My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 162 Wang Fu Incident
October of the second year of Guanghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty passed by in this way.

Beneath the apparent prosperity of the Eastern Han Dynasty, countless undercurrents were surging.

The Xianbei people outside are ready to make a move.

The party and government are also rampant.

Luoyang, the eastern capital.

It borders Luo River to the north and Hulao Pass to the east.

It is the most magnificent, richest and most prosperous city in the world today.

However, the most prosperous area in Luoyang city was occupied by the eunuch Wang Fu.

As a close attendant of the emperor, Wang Fu was not only extremely prominent himself, but also all those in his family who had a slight connection with him were given titles and official positions, and his cliques were spread all over the world.

This place is close to the imperial palace, and ordinary people would get into serious lawsuits even if they just stopped here, let alone cause trouble.

Therefore, it has always been peaceful and tranquil.

But nothing lasts forever. Wang Fu's prosperity has come to an end today.

"Hurry up!"

"Eunuch Wang Fu deceived the emperor and deceived his superiors. His crime is unforgivable. Hurry and arrest Wang Fu's entire family. No one in the Wang family will be spared!"

The Inspector of the Imperial Capital, Yang Qiu, laughed uncontrollably and commanded his soldiers to charge forward and violently break open the gate of the palace.

"Who are you to dare to trespass into the house of the emperor's attendant? Are you planning a rebellion?"

How could Wang Fu, who received the news, just sit there and wait for death? He immediately took his servants and prepared to fight to the end.

"who?"

“Hahahahahahaha, of course, this is the person who wants to kill you!

"Wang Furu, you eunuch, do you still remember me?" Yang Qiu stepped out from the crowd, sneering.

"It's you!" When Wang Fu saw that the person coming was his mortal enemy Yang Qiu, he knew that he would not be able to end this peacefully today.

"Don't waste time talking to him, just attack! Today the Wang family will be in danger!" After Yang Qiu gave the order, the soldiers who had been prepared rushed forward immediately and broke through Wang Fu's desperate resistance.

Poor Wang Fu, he held great power for many years, but lost everything in one day.

Not only were the entire Wang family arrested and thrown into the prison of the Sili Xiaowei Mansion, but even Wang Fu himself was thrown into the death cell, where he was tortured to death by Yang Qiu, who used his power for personal gain.

Yang Qiu had already collected evidence of Wang Fu's crimes.

However, Wang Fu had been too complacent over the years and did not even bother to disguise and cover up some of his crimes. Therefore, Yang Qiu listed all the crimes of Wang Fu and his relatives and friends with overwhelming evidence.

Emperor Ling, who got the news last, had no choice but to give up Wang Fu. He reluctantly accepted Yang Qiu's memorial and labeled Wang Fu a traitor.

With the emperor's edict, Yang Qiu became even more unscrupulous and implicated many people. For a time, people all over the world were in a panic.

The remaining followers of Wang Fu were in a state of constant fear.

Many people abandoned their official positions and fled, just to avoid disaster and escape this hardship.

Wang Fu's authority rests with the emperor.

Their lives and families depended on Wang Fu.

Now that Wang Fu is dead, these people will naturally scatter like monkeys when the tree falls.

Either die or escape.

The person who was most anxious among them was Lu Yi's old acquaintance.

The actual owner of 90% of the shares of Lu’s Caravan.

The perfect ally of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

The cousin of Lu Yi's immediate superior, the magistrate of Jiuyuan County.

This is Wang Fu’s younger brother Wang Zhi.

When Wang Zhi heard in Wuyuan County that his brother was killed by Yang Qiu, especially after being labeled a traitor by the emperor, Wang Zhi was like a rat crossing the street.

Not only did he throw away his dignity as the governor of Wuyuan County, he also forgot about his shares in Lu Yi's caravan, and fled straight to the border with his family and valuables.

Nonsense, you’ve lost your life, what’s the point of fame and fortune?

He is the core figure of Wang Fu Group. If he falls into Yang Qiu's hands, he will surely be extremely miserable, even death will be a simple matter.

Now his only way to survive is to flee across the border with his valuables and go to find his former ally Su Shuang, hoping to use him to get in touch with the Xianbei people and survive.

Wang Zhi's movements were quite fast, but there were people who were even faster than him.

He got wind of the news early on and was waiting on the path he had to take.

"Hurry up! Hurry up, everyone!"

"If you delay my journey, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

More than a dozen luxurious carriages roared back on the official road.

Wang Zhi personally drove the front carriage, waving the whip in his hand so fast that the precious war horses pulling the carriage could not help but roar in pain.

But even so, Wang Zhi doesn't feel sorry for these horses that he loves.

How can an animal's life be as valuable as your own?

Wang Zhi was not only cruel to the horses, but also cold and merciless to the followers in the caravan.

In the short journey from Wuyuan County to here, several people have been killed by Wang Zhi out of anger.

For a moment, everyone who was accompanying him was as quiet as a cicada, and no one dared to offend Wang Zhi.

They are even worse than Wang Zhi.

Even if they wanted to run, there was nowhere to run. There was no place for them in this big world. They could only follow Wang Zhi to the end.

However, this road is destined to be a road of no return.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Suddenly, several trip ropes were tightened on both sides of the official road.

The unsuspecting horse was immediately tripped by the tripwire and fell to the ground.

The carriage pulled by the horses also flew up.

The huge inertia immediately caused the carriage to be smashed to pieces.

Wang Zhi's carriage was the first to be hit, and he himself fell directly to the ground, being seriously injured instantly.

"Who hurt me?"

Wang Zhi was extremely angry. He struggled to raise his body to look at the person who had plotted to harm him, but he found a group of people riding horses from both sides of the official road, surrounding him and the rest of the caravan.

The leader was young and handsome, and looked very familiar to Wang Zhi.

"Lü Yi! It's you!"

The seriously injured Wang Zhi shook his dizzy head and looked at the person who came with some disbelief.

"I have no grudge against you and I am planning to nominate you as an honorary official next year. Why are you trying to murder me here?"

"Haha, why does the county magistrate have to speak so politely?"

"Murder?"

"It's better to say that I came here to show my concern for you!"

However, Lu Yi walked up to Wang Zhi and said with a smile.

"Wang County Magistrate only wants to get 90% of the shares of my Lu's Caravan for 20 million yuan, and he kindly leaves 10% for me to work like a slave for you. I am grateful to you, so how can I harm you?"

"I came all the way from Jiuyuan just to show my concern for you."

"Oh, right."

As Lu Yi spoke, his face turned cold and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"To be more specific, it's your end-of-life care!"

"what!"

Wang Zhi couldn't help but be horrified when he heard this.

Although he has lost his power now, at least he still has his life.

There will be a chance to start over in the future, and maybe even to avenge his brother.

If he was killed by Lu Yi at this moment, everything would be over and there would be no possibility of a comeback.

"Master Lu, please don't kill me. I was blind and tried to take over your property. Now I am willing to contribute all my money to you. Please spare my life!"
