People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 226

"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

In the Qianqing Palace, as soon as he saw Zhu Youxiao on the dragon throne, Lu Xiaofeng immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Yes, you are guilty. You took my fifth brother to the desert without my permission."

Looking at the kneeling Lu Xiaofeng, Zhu Youxiao's tone was calm, but those who knew him knew that it was precisely this calmness that showed that he had been furious to the extreme.

"Others don't know the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, but you, Lu Xiaofeng, don't you know it? If my fifth brother really has any problems, you, Lu Xiaofeng, will be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, and even dying ten thousand times is not enough!"

At the end, Zhu Youxiao almost couldn't suppress his anger, and Lu Xiaofeng just continued to kneel, not even daring to raise his head.

Perhaps he had vented enough, Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath after a long time, "Forget it, I am not that kind of ruthless person. For the sake of my fifth brother, and because your Lu family has devoted themselves to the Ming Dynasty for so many years, I will let you go this time, but you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living crime. Go down and accept the punishment yourself!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing that he didn't have to die, Lu Xiaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed several times before retreating.

"Come here!"

After Lu Xiaofeng retreated, Zhu Youxiao called to the corner.

"Your Majesty!"

The person hiding in the dark appeared and said respectfully.

"Go, tell Wang Qingjia not to stay in Nanzhili, I have something to tell him to do!"

"Your Majesty!"

The man in black hurriedly retreated after receiving the order. As for Wang Qingjia mentioned by Tianqi, he was naturally the eunuch guarding Nanjing now, the former seal of the Imperial Horse Administration, and the governor of the Western Factory - Wang Zhi!

Compared to Wei Zhongxian of the East Factory who only framed innocent people, Wang Zhi of the West Factory was an expert in this area. No one could escape as long as he targeted them, and the evidence was conclusive and speechless.

After the black-clothed man withdrew, Zhu Youxiao, who was already pale, began to cough violently. After a long while, he suddenly said to the air: "Senior, how much time do I have left?"

As Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, a man's voice came from the hall, "One year!"

Zhu Youxiao's face turned even paler, "One year? It's enough. Let me clear all obstacles for my fifth brother in the last time."

However, after being punished, Lu Xiaofeng did not leave the palace immediately, but went directly to the depths of the worship hall to meet the ancestor of the Lu family-Lu Bing.

Huaji Restaurant.

Nearing midnight, there was still no sign of Lu Xiaofeng, which made Xue Bing a little worried, especially after knowing Lu Xiaofeng's true identity, she was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

Wu Yu was not worried at all, "Don't worry, Miss Xue, if Brother Lu really had something wrong, I'm afraid we wouldn't be here now, but in jail."

You have to know that Wu Yu knew Lu Xiaofeng's true identity earlier than Xue Bing. If Lu Xiaofeng really had something wrong, none of them would be able to escape, and they would all be imprisoned as accomplices. Now that they are still fine, it means that Lu Xiaofeng is fine.

Hua Manlou on the side also agreed. Although he didn't know Lu Xiaofeng's specific identity, he could roughly guess one or two. Judging from the fact that he entered and exited the palace freely again and again, he must have a close relationship with the one in the palace.

Wang Yuyan, who didn't know why, also comforted her, "Yes, Sister Xue, you have to believe in Mr. Lu. If there is really danger, he will definitely try to notify us to leave the capital first."

Faced with the three people's earnest persuasion, Xue Bing calmed down temporarily, but soon she thought of something and stared at Wu Yu.

"Um, Miss Xue, is there something on my face?"

Seeing Xue Bing looking at him so seriously, Wu Yu was a little confused for a moment, and even the other two were confused.

Xue Bing said to Wu Yu solemnly: "Mr. Wu, I hope you can promise me one thing!"

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

"Don't worry, this may be difficult for others, but it's just a matter of words for Mr. Wu. I hope Mr. Wu will spare Lu Xiaofeng's life no matter what happens in the future."

Not only Wu Yu, but also the two people beside him were confused when these words came out.

Did Xue Bing misunderstand something, or did she hope that she could rescue Lu Xiaofeng from prison when he was in danger?

"Don't worry, Miss Xue. If there really comes a day like that, I will rescue Brother Lu."

"That's good. I hope Mr. Wu will keep his word!"

After receiving Wu Yu's promise, Xue Bing finally put her mind at ease. Now she no longer has to worry about Lu Xiaofeng dying. Although he may suffer some torture at that time, at least he can still be alive, right?

Just as the four people were thinking about their ownAt this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the gate. Everyone turned their heads. Who else could it be but Lu Xiaofeng?

However, his face was terribly pale and his breath was much weaker. Although he had changed his clothes, the always sensitive Hua Manlou still smelled a trace of blood on him. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Lu Xiaofeng!"

After seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was still alive, Xue Bing didn't care that there were other people around him, and he flew into his arms.

The latter was embarrassed. After a long time, he estimated that Xue Bing's emotions were almost stable, so he comforted him: "Okay, it's okay now!"

After a long while, Xue Bing let him go, and then began to look at him all over, and finally smelled the blood like Hua Manlou.

Thinking of this, Xue Bing felt even more distressed, and finally turned around and stared at Wu Yu with a face full of resentment, which made the latter even more puzzled.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wu, Lao Hua, and Miss Wang, I made you worry. This is Lu's fault!"

"I'm glad that you're okay. It's late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Everyone nodded when they heard it. Lu Xiaofeng also said, "Then let's rest first. It just so happens that the palace has ordered the lifting of martial law. The capital will be restored tomorrow. Then I will take you to have a good look around the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

"Then it's settled!"

To be honest, Wu Yu was also quite curious about Beijing at this time. Now that he had Lu Xiaofeng as a tour guide, he could take a good look at how the life of people in Beijing at the end of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of later generations, except for some ancient buildings.

Of course, it would be even better if he could go to the Jiaofangsi. After all, he was still very curious about such a management agency that was once only responsible for managing court music but later gradually evolved into an official brothel.

Yes, just curious, that's all, don't think too much.
