Chapter 278 An Shigeng

"Is Cai Jing's power really that great?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice.

Lu Chen did not answer his question, but looked at the young man downstairs who was chatting and laughing with some officials, and said to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Zhao, this person should be the son of the An family as expected. The An family is just a landlord family. , but he can make so many people support him, do you know why?"

"Why?"

The middle-aged man asked subconsciously.

Lu Chen said: "The An family has a close relationship with Cai Jing. The An family has money and Cai Jing has the power. They each get what they need. When the two families are combined, the entire court is under their control."

"But I heard that Cai Jing is a loyal minister and very noble. It's not like what you said."

The middle-aged man said doubtfully.

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You can go to anyone on the street and ask, how many people would say that Cai Jing is a loyal minister? I'm afraid the only people who can say this are today's Official."

Lu Chen looked at the middle-aged man and joked: "You're not him, are you?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Little brother, do you think I look like an official?"

Lu Chen looked at the middle-aged man and said, "They look similar, but not alike."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Zhao is gentle and gentle, and he is very similar to today's officials. However, officials should have lived in the palace for a long time and should not appear here. He would not come out to see Master Li."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was surprised and asked Lu Chen, "Who is Master Li?"

Lu Chen's heart moved. The other party didn't know about Master Li. Could it be that he had guessed wrong.

In fact, through the observation just now, Lu Chen guessed that the identity of the middle-aged man was most likely that of the current emperor Zhao Ji.

In Lu Chen's opinion, when Zhao Ji came out, he must have come out to have a private meeting with Master Li. But looking at the situation now, it was obviously not the case. Zhao Ji didn't even know who Master Li was, so how could he have a private meeting with him.

"Haha, I heard people say that Master Li is a famous prostitute in the capital. I thought it was true. But now it seems that there may not be such a person. It is just a rumor."

Lu Chen smiled.

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said: "Young people should focus on their studies, gain fame, and honor their ancestors, instead of being drunk in the world and wandering around in the world."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said no more.

At this time, the commotion downstairs ended. The young man sent the others away and led his men to the second floor, led by the shopkeeper himself.

There are special private rooms in restaurants. These private rooms are expensive, and the best private rooms among them are reserved all year round. For example, the best private room in this restaurant has been occupied by Anjia An Shigeng for many years.

That young man is An Shigeng, known as the God of Wealth. He came today to meet an important guest.

An Shigeng went up to the second floor, glanced at the guests eating on the second floor, and saw nothing unusual, so he went directly to the private room on the third floor.

Not long after, a woman appeared in a low-key manner, and Lu Chen discovered that this woman was actually Ji Yaohua.

After Ji Yaohua went to the box on the third floor, she greeted An Shigeng.

An Shigeng looked at Ji Yaohua with a smile, and suddenly asked: "What's going on with the Murong family?"

Ji Yaohua sighed in her heart. She knew that An Shigeng would definitely ask about the Murong family, so she had no choice but to say: "It was Murong Fu who sent assassins to assassinate the four famous arrests, which led to the investigation. His subordinates had no choice but to encircle and suppress them before they took action." The Murong family originally wanted to annihilate them in one fell swoop and eliminate hidden dangers for their master, but they did not expect that Murong Bo was not dead, causing the operation to fail."

"Murong Fu really failed in his achievements and failed in many things. As a result, the waterway had to be temporarily stopped."

An Shigeng snorted coldly and said.

"Forget it, but why has there been no movement for so many days about letting you seize the Beiming Divine Art?"

An Shigeng asked again.

Ji Yaohua glanced at An Shigeng and said aggrievedly: "Master, this Lu Chen's martial arts is better than mine, and there are four famous arresters to restrain him. In addition, this Lu Chen has been running around this time, and I can't get away." I am unable to move because of my body.”

"I pity you, but my father is not that easy to talk to."

An Shigeng walked up to Ji Yaohua and whispered in her ear: "We must deal with the God Catcher. This is also your chance, otherwise even I may not be able to protect you."

Ji Yaohua took a few steps back, distanced herself from An Shigeng, clasped her fists and said, "Master, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely obey the old master's orders and handle this matter well."

"Master, I can't stay too long, otherwise I will be suspected."

Ji Yaohua made an excuse, she didn't want to stay here anymore.

An Shigeng saw her thoughts and nodded without forcing her.

Ji Yaohua exited the private room and when she walked downstairs, she unexpectedly saw Lu Chen and the middle-aged man. Her expression changed slightly.

When Lu Chen looked at her, Ji Yaohua left without changing her expression.

The middle-aged man noticed this scene, and when he turned his head to look over, he only saw a slim figure from behind.

The middle-aged man continued to chat with Lu Chen. He was asking about people's livelihood in the world, and he seemed to really want to know how the people at the bottom were living.

After a while, a scream suddenly came from the third floor, and then two guards brought by An Shigeng were seen carrying the body of a waiter downstairs.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he came over nervously.

One of the guards threw a small bag of silver to the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Bury him."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The shopkeeper nodded quickly.

The shopkeeper quickly called for a waiter to carry the waiter to the backyard. The shopkeeper looked at the waiter's body and shook his head and sighed: "I have taught you to be careful, but you just can't listen, and now your life is at risk. "

When the middle-aged man saw the dead person, he immediately asked his servant to call the shopkeeper over and asked with an unhappy look: "Did someone die just now?"

"Yes."

The shopkeeper nodded.

"Why don't you report it to the official?"

the middle-aged man asked.

The shopkeeper was startled and sweated profusely. He quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeves and whispered: "Sir, I know you have an extraordinary background, but you don't need to cause trouble. You can't afford to offend the people here." .”

"Isn't he the person from Anjia? Isn't this person from Anjia greater than Wang Fa?"

The middle-aged man shouted coldly.

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice came out, the people who were eating suddenly stopped and looked at the middle-aged man with strange eyes.

The middle-aged man noticed everyone's gaze. He stood up and said impassionedly to everyone: "Why, isn't it right? Even if Cai Jing breaks the law, he must be tried according to national law."

"Is this person a fool?"

"I'm not a fool, but I have a brain problem."

"Who is Cai Jing? A popular person in front of officials. Even if Cai Jing kills someone, who would dare to arrest him."

"That's right! This old thief Cai Jing has killed many people."

……

Everyone whispered.
