"Is everything packed?" Lu Yi asked.

"Master, everything has been packed up." It was Lu Yi's wife Zhang who spoke.

After saying this, Mrs. Zhang started to cry.

"why are you crying?"

"Master, are we leaving Jiangning now?"

"With such a big mess in Jiangdong, I, the transshipment envoy, will definitely not be able to survive. This is to prepare in advance and transport all the money earned over the years back to my hometown, so that I can be prosperous and wealthy in my hometown for the rest of my life."

"Why do you have to do this? It's not a good official."

"What do women know!" Lu Yi said rudely with a cold face, "If I disobey, even if I do nothing, I will be dismissed. If I do, although I will lose my official position now, I will be reinstated in the future.

The opportunity to be re-employed.”

Mrs. Zhang sighed, cried and said: "Although I don't understand, my master has disturbed Jiangdong by doing this. How can the court spare you so easily?"

"Stop crying! It's so annoying!" Lu Yi said impatiently, "You don't understand even if I tell you! Now it's about the dispute between the ruling and opposition factions. It's my turn, so I have to do it, otherwise you make me change

Become a reformist? Sell all the fields at home? Abolish all those loan sharking businesses? Are you willing to do so?"

Mrs. Zhang muttered: "We already have so much money anyway, what else do we need, and we can't spend it all..."

"Without that money, how will I manage my officialdom in the future? Okay! Stop talking, collect all my belongings, take them back to my hometown, and hide all the money. I have already written my resignation to His Majesty, and I will be able to get out of here soon.

."

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Lu Sicao, Magistrate Chen is here and said he has something important to see you."

"Ask him to wait, I'll be right back."

Before going out, Lu Yi explained again: "After you pack it up, you can take these back to your hometown today and leave today. I will make arrangements later."

"Yes, sir."

Lu Yi walked out and arrived at the lobby.

Chen Bangguang said: "Lu Sicao, people from the imperial court are here."

"Oh, where?"

"In the magistrate's office, there was a man named Zhai Jin, who was said to be the Jiangdong economic envoy."

"Zhai Jin?" Lu Yi was stunned for a moment.

"Lu Sicao knows this person?"

"The former military commander of Hebei West Road, his brother is the military envoy of Hebei West Road and a general under Zong Ze!"

Chen Bangguang took a deep breath, he didn't expect that Zhai Jin would be so well-connected.

"He is in the magistrate's office, why did you come to my place?"

"He killed everyone who surrounded the magistrate's office."

"What!" Lu Yi suddenly stood up and stood there in shock, almost squeezing out a sentence from his throat, "Kill them all?"

"Kill them all, I saw it with my own eyes!" Chen Bangguang felt guilty after learning Zhai Jin's true background, "Lu Sicao, what should I do now?"

"Don't be chaotic. Isn't he just a military officer? He killed everyone. Now let's see how he will explain to the court and to His Majesty! A martial artist is a martial artist. He uses a sword for everything. There are many things in this world that cannot be done with a sword.

Solve it, especially this dynasty!"

"The lower official thinks so too." Chen Bangguang breathed a sigh of relief.

"This Zhai Jin will come to me soon. You first write an impeachment memorial to impeach Zhai Jin. I will find a way to hold him back."

"This person will not..."

"He doesn't dare to mess around. I'm on the same level as him!"

At this time, the county captain outside hurried in.

"Lu Sicao! Lu Sicao! Something bad has happened!"

"Why are you so flustered!"

The county lieutenant said: "There were people killing people with knives by the Qinhuai River. More than a hundred people died!"

"What!" Lu Yi felt that the world was crazy today.

Has Jiangning City become a slaughterhouse?

"Why don't you hurry up and call all the government officials, Turkish troops and archers? Gather them all!"

"Lu Sicao, those people have crossbows and armor..."

Chen Bangguang immediately said: "Zhai Jin must have done it!"

"What should we do now?" the county captain said in panic, "it has spread outside. All the shops along the Qinhuai River are closed. It has caused chaos in the city!"

"Go quickly and arrange for people to maintain law and order, go quickly!"

The county captain went down immediately.

"This Zhai Jin is too courageous! When he first took office, he dared to kill people indiscriminately! He is looking for death!" Lu Yi smiled instead of getting angry, "Let him kill. The more he kills, the more miserable his death will be!"

Chen Bangguang said: "Why don't we incite a group of people privately and let him kill more?"

Lu Yi thought for a moment and said, "This is a very good plan!"

While he was talking, Judge Gao Bin of the Transportation Department hurried in: "Lu Sicao, outside..."

"Why are you so nervous?"

Gao Bin said: "Zong...Zongze...Zongze is here!"

"Zongze?" Lu Yi was stunned for a moment and didn't react. He and Chen Bangguang looked at each other.

"Yes! Zongze!"

"Which Zongze?"

"Deputy Military and Political Envoy Zongze!"

Lu Yi almost jumped up on the spot, his face changed drastically: "Where is he?"

"It's right outside!"

Lu Yi's heart suddenly trembled, and he had a myriad of emotions.

Gao Bin shouted twice: "Lu Sicao, Lu Sicao!"

"You go and prepare first. I will be here soon."

"yes!"

Lu Yi said worriedly: "Why is Zongze here too?"

Chen Bangguang said: "He's here as soon as he comes. How can he do anything to us? Without any evidence, he can't do anything to us!"

"But this person has a very high prestige and is also the deputy military and political envoy. If he comes, I'm afraid we..."

Chen Bangguang rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Si Cao, I have a plan."

"explain."

"Why don't you send someone to send a message to Liu Biao now and ask him to prepare a group of people to bring Zongze..." Chen Bangguang made a "che" gesture.

"Zongze must have brought a lot of people here. How could you assassinate them just because you said you could?"

"Then trick Zongze out, tell him that there are thieves in Jiangning Mansion, ask him to suppress the bandits, and then ask Liu Biao to arrange for someone to ambush him!"

Lu Yi said: "Where can Liu Biao have so many people?"

"Last time he told me that Zhu Changgui secretly recruited a lot of people in the Zhenjiang area, tens of thousands of people, saying he wanted to come to Jiangning Mansion to make a fortune..."

Hearing this, Lu Yi looked nervous: "That Zhu Changgui is a wanted criminal by the court..."

"Whatever, let him kill Zongze, it has nothing to do with us!"

Lu Yi hesitated for a while and said, "Go through the back door to find Liu Biao."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

After Chen Bangguang left, Lu Yi also walked out.

Zongze waited for a while at the entrance of the Yamen of the Transfer Department, and Lu Yi came out with the officials from the Yamen.

Lu Yi saw an old man with white beard and hair, and thought that this was Zongze.

He stepped forward and said loudly: "Xiaguan Jiangdong transfer envoy Lu Yi meets Zong Xianggong."

Zongze clasped his fists and said, "Lu Sicao, I came to Jiangdong on orders from the emperor to rectify military affairs. I passed by here and I apologize for disturbing you."

"Wherever, Mr. Zong, please come in, please come in."

After welcoming Zongze in, they served tea and snacks.

Zongze got straight to the point: "Lu Sicao, when I entered the city, I saw many people causing trouble and disturbing the order in the city."
