Movements from all sides

Wenfu.

In the study, Wen Songtao and his son also had solemn faces.

"Father, this time the Prime Minister is obviously determined to deal with the Lu family."

"Although Uncle Lu was kind to you back then, we have also helped the Lu family a lot over the years. What happened this time is extraordinary."

"How about we stop getting involved."

Although Wenxuan also wanted to help the Lu family, this would be the disaster of annihilation. At this time, the family's survival would be far more important than the past kindness.

"madness."

Wen Songtao snorted coldly and glared at Wenxuan.

"Who do you think Gao Yanming is?"

"You are a dignified Prime Minister, why do you need to bother so much when dealing with a Lu family?"

The Lu family is just a businessman. Even with his second son looking after him, it would be easy for the forces behind Gao Yanming to destroy the Lu family silently.

Do you deserve to go to the court with such trouble?

"You mean, he has a back-up plan?"

"Your Majesty cut off both of his arms. Is he actually the one who suffered the loss?"

Hearing this, Wenxuan's expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, he wants to drag his second brother into the water with him?"

For the development of the Lu family in Jiangdong over the years, his second brother Wenhao, the prefect of Jiangdong, has helped a lot overtly and covertly.

Now that the Lu family is suspected of treason, how can Wen Hao, who helped the Lu family, not be implicated?

"I've told you many times."

"When you are in a high position, you have to broaden your horizons. Don't just focus on the crises on the surface. The crises in the dark are more deadly."

"As for today's matter, you only wanted to clear up the relationship with the Lu family, but you ignored the whereabouts of your second brother."

"Can you clear it up?"

Wenxuan lowered his head in shame.

"Also, when you were very young, I always told you that if it weren't for your Uncle Lu, I wouldn't be here today."

"My Wen family does not do anything ungrateful."

"Besides, we cannot avoid this incident. Helping the Lu family will not only make us feel at ease, but also let others have confidence in our Wen family."

"Do you understand?"

Wenxuan is not a fool, he just cares too much about the Wen family and does not want to see the Wen family suffer the slightest crisis.

Now being awakened by Wen Songtao, his selfishness disappeared and his mind suddenly became active.

Indeed, they are not the only ones in the Wen family.

There were many courtiers following them below.

When the benefactor is about to die again, if they do not help, but instead try to escape, how will the people below treat them?

If people's hearts are broken, the Wen family's status with His Majesty will inevitably plummet.

By then, the situation of the Wen family will probably be even more dangerous than that of the Lu family now.

"Thank you father for your teaching. It was my son who got distracted."

Seeing that he wanted to understand, Wen Songtao nodded with satisfaction.

"Father, since we want to help the Lu family, why didn't you say anything to me this morning?"

"People have irrefutable evidence, but we are too passive. If we talk too much at this time, we will be wrong."

"Besides, haven't you seen His Majesty's attitude?"

"Your Majesty's attitude?"

Wenxuan showed a look of memory, and then his eyes lit up.

"Are you saying that His Majesty does not believe that the Lu family will commit treason?"

"Believe it or not, who knows?"

Wen Songtao shook his head and continued, "But as of now, His Majesty does not intend to develop in accordance with Gao Yanming's expectations."

Treason is a heinous crime. In the past, His Majesty would have resolutely ordered the house to be raided even if there was only a little bit of superficial and far-fetched evidence.

However, today, His Majesty was not angry. Instead, he arranged for his own people to go to Jiangdong in person to capture the Lu family members and bring them to Beijing for examination.

Lu Yaoyao and Lu Kang in the capital did not mention it at all.

Such an action actually had the intention of protecting the Lu family through arrest.

"In that case, should we do something?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait and see. Under the current situation, it's best to keep things unchanged in the face of any changes."

"Besides."

Having said this, Wen Songtao paused and smiled somewhat meaningfully.

"Not all of the Lu family are lambs to be slaughtered."

"Oh? Is there anyone else in the Lu family who is talented?"

Wenxuan looked surprised.

Hearing this, Wen Songtao just smiled and said nothing.

"Miss, when Heiyun Shou comes to Beijing, should we attack the Gao family directly?"

As soon as Qiu Yu said these words, Qiu Shuang beside her raised her forehead and shook her head.

Lu Yaoyao beside him was also dumbfounded.

"What about after the Gao family is destroyed?"

Qiu Yu was startled, she didn't think about this.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Shuang knew that she had not considered this issue at all.

"If you don't like being a brain, just talk less. Do you think it's so easy to break into the Gao family?"

"Where do you think the capital is?"

In the important area of ​​​​Gyeonggi, there are tens of thousands of troops in the western suburbs camp outside, the Imperial City Guards inside, and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

The total number of people inside and outside was at least a hundred thousand.

What about Black Cloud Hunter?

There are only five hundred people in total, and each one of them is very strong, and they also have various powerful equipment carefully equipped by Lu Yaoyao.

But facing an army of 100,000, they can only be crushed.

"Not everything needs to be fought or killed."

"I asked Heiyun Shou to come to Beijing to plan for the worst possible outcome."

"I have other ways to deal with the Gao family."

She spent a lot of energy cultivating each of the Black Cloud Hunters, and she would not send them all into danger unless absolutely necessary.

"Oh? What are you going to do, Miss?"

"Who is standing behind the Gao family?"

Lu Yaoyao asked back.

"Everyone knows this, isn't it the major noble families?"

"Then why can the nobles become the backing of the Gao family?"

Qiu Yu pondered for a moment and continued, "They control most of the country's economy and land."

"They also relied on paper and book printing to win over most of the literati in the world."

Qiu Shuang on the side also added.

"right."

"Then who do you think you dislike them the most?"

Lu Yaoyao smiled and continued to ask.

"Of course it goes without saying that he is the emperor."

Qiu Shuang seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Lu Yaoyao and asked, "Miss, you don't want to attack the nobles, do you?"

"Qiu Shuang, find a way for our people to contact His Highness the First Prince and send him a message. I will wait for him at Baizhen Tower at noon tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qiu Shuang nodded, turned around and walked out.
