Since it was ordered by his superior,

There's more gold to be gained.

These two naturally wouldn't refuse.

He immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Master Kong,"

Xue Ba assured him,

"With the two of us here,"

“Lu Junyi will definitely not live to see Shamen Island.”

.....

After leaving the yamen,

Dong Chao and Xue Ba,

Just as I was about to go to the prison to bring Lu Junyi out,

Suddenly a shout was heard.

"Greetings, officers..."

Chapter 1555 Dong Chao and Xue Ba

The two turned their heads and looked...

Those who called out to them,

It was none other than Li Gu, the steward of the Lu family.

It turned out that although Li Gu knew Liang Zhongshu would definitely not let Lu Junyi go,

But without seeing Lu Junyi die,

How could Li Gu possibly feel at ease seizing the Lu family's property?

So he kept trying to find out what the government office was up to.

After learning that Lu Junyi had indeed been sentenced to exile,

Li Gu immediately inquired about the guards escorting Lu Junyi.

After learning that it was Dong Chao and Xue Ba,

So he waited at the teahouse near the yamen gate.

This isn't the first time Dong Chao and Xue Ba have done something like this.

Seeing that the person who called them was Li Gu,

He immediately understood.

This guy definitely wants them to be killed on the way.

Lu Junyi was dealt with.

Although before,

They have already received the gold from the clerk in the yamen.

But who would complain about having too much gold?

Do one thing

However, they were able to receive two payments.

Such a good thing,

This is obviously quite rare.

Li Gu was also aware of the manners of the yamen runners.

Facing Dong Chao and Xue Ba,

Li Gu went straight to the point.

"My lords, to be honest,"

“Lu Junyi and I are irreconcilable enemies.”

"He was exiled to Shamen Island this time,"

"It's a long way there,"

"This fellow is penniless,"

"Wouldn't that make the two officers work hard and worry?"

"Why not just be straightforward?"

"I have twenty taels of gold here to give to you two."

"After you take Lu Junyi away,"

"Find a secluded place,"

"It ended his life directly."

"Wait until the two of you retrieve the gold seal on his face as proof,"

"When I get here,"

"How about giving each of you another fifty taels of gold?"

Dong Chao was about to nod,

Xue Ba, standing nearby, wanted to raise the price further.

He frowned, feigning concern.

"It would be easy for the two of us to finish him off,"

"But this is difficult to handle afterwards."

"In case the authorities investigate,"

"What are we two brothers going to do now?"

"Please rest assured, gentlemen, I'll take care of things at the yamen."

Li Gu also learned some things from Kong Mu.

"Lu Junyi has been severely tortured,"

"In his current state, it's clear he won't live much longer."

"The two of you just need to say that this fellow couldn't withstand the blows,"

"Died en route during transport,"

"Isn't that enough?"

"Besides, this was something the two of you were originally going to do,"

All I want now is a little peace of mind.

"If neither of you is willing,"

"Then this gold..."

Seeing that Li Gu was about to take the gold back,

Dong Chao could no longer hold back.

He nodded directly.

"Of course, Butler Li, you can rest assured."

"It can take up to half a month,"

"At least ten days,"

“We two brothers will definitely bring back the golden mark on Lu Junyi’s face.”

.....

Dong Chao and Xue Ba accepted the gold.

I went home and packed my luggage.

Only then did they go to the prison and bring Lu Junyi out.

They then escorted Master Lu out of the city.

Lu Junyi endured the pain all over his body and walked for a while.

He couldn't hold on any longer.

He pleaded with Dong Chao and Xue Ba.

"Officers, I have been flogged today,"

"Now that my boils have flared up, I really can't walk anymore."

"I wonder if we could find a place to rest?"

"We'll set off tomorrow."

Dong Chao and Xue Ba,

They had already agreed to Kong Mu and Li Gu's request.

We must take action against Lu Junyi.

Now, naturally, I won't be polite to him either.

"Stop your nonsense!"

"If it weren't for you dragging me down,"

"How could the two of us possibly be assigned this task!"

"From here to Shamen Island,"

"The round trip is over six thousand li!"

"You don't have much money on you anyway!"

"If we don't seize some now,"

"Are we expect the men to pay for it?"

"Are you suggesting I invite you to stay at the inn?!"

"The gentlemen don't have that much money to spend."

Xue Ba then took their luggage.

They all ended up on Lu Junyi's body.

"You dog of rich landlords,"

"Normally, he's quite the gentleman,"

"They've never taken us officials seriously."

"Today you've fallen into our hands, you scoundrel!"

"That's retribution."

"You'd better enjoy yourself!"

Seeing how fierce the two officers were, Lu Junyi

All they could do was grit their teeth.

Enduring the pain all over my body

We must move forward step by step.
