The grass in the factory should be plucked

Ever since he sold the book "Guifan Zhuan" to a wealthy businessman from another place named Feng at a high price, Lu Youliang has been caught in endless troubles and fears.

First, someone told him that he would be killed and asked him to run away with his family.

Lu Youliang thought this was nonsense. He had unexpectedly received this sum of money, so he happily took his wife and children back to visit his Yue family.

On the way, Lu Youliang suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to take the four treasures of the study that he wanted to give to his brother-in-law, so he asked his wife to take the children and follow the carriage first, and he returned home alone to get the gifts for his brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, when he was not far from his home, he saw several masked men in black sneaking into his house with shining swords in their hands!

Lu Youliang was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp. Just as he was about to shout "There's a thief", someone pulled him into a dark alley and covered his mouth.

Lu Youliang was horrified, but he heard the man whisper, "Don't panic, I'm here to protect you."

He pulled Lu Youliang to hide in a corner, watching the group search his house for a long time, and then came out angrily, cursing, "He actually escaped!", "Master ordered that Lu Youliang's family must be wiped out, what should we do now?", "I want to find him alive or dead, no one can be spared!"

……

Lu Youliang was so frightened that his face turned pale. Who is this uncle?

He had no grudge against him, so why was she so cruel that she wanted to wipe out his entire family and not let any one go?

The man motioned for him to keep quiet, and quietly took him to hide in a nearby home, then told him the whole story.

Lu Youliang then found out that it was because of the "Guifan Zhuan" he sold to the wealthy businessman named Feng that he brought this unprovoked disaster upon himself!

"That wealthy businessman surnamed Feng is not a wealthy businessman at all. He is Concubine Zhou's cousin Feng Chuan. It was he who presented this book to Concubine Zhou."

Upon hearing this, Lu Youliang gritted his teeth with hatred. Just for plagiarizing his book to gain fame for Concubine Zhou, the Earl of Ningyang wanted to wipe him out completely?

Since he has sold the book, he will not go back on his word. As a scholar, he still has this minimum credibility.

The man laughed at his naivety and said, "Your existence is a dangerous factor. Who knows if you will jump out and testify against Concubine Zhou?"

The fight for the throne is a matter of either you die or I live. Even if Lu Youliang wants to keep his promise, he will be forced to do so by then.

Who would let go of such a big handle?

"Think about it. If you want to accept our protection, we will go and fetch your wife and children here right away. It will be dangerous if you are late."

"Who are you?" Lu Youliang asked vigilantly.

The man said frankly, "We are the Third Prince's men. Sooner or later, the Third Prince will confront the Second Prince and Concubine Zhou. For you, they are natural allies. You don't have to worry about us betraying you."

The man also told him that before coming to Ningyang Marquis’ Mansion, people from the Eastern Depot had also come to see him for unknown purposes.

He asked Lu Youliang to decide as soon as possible whether to accept the protection of the third prince or to join the East Factory.

Lu Youliang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you!"

The East Factory has also set its sights on him! If he doesn't make a decision quickly, his wife and children will be in danger.

So, Lu Youliang and his family were quietly hidden away.

Lu Youliang discovered that the person who hid him was from Li’s company.

It turns out that the Li business that can be seen everywhere in Da Chu is the property of the third prince!

The Third Prince was so hidden that he could be found before the East Factory and Ningyang Earl's Mansion. This shows that he has a lot of hidden power. In the future, he might be able to...

Lu Youliang felt both grateful and lucky; the favor of fate ignited his raging ambition like a raging fire.

He is a poor scholar with no hope of passing the imperial examination. If he can take this opportunity to join the Third Prince's army, then after the Third Prince successfully ascends to the throne, can he also get the credit of following the emperor?

"I, Lu, have no way to repay you. I am willing to sacrifice my life and follow His Royal Highness the Third Prince till death!"

Lu Youliang expressed his determination to the person in charge of Li's company with tears in his eyes.

The person in charge smiled and said, "Okay! For your safety, I will ask you to be a waiter for a while. When His Highness needs you, you can come out again."

So, Lu Youliang wrote to several good friends, saying that he had taken his wife and children to live with relatives in the south of the Yangtze River, and asked them to help look after his house.

Under the arrangement of Li's company, he disguised himself as an ordinary-looking waiter.

The same thing went to his wife and children, who were assigned to help out in various shops.

Just like that, under the eyes of everyone, Lu Youliang and his family escaped wave after wave of searches by the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Eastern Depot.

The person in charge of the Li Company did not hide anything from him about what happened in the capital.

When Lu Youliang learned that the "Demon Book Case" was getting more and more serious in the capital, he couldn't help but feel a thousand kinds of heroic feelings and ambitions. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is so talented and far-sighted, he really followed the right person!

That day, he was told that it was his turn to perform.

The person in charge of Li's business told him that the situation had changed and that if he carried out the plan now, his life might be in danger, but they would always protect him in secret.

Lu Youliang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The lives of my entire family are all thanks to Your Highness. I am willing to die to repay Your Highness's kindness. I only hope that you can take care of my wife and children in the future."

The person in charge said, "You can't die. If you die, all your highness's plans for so long will fail. You must save your life at all costs!"

"The East Factory should also want to protect you now. You can trust them temporarily and go back to Beijing with them."

Jiang Li's plan was: after Lu Youliang showed up, she would let him follow the people from the East Factory and arrive in the capital under the protection of the East Factory. This would clear the suspicion that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Prince of Jin had hidden him in advance.

What she was betting on was that the East Depot would protect Lu Youliang at all costs.

When the King of Qi and his men learned that Lü Youliang had appeared, they would stop at nothing to stop him from entering the capital and kill him on the way.

The troops of the Eastern Depot or the Duke of Zhenguo would be able to capture these pursuers alive and catch them red-handed.

The entire process was closely linked and was all within her calculations.

In case something went wrong in any link and Lv Youliang died unexpectedly, she also had a backup plan four: let Lv Youliang's wife and children take the blood letter written in advance by Lv Youliang and go to the capital to file a complaint.

Nangong Qinghe was impressed when he saw her meticulous plans, which were strict, thorough, and took every aspect into consideration.

He really wanted to keep her by his side at all costs!

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Youliang showed up, he was taken away by the people from the East Factory and was immediately hunted down by wave after wave of people.

It was the New Year's Day and there were not many people from the East Factory left in Shanxi. They fought bloody battles all the way, trying their best to protect Lu Youliang and break out of the encirclement.

"Hold on a little longer, Lord Xie has brought people to pick us up!"

A Dongchang guard said this and swung his knife at the masked man in black who caught up with them.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew from the sky and hit the Dongchang soldier who was protecting Lu Youliang!

He screamed and fell off his horse.

Lu Youliang turned his head in panic and saw another sharp arrow flashing with cold light, whistling towards him!

My life is over! Lu Youliang closed his eyes in despair.
