Chapter 631: Confused and Helpless
Mu Qing sighed: "I know you are worried about Miss Du's safety, but if you want to save her, you must first protect yourself."
I guess Miss Du doesn't want to see herself coming out and find that a lot of people she liked to be close to have died.
Lu Yunjue pondered for a while and then said, "With my martial arts skills, it shouldn't be difficult to sneak into Prefect Shen's house quietly. I heard that Lord Chu lives in his house. Why don't I go there quietly and tell him what happened?"
"Is this a bit risky?" Mu Qing asked.
Lu Yunjue's eyes were firm: "As long as I am careful, there will be no danger. Besides, the only person who can control me is Lord Chu. As long as he doesn't behead me immediately, I will have a chance to tell the truth!"
Although Mu Qing couldn't hide his worry in his eyes, he nodded: "Okay, as you say."
"There is no time to lose, I'll leave now!" Lu Yunjue stood up and hurried out.
But at this moment, the door was forced open again. It was Zhou Chenghe who rushed in with a group of yamen runners and Zhou family disciples. He spoke sternly and when he saw Lu Yunjue, he shouted decisively, "The official documents have arrived. Why don't you arrest this suspect immediately?!"
Judging from his posture, he was actually going to arrest someone directly.
"Zhou Chenghe, what are you doing?!" Lu Yunjue shouted.
But just as he was speaking, the Zhou family disciples had already led the yamen runners to surround him, and without any hesitation, the fists like raindrops came straight towards him.
Mu Qing saw through the trick immediately and warned, "Yun Jue, be careful! You must not use a sword or a knife, or they will easily frame you!"
If he was charged with violently resisting arrest, Zhou Chenghe and others would definitely use this as an excuse to send Lu Yunjue to his death.
After the incident was over, the worst that could happen was that Lu Yunjue was guilty and actually injured the yamen runners, and the yamen runners accidentally killed him while defending themselves.
If the Zhou family then hypocritically withdraws their accusations against the Lu family, they can gain a good reputation while sacrificing a key member of the Lu family.
By then, Mu Qing would be the only one in the Lu family who possessed martial arts skills. He would be unable to take care of himself just protecting his wife and mother, so what kind of trouble could he possibly cause?
Zhou Chenghe's eyes flashed when he heard this, obviously because his evil intentions were exposed.
Seeing that Lu Yunjue was actually surrounded by twenty or thirty people, Mu Qing was about to fly over to help, but he keenly heard a sound of breaking air.
He quickly gathered his strength and turned around, his fingertips lightly brushing in front of Hu Xin'er, and then he firmly clamped a stone between his fingers.
Although it was just a small stone, it was wrapped with the strong wind of Zhou Cheng and this martial arts master. If it hit Hu Xiner's belly, it would definitely cause serious consequences. Even if the most precious herbs were used, it would be difficult to save the life of the fetus.
Zhou Chenghe's move was extremely vicious.
Mu Qing angrily questioned, "Zhou Chenghe, you are also a man of the martial arts world. You should know the martial arts world's affairs. Why did you want to harm my wife's life?"
A hint of smile flashed across Zhou Chenghe's eyes, but on the surface he just shrugged helplessly: "My martial arts skills are not as good as Master Lu's. I just accidentally hit you off target. Why should Master Lu take it so seriously?"
"You!" Mu Qing really wanted to beat him up, but he had to stay by Hu Xiner's side to protect her.
Hu Xin'er was also frightened: "Zhou Chenghe, don't be complacent. Evildoers will be punished by heaven. You have done so many bad things, there will be no good end for you."
Seeing that they had been pinned down by him, and Lu Yunjue had also been trapped in the crowd, Zhou Chenghe's smile deepened: "Oh? Really? I only know that good people don't live long."
He was not a fool. When he saw Lu Yunjue reveal Lord Chu's identity, he knew that something was wrong.
Even Prefect Shen didn't know Mr. Chu's true identity, but Second Young Master Lu actually knew it, which shows that this family is very important.
In fact, apart from necessary events, the Lu family is really very low-key in Qingzhou City. Counting, they have been in Qingzhou City for almost a month, but no one knows what the Lu family members are called!
This small detail is usually not noticed by others, but when Zhou Chenghe thought of it, he was shocked.
What kind of person would deliberately hide their name?
And what kind of person could know more about the Anbu than even Prefect Shen, a high-ranking official in the imperial court?
As he thought of this, his eyes grew deeper, and a fake smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Lu, we've known each other for so long, but I still don't know your name."
Mu Qing naturally heard the testing tone in his words and understood that he had begun to doubt his identity, and his eyes became even colder.
Hu Xin'er sneered, "My husband is a lay disciple of the Dao Sect. Do you believe it?"
"What? Dao Zong?" Zhou Chenghe was shocked. Miss Zhou's secret method of changing her face was obtained from a dying disciple of Dao Zong!
If this Mr. Lu is really a disciple of the Dao Sect, then could it be that they have already learned that Miss Zhou is going to swap faces with Miss Du?
In this case, it is understandable that the Lu family deliberately burned the medicinal herbs in the room when Miss Du was arrested.
His murderous intent grew stronger. The young lady's face-changing was a top secret and must not be leaked to others.
However, he still lacked a legitimate reason to kill this family.
Moreover, the most urgent task is to guard against this group of people from bringing the matter to the attention of Lord Chu.
He had just looked carefully and found that Lord Chu now trusted Prefect Shen very much and even turned a blind eye to the affairs of the Lu family.
As long as the Lu family does not take the initiative to protest for injustice, Lord Chu will never come to them to seek justice for them.
And this is a great opportunity for their Zhou family.
His gaze was fixed on the couple, like a leech, making them feel uncomfortable.
Hu Xin'er couldn't help but clutch Mu Qing's sleeve and whispered, "Husband, what should we do now? Are we just going to let them slaughter us?"
But the only response Mu Qing could give her was silence.
He looked at Hu Xiner, his eyes filled with confusion and powerlessness.
"Perhaps, after entering the cell, we will have another chance to talk to Lord Chu?" He said this with some difficulty.
However, both husband and wife knew in their hearts that this hope was very slim.
Since Zhou Chenghe was able to bring people in so rashly, it meant that revealing Lord Chu's identity had already aroused their vigilance.
They will never let the Lu family have the chance to meet Lord Chu!
And appeal to Lord Chu in court? Don't be ridiculous. Lord Chu may not even sit in the court by then.
