Chapter 140 Why Hurt My Lu Family

Gu Xingzhao originally thought that the old man would bring Lu Xingyao with him for such a matter, but he didn't expect that he would bring Lu Xingyan with him. After all, he had brought Lu Xingyao with him when he was in Laiyuan Town before.

Lu Xingyao did not rush to go. He knew in his heart that there would be no shortage of skilled people around Prince Su, so it would be better to bring someone with good brains instead of someone with good skills.

As for intelligence, he admitted that no one here could compare to his uncle except the old man himself.

Du Hangwu did not think this was a surprise. He looked suspiciously at the two men who had accompanied him into the county today.

The one who was with Lu Xingyao today came back with things in his hands, and was the first to finish shopping. The other one came back very late. Only Lu San bought two things, so it was obvious that he would not spend that long.

This person had been discovered by Yu Heng before when he gave him the news in Laiyuan Town. Unexpectedly, he is still working for him now.

If it were before, he would definitely not care about these subordinates. After all, they were just leaking some information in exchange for some money.

But now, he and the Lu family are in the same boat, and it was because of his carelessness that what happened today happened.

Even if the Lu family doesn't know the inside story of this matter, I should give them an explanation.

Du Hangwu raised his hand and called over two of his confidants, "You two, go and tie up Houzi for me."

Both of them were stunned, thinking of the time when Du Hangwu killed Li Si without saying a word, and their necks felt cold, "Boss, did Houzi commit a crime?"

Du Hangwu glanced at the two of them and said, "Don't ask questions that you don't need to ask."

Hearing the tone of the words, the two men immediately realized that Houzi must have committed a serious crime. They did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately took the ropes to tie him up and the cloth to gag him, ready to go and deal with him.

At this time, Lu Qing had already brought Lu Xingyan into Ji County. This matter involved Prince Su, and the escorting officials did not dare to show up. It was already convenient to let the two of them leave the team and go alone.

Gu Xingzhao followed slowly from behind. He originally thought that the old man was very energetic. After all, he could still play and fight with the younger generations and his mentality was very young. But now, seeing him leaning on a cane and needing Lu Xingyan's support, he felt that he was really old.

They were all exiled. That dog emperor and Prince Su were fighting, why did they bother her little old man? The throne was not for the little old man to sit on. They are really inhumane.

Gu Xingzhao gave Lu Qing a reassurance: "Lu Qing, don't be afraid, I'm right behind you."

If Prince Su dared to attack Lu Qing, even if she couldn't kill him, she would at least cut off one of his legs.

[Warning! The host is prohibited from actively harming high-ranking ancient plane characters who pose no threat to the safety of the ward.]

Gu Xingzhao was silent for a long time. When he killed those robbers before, the system did not give such a warning. It seems that the status of Prince Su is too high. After all, he is the next emperor.

Although Lu Qing was not afraid of anything, the old ancestor's words still made him feel much more at ease.

Lu Xingyan guessed that the ancestor would come, but he didn't expect that she would follow him all the time.

He couldn't help but wonder: Did our ancestors walk on the ground or fly in the air?

As soon as the two entered Ji County, two people dressed as guards came to greet them. They welcomed them into the house, served them hot tea and snacks, and treated everyone they met with respect.

Gu Xingzhao was surprised. It seemed that Prince Su still wanted to win over Lu Qing.

However, Lu Qing did not touch the snacks on the table. The father and son waited in the hall for a cup of tea before Prince Su appeared.

The man was wearing a brocade robe with gold embroidery. He had an upright posture and a pair of eyes like dark and deep lakes. Unfortunately, there was a hideous scar on the right side of his face, extending from the side of his eye to the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Lu, how are you?"

Gu Xingzhao was startled. It was because when he walked in and smiled, the scar on his face looked particularly hideous, making people dare not look directly at it. It was terrifying.

She thought she was not the kind of person who judged people by their appearance, but Prince Su looked eerie.

Lu Qing led his son to stand up and greet Prince Su, bowing with great respect, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

However, before the ceremony was completed, Prince Su stopped him and personally helped the man up.

"This is not the capital, let alone the palace. Lord Lu, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Xingzhao couldn't help but look at Xiao Lan a few more times. His words and actions seemed quite friendly.

She remembered that Prince Su used to be well-known in the palace for being courteous to others. He was even kind to his servants and never put on airs. It seemed that his temperament changed after he was disfigured.

But only Lu Qing knew how decisive and ruthless Prince Su was hidden under his seemingly amiable appearance.

In front of me is a man who is willing to kill his wife and family to save himself. He has been like this since before he was disfigured. He is full of scheming and calculations, and treats human life as worthless in order to achieve his goals.

The late emperor's two sons were more cruel than the other.

The three of them sat down, and Prince Su had Lu Youtang and Ming Yuan brought up.

The two were brought into the hall. Lu Qing stood up suddenly. He saw that his granddaughter had a cloth wrapped around her forehead. Blood was seeping out. Her face was pale.

Ming Yuan, who was standing next to him, had injured her arm. Her clothes were stained with blood, but she didn't even have a bandage.

Lu Qing clenched his cane tightly under his sleeve. This is really too much!

As soon as he saw his grandfather and third uncle, Lu Youtang's eyes turned red and he threw himself into his third uncle's arms, crying.

Because she is the youngest generation, her family members dote on this little girl. They would feel sorry for her even when she got in ordinary bumps and bruises, but they had never let her get hurt so badly.

Lu Xingyan's usually gentle eyes were now tinged with hostility. His thin lips were tightly pursed as he cast a pair of cold eyes at Prince Su.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, why did you hurt my Lu family?"

Prince Su was stunned for a moment, and thought about it in his mind, but he didn't recognize who the person in front of him was. Judging from his appearance, he was very similar to Lu Qing. Could it be Lu Qing's sickly young son who had been relying on medicine to prolong his life for many years?

From the looks of him, I can't tell that he is weak at all. He has more of Lu Qing's demeanor than the previous two.

He turned to explain to Lu Qing, "It was not my order to take the granddaughter away today. It was because the people below saw that I wanted to have a talk with the old man, so they took the initiative to make the decision. During the dispute, Miss Lu was injured. I have punished them. I hope the old man will forgive me."

Gu Xingzhao even wanted to move forward and take a closer look at what Prince Su's face was made of. With just a few casual words, he cleared himself of all charges.

If he dares to take responsibility for his actions, I can still look up to him and put the blame on the people below him. He behaves like a villain but tries to act like a gentleman.

When Lu Qing came here, he wanted to talk to her in a nice way, but now that he saw his granddaughter injured like this, his temper rose up, "May I ask what kind of punishment the prince has given to the subordinates?"

Prince Su frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect Lu Qing to ask further questions, "I have already let them receive twenty boards each."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xingyan on the side sneered, "Twenty strokes of the cane?"
