Turbulent Times Chapter 922: The ‘devil’ deep in my heart

"You don't need to be surprised, it's not difficult to guess, there are only two people in the world who can be sent by Lu Shi to travel thousands of miles, one is His Majesty the current Emperor, and the other is someone who may become His Majesty the Emperor in the future." Wang Junlin said lightly.

Lu Youwei thought the same, his face returned to calm, but he sighed and said, "Don't you believe in the sincerity of our Lu family?"

"Why do you want me to trust your Lu family?" Wang Junlin said sarcastically, "When I first came to Fanyang County, I was surrounded and killed by a thousand cavalry outside Gu'an County. Watching from the top of the city. And now you have two carts of silver, the land deed of a thousand acres of fertile land, and 10% of the shares of that salt company, so you want me to believe in the sincerity of your Lu family. If I, Wang Junlin, are like this It's easy to talk, Guan Longyu's family will not be buried in my hands, Qiu Fu, Yang Liang, Gao Ying and others will not die in my hands. Yang Su used to have power, and I killed two grandchildren , In the end, you were forced by me to dare not live, and now you come to bribe me with such a little thing, do you, Mrs. Lu, want to provoke me?"

Lu Youwei did not expect that Wang Junlin would be so powerful that he would directly threaten them. Lu Shi was still discussing how to threaten Wang Junlin. But thinking about it carefully, what can they do to Wang Junlin?

Since Wang Junlin came to Fanyang County, he supported Cui Shijie to become the county magistrate in Gu'an County. Their control over Gu'an County has been greatly reduced, let alone Changxiang County. Lu Jiandong, a direct descendant of their Lu family, was killed Not to mention, their Lu family has completely lost their hands in Changxiang County.

As soon as this happens, they have lost control of the eight counties of Fanyang County, and Wang Junlin did nothing, forcing them to cut off their own arms, and took the initiative to ask Dou Shihai to bring 20,000 sailors. The five thousand pirates on Snake Island sent people to exterminate them.

In short, there are various indications that they, the Lu family, are already in a passive situation. It is clear that their power in Fanyang County far surpasses Wang Junlin, but facing Wang Junlin, they just feel that they have no way to attack.

Of course, there is such a factor as 'barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes'. Lu's stall is too big. After a thousand cavalry failed to surround and kill Wang Junlin, they were awed by Wang Junlin's power and reputation. , and the crazy revenge that may appear, he dare not act rashly.

Wang Junlin did not have any scruples in doing things in Fanyang County. The only thing that could make Wang Junlin scruples was the chaos in Fanyang County. The people gave birth to chaos.

Thoughts turned in his mind, and Lu Youwei realized that what Wang Junlin said was not wrong. They Lu family really did not want to anger Wang Junlin. , might as well bring it up, as long as we can live in peace with our Lu family, we will try our best to cooperate."

Wang Junlin looked at Lu Youwei deeply, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see the depths of Lu Youwei's heart, and after a while, he said, "Second Lord Lu, do you know why His Majesty allowed Hongnong Yang The clan continues to exist, and Yang Xuangan and other Yang clan's children can continue to be officials in the court?"

Lu Youwei was slightly taken aback, his heartbeat started to speed up in an instant, but he took a deep breath, calmed down the speculation in his heart, and said bravely, "I don't know, please enlighten me."

Wang Junlin looked at Lu Youwei sarcastically, and said, "Second Lord Lu dare not speak out, so let me speak out for you! The Hongnong Yang family can continue to exist because His Majesty believes that as long as Yang Su has died, and His Majesty is not afraid of Yang Xuangan, let alone worried about anything."

Lu Youwei pretended not to understand the deep meaning of Wang Junlin's words, and asked, "What does this have to do with our Lu family?"

Wang Junlin sneered, and said: "Your father is a great Confucian in the world, and he won the hearts of the people in Fanyang County. Quite a few, but such a person is not very loyal to His Majesty, how could His Majesty let him continue to live?"

Lu Youwei suppressed the inexplicable agitation in his heart, lowered his head and said: "My father has never had the intention of treason."

Wang Junlin was too lazy to guess Lu Youwei's mental state at this time, and said: "Your Majesty believes that you will not rebel, because you have no conditions for rebellion, but you will not believe your father."

Lu Youwei's expression remained unchanged, but a violent storm was set off in his heart. Of course he understood what Wang Junlin meant, but although he always wanted to become the suzerain of the Lu family, even dreamed about it, and worked hard for this goal for many years , but he never thought of killing his father.

These few words of Wang Junlin undoubtedly gave his own conditions, and at the same time tore away the 'devil' deep in his heart that would never have appeared, but this 'devil' is still very young, so young that Not enough to sway the thoughts in his mind.

Until this time, Lu Youwei discovered that the legendary peerless murderer before Ming Dynasty, his most powerful is not poison and martial arts, but the control and understanding of people's hearts. He was actually so cautious and insidious in his bones, facing such a big temptation given by himself, he was not moved and said nothing, and in turn broke his own defenses.

It was only at this time that Lu Youwei discovered that what Wang Junlin wanted was far more than what the Lu family could give. In the future, it will be a domineering and arrogant attitude to cooperate with him to govern in Fanyang County, wanting to directly control their Lu family in their hearts.

If he was persuaded by Wang Junlin, he believed that it would not be difficult for his father to die of illness under the cooperation between him and Wang Junlin. Now, he will naturally become the suzerain of the Lu family, but from now on, he will also be held in the palm of Wang Junlin's hands.

Lu Youwei lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Junlin, and kept silent for a long time. Wang Junlin tilted his head slightly, squinted at Lu Youwei who seemed to be still calm, and kept wondering Youwei said to the darkest thought deep in his heart at this time: "What I said just now, Second Master Lu might as well go back and think about it carefully. Become the Lord of the Lu family."

After finishing speaking, Wang Junlin didn't wait for Lu Youwei to say anything, and directly shouted: "Come, see off."

Lu Youwei suppressed the inexplicable agitation in his heart, bowed to Wang Junlin, turned and left without saying anything.

Wang Junlin watched Lu Youwei's back gradually disappear, squinted his eyes and pondered, thinking that no matter any powerful country or family, what really makes them perish comes from internal crises.
