If it was an ordinary person who died, the body would always be put away for seven days before being buried. But Lan Xiaohua didn't even stop for a night. She was carried out of the Lu mansion and buried in the suburbs. Some servants didn't feel anything wrong, because they didn't have any feelings for this evil woman. Some people even clapped their hands after knowing that she was dead. They were all people who had been abused by them.
Lu Fei's decision, of course, caused many people in the mansion to be dissatisfied. They thought that he was inhumane. After a thorough investigation, they found that these people were all relatives of Lan Xiaohua. Lu Fei naturally wouldn't raise a tiger and cause trouble. He cleared them all out and settled their wages on the spot. At noon, most of the servants in the mansion had been driven out. The rest were either Lu Fei's confidants or some people with clean backgrounds.
A notice was posted outside the Lu mansion to recruit servants. At the same time, Lu Fei removed all the people in charge of the business arranged by Lan Xiaohua and replaced them with his own people. Lan Xiaohua's family was also a landlord. Over the years, she had been taking money from the Lu family's business to buy land for her family. Now that her power was huge, she had become a local big family. Lu Fei's move naturally angered them. They swore to take back what belonged to them, but they forgot who the Lu family originally belonged to.
When Lu Fei was practicing in the room, someone knocked on the door. Lu Fei opened his eyes and said,
Lu Xin walked into the room and said, "Young master, the matter has been done, but... but after those people left, they took away a large amount of money. Now the savings in the mansion are only left with what was found in Lu Qing's room a few days ago."
Lu Fei's eyes flashed with a cold light and said, "These are the people of Lan Xiaohua's family. What they took away, they will naturally return it. Don't worry about them. Don't be stingy with the money. I will think of a way to get the money. In addition, help me send a post. I will go and visit our county magistrate. "
"Good." Lu Xin acknowledged and retreated, feeling gratified in his heart. Now that the young master finally had a plan, he hoped that he could revitalize the Lu family's business.
Lu Fei practiced until the afternoon. When the servants brought the food over, Lu Fei said, "From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to send the food over to me. You can eat first after it's done. Just leave some for me. I'll eat by myself."
"Yes!" The maidservant was still suspicious of what she had done wrong. Hearing this, she could only agree. Lu Fei asked, "How is Hanxiang's injury?"
The maidservant replied, "Her arm doesn't hurt anymore. With the sisters taking care of her every day, I believe she'll get better soon." After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Lu Fei. He thought to himself that a few days ago, he was still a wretch who could be bullied by others. He didn't expect that he would suddenly become a young master. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Lu Fei nodded and said, "Let's go eat."
After the maidservant retreated, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that this new master was very considerate, much better than that evil woman.
After eating, Lu Fei first went to visit Hanxiang. Now that the servants in the residence knew that Hanxiang was Lu Fei's favorite, they took very good care of her. Even when she went to the toilet, there were people accompanying her. In fact, Lu Fei just felt that she was pitiful and wanted to help her as much as possible.
In the evening, Lu Fei took a look at the Lu family's business. Among them, the main business was the blacksmith business. The rest were scattered shops, which were of little value. The next morning, he ordered people to sell all the shops except the blacksmith shop. In this way, they would have enough funds to operate in the near future.
At noon, Lu Fei carried the two large gold bricks with silk and brought Lu Zhong to the county magistrate's residence. On the way, Lu Zhong weighed the gold bricks in his hand and said, "Young master, are we really giving that guy so much gold?"
Lu Fei looked at him and said, "Money can make the devil turn millstones. If we give him enough gold, he will know that we are rich. In the future, when there is a problem, he will side with us and not others. Now that we have a grudge with the Lan family, I believe that it won't be long before they take revenge. When the time comes, the government will be a big reliance. Not to mention, we are in the right. Even if we go to court, we won't be afraid of them cheating. "
Lu Zhong said with admiration, "Young master is far-sighted. Amazing."
Lu Fei said, "Have you practiced some boxing?"
Lu Zhong scratched his head and said, "It's just a three-legged cat's kung fu. I learned it secretly. It's not worth showing."
Lu Fei nodded. At this time, the two of them had already arrived at the county magistrate's residence. Lu Zhong went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened. A middle-aged man looked at them and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Lu Fei said, "This one is Lu Fei. I sent an invitation yesterday. Today, I am here to pay a visit to Lord Liu."
The middle-aged man stepped aside and said, "Please come in."
The two of them walked through the door and followed the middle-aged man into a hall. The middle-aged man said, "Please wait for a moment. Master will be here in a moment. Serve the tea." The two maids immediately came forward and poured tea for Lu Fei. Lu Zhong put the gold bricks in Lu Fei's hand and stood behind him.
The maids left after serving the tea. Lu Fei looked around. Although this place was not big, the decorations were elegant. It seemed like it was specially used to meet guests.
After passing through the door, an old man in brocade clothes walked in. Lu Fei stood up and said, "This one is Lu Fei. Greetings to Lord Liu."
The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You are welcome."
After the two of them sat down, Lu Fei said some polite words and chatted with Lord Liu for a while. He flattered him without leaving any trace, which made the old man laugh. Lord Liu said, "I like to chat with young people like you. Tell me, what are you here for this time?"
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. Recently, some happy things happened in the residence. Thanks to Lord Liu's good fortune, I came to greet you." As he said that, he pushed the gold bricks in front of Lord Liu. Lord Liu reached out and untied the red silk. He could not help but be moved. After a while, he said, "Nephew, you have confused me."
Lu Fei said, "Lord Liu is my parent's official. This one was born in Zhuo County. It is all thanks to Lord Liu that this place is safe. Recently, Lu Fei was fortunate enough to inherit my father's property. This is a small token of my appreciation. Lord Liu must accept it. Otherwise, Lu Fei will be too embarrassed to visit Lord Liu in the future."
Lord Liu laughed and said, "Nephew, you are too polite. Calling me Lord Liu is too distant. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle."
Lu Fei thought to himself, this old thing is old enough to be my grandfather, yet he is still pretending to be young. However, he did not show it on his face. He happily called out, "Uncle Liu."
