Chapter 206 There is only one answer
That day, when Lu Shijie was sitting in a carriage and wandering around the gate of Lan Mansion, he asked Daman to tell Lu Shijie that if he was not obedient and tried to cause trouble, Lu Hu's legs would be broken as soon as he entered the gate of Lan Mansion.
No matter how unwilling Lu Shijie was, his son's legs were more important.
Finally, he had to leave from the gate of Lan Mansion.
He had already arranged everything.
On the way, Lu Shijie met a colleague with whom he had a good relationship in the Ministry of Revenue.
When he saw Lu Shijie's carriage, he greeted him and did not mock him like others did.
Instead, he felt very sympathetic towards Lu Shijie and even invited him to drink.
Lu Shijie was already full of anger and didn't want to go home.
After I got home, the woman at home was crying again, which was annoying to look at.
The two of them made an appointment to go to Yongchun Tower and ordered a table full of food and wine.
After a few drinks, Lu Shijie couldn't hold it in any longer, so he pulled his colleague over and started complaining.
In his words, the Lu family and his son Lu Hu were naturally not wrong, and it was others who were wrong.
Qianjin Gambling House is cruel and ruthless.
My son’s bad friends are not good people and have led his son astray.
Lu Zhenzhen, this evil girl, has no gratitude for giving birth to her.
Fu Zhiyi, the son-in-law, is too arrogant and selfless.
Anyway, Lu Shijie is the most pitiful, innocent and unlucky person in the world.
His colleagues followed his words and cursed the gambling house and Land Rover's cronies.
As for Lu Zhenzhen and Fu Zhiyi, he just passed them over vaguely.
Just these two words of agreement moved Lu Shijie so much that he wanted to swear brotherhood with his colleague on the spot.
After drinking a few more glasses and seeing Lu Shijie sighing, his colleague asked him what his plans were next.
My married daughter and son-in-law are no longer reliable. Should I continue to stay in the capital, in the Ministry of Rites?
Lu Shijie was also feeling depressed. He knew that he could not rely on Lu Zhenzhen and the Ningping Marquisate, let alone the Lan family.
But he is not willing to give in!
No one would be willing to accept this!
With such connections and such in-laws, he didn't get any benefit at all.
But if he didn't leave the capital, would he continue to waste time in the Ministry of Rites, being bullied by his superiors? Would he live a life of mediocrity?
Lu Shijie was confused.
At this time, the colleague hesitated for a while before speaking.
But there is another way, it depends on whether Lu Shijie is willing to leave the capital.
That colleague said that he recently heard that the Ministry of Revenue was going to select a group of officials for relocation to other places, and that some of the places they were being relocated to were quite prosperous.
Many officials who see no hope of promotion are trying to use their connections to get a position in a remote position.
He has been active recently, hoping to be transferred to a wealthy place to be a prefect or something, which would be better than staying in the capital and having to live frugally with his family.
However, his colleagues soon realized that they had spoken out of turn and said that Lu Shijie was not as good as him and that he had no connections, so he wanted to try his luck by being sent out.
As for Lu Shijie, he had a relative in the Marquis's mansion, and his daughter even recognized the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue as her adoptive father.
Although the relationship between father and daughter is not good now, they are still a family after all, and maybe they can reconcile in the future.
After saying this, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Lu Shijie was left alone, but he took these words to heart.
I was still hesitating, but the next day after I returned, the Land Rover was sent back by the people from Qianjin Casino.
Although his legs were not broken, he suffered a lot. He was beaten a lot and was not given proper meals. After a few days, he became very thin due to hunger.
That would have been fine, but the people from Qianjin Gambling House said that even though they had to pay the principal of 7,000 taels, they still had to pay 2,000 taels of interest.
Give them a month. If they don’t pay, don’t blame them for not giving face to the Ningping Marquis’ Mansion.
The Lu family looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that there was still two thousand taels of interest.
Lu Shijie originally wanted to beat up Lu Hu, but seeing Lu Hu's look, how could he bring himself to do it?
What's more, with Wang protecting him, he could only curse a few words and let the matter go.
From then on, people from the Qianjin Casino would hang around the door every day, as if they were afraid that they would run away.
I don’t know what the Lu family discussed, but Lu Shijie has been asking about the matter of being sent abroad these days.
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhen understood everything. Fu Zhiyi was setting a trap for the Lu family to fall into.
I want them to stay away from the capital.
How can one not be moved by such a thoughtful gesture?
Lu Zhenzhen happily hugged Fu Zhiyi's neck and kissed his face, "Thank you, Fourth Master!"
Fu Zhiyi's eyes dimmed, and he held down the man who wanted to run away after a kiss. He bullied him mercilessly before looking up with a reluctant look: "This is the only way to show your sincerity!"
Lu Zhenzhen's lips were red and swollen, and she glanced at him with watery eyes.
After calming his breath, he said, "Do you really want to send the Lu family out? I'm afraid that after he is sent out, he will also be a corrupt official, and then the people will suffer again."
Wouldn't that be a grave sin?
Fu Zhiyi caressed Lu Zhenzhen's cheek again before saying, "There is indeed an extremely wealthy place in this exile, the Pingjiang Prefecture. It's a place everyone wants to go, but it's not a place that ordinary people can go to."
He wanted to keep it a secret, but Lu Zhenzhen winked at him, and he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he immediately revealed everything.
"Although Pingjiang Prefecture is wealthy, the local situation is complex. No official has ever been able to complete their term. It takes a year or half a year before something goes wrong. At the very least, they'll be dismissed from their posts, and at the worst, their property will be confiscated and their clan will be exterminated—"
Since this was a matter of great importance to the imperial court, Fu Zhiyi only said this vaguely.
This is enough to make people understand that Pingjiang Prefecture looks very popular, but that position is so hot that ordinary people can't handle it.
With Lu Shijie's ability, I think he is just going to get killed!
Lu Zhenzhen knew it very well.
This is good. Lu Shijie was dismissed from his post and his family has no hope. As a commoner, it is very difficult for him to return to the capital from Pingjiang Prefecture.
That's good.
I was just about to praise Fu Zhiyi.
Who knew Fu Zhiyi would have more to say: "In the next two days, I think the Lu family will come knocking on my door. I will agree to help him get this position, but the only condition is that the Lu family signs a letter of severance, completely severing ties with you! From now on, no matter whether the Lu family is good or bad, it will have nothing to do with you!"
This is Fu Zhiyi’s real purpose, to completely sever ties with the Lu family.
Lu Zhenzhen thought to herself, this is the correct way to open the big villain later.
You should know that in the book, the villain Fu Zhiyi is best at planning three steps ahead, completely cutting off the retreat and hidden dangers, leaving no room for gossip or loopholes.
She rubbed herself affectionately in Fu Zhiyi's arms and kissed his face, Lu Zhenzhen smiling so hard that her teeth were exposed.
It’s so great to have a husband who thinks of you and arranges everything for you!
It’s just around the corner for me to win easily by following him for the rest of my life!
However, Lu Zhenzhen thought of something and looked at Fu Zhiyi suspiciously: "Is my adoptive father also involved in this?"
Given Fu Zhiyi's current status, it was already a great achievement for him to know that the position of prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture was vacant. How could he know the local situation?
What's more, it would be difficult to get a position like the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture among so many people.
Fu Zhiyi said it so easily, so he must have sought external help.
It's probably impossible for the old marquis to do that. He won't spend so much effort and connections just to solve Lu Zhenzhen's worries.
Among the others, the Sixth Prince is still just a prince, and I think he would not dare to get involved in such a taboo matter as the imperial court's appointment.
Then there is only one answer, and that is Minister Lan who has power and connections!
