Chapter 435 Jiang Li's Threat
Facing Lu Wenhan's gloomy gaze, Jiang Yu didn't care at all. Instead, he calmly looked at the people in brocade clothes behind him and said calmly: "Go and search the Lu Mansion. Remember, be gentle with your movements. Hou Mansion The things on it are valuable, so don’t break them.”
"yes!"
All the royal guards bowed respectfully, raised their feet and rushed into the inner courtyard. Lu Wenhan stood quietly in front of Jiang Wei, his expression calm.
"Who dares!"
A group of armor-clad private soldiers of the Lu family stepped forward and intercepted a group of Jinyi guards. The swords in their hands were unsheathed, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Jiang Wei didn't seem to be surprised. He looked at Lu Wenhan and said, "Master Hou, I, the Jin Yiwei, are handling the case. The imperial authority has authorized us to kill first and report later. Is the Lu family planning to rebel?"
"hehe!"
Lu Wenhan smiled sarcastically and said calmly: "For generations, my Lu family has been dedicated to serving the country, and I am even more loyal to the court and your majesty."
"I can't bear the charge of rebellion."
"However, the Lu Mansion is the founding prince's mansion, and it has a gate plaque granted by Taizu. We cannot allow any young man to act arrogantly in our house!"
"Without His Majesty's decree, no one has the right to search my Lu Mansion!"
Seeing that Lu Wenhan refused to give in, Jiang Wei's face gradually darkened, and he said calmly: "Master Lu, my Jin Yiwei killed someone in your house today, and no one will touch us."
"Because this is the power of my Jin Yiwei."
"But if someone from my Jin Yiwei dies in the Lu Mansion today, no one can save the Lu Mansion, because since the establishment of our Jin Yiwei until now, no one dares to challenge my Jin Yiwei or the imperial power!"
Listening to Jiang Wei's threatening words, Lu Wenhan's face was uglier than eating shit. As he said, if the Jin Yiwei team was really left today, it would give King Yong an excuse to invade the Lu Mansion.
"I belong to the Jinyi Guards, and within three breaths, anyone who blocks his path will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
More than a dozen men in uniforms responded with a stern voice. Even though there were more than a hundred armored soldiers blocking them in front of them, there was no fear on their faces.
"Step aside!"
"Let them search!"
Lu Wenhan took a deep breath and said coldly: "However, if the Jin Yiwei can't find out the reason today, I will definitely go to the capital to ask your Majesty for an explanation!"
"hehe!"
Jiang Wei smiled faintly and waved his hand, and more than ten Jinyi guards rushed into the Lu Mansion.
Just as Jiang Wei had ordered before, the Jin Yiwei conducted a very gentle search. Not only did they not injure anyone from the Lu family, but they also did not cause any damage. They just turned around in a circle and began to close the team.
"Withdraw!"
Jiang Wei glanced at Lu Wenhan meaningfully, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to withdraw the team. Lu Wenhan watched all this coldly, with a gloomy expression, but said nothing!
"Master Hou!"
"Send someone to check whether Jin Yiwei did anything in the house just now."
"yes!"
…
Changyan County Prefecture.
After Jiang Wei came to the main hall, he stood respectfully in front of Ning Fan and explained everything about the Lu Mansion.
"Um!"
"Is the matter settled?"
"Lord, with this alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring down the Lu family. How can I stop the world from talking about Youyou?"
"Not urgent!"
Ning Fan smiled and said calmly: "I have already made a plan, and we can start taking action tonight."
"yes!"
"Your Highness, now that General Chen is leading the white-robed army to the north, we have no one available except the Jinyi guards gathered in Jiangbei."
"Although the people of the Lu family have been captured now, the soldiers in the two counties may not listen to our orders!"
"Would it be risky to act like this?"
Hearing Wei Jin's question, Ning Fan shook his head and said softly: "If I don't transfer the white-robed army, the Lu family will definitely not dare to act rashly. How can it be exposed?"
"Wei Jin, have all the manpower been mobilized?"
"Back to Your Highness, the entire area north of Jiangdong and east of the Yangtze River, except for the brothers who are on missions, have been transferred here. There are more than a thousand people in total."
"Now they are all hidden near Changyan."
"good!"
Ning Fan also had a calm smile on his face. He picked up a pen and wrote a few notes. He walked to the cage hanging next to him and took out the dove.
"Your Highness, a secret decree has been sent from the capital."
"explain!"
"Granting you the right to act cheaply!"
"I really want to doze off, so my father sent me a pillow!"
Ning Fan looked surprised at first, then said with a smile: "In this case, the plan has to change!"
"How to change?"
…
Lu family.
In a secret hall, except for the main members of the direct lineage of the Lu family, there was no one else in the hall. Even the old housekeeper, who had always been favored by the Lu family, was isolated this time.
As figures came one after another, Lu Wenhan also spoke leisurely.
"Uncles!"
"Now our Lu family is like an arrow on the string, we have to shoot!"
"King Yong has set his sights on us. I'm afraid there's an order from the imperial court behind it. Let's discuss it!"
Lu Wenhan looked around and saw that all the direct descendants in the mansion had been kidnapped by King Yong. However, these adults gathered in the main hall were the talkers in the Lu mansion.
"Wenhan, has things really come to this point?"
"Third uncle, wait, there is no way out!"
Lu Wenhan also had a look of emotion on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Prince Yong first used the Han Dynasty grain business to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, cutting off the lifeline of my Lu family. From then on, my Lu family has no leverage to influence the court."
"Now, he personally led the troops northward, first pulling out all the people of my Lu family in Changyan and Beihe counties, and then led the army into Changyan."
"They have already attacked the descendants of my Lu family."
"The next step is to put the butcher knife on the neck of my Lu family!"
Hearing Lu Wenhan's words, the elders also looked gloomy. An old man with gray hair and eyebrows had a sharp light in his eyes: "Since you can't bear it anymore, there is no need to bear it anymore. My Lu family has been planning for so many years from generation to generation. Now I think the time is ripe!"
"What do you mean, elders?"
"Start a rebellion!"
"Well, you have said so much, then start a rebellion."
"But do you have a detailed plan?"
Hearing the old man's question, everyone once again cast their eyes on Lu Wenhan.
"I have already contacted Mobei. As long as my Lu family starts an uprising, the army of Mobei will invade the border in an instant."
"By then, the Zhenbei Army of Duke Jingguo will be contained by it. In this way, the Zhenguo Army will need to guard Donghuai, and the court will have no soldiers to use. Except for the tens of thousands of imperial guards in the capital, no one can stop the pace of my Lu family."
"My Lu family is not short of money and food, and has been operating in Jiangbei and Changyan for many years. As long as we make a call, countless people will respond."
"As long as we control the two counties, beware of the court, and take it slowly, we can gain a firm foothold in Jiangbei!"
