The East Street Alley in the capital city is usually bustling with people and bustling with people. At night, people are still coming and going. However, just one street away from the imperial palace, a thrilling street robbery has just happened.
"Help! There are robbers!" A terrified cry pierced the night sky. People stopped and looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment.
Then, someone else screamed, "Oh no! Someone's been killed!" Fear instantly enveloped the entire street, and the crowd that was originally coming and going suddenly fell into panic.
Some people were frightened and fled early, trying to find a safe place to hide; some stood quietly and watched. And more people stood on both sides of the street, stunned by this sudden change and at a loss.
The entire East Street seemed to be plunged into chaos and panic. Seeing a group of robbers being killed to the ground in an instant, the crowd did not dare to go forward and just stood there, becoming even more terrified.
Some people ran to call the city guards, and some ran to the government office to report to the authorities.
Not long after, General Cheng came with a team of city guards. Seeing the bloody scene with no one alive or dead, he was shocked and said, "My God, this general is in big trouble."
General Cheng asked in panic, "Where did the bandits go?"
He prepared to take people to chase the criminals.
The officials from the government office also rushed over. When they saw the masked man lying on the ground, Captain Duan looked up and asked, "Could it be that these are the bandits?"
Those passers-by who were so frightened that their souls were about to fly out of their bodies mustered up the courage to follow them, saying, "They are bandits."
"They are bandits. Who are they going to rob?" General Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly.
A jewelry store owner came out boldly and replied, "They look like people from the Qi residence. One of them is wearing a veil, and the other is carrying two sacks."
Captain Duan suddenly understood, "It turned out that the Qi family went to the bank to withdraw money and were robbed by these people."
When General Cheng heard that the people who were robbed were from the Qi Mansion, his eyes turned and he thought of the expert beside Miss Qi. He smiled secretly, "This general wants to see where this unlucky bandit came from."
He waved his hand and said, "See if there are any survivors. Take them to the dungeon for interrogation."
After several yamen runners bent over to check, they exclaimed: "My God, the other party's skills are very good, all of them are fatal with one blow, and now three of them are still venting their anger."
Captain Duan said softly, "I'm afraid the other party deliberately left three people alive so that we can make contributions."
General Cheng signaled, "Take him away quickly, otherwise he will be silenced."
"Take them away quickly." The two teams dragged away all the masked men, dead and alive.
When the people in the Lu Mansion heard the servant who was inquiring about the news come back and report: "It is rumored that ten masked robbers were killed in the street. It was a tragic scene." They were all stunned.
"How is this possible!" Old Master Lu was shocked.
You know, those men were all skilled, but they were killed when facing two women?
"Go and collect the bodies quickly." Old Master Lu came to his senses and hurriedly arranged people.
The man went and quickly ran back, "It's bad, old man, I heard that seven of the ten people we sent died and three were injured. They were all taken away by the city guards and the government office."
"This is a big trouble." Old Master Lu was very upset.
His eldest son arranged for someone to kill the eldest daughter of the Qi family, and he also got his consent.
Now, if the three survivors can’t withstand the attack, their Lu family will face a huge crisis.
At this point, the Lu family had no other choice. Master Lu ordered, "Fengyun, find a way to send someone to the government office to deliver a letter to the survivors. Don't tell anyone. Their families will be rewarded handsomely."
Lu Fengyun felt heavy-hearted and could only respond, "Yes, uncle."
He had a hunch that the Lu family's move to assassinate Miss Qi was a dead end.
Ghost Valley
It was late at night, but Wang Qin was still awake. He sat in his study, the flickering candlelight illuminating the worry on his face.
A guard quietly walked into the study, bowed and reported a piece of news in a low voice: "Master, I just got the news that the Lu family sent ten people to assassinate Miss Qi in the street, but fortunately Miss Qi is not seriously injured." Upon hearing the news, Wang Qin's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He slammed the table in anger and stood up, with anger flashing in his eyes.
Wang Qin ordered without hesitation: "Send someone to paralyze the head of the Lu family on the bed immediately! Send someone to disrupt their business." His voice was cold and firm, full of majesty.
As Wang Qin's order was issued, a storm was about to slowly sweep across the Lu family.
Wang Qin did not kill the head of the Lu family immediately because he took into consideration that the Lu family had made enemies with the Qi family. Once the means of revenge were obvious, the Lu family would target the Qi family and cause trouble for the Qi family.
Lu Mansion
That night, perhaps because he was too worried, the head of the Lu family became ill. He invited several doctors overnight, and after taking his pulse, they all said, "Old Master Lu has had a stroke."
"Ah? What should we do then?" The Lu family was all terrified.
Now is the critical moment of fighting with the Qi Mansion. Old Master Lu is the patriarch of the family and the biological father or grandfather of the several branches of the Lu family. If he passes away, the Lu Mansion will have to observe three years of mourning and may not be able to defeat the Qi Mansion.
"Just ask a royal doctor to treat you, and you will get better slowly." An old doctor gave advice.
The Lu family decided to invite a royal doctor to treat the old man after daybreak. "Even if it costs a high price, we must cure the old man's illness."
Royal Palace
When the new emperor heard about the robbery in the capital, his face was gloomy and angry sparks flashed in his eyes. He slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.
"What? Robbers appeared on East Street, which is just across the wall from the imperial palace? How dare they be so bold! I will never let them go! Find out for me who did it! Once we find out, their property will be confiscated and their entire clan will be exterminated immediately!" The new emperor said gritting his teeth.
His voice was full of majesty and domineering, which made people tremble. He could not tolerate such a thing happening under his nose, especially near the palace. It was a provocation to the royal dignity.
The new emperor was angry about the loss of his huge fortune and hated the bandits. Suddenly, when he heard that there were bandits, he wanted to have them caught and skinned alive.
Deputy Commander Niu stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the guards have reported that the man has been taken to the dungeon for interrogation."
"Go and see who is so bold."
"I obey your order." Deputy Commander Niu saluted and prepared to leave.
"Slow down." The new emperor waved his hand.
Deputy Commander Niu took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, please give your orders."
"Take this opportunity to take a team to look for the escaped guards of the Second Prince..." the new emperor whispered to Deputy Commander Niu.
"Yes, I understand."
Deputy Commander Niu was sent by the new emperor to find the second prince's subordinates. Although he was given an important position, the task was difficult and he might be killed by the enemy if he was not careful.
Those people are desperate criminals, it's not easy for them to be caught.
He walked towards the dungeon in a depressed mood. His cousin Niu Er followed him and asked in a low voice: "General, what's the matter?"
The two brothers supported each other in the palace, relied on each other, and helped each other.
When Niu Er was secretly meeting with Princess Yong'an in the harem, Deputy Commander Niu was the captain and provided him with many opportunities.
Now that Deputy Commander Niu is in trouble, Niu Er is willing to help.
"Your Majesty asked me to look for the Second Prince's men. Where can we find those who escaped?" Deputy Commander Niu sighed and shook his head.
His name is Niu Fu, and his family rank is Niu Dalang. He is short, with a round head and a pair of eyes that keep blinking.
Niu Er's real name was Niu Tian, and he was also Niu Erlang. He was tall and handsome, so he was favored by Princess Yong'an. He had secret meetings with her and enjoyed himself, and received a lot of rewards, half of which he gave to his cousin.
Niu Er suddenly had an idea and gave his cousin a suggestion, "There is a way. When the time comes, just kill someone and bring the head to tell us who it is."
"Ah, killing innocent people and claiming credit for it is a capital crime." Deputy Commander Niu was frightened.
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?"
"Well, then you kill them and I'll take the credit, and we'll share the benefits."
"No problem, cousin." Niu Er smiled.
The two brothers teamed up and led a group of people to the dungeon.
