At this moment, the rich gentry from the Youxian Chamber of Commerce gathered together again at Lu Deye's home.
Lu Liang and Lu Fang violently suppressed those who incited public opinion. Of course they knew about it.
Those people were taken to the county government office, which was also troublesome for them.
Especially Lu Deye, who was in charge of this matter.
He was currently sitting in the main seat of the main hall of his home, his face looking very ugly.
The man who went to Wanfu Inn to stir up trouble was arranged by him, as were those who incited public opinion among the crowd.
Some of them are workers under his Lu family.
I thought that this would put Lu Liang in a dilemma and even bring trouble on himself. I really didn't expect that Lu Liang would arrest him directly.
He was careless after all.
If those guys confess, Lu Liang will guess that he has dealings with bandits, right?
Lu Deye obviously didn't want to expose this matter.
Because once exposed, Lu Liang must be tortured to death. Or, Lu Liang must give up on the Shangyou County Chamber of Commerce.
Now it seems that both of these things are quite difficult.
Luliang's attitude towards suppressing bandits is very clear.
Furthermore, he also knew that Lao Xiao beside Lu Liang was a master.
The bandits under Lao Qiufeng had already sent the portrait over.
It’s difficult!
At this time, Lu Deye had already discussed the matter with the other gentry present. None of the tycoons came up with any good ideas.
How to force Lu Liang to submit?
Kill Lu Liang?
How to start?
Even if you succeed, how should you deal with the people coming to investigate from the court?
It is no small matter that a county magistrate dies in office.
They are just covering the sky in You County, but they don't have the ability to deal with higher-level officials, especially those who investigate cases.
At this time, Yu Yi came with people.
"Master Lu!"
Until the main hall.
First he shouted to Lu Deye, and then nodded to the other gentry.
Lu Deye looked at the people behind Yu Yi and said slightly stunned: "Master Yu, what are you..."
Yu Mao said: "Lu Liang plans to use torture to extract a confession. I have no choice but to break up with him and bring him over to you."
"this……"
Lu Deye frowned and waved to those people, "You all go down first!"
Then he shouted to the outside: "Steward, reward me with money."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Having just followed Yu Yi here, the few people who were still a little nervous quickly thanked them and went out.
Lu Deye then said to Yu Yi: "You have already broken up with Lu Liang? So, doesn't there be no room for mediation between us and him?"
Yu Yi found a seat and sat down by himself, and chuckled, "Could it be that after recruiting these people, the Lu Family Master can continue to mediate with him?"
Then he glanced at everyone and said: "I think this is just a matter of time. In fact, it doesn't matter. No matter how talented he is, Lu Liang is just a foreigner. This You County can't tolerate him making the decision, right? Everyone is here
, is it not easy to stand him up?"
Lu Deye still frowned, "Ignore him... What if he reports it to his superiors?"
"Strike first will gain you strength, but striking later will lead to disaster!"
Yu Yi said sadly: "He can complain to the superiors, and so can we. Let the bandits cause trouble for a while first, and then... you encourage the people below to write a letter to the people and submit it to the Tanzhou Futai Yamen to sue him.
Luliang is not governed properly, and the people of Youxian have suffered greatly. If the situation is improved at that time, Luliang will be in dire straits."
Lu Deye narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm just afraid of getting angry..."
None of them can withstand investigation.
He really didn't want to disturb those people above him if it was not necessary.
Yu Yi chuckled, "As long as we take care of things properly, the fire won't be able to burn us."
Lu Deye did not answer, but looked at the other gentry, "Everyone, what do you think?"
"Since this Lu Liang is a tyrant, then we might as well fight against him. Let him have no one to use and let him not collect taxes. Let's see what he does!"
Someone immediately interfaced.
Then someone else said: "He still has people pestering him every day to ask for his salary! I don't believe that with just those two hundred Chaling troops, he can still make waves in our Youxian County."
"master!"
"master!"
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao said.
As soon as the wealthy gentleman finished speaking, a servant of the Lu family hurried over outside.
While running, he shouted: "There are many soldiers outside! They broke in!"
"Um?"
Lu Deye Wenya stood up suddenly, "What did you say?"
The servant ran into the main hall, panting, "Here we come, there are so many soldiers here, we can't stop them."
Now, even those wealthy gentry could not sit still.
Their expressions changed slightly.
Lu Deye suddenly looked at Yu Mi and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Yu Yi also had a solemn look on his face. After thinking for a while, he slapped his leg suddenly, "That's bad! He's probably trying to kill all of us! If he catches us all, this Youxian County will fall under his control!"
"
He quickly walked up to Lu Deye and said, "Mr. Lu, please explain quickly and prepare a way out for us!"
"Li Yong!"
Lu Deye shouted outside with an ugly expression.
The Lu family's housekeeper hurried over.
Lu Deye said: "If we are caught, you immediately send a message to Lao Qiufeng and the others and let them think of ways to cause trouble! In addition, organize people from all the families to go to the county government to cause trouble and force Lu Liang to release us. If that doesn't work... just rush in.
Get us out!"
"well."
The housekeeper Li Yong had a confused expression and agreed repeatedly.
Then walked outside.
As soon as he left, the Chaling Army from outside broke in.
There were dozens of people, all wearing armor, headed by Han Feihong.
Lu Fang, Lu Liang and Lao Xiao followed him.
More than a dozen servants of the Lu family stood in front of him, but they did not dare to stop him.
When Lu Deye saw this scene, he threw up his sleeves and walked out of the door. He shouted at Lu Liang and asked: "County Magistrate Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Liang snorted coldly and said: "Lu Deye, this county suspects that you are secretly colluding with bandits, and now we want to take you back to the government office for questioning!"
Then he waved his hands and said: "Take them all!"
A group of Chaling troops surrounded Lu Deye and others.
On the way to Wanfu Inn, he discussed it with Lu Fang. Even if you want to turn You County upside down, you must first capture Lu Deye and his gang.
"you!"
Lu Deye pointed at Lu Liang, "You are unjustly accused! If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother! We will file a complaint with the Futai Yamen!"
Lu Liang was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
Complain?
We have to wait until you can survive until then.
In less than a minute, Lu Deye and others were detained one by one by Chaling soldiers.
They didn't resist.
He probably also knows that resisting is of no use.
Everyone just yelled and cursed.
"Bring them all back to the Yamen!"
Lu Liang turned a deaf ear and watched them all surrender and just snorted coldly.
In this way, dozens of Chaling troops escorted Lu Deye and his gang, and followed Lu Liang and others towards the county government office.
The entire Lu family also became chaotic.
The master was actually arrested, which is unprecedented.
When the Chaling soldiers escorted Lu Deye and others to the street, many people watched.
Lu Deye and his gang are all prominent figures in Youxian County.
