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

If you stay outside the courtyard gate for too long, you might be driven away by the prince's guards.

"Boss Hong, we can't wait like this any longer!"

Hong Cai's eyes flashed with malicious calculation: "Don't worry, I have an idea."

Lu Jiao didn’t know that someone was trying to plot against her, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t take it to heart.

At this moment, she is strolling outside.

I accidentally walked to Tianshui Lane.

The group of strong men who were squatting at the entrance of the alley, waiting to be hired, have disappeared.

Lu Jiao walked to a roadside tea stall, ordered a large bowl of tea, and pretended to be confused.

"There were many coolies in Tianshui Lane before, why is there not a single one today?"

The tea stall owner looked around, especially at the door of the shop next door, at the few people with sharp eyes.

He whispered, "Little brother, don't make a fuss! Something big has happened in Tianshui Alley!"

I heard that they were also involved in some royal possessions, and that everyone inside was arrested and taken to the Jinwu Guard camp!"

Lu Jiao held the cup of tea and sat behind the boss to listen to the gossip.

A few curious people also gathered around.

Some of them witnessed the arrest with their own eyes and started talking about it.

"How did he get taken to the Jinwu Guards' camp? Shouldn't this kind of theft normally be handled by the Shuntian Prefecture government?"

"You don't know this, it's a big deal!

I heard that there was a theft in the palace, and when they were tracking down the stolen goods, they found this Wang Po.

Only then was the man taken to the Jinwu Guard camp for interrogation.

The yamen runners in Shuntian Prefecture are not on the same level as the Jinwu Guards."

"I don't think it's possible for Wang Po to come back."

"Why are you still feeling sorry for Grandma Wang?

Don't you know? My relative works in the government office.

I heard that this Wang Po was involved with the Qinming House that caught fire earlier, and she had sent many children there!"

“Wow——there’s such a thing!”

After hearing this, the boss didn't even want to take care of the stall and squeezed next to the table to listen to the gossip.

Anyone who wants to drink tea can go and get a refill.

Lu Jiao directed his mental power over there and saw that the door to Wang Po's courtyard was sealed.

There was no one in the yard, all the belongings had been looted, not even a piece of paper was left.

The entrance to the tunnel that led to another courtyard was also uncovered, but the people who were searching didn't cover it up, so it was left open.

It’s a pity that this place has been exposed, otherwise it would be nice to buy the yards on both sides and use them as a base for the people of southern Yunnan.

However, Lu Jiao did not feel regretful for long.

There are 25 main streets crisscrossing the capital from east to west and from north to south, with a total of 110 markets.

As long as you put in the effort and have enough money, it is not difficult to find such a yard.

If there is no tunnel, just dig it yourself.

Lu Jiao returned to the Lu residence, and when Uncle Zuo saw that it was her who came back, his face was full of smiles.

"Sir, you're back!"

Lu Jiao nodded at him: "Is everything alright at home?"

When Uncle Zuo heard Lu Jiao's words, the smile on his face became even brighter.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, the guys are just a little busy, but they are in good spirits.

They are all very happy that it can finally be put to use.”

Before in the capital, they could only lie dormant and wait to be activated.

After waiting day after day, even Lu Wei began to doubt himself.

Apart from tending to flowers and plants and sending money to Concubine Shu, what is the meaning of their existence?

Now, there are things for them to worry about, and they are all busy.

It is no longer like before, hidden from the public.

It feels so good to stand in the sun like this!

Lu Jiao couldn't help but feel happy for them.

When he saw Lu Wei, he was even more shocked.

"Uncle Wei, how come you... look so much younger!"

"Really?" Lu Wei touched his face embarrassedly.

Tian Er, who was standing aside, couldn't help but smile.

Lu Jiao's eyes lingered between the two of them: "What are you two doing? Are you going to have something good happen?"

In the original plot, after all the people from Southern Dian in the palace were eliminated, Tian Er also organized an assassination.

It was this assassination that made the emperor angry.

They immediately sent people to reprimand the ruler of Southern Dian and increased the annual tribute. Later, Daxia repeatedly provoked the border of Jiang State, and the people of Jiang State deliberately led Daxia's soldiers into the territory of Southern Dian.

Frequent wars, coupled with the fact that southern Yunnan has many mountains and little arable land.

Not long after, the king's family was overthrown by the aristocratic families in southern Yunnan, and the entire country was incorporated into the Jiang Kingdom.

Lu Jiao was not disgusted by Tian Er's behavior.

She is just an ordinary person with ordinary emotions.

She would never have thought that one of her actions would implicate the entire Southern Dian Kingdom.

But even if Tian Er knew there would be such consequences, I'm afraid he would still do it without hesitation.

The person she loved was killed by the king's sister. It didn't matter to her whether the country existed or not.

Lu Jiao came to a conclusion: Concubine Shu’s love brain is really terrible!

Tian Er looked at Lu Wei shyly, and the latter's face was also a little hot.

The man in his thirties felt uneasy and didn't know where to put his hands.

"There are so many things going on right now, it's not the time to have a wedding."

The smile on Tian Er's face gradually faded, but Lu Wei did not completely refuse. She still had expectations in her heart.

Lu Jiao noticed her changes and thought that she should stimulate this straightforward man.

"I think Sister Tian is young and pretty, so it would be a disadvantage for her to be paired with Uncle Wei. He keeps making excuses, so let's find someone else."

As he said that, he took Tian Er's hand and took her aside, and winked at her when Lu Wei couldn't see.

Tian Er immediately understood what the young master meant.

The two of them talked seriously about choosing a husband.

One dares to ask, the other dares to answer.

Lu Wei, who was listening from the side, felt that there was something fishy going on on his head.

"Stop talking! I can't even marry you!"

Lu Jiao shook her head. It was impossible for her to let Lu Wei go so easily. "No, no, how can it be possible if you agree so reluctantly?"

"No force, no force!"

"That won't work either!" Lu Jiao refused firmly.

Tian Er was secretly anxious, but he couldn't let things get out of hand!

Lu Weiyi was confused: "Why not?"

Lu Jiao pointed in the direction of the gate and said, "Are you planning to marry Sister Tian like this?

Just hold the wedding banquet at home. Even if we don't have to go through three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, at least there should be a big red wedding sedan!

Otherwise, it would be a shame for a beautiful lady like Sister Tian to marry a thirty-something old man like you!"

Lu Wei also reacted now: "I am so abrupt! Tian Tian, don't worry! You have everything that others have! I have equipped you with everything!"

"Who asked you to buy it! I can buy it myself!"

Lu Jiao looked at the two of them flirting with each other and felt that this house would definitely be very lively at this time next year.

When Tian Er got shy and hid away, Lu Jiao talked to Lu Wei about business: "Do you still have the money from before?"

"some."

Lu Wei took out a few contracts from the bookshelf and handed them to Lu Jiao.

"These places are all shops we rented after investigation."

Lu Jiao took a quick look and saw that the rent ranged from twenty taels to one hundred taels.

But she didn't know the names of those streets, so she had no idea whether they were expensive or not.

"If the landlords are willing, we can buy all these shops."
