#392 - Put down the burden
Although he had already guessed, Lu Jing was still a little surprised when he heard the answer.
When he agreed to Han Shan Ke's request, he really didn't expect that this matter would eventually involve the current emperor of the Chen Dynasty, but this explained a lot of things.
More than three million taels of silver was not a small sum, but it wasn't worth the century-old reputation of the Taiping Qianzhuang, one of the four major money houses, to ruin its own brand.
But if this was at the behest of the man on the dragon throne, then the previous behavior of the Taiping Qianzhuang would be much more reasonable.
And the eunuchs who fought with him just now, all of them in the second-rate realm, and all of them practicing extremely profound internal skills, if they were not under the command of that person, but came from a certain palace, then their existence in the capital would be a bit too conspicuous.
In this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lu Jing's mind, but what made him most curious was Han Shan Ke's identity.
This paper man, who possessed the terrifying wealth that everyone in the world envied, but was willing to live in Mirror Lake Valley for decades, taking the heaven and earth as his seat, eating the wind and drinking the dew, and wholeheartedly wanting to refine the elixir of immortality, what was his background, that he could attract the current emperor to fish for law enforcement?
And why did Princess Fu'an, who was rumored to be always filial and gentle, suddenly become rebellious this time, and want to go against her father, and let Qin Lan risk saving him?
After all, judging from her age, she was about the same as Lu Jing. When Han Shan Ke entered the academy, she should not have been born yet, and there should be no friendship between the two.
Lu Jing thought to himself as he looked at Princess Fu'an opposite him, only to see that the latter was also frowning slightly, seemingly troubled by something, with a look of uncertainty.
However, before Princess Fu'an could make a final decision, she heard Lu Jing say again, "If this matter involves any royal secrets, then it's best not to tell me."
Princess Fu'an was stunned, "You don't want to know why those people attacked you?"
"I do." Lu Jing nodded and said, "I came here with Qing Nvxia to understand this question, but at that time I didn't know that this matter would involve your family, so now I've changed my mind. You also know that the more you know about your family's affairs, the more trouble and the bigger the trouble."
"But as you said before, you are already in the game." Princess Fu'an reminded him.
She felt that she was increasingly unable to understand the young man in front of her. Lu Jing had previously slaughtered all sides on the river, shocking the heroes. Princess Fu'an thought he was the kind of peerless hero who was full of courage and not afraid of difficulties.
But she didn't expect that when Lu Jing returned to the house, he turned into a salted fish.
With a lazy look that said, 'This matter is not my business, don't tell me, I don't listen, I don't listen,' he was completely different from the him outside the house.
However, Princess Fu'an paused and said solemnly, "This matter concerns the life and death of Mr. Nanzhai."
However, Lu Jing also shook his head, "I also told you, he and I are just ordinary friends. I came here this time just to help him deal with the Taiping Qianzhuang's affairs. As for the others, I'm sorry, that's not within our agreement. Besides, you don't have to worry about him. That guy is very safe. Maybe we're all dead and he's still living well."
"As for me," Lu Jing added, "Please, Princess, give a message to the person on the dragon throne, tell him that this matter is a misunderstanding. I have no interest in interfering in your family's grievances and feuds. He'd better not come looking for trouble with me again."
At this time, the Tianlongmen gang members downstairs had also dispersed one after another, but before leaving, something unexpected happened to everyone.
The eunuch who punched Li Feilong to death before was actually beheaded by a Tianlongmen member.
The Jingziwei eunuchs were usually arrogant and domineering, and they had never encountered such a thing before. Seeing their companion being killed, the remaining eunuchs were so angry that their lungs were about to explode, and they all began to curse, and they threatened to raze the Tianlongmen to the ground.
However, they had just fought a battle with Lu Jing, and now they all looked like they had been drained, and they could only talk but not act.
So the Tianlongmen gang members simply did it, and rushed up and killed them all cleanly.
When Lu Jing said goodbye and went downstairs, those people had all run far away, leaving only a bloody mess on the river.
In fact, not all of these people were single-mindedly trying to avenge Li Feilong because they were grateful to Li Feilong. Some of them still held a speculative mentality. After all, the death of the leader of any gang is a top priority.
After that, there will inevitably be a wave of political struggle and reshuffling within the gang. In this reshuffle, some people will lose the power in their hands, and some people will take the opportunity to rise.
In addition to choosing the right team to win over supporters, accumulating chips in hand is also very important, and the most important chip among them is to avenge the former leader Li Feilong.
The Jianghu is a place that always pays attention to revenge for revenge and gratitude for gratitude. The murder of the gang leader is a deep blood feud no matter where it is placed. Whoever can avenge Li Feilong, even if he cannot become the next leader of the Tianlongmen, he will definitely be able to seize enough benefits in the subsequent turmoil.
This is also the reason why these Tianlongmen gang members must kill the Jingziwei eunuch, after all, Lu Jing has proved that no one can afford to provoke him.
Of course, the Tianlongmen gang would not think that their lives were too long, and put this debt on Lu Jing's head.
In addition, under the eyes of everyone, Li Feilong was indeed killed by the Jingziwei eunuch's punch, so these people finally chose to avenge themselves on the eunuchs with tacit understanding.
