Not long after, Changsun Wuji led a dozen guards out of Sikong Mansion and headed toward Chang'an International Shopping Center in a menacing manner.
When he arrived at Chang'an International Shopping Center, sure enough, he saw from a distance that the square, which used to be crowded with people, was deserted and deserted, with not a single soul in sight.
He was so angry that he looked at Du He and Zhang Xuansu on one side of the square, and hurriedly rushed forward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, he saw Du He waving to him happily.
Du He said loudly: "Oh, who am I? It turns out to be Mr. Changsun. Mr. Changsun, I have known you were coming for a long time and have been waiting for you for a long time. I remember back then, you snatched a concubine from the current head of the Fanyang Lu family.
, the Changsun family and the Lu family have been feuding for a long time. I think you have long wanted to get rid of the Lu family. Now that you have seized this great opportunity, you are really amazing... Welcome Lord Changsun to join the Prince Consort's Mansion, kill.
Guang Lushi."
Before he finished speaking, a dozen guards behind Du He suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs: "Welcome Lord Changsun to join the Prince Consort's Mansion and kill all the Lu family."
"Welcome Lord Changsun to join the Prince Consort's Mansion and kill all the Lu family."
"Welcome, Lord Changsun!"
"welcome!"
Not far away, the onlookers didn't know the truth or what happened at the scene. They only heard intermittently that Lord Changsun had joined the Prince Consort's Mansion and wanted to kill all the Lu family because the Lu family had robbed Lord Changsun's concubine.
Yeah, I can’t hear it clearly anyway, that’s probably what it means.
"Wow, who is this Lord Changsun? He actually has a grudge against the Lu family?"
"Lord Changsun, how many other lords can we find in Chang'an? They must be Sikong and Changsun Wuji!"
"Oh my God, Changsun Wuji actually wants to join the Prince Consort's Mansion and kill all the Lu family? Impossible!"
"Bah, what's impossible? Think about it, the Lu family took away Lord Changsun's favorite concubine. That's okay. This is not a woman's problem, it's a face problem."
"Lord Sikong Changsun wants to kill all the Lu family!"
"Lord Changsun has already killed all the Lu family members!"
The more the news spreads, the more outrageous it becomes.
…
Changsun Wuji, who was walking forward, wanted to question Du He and drive him away, but halfway there, his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
He pointed at Du He and the corners of his mouth kept twitching: "Du He, you are so cruel!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without stopping for a moment.
When the housekeeper saw it, he asked curiously: "Sir, aren't we going to argue with Du He?"
Changsun Wuji waved his sleeves angrily: "What a theory, haven't you seen that everyone on the street said that I joined the Prince Consort's Mansion to kill all the Lu family? If I really meet Du He, no matter what we say,
Those stupid untouchables will say that I have really joined the Prince Consort’s Mansion. Let’s go back to the Mansion.”
"What about the business of Chang'an International Shopping Center?"
"How long has it been, and this business is nothing!"
Changsun Wuji has never been so angry as he is today.
…
Lu Mansion.
backyard.
After receiving the latest news, Lu Mingyou couldn't help but said: "Du He, this little beast, has led the whole atmosphere of Chang'an astray. If things go on like this, if I, the Lu family, don't do something, won't people think that I am Lu?
I'm scared."
Wu San, a masked man in black, said: "Sir, Du He only has a dozen guards around him. Do you want to find some people to disguise themselves as common people, create chaos, and beat him up?"
Lu Mingyou shook his head: "Now, the whole world is staring at me, the Lu family. If this happens, someone might get caught. In this matter, we can only kill people with a borrowed knife."
"Whose knife can I borrow?"
"Of course it belongs to His Majesty," Lu Mingyou said.
Soon, he had a calculation in his mind.
…
The next day.
Early morning.
It seems that the affairs of the court have almost been discussed.
An official suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort Du He has been recruiting warriors in Chang'an City in the past few days, and he also claimed to kill all the Lu family. The impact is extremely bad. After all, the Prince Consort Du He represents the face of the royal family. He is so crazy and crazy."
The wanton behavior in the streets is really damaging to the majesty of the royal family. I ask your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Li Er was surprised and said: "There is still this matter? It is really unreasonable. Hou Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you to investigate and deal with."
Hou Junji agreed: "Yes! Your Majesty."
…
At dusk.
Chang'an International Shopping Center is still deserted.
As soon as Hou Junji came near, he heard Du He's voice saying: "Several warriors are staying here. What are you waiting for? Come join us quickly. Kill all the Lu family and your name will go down in history."
The passers-by were so frightened that they ran away in a hurry.
Hou Junji stepped forward helplessly.
"My dear nephew, you are busy!" Hou Junji stepped forward and said in a dumbfounded voice.
Du He got up from the chair, hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Hou Junji, held Hou Junji's hand enthusiastically, and said: "Oh, let me tell you, there are absolutely no cowards in the world. I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely be better."
There are hot-blooded men, no, Mr. Hou is one of them. Mr. Hou, welcome to join the Prince Consort's Mansion. You have been on the battlefield for many years and are familiar with military books. When I recruit three hundred warriors, I will leave them all to you to command. You see
How about it? Kill all the Lu family, and the biggest credit will be yours."
"Ahem..."
Hou Junji drank half of the tea and coughed it all up.
He quickly said: "Du He, please don't harm me. I'm not here to join you. I'm here to investigate this matter thoroughly according to His Majesty's order."
Um?
Du He's expression changed.
Then he snatched the tea cup from Hou Junji's hand, threw it aside, and said solemnly: "It turns out that Mr. Hou has official business."
Hou Junji: "..."
The speed of turning the page is faster than turning the pages of a book.
He coughed in embarrassment and said: "Du He, to be fair, I sympathize with you. After all, the loss of several million guan is not a small amount, and a lot of people have been lost. However, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have already gone to Hu
The county has conducted a thorough investigation, and so far there is no evidence that it was the Lu family who did it. It is indeed inappropriate for you to clamor here with such a big fanfare that you want to kill all the Lu families. Your Majesty asked me to tell you, enough is enough."
Du He suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Master Hou, what are you talking about?"
Hou Junji almost went berserk.
But despite his age, he still endured it.
"First of all, your recruitment of three hundred warriors is a bit shocking. If the imperial censor catches you and impeaches you for treason, I'm afraid it will bring you a lot of trouble." Hou Junji said seriously,
He pointed at the huge sign.
Du He smiled: "Master Hou, I'm afraid you don't have any misunderstanding about my recruitment. I am recruiting people according to the order. His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated on the farm in Hu County. I have an unshirkable responsibility. My father is kind-hearted, so let him
I have done meritorious service and asked me to recruit people to thoroughly investigate this matter. What's wrong with this? If any censor in Gouri dares to impeach me, he is disobeying the holy order. Mr. Hou, as a senior member of the imperial court, you should treat this kind of people.
Just beat him to death with a stick."
Hou Junji was speechless and said: "Even if you are recruiting people according to the order, three hundred warriors are still too many. There are not so many people in the entire Dali Temple."
Du He smiled again: "Master Hou, do you remember that my father asked me to recruit people that day? Is there a limit to the number of people?"
Hou Junji thought for a moment and said, "That's not true."
Du He shrugged his shoulders, "That's fine. Since there is no limit on the number of people, it's normal for me to recruit three people, three hundred people, or three thousand people. Why bother with the number of people?"
