Chapter 71 Commander Lu
Wei Mingzhu was a little dazed.
She had only heard that Shen Yuheng was getting married, and she also knew that the girl he liked was Lu Qiaoxiao, the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis family.
But she only thought that her senior brother's feelings for Lu Qiaoxiao were the same as her feelings towards her male favorites, some pity, some liking, and nothing more.
She had never thought that Shen Yuheng's first questioning of her was because of a woman.
Is that woman really that important to him?
She felt unhappy and distressed, like a heavy rain, pouring densely into her chest.
Wei Mingzhu raised her hand and rubbed her brow, then called a servant over: "Go to the City Defense Department and keep an eye on the newly appointed Commander Lu. Report any developments to me immediately."
——
When Shen Yuheng returned home, he immediately searched the whole house, but he couldn't find the figure he had been thinking about.
Bai Zhi saw Shen Yuheng coming and going in a hurry, so she asked at the right moment, "Master, are you looking for your wife?"
"Madam is on duty today, and she hasn't come back yet?"
Shen Yuheng frowned. According to his shift schedule, he should be back by now.
It's only a quarter of an hour's ride from the patrol station to home.
"Go to the patrol department." Shen Yuheng immediately ordered A Yao, who immediately brought a horse over from the backyard, as if he had expected it.
Shen Yuheng sat in the carriage, some things from the past echoing in his mind.
When Concubine Xi died suddenly of an old illness, Wei Mingzhu insisted on going to the palace to force Wei Junming to investigate the Li family.
However, the Li family was at its peak at that time, and even the emperor could not take direct action, otherwise it would affect the foundation of the country.
Wei Mingzhu is deeply favored by the emperor. If she can understand the situation and understand the emperor's feelings at this time, she will be only one step away from the position of crown prince.
That was also the first time that Shen Yuheng had such a strong conflict with Wei Mingzhu.
He said, "Your Highness will be a future monarch. You should weigh the pros and cons. If you force His Majesty to deal with the Li family now, you may end up bringing disaster upon yourself."
Wei Mingzhu's face was covered with tears: "Brother, that's my biological mother. If I don't deal with these grandsons of the Li family, my mother won't rest in peace in heaven."
………
Shen Yuheng lowered his eyes, his thoughts in turmoil.
In the end, Wei Mingzhu insisted on doing what she did, and just as he expected, the emperor, under pressure from the aristocratic families, sent Wei Mingzhu to Mount Li.
Wei Mingzhu was angry with Wei Junming, so she left for many years.
Now that the boomerang has hit him, Shen Yuheng has begun to understand Wei Mingzhu back then.
——
Lu Qiaoxiao had just taken office, but she had not expected that someone would give her a cold shoulder when she reported for duty at the Patrol Office on her first day.
Logically, as she was the commander of the patrol department, she should have used the patrol department's badge and clothing.
The young man who is in charge of managing the new officers and logistics of the Patrol Department is called Mo Yu. He has only been in the Patrol Department for three months and is considered a newcomer.
As Lu Qiaoxiao took the tag and clothes, a burst of laughter came from behind him.
"Where did this little girl come from? Did she come to the wrong place? How did she get into my territory?"
"Master, this is the new Commander Lu." Mo Yu didn't realize the malice in the words, and responded seriously in a soft voice.
The men in the patrol department are all men who are used to seeing swords and spears, and they will not tolerate soft attacks.
Of course, this hardness needs to be harder than theirs.
"Commander Lu? Never heard of him." The one in the lead was Boss Gu, who once knocked down eight knife-wielding gangsters with his bare hands on the street. It was said that he tore off one of the gangsters' ears.
Only then did he get noticed by the governor's office and was selected to be a small leader.
"Boss Gu, I heard that Commander Lu just got married not long ago. He comes to take office now. Could it be..." The people around him were hesitant and reminded him kindly.
Boss Gu snorted disdainfully, "No matter if they are friends or relatives of the Prime Minister, once they enter the Patrol Department and encounter danger, they will have to fight for their lives."
"If Minister Chen truly loved Chong, why would he send his wife to a place like this where only rough men stay?"
"Besides, even if the Jade Emperor came and entered the Patrol Department, he would still have to fulfill his mission."
"How can a woman with that kind of body do what we do?"
Mo Yu was terrified when he heard this behind them. Did they mean to stop Commander Lu from taking up the post?
So, will he still do his job?
Lu Qiaoxiao looked at the big men in front of him with interest, and his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure huddled in the corner.
Lu Wenpei.
Her half-brother is always looking for trouble.
But, how could she be a vegetarian?
Thinking of her miserable ending in her previous life where she had her hands and feet broken and drowned in a pond, she knew that a woman's fate should not be to live in seclusion and self-pity.
Last time in the hunting ground, she rescued Prince Ding'an from the wolf's mouth, not only for Shen Yuheng but also for herself.
The more skills she showed, the more amulet she would have.
Lu Qiaoxiao walked forward slowly, blinked, and said in a soft voice, "Is this big brother Boss Gu? I've heard of your bravery for a long time, and seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed an extraordinary person."
Boss Gu didn't expect that Madam Shen would be so polite. Even after he said such sarcastic words, she could still sit still and come forward to greet him with a smile?
Lu Qiaoxiao walked forward calmly, pursing her lips and smiling: "I wonder how many people are currently working in the Governor's Office?"
Someone in the crowd responded automatically, "There are 328 people on duty, 290 out on field duty, and excluding those who are sick or on leave, there are 36 people on duty today."
Lu Qiaoxiao glanced at the people standing in the yard. According to her position, she was the commander and would be in charge of these people in the future, including the little leader in front of her, Boss Gu.
The competition between warriors is different from that between civil officials.
Fight if you don't accept it. It may sound barbaric, but it is the best way to suppress it and the most convincing proof of strength.
Lu Wenpei, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't understand what this crazy woman was up to.
He had learned a few days ago that a commander named Lu was going to parachute in, and this commander was none other than the crazy woman with misbehavior whom he had always looked down upon the most - his elder sister Lu Qiaoxiao, who had been holding back resentment in her heart for a long time.
The aunt said that Lu Qiaoxiao had caused her elder sister a lot of harm, both openly and secretly, since the incident of breaking off the engagement. However, Lu Wenpei just didn't believe it. What kind of trouble could a woman like her cause after entering a bandit's den like the Patrol Office?
In the end, won’t she have to go back home crying and beg for mercy from Prime Minister Shen?
Thinking of this, Lu Wenpei touched his empty wallet. These days, in order to bribe his brothers in the patrol department, he treated them to a lot of drinks and spent all the money given by his family.
I guess I'll have to ask my family for some more.
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes turned slightly, and suddenly became as sharp as a sword. They landed on the burly man in the lead and he spoke slowly, "Then please ask Boss Gu to call out all the brothers."
