The cannon fodder in the book is laughing, and the scum is slapped in the face

Chapter 127: Mature and Steady

Marquis Anyang felt that he might not have heard clearly, or there might be something wrong with his ears.

Otherwise, how could he hear such ridiculous remarks?

Lu Liangyi reacted faster: "Sir, are you saying that Lu Yunxu found charcoal outside the city?"

Anyang Hou's colleague smiled excitedly and said, "Yes."

"He was investigating a case outside. The road was slippery on a snowy day, and he accidentally fell down. Unexpectedly, he found the charcoal in the cave."

"I don't know who put it there, but the city is short of charcoal, so he brought it back."

"If this has no owner, Lu Yunxu will hand it over to the court."

“The word of the Lord…”

"Just give it back to them?" Lu Liangyi asked subconsciously.

The smile of Anyang Hou's colleague cooled down: "Return? Return to whom?"

"A large amount of charcoal is stored in a cave outside the city. It's obvious that there's something wrong with it."

"If we find out who this belongs to, humph."

The colleague didn't say anything else, but everyone understood the meaning.

Isn’t the purpose of hoarding charcoal to sell it at a high price?

Hoarding charcoal is not illegal, but... now that we know who it is, that person will be scolded to death!

It has reached the point where everyone despises it!

"Of course. Who is this person who hoarded so much charcoal? It's too much!" Marquis Anyang cursed along with his colleagues.

"Yier, since someone has found the charcoal, you don't have to go." Marquis Anyang said lovingly to Lu Liangyi.

"You don't know if you can buy any when you go out. Since the capital already has charcoal, there's no need to compete with other places. You also have to consider the people in other places. They also need charcoal."

"Yes." Lu Liangyi responded and took his people back.

After speaking a few words to his colleagues, Marquis Anyang also went back.

His smile only lasted until he entered the mansion.

As soon as the door behind him closed, his face suddenly became gloomy and he strode towards the backyard.

Lu Liangyi followed with an equally unhappy look on his face.

Soon, Su Yunxia, ​​Qiao Jiaojiao and others heard the news and rushed over.

"Mom, why are you here?" Marquis Anyang went over and helped Madam Lu.

Madam Lu entered the room, not caring about the chill she had felt along the way, and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"Did that little bastard Lu Yunxu steal our charcoal?"

"I knew he wasn't a good person, he was born to be our unlucky person!"

"Money! So much money is going to be wasted!"

Old Madam Lu burst into tears.

This is literally digging her heart out!

"Mother, mother..." Su Yunxia hurriedly advised Madam Lu, "Don't be sad, take care of yourself."

"Why are you still taking care of your body? Our family's money is gone, all gone..." Old Madam Lu howled twice and pointed at Marquis Anyang, "Go, go find Lu Yunxu and ask for the money!"

"He took our charcoal, so he has to give us the silver!"

Anyang Hou's mind was buzzing: "Mother, how can I ask for it?"

"If people knew that we were hoarding charcoal and waiting to sell it at a high price, we would be drowned in all the spit from outside!"

"Not to mention what His Majesty would think of me if he knew about this?"

"Even if Yi'er becomes the top student in high school, what future does he have?"

Madam Lu's crying suddenly stopped. She was dumbfounded: "Then, then we suffered this loss in vain?"

"All our money is gone just like that?"

Anyang Hou's face darkened: "That's the only way."

Mrs. Lu burst into tears instantly.

Anyang Hou pressed his painful forehead and said to Su Yunxia, ​​"Help mother back."

Su Yunxia nodded and persuaded Madam Lu to send her back.

Anyang Hou looked at Lu Liangyi and Qiao Jiaojiao: "What do you have in mind?"

Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned. Who could have thought that things would turn out like this?

How can she do that?

"The main thing now is to pay back the loan." Lu Liangyi knew this was the most urgent matter. "Otherwise, if they make a fuss, people in the capital will know that we borrowed money at interest, and then it will damage the reputation of the Marquisate."

Anyang Hou sighed heavily: "If you want to pay back the money, you have to have the money to pay it back."

"Where can we get the money now? Do we have to sell the shop?"

He is a marquis after all. Why is he always selling off his property like this?

"Why don't we go borrow some?" Lu Liangyi said, looking at Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao understood immediately and felt a little embarrassed: "My family is not very wealthy... But I will go back to my father and think of a solution."

As soon as she saw Lu Liangyi's face change, Qiao Jiaojiao quickly turned back.

She didn't want Lu Liangyi to have any bad impression of her.

In the future, she will still have to rely on Lu Liangyi.

"Jiaojiao, thank you for your help." Lu Liangyi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter how much, a little is enough."

"Let's get together and help with the emergency first."

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded: "Then I'll go now."

"Let's talk about it in a few days." Lu Liangyi stopped Qiao Jiaojiao.

Facing Qiao Jiaojiao's confusion, he explained: "It's such a coincidence now, so as to avoid suspicion from others."

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded in agreement: "Brother Yi is really thoughtful."

It was just right, she could prepare and think about what to say when she returned.

On the other side, Lu Yunxu brought his men and pulled charcoal back to the capital.

Those charcoals made Emperor Jin very happy. Of course, he didn't want to accept them directly, so he posted a notice to ask if the charcoals had any owners.

The notice had been posted for three days, but no one came to claim it.

Emperor Jin then took action and sold the charcoal at the previous price.

Moreover, they are limited in quantity, so that rich people won’t buy them all and ordinary people won’t be able to buy them.

With this affordable charcoal, people can at least survive this cold winter.

Of course, Lu Yunxu, who discovered the charcoal, received praise and rewards from Emperor Jin.

Lu Yunxu was very happy, and excitedly took the brocade box to Qiao Jinlan: "Look, this is the Dongzhu I specially asked Your Majesty for."

"It will look great on you!"

"The best Dongzhu of our Dazhen is in the palace." Lu Yunxu looked at Qiao Jinlan proudly, the expression of seeking praise on his face was too obvious.

Qiao Jinlan laughed happily. She was naturally happy to receive such a thoughtful gift. "Thank you. I'm sorry for taking the trouble. I like it very much."

After getting the feedback he wanted, Lu Yunxu became reserved again. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "As long as you like it, why are you thanking me?"

Qiao Jinlan picked up the Dongzhu with a smile and looked at it over and over again. It was indeed beautiful.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Yunxu tried hard to purse his lips, but even so, he still couldn't control his smile.

"Where are mother and sister?" Qiao Jinlan put Dongzhu down and asked Lu Yunxu.

"I have chosen them all." Lu Yunxu was very proud. He did not forget the other people in the family.

He is mature and stable now.
