It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 127 You protect them, but who protects you?
On the carriage on the way home, Li Qingluan was shaking with anger.

Jin Meijing and Zhao Qiaoer sat next to Li Qingluan, each holding one of Li Qingluan's arms.

"The most urgent thing now is to go to the Imperial City and find out who that Lord Liu is.

Is our mother still trapped in this Liu family's house? If so, we must find a way to rescue her as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan, who was sitting opposite, analyzed the situation seriously and calmly.

At this time, Zhao Qiaoer on the side immediately said:
“It’s easy to find out who this Liu is.

The important thing is how to rescue my sister's mother from this Liu family's house."

This one does.

It is not difficult to see from the attitude of the imperial envoy just now.

This reality is very different from the law.

At least that's the case at the top levels.

The people here are very cautious about matters concerning the demon clan.

Especially in the areas outside the Great Wall, there are often county magistrates who are dismissed for not handling the relationship between the monsters and humans well.

For example, those yamen runners who were reported to have treated the demon tribe roughly would be dismissed from their positions once the facts were uncovered.

Generally speaking, such things are paid attention to by those above them, but not by those below them.

But this is exactly the opposite.

The thing is that the higher-ups don't care about the demon race at all.

Although it is very strange, at least two years ago the imperial court issued the latest decree against the demon clan and the half-demon clan.

Logically speaking, the affairs of the demon race should be of great concern here.

But now it seems that it is the officials below who are doing their duties conscientiously, while those above do not care at all.

Is the wind direction changing?
Or was it because the demon tribe did something during this period that caused the imperial court to dislike them?
Or what's going on?

Although I have no idea why this happened, what if I want to resolve this matter by filing a complaint to the emperor or doing something else?

Then this is definitely not going to work.

Whether it is this imperial envoy or the one with the surname Liu.

They all dared to take out the jade pendant containing the demon king's blood and openly display it to the public.

This shows that they are not afraid of any divine laws at all.

In fact, even the emperor knew about this.

After all, these people often come and go in front of the emperor, and the emperor is a cultivator.

How could he not know?
If the emperor knows about this matter and still doesn't do anything, then it would be useless to file a complaint.

Then this can only be done through private connections.

Then the question is, what kind of relationship can we find in private?

Although there is only Shanhaiguan between the outside and the inside of the Great Wall, with just this one pass, the inside and the outside of the Great Wall are two completely different worlds.

Why not try asking Yu Zhenqing for help?
But on second thought, this is impossible.

Why?

Back then, Lu Yuan’s father-in-law was killed by Yu Zhenqing’s grandfather.

It was because of this incident that Lu Yuan's mother-in-law went to the imperial city to file a complaint.

How could Yu Zhenqing's grandfather help with this matter now?

So what should we do about this matter?

Speaking of it, this matter is really a bit troublesome, especially since it can't wait.

It would have been fine if you didn't know that Lu Yuan's mother-in-law was locked up and used as a blood slave before this.

I don’t know, so naturally I’m not in a hurry.

But now everyone knows everything, and knowing that every day my mother-in-law is imprisoned means she will suffer one more day.

It's difficult to keep people from being anxious or calm.

"Yuan'er, there's no rush for this matter. We still need to think of a solution first."

The one who was speaking was Aunt Qingluan.

At this time, Aunt Qingluan looked at Lu Yuan and said seriously.

Li Qingluan's head was buzzing since he learned that his mother was locked up and used as a blood slave.

But now that I have calmed down and thought about this matter, I must take a long-term view.

Speaking of which, Li Qingluan was still very grateful for Lu Yuan's direct confrontation just now.

It cannot be said to be gratitude, but to be more precise, it should be touching and gratified.

Because before this incident, Lu Yuan had talked about the benefits of cooperating with imperial power many times at home.

Listen to Lu Yuan’s analysis of the imperial envoy.

Both Li Qingluan and Zhao Qiaoer agreed after listening.

Otherwise, the two of them would not agree.

The reason why she agreed to this matter was naturally because Lu Yuan was her husband.

But it was also because what Lu Yuan said made sense.

Lu Yuan really made a lot of preparations for this matter.

Especially considering the current prestige of Yanxiang Club outside the Great Wall, the newly established special forces, and the factory's plans to sell products inside the Great Wall in the future.

Wait, Lu Yuan explained all these things to Li Qingluan and Zhao Qiaoer in detail.

It was precisely for this reason that Li Qingluan and Zhao Qiaoer nodded in agreement.

After all, the two women are not the kind of brainless people who would immediately nod and agree without thinking when they hear what Lu Yuan says.

Well...of course.

Zhao Qiaoer has great potential for this.

Now, Zhao Qiaoer would basically nod and agree to whatever Lu Yuan said without even thinking.

There is already some potential for being big-breasted and no-brained.

But Li Qingluan is not like that.

Li Qingluan had carefully considered what Lu Yuan said at the beginning.

Li Qingluan also understood how much effort Lu Yuan had put into this matter.

And because of this incident, Lu Yuan overturned all these things without hesitation.

Lu Yuan did not have any hesitation on this matter.

It would be a lie for Li Qingluan to say that she was not touched by this.

But to be honest, the reason why she was willing to marry Lu Yuan seemed to be because she was attracted to Lu Yuan like this.

"We still have to find He Mei and the others."

Lu Yuan didn't know what Li Qingluan was thinking, but after thinking about the matter again, he suddenly said.

This matter is no longer certain.

Regardless of whether we choose not to cooperate with the imperial envoy or whether Lu Yuan’s large factory is built in the future, the goods produced will be difficult to enter the interior.

The original plan for this matter.

Lu Yuan really had a very good plan.

Lu Yuan agreed to cooperate with the imperial envoy not entirely because of Gao Mingna.

Of course, this is one of the reasons, but it’s not all.

The most important thing is that Lu Yuan thinks that he will have such a relationship with the imperial power in the future.

Then the goods produced by the factories can be easily exported to the interior.

Now it’s a bit troublesome, but there is still a way.

For example, in the future the factory’s products can be sold to the interior of the country without going through the Yanxiang Society’s route.

Yanxianghui can act as the original manufacturer, and then use the following guilds as distributors.

Follow their path and let them sell Yanxianghui’s products to the interior.

This is also why Lu Yuan mentioned the issue of eating just now.

That's not just saying that you won't have food to eat if you follow the imperial envoy.

It also means that you will have enough food to eat if you follow Yanxiang.

Then how can I get enough food by following Yanxiang?

What Lu Yuan wanted was to let other guilds sell the products of his factory.

First of all, the disadvantages of doing this are obvious.

That means Yanxiang will earn much less.

From now on, Yanxiang Club will no longer be the only one dominating the market.

After all, Lu Yuan had thought that Yanxiang would rely on the factory and her countless products to sweep the country.

Let Yanxiang become the biggest and most powerful one.

But now there is no other way, we have to make concessions.

But the benefits of this are also obvious.

That is, within a very short period of time, all the guilds outside the customs will gather around the Yanxiang Club.

This is a huge alliance, and Yanxiang Club is the leader.

Now all the guilds and the Yanxiang Club are communities of interests.

Since everyone shares a community of interests, naturally everyone will be determined to follow the Yanxiang Society to fight against the imperial court.

So when Lu Yuan slammed the table and stood up, he had already thought of this step.

Otherwise, if you don't have any trump card at all and force yourself to get angry, wouldn't that just be impotent rage?
It was precisely because Lu Yuan had thought of all of this that he just slammed the table and left.

Now, there is no turning back on this matter.

Even if Gao Mingna knew what happened today, she would come back to discuss it with Lu Yuan.

Or in other words, to mediate between the two.

But it's no use.

No matter what is said, Yanxiang Society will not help the imperial envoy.

So now both sides are already using force.

If you're going to force it, then force it thoroughly.

Lu Yuan's mother-in-law could not be saved by normal means.

Well, since normal means don't work, let's use covert means.

What means?

Li Hemei and her team went straight to the rescue.

Find the residence of Lord Liu and find out which room Lu Yuan's mother-in-law is locked up in.

Direct forced rescue.

This is also the only way to rescue Lu Yuan's mother-in-law as quickly as possible.

Don't say that there is no normal way now.

Even if there is a way to do it through normal channels, it will probably take a long time.

After all, you have to find someone first or file a complaint with the emperor, or negotiate privately.

None of these methods are as fast as rescuing people directly and privately.

……

When Lu Yuan and his group returned to Zhao Mansion.

The entrance of the Zhao residence was already crowded with people.

Don’t think that the guild leaders only came out later.

But these people are very anxious.

After all, the order in which these things come is roughly equivalent to the degree of loyalty.

Who knows if Lu Yuan will give me meat because I come early, and only give me soup because I come late?

So after coming out of Yushizhai, the presidents of these guilds all came in at full speed.

The first one in Lu Yuan's family who came out of Yushizhai arrived at Zhao's house before him.

However, the guards of the Zhao Mansion had not heard that anyone was going to do anything today, so they did not dare to let these people in.

So they simply blocked all of them at the door.

However, these presidents did not make any noise or quarrel, but simply lined up in front of the gate of Zhao's house.

Of course, the queue order is first come first served.

After waiting for Lu Yuan and his group's carriage to return.

As soon as Lu Yuan and his family got out of the carriage, they heard the presidents shouting.

President Lu, President Lu, I am the first one to come~
Madam, Madam, I am the second one to come.
Lu Yuan didn't serve these people. He just said hello and went straight to the yard where Li Hemei and her group were after getting off the car.

Just leave these people's words to your two wives.

Regarding how the products produced in the factory will be distributed in the future.

On the way back, Lu Yuan had already explained everything to his two wives.

Let my two daughters-in-law talk to me.

Lu Yuan led Jin Meijing straight to the big yard.

Lu Yuan thought about this matter and felt that it was very difficult.

We are going to the imperial city, to the dangerous and dangerous place.

In the imperial city, there are the East Factory, West Factory, and Harbin Pharmaceutical Factory No. 6.

There are so many of them, such as the Qingcang Guard, the Qianggou Guard, the Jinyi Guard, etc.

He wanted to invade the residence of a red-robed official in the imperial city, in front of so many spies.

We also have to rescue the people from this mansion, but rescuing them is not enough, we have to bring them from the imperial city to outside the pass.

It is eight or nine hundred miles from the imperial city to Taining City.

Of course.

There is no need to go to Taining City.

Just arrive at Shanhaiguan.

After passing Shanhaiguan, you will reach the outside of the pass.

By then it will be safe.

But even from the imperial city to Shanhaiguan is more than three hundred miles.

How do I get back from these three hundred miles?

This is ancient times.

If it were now, it would be easy. It would only take about two hours to reach the destination in just over three hundred miles on the highway.

But it's more than 300 miles here, so it will take you at least two days and one night.

During this period, you must avoid being tracked and intercepted by spies from the imperial city.

Especially if this was just an ordinary ancient thing, it would be fine.

Ordinary ancient times were fine.

But this is the ancient time of a strange world.

The spies have all kinds of magical methods and tricks to track people.

Therefore, it is definitely not enough for Li Hemei to lead the team alone.

Jin Meijing must also go for this matter.

……

In the courtyard.

Compared to the noisy gate of the Zhao Mansion.

There are only bursts of reading sounds here.

Lu Yuan and Jin Meijing stood outside the window, quietly looking at Li Hemei and the other seven people in the room.

All seven of them were reading and writing seriously.

Of course, the seven people naturally discovered Lu Yuan and Jin Meijing.

To be precise, as soon as the two men entered the compound, the seven people knew that Lu Yuan was coming.

The cats and dogs couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to come find Lu Yuan.

But this gentleman is a very powerful man.

Think about it, if you don’t listen carefully, you will be slapped on the hand.

Thinking of the burning palms, I had no choice but to listen carefully even though there were cats and dogs around.

But she still looked out the window at Lu Yuan from time to time in her seat with a sweet smile on her face.

"I heard everything Gao Mingna said to you in the yard on the first day she came home."

Jin Meijing took Lu Yuan's arm, leaned against him, and spoke softly.

Oh?
Lu Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, then recalled confidently.

Ok……

Although Jin Meijing was sent by Lu Yuan to check the environment around Liangshan that day, she left behind a psychic fake body to observe secretly before leaving.

Of course I heard it too.

But what did I say to Gao Mingna that day?

It takes a while, so I need to think about this.

But before Lu Yuan could think about it, Jin Meijing said seriously:

“She said you’re the same people, but you’re not.

Her reluctance is different from your reluctance.

I still say that some people are born this way, and this is what we are supposed to do.

Don't worry, I will protect the seven of them well and will make sure they all come back safely. "

Listening to Jin Meijing's words, Lu Yuan turned his head slightly and looked at Jin Meijing and said:

"You protect them, but who protects you?

Am I just worried about them and not you?"
