Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

For Lu Yao, this means that at the court level, the more distant the relationship with Lu Yi is, the better.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Yao will start to play the victim next.

Sure enough, just as Wei Wu was guessing this, Lu Yao spoke again.

"They burned down my Songbai Tower this time. If it weren't for your men, I would have perished in the flames that night."

"I don't know what I'll do next time. I'm at the end of my rope, so I can only do whatever I can to survive."

Having said that, Lu Yao turned his head and glanced at Shen Lin and the others before continuing:

"I know they can't make the decision, so I can only use this method to force you to come here in person as a token of sincerity."

"I will tell you everything, and then I will give you two hundred thousand taels of silver as a life-saving payment in exchange for your life!"

Wei Wu smiled faintly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and played with it for a while.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yao playfully, and said slowly:

"Two hundred thousand taels? The Lu family has been operating in Jiangnan for so many years, and they even have the Crown Princess to support them."

"Secretly, they even sold grain to the White Lotus Sect, allowing them to supply the remnants of the Yuan and Mongolian remnants. They made a fortune!"

"And you are the last heir of the Lu family, and Lu Yi only left you this little silver. How can I not believe it?"

It seemed as if Lu Yao had already prepared himself mentally for such a situation.

After hearing what Wei Wu said, he remained very calm in both expression and tone.

"In order to avoid worries about making a living in the future, I do have some money left, probably only about 50,000 taels."

"If you think two hundred thousand is not enough, how about I keep only one thousand for my living and give the rest to you?"

Although Wei Wu did not value money, he would not refuse if he could get hundreds of thousands for free.

However, the two hundred thousand yuan in front of him was obviously not enough, and Lu Yao definitely had more than that.

Seeing that Wei Wu had not responded, Lu Yao also remained silent.

However, as time slowly passed, the expression on his face began to become a little anxious.

The atmosphere in the private room also became strange and quiet, and finally Lu Yao sighed helplessly.

"Five hundred thousand taels is all the property that Lu Yi left me. I am willing to give all of this money to you, my Lord."

"I only hope to be able to survive. I am just an illegitimate child, hidden away to inherit the incense. I will not be given much wealth."

"If you still don't believe me, just kill me! I can't escape death in the end anyway!"

After Lu Yao finished speaking, Wei Wu, who had not responded, finally spoke.

"Wouldn't it be better if you behaved earlier? Your Lu family has committed a heinous crime punishable by extermination of all nine generations of your clan. Saving your life is extremely risky."

While speaking, Wei Wu pointed directly at the dishes on the table and greeted enthusiastically:

"Come, come, eat something first. Don't worry, for the sake of five hundred thousand taels, I will definitely give you a way out!"

Although Wei Wu was so enthusiastic, he didn't even pick up the chopsticks.

He just looked at Lu Yao with a warm face and gestured to Zhang Hai to hand a pair of chopsticks to Lu Yao.

I want to see if Lu Yao will eat these dishes.

Under Wei Wu's gaze, Lu Yao took the chopsticks from Zhang Hai, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

While chewing, there was a hint of appreciation for the taste of the dish in his eyes, and there was nothing wrong at all.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wu's eyes flashed with a gleam. He didn't say anything, but he was secretly pondering in his heart.

"When did my whereabouts get exposed? And how did these people recognize me?"

Ever since he discovered that the waiter was acting strangely and that the dishes were drugged, Wei Wu suspected that Yanlou was a setup.
