The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

"how do I say this?"

“When that group of people first came to cause trouble, Zhuo Qi went to look for the previous owner of the restaurant, but couldn’t find anyone.

He wanted to guard the restaurant, so he asked us brothers to find out the whereabouts of that man.

But after searching for several days, I still had no clue.

Later, I asked a familiar dentist and found out that the man had sold his property long ago and was just waiting to sell the restaurant and run away.

On the surface, he said he would go back to his hometown to be a rich and noble man and live out his days in peace, but who knows if he really went back."

Lu Wei sighed: "Alas, Zhuo Qi is also anxious.

If you investigate for a few more days, you will find out what is going on."

"It seems that the group that set up the scheme wanted to swallow up the entire restaurant, and the previous owner concealed this fact."

"Young master said so!"

"Have you found out who is the backer behind this group of people?"

Lu Wei immediately understood what Lu Jiao meant. The young master was planning to take action.

He refused again and again: "Sir, you have invested money for us. If we can't even handle such a small matter, then there is no need to open a restaurant."

Lu Jiao held Lu Wei's hand and said, "Your small shops are fine; Zhuo Qi's restaurant is different - it's too big and too eye-catching.

If it is not handled properly, at the very least, everyone will want to take a bite of the fat meat; at worst, you will end up in jail.

If we want to solve it at that time, we can only ask the prince to come forward.

Are you sure you want to appear in front of the prince so early?"

Lu Jiao's words confused Lu Wei.

Indeed, although both groups knew of each other's existence, whichever side spoke first would be at a disadvantage.

Lu Jiao understood this principle, and so did Yan Yuanhao, but Lu Wei and his group were the only ones who didn't.

But Lu Jiao and Lu Wei's group are different.

Lu Jiao can be said to be of royal blood, and even if his bones are broken, his tendons are still connected, but what about Lu Wei and the others?

Strictly speaking, he is no different from Urgutu. They are both people that the Jiang State should be on guard against.

There is no room for them to grow and develop in the capital!

Now both sides are racing against time to see which side can develop faster.

If Lu Wei cannot develop a considerable force within the next few years, he will probably become a vassal of Lu Jiao and will never be able to become independent.

Lu Wei scratched the back of his head and asked, "Sir, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Jiao did not answer immediately, but looked at Tian Tian.

She tilted her head, thoughtfully.

Lu Jiao stopped Lu Wei and told him not to disturb his wife's thoughts.

For a moment, there was silence in the inner room.

Tian Tian was shocked by her own thoughts. When she came to her senses, she saw her husband and son-in-law staring at her.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Lu Jiao asked with a smile: "How is it? Tell me what you thought of?"

Could Tian Tian say that she suspected the young master wanted to get rid of them and let them set up their own faction?

Certainly not!

I can only avoid this speculation and say what I can.

Lu Wei, this silly guy, smiled foolishly with pride, and did not forget to flatter his wife.

“My wife is so smart!”

Tian Tian was so embarrassed that she could only talk about this in private. How could she say it in front of the young master...

"Okay, you two can wait until I'm gone before you get too close."

Lu Jiao interrupted their interaction and got back to the point.

"Who is behind this group of people?"

There is only one market town between Yong'anfang and Datongfang.

She reasonably suspected that the chaos in the two markets was caused by the same person or the same group of people.

"Their base is in Dunyifang. We have not yet found out which official they are colluding with."

The incident happened only a few days ago, so it is normal that it has not been discovered for a while.

“You guys keep investigating. I plan to give them a stimulus in the next two days. I’m afraid they will go looking for their backers then.

I don't have time during the day, so you guys just have to work harder and keep a closer eye on it."

In fact, Lu Jiao is free during the day, but he can't let Lu Wei and the others rely entirely on him, right?

She also realized that among these seven people, Tian Tian was the best in both martial arts and intelligence, but unfortunately she was a girl.

She could only rely on Lu Jiao to improve her status openly and secretly.

When she gets the hang of things and the other brothers are used to her giving orders, Tian Tian can secure her position as the big sister.

At that time, Lu Jiao will be able to really let go and concentrate on cultivating his own strength.

After Lu Jiao finished explaining, he bought a few roast ducks near Caishikou and returned to the Prince's Mansion before curfew.

Seeing Lu Jiao coming back at this time, the guard at the back door couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Brother Lu, you just came back! Just when you left the house, a little brother came to see you!"

Lu Jiao paused and handed a lotus leaf bag to the guard: "Brothers, you have worked hard. Go back and add some dishes.

Who is coming to see me?

Have you found the back door of Guiyan Pavilion?

“He said he was Qingchuan from the Cheng family, I don’t know if you know him.

If I don't know him, next time this guy comes, I'll have my brothers kick him out!"

Qingchuan?

Lu Jiao immediately thought of this person, but the timing of his arrival was a bit subtle.

It’s hard to believe that Qingchuan came here just to play with him.

Lu Jiao put the thought behind her and shook her head: "No, no, I do know him. Did he say anything else?"

The guard thought about what his brother said when he changed shifts: "No, he said he came here, but he didn't mention why."

"Thank you, brother!"

Lu Jiao didn't take Qingchuan's little thoughts to heart at all. This was the normal situation.

If someone pops up one day and claims that he doesn't want anything but just likes Lu Jiao, she should suspect whether that person has bigger ambitions.

When Lu Jiao returned to the yard, Kaiyang and the others were all sitting around a table eating.

I was a little surprised to see her back.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be back tonight? Are you done?"

Lu Jiao gave out another roast duck: "It's done for now. I have nothing to do for the next two days. What's wrong?"

Kaiyang glanced at Kuilang secretly, seeming to want to say something but hesitant. He wanted to speak but felt that it was not his right to speak.

For a moment, the yard fell into silence.

All that could be heard was the sound of chopsticks hitting dishes and the slow chewing of people.

Then there is the sound of water flowing in the pond not far away.

Lu Jiao smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say?"

Now not only Kaiyang, but also Xingxuan and Liuhuo looked at Kuilang.

Kuilang swallowed the food in his mouth and said stiffly, "Why are you looking at me? Share the roast duck!"

He looked at Lu Jiao again: "The prince wants to see you for something, please come over later!"

Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows, guessing that Yan Yuanhao had made up his mind to send her to the northwest.

She waved her hand to indicate that she understood, then turned around and went back to her room.

Behind him, there was also Kuilang's dissatisfied complaint, of course not to Lu Jiao, but to Kaiyang and the others.

Lu Ze was originally sitting on a chair, looking very serious. When he saw Lu Jiao coming back, he was so happy that his eyebrows could not be controlled and almost flew up.
