Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Take Lu Junyi, Yan Qing, and all their accomplices away! Severely punish them!"

Liang Zhongshu immediately ordered the yamen runners to drag Lu Junyi and his group away!

“Lu Junyi, for the sake of our past relationship, just confess. That way you won’t have to suffer.”

Li Gu stood to the side and said coldly.

"Li Gu, you despicable man! Bah!"

Lu Junyi seemed completely stunned, letting the yamen runners take him away, but when Yan Qing passed by Li Gu, he spat at him fiercely!

"Xiao Yi, I'm so sorry."

After hearing Yan Qing's words, Lu Junyi turned around and a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Yi was his only solace at that moment.

Lu Junyi, he does have good judgment!

"Clap! Clap!..."

Because the goal this time was to kill Lu Junyi, Liang Zhongshu instructed his yamen runners to use ruthless methods, striking him with water and fire sticks without any mercy!

In no time, the men were covered in blood, their skin torn and bleeding.

But Lu Junyi really showed his tough guy nature at this moment. Despite taking so many heavy blows, he didn't utter a sound!

While Yan Qing and the others weren't as tough as Lu Junyi, they still gritted their teeth.

Seeing the men like this, Liang Zhongshu really wanted to just kill them, but his advisor reminded him that if he killed them now, the onlookers would spread the word, and he couldn't do that.

Liang Zhongshu listened to his advisor's words and found them very reasonable, so he ordered that all of them be thrown into prison!

The people of Daming Prefecture love to watch a good show, so a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the yamen. Brother Wu and Xiao Liuzi were also among the crowd, watching as Lu Junyi and the others, covered in blood, were chained and then taken into prison.

This made Brother Wu and Xiao Liu feel like their hearts were bleeding.

If they weren't outnumbered and outmatched, they would have stormed in and snatched the people away!

“My lord, Lu Junyi’s personal involvement with the bandits has nothing to do with anyone from the original Lu family. I am willing to donate one-third of the original Lu family’s property to the government to prove the innocence of the Li family.”

At this moment, Li Gu said to Liang Zhongshu.

"Yes, Li Gu, you are a sensible person. I will stand up for you. From now on, you will be the master of the Li family."

Liang Zhongshu was very satisfied. In this way, no one would say that he was after Lu Junyi's family property.

"The Lu family mansion, once so grand, is gone just like that."

The onlookers were also deeply saddened by the situation.

Of course, although they knew what was going on, they couldn't say it directly.

After all, the entire Daming Prefecture belonged to Liang Zhongshu.

Wu and his companion were helpless; they could only continue to mingle among the common people before leaving the government office.

The two wanted to visit Lu Junyi and the others in prison, but they couldn't. After Liang Zhongshu imprisoned Lu Junyi, he kept him under strict guard, and he was even planning to exile Lu Junyi to a faraway place!

However, Brother Wu soon learned that Suo Chao, a regular soldier of the Daming Prefecture Garrison, had a good relationship with Lu Junyi and was also hot-tempered. So, on the evening of the day Lu Junyi was imprisoned, Suo Chao went directly to argue with Liang Zhongshu!

Liang Zhongshu may indeed need to rely on Suo Chao's military strength, or he may indeed feel guilty, so he tacitly allowed Suo Chao to visit Lu Junyi.

Brother Wu felt that the opportunity had arrived.

"Xiao Liu, wait for my news. I'm going to meet this Suo Zhengpai. Wait for my news at the inn. If I don't come back, go back to the mountain and ask for help!"

"Brother Wu, should I go?"

Xiao Liuzi felt that since Brother Wu was the leader, he should be the one to go.

"You're still young, you have a lot to learn, follow orders."

After settling Xiao Liuzi in, Brother Wu disguised himself as a wandering swordsman and went to find Suo Chao.

Daming Prefecture Remaining Department.

"I need a proper ID card. There are strangers looking for me outside."

A soldier informed Suo Chao.

Suo Chao was surprised that a stranger was looking for him in Daming Prefecture.

"who?"

"I don't know, I just want to invite the real one to a small tavern outside for a chat."

Suo Chao was in a bad mood today because of Lu Junyi's detention, but when he heard that someone was going to treat him to drinks, he thought, "Okay, I'll go!"

As soon as Suo Chao entered the small tavern at the entrance of the garrison, he saw Brother Wu in the corner, with wine and dishes already laid out on the table.

Wu looked up and saw Suo Chao, who truly lived up to his reputation as a vanguard!

He was over seven feet tall, with a round face, large ears, wide lips and a square mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick beard around his cheeks. He looked majestic and dignified.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suo Chao took his seat immediately.

"I need your help, sir."

Wu Ge knew that Suo Chao had a short temper, so he didn't hide anything and went straight to stating his purpose.

"Beg me? I'm just a lowly regular soldier, what can I do?"

Suo Chao poured himself a drink and then picked up his chopsticks to eat.

“Suo Zhengpai, I have a past relationship with Master Lu. I originally intended to visit him today, but I discovered that he has been wrongfully imprisoned. Suo Zhengpai, I would like to visit Master Lu. I wonder if you could do me this favor.”

Suo Chao paused for a moment while eating.

"You wish to visit Master Lu?"

"Yes, I met Master Lu in the martial arts world, and I came here specifically to visit him."

"Brother Wu said."

"It's a pity, but Master Lu has been imprisoned for some reason, so you won't be able to see him."

Suo Chao put down his chopsticks, his face expressionless.

“But I heard that you can see So Zhengpai. So I would like to ask So Zhengpai for a favor and let me in to see him.”

Brother Wu poured wine for Suo Chao and then made his request.

"You...you're not an ordinary person, are you?"

Suo Chao didn't pick up his wine glass, but stared straight at Brother Wu.

“I don’t believe that Master Lu has joined the thieves, but he was just imprisoned today, and it’s such a coincidence that a friend from the martial arts world has come to visit him. Brother, you’d better tell the truth.”

Well, the vanguard isn't stupid!

“I am indeed an old friend of the wealthy man. We have been through thick and thin together. I came here to catch up with him, but as soon as I entered the city, I heard that he was wrongfully imprisoned. I had no choice but to come to Suo Zhengpai.”

"Please! I need the real thing!"

Wu Ge was certainly not intimidated by Suo Chao's simple methods. He spoke in a way that was half true and half false, and it sounded very reasonable.

"You're not a bandit from Liangshan, are you?"

Suo Chao asked directly.

"No."

Brother Wu wasn't worried at all. "I'm a member of the Liangshan army. What are the Liangshan bandits? They have nothing to do with me."

"Alright, tomorrow morning, wait for me at the Infantry Commandery. I'll take you in, but it will only take half an incense stick's time."

Suo Chao stared at Brother Wu for a long time before finally agreeing to his request.

Perhaps in Suo Chao's view, it didn't matter even if the person in front of him really was from Liangshan.

It's just one person; letting him go visit is no big deal.

Moreover, Suo Chao did have some unspoken thoughts in his heart.

He also knew that Liang Zhongshu's case had been handled hastily this time, and he didn't want Lu Junyi to die in prison like that.

If Liangshan can really save Lu Junyi, that would be great.

"Thank you, Mr. Suo Zheng. Please enjoy the food and wine."

Brother Wu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Suo Chao, then got up and left. He was going back to tell Xiao Liu that they should leave Daming Prefecture early the next morning and ride back to Liangshan at top speed!

Watching Brother Wu leave and looking at the table full of food and wine, Suo Chao sighed slightly.

"Shopkeeper, please wrap up the wine and food for me. I'll take it back to my brothers."

"Alright, Suo Zhengpai, but the food and drinks today aren't to your liking? They don't look touched."

The shopkeeper certainly recognized Suo Chao. He found it strange that Suo Zhengpai was usually so unrestrained when eating.

"I'm not feeling well, so I don't have much of an appetite. I'll wrap it up."
