1018 Warning, let the killer into the city

After the Governor of Shandong left the study room angrily, Feng Qingchen walked out from behind the bookshelf. Thinking of everything he had seen in the past half an hour, Feng Qingchen sighed. |

Not long after, the door of the study opened again, and the Ninth Prince walked in: "What did you just see? Why do you have such an expression?"

"I saw that he wanted to kill you." Feng Qingchen looked worried and asked, "Has the officialdom in Shandong become so rotten?"

It's just a local family, but it can not only make the governor speak up for him, but also make the governor want to kill the prince. It's really... ridiculous! Pathetic!

"There is a saying in Shandong, 'The Lu family is permanent, but the governors are transient.' The Lu family has been a large family in Shandong since the previous dynasty. The governors have always changed, but the Lu family has never fallen. If you want to secure the position of governor in Shandong, you must get the support of the Lu family. Any official who does not get along with the Lu family will have only one end." That is death.

"Is the Lu family really just an ordinary family?" Feng Qingchen was very skeptical. Families like the Xie and Wang families did not have such great capabilities or such great ambitions.

"This is not important. What is important is that we know that the Lu family is the local tyrant in Shandong. Facing our difficulties, the Lu family not only did not back down, but also strongly warned us that to deal with the Lu family, we would have to make enemies with the entire Shandong officialdom!" At the end, the Ninth Prince laughed at himself.

I hadn't originally intended to wipe out the Lu family, but now...

The small Lu family dares to ignore him. They really don't know their place. No matter who is standing behind the Lu family, since they have offended him, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

The Lu family is indeed bold and arrogant enough. If it were anyone else, they would never dare to let the governor come to their house. Feng Qingchen thought about it and asked, "Will the Lu family ruin my birthday party?"

"No, the Lu family has made it clear that they are not afraid to be our enemy."

The Ninth Prince was right. The Lu family was not afraid of becoming an enemy of the Ninth Prince. Their previous efforts to please the Ninth Prince were just a gesture. It was just a matter of sending a servant to the door and spending some money.

If the Ninth Prince accepts it, then it will be good for everyone. Whatever the Ninth Prince wants to do in Shandong, the Lu family will assist them to the best of their ability. Anyway, the Ninth Prince will not wait in Shandong for long, and there is no need for the Lu family to make enemies with the Ninth Prince.

But if the Ninth Prince is unwilling to accept it, then I'm sorry, but their Lu family is not a soft persimmon. If the Ninth Prince wants to control their Lu family, it depends on whether his hand is strong enough.

After the Governor of Shandong came out of Huayuan, he went directly to the old house of the Lu family, where the third young master of the Lu family received the Governor.

The third young master of the Lu family was the designated successor of the Lu family. He had the bearing of a gentleman. When he came in, he simply bowed to the governor as a greeting. The governor quickly signaled that there was no need to be polite.

"Sir, how is the situation?" The third young master of the Lu family did not bother to be polite with the governor and went straight to the point.

"I am truly ashamed for failing to live up to the Third Young Master's trust." The Governor's face turned red, and he was obviously very depressed that the Ninth Prince did not give him face.

Young Master Lu was quite calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He smiled and said, "It's okay, Your Excellency just do your best." If the Ninth Prince gave in as soon as the Governor came forward, then the Lu family would have to carefully consider the Ninth Prince's intentions.

It’s a birthday party, it doesn’t matter whether the Lu family attends it or not. What the Lu family cares about is the attitude of the Ninth Prince. Since the Ninth Prince does not accept the Lu family’s kindness, there is no need for the Lu family to compromise.

The governor was relieved to see that Young Master Lu really didn't care, but Young Master Lu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Sir, I heard that the woman who is going to host the birthday party is named Feng Qingchen?"

"The Third Young Master just came back and doesn't know yet. Yes, the woman's name is indeed Feng Qingchen, and the Ninth Prince thinks highly of her." There was an ambiguous meaning in the Governor's words, making it impossible not to think in a wrong way.

Young Master Lu nodded with a smile, pointed in the direction of the city gate, and said mysteriously: "Sir, I heard that there are many unknown people gathering there recently, is it true?"

"To be honest, the situation outside the city is indeed not peaceful. I have been troubled by this matter for a while. Now that the Ninth Prince has come to Shandong, his safety falls on my shoulders. If anything happens to the Ninth Prince in Shandong, I will not be able to explain to the people in Beijing." The Governor of Shandong had a bitter face and became more and more angry.

He worked so hard to add more soldiers and people to protect the Ninth Uncle, but the Ninth Uncle didn't take him seriously, which was really infuriating.

"Sir, you are too dedicated. As the Governor of Shandong, you are right to ensure the safety of the Ninth Uncle, but..." Third Young Master Lu paused deliberately. The Governor knew that the Lu family was well-informed, so he quickly asked, "But what?"

Young Master Lu smiled slightly and did not answer the Governor's words. Instead, he asked in a profound tone: "Sir, do you know who those people outside are?"

"Who?" The Governor of Shandong vaguely knew what Young Master Lu was planning. Although he wanted to back out, he knew that since the Lu family had spoken, he would not be allowed to back out.

Young Master Lu did not keep the secret and said bluntly: "Those people are killers."

"Killers? How could that be?" Killers generally would not accept missions to assassinate officials, princes, or princes. Even if they did, they would do it secretly and alone. There would never be more than a dozen killers appearing at the same time like now.

"I know what you are thinking, sir. Please calm down. Those people are not here to kill the Ninth Prince. They want to kill a woman named Feng Qingchen." Young Master Lu said slowly, with an attitude of confidence that he had everything under control.

"Feng Qingchen, isn't she the woman who is going to hold a birthday party for the Ninth Prince?" The Governor of Shandong exclaimed, his eyes suddenly widened, just in time to meet the gaze of Young Master Lu. Seeing the murderous intent in Young Master Lu's eyes, the Governor quickly avoided him, not daring to confront him.

Young Master Lu smiled contemptuously and said calmly: "That's right, those assassins came to kill Feng Qingchen."

"How is it possible? How could a weak woman attract so many killers?" Being able to hold the position of governor, the Governor of Shandong was no fool. After being surprised, he began to think about the rationality of this matter.

"What's impossible? Feng Qingchen is the most valuable person on the assassin alliance list. Her head is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. There are countless assassins who want to kill her. If it weren't for the Ninth Prince protecting her so obviously. And if it weren't for the assassin Zuo An protecting her by her side, Feng Qingchen would have been dead long ago." Young Master Lu did not hide anything and told him everything he knew. After all, he needed the help of the Governor of Shandong for what was to come.

They had cooperated so many times, and the Governor of Shandong understood what Sanshao Lu was planning without Sanshao Lu saying anything. He immediately asked, "Sanshao, what do you want to do?" Kill someone with a borrowed knife?

"That's right." Third Master Lu nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. My Lu family doesn't want you to do anything. You just need to get those people in without leaving any trace. No matter whether the task is completed or not, my Lu family will give you ten thousand taels of gold."

By killing Feng Qingchen, he could get more than 100,000 taels, and give 10,000 taels to Governor Shanjiang. Young Master Lu didn't think this deal was a loss.

Yes... the killers outside the city were just a cover. The ones who really wanted Feng Qingchen's head were the Lu family, for the money and to intimidate the Ninth Prince.

Since the Governor of Shandong couldn't make the Ninth Prince compromise, then let the Ninth Prince see clearly who owns Shandong. In Shandong, as long as the Lu family wants, they can kill even the emperor...
