Chapter 1680: Kill Them All

Lu Yu said to the two again: "Okay, you don't need to pay attention to this matter. You should concentrate on the work at hand. If our plan can work, then the entire Qingshi Temple will be under control. Even if the Da Rui royal family struggles, it will not be able to make any waves, right?"

The so-called plan, of course, means that the elders of the Qingshi Temple will gradually fall one by one, just like the gourd dolls saving their grandfather.

In addition to Bai Zimei's active cooperation, this matter also requires Cui Zhenzhen to configure more stable and controllable poisons as soon as possible, which requires her to continue to study hard.

At this time, Cui Zhenzhen nodded seriously after hearing this, and really began to turn a deaf ear to the outside world and continued to fiddle with a pile of materials in the carriage.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zimei couldn't help but marvel.

I don't know what kind of magic Lu Yu has that makes Cui Zhenzhen, who has always been arrogant, so submissive?

Could it be... really conquered?

Such thoughts made Bai Zimei feel a little hot.

She knew that it was better not to get involved in the current matter, but she couldn't help her curiosity and took a peek out the window from time to time to see what the reaction was from Kangding Prefecture.

An hour passed like this, and the time agreed by Lu Yu was getting closer and closer.

At this time, Han Kuian finally appeared again. This time he was not surrounded by people, but he supported an old man and walked towards Lu Yu's carriage tremblingly.

The old man held a cane and looked sickly pale. He shook for half a day every time he took a step. He looked very weak. If it weren't for Han Kuian's support, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

But even so, the old man still insisted on walking on foot, using his stubbornness to show his utmost importance to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu sat in the carriage and watched this scene quietly through the window without any expression.

"Special Envoy Lu, this is Marquis Huayin..." Han Kuian introduced.

Before Han Kuian finished the introduction, the old man had already bent down deeply and said with tears in his eyes: "It's unfortunate for our family... I didn't teach my son well, so my rebellious son was outspoken and offended the special envoy. It's all my fault! Please rest assured, I will give you an explanation!"

As he spoke, he knocked the ground hard with his cane, as if he was bowing to Lu Yu.

Then, five bloody people were dragged up and thrown in front of the carriage. Everyone was already bloody.

Bai Zimei saw it clearly in the carriage. One of them was Tong Yisheng, the eldest son of Marquis Huayin.

I didn't expect him to be beaten like this. He no longer had any trace of the romantic and dashing young man he was before. It seems that this Marquis Huayin is really cruel enough to do such a thing to his own son...

But Lu Yu was even more cruel. When he saw five bloody and dying people thrown in front of him, he didn't even raise his eyes.

"Han Taishou, what does this mean?" Lu Yu said indifferently.

Han Kuian said: "These people are all drinking buddies with Master Tong, and they are all greedy and lustful! It was they who told Master Tong about the various actions of Envoy Lu during the banquet and encouraged him, which made Master Tong say those wicked words before..."

"I am not saying this to excuse Master Tong, but this is indeed an accidental incident, at least it has nothing to do with Marquis Huayin..."

"These people are naturally not worth dying for, but for Marquis Huayin, please ask Envoy Lu to consider his old age and his hard work for the empire. We can handle this matter internally and not pursue it too much. What do you think?"

Han Kuian said in a very sincere tone.

"Internally handle?" Lu Yu asked, "How to handle it internally?"

Han Kuian looked at Marquis Huayin beside him.

The Marquis of Huayin looked trembling, but his tone was extremely firm. He said: "My son and his friends will all be handed over to the special envoy for disposal. As long as he can calm the anger of the special envoy, he can do anything... even if it means taking his life!"

When he said the last sentence, the Marquis of Huayin closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down, as if he was in great pain.

This performance vividly showed the image of a helpless and strict father who hated his son, and moved everyone around him.

However, Lu Yu was still unmoved and asked casually: "But what if this still can't calm my anger?"

Everyone around was stunned. They didn't expect that even after all this, Lu Yu would not let this matter go.

Marquis Huayin dropped his cane, knelt down in front of Lu Yu, and said in a hoarse voice: "If a child is not taught, it is the fault of the father. Then Old Xiu can only die on behalf of this rebellious son to apologize..."

"Get up!"

Lu Yu waved his hand lightly, and two forces flew out in the air, holding up Marquis Huayin's legs invisibly, preventing him from kneeling down.

"I was just joking just now... After all, you are a dignified marquis, how can you kneel in front of me like this? I don't want your life, nor do I want your son's life..."

Everyone was about to feel relieved, but Lu Yu continued: "However, in order to make this matter legitimate, why not let Marquis Huayin move his entire family to Xihai City?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

This is clearly to kill the Tong family!

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Why? Isn't this possible? I went to the Imperial Capital this time to accept the award of becoming the Grand Duke of Xihai on behalf of my city lord. Huayin Marquis is just a marquis. It is not an insult to him to be included in the Grand Duke of Xihai..."

"How about this as the first condition for me to enter the capital to be awarded? Please ask the governor Han to tell the Imperial Capital that you want us to do what Xihai City does. Everyone knows it. It is impossible to just give a nice title without any substantial benefits!"

"This Huayin Marquis family is the first benefit that our Xihai City requires. If this cannot be achieved, then there is actually nothing to talk about next!"

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he waved to Lu Guoguang and others on the side, indicating that they should drive people away directly.

He was too lazy to guess who was behind this conspiracy. What he did was to overturn the whole table and let everyone get busy.

Since someone didn't want to eat well, then no one should eat.
