My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 239: The picture shows the dagger

"Is this what the general means?" Lu Chao looked at Lu Fengxian with complicated eyes.

"If you want to avoid disaster, you should stay away." Lu Xuan took a sip of wine and nodded slightly.

"Why did the general help me?" Lu Chao was a little confused. Although he looked friendly, he actually had no friendship with Lu Fengxian at all, and he couldn't understand why the other party wanted to help him.

Lu Xuan looked at the sunset on the horizon and said casually: "Just think of it as being entrusted by others."

"Entrusted by someone?" Lu Chao's mind flashed to the idea of ​​someone who might have such ability in his short life. In Tiandu, he didn't know many people, and the most important one was his teacher, but the teacher seemed to have Without this face, it would be impossible to establish friendship with Lu Fengxian, who else could he have?

A thought flashed through Lu Chao's mind. Originally, this thought should not have occurred, but looking at Lu Fengxian's recent performance, what he did did not benefit him in any way. If he was not careful, he would even get into trouble, let alone benefit. , but if he had another identity, then what he did would make sense.

It’s just...how is this possible! ?

"Yes..." Lu Chao opened his mouth and wanted to ask about his guess, but was interrupted by Lu Fengxian.

"Don't ask more. When it's time for you to know, I will let you know and do what you want to do." Lu Xuan made a silent gesture, looked at Lu Chao and smiled.

Lu Chao silently saluted Lu Fengxian: "Thank you so much, General. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

"Get ready to hit the road." Lu Fengxian nodded.

Lu Chao took out a roll of jade slips from his arms and handed it to Lu Fengxian with both hands.

"What is it?" Lu Xuan took the jade slip and looked at it for a moment. It should be the same type of magic weapon as the jade slip in Si Kui's hand.

"This is a gift from my master. If the general wants to say anything to his master, he can write it directly on this jade slip. If his master has something to say, he will also write it on this jade slip. The general only needs to put a drop of blood on it, and there will be words If you say that, you will feel it in your heart." Lu Chao bowed.

This was the result of his discussion with Li Xinian after Lu Fengxian asked him for a life before. Lu Chao was going to be transferred. It was impossible for Lu Fengxian to have contact with Li Xinian, and it was even better not to meet him. If there was anything to contact him, this was the best way to contact him. OK

"Yes, I understand." Lu Fengxian put away the jade slips, but what he was thinking about was whether this thing could be mass-produced at a lower cost? I heard from Si Kui that it is not easy to make this thing. Not only do you need to have the means to refine it, but you also need to have enough Confucianism and Taoism to do it. The jade used is also a special spiritual jade. Ordinary jade will not work, and the validity period is not long. The spiritual energy inside It cannot be used once it is used up. How long it can be used depends entirely on the spiritual energy content in the spiritual jade and the frequency of use.

"Farewell!" Lu Chao bowed to Lu Fengxian, then turned and left. He did not go to see Li Xinian again. He had already said what needed to be said, and there was no way he could stay and play with Li Xinian.

Lu Fengxian watched him leave, sitting on the recliner, watching the sunset. When night fell, under the faint blue light, the entire Lu family was like a ghost land.

The Confucian Qingqi thing is a bit like the underworld!

In the following days, Lu Fengxian's life continued as usual. Every day he was either supervising the training of the soldiers, or staying at home and having a good time. In addition to bringing him a lot of gold and silver, the biggest benefit of the courtesans was that they took care of his daily life extremely thoughtfully. , occasionally being jealous also brings some fun to life.

For these oirans, although life is not as glorious as before, there are not many bad things to worry about. The living standard in Lu Mansion is not low. Except for Mrs. Lu Fengxian and Xie Kui, there is basically no one in the mansion. No disrespect, of course, the most important thing is that sense of peace of mind.

Even if Lu Fengxian does nothing, just being here can make people feel at ease. Recently, courtesans with a keen sense of politics have smelled the unusual atmosphere in Tiandu. The streets have become increasingly deserted and few people can see them. , city patrol guards often see them.

It's just that Lu Fengxian rarely talks about these things. They have no source of information and don't know what the current situation is in Tiandu.

In fact, nothing happened. All parties were following their own routes and goals. Li Xinian continued to expand the scope of pickets, began to settle old accounts, search for corrupt officials, replenish the treasury, and at the same time increase investment in the New Army. The money seized, At least half of it was spent on the New Army. Weapons and equipment, food, and military pay, the New Army's treatment was top-notch.

At the same time, several city patrol commanders were appointed and replaced with their own people, and the city patrol guards were gradually taken down.

The atmosphere in Tiandu also became increasingly tense in this environment. Many officials wanted to resign and leave Tiandu, but the city patrol guards and city guards received orders. All officials and their families in the court were not allowed to leave the city without orders. Not to mention relatives, servants are not allowed to go out.

"Father-in-law, are we just going to let this matter go?" Lu Xuan found Xie Yao. Xie Yao's attitude made Lu Xuan interesting. Xie Yao also took this opportunity to use Li Xinian's hand to eliminate the famous families in Tiandu.

After all, he has been in charge of politics. Although Xie Yao is also from an aristocratic family, he is more aware of the dangers of aristocratic families. With the current situation, the destruction of Daqian is a foregone conclusion in the eyes of many people. Xie Yao is paving the way for the future. Li Xinian was shot this time. , and he volunteered to be a gunman.

"The emperor's order is so difficult." Xie Yao sighed. During this period, the aristocratic families who came to his place almost stepped down the threshold of the Xie family. After all, the city guards were nominally loyal to the emperor, but in fact everyone knew that Lu Feng First came Xie Yao's people. The actual master of the city guard was Xie Yao, not the emperor. However, Xie Yao always gave this answer, always looking helpless and depressed. After all, he had resigned. At this moment, he looked at the people with doubts on their faces. Lu Fengxian, Xie Yao showed a smile and said: "Fengxian, just obey orders during this period."

"My son-in-law understands." Lu Fengxian nodded.

In this way, the anti-corruption campaign in Tiandu is in full swing, and more and more officials are being affected. Except for those who resigned long ago and left Tiandu, the six former ministers, even those who stayed in Tiandu after resignation, are all Liquidated by Li Xinian. Therefore, Li Xinian still won a lot of public support. After all, every time there was an inspection, Li Xinian would immediately order the officials of Hongru Academy to inform the counties of Tianzhou about the crime, the cause of the crime, and the use of the seized money, and the money was indeed taken out by Li Xinian. Some of them have done a lot of practical things and exempted the people of Tiandu from taxes for the next three years. The court will purchase the grain from the people at market prices.

It is both beneficial and can watch the former high-ranking officials fall to the ground one by one and even bring disaster to the whole family. The people of Tianzhou are naturally happy.

Xie Yao was keenly aware that Li Xinian still had no intention of ceasefire. Now that these six ministers are finished, is it time for the three ministers next?

Not only him, Murong Cheng and Cui Jinyuan also noticed it, and they all came to visit and discuss countermeasures. A large number of forces from the three major families have withdrawn from Tiandu, and the masters have also returned to train their troops to prepare for the coming troubled times. Tiandu Here, the only fifth-grade master belonging to the three major families is Lu Fengxian. Murong Cheng and Cui Jinyuan are preparing to evacuate Tiandu. The city guards are Xie Yao's people, and Lu Fengxian listened to Xie Yao's words and has been doing his duty during this period. They wanted to evacuate as they were ordered to do so, so naturally they wanted Xie Yao to nod.

"Inform Fengxian and prepare to evacuate Tiandu." Xie Yao also felt that there was no need to continue. He immediately sent people to the city guards and notified Lu Fengxian to escort them back to Zhangzhou. As for how the Cui family and Murong family evacuated, that was up to them. It's their own business, who asked them to send all the masters back, leaving no one around.

"Sir, a group of rebels broke out in Beishan the day before yesterday. General Lu led his troops to quell the rebellion, but he has not returned yet!" the housekeeper bowed.

Xie Yao keenly sensed something was wrong and turned to look at the housekeeper: "Then his family members are still in the city?"

"Yes." The housekeeper nodded. The Xie family had never relaxed their monitoring of Lu Fengxian.

"With Fengxian's ability, it won't take two days to annihilate a group of rebels." Xie Yao looked at Murong Cheng and Cui Jinyuan: "Unless someone intervenes to stop it!"

"Not good!" Murong Cheng and Cui Jinyuan's expressions changed drastically. They stood up and were about to leave, but there were heavy footsteps outside the door.

A steward stumbled in and said in a panic: "Sir, it's not good, a large number of forbidden troops have surrounded the mansion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark wind blew by. Cao Jingzhong's figure appeared in front of the three masters. He looked at the three masters and said with a smile: "Three of them are here, which saves our family a lot of trouble. The three elders, please come." Let’s take a trip home.”

"What does Li Xinian want to do!?" Cui Jinyuan said calmly.

"Investigating the case." Cao Jingzhong said with a smile.

"Cao Yigu, you and I have been ministers of the same palace for many years, you should know the consequences of this matter!" Murong Cheng snorted coldly.

Cao Jingzhong sighed: "Three heads of the family, please don't embarrass our family. Our family only obeys orders and other matters are not under our control."

"Eunuch Cao, please let me go. The Xie family is willing to give you thousands of spiritual stones!" Xie Yao looked at Cao Jingzhong and said solemnly.

"That sounds good, but if we really let you go, where will our family get the spirit stones?" Cao Jingzhong asked with a smile.

"There is it here. As long as my father-in-law is willing to let us go, the spirit stones will belong to Eunuch Cao!" Xie Yao said solemnly.

"I'll catch you. These spiritual stones belong to us too!" Cao Jingzhong sneered and waved his hand, and some soldiers stepped forward to arrest the three of them.

"Presumptuous!" Murong Cheng roared angrily, his hair and beard spread out, and he started to resist.

"Chichi~"

Several fine needles instantly penetrated into the bodies of the three of them. Cao Jingzhong was a fifth-grade martial artist, so the three of them were no match for them. The fine needles entered their bodies, and the three of them instantly felt their muscles and bones go numb, and they couldn't exert any strength.

"You guys, take the three of them and their families to the Ministry of Justice, and search the rest for me!" Cao Jingzhong saw three political opponents who had been fighting for many years now falling in front of him, feeling happy and waving his hands.

"Yes!"

The imperial army came forward, escorted the three people, and sent them to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Cao Jingzhong led his men to dig three feet into the Xie family and took away all the valuables. The same was true for the Murong family and the Cui family. Almost all the houses in the capital were evacuated...
