Discuss with you

Chapter 19 Entourage
"I'm afraid this case of the Ghost Fairy Temple cannot be avoided by the Qingshui County Court, right?" Zhu Yu put the teacup in his hand back on the table, swallowed the snack in his mouth, and asked Lu Qing.

"That's true." Lu Qing replied.

"Earlier, you said you wanted me to travel around as a clerk..." Zhu Yu frowned, "But I don't have any official credentials or a badge, so I can't really be considered legitimate. What if someone in the government questioned me?"

"Madam, you're worrying too much. With me here, no one dares to question your identity." Lu Qing raised his chin slightly, and his tone of voice was casual but with an unquestionable certainty.

Then, he changed the subject: "But Madam did remind me that if I want to be legitimate, it is indeed safer to have an imperial decree and a waist badge.

This is not difficult. After I return to the capital this time, I will ask for it for my wife. Next time when you go out with me... Oh, I almost forgot. My wife said that you yearn for the life of ordinary women in the inner house.

Let’s discuss this matter later!”

Zhu Yu's breath, which had just been lifted, fell back with the second half of his words.

After both of them ate something, Lu Qing got up and went back to his room, telling Zhu Yu to take a rest and wait for him outside the inn in an hour.

Zhu Yu didn't know what he was going to do, so he simply leaned against the bed and took a nap. When he thought it was about time, he got up, tidied his clothes, tied his hair into a bun again, and went downstairs.

When he arrived at the door of the inn, he didn't see Lu Qing. Instead, he saw a dark-faced man with a box on his back resting nearby.

She had no choice but to wait by the door.

But after waiting for a long time, Lu Qing still didn't show up. Zhu Yu became a little anxious. He turned around and planned to go back to the inn to find him, but he saw the black-faced man standing next to him looking at him.

The man was wearing half-worn coarse cloth clothes, his skin looked very rough, and his beard was unshaven. He was standing there carrying a box on his back, and his posture was a little hunched.

The man didn't say anything, but just stared at Zhu Yu without any hesitation.

The face looked unfamiliar, but those eyes, which he hadn't noticed when his eyelids were drooping just now, were clearly Lu Qing's eyes now that they were looking directly at him.

Eyes can't deceive people, it's really true.

Zhu Yu was stunned. He was afraid that if he showed too much surprise, it would attract other people's attention. He tried to remain calm, but he still couldn't help but look at Lu Qing in front of him carefully.

Lu Qing stood there, carrying a box on his back, looking like an honest follower, allowing Zhu Yu to look at him.

I thought she would not be able to help but ask something, but I saw Zhu Yu quickly looked at me and beckoned to me: "Let's go!"

He was slightly stunned, lowered his head to prevent others from seeing the smile in his eyes after the surprise, and quickly followed.

The street market was just as the talisman described, with many shops lining both sides. If you look closely, you will find that there are only a few signs coming and going.

There were quite a few people on the street at this moment, but not many were buying things. Most people were rushing in one direction in a hurry.

The young man standing in front of the shop on the street couldn't leave, but looking at the way he stretched his neck to look around, it seemed as if his soul had run away with someone else.

Zhu Yu passed by a shop and asked the shop assistant at the door, "Young man, where are all these people going? Why is it so lively?" The shop assistant took a quick look and saw a fair-faced young man with a servant carrying a suitcase on his back. He was obviously a stranger who didn't know what was going on, so he said, "They are all here to watch the fun!
There's a Luji Distillery in our county town. They used to be a tyrant, bullying the market, and now something's wrong. Just now, a group of people came with firecrackers and paper cannons and were about to set them off in front of Luji's door!"

As soon as Zhu Yu heard the word "Lu Ji", he had an idea in his mind. He immediately thanked the man and exchanged glances with Lu Qing behind him. The two of them followed the direction of the crowd and walked towards where Lu Ji was.

After all, the county town was not big, and in a short while, they arrived outside Lu Ji Winery.

Lu Ji Winery is quite large, located in the southeast corner of the county town. The gate has a sense of grandeur, with a row of wine flags hanging at the door, swaying in the wind.

Zhu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how unexpected the incident at Lu's was, and how overwhelming it was. These magnificent wine flags were still intact, but the power of the Lu family was already powerless to turn the tide.

The open space in front of Lu Ji Distillery should have been quite spacious, but now it was crowded with people, leaving only a small space in front of the door.

As more and more people gathered, the open space in front of the winery became smaller and smaller, and the crowd gradually moved towards the gate.

The young man inside the wine shop no longer dared to peek through the crack of the door, and hurriedly tried to close the door tightly.

This action probably angered the people outside, and someone immediately rushed forward to stop them, causing a commotion inside and outside the door.

Zhu Yu felt that this situation looked amiss, so he didn't follow suit. Instead, he turned around and asked the person next to him, "Didn't they say everyone would rush to the door of Lu Ji to beat drums and gongs and set off firecrackers? Why didn't I see anyone here?"

The man glanced at him, somewhat displeased: "Go away! If you want to see people setting off firecrackers and beating drums and gongs, go watch outside the Lu family's house! We are all here to ask Lu Ji for the money for the wine!"

Zhu Yu felt somewhat helpless. Who could have thought that when something happened to Lu Ji, the "bustle" in front of the door could still be "two flowers blooming, each showing its own beauty"!
The two of them had no choice but to ask where the Lu family's house was and grope their way there.

Sure enough, the atmosphere here was much more lively. A group of people gathered in front of the door. Someone lit a firecracker, and with a bang, there was jubilation all around.

It can be seen that the Lu family had really angered many people in Qingshui County, and now was the time for everyone to turn against them.

The Lu family just kept the door tightly closed and didn't dare to go out to deal with it.

Soon, the lively crowd began to change. Many people rushed over from Lu's side, pushed aside the city residents who were just watching the excitement, and rushed straight to the door of Lu's house.

"The manager of Lu's family said that they only make wine, and the money is kept by Mr. Lu himself! That must be at home!
Now that Lu Ji has no wine to sell, we can't let them take the money for the goods again!"

Someone in the crowd was shouting, and people around him immediately responded.

This group of people were much more ferocious than the ones who were watching the fun and setting off firecrackers just now. A group of people squeezed to the door and started to smash it.

Although the two gates of the Lu family mansion looked quite grand and heavy, they still could not withstand such a smashing force, and the door latches inside were broken by them in a short time.

The two large doors were thrown wide open, and the people outside, whether they were debt collectors or just out to watch the fun, all rushed into the house. The manager inside was horrified and hid inside while hurriedly ordering a servant to run out the back door to report to the police.

　Zhu Yu: "Dear friends, relatives, brothers and sisters, I'm begging for votes~ Recommendation votes, monthly votes, any kind of vote is a good vote! Help King Xiaoyao, help me get a good life as soon as possible, and not be a slave! Thank you very much!"
