Although the Lu family had been recorded since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was during the Eastern Han Dynasty that Lu Zhi became famous for his Confucianism. Thus, he was called the ancestor of the Lu family. During the Three Kingdoms, Lu Yu held the position of Minister of War of Cao Wei. After that, Lu Qin, Lu Gui, Lu Zhi, and Lu Chen held high positions. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lu Xuan entered the imperial court as the "first order". During the Emperor Xiaowen's time, Lu Xuan became one of the four surnames, Lu, Cui, Zheng, and Wang. After the Northern Wei Dynasty split, Lu Jing's three sons became the Imperial Tutors of Western Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Zhou. During the Tang Dynasty, they were one of the seven surnames and ten families, producing eight prime ministers. Together with the Cui family of Boling and the Cui family of Qinghe, they were known as the "Cui Lu".
Of course, this was not an exaggeration. In fact, the Lu family did indeed have the strength and reputation. Every family held a high position in the imperial court and were even respectfully called the Imperial Preceptor. There were countless scholars and beauties. The most important thing was that they settled in Zhuo County (now Zhuozhou, Hebei Province). It was a flat land with fertile fields and was famous for being a fertile land. The map of the Yan Kingdom that Jing Ke presented when he assassinated the King of Qin was located in this area. The Fanyang Lu family had been farming and studying here for generations. Their descendants had multiplied and become a world-famous aristocratic family.
The reason why Zhang Feng was worried was because of the Lu family's geographical advantage. Fortunately, the Lu family had extended their reach to Jiangnan, but the overall family was still in Zhuo County. Therefore, they had to take advantage of the time when these guys were not paying attention to them to develop their power.
Thinking of this, he called for the guards to stop.
That Gao fellow had already run far away. There was no need to chase after him. It would be bad if the Gao family retaliated.
After cleaning up the scene, Zhang Feng began to search for Jia Daoren's whereabouts according to the address.
Seeing that the guards had left, the Gao family's servants hurriedly got up to chase after their young master. They had failed to protect their young master today and had to return early to avoid punishment.
After chasing for a while, the servants finally saw their young master running on the road. They hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Young master … young master …"
Hearing this, Gao Xu reined in his horse and turned around abruptly. He lashed out with the horsewhip in his hand and shouted, "You bastards, I was almost beaten to death just now. Are you all dead?"
The servants all knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word, silently enduring the young master's anger.
Blood splattered all over their backs, and their clothes were torn apart, but their eyes were filled with coldness.
Because they knew that they couldn't blame the young master. It was all because of that brat called Zhang Feng.
In the future, he would definitely tear that brat Zhang Feng into pieces and plant the seeds of hatred.
After a moment, Gao Xu seemed to be tired of whipping. He withdrew his whip and coldly swept his eyes over the crowd. "Where did that reckless brat go?"
The leader of the guards raised his head slightly, but the cold sweat on his forehead revealed his fear. He said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, that brat left with the guards."
"He left?"
Gao Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a gloomy face, "You're leaving just like that after offending Lao Tzu?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the head servant. "You, take two men with you and follow that fellow. Find out where that fellow lives. When the time comes, report back to me. The rest of you, follow me back to the residence."
After he finished speaking, he whipped his horse and galloped forward.
The head servant glanced at the people around him, randomly picked a few, and turned around to leave. The others followed Young Master Gao to the Gao residence.
A moment later, a huge mansion appeared in front of everyone. There was even a gold-rimmed Phoebe Zhennan wooden plaque hanging on it. There were two big words written on it: Gao Mansion. Next to these two big words was a line of small words: Fanyang Lu Family.
Gao Xu flipped off his horse like a carp and walked straight to the door.
There were four servants standing at the door. When they saw that their young master had returned, they hurriedly went to greet him. "Young Master."
"Get lost."
Gao Xu shouted. He was in a bad mood, so how could he let these lowly servants dirty his eyes?
Hearing this, the servants hurriedly retreated. They knew that this second young master had a bad temper. Usually, he relied on Second Madam's favor to be arrogant and unrestrained in the residence. Who knew how many servants had been beaten to death. They didn't want to be the next one.
Gao Xu threw his whip on the ground and quickly walked to the front yard.
"Young Master, you're back."
A white-haired old man greeted him. He was the head steward of the Gao residence. He was brought over by Second Madam when she got married, so he was given the name Gao Cheng. He watched Gao Xu grow up, so he had an indescribable feeling for Gao Xu.
"Gao Cheng, where's my father?"
Gao Xu glanced at Gao Cheng, his expression slightly better.
However, Gao Cheng's brows furrowed. He knew that the second young master was usually a dandy, but he treated him well and called him steward. Why did he call him by his real name today? Could it be that this fellow fought with some family's young master again? Did he lose and come back to complain? After some thought, he sighed and said, "Young Master, Old Master is in the backyard."
"Then I'll go find him."
Gao Xu turned around and prepared to walk to the backyard.
