"Bang!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several bodies were thrown into the wall from outside.

Hearing strange noises coming from the other side of the wall, the chief guard of the prime minister's mansion rushed over with his men and saw the corpse on the ground.

At first glance, aren’t these people lying on the ground the brothers sent by their prime minister to capture people in Lu Mansion?

How come they're all...dead?

The head guard was a bit skeptical and used his hands to check the people lying on the ground, but found that none of them were breathing. Looking again, he found that most of them had been killed by a single arrow.

"Hurry, go and tell the Prime Minister about this." When the leader of the guards saw that something was wrong, he sent someone to inform the Prime Minister.

That night, Prime Minister Wan entered the room of his newly brought-in concubine. Just as he took off his pants and prepared to do it, he heard the anxious voice of the steward outside.

"Prime Minister, this is not good..."

"roll!"

Prime Minister Wan, who was interrupted while doing his work, was in a bad mood and picked up a pillow and smashed it against the door.

Hearing the "dong" sound, the steward outside knew that he had disturbed their master's good things and made their master angry. So he didn't dare to continue shouting and could only wait at the door.

After a while, when the noise in the house stopped.

The steward outside heard their master ask "What's the matter?" from inside the house.

"Prime Minister, all the people we sent out were killed..."

He then hurried to the door and whispered to their master that all the people they had sent out had been killed and their bodies thrown back into their mansion.

"I underestimated him!" Prime Minister Wan became even angrier when he heard Lu Mingfei's provocation.

Moreover, he never expected that a small civil servant would have such a powerful guard at home, who would actually kill all the people he sent!

"Go, and arrange twice as many people. If they don't bring that brat Lu Mingfei back tonight, don't let them come back!"

"Tell them, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies!" If he wanted to capture Lu Mingfei alive before, then now, Prime Minister Wan thinks that it doesn't matter if Lu Mingfei dies?

Maybe it can even help you solve a big worry in the future!

"Master, we are making too big a move here. I'm afraid... if the master in the palace finds out, he might be unhappy." The steward asked worriedly.

"I will handle the palace myself. These are not things you should worry about!" Prime Minister Wan was not worried at all that his grandson would know what he had done.

Even if he knew, so what? Could this grandson really punish his grandfather for an outsider?

"Yes, sir, I will arrange it right away." The steward could hear their master's displeasure and did not dare to ask any further. He had to lead the guard who was outside with him away.

Everyone in the Lu Mansion had already expected that the Prime Minister's Mansion would send a second wave of assassins, so they were already on high alert.

As soon as the second wave of killers arrived, they began the second round of shooting.

However, this time the Prime Minister's Mansion sent more assassins than the first time, so they were unable to kill all of them immediately. As a result, some assassins escaped their encirclement and ran to the courtyard where their master lived.

Guard Ma and his brothers chased after the killer.

When they arrived at their adults' yard, they stopped the killers.

However, the number of killers this time was too large, and they were unable to stop all of them. One killer slipped through the net and ran to the house where their adults lived.

"Bang!"

"call out!"

The moment the door of the house was pushed open, an iron arrow flew out and hit the killer directly in the throat.

The killer standing outside the door had his eyes wide open before he died, with a look of disbelief and unwillingness to close his eyes.

"Bang!"

Then the killer fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Lu Mingfei came out of the house holding a crossbow. Seeing the situation in the yard, he sneered, raised the crossbow at the second killer, and pressed the button on the door.

The second killer dodged his first iron arrow, but failed to dodge the second.

Seeing the second killer fall, Lu Mingfei directly issued an order, "All the thieves who broke into our Lu Mansion today, all of them, kill without mercy!"

"Yes!" Guard Ma responded loudly, picked up his sword and went to deal with these killers.

Lu Mingfei stood at the door without moving, but from time to time he raised the crossbow in his hand and pressed the button on the door.

As long as he takes action, he will never fail.

It took a little longer to deal with the second wave of killers than the first wave.

When the last assassin fell, Guard Ma came to their master and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. But is anyone injured?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"No, we are fine." Guard Ma looked at the corpse on the ground and told their master that a group of killers had come not long ago. After they got rid of the people, they threw the corpses back to the prime minister's residence.

After hearing this, Lu Mingfei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "No wonder that old Prime Minister Wan wanted to fight us to the death. Could it be that you guys are the ones who did this?"

"But well done!"

"As for the bodies on the ground, find two carts, load them all onto them, and take them to the gate of their residence."

"Oh, yes, you can give them the carriage. Remember to bring the horse back."

A horse costs a hundred taels of silver. Lu Mingfei is reluctant to give it to that old bastard Prime Minister Wan for nothing!

"Okay, sir, I'll call someone to do it right away." Guard Ma was happy when he heard this, and immediately called someone to do this, and also called someone to clean up their sir's yard.

Don't let this garbage block their adults' eyes.

Seeing their master still standing at the door, Guard Ma quickly invited their master into the house, "Master, please go back inside. It's still early, why don't you go back and get some sleep?"

"I'll sit for a while." Lu Mingfei went back into the house and sat down in the yard of the living room.

Guard Ma asked someone to get a pot of tea, then he went into the house and stood next to their master.

After thinking for a while, he told his family about the capture of the young prostitute. "At first I thought he was one of Prime Minister Wan's men, but he said he wasn't. Then I asked him who sent him, but he refused to tell me."

"Sir, do you want to meet him? Maybe if you ask him, he will be willing to tell you." If it weren't for the fact that the young waiter's identity was a little special, he would have tortured him to extract a confession long ago!

"No need. Let him go after daybreak." Originally, Lu Mingfei was worried that Caifeng was a child from Nanfeng Pavilion. He was young and had no skills. If he went out, he would be bullied and would not be able to survive.

But now that he knows that he has the skills to collect folk songs, he doesn't worry about these things anymore.

He was just a half-grown child who hadn't done anything to hurt him, so he didn't want to kill him.

As for who Caifeng belonged to, Lu Mingfei had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

However, Caifeng was someone he had bought temporarily, not someone who had been deliberately placed by his side, so it was probably just a coincidence. He could just send him away.

"Yes, sir." Hearing their sir's words, Guard Ma knew that their sir was soft-hearted and could not bear to be cruel to the young waiter.

Although he really wanted to kill the young waiter without their parents' knowledge, he was also worried that what he had done would be exposed and known by his parents.

Given the personalities of the adults in their family, they would definitely let him go if they found out that he had killed someone.

Between leaving by himself and letting others go, Guard Ma wisely chose to let others go and stay behind. He had to guard their master for their prince until the prince came to take their master away!

"Okay, I'll go back and lie down for a while. After you guys have cleaned up, go and have a rest." After taking a sip of hot tea, seeing that Guard Ma was still guarding him in the room, Lu Mingfei got up and went back to the inner room to lie down on the bed.

Guard Ma sent their master into the inner room to sleep, and then he moved a chair to sit at the door, with his sword at hand, guarding the people in the room.

The corpses outside were quickly cleaned up and loaded into three large carriages.

In the end, all the bodies were pulled to the gate of the prime minister's residence. The people who went there did not forget to take away the three horses pulling the carts, leaving only three carts and the bodies on them.

***

Many adults living nearby knew about the hustle and bustle in the Xiang Mansion and Lu Mansion that night.

Even the emperor in the palace learned from the servants when he got up and dressed in the morning that his grandfather, Prime Minister Wan, had sent people to the Lu Mansion to kill his ministers.

Upon hearing this, the emperor's first concern was whether his ministers were injured. "Is Lord Lu injured?"

"This...I really don't know." The chief eunuch shook his head.

"Find someone to leave the palace and go to Lu's house to take a look." The emperor was worried that his grandfather would hurt his trusted ministers. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Lu Mingfei was his man.

Most of the other ministers were his grandfather's men.

If he loses even the only minister he trusts, he will have no one around him anymore.

"If Lord Lu has nothing to do, please let him come to the palace to see me."

"Yes, I will arrange it right away." Upon hearing this, the eunuch chief went out and called a young eunuch, asking him to go to Lu Mansion to check the situation and invite Lord Lu into the palace.

After listening, the eunuch nodded and left.

"My grandfather can't even tolerate the only trusted minister around me!" At this time, the emperor did not know that his trusted minister had written a poem to satirize his grandfather yesterday afternoon.

However, even if he knew, the emperor would think that it was just a poem, and his Lord Lu did not spread rumors, but told the truth. His grandfather did not need to be so angry that he sent assassins to his minister's home to kill people!

At the foot of the imperial city, his grandfather actually dared to send assassins to his ministers' homes to kill people. This practice is really too much!
