My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 109

At dawn the next day, wealthy people came to the prefect's mansion one after another.

Shangyang is not as good as Sanyang. Sanyang is mostly populated by wealthy businessmen because of its topography, while Shangyang is a county in Shangyang County. Most of the big families who have roots here are officials.

And the number is much larger than that in Sanyang County.

Several merchants came early in the morning. Compared with those officials, although these wealthy businessmen like to speculate, they are also the best at understanding formality. Normally, they would not hesitate when faced with those officials' children who should pretend to be grandsons.

Now that the official army was defeated and the Guiyi Sect was the dominant one in Shangyang County, they naturally did not want to conflict with Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan invited them. No matter whether they were willing in their hearts or not, on the surface, they did not dare to lose Lu Xuan's face.

The wealthy businessmen living in Shangyang County know how to give in better than the wealthy businessmen in Sanyang County.

"Mr. Cui, are you here too?" When it was almost noon, Cui Yuan got out of the carriage with the help of his servants. Several family heads saw Cui Yuan and hurriedly came forward to say hello.

"Well, where is Commander Lu?" Cui Yuan got off the carriage and looked around. They were all wealthy families in Shangyang County. As the initiator of this banquet, Lu Xuan, including several important officials under him, No one was seen, which made Cui Yuan a little dissatisfied.

What kind of hospitality is this?
"I don't know, I didn't see anyone when I came here, just a few attendants greeting guests." A middle-aged man who picked up Cui Yuan complained: "I heard that this Lu Xuan is also a person, how can he not be polite at all?" Don’t understand? I’ll just wait. Mr. Cui is here in person. Even if Lu Xuan doesn’t come out to greet you in person, he should send a decent person to greet you. This matter is causing trouble..."

"Hey, everyone is an important person, he's just a country boy." Another middle-aged man glanced carefully at the guard guarding the door in the distance and chuckled.

"Yes, a villager is a villager. I thought there would be something new today, but now it seems that my expectations were in vain."

"It's better for everyone to be careful." Cui Yuan took the crutch from the servant and said, "The guest can do as he pleases."

Cui Yuan had said so, and it was hard for others to say anything. Cui Yuan entered the banquet hall surrounded by stars like the moon.

Lu Xuan did not arrange seats, but everyone present was acquaintances. They quickly arranged seats according to their status and sat down separately.

"The Commander-in-Chief is here!" After a while, Lu Xuan led Yang Chong out of the inner hall.

"Everyone is polite, Lu Xuan, this should be regarded as a formal meeting with you. I am from a humble background, and I am not familiar with etiquette. I will forgive my rudeness!" Lu Xuan hugged his fists to everyone, and sat down with a smile.

"The Commander-in-Chief's words are serious. The right way is to be respected regardless of one's origin. The Commander-in-Chief has achieved what he has achieved at a young age. Looking at the past and present, how many people can achieve this?" The person who spoke was the one who told Cui Yuan before that Lu Xuan was the villager. The middle-aged man who married me had a sincere face at the moment, and there was no trace of ridicule at all.

"Yes, Commander Lu has repeatedly defeated more with less. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a famous general in the world. Now, at first glance, he is not as rough as ordinary generals. He has quite a bit of morale. If he is willing to study hard, he may not be able to use it. After a while, you will be a rare all-rounder in both civil and military affairs!"

"Haha, this is really serious. Lu could not help himself to get to where he is today. Everyone, have a cup of tea!" Lu Xuan glanced at a few empty seats and said with a smile, "We haven't even arrived yet. Please wait for a moment."

"This..." Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other silently and said nothing.

The time set by Lu Xuan is not far away now. If he doesn't come at this time, he probably won't come.

However, no one said a word to remind them, not to mention the compliments they just said, but deep down in their hearts, they wished Lu Xuan was making a joke, and they were also happy to see how it would end if Lu Xuan didn't come to the stage.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lu Xuan drank tea leisurely. The time for tea passed, and the time set by Lu Xuan also came.

"It seems...it won't come!" Lu Xuan shook his head regretfully.

"Forgive me, Commander Lu. Maybe there is something that delayed me. If I wait a little longer, I might come." A family head said with a smile.

"No wait, Yang Chong!" Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled.

"The general is here!" Yang Chong strode out of the hall and saluted Lu Xuan with a cupped fist.

"Go and invite someone. If you're not here, remember it clearly. Don't invite the wrong person!" Lu Xuan pointed to the empty seats, looked at Yang Chong and said with a smile.

"Yes!" Yang Chong agreed, turned and left.

Soon, dense footsteps came from outside the courtyard, which was clearly the posture of soldiers and horses dispatched.

The expressions of everyone present could not help but change.

Many people subconsciously stood up and wanted to leave the table, but unexpectedly, a group of fierce rebels appeared outside the door and blocked their way.

"Don't be anxious, everyone. Today's dish will make you happy!" Lu Xuan ordered the empty tea cup and turned to look at the maid beside him.

The maid quickly served Lu Xuan tea.

"Commander Commander, I wonder what this means?" Cui Yuan thought of what Lu Xuan did after breaking the city, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. He looked at Lu Xuan and asked.

"It's nothing. There may be traitors to the imperial court here. Let's clear them out!" Lu Xuan waited for the tea to be filled, picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "This tea is good, old gentleman, drink more."

The imperial court is against the party?

How did you connect these two words?
Everyone present was speechless, but no one was in the mood to correct this statement now. Looking at the smiling Lu Xuan in the main seat, everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts.

I thought that this time, like before, it was a discussion about profit distribution. They had already given Lu Xuan some power. The next step was how Lu Xuan chose. No matter whether Lu Xuan had a tough attitude or a soft attitude, there was a way to deal with it. Policy.

But Lu Xuan didn't seem ready to follow the previous path.

It's not that I haven't thought about this possibility, but the attitude of the person sent to deliver the invitation last night was so good that he was almost humble, making everyone think that Lu Xuan was about to give in!
Time passed like this bit by bit, and the sound of fighting could be heard faintly in the city, making the heads of the houses here look even more ugly.Cui Yuan frowned and looked at Lu Xuan, and suddenly said: "Director Lu is very calculating. He summoned us here just to make it easier to do it, right?"

There are many officials in Shangyang County, and there are many retinues in the family. If they really unite, if Lu Xuan makes such a move, everyone will die, and there will definitely be a fierce battle.

Now most of the wealthy gentry have been invited here by Lu Xuan. Without them, no one in the family has made the decision. Even if there is chaos in the city, considering that they are here, Lu Xuan will still take action. In this way, Lu Xuan can easily cut off some of the wealthy gentry in the city. strength.

After these forces are dealt with, even if the remaining people gather together, Lu Xuan will be able to defeat them individually.

"You understand, what do you call the old gentleman?" Lu Xuan put down the tea cup and looked at Cui Yuandao with some surprise.

"I, Cui Yuan." Cui Yuan took a deep breath and said.

"Ms. Cui, I thought the old gentleman wouldn't come." Lu Xuan nodded with some regret.

Cui Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Lu Xuan and said: "Commander Lu is not an ordinary reckless man. You should understand that the toughest things can be easily broken."

"I understand, I understand very well." Lu Xuan nodded and said, "But everyone who has rebelled knows that there is no tomorrow in this business. Since there is no tomorrow, why should we compromise?"

Lu Xuan's words silenced everyone present.

Everyone who has rebelled against God knows it, but even those who have not rebelled know it, okay?
But this idea is very clear. I have never thought about tomorrow, so when I am here, you have to follow my rules.

Even though Cui Yuan was full of knowledge, he couldn't refute Lu Xuan's unreasonable logic at this moment.

The sounds of fighting in the city slowly subsided, and it was not until dusk that Yang Chong came back with a large number of people under escort.

"Commander Commander, there are seventeen families in total, of which the Bai family has been wiped out. The remaining sixteen families are all here, waiting for the Commander-in-Chief to send him down!" Yang Chong cupped his fists and saluted.

"Kill them all!" Lu Xuan waved his hand and said without looking further.

"Yes!" Yang Chong's face flashed with evil spirit, and with a wave of his hand, the captured family members of the wealthy families were pressed down in rows in the courtyard of the prefect's mansion, and a nominal soldier raised his blade.

"Director Lu, we realize our mistake, please show mercy to Commander Lu!"

Off the field, a group of wealthy people were wailing and begging for mercy, while Lu Xuan just drank his tea quietly.

"cut!"

Yang Chong gave an order, and a large number of heads fell to the ground. The wails suddenly stopped, and everyone in the lobby turned pale.

The whole family is being executed!
For those of them who had already mastered local privileges, the word was too unfamiliar.

I have only heard of a big family being wiped out, but when have you ever heard of a big family being wiped out?

I saw it today, and sixteen families were wiped out at once, no, seventeen families. The Bai family was wiped out without even coming.

Even if they knew that this was Lu Xuan's threat to them, all the Shangyang celebrities present still looked like earth and their bodies were like chaff.

"Okay, let's deal with it without giving face. Let's talk about the business." Lu Xuan waved his hand and motioned for his men to clean up the body. He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This is the first time that my Guiyi Sect has occupied Shangyang. The county came with good intentions, but just a few days ago, our Guiyi brothers entered the city and 34 of them were poisoned to death in one night!"

At this point, the smile on Lu Xuan's face gradually faded: "My brothers followed me through life and death. We finally won this battle and could live a good life for a few days, but they lost their lives here inexplicably. As a Commander, I feel that I have an obligation to help them seek justice!"

"This..." A family head's lips were a little dry and he looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Commander Commander, this matter has nothing to do with us. It must have been caused by a villain. Don't worry Commander Commander..."

Lu Xuan interrupted the head of the family, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we are not good at investigating cases. We are not here to solve the case when we are called here today."

With that said, Lu Xuan stood up and handed Lu Xuan the lottery tube prepared in advance by San Dao.

Lu Xuan looked at these family heads and said: "I know that this matter must be closely related to everyone here, but I don't know who it is, and I don't want to know. I just need someone to pay for my brother's life! No! Is that too much?"

Many people looked at the blood sacrifice outside that was still dry. Aren't these enough?

"Don't look at the outside. I have just arrived and invited you to discuss things. If you don't come, you will be my enemy. This kind of scum, no matter whether he is involved in this matter or not, there is no need to live!" Lu Xuandao: "The lives of us are cheap. , just count ten people as one family, 34 people, I will round up to give you a whole number, count five families, wipe out five families, let this matter be over, Lu will not pursue you for this matter again. "

Everyone looked even uglier.

Five?

Of all the people here, which one is not one with hundreds of people? Also, if ten people are considered one family, how can 34 people be counted as five families? What is the rounding algorithm?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Xuan raised the lottery tube in his hand and said with a smile: "The numbers here correspond to the number of everyone. Five of them are the top ones. The one who is drawn is the one who will destroy the family. After I finish speaking, everyone agrees. how?"

"The Commander-in-Chief is also a hero for a while, how can he do such an unjust thing!?" Cui Yuan took a deep breath, stood up and looked at Lu Xuan and said: "I will guarantee with my life that the murderer of this matter will be found within one day and I will ask the Commander-in-Chief to take back his life." !”

"What Mr. Cui said is right, then Mr. Cui will hand out the lot." Lu Xuan put the lot in front of Cui Yuan, looked at him and said: "Don't make any nonsense with me. I am a vulgar martial artist, or You're a rebel, your principles are of no use to me!"

After speaking, Lu Xuan sat back on the main seat, glanced at Cui Yuan who was motionless, took out five copper coins from his arms, and said with a smile: "Last time I came here, I played a game with Zhou Ji. Throw the copper coins out, and the coins will fall. Whoever is in front of him will die, if Mr. Cui insists on refusing, then let’s just play with this.”

As he said that, he tipped the copper coins in his hands and looked at Cui Yuandao: "Mr. Cui, let's make a decision. It's getting late. Everyone may not be able to eat the food I have here. Don't waste your time!"
