The two soldiers who had previously said that the crowd was too noisy and could not understand them nodded repeatedly at this moment. They even immediately concluded, “So, Boss Lue provocation failed, and he wanted to pretend to faint to blackmail the Lu family?”
“Something like that.” The crowd nodded.
The two soldiers’ expressions immediately turned cold. They said to Boss Lue with a sullen face, “The Lu family has already registered their ready-to-wear clothes shop with the county office. Lord Xiang hopes that the people of
Jiangyuan County can work together and work hard to improve Jiangyuan County’s economic strength and make the people richer, allowing all walks of life to blossom. Do you want to cut off the path of others just because you run a ready-to-wear clothes shop? It’s really despicable. Come, let’s go to the government office and have a good talk.”
Boss Lue’s expression changed drastically, “Officials, it’s a misunderstanding. This is a misunderstanding. I didn’t provoke them, and I didn’t think of blackmailing the Lu family.”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lu Erbai and hurriedly apologized, “Boss Lu, I’ve even sent you a congratulatory gift. I do want to be on good terms with you. Please hurry and clear this matter up with the two officials.” Lu Erbai didn’t say anything. After all, when the other party framed the Lu family, he didn’t leave any leeway either.
The two officials were getting impatient.
“Where it is a misunderstanding or not, come with us to the county office and explain it clearly. Move, move, move. Don’t delay our business.”
Boss Lue wanted to say something more, but he was pushed by the two officials and could only stagger forward with the shop assistant.
The Lu family members stood rooted to the ground in a daze. All of it was quite sudden.
Initially, they thought that the Lu family would be in trouble. They did not expect that not only would the two officials send gifts to them, but they also took away the troublemakers.
Lu Erbai couldn’t help but look at Shu Yu. The latter smiled at him and ran into the shop.
Just as Lu Erbai was about to follow, he was surrounded.
Most of the people present were the shopkeepers and shop assistants of the shops and restaurants on Ningshui Street. Those who could run a shop here mostly had a good relationship with the county office.
Currently, the original county magistrate had fallen, and the new Lord Xiang had only met with the rich people in Jiangyuan County. The soldiers and servants under the Lord put on serious faces all day long and refused to be affiliated with anyone else.
Therefore, they still could not find a way to build a good relationship with the new county office at this point. Who knew that this seemingly inconspicuous Lu family would receive a congratulatory gift from Lord Xiang?
Therefore, after the two soldiers left, everyone smiled and greeted Lu Erbai, asking discreetly about their family’s relationship with Lord Xiang.
Lu Erbai laughed awkwardly. He was confused as well, so how was he going to answer them?
He secretly tugged at Lu Dasong, then answered everyone’s questions vaguely as Lu Dasong helped him out of the crowd.
However, even when they returned to the shop, those people followed them in.
It wasn’t just Lu Erbai. The other members of the Lu family were also surrounded and asked questions.
The originally cold and empty shop was now bustling with activity. It finally looked like it was about to open for business.
However, the Lu family did not know that in an alley not far from the shop, Meng Yunzheng, who should long have left, had been standing there and watching the whole commotion.
After Meng Yunzheng saw the two soldiers leave, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly. Then, he turned around and walked towards the county office.
Xiang Weinan had just finished reading a dossier when he heard that Meng Yunzheng had come.
Thinking of what he had done today, he slowly stretched and let the other party in.
Unexpectedly, it was not Meng Yunzheng who came in, but his confidant..
