Li Qinzai was ordered to inspect Jiangnan this time, but his behavior was too gentle and tepid from beginning to end.
Xue Rengui's 20,000-strong army was also stationed in Yuezhou. Apart from giving the noble families a psychological deterrent in terms of momentum, they basically did nothing shocking.
This gave the noble families in Jiangnan the illusion that they were indeed the local emperor of Jiangnan Road, a man who killed as many people as Li Qinzai. Even after arriving in Jiangnan, he did not dare to lightly stroke the beards of noble families.
Including Lu Yun, after meeting Li Qinzai twice, they were also deceived by Li Qinzai's gentle appearance, and gradually felt that it was impossible for Li Qinzai to dare to kill in Jiangnan.
However, what Li Qinzai said at this moment shocked Lu Yun. Only then did he realize that this man in front of him was not a good man who fasted and chanted Buddha's name. Wherever he passed in the past, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Whenever he left Chang'an,
He came back covered in blood.
What kind of wrong medicine did he take to make him think that he would not dare to kill anyone when he came to Jiangnan?
Is he afraid of offending a prominent family?
The former ancestral home of the Wang family in Taiyuan was set on fire by him. In terms of family power, the Wang family in Taiyuan was much more powerful than the famous families in Jiangnan. He was not even afraid of the Wang family, so he was afraid of killing several famous families in Jiangnan?
Seeing that Lu Yun's expression was a little frightened, as if he was frightened, Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to the Lu family of Wu County. After all, we are our own people, right?"
Lu Yun forced a smile and nodded, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this moment, Lu Yun was extremely grateful for the wise decision of the head of the Lu family and the elders.
Sure enough, giving in at the first opportunity was the right decision. This decision saved the centuries-old foundation of the Lu family in Wu County.
If not, the Lu family of Wu County might have appeared on Li Qinzai's list to kill as a warning to others.
"Mr. Li, I'm not afraid, not at all..." Lu Yun's tone was trembling slightly.
Li Qinzai praised: "Your determined expression tells me that you are telling the truth."
After a pause, Li Qinzai continued: "Originally I planned to deal with the Jiangnan noble families in a gentle manner, but now they have played dirty tricks on me. If I don't say anything, I will inevitably weaken my reputation as the emperor's imperial envoy."
"The tiger doesn't show its teeth because it just wants to take a nap in a low profile. If they think I'm a sick cat, they are terribly wrong."
"Brother Huai'an, you might as well tell us who the enemy of the Lu family in Wu County is, and I will help you deal with it."
Lu Yun was shocked and said: "How to deal with this without evidence?"
Li Qinzai smiled horribly: "No credentials are needed. I came all the way from Chang'an and I have a quota to kill people. Anyway, I want to kill people. I can kill anyone. Do you understand?"
Lu Yun became more and more frightened and couldn't help but said: "But to punish him without teaching him would be too... Duke Li, why not first find out who was behind the murder in Duchang County, and then decide whether to take action against him?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "Did I come all the way to Jiangnan to solve a suspenseful case? The evidence, the real culprit, peel off the cocoon, don't waste it, don't indulge it... Then it's a matter of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, what does it have to do with me?
"
"I am the emperor's imperial envoy. What I want to do is to clean up Jiangnan, stabilize the situation, and restore the clear sky to the people. Whoever hinders the stable situation in Jiangnan and damages the prestige of the Tian family should die. As for the evidence of their damnation, I say it is
If there is, there will definitely be."
These domineering words once again stunned Lu Yun, and he couldn't help but feel fear and panic in his heart.
Standing on the surface of the earth, others have already reached the atmosphere. This wave of Jiangnan noble families has lost their fortune.
He secretly committed a murder case in an attempt to frame the imperial envoy, making it difficult for him to move forward in Jiangnan.
Unexpectedly, he didn't accept this trick at all. After arriving in Jiangnan, he was already sharpening his sword against the prominent families and was considering who to kill. As a result, a murder case occurred, and he was forced to hold the excuse of death in front of him with both hands.
This is not a joke.
At this moment, Lu Yun finally understood the measures Li Qinzai was going to take against the prominent families in Jiangnan. They came with a quota of killings.
It's ridiculous that those stupid noble families dare to take the initiative to provoke this evil god.
After calming down, Lu Yun said seriously: "First of all, I, the Lu family of Wu County, have not provoked any of you..."
Li Qinzai: “…………”
There was a hint of flattery in Lu Yun's smile: "I am the legitimate son of the Lu family. Of course, I will take out the Lu family first. As for which family Duke Li will attack next, you are free to do so."
Li Qinzai sighed: "I'll give you Lu a chance to get rid of your enemies, but you yourself will be useless."
Lu Yun refuses to tell anyone about the Lu family's enemies, so he certainly has his own motives.
This matter was too serious and related to the life and death of a prominent family. Lu Yun did not dare to involve the Lu family of Wu County in the whirlpool. He must not get involved in this matter.
Li Qinzai didn't care. The original plan was to visit a few more cities in Jiangnan. After getting a preliminary understanding of the situation in Jiangnan, he would decide who to attack. Now that someone has taken the initiative to cause trouble, he will advance the plan. Anyway, it is
If you want to kill people, it doesn't matter if you kill them early or later.
"Come here, summon Song Sen to see me." Li Qinzai said in a loud voice.
Song Sen arrived very quickly. He had been active in Jiangzhou City in the past few days.
After entering the camp, before Song Sen could be greeted, Li Qinzai handed him the official document in his hand.
"Baiqisi is going to investigate this case in Duchang County. There is no need for evidence. Just investigate casually and name a suspect. Find out which prominent family is involved and give me the answer within a day."
Song Sen took the official document and saluted as expected.
Li Qinzai then called Feng Su, who was standing outside the camp, and said, "Send someone to Yuezhou and ask General Xue to dispatch five thousand troops and horses to Jiangzhou and tell him that I am going to take action."
Feng Su turned around and hurried out of the camp.
Lu Yun's eyelids twitched.
Without investigation or trial, they directly dispatched troops and horses, and as expected, human lives were wasted...
At this moment, Lu Yun finally believed that Li Qinzai came to Jiangnan with the intention of killing people.
There was an inexplicable murderous intent in the tent. Li Qinzai's warm and friendly smiling face, in Lu Yun's eyes, seemed like a judge's pen.
Lu Yun found that he was sitting on pins and needles in the tent, with countless cold sweats breaking out on his back, so he wisely stood up and left.
Before leaving the camp, Li Qinzai suddenly stopped him.
"Brother Huai'an comes from a prominent family, has he ever inspected the properties under the Lu family's name?" Li Qinzai asked with profound meaning.
Lu Yun subconsciously shook his head: "I'm busy with family affairs, and I haven't inspected the property under my name for many years."
Li Qinzai sighed: "Brother Huai'an, you might as well go and experience the sentiments of the people in your spare time and experience the sufferings of the people firsthand."
With a faint sigh, Li Qinzai said: "Farmers' lives are hard!"
Lu Yun's eyelids twitched sharply, and his heart suddenly twitched.
In his mind, Li Qinzai was no longer an amiable figure, but an evil god.
How dare Lu Yun not take the words spoken by such an evil god seriously, how dare he not analyze and interpret them in detail?
So, what does he mean by saying this for no reason?
Lu Yun secretly remembered every word Li Qinzai said in his mind, and then bowed to him: "I have remembered what Duke Li said, and I will immediately go to inspect the properties under my name to understand the sufferings of the farmers in each village."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Brother Huai'an is interested."
