The king will never go to court

Chapter 162 Chapter 161: Receiving Gifts First
Outside the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion, there are still masons coming in and out. The main reason for these people to go through the main entrance is that they are relatively close to Crescent Moon Lake.

King Wu didn't pay too much attention, so everyone was more casual.

How fast, how come.

But the officials outside can see a black thread, when did they end up with these lowly mud legs.

Now they actually want to be in the same place with them, they are kneeling, and the masons keep coming and going in and out in front of them, and they are also moving all kinds of masonry, beams and logs needed for construction.

It was an unbelievable thing before, but it really happened in front of everyone's eyes. These Beijing officials did not expect that King Wu would let these masons go the right way.

Petitions from many officials came one after another, and those officials who came to visit could only send their housekeepers who rarely left the mansion to guard the gate of King Wu's mansion, hoping to meet His Highness King Wu.

Not long after, Lu Zhongliang, dressed in light blue brocade, walked out of the mansion with steady steps, and glanced coldly at the kneeling officials, "Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who dares to make noise outside the gate of the mansion will be killed immediately!"

Then, two trembling masons walked out. They still held the thick tree trunk with their arms taken out from the construction site, and the bark had been torn off.

"Sigh~~"

Everyone looked at Lu Zhongliang at the gate of the mansion, and the two masons behind him.

The officials kneeling outside the mansion gate looked sad and indignant, while the officials sitting in the carriage frowned.

No one expected that even Kou Que would not receive such treatment.No one thought that King Wu would do this!

The originally noisy voices instantly quieted down.

"We want to see His Highness King Wu, you can't beat the officials!" one of the officials shouted loudly.

When the crowd was raging, those who did not believe in the Wu Palace dared to beat the courtiers in front of many officials.

However, the officials present were stunned on the spot the next moment.

Lu Zhongliang sucked the palm of his hand, and the official who spoke loudly just now tried to incite everyone present, but was directly locked by the throat and carried in mid-air.

The whole face turned red in an instant, the blood was used on the top of the head, and the feet kept kicking in the air, but there was nothing to do.

"Let go." The officer whose throat was locked was speechless at all, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of horror.

Lu Zhongliang retracted his arms slightly, and the official whose throat was locked in the void was dragged directly to the bottom of the stone steps of the mansion gate, "Hit directly!"

"Yes!"

The two masons came to the official with trembling bodies. They raised the wooden sticks in their hands, but just as they were raised, the official kicked them back with a look.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhongliang scratched his forehead helplessly. If the other guards were not in seclusion, he would not have called two clever craftsmen to come.

It seems that outsiders should not be trusted, especially these ordinary people, once they meet officials, they will be scared out of their wits first.

"How dare you threaten him!" Lu Zhongliang slapped down his right hand, and a tyrannical coercion instantly crushed the official so that he couldn't breathe, and he stuck to the ground tightly without moving.

"Not yet?"

"Yes, yes." The two masons hurriedly waved the wooden sticks in their hands, just knocking randomly, not as pleasing to the eye as the imperial court.

The official was wrapped in a cloud of breath, and he couldn't make a sound at all. Everyone could only hear the sound of flesh and blood.

Looking at the blood-colored official robes in front of him, he felt a little scared, if he didn't hope that he could take over the man of Wu Wangfu for a long time.

The two masons didn't dare to agree. They looked at the dying officials at their feet, and then looked back at Lu Zhongliang of Wu Wangfu.

Seems to be asking if it's ok?
"Continue to fight!" Lu Zhongliang straightened his back and quietly looked at a certain kind of official kneeling outside the gate of the mansion. Hot sweat broke out on his forehead, some of them were exposed to the scorching sun, and some of them were frightened.

His Majesty the Emperor hadn't used the court staff for many years, and today they saw a simplified version of the court staff outside Wu Wang's mansion.

In less than half a stick of incense, the news that the official was beaten to death in front of Wu Wang's mansion spread throughout the mansions of all the officials in the capital.

The officials kneeling at the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion also pretended to be unconscious and were carried away by their servants. In less than an hour, more than half of the crowd had left.

There are also a few young and energetic officials kneeling on the ground, but without the original anger, they are silently protesting.

"It seems that I still don't give up!" Lu Zhongliang didn't care about the remaining people, as long as they stopped insulting the prince, he could do anything else.

On the other side, several officials and stewards of the inner government came forward to have a chat.

"My lord knows why you are here." Lu Zhongliang chatted politely with the dozen or so people in front of him, and took the gift list handed over by a steward. After a rough look, his eyes almost fell out. Fortunately, as a warrior, he was determined. not bad.

A man in brocade clothes sitting in the carriage nodded in satisfaction, and finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart, "As long as you are willing to accept it, it will prove that there is still something to talk about."

"This gift, our prince will accept it first."

Hearing that Lu Zhongliang was willing to accept the gift, and said in front of everyone that the prince accepted it, the steward's heart was relieved, and he smiled very familiarly, "Thank you, my lord. I'm the Ministry of Rites. This is a greeting card from Mr. Wang's family."

Looking at the greeting card handed over by the steward, Lu Zhongliang just glanced at it casually to know who the other party was, and then accepted the greeting card together. "I already know what your lord means, and I will truthfully report it to the prince. Please go back first."

The steward looked at Lu Zhongliang nervously, keeping an eye on the expression on the other's face, not daring to miss any slight change in expression.

"Then thank you, sir, and I will take my leave first."

Immediately, he bowed again and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.With a smile on his face, he walked quickly to his lord's carriage.

Seeing how easy it is to give gifts, the stewards gathered around the gate of the mansion rushed forward one after another, hoping to get on the line of King Wu as soon as possible.

"Your family." Lu Zhongliang found no precious grass or anything related to heaven, material and earth treasures in the gift list, and returned the gift list to a steward, "I'm afraid the prince doesn't like this gift."

Naturally, Lu Zhongliang didn't say clearly that the prince only wanted precious grasses and natural materials and earthly treasures.

But when sifting through the gifts from various families, we still only accepted those gifts that included rare grasses and treasures of heaven and earth.After all, in Lu Zhongliang's eyes, the relationship between Prince Wu's Mansion is not so easy to talk to.

After Xie Wufeng returned to the capital, he wanted to send someone to contact the Anyang Marquis Mansion, but he did not expect that the Anyang Marquis Mansion in Kyoto had already been emptied.

It is estimated that when Li Daozong got his hint, he ordered people to dismiss all the people in the capital.

At present, Anyang Prefecture should still have powerful Forbidden Army lurking in the dark, but after Li Daozong leads the private soldiers to rest, there will definitely be a new scene.

After working for more than an hour, Lu Zhongliang took two masons and moved all the gifts back to the newly built warehouse by the Crescent Lake.
