Chapter 249: Brush off your clothes

Shaojun never believed that Liang Xiao would do something to him one day, and even yesterday, he thought that the two of them were close and good partners who worked together.

When Liang Xiao was about to take someone's life, Shaojun tried his best to hide, and at the same time shouted loudly, and finally rushed out some soldiers from behind to help him hold Liang Xiao.

"Brother Liang, why?" Shaojun looked at him with disappointment in his eyes.

Liang Xiao shrunk his neck: "Lu Lu promised to give me a sum of money and let me take my wife and children away and fly away." ”

"If you want to get rid of the Righteous Ranger, just consult with me, why do you want to do such a thing?"

Liang Xiao frowned: "What's the use of discussing with you, I need a sum of money." We volunteer rangers have always robbed the rich and helped the poor, but we have never thought of relieving ourselves. What kind of days do you see we're living? There is a shortage of food and clothing at home, and we have to take risks for those people. ”

"But Brother Liang, aren't we righteous rangers gathered just for the people to live a good life? If you only want to do it for yourself, what is the need for the Righteous Ranger to exist? ”

"I'm ......" Liang Xiao opened her mouth, but after all, she didn't say anything again, and was escorted away by the soldiers.

Shaojun suddenly felt very discouraged at this moment, even Liang Xiao would be betrayed because of some money, and he didn't know if the other people in the righteous rangers still had two hearts.

He went downstairs in despair, and when he glanced at random, he saw a figure in the street dressed in the same black robe. The alarm bell suddenly rang in Shaojun's mind, he knew that Lu Lu had the habit of doing things by himself, and he didn't trust people very much. Pai Liang Xiao pretended to be waiting here, and he must be uneasy in his heart, and he would definitely observe everything here in a nearby corner.

"The person in the black robe on the road is Lu Lu, catch him quickly!" Shaojun shouted at the soldiers, and they reacted quickly enough to turn around and run down the street.

And Lu Lu, who was originally walking leisurely, also heard this shout, he turned around and looked at it for a moment, and suddenly ran wildly. I thought that the soldiers would focus on him after arresting Liang Xiao, and they would have no time to care about their own existence, but they didn't expect Shaojun to see him at a glance.

The soldiers chased after them with their front feet, and Shaojun couldn't stand still, so he chased after them together.

Lu Lu ran to a river, passed through a lush flower field on the other side, and ran towards the house not far away. Shaojun once heard Lu Yiyi mention that she lived in a big mansion with everyone, and there were many flowers nearby, so she thought that this was where the Lu family lived.

But the more he chased after him, the more Shaojun felt unusual. Looking at Lu Lu's wild appearance, he should already know that they were chasing after him. In that case, why did he come here? Isn't this deliberately exposing the location of the Lu clan?

Thinking of this, Shaojun gradually slowed down, and he was about to remind the soldiers in front of him, but he didn't expect that they had already kicked open the door and walked in. Shaojun had no choice but to follow them into the house, but it was empty, and even Lu Lu, who they had just looked in, was nowhere to be found.

The house was deserted, full of weeds, and no one had ever lived in it. The soldiers were very surprised, and turned to look at the young gentleman, who looked around the place carefully, and finally landed his gaze on the ring of wire in front of the hall. After a pause, Shaojun suddenly pushed the people around him and ran out.

"Watch out for hidden weapons!"

In the originally silent house, suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired, and those mechanisms connected by iron wires were touched, and all the arrows came at them. Fortunately, Shaojun reminded them in advance, and everyone rushed out of the door, only two of them were accidentally injured, and the injuries were not serious.

"Looks like we've got it." Shaojun said with some guilt. But just now he was sure that the person he saw was indeed Lu Lu, and he was sure that he had indeed entered this house, just a good big living person, why did he suddenly disappear?

Shaojun thought about it carefully, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly led the soldiers to the back. As he expected, there was indeed an exit there, and Lu Lu had quietly escaped from here after entering this time. But it's strange that there are no footprints on the ground.

Shaojun led people to prepare to go back, but found that Liu Heng and Yifang actually came over with soldiers in person. A mighty group of people stood guard outside the house, surrounding the whole house.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, why are you here?" Shaojun was surprised.

"Nature is here to help you." Yifang jumped off his horse and walked directly to the house.

"Eldest sister! Don't go in, there's a trap! Shaojun was in a hurry, and he panicked all of a sudden.

Yifang smiled comfortingly at him, but his feet did not stop. She walked to the door, picked up a few rocks and threw them in, and two more arrows were fired. After a while, a few more stones were thrown, and some more arrows were fired. Yifang kept repeating this action until the stone was thrown in and finally calmed down, and she walked in with peace of mind, and it was really safe.

"Your Majesty, look." Yifang pulled Liu Heng to a rice jar and pointed out the lid of the rice jar to him.

Liu Heng looked at her and smiled, and then understood the clue, and then Liu Heng said loudly: "Master Lu, don't hide, let's come out to breathe!" ”

Everyone didn't know why, but after waiting for a while, Lu Lu actually lifted the lid and climbed out of the rice jar.

"How did you know I was hiding here?" Lu Lu always felt that he was hiding here seamlessly, after all, no one would think that there would be a problem with the rice tank of an old house.

Yifang raised his head towards the lid: "This house is full of weeds, and other places are also abandoned, but the lid of this rice jar is clean and clean, without a trace of dust, even anyone who looks at it will feel strange." ”

Lu Lu laughed out loud: "The queen deserves to be the queen!" However, even if you find me, no, even if you kill me, you won't know where the other Lu clan people are. As long as one of us is alive, we will always be your confidants. ”

"Really?" Liu Heng didn't care about his threat, but just took Lu Lu out of the door of the house.

It turned out that in addition to Liu Heng and Yifang, there were also Deng Tong and Ziqian who came in a hurry with a team of people behind. The soldiers beside them dragged the prisoner cart, and the prisoner cart was standing with the other Lu clansmen. Lu Lu looked at all this, and was dumbfounded for a moment, he carefully designed to lure the soldiers here, thinking that even if he couldn't let them die here, he could protect the other clansmen from being caught, which he never expected.

"What's going on?" Lu Lu looked at them in disbelief.

Not only Lu Lu, but also the other soldiers who went first, and even Shaojun all looked at Liu Heng and Yifang with questioning expressions. But Liu Heng didn't take the initiative to explain, and Yifang stood up.

"Shaojun, although the emperor and the palace believe in you, they are still a little suspicious of these people under you. To be cautious, after you returned yesterday, the palace sent people to follow you and stay near the stronghold. Sure enough, I saw your companion Liang Xiao sneaking out, vigilantly going to a house along the way. Looking at his dress, the house should not be his home, and when the soldiers investigated, they found that it was actually the residence of the Lu clan. ”

"So you found out the whole thing last night?" Lu Lu thought that his plan was foolproof, but he didn't expect to be seen through before he started.

Yi Fang nodded without hesitation: "Since Liang Xiao has gone to report to the Lu family, then we will definitely reveal all our plans, so we will plan and arrest the others first, and then take down you, the culprit." ”

In the end, Liu Hengda won a complete victory, and according to his previous promise to Shaojun, he only severely disposed of Lu Lu, and the others were slightly punished, and then resettled them and let them live like ordinary people.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shaojun knelt on the ground and bowed, "I listened to the eldest sister before...... I heard the queen mother say that we misunderstood the emperor, and it seems that this is indeed the case. For the previous incident, I hope the emperor will punish him. ”

"If you make meritorious deeds, there is no need to punish you." Liu Heng was in a good mood at this time, "Now that the Lu clan has been eliminated, I also plan to start dealing with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in the future, you righteous rangers, but there is no place for it, what do you plan to do in the future?" ”

"Since the people don't need us anymore, it's natural to disband." Shaojun replied very cheerfully.

"No, I want you to live forever."

This made Shaojun a little puzzled, and he looked at Liu Heng suspiciously.

"What I mean is to make you the eyes of the court in the people, directly responsible to me, and not to obey anyone's orders. If there are some corrupt people among the people, you can report them to me, and I will deal with them one by one, and return the people to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"What the emperor said is true?" Shaojun couldn't help but be overjoyed, if the righteous ranger was really disbanded, he was really reluctant.

Liu Heng smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, you have no jokes." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"However, you can't patronize the affairs of the righteous rangers, now that you have recognized your eldest sister, you always have to take the time to talk to her more, and it has become a longing for your sister and brother who have not seen each other for many years." Liu Heng glanced at Yifang, she was pursing her lips and smiling.

"Yes, the grass people must often come to talk to the eldest sister."

"Now that you are a member of the court, don't call yourself a grass citizen anymore. I also thought, after all, he is the younger brother of the queen, so he should be named a marquis. Liu Heng asked for Yifang's opinion.

"Your Majesty, the young monarch is used to being free outside the palace, so there is no need for the marquis, let him continue to lead the righteous rangers!"

"What the queen said is that the minister really feels that it is good to be able to lead the righteous rangers to share the emperor's worries."
