Chapter 325: Strength is the Fundamental
Since giving the mansion to Li You to live in, Lu Binqian has taken his family to live in the courtyard, and there are still guests for the first few months, but since Li You set the target of the first attack as the mussel where Zhou, Huang, and He's three families are located, the carriages and horses in front of the door have suddenly become sparse, and in the past few days, only the guards are left at the door.

Lu Binqian's study was once a scene for deciding the affairs of Yunzhou, but at this time, only himself and a few cronies of the Lu family were left, and the scenery of the past was gone; Everyone present was silent, and there were always people who wanted to say a few words, but when they saw Lu Binqian's dead face, they closed their mouths and lowered their heads.
"Is there any news from Beijing?" Lu Binqian pinned his last hope on finding the old help of the DPRK and China, but the news has been sent for a long time, but he has not received any reply.
He didn't know that there were more powerful forces in the court that had begun to operate, and Wang Ji wanted to make meritorious contributions to the appointment of Yunzhou Tongzhi, with the strength of the Langya Wang clan, who would impeach Li You, who controlled the military power in Yunzhou at this time? If he leaves, how can Wang Ji make meritorious service? It's good to be able to save his life, for the sake of a prefect who has returned to his hometown and a behemoth like Langya Wang, these people are not bad brains.
"Not really." Lu Binqian's son Lu Liding replied in a low voice that he was not good at studying since he was a child, and he gave up his plan to continue the imperial examination by virtue of his family's power and fame, and he had never been liked by Lu Binqian. ”
If it had been earlier, such news would have reached their ears as soon as possible, but now both the government and the gentry have deliberately distanced themselves from them, so it took many days for Lu Liding to harvest this belated news, "I heard that this time it is the disciple of the Langya Wang family, and the family has suppressed the Xungui family a lot recently, as long as we wait until the new Tongzhi takes office, we may be able to regain our prestige." "He knows a little bit about the overall situation of the government.
"The capital is thousands of miles away from Yunzhou, we don't know if we can wait until then!" Lu Binqian put himself in his shoes, if he was Li You, he would definitely solve himself before Wang Ji arrived.
"Father, you are a Jinshi, could it be that this Li You still dares to attack you?" Lu Liding is used to being powerful and blessed in Yunzhou, and he has long regarded Lu Binqian, who was admitted to the Jinshi and served as a prefect, as a sky-like figure, and he still can't believe that there are still people in Yunzhou who dare to attack their Lu family.
"This time and that time!" Lu Binqian also deeply regretted, if it weren't for the reluctance to give up the money and food at home that day, and the fear that he would give too much would easily cause the dissatisfaction of the civil and official family, thinking that he had colluded with Xungui, he would not have only given Li You this little money and food, but he didn't expect that the wise move at the beginning became the rope of today's life.
Now the mixed Yuan sect thieves have gathered more than 10,000 people to attack Yunzhou City, and the safety of Yunzhou City is all pinned on Li You, from the prefect to the gentry, he dare not obey his requirements, if he wants to deal with himself, I am afraid that no one dares to stand up and speak for him...... Just like in the past, their Lu family forcibly seized other people's land.
And maybe these people are also thinking about how to distribute the land and family property that belonged to him after the Lu family fell; Maybe there is still a way to survive now that the family wealth is scattered? Lu Binqian suddenly thought, but it was all accumulated by his own hard work for decades? Thinking that these hard-won wealth would leave him, Lu Binqian's heart ached.
"These days, you have been careful in your words and deeds, and you are not allowed to go out, and you are instructed to take care of the yard, and not to make any mistakes. One person and two horses, day and night, be sure to see Wang Tongzhi as soon as possible. Lu Binqian was reluctant to give up these family properties after all, he pinned his hopes on Li You not daring to ask for his life, and Wang had the opportunity to restore his innocence, as the biggest gentry in Yunzhou, he would always be of some use to Xintongzhi, right?
Lu Liding went out with a bitter face, for a pampered person like him, it is a matter of life to travel day and night, but his father's life cannot be shirked, he can only hope that Wang Tongzhi can go faster so that he can save a little effort. Now that it is time for the life and death of the Lu family, Lu Binqian prepared the best fast horse for Lu Liding, sufficient silver and two dry food, and set off on the same day
Recently, because of the gradual approach of the Mixed Yuan Sect, all the city gates in Yunzhou have stepped up their investigations, although the Lu family has shown a decline at the moment, it is still a very easy thing to deal with some gatekeepers, throw two pieces of broken silver past, and the government army at the gate will nod and send Lu Liding out of the city.
It's a pity that these little soldiers haven't been happy for long, when they saw a group of group trainers hurrying over, and snatched his broken silver, "Where did this come from?" ”
"Yes.... Is it a small one? The janitor said tremblingly.
"Don't tell the truth, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin! Call me! Zhou Bofu snorted coldly and said, "Governor Wei asked Er and others to guard the city gate and beware of the Mixed Yuan Sect spies, that's how you and others do things?" Say, "Why does he give you money?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a group of wolf-like regimental exercises pounced on them, crackling for a while, and the people next to them were also affected by the pond fish, and the government troops guarding this city gate were all caught and tortured by Zhou Bofu.
These government soldiers are all chaotic guys, and it is okay to bully some ordinary people on weekdays, but when they encounter a fierce man like Zhou Bofu, they will not be a problem, and they will rush to confess after a few beatings, "Young Master Lu gave me the silver because he wanted me to let him out of the city earlier, and the little one knew that he was wrong!" ”
"Have you checked their luggage?" Zhou Bofu grabbed the neck of the government soldier and lifted him up with one hand and asked.
"Small... The small ones don't. The man's face flushed, and he could barely hold back the words.
"I'm in a hurry to go out of the city at such a time, and I don't dare to let people check my luggage, there must be fraud in it, maybe I'm going to report to the Mixed Yuan Sect." Zhou Bofu directly buttoned up a big hat, "Take all these people away, and inform the battalion to send cavalry to chase these people back for me." ”
A regimental trainer led the order, and after a short time, a group of cavalry rushed out of the Yunzhou camp and chased after Lu Liding in the direction where he had just disappeared; Lu Liding, who didn't know it, did not escape the pursuit of the cavalry, and was arrested less than an hour after leaving the city.
