Imperial Demon Slayer Division

After hearing what Lu Xingli said, Nangong Shan squinted his eyes and stared at Lu Xingli's eyes for a long while before he said

"What does Patriarch Lu think of the laws of the Great Qin? A toy?"

"Since I have taken the post of governor of Jiangnan County, I am the father and mother of the people in the county. If a citizen under my jurisdiction was beaten to death in the street, how would the people of Jiangnan County view me if I let Lu Chuanqi go? And how would His Majesty view me?"

Lu Xingli frowned and asked

"Isn't it just that a drunkard died? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

Hearing Lu Xingli's words, Nangong Shan's face quickly became covered with a layer of frost, and he said coldly

"A drunkard? So what if he's a drunkard? He's still a citizen of our Great Qin! A citizen of Jiangnan County!"

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Even you, the head of the Lu family, are just an ordinary citizen like a drunkard in my eyes and in the eyes of the court."

Seeing that Nangong Shan did not back down at all and even used the imperial court to pressure him, Lu Xingli's face also showed a struggle.

“Master Nangong, if I say Qi’er is not in the mansion, would you believe it?”

After Lu Xingli finished speaking, the strong men in the Lu Mansion rushed out instantly and surrounded the soldiers in that battalion and the hall.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from a battalion of soldiers in the rear.

"Whether Lu Chuanqi is in the Lu Mansion, I will find out if I lead people to search."

Lu Xingli turned his head sharply towards the place where the sound came from, and looked at the person who stood out from the crowd. His heart slowly sank to the bottom of the valley.

Lu Xingli knew why Nangongshan invited a demon slayer officer to come. He just wanted to use the power of the demon slayer department to force the Lu family to hand over Lu Chuanqi.

Lu Xingli was not afraid of an earth-level demon slayer, nor was he afraid of the Jiangnan County Demon Slayer Division. What Lu Xingli was afraid of was the person behind the Jiangnan County Demon Slayer Division.

If this matter gets out of hand and the person who caused it comes from Yezhou, then this matter will not end well.

Thinking of this, Lu Xingli said in a deep voice

"It turns out to be Lord Jiang from the Jiangnan County Demon Slaying Division. Lord Nangong even invited you here. It seems that he must take Qi'er away today."

Nangong Shan stared into Lu Xingli's eyes and said word by word

"Today, no one can stop me!"

Facing the extremely powerful Nangong Shan, Lu Xingli weighed the pros and cons in his mind, sighed, and said

"Bring that beast here!"

The butler beside Lu Xingli clasped his fists and said

"Yes! Patriarch!"

……

After a cup of tea, Lu Chuanqi was taken to the lobby

Seeing Nangong Shan bring so many people to the Lu Mansion, including a newly promoted Earth-rank demon slayer Jiang Sheng, Lu Chuanqi's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

Lu Chuanqi pretended to be calm, walked up to Lu Xingli, bowed, and asked

"Dad, what happened? Why did Lord Nangong bring so many people to our house?"

Nangong Shan sneered when he heard Lu Chuanqi's words.

"Lu Chuanqi, do you really not know why I am here?"

How could Lu Chuanqi not know why Nangong Shan came? He just didn't understand. Wasn't it just to beat up a drunkard? Why would Nangong Shan lead so many soldiers to attack the Lu family?

"Master Nangong, you are joking. I don't know how big it is."

Before Lu Chuanqi finished speaking, he heard Nangong Shan suddenly shout

"Lu Chuanqi! You are lawless and disregard the laws of Qin. You beat a civilian to death in the street. What crime should you be punished for?"

Lu Chuanqi was frightened by Nangong Shan's shout and shuddered violently, his face turned pale instantly.

Injuring people and bullying the people are two different things, not to mention that it happened in Jiangnan County, in broad daylight, in front of everyone.

"Impossible! He was still breathing when the guards beat him up. How could it be possible that..."

Lu Chuanqi suddenly stopped talking here, pointed at himself, and said in disbelief

"Could it be... my last kick?"

Nangong Shan sneered and said

“It seems you’ve figured it out yourself.”

"take away!"

As soon as Nangong Shan finished speaking, two yamen runners holding iron chains stepped out of the crowd, strode to Lu Chuanqi's side, and roughly locked him up.

After being chained, Lu Chuanqi finally began to get scared and turned around and shouted to his father behind him:

"Father...Father, save me, save me!"

When Lu Xingli heard his son's cry, he ignored him and looked at Nangong Shan deeply.

He didn't understand where Nangong Shan got the confidence to confront the Lu family head-on.

If I hadn't offended the Jiangnan County Demon Slaying Division, the Lord from Yezhou wouldn't have shown up.

So where did Nangong Shan get the courage from? Wasn't he afraid that the Lu family would secretly kill him?

Lu Xingli actually felt a little regretful about the situation today. He spoiled his son too much, which led to him accidentally killing someone and causing such a disaster.

Nangong Shan looked at Lu Xingli, who had no expression on his face, and said loudly

"Master Lu, I'm leaving!"

"Return to the county magistrate's office and open the court!"

……

Not long after Nangongshan took Lu Chuanqi away, Lu Chuanyu, who was busy with the family business in other places, came back.

When Lu Chuanyu arrived at the lobby, he saw his father, who looked a little gloomy, and asked

"What's wrong, father? Did something happen?"

Lu Xingli hummed with a nasal sound and whispered

"Your brother accidentally killed a drunkard on the street this afternoon. Nangong Shan led his men into the mansion and took your brother away."

Lu Chuanyu knows what kind of person his younger brother is

"I said back then that Qi'er's arrogant temper would bring him trouble sooner or later. I taught him a lesson several times but he didn't listen. Now, look what happened. He was captured right in the mansion."

Lu Xingli closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, saying in a deep voice

"Okay, no matter what Qi'er does, now is not the time to blame him. Let's think of a way to get him out."

Lu Chuanyu walked to a chair and sat down, saying

"Father, the strongest man in the county governor's mansion is only a warrior in the early stage of Guanhai Realm. You are a warrior in the middle stage of Banshan Realm. You can conceal your identity and break into the prison tonight, rescue my brother directly, and then keep him away from Jiangnan County."

When Lu Xingli heard Lu Chuanyu's plan, he rejected it without even thinking about it.

"No"

"Nangong Shan's attitude today is extremely tough. He must have someone to rely on. If I force my way into the prison, I will definitely fall into his trap."

Lu Chuanyu just said it casually. If Lu Xingli disagrees, forget it.

"Then we will do as we did before, find the drunkard's family, offer them huge benefits, and make them withdraw the lawsuit."

"By then, the family of the deceased won't pursue the matter, and Nangong Shan won't be able to do anything about it. The most he can do is beat Qi'er with a stick."

There was no other way at this point, Lu Xingli could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you then."

"Got it, Father."

……

In the county governor's office, Nangong Shan, dressed in his official uniform, sat in the hall, looking extremely majestic.

Lu Chuanqi, whose hands and feet were shackled, knelt on the ground with lifeless eyes.

On both sides were bailiffs holding killing sticks, staring at Lu Chuanqi, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

"Ascension!"

"Mighty~"
