Chapter 325 Strength is the foundation

Since giving up the mansion to Li You to live, Lu Binqian took his family to the other courtyard. There were still many guests in the first few months, but since Li You set the target of the first attack as Qingkou where Zhou, Huang and He Sanjia were located, the carriages and horses in front of the door suddenly became sparse. In the past few days, there were only servants guarding the door at the door.

Lu Binqian's study was once a storm for deciding Yunzhou affairs, but at this time he was left with only himself and a few confidants of the Lu family, and the scenery of the past was gone. Everyone present was silent and there was always someone who wanted to say a few words, but when Lu Binqian's dead face closed his mouth and lowered his head.

"Is there any news coming from Beijing?" Lu Binqian placed all his last hope on finding old friends in the court to help him, but the news had been sent for a long time, but he had not received any reply.

But he didn't know that there were more powerful forces in the court that had begun to operate. Wang Ji wanted to make contributions to the position of Tongzhi of Yunzhou. With the strength of the Wang family of Langya, who would impeach Li You who controlled the military power of Yunzhou at this time? If he left, how could Wang Ji make contributions? It would be great to be able to save his life. For a magistrate who retired and returned home, these people were not crazy about being so crazy as the Wang family of Langya.

"No." Lu Liding, the son of Lu Binqian, replied in a low voice. He was not good at studying since childhood. He relied on his family's power to become a scholar and gave up his plan to continue the imperial examination. He has never been liked by Lu Binqian. Seeing Lu Binqian's face sinking, he quickly added, "I heard that the court is going to replace Yunzhou Tongzhi!"

If it were earlier, such news would have reached them immediately, but now both the government and the gentry have deliberately distanced themselves from them, so Lu Liding only got the belated news after many days, "I heard that the disciples of the Wang family of Langya are coming this time. Recently, the aristocratic families have suppressed the nobles. As long as we wait until the new tutor takes office, we may be able to regain our prestige." He at least knew the overall situation of the government.

"We are thousands of miles away from the capital to Yunzhou. We don't know if we can wait until then!" Lu Binqian put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If he were Li You, he would definitely deal with him before Wang Ji took office.

"Father, you are from a Jinshi. Could it be that Li You dares to attack you?" Lu Liding was used to being arrogant in Yunzhou. He had long regarded Lu Binqian, who passed the Jinshi exam and became a prefect, and he still couldn't believe that there were still people in Yunzhou who dared to attack their Lu family.

"This is one time and another!" Lu Binqian also deeply regretted that if he had not been reluctant to give up the money and food at home that day, and was afraid that the amount he gave would likely lead to dissatisfaction among civil servants. He thought that he had colluded with the nobles, he would not have given Li You only the little money and food. Unexpectedly, the wise move at the time became the rope for life today.

Now the Hunyuan Sect rebels gathered more than 10,000 people to attack Yunzhou Prefecture City. The safety of Yunzhou Prefecture City was entrusted to Li You. From the prefecture to the gentry, everything dared to obey his requests. If he wanted to deal with himself, no one would dare to stand up and speak for him, just like the Lu family in the past that they used to seize other people's property.

And maybe these people are also thinking about how to allocate the land and property that belonged to him after the Lu family collapsed; perhaps there is still a way out for all the family wealth to be spent now? Lu Binqian suddenly thought that it was all accumulated by himself for decades. When he thought of the wealth he had finally obtained, he was going to leave him, Lu Binqian felt extremely heartbroken.

"After waiting for a long time, you are cautious in your words and actions, and you are not allowed to go out. Instruct the servants to take good care of the yard and not have any misses. You can take a trip in person and take a few guards to ride the best horses to find the new Tongzhi; one person and two horses, travel day and night, be sure to see Wang Tongzhi as soon as possible." Lu Binqian was reluctant to leave these property after all, and he placed his hope on Li You not daring to take his life. Wang's chance to restore his innocence. As the largest gentry in Yunzhou, he is always of some use to the new Tongzhi?

Lu Liding went out with a bitter face. For a spoiled person like him, it was a matter of life to travel day and night, but his father's life was unavoidable. He could only hope that Wang Tongzhi could go faster so that he could save some effort. Now it was time for the Lu family to survive and die. Lu Binqian prepared the best fast horse for Lu Liding, sufficient silver and dry food, and set off that day.

Recently, because the Hunyuan Sect is gradually approaching, all the city gates in Yunzhou have stepped up investigations. Although the Lu family has shown signs of decline, it is still a very easy task to deal with some guard soldiers. They threw two pieces of silver over, and the guardian army nodded and bowed to send Lu Liding out of the city.

Unfortunately, before these soldiers were happy for a long time, a group of soldiers rushed over and snatched his broken silver. "Where did this come from?"

"Is it my own?" the guardian said tremblingly.

"I'm not telling the truth, I really don't cry until I see the coffin! Beat me!" Zhou Bofu snorted coldly, "Magistrate Wei asked you to guard the city gate and beware of the spies in Hunyuan Sect. That's how you do it? Tell me, why should he give you money?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers like wolves and tigers pounced on him, and it was easy to fight. The people next to him were also affected by the fish. All the troops guarding the city gate were caught and beaten by Zhou Bofu.

These government troops are all sloppy guys. They are good at bullying ordinary people on weekdays. When they meet a fierce man like Zhou Bofu, they will not be responsible for it. After a few hits, they rushed to confess. "Young Master Lu waited for me to wait for the money to let me let him go out of the city earlier. I know I am wrong!"

"Do you check their luggage?" Zhou Bofu asked, pinching the mansion's neck and lifting him up with one hand.

"Little little, little." The man's face turned red, and he could only hold these words out.

"At this time, I was in a hurry to leave the city and didn't dare to check my luggage. There must be a fraud. Maybe I'll just go to inform the Hunyuan Sect." Zhou Bofu directly put on a big hat, "Take all these people away and inform the camp to send cavalry to catch these people back."

A regiment trainer took the order and left. Soon a team of cavalry rushed out of the Yunzhou camp and followed the direction where Lu Liding had just disappeared. Lu Liding, who was unaware, did not escape the pursuit of the cavalry. He was caught less than an hour after leaving the city. He tied up his face with Qinghong, obviously he was beaten up, and these people took them directly to the Yunzhou lobby. (To be continued.)
