Xilin quickly grabbed Lu Rong, who was still about to make a move: "Stop making trouble, something happened!"
He threw Lu Rongfei away and climbed onto the roof. At a glance, he saw countless torches shining outside, surrounding the entire Lu family's front and back doors. A dark crowd broke in from the front yard, causing a scream and chaos.
What those people were wearing...
"People from the Beijing Patrol Camp?"
Xilin's eyes widened, and he immediately thought that Uncle Luyang had brought someone over, but then he heard several shrill screams.
He saw someone using a sword over there, people falling down one after another in the front yard, and those from the Beijing Patrol Battalion rushing straight into the backyard.
Xilin's face turned pale and he jumped off the roof in a hurry. As soon as he stood in the courtyard, he faced Lu Chongyuan who hurriedly came out after hearing the noise in the study.
"What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Master Lang, he is from the patrol camp in Beijing."
Lu Chongyuan also thought it was Uncle Luyang who was here. The joy on his face had not yet shown, and the next moment his smile froze on his lips.
"People from the Beijing patrol broke into the house and killed people. The entire Lu family was surrounded. Master Lang, something seems to have happened to Uncle Luyang."
Lu Chongyuan's expression changed. He vaguely heard the shouting and shouting approaching, and he could see the light of the torch when he raised his eyes.
He knew almost instantly that something was going wrong tonight, otherwise the people from the Beijing patrol camp would not dare to break into the Lu family without permission, and would directly attack the people in the mansion.
"Send me out of the house immediately!"
He must not be trapped in the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Xilin stepped forward to take Lu Chongyuan and jumped up to leave from the roof. But as soon as the two of them took off, a cold light fell directly on Xilin's legs.
He only felt a pain in his legs and wrists, and his body that had risen into the air fell straight down.
He only had time to turn over and protect Lu Chongyuan on top, before the two of them hit the ground with a "bang".
Xilin's internal organs seemed to have shifted. He opened his mouth suddenly and spit out a mouthful of blood. Although Lu Chongyuan had someone on his back, he still rolled on the ground in a mess after landing.
Xiao Yan threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the owl guard beside him: "Where are you going, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Chongyuan raised his head and looked at the person in front of the door with a pale face: "Xiao Yan?!"
Xiao Yan raised his feet and walked up to Lu Chongyuan: "Ling Lu, you seem to be very surprised to see this governor?"
"You...you are not..."
Lu Chongyuan's eyes were shocked. Shouldn't he be in the south? Ever since he realized that Xiao Yan was not in the capital, he had already sent a letter asking Lu Jiu'an to lead people to hunt them down. Even if he couldn't keep Xiao Yan, he would still prevent him from returning to the capital. How could he He might be back so soon, how could he be in Beijing?
"you……"
ah--
Xiao Yan stepped on Lu Chongyuan's arm, and a sound like bone cracking was heard as he screamed.
"Xiao Yan!! How dare you hurt my husband?!" Xilin said sharply: "My husband is an important official of the court, how dare you use lynching..."
"Lynching?"
Xiao Yan's eyes were cold: "The Lu family colluded with King Cheng to force the Guan family to death to cover up their betrayal and deceive the emperor. Tonight, they set fire to the Fengxi Palace, assassinated His Majesty and caused chaos in the capital, and bribed the people under my command to kill soldiers. Break into the mansion and murder the governor."
"If the governor had resorted to lynching, he would have been dead by now."
Xiao Yan lifted his foot and let go of Lu Chongyuan's arm, leaned over and whispered to the screaming Lu Chongyuan: "Anyone who dares to hurt this governor, Lu Chongyuan, I will take good care of you."
He raised his leg and kicked the person over, bumping into Xilin who was shouting just now.
Xiao Yan raised his voice and said: "Come here, throw them into the room for me, and nail the door shut. He is not allowed to leave the door even half a step without His Majesty's instructions."
Jinyun, who had followed Xiao Yan, led the owl guards forward, picked up Lu Chongyuan and the others and threw them into the room.
Before the door closed, Lu Chongyuan, who was in severe pain, hissed:
"Xiao Yan, you are not qualified to imprison me. I am the auxiliary minister personally appointed by the late emperor. The Lu family has been in power for generations. No one can touch me without His Majesty's decree..."
"Really? Then I would like to see what you can do if you are moved."
Xiao Yan sneered and said behind him: "Everyone in the Lu family is under supervision and no fly is allowed to be let go. Before the matter is found out tonight, if anyone in the Lu family dares to forcefully leave the house, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Xiao Yan, how dare you!"
"Xiao Yan, you gelding, let me out!"
"Marquis Wenxin...Zhou Tianzhuo, I know you are here and Xiao Yan is so unscrupulous. Are you crazy? Are you just going to watch Xiao Yan and the people patrolling the camp in Beijing do whatever they want?"
"You let me out, otherwise I will definitely accuse you of colluding with that eunuch Xiao Yan, Zhou Tianzhuo, did you hear that?!"
Lu Chongyuan no longer had the calmness of the head of the Lu family in the past, and was trapped in the room screaming.
Seeing that no one was paying attention outside, Xiao Yan turned around and walked out. He rushed to the door and shouted sharply in the direction of the yard:
"Xiao Yan, don't think that I won't know what you did after you returned to the capital. You just left the capital to go to the south..."
boom!
The long sword in Jinyun's hand suddenly rose and fell hard on Lu Chongyuan's mouth, and the shout in his mouth was instantly cut off.
"Lu Langling still wants to slander my governor at this time. If you don't want to talk about it anymore, I can help you."
A faint voice came, and Jinyun looked at him coldly.
Lu Chongyuan's mouth hurt so much that his teeth were bleeding. Seeing the owl guards standing in front of the door looking at them fiercely, Lu Chongyuan couldn't help but take a half step back.
"You'd better wait and see. After tonight's matter is found out, His Majesty will punish you."
Jinyun stepped back and slammed the door.
The lights in the room flickered dimly, and Lu Chongyuan fell to the ground in a panic, with only one thought left in his mind.
It's over.
…
Although people from the Beijing patrol camp surrounded the Lu family, it was the dozens of owl guards brought by Xiao Yan who were in charge.
Lu Chongyuan's courtyard was surrounded by people, and even the people patrolling the camp in Beijing were not allowed to approach. When Xiao Yan walked outside the courtyard, he saw Marquis Wenxin standing there with a complicated expression.
"You took Lu Chongyuan before His Majesty had any decree. If he comes out in the future, he will definitely not let you go."
"Then he must be able to come out."
Marquis Wenxin was shocked when he heard Xiao Yan's words. Is Xiao Yan going to kill Lu Chongyuan?
He suddenly remembered Lu Chongyuan's hoarse words just now. He said that Xiao Yan should not be in the capital. He said that he went to the south...
There was a sudden disturbance in the palace tonight, and there was also strange chaos in the capital. There were also those dead men who broke into Jiuyun Lane, and Uncle Luyang who was acting strangely.
Marquis Wenxin whispered: "Are you sure Lu Chongyuan can't come out?"
Xiao Yan laughed: "After entering the palace, the Marquis will naturally know."
He glanced at the people from the Beijing patrol stationed outside the Lu family:
"Please help me, Lord Marquis, to guard the Lu family first. Later, my people will bring people to take over here. Lord Marquis, don't worry. If there is any problem with the Lu family, I will take full responsibility for it." Don’t implicate Mr. Hou.”
Seeing Jinyun coming out, Xiao Yan said to him: "Looking at Lu Chongyuan, I and Marquis Wenxin will enter the palace first."
Jinyun nodded quickly: "My subordinates will be optimistic about the Lu family. It's just the governor. Just now, someone was caught in Lu Chongyuan's yard. He seemed to be a close associate of Lu Zhao. He said he had something important to report to the governor, and it was related to the Lu family. of."
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Lu Zhao's cronies?"
"Yes, he said that he can help the governor deal with the Lu family. He just asks the governor to find an imperial doctor to treat Wu Lang of the Lu family first. He has a high fever."
Lu Kagoro?
Xiao Yan knew that Lu Zhao had a younger son who seemed to be the fifth eldest son in the house. He nodded: "Okay, you just have to make arrangements. As for that person, you need to interrogate him first and see what he says. If there is an emergency, send someone to send a message." Just tell the governor."
"yes."
Marquis Wenxin stood aside and his eyes flashed slightly. Xiao Yan never did anything he was unsure of, and he dared to break up with the Lu family like this. The Lu family might be really doomed this time, and the cronies around Lu Zhao might turn against each other. What secrets will be revealed, then Lu Chongyuan...
He turned around and ordered the people patrolling the camp in Beijing: "You and your people stay here and follow the orders of Governor Xiao's people. After they come to take over the Lu family, you can lead them back to the camp."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
