Lu's shop, backyard hall.
Lu Tong is waiting for the results of the action. At this point, he and Lu Xuan are already hostile and have no relationship anymore.
In Lu Tong's eyes, what Lu Xuan did was completely unlike the behavior of a patriarch of a big family. Lu Kang used to be the patriarch of the Lu family. After Lu Xuan came to power, the power of the Lu family was transferred to Lu Xuan's hands.
Lu Xuan is the new helmsman of the Lu family.
However, Lu Tong was very dissatisfied that Lu Xuan did not consider the Lu family and was just a pariah with no connection.
Therefore, Lu Tong also insisted on becoming Lu Xuan's enemy.
Lu Tong felt a little irritable. He was worried that something would go wrong when dealing with Lu Xuan this time. After all, Lu Xuan was very cunning, but at this point, Lu Tong couldn't retreat. Otherwise, how can the Lu family gain a foothold if the main Lu family gives in to Lu Xuan?
Lu Tong stood up and walked back and forth, glancing outside the hall from time to time.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
Lu Tong followed the sound and saw Lu Dashan coming back, and asked urgently: "How is the situation?"
Lu Dashan looked horrified and reported uneasily: "Shopkeeper, all the people we sent out have been arrested. Everyone has been sent to the government. In addition, all the famous people hired by the families have been arrested. "
Lu Tong's heart skipped a beat.
Looks a little panicked.
Lu Tong's mouth went dry for a while, and he felt even more desperate inside.
Lu Dashan said in a panic: "Shopkeeper, we have dealt with Lu Xuan, and I am afraid that Lu Xuan will arrange someone to deal with us. If there was no conflict between the two parties before, that's it. Now that there is a conflict, it will be different."
Lu Tong scolded: "After all, I am the elder of the Lu family and Lu Xuan's uncle. Even if he goes too far, will he dare to arrest me?"
Lu Dashan's cheeks twitched.
Lu Tong's expression kept changing. He thought for a moment and then ordered: "Go and prepare. Let's leave Shu County. All the food here will be temporarily sealed."
"Here!"
Lu Dashan breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and prepared to make arrangements, but as soon as he took two steps, a store waiter came in and said in a panic: "Shopkeeper Lu, something bad has happened. Our store is surrounded, and Lu Xuan is here with his people."
Lu Tong's face fell instantly and he said urgently: "Let's go out through the back door. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave."
He stood up hastily to leave.
"Why are we leaving? I just want to leave now. Don't you think it's too late?"
Lu Xuan's voice came from outside the hall.
Lu Tong's body froze, and the look on his face was extremely panicked. Fortunately, Lu Tong was also a person who had experienced great battles. He immediately adjusted his mentality and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Lu Xuan came in stride.
Lu Xuan said: "Shopkeeper Lu, where are you going?"
Lu Tongpi gave a fake smile and asked, "Prefect Lu, what's the matter with you?"
Lu Xuan stared at Lu Tong meaningfully and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu arranged for people to cause trouble for me and slander me, so why don't you dare to admit it? After all, you are the elder of the Lu family, why do you dare to do so? ?”
Lu Tong said: "Prefect Lu, I have not done such a thing."
Lu Xuan sat down in the hall and calmly said: "You said you didn't do it, but Gu Lie, Wei Shan and Yu Xiang have all been recruited. They all said that you planned this incident. They It’s just execution.”
Lu Tong's expression changed drastically.
Damn it!
He didn't expose anyone else, but Gu Lie and others actually pushed him out first, all shirking the responsibility on him. Even though he was involved, other people were also involved, and the specific plan was drawn up by Yu Xiang.
If you are unkind, you cannot blame me for being unjust.
Lu Tong said loudly: "Prefect Lu arranged for people to go to the shops to destroy the place and let the scholars slander you for competing for profits with the people. I participated. However, Wei Shan, Gu Lie and Yu Xiang also participated, and I was not the only one. .”
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright and he asked: "So, you admit it?"
"Admitted it."
Lu Tong answered with a sad face.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, looking pitiful, and said loudly: "Prefect Lu, I am your uncle. I hugged you when you were young, and I taught you how to read and write. This time, uncle It’s wrong, we shouldn’t raise prices.”
"I was also bewitched by Gu Lie and others, and was carried away by the benefits. Moreover, what I did was not for my own selfish reasons. I wanted to make money for the Lu family."
"That's why they are driving up prices."
"No matter what, we are a family. The Gu family, the Yu family, and the Wei family are all outsiders. We are one. We are all prosperous and we all suffer. You take down Gu Lie, Wei Shan, and Yu Xiang, execute them, and show them to the outside world. There is an explanation.”
Lu Tong said anxiously: "As for me, just say that you have already dealt with the Lu family. After a long time, no one will take care of them anymore."
Lu Xuan sneered and said mockingly: "Have you ever regarded me as one of your own?"
Lu Tong's cheeks twitched. He could hear the murderous intent in Lu Xuan's words, and he felt unhappy and even more filled with hatred. However, his strong desire to survive forced him to choose to compromise.
Lu Tong said again: "Lu Xuan, the Lu family makes money by taking money from the untouchables, and ultimately it will be used to support you."
Seeing Lu Tong's appearance, Lu Xuan lost his mind to speak.
In this case, it makes no sense.
Lu Xuan asked: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Lu Tong's expression froze. He glanced at Lu Xuan again and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Xuan said: "Of course, the punishment will be based on the crime. Kill him if he deserves it."
"how dare you?"
Lu Tong roared hysterically.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was unwilling to let him go, he said loudly: "Lu Xuan, I am Lu Tong, and I am your uncle. For the sake of a mere untouchable, you deal with your relatives and your uncle. You can only love those who love and hate those who hate you." Hurry up, it will only make the whole Lu family disappointed in you, and the Lu family will completely stand against you."
Lu Xuan confidently said: "Do you think the Lu family will fall out with me for the sake of the dead? You are too confident. Of course, I am not afraid even if we are enemies."
"Someone, take it away."
Lu Xuan gave the order directly.
Lu Tong roared and rushed towards Lu Xuan like crazy. But as soon as he rushed out, he was pushed to the ground.
Lu Dashan was also captured.
Lu Xuan sealed up the Lu family's shop and confiscated all the money before taking his people back to the prefect's mansion.
When Lu Xuan returned home, Zhang Zhao came.
Zhang Zhao reported: "Lord, all the shops of the Gu family, the Yu family, and the Wei family have been sealed, and all the materials have been sealed. Now, Gu Lie, Yu Xiang, and Wei Shan have been brought back, but these people have not confessed yet. Very strict mouth."
Lu Xuan said: "Bring people in."
"Here!"
Zhang Zhao gave the order.
After a while, Gu Lie, Yu Xiang and Wei Shan entered the hall.
Gu Lie was even more excited and said loudly, "Lu Xuan, you are sealing up my Gu family's shop. You are so domineering and arrogant. The Gu family will not let it go."
Yu Xiang threatened: "Prefect Lu is acting rebelliously. If the news gets out, no one will do business in Lujiang County anymore."
Wei Shan said: "Our four major families came to do business so that the people of Lujiang County can eat food. We have paid so much, and now Governor Lu has crossed the river and demolished the bridge to arrest us. Our four major families will not admit it. They will definitely Will take revenge."
Three people, aggressive.
The tone was strong.
If Lu Xuan wants to deal with them, he will bear the consequences of being targeted by the four major families.
