Chapter 226 I'm Really Not His Mother
Chapter 226 I'm Really Not His Mother
Lu Ziqian turned and left. Since his father was willing to endure the humiliation, let him endure it for a while.
The man returned to the small courtyard in the east of the city: "Jiaojiao, can you do me a favor?"
"what?"
"Give me two of those vests you prepared for Jin Mudan last time."
"What do you want that for?"
"Prepare to put on a show for my dad."
"tell me the story."
After listening to Lu Ziqian's plan, Su Yujiao readily agreed: "Okay, I'll take care of the props."
As they were talking, Lu Jingming arrived and went straight to see Zhou without even eating.
I guess he's just too angry over there.
"You go and deploy the plan, and leave the drugging to me."
"Ah."
In the evening, Lu Ziqian came back: "Dad, put this on."
"What's this?"
"The spies reported that a Jin spy had infiltrated the capital, and I'm afraid they're targeting me."
"I've already deployed everything and am just waiting for them to come and catch them all in one fell swoop."
"You can come back and stay with me tonight. Let Mom and Jiaojiao stay here. It's safer."
Lu Jingming's expression immediately turned serious: "Send more people to protect this place."
"Don't worry, I borrowed people from the prince to ensure that this place is safe."
"Even the families of my two sisters-in-law were protected."
"Now we only have the General's Mansion left. We can't deploy too many people to avoid arousing suspicion. So you have to come back with me, otherwise my grandmother and the others will be in danger."
Lu Jingming smiled with relief: "Why are you suddenly concerned about your grandmother, kid?"
Lu Ziqian explained awkwardly: "A family is still a family, no matter how much they quarrel. How can we treat human life as a joke?"
"Good boy, loyal and righteous, just like me!"
"What's the use of this jacket?"
"Invulnerable to swords and guns, would you like to try?"
Lu Jingming didn't believe it. This thin layer could be penetrated with a slight poke. I might be invulnerable to swords and guns.
As a result, it really couldn't be scratched or pierced, which was magical.
"What kind of fabric is this?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Don't ask me, it's just this one thing. Anyway, it's a treasure."
When Lu Jingming heard that there was only one piece, he refused to wear it and insisted that Lu Ziqian wear it.
Lu Ziqian is also a stubborn guy. He insists on competing with his father to see who has better martial arts skills, who has better physical strength, and who needs clothes more?
In the end, it was Lu Jingming who put it on. He knew that he was old and his physical strength could not keep up, so he needed more protection.
The two returned to the Lu family together. Lu Jingming wanted to go to the second house to explain, but was stopped by Lu Ziqian.
"The Second House's behavior will definitely alarm the enemy if they find out."
"I've made all the arrangements. They won't be in danger. We'll try to catch all the thieves tonight."
Lu Jingming nodded. He also knew that if he couldn't catch those golden men tonight, it would be difficult to catch them in the future.
The key is that we can still be prepared tonight. If we are not prepared in the future, won’t our family be in danger?
They can't be on guard every night and every day, so how can they ever stop?
"Row."
"I'm going to get some sleep first, so I can get enough energy for a great night."
Lu Jingming yawned continuously and couldn't help but sigh that he was really old. He just didn't sleep last night, but he was so sleepy today that he couldn't even open his eyelids.
Little did he know that it was Su Yujiao who gave him sleeping pills.
At night, Lu Jingming heard the sound of fighting outside and opened his eyes with difficulty. When he came to his senses, he sat up with a start.
How come he sleeps so soundly?
Bang! The door was knocked open, and Lu Ziqian rushed in with a bloody face: "Dad, hurry up and leave! We've been tricked."
"I don't know what went wrong. The people deployed outside didn't respond. Maybe they met with an accident."
Lu Jingming's first reaction was: "How are your mother and the others?"
"It's okay. I left a signal flare for Jiaojiao. The flare didn't go off. They are safe for now. The secret guards around the prince are not vegetarians."
"what……"
Just then, a scream came from the second room.
"Dad, go and save grandma."
"Be careful."
"Ah."
When Lu Jingming left the house, the yard was in chaos, with dead bodies lying all over the ground.
Lu Jingming's expression became more serious, and he quickly ran to the second room.
He didn't know if it was his illusion or he was really old and useless, but he felt weak all over and was panting after running just a few steps.
Lu Jingming ran to the second house panting, and saw that several men in black had already captured Old Zhu and the people from the second house.
Just as he was about to move forward, someone suddenly attacked him from behind. He turned around and had the knife kicked out of his hand. Then he was kicked again and fell heavily to the ground.
"Tied him up." The other party used the language of the Jin people.
In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Lu family were subdued. Even Lu Ziqian was dragged to the second courtyard with wounds all over his body. The rest were either dead, wounded, tied up, or kneeling.
But the yard was very quiet, no one dared to scream loudly, because whoever screamed would die.
After everyone was subdued, one of them, who seemed to be the leader, said in broken Chinese: "Don't be afraid, we never kill innocent people."
"As long as you cooperate, nothing will happen."
“Those dead people were the ones who didn’t cooperate.”
"Lu Ziqian killed our prince, so today we will only kill members of the Lu family."
"As long as you stand up and identify the Lu family, you will be safe."
"I'll count to three. Anyone willing to identify the person will come forward. Anyone unwilling to identify the person will die with the Lu family."
"one two Three……"
As soon as the man in black counted to three, more than half of the servants raised their hands to indicate their willingness to step forward and identify the person.
"Very good, you are all smart people."
"Tell me, how many people are there in the Lu family?"
"Twenty-seven people in total, young and old. If you count the ones taken away by the divorce, there are thirty-one people."
The man in black pointed to another person and asked him to identify him.
Soon, all the people living in the courtyard of the first and second houses were pointed out.
"where are they?"
The man in black pointed at the butler and others, and after learning that they were all scary people, he had them dragged away and dealt with.
The people in the second room trembled with fear when they heard the screams behind them.
"Lu family, chop them all up and feed them to the dogs."
"Yes."
"You guys come with me to catch the rest."
"Wait, please spare us, we are not from the Lu family." Old Zhu suddenly shouted.
"The evil things they do have nothing to do with us."
"I picked him up, he's not my biological son, I'm not his mother."
"Please, my dear friends, please let our family go."
"If you want to kill them, go ahead. But don't kill us. We are innocent." Old Zhu knelt down and begged for mercy. She was willing to risk her life for the sake of her children and grandchildren.
Lu Jingming looked at Old Zhu in disbelief. His mother could even tell such a lie in order to protect the second wife.
Oh, she really didn't treat him as her son!
Lu Jingming was heartbroken!
"killed."
"Please spare me, my good man. What I said is true."
"He is really not my son, and Lu Ziqian is not my grandson."
