Chapter 268 Collection

Traveling on the antique street, accompanied by an ancient girl, Lu Qiang seemed to be a few years younger.

I am busy with government affairs every day. What I think about is either how to expand the territory, or to be wary of the changing mood of the ministers. Lu Qiang has not been so relaxed for a long time.

Tuoba Mingzhu can't say how she feels about Lu Qiang. She just feels very comfortable to be by his side, like an tireless swallow, chattering all the way.

Lu Qiang has rich life experience. Although he doesn't say much, he always talks about the point, which makes Tuoba Mingzhu excited and admire him. He can't help thinking that this man really knows a lot.

After walking for a while, the two found a teahouse facing the street and sat down.

"Your Central Plains tea tastes strange, but it's quite fragrant and tastes better than our milk tea."

Although Tuoba Mingzhu's identity is respected, she is not as twisted as a famous lady at all.

Lu Qiang smiled and said, "Tell me where your home is, and I have someone send it to you every year."

Hearing Lu Qiang ask about her residence, Tuoba Mingzhu's expression faded. Who didn't know that Jin and Wei were sworn enemies? Once he knew his true identity, would he still dare to deal with himself?

He sighed gently and said with some interest, "Forget it, there are some things you don't know."

Lu Qiang can understand her mood at this moment, because he also has the pain of not being able to show his identity.

"You live there, and I'll come to see you tomorrow!"

The girl's mind changed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the faint sadness at the corners of Tuoba Pearl's eyes disappeared.

It has been a matter of the Lu family's collection of the network, and although Lu Qiang will stay in Yangzhou for a few days, he can't be so idle.

After meditating for a moment, he said, "I still have some things to do, and I will go south in the future. I'm afraid there will be no more time like today."

After a pause, he said, "You'd better leave here as soon as possible. If you don't want to return to the grassland so early, you can also go somewhere else."

Lu Qiang is still the first time to say something against his principles, because once the Lu family is uprooted, the girl in front of him must also be implicated, which is not what he wants to see.

After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Tuoba Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Why did you say that? Did the court want to deal with the Lu family?" He seemed to feel himself talking, and then said, "Who the hell are you? As if you know everything"

Before she finished speaking, one of her men came quickly and said a few words in the maid's ear, and then saw the maid coming to Tuoba Mingzhu with a nervous expression.

"Miss, we should go"

Tuoba Mingzhu and Lu Qiang said they were happy. How could they leave now? They turned their heads and stared at the maid. Before they could speak, the maid fell in her ear and whispered.

While listening, Tuoba Mingzhu's expression was also changing. After the maid finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Big man, it seems that you are right. I have to go."

bit his lip and said, "Can we meet again?"

"Fively"

Lu Qiang answered her almost without thinking. After saying that, he regretted it. Do I have time to fool around with her? Why did you promise her?

After Tuoba Mingzhu got Lu Qiang's reply, her expression immediately became cheerful and turned around and left. When she arrived at the door, she suddenly turned her head and blushed and said, "My real name is Tuoba Mingzhu, don't forget." After saying that, she flashed out.

"Why did you take the initiative to tell me your name? Is it that I'm lucky?"

Lu Qiang couldn't help touching his nose. He was not stupid. Of course, he could see that the girl was interested in him. For him, it couldn't be easier to want a woman, but he didn't want to spend all his mind on it.

"Pearl! The pearl of the grassland is indeed a good name"

A burst of rapid footsteps interrupted Lu Qiang's reverie. Looking up, he saw a bodyguard coming quickly.

"Master, Li Hui has recruited. The things of the Lu family are in several farms in the countryside. At the same time, he also confessed. The Lu family not only sells contraband outside the customs, but also seems to have business dealings in Baekje. There is also the names of some military generals the Lu family made through him."

The bodyguard said and handed over another list.

Hearing Baekje's name, Lu Qiang couldn't help frowning.

The king of Baekje has already called him a vassal state of the imperial court. If they want to buy anything, they can justly make a deal with the court. Why are they sneaky?

In fact, in order to steal the enemy's information, Zhifengtang will pretend to be a businessman and get some contraband in exchange for the enemy's trust, but the number is very small, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a drop in the bucket.

Like the Lu family, they committed the great crime of extermination of the nine clans. Moreover, their family made friends with military generals, and obviously some generals secretly took care of his family. This is a big hidden danger that must be removed as soon as possible.

After listening to the bodyguard's report, Lu Qiang stood up. Now that the evidence is conclusive, it's time to close the network.

At this time, Bao and Zhu Lian were also waiting nervously in the lobby of Yangzhou government office. They had already felt that the emperor was in the city, but if the emperor did not appear, they could not beat the gongs and drums all over the city, right?

At this moment, Lu Qiang took someone there.

When they saw the emperor, they were nervous and secretly relieved. They couldn't see the emperor, so they were not at ease.

When he decided to stay yesterday, Lu Qiang had already ordered the army to keep up quickly. According to the time, he could arrive in Yangzhou by this evening at the latest.

Lu Qiang threw the list provided by Li Hui to Bao Hu with a blank face.

Bao looked at it inexplicably a few times, and then sweated down. He turned over and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please treat the crime of negligence."

"Adjust your personal guard to block the gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. At the same time, all generals are summoned to the government office for deliberations. Lord Zhu should properly explain this matter to the people"

The two answered in unison and turned down to distribute.

Now it's just after noon, and merchants come and go most intensively, so if you want to close the city gate, you must ensure that these people do not make trouble.

As expected, as soon as the order to close the city gate was issued, there was a sudden uproar. A large number of people gathered at the city gate, shouting to leave the city and ask the government to give a clear statement.

Zhu Lian went to the city gate in person and told the merchants that some people had committed sex with the State of Wei and smuggled prohibited items to the State of Wei. The army is thoroughly investigating. Don't be too excited. It won't be long before everyone will be released from the city.

As soon as Zhu Lian's words came out, it immediately triggered another riot and sold prohibited items to the State of Wei. Isn't that tantamount to selling the country? Such a person is killed by everyone.

Although the people who learned about the situation were excited, they finally didn't shout to leave the city.

At this time, the government office was already on nervous alert. After those generals who did not know the truth were summoned, someone came up to unload their weapons, and then let them arrange them according to their official positions and go in to meet His Majesty.

At this point, these generals knew that the emperor had already arrived.

After Lu Qiang sat on the desk with a blank face, Bao stood in the first position with armor.

At this time, someone shouted the names of the generals. As the generals entered one by one, those generals who were forked under their names were directly knocked down and taken away.

There was no other voice at the scene except the empty voice of the civilist who shouted his name. It was nervous enough to see the emperor himself. Now many colleagues have been taken down for unknown reasons, which makes these generals nervous for fear of accidentally angering the emperor.

After arresting six people, no one was finally arrested. Under the leadership of Bao Bu, the generals bowed down and saluted Lu Qiang.

"Have you forgotten your essence and your responsibilities in the richest place in the world? As a soldier, it is my responsibility to defend the land, but I have an affair with those who collude with traitors. I have scratched their hearts. You should take this as a warning and report it to the court and An Li Shu to be worthy of your military uniform...

Lu Qiang's voice seemed to come from the sky, and only made the generals frightened. At this point, they knew what the arrested colleagues had committed. When they thought about the end they were going to face, they were so quiet that they didn't even dare to breathe.

In fact, these generals may not be involved in the trafficking of contraband, but this kind of thing is better to kill by mistake and not let go, but anyone who has a little communication with the Lu family is absolutely unacceptable.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the gate came to report that the Panther's army had arrived.

He was still reassured by his direct military. Lu Qiang immediately ordered He Guangsheng to take over the blockade of the city gate. On the one hand, he sent people to raid the manor of the Lu family in the suburbs, surrounded the Lufu and began to arrest people.

Surprisingly, except for the servants, several owners of the Lu family have lost their tracks, and Tuoba Mingzhu are not in the house.

The gate has already been blocked, and the generals related to them have also been captured. Can they put their wings and fly?

Lu Qiang ordered a strict investigation of the Lu Mansion to find a tunnel outside the city, and carried out a carpet-like search in the city to arrest them.

People say that the three caves of cunning rabbits, how can people like the Lu family who are killing their heads and do business not reserve a way for themselves? As soon as they heard that the gate was closed and the spies of the State of Wei were arrested, they knew that things were not good, and then they took Tuoba Mingzhu to hide in another courtyard.

This yard has an owner, and this owner was naturally arranged by the Lu family, so he will not report them.

Tuoba Mingzhu did not feel that she was here to be a spy, so she was very dissatisfied with this kind of hidden behavior and kept shouting to go out.

If it hadn't been for Tuoba Mingzhu's identity and future survival, the Lu brothers would have killed her.

In fact, Tuoba Mingzhu is not ignorant, but she suddenly remembered Lu Qiang's words to persuade her to leave. Now that I think about it, the big man must be from the government, otherwise he can't know so much, and as long as he sees him again, I believe he must have a way to let himself leave.

A very strange psychology, Tuoba Mingzhu herself doesn't understand where her trust in that person comes from.

Come out of your room, find the Lu brothers who are studying countermeasures nervously, and say directly, "You let me go out. I know their officials here."

If it hadn't been for the form of urgency, Lu Wenlong would have been almost laughed at by Tuoba Mingzhu, saying that this girl was too ignorant, right? Besides, you have only been here for a few days. Who can you know?
