhou Prefecture or sat in a restaurant or teahouse.
"Master, I just heard that Lieutenant General Xue returned home from the military camp today, and his servants have already found out." Lu Xia walked in and said.
Lu Zifeng nodded and said, "Go and make arrangements. We will go to visit Admiral Xue's home tonight."
That night, at midnight, Lu Zifeng brought Lu Chun and Lu Xia to General Xue's house.
"Is this the one?"
"Yes, Master. How about I go in and greet Admiral Xue first?"
Lu Zifeng didn't say anything but nodded in approval.
Lu Chun jumped onto the top of the wall and then jumped in. After a moment, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the yard, which then disappeared. Footsteps were heard, and the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out.
"Come in."
Lu Zifeng smiled and walked in. The middle-aged man took Lu Zifeng into the main hall and sat down as host and guest.
"I suppose you must be Lieutenant General Xue? I am Lu Zifeng, the heir of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and the nephew of the current Empress."
The reason why Lu Zifeng made this introduction was because his family had just been recognized by the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and Lieutenant General Xue who was far away in Bozhou might not know about it.
Lieutenant General Xue stood up and saluted Lu Zifeng.
"General Xue Chen greets the Duke of Dingguo."
As for Lieutenant General Xue's salute, Lu Zifeng accepted it calmly. There was no other way. Lu Zifeng, the prince of Duke Dingguo, was a first-rank official, and Lieutenant General Xue was only a fourth-rank military officer.
