The news that Gu Zhilun was convicted of the eighteen cardinal crimes caused an uproar in Lianghe and Liaodong like a bomb.

Gu Zhilun came to Bianzhou from Bingzhou, he didn't even be able to meet Lu Zheng, you must know that when he was in Bingzhou, his identity was Guanneihou, the identity of a first-class officer, and when he arrived under the city of Bianzhou, his official position was already from Jiupin County Lieutenant, Lu Zheng gave an order every day, and demoted him to a first-level official in one day.

In Bianzhou, the Criminal Department and the Third Division directly tried him, and there were a total of eighteen charges, each of which pointed to the path that the powerful lords like today, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng is using this way to warn all the powerful lords to let everyone settle down, Lu Zheng is really going to kill him!

Now the second question is that Gu Zhilun has committed so many crimes, will Lu Zheng kill him? This is particularly striking.

In Shengjing, Liaodong, Gu Tiansheng and Gu Tianyang of the Gu family personally landed at the door of the house to see Lu Shanchang, after the two met, Gu Tiansheng said: "Brother Lu, this time Gu Zhilun committed such a serious crime, if you want to talk about it, the reason is that our family education is not strict, which has caused a big disaster!"

We are all old, and we old men on the young side can't speak, we can only come to visit Brother Lu today, and we only have one thing we want to express about Gu Zhilun, that is, no matter how the prince deals with it, our Gu family supports it, and our family has decided to expel this fang from the house, and will not let it return to the ancestral hall from now on! ”

Lu Shanchang frowned slightly, he was not surprised by the Gu family's attitude, but he thought that when Gu Zhilun was in full swing, the Gu family was accommodating and dependent on him in every way, and even when Gu Zhilun left Liaodong to go to Merge Prefecture, the Gu brothers also came to the door so that Lu Shanchang could say a few words to help them stabilize the situation.

Now that less than a year has passed, the Gu family suddenly changed their faces, as the head of the four families in Jiangnan, such a style of acting will inevitably make people feel disdainful, it is really a bit too much!

However, the Gu family's attitude is right, because this time Lu Zheng is killing Gu Zhilun to set an example, Gu Zhilun is certainly going to be finished, and the next matter can't be put down so gently. If you move a Gu Zhilun and take a start, you will definitely move other people, and even some families will suffer. And the family that is most likely to suffer is the Gu family, and Lu Shanchang still doesn't want the Gu family to be destroyed, because for him, it is best for everyone in Jiangnan to be a family.

However, Lu Zheng's major affairs cannot be destroyed, if the Gu family is really unfavorable to the overall situation and has to be eradicated, Lu Shanchang will definitely not be soft.

"Lao Gu, it's all empty talk when I talk about it in Liaodong, the key is how to talk about it in Bianzhou? Is there anyone around the prince to show his attitude? Lu Shan said.

Gu Tianyang said: "Brother Lu, this point will definitely not be negligent, several people in charge of the second generation of our Gu family have immediately gone to Bianzhou after hearing the news, and they should have arrived in Bianzhou at this time...... I don't know if they will have a chance to meet the prince! ”

Lu Shanchang said: "Regardless of whether you can see the prince or not, there is one thing I hope the Gu family can understand, that is, the four families in Jiangnan can rise, and it is the prince who gives him the opportunity!" If we don't cherish this opportunity, the prince can take it back at any time, and at that time, I'm afraid hehe, a lot of things are not easy to say, I hope you can understand it yourself, and you can understand it! ”

"Brother Lu, how can we not understand when you say this? If you don't understand it anymore, you will become pretending to be confused! Brother Lu rest assured, as long as the prince orders, our Gu family will not disobey! Not only the Gu family, but also all of us in the Jiangnan Four should set an example and abandon all kinds of bad habits and vices in the powerful and wealthy families, so as to do a good job in our Lianghe and Liaodong, and work together from top to bottom, so that we can have a future! Gu Tianyang said.

Gu Tiansheng continued: "Now that the way of the powerful and wealthy families has gone crooked, and our Dakang has not yet been unified, many families only care about their own interests, and usually intrigue above the court, secretly just for the enclosure and the growth of the family.

The foundation of the existence of the powerful family is to be both prosperous and lose with the country, and what is the need for the existence of the powerful family without this foundation? There's no need to exist! If we want to become the top powerful lords, we should support the prince, take the prince as the foundation, and take the unification of Dakang as the goal. ”

The Gu brothers' statement can be said to be unexpected by Lu Shanchang, seeing the two old guys swearing so much and being generous, Lu Shanchang couldn't help but sigh that he knew today, why did he bother in the first place?

After the Gu brothers left, Lu Shanchang paced back and forth at home alone, unable to calm down for a long time. In the end, he still wrote a letter to Lu Zheng, the content of the letter is very simple, that is, although the four major lords in Jiangnan have made mistakes, they are not unable to change, and knowing their mistakes can improve greatly.

At the same time, Lu Shanchang also proposed to Lu Zheng how to correct the chronic diseases of the powerful and wealthy families from the root, and these methods are naturally iron-blooded methods and grace and power. In addition, Lu Shanchang wrote a sentence at the end of the letter: "Gu Zhilun must be punished, and not being punished is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao!" ”

At this time in Bianzhou, Lu Zheng also received countless letters, no matter which aspect these excerpts came from, whether they were the prime minister or the six ministries and nine qing, more than ninety percent of the excerpts were Gu Zhilun to kill! The tree is falling and scattered, and the death of a Gu Zhilun can reassure many people......

And after Lu Zheng received Lu Shanchang's letter, his heart was even more confused, he looked around and found that there was no one around him who could speak. In the end, he withdrew all the left and right, paced in the courtyard alone, and unconsciously walked into Liu Kun's courtyard.

Liu Kun likes flowers, there are a lot of flowers in the yard, the climate was very bad in Liaodong before, there is no way to realize this hobby of Liu Kun, now after the two rivers, the climate is slightly better, and Liu Kun has something to do every day.

The flowers in the small yard are very luxuriant, the notes of the moon are trimmed very beautifully, and there are several girls who accompany him every day to serve these flowers and plants, and when he saw Lu Zheng coming, Liu Su exclaimed "Ah ......" and said: "Lord Wang, why didn't you send someone to say a word when you came over, you look at the slave family's ......"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Don't panic, I'll just come over and take a look, what's all the fuss?" Serve the flowers and plants, can't I accompany you? ”

Liu Kun said: "The prince takes care of all opportunities every day, and it is the work of idlers to serve flowers and plants, where can I work for the prince!" ”

Liu Su beckoned the maid to serve tea to Lu Zheng, and she herself came out to pour tea for Lu Zheng in person after changing her clothes, and the maids were hiding far away, this woman was Bingxue and smart, knowing that Lu Zheng must have wanted to talk to her alone at this time.

This didn't mean that she dispersed the others, and accompanied Lu Zheng alone.

Lu Zheng said: "Liu Kun, do you remember what happened in Yangzhou back then?" ”

Liu Su was stunned for a moment, showed a smile at Lu Zheng, and said, "Why don't you remember?" I remember every bit of Yangzhou, but after many years, things are different from people, and there are fewer old people over the years......"

Liu Kun was a little sad when he said this, you must know that when the Zhang family fell, almost all the men of the Zhang family were killed or confiscated, and those who could survive were simply rare. Until now, the orthodox Zhang family is only Zhang Haoran, the only seedling.

Zhang Haoran gave birth to five sons, and now the eldest son is in his early teens. This alone can see how many disasters the Zhang family has suffered and how much tempering it has undergone.

Liu Kun's sentence sounds very simple, but the meaning behind this sentence is very heavy and deep!

Lu Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Gu Zhilun is not an old man in Yangzhou?" Does this person know each other? ”

Liu Kun said: "I also frequented Boss Gu's bookstore back then, and I also know him!" After so many years, things are different from people, and Boss Gu is no longer the bookstore owner of the year! I heard that he has made a big mistake recently, and the prince wants to punish him? ”

Lu Zheng said: "The punishment is certain, now it is the book on all aspects, and more than ninety percent of all these books are going to kill his head!" Even the old lady sent a letter, telling me that I must kill Gu Zhilun, only by killing Gu Zhilun can I kill the chickens and monkeys, and can I deter the Quartet! ”

"Ah......" Liu Su exclaimed, his face instantly turned pale, and said, "Kill? Lord Wang, do you really want to kill Boss Gu? ”

"I'm also conflicted and hesitant in my heart, and it's hard to make a decision for a while, so don't you find a chat?"

Liu Kun said: "How can I, a female streamer, understand the major affairs of my family and country? I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, lord! ”

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Ah, why are you so nervous?" I came here to talk to me, but I didn't want to be able to help me, I just wanted to hear about Gu Zhilun, why before this, Gu Zhilun was able to gather so many people and resources.

But once he arrived in Bianzhou and went to prison, countless people immediately wanted to kill him! Why is there such a big difference? How did this huge gap come about? ”

Liu Kun said: "Although Gu Zhilun has risen and developed, his foundation is still shallow. He is the favorite of the prince, and naturally there are many people who go to slap him! These instigations and stammers are sometimes not kind, their admiration for Boss Gu is actually more often to set up a big mountain and use this big mountain to shield them from the wind and rain.

Although Boss Gu is a shrewd businessman, when it comes to shrewdness and far-reaching intentions, where can he compare to those powerful and wealthy families? So in the end, he was used by others after all, and once he lost his value, everyone no longer regarded him as a big tree, and his big tree might become a thorn in the side of others, so it was better to die, so that everyone could rest assured......"

Lu Zheng stood up suddenly, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said: "Liu Zhen, very smart, you said it well, it can be said that you woke up the person in your dream with one word, I already know about it!" ”
