Chapter 57(1/2)
Before coming, he inquired about the situation of the Lu family in Lindan Kingdom. He was very helpful to the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Jingyuan, but he was also well aware of the situation where Lu Kun favored his grandson.
So just now Lu Jingyuan was competing for credit in front of Lu Kun, but he pretended not to know and just watched the show from the side.
But this Lu Zhiang was the key person he wanted to get close to on this mission.
After all, the family head usually has high cultivation level and long lifespan. If someone can win their favor, even if it doesn't work, the family head will use all the resources at hand to help them do it!
No matter how capable Lu Jingyuan is, he probably won't be able to get into the position.
What's more, Lu Zhiang is not a fool, and Yu Hu has also heard about the matter of wearing golden clothes to establish authority.
"Oh, is this the second young master? He is indeed a talented person!" He chuckled.
Lu Jingyuan looked at the bruise on Lu Zhiang's face that didn't go away and his even more depressed spirit, and secretly sneered in his heart.
Thanks to the gourd for being able to keep boasting!
Lu Kun secretly glared at Lu Zhiang, but still smiled and said: "Just now, Ambassador Yu Zun just said that he wanted to find a piece of jade in the Li family, which has been refining elixirs for generations. Zhiang, do you know?"
Lu Zhiang rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, my grandson knows where they live. He can take someone to do this now."
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Lu Kun smiled broadly.
Yu Hu's eyes flickered between Lu Jingyuan, Lu Kun, and Lu Zhiang, and finally he said with a smile: "Then please trouble the second young master to take me there."
Lu Jingyuan's hands hidden in his sleeves were instantly clenched into fists, and it took all his strength to keep the smile on his face.
"Hahaha," Lu Kun was extremely happy, "Zhiang, did you hear that? Why don't you take your envoy there quickly? This matter must be done well, you know?"
"yes."
After Lu Zhiang and Yu Hu went out together, Lu Jingyuan also said goodbye and left on the pretext of catching up on the progress of the family line.
But the look he was looking at Lu Zhiang's back could no longer suppress his viciousness.
Lu Zhiang took a dozen people and Yu Hu and went straight to a small courtyard in the south of the city. This courtyard was simple and shabby, even the walls were broken. It was the most ordinary people's house in Qutong City.
But it doesn't look like it is the courtyard of the so-called alchemy family, the Li family that Yu Hu mentioned.
Lu Zhiang asked someone to go up and bang the door loudly. After a few breaths, but there was no movement, he kicked it impatiently, directly breaking a hole in the door.
"Li Chao, Li Chao! Get out of here quickly, I have something good for you!"
The dozen or so people accompanying him, some climbed over the wall, some removed the door, rushed into the yard and rummaged around, trying to break open the door.
"Boom!"
As soon as a follower kicked the door shut, the door suddenly opened, and a man holding an ax high rushed out, slashing at the Lu family members.
"I'll fight with you!"
The follower laughed loudly, stepped aside, and then kicked him from behind, knocking the man to the ground and causing him to chew on the ground, and the ax fell out of his hand.
"Hahaha, Li Chao, with your three-legged cat skills, you still want to fight us? Don't say you can't hit us, even if you hit us, it's just a matter of a pill. What about you? You still want to fight us?"
Are you alive? Hahaha..."
Lu Zhiang laughed and taunted the man on the ground, and someone brought out chairs from the room for him and Yu Hu to sit down.
It took Li Chao a long time to stand up from the ground with difficulty, hunched over and said bitterly: "Lu Zhiang, my Li family has been ruined by you, why are you still unwilling to let me go!"
"Hey, you can't say that, Li Chao, I really have something good for you this time." Lu Zhiang chuckled.
"This is Yu Zunshi from the Qianshan Sect. I heard that your family has a piece of ancestral spiritual jade. Yu Zunshi specially came to ask for that piece of jade. As long as it is put to use, you will be a hero of the Qianshan Sect. What will happen in the future?
Are you prosperous and wealthy?"
"Tell me, is this a great thing?"
Li Chao glanced at Yu Hu contemptuously and sneered: "The last time your Lu family said this, you took away all the alchemy secrets from our Li family, and we were not even allowed to live in the house."
"The last time, it was my father who was forcibly taken away by you. I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. My mother wanted to find out what happened to you, but you kicked her to death in the street!"
"What glory and wealth? Damn! My Li family has nothing left. If you don't worry, just take my life away!"
Yu Hu's expression changed, and Lu Zhiang jumped up first and slapped Li Chao!
"What a shameless thing! Do you think I am really discussing this with you? Search for me!"
Upon hearing the sound, a group of followers immediately rushed into the simple rooms and threw out everything inside. They smashed the dishes, smashed the tables and chairs, and even turned the cabinets and beds upside down.
This is not looking for anything, it is clearly to demolish Li Chao’s home!
Li Chao stood motionless in the middle of the yard, no matter how much they smashed him to pieces, his thin figure was as straight as a green pine in the snow, and no amount of wind or snow could bend it.
The noise and noise in the yard soon attracted the attention of the people around. The neighbors in front and behind quietly poked their heads out, but no one dared to stand up.
After a while, the followers came out one by one and replied: "Master, I didn't notice it."
"Master, there are no good things."
"It's just some ordinary furniture, no secret rooms."
…
Li Chao coldly snorted: "My family's magic weapons have been looted by you a long time ago. When you kicked me out of my old house, I had nothing. How can I still change it now?"
Lu Zhiang looked at Yu Hu with questioning eyes, and when he nodded slightly, he said to Li Chao: "Your family originally had a piece of jade, which was not of good quality, but where is your heirloom? Tell me and I will let you go.
.”
"Hahaha, my family's heirloom..." Li Chao laughed, "You should go to your Lu family's warehouse to look for it! Otherwise, if it goes to other aristocratic families, it will always be in the hands of you people!"
"Humph, you really don't want to say anything?" Lu Zhiang's voice suddenly turned cold.
"When I say I don't know, I just don't know!"
"You bastard!..."
Lu Zhiang's heart was filled with anger. He had been very frustrated in the past two days, and now he had lost face in front of Yu Hu. He jumped up and wanted to kill Li Chao.
But Yu Hu quietly waved his hand towards him, indicating that he couldn't kill him yet.
Lu Zhiang had no choice but to walk around the yard, glance at the people who were quietly sizing him up, and said, "I know that you are very tough and not afraid of death. Even if I chop off your arms and legs today, you won't say anything."
"But!" He turned around suddenly, "I heard that your Li family has been a family tradition of kindness and kindness for generations, and treats everyone equally. If someone else dies because of you, Li Chao, I'm afraid your conscience will feel bad, right?"
In Li Chao's confused eyes, Lu Zhiang ordered: "Go and arrest all the neighbors!"
"yes!"
With a "swish" sound, several followers came out of the crowd, flew to the next door and caught out those who were peeping, then flew back into the courtyard and threw them to the ground.
Suddenly, there were several more people on the ground, old and young. They were all trembling with fear and did not dare to raise their heads to look at Lu Zhiang and others.
Li Chao's eyes were about to split, "Lu Zhiang, if you want to kill or chop you, come at me, don't implicate innocent people!"
Lu Zhiang sneered and drew out his entourage's sword, placing it across the neck of one of the white-haired old men.
"Li Chao, can we talk now? Where is that piece of jade?"
Li Chao rushed forward to block the old man, but was held back by other followers, "What I said is true, I really don't know!"
"Crack!"
The sword passed lightly and made a crisp sound. The white-haired old man still closed his eyes tightly, but a large pool of blood flowed out from under his neck, and his body no longer shook.
"Uncle Wu..."
"Old Wutou..."
The other people all cried and shouted the old man's name.
Li Chao struggled desperately to rush towards Lu Zhiang, "Lu Er, you bastard, you are not a human being!"
"You can't blame me for that. It was you who refused to tell the truth, and that's why he died."
Lu Zhiang pretended to kill others again.
Li Chao fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed to Old Uncle Wu and the others, "Fellow folks, it's my fault. It's me, Li Chao, who has caused trouble for everyone!"
"I can't forgive my sins in this life, but in the next life I will work for everyone! I'm sorry!" After saying this, he refused to get up.
Several neighbors who were arrested cried one after another: "Li Chao, it's not your fault. We have a clear conscience."
"That's right, this miserable life can't be tolerated. If you die early, you will suffer less!"
"Stop crying, just give birth to a good child in the next life and stop being bullied..."
…
Seeing that so many people were determined to help Li Chao, especially after seeing a slightly disappointed expression on Yu Hu's face, Lu Zhiang became even more furious.
He was about to kill all these people to vent his anger, when he suddenly made a move and seemed to remember something.
"Li Chao, if I remember correctly, you still have a wife and children, right? Where did you hide them?"
Li Chao stiffened and immediately replied: "My wife despises me for being useless and left with the children long ago."
But his hesitation did not escape Lu Zhiang's eyes.
He pointed at the house with his sword and said, "Look for it!"
"yes!"
