Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

In the backyard of Yunfu Ji, Lu Xi was slurping noodles with soybean paste.

Ling Chuan sat opposite her and told her what had happened recently.

"So how do you plan to deal with that Xu Ji?" Lu Xi was asking about Xu Ji, but he was thinking about the Xu family of Ruyin.

The last time An Changqing asked to see Lu Xi alone, he explained the dangers of the aristocratic families and said that they could take the opportunity to strike a blow against the aristocratic family factions.

As for how far the blow will go, it depends on the subsequent game between An Changqing and Xu Ge Lao, and the key figure in this is Ling Chuan.

Lu Xi came here today purely with the intention of watching the fun and getting some first-hand information.

"What else is there to deal with? Xu Ji is finished, including Xu Ji's boss, and even that Ruyin Xu family, all will be implicated." Ling Chuan asked: "By the way, that Ruyin Xu family has nothing to do with your Lu family, right?"

Lu Xi smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if you wipe out the entire Ruyin Xu family."

Ling Chuan shook his head: "How can I have that ability? The noble families are all powerful and influential. I am just a small businessman. This time I am using the tiger skin of the left prime minister as a banner. Otherwise, I can only compete with Xu Ji at most."

"Since you have already taken on the title of Left Prime Minister, what are you afraid of?" Lu Xi persuaded.

"I'm afraid they'll get desperate. Besides, I now suspect that the Left Prime Minister is using me as a pawn. I didn't intend to make things so big in the beginning."

"What are you trying to do? This is the capital. Can they send someone to kill you?"

Ling Chuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scar from the last time he was chopped: "It's a lesson for you."

Lu Xi was speechless for a moment, but after a moment's silence, she said, "To be honest, all the men in your yard are good at fighting, and they are more than capable of protecting you."

"Really?" Ling Chuan leaned back slightly: "No, no, there's something wrong with you. Why do I feel like you're instigating me to do something bad? Is there a grudge between your Lu family and the Xu family?"

Lu Xi finished his noodles, put down the bowl, and said two words: "Political enemy."

Ling Chuan was surprised: "Aren't you Lu family doing business? Why are you making enemies everywhere? Don't you know that harmony brings wealth?"

"It's not that we want to make enemies, but the Xu family always makes things difficult for us."

"You said they always pick on you?" Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows: "If you had told me earlier, I would have been more ruthless when I attacked you."

"A little more ruthless? How ruthless do you want to be?"

"The Xu family poisoned the people, and now the rumor outside is that they spread the plague. In fact, this rumor is untenable because it has no specific purpose. So we just need to add a purpose to this rumor and say that the Xu family in Ruyin worships evil gods."

Lu Xi was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes. Ling Chuan's plan was really vicious.

The reason why Lord Xu was asked to conduct a self-examination during the morning court session today was because this rumor was untenable.

After all, the Xu family of Ruyin is an aristocratic family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years. Why would they spread the plague for no reason? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xu family has been cheated.

But it’s different with this excuse. The concept of ghosts and gods has always made people afraid. As long as the arrangements are proper, Xu family of Ruyin will be skinned alive even if he doesn’t die.

Lu Xi's goal was not to kill the Xu family of Ruyin, but to use him to establish his authority. When the monument was erected to raise funds before, these noble families pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed. If he let them go, where would the emperor's authority be?

Ling Chuan continued, "But now, it seems a little too late. If you say someone is worshipping an evil god, you must have evidence. If you just say it without any evidence, no one will believe it."

"How can we have evidence?"

Ling Chuan scratched his head. "It's easy to do. For example, we can find a wild temple near the capital, put up a statue of the evil god, and leave some evidence related to the Xu family. At the same time, we can do the same in Ruyin."

"I'm afraid this is hard to believe."

"This kind of thing is so unrealistic, how can we make everyone believe it? Send more people to spread rumors and fool as many people as possible."

Lu Xi looked Ling Chuan up and down and said, "Not bad, not bad, this is a good idea."

Ling Chuan was originally sitting across a small table from Lu Xi. Hearing this, he stood up, leaned forward, and whispered, "Is there a reward?"

When he said this, there was an obviously frivolous smile on his face. Lu Xi blushed immediately. He quickly glanced around and found that the closest Chujiu was at least three meters away. He lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "What reward do you want?"

"I'll take whatever reward you give me." Ling Chuan moved closer, and the distance between them was already very close.

Lu Xi's face turned even redder. She glanced again and found that Chujiu had already walked to a corner. She felt relieved and then pecked Lingchuan on the mouth quickly.

Ling Chuan, who was attacked by surprise, was obviously not satisfied: "That's it?"

"That's not enough, what else do you want?"

Ling Chuan rubbed his chin: "At least it should be like last time."

Lu Xi glared, then glanced around: "No."

Ling Chuan immediately understood what Lu Xi meant. How could this be done in public? So he suddenly covered the place where he was injured last time and said, "Oh, my injured place still hurts a little. Can you help me take a look?"

Lu Xi immediately rolled her eyes at him. Unlike the glare she had just given him, this time the eye roll clearly carried a hint of romance.

But just as the two stood up and prepared to walk to the backyard, Xiao Taohong called out from not far away: "Mr. Ling, someone is visiting the shop."

Ling Chuan replied without thinking: "Just say I'm not here."

But Lu Xi had already stopped and gave him a reproachful look: "Business is more important."

Ling Chuan was annoyed: "What time is it now? What business can we have?"

"It's the middle of the night, it's urgent." Lu Xi bit her lower lip and said, "I'll wait for you upstairs in a while."

Ling Chuan's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, okay, I'll be back soon."

When I arrived at the shop, I didn't expect that the visitors were Chen Minggao and others. Ling Chuan had told them about joining the franchise before, so it seemed that they had considered it.

But Lingchuan felt a little unhappy, thinking that you guys should have done this during the day, it's not possible to do this in the middle of the night.

But since they had already come, he couldn't show any anger. He warmly invited them to sit down and started to exchange pleasantries.

On the other side, Lu Xi did not go upstairs, but was discussing something with Cao Huanchun downstairs in the two-story building where Ling Chuan lived.

The idea that Ling Chuan just proposed naturally needs someone to execute it, and the only person who can do it is Cao Huanchun.

After listening to Lu Xi's instructions, he bowed his head and saluted, but he was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to handle, but I, an old servant, can't leave at all. Secondly, the time is too tight. Ruyin is thousands of miles away from the capital."

Lu Xi frowned and was about to say something when Cao Huanchun said, "Your Majesty, I actually have an immature idea."

"tell me the story."

"I think that Master Ling can be incorporated into the East Factory."
