Chapter 103: Getting Sucked in Again
Everything is in the box, there is no need to go back to the inn to get it, it is just a waste of a day's rent.
When they arrived at Lu Mansion, the servant guarding the door hurriedly greeted him: "Second Young Master, you are back. I asked you to go to the study to find him after you come back."
Lu Kun nodded: "Go and clean out the unused wing next to me. My friend will stay here for a few days."
"Yes." The servant responded and hurriedly went to do it.
After the servant left, Lu Kun asked, "Brother Huang, will you come with me to meet my father?"
"You should." When you come to the Lu Mansion to make trouble, you will inevitably have to meet Lu Kun's parents, morning and night.
The light in the study was on, and the steward was waiting outside. Seeing someone following Lu Kun, he asked, "Second Young Master, who is this?"
Lu Kun introduced: "Huang Feng, he is the one who helped me catch the framer today. Moreover, Brother Huang and Princess Changning are friends and will stay in the house for a while."
"Who is traveling with the princess from Cangzhou?" Upon hearing this, the steward quickly said to Huang Feng, "Thank you very much, sir, for your help. I will go and tell the master right now. Wait a moment."
Not long after the steward entered the room, he came out and said, "Master, please come quickly."
Huang Feng and Lu Kun went in and saw a tall, straight, slightly thin, middle-aged man with bright eyes standing behind the desk in the study. Although he was dressed in casual clothes, he looked like he had been in a high position for a long time and had an imposing manner. Full.
Huang Feng was not rude and said respectfully: "Junior Huang Feng, I have met Mr. Lu."
Lu Shouyan was kind: "No need to be polite, I also want to thank you for saving me from the siege. If you want to live in the Lu Mansion for a while, it would be too polite to call me 'Sir' every time you see me."
"Then I'll call you Uncle Lu." Huang Feng said with a smile.
That's what he said, but he also knew in his heart that if he just helped Lu Kun, Lu Shouyan didn't have to be so polite and might still have some doubts. The key was that he and Li Motang knew each other.
"This is the best." Lu Shouyan nodded, "When I gave Lu Kun the word 'foreign knowledge', I hoped that he would know the future. Who would have thought that this kid is still living in a muddle and almost causing disaster."
Lu Kun smiled bitterly: "Dad, you don't have to be so serious in front of my friends, right?"
"I'm talking lightly." Lu Shouyan snorted coldly. Facing Huang Feng, he looked kindly and said, "I'll have someone take you to the wing to rest."
"What about me?" Lu Kun asked from the side.
Lu Shouyan said in a deep voice: "You? Just stand there, I haven't finished training you yet."
Huang Feng knew that training might be necessary, but most of the time the father and son had something to say: "Thank you, Uncle Lu. I will leave first, then."
"Go." Lu Shouyan called the steward in and asked him to take Huang Feng to the wing.
As a result, before Huang Feng could step out of the study door, someone in the mansion was shouting and running this way: "Dad, is the second brother back yet? Something happened, the Minister of War..."
When he ran closer, he realized there was an outsider and quickly shut up.
Judging from the title, he knew that he was the third son of the Lu family and Lu Kun's younger brother.
Judging from his youthful appearance, he should be around twenty-eight years old. He moves like a dragon and moves like a tiger, and is full of energy.
Huang Feng looked at his cultivation. He had probably been in the realm of transformation for some time. Although he was not as good as geniuses like Li Motang and Guan Taixu, he was still very talented.
"There's someone there." Lu Yao scratched his head and started to pretend to be dumbfounded.
Lu Shouyan shook his head helplessly. Of the three sons, only the eldest son was upright and rigorous in everything he did. He was like him both as an official and as a person. The other two sons had personalities that followed his wife's, not his!
"It's probably no secret that you are making such noise. Huang Feng helped your second brother today, and he is not considered an outsider in the Lu Mansion. I'll let your second brother introduce him later, and let's talk about what's going on."
Lu Yao glanced at Huang Feng and said quickly: "Oh, Feng Ye, the son of Master Feng, the Minister of War, is dead!"
"How did you die?" Lu Shouyan asked in a deep voice.
Lu Yao said: "It seems that he smoked millet seeds in Manxiang Tower and fell from a high place to death while in a state of ecstasy."
Huang Feng suddenly said from the side: "What a coincidence?"
"Coincidentally? What do you mean?" Lu Yao was confused.
Lu Kun thought for a while and suddenly took a breath of cold air: "Hey...it can't be a serial conspiracy, right? If Feng Ye died because of smoking millet seeds, and I was caught carrying millet seeds and reported to His Majesty at the same time, His Majesty would be furious. , If a small punishment turns into a big punishment, our family may not only lose their hair, but also their heads.”
"So poisonous?" Lu Yao was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, he became a little puzzled, "If it is really a chain plan, second brother, if you have broken this link, the subsequent plans should be stopped."
Lu Kun shook his head: "Not necessarily. Mr. Feng, the Minister of War, is on dad's side. Although the chain plan failed and we were not dealt with together, if we can get rid of Mr. Feng first, it can be considered a success.
This is not only a challenge and warning to our family, but also directly deprives my father of one person to help him in the court. No... more than one person. Others who are close to my father will probably have to wait and see. "
Huang Feng just said "coincidentally" and said nothing more.
Lu Shouyan saw this and interrupted the discussion between his two sons: "Okay, you two, stop guessing. Feng Ye's death is not a trivial matter. Not only the Ministry of Punishment, but also Dali Temple will be involved in the investigation. Everything will be based on evidence."
At this time, someone came to report the news to Lu Shouyan, and it was about Feng Ye.
Feng Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, and people from the Ministry of Punishment have arrived at Manxiang Tower and are investigating.
"Dad, do you want to go take a look?" Lu Yao said from the side, "I don't think those people in the Criminal Department are trustworthy."
"Let's go and take a look." Lu Shouyan was still hesitating. As the Dali Temple Minister, he couldn't act rashly, but since Feng Jie had gone, he could naturally go to see his old friend, comfort him, and then ask about the case later.
Huang Feng heard them say this and was about to slip away: "Then I will..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Kun grabbed his arm directly: "Brother Huang, you come with us."
After saying that, he did not forget to introduce Lu Shouyan: "Dad, Brother Huang is in Cangzhou..."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Lu Shouyan directly: "I know better than you, but he is not a public official..."
Lu Kun interrupted: "Neither am I!"
"Shut up!"
"Uh..."
Huang Feng found that the father and son kept interrupting each other, and Lu Yao and the manager didn't react. It seemed that they had long been accustomed to it, and he couldn't help but find it interesting.
"Huang Feng is not a member of the government, so you can go with us, but don't ask easily. After all, this is the capital, not Cangzhou."
Huang Feng could tell that Lu Shouyan's words were well-intentioned. He warned him that the forces in the capital were complicated and there was no benefit in wading into muddy water easily. He was also reminding him that if he found anything, he could tell them in private.
But he didn't want to go at all!
But it would be a bit rude to refuse at this time, so he had to go with them.
Sitting in the carriage, Huang Feng regretted it so much. He agreed to stay here for a few days, and Lu Kun would be his tour guide. He didn't expect to be involved in trouble.
What's the difference between this and him contacting Li Motang directly? Depressed!
The carriage stopped not long after it started, and the driver reported outside: "Sir, we have arrived at Manxiang Tower."
