"Ding! Lu Shizhi has called you a tyrant. System Points 1999!”
"Ding, Duke Lu has called you a tyrant, System Points 3999!”
"Ding! Lu Zhi has called you a tyrant, System Points 5999!”
Ying Changqing revealed a mocking smile.
He was not convinced, but he dared not say anything. He could only curse himself in his heart. He wanted to play silence with himself, right?
"Men, raid the Lu family for me. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!”
"Focus on searching the account books. As long as they have connections with the Lu family, don't let a single one go!”
Ying Changqing sneered.
"You!"
Lu Shizhi panicked. However, before he could take a step forward, a heavy horse lance had already smashed into his body.
"Kacha!"
Lu Shizhi's leg bone was broken by the force. He fell to the ground and struggled in pain.
"How dare you disrespect His Highness, you're courting death!”
"Take him down and greet him properly. Remember, don't kill him easily!”
The captain of the guards glanced at Lu Shizhi in disdain. Then, someone dragged Lu Shizhi away like a dead dog and used all kinds of torture.
Throughout the entire process, Lu Shizhi's father, Lu Gong, was trembling like a sieve because of fear and could not say a word.
He had never thought that the long-term investment that he was so proud of would bring such a big disaster to his family.
Not only was this Young Master Changqing ruthless, but he was also extremely decisive. The techniques that Duke Lu had used to deal with the officials and merchants had no room to be used at all.
Could it be that the Lu family was really going to be completely exterminated today?
"Your Highness, the Lu Family is indeed at fault, but it shouldn't be destroyed, right?”
"Your Highness, please spare my father and brother on account of the heavens 'kindness!”
"As long as you can keep your family alive, you can take whatever you want from the Lu family!”
On the contrary, Lu Zhi was the first to recover from his shock. He took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and bowed to Ying Changqing.
"Oh?"
"I didn't expect the most courageous person in the Lu family to be a woman!”
"I remember hearing that you were dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by Duke Lu. Why are you pleading for them now?”
Ying Changqing said noncommittally.
"No matter how much they complain, they are still E'huan's parents!”
"If Young Master needs to kill people to vent his anger, then let E'er do it!" Lu Zhi said with a bitter smile.”
Ying Changqing's expression changed slightly.
With his strength and vision, he could naturally tell that Lu Zhi's gaze was not fake.
He did not expect that this Poison Queen, who could be said to be of the ancient level, actually had such a filial side.
However, in history, it was indeed Liu Bang who had let Lu Zhi down first.
In the beginning, Lu Zhi was actually considered virtuous. Although she was unwilling, she could not go against her father's wishes. In the end, she married Liu Bang, who was nearly twenty years older than her and already had an illegitimate child. She took care of her husband and raised her children.
In the end, after Liu Bang raised his rebellion and had some achievements, he took in Qi Ji and other beauties along the way and directly threw Lu Zhi to the back of his mind.
Later on, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu lost the competition, and their hometown was destroyed. Lu Zhi was imprisoned by Xiang Yu for three years. When he finally returned, Liu Bang wanted to establish another empress and crown prince. In the end, the civil and military officials under his command could not stand it anymore and opposed it, so he had no choice but to give up.
Such heartless behavior, let alone Lu Zhi, even ordinary women would probably not be able to stand it and turn against each other.
In history, Empress Lu had been in charge of government affairs for decades. Although she had killed many meritorious officials and the Liu family, she had made great achievements in internal affairs, which showed her talent.
It would be a waste of talent to kill him so easily.
Anyway, Ying Changqing was a tyrant. Viciousness wasn't a weakness at all, as long as he didn't target his own people.
The more brutal the enemy, the better. Any mercy would only pave the way for one's own death.
Thinking of this, Ying Changqing made a decision.
"The Lu Clan colluding with the remnants of the Six Nations should have been sentenced to death!”
"But this Young Master sees that you are quite talented, Lu Zhi, so I can give you an extra chance!”
"As long as you are willing to serve this young master, this young master can temporarily exempt Duke Lu and the others from the death penalty and change it to imprisonment.”
Ying Changqing glanced at Lu Zhi and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"As long as Your Highness can bypass Lu Zhi's family, Lu Zhi is willing to be a slave and serve Your Highness for the rest of his life!”
Lu Zhi hurriedly bowed and said.
Duke Lu, who was still trembling, heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the Lu family had suffered a great calamity today and Lu Shizhi's legs had been broken, it seemed that the lives of the others could be saved.
Although he would still be imprisoned, as long as this Young Master Changqing took a fancy to Lu Zhi, there was still room for redemption.
Duke Lu was very confident in his daughter's beauty.
It was said that this Young Master Changqing had yet to get married.
"All of you have misunderstood. What this young master wants is not your beauty, but your brains!”
"And the first task I'll give you is to find clues about the remnants of the six dynasties from the many materials I've collected and capture them all in one fell swoop!”
"The punishment of Duke Lu and the others will be reduced accordingly to the amount of contribution you can make!”
"And if you don't see any effect within a month, then Lu Zhi, you can go to the netherworld with your family!”
said Ying Changqing with a cold smile.
Duke Lu, who was sitting on the throne and dreaming of a comeback, was dumbfounded.
How could they have thought that this infamous, savage, and lecherous young master actually did not fancy Lu Zhi's beautiful face? Then wouldn't all his thoughts be in vain?
This was completely against common sense!
Even Lu Zhi himself was stunned for a long time before he recovered.
There was actually such a strange person in this world?
What he was interested in was not her beauty, but her talent?
And he was even willing to give him such a challenge?
They would work together to deal with something as important as the remnants of the Six Nations.
Lu Zhi's heart had been suppressed for a long time because of the rules of etiquette, and a certain thought was immediately stimulated.
The way she looked at Ying Changqing was completely different.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"I accept this challenge!"
"I won't disappoint Your Highness!"
Lu Zhi said in a deep voice.
"Very good. Then the first thing you have to do next is to bring people to capture Liu Bang and Xiao He!”
Ying Changqing suddenly had a wicked feeling in his heart.
Lu Zhi was stunned again.
