Lu Quan rushed out with a group of Lu family members.
As soon as I arrived outside the mansion, I saw Qin Wenyuan and others who had just arrived.
When he was about to step forward to say hello, he saw Qin Wenyuan's cold eyes sweeping across everyone.
Then, he said, "General Cheng, you will lead 500 soldiers to surround the entire Lu Mansion and make sure the criminals don't escape."
"General Li, you will lead 500 soldiers to search the Lu Mansion and find any clues related to smallpox in Chang'an."
The words fell.
quiet!
Deathly silence!!
Cheng Chumo and Li Junxian were a little confused. They didn't expect that Qin Wenyuan could remain calm in the face of danger when he commanded the army for the first time.
The people in the Lu family couldn't believe that Qin Wenyuan actually dared to bring people to search their house!
Changle, on the other hand, had a slight smile on his face, as if his lips were filled with honey.
Seeing that the three armies did not move, Qin Wenyuan turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Generals, are you planning to disobey the order? Do you want His Majesty to give me temporary power?"
"No, no, no!" The two of them hurriedly shook their heads and led their troops to take action.
Cheng Chumo's action to surround Lu's mansion did not encounter much hindrance.
However, Li Junxian led his troops to search, but was stopped by Lu Quan and the direct descendants of the Lu family.
Are you kidding? If they were really searched, would the Five Surnames and Seven Families still maintain their dignity?
Lu Quan won't let them pass.
He stopped Li Junxian, and after making sure that these people did not dare to cross the line, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Dr. Qin, I have long heard of your great name."
"After meeting him today, I can see that Divine Doctor Qin is indeed a man of great talent and bearing. No wonder he can cure smallpox, an incurable disease that has lasted for thousands of years."
"I never thought that my first meeting with Divine Doctor Qin would be so unpleasant."
"If your son Lu Dinghai has done anything wrong, I, an old man, will be here to apologise for you."
"After all, he is still a child. Maybe he overstepped his bounds towards you, Doctor Qin, in the past. But it is a good thing to admit one's mistakes and correct them. I hope Doctor Qin will forgive him."
"Haihan?"
Qin Wenyuan sneered, he dismounted with his wife, came in front of Lu Quan, and began to confront the other party with his eyes.
The two looked at each other, and Qin Wenyuan was not afraid of the old fox in front of him just because he was a junior.
"Master Lu, are you sure you want to guarantee your rebellious son Lu Dinghai?"
Rebellious...
Lu Quan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't know the seriousness of the problem, and didn't know about smallpox.
Lu Dinghai, who was standing behind him, was shaking with fear when he saw Qin Wenyuan's determined look.
"Yes, my son, as his father, I can naturally vouch for his character..."
Lu Quan was interrupted by Qin Wenyuan when he was halfway through his words.
Qin Wenyuan stared coldly at Lu Dinghai behind him and said indifferently: "Master Lu, even if you want to guarantee something, you have to do it right."
"Your son Lu Dinghai brought smallpox to Chang'an, causing Chang'an to almost become another Wuwei."
"Are you sure...you can really protect him?"
The words fell.
The whole place fell into deathly silence again.
All the direct descendants of the Lu family looked at Lu Dinghai with horror.
They had no idea about this matter, and when they heard it, they were completely stunned.
"Dinghai, did you really...really bring smallpox into Chang'an?"
"Third brother, you are too arbitrary!"
"How foolish! Who on earth has bewitched you to bring smallpox into Chang'an?"
"My God, no wonder you look so bad even after Qin the Divine Doctor cured the smallpox at noon today."
The Lu family members all blamed Lu Dinghai.
At this moment, Lu Quan's heart suddenly started beating and his hands were trembling slightly.
He glared angrily at those behind him, and immediately the questioning words fell silent.
Then, he looked at Qin Wenyuan and said calmly: "Dr. Qin, you have nothing to prove without any evidence. You can't hold my Lu family accountable."
At this moment, even if Lu Dinghai was really the culprit of the smallpox in Chang'an, Lu Quan would protect him to the death.
Afterwards, he would of course go looking for trouble with Lu Dinghai, and he couldn't back down now, because this was a matter of face for the Lu family, and also of... the contest between the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats and the royal family!
Tonight, Qin Wenyuan represents the royal family, and he represents the Five Surnames and Seven Affiliations. If they retreat, it means that the Five Surnames and Seven Affiliations are retreating to the imperial court!
That is... since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this is the first time that the five surnames and seven families have retreated to the royal family.
Lu Quan dare not set such a precedent.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled, "It seems that Patriarch Lu will not give up until he sees the Yellow River, dog."
"Here!" said the Dog in a loud voice.
Qin Wenyuan didn't even turn his head, still staring at the direction of Lu's house, "Bring the things up."
"yes!"
Soon, the Dog came up.
He looked at Lu Quan and said calmly, "Liu Fu died two days ago. Before his death, both the court and the government found out from him that it was Lu Dinghai who brought him to Chang'an."
"This is human evidence."
"The physical evidence is the sealed wooden box that Liu Fu was transported in. With the cooperation of Liu Fu himself, we also found the wooden box. It was from the timber store managed by Lu Dinghai."
Hearing this, Lu Quan frowned and quickly interrupted, "Is that all? Is that enough to conclude that my son is the culprit of the Chang'an Tian'an Incident?"
"Your witnesses and physical evidence are all untenable. The witness Liu Fu may have been bribed or threatened. The physical evidence is even more strange. Now anyone can go to the lumber store to buy things. Are they all criminals?"
Qin Wenyuan chuckled, "Master Lu, this is wrong. Why don't you listen to what my men have to say?"
After that, Lu Quan looked at Xu Gou and said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm old now, and I get angry easily because of little things. Little brother, please continue."
Xu Gou nodded, took out a piece of wood, and continued, "This is one of the pieces of wood that sealed Liu Fu's wooden box that day."
"Master Lu, according to my research, this is top-grade red sandalwood. In the entire Chang'an City, only your Lu family has a place to obtain red sandalwood, and only your direct descendants can wear things made of red sandalwood."
"You are doing this to announce to the world that this is the symbol of your Lu family. Anyone who sees this is like seeing a direct descendant of the Lu family!"
"Therefore, apart from your Lu family, no one else in Chang'an City can own this kind of red sandalwood."
At this moment, seeing this rosewood, Lu Dinghai could no longer remain calm.
This piece of rosewood was indeed given to Yuheng by him. Not only that, the entire wooden box used to seal Liu Fu was made of this rosewood.
Because Yuheng told him at that time that good rosewood must be used to seal Liu Fu, otherwise there would be a risk of leakage.
That's why he gave it to Yuheng. He didn't think much about it at the time, but now he thinks about it, it turns out that Yuheng had already set a trap for him to fall into!
Yuheng, he has long been wanted to be the scapegoat!
Lu Dinghai became more and more angry. For the first time, he wanted someone to die! He wanted Yuheng to die!
Yuheng took advantage of his hatred and played him like a fool. If possible, Lu Dinghai really wanted to tear Yuheng into pieces!
And Lu Quan in front also changed his expression.
He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qin Wenyuan: "The physical evidence is irrefutable ."
"As for the witnesses, Patriarch Lu's statement that Liu Fu might have framed him maliciously is indeed inappropriate."
"As everyone knows, there are other smallpox patients in Chang'an, such as my poor wife, who turned herself in for Liu Fu and confessed in person. Let me ask, why did Liu Fu, who knew that he was guilty and was ready to atone for his sins, frame your child?"
"There is only one truth, that is, it was your Lu Dinghai who brought him in, and Liu Fu was just telling the truth!"
After that, Qin Wenyuan continued, "Come here, bring all the servants of the Lu family who escorted Liu Fu into Chang'an that day."
Soon, the soldiers brought four people.
When he saw these four people, Lu Dinghai was shocked.
Lu Yuntao on the side was surprised and said, "Third brother, this... isn't this your subordinate? A few days ago, you were eating vegetarian food all day and looked depressed. You were talking about the four of them dying and you were sad, so you wanted to mourn."
"How...how come they are alive again?"
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan looked at Lu Yuntao for a second longer, and then said, "That's because Lu Dinghai attempted murder!"
"You four, tell us what happened that day!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The four nodded in horror.
Finally, one of them spoke as a representative, "I remember that twenty days ago, we received an order from the Third Young Master, saying that we had to go out of the city and bring something back to Chang'an."
"At the time, the four of us didn't think much about it and went to the designated location outside Chang'an City, waiting for the arrival of the other party."
"Later, we also waited for what they were responsible for transporting, which was Liu Fu sealed in a wooden box."
"At the time, we didn't know that this was a smallpox patient. We thought it was some kind of cargo, so we used the pass given by the Third Young Master to deliver it to Chang'an without any obstruction."
"And when we got to Chang'an, the Third Young Master received it and actually... actually ordered someone to kill us in secret!"
"If the knight hadn't saved us, we really wouldn't have survived!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Quan's expression became even uglier.
At this point, he also knew that his stupid son had really brought smallpox into Chang'an.
But why did he bring smallpox in?
What on earth is he trying to do?
Lu Quan really wanted to slap Lu Dinghai to death.
Although Lu Quan was gritting his teeth in his heart, as if he had turned into a hungry wolf or a tiger, he wanted to devour Lu Dinghai alive.
But on the surface, he is still calm and unpredictable.
Lu Quan said calmly: "Dr. Qin, my son is indeed a bit suspicious in this case. In my opinion, this case is still full of doubts. Let's try it again the next day."
At this moment, Lu Quan wanted to use the tactic of procrastination.
The main reason why this incident tonight happened was because it was too sudden. He had no idea that his stupid son had done something wrong, so he did not make much preparations and was a little at a loss when facing Qin Wenyuan.
He thought, as long as he could hold out for tonight and contact other families tomorrow, he could confront them calmly with preparations made!
He is not afraid even of the royal family.
And how could Qin Wenyuan allow anyone to drag him through tonight?
He snorted coldly, and then sent out a voice that was neither hot nor cold, neither salty nor bland, with no emotion in it, but extremely loud.
"Master Lu, now we have all the evidence, but you still refuse to hand over the person."
"That's all right."
"But tomorrow, I will use my name, Qin Wenyuan, to announce in Chang'an that notices will be posted everywhere, letting all the people in Chang'an know that the smallpox came from your Lu family, and that you are also shielding the criminals of the smallpox incident."
"You said, I, Qin, have helped the people to cure smallpox. Today at noon, all the people came to worship me. Will they believe my words?"
Qin Wenyuan chuckled, ignoring Lu Quan's dark complexion, and stepped forward to pat Lu Quan on the shoulder, "Master Lu, take care of yourself."
"I hope that tomorrow when you face the public, you can still argue with reason and twist right and wrong."
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan pretended to take his people away.
"Let's go!" he shouted, and he didn't seem to be faking it.
Lu Quan looked at Qin Wenyuan, his eyes almost blazing with fire.
The people around, whether they were soldiers or members of the Lu family, were so frightened by the fight between the two that they were trembling all over.
Seeing Lu Quan getting more and more angry, they had never expected that in the confrontation between the two, Qin Wenyuan, a teenager, could be so evenly matched with the old hand, and even have a slight advantage.
“Wait!”
Finally, Lu Quan compromised and exhaled, "Dr. Qin, I just sorted out my thoughts and found that there is solid evidence in my child's case."
"I am not a person who protects his son. Please help me take this unfilial son away. He has committed a heinous crime, so he should be dealt with according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
Qin Wenyuan raised the corner of his mouth and turned back to say: "Master Lu is still sensible, Dog, bring our third son over here."
"Yes!" Xu Gou nodded, and immediately stepped forward to escort Lu Dinghai.
Lu Dinghai was shocked and tried to break free from Xu Gou's hands, but Xu Gou was just a warrior and it was impossible for him to break free.
"Dad, no, I'm your son!" Lu Dinghai shouted.
If he is handed over to Qin Wenyuan, given Qin Wenyuan's ruthless temper, he will not end up well at all!
Lu Dinghai could never have imagined that even his father, who had never lost, couldn't save him!
No matter how loudly Lu Dinghai shouted, Lu Quan remained unmoved and stared at Qin Wenyuan coldly.
"Dr. Qin, before the Dali Temple makes a thorough judgment, I hope you will treat my child well."
"If he gets into trouble by accident...it just so happens that Chang'an has been haunted recently, and he might even go to trouble you, Doctor Qin, because of my son's injustice."
Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Quan, and smiled: "Of course."
Lu Quan's compromise completely stunned Cheng Chumo, Li Junxian and the soldiers.
After a brief moment of surprise, they were all shocked!
Lu Quan, the patriarch of the Lu family, represents the Lu family, just like Li Shimin represents the royal family.
And now, throughout the whole process, Lu Quan was suppressed by Qin Wenyuan's momentum!
Now Lu Dinghai has been handed over!
This is simply unprecedented!!
This is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that the Five Surnames and Seven Families have bowed to the person represented by the royal family!
Cheng Chumo and Li Junxian now understand the meaning behind this representation!
Qin Wenyuan opened the first door, a door that the aristocratic family originally could not defeat!
Just telling them that the Five Surnames and Seven Families are not invincible!
They will also bow their heads and compromise!
The two were very excited.
And Changle was also stunned.
As a royal princess, she was also aware of the horror of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.
Now, her husband was able to suppress the Lu family. She couldn't believe it was real and thought it was a dream.
When Lu Dinghai was only one meter away from Qin Wenyuan, Qin Wenyuan began to carefully look at Lu Dinghai, who was endangering his wife.
"Ma'am, look, this is our family's enemy."
Changle remained unmoved when she heard Qin Wenyuan calling her.
This made Qin Wenyuan a little stunned. He turned around and saw his wife looking at him with an obsessed expression.
hiss!
My super silly wife, is she crazy about him?!
Qin Wenyuan was frowning and gently tapped Changle's little head.
"Ah?" Changle felt a slight pain and then came to his senses.
"Husband, why did you hit me?"
Changle did not complain at all, but said with a smile on his face.
Qin Wenyuan said helplessly: "I say, this Lu Dinghai, he hurt you before, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Changle thought about it seriously, then said with a bitter face: "I'll listen to you, my husband. I... I'm too stupid to think of it."
"Really can't think of it?"
"Well... I'm not as smart as you, my husband. You can make the head of the Lu family suffer a loss, so you must have thought of how to deal with the enemy."
"Well, alright."
At this moment, Lu Dinghai became angry when he saw Qin Wenyuan and his wife talking about their situation so openly.
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. If you insult me, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"
Qin Wenyuan's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Mr. Lu, do you know the whereabouts of Yuheng, also known as Master Huaji?"
Lu Dinghai nodded. His hatred for Yuheng made him say directly, “I really know this.”
"oh?"
Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows. Lu Dinghai was used as a scapegoat by Yuheng, and he thought the other party knew nothing.
Now it seems that I was being arbitrary.
"Tell me about Yuheng's information." Qin Wenyuan said lightly.
Lu Dinghai said: "If I tell you, will you not kill me? If not, then I will tell you!"
Qin Wenyuan thought about it and nodded without any question.
"I promise you."
Lu Dinghai breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, Qin Wenyuan was now famous all over the world, and his name as a miracle doctor would be known to everyone in Chang'an in the next few days. He would definitely not go back on his word.
Therefore, without any doubt, he leaned close to Qin Wenyuan's ear and began to whisper.
The more Qin Wenyuan listened, the deeper his frown deepened.
After a while, Lu Dinghai finished speaking.
He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said nervously: "I've said it all, you can't do anything to me..."
Lu Dinghai had just finished speaking when he was stabbed in the stomach.
He stared blankly at the ground below him, and saw a sword piercing through him.
"You..." Lu Dinghai looked at Qin Wenyuan, his eyes filled with confusion.
Qin Wenyuan didn't care and said calmly: "Third Young Master, I did promise not to kill you."
Qin Wenyuan stretched out his bloodless hands, somewhat helplessly, "Look, the one who is killing you now is me?"
" Do you think I, Qin, can control the others from killing you ?"
