As soon as the name came out, most of the officials in the lobby had shocked expressions on their faces. Even Li Zhengkun suddenly raised his head and looked at the man next to him in disbelief.
Lu Sicheng, the commander of the Dusi Yamen, was only forty-three years old and was already a second-grade military attaché. If he had been given a few more years, he would have definitely entered the capital and entered the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, becoming a very important figure in the court.
The key is that Lu Sicheng not only has outstanding abilities, but also has extremely powerful cultivation. He currently has a ninth-level cultivation.
Even Li Zhengkun intends to train him to be his confidant. In fact, since Li Zhengkun came to Tianzhou City, he has always valued Lu Sicheng very much.
Even Lu Sicheng's current official position was because Li Zhengkun used the power of the Li family to support him.
Lu Sicheng, who had a square face, couldn't help but show a look of helplessness when he heard this.
He first gave Li Zhengkun an apologetic look, then walked out of the queue and bowed to Qin Wei: "This official is guilty!"
Qin Wei looked at him and felt a little puzzled, "I actually don't understand why you want to cooperate with Xueyilou?"
That's right, the standard crossbow arrows of Xueyilou come from Lu Sicheng!
"Xiaguan is not cooperating with Xueyi Lou. Xiaguan is just involved with the black-faced landlord." Lu Sicheng said.
"Then what?" Qin Wei asked.
"A year ago, the black-faced poster asked for two thousand crossbow arrows from Xiaguan. Xiaguan did not expect that they would be used on His Highness." Lu Sicheng said.
Qin Wei nodded slightly. This is consistent with the information collected by the Imperial City Division. A batch of crossbow arrows was indeed shipped out of the Zhenwu Division a year ago. However, this batch of crossbow arrows should not have been aimed at Qin Wei. After all, Qin Wei was still at that time.
He did not accept the favor, nor did he take charge of the Zhenwu Division.
"What did that black-faced poster grab onto you?"
Like Master Feiyu, Black Face Building Master is one of the four building owners of Xueyi Building.
"Xiaguan worked as a killer in the Blood Clothes Building when he was young!" Lu Sicheng said very honestly.
Although he has outstanding talent in martial arts, due to his poor background, he had no choice but to become a peripheral killer in the Blood Clothes Tower when he was young.
Practicing martial arts is an extremely expensive thing. The higher the level of cultivation, the more money and resources are needed.
Ordinary people may be able to become warriors, but they will never be able to become warriors above the third level.
The secret list and peripheral killer system of the Blood Clothes Building are very attractive to many warriors from poor backgrounds.
Just by killing someone, you can get at least a thousand taels of silver. Such a deal will naturally make many low-level warriors flock to it.
If Lu Sicheng was just a martial artist now, he wouldn't need to care about the past.
But he was an official of the imperial court, so these past became the black-faced poster’s use to manipulate him.
Qin Wei looked at him and then at Li Zhengkun.
Then he threw the document in his hand to Li Zhengkun.
"Leave the rest to Mr. Li!"
Li Zhengkun took the two documents with a complex and ugly expression.
He was angry because of what happened to Lu Sicheng, and he was angry because of what happened to other officials.
As the immediate eldest grandson of his family, he looked down upon those gangsters. However, he did not expect that these gangsters actually bribed most of his officials.
If Qin Wei hadn't come to Tianzhou City, he might have been manipulated by the four major sects.
As his most trusted subordinate, Lu Sicheng ended up hiding something from him.
"Your Highness, Sicheng was just threatened~~"
He was silent for a long time, still wanting to plead for Lu Sicheng.
Qin Wei stood up and waved his hands, saying: "You can do whatever you want!"
He still saved some face for Li Zhengkun and left the rest of the matter to Li Zhengkun.
Lu Sicheng is guilty. He was a killer before and gave Dusi Yamen's crossbow arrows to Xueyilou. He committed a crime worthy of beheading.
But after all, he did not participate in the attack on Qingsi Garden, so Qin Wei was willing to save some face for Li Zhengkun.
If Lu Sicheng participated in the attack on Qingsi Garden, then he would never let Lu Sicheng go.
As for other matters in Dusi Yamen, he no longer needs to worry about it.
At this point, Li Zhengkun can only completely eliminate the Dusi Yamen and the Seventh Department of Defense. Otherwise, how can he have the face to be the commander of the capital!
The only thing that makes Qin Wei feel regretful now is that the people who released the crossbows were not found. Hundreds of people just disappeared into Tianzhou City out of thin air. It was extremely weird.
Those soldiers were not from Dusi Yamen, nor were they ordinary warriors.
They can even hide from everyone's sight, appearing and disappearing out of thin air.
…
After the affairs of Dusi Yamen were handed over to Li Zhengkun, Qin Wei asked the soldiers of Zhenwu Division to withdraw from Tianzhou City. And he himself returned to Qingsi Garden.
The targets of him and the Zhenwu Division were the martial arts forces, so it was impossible to put a lot of energy into the Dusi Yamen.
What Qin Wei wants to do most now is to kill Xueyi Lou.
Xueyilou had already given him a big gift, and now it was his turn to return the gift.
After returning to Qingsi Garden, Qin Wei immediately recruited Li Ru into the study.
“It’s time to start the strategy you formulated to drive out wolves and tigers!”
In the study, Qin Wei sat behind the desk and said softly.
Li Ru stroked his mustache and said with a smile, "I'm ready, you can start at any time."
Qin Wei nodded slightly and said, "That's good."
"I hope this time we can completely solve the problem of Blood Clothes Building."
Driving out wolves and tigers was the first plan Li Ru made when he was in Kyoto. The goal was to eliminate those sect forces that were unwilling to surrender, and at the same time, it could also have the effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys.
Li Ru did not set his target on Xueyilou at first, but after Xueyilou issued the killing order, Qin Wei made Xueyilou the target of his plan to drive away wolves and tigers.
Li Rudao: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Xueyi Tower will definitely be doomed this time!"
"Well, let's get started!"
"When delivering the letter, please also send this letter to the Tianshi Mansion!"
Qin Wei took out a letter and handed it to Li Ru. This letter was exactly the letter that Emperor Li had given him before leaving the capital.
"Here!"
Li Ru responded after receiving the letter and then exited the study.
Then he returned to his study and took out a large stack of letters.
"Hong Fei!"
"The official is here!"
"Send these letters to all the major sects!" Li Ru gave the letters to Hong Fei.
There are a total of one hundred and thirty-three letters, and each envelope has its owner indicated, which includes almost most of the sects in Tianzhou.
…
The next day.
The sky is high and the clouds are light.
One letter after another was sent to the major sects in Tianzhou with the autumn wind.
Sanqing Mountain, Tianshi Mansion, Tianshi Hall.
Hong Fei handed the two letters in his hand to Master Tian personally.
The other letters were delivered by Hong Fei's soldiers, but the letter from Tianshi Mansion was delivered by Hong Fei himself.
Master Tian opened the two letters and read them.
"I know, you go back and report to His Highness the County Prince, and the Tianshi Mansion will act according to his wishes."
There was no fluctuation in Vicissitudes' eyes, as if the contents of these two letters were trivial matters.
Hong Fei bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave first!"
The old Heavenly Master nodded slightly and watched Hong Fei leave.
After Hong Fei left, Wen Su, who was standing next to him, could no longer hold back his curiosity and asked: "Master, what is this letter?"
"Take a look!" Master Tian handed the letter to Wen Su.
Wen Su first looked at Emperor Li's handwritten imperial letter, his face filled with astonishment.
"Your Majesty is actually a disciple of our Tianshi Mansion!"
In the letter, Lihuang calls himself his disciple and respects Lao Tianshi as his teacher.
In fact, the content is not important, it is just some ordinary words of greetings, which can be said to be a lot of nonsense.
"It doesn't count!" The old Heavenly Master looked at the sky with light wind and light clouds, his eyes were deep and distant.
"Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he lived in our Tianshi Mansion for a year. At that time, he was only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old."
"Your Majesty has not entered the Taoist sect of my Tianshi Mansion, but has only studied the Taoist scriptures with my master for a period of time."
Wen Su's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the Tianshi Mansion and the current Li Emperor had such a connection.
"Read the second letter!" the old master said softly.
The relationship between Emperor Li and the Tianshi Mansion is just a matter of the past. If Zhenwu Si had not come to the Tianshi Mansion, perhaps no one would mention it again, because even if it was mentioned, it would be meaningless.
Tianshi Mansion is just a folk martial arts force. Although it is the representative force of Taoist sects in the world, there is no comparison at all with the lofty Lihuang.
Moreover, the old Heavenly Master is not a person who is greedy for power in the mortal world, and he will not seek benefits for the Heavenly Master's Mansion through this relationship.
Wensu opened the second letter and looked at it.
His mouth opened wide and his eyes were as wide as beads.
