Chapter 51 051 [Inform the enemy plane first]

When Lu Chen walked out of the gate of Gu's house, many people were already watching in the distance of the long street.

As a rising star in Huaizhou's business community, the Gu family has been very prosperous in the past 15 years, and even suppressed the Lu family for a time.However, starting from today, the glory of the past has turned into powder, and what awaits the Gu family will be severe punishment from the court.

The complicated sighs of the onlookers had just started to sound when soldiers marching in formation suddenly appeared at the end of the long street, and the rhythmic sound of running hit everyone's hearts like a majestic drum beat.

Li Jin's expression changed slightly as he hurried over, and he quickly directed the spies from the Sutra Weaving Department to line up and at the same time surrounded Duan Zuozhang, Ou Zhiqiu and others.

The Lu family's men were standing in the back row. Although they were all carefully selected by Li Chengen, many people couldn't help but look worried when looking at the fierce power of the military formation across the long street.

There were about 400 soldiers rushing towards Gu's house. The leader was a military general who was over thirty years old. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and a resolute face. His expression was cold and not angry at the moment.

"Wait!"

Hundreds of soldiers ordered and prohibited, and their fierceness on the battlefield was undoubtedly revealed.

The general stepped forward a few steps, leaning his spear on the ground, and shouted: "Where is General Duan?"

Lu Chen and Li Jin looked at each other and stepped forward side by side without any hesitation, while Lin Xi quietly approached where Duan Zuozhang and Ou Zhiqiu were.

Li Jin was the first to speak: "Li Jin, the Sutra Weaving Department's Guangling Inspector, has met Captain You."

Lu Chendeng knew immediately that this person was Duan Zuozhang's commanding officer You Pu. He assisted Duan Zuozhang in commanding the four thousand defenders in Guangling City.

You Pu glanced sideways at the street corner and saw more than [-] disarmed guards. An evil look immediately appeared on his face, and he said in a cold voice: "Your Weaving Department is so brave, even the deputy commander of the Guangling Army dared to detain without authorization. Who gave you the authority? Is it Qin Tiju or Su Jianxue? Or do you have His Majesty’s will?!"

If he had faced You Pu's angry questioning half an hour ago, Li Jin would have been a little uneasy, but now that he has the irrefutable evidence, how can the Inspector of the Weaving Department be afraid of the Border Army Captain?

He said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Captain You, the evidence is conclusive that the Gu family colluded with the puppet Yan Xizuo. The arrest of all the Gu family members has been approved by the Su Inspector. As for General Duan... he has some involvement in this matter, so he needs to be asked to return to the Sutra Weaving Department. The Yamen will assist in the investigation.”

"Bullshit relationship!"

You Pu was furious, stepped forward and widened his eyes and said: "The Gu family is the Gu family, and General Duan is General Duan. Don't think that he doesn't understand the methods of our Sutra Weaving Department! Even if there is an investigation, the Governor's Office will send someone to investigate. It’s not your warp weaving department’s turn to intervene!”

"Below the third rank, the Sutra Weaving Department can first review and then report. This is the power granted by the emperor."

A calm voice rescued Li Jin from the opponent's spitting attack.

A fierce light suddenly appeared in You Pu's eyes, and he turned to look directly at Lu Chen standing next to him: "Who are you?"

Lu Chen responded calmly: "I am a lower-ranking official, Lu Chen, and I am now the head of the Sutra Weaving Department."

You Pu looked rough and arrogant, but in fact he was not careless. He looked around and started to care. Knowing that this young man was the one in charge, he said arrogantly: "Lu Ganban, I have no interest in debating right and wrong with you. Let me go immediately." General Duan, otherwise you will definitely not leave here today. Even if I agree, the soldiers brought out by General Duan will not agree!"

As if echoing his words, the hundreds of soldiers stepped forward in unison with a terrifying momentum.

Lu Chen's face remained calm and he said calmly: "Captain You, the Warp Weaving Department has found out that the Gu family colluded with the pseudo-Yan family, and General Duan's wife and the Gu family are distant relatives of the same clan. The Gu family has indeed looked for Mrs. Gu recently. Now the Warp Weaving Department Just asking General Duan to go back and assist in the investigation, Lieutenant You will start shouting to kill, could it be that...you really want these soldiers to take action and kill hundreds of people from the Sutra Weaving Department on this street?"

You Pu choked.

Lu Chen asked again: "Is it possible that your Guangling Army is outside the law and cannot be controlled by the court's laws?"

You Pu's right hand holding the gun suddenly tightened, and Li Jin couldn't help but secretly be on guard.

Just like Duan Zuozhang didn't expect Lu Chen to suddenly attack, no one knew whether the rough and powerful man in front of him would become crazy.

Lu Chen looked directly into You Pu's eyes, and his tone became colder: "The Sutra Weaving Department has not said that General Duan is guilty, and is just asking him to go back. However, Captain You is so angry, as if he wants to lead the Guangling Army soldiers to trample the imperial court. The law is more like putting General Duan to death..."

Although he didn't finish what he said next, the unfinished meaning in it was already very obvious. Not only did You Pu's expression change due to the crowding, but the soldiers on the long street were also vaguely commotion.

At this moment, Duan Zuozhang finally spoke: "Captain You."

You Pu immediately stood up and said: "The general is here!"

Duan Zuozhang said: "Take the soldiers back to the camp. During the period when I am not here, you will temporarily take care of the city defense matters."

You Pu hesitated, and finally responded helplessly: "The last general will take your orders!"

He stared at Lu Chen with an unkind expression and whispered: "Director Lu, if General Duan makes a mistake in the Weaving Department, I cannot guarantee what the four thousand soldiers and horses in the city will do in a moment of anger. You Lu The family tree attracts wind, even if it is just for the sake of your own family, I hope you can consider the importance."

These words were a bit out of line.

Li Jin suppressed his anger and said, "Captain You, are you threatening the Weaving Department?"

You Pu snorted coldly and said slowly: "Su Inspector is here today, and this is what I said."

Li Jin wanted to argue, but Lu Chen stopped him and said, "Brother Li, there is no need to be angry. Captain You is a sweet-tempered person, and he cares about the friendship between his comrades. We should be considerate."

You Pu glanced at Lu Chen thoughtfully, then said goodbye to Duan Zuozhang loudly, and then retreated with hundreds of soldiers.Lu Chen looked at his majestic back, then withdrew his gaze after a moment and said, "Brother Li, the Gu residence is temporarily sealed. Except for Gu Zisi, father and son, the rest of the Gu family are locked up here. Could you please select a few mature and prudent people from among them?" People maintain the Gu family's property to prevent too much noise from affecting people's livelihood."

This was a plan that the two of them had discussed before. Li Jin had already prepared it. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will ask the government officials for help, and there will be no chaos."

"Duan Zuozhang, the Gu family and his son, Ou Zhiqiu and others were escorted back to the Yamen of the Weaving Department and kept under strict guard. Pay special attention not to treat Duan Zuozhang harshly, because we may not be able to get evidence of his collusion with the Gu family." Lu Chen reminded in a low voice.

Li Jin smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said, "I will have people interrogate the Gu family, father and son, and the three agents, and find out the whereabouts of Puppet Yan's other agents as soon as possible. As for Ou Zhiqiu and Duan Zuozhang, wait until you arrive at the Yamen before making a decision. .”

Lu Chen realized that he was a bit confused, and Li Jin was not a newbie. Su Yunqing handed over Guangling Yamen to him, of course, it could not be just because Li Jin was his confidant.

He immediately adjusted his mentality and said with regret: "I was in a hurry, I hope Brother Li won't blame me."

Li Jin smiled heartily, his eyes full of approval, and immediately winked to the side and whispered: "Don't worry too much, you won a big victory today, and you don't have to rush for a moment. Go ahead and come to the Yamen when you are done. .”

Lu Chen looked over and saw Lin Xi standing by the road, waiting quietly.

Li Jin said no more and led a large force to escort those people back to the Yamen of the Sutra Weaving Department. His smile before leaving became more and more meaningful.

……

"That sharp archer just now is Xi Jun that senior sister mentioned?"

"It's him."

"Excellent archery."

"Junior brother, do you want to learn?"

"Do not want to."

"Ok?"

"Learning martial arts is expensive but not expensive. I just want to learn a few external skills from my senior sister, and then understand the Shangxuan Sutra more deeply."

"Junior brother, did you ever think about it at that time, if we didn't restrain Duan Zuozhang, or if he resisted at all costs, how would you end up?"

The clouds penetrate the setting sun, half of the city is illuminated by light and shadow.

The two of them strolled along the path, and the breeze blew past their faces, causing some ripples in their hearts.

Hearing Lin Xi's question, Lu Chen answered with a smile: "If the Gu family and Beibian Xizuo hadn't been looking for him, he wouldn't have appeared outside the Gu house by such a coincidence. But he only brought twenty personal guards, which shows that he didn't want to fight with him. There was a direct conflict with the Warp Weaving Department, so they have been suppressing me verbally, hoping that both sides will stop it."

"In other words, Duan Zuozhang doesn't dare to completely break up?"

"Yes, since he is hesitant in his heart, I definitely can't miss this opportunity."

Lin Xi smiled and nodded.

Lu Chen said: "Today's success is all due to the help of senior sister. If teaching martial arts is related to the friendship between the elders, then I must inherit the favor of senior sister for today's matter. It is not a gentleman to know a favor and not repay it. Although I am not a gentleman , but I can’t be an unrighteous person. From now on, if Senior Sister has an assignment, I will do my best."

Lin Xi's heart moved slightly, and she turned to look at Lu's solemn expression, and said warmly: "Okay."

Lu Chen took advantage of the situation and said, "I also want to ask Senior Sister for a favor."

Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Aren't you afraid that you will owe more and more and you won't be able to pay back in the end?"

Lu Chen said calmly: "You have to pay it back even if you can't afford it. As long as you work hard, you can always pay it off."

Lin Xi nodded and said, "That's right. Tell me, what's the matter?"

A face appeared in Lu Chen's mind, and he whispered in a low voice: "Nowadays, most of the people in the Warp Weaving Department and the Lu family are exposed, especially the masters have come into the sight of others. I would like to ask my senior sister to borrow some reckless heroes to help me keep an eye on them. one person."

Lin Xi did not answer directly, but asked curiously: "You have already thought about what those people in the Procuratorate are going to do, right?"

Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the sunset in the sky, and said calmly: "Build the plank road in the open and visit the warehouse in secret."

Lin Xi blinked his smart eyes.

"I do not understand."

"Sister, if you don't mind my verbosity, I will explain it to you slowly."

"Ah."

The setting sun was like smoke, drawing a pair of long shadows behind them.
