"Second Master, I have something to report for my humble duty." At dawn in the Lu family's ancestral home, a middle-aged man with a black mole on his face came to knock on Lu Youwei's door and whispered a report outside the door.
.
"Push the door open and come in! Sit outside and wait for me." Lu Youwei's calm words came from inside.
"Yes, Second Master." The man with the black mole was Lu Youwei's confidant. He was relatively casual in front of Lu Youwei. He agreed, opened the door and walked in. He found a place to sit outside.
Lu Youwei was served by his beautiful concubine in the inner room, and after getting dressed, he came out and casually asked, "What's the matter? It's so early in the morning."
"Second Master, something happened. Our people at Changsun's place sent news that Ghost Sword was killed by Changsun's guards." The man with the black mole said in a low voice.
"What..." Lu Youwei's expression changed, and he no longer had the composure he had just now, and said anxiously: "How is this possible? We have analyzed the strength of the guards around Jianheng, let alone bribed a group of people around him.
The guard, the ghost sword is so powerful, how could he miss and be killed by the other party?"
The man with the black mole said: "Second Master, there is news from the other courtyard that Ghost Sword was killed by one of Changsun's guards."
Lu Youwei's expression had returned to calm and he said, "Where is the guard we bribed? What was he doing at the time?"
The man with the black mole said with a puzzled look on his face: "I am about to report to the second master. The news from the other hospital is that the guard who was bribed by us had his throat cut by a ghost knife."
Lu Youwei narrowed his eyes, a sinister look appeared on his face, and with a "pop" sound, he slapped the man with the black mole on the face and cursed: "You idiot, this is the person you bribed, huh, I
If we are not mistaken, we were tricked. The guard you bribed probably pretended to be bribed by you and later betrayed us. Ghost Sword fell into the trap of the other party. After discovering that the guard was a traitor, he killed him with all his strength.
Killed this person."
The man with the black mole fluttered, knelt on the ground, and said: "You deserve to die for your humble position. You ruined the second master's important affairs. It's just that the guard who was bribed by us not only accepted our money, but also had his son as a hostage in our hands. He also
Knowing this, it stands to reason that you shouldn’t betray us.”
Lu Youwei thought he had saved his life and sneered: "What does a son mean? If Jianheng promised this man glory and wealth, wouldn't this guard give up a son? Go and ask again, if the people around Lu Jianheng only
If this guard died, and he was killed by a ghost sword, that's probably what happened."
The man with the black mole felt a chill in his heart and said, "It's because of the carelessness of one's humble duty. Please punish me."
Lu Youwei sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, there is no point in blaming you. Get up! You have to be more cautious in doing things in the future."
"Thank you, Second Master." The man with the black mole shed tears of gratitude, got up and said, "Second Master, if the eldest grandson complains to the sect master, what will happen if the sect master takes the blame?"
"Alas! Originally, I wanted to wait until the most critical moment to bring up the issue of Jianheng's quarrel with his nineteen-year-old grandmother. I can only bring it out now to threaten this boy." Lu Youwei looked regretful. Last year
He accidentally discovered that Lu Jianheng was secretly having sex with his father's nineteen-year-old concubine. However, Lu Jianheng's father and brother were still alive at that time. Even if he told this matter, at best, she was so charming and beautiful that she was only ten years old.
The six-year-old nineteen-year-old concubine was beaten to death, and Lu Jianheng only received some punishment. After his father Lu Bian died, Lu Jianheng would eventually change from the eldest grandson to the eldest son, and there would be no substantial change. So he
So I kept this matter secret for the time being.
"Jianheng must be rushing from the county town to his ancestral home now. I'll write a letter. You can stop Jianheng on the road immediately and give this letter to him. I don't think he will tell the ghost now." Tell my father about the knife."
Lu Youwei was talking and had already started to write a letter. Although this time he just wanted to send someone to steal the copy of the secret decree and ruin Lu Jianheng's good deeds. He had not thought about assassinating Lu Jianheng now, but he didn't need to think too much to know that Lu Jianheng would definitely He will think that the ghost sword is here to kill him.
…
…
"...It was a coincidence. I didn't expect that Lu Youwei would send someone to steal a copy of the secret decree. I told Chen Yihang when I left. Fortunately, my lord talked to Chen Yihang for half an hour last night. Although this guy is afraid of death , but my brain is quite flexible and my eloquence is good, I should be able to complete the arrangements of the Lord." At the same time, Shen Guoer came to the prefect's mansion early in the morning and reported to Wang Junlin what happened in the Lu family's courtyard last night. go through.
"Yes, this is also an unexpected surprise. With Lu Jianheng's character, he will definitely file a complaint against Lu Bian as soon as possible. I don't know how Lu Youwei will respond. With Lu Youwei's scheming, he will not be defeated by Lu Bian immediately. It's the cloud." At the end of the sentence, Wang Junlin suddenly realized that this was not necessarily a good thing. What he wanted was for both Lu Jianheng and Lu Youwei to suffer losses, or for him to discover a flaw during the internal fight and destroy the Lu family's tree in Fanyang County in one fell swoop. If the towering tree fell down, it would be bad if Lu Youwei fell down prematurely.
"Do you want me to go and get in touch with Lu Youwei?" Shen Guoer suggested.
Wang Junlin thought for a while and said: "It's okay if Lu Youwei stays in the ancestral home. If he leaves the Lu family's ancestral home, if you have the opportunity, meet with him on my behalf and ask him if he wants help." , don’t say anything else for now.”
Shen Guo'er nodded and said, "Guo'er understands."
"Lu Jianheng has probably left the county by now. He can't wait to see Lu Bian, the old fox, with the copy of the secret order we prepared for him. Our plan here will continue." Wang Junlin's eyes flashed coldly, With Yang Guang's secret order, if he were not worried about not being able to eradicate the Lu family, and the biggest variable, the Fanyang County Navy, had not been dealt with, he could even attack the Lu family and kill them without having to find too good a reason. eradicate.
"Guoer will send someone to bring Huang Shuren here." Guoer was also excited. It seems that his brother Shen Guang has not taken the lead in such a big action!
"Okay, be careful not to let anyone see Huang Shuren." Wang Junlin warned cautiously.
Shen Guo'er said: "Don't worry, sir. Apart from Guo'er and the four sword servant brothers, there is no sixth person who will meet Huang Shuren."
At this time, the housekeeper Zhang Jinzhong came to report that there was a businessman outside who wanted to see him and brought a jade plaque with the identity of Goguryeo Prime Minister Yeon Taejo.
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Yuan Taizuo's people are finally here! We have just perfected our plan. With the participation of the Goguryeo people, Lu Bian and Dou Shihai will no longer have any doubts."
