Lu Han laughed, "If I say this, I can't be troublesome."

Chu Suiliang was so anxious that he knocked Xu Jingzong hard, "I want you to talk too much!"

He clasped his hands and begged Lu Han: "I really want to move, Brother Lu must do this."

Lu Han took a sip of wine and said slowly: "You can ask me for help, but you have to explain it to me clearly, why do you look down on the Yu family's daughter?"

Chu Suiliang had no choice but to say, "I don't like her. We have been engaged since childhood and will marry her in a few months. It's just that it's not convenient to live there. Although my mentor didn't say anything, I think I should leave."

"So that's it. It seems that I'm wrong to blame my brother. In fact, I've found a house for you, not far from your current residence. A small house, about one and a half acres, and the rent is ten jin of Kaihuang money per month. The owner said that if you are willing to pay the rent with gold, he can make another concession in terms of the exchange rate of copper coins."

Chu Suiliang immediately agreed happily, "Then it's a matter of just one word, I'll go see the house tomorrow."

The Chu Suiliang family is a wealthy family in Yuhang County. Their family is not short of money, but they lack relationships in Zhong, so they asked Lu Han for help.

Zhao Siliang next to him was secretly talking. The rent for a small acre and a half acre house costs ten guan a month, and his monthly salary is only fifteen guan a month. Wouldn't most of the rent be paid?

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "How much does a small house like this cost to sell for a half acres?"

Lu Han smiled and said, "Now the houses in Zhongdu are not something that can be bought with money. All the wealthy families in all counties and counties in the world want to have a house in Zhongdu as the destination for entering Beijing. For example, Chu Xiandi and his family want to buy a piece of land in Zhongdu and bid for fifty taels of gold to buy one acre of land, but they just can't buy it. This small house is my relative's house. The location is very good, less than a hundred steps away from Ziwei Palace, and it can be called a Feng Shui treasure land. At the beginning of the year, someone paid 100 taels of gold to buy it, but my relative refused to sell it."

Zhao Siliang was stunned when he heard this. Gold was very expensive. One or two golds could be exchanged for thirty guans of Kaihuang money. Isn’t this small house worth 3,000 guan? And it’s a kilometer of money? This is too exaggerated.

He exclaimed for a while: "The three-acre house in our Liucheng County is only sold for 30 stakes, which is two hundred times different!"

"There is no way to do this. Zhongdu is so big. All the wealthy families in the world come to buy it. It would be strange if the price is not as high as the genius."

"Then what should we poor children do? I will not eat or drink for twenty years before I can afford a small house of one and a half acres." Zhao Siliang was really a little depressed.

Chu Suiliang patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that bad. Jinshi is usually promoted very quickly. My brother can temporarily live in an official house for two or three years. Now I am from an eighth-rank official with two single houses. By the next year, I will have three houses for a single person. If I work for another two years, I will be from a seventh-rank official and I can apply for an exile. The exile is usually a small county magistrate. At this time, there will be an official house, and you can start a family and start a career, bring your parents to your side, and be an official for ten years outside. If you transfer to Beijing, you will be a fifth-rank official. According to the court regulations, a fifth-rank official has five acres of official houses. So, your housing problem will be solved, and you don't have to spend a penny by yourself."

Zhao Siliang smiled bitterly. Things are not that simple. He has no background background and it is too difficult to be released as a county magistrate. This time, the Ministry of Personnel sent an official. The reason why he took the initiative to apply to stay in the capital was because he had many connections in the capital, so he could slowly find the backstage. For a poor child like him, if he did not have a background background, it would not be his turn to do anything good. Just suffer a little!

However, Zhao Siliang himself knew that his salary would increase year by year. Even if he didn't live in the official residence, he could afford to rent a house in three years. Moreover, the official residence of the seventh-rank official is a single courtyard with six rooms. He could marry and have children, so he really didn't have to worry too much.

"Thank you, Brother Chu, for your comfort. I just lament that the housing prices in the capital are expensive, so there is no other meaning."

"Just be open-minded, come on! Let's drink."

The four continued to drink. At this moment, several officials at the table next to them were arguing loudly, "Nothing is said, "Lu Shangshu is honest and honest. How could he rob the son of the son occupy the fertile land?"

"He is honest and honest in the official position. He has already served as the Minister of State and has made enough money before. Of course he is very honest now, but what about it before? There is evidence that Wang Shichong confiscated five thousand hectares of fertile land in Xingyang County, all of which are under his son's name. Where do you think these fertile land come from? Not to mention whether he was corrupt or not, how could an official's son own so much land?"

"Who is Wang Shichong? Is there no precedent for him to harm others' names in order to attack political enemies? He had said before that Wei Jin had falsely reported his military sources and embezzled 200,000 chunks of military pay. Do you think it is possible?"

"I need to check whether there is any illegality before I know, but I think since I have even details, I will definitely not talk nonsense, and it must be well documented."

The lobby was full of discussion, and Lu Han was very surprised. He asked the bartender who came to serve the food and said, "What happened to Lu Shangshu just now?"

"Don't you know? This matter has spread throughout the world."

"What the hell is it?"

The bartender sighed and said, "There has been a list of people in the past two days. It is the manors of Lu Chu's son in various places in Xingyang County. The list is very detailed. The location of each manor and the number of fertile land are clearly written on the list. It is said that the source is a list of Wang Shichong's confiscation of Lu Chu's property. I don't know whether it is true or false. This incident is very terrible and is talking about it everywhere."

Lu Han suddenly became worried. Lu Chu was his uncle. If this rumor was true, it would not only seriously damage the reputation of the family, but even he would be implicated.

This sudden rumor made Lu Han not have the intention to continue eating. He sued and said goodbye first. The other three people returned to the office soon after.

Rumors about Lu Chu's indulgence in his son's annexation of land are spreading more and more in Zhongdu. Since this is the first case involving a high-ranking official in the Northern Sui Dynasty, almost the entire Zhongdu is talking about this matter. Those who believe it are, and those who don't believe it are.

But under the promotion of the perverted, Zhongdu began to talk about the wealth of the Lu family. Everyone knows that the Lu family was the first aristocratic family to buy land in Zhongdu. At least thousands of acres of land were bought. According to the current market price, how much is the value of these land? Many people began to exclaim that the Lu family had become a wealthy family that was as rich as a country. The Lu family, which had always been low-key, was finally involved in a storm of public opinion.

The next morning, a large carriage parked in front of the Qi Palace. A man in his thirties walked out of the carriage. He had a medium figure and big ears. He looked a bit like the princess of Qi Lu Qing. This person was Lu Qinghong, the eldest brother of Lu Qinghong. Lu Zhuo and his wife Cui raised two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Lu Qinghong, the second son Lu Qingyuan, and the younger daughter was Lu Qing.

Lu Qingyuan has always followed his father, and finally followed Zhang Xuan to become a military officer. He is currently the chief of Zhuo County. His eldest son Lu Qinghong became an official in Bingzhou after he became a Jinshi in Daye for three years. He was promoted from county magistrate to county magistrate and then served as the chief of Lishi County. He had a good relationship with Li Yuan. Li Yuan was not hostile to Zhang Xuan's wife and brother-in-law. Instead, he was preparing to transfer him to Chang'an to serve as the Minister of Justice last year.

But Lu Qinghong finally chose Zhongdu. Last year, he resigned as the county magistrate and returned to the Northern Sui Dynasty to serve as the Minister of the Shaofu Temple, in charge of the Zuozang wealth and money casting of the Northern Sui Dynasty. Because he was low-key, many people knew that the brother of the Princess Qi was Lu Qingyuan, but they did not know that Lu Qinghong was also the eldest brother of the Princess Qi.

Lu Qinghong hurried to the central hall under the guidance of the housekeeper. As soon as he sat down, he heard a sound of ring pendants. A large group of maids surrounded the princess and walked in. Lu Qinghong quickly got up and saluted, "I'm going to see the princess!"

Lu Qing waved his hand, "I asked my elder brother to come today, just to talk about family affairs, so my elder brother doesn't have to perform the rituals of the monarch and the ministers."

Lu Qinghong nodded and said, "What's the matter with my little sister looking for Brother Yu?"

Lu Qing waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Lu Qinghong sat down, Lu Qing asked the maid to serve tea, and then asked: "The incident of the second uncle and the son of the family has been widely circulated. Even I have heard of it. This incident has a great impact on the reputation of the Lu family. I want to hear the explanation from my elder brother."

Almost half of the Lu family members live in Zhongdu. As the heir to the head of the family, Lu Qinghong was naturally responsible for the family affairs of Zhongdu. Lu Qinghong was smart and skillful. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this what the King of Qi meant?"

"Don't worry about who it means, I'm asking you now!" Lu Qing's tone began to feel a little dissatisfied.

Lu Qinghong immediately understood that it must have been the Princess who had entrusted the princess to ask him. He didn't dare to deal with his younger sister casually. He pondered for a moment: "I saw that list and asked the second uncle about it. The second uncle did not deny that he was indeed banned by Erlang's name, but there was a hidden truth."

"What's the secret?"
