Chapter 583 Lu Yi's Calculation

Lu Yi, son of Lu Shiheng, Marquis of Lingshou County, General Xuanwei.

Who is Lu Shiheng?Yuan Cong's deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, hero of the Xuanwumen Revolution, was promoted to the county marquis position in the first year of Zhenguan, and one of Yueshan's staunch allies.

As Lu Shiheng's eldest son, Lu Yi is naturally a member of Yue Shan's school.At that time, he also wanted to join the Baiqi Division, but he was seriously over the age and failed in the first round, so he had to stay in the Yuan Cong Imperial Army to serve.

But just because there is Yueshan, a big mountain to rely on, he behaves quite ostentatiously, and he is not afraid of anyone in Chang'an except a few royal families.

He is very clear about the grievances and enmities between Bailu Academy and Yueshan, this time he heard that he was going to come here to arrest people, but he took the initiative to ask Ying, it was just a slap in the face.

As for the revenge of the aristocratic family afterwards, he was not worried, and he would be afraid of anyone who had the guts.

For such a person who is not afraid of anything and holds a knife in his hand, this group of aristocratic family members are really helpless. They can only observe around and look for the leaders of the academy to help them out.

This made me even more flustered, only ordinary teachers came, why are the principals, sacrificial wine, and heads of each courtyard not present?At this time, the students also realized that something was wrong, and they all died down and never dared to stand out again.

Not only did the students find out that the senior leaders of the academy were not there, but Lu Yi also quickly discovered this.

"Where is your courtyard? Sacrificial wine? Where did everyone die with special wine?"

"..." No one dared to stand up and answer.

"Does anyone know? You, tell me where your courtyard is going?" Lu Yi pointed at a student and yelled.

The student puffed out his chest and wanted to show the demeanor of a family member, but he glanced at the sharp long knife in Lu Yi's hand, his chest collapsed when he was halfway up, and he stammered:

"I...I don't...don't know."

"I don't know what you're talking about, get out." People always push their feet, Lu Yi became even more arrogant when he saw the other party's cowardly attitude, and waved his hand to the next person: "You?"

"I don't know." The student still had a bit of backbone, even though he was afraid in his heart, he replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Huh?" Seeing that Lu Yi didn't scare the other party, he felt very upset and wanted to curse.But fortunately, he is not that kind of dandy, and he realized in time that this place is full of aristocratic families, it is not good to be too arrogant.

Although I'm not afraid of their revenge, but I can't give the other party an excuse. Don't make extra troubles to create difficulties for Yue Shan and the saint.

So he snorted coldly, turned his head and glanced around, and shouted: "Does anyone know where your courtyard and sacrificial wine have gone?"

But still no one answered him.

Lu Yi's face became even more ugly, and he threatened: "Anyone who knows and does not report will be punished as a crime of concealment."

"Oh, the crime of hiding? Dare I ask this general, why should I be arrested for the crime I committed?" At this moment, a person came from a distance and raised his voice.

"It's the king's job." "The king's job is here, that's great." The students and gentlemen who saw the person who came here suddenly had a heart, and they were happy.

Lu Yi didn't expect to be bullied by someone, so he was naturally very angry, and he became even more angry when he saw the person coming.No, or it would be more appropriate to say new hatred and old hatred.

"Wang Yuanzhuo, it's you."

"It's Mr. Wang. May I ask why the general is so exhausting to call the students and gentlemen of my White Deer Academy here?" Wang Yuanzhuo said.

"Catch the rebellious party, why, do you have an opinion?" Lu Yi said arrogantly.

"Don't dare, but do you have evidence? Although there are all white bodies here, not everyone can come here to act wildly." Wang Yuanzhuo said contemptuously.

"Haha..." Unexpectedly, Lu Yi, who was still irritable and irritable just now, suddenly laughed: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a son of an aristocratic family, and his skills are grown on his lips."

"Yue Hou once said that there is no need to talk so much nonsense when dealing with you quick-mouthed people. Just grab the handle and knock it down directly."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yi kicked Wang Yuanzhuo's leg and knocked him to the ground.

"Ah!" Wang Yuanzhuo fell to the ground and cried out in pain, but still looked at Lu Yi without fear and said mockingly: "A group of barbarians, even if they are in high positions, they are only crowned with monkeys."

"Master Wang." Seeing that he was humiliated, the students and teachers around hurriedly tried to defend him, but they were stopped by the imperial guards.

"That's right, that's right." Lu Yi was not angry, but pointed at him and laughed and said to his colleagues around him, "Do you know how Yue Hou described this situation?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he immediately gave the answer himself: "Incompetent rage, Yuehou called this situation impotent rage."

"Aren't you very sharp-tongued? Being humiliated by me, besides barking like a dog, do you have any other options?"

"You..." Wang Yuanzhuo had never been humiliated before, and his angry face turned into a liver color.

"Don't insult our boss." "Don't insult our boss."

Those students finally couldn't stand this kind of humiliation, and shouted excitedly, trying to attack the defense line of the imperial army while shouting.

Wang Yuanzhuo was also very moved, he did not hesitate to stand up and defend them, and it finally paid off.Just as he was about to continue to mock Lu Yi with a few words to arouse the students' more common hatred, but when he looked up, he found a trace of excitement flashing in Lu Yi's eyes that the scheme had succeeded.

His heart skipped a beat, and he thought of a possibility.

Wouldn't this guy intentionally provoke everyone and kill everyone?impossible?
There are [-] students from powerful families here, representing tens of hundreds of families behind them. He really dares to offend so many people at once?
Think about the purpose of the other party's coming here, to arrest the participants in the witchcraft technique... Once these students dare to resist, then the other party can beat everyone back and charge everyone with obstructing the handling of the case.

If it was an ordinary case, the other party would not dare to do this, but this time it was a case of witchcraft, and the emperor was ready to kill with a knife. If they dared to take the initiative to give the other party the blame, the end would definitely be miserable.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, stop, stop."

Hearing his words, the students slowly fell silent.

"He is deliberately provoking us. Don't be fooled. I didn't commit a crime. He humiliated me at most. He can't do anything to me."

Hearing what he said, everyone also reacted, not daring to move casually.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yi was inevitably a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he deliberately mocked: "Not bad, not bad, I still have some brains."

"May I ask your Excellency Gao's name? Did Wang offend you?" Wang Yuanzhuo ignored his sarcasm and asked while staring at him.

It's no wonder that he thought about it, it was mainly because Lu Yi was too obvious.To be able to call out Wang Zhuo's name as soon as they met, and to humiliate him so brazenly even though he knew who he was, must have had a grudge before.

"Father Lingshou Hou Lu." Lu Yi said meaningfully.

"It turned out to be the gentleman of Lingshouhou's family. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Wang Yuanzhuo's face changed, how could he not know that Lingshouhou Lu Shiheng was Yue Shan's most loyal dog leg.This captain is Lu Shiheng's son, no wonder he hates him so much.

After knowing the identity of the other party, the calculation in his mind was immediately dispelled.

To be honest, although he betrayed Weishui Academy, he really didn't want to be an enemy of Yue Shan.Especially after Yue Shan succeeded in using the method of turning a chicken into a male.

This kind of enemy is too mysterious and hidden too deep, and the risk of being an enemy is too great.Even if Yue Shan has lost his mysterious power, he is still one of the most dangerous people.

How did the aristocratic family survive for thousands of years?Just know how to judge the situation.When the enemy is too strong, I stay away, or even kneel down and surrender, as long as the family can continue.

Then the emperor changed crop after crop, and our family still exists.

Now that Yue Shan is invincible, I will avoid you and deal with your descendants when you die.

Wang Yuanzhuo really thought so, so he didn't take part in using the female chicken to attack the queen this time, and wrote to his family to ask them not to participate.

Although the Wang family didn't fully listen to him, they also referred to his opinion and didn't jump out directly. They planned to observe the situation first before speaking.

Then Yue Shan reversed the situation, and the original attacker was turned into a traitor.

Because he successfully saved his family from a catastrophe, Wang Yuanzhuo's status in the family climbed to a higher level again.

It turned out that the family intended to call him back to work in the family for training.In the past, such an opportunity was something he had dreamed of, which meant that even if he could not be the head of the family in the future, he would still be able to become one of the elders with real power.

But now, he refused without hesitation.Compared with competing with outstanding peers within the family, running Bailu Academy well has a brighter future.

This time the imperial army came to the academy to arrest the members of the family involved in the case, and other high-level officials in the academy found excuses to leave to avoid disaster. Only Wang Yuanzhuo chose to stay.

Firstly, he is not afraid of being arrested by the Imperial Army if he has done nothing wrong; secondly, he seeks wealth and wealth in danger. If this wave is done well, his prestige will soon surpass Yuanzheng and Jijiu, and become the real master of the academy.

Now he has succeeded.

These students and gentlemen all regard him as the only backbone, and even if the courtyard is offering wine and waiting for people to come back afterwards, this situation cannot be changed.

When Wang Yuanzhuo was thinking about something, Lu Yi said, "Wang Yuanzhuo, this captain has a task for you."

"Lieutenant Lu, please tell me." Wang Yuanzhuo said politely.

"Take a good look at these people. If you don't understand the case, you can't let anyone go. Otherwise, I'll only ask you." Lu Yi said.

"Okay, I will restrain the students from running around, please rest assured Captain Lu." Wang Yuanzhuo said obediently.

As for Lu Yi not answering the question of what crime he committed, he has long since selectively forgotten it.The handle of the knife is in the hands of others, asking this is asking for trouble.

Lu Yi was taken aback by Wang Yuanzhuo's attitude, and couldn't help but glance at him, feeling even more afraid of this aristocratic son who came from five surnames and seven Wangs.

Able to bend and stretch, such a person is the scariest.

"Take the people and let's go." Seeing that there would be no big gains if the consumption continued, Lu Yi waved his hand to close the team and leave.

When he left, he also took with him nearly [-] academy students.

The families of these students were all involved in the witchcraft case, and the evidence is conclusive.

When the imperial army left, all the students and teachers gathered around Wang Yuanzhuo to greet him.Wang Yuanzhuo said that he was fine, and in turn comforted everyone not to panic, and once again received a wave of praise.

The imperial court executive Jinwu, imperial guards, government servants, etc. all dispatched to arrest those involved in the case. In just four days, hundreds of officials around the capital had their homes ransacked, as well as powerful families, etc., adding up to thousands of people.Counting their family members, tens of thousands of people were involved.

The Dali Temple Prison was already overcrowded, and the Criminal Ministry Prison was soon full. In the end, the imperial court had to choose an open space to temporarily build a prison cell.

Officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai Division all dispatched day and night to investigate and deal with it, not daring to slack off.

As the investigation deepened, more and more people were implicated.

At the local level, hundreds of officials were taken down, and dozens of families were surrounded and searched by the army.

This investigation also uncovered many cases of raising private slaves, hiding private households, embezzling people's land, bullying men and women, etc., which can be regarded as adding a few pieces of wood to the gallows of these people.

But soon everyone discovered a problem... No, it can't be said that it is a big problem, mainly because Li Shimin is not satisfied.

"Isn't there any evidence after searching for so long?"

"Indeed, there were some criminals who tried to accuse Cui and Lu, but they all said it without any evidence. With these empty words, there is no way to attack the five surnames and seven Wang." Fang Xuanling said.

The influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs is too great, even if there is evidence, they may not be able to move them, let alone there is no conclusive evidence now.

"With so many people participating, I don't believe that they didn't leave any evidence. Check, keep checking." Li Shimin said angrily.

"Wei Damao is the most important pawn, maybe he will have evidence in his hand." Gao Shilian said from the side.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, thinking that this was a breakthrough, he quickly asked Wang Gui beside him, "Wang Qing."

Seeing Wang Gui sitting steadily on the chair with his eyes closed, as if he didn't hear his words, Li Shimin was a little unhappy, but he still patiently raised his voice and shouted: "Wang Qing."

However, Wang Gui seemed to be asleep, and there was still no movement, and Li Shimin's face completely darkened.

The others also looked at Wang Gui worriedly...

Chen Shuda, who was sitting beside him, quickly stretched out his hand to push him.

But to everyone's surprise, Wang Gui fell down and slumped on the chair.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Realizing that something was wrong, they hurried forward and shouted: "Xiang Wang, Xiang Wang, what's wrong with you?"

It's a pity that Wang Gui still didn't respond.

Chen Shuda stretched out his trembling fingers and put them under his nose, then his expression changed, and he slowly retracted his fingers.Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly shook his head.

This... Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one expected this to happen.

Li Shimin's face also changed drastically, and he quickly shouted: "Physician Xuan, hurry up and call the doctor over."

Zhao Meng also knew that something serious happened, so he hurriedly ran outside the door and ordered his subordinates to notify the imperial doctor, then returned to the room and whispered: "Saint, do you want to make Wang Xiang lie down more comfortably?"

It means that the appearance of Wang Gui slumped on the chair is too unsightly. Do you want to help him tidy up his remains and straighten his body.
