Chapter 304: All Pulled into the Chariot
The other district elders looked at each other, they just knew something was wrong, but they didn't quite know what was going on.
Zhao Qiang's previous contact was also selective, pretending to be an envoy, this kind of thing can't make too much trouble, but it can't be too small, so he only contacted five regional elders.
The others, who had just received the news and only knew that four regional elders had died, hurried over. What exactly happened, they don't know.
At this moment, it was a bit surprising to see Du Yu and Zhao Lu, the two enemies, actually standing together. But it can also be seen that something is indeed wrong!
Otherwise, these two enemies of life and death would never stand together.
"Here's the thing......"
Du Yu didn't let Zhao Lu speak, he told Zhao Lu what had happened from front to back, according to what he had discussed with Zhao Lu.
Zhao Qiang was exiled by the prince, escaped on the way, pretended to be the prince's envoy, and deceived several regional elders. And this group of regional elders had long had a disagreement with Qi Wang, and was reported by a group of people around them...... Among them, the most convincing should be Xiao Zheng, the son of Elder Zheng of Guqin City, who reported to his father.
If it wasn't true, how could a son report his father?
The group of regional elders looked at each other, all of them a little speechless, and understood why they had been called.
This is to give them a testimony together!
I have the intention to refuse, but the problem is ...... The evidence on Du Yu and Zhao Lu's side is conclusive.
Zhao Qiang's witness is still there, and he is still alive and well.
It is enough to prove that this guy did this thing by pretending to be the envoy of King Qi.
As for the fact that several other regional elders secretly betrayed the prince, it would be a matter of opinion.
None of the regional elders present here are fuel-efficient lamps, they are all old foxes. You can see what's going on almost at a glance.
It's just that they were a little surprised that Du Yu and Zhao Lu, the two so-called "enemies", could secretly unite together...... It's no wonder that Elder Zheng's group of people suffered a big loss and took their lives in.
If they were here, I'm afraid it would be the same fate!
"Elder Zhao is from the side of the prince, how can he betray?"
"That is, Elder Zhao's loyalty can be learned!"
"This Zhao Qiang is simply a heinous crime, if you have to send him to the prince for trial, I really want to slap him to death!"
"Hey, I thought that Old Man Zheng was good before, but I didn't expect to know people and faces, but I didn't know my heart......"
A group of regional elders, true and false, expressed their positions one after another.
Elder Zheng and several people are already dead, who will really open his eyes for him?
Even his own son sent a lot of evidence of his father's betrayal and embezzlement. What else can they say?
Now this group of regional elders didn't even care about what was going on between Du Yu and Zhao Lu, they only cared about one thing!
Zhao Lu smiled, looked at this group of regional elders, and said, "Please come over today, in fact, there is one more thing to discuss with you. ”
Elder Weng from Phoenix City said, "Elder Zhao doesn't need to be polite, if you have something to say, everyone is in the same spirit, they are all brothers and sisters in the same camp!"
"Yes, if Elder Zhao has anything, just say it. ”
Everyone else also smiled and looked at Zhao Lu with an encouraging expression.
Zhao Lu said: "Guqin City, Chess City, Suzhou City and Hui City...... The regional elders of these four first-level main cities colluded with the prince to rebel and try to do wrongful things, and now they have been punished. However, as the saying goes, a country cannot be left without an owner for a day! Although we are only a first-class main city, we have a large population under our jurisdiction and countless confidential affairs of all kinds. So, I would like to ask for a council of elders. But because Elder Du and I were involved. Therefore, it is not suitable to participate in this meeting. ”
Du Yu nodded expressionlessly on the side, expressing his agreement with Zhao Lu's words.
Zhao Lu continued: "There are still thirty elders here, and far more than half of them admit defeat, so this meeting can be convened. Study how to manage these four first-class cities. As for me, I have a little suggestion...... Before this matter is thoroughly investigated, before the prince sends someone over, these four cities, it is better to form a temporary committee of thirty elders here, and temporarily entrust them. ”
Call!
Although she had already guessed what Zhao Lu meant, she said it herself, and the thirty elders present still couldn't help but breathe a little short.
Four main cities, under the jurisdiction of the second and third level of the city countless!
Every day will be a truly astronomical amount.
There are unimaginably huge interests hidden in this, and these people here are all real regional elders, and they know better than anyone else in their hearts.
"This ...... Is it suitable?" Elder Weng looked at Zhao Lu and asked, "Do we want to ask the prince first?"
Zhao Lu shook his head: "The prince is already busy enough, how can he have the energy to take care of our affairs? I believe that the prince will also be able to understand. Let's not trouble the prince because we haven't done a good job. When the time comes, I will go and tell the prince!"
Elder Weng nodded with a heavy face: "What Elder Zhao said is that when we are a group of people, we must also take responsibility when we should take responsibility!"
"Yes, we can't let the situation in those four cities go haywire!"
"Yes, we have to hurry up and come up with a solution. ”
"The four regional elders betrayed, are their subordinates innocent? I think this matter must be investigated quickly!"
"Strict investigation!"
"No one who is suspected must be spared!"
"We have to give the prince an explanation!"
Zhao Lu sat there, her face solemn, but in her heart, she smiled with satisfaction.
It's a kind of wisdom that comes with insight into human nature.
Du Yu was also full of emotion in his heart, he killed four regional elders, and actually attracted thirty of them back.
Moreover, these thirty elders were firmly tied to their chariots.
These old foxes are still willing to eat one by one......
Zhao Lu is still the same Zhao Lu back then, so smart!
Zhao Qiang over there was completely dumbfounded, he understood that he was completely finished.
In front of him, people directly arranged this matter clearly. But on the contrary, he knew it very well in his heart, even if he told King Qi these things as they were...... If King Qi is sure.
That's also pointless!
Do you say that Zhao Lu colluded with Bai Muye?
What did she do?
A photo?
Don't make a fuss, what era is this?
Unless you can get the full video of Zhao Lu's conspiracy with Bai Muye.
But even this kind of video is not impossible to fake.
It's just that if it's fake, it can be found out after all.
So, he's finished.
At this time, Zhao Qiang only had one thought left in his mind: I can't continue to live! I resolutely can't give this slut a chance to reverse right and wrong!
Thinking in his heart, Zhao Qiang suddenly reversed the blood veins of his body, and in the process of breaking the meridians, a trace of strength finally appeared in his body.
Then, he rushed towards Zhao Lu and rushed madly.
"Slut, I'll kill you!"
Burst!
Elder Weng, who was sitting not far from him, punched Zhao Qiang's heart through with a casual punch.
Elder Weng said lightly: "Zhao Qiang died without repentance, and he actually wanted to try to attack Elder Zhao, this kind of person, kill it." Please testify for me, the elders!"
Living people, after all, are still prone to problems.
Only the dead are safest.
Since these thirty elders accepted Zhao Lu's suggestion and swallowed that earth-shattering benefit, they had to show their sincerity.
Killing Zhao Qiang and completely standing in the same camp as Zhao Lu is their sincerity.
"This person is innocent of death, and he almost injured Elder Zhao!"
"Yes, it's really damn it! Dare to pretend to be the prince's envoy, and Elder Zhao will be merciful, replace us, and kill him on the spot!"
"When we go back, we will also jointly write to the prince......"
Zhao Qiang fell to the ground, his eyes open, and he looked blankly at the ceiling above his head.
Perfect plan, isn't it?
What about stealing an emissary's identity?
The envoy's order is true, who dares to continue to go to the prince to verify this matter?
Then the five elders, including Du Yu, were also quite cooperative.
Because he said that after killing Zhao Lu, he would find a way to leave Bai Yue City without an elder for a long time!
When the time comes, Baiyue City will be the one of these five elders!
As a result, the same methods were used on him.
It's like when he first met, he slapped Zhao Lu and kicked her.
All of this, this woman came back in one go.
A woman with a careful eye and a strong eye...... Can't mess with.
The thirty regional elders held a meeting in the large conference room of Elder Zheng's manor.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Lu and Du Yu came out, got on Bai Muye's flying machine, and left here. came to Du Yu's small manor in Guqin City.
It is said to be a small manor, covering an area of dozens of acres.
There are small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.
In the room, Du Yu sent someone to make tea for the two of them personally.
I didn't ask Bai Muye's identity again.
On the contrary, it was Zhao Lu who recounted everything to Bai Muye in detail.
After Bai Muye listened, he could only give Zhao Lu a thumbs up.
"Awesome!"
Zhao Lu smiled slightly, there was not much smugness on his face, and said lightly: "After this incident, the status of the entire Feixian in the eyes of the prince will also plummet." ”
"Yes, one after another, no one else would like this kind of place. Du Yu sighed on the side, also a little melancholy.
Originally, he was an elder in Feixian as a regional elder, except for the local ones, nine times out of ten, the outsiders were all allocated.
As a result, in such a short period of time, there have been accidents one after another, and if the above can still like them here, it will be called hell.
"Whether he likes it or not, you just have to do your own thing. Bai Muye said.
Du Yu glanced at Bai Muye, and felt even more strange in his heart.
Before, he almost concluded that this person was the legendary genius boy.
But now listening to him, he is a little confused again.
The hatred between him and Zhao Lu is actually different from the hatred that normal people understand. It can only be said that Zhao Lu can't let go of an incident that happened back then, and then ...... with him Hate because of love.
But the person in front of him should be Bai Muye, between him and the prince, it must be a genuine hatred!
Otherwise, why did the prince want to kill him?
Then why did he mention the prince in a flat tone, as if there was no hatred at all?
Or is this guy not Bai Muye?
"Drink tea. Du Yu put a cup of tea in front of Bai Muye.
Bai Muye nodded, looked at him and said, "Elder Du is also a person of temperament. ”
"Ahh Du Yu laughed.
Bai Muye said: "Whether it's an old fox or not, it doesn't matter, people have lived for more years, they must be smarter." I look at people, only by his choices at the critical moment. ”
Zhao Lu's face turned slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "It's not what you think!"
Bai Muye waved his hand: "There are men who are willing to stand up at that time, regardless of their lives, it's not what I think, what else can it be?"
Du Yu lowered his head slightly and became silent.
Zhao Lu was stunned for a moment, then picked up the teacup in front of him and blew it gently.
Bai Muye drank the tea in the small cup in one gulp, stood up and said, "Now that it's okay, I should go back too." ”
"Okay, I'm really sorry to delay my son for so long. Zhao Lu stood up and said softly.
"Between you and me, don't say these polite words. Bai Muye said, looked at Zhao Lu and said, "You are here, handle this matter with Elder Du and then go back." Your Baiyue City, I think you need to learn more from Elder Du! Look at your poor people, you can't even get a spirit bead!"
Zhao Lu rolled her eyes.
Du Yu showed a thoughtful look.
Afterwards, the two of them sent Bai Muye away together, watching the flying machine quickly break through the air.
The remaining two were speechless.
After a long time, Du Yu asked, "Birthday Gang ......?"
"It's not me!" Zhao Lu replied coldly.
"I didn't mean that, okay...... I do want to be sure. Du Yu let out a long breath, and then looked at Zhao Lu: "You have had such a hard time all these years, why do you never say a word to me?"
"I hate to stab you to death, what do I want to tell you?" Zhao Lu glared at him with red eyes, turned around and walked into the room.
Du Yu scratched his head, followed along, and shouted behind Zhao Lu: "Lu ......"
Zhao Lu stopped, didn't look back, and didn't respond.
Du Yu said with a sincere face: "Let's reconcile, what happened back then, I did it wrong, I admit to you now, I was really scared at that time, I was scared to death! The boss said that I should run away quickly, leave him alone, I ...... In my heart, I wanted to take him with me, but I was really afraid, I was cowardly, I was cowardly, I was afraid of death...... The boss's death is my fault. ”
Tears fell from the corners of Zhao Lu's eyes like beads with broken threads, turned around slowly, and said softly: "You know, why do I hate you for so many years?"
"You know, you like the Boss. Du Yu said in a low voice.
"Yes, I like the boss, but you are wrong, the reason why I refuse to forgive you, and even hate you, is not because I like him. It's because you obviously did something wrong, and you gave up on him because of cowardice, why don't you admit it?"
Zhao Lu looked at him: "Actually, as long as you admit to me at that time, say what you just said, how can I talk to you? At that time, in that situation, you couldn't take the boss away at all, and you were right to escape alone! But what about you? You didn't admit it at all, you said you didn't know anything." You say that the boss's death is his own fault...... Even later, I was bullied, you know it, right?"
Du Yu looked at Zhao Lu: "Do you think that I am a ...... who is far away from Feixian People who aren't even elders might know?"
Du Yu sighed: "I didn't know those things at all, when I knew that you were bullied, and then you were valued by the prince, and then your two elder brothers...... How long will that be in the future?"
Zhao Lu said in a low voice: "I believe you, just rush that you can make a move for me without hesitation today, I will believe you." Yes, I betrayed the prince, Du Yu, you regret it now, in fact, it's still too late, after all, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, you just need to change a rhetoric casually......"
Du Yu shook his head slightly and pointed to the bench on the side.
Zhao Lu sat down, Du Yu sat at the other end, and muttered: "That incident back then was the biggest knot in my life. It's not that you can't forgive me, actually, I can't forgive myself. So much so that I went around telling my colleagues and friends that there was a deep hatred between you and me...... Hey, but actually, with such a big hatred, who has really targeted whom?"
He sighed and said, "I don't know how happy I am in my heart when you come to Feixian, but I have spoken too much over the years, where do I have the face to find you?" If it weren't for this incident that happened today, I'm afraid I would still hold it...... will be high up as my regional elder. ”
"But it wasn't until the moment you were bullied that I suddenly realized that I couldn't accept it. Even if you are broken, I don't want you to be wronged in the slightest. ”
"So when I made a move, where did I think of what to do later?"
When Du Yu said this, he couldn't help laughing: "However, you are still the little deer I knew back then! I seem to have returned to the days when I was only responsible for fighting with the boss, and you ...... Responsible for making suggestions. ”
Zhao Lu's face also showed a faint glow, as if returning to the carefree days of the year.
"Who can say if you betray or not? We are all long past that black and white age. We are just a group of part-time workers, working for the prince is a part-time job, working for the emperor is also a part-time job, there is no difference. Therefore, it is your freedom to choose who to cooperate with and how to do it. We weren't cultivated by anyone. Although we took a lot of his resources, we also paid a lot!"
Zhao Lu looked at him: "Do you really think so?"
Du Yu nodded.
"Then what if one day, I stand on the opposite side of the prince?" Zhao Lu asked lightly.
Du Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you are willing to reconcile with me and no longer care about the incident with me, even if you really stand on the opposite side of the prince one day, it's a big deal...... I'll die with you. ”
Zhao Lu nodded lightly: "Okay, remember what you said, but ...... I'll have to think about it!"
Du Yu was speechless: "Is it okay to give a quasi-word?"
"How can a girl's anger be so easy to quell?" Zhao Lu snorted, "Didn't I hear my son-in-law say, I'm so poor that I don't even have a spirit bead?"
Du Yu had a bitter face: "I don't have any money now...... It's easy to save for so many years, and I'm ready to pat the prince's ass, but I was robbed of all my brains......"
"You deserve it!"
"Hey, I don't think there's anything of you in there!"
"I'm not as valuable as yours when I give them. ”
"Forget it, go back, I'll find a way to get you a few, just take it as a ...... You've rushed into the Great Grandmaster's gift!"
"That's pretty much it. Zhao Lu laughed happily.
She is very satisfied with her current life.
Back then, the knot in her heart was untied, there was a responsible master behind her, and there was a man by her side who was willing to take action for her.
The so-called happiness, this should be it, right?
It was as if she had gone back to the old days.
