Xilin quickly grabbed Lu Rong who was about to attack him and said, "Stop it, something bad has happened!"
He shook off Lu Rong and climbed onto the roof. He saw countless torches outside, lighting up the entire Lu family's front and back doors. A large crowd of people rushed into the front yard, causing screams and chaos.
Those people were wearing...
"Someone from the Beijing Patrol Camp?"
Xilin's eyes widened. At first he thought that it was Luyang Bo Shicheng who brought people over, but then he heard several shrill screams.
He saw people wielding swords and knives over there, and people falling down one after another in the front yard. Those from the Beijing Patrol Camp rushed straight into the backyard.
Xilin's face turned pale, and he jumped off the roof in a hurry. Just as he stood in the yard, he saw Lu Chongyuan, who had hurried out of the study after hearing the noise.
"What happened? Why is there so much noise outside?"
"Lord, they are from the Beijing Patrol Camp."
Lu Chongyuan also thought that it was Lord Luyang who came. Before he could show any joy on his face, his smile froze on his lips the next moment.
"People from the Beijing Patrol Camp broke into the mansion and killed people. The entire Lu family has been surrounded. Master, something seems to have happened to Marquis Luyang."
Lu Chongyuan's face changed. He vaguely heard the shouting and yelling approaching. When he raised his eyes, he could see the light of the torch.
He knew almost instantly that something might have gone wrong tonight, otherwise the people from the Beijing Patrol Camp would never dare to break into the Lu family and directly attack the people in the mansion.
"Get me out of the house immediately!"
He must not be trapped in the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Xilin stepped forward and took Lu Chongyuan with him and jumped up to leave from the roof. However, as soon as they took off, a cold light suddenly fell directly on Xilin's leg.
He only felt a pain in his legs and wrists, and his body, which had originally soared into the air, fell straight down.
He only had time to turn over and protect Lu Chongyuan before the two of them fell to the ground with a bang.
Xilin's internal organs seemed to be displaced, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Although Lu Chongyuan had someone take the impact, he still rolled on the ground in a mess after landing.
Xiao Yan threw the bow and arrow in his hand to Xiao Wei beside him "Where are you going, Lu Langling?"
Lu Chongyuan looked up at the person in front of the door and his face turned pale: "Xiao Yan?!"
Xiao Yan walked up to Lu Chongyuan and said, "Master Lu, do you seem very surprised to see me?"
“You…you are not…”
There was shock in Lu Chongyuan's eyes. Shouldn't he be in the South? Ever since he noticed that Xiao Yan was not in the capital, he had already written a letter to ask Lu Jiu’an to bring people to hunt them down. Even if he couldn't keep Xiao Yan, he would definitely stop him from returning to the capital. How could he come back so soon? How could he be in the capital?
"you……"
ah--
Xiao Yan stepped on Lu Chongyuan's arm, and as he screamed, a sound like a broken bone was heard.
"Xiao Yan!! How dare you hurt my Master?!" Xilin screamed, "My Master is an important official of the court, how dare you resort to lynching..."
"Lynching?"
Xiao Yan's eyes were cold and stern. "The Lu family colluded with Prince Cheng and forced Guan to death to cover up their rebellion and plans to deceive the emperor. Tonight, they burned Fengxi Palace and tried to assassinate Your Majesty, causing chaos in the capital. They bribed my subordinates to break into the mansion and murder me."
"If the Governor wanted to resort to lynching, he would have been dead by now."
Xiao Yan raised his foot to release Lu Chongyuan's arm, leaned over and whispered to the screaming Lu Chongyuan: "If anyone dares to hurt me, Lu Chongyuan, I will retaliate."
He raised his leg and kicked the man over, bumping into Xilin who had been shouting just now.
Xiao Yan said loudly, "Come here, throw them into the room for me, and nail the door shut. Do not let him leave the room without your Majesty's order."
Jin Yun, who came with Xiao Yan, led the Xiao Guards* forward, grabbed Lu Chongyuan and the other two and threw them into the room.
Before the door closed, Lu Chongyuan screamed in agony:
"Xiao Yan, you have no right to imprison me. I am an official appointed by the late emperor. The Lu family has been in power for generations. No one can touch me without the emperor's personal order..."
"Really? Then I'd like to see what happens if I touch you."
Xiao Yan sneered and said to the back: "Everyone in the Lu family must be under guard. Don't let even a fly escape. Before the matter is investigated tonight, if anyone in the Lu family dares to force their way out of the house, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Xiao Yan, how dare you!"
"Xiao Yan, you eunuch, let me out!"
"Marquis Wenxin... Zhou Tianzhuo, I know you are here. Are you crazy if Xiao Yan is so unscrupulous? Are you just going to watch Xiao Yan and the people of the Beijing Patrol Camp do whatever they want?"
"Let me out, or I will sue you for colluding with that eunuch Xiao Yan, Zhou Tianzhuo, do you hear me?!"
Lu Chongyuan no longer had the calmness of the former head of the Lu family, and was trapped in the room, screaming loudly.
Seeing that no one outside paid any attention, Xiao Yan turned around and walked out. He rushed to the door and shouted in the direction of the courtyard:
"Xiao Yan, don't think that I don't know what you did after you returned to Beijing. You only left Beijing to go to the South..."
Bang!
Jinyun raised the long sword in his hand suddenly and brought it down hard on Lu Chongyuan's mouth, and the shout in his mouth was instantly cut off.
"Lu Langling still wants to slander my Lord Governor at this time. If you don't want to do that anymore, I can help you."
A faint voice came, and Jinyun looked at him coldly.
Lu Chongyuan felt such a heart-wrenching pain in his mouth that blood came out of his teeth. Seeing the guards standing in front of the door looking at them fiercely, Lu Chongyuan couldn't help but take a step back.
"You'd better stay here and wait for His Majesty to punish you after the truth of tonight's incident is revealed."
Jinyun stepped back and slammed the door shut.
The lights in the room flickered dimly, and Lu Chongyuan sat on the ground in embarrassment, with only one thought left in his mind.
It's over.
…
Although it was the people from the Beijing Patrol Camp who surrounded the Lu family, the ones who made the decisions were the dozens of guards brought by Xiao Yan.
Lu Chongyuan's yard was surrounded by people, and even the people from the Beijing Patrol Camp were not allowed to approach. When Xiao Yan walked outside the yard, he saw Wen Xinhou standing there with a complicated expression.
"You have already arrested Lu Chongyuan before His Majesty has issued an order. If he comes out in the future, he will definitely not let you go."
"That depends on him being able to come out."
When Marquis Wenxin heard Xiao Yan's words, he was shocked. Is Xiao Yan going to kill Lu Chongyuan?
He suddenly remembered Lu Chongyuan's hoarse words just now. He said Xiao Yan shouldn't be in the capital. He said he went to the south...
There was a sudden fire in the palace tonight, and the capital was in strange chaos. There were also those assassins who broke into Jiyun Lane, and the strange behavior of the Earl of Luyang.
Wen Xinhou whispered, "Are you sure Lu Chongyuan can't get out?"
Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Once we enter the palace, the Marquis will know."
He glanced at the people from the Beijing Patrol Camp guarding outside the Lu family:
"Please ask your men to guard the Lu family for me first. I will bring people to take over this place later. You don't have to worry. If there are any problems with the Lu family, I will take full responsibility and will never implicate you."
Seeing Jin Yun coming out from the inner room, Xiao Yan said to him, "Keep an eye on Lu Chongyuan. This Governor and Marquis Wenxin will go into the palace first."
Jinyun nodded quickly: "I will look after the Lu family, but Lord Governor, a man was arrested in Lu Chongyuan's yard just now. He seems to be a close confidant of Lu Zhao. He said he has something important to report to you, Lord Governor, and it is related to the Lu family."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow: "Lu Zhao's confidant?"
"Yes, he said he could help the governor deal with the Lu family, but he only asked the governor to find a doctor to treat Lu's Wulang first, as he had a high fever."
The fifth son of the Lu family?
Xiao Yan knew that Lu Zhao had a younger son who seemed to be the fifth child in the mansion. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can make the arrangements. As for that person, you can first interrogate him and see what he says. If it is urgent, send someone to tell me in the palace."
"yes."
Wen Xinhou stood aside with a gleam in his eyes. Xiao Yan never did anything without confidence. He dared to break off relations with the Lu family. The Lu family was probably finished this time. Moreover, Lu Zhao's close associates turned against him, and they might reveal some secrets. What about Lu Chongyuan...
He turned around and told the people from the Beijing Patrol Camp, "You take your people and stay here, and follow the orders of Governor Xiao's people. After they come to take over the Lu family, take your people back to the camp first."
"Yes, sir."

Xilin quickly grabbed Lu Rong who was about to attack him and said, "Stop it, something bad has happened!"
He shook off Lu Rong and climbed onto the roof. He saw countless torches outside, lighting up the entire Lu family's front and back doors. A large crowd of people rushed into the front yard, causing screams and chaos.
