Chapter 174 Attack or block?

When Yun Xi returned to the mission room alone, Ren Danqing was a little surprised: "How come you are the only one? Where are you, sir?"

"It's torture." Yun Xi shrugged, "My lord won't let me see it."

The corners of Ren Danqing's mouth twitched. Don't you say such sweet words to the old man?

"I don't know when my poison will come in handy..."

Yun Xi murmured something in a low voice, which made Master Ren, who was so bitter just now, instantly dumbfounded.

The little girl who co-wrote it feels like she has no chance to perform?!

After all, it doesn’t happen every day that experts are given sweat drops.

Lu Qingfan came out of the dungeon in about half an hour.

He used a cheesecloth handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on his hands bit by bit, while his dark eyes looked towards the horizon.

The sun that has risen above the head is so hot and warm that it warms the whole body, dispelling the cold and bloody atmosphere in the dungeon.

Lu Qingfan raised a faint smile on his thin lips and walked towards the backyard.

In Ran Piao's errand room, Ren Danqing had sorted out all the accounts and was preparing to go out with the files.

"Oh, sir, are you done with the trial?" Ren Danqing was startled, hesitating whether to hear the conclusion or send the dossier first.

Lu Qingfan waved his hand, indicating that he should go about his business.

After Ren Danqing left, Lu Qingfan washed his hands with soap and water, then sat at the table and glanced at the summary of the account book left by Ren Danqing...it was filled with more than a dozen pieces of rice paper.

"Feng Sanzhao, he is indeed the mastermind."

Lu Qingfan flipped through it quickly, remembering the various yamen he had dealt with in his mind. He raised his head and said to Master Yun Xi, who had been looking forward to his conclusion, "The Lu family is short of money."

Lu Xiang fell into the trap because he was looking for his younger brother Lu Huan, who was kidnapped several years ago.

He is good at making tools and knows how to identify stone quality. Such a talent would be a real treasure when placed in the Ministry of Industry... but when placed in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he would appear to be neither fish nor fowl.

This is also the reason why Lu Xiang has been wandering in the lower ranks for several years without being promoted.

"The Lu family has been spending a lot of money to find out about the kidnapper, trying to find clues about Dun Er. Feng San noticed Lu Xiang and took the opportunity to introduce him to Wuji Tower."

At this point, Yun Xi has already connected everything before and after.

Feng San took a fancy to Lu Xiang's ability. They lacked such a talent in the chain of interests of building the iron smelting field. Pinching Lu Xiang's weakness was tantamount to strangling his lifeline.

Everyone knows how expensive Wuji Tower’s information is.

Lu Xiang got on the pirate ship and could not get off again.

What's disgusting is that Feng San deceived Lu Xiang into spending money to buy information, and at the same time intercepted information about Wuji Tower to make second-hand money.

"Lu Xiang said that Wuji Building was still investigating, and went to Wuji Building to pretend to take a walk but didn't buy anything. Feng San just got through this and delayed several times, right?"

Lu Qingfan nodded and acquiesced to what Yun Xi said.

"The evil in the human heart can reach this level." Yun Xi murmured.

It is not difficult to imagine that when Lu Xiang keeps searching without hope, or one day he suddenly learns the truth and wants to quit the ironmaking field, Feng San will choke Lu Xiang's throat with the past, making him unable to move forward or retreat; and Wuji Tower discovered

Feng San had been behaving differently, so he secretly sent someone to investigate, and this was how the brothers unexpectedly recognized each other.

"Perhaps at that time, Lu Xiang, who had found his younger brother, was about to leave, but an explosion occurred."

Lu Qingfan clicked on the statistics of the missing people in Shuntian Mansion and the village, as well as the strange cases reported by several yamen over the years.

They had deduced before that if there were so many casualties, there would definitely be no trace left.

"It seems that Lu Xiangdao is not the worst among them all." Yun Xi murmured.

While he was talking, Ran Piao hurried back with a file under his arm.

When he came in, he took the kettle and poured water into his mouth. Qingguo took the empty teapot and filled it with another one. He drank it all in one gulp and quenched his thirst.

"That grandson of Dun Er lied to us!" Ran Piao said angrily: "He went back home, and he went back with Lu Xiang!"

"Tell me in detail." Lu Qingfan asked.

Yun Xi sat upright, her little head moving forward unconsciously.

"He followed Lu Xiang back home! Several villagers in Lujia Village have seen this person," Ran Piao said, pulling out a portrait from the confession...

Although his painting is not as good as that of Master Ren, Yun Xi can still clearly identify that this person is indeed Dun Er.

"You two, I have tried my best to draw this, so please put aside your disgusted expressions for the time being!"

Ran Piao wiped the thin sweat from his forehead and continued: "But just three or two days after returning home, the Lu family never went back."

Thinking of the deserted courtyard and the courtyard already covered with cobwebs, Ran Piao suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Yun Xi connected the clues before and after, and a sudden possibility suddenly made her stand up. A pair of smart eyes looked at Lu Qingfan in surprise: "Sir..."

Lu Qingfan also stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's Dun Er."

After that, he passed Yun Xi's side and held Yun Xi's hand, shouting: "Master Ran, inform the officers to surround Wuji Tower."

After saying that, he pulled Yun Xi onto the horse and the two of them galloped away.

"No, sir..." Ran Piao was stunned, "What is Shield II?"

Before he could react, Qing Guo sighed and patted Ran Piao on the shoulder: "The one who cut the corpses into pieces and killed the people was Dun Er. Look, slave, Dun Er probably doesn't know anything about the iron trade. He may not be sure.

He also lied to fool us...Hey, Mr. Ran!"

When Qingguo was talking, Ran Piao ran outside with a panicked look on his face, and kept saying: "It's broken, it's broken! The siege of Wuji Tower cannot be accomplished by our guards alone. We have to coordinate the Jinyi Guards."

…”

Qingguo watched Lord Ran go straight to Lu Shangshu's place, poked his chin and said, "Your Majesty, you are enlightened. You already know that you need to call in foreign aid."

Let's talk about Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan riding towards the outskirts of Beijing. They entered the building directly. Lu Qingfan said in a deep voice: "Please ask your landlord to come out immediately, right away! Otherwise..."

His sword intent surged up, and a strong internal energy flowed through his body and slashed straight at the puppet.

The puppet's eyes moved in surprise, and then he uttered two words: "Wait."

A moment later, Hua Jianying, who was covered in clothes and had put on a new mask, suddenly appeared. He looked at Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi in surprise, "Why are you here again? Didn't you say I would give you three days to investigate?"

Only half a day has passed.

"Young Master Hua, Dun Er is the person we are looking for! His 'three days' is a delaying tactic, I'm afraid he has disappeared now!"

After Yun Xi finished speaking hastily, Lu Qingfan nodded and confirmed her inference.

Hua Jianying has always had a good temper. He made a decision immediately: "Go and find Shield Er."

As soon as these words came out, all the mechanisms in the corridor moved. The grand occasion was truly a mysterious scene that cannot be described in any book.

It turns out that there are so many puppets hidden among the stones in these corridors. Wouldn’t it be obvious to people who pass by this place?

There was a bit of surprise in Yun Xi's eyes, and she silently observed the changes in the corridors... After a moment, responses came from all the corridors one after another, all saying "Dun Er is not here".

And the person has been gone for most of the day.

At this moment, Hua Jianying knew that what Yun Xi and the others said was true.

"This bastard!"

Hua Jianying was so angry that the veins in his temples twitched. He said to Lu Qingfan: "We made an oversight this time. You can do whatever you want, and we will provide you with clues immediately..."

Lu Qingfan nodded when he heard this and said calmly: "Thank you."

When Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi exited the Wuji Building, they saw Ran Piao leading countless Jinyi guards in Feiyu uniforms surrounding the entire Wuji Building. The officers from the Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of Justice were interspersed in the middle, which seemed quite unsightly.

Lu Qingfan couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw this: "Why did you alert the guard station?"

"Um, this..."

Ran Piao said sarcastically: "Master, aren't you going to besiege the Wuji Tower? Then the villain will naturally have to find some experts to help!"

Looking at the yamen, can anyone compare with the martial arts skills of the people in the Jinyi Guardhouse?!

Lu Qingfan couldn't help but sigh: "Are you allowed to make the decision without permission?"

He just said that besieging Wuji Tower was not a "siege".

A difference of one word makes a difference of a thousand miles.

Ran Piao was also stunned.

It was with great difficulty that he asked Lord Shangshu to go to the palace to seek rescue. Without the Lord personally requesting the order, they couldn't even ask anyone from the guardhouse.

"Master Ran, we were just in case, but the criminal had already escaped." Yun Xi explained helplessly: "We were a step too late."

This is embarrassing.

Ran Piao looked at the gloomy-faced guards behind him, and for a moment he didn't know how to smooth things over for himself.

Lu Qingfan stepped forward and walked to the side of the deputy envoy of Jin Yiwei, cupping his fists and saluting: "Thank you all for your help. I will thank you again in the future, Lu Qingfan."

"No attack?" The deputy envoy of Jin Yiwei also cherished his words like gold.

"No attack." Lu Qingfan nodded, "The man ran away."

He opened his thin lips slightly and said a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
