The man in black did not answer his words, but instead held Lu Zhizhang's guard hostage. When they saw that Zhu Yuewu was also held hostage, they were immediately at a loss.
They only said to Zhu Yue, "Master, what should we do now?"
After hearing their questions, Zhu Yuewu couldn't help but cursed in his heart that these people were a bunch of idiots.
Now that he is like this, what else can they do? And even if he really had a plan, it couldn't be that he was conspiring loudly in front of his enemies.
It's a pity that Zhu Yuewu didn't even have time to scold his subordinates for being stupid. Lu Zhizhang's secret guard had already turned the back of the knife against his neck to the blade against Zhu Yuewu's neck.
Zhu Yuewu only felt a stinging pain on his neck, followed by a cool moist feeling on his neck.
When his men saw this, they just shouted, "Second Young Master, your neck is bleeding!"
When Zhu Yuewu heard their yelling, his face turned green with anger. These idiots were really afraid of whatever they could do.
Why can't they learn from Lu Zhizhang's secret guards? Even if they could be half as calm and composed as someone else, they would be able to worry a lot less.
At the same time, the secret guard only said to the person who was holding Lu Zhizhang hostage, "Hurry up and release Mr. Hou, otherwise this time it will just bleed, and next time your master will be headless!"
Hearing this, the two people were immediately frightened.
Obviously, arresting Lu Zhizhang was a small matter, but losing Zhu Yuewu's life was a big deal. Therefore, when the two men saw that Zhu Yuewu was being controlled and could not even make a sound, they quickly made a decision.
One of them boldly said, "Okay! We will release Mr. Lu, but when we release Mr. Lu, you must also return our second young master to us!"
Facing the man's proposal, Lu Zhizhang's secret guard said expressionlessly, "Okay. We will use one, two, three as the signal, and on the count of three, we will hand the person back to the other party."
The two people had no other choice, so naturally they only agreed to Lu Zhizhang's proposal, and then Lu Zhizhang counted one, two, three in a low voice.
As the word "three" fell, both sides just pushed the hostages in their hands towards the other side.
The two sides took over each other's people, and Zhu Yuewu's nursing staff breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhu Yuewu was safe and sound.
However, Zhu Yuewu couldn't help but scold these people in his heart as a bunch of idiots. After all, the secret guard was so much better than them. There were so many people on the boat just now but they had no choice but to capture Lu Zhizhang's secret guard. Now the three of them are not lambs to be slaughtered on the boat.
On the contrary, if they control Lu Zhizhang, even if Lu Zhizhang's secret guards want to use the same legal system to force them to punish him, they can actually counterattack. Anyway, he believes that the secret guards do not want to hurt Lu Zhizhang, and as long as Lu Zhizhang is still in prison, With firm control in their hands, Lu Zhizhang's secret guards did not dare to do anything to him.
But now they have even played out the only card they can take out, so what should he do now? Zhu Yuewu felt very unhappy when he thought of this.
Ignoring people's greetings to him, Zhu Yuewu just looked at Lu Zhizhang coldly.
When Lu Zhizhang saw Zhu Yuewu looking at him, he couldn't help but smile easily and said, "How about it? Young Master, can you admit that you are more than a little worse than me?"
Zhu Yuewu said nothing.
Lu Zhizhang only asked Lu Zhizhang's secret guard, "How is it? How are the people outside cleaning up?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's inquiry, Lu Zhizhang's secret guard just whispered, "Go back to the master, I have already taken care of everyone."
Facing the secret guard's reply, Lu Zhizhang just nodded calmly, and then he turned to look at Zhu Yuewu and the others. The guardian beside Zhu Yuewu immediately stood in front of Zhu Yuewu and said, "What do you want to do? Didn't we say Are you handing over someone else? Now we have no grievances or grudges!"
Hearing the man's words, Lu Zhizhang seemed to be amused by the other person's novel ideas. Lu Zhizhang chuckled, and then he whispered, "You hand me over to my secret guards, and my secret guards hand over your master." Here you go, isn't our deal done?
? "ap.
"As for you saying that we have no grievances? Then you are wrong. How can we have no grievances? You don't look at who you are and who am I? Don't you just want to kill me? What? Now you actually dare to do it but not admit it?"
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, everyone remained silent at the moment. They just looked at Zhu Yuewu helplessly.
Zhu Yuewu also knew at this time that he had no way out, so he only tried to talk to Xi Ni: "What did Mr. Lu say? How could my people do something to you? You and I are related by marriage. We are just fighting with you." It’s a joke, why do you take it seriously?”
However, Lu Zhizhang chose not to give any face to Zhu Yuewu's He Xini.
"You are joking, but I am not!" After saying this, Lu Zhizhang only stared at Zhu Yuewu coldly. Zhu Yuewu could only put away the smile on his face when Lu Zhizhang glared at him.
"Then what do you want?" Zhu Yuewu asked.
Lu Zhizhang smiled and said, "What I want depends on what the second young master does."
Zhu Yuewu immediately asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Lu Zhizhang paused, and then whispered, "You have two ways to go now! One, I asked my secret guards to throw you into the river. We are now in the middle of the river, and the current is fast. If I throw you down now, You will definitely die."
Zhu Yuewu's face darkened when he heard Lu Zhizhang's words, but he also knew that what Lu Zhizhang said was the truth, so he just asked coldly, "What about the second way?"
"The second way is, I can ask the secret guard to take you to the boat. Although the boat is small, it can still bring you back to Yunzhou safely."
When hearing the second way, everyone will choose the second way. After all, the first way is only death, but the second way can survive.
Zhu Yuewu naturally wanted to choose the second method, but he also knew that even if he had to choose the second method, there would definitely be some price to pay for this second method.
Otherwise, Lu Zhizhang wouldn't be so kind as to leave a way for himself to survive.
Therefore, Zhu Yuewu just whispered, "Master Lu, please tell me the prerequisites for the second path."
Hearing that Zhu Yuewu knew how to ask this, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but smile and said, "You are really smart. My second method does have prerequisites."
"What conditions?" Zhu Yuewu continued to ask.
Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "I know that you, father and son, are not clean. And you have also been targeted."
"No one is destined to be able to tell you the truth about this matter, so instead of taking advantage of the enemy, I have a way that may allow you to cut off your tail and survive."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhu Yuewu was obviously also interested: "What method do you have for us to cut off our tails and survive?"
Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "You can tell me your sins over the years and everything. I can tell your Majesty everything first for you. After all, we are companions on the same ship, so your father may have to die, but I will intercede for you brothers at the appropriate time."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhu Yuewu obviously fell into deep thought.
He knew that his family was deteriorating. After all, he was involved in most of the dirty things. However, he still wanted to take a gamble. He just didn't expect Lu Zhizhang to speak so bluntly.
"It seems that if I don't agree with you, you will let me choose the first path?" Zhu Yuewu asked in a low voice.
Lu Zhizhang smiled slightly and said, "What do you think."
Zhu Yuewu didn't answer, he was already thinking about what to do next.
After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "I can promise you what you said."
"But I also have a request!"
"What request?" Lu Zhizhang asked.
Zhu Yuewu whispered, "I don't want you to let go of my brothers. They all deserve to die. I don't want to trade my chance for their lives."
Lu Zhizhang said, "But I can't plead for you alone. How smart is your Majesty? He will think that you and I are colluding. When the time comes, I won't be able to plead for you.
I might also capsize with you in the gutter. I won't do this kind of loss-making business. "
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhu Yuewu only said, "You don't have to plead for any of us. I will arrange my funeral. But I hope that when Your Majesty comes to inspect our family's property, the inspector will be you or your friend. You Can you help me seize fewer assets?"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, Lu Zhizhang naturally understood Zhu Yuewu's plan.
Obviously, this kid now heard that the building was about to collapse and realized that his family had no other way out, so he now wanted to find a way out for himself.
Although this boy's behavior was despicable, those who knew the current affairs were heroes, and he liked people who knew the current affairs very much.
Therefore, Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "That's natural."
When Zhu Yuewu saw that Lu Zhizhang agreed to his request, he naturally no longer concealed his family's situation. He just told Lu Zhizhang all the evil things his family had done, and he also Lu Zhizhang promised to provide evidence for Lu Zhizhang when necessary.
After the two negotiated all the conditions, Lu Zhizhang kept his word. He only put Zhu Yuewu on the small boat. However, the two guards who were with Zhu Yuewu just now were thrown into the water by Lu Zhizhang's secret guards, and this request was what Zhu Yuewu meant. After all, these guards were not completely loyal to Zhu Yuewu. If they were not They worked it out, and there was a good chance they would tell their fathers what they heard on the ship.
If his father finds out that he has betrayed him, don't think too much. The first thing his good father will do is to cut him into pieces. He doesn't think his father can show mercy to him.
After all, after so many years of experience, he could see that his father might never have thought about letting him rise to the top.
