After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

The general was angry, but he did not dare to confront Yu Zizhen directly.

He said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Xiaguan and Quanzi don't treat all the relatives of criminal officials like this. The reason why Quanzi couldn't control it and impulsively beat and scolded these people in the Lu family is because there were many people in the Lu family in the past. Relying on Lu Huaiyi's power, he bullied his subordinates and Quanzi."

Wiping away non-existent tears, he pretended to be choking and said loudly: "Xiaguan used to be one of Lu Huaiyi's subordinates. Not only did he send generous gifts to the Lu family during the four seasons and eight festivals, he even gave one of their family members When the baby celebrates his birthday, Xiaguan’s family will come to the door with generous gifts to congratulate them. But they still insult and beat Xiaguan’s children at every turn, Xiaguan.”

"You put it!" Lu Mingxuan, who had always been self-restrained and polite, and had the temperament of a Confucian general, couldn't help but cursed. He pointed at the general's nose and cursed: "You are a despicable villain who only adds insult to injury by following people's influence! You are such a despicable person. I’ve seen a lot of people!”

"I swear to God, my uncle has warned your family more than once not to send generous gifts, and every time your family sends you a gift, no matter what it is, my uncle and aunt have given you a gift of equal value in return!"

"I dare to swear that if I make a false statement, I will be cut into pieces and suffer a terrible death! What about you? Do you dare to swear this?"

Wu Shunze, who was originally a follower of the Lu family and knew the character of the family very well, sighed hard, "When the Lu family was prosperous, you were flattering on the outside but resentful on the inside. While taking advantage of the Lu family, you wished that the Lu family The family is in trouble immediately, so you can replace it. When the Lu family is really in trouble, you will fall out faster than turning the page in a book. The more you benefit from the Lu family, the more you want to step on the Lu family a few times to show that you are different from what you used to be. Damn! I’m not despicable, I’m not disgusting!”

The boy who was born into a family and was still nothing more than a palace guard even if he was successful now, was so insulted that the general was so angry that he wished he could just draw his sword and kill him.

However, Wu Shun's attack on him was not over yet. He shouted loudly at the officials who claimed to be testifying but were actually watching the fun: "Everyone who is watching the fun, those who are older than him should be careful. If This family is trying hard to curry favor with you, don’t think that just because they are currying favor with you now, they are willing to be your dogs, the Lu family is a lesson to you!"

The Lu family ended badly, and many people thought Wu Shun's words were very unlucky. Some of the superstitious ones were still in court, and they couldn't help but bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.

But because of this, they immediately labeled the general and his family as "unlucky".

The general was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Regardless of the occasion, he directly drew the sword from his waist.

Yu Zizhen immediately stepped forward to stop Wu Shun, "Are you going to commit murder in front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion?"

When she asked the question, the general returned to his senses. He pointed at Wu Shun and said angrily to Yu Zizhen: "Your Majesty, he has humiliated Xiaguan's family like this, but you still want to protect him indiscriminately? "

Yu Zizhen looked at him sideways, "Everything has a cause and an effect. If you hadn't openly slandered the Lu family first, how could he still couldn't help but sneer at you after he became a bodyguard in the Zhenbei Palace?"

"Besides, who in the whole capital doesn't know that they are now my bodyguards, Yu Zizhen, and the retinues of the Prince of Zhenbei who have been deeded into my hands. Your son humiliating them is just a slap in my face, and he is deliberately trying to get me to Zhenbei. The palace is disgraced!"

"Why, you allow your son to slap me in the face because he is an official, but you don't allow me to sue Jingzhao Mansion to seek justice for the guards in the palace, but you don't allow them to sneer at you?"

"Since your family is so powerful, why don't I ask His Majesty to send you to the northern, western or southern border to guard the border?" As soon as Yu Zizhen said this, the family suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.

The female family members who were crying before stopped crying. The people who were staring at Yu Zizhen angrily stopped staring at her. The general who defended himself before also shut his mouth tightly.

The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture observed his words and saw that Yu Zizhen did not really want to enter the palace to ask for an order, so he immediately and cleverly gave Yu Zizhen a step up.

He was shocked and sentenced each of the military general's sons to twenty broad strokes according to law, and ordered them to compensate the Lu family 200 taels of silver.

200 taels is not worth mentioning compared to the amount Yu Zizhen used to blackmail, ahem, claim. However, Da Qilu did not support her asking for more gold and silver from that family, so those few insulted and beat the Lu family. The guy had to be slapped in public, which somewhat offset Yu Zizhen's dissatisfaction due to the low compensation.

After returning to Zhenbei Palace with the Lu family who had received 200 taels of compensation and watched the beatings of the guys, Yu Zizhen asked Doctor Feng to clean their wounds and apply medicine and bandages.

"Go back and recuperate for a few days. If someone beats you or even kills you in the future, remember to fight back as appropriate. Don't be like today. Those who are cowards will only suffer."

Although she had a lecturing tone, the Lu family were deeply moved.

They were about to thank you when they heard Yu Zizhen say again: "Waiting for the Wanshou Festival, I will try to send you out of Beijing and start over again somewhere else."

The Lu family were shocked when they heard this. Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan expressed their opinions in unison, "Your Majesty, I don't want to leave. Your kindness to the Lu family is as great as a mountain. I am willing to die for you and do your best."

Yu Zizhen smiled and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you do things for me. Don't worry, even if you are not in the capital, I will take good care of you."

After a pause, she continued: "I'm sending you away because you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. It's impossible for me to keep you under my nose and protect you 24 hours a day, but I I don’t want you to encounter a situation like today, or even more serious than today, one day where I can’t see you.”

The money she brought from Zhenbei Palace, plus the money she got during this period, was enough for her to build a small stronghold.

It happened that the Lu family had also received letters from Lu Huaiyi and his son, sent back by the trustees to report that they were safe. The worries about Lu Huaiyi and his son no longer made them sleepy and sleepless. Yu Zizhen originally planned to find time to send them to live somewhere else.

As written in the plot of the original book, the government officials responsible for escorting Lu Huaiyi and his son did attack them midway. However, because they had Yu Zizhen’s secret advice and material support, they were not directly attacked as written in the plot of the original book. People were killed on the way.

With the help of Lu Ping and Lu An, they managed to kill the government officials without any danger, and following Yu Zizhen's suggestion, they changed their identities and joined the army under Duke Wei of Western Xinjiang. (End of chapter)
