Chapter 459 key figures
In the study, Lu Yun was a little as big as a fight. Not to mention that his father and son have too shallow foundations at present, and he also needs to rely on the influence of the valve master to gain a foothold in the Land Valve. Just saying that Lu Wen has colluded with the Xiahou Valve and has long regarded his father and son as thorns in his side and thorns in his flesh, he must never let Lu Wen succeed.
"Or what if you want to hand over the account book that your subordinates have returned from Qinzhou to the owner of the sergeant?" Uncle Bao said with an idea.
When Lu Yun learned from Xie Min that Lu Jian could defeat the elder, he handed over the evidence that Lu Jian could bring down the elder to his brothers who were officials in Qinzhou for safekeeping, and ordered him to make it public if something happened to him. However, after Lu Jian's death, the governor of Qinzhou was not in a state of trouble. Lu Yun judged that he should be afraid, so he sent Uncle Bao to Qinzhou and pretended to be Lu Wen's envoy. After a little intimidation, he indeed asked the other party to hand over the account book obediently.
Last month, the account book came to Lu Yun, who had studied it with Lu Xin. But he was a little disappointed. The account book did record the dirty transactions between Lu Jian and Lu Wen, and the time and amount of each transaction, in detail, but lacked decisive evidence - such as the receipt signed by Lu Wen.
Publicizing this account book can certainly cause an uproar and cause serious doubts from the Great Elder to be questioned. However, if no evidence can be found, the Great Elder can be shameless and refuse to admit it. Even if Lu Shang takes the opportunity to attack and order people to find out the matter, it will not be revealed within a few months.
A few months were enough to allow the Great Elder to secretly transfer property and destroy evidence. Moreover, Lu Yun and Lu Xin’s current situation could not wait for that long time... So for a long-term plan, he did not hand over the account book to anyone.
After listening to Uncle Bao’s proposal, Lu Yun pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled: "I guess the old master is already an ant on the hot pan at this moment. Let's make him anxious for two more days. Let's go to help him in time..."
"Sentence-based help?" Uncle Bao looked at Lu Yun with disbelief.
"Okay, it's a robbery." Lu Yun raised the teacup and gently touched the cup with Uncle Bao and said, "This time, we will do our best to do our best."

A Luo River divides the Luo Capital into north and south. Compared with the spacious streets, with rich doors and high walls and houses, the Luonan fangs are much more cramped and crowded. The more you go south, the more serious it becomes. When you arrive in Gong'anfang in the southwest corner of the city, the streets that were originally quite wide were built by shacks and thatched cottages built by various households, and most of the pigpens and chicken coops were occupied. The whole street was filled with sewage and smelly.
A middle-aged man wearing a blue lake silk cotton jacket, fox fur eared bun, dressed in a housekeeper, was holding a gift box in one hand, covering his nose with the other, frowned, tiptoed, and walked carefully on the dirty ground. After a while, he stood in front of a house in Kishimitou, and shouted a few times in his throat.
"Sixteenth Master, Sixteenth Master..."
Unable to hear the response, the butler had to push open the dilapidated wooden door, pass through the narrow and deserted courtyard, and lift the curtain of the main hall.
The black oily door curtain, which was originally colorless, was lifted up a corner, and a choking smell of medicine mixed with the inferior charcoal smell came to the face, causing the housekeeper to cough repeatedly.
"I don't want money, I'm going to die, cough cough..." On the kang in the house, a sick middle-aged man was tilted. When he heard the cough, he didn't raise his head or open his eyes, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. "See what's worth, just take it..."
The butler took out a veil to cover his mouth and looked down at the house. It was really a barren house. How could there be a valuable house?
"Haha, Master Sixteen is really... free and easy." The housekeeper walked to the kang, pushed the medicine bowl and rice bowl on the kang table, and put the gift in his hand. "The villain was not here to ask for debts, but to visit Master Sixteen on the order of my master."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man heard the sound, opened a crack and caught a glimpse of the gift box in the butler's hand. His eyes lit up immediately. He sat up and did not be polite to the other party. He then lifted the lid of the box, grabbed the snacks inside, tore open the oil paper bag, and ate it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that he hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, the butler sighed, picked up the broken copper pot on the stove, first washed the dirty porcelain bowl with hot water, and then poured water for the middle-aged man.
"Drink some water, don't choke..." The butler said with red eyes: "If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe anything I said. The Sixteenth Master of Land Valor can actually live like this."
The middle-aged man looked indifferent and was only concerned about eating hard. Until he ate eight snacks without leaving any left, he suddenly stood there.
I saw eight yellow gold ingots neatly placed at the bottom of the gift box.
"It's the end of the year. My master knows that it's not easy for Master Sixteen, so I'll give you some money." The housekeeper nodded with a smile. "This money is just to let Master Sixteen celebrate the New Year. In the future, my master will still give you wealth."
The middle-aged man stared at Jin Yuanbao for a while, and reached out to touch the stubble covered with desserts, looked at the butler suspiciously and said, "Are you from the Great Elder's home?"
"The Sixteenth Master is really a memory. The villain is the manager of the Great Elder's Mansion, named Zhang Chao." The housekeeper Zhang Chao replied with a smile.
"I, Lu Zhong, have been driven to this rat nest for many years, and no one has ever asked me about it?" The middle-aged man, Lu Zhong, coughed again, hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank a few sips of water, and then said with a gloomy face: "How come the Great Elder think of me, a useless man?"
"Haha, this little man doesn't know." Zhang Chao smiled and said, "The elder only asked the little man to come to comfort Master Sixteen, and asked Master Sixteen to come and talk to him when it's convenient for him."
"Well, I understand." Lu Zhong nodded, sat at the kang table with a big sword, closed his eyes slightly and pondered: "You go back first."
"Okay, please don't delay the Sixteenth Master. My master is still waiting." Seeing that Lu Zhong had just filled his stomach, he put on the stinking airs of his children from aristocratic families, Zhang Chao felt sick and bowed slightly and said goodbye.
.
In the room, Lu Zhong weighed the gold ingots and started to think about it, which had been frozen for a long time. He really couldn't figure it out. The elder of this family actually had something to ask for, as a useless person?
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong smiled and said to himself: "What do you think so much? I'm just a terrible life, are you afraid that he will plot against me?"
Thinking of this, he stretched his waist and moved to the edge of the kang, trying to put his shoes on the floor, but suddenly remembered that the only pair of cotton boots he had left was taken away by the debt collector earlier.
"Master, I won't even let go of my broken boots." Lu Zhong spat with thick phlegm and stopped falling into the ground. He leaned lazily on the kang with his legs raised, just waiting for the creditor to come to the door.
Sure enough, after a while, a few neighbors came in. Just now, as soon as Manager Zhang entered Lu Zhong's house, they saw it and naturally saw the gift box in Manager Zhang's hand. As soon as the customer left, several creditors rushed to the door, fearing that someone would rob him first.
"Old Sixteen, someone has given you a gift. Can't you say you have no money this time, right?"
"That's right, you have to pay for this year's meals, otherwise who will care about your meal next year?"
"Lu Zhong, you owe me almost five years, you have to pay it back first!"
As several neighbors were talking, they were about to go up and grab the gift box that was valuable at first sight.
Lu Zhong took the gift box away from the eyes of several people and sneered: "Don't worry, no one can escape it."
As he said that, he took out the gold ingot from the gift box and threw one out of each person.
