After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor
Chapter 166 The Chen Family
Xuan Qing stood up and snorted coldly: "Unowned land, first come first served, you guys go to the next one."
The man stared at Xuan Qing and said arrogantly, "What kind of bastards are you? How dare you let us go? Get out of here right now, or I'll make you pay for it."
Xuan Qing looked at them coldly, his smile extremely mocking: "Who will take the blame? It's still uncertain."
A casual male voice came from the room: "Don't waste time talking to them. If they refuse to leave, then beat them out."
"Yes."
There are about twenty people in this group, all of them are strong and burly. In comparison, there are also several female relatives on their side. In terms of numbers, Lu Jiangnian's side looks much weaker.
But what does kung fu have to do with the number of people?
As soon as Xuanying, Xuanqing and Shihai attacked, 70% to 80% of the opponents were unable to fight back.
In just a short moment, those people fell to the ground, and the contempt in their eyes was no longer there.
However, they still refused to give in: "You are really too presumptuous. Do you know who our young master is?"
"Our young master is the son of Lord Chen, the Minister of Rites, and his aunt is Madam Zhaohua. How dare you disrespect us!"
Chen family?
Before Lu Jiangnian left the capital, Chen Zhengquan's matter had been settled.
The emperor, taking into account the reputation of Madam Zhaohua and the fifth prince, tacitly agreed to the scapegoat pushed by the Chen family, and all the blame was placed on Chen San.
However, the emperor was also annoyed with Chen Ben because of this. When he went to court, he took the opportunity to criticize Chen Ben for his incompetence, poor family management, and damaged his official reputation. He fined him two years' salary to see what would happen next.
If there are any more mistakes, you will be demoted directly.
The emperor did this to shut other people up.
After all, he was partial this time.
Madam Zhaohua was sensible and never asked for mercy because of her nephew's affairs, but she was depressed every day, crying silently, and she lost a lot of weight.
He saw it and felt bad.
After all, she was the person he had loved over the years, so he could only let her go.
However, the Chen and Jiang families have committed too many crimes recently, and he has also been quite dissatisfied with the Fifth Prince. Madam Zhaohua has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she is not aware of the affairs of the Chen and Jiang families, so it cannot be blamed on her.
However, the Fifth Prince had already established his own household and had frequent dealings with the Chen and Jiang families. He actually did not properly control the two families, which led to him being entangled in many troubles and scandals.
Therefore, the original plan to have the fifth prince enter the court to take up an important position was also delayed.
Lu Jiangnian had already found out all this information.
I also know that the emperor is also dissatisfied with the third prince.
A while ago, the third prince and the fifth prince had a big fight. The emperor blamed everything on the third prince and reprimanded him several times.
In short, this time, the prince was perfectly invisible and reaped the benefits.
Lu Jiangnian originally thought that after all these things happened, the Chen family should have kept a low profile, but he didn't expect that they would still dare to act so arrogantly in the name of Madam Zhaohua.
He winked at Xuanqing, and Xuanqing understood what he meant.
Xuan Qing snorted coldly: "The Chen family is the Chen family. What does it have to do with Madam Zhaohua? If it is Madam Zhaohua who is inside now, then we should let her go. Others who are not related should find their own place to go."
"It's too crowded here. There's no room for you."
The man didn't expect that these people would be so disrespectful.
Finally, the person in the carriage opened the curtain, looked into the house through the drizzling raindrops, and happened to meet Lu Jiangnian's eyes.
The two of them are acquaintances.
The person in the carriage was Chen Zhengxuan, Chen Zhengquan’s elder brother.
This person is a magical one. He was born into a family of officials, but he never thought about becoming an official. He only loved making money.
Despite being so young, he already owns many properties and can be considered a wealthy man.
He doesn't care about anything else and is really obsessed with money.
A while ago, the fifth prince got married. He was doing business in the south and didn't have time to rush back, but he prepared a generous gift.
Chen Zhengxuan changed his lazy demeanor and laughed heartily, "I was wondering who it was, bringing up my aunt's name without any fear. Turns out to be the brave and unrivaled Prince Lu."
"It's been a long time since we last met. Master Lu is known to be forgetful. Have you forgotten Chen?"
The people around Chen Zhengxuan were all his capable assistants who followed him around the country. They were also his confidants whom he cultivated later. They didn't know much about the aristocratic families in the capital.
In addition, Lu Jiangnian had not often appeared in the capital for many years, so these people were short-sighted and did not see Lu Jiangnian's origins.
Lu Jiangnian didn't expect that it was Chen Zhengxuan, the only person in the Chen family that he liked.
Why do you say that?
Because this person is a complete villain.
As long as the money is in place, everything can be discussed. Chen Zhengxuan doesn't like to hear hypocritical words, he only likes real money.
Once, he had something to ask Chen Zhengxuan for help. As long as he got the money, Chen Zhengxuan would do his best to do the job.
Unexpectedly, I met you here.
Lu Jiangnian smiled meaningfully: "I didn't expect to see Boss Chen here. Are you going back to Beijing?"
Chen Zhengxuan nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't been back for more than half a year. I have a business deal to discuss in the capital."
"I didn't expect to encounter such horrible weather on the road."
He said in a gentle voice, "Master Lu, we are all acquaintances. I wonder if you could be so kind as to lend me the room and pay me a small fortune."
Lu Jiangnian said coldly, "Boss Chen, you're joking. We're not close friends."
"I won't charge for the accommodation, but there really aren't that many places here. You should find somewhere else to take shelter from the rain."
Since everyone knows each other's personality, there is no need for so many twists and turns.
Chen Zhengxuan knew that if Madam Zhaohua and the Fifth Prince were mentioned, most people would give the Chen family some face, but Lu Jiangnian would not be among these people.
He is the prince's childhood friend, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor. He does not need to give face to anyone.
"Chen will not embarrass the prince, but we are out in the wilderness, it is already dark, and we don't know where the next place to take shelter from the rain is."
"Since we have worked together before, Prince Lu, please make room for Chen. These people under Chen will not go in and disturb Prince Lu."
He couldn't win with power, couldn't compete with force, and no one wanted his money, so he had no choice but to lower his posture.
Businessmen are the best at judging the situation.
Lu Jiangnian lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, "In that case, Boss Chen owes me a favor. If you need it in the future, Boss Chen will repay the favor."
Chen Zhengxuan laughed heartily: "Everyone says I'm good at business, but in fact, Master Lu is no less capable."
"Deal. As long as Chen can do it, I will definitely repay you in the future."
Yuan Wanru quietly watched the two people interacting with each other, and couldn't help but feel curious. According to Lu Jiangnian's past behavior, he should be at odds with the Chen family, but now it seems that the two of them are quite harmonious.
Lu Jiangnian glanced at her with a smile: "This person is different from Chen Zhengquan. It's not a bad thing to do him a favor."
