"It's a pity that the people I sent out this time were so useless. Some of them didn't even change out of their clothes in the mansion, so Ning Weizhou caught them. If he wants to punish me, I will hand me over. I will plead guilty alone and will never let you take any risks!" The old man knelt on the ground with a swollen face, and spoke with tears in his eyes.

Lu Mingchi sighed, "They are used to being arrogant, how could they know how powerful Ning Weizhou is? But it doesn't matter, the clothes in the mansion are not rare things, is there no one who imitates them and wears them to put the blame on my Lu family? Besides, those confessions are all false accusations. If we make a accusation, there are many martial arts masters in this city, and their dissatisfaction with the court is well known. My Lu family has always been in harmony with the government. Who in the government office of the whole West Shu has not received benefits from my Lu family? Ning Weizhou is a dragon crossing the river. If he wants to suppress my Lu family, I'm afraid he will have to work hard!"

"Master, you are wise!" The old man flattered him, "The news from the capital is that although Ning Weizhou has made some contributions in Jiangnan, the emperor still has no intention of recalling him, so he came to our remote place in the mountains to show off his power under the pretext of proposing a marriage with the Tang family!"

Lu Mingchi stood up from behind his desk, walked to the orchid in front of the window, picked up a piece of white cotton cloth, and carefully wiped the leaves:

"I've told you before, Ning Weizhou is not an ordinary military officer of the imperial court. He is resourceful and ruthless. If you continue to be careless, you will suffer a great loss! Give the order to the people in the county government to find a few chivalrous knights as scapegoats. Let this matter be settled. From now on, keep your claws down and do not act rashly without my order!"

The old man nodded quickly, but then said worriedly:

"Master, Miss Shi Xin is back. If she talks about what happened back then, what will you do?"

Although the old guys in the Tang family are stubborn and greedy, they are very proud. Since the youngest girl in the family has been murdered, they must seek revenge. Maybe they will take the opportunity to tear off a big piece of fat from the Lu family!

Lu Mingchi sneered: "At most, we can just marry her and give her a generous betrothal gift. It's not a big deal!"

"Then Tang Zhongyi..."

Lu Mingchi threw down the cotton cloth and said with a sullen face: "In my heart, she will always be my legal wife!"

"But the Tang family won't agree, right?"

The old man's worry was not without reason. The Tang family was not a small family. On the surface, it was a large family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. It was a good match for the Lu family.

Both sisters in this family married Lu Mingchi, and the Tang family lost all their face!

"Who said they are both going to marry into the family?" Lu Mingchi lightly kicked the old man:

"You guys, you've been with me for so long, but you haven't made any progress. You can only do stupid things!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man was kicked, but it didn't hurt! He immediately knew that his master was in a good mood, so he asked boldly:

"Doesn't the master want to marry Tang Zhongyi?"

"What's the point of marrying her? A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. The Tang family will end up in someone else's hands!" Lu Mingchi glanced at her and suddenly became angry:

"Besides, she probably still has my elder brother in her heart!"

The old man was startled and hurriedly lowered his head, holding his breath and looking like a wooden man.

After a while, Lu Mingchi chuckled: "What's the big deal? She's just a dead person, how can I make her happy? The more noble and noble a woman is, the more miserable she will be. Once she knows my good points, she will naturally be inseparable from me every day!"

"Master is wise!"

"Ning Weizhou is going to the Tang family tomorrow. Please help me prepare a delicate gift. I will also go to the Tang family to visit my fiancée!"

"Yes!"

A breeze blew past the window, and the orchids on the window sill swayed gracefully.

In the afternoon, Ning Weizhou received the case closing scroll from the county government.

The assassins last night were a group of wandering gangsters. They relied on their skills to stir up trouble everywhere. They were dealt with by the Lu family a few days ago.

So he held a grudge and upon learning that Ning Weizhou had come to Mengfeng City, he stole the guard uniforms from the Lu Mansion overnight and came to harass Ning Weizhou.

Originally, they thought that Ning Weizhou was a high-ranking official from the capital, and after harassing the Lu family, they would accuse the Lu family of a crime and reap the benefits.

Who would have thought that Ning Weizhou's men were so skilled that they were all killed!

The four survivors saw how tragically their brothers died and felt that it was the Lu family that had brought this upon them, so they insisted that they were members of the Lu family!

I just hope Ning Weizhou can avenge me!

There was a piece of paper attached to the back of the file, which was the Lu family's report from the day before yesterday, saying that the family's servants had counted the warehouse and found that dozens of sets of clothes for the guards were missing!

Now everything fits together!

"Bullshit!" Lou said concisely.

Lou Er picked up the file and threw it at the yamen runner's face: "You fooled me so well that I even doubted whether I was really a fool!"

The yamen runner smiled apologetically: "How could I fool you, my lords? We have run ourselves ragged and questioned many witnesses to come to this conclusion. Please see, my lords, these witnesses have signed their names!"

"I told you you're fat, but you're still panting?" Lou Er kicked him and said, "Do you really think your grandfather is a fool?"

The yamen runner was kicked and retreated to the door, bowing hastily: "If you don't believe me, just find someone to verify the name. I have something else to do in the yamen, so I'll take my leave now!"

Lou Er wanted to chase after him, but Ning Weizhou stopped him: "Stop chasing!"

"General, are we just going to take this loss?" Lou Er stiffened his neck in disbelief.

Ning Weizhou pointed at the files and said, "Put them all away. I'm afraid they may be needed in the future."

Lou Er picked up the file reluctantly, but heard Ning Weizhou say:

"Throw all the corpses outside at the gate of the Lu family and tell them that since these people in the underworld have a grudge against the Lu family, let the Lu family whip the corpses to vent their hatred. If they can't do it, it means that there is something else going on. Let the county government investigate further!"

When Lou Er heard this, he became happy again. He loved doing this job!

After Lou Er walked away, Lou Yi asked, "General, is this appropriate?"

In the army under Ning Weizhou's command, it is an iron rule not to insult corpses.

"Most of the people in West Shu are ruffians. They value righteousness above all else. They all know that these people are from the Lu family. Once the Lu family takes action, the other people who follow them will be disappointed! If we don't take action, this case will not be solved. I have nothing else to do, so I can use this as an excuse to bring up other things!"

It's up to the Lu family to choose whether to whip the corpse or not. We can't just make them feel disgusted and not allow others to feel disgusted in return, right?

The Lu family is indeed feeling disgusting right now, not only mentally but also physically!

A large pile of corpses were placed in front of the gate, exposed to the sun and covered in blood, which naturally attracted countless flies and insects!
