The turbulent waves after Lu Bing's self-destruction gradually dissipated, and the melon-eating crowd gradually boldly moved closer to the venue, whispering to each other for a while.
It's just that compared to the overbearing steward of the He family, Wu Ming is obviously at a disadvantage, and many onlookers have no intention of standing up for a stranger and are just watching the fun.
"Oh, what a He family. I really don't care about this injustice. What can you do to me?"
Wu Ming said proudly.
"Ignorant young man, do you know that acting carelessly will lead to misfortune?"
Manager He said coldly.
"Whether it was a disaster or not, I don't know, but I am very angry and the consequences will be serious!"
Wu Ming was indeed very angry.
As soon as the front foot promised Lu Bing a future, the back foot Lu Bing was forced to self-destruct to prove himself.
His face ached and his heart ached. Two generations of his father and grandfather died for him. He felt the same way as Lu Bing protects his daughter!
As for whether Lu Bing deliberately planned it and used death to drag him into the water, I can no longer care!
The reason for this suspicion is not that Wu Ming is being careless, but due to common sense, otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence!
"Okay, okay, I'll see if there are any serious consequences!"
Manager He laughed angrily, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about Wu Ming. He raised his hands to the sky and said loudly, "The person above is General Lu of the patrol department. I'm here, He Younian, the manager of the outer courtyard of the He family. Today, we are arresting a murderer in the city. This man is injured."
I, a servant of the He family, would like to ask General Lu to help me capture this beast!"
"It's easy to say that if you dare to blow yourself up and hurt others in the city, everyone will punish you for such a stubborn person!"
Patrolling Yunzhou approached, and a group of 100 elite soldiers swept down into the air, led by a middle-aged general with a big face and eight innate guards, who came to the field in an instant and blocked Wu Ming with people from the He family.
.
"General Lu's righteousness will be remembered by the He family for sure!"
He Younian bowed his hands and glanced sideways at Wu Ming, his pride evident in his words.
"Little baby, are you going to capture me without any help, or are you going to let me capture you?"
General Lu said coldly.
"Hey, what a collusion between officials and gangsters. As the city-protecting general of the Patrol Department of the Song Dynasty, you have the principle of protecting the people of a place. When did you become the eagle dog that guards the homes and courtyards of a family?"
Wu Mingyi's indignant accusations resonated.
Weak people are always easy to arouse sympathy. Unfortunately, no one saw the scene where Wu Ming shocked He Younian, a first-level master, to the point of vomiting blood with one palm strike.
"You are so bold, you dare to slander the general of the imperial court. I think you are a savage spy who came specifically to cause trouble for the Song Dynasty!"
Seeing General Lu's sudden change of color, Manager He stepped forward at the right time. The so-called confusing of right and wrong was nothing more than this.
"Take it!"
General Lu looked gloomy, obviously very angry, and shouted, "If you dare to resist, you will live or die!"
In his opinion, although Wu Ming is not weak in strength, he looks unfamiliar. As long as he is not a local, he will be able to let the He family take over.
Others don't know the strength of the He family, but he knows that it is no less generous than the average human-level sect, and is even a bit stronger. Ordinary forces would not dare to go against the He family, nor would they do anything for a young genius.
.
Obviously, he regarded Wu Ming as a young warrior who had a strong sense of justice and wanted to become famous!
"Bold, how dare you treat human life so lightly?"
Wu Ming seemed to be frightened, and backed away to the side while protecting the weak old man.
"You are a reckless person who dares to cause trouble in Lufucheng. I think you are on the same team as the thief who blew himself up and injured others!"
"Be obedient and surrender, and tell me if you have any accomplices, otherwise you won't be able to leave alive!"
"You have hurt so many innocent people, and yet you dare to speak nonsense and slander our general..."
Wu Ming was very eloquent, and the eight innate personal guards were not fooled. He knew that he could not let it go, so he had already sent messages secretly to discuss how to guide public opinion.
By linking the guy who blew himself up and hurt others with Wu Ming, they would have a reason to take action. No matter how much they did, others would not be able to find reason.
The reason why General Lu dared to order life and death was also because such a bad thing happened while he was in office, and there was no way he could evade it.
The shouts from these people immediately suppressed the dissatisfaction in the surrounding discussions.
Ordinary people are so simple, they follow the wind and rain. Of course, the words of a stranger are more credible than the words of someone who is not an official!
There was a clanging sound of swords being unsheathed, and eight innate guards swooped forward. This was not about taking someone, it was clearly about killing!
"court death!"
A cold light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, he waved his hand and put the old man behind him. The moment he turned around, the black knife was already in his hand. He reversed the situation and the light of the knife swept out like a sword.
"No, retreat..."
General Lu's pupils suddenly shrank. Before he could finish his words, he heard several loud and crisp sounds, and the swords flew off at the same time.
The guards' arms and chests burst with blood, and they all groaned and screamed, holding their wounds and retreating, their eyes showing fear.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, General Lu finally looked squarely at Wu Ming.
He was able to cut off eight innate guards with one sword and injure them without killing them. This level of control was even higher than that of his Third Realm Grandmaster, but Wu Ming's aura was clearly innate!
It's not like a fierce dragon can't cross the river. No wonder it dares to provoke local snakes like the He family!
"General Lu, this beast is fierce, you and I need to work together to take it down!"
Manager He deliberately did not remind him that he was injured by Wu Ming's palm. He had been waiting for this moment. How could he let Wu Ming reveal his identity?
Before he finished speaking, he did not give General Lu time to react, and was about to take action. However, he was afraid that General Lu would not come to his aid in time, and was frightened by the sharpness of Wu Ming's sword, so he just made a show of it.
"You are so brave, you dare to kill me indiscriminately under the clear sky and in broad daylight!"
Wu Ming took out the royal seal, glanced around proudly, looked at General Lu with a knife-like gaze, and said sternly.
"Wu...King Wu?"
General Lu hadn't figured it out. In fact, the reputation of King Wu had not spread far. Even if Wu Xiong had some reputation, it was only many years ago.
But this royal seal cannot be faked. The special imperial seal inside it is exactly the same as his general seal, and its power is even greater!
Even he didn't know, and Manager He didn't know even less. As a manager of a wealthy family, he must have outstanding eyesight, but looking at General Lu's face, he knew he had fallen into a trap today!
"As the saying goes, those who don't know are not to blame. Even if you are the prince, you cannot go with the thieves and hurt my He family!"
Manager He is not afraid of princes who don't have much fame. He's a Duke and a noble in the He family. He knows the seriousness of this thing and can bluff the common people.
But no matter what, we must insist that Wu Ming and Lu Bing are on the same side, otherwise the influence of both official and private public opinion will be bad.
"Hey, your He family is so majestic. You surrounded and killed innate warriors in the street, and you were lawless. I stopped you. You still want to confuse right and wrong and kill people to silence them. If you don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will never let it go.
!”
Wu Ming sneered again and again, and turned to look at General Lu, "General Lu should verify my identity. What should I do with these He family dog slaves?"
General Lu, who was quietly taking out the general's seal for verification, suddenly shrank his pupils and thought: "General, this matter should have been a misunderstanding. The He family is ruthless in arresting it, and the prince is brave enough to see what is right. How about letting it go?"
To be able to sit in this position, General Lu is obviously not stupid, he just wants to be a peacemaker!
He couldn't afford to offend the He family, and the shameless young King of Wu in front of him was even more of a hot potato, and he didn't want to offend anyone.
"Okay, this king has seen a lot!"
Wu Ming did not want to offend General Lu too much at this time, but he was quite dissatisfied with his inaction. He hugged the weak old man and turned around to leave.
From beginning to end, I didn't even look at Manager He and his team.
"you……"
Manager He thought of the shocking scene before, swallowed back the important words, forced a smile and said, "Thank you, General Lu, for speaking up!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
General Lu waved his hands carelessly, turned to leave, and suddenly heard a message saying, "Manager He, for the sake of the friendship between the two families, if it is an insignificant matter, please don't get involved!"
"Thank you General Lu!"
Manager He was so angry that he didn't take it to heart. He just said perfunctorily and took the people away.
In his opinion, General Lu's words were a warning to him not to cause trouble in Lufu City, but where could he put the face of the wealthy He family?
Prince? These days, Prince is nothing!
Moreover, the old man's matter is of great importance, and the He family will never let it go!
At the same time, Wu Ming brought an old man who was suspected to be an old servant of Lu Bing's family to Tongbao Trading Company and directly made an appointment with Peng Zailu, the manager.
Manager Peng had already told him before that there would be a dedicated servant to serve Wu Ming, and he was ushered into a private room as soon as he entered the store.
"Dear guest Haihan, you have too many goods. It will take at least one day to finish them!"
Peng Zailu explained as soon as he came in.
"No rush, I need to trouble you, Manager Peng!"
Wu Ming pointed at the old man and said, "This old man is an elder of my old friend. He was seriously injured. I am not familiar with this place. I would also like to ask Manager Peng to help hire a medical expert to treat him. The medical fee is not a problem!"
"What's so difficult about this? I already know how to distinguish yellow!"
Peng Zailu was a Grandmaster. He could tell at a glance that the old man was only born with cultivation, but had been deprived of it. But when he saw the three blood-silver needle tails on the back of his head, his fat face suddenly became a little gloomy, and his eyes showed confusion and annoyance.
"To be fair to our distinguished guest, although this man's physical injuries are serious, his life orifice has been punctured, and his cultivation is considered useless, he has been tortured by soul searching. Even if he is saved, he will probably be an idiot!"
Wu Ming's face darkened. With his eyesight, he naturally knew how serious the trauma the old man suffered, but he didn't expect that even his soul had been damaged, which was beyond his ability!
"Tongbao Bank has money flowing all over the world. There should be a panacea for treating such injuries, right?"
However, considering his loyalty and some things, he still needs to ask questions clearly, so he should treat a dead horse as a living doctor and do his best.
"Yes, yes, the price is second, but..."
Peng Zailu showed hesitation, not because he doubted Wu Ming's financial resources, but because it might not be effective.
"No problem! Use the best!"
Wu Ming directly took out the silver coin token. This thing can be worth a million spiritual stones, and you can get several ordinary treasures.
"Please wait a moment, dear customer, we still have this requiem pill in stock in the store!"
Peng Zailu thought for a moment, clapped his fat hands and left the private room. (To be continued)
