Jin Yuanwu has been watching coldly, seeing that Lu Yuan has great respect for these two brothers, and he cares more about these two people, after Lu Yuan left, he took Yuan Qing to follow Qin Quan's side and secretly observed him.

On the other side, Lu Yuan returned to the bamboo house and saw Lu Yutong holding a bamboo pole to beat wild ducks by the lake, and the ducks that were hit by her would dive for a while and hide in places where she couldn't knock.

"Yutong, go back."

He greeted and led the little girl back to the county office, and since lunch had not yet been eaten, the two of them ate some bread in the house first.

After eating and drinking, he walked up to the little girl and took out all the copper coins in his arms.

"Yutong, this is my Yulu, you put it away."

Lu Yutong was very happy when she saw that he really kept the agreement and let herself take care of the money, she didn't care about the money, but her brother took such a fancy to the agreement with herself, which made her feel that he valued her.

Holding the silver tael, she happily ran into her room.

After the little girl came out, Lu Yuan said:

"Yutong, in the future, you can take thirty yuan a month as pocket money, but you need to learn ten words from my brother every night, okay?"

"Okay." Lu Yutong nodded again and again.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, touched her little head, and went back to the county government to deal with official business.

……

Two days later

In the secret room of the Chen family, Chen Guang, Cao Jian, and Lin Zhao were waiting in the house, and Chen Guang's injuries were not yet fully healed, lying on a bamboo couch.

All three of them had calm faces, looking preoccupied.

After a long time, the door of the secret room opened, and Qi Chongde led two men in black cloaks in, both of whom were covered from head to toe by cloaks.

After pulling off the hood, it became clear that it was Li Xiancheng and Li Xianwei.

Cao Jian and Lin Zhao both got up to salute, Chen Guang struggled to get up, Li Xiancheng waved his hand and said, "You are injured, what are you doing with these false courtesies?" ”

"Where's Lord Yuan?" Chen Guang asked, half-seated.

"That bastard listened to his father-in-law's words and began to distance himself from us, these official gentry families are unreliable at critical moments!" Lieutenant Li said angrily.

"How can this be? Could it be that Old Man Shen is also afraid of the dog county order? Lin Zhao panicked.

Li Xiancheng glanced at him coldly, and thought: "It's really a straw bag, Old Man Shen used to be just a foreign governor, but now the Shen family is no longer what it used to be, Lu Yuan Ning Guohou is the backer, dare to go against Xue Sima, can the Shen family not be scrupulous?" ”

"Brother Chen, you said that there was a good way to deal with Lu Yuan, we just came here, what is a good way?" He stopped rambling and asked bluntly.

"I'm going to find someone to assassinate him." Chen Guang said in a deep voice.

"I just thought you had a good way, but I didn't expect it to be such a bad idea, so the official won't accompany me." Li Xiancheng was furious.

When officialdom fights, unless absolutely necessary, they will never use the means of assassination, which is a tacit understanding, because if this hole is torn open, no one will want to live in peace.

"I'm just saying hello to Brother Li, this matter is up to us, it has nothing to do with Brother Li, Brother Li just needs to be ready, after Lu Yuan's death, how to take over the power of the county government!" Chen Guang had expected Li Wencheng's reaction and said calmly.

Li Wencheng didn't say a word, put on his hoods with the two lieutenants of Li County, and left quickly.

"These officials are just timid and afraid, and they don't want them to make a move, look at that useless look." Lin Zhao and the others walked away, and sneered.

The other two didn't answer him, and he was one of them, scolding and chattering non-stop.

Cao Jian's old face wrinkled together, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Guang was extremely worried in his heart, his family business was here, and he would never have thought of murdering the imperial court officials, but recently a word suddenly came from above, ordering him to get rid of Lu Yuan, he didn't dare not listen, so he had to make this decision.

"Steward Qi, you go and tell them to do it as soon as possible." Chen Guang whispered.

Qi Chongde answered, walked out of the secret room, and instructed one of his henchmen: "You go and tell the guests of the West Flower Hall, and say that I will invite them to the Eight Immortals Tower for dinner." ”

Out of Chen's Mansion, it was already dark outside, Qi Chongde rushed to the Eight Immortals Building to take care of everything, and then closed his eyes at a round table on the second floor, waiting for everyone.

After a long time, his eyes opened, and he saw a person coming up at the top of the stairs, it was the man surnamed Xie.

Behind him was a couple, the man was in his forties with a wooden face, and the woman was in her thirties, and if she only looked at the right side of her face, she still had charm, but unfortunately there was a long scar on the left side of her face, which made people never want to take a second look after one look.

There are also three hair-clad monsters behind the husband and wife, one of them has a headscarf tied to his head, and the other two are tall and short, both with blades, and they can be seen at a glance that they are people in the martial arts.

Qi Chongde stood up and beckoned to the six people, and waited for everyone to sit down, then he arched his hand and said:

"It is a great honor to be able to get the famous "Iron Hand", "Soul Hooking" and "Qiantang Three Heroes" to come to help today. ”

Tie Shou's real name is Xie Ju, and the soul seducing sword Xue Bihua and the life-seducing sword Zhang Quan and his wife, because Xue Bihua's martial arts are above her husband, so her title has to be ranked first.

The three heroes of Qiantang are the three brothers Hong Qingchao, Hong Jinbo and Hong Muchi.

"Although Manager Qi doesn't walk around the rivers and lakes, his martial arts are not under us, so it's too modest to say this." Xue Bihua said with a smile.

The scar on her face curled with a smile, making her already terrifying appearance even more eerie.

"How can I compare with you in this little way." Qi Chongde waved his hand again and again.

Hong Qingchao was very satisfied with his attitude, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi asked our brother to come to him, please make it clear, as long as my brother can do it, he will never refuse." ”

"Let's just drink today, and it's not too late for us to discuss things later." Qi Chongde said, thinking how could such a thing be said in public.

"Could it be that Brother Qi wants to buy my lives with a meal?" Xie Ju said slowly.

His words were obviously demolishing the stage, and Qi Chongde's face changed slightly after hearing it.

However, this is no wonder Xie Ju, since he saw the head catcher and the squad leader fighting in this county at the gate of the city, he has decided never to make trouble in this county, and what Qi Chongde wants them to do is nine times out of ten illegal and undisciplined, he naturally will not participate.

The reason why they are still here is just to see what Qi Chongde wants them to do and satisfy their curiosity.

"What did Brother Xie say, I heard that Chen Yuanwai, the owner of Steward Qi, is the richest man in the county, even if we want to make Steward Qi a good friend, we are willing to charge less, but people with the status of Chen Yuanwai are the most face-saving, and they will not agree if they think about it." Xue Bihua said with a smile.

Hong Jinbo had been eating and drinking before, and his eyes began to light up after hearing this:

"It turned out to be the richest man, that's amazing, amazing!"

As he spoke, he reached out and gave a thumbs up.

Qi Chongde snorted secretly, he knew that these people in the underworld were smiling and grinning with you on the surface, and they might be plotting your property and life in their hearts, as the saying goes, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, if he doesn't show his hand, their crooked ideas may even hit the Chen family!

"The reward will not disappoint you, brother first."

He poured six glasses of wine, and with his fingers, he threw the glasses horizontally towards the six people one after another.

The wine glass was in front of everyone in a blink of an eye, and the six of them reached out to grab it, but the wine glass suddenly turned around and flew back to Qi Chongde.

Xue Bihua snorted coldly, stretched her arm forward sharply, and finally held the wine glass, but there was a dark energy coming from the wine glass, and she resisted with her strength, and half of the wine in the wine glass was suddenly spilled.

She glanced left and right, except for her, the wine glasses of Qiantang Sanjie and her husband were all returned to Qi Chongde's hands, only Xie Ju held the wine glass steadily, and the wine in the cup was not spilled.

He smirked, and was just about to drink the wine down, when suddenly there was a "click", the glass cracked in half, and the wine was all spilled on the table.

Xie Ju's face changed slightly, and he thought: "This person's kung fu is so good, I'm afraid that his martial arts are still above me." ”

Qiantang Sanjie suffered a loss, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, the boss Hong Qingchao sneered and said, "Brother Qi is so capable, what are you calling my brother for?" ”

"Brother can still see people with his kung fu at this point, and his real kung fu is naturally not as good as the three." Qi Chongde stood up and handed the wine over, his posture extremely low.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Hong Qingchao knew that he was deliberately flattering, but he was still very useful in his heart, took the wine with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the table.

After drinking, he picked up his palm, only to see that there was an extra palm print on the table.

"Good palm power." Qi Chongde said with a smile, thinking that this person's internal strength is not bad.

"I can't imagine that there is a good man like Brother Qi in this remote place." Hong Jinbo grinned.

When he saw that his eldest brother began to show his kung fu, he was naturally not far behind, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, threw them to the wall, and more than a dozen chopsticks were inserted into the wooden wall of the restaurant, embedded into the word "hero".

"Good means!" Qi Chongde said with a smile.

Xue Bihua also secretly praised, thinking that he had seen that the three of them couldn't hold the wine glass before, and his martial arts were mediocre, and now it seems that he should not be underestimated.
