Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

tread! tread! tread!

Chen Wei led a team of people directly to the gate of Lu Mansion.

"My lord, what's wrong, Commander Chen has led a group of troops to surround our Lu Mansion."

Seeing the scene outside the mansion, the housekeeper of Lu Mansion ran quickly into Lu Yuanhua Courtyard.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!"

At this moment, Lu Yuanhua was sulking because of Liu Lei's incident. A bright silver knife was powerful in his hand, a faint silver light enveloped his whole body, and a strong wind howled.

Hearing the voice of the manager, Lu Yuanhua flashed the silver knife in his hand, and a cold light burst out!

Clang!

The cold light flashed across a potted flower scene, splitting it in half instantly.

"What's going on? What's he doing here?"

The blade of the knife in Lu Yuanhua's hand trembled, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Has his affair been exposed?

Chen Wei arrived very quickly, and Lu Yuanhua had not received any news about the affairs in the government office.

"I don't know, but from the look on Commander Chen's face, it seems he's coming with bad intentions." The Lu family's short legs were trembling a little, feeling that something was wrong.

Lu Yuanhua's face was gloomy and uncertain. Thinking of Zhou Chen's disappearance, he felt angry and swung his hand suddenly!

Clang!

The knife plunges into the ground.

"You go immediately outside the city to pick up your father and tell him about this."

Lu Yuanhua strode outside the house.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Chen Wei waited for a while, and an audience gradually gathered around him.

"Sir, should we go in and arrest Lu Yuanhua."

Seeing that there was no movement in the Lu Mansion, a personal guard walked up to Chen Wei and asked for instructions in a low voice.

"Need not."

Chen Wei stared at the Lu Mansion indifferently, waiting for Lu Yuanhua to come out.

"Lu Yuanhua doesn't dare to escape. If he doesn't escape, the Lu family can still be saved. If he escapes, the Lu family will be finished."

Chen Wei also learned on the way that Lu Ziming had gone out to inspect the county. It must be said that Jiang was still very old.

Click!

Sure enough, Lu Yuanhua soon appeared in the gate. He glanced at the soldiers surrounding the Lu Mansion, showed an angry look, stepped out of the gate and looked directly at Chen Wei and asked:

"Commander, why did the troops surround my Lu family today?"

Chen Wei's eyes flashed coldly and he snorted coldly:

"snort!"

The grandmaster's peak momentum pressed heavily on Lu Yuanhua.

Bang!

Lu Yuanhua suddenly felt depressed, as if his chest had been hit hard!

puff!

Lu Yuanhua vomited blood and took a few steps back.

"Lu Yuanhua, you stole 100,000 shi of grain from the granary. The evidence is conclusive. Now I will arrest you and take you to the government office to wait for His Highness to be punished."

Upon seeing this, the two guards quickly grabbed Lu Yuanhua's arms and sealed the acupuncture points.

The surrounding spectators were immediately shocked.

"What, it turns out that the person who stole the granary was Lieutenant Lu."

"How brave you are. As a deputy lieutenant of the army, you also stole the granary."

"How could it be that Lieutenant Lu, with his status as Lieutenant Lu, would commit theft?" Some people didn't believe it.

"How is it impossible? Didn't you see that the commanders came to arrest him, and they said the evidence was conclusive."

Seeing Lu Yuanhua being taken away by Chen Wei, the surrounding audience became excited and quickly followed them.

"Let's go and have a look at the government office."

At this time, the female relatives of the Lu family in the Lu Mansion were in chaos when they saw Lu Yuanhua being taken away and Lu Changming was not there.

Manager Lu had already run out of the back door to meet Lu Changming.

"Hurry and find Mr. Ximen!"

Lu Qingyan was very panicked. She felt that only Ximen Aolong could save her eldest brother now.

Outside the government office, as the news spread, more and more people gathered in front of the government office, and the wide flat ground seemed crowded.

"drive!"

There was the sound of horse hooves in the Fuya Street. When the people around saw Chen Wei arresting Lu Yuanhua and returned, they all made way.

Two soldiers captured Lu Yuanhua and followed Chen Wei into the government office.

The people quickly gathered around, eagerly waiting to see what was going on inside.

"Your Highness, the criminal Lu Yuanhua has been arrested and returned."

Two soldiers pushed Lu Yuanhua to the center of the lobby.

"Your Highness, I will be wronged!"

Lu Yuanhua quickly scanned the surroundings, but did not see Zhou Chen's figure, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

Lu Yuanhua, who was pushed into the lobby, did not hesitate at all. He knelt down and shouted to Li Yuan:

"Your Highness, King of Chu, I will be wronged and someone will frame me falsely."

Seeing that Lu Yuanhua still wanted to quibble, the officials around him sneered, while others shook their heads and sighed.

Human nature is like this, as long as there is no evidence in front of him, he will always take chances.

"Unjustly accused, haha!"

Li Yuan didn't talk nonsense to Lu Yuanhua. The photo stone on the desk was activated, and the scene of stealing the granary appeared in front of Lu Yuanhua.

When Lu Yuanhua saw the familiar scene, he understood in his heart. His eyes opened angrily, his pupils protruding from the blood line, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Zhou Chen!"

Seeing that Lu Yuanhua had confessed his crime, Li Yuan scolded him:

"I ask you why you stole the granary!"

Lu Yuanhua slowly closed his eyes, knelt down and said with shame:

"Your Highness, I am obsessed with evil spirits and greedy for gambling. I often lose all my money. I lost a large amount of money the day before yesterday. I am unable to repay it and I dare not tell my father. Therefore, I have the wrong intention and steal the granary."

"The general will plead guilty. This is my responsibility alone."

Wow!

The people in the government office were in an uproar. Just now, Lu Yuanhua had been arguing loudly, but as soon as the evidence came out, he directly confessed. They originally thought that Lu Yuanhua could hold on for a while.

Only the officials in the government office sneered, Lu Yuanhua dared not to plead guilty. If he didn't take all the crimes, the Lu family would be confiscated and exterminated.

Seeing that Lu Yuanhua confessed easily, Chu Qingyan said coldly:

"Haha, then why did you frame my people!"

Lu Yuanhua raised his head and glanced at Chu Qingyan, ignored her words and said respectfully:

"Your Highness, I was obsessed with it on the spot, but now I have woken up. One hundred thousand stones of grain were placed in a secret warehouse near the west city. Please give this general another chance to make meritorious deeds."

tread! tread! tread!

Mo Ziyan, Wang Yan and Zhou Chen quickly walked into the Yamen.

Mo Ziyan showed a smile: "Your Highness, one hundred thousand stones of grain is not a small amount. We have recovered all of them and have sent people to transport them back."

Uh-huh!

Lu Yuanhua turned his head and stared at Zhou Chen in front of him. The hatred in his eyes was enough to kill someone.

"Prefect Mo, what should we do with someone who steals a hundred thousand shi of food?"

Just when Li Yuan asked.

Outside the government office, a carriage arrived quickly. Lu Changming rushed in covered in dust. As soon as he entered the government office, he immediately knelt down and said:

"Your Highness, this humble minister is guilty."

Came so fast.

Zhou Qiuya and others narrowed their eyes.

"Lu Tongzhi, what's your crime?" Li Yuan knelt down when Lu Changming arrived and asked lightly.

"Weichen has been conducting inspections in the counties under his command over the past few days, but failed to discover in time that Quanzi had committed a heinous crime."

Lu Changming and Lu Yuanhua knelt on the same level, raised their hands in front of their foreheads, and said with great shame, their dusty appearance was a bit unbearable.

Officials who are friendly with the Lu family are already ready to make a move.

Old fox!

Li Yuan sighed inwardly, the food had been recovered, Lu Yuanhua confessed, and Lu Changming came to plead guilty again.

Li Yuan seemed a little undecided, turned to Chu Qingyan and asked:

"Princess, Lu Yuanhua stole food and framed the reputation of the Princess's men. Princess, how do you think Lu Yuanhua should be dealt with?"
