Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 28 Lu Ming's Death

"Xiaomei?"

"never heard of that."

"Who told you this, Your Excellency?"

Lu Liang denied it immediately.

"I heard someone say this at a tavern a few days ago while drinking. I can't remember who said it."

"I only remember him saying that the widow Xiaomei had a daughter who was also taken to the County Magistrate's Mansion. Is that true?"

Xu Lin asked.

When Lu Liang heard the words "Xiaomei's daughter", his brows furrowed.

Xu Lin spoke with certainty, and it was obvious that he came prepared. I wonder on whose orders he came?

"That's absolutely not the case!"

"Brother Xu, this is a false accusation!"

"The people of Beidi County are not like those of Xianyang. The common people here are all lowly people. Their words cannot be trusted!"

"If you believe what they say, you will be fooled by them."

After a brief pause, Lu Liang advised.

"is it?"

"It seems that Master Lu is often fooled by them!"

"But many people say that after Xiaomei's parents died, Xiaomei and her daughter were taken to the County Magistrate's Mansion. Lord Lu really doesn't know Xiaomei?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

Lu Liang shook his head without thinking

"The girl who came with me has a photographic memory. She's seen Xiaomei's daughter's portrait before. Could you ask her to search the County Magistrate's Mansion?"

"If not, that would be best."

"But if there is..."

Xu Lin raised his finger and pointed at Li Wu, suggesting with a smile.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Liang.

"Brother Xu."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"After all, I am the County Magistrate of Beidi."

Lu Liang's eyes showed displeasure.

"Master Lu is feeling guilty?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"How is that possible?"

"I just feel..."

Lu Liang denied it.

He was interrupted by Xu Lin just when he was halfway through his words.

Xu Lin did not interrupt him with words, but directly drew his sword and put it against his neck.

"Where is Xiaomei's daughter now?"

Xu Lin asked coldly.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

"We're all friends, why bother with all the swords?"

Lu Liang tried hard to force a smile and asked back.

After he finished speaking, he tried to push away the sword in Xu Lin's hand, but he failed after trying twice.

Xu Lin said nothing after hearing this, and moved the sword in his hand forward two inches.

A small wound was stabbed on Lu Liang's neck, and blood flowed down his neck onto his brocade robe.

"In the cellar."

Seeing that Xu Lin was serious, Lu Liang suppressed his displeasure.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin winked at Li Wu.

After Li Wu walked away, Lu Liang turned his head to look out the window and winked at the housekeeper.

He is not good at cultivation, but Lu Ming has a lot of killers!
Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while.

So what if you, Xu Lin, are a captain of the Shadow Secret Guard?

Behind Nai Gong is Prime Minister Lu!
Soon, Li Wu rescued Xiaomei's daughter.

Xiaomei's daughter was only seven years old, so she was not insulted like Xiaomei.

"gentlemen."

"This fellow is still a human being."

"She only suffered some minor injuries."

Li Wu quickly took two steps to Xu Lin's side and spoke in a low voice.

Xu Lin said nothing after hearing this and turned around to look at Xiaomei's daughter.

After chatting for a while, he asked Xiaomei to "write down" her recent experience.

Xiaomei's daughter is responsible for speaking, and Liwu is responsible for writing.

Lu Liang stood aside, his face turning pale and blue.

He wanted to refute what Xiaomei's daughter said, but he was afraid of the sword in Xu Lin's hand, so he dared not speak!

……

After half a stick of incense.

Li Wu wrote down everything Xiaomei's daughter said.

Xu Lin looked satisfied when he saw this.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Lu Liang, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the door.

"The person you found?"

Hearing the voice, Xu Lin looked at Lu Liang and asked.

"Maybe."

Lu Liang said with a relaxed look.

He couldn't beat Xu Lin, but no matter how strong Xu Lin was, could he really defeat a hundred people alone? As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming led his men into the County Magistrate's Mansion.

Lu Ming rode a tall horse, followed by hundreds of black-clad assassins.

"Third brother, are you okay?"

After seeing Lu Liang from afar, Lu Ming asked anxiously.

"It doesn't matter."

"It's just a minor skin injury."

Lu Liang waved his hand calmly.

Then he wiped away the remaining blood on his neck with his sleeve.

"This woman has a nice figure."

"Third brother, if you like, then capture him alive!"

Seeing that Li Wu was tall, Lu Ming laughed out loud.

Lu Liang took a few steps back and nodded in agreement.

Whether in face or figure, Xiaomei is far from comparable to Liwu!
Li Wu, who was wearing a purple long dress, did not get angry but laughed instead. She pulled out a flute from her waist and began to play.

Lu Ming and others suddenly felt a splitting headache.

Upon hearing the noise, the Shadow Secret Guard assassin who had been hiding outside the County Chancellor's Mansion immediately plugged his ears with the 'earplugs' he had prepared in advance and rushed into the County Chancellor's Mansion.

……

After a stick of incense.

The hundreds of killers behind Lu Ming were either killed, injured, or ran away.

Seeing this, Li Wu smiled coldly, stopped playing, and captured Lu Ming alive.

Lu Liang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but was stopped by the secret guard Lao Liu.

"I wonder what your name is?"

"This is all a misunderstanding!"

Lu Ming looked at Xu Lin and asked respectfully.

In his opinion, staying alive is the most important thing, so he is now a completely different person from when he first arrived.

"Little sister."

"Do you think he should die?"

Xu Lin ignored Lu Ming, looked at Xiaomei's daughter and asked.

"My mother said that he and the county magistrate were always in cahoots, and they both deserved to be torn into pieces..."

Xiaomei's daughter said without hesitation.

Although she is not yet eight years old, she is already very sensible.

Children from poor families have to grow up early!

"You mean the five horses torn apart?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile when he saw this.

"Correct!"

"Five horses and quarters!"

Xiaomei's daughter said through gritted teeth.

Although she had not witnessed her mother being humiliated, she had heard her mother's hysterical screams many times!

"it is good."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Lu Ming.

"this?"

"Brother, you're not really going to kill me, are you?"

"It's true that I'm a businessman, but I've had a drink with the Prime Minister before."

Seeing this, Lu Ming hurriedly said.

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Lu Liang, wanting Lu Liang to plead for him, but Lu Liang was in a difficult situation now, so how could he plead for him?

"and then?"

Xu Lin smiled when he heard this and let Lu Ming continue.

"Brother."

"As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting."

"More friends are worse than more enemies."

"How about this? I'll have someone get you five hundred, no, a thousand gold coins as an apology. How about that?"

Lu Ming swallowed his saliva and discussed with Xu Lin respectfully.

He just said that he wanted to capture Li Wu alive, but it was obvious that Li Wu was just Xu Lin's concubine, just a concubine. She wouldn't have to kill him for that, right?

"how do you feel?"

Xu Lin ignored Lu Ming, looked at Li Wu and asked.

"I think the money can be kept, but the person must be killed."

Li Wu said with a cold smile.

"As you say."

Xu Lin nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Wu immediately took out a dagger from her arms and stabbed it into Lu Ming's chest.

The dagger was poisoned, so Lu Ming could only hold on for less than ten breaths before he fell to the ground with a thud.

"He just said he would give me a thousand gold coins. I think he definitely has more than a thousand gold coins in his house."

"Old Liu, take some people to raid his house."

Xu Lin ordered with a smile.

"promise!"
