Chapter 78 Arrogant Lu Xiao

Jia Teng looked at Zhu Jinxuan who returned to Dongsheng Inn and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

That's right, after thinking about it for two days, the way Jia Teng thought of was to use his identity as a yamen runner at this time, pretending that a lot of money was stolen, and the excuse of waiting for Zhou Guan to come to investigate the case and delaying Zhu Jinxuan's departure.

As for how long it can be delayed, it depends on when the personnel in the East Factory plan will be in place, or whether Zhou Guan, the magistrate, can withstand the pressure.

Fortunately, this excuse has not had many loopholes due to the help of Tianji Pavilion. Qiangu did come to report the case to Captain Wang, the leader of the yamen runner here yesterday. The stolen silver of 300 taels is not a small amount in Yao Town and even Xin'an County.

Although it is still a bit unreasonable to block the town under such an excuse and not to go out, it is finally barely able to fool it.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that he had worked hard for a long time and planned a "trick plan" with Tianji Pavilion for a long time. Just now, because of those stupid and life-threatening yamen runners, they attracted the suspicious eyes of the Jinyiwei and those masters who protected Zhu Jinxuan's safety.

Buddhism says that what causes you sow and what results you get.

If the Dongchang wants to use Zhou Guan and his yamen runners, he must bear the omissions and mistakes made by the yamen runners who have no tacit understanding with them and do not know the specific content.

...

"East Factory!"

In Yuelai Inn, Lu Xiao, who received rewards from his subordinates, instantly guessed who was damning behind his back, gritted his teeth and slammed the table hard, and cursed with hatred.

"I knew these damn eunuchs would not let go so easily. Unexpectedly, this time they learned to use the power of Xin'an County government to hide their whereabouts."

After scolding Dongchang, Zhou Guan, the Xin'an magistrate who had helped him a lot before, naturally could not escape his curse.

"And that damn Zhou Papi. As a seventh-rank magistrate, isn't he afraid that the news that he and the eunuchs of the East Factory will be completely disgusted by the censors in the capital, or even scolded to death, which will be deviled for thousands of years?"

Lu Xiao is not exaggerating this point. He only experienced that dark era a few years ago. The court where he had to bow to the eunuchs and the harem was detested by the eunuchs and was even more vigilant about the eunuchs' intervention in the court. As long as there was a trace of signs, the court would definitely be an endless and powerful blow.

Not to mention the officials who get along with the eunuchs. In any era, traitors have always been more hateful and hateful than enemies.

Unfortunately, although Lu Xiao knew this inside story well and knew clearly that as long as he revealed a little news, it would be enough to put Zhou Guan into an abyss that would never be restored, and that Dongchang would also usher in full friction from the censors and even the entire civil servant system, he still could not do so.

Because Zhu Jinxuan, the princess who was destined to cause even greater trouble, was still in the Kiln Town at this time.

As long as those censors have not blind eyes and ears are not deaf, then while Zhou Guan was destroyed and Dongchang was suppressed, Zhu Jinxuan's affairs will be exposed. At that time, the censors and the court, who had been completely detonated due to previous events, will surely turn their guns immediately and begin to vent all the accumulated anger and strength to the emperor.

When Lu Xiao thought of that scene, he felt a little trembling.

He didn't mind doing the unlucky things in the East Factory. He was very happy to let Zhou Guan, the guy who betrayed him, die, but if this would implicate the emperor, implicate himself, and even let him follow him to bury him. He would not want to do such a loss-making business.

But just watching Dongchang get involved in this matter, Lu Xiao was very unwilling to accept it.

Although he still didn't know why Dongchang kept Zhu Jinxuan in Yao Town for the time being, this did not prevent him from demolishing Dongchang's platform. At the same time, he added some more obstacles to Zhou Guan, a bastard who tried to step on two boats.

...

"Bastard, don't you even recognize me?!" Seeing that his carriage was indeed stopped, Lu Xiao was delighted, but he was furious on his face. He lifted up the curtain of the carriage and cursed at the yamen runners who stopped his carriage.

"Lu Dongjia, we are also doing errands. You have a lot of sir, so don't make things difficult for us, right?"

This time, even if the man named He didn't speak, the attitude of the yamen runners became very friendly and even humble, and they looked at the dishes. This was the talent of a soap servant like a yamen runner.

"A errand," Lu Xiao's face became even more angry, "Can I be someone who lacks so few taels of silver?"

"You don't need it, you don't need it..." The yamen runner waved his hand quickly.

"Bastard." Lu Xiao's face cleared a little, but after a moment he burst out with greater anger. He slapped the yamen runner's face with a sudden slap.

The yamen runner who was slapped first looked aggrieved and confused, but immediately understood the reason why Lu Xiao was so angry. He was so scared that he immediately fell to the ground and began to slap himself without hesitation.

"The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die."

"Hmph!" Lu Xiao snorted angrily, and Lu Xiao stopped looking at him, sat back on the carriage, shook his hand, signaling the coachman to continue walking, and put down the curtain, regardless of the yamen runner who might be the Dongchang man, and his face implicitly angry.

The carriage left, kneeling on the ground and slapped himself, his face was completely swollen at this time. He stood up and looked at the carriage that was leaving. He was both glad and angry. In the end, he couldn't help but hold back the anger in his heart and spit bloody saliva in the direction where the carriage was leaving.

"You guys watch here first, I'll report to the stall owner first." The man named He, who knew Lu Xiao's true identity, was naturally not like these yamen runners who knew nothing. He felt that Lu Xiao was just arrogant and domineering to look down on them. He felt in his heart that the other party had seen something.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed. If all the people who came this time were his own brothers, he wouldn't have said a few more words to these yamen runners because of anger and worry, so he would not have revealed any flaws and made things the current situation.

He only hopes that Lu Xiao, the hundreds of Jinyiwei households, can move slowly so that the personnel of the East Factory can arrive in time and will not be at a disadvantage when a fight occurs like before.

As for Lu Xiao not finding the flaw just now, he was just testing it, but he didn't dare to have too much hope.
