Chapter 126: Lu Family Pharmacy, A Warning to Others!
Chapter 126: Lu Family Pharmacy, A Warning to Others!
Qingyun County town!
He Yan, who was beside him, also discovered the key to this matter at this moment.
It seemed this person was indeed... from Qingyun County town.
For this reason, this high-ranking envoy had also sent Qian Hao and Li Daren to be stationed in Qingyun County town.
Moreover, he had unprecedentedly entrusted them with a black mysterious bird.
Such actions made it obvious, even to a fool.
The Lu Family Pharmacy was absolutely deeply connected with Mr. Lu.
Lu Xuan’s face turned cold, and both He Yan and Su An could feel a faint sense of pressure.
"What have those people discovered?"
Su An meticulously replied to Lu Xuan.
"In this regard, I don’t know, Sir."
After Su An finished speaking, Lu Xuan didn’t say another word, his eyes deepened, seemingly contemplating something.
Due to Lu Xuan’s interjection, Deputy He also stopped in his tracks, showing no intention of leaving.
Moments later, Lu Xuan slowly began to speak.
"Deputy He, secretly capture those people with Su An and bring them to me."
"I need to see them today."
Investigating the cause of Huang Yangping’s death?
Lu Xuan wanted to see what they had found out.
If it was detrimental to his family, then they couldn’t blame him.
Anyone who dared to target the Lu Family Pharmacy, not to mention a small deputy magistrate.
Even if it were the emperor himself, Lu Xuan wouldn’t let it go.
"Yes, Sir!"
"We accept the order!"
Deputy He and Su An agreed without hesitation after hearing Lu Xuan’s decision.
Before leaving, Deputy He reminded Lu Xuan about the matters in Lanshan County.
"Sir, regarding the bloodthirsty corpses in Lanshan County, should someone else be sent?"
Lu Xuan glanced outside the door, then spoke calmly.
"No need, it’s still early, it won’t take much time."
Based on his own estimate, he was confident he could reach Lanshan County town before nightfall.
White Dao Prefecture city!
Luo Mansion!
Inside the mansion, in a large room, a middle-aged man in his forties sat, with an old man with white hair standing in front of him.
"Master, I’ve secretly contacted the people at Yanyu Building, they’re asking for three thousand taels of silver!"
The middle-aged man paused the teacup at his lips upon hearing this, then placed it on the table beside him.
"Three thousand taels, how dare they be so greedy."
"Hmph, if I didn’t want to keep this matter under wraps, they wouldn’t have the chance to step in."
And this middle-aged man was the Deputy Magistrate of White Dao Prefecture, Luo Jinghe.
"Never mind, give it to them."
"I want the people of White Dao Prefecture to know that my people, Luo Jinghe’s people, are not to be trifled with."
"Qingyun County town’s Lu Family Pharmacy will be the sacrificial pawn."
Yesterday, after the people Luo Jinghe sent to Qingyun County town to investigate Huang Yangping’s cause of death returned.
They were completely unable to uncover the truth.
However, they didn’t give up and shifted their approach, starting with the forces that had grievances with Huang Yangping.
It turned out that the forces that had grudges with Huang Yangping were as numerous as the sands in the desert.
Almost covering the entire Qingyun County town!
Even with Luo Jinghe’s arrogance, he couldn’t possibly target the entire town.
So, Luo Jinghe arbitrarily chose a relatively suitable force.
And the Lu Family Pharmacy was the best choice to establish authority.
This Lu Family Pharmacy, though influential, didn’t boast much strength.
So, eliminating the Lu Family Pharmacy was an easy task.
Of course, to Luo Jinghe, these matters were just trivial as sesame seeds.
Once Luo Jinghe made up his mind, he raised his hand with interest, signaling the person before him to leave.
"Alright, you may leave."
"Also, prepare the carriage, I’ll be heading to the government office soon."
"Yes, Master!"
Once only Luo Jinghe was left in the room, his face gradually turned sullen.
"Duma, the useless, a waste of my efforts!"
Duma, as Luo Jinghe said, was the County Magistrate of Fenglin County.
He was the same Fenglin County Magistrate who died a few days ago due to two fox demons.
Duma’s position as Fenglin County Magistrate was obtained by Luo Jinghe with great effort from Prefect Hong Zhi.
In the end, this useless Duma served less than a year as Fenglin County Magistrate before dying.
Thinking about the price he paid to secure the Fenglin County Magistrate position, Luo Jinghe’s heart bled.
And his upcoming visit to the government office was due to Prefect Hong Zhi summoning them.
To jointly discuss the candidates for Fenglin County Magistrate, County Attendant, and County Captain positions.
"Damned!"
If Duma hadn’t died at the hands of two demon foxes, Luo Jinghe would have suspected someone was conspiring against him.
Baihua Building!
The largest entertainment venue in White Dao Prefecture city, also one of its biggest money spinners.
At this moment, five men sat in a luxurious private room in Baihua Building, their faces beaming with laughter.
Each man had a beautiful woman by his side.
"Brother Yong, we brothers owe today’s indulgence at Baihua Building to your wisdom and bravery."
"Who would have thought, going to that place in Qingyun County town, we’d manage to score some unexpected gains thanks to the master’s reputation!"
"Hehehe!"
"Especially those women from small town forces, we even had fun with them in person."
"In the end, those fools didn’t even dare to make a sound."
This comment made the men in the room more arrogant, their wicked laughter made the women beside them shudder.
The person seated at the head was a man who appeared to be around forty years old, the head of the guards at the Luo Mansion, Wu Yong.
"Hmm, those fools don’t dare resist us upon hearing the master’s name."
"However, some people have no sense and dare ignore us."
Wu Yong recalled the day when he was humiliated by the Lu Family Pharmacy.
Originally, seeing that the Lu Family Pharmacy was well-off, he intended to extort them but was driven out.
As a Martial Artist of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, how could he allow such humiliation from a small place?
When he attempted to target the Lu Family Pharmacy.
The County Magistrate and Constable of Qingyun County appeared and taught them a lesson.
If not for their fear of the master’s identity, they might have already been dead in Qingyun County town.
"Brother Yong, don’t worry, the master won’t let that Lu Family Pharmacy go."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yong’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, showing a satisfied smile.
"This is the consequence of daring to oppose us."
