Chapter 50 050 [Those who travel hundreds of miles]

"Lu Chen, do you know what you are doing? Taking the imperial military attaché hostage is treason and rebellion!"

Duan Zuozhang's face was ashen and his tone was cold.

At this moment, his heart was full of regret. If he had been prepared to completely fall out from the beginning and brought three hundred personal guards here, how could this kid from the warp weaving department dare to take action directly?

But just like his ambiguous attitude towards Gu Junye before, he did not make up his mind to force the warp weaving department.

He didn't take Li Jin seriously, but he was quite wary of Su Yunqing, not to mention promoting Qin Zheng, who had the emperor's trust.Therefore, today he just wants to use his reputation to protect the Gu family and prevent the situation from getting out of hand.

But he underestimated Lu Chen's determination. The moment he appeared outside the door of Gu's house, Lu Chen had already thought that as long as he showed support for the Gu family, he would definitely capture this person today and take control of the overall situation.

Lu Chen's hand holding the knife was very steady. He ignored Duan Zuozhang's words. He cast his stern eyes at the guards and soldiers in front of the door and said angrily: "The Gu family colluded with the fake Yan Xizuo. The Sutra Weaving Department was ordered to arrest the criminal. Gu Zisi, Gu Junye and Gu Junhui have already been captured, but if you still don't surrender and give way, could it be that you want to become an accomplice in this case and have your family confiscated and exterminated like the Gu family?"

Li Jinxin understood the idea and led the crowd to roar in unison: "Abandon your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will be punished with death!"

There was dead silence in front of the gate of Gu's house.

Lu Chen exerted a little force, and the blade pressed against Duan Zuozhang's neck. Blood stains were faintly visible, and he said coldly: "General Duan, don't force me."

After a long time, Duan Zuozhang looked at the worried guards on the opposite side and said numbly: "Put down your weapons."

The soldiers looked at each other in shock. Although they wanted to take back the general, no one dared to act rashly when looking at the steel knife that was placed on Duan Zuozhang's throat and could be cut off at any time.

Normally, although the people in the Sutra Weaving Department have the right to interrogate first and report later, no one dares to kill a fourth-grade military general at will.

The problem was that the young man in front of him, who only had a rank of seventh rank, was obviously a lunatic. These soldiers did not dare to gamble with the life of the general, so some of them were the first to drop their weapons, and then like ripples, more and more people of people do this.

In a short time, more than [-] personal guards had disarmed. Seeing this situation, the Gu family's nursing home dared to resist.

"Open the door!"

Lu Chen gave an order, and the door of Gu's house was finally slowly opened.

He clasped Duan Zuozhang's wrist with his left hand, and his right hand holding the knife was as steady as a rock. He said softly: "General Duan, could you please go in with me to see if the Gu family has colluded with the fake Yan Xizuo."

Of course Duan Zuozhang would not give him a good look, but at this moment he was not sure of Lu Chen's character, so he could only control the anger in his heart and walked towards Gu's house.

Lin Xi followed within a foot of the two of them and didn't care about the movements of other people.

After the door was opened, the Gu family nursing home was under centralized guarding. Li Jin and Li Chengen led their elite troops to attack somewhere inside the home. At the same time, the people guarding the outside of the Gu home were also alert to 12 to prevent those Beiyan people. Carefully make a dog jump over the wall to find a way to escape.

After all, Duan Zuozhang was an experienced battlefield veteran, so he secretly thought something was wrong when he saw the actions of Li Jin and others.

These people have a clear purpose and are obviously not blind cats killing mice.It is very possible that the Sutra Weaving Department planted a secret nail inside the Gu family and had already figured out the situation in this house. Otherwise, how could Lu Chen have the courage to openly hijack the imperial generals?
If no irrefutable evidence can be found in Gu's house today, dozens of people in the Lu family will have to walk around without food.

Sure enough, when Lu Chen took Duan Zuozhang hostage to a courtyard, the place was already surrounded by three layers of warp weavers and masters of the Lu family. The three men guarding the door looked cold and stern, holding knives outside. The people of Southern Qi.

Li Jin turned around and looked at Lu Chen and Duan Zuozhang who were coming over. He glanced at the veiled woman next to him and immediately looked back.

With that startling glance earlier, he confirmed that this woman's martial arts level was even higher than that of Su Yunqing. The Lu family's background was indeed unfathomable. No wonder Lu Chen dared to make such a bold plan.

He calmed down and said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, based on the news that our informants have returned, the head of the Puppet Yan Prosecution Office is hiding in this room."

Duan Zuozhang's face was gloomy, realizing that the situation in front of him was extremely unfavorable to him. However, before he could think of words, there was a sudden light on his neck.

Lu Chen calmly retracted the long knife, and Lin Xi took a step closer to Duan Zuozhang. There was no verbal communication between the two from beginning to end, but they cooperated extremely well.

At this moment, the door opposite opened from the inside, the three people guarding the door stepped aside, and an ordinary-looking man in his thirties walked out.

He stood on the steps with bare hands, staring at Lu Shen's young and handsome face, the emotions in his eyes were particularly complicated.

There seemed to be surprise and anger.

Li Jin raised his right arm, and more than ten masters approached, with murderous aura all over their bodies.

"Wait a minute."

The man on the steps said two words, then moved his eyes to Duan Zuozhang's face, shook his head and said: "I thought that after Su Yunqing left, Guangling City would be able to do whatever I asked for, but I didn't expect that I would lose at the hands of idiots like you. Here." Duan Zuozhang said coldly: "I don't know you."

The man said quietly: "It's just the Gu family and his son. I didn't expect them to be able to guard against the all-pervasive spies of the Warp Weaving Department, but you, Duan Zuozhang, are not even as good as a young boy. At this stage of the situation, how do you still think you can do it? You can scare them away with just a few nonsense words, but you won't be able to show any courage or courage. If you can bring troops here today, how can the Sutra Weaver dare to break into Gu's house?"

He paused and laughed at himself: "It's funny that I calculated everything, but I didn't realize that the dignified deputy commander of the Guangling Army was a loser."

"absurd!"

Even though Duan Zuozhang had indeed been shaken, he couldn't have any hesitation at the moment. After all, the people standing next to him were all people from the Weaving Department, so he continued angrily: "Although I am a distant relative of the Gu family, I have not been in contact with him for many years. , let alone what the Gu family is doing with you! Don’t think that these few deceptive words can drag me into the water, and don’t confuse the public with your lies here!”

The man shrugged slightly and said sarcastically: "If you had half of the courage you have now, how could you have made the situation so miserable? It's just that I was stupid and thought that you people are not just mud that can't stand up to the wall."

Duan Zuozhang's face turned red with anger and he said sternly: "How can I let you false spies frame me?!"

As soon as he took a step forward, Lu Chen, who had been watching with cold eyes, stretched out his hand to stop him and said calmly: "General Duan, please be patient."

Duan Zuozhang suppressed the anger and panic in his heart.

Lu Chen raised his eyes to look at the man on the steps and asked calmly, "What do you call him?"

The man sneered and responded: "I, Ou Zhiqiu, do you have any advice for Mr. Lu?"

Lu Chen said: "Are you going to capture yourself without any help, or am I going to have someone tie you up?"

Ou Zhiqiu glanced at the confidants beside him and asked calmly: "Is there a third option?"

However, Lu Chen had no interest in watching his performance. He waved his hands and said indifferently: "Tie them up. If they want to die, there is no need to hold back."

Ou Zhiqiu was stunned.

The people from the warp weaving department who couldn't wait long swarmed forward, and after a beating and kicking, they tied up all four Beiyan craftsmen, including Ou Zhiqiu.

Even though his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, Ou Zhiqiu still struggled towards Duan Zuozhang, spat viciously, and cursed: "Trash! Trash!"

Duan Zuozhang's face was ashen, but the mysterious and powerful woman kept staring at him, leaving him with no courage or chance to attack.

Lu Chen walked up to him and said calmly: "General Duan, now the evidence is conclusive that the Gu family is colluding with the puppet Yan Xi, and you, as the deputy commander of the Guangling Army, are also involved, so you have to go to the Guangling Yamen of the Sutra Weaving Department for investigation. I will Report this matter to the Governor's Office, General Qi and Inspector Su, and hope that until the truth is found out, you can remain calm and cooperate with the investigation of the Weaving Department, otherwise the consequences will be more serious than you imagine."

Duan Zuozhang didn't expect things to turn out like this. Of course he knew that it was easy to get in and difficult to get out of the Warp Weaver Department, but it was difficult for him to say no right now.

Even if he could summon four thousand soldiers and horses, or even kill all the people in the Weaving Department, he would not be able to reverse the situation and continue to wait and see as before. He could only follow Ou Zhiqiu wholeheartedly, but there was no news about the legendary Yan army. How could he? Can you escape from Huaizhou?

What's more... the young man opposite would not give him this chance at all.

After a long time, with a look of defeat on his face, he lowered his head and said, "Okay, I will cooperate."

Lu Chen waved, and several elite spies came forward to take custody of Duan Zuozhang.

Ou Zhiqiu over there laughed almost crazily when he saw this, but no one noticed the cold light flashing in his eyes.

Although the Gu family and his son, Ou Zhiqiu and others have been arrested, the Gu residence still needs a comprehensive investigation. Li Jin is a veteran in this area, so he greeted Lu Chen and went to arrange the matter.

He couldn't hide his surprise. This time the Weaving Department's victory was more brilliant than last time. Not only did they dig out the Gu family's traitor, but they also captured the top officials of the Beiyan Procuratorate, which would definitely attract the emperor's attention.

At the thought of this, Li Jin couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Chen, inexplicably feeling that there was a faint light on his body.

This young man will surely rise to great heights.

Everyone began to retreat in an orderly manner, Lu Chen fell behind, and Lin Xi came to his side, and the two walked side by side.

After a brief silence, Lin Xi whispered: "I have fought many times with the hawks and dogs in the Procuratorate in the north, and they are not so weak. Ou Zhiqiu invited Duan Zuozhang here in advance and used your presence to force Duan Zuozhang to make up his mind. This is not a big deal. Nothing strange, but other than that, they don’t have any countermeasures, as if they are stupidly waiting for you to arrest someone, which is not their style.”

Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Bei Yan Xizuo in front of him who was being tightly controlled. His eyes were calm and far-reaching, and he said, "Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me. I know this is not the end, but a beginning."

Lin Xi turned his head and looked around, only to see the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his face. The gentle light complemented his calm expression.
