Chapter 142: Crisis Comes
"Who of you dare!" Li Youxuan snorted softly, stepped forward slowly, took out a golden token, showed it to them, and immediately glanced at Wang Yongquan who was puzzled, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Wang Yongquan, do you even want to kill the county lord?"
Seeing Li Youxuan take out the county lord token, Wang Yongquan's brain buzzed, as if he had fallen into the abyss in an instant, his face changed suddenly, and then he broke free from the guards beside him, ignoring the sharp pain in his chest, rushed directly to her, fell to the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "County Lord... Auspicious... Wechen has eyes... I don't know Tarzan... Offending the county lord... Please spare your life!
Not surprisingly, the guards also fell to their knees, their faces full of fear, and they did not dare to make the slightest sound.
Su Chi and the others looked at Li Youxuan in front of them in surprise, and their eyes showed a little shock at the same time, about the rumors of this county lord, they have not heard much, she is the pavilion master of the Imperial Auction Treasure Pavilion, and the first day of the empire, she is not very old, and it is said that she has cultivated to the middle of the Yuan Dan realm.
They had only seen Li Youxuan at the auction, and they had not yet had close contact with her, but they didn't expect that the Brother Li in front of them would be dressed as the county lord, but before that, they didn't notice it at all, thinking of this, their faces suddenly showed a little shame.
Li Youxuan was able to take the initiative to reveal his identity, Lu Yu was also a little surprised, and at the same time a little moved, and then sighed and shook his head, this trip to the imperial capital, Li Youxuan did help him a lot, and he didn't know how to repay him in the future.
Compared with the shock in the hearts of Su Chi and the others, Wang Yongquan was already frightened, and sweat broke out on his forehead. With the support of Taiwei Wang Liwen, not to mention the servants like Huangpu Jingyun. Even the official department who is directly in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials should also be carefully weighed.
But Wang Yongquan never thought of it. The handsome boy in front of him turned out to be the royal county lord, no matter how strong the power behind him was, he didn't dare to confront the royal family, and at this time he realized that this time he really kicked the iron plate, and it was not surprising that he couldn't lose this old life.
Looking at Wang Yongquan, who was kneeling in front of him and groveling, Li Youxuan frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust suddenly flashed in the corners of his eyes. Said lightly: "Aren't you going to arrest someone?"
"Wechen didn't dare, Wechen didn't know that this son knew the county lord, and he misheard the slander for a while, and asked the county lord to spare his life. Wang Yongquan frowned and touched the ground, not daring to raise the slightest, and said tremblingly.
"Wang Yongquan, you are so bold, relying on the support of the Taiwei Mansion, you dare to look at the king's law. Offending the royal family is punishable. Li Youxuan's tone was flat, but there was a cold killing intent mixed with it, and he immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yu. He said slowly: "Brother Yu, what do you think should be done with him? Is it Ling Chi to death or is the car split?"
"The county lord spares his life, the county lord is gracious!" Wang Yongquan kowtowed. While pleading, it didn't take long. His forehead was already red, swollen and bleeding, and he looked a little terrifying.
Looking at the kowtowing springs. Lu Yu frowned slightly, and said lightly: "He also listens to slander, and he is impulsive, so he has no intention of offending the county lord, and he doesn't know the county lord before, so it is better to put him in prison and lock him up for a year and a half, so that he can reflect and reflect." ”
Lu Yu understood that although Wang Yongquan was wrong, he was not guilty of death, and Li Youxuan asked for his opinion, which was to give himself a step while shocking Wang Yongquan.
Li Youxuan's eyes flickered, he pondered for a while, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Today, for Brother Yu's sake, spare you from death, go back and lock yourself up for a year, reflect on it, if you commit it again, the two crimes will be punished together, and you will never be spared." ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the county lord, thank you for the kindness of Prince Yu. Wang Yongquan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, kowtowed and said gratefully.
"And that Wang Tong, I think he is very unpleasant, he dares to create rumors for no reason, punish him for giving you a piece of reflection, if you dare to brush my heart, once you find out, Ling Chi will be executed on the spot. Li Youxuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and his voice was cold.
Wang Yongquan raised his head slightly, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a solemn expression: "Yes, Weichen will definitely do it, and he will never dare to be negligent." ”
Li Youxuan waved his hand at him and said impatiently: "It's none of your business, step down." ”
"Yes, Wechen retired. After that, Wang Yongquan slowly retreated, and when he left the restaurant, he found that the official robe soaked by cold sweat had already been tightly attached to his back, and he looked quite embarrassed.
After Wang Yongquan left, Li Youxuan glanced at Lu Yu and the others who were shocked, his cheeks were slightly red, and he immediately smiled faintly at them, and said in a low voice: "I didn't want to reveal my identity, but if you fight, I'm afraid that most of the entire third floor will be destroyed." ”
Looking at the table seat that was destroyed just now, Lu Yu also scratched his head helplessly, looked at Su Chi, and said with a guilty face: "Brother Su, I'm sorry, the broken tables and chairs are all counted in my account." ”
"Hehe, Brother Yu, you are too outward, this little thing is still divided between each other. Su Chi said with a smile.
In the next time, although several people were still chatting like before, their words and deeds were much more restrained, and Su Chi and the three of them inadvertently revealed their respect for Li Youxuan, but Li Youxuan, who was quick and delicate, how could he not notice it, he could only sigh and shake his head, and his eyes looking at Lu Yu were also a little helpless.
For Li Youxuan's situation, Lu Yu is also helpless, because after all, she has a special identity, and it is the first time to have close contact with them, this situation is inevitable, and the three of them did not show the slightest pretentiousness, which is beyond the scope of Lu Yu's expectations, as long as there is an opportunity, everyone can contact a few more times, which can greatly reduce this estrangement.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, the sun had begun to set west, Lu Yu felt that it was not early, and was ready to say goodbye to them, although Li Youxuan and the others were a little reluctant, but they did not keep too much.
But Huangpu Jingyun didn't give up, because from the small talk just now, he learned that Lu Yu had been in the imperial capital for a month, but he didn't say hello to him, and now he was about to leave as soon as they met, which made him feel a little unhappy in his heart.
This point was indeed something that Lu Yu did not think through, because he didn't want to disturb them too much, but now he was caught by Huangpu Jingyun, and in desperation, he had to stay for another day and leave the imperial capital early tomorrow morning.
When the four of them heard that they would leave tomorrow, they suddenly came to their senses again, and Su Chi instructed his men to prepare a first-class guest room for several people, rest here for a night, and send Lu Yu away early tomorrow morning.
The setting sun slowly sank in the west, and the red light shot into the thick clouds, which looked extremely bright red, like a big fiery red hand, holding the entire imperial capital tightly inside, but this scene did not last long, and was swallowed away by the boundless twilight.
......
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and occasionally a few faint white clouds drifted by, but it did not affect the bright and bright moonlight pouring down, and the stars in the sky kept blinking, illuminating the entire Lujia Town as if it were day.
The summer heat has subsided a lot with the arrival of twilight, and the breeze blows, mixed with a little coolness, bringing bursts of refreshment, occasionally you can see the willows gently swaying with the wind, and the sound of dogs barking from time to time on the street, like a thunderbolt in the air, breaking the unusually quiet night.
Woohoo!
Suddenly, black shadows rushed through the silent street, accompanied by dozens of slight breaking winds, crushing dead leaves on the ground, splashing dust all over the ground, startling distant dogs, and waking up sleeping babies.
Dozens of figures walked in unison, and even their breathing rates were exactly the same, each with a black scarf masked, holding a thick knife in their right hand, and in the depths of those indifferent and cold eyes, there was a thick killing intent.
In that neat procession, no one spoke, and no one looked left and right, what they were chasing was the young man in black not far in front, the man's expression was indifferent, his eyes were gloomy, and his appearance was quite handsome, but looking at the direction he was going, it was the Lu family, one of the five major families in Lujia Town.
After a short rest, with his order, more than a dozen men in black jumped directly onto the high wall.
However, they never expected that as soon as they landed on the courtyard wall, there was a sudden sharp pain under their feet, like iron nails penetrating the soles of their feet, and then their feet began to numb, and quickly spread to their legs. (To be continued......)
