Chapter 141: Three years of bloody profit, the death penalty is worth it!
The Lu family is one of the most prominent families in Shanfu County.
Lu Wen was a wealthy man and a businessman.
Most people who do business are good at dealing with people. Lu Wen has many friends and also has a good relationship with the magistrate of Shanfu County.
However, Lu Wen, who had such a high status, could not compare with his distant relative Lu Xu, who served as a doctor in the Qin court.
Officials in Xianyang were naturally higher than those in other parts of the country, not to mention that Lu Xu was a doctor and had the right to attend court to discuss state affairs.
In Xianyang, a doctor with an annual salary of 600 dan was nothing, but in the local area, he was definitely a high-ranking official.
Therefore, even though he knew that Lu Shu was not a good person, Lu Wen did not criticize Lu Shu harshly, but instead blamed the three women.
"How can a girl be so shameless? Why don't you go back to your room?"
"My little sister is so heroic, why would you blame her, uncle?"
The sinister young man Lu Shu stopped Lu Wen and reached out to touch Lu Zhi's face. Lu Zhi turned her head away, with an even more murderous look in her eyes.
The woman calmly pulled the three women back a step, naturally making way for them to enter the room.
"Master, please let the distinguished guest rest first."
"That's what Xijun said."
Lu Wen asked the housekeeper to arrange a room for Lu Shu, and then he went into the main house to sleep with his wife.
Exhausted from the long journey, Lu Wen lay on the bed feeling very sleepy, but the uneasiness in his heart prevented him from falling asleep.
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
This time, Lu Wen brought Lu Xu's son Lu Shu and rushed back to Shanfu County day and night in order to seek refuge from Ying Chengjiao.
As one of the only two culprits who almost forced the manager of the building to death, the younger brother of the Left Supervisor of the Court of Justice was killed on the spot.
Doctor Lu Xu saw this and was afraid that his only son would also be harmed, so he entrusted Lu Shu to his distant relative Lu Wen.
He asked Lu Wen to take Lu Shu back to Shanfu County, which was 1,500 miles away from Xianyang, to avoid the limelight.
Lu Wen witnessed Ying Chengjiao's arrogant and domineering side up close. If he had known that the son of Lu Xu, a distant relative he was going to visit, was one of the culprits who had offended Ying Chengjiao, this trip to Xianyang specifically to visit Lu Xu would have definitely been terminated.
But he didn't know.
After coming out of the tower, the frightened Lu Wen found Lu Xu's home, where he was treated to delicious food and drinks, which comforted him.
Being treated like this by a doctor, Lu Wen drank some wine and felt a little dizzy.
He easily agreed to Lu Xu's request to take Lu Shu out to see the world.
It was not until they left Xianyang City and traveled together that Lu Wen realized that Lu Shu was frivolous and lewd.
With a little flattery and a few indirect remarks from Lu Wen, the well-traveled man, people knew that Lu Shu was the protagonist of the incident on the tower that day.
"no."
Lu Wen stood up in shock, and the quilt fell on his chest.
"My dear, that Lu Shu looked at my second daughter with an obscene look. I have a close personal relationship with the chief clerk of Pei County, the county magistrate. Tomorrow you take your eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the third daughter to Pei County to hide."
The woman climbed up from behind Lu Wen, and leaned on his shoulder, saying in dissatisfaction, "My family is here, and if anyone wants to hide, it should be that bastard. How come I came to Xianyang to look for my relatives and ended up finding a disaster?"
"Don't say any more. His father is a doctor. Go to sleep. At five o'clock in the morning, go and call the eldest, second, and third daughters to set off for Pei County."
The couple slept together.
Lu's guest room.
Lu Shu was lying on the guest bed, humming a little tune, feeling very relaxed.
Since leaving Hangu Pass, Lu Shu has seen many people, things and objects he has never seen before, which are very new to him.
The Qin law was implemented in the Guanzhong area, and was not implemented in the six states - because it could not be implemented.
Apart from its strong control over its base, Qin's control over the six conquered states was not only weak but extremely weak.
Shanfu County originally belonged to the State of Lu. After Lu was destroyed, it was ceded to Song. After Song was destroyed, it was ceded to Qi. After Qi was destroyed, it was ceded to Qin.
Although this is Qin territory, the customs and habits are completely different from those of Qin. Qin laws do not apply here, but the laws of Qi.
There are wine shops, guesthouses, and places for gambling and entertainment here, all of which Lu Shu could not see in Xianyang.
So at this moment, Lu Shu was not sad about leaving the capital, but was very happy.
"If it weren't for the incident at the tower, I, Lu Shu, would never have been able to leave Xianyang. Compared to Xianyang, this is the real world. It's a pity that I didn't get to have sex with the manager of the tower."
Lu Shu muttered to himself, thinking about the female manager of the tower. Naturally, he followed the line of women and thought of the childish Lu Zhi. At that moment, a wicked smile appeared in his eyes.
"I never thought that although Lu Wen is not very good-looking, his daughter is so tender and beautiful. In Xianyang, she is governed by Qin Law, but here she is free. I will find a chance to tie up the little girl in a few days and see if there is still evil in her eyes when she screams on the bed."
Squeak
The wooden door rang softly.
Lu Shu thought it was Lu Wen who sent someone over, so he turned his head casually to take a look.
The night is hazy and pitch black.
There were no candles lit in the room, and the visitor did not light a lamp.
But with the moonlight coming through the window.
You can also tell that she has a slim figure, long hair, and a plump chest. She must be a woman.
This Lu Wen is a good person. He knows that it is hard to sleep alone, so he found a maid to keep me warm.
Lu Shu put his hands behind his head and said, "Take off the clothes."
"Lv Lang is still so impatient."
The person approached with a chuckle, his voice gentle and pleasant.
When Lu Shu heard this beautiful sound, it was as if he heard the words of a devil.
His body shuddered, and he turned over with his arms swung forward, his face filled with fear.
"Manage, manage things? Are you a human or a ghost?"
"If Lu Lang doesn't want to spend a night with me, then I am naturally a human being."
The footsteps became heavier and the figure approached.
As the distance between the two people got closer, Lu Shu finally saw the face of the person in the moonlight.
She has a sweet smile and a pretty face, and she is the female manager of the building.
"Don't come near, don't come near, you!"
Lu Shu kept backing away on the bed, his back pressed against the wall like a gecko, screaming in fear, looking as if he was terrified beyond control.
It was not until he saw the tower manager was less than a meter away from him that a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Boom~
His back hit the wall suddenly, and he used the momentum to pounce towards the building manager.
It turned out that his previous
The Qin Dynasty was a martial nation.
The Qin people were not afraid.
But in the face of the gap in strength, it doesn’t matter .
The person who came here today was not the manager of the building, but Qingmei.
"Lv Lang is so anxious."
Qingmei chuckled .
The laughter is charming and attractive.
The delicate body tilted slightly, and the beautiful legs split vertically like a knife.
After a muffled sound, Lu Shu, who was flying in the air, fell on his face and was beaten to the ground by Qingmei's whip-kick, with blood gushing from his nose.
Qingmei was dressed in green and she stepped on Lu Shu's back lightly with a smile.
Lu Shu, who was knocked unconscious, felt as if his back was hit by a heavy hammer.
A fishy and sweet smell rose up in his throat and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
Before the blood spurted out, I felt a heavy blow on the back of my head.
Lu Shu kissed the ground and his lips were rubbed.
The blood choked in the middle of his throat, blocking his air holes. He almost choked to death and kept coughing.
Qingmei stepped on Lu Shu's head twice, and only let go when she saw that the handsome face was distorted and deformed under her feet, leaving bloody marks.
They took out a hemp rope and tied Lu Shu's hands and feet together, and Qingmei pulled Lu Shu's hair.
While Lu Shu was screaming all the way, he was dragged to the center of the Lu family's yard.
"Lu Lang might as well shout louder."
Qingmei gave advice in a gentle voice.
"Uncle, save me! There's an assassin! Uncle, save me! There's a thief!"
As expected, Lu Shu shouted as he was told, hoping that Lu Wen would come to him.
Although he didn't know why the manager of Loutai had such high martial arts skills, the facts were before him and there was no point in worrying about these things at this time.
But as soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Lu Shu's heart sank completely.
Lu Wen, Lu Wen's wife, Lu Wen's two sons, and Lu Wen's three daughters were all in the courtyard.
There were also people like the Lu family's steward and servants, not a single one was left out.
The situation in the courtyard was controlled by a group of masked men in black, each with a dagger on his waist.
"Lv Lang, who are you looking for to save your life?"
Lu Shu's face was filled with fear, and this time he wasn't pretending, it was real.
"According to Qin law, whoever kills someone must pay with his life. You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"
Qingmei leaned over and spoke softly, making Lu Shu feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
"This is Shanfu County, not Guanzhong. Qin law does not apply here."
"This is the world of the Qin Dynasty, woo woo woo."
Qingmei blocked Lu Shu's mouth, turned around and looked at Lu Wen with a smile, "Is it worth it to sacrifice the lives of your whole family just to please a doctor?"
Lu Wen's forehead was covered with sweat, and he kept apologizing with his hands clasped together.
He had traveled all over the world for so many years, and he could tell that the beautiful woman in front of him was not trying to scare him.
So many men in black came to his house, and the leader even revealed his true identity in front of them.
What else could this be but murder?
"This is my fault alone. I hope you won't bring trouble to my family."
"Da Qin has always been a party to the crime of punishing the whole family. Since your family has enjoyed the wealth and glory you have provided them, they should also be punished."
Qingmei rejected Lu Wen's proposal.
Lu Wen knew very well that Lu Shu was the culprit of the trouble in Loutai, but he still brought Lu Shu to Shanfu County, 1,500 miles away from Xianyang. This was sheltering Lu Shu.
Such a suspicious person entered the Lu family, but no one in the Lu family went to report to the authorities. This is also a cover-up.
Qin law includes crimes such as harboring someone.
"My sister wants to kill my whole family. Is there a reason?"
The twelve-year-old Lu Zhi broke free from her mother's hand and walked straight to Qingmei.
Although there was obvious fear on his face, he still forced himself to say this.
Lu Wen, the woman, Lu Zhi's two older brothers, one older sister, and one younger sister were all horrified.
"Second sister is back!"
"Pheasant!"
"The second daughter is talking nonsense."
Qingmei looked at Lu Zhi who walked up to her with great interest, and told her the whole cause and effect of the matter.
Ying Chengjiao taught her to be reasonable.
She is a reasonable person.
As Qingmei told the story, Lu Zhi's father Lu Wen looked more and more desperate.
The more they talked, the less hope their family had of survival.
Lu Zhi's heart was pounding. After listening to Qingmei's story, she felt that her father was wrong.
She couldn't find any reason to ask Qingmei to let their family go, and she was so anxious that a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.
She is only twelve years old this year. It is an amazing courage for her to stand up. It would be difficult for her to do anything more amazing.
No one doubted Qingmei's words, not even Lu Shi, the youngest girl in the Lu family who was only ten years old.
In this era, human life is cheaper than grass.
Inside Hangu Pass, robbery and murder were almost extinct due to the strict Qin laws.
But outside Hangu Pass, in these small towns, it was very common for people to have their belongings stolen, their flowers raped by thieves, and be killed by bandits.
Qingmei looked at the little girl in front of her. Even though she was scared to death, she still had a look of unwillingness to admit defeat and not a single tear in her eyes. She secretly admired Lu Zhi's courage.
"Little sister, what's your name?"
"Lü Zhi."
Lu Zhi spoke clearly.
Lu Zhi.
Qingmei narrowed her eyes.
This name was mentioned in Gongzi's novel. Is it a coincidence?
Qingmei asked, "Have you ever been to Pei County?"
Lü Zhi replied: "No."
It seems to be a coincidence indeed.
Qingmei thought to herself, and suddenly she noticed that both Lu Wen and his wife trembled slightly. She turned around and asked with a smile: "Have you two been to Pei County?"
No matter how bad the current situation is, it is just a matter of death. Lu Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Wen has been there more than once. He has a close personal relationship with the magistrate of Pei County and the chief clerk. He just asked Xijun to get up early and take the three daughters to Pei County."
Qingmei's heart moved, and she continued to smile:
"You have three daughters. What are their names?"
"The eldest daughter is Lü Changju, the second daughter is Lü Zhi, and the third daughter is Lü Shi."
They actually match up. Shouldn't these be characters in the novel made up by the young master?
Qingmei looked at Lu Wen's two sons and pointed, "Are their names Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi?"
Lu Wen was so surprised that he forgot to answer.
When Qingmei saw the expression on Lu Wen's face, she knew that she had guessed correctly.
Looking at Lü Zhi standing in front of her, Qingmei scratched her head and pointed at Lü Shu on the ground and said, "Can we turn him into a human pig ?"
彘 means pig.
Renzhu Renzhu, as the name suggests, means turning people into pigs.
They chopped off people's limbs, dug out their eyes, and poured copper into their ears to make them deaf.
They poured mute drugs down their throats, cut off their tongues, and destroyed their vocal cords, rendering them unable to speak.
The nose is also cut off, leaving two holes like a pig's nose. The eyelashes, hair, and eyebrows are shaved off, and then a medicine is applied to destroy the hair follicles, so that hair will never grow again after the follicles fall off, leaving the person bald like a pig. Then he is thrown into the toilet and drowned in feces and urine.
In the original history, the human pig was a punishment invented by Empress Lü of the Han Dynasty.
"Records of the Grand Historian" states: Empress Lü cut off Concubine Qi's hands and feet, removed her eyes and burned her ears, made her drink mute medicine, and made her live in the toilet, naming her "human pig."
But now, Lu Zhi was not yet Empress Lu, she was just a twelve-year-old girl, and she didn’t know what a human pig was.
"What, what is a human pig?"
Qingmei explained it carefully to Lu Zhi.
The more she listened, the paler Lu Zhi's face became. The natural murderous look in her eyes turned into fear. She looked at Qingmei as if she was looking at a devil.
After Qingmei finished her story, Lu Zhi's legs went weak and she could not stand.
If Qingmei hadn't held him half in her arms in time, he would have fallen down.
But the twelve-year-old girl would rather fall down than be hugged by Qingmei.
She pouted and cried, "Sister, please kill me!"
Lu Zhi was terrified; she didn't want to be turned into a human pig.
All the secret guards present looked at Qingmei in speechless eyes.
Kill someone if you want, why scare a little girl? Young masters don't scare children.
Qingmei touched Lu Zhi's smooth little face.
Lu Zhi wanted to hide but didn't dare to, and her body was shaking all the time.
The twelve-year-old girl only felt that Qingmei's jade hands were icy cold, just like the poisonous snake she feared the most crawling on her face.
Qingmei half hugged Lu Zhi, and at this moment even the thought of seeking revenge on Lu Shu faded.
There is no such coincidence in the world. There must be something wrong with the Lu family.
Could it be that someone saw the young master's novel and secretly established the Lu family?
But Lu Wen is older than the young master, which doesn’t make sense.
Or can you predict the future?
But as long as you are here, how can the Qin Dynasty perish?
Never mind, take him back to Xianyang and let the prince decide his fate.
These three sisters are all perfect choices in appearance, even if they have nothing to do with the young master's novel.
Let the three of them serve the young master. The sisters are connected in heart and can shout and act in unison. I'm sure the young master will be very happy.
Ying Chengjiao, who was far away in Xianyang, had no idea that his childhood sweetheart had found three sisters to warm his bed.
It's a huge profit in three years, and the death penalty is not a loss.
…
Chang'an Jun Mansion.
"Zifang, long time no see."
Zhang Liang was a little dazed when he saw Ying Chengjiao, who was approaching him with open arms and looked like a familiar face.
Are you familiar with me?
