Turbulent Times Chapter 910: Millennium Manor

Although you can't play it up close, seeing it from such a distance is enough to entertain ordinary people, and it can also be an experience to show off to others.

In fact, this thousand-year-old manor bears the deep imprint of the Lu family. Every brick, every tile, every grass and every tree, every step and every pavilion, is not so gorgeous and dazzling, but reveals a The unique luxury and the heaviness of history are not found in some nouveau riche or new aristocrats.

Moreover, in the eyes of a truly knowledgeable person, it can be seen that every detail in this pet manor is impeccable. Every material and design is ingenious, and in the eyes of a general who is proficient in defensive battles, it can be seen that this manor is not only high in walls, but the courtyard seems to be defenseless, but as long as simple modifications are made, it can be restored in a very short time. Within a short period of time, it can become a small town bunker that can be guarded for half a year. As for how much food, weapons, armor, bows and crossbows are hidden in it... Maybe only Lu himself knows, and to be precise, only the Lu family's suzerain knows.

Obviously, as early as a thousand years ago when the Lu family manor was built, the Lu family members considered the issue of defense and safety, so they deliberately chose to build it next to the mountain, and the courtyard wall built along the foot of the mountain was also as high as Two feet away, tourists standing on the official road can only see the flying eaves inside, but stand closer to hear the sound of gurgling water inside. As for climbing to the big mountain behind to overlook the whole Lushi Manor, that is absolutely impossible.

Because this mountain is Lu's private property, and the main roads to the mountain are guarded by Lu's soldiers, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. The reason for such strict guarding is obviously not only to prevent outsiders from prying eyes on Lu's Manor. If there are no shady secrets hidden in the back mountain, people with a little knowledge will never believe it.

…

…

The weather today is not very good, the cold wind in early winter, Lu Jianheng and Sun Yang are surrounded by dozens of guards in the carriage, walking alone on the wide road to Lu's Manor, not as usual. The three or two tourists who arrived and the scholars who went to Lu's Academy.

The carriage stopped strangely outside the side door. Lu Jianheng opened the corner of the car curtain, and saw a person walking out of the inner door of the mansion with a somewhat excited expression. The person who escorted him out was Lu Youwei, Lu Bian's second son, No. 2 in the Lu family.

The guest who was sent was a man who was slightly fatter and looked about forty or fifty years old, but he could still be seen as a military general. He got into his carriage with help.

Lu Jianheng put down the curtain of the car, looked back at Sun Yang, and said with a puzzled face: "Fan Yang, Dou Shihai, the Zhonglang general of the Navy, why is he here?"

Sun Yang also looked puzzled, although he knew that Lu Shi had secret contacts with Fan Yang Sai Shi, but Dou Shihai seldom came to Lu Shihai in person.

Although Dou Shihai is the same as the general guard of Fanyang County, he is from the fourth rank, but the Fanyang Navy is not under the jurisdiction of the county government, and is directly under the majesty and the court, with thousands of warships and 20,000 troops. It is one of the two major naval divisions of the Sui Dynasty, and the other is the Jiangdu Navy in the south of the Yangtze River, with an army of 30,000. It sounds like a lot of troops, but the Sui Empire, Beijing Army, State Army, County Soldiers and County Soldiers, as well as Frontier Army, add up to two to three million, of which only 50,000 are sailors. From this ratio, it can be seen that two Emperor Sui and the imperial court did not value navy.

But even if he doesn't take it seriously, Dou Shihai has 20,000 troops under his command, and in Fanyang County, he is a light-weight figure, far from what Sun Yang, the general guard of Fanyang County, can compare with. You can see it by sending it off in person.

…

…

"Grandfather, I have already confessed." Lu Jianheng got out of the carriage, entered the Lu's manor, and walked all the way to the outside of the study where Lu Bian, the patriarch of the Lu family, was looking at the study meticulously no matter whether Lu Bian could see it or not. After saluting, he said loudly.

The voice of Lu Bianlue, the contemporary owner of the Lu family, was a little tired and comforting from inside the house: "I have always restrained my clansmen, but the people below are used to being arrogant. I must tell them not to be let down by the new prefect. If you catch the handle, it is... Jianheng, you have always been calm, and now you have to be more careful, if there is something unclean, deal with it as soon as possible, and don't leave any tails behind."

"Grandfather, my grandson has never done anything against the law of the Sui Dynasty, and he is not afraid of Wang Junlin." Lu Jianheng said solemnly.

The study was silent for a while before a voice came out: "In order to get the mother and daughter raised in the county three years ago, you ordered a group of horse thieves to kill a caravan. I know about this. Maybe Wang Junlin will know that if he sends people to arrest you according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, although I think I can protect you, it will be a troublesome thing in the end."

In the cold weather, Lu Jianheng's forehead was covered with sweat in a short time. He thought that this incident had not been done by anyone in the family, and it was done by a horse thief he had raised in private. How could grandpa know? But he didn't dare to make any more excuses, and lowered his head and said, "Grandson is wrong, so grandson will go back to the county and settle this matter overnight."

"Go!" Lu Bian said calmly, obviously he didn't care about the life and death of the poor mother and daughter, all he cared about was that this matter should not become an excuse for Wang Junlin to deal with Lu Jianheng.

"Yes, grandfather, grandson is leaving." Lu Jianheng wiped off the sweat on his forehead, turned around and left quickly, while ordering the attendants guarding the door to prepare a carriage and guards to go to the county town immediately, while thinking: grandfather knows Teach me, the woman who is with him in the study at this time is not the one who killed the other party's family back then.

Although he secretly slandered in his heart, he still secretly felt sorry for the mother and daughter in the county town, but it was a pity, and he would not show mercy when it was time to strike, Lu Jianheng A ruthless look flickered in his eyes.

…

…

In the study room, Lu Bian, who was in his sixties, had a look of tiredness on his face, and slightly closed his eyes. A beautiful young woman in his mid-twenties was gently rubbing his shoulders.

"Let Dou Shihai take the sailors to destroy the pirates on Snake Island. It took a lot of money to win over." Lu Bian suddenly said slowly.

The beautiful young woman smiled slightly, like a lotus flower that bloomed instantly, she was extremely charming, and said softly: "Master, I think I did nothing wrong in this matter, and with Wang Junlin's mind, I will definitely doubt that Snake Island The pirates are related to our Lu family. Judging from the evil deeds of the four officials in Changxiang County that he has grasped since he came, it is very likely that the power of the Blue Yiwei Mansion to inquire about information is still used by him. Island, find some evidence against Lu Shi, and use it as an opportunity to deal with Lu Shi, the consequences will be disastrous!"
