Farmer Fubo is open for business

Lu Huainian took a look at this granddaughter and really couldn't like her.

Not only because she was born by a maid, but also because the woman who gave birth to her was a very scheming person.

"You go to the inn first and stay there, and come back to Beijing in a few days." Lu Huainian didn't want his wife to affect his relationship with the Jingzhou family, so he just wanted to send them away quickly.

Cai burst into tears: "Master, I went through so much trouble to find you, and you treat me like this?"

Lu Yuanjin was also angry and said angrily: "Dad! You are the head of the family after all. Do you want to abandon your wife and son to live a carefree life with your illegitimate son? These years, my mother has been unable to eat or drink, just hoping that you will return home early, but you are so happy here that you don't want to leave."

"Okay! What do you want? Live here permanently?" Lu Huainian interrupted his son's nagging impatiently.

Lu Yuanjin stiffened his neck and said: "We are where you are, don't think of leaving us!"

He had no choice. Either his father gave him money to help him pay the debt, or he would stay here.

It turned out that Lu Yuanjin lived a life of debauchery in the capital, and was lured to gamble in a gambling house. When he lost, he borrowed money and owed the gambling house a large amount of interest.

In order to get her son's legs back, Mrs. Cai sold her shop and farm, but it was not enough.

The interest on the debts had exceeded 30,000 taels.

Mrs. Cai was so scared that she went to ask the eldest and second masters of the Lu family, hoping that they could help pay off the debts.

Who knew that the eldest and second masters did not even see them, and only asked the housekeeper to send 1,000 taels.

But this amount of money was not enough to pay the interest for a few days, how could it pay off the debt?

Mrs. Cai had no choice but to secretly spend money to find someone to apply for a pass, and the family left the capital from three city gates and came to Ansai to seek refuge with Lu Huainian.

Who knew that this heartless man wanted to drive them away.

Mrs. Cai became more and more sad, regardless of her dignity, and cried in public with her face covered.

Lu Huainian frowned and said, "Let's do this. I'll rent a yard in the city. You can move there first, but don't come here to disturb Jingzhou's family in the future."

Lu Yuanjin was dissatisfied, but he also knew that he could only plan other things after settling down.

He was exhausted from sleeping in the open air and being nervous all the way. He wanted to lie in bed for ten days and a half months without getting up.

Song Xiyue was obedient. She bowed to Lu Huainian, bowed to Lu Jingzhou, and walked out with her daughter.

Lu Jingzhou was upset when he saw his father leaving with the family. He ordered the guards to guard the door. If they came again in the future, they were not allowed to enter the yard.

The guards were also ashamed. After clasping their fists and saluting, they honestly guarded the door.

Back in the house, Lu Jingzhou hurriedly checked his wife's condition: "Did they hurt you?"

Chang'an shook his head, patted the frightened Xiangxiang and asked: "Are you really going to let them live in Ansai City?"

Lu Jingzhou certainly didn't want to keep his stepmother's family here, but he couldn't force them away in public.

Chang'an saw Lu Jingzhou's hesitation and said angrily: "If they settle here, I will have to take Xiangxiang to my father."

Now that she is pregnant, she doesn't want to be killed one day, and her Xiangxiang can't stay out of the courtyard forever.

It happened that her mother had returned to her father, and her twelve-year-old brother Xiao Shitou had also gone to the garrison and became the captain of his father's personal guard and received the title of a hundred households. It would be better for her to go there, maybe it would be safer than here.

Yang quickly tried to smooth things over: "Don't worry, Chang'an, those people are only staying here temporarily, Jingzhou will definitely find a way to get them back to Beijing. You are still pregnant and will give birth in a few months, so you must not travel long distances."

Lu Jingzhou also pulled his wife and said: "Chang'an, I will send a few more people to protect you, you don't have to meet them, just stay at home and take care of the baby, as for the other side, let your father take care of it."

Chang'an was silent.

She also knew that it was a bit difficult for Lu Jingzhou to drive her stepmother's family away, but Song Xiyue was really a vicious person.

For so many years, she had nothing to do with her, but the chain of fate brought them together again.

Chang'an had a premonition that Song Xiyue and Cai would definitely not be content and would definitely cause trouble in the future.

She was not afraid, but Xiangxiang was still young and lively, how could she guard against other people's calculations day and night?

And she actually saw Song Chengye in the crowd, and when he looked at her and Xiangxiang, his eyes were full of resentment and hatred.

Staying in the same city with such a group of people, Changan was worried that the food he bought might be poisoned.

In the following days, Mrs. Cai's family was quiet.

However, when they went to the street to buy things, they often used Lu Jingzhou's name and claimed to be Lu Jingzhou's close relatives.

When the merchants learned that this family was indeed the legitimate mother and brother of the prefect, they were very polite to them and allowed them to pay on credit, that is, to take the things first and settle the bill at the end of the month.

Lu Yuanjin was very familiar with these things, and immediately took 20 pieces of fine silk and satin from the silk shop, and took two pieces of fine jade pendants from the jade shop.

He also went to the gold and silver shop to take two sets of gold-inlaid headwear for his daughter Lu Yun.

He wanted to take more, but unfortunately, the maximum amount of money that could be paid on credit in a month was so much.

At the end of the month, the shopkeepers of various businesses came to the prefect's door with the credit to ask for money.

Changan didn't see it at all, and asked Li Xing'er to come out and drive them out.

In fact, she had known about what Lu Yuanjin had done, and had warned all the shops not to give them credit privately.

As a result, someone who didn't mind making trouble did it on purpose, and then brought the account book to the door, trying to challenge the prefect's bottom line.

Just because there are certain officials behind these shops, they want to ruin Lu Jingzhou's reputation and force him to leave Ansai City.

After all, Ansai's current situation is at its peak, and the people are getting richer and richer. As long as Lu Jingzhou leaves, someone will immediately replace him.

As expected, it didn't take long for someone to submit a memorial to the emperor, saying that Lu Jingzhou's family was preying on the people in Ansai, and even allowed his family to take valuables from shops without paying them.

The emperor picked up the memorial, looked at it, and asked the courtiers with a smile: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Someone immediately came forward and said: "I think that if the matter is true, Lu Jingzhou should go to Beijing to explain that it is really not suitable for officials from the fish and meat township to continue to stay in the Ansai border, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Several people came forward to second the proposal.

But there are also many people who disagree.

Especially Wu Zhonglou and Zhang Sheng, they never believed that Lu Jingzhou could be such a person.

Moreover, the car dealership receives a large sum of money every year. How could Changan be so short-sighted as to take the three melons and two dates from the merchant?

Finally, the emperor threw these memorials aside and ordered his officials to investigate.

The result of the investigation was also expected. It was indeed Lu Jingzhou's immediate family members who took other people's things without paying them back.

The emperor was a thief and immediately asked the staff to transfer Lu Jingzhou to the more remote northwest to serve as the local magistrate.

When Lu Jingzhou received the transfer order, he almost laughed in anger.

The emperor's intention was obvious. He just wanted to take the opportunity to let himself and Chang'an expand his territory for him.

But how could Chang'an swallow this breath? Before leaving, he went to various waters to get back all the colored glaze he had thrown into the water.
