Chapter 277 Someone Even Dumber Than His Family's Foolish Man
Xiaoguang poked Fan Tong, and Fan Tong quickly regained his composure.
"Changping, why did your family give Lin Yu... Lin Tongpan so much money? He's just a teacher, isn't it? Is it really that important?"
Lu Changping slammed the table angrily, which scared Fan Tong.
"He cheated my family and my uncle's family."
Xiaoguang pricked up his ears suddenly: "Master Changping, how did Lord Lin deceive your family?"
Lu Changping's eyes turned red with anger.
"Brother Fan Tong, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this. Although my Lu family is rich, we have no backing. Twenty years ago, I don't know which bastard kidnapped my father and extorted a huge sum of money from my family."
"That's a huge sum. How much is it?"
"Three million taels."
"Hiss, you gave it to me?" Fan Tong asked with great sorrow.
"My grandfather only has two children: my father and my aunt. If I don't give it to him, my family will be extinct."
x, Fan Tong cursed in his heart. He has two brothers. If someone kidnaps him, can his father give him 30,000 taels in exchange for him?
Hard to say.
Xiaoguang also felt a pang of annoyance when hearing this.
Twenty years ago, he was defrauded of three million taels of silver. Twenty years later, Lu Changping can still live so luxuriously. It's really enviable.
"So what does this have to do with Master Lin?"
Lu Changping glared at Xiaoguang with an expression that asked, "Are you stupid?"
"Why not? My family wanted to find a reliable son-in-law for this very reason. Just eleven years ago, my uncle passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He was less than fifteen years old and was a top scholar. Do you know who your uncle is?"
Fan Tong shook his head. He didn’t know. Also, what was Xiao Sanyuan?
"Your family is so rich, why do you want to find a scholar? Can't you just marry your aunt to a high-ranking official?"
Lu Changping rolled his eyes. "My aunt is from Wuping County, oh no, Shangyang Prefecture, she's a very beautiful girl. Of course I have to find someone young and handsome, because those high-ranking officials are all old men."
Fan Tong couldn't understand. For a woman, it was enough for her to contribute to the family. It didn't matter who she married.
"Who is your uncle?"
"Han Qingyun is the youngest person to win the Third Prize in the Shangyang Prefecture so far!"
Fan Tong felt that it sounded familiar, and he looked at Xiaoguang.
Xiaoguang was already used to Fan Tong's stupidity. He leaned over and whispered in Fan Tong's ear: "That's the third place winner the master mentioned yesterday."
Fan Tong understood. No wonder the Lu family found a scholar. It turned out that he was capable of becoming a high-ranking official.
"What does that have to do with Judge Lin?"
"That bastard Lin Yuwen said that the Han and Lu families have no one, and even if my uncle passed the imperial examination, he would be bullied in the future. My uncle is just a child from a poor family. If he gets in the way of others, he might be killed."
Fan Tong nodded. Two years ago, a scholar from a poor family was beaten to death because he offended the young master of Mr. Chen's family.
"Lin Yuwen was an official. He said he knew many high-ranking officials, and one of them was in Shangyang Prefecture. He said he would ask that person to protect my uncle once he passed the imperial examination."
Fan Tong was a little confused: "Who is the high-ranking official in Shangyang Prefecture?"
Xiaoguang almost screamed and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
Lu Changping shook his head. "I don't know. That bastard must have cheated us. But how much money did my family put in for this? And then this bastard turned his back on us. I'm so pissed off."
Xiaoguang took the opportunity to say, "Yeah, the inkstone and the teapot are fine. But that pearl necklace is so valuable, and you even gave it to him. Sigh..."
Lu Changping was confused: "What pearl necklace?"
Xiaoguang quickly pinched Fan Tong.
Fan Tong's eyes rolled. "Didn't you say yesterday that you had a pink pearl necklace?"
"Did I say that?"
The master and servant opposite nodded repeatedly and answered in unison: "Yes!"
Lu Changping looked distressed: "No, I don't remember having any pearl necklaces at home."
"Yes, of course. Lin Yuwen used all of it to curry favor with the prefect. All the gifts given to the prefect over the years were from your Lu family."
Lu Changping was furious again: "This bastard, he even stole my pearl necklace. My family's heirloom gold thread leaf was taken by him..."
Lu Changping quickly covered his mouth, but Xiaoguang and Fan Tong heard it clearly.
"What heirloom? What golden leaf?"
Lu Changping shook his head repeatedly: "No, I didn't say it. My grandfather said I couldn't tell you."
Fan Tong and Xiaoguang asked several times, but Lu Changping refused to say anything.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Xiaoguang took Fan Tong back.
After hearing the two people's replies, Fan Yunchuan carefully considered everything Lu Changping said.
He couldn't help laughing. He finally met someone dumber than his good-for-nothing.
Han Qingyun's identity is awkward, and any normal person would want to distance themselves from him, but this young man keeps calling him uncle.
However, thanks to Lu Changping's words, Fan Yunchuan finally figured out why both the top scholar and the wealthy family were controlled by Lin Yuwen.
Hahaha, Lin Yuwen is using Chen Su's cover to seek his own benefits. Chen Su must know this, hehe.
Lu Changping's words were quickly passed on to Chen Su by Fan Yunchuan.
Looking at Chen Su's gloomy face, Fan Yunchuan left tactfully.
After Fan Yunchuan left, Chen Su overturned the table to the ground.
Shen Chen, who heard the voice, came out immediately: "Sir, what's the matter?"
Chen Su was so angry that his teeth were itching, you are so mean, Lin Yuwen!
He originally thought that Lin Yuwen really didn't find the gourd leaf, but it turned out that he had hidden it.
Lin Yuwen, if you are unkind, then don’t let me be unjust!
"Sir, calm down. What happened?"
"Shen Chen, no matter what method you use, even if you dig up Lin Yuwen's house three feet deep, you will definitely find something..."
After Lin Yuwen gave the pearl necklace to someone, he kept regretting it. He felt that he had fallen into a trap.
But he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The most important thing right now is to prevent any estrangement between Chen Su and me.
The pearl necklace that he thought was his winning weapon has now become a burden to him.
If Chen Su misunderstood that he had some kind of deal with the Lu family, he would be finished.
He didn't care about being laughed at and just wanted to explain the origin of the pearl necklace to Chen Su as soon as possible.
Now he could only ask Huang Lianchun to accompany him to see Chen Su...
Huang Lianchun originally wanted to go and congratulate Chen Su, but Liang Lu suddenly found him and said that the things had arrived and asked him to go with Huang Lianchun.
Huang Lianchun had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to prepare a gift and send it over.
He followed Liang Lu away.
Lin Yuwen's attack was in vain...
At the Qin family martial arts gym, Han Qingyun was playing chess with Lu Yanyan.
Li Jixin came back proudly.
Han Qingyun and the other man looked at him: "Did Chen Su succeed?"
"Haha, with my people guiding them, how could they fail?"
Lu Yanyan put away the chessboard with a serious expression.
"I didn't expect that Chen Su was really behind this. I just wanted to let Changping give it a try."
After the golden gourd leaves were made, they were quietly buried under a big tree in Lin Yuwen's house.
Now the gourd leaf is in Chen Su's hands.
I just don’t know if the next step will be in the hands of Emperor Zhaowen?
"I've already sent someone to keep an eye on the capital. But I think Chen Su is probably going to Luocheng, so I'll take him there myself. There shouldn't be any news for a while."
"Second Young Master, please have someone guard Lu Ling in Guanzhong Prefecture."
Li Jixin nodded.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Lu Lingli is not only home to the Lu family's ancestors, but also to my ancestors. I will never let anyone disturb them. As for the people behind the scenes, I will definitely catch them all."
"Uncle Lu is not in a good mood. Auntie, please try to comfort him."
"Ah."
