After Zhang Sheng left, he quickly brought a group of government officials to the gate of Lu Mansion. If you look carefully, you can find that these government officials who were summoned all work in the Ministry of Works.
In this way, he was already demonstrating to Lu Mansion.
If I randomly found a few men to smash your door, it might still be called a family dispute, but if the Ministry of Industry takes action, it is a different story.
At the very least, in the eyes of outsiders, this is once again the palace standing behind the Gu family.
Zhang Sheng pointed to Lu's door and ordered: "Everyone, please help me break down this door."
"yes!"
The officials from the Ministry of Industry behind him heard Zhang Sheng's words and agreed in unison. They quickly picked up the tools they brought and then walked towards the gate of Lu Mansion.
Of course they wouldn't care so much. When Zhang Sheng came to the door, he went directly to their Lord Shangshu.
You know, during the civil strife in Kyoto, only the Minister of the Ministry of Works among the six ministers was safe and sound, which shows how shrewd he was in that battle.
After hearing Zhang Sheng's request, the Minister of Industry immediately sent someone over without saying a word, and then came to the gate of Lu Mansion.
Therefore, these government officials were not so much listening to Gu Xiaotian's instructions as they were asked to do so by the Minister of Industry.
The government officials rushed forward, and the door of Lu Mansion finally opened. A middle-aged man quickly emerged from the door with a flattering smile. After asking several guards to temporarily stop the government officials, he ran down all the way. He walked up the steps and came to the carriage and said flatteringly: "Master Gu, there were some things delayed at home just now. I couldn't even come to greet you. Please don't take it to heart, Master Gu. Please calm down, don't talk to us." You can't get through this gate."
Gu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing while sitting in the carriage.
Not to mention the Lu family, all the people in Kyoto should know about his coming. How come this person only knows that he has just arrived?
Gu Xiaotian opened the car curtain, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked, "What do you call him?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Lu Changqing."
Gu Xiaotian snorted and said with a smile: "The second in command of the Lu family is considered a figure."
Lu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
What does it mean to be considered a person?
His name, Lu Changqing, would be resounding on any street in Kyoto.
However, Lu Changqing still smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, why don't you stop trying to get through our gate? Tea is prepared inside, do you want me to show you your respect?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head, said nothing, and looked at Zhang Sheng aside.
Zhang Sheng understood immediately and quickly said: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Break it down for me!"
Lu Changqing was startled, not expecting this result at all.
They say you should never hit someone with a smiling face. How come after all the good things you say to me like this, the other party still wants to tear down the door?
Lu Changqing hurriedly said: "Sir, please be merciful! If you want to go through the door, Mrs. Lu is willing to welcome you, but you have to apologize to me, Mrs. Lu."
As mentioned above, it was Lu Changqing who was good at making decisions. They had discussed before that no matter what happened, the door would not be opened to Gu Xiaotian. However, Lu Changqing could see the current situation very clearly. If the door was not opened, Gu Xiaotian would probably The door would really be smashed to pieces, and then Lu's face would be completely lost.
But what happened next was the result of Lu's brief discussion.
It's not impossible to enter my Lu family's door, but you have to apologize and bow your head and submit.
Otherwise, everyone in Kyoto will think that I, Mr. Lu, am a weakling.
Gu Xiaotian got off the carriage, looked at Lu Changqing, and asked curiously: "What did you just say?"
Lu Changqing gritted his teeth and repeated, "Your Excellency, you should apologize to me, Mrs. Lu."
Immediately, everyone froze in place.
Then, Zhang Sheng started to laugh.
Immediately afterwards, the government officials who were brought along also started laughing secretly.
Let Gu Xiaotian apologize to Lu. Is Lu Changqing's head broken?
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The Lu family colluded with the All-Martial Arts Association, but in the end they asked me to apologize to the Lu family. When did the second-in-command of the Lu family become so confused?"
Hearing the words "quanwuhui", many people who were watching the excitement became energetic.
They originally thought that the Lu family had just offended the imperial court or the Gu family somewhere, so they would be retaliated against, but it turned out to be something else.
Looking at the expressions of the people on the street, Lu Changqing also knew that at this time, he must be beaten to death and refused to admit it, so he could only say in a low voice: "Sir, you can eat randomly, but you must not talk nonsense. The Lu family is pure and innocent, and for the sake of the imperial court This kind of heart can be learned from the sun and the moon, how can it be said that it colludes with the All-Martial Arts Association?"
Gu Xiaotian looked at Lu Changqing's appearance with cold eyes and said in a low voice: "Lv Changqing, you know better than me what the Lu family is like."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, looked at the group of government officials, pointed at the door and said, "Tear it down."
After receiving the order, the government officials quickly picked up their tools and smashed the door.
Once, again, and again.
The whole long street trembled with the gate.
"Gu Xiaotian! Do you really want to quarrel with me, the Lu family, like this? You are just the head of the Gu family, you shouldn't have such great power!"
Lu Changqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed loudly.
Although internally, he and the head of the family, Lu Changxun, did not get along well, at this time, for the sake of Lu's face, everyone put aside their grudges and spoke to the outside world in unison.
Gu Xiaotian turned his head, looked at the angry Lu Changqing, and said with a smile: "That's what I want. If you don't accept it, you can go to the palace to find someone who can take care of things, and let him come and see whether this door should be Should it be smashed?"
"you……"
Lu Changqing felt anger in his chest, but he didn't say anything.
In the palace, the only people who can speak usefully are those three people.
But the relationship between Gu Xiaotian and those three people can be described as life and death. What's more, they, the Lu family, are just a second-rate family. They have to queue up to see Lord Shangshu, let alone His Majesty.
Gu Xiaotian folded his hands on his chest and stopped talking.
With a bang, the door collapsed.
Inside the Lu family, Lu Changxun's face became increasingly ugly as he heard the banging on the door outside.
Lu Renyi also looked livid.
"Master, do you still want to grit your teeth and persevere?"
Soon, discordant voices emerged within the family.
These people were forced to agree. At this moment, seeing the other party being so domineering, it is reasonable for them to feel timid.
"Coward, you can't survive this!"
Someone immediately cursed.
"Surrendering at this time is tantamount to death. Do you really think that Gu Xiaotian is a good person? He is a murderous devil!"
"If we surrender now, do you really think you can spend the rest of your life in prison safely? Stop daydreaming!"
"..."
After a while, the voice that wanted to give up was suppressed by others.
Lu Changxun coughed a few times, and everyone felt relieved. Then he turned to look at Lu Renyi and asked, "Renyi, what should we do next?"
Lu Renyi leaned back on the chair, thought for a while, and then said: "Father, I will let everyone from the Iron Armor Battalion come in first. Since Gu Xiaotian wants to fight, I will fight with him. Even if he is powerful, he is just Can one person really stop my armored battalion?"
Lu Renyi stood up, walked out of the main room, then came to the courtyard and whistled.
This whistle is the whistle for the assembly of the armored battalion.
The armored battalions jumped into the wall from outside the wall and came to Lu Renyi's side.
Lu Renyi ordered: "Get ready. Whoever can cut Gu Xiaotian will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. If he can take down Gu Xiaotian's head, I will give him whatever he wants, even if it is from heaven." I will pick all the stars for you myself!"
Gu Xiaotian stood in front of the gate, looked at the empty gate, and said calmly: "This is suitable."
Then, he crossed the threshold with light steps and walked in.
Not long after he stepped into the gate of the Lu family, Zhang Sheng quickened his pace and came to Gu Xiaotian, whispering: "The armored battalions outside have come in, so they should be ambushing them there."
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I want to ambush you as you like, but I want to see how much this armored battalion weighs."
Not long after walking, someone soon stopped Gu Xiaotian again.
Looking at the face of the person in front of him, he looked somewhat similar to Lu Changqing.
It was the head of the Lu family, Lu Changxun.
Lu Changxun cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Gu, your door has been smashed, and your arrogance should have been reduced a lot. Please ask me one more question, why did Master Gu come to my Lu family today?"
"Pooh."
Gu Xiaotian did not answer the question, but spitted at Lu Changxun's feet.
Lu Changxun frowned slightly, but the people who came out with Lu Changxun could no longer sit still and cursed: "What are you doing!"
"Gu Xiaotian, this is Lu Mansion, you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"
Lu Changxun stretched out his hand, wiped away the saliva on the ground with his foot, and continued to laugh and said, "Master Gu, if you have any complaints, just say it. Why humiliate Lu like this?"
Gu Xiaotian laughed loudly and said, "Lu Changxun, are you pretending to be confused while trying to figure it out?"
Lu Changxun's eyes were unkind, "What do you mean, sir?"
Gu Xiaotian looked around, then pointed and said: "Since I have already come in, why delay the time? Just let the people from the Iron Armor Battalion come out. I would like to test the Iron Armor Battalion of the Kyoto Army. , what confidence do you have?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind Lu Changxun.
"Gu Xiaotian, I just want to see if you are as good as you say in the world!"
Lu Changxun immediately got out of the way and thrust a long spear towards Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian sneered, then stretched out two fingers and pinched the long stick directly between his fingers.
Looking at the long spear, Gu Xiaotian clicked his tongue and said: "Those who are good at using spears in the army are all generals who can sit on one side of the battlefield, but now it seems that they are not worthy of their reputation."
Lu Renyi's face was ashen. There were only a few people in the army who could take him. But when he came to Gu Xiaotian, he was easily caught between two fingers.
Lu Renyi said loudly: "What are you waiting for? Come on!"
At the same time, many soldiers wearing iron armor suddenly poured out from all directions, holding heavy weapons and smashing towards Gu Xiaotian.
