Chapter 114: Roadblocks (3)

Baimafang, the yamen guarded by the palace guard, and the front yard lobby.

Officials sent by the Baimafang Yamen were working on-site in the lobby, helping Lu Yu deliver the land deeds and house deeds.

In the lobby, there was a pile of wooden boxes filled with gray copper coins.

The storage environment of these copper coins was obviously not very good, and some of them have turned green.

Before, when the representatives of the major merchants in Baimafang handed over the land deeds and house deeds and left the garrison office with their sons and daughters, the servants around them all looked disgusted as they carried the copper coins.

When Lu Yi and He Taiping rushed to the lobby, the delivery work in the lobby had already stopped.

A middle-aged man with a round face, small eyes and a shrewd look was sitting on a big chair. When he saw He Taiping, he stood up quickly and bowed to He Taiping: "General He."

He Taiping stared at the man deeply, then smiled at Lu Yi and said, "Lord Tianyang, let me introduce you. This is Ma Qianli, the head of the Ma family. He is the alternate pacification envoy of Mio Prefecture in the Far North, and he holds the title of the second rank."

Lu Yi's face twitched.

Yinyuan is so shameless.

Selling official positions and titles, he even sold the officials of Dazhou in the far north, which had lost control eight hundred years ago and had long been an independent kingdom?

Tsk, this Ma Qianli, does he have the courage to go to Miozhou to take up the post?

Lu Yi bowed to Ma Qianli and said coldly, "Master Ma, you said that you won't sell your other property?"

Ma Qianli blinked his eyes and looked back at a burly young man standing behind him. He was wearing a battle robe, a cloak, a sword at his waist, and thick-soled steel-plated combat boots.

Judging from his appearance, the young man is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with undisguised arrogance and pride on his face.

With a dry laugh, Ma Qianli narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Hey, this matter, after all, is the foundation of our ancestors. No matter how unworthy the descendants are, they can't sell the things left by their ancestors, right?"

Lu Yi turned around and looked at the feng shui map hanging in the lobby, which he had seen when he met Lu Yu a few days ago.

On the feng shui map, Lu Yi found the Ma family's villa.

Lu Yi's face suddenly turned gloomy. The Ma family's villa was 20 acres in size and included more than 3,000 acres of nearby forests. It was located right in the core position of the row of green peaks south of King Kong Creek.

Shi E showed Lu Yi another blueprint. The location of the Ma family's villa was exactly the location of the ancestral hall of the outer courtyard of the Great Vajra Temple in Haojing. It was the core place in the outer courtyard where the ancestors of the Great Vajra Temple were worshipped.

If other peripheral properties cannot be taken over, it will not have much impact on the reconstruction of the outer courtyard.

But if we can't take over the villa in this core area, there's no way we can rebuild the outer courtyard - the top leaders of the Vajra Temple have issued a clear order that the reconstruction of the outer courtyard must be done in full accordance with the original drawings from 30,000 years ago!

Lu Yi looked at Ma Qianli with deep eyes: "Master Ma, would you please reconsider? If you think the price is not enough, we can talk about it again."

Ma Qianli waved his hands hastily: "It's not about money. What are our identities? Talking about money is too vulgar!"

Ma Qianli looked at Lu Yi with a smile: "This is really a matter of filial piety. The inheritance of our ancestors cannot be sold."

Lu Yi nodded: "Then, the matter of your Excellency beating up the Prince of Chiyang cannot be cleared up."

Ma Qianli smiled and took a few steps back.

The young man in tight clothes behind him took two steps forward and stood in front of Lu Yi. He grinned at Lu Yi and said, "Lord Lu, I want to take Lord Ma's son away. Please, make it convenient for me."

Lu Yi looked at the young man curiously.

The young man had a strong military aura, and Lu Yi could sense a faint bloody murderous aura from him, and it was obvious that he had more than one life on his hands. In such a situation, he was able to jump out and help Ma Qianli, which showed that he had a strong backing.

"Are you sure about this?" Lu Yi asked with a smile, putting his hands in his sleeves.

"Do I need to tell you the truth about this?" The young man laughed strangely, "Mr. Lu clearly wanted to seize the forest on the south bank of King Kong Creek to do private work and deliberately framed Mr. Ma. But the Ma family is not easy to bully."

Lu Yu frowned and said, "Excuse me, who are you going to serve?"

The young man straightened his chest and said, "I am Le Qin, the captain of the Longxiang Army under the command of the Left General Le Shan of the Fengtiaofang Imperial Army."

With a slight smile, Le Qin raised his head, with a hint of provocation, and squinted at Lu Yi, who was half a head taller than him: "By the way, the general of the dynasty is my cousin."

He Taiping tightened his face, took two steps back and said nothing.

Although he wanted to make friends with Lu Yi, he would never dare to provoke General Le Wu's clansmen.

Although Lu Yi was a favorite of the emperor, Le Wu was the empress dowager's younger brother, the emperor's uncle, and the powerful figure who controlled the military power of Dayin.

If Lu Fu had a conflict with the Le clan, He Taiping would definitely not look favorably upon Lu Fu.

Lu Yi looked at Le Qin, then at Ma Qianli who was standing behind Le Qin, blinking and looking at him with a smile.

"This is very difficult for me to handle." Lu Yi scratched his head and said to Ma Qianli with a wry smile, "Master Ma, I am planning to build a temple in that forest. Your land is right in the core of that forest."

Ma Qianli smiled and said nothing.
Le Qin took a step closer to Lu Yi and grinned, "How about Lord Lu, why don't you try another market? For example, those ninth-grade markets are vast, with mostly barren mountains and wilderness, where can't there be room for a temple?"

Lu Yi shook his head and sighed: "But this piece of land in Baimafang is a Feng Shui treasure land. Someone told me that this temple must be built here and it cannot be changed at all."

Le Qin shook his head: "You can't repair this temple."

Lu Yi was silent for a while, then turned around and asked the Lu clan member who had just sent him the message: "Uncle Ping, how much has been paid for the land and house deeds?"

Lupin bowed to Lu Yi with some concern and said, "Sir, we are only missing the portion from Lord Ma's family."

Lu Yi pursed his lips and waved his hand: "Then, send Mr. Ma's son to the Yushunfang Investigation Office for detention. I suspect that he has an affair with the Nine Yin Sect demon."

Ma Qianli's face turned horrible, and he hissed, "Mr. Tianyang, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."

Le Qin got even more angry and slapped Lu Yu on the cheek: "Lu Yu, you are shameless, right?"

Le Qin is about eighteen or nineteen years old.

This year is the nineteenth year of Jiayou, and Le Wu has been the general for nineteen years.

The period when Le Qin was growing up was the period when the Le family's power and status soared, and they were rising to the point of being able to call the shots in the court of Dayin.

Le Qin had been living a life of luxury since childhood, and ordinary princes and princesses of the royal family did not necessarily enjoy the same level of luxury as him.

Therefore, Le Qin got used to being spoiled.

Without caring about Lu Yi's identity and background, Le Qin slapped him in public.

But he moved quickly, and Lu Yi's move was more than ten times faster. As soon as Le Qin raised his hand, Lu Yi's right hand had already slapped Le Qin's cheek with a gust of evil wind.

With a crisp sound, half of Le Qin's skin was almost ripped off his face.

Before Le Qin felt the pain on his face, Lu Yi had already kicked him in the lower abdomen. With a dull thud, Le Qin flew backwards and bumped into Ma Qianli, who had no time to react at all, causing him to spit blood and fly out.

'Gurgle.'

Le Qin and Ma Qianli rolled around on the smooth floor of the lobby. They were kicked out of the lobby by Lu Yi, rolled down the stairs, and rolled several feet away in the courtyard in front of the lobby.

There was an uproar all around, and He Taiping shouted hysterically: "Sir, that's the general's nephew!"

He Taiping wanted to commit suicide with a knife.

May I ask, the emperor’s most popular confidant had a conflict with the emperor’s uncle’s nephew, who is also the emperor’s cousin... As an eyewitness, which side should He Taiping stand on?

Lu Yi turned around and grinned at He Taiping, whose hands and feet were shaking: "General He, you must remember that we are all guards of the palace!"

A team of soldiers wearing half-body soft armor and with tough faces rushed into the lobby.

A young man who looked somewhat similar to Le Qin, especially with almost identical ears, drew his sword and slashed wildly: "Who dares to hit my brother?"

This young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as Lu Yi.

But he was even more arrogant and spoiled than Le Qin.

After slashing a few times with the knife, the young man stared at Lu Yu fiercely: "Hey, you are Lu Yu, I have seen you... You are a lowly bastard like a servant, how dare you hurt someone from our family?"

The young man suddenly jumped forward, holding the knife in both hands, and chopped down at Lu Yi's head.

Lu Yi made two "tsk tsk" sounds. After all, he was the Duke of Tianyang who had been appointed by the emperor just a few days ago. He was a duke who was officially recognized by the court officials and had a formal fiefdom!

This young man actually drew his sword and started slashing without saying a word. He is either stupid or he has been fooled!

The knife flashed down, and was still two feet away from Lu Yi's head. Lu Yi kicked the young man who jumped up and swung the knife and kicked him away.

Le Qin still rolled out on the floor of the lobby and suffered much less damage.

Lu Yi was angry at the young man's ruthlessness, so he simply kicked him and sent him flying out of the hall. The huge force caused the young man to spit out large mouthfuls of blood as he flew backwards.

A group of soldiers rushed out of the hall in a panic, shouting "young general" repeatedly.

Outside the gate of the garrison, in a roadside teahouse, Leshan sat at a tea table by the window, drinking tea leisurely.

Hearing the noise coming from the garrison, Le Shan grinned and said, "Come on, a fight has started. Fine, I'll go meet our Lord Tian Yang."

"He made great contributions in catching ghosts in the imperial city before."

"I don't know. His Buddhist magical power is only useful against ghosts. What effect can it have on humans?"

Shaking his head, Le Shan whispered, "But I've wanted to meet you for a long time, I just didn't have an excuse."

"Then let's complete the commission from Xiong Taidou as soon as possible. It's better not to owe a favor for too long."
