Chapter 166 Drumming

After understanding the details clearly, Lu Shang pondered for a while, and asked softly: "Did the White Ape Club involve other people besides giving Lu Jian?"

"No." Lu Xiu and the others shook their heads.

"How is it possible..." Lu Shang frowned. Now Lu Yun is not only a core child of the Lu Francisco, but also has become a disciple of Lu Xian under the witness of a group of senior officials. Even if the White Ape Society does it neatly, the consequences of assassination will be very serious. Not only will he be severely attacked by his own lord, but he will also have to face Lu Xian's thunder and anger. Lu Jian can never stand it alone, and he must have the support of the elders to cover up the matter.

So Lu Shang did his best this time, just because he had the idea of ​​pulling up the radish and bringing out the mud, and wanted to involve the Great Elder...

"We have interrogated Guqi on the boat, but he bit him to death, only dealing with Lu Jian, and didn't know anything else." Lu Xiu said helplessly: "I dare not force him into a hurry. If he dies by breaking his tendons and veins, he will be backfire."

"Well..." Lu Shang sighed in disappointment, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm too impatient."

There was a silence in the carriage. Seeing the Lu Valve House, Lu Xin asked a key question: "Master of the Valve, where is Lu Jian now?"

"I told Lu Qi to stay with him in the name of reconciliation." Lu Shang said in a deep voice: "Now, you can arrest him!" As he said that, he took out the warrant written long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Xin and said: "You and Lu Xia, Lu Wei go to the Accounts Council for a trip. If he dares not obey, you don't have to be polite!"

"Yes!" Lu Xin took the order with both hands, received the order in a deep voice, and got out of the car and called Lu Wei, Lu Xia, and the three of them rushed towards the Accounting Department.

Lu Shang and others took a carriage and entered Sanwei Hall through the side door. With Lu Xiu's support, Lu Shang got out of the car and said to a guard: "Beat the drum to the hall!"

The guard took the order in a deep voice, walked through Sanwei Hall, came to the cowhide drum on the main entrance of the ancestral hall, picked up the drumsticks, and started to beat them hard one after another.

The rumbling drum sound instantly spread throughout Lufang. In the Elder's Courtyard, the Great Elder was drinking tea. When he heard the sudden drum sound, his heart trembled for no reason, his hands trembled, and the teacup fell to pieces...

The servant hurried forward to clean up and saw a large piece of green tea splashed on the Great Elder's robe. He also asked the Great Elder to change his clothes later.

The elder didn't care much about it, and looked at the several confidants sitting opposite him and said, "What happened? He actually beat the drum?" There has always been a major event in the valve. It was not too late to notify him one by one, so he beat the drum and summoned a group of elders. The deacon went to Sanwei Hall to discuss matters urgently.

Several elders shook their heads in confusion, but the elder was a little scheming in his heart and thought to himself: "Is it because the White Ape Club succeeded?" Although he tacitly agreed to Lu Jian to buy murder, the elder would not ask too much about such a fatal matter.

"You will know when you go." The Great Elder asked the servant to take the robe over and change it in front of everyone.

At this time, an elder quickly walked in from outside, approached the elder's ear, and reported in a low voice.

After hearing the report, the Great Elder Ping's hands raised actually trembled slightly. After a while, he came to his senses and said to the elders: "Lu Shang has made a move!"

"What's his name?" several elders asked hurriedly.

"Someone saw Lu Xiu, Lu Xin and a few others caught a thin middle-aged man and brought back a few bodies. They got off the boat from the dock. Lu Shang personally picked them up on the carriage, and now he had entered the Sanwei Hall." Seeing the great elder nodding, the elder repeated the story to everyone.

"Who did he catch?" several elders asked nervously.

"This is not clear. Lu Shang ordered the pier to be blocked and no one could get close..." The elder shook his head.

"Why are you reporting such a big thing now?" several elders said angrily.

"This is all the things that happened just now. The man wanted to figure it out and report it again." The elder said helplessly, thinking: "I'm just passing on a message, why are you here for me?"

Several elders stood up one after another, looked at the elder with a serious expression and said, "Lu Shang has been silent for so long, but this time he suddenly made a big move. It must be for us."

The elder changed his robe and let out a deep breath of turbid air and said, "Then let him come over!"

After saying that, he came out of the room surrounded by several elders. When he came to the courtyard, seven or eight elders were waiting there, waiting for the great elders to come out. There were twenty-one elders at the land fence, plus the great elders, and a total of thirteen people present. Eight elders, including the second elders, have already gone to Sanweitang first.

In the Elders' Courtyard, the Great Elder and the Second Elder have always been in a disagreement. In July, the Great Elder used means to make the Elders' Association collectively absent from Lu Xin's celebration banquet without the Second Elder's knowledge. Afterwards, the Second Elder and the Great Elder had a big fight and completely made the conflict public.

The twelve elders present were all considered as one party of the Great Elders, and the seven elders who followed the second elders first were naturally among the second elders. The Great Elders Party had the absolute advantage, so Lu Wen could only call the wind and rain in the elders' courtyard, and even dared to openly challenge the Lord of the Valor.

The Great Elder stood in the field of view on the steps and said to the twelve elders who supported him: "Lu Shang suddenly started a strife. The situation is unclear and there is no better solution. There is only a 'drag' technique to respond to changes in the same way as the constant change."

"We understand." The elders present were already grasshoppers on the same rope, and they had no other way to advance and retreat together.

"No matter what he wants to do later, he can't agree. Let's drag the matter down and discuss it slowly when we come back." The elder nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

The elders surrounded the Great Elder and left the Elder's House. When they walked to the door, the Great Elder whispered to a confidant beside him: "You go to the Accounts Council and ask what happened to Lu Jian." The confidant nodded and ran to the Accounts Council quickly...

The rumbling drums also alarmed many tribe members. Although they were not qualified to enter the house to discuss matters, they still rushed to Sanwei Hall to see what a great thing happened.

Among the family, some are people who eat all day long and do nothing. Watching the fun and nonsense is their daily life. Lu Ren is the most famous representative. He travels around all day long, gambling around in and outside the Beijing, and there is nothing he doesn't know about.

As soon as he saw him coming, the people of the tribe asked one after another: "What's wrong? Lao Thirteenth, tell everyone."

"Of course something big happened." Lu Ren shook his head and said.

"No one can tell what's going on?" The tribe members laughed.

"Then I don't know," Lu Ren said proudly: "We are going to work as a businessman in the Accounting Department now, so how can we have so much time to inquire?"

"Oh, did the three deacons really agree? Congratulations." The tribesmen had known that Lu Ren had stuck to Lu Jian's butt like a candy a while ago, but they didn't expect that he would really get it. They said congratulations on their faces, but cursed in their hearts: "These three deacons are getting more and more nonsense, letting Lu Ren enter the accounting department, not just like putting rats in the dough tank!"

As they were talking, they saw the elders of the Elders' Court surrounded Lu Wen and came to Sanwei Hall. Everyone hurriedly called him to say hello. Lu Wen and others were full of doubts, and they didn't care about greetings, so they went straight into Sanwei Hall.

As soon as Lu Wen entered the Sanwei Hall, he saw Lu Shangzai whispering something to the second elder and others. Among the eight deacons, only Lu Xiu, Lu Yi, Lu Kan and Lu He were present.
