Chapter 76: Guilty
Chapter 76: Asking for guilt
After sending away King Ci Yan Heluo, the next half month, the weather was calm and there was no messy happening again.
Under the guidance of Yan Fu and Yan Bugui, Lu Chengfeng began to visit important figures in Jidu in an orderly manner. The sect leaders of the royal family of the Dayan Dynasty, the current heads of several wealthy families, the three prime ministers and nine ministers, as well as many superior ministers, officials and other court officials.
In half a month, Lu Chengfeng only made these relationships preliminary and became familiar with the figures of Jidu. To truly enter the core aristocratic circle of the Da Yan Dynasty, truly have the relationship and power network that a duke should have, and truly grasp the power of Zuo Guozheng of the Da Yan Dynasty, Lu Chengfeng is still far from being able to manage it for a long time.
Fortunately, the powerful people from the ninth sect of the Dayan Dynasty, who were the sect leader of the Yan Le Gong lineage, took the initiative to surrender. The members of the ninth sect led by Yan Kuohui were military generals, court ministers, and spy organizations like the Zhaofengsi. Dozens of powerful people gathered with bloodlines as the bond, which finally gave him a usable force.
Wuqi was so busy that he was spanking the eggs on his heels during the half month. He led Yan Juehui and others to support him, and focused on counting Yan Legong's accounts and inventory of money and goods, which roughly sorted out the ninth sect's affairs.
It was also through this counting that Wuqi and Lu Chengfeng realized that the fiefs of Yanlegong County were not only Lu Chengfeng's hereditary fiefs, but also the public assets of many branches of the ninth sect. 60% of the annual output of the fief will be allocated by Lu Chengfeng to the powerful families of the ninth sect. Some royal families who have no positions in the court rely entirely on this money to live.
The 40% of the income left by Lu Chengfeng is not entirely owned by him. If there are three disasters and five difficulties in the ninth sect, and a headache and fever, and it takes a lot of money but is not enough to make it, Lu Chengfeng, the new sect leader, has to take out money from his own wallet to share the worries and solve the problems of the tribe members.
The Great Yan Dynasty was established for more than two thousand years. The ninth sect had only one direct descendant of the royal family, and there were more than 8,000 members of the Yan clan who were born in the family. The total number of soldiers, guards, servants, maids, etc. of these clan members had more than 400,000. Among the more than 8,000 members of the Yan clan, Yan Shuhui, Yan Bugui had only a few hundred elite children like Yan Bugui, and the others were mediocre people and could only waste money.
After spending half a month to sort out these messy affairs and relationships, Wuqi and Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but look at each other, and finally they sighed to the sky. They thought they had taken a huge advantage, but now they realized that they had been in great trouble.
Holding a cup of tea and crossing his legs, Lu Chengfeng sat on the steps of the lobby of the Gong Mansion. While siping the tea in a small mouthful, he sighed: "I thought that if I inherited this position, I would be rich and happy for a lifetime. How could I know there would be so many troubles?"
Wuqi sat shoulder to shoulder beside him, and also crossed his legs and sighed: "Yes, the pro-Shenguo is the king of the country, and the prince of a dignified king was slaughtered by us. King Ci Yan Heluo was covered in blood by us. Stroke Guard's grand tour of Qin Qingshui seemed to be very hostile to us. The ninth sect has more than 8,000 people, and there are countless responsibilities of all corporations. They have to handle birth, old age, sickness and death. Alas, why are the reasons?"
Shaking his head, Lu Chengfeng said in a deep voice: "Forget it, since you come, you can rest assured. In the Xiaomeng City, you have to send capable people to stare at it. The production there is no decimal place for a year. I have already passed a letter with my mother that Sanshan County, where Xiaomeng City is located, will be my private territory in the future."
Wuqi frowned and he whispered: "Let it go temporarily, Xiao Mengcheng will not be in trouble for a while. When there are too many people available in the young master, send a decent confidant to come over. The soldiers mobilized from there must come over quickly, otherwise the guards in the young master will not be enough. The young master's father was assassinated, and the specific reason has not been found. The young master's safety must not be ignored."
The two of them chatted here, gradually sorting out what happened recently and making a general plan for their future development strategy. Everything seems to be going well now. As long as those friends from the Lu Guo family invited by Lu Chengfeng came to Jidu and had a group of available people under their command, some of the troubles will be solved now.
No one is available at hand, and now Lu Chengfeng has to write the greetings of those nobles in the court when he goes out to visit the imperial court. This is too unreasonable.
While the conversation was getting hot, Yan Fu lowered his head and rushed in quickly with a clearly visible palm print on his face. He respectfully bowed to Lu Chengfeng, and Yan Fu said bitterly: "Master, someone is visiting outside the mansion, but he is coming in a fierce manner. It seems difficult to deal with it. Please be careful."
He threw the teacup to the old black man standing beside him. Lu Chengfeng stood up in anger and shouted, "Who is so rude? Since he is visiting, why did he even slap you?"
Yan Fu is a servant of Yan Legong Mansion. He has been the chief steward of Yan Legong Mansion for nearly a hundred years. He is conscientious and loyal. When Lu Chengfeng first came to Jidu, he was a little worried about Yan Fu and other old managers. However, after a period of observation, especially after Yan Jianhui used the power of the Shangfengsi to cooperate with the investigation, he found that the loyalty of Yan Fu and other managers of Yan Legong Mansion was absolutely impeccable.
Lu Chengfeng is becoming more and more dependent on such a loyal and reliable old man in the mansion. Now Yan Fu has been slapped in the face. This is either a slap in Yan Fu, or a slap in Lu Chengfeng's face.
Yan Fu smiled bitterly, lowered his voice and said, "Master, be careful, the visitor is extremely arrogant, as if he is intentionally coming to find trouble. The people who follow her are all those who patrol the Fengsi Palace Guards."
In addition to the four major Fengweis in the southeast, west, north, and middle, the Fengshang Department also has an independent department, namely the Palace Guard. All the people in the Palace Guard are elites selected from thousands, and are specifically responsible for protecting important figures in the royal family. Generally speaking, the Palace Guard will only appear next to the clan members of the Dayan Dynasty's legitimate clan.
The so-called legitimate clan of the Dayan Dynasty is the eldest son of Yan Emperor Yan Dan, and the prince's lineage of the Dayan Dynasty. The palace guards are specifically responsible for defending Yan Dan's prince, the prince's son, the prince's son, and the eldest son of the prince's grandson. According to the rules of establishing a eldest son of the Dayan Dynasty, the palace guards are the imperial guards who serve the future crown prince of the Dayan Dynasty.
When Lu Chengfeng heard the man who beat Yan Fu was following the man who was following the palace guards, his face looked a little ugly.
Wuqi sneered repeatedly: "What about the people of the Li Zong? So what? Yan Fu, did he report his name and origin?"
Yan Fu lowered his head and said carefully: "Mr. Wuqi clearly understands that the man is very fierce. When he meets, he slapped the old slave and a few children, saying that he wanted the master to go out to greet him in person, and did not tell him his identity. However, no one dared to pretend to be a palace guard beside her."
Wuqi and Lu Chengfeng looked at each other, Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly, called Xiao Hei to summon a group of guards, and brought Yan Bugui who had rushed over after hearing the news. The group hurried to the outside of the Duke's Mansion.
After walking around several pavilions and walking through the large courtyard behind the mansion, everyone had just walked to the side of the screen wall behind the main entrance when they heard a delicate woman outside the door: "You Duke Yan Le is really over-eyed. It's been so long that you haven't gone out to greet the guests. Could it be that you don't take this palace seriously?"
A crisp slap sounded, and it seemed that someone was slapped again. Lu Chengfeng's face changed again, and he hurriedly accelerated his pace and rushed out of the mansion in a few steps.
Outside the gate of Yanlegong Mansion, nearly a hundred palace guards wearing blue-black soft armor and extremely exquisite, were surrounded by a gorgeous four-wheeler. The twelve gates of Yanlegong Mansion knelt down at the steps in front of the door, and were slapped by two girls dressed in maids one by one. More than a dozen guards in front of the gate of the palace wanted to come forward to stop them, but were blocked by the palace guards. Both sides were tense and could attack at any time.
"Get back!" Lu Chengfeng shouted softly, and the guards of more than a dozen duke's mansions hurriedly took a few steps back. However, the palace guards were getting more and more eager. They approached with a smile and followed these duke's guards and stepped onto the steps in front of the duke's mansions.
Wuqi snorted coldly and stomped his feet hard.
Meng Xiaobai, who was following Lu Chengfeng, shouted loudly, and together with several guards from Mengcun who were from the village, picked up the iron spear and snatched it forward. The iron spear as thick as a small bowl swept forward, causing a "huh" sound, and forced the dozen Gongjin sanitation practitioners who were stepping onto the steps. The two maids who were smiling so hard that their eyes narrowed into a line and were slapped at the doorman in the face exclaimed, and hurriedly fled to the side of the car, looking at this side and muttering a few words in a low voice.
"Oh, it's really hard to see Mr. Yan Le?" The delicate female voice came from the car. Wuqi frowned. The woman's voice sounded very familiar, exactly the same as the woman who made a ghost and Wuqi fight head-on on the night when Lu Chengfeng was attacked half a month ago.
Lu Chengfeng snorted, strode down the steps, pulled up the doorman whose faces were beaten to pieces, and shouted coldly: "Yan Fu, give each of them ten silver rewards, and go back and rest for a month."
Yan Fu responded, he glared at the car fiercely, and hurriedly called the doormen to retreat into the mansion. Yan Legong's mansion also gave birth to a child in the mansion. He has been a slave and servant in the mansion for generations. Yan Fu treats these people as his own children. Today, he was slapped inexplicably. Yan Fu was both heartbroken and angry.
"Ten ingots of silver? Yan Legong's mansion is indeed rich!"
The woman in the car sneered: "Then, I'm not polite. A few lowly gatekeepers, Mr. Yan Le can reward ten silver ingots. The personal guards around me have been killed by your disciples. The close-killing guards in my palace were also seriously injured. Mr. Yan Le will compensate him for five million gold."
Five million gold?
Lu Chengfeng and Wuqi were shocked. The Jidu city defense force, including military supplies such as armour and armor, had a total annual expenditure of less than one million gold. Five million gold was used as compensation, and the Lion's big talk was not the case.
Wuqi sneered repeatedly: "Who is the one who you are? Please come out and speak!"
The woman sneered and said, "Oh? I am still afraid that you will be fine? Let's talk, then speak! I am here to come to ask for guilt. If you don't give me an explanation today, I promise that you will be unable to move in Jidu!"
