Chapter 233 The Needle Stabbed Himself
"Commander Wen, please don't hurt anyone, what does this mean!"
Lu Yongzhu walked out quickly and saw Wen Chengye coming aggressively, followed closely by six imperial guards, each of them with a face covered with frost.
Wen Chengye had a blank expression on his face. He placed his right hand on the sword at his waist, stared at Lu Yongzhu with a cold gaze, and said in a deep voice:
"General Lu, the emperor has ordered that you come with me."
Seeing Wen Chengye being so strong, Lu Yongzhu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Commander Wen, may I ask why the emperor summoned me? Please tell me clearly."
Wen Chengye pretended not to hear it and just raised his chin coldly.
Instantly, clang——
The six imperial guards in the rear moved in unison, drawing their swords one after another. The long swords flashed a cold light in the sunlight, and they surrounded Lu Yongzhu tightly in the middle.
Wen Chengye's expression remained as cold as ever, and his tone was calm:
"General Lu, please don't embarrass me. Please hurry up."
As soon as Wen Chengye finished speaking, Mrs. Lu, supported by Mother Zhao, staggered out.
Seeing Lu Yongzhu being surrounded by the Imperial Guards with swords drawn, she was horrified, her whole body went limp, and she cried out miserably, "Master!"
Wen Chengye glanced at Mrs. Lu's position, and then said calmly: "General Lu, think about the family behind you. I'm sure you don't want to see anything happen to them."
The meaning of this sentence couldn't be more obvious.
Lu Yongzhu looked back at his wife, took a deep breath, and nodded solemnly:
"Since it is the order of His Majesty, I will obey it. Commander Wen, please do not embarrass the family members in the mansion."
After saying this, Lu Yongzhu walked away, his whole body exuding a chilling determination.
Mrs. Lu saw General Lu being dragged out by a group of ferocious imperial guards. She was so scared that her face turned pale, but she still staggered out to chase after him.
"Master! Master!"
She ran and shouted in a crying voice, her voice became sharp because of fear and echoed in the courtyard. Panic and terror filled the air in an instant.
.......
Lu Yunzheng was rushing to the Lu Mansion.
Ever since Cui Daoyuan was placed under house arrest in the Ministry of Personnel, he knew that Prince Rui was likely to take action.
Since he had already talked it out with Jiang Xun, Lin Zhouzhi allowed Lu Yunzheng to do as he pleased.
Therefore, these days, Lu Yunzheng left the villa during the day, but did not go to the command center, but stayed near the villa.
If Prince Rui makes trouble, Gu Xizhi will be an extremely important witness.
After waiting like this for a few days, Lu Yunzheng did not wait for Prince Rui's men, but waited for - Shen Jiasui.
Lu Yunzheng never expected that Shen Jiasui would be willing to come and see him.
He had a lot to say, but Shen Jiasui spoke first: "Lu Yunzheng, Prince Rui entered the palace to meet the emperor today."
Lu Yunzheng was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and all other thoughts disappeared immediately. His expression instantly turned cold and he asked:
"How is it? Is someone coming? Then what are you doing here?"
Shen Jiasui raised his eyes and looked towards Lu Yunzheng. There seemed to be a dark fire burning faintly in the depths of his eyes. In that deep light, coldness and hatred were intertwined.
But amidst the coldness, there was a strange calmness at this moment. Shen Jiasui said calmly:
"Lu Yunzheng, you don't think that your Lu family can stay out of this life, do you?"
Lu Yunzheng was stunned when he heard this.
Of course not.
If anything happens to Shen Zhengsheng, Dad will go to the Emperor to plead for mercy without hesitation, even if it means angering the Emperor.
Isn't it just for this reason that he teamed up with Jiang Xun and Shen Jiasui?
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng hadn't reacted yet, Shen Jiasui couldn't help but chuckle, "Everyone knows that Uncle Lu is on good terms with my father. Now that Prince Rui wants to attack my Shen family, will he let your Lu family go?"
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, his expression gradually changed, and then he listened to Shen Jiasui continue to say:
"Besides, the most capable general in the Great Sheng Dynasty, the one who controls the military power, is still Uncle Lu."
"Don't you understand yet? Haven't you completely let go of that past life?"
As she spoke, Shen Jiasui took a light step forward, opened her red lips, and spoke in a voice so cold that it seemed to freeze into ice:
"This time, the charge of treason is shared by your Lu family and my Shen family."
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, he gradually realized the meaning of Shen Jiasui's words and froze in place in an instant.
He couldn't help but stagger back a small step, his face gradually turning pale.
When Shen Jiasui saw Lu Yunzheng's look, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but his laughter could not hide the sarcasm and sadness.
"Look, the needle is stuck in my body, and I finally feel the pain."
"I think that soon, the Imperial Guards will lead troops to besiege the Shen and Lu residences. Uncle Lu should be prepared, but your mother... probably still knows nothing, right?"
"Uncle Lu has been captured, and the whole house is under siege. I wonder how scared your mother will be. Why don't you go back and take a look?"
"Gu Xizhi, I'm here."
At the end, Shen Jiasui added another sentence.
Lu Yunzheng's pupils seemed to be trembling slightly, his chest heaving violently, and he could no longer hide the panic on his face.
As soon as Shen Jiasui finished speaking, Lu Yunzheng turned around and left quickly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shen Jiasui suddenly called him again.
Lu Yunzheng turned around impatiently, with beads of sweat visible on his forehead, but he saw Shen Jiasui standing in the backlit corner, smiling at him.
But there was no trace of brightness in that smile.
"Lu Yunzheng."
Shen Jiasui's tone was as calm as a deep pond, but every word pierced Lu Yunzheng like a needle:
"You have to think hard and go all out."
"Otherwise, in this life, you will also have to taste the pain of having your entire family executed."
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, the expression on his face instantly became very ugly, and the panic that had not yet dissipated was added with a bit of anger.
However, under Shen Jiasui's extremely calm gaze, Lu Yunzheng didn't know how to respond for a moment. He stood there in a daze for a while, then walked away quickly, his skirt fluttering.
......
He hurried all the way, but when the Lu Mansion came into view, it was already surrounded by the Imperial Guards.
Lu Yunzheng's heart suddenly tightened, and he heard footsteps coming from the door.
He looked out and saw his father being surrounded by six or seven imperial guards and being taken out of the mansion.
The atmosphere around was too cold and solemn. Seeing his father being escorted to the carriage by Wen Chengye with a sword, Lu Yunzheng felt a sense of terror.
If Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun's plan fails this time, then this will most likely be... the last time I see my father.
When this thought came to his mind, Lu Yunzheng's lips trembled.
Just then——
"Master! Master!"
There were cries of weeping coming from the door.
Mrs. Lu was seen running towards the door like crazy, her hair was already messy as she was running. Her eyes were red and tears were pouring out like a flood.
"Master! Master!"
She ran and screamed, her voice full of despair and fear.
However, the Royal Guards would never let her get close.
The two imperial guards at the gate of the mansion stepped forward, suddenly stretched out their spears and blocked Madam Lu's way.
Mrs. Lu couldn't stop her steps and bumped into the cold gun barrel. Her body tilted and she almost fell.
The one who supported Mrs. Lu in time was Aunt Zhou, who also looked pale.
But Mrs. Lu had no time to care about herself. She immediately grabbed the gun barrel with both hands and shook it desperately, trying to break through the obstruction, still crying and shouting:
"Please, let me go, let me go!"
"What should I do? Where are you taking the master?"
"Oh my God! My master was loyal to his country and fought bravely on the battlefield. This shouldn't happen!"
Seeing that she could not make a breakthrough, Mrs. Lu was at a loss and immediately fell to her knees on the ground.
She was seen repeatedly kowtowed heavily towards the direction of the imperial palace, crying, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
After a while, blood appeared on his forehead.
At this time, all the servants in the mansion heard the noise and gathered at the door.
The maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hugged each other and sobbed quietly. The servants had lost their former cleverness. They all looked panic-stricken and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Mother Zhao stood trembling by the side, her eyes full of horror, and kept muttering: "What should I do, what should I do..."
For a moment, the entire entrance of the general's mansion was filled with cries, shouts, and begging.
Such a heavy atmosphere of sorrow seemed to foreshadow an impending calamity, revealing endless fear and misery.
Lu Yunzheng saw this scene from afar, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead and slid down his cheeks. He had no time to wipe them off.
At this moment, his face was pale and his head was buzzing.
