Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 72
When the news of Zhou Xinghua's death reached the capital city, all the big and small families were shocked.

Some psychics knew that the king of Chu was furious when he heard the news that night, and everyone in the palace of the king of Chu heard the roar of the king of Chu!

"Check it out, check it out for this king, a majestic sheriff would drown in the lake? Do you think others are fools?
This king must send someone to Huiyang County to investigate this matter and give an explanation to the people of Huiyang County! "

Li Yuan's roaring words in the palace were conveyed to the ears of the families intact.

That night, the news that King Chu invited Lu Changming into the palace also spread.

The eyes and ears of many forces have seen Lu Changming enter the palace.

In the lobby of the palace, the anger on Li Yuan's face hadn't dissipated. After seeing Lu Changming's arrival, he forced a smile.

"I pay my respects to Your Highness." Lu Changming saluted Li Yuan respectfully when he saw Li Yuan.

Li Yuanxu helped Lu Changming and motioned for Lu Changming to sit beside him.

"Tongzhi Lu, please get up quickly and take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Changming said goodbye and got up, and sat down after Li Yuan signaled.

On the main seat, Li Yuan asked Lu Changming in a suppressed anger tone:
"Lu Tongzhi, I hurriedly called you to the palace tonight. The king has something important to discuss with you."

"Your Highness, please tell me." Lu Changming sighed inwardly. He knew why the King of Chu called him here, and the others must also understand why the King of Chu called him here.

Li Yuan stopped suppressing his anger and stood up angrily. The anger on his face was undisguised, "Tongzhi Lu got the news that Governor Zhou Xinghua fell into the lake and died."

"Wei Chen heard about it."

"Do you think this matter is credible?" Li Yuan stared at Lu Changming angrily.

Faced with Li Yuan's angry eyes, Lu Changming didn't dare to say what he wanted to evade, so he could only bow his head and say:
"It looks odd."

Lu Changming's answer satisfied Li Yuan a bit, put away his angry eyes, sighed and came to Lu Changming, and said sincerely:

"According to the news, some people say that the three major forces attacked and killed the governor of Zhou, others said that the princess attacked and killed the governor of Zhou, and some said that the governor of Zhou encountered ghosts and gods. Now the people in Huiyang County are panicked and rumors are everywhere. If this matter is not investigated clearly , the hearts of the common people are uneasy, and this king's heart is also uneasy.

In the capital city, you and Zhifu Mo are my confidant ministers, and you are the only ones I can trust. "

Li Yuan walked to Lu Changming's side, as long as Lu Changming raised his head slightly, he could see Li Yuan's eyes full of trust.

"That's why this king wants to assign you to be the sheriff of Huiyang County temporarily, to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who is the murderer. This king will never let you go!"

"This……"

Lu Changming got up quickly, bowed his head to Li Yuan and said:
"This minister is very grateful for His Highness's trust, but he knows that his ability is limited, and he is worried that he will not be able to fulfill His Highness's entrustment and fail His Highness's high expectations. If His Highness misses the opportunity to investigate, this minister will become a sinner."

Seeing Lu Changming's refusal, Li Yuan was not angry, but smiled kindly and said:
"Lu Tongzhi, don't bother me too much. This king is also discussing with you. You don't need to answer right away. Go back and think about it first."

"This..." Lu Changming raised his head with a look of embarrassment, but when he saw Li Yuan's attitude of seeing off the guests, he sighed heavily in his heart.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Lu Changming could only resign.

"It's late at night, Lu Tongzhi has a good journey."

Li Yuan sent Lu Changming out of the lobby very kindly.

After watching Lu Changming leave, Li Yuan turned his head and said to Nangong Xiyue who was staying aside:
"Xiyue, you are going to spread a message to the outside right now, saying that the king intends to let Lu Changming take up the post of governor of Huiyang County to investigate the cause of Zhou Xinghua's death."

"Yes!"

Nangong Xiyue's eyes were as bright as the bright moon in the night sky, she nodded and left quickly.

As Lu Changming left the palace, this news spread to all places.

........................

The Lu Mansion was brightly lit, and all the high-level officials gathered together to discuss. Lu Changming had a dignified expression on the main seat, and the others also looked solemn.

"Patriarch, I think it's a good thing for the King of Chu to let us go to Huiyang County." A senior member of the Lu family agreed.

As soon as the words came out, many people agreed.

"I agree, the situation of our Lu family in the capital city is very embarrassing now. The cooperation with Mr. Ximen has already displeased the king of Chu. When King Tianchu thinks about this, there will always be trouble."

"That's right, if we go to Huiyang County, relying on our relationship with Mr. Ximen, on the condition that we help them deal with Chu Qingyan, Huiyang County will belong to our Lu family."

"We can also avenge Yuan Hua."

Everyone said one after another, and most of them agreed.

But there are also objections, and some people are still relatively sober:
"No, we will be safe and sound even if we stay in the capital, but if we go to Huiyang County, our lives will be in danger.

The three major forces dared to kill Zhou Xinghua, so wouldn't Chu Qingyan dare to attack and kill us? It's best if we don't intervene in their struggle, otherwise the Lu family will be ruined. "

"Yeah, although staying in the capital city is suppressed, it's better to be comfortable. Huiyang County is too dangerous."

Someone immediately retorted:
"If we don't intervene now, Chu Qingyan won't deal with us in the future?

Don't forget, we have already made enemies with Chu Qingyan, and we will go to Huiyang County to assist the three major forces to deal with Chu Qingyan in the end, so as to avoid future troubles. "

"But going to Huiyang County is extremely dangerous."

"Dangerous, what you do is not dangerous!"

A quarrel soon ensued.

When Lu Changming saw that everyone in the Lu family was still arguing about this matter, he was originally irritable, and a wave of anger surged up:
"Give me peace!"

Hearing Lu Changming's angry reprimand from the main seat, everyone fell silent.

"Do you think we still have the right to choose? The King of Chu has already decided to send me there. We have no choice but to go to Huiyang County."

Lu Changming knew very well why the King of Chu specially summoned him tonight to give a signal.

Let yourself go home to consider?

Ha ha!

Consider what?
Others have already considered it for themselves.

Sure enough, outside the lobby, Lu Qingyan ran in with a happy face.

"Father, Aolong has sent a message."

"Ugh!"

Lu Changming let out a long sigh.

"Those who are willing will follow me to Huiyang County, and those who are not will stay in the capital city.

In addition, take a group of young children away and hide for a while. "
