Chapter 15 Attack at the Door
Chapter 15
Zhao Wenkuan angrily returned to the Zhao Mansion with two other allies who were also impeached. He had a serious look on his face. He never expected that provoking Lu Desheng would lead to such strong revenge.
"This old guy Lu Desheng has definitely been planning this for a long time." Zhao Zhi pointed out in a dull voice.
"Yes, who knows where he got all this evidence!" Shi Danqing was also depressed. There were things they had committed, but the evidence had been wiped out, and they were not even remembered, and they were discovered.
"He should have collected some evidence a long time ago." After Zhao Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Shi Danqing who was looking over. This was obvious. The eldest daughter of the Zhao family had a good relationship with the second daughter of the Lu family. Even if Lu Desheng took the When these evidences arrived, they were kept at the bottom of the box and were not brought out to criticize the Zhao family.
Even though Zhao Wenkuan didn't say anything about the current situation, they have eyes and can see it. On the surface, the Zhao family and the Lu family turned against each other because of the quarrel between their daughters. But in fact, it involves the Zhao family's choice of in-laws and the replacement of allies. The Zhao family abandoned Qin in favor of Xie, which was already a very obvious approach. It depends on whether the Zhao family can succeed next.
Zhao Wenkuan gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, let's survive this wave first. The Emperor will not let him continue to mess around."
Zhao Zhi and Shi Danqing looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. When they heard this, they knew that Mr. Zhao didn't understand Lu Desheng, right? Are you a layman? Capturing the big ones and letting go the small ones, advancing and retreating in a well-founded manner, and being very precise. This is what is terrifying about Lu Desheng, and it is also the reason why he has been favored by the Holy Spirit since he came to power.
In other words, in the next period of time, Mr. Zhao does not have to worry about his Zhao family being impeached by Lu Desheng again. Because he is not interested in those little shrimps.
Zhao Wenkuan chatted with Zhao Zhi and Shi Danyang for a while, calmed them down, and then sent them away. After sending the person away, he thought about it and turned around and went to the backyard.
Zhao's backyard
"Mom, is the carriage ready? Will Lu Songli really go to Xu's house today?" Zhao Yutan asked.
Luo Shi replied, "Don't worry, mother has made arrangements, she will definitely go."
Zhao Yutan lowered her head and thought about what she should say and do when she saw Lu Songli.
At this moment, the news that her father had been demoted by half a rank and retained by the impeachment officer Lu Desheng first spread back to the government. Zhao Yutan was stunned for a moment. How could this happen? ! Her father was a third-rank minister of Honglu who held real power. Lu Desheng was a small fifth-rank censor in the censor's office. There were many censors like him in the censor's office. But it just happened. Once Lu Desheng was impeached, her father lost half his rank!
It wasn't until this moment that she truly realized how terrifying it was to offend a favored censor.
Zhao Yutan had just come to her senses when she heard her mother say with a sad face, "In addition to your father, there are two uncles who were also impeached by him."
Zhao Yutan became anxious when he heard this, "The Lu family has really gone too far. I will go find her!"
Zhao Wenkuan, who came to the backyard, happened to hear his daughter's words and immediately said, "Go, you must go!" The Zhao family and the Lu family were destined to be unable to turn their hostility into friendship. Let's see that this time Lu Desheng showed no mercy to the Zhao family. He used real swords and guns to bleed their Zhao family.
Anyway, it's like this, it's better to put it to death and survive.
Zhao Wenkuan said angrily, "The marriage with the Xie family must be completed!" Otherwise, he will not succeed in stealing the chicken and will cause a lot of trouble! What a loss.
The father and daughter looked at each other, Zhao Yutan nodded solemnly, and she gave up. But she didn't feel happy in her heart. She had come to this point and used such a method to make herself unable to retreat. In fact, wasn't this a kind of failure? It also means that they lost this confrontation.
"Mom, I'm leaving now." In fact, it was useless to go early. The news they received was that Lu Songli was going to visit her eldest sister in the afternoon, and it was very likely that she hadn't set off yet. But Zhao Yutan would rather wait, so that he would feel better.
After saying that, Zhao Wenkuan wanted to go back to the front yard, "Go ahead, go back early." Before leaving, Zhao Wenkuan asked again, "Does the Lu family have any clues?"
Zhao Yutan shook his head, Lu Desheng was like the stone in the pit, smelly and hard.
"Have you had a good rest recently?"
Zhao Yutan shook her head. She knew that her father was asking if she had had any precognitive dreams recently.
Zhao Wenkuan left with disappointment.
Zhao Yutan bit her lip, why was her father so worried? All they had to do was find a way to pair Lu Songli and Qin Sheng, and the Lu family would be tied to the Qin family. When the Qin family committed crimes and were detained and exiled three or four months later, the Lu family would not be spared either. The bottom line is that her father didn't quite believe in her precognitive dreams.

At the beginning of noon, the carriage driven by Lu Desheng slowly entered Chongwen Street compared to Zhao Wenkuan who had arrived home earlier. When Lu Desheng returned home, he just opened the carriage door curtain and saw his wife standing at the gate to greet him. He was very happy.
As soon as she saw her father's rosy face, Lu Songli knew she was safe. She ran up to him, raised her head and asked him, "Dad, did you win?"
When Lu Desheng heard this, he was not in a hurry to get out of the car, "Of course! Those people in the Zhao family are just chickens and dogs, and they are no match for my combined strength!"
Lu Songli gave him a thumbs up, "Dad is great."
"It's just so-so." After saying this, he motioned to his daughter to stand aside a little, and he was about to come down.
At this moment, the situation suddenly changed. Lu Songli had good eyesight and could see something was wrong at a glance. She subconsciously reached out and pushed her father back into the carriage, "Dad, be careful!"
At the same time, a loud shout sounded like thunder, "Lu Desheng, you dog officer who harmed Zhongliang, go to hell!"
After Lu Songli pushed her father into the carriage, she saw something coming towards them from several directions. She immediately turned sideways and hid on the side of the carriage, and at the same time ordered in a cold voice, "Go after him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several male servants at the door of Lu's house were already chasing the suspicious people.
In fact, when the accident first occurred, there were already several vigorous figures chasing him from all directions.
Bang! Lu Songli took a closer look and realized that the unknown objects were just rotten eggs. They were now smashed on the walls and roof of the carriage, exuding a soul-destroying smell. She had dodged quickly enough, but the rotten egg liquid that was hit on the carriage splashed onto her dress. Damn, it’s not very harmful, but it’s extremely insulting!
After a wave of attacks, she waited for a while and then looked around to make sure nothing was coming towards them. She walked to the carriage and opened the door curtain for her father, "Dad, it's okay. Come on, come down."
At this time, Mrs. Jiang also rushed up, "Master, Ah Li, are you okay?"
Lu Songli gave way to her mother, and she said to the driver beside her, "Uncle Li, you have worked hard today. You will go to the accounting office to get an extra month's monthly payment later. Tell the accounting office that you will get an extra month from me." "Fortunately, the old Li Tou who was driving the carriage was good at controlling the horse when those rotten eggs hit him. The horse was only slightly frightened and raised its hooves.
"Ah, okay." Old Li Tou didn't expect that his second lady would remember his name and call him Uncle Li. He is still a little confused now, and he was subconsciously controlling the horse just now.
She nodded to Old Li, then turned to Butler Chen and ordered, "After you catch him, give me a discount first!"
In the face of this unexpected situation, Butler Chen was obviously a bit clumsy just now. Lu Songli could understand that this was not what he was good at, so there was no need to be too harsh. But she had other plans in mind.
Lu Songli's cold and solemn voice made Butler Chen regain his backbone instantly and hurriedly responded, "Yes, Second Miss!"
Thinking of what happened just now, sweat started to drip from Butler Chen's forehead. In the morning, the second lady asked him if he wanted some manservants who were strong and fast. He didn't ask what he was here for, but just picked four or five men for her. Sent over. I didn’t expect the second lady to use it here.
Lu Songli didn't say much. She was not just waiting for her father to come back this morning. Unexpectedly, just in case of emergency, the people who were randomly deployed turned out to be useful.
