Chapter 815: The Jiangdong Lu Family is Destroyed

"Tell me, why do you want to assassinate me?"

Wu Sansi suppressed his sadness and roared angrily.

The young man had already gotten into the role and lowered his head tremblingly.

"My lord, my lord, he said that you, under the name of Emperor Wu, are actually a traitor to the Great Zhou. If we don't kill you, it would be against the will of heaven and man. Therefore, we will take this opportunity to come and kill you."

Lu Yi was stabbed to death at the beginning.

It doesn't matter whether he said such words or not.

What’s important is that the young man said that this sentence was said by Lu Yi, so whether Lu Yi said it or not, he said it.

The three people, Prime Minister Lin Yongzhong, General Fang Ruhai and General Yang Dacheng, who were "late", were extremely angry when they heard what the young man said.

"Your Majesty, may I know the name of the assassin?" Lin Yongzhong pretended not to know and stepped forward to ask.

"Lu family, Lu Yi!" Wu Sansi's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it.

Lin Yongzhong was furious: "Your Majesty, how dare Lu Yi alone commit such a treasonous act? Please issue an order to bring the entire Lu family to justice!"

Wu Sansi nodded: "I'll leave this matter to General Yang."

Yang Dacheng clasped his fists and led a large group of people towards the urban area where the Lu family was located. He killed five or six killers along the way and then disappeared at the end of the street.

There were not many killers left. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining ones did not want to be captured alive, so they committed suicide by drawing their swords.

The sudden assassination of Emperor Wu was resolved at this point.

Shanyin County, Lu family.

The head of the family, Lu Yan, arrived at the door of his house and looked at General Yang Dacheng, one of the powerful generals under the command of Emperor Wu Sansi of the Great Wu. He didn't understand what his family had done wrong that this man was blocking the door.

"Yang Cheqi, what crime did my Lu family commit that you have to come and block our door?"

"Master Lu, you seem so calm and composed. What's the matter? Have you forgotten about the assassination attempt on His Majesty?"

"Just a quarter of an hour ago, His Majesty was assassinated while leaving the palace. Your Master Lu Yi brought his servants and guards to assassinate His Majesty. The Patriarch of the Lu family should be well aware of this, right?"

"My son, Lu Yi, is loyal to his emperor and patriotic! He is well-read in the books of sages. How could he commit such a heinous act?"

"Loyal to the emperor and patriotic?" Yang Dacheng felt as if he had heard a huge joke. "He is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic! However, the emperor he is loyal to is Wu Zetian, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, not Wu Sansi, the Emperor of the Great Wu. And the country he loves is the Great Zhou, not our Great Wu!"

Even if Lu Yan had a good temper, he wouldn't be humiliated by Yang Dacheng like this. He roared angrily: "Don't spit blood!"

Yang Dacheng snorted coldly, "Search the entire Lu family, seal off the Lu residence, and don't allow anyone to enter or leave at will. Imprison all members of the Lu family in the Sky Prison!"

Lu Yan's eyes widened: "Let's see who dares!"

He originally thought that as a big family in Jiangdong, the Lu family would never dare to attack these soldiers no matter how unreasonable they were.

But he eventually forgot that when a scholar meets a soldier, it is difficult to explain his reason.

Not to mention, this was what Wu Sansi asked Yang Dacheng to do, and Yang Dacheng would never let them go no matter what.

Yang Dacheng waved his hand, and soldiers rushed in immediately. They kicked Lu Yan to the ground with a vicious kick, and then began to search the Lu Mansion like a flood and a beast.

The once glorious Jiangdong Lu family was trampled under the feet of Wu Sansi in the name of assassination in just one hour, and they will never be able to recover in this life.

After walking around the backyard, Yang Dacheng came to Lu Yan's study. He looked around on the left and right, and finally found a letter that had been opened long ago in a secret compartment.

He grinned and said, "The Prime Minister is truly insidious. He assassinated Your Majesty, colluded with Li Cunxi, the Prince of Qin in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then found some random crime that the Lu family had violated the law. This family is completely finished."

"If the Lu family's heads are cut off, won't their gold, silver, jewelry, food, fodder, carriages and horses all be ours?"

Soon, the soldiers escorting the Lu family arrived at the Sky Prison, and Yang Dacheng took the letter and entered the palace.

Wu Sansi took the letter forged by Lin Yongzhong in his hand and sneered.

"The Lu family has a lot of wealth. This time, it's all ours."

Lin Yongzhong bowed and said nothing.

The Lu family was a prominent family that had been passed down for several dynasties, but by the time of their Great Wu dynasty, it had completely disappeared.

In that forged letter, Li Cunxi wrote to Lu Yan, explaining that the Lu, Zhang, Liu and other twelve families were forced to rebel. After Li Cunxi conquered the nineteen states of Jiangdong, he would pardon all the sins of the twelve families on behalf of the emperor.

With this letter, the twelve families headed by the Lu and Zhang families were found guilty of having an affair with Li Cunxi, and the evidence was conclusive.

As for finding charges of committing crimes, it is even easier. Lin Yongzhong will go back and work overtime tonight, and tomorrow he will be able to obtain thousands of materials on crimes committed by the wealthy and powerful families in the 19 states.

Even if we can't kill these aristocratic families, with so many leverage in our hands, they will have to obey us.

"Pass on the contents of this letter to me."

"Then, we will only search and confiscate the Lu and Zhang families, and spare the other ten families. This will make them believe that we have no desire to harm them."

"When peeling a living person's skin, you have to peel it slowly. If you peel it too quickly, they will die in front of us."

Wu Sansi was smart for once and gave the letter to Lin Yongzhong.

"I understand, Your Majesty," said Lin Yongzhong.

"Yongzhong, you are truly my Zhuge Kongming, my Zhang Zifang, and my Xun Wenruo!" Wu Sansi sighed. "When I'm at my wit's end, I only need to turn to you and you'll always find a way to deal with the situation."

Lin Yongzhong shook his head. "Your Majesty, I am not Xun Wenruo! Xun Wenruo claimed to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in reality, he defected to Cao Cao. When the Han Dynasty was slain, Xun Wenruo remained silent. Cao Cao was crowned king, yet he pretended to be so! Such a double-faced person, although talented, should not be employed!"

"My Kong Ming, what you said makes sense!"

"Your Majesty, I wish to be the Han Dynasty's Xiao He, wholeheartedly handling your Majesty's internal affairs. As for marching and fighting, this is something I am not familiar with. For fighting, you still need the cooperation of the General, the General of Cavalry, and the General of Chariots and Cavalry."

"Yongzhong is worthy of being my Kong Ming!" Wu Sansi applauded.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

Fang Ruhai and Yang Dacheng looked at Lin Yongzhong, who was highly favored by the emperor, and did not envy him at all.

If this kind of person who follows Wu Sansi wholeheartedly is not valued by Wu Sansi, then Wu Sansi must be blind. The two of them will not follow a blind person.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have a small question." Fang Ruhai rubbed his hands.

"Ruhai, ask." Wu Sansi said.

"If word gets out to Li Cunxi about our actions, will he deny it outright? If he does, we're in big trouble."
