"I didn't expect Jing Zhaoyin's actions to be so fast, Young Master Ben was assassinated yesterday and Lord Shangguan smashed a thief's stronghold today, but he didn't catch a single person alive." Lu Zhan sat next to the bookcase and tapped his fingers on the table, looking at the people who came to report.

Did the second uncle already know that someone was ready to deal with the Lu family. Could his cousin's accident in Shuozhou City also be the mastermind behind the scenes? Could his previous poisoning also be related to this matter, too many questions lingered in Lu Zhan's heart. For a while, Lu Zhan forgot to tell the person who came to report the news to retreat.

The person who came to report the news was half-kneeling on the ground and did not dare to move a bit, that person knew very well that these powerful and wealthy families never valued their lives, and once they made these people unhappy, it was not impossible for their heads to fall to the ground.

Xiao Yezi shouted softly, and the young master pulled Lu Zhan's mind back. "That's... You step back first. Someone took him to have a cup of tea and rest. ”

Not only was the person who reported the news stunned, but even the few little maids around him were stunned. As if I couldn't believe all this, how could a subordinate get such treatment. After being stunned for a few seconds, Xiao Yezi made a face at those people, although he didn't understand why Lu Zhan did this, but everyone responded.

Lu Zhan didn't know that his actions had made him famous in the market and among the servants, saying that the second young master of the Lu family was generous and treated a person who came to report the news so favorably. This is something that is simply not seen among rich boys.

Right now, the second uncle is still leading the troops, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, and a poisonous snake hidden in the dark is ready to strike again from time to time, which makes Lu Zhan very uncomfortable, as a traverser, he is so embarrassed, isn't he being ridiculed by other traversers.

I have watched so many episodes of Conan's anime and Di Renjie's film and television works, as well as those brain-burning movies, and the reasoning skills I have exercised will definitely be able to find clues.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan recalled all the things of yesterday, why did the killer know that I would definitely pass by there? These killers are all dead, indicating that the owner definitely doesn't want people to know. If something really happens to the Lu family and causes the strength to be damaged, then whoever gets the most benefits is more likely to be a criminal suspect.

Lu Zhan quickly ran his brain, and a terrible thought entered Lu Zhan's mind: if the core figures of the Lu family all had accidents at the same time, then the Lu family would definitely fall into infighting. The emperor may use this to recover some privileges or land that originally belonged to the Lu family.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zhan's back felt tidal, cold sweat broke out on his head, and his hands were clenched into fists. Xiao Yezi on the side was so frightened when he saw Lu Zhan's appearance that he took out a handkerchief and wiped it.

Lu Zhan felt that his face was suddenly touched, and instinctively reached over and grabbed what touched his face. Xiao Yezi's hand that was about to wipe Lu Zhan's sweat was suddenly clenched tightly, and there was a feeling of dampness and heat in his palm. Lu Zhan also came back to his senses, and was very puzzled when he saw Xiao Yezi's crimson cheeks, it turned out that Lu Zhan's hand did not let go.

Lu Zhan let go of Xiao Yezi's little hand at this time, secretly thinking that this hand felt as soft as silk, and it would be nice if he touched it a few more times. Most of the tension and annoyance just now were eliminated at once.

"Xiao Yezi, do you think Your Majesty will take back those fiefs and privileges that were originally given to each family for some reason?"

"How could the young master, even if it was a few decades ago, the State of Chu, the State of Wen, the State of Rui, the State of Zeng, the State of Sui, and the State of Chen, together with the abolished prince, wanted to grab the throne of the current emperor, and after pacifying, I originally wanted to abolish the State of Wen, the State of Rui, the State of Zeng, the State of Sui, and the State of Chen, and change the counties to be directly governed by the central government, and divide the land of Chu into..."

"Get straight to the point." Lu Zhan was anxious to know the result. Seeing the young master like this, he went straight to the point.

"The abolition of the feudal state and the change of the county to the county caused almost all people to oppose it, and the final result was to order the rebellious monarch to judge himself, and then elect an heir among the clans, among which the Rui State that led the rebellion was divided into feudal ministers who had made meritorious contributions to the rebellion, among which Wen, Sui, Zeng, and Chen were reduced to sub-states, and the Chu State was reduced to a marquis state and handed over three counties to the Son of Heaven, and the vassal states that participated in the rebellion were later sent by the imperial capital to divide the original power."

After listening to Xiao Yezi say so many words in one breath, Lu Zhan thought that there was no contradiction between the Lu family and the royal family, and the emperor couldn't take the Lu family under the knife. Lu Zhan relied on watching a lot of palace fighting dramas, and another thought rose in his heart, could it be that someone in the Lu family wanted to be the head of the family, so he planned to kill the person who stood in the way. Since ancient times, infighting has been an important factor in decay, and Lu Zhan didn't want such a thing to happen to the Lu family.

"Xiao Yezi, you have done Young Master Ben a great favor, tell me what reward you want?" After ruling out the possibility that the emperor was behind the scenes, Lu Zhan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Slave... No... I just ask the young master to be careful when he goes out in the future, not to be in danger again, and to be able to accompany the young master all the time. ”

Lu Zhan was stunned when he heard this, the inner wish of a young girl in her prime-old turned out to be like this.

The wind gradually chilled, the dark clouds began to thicken from thin to thick, the vendors in the city put away their shops, and in a carriage thirty miles out of the capital sat a young man with gauze wrapped around his left arm, and beside him was a middle-aged man with an angry face. If Lu Zhanzai is there, he will definitely recognize this young man as his cousin, and the richly dressed person is his third uncle Lu Qian.

In the marching procession, a middle-aged man in armor looked at the letter from the flying pigeon in his hand, and after reading it, he casually took the note into his arms. Looking at the boundless procession, I saw that the middle-aged man summoned a young man in black soft armor.

"Dare to attack my Lu family, and let you see my Lu Ji's methods when I return to Beijing. Mozhu, you sent someone to the fiefdom to secretly mobilize a group of good men to come to the capital. It was getting dark and it was about to rain heavily. Lu Ji, who was wearing iron armor, said to the young man beside him.

"No, sir." A resolute and cold voice replied to Lu Ji. "I heard that the second young master was assassinated on the streets of Beijing, and it seems that the perpetrators thought that this ambush against us would definitely succeed, so they dared to do it on the street. Moreover, the third master and the son-in-law of the third master's family were also assassinated. ”

Fortunately, Yang Feng arrived with the team to save Zhan'er. Mozhu, you have to remember that you and Zhan'er will be a big help for Ting Chen to take charge of the Lu family in the future. ”

The sky gradually darkened, and the dark clouds of black pressure covered the capital like a lid, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and most of the people who appeared on the street were the officials who came out to inspect and the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Seeing the soldiers patrolling the streets, most of the people hiding in a shop to hide from the rain remembered the case that happened yesterday, and Lu Zhan's assassination attracted all kinds of speculation among the people about such wealthy nobles, which was nothing more than an internal struggle for power and profit, and the conflict between the rich sons, and it was also rumored that Lu Zhan was murdered because of other wealthy sons in order to snatch confidantes.

In an inconspicuous corner of the shop, an eight-foot man dressed plainly dressed and wearing a shabby hat touched the knife in his arms, but his eyes were fixed on the window, because he saw a dozen people still hurrying down the street with blades on their bodies. Although he was dressed like an ordinary person, he still couldn't escape the eyes of this swordsman.

The dozen or so men, who hid their blades on their bodies to avoid patrolling the streets, walked quietly through the alley to a bland little house. These dozen or so people took advantage of the darkness before the heavy rain to climb into the mansion like ghosts.

The men determined how many of them were by the candles lit inside the room and the sounds that came from them, and after a person outside the room made a decapitation gesture with his hand, the dozen or so men burst into flames.

The thunder drowned out the screams of the slain, and the heavy rain washed away all the traces of it, and the rain slid down the blades and fell to the earth with a hint of blood red.
