Lord Lu's Intentions

Hou Song was arrested, and the students were no longer in the mood to go out and have fun, and they all stayed in the camp and waited.

After a long while, Liu Si finally came back and brought back two pieces of news.

First, Hou Song is now imprisoned in Prefectural Prison and fucked Qi Severing Lock. His vitality has been completely sealed, but he has not suffered any physical hardship. He is locked in a clean single cell. After all, he is also the person in charge of the sect branch, so the government still gives him some face.

Second, Liu Si met Lord Lu. He is Southwest Governor-General and the highest officer of Yunzhou City. He is resident in Yunzhou's sect has to visit Lord Lu frequently, and they all have connections. According to Lord Lu, because the identity of the dead person is not trivial, this This case is very difficult to handle. Wujida is not only a Great Shaman, but also the highest official of the Southern Borderlands tribe in Yunzhou. The Southern Borderlands people have made it clear that they require the government to catch the murderer before Great Shaman is buried the day after tomorrow, otherwise Yunzhou City will have to pay the price.

These Southern Borderlands people are fierce and do not agree with the laws of Central Plains. They can live in peace with each other in normal times. But now that such a big incident has happened, it is easy for them to take extreme actions. It would be trivial to trigger a riot. If they are forced to release the Gu Poison in the city, lives may be lost.

Therefore, Lord Lu is also in a difficult situation now. On the other hand, Soothing Southern Borderlands people are working hard to investigate the case. Not only Hou Song, but all the suspects have been brought under control. As long as the guys who had conflicts with Wujida in the past three years are now in jail...

Of course, it's only for Central Plains people. The Southern Borderlands people are on fire right now, so he doesn't dare to move.

"Although Lord Lu didn't say it clearly, it hinted at the end..." Liu Si said, "If the real culprit cannot be determined in the end, we can only hand over all the suspects to Southern Borderlands to appease their anger."

"After all, if the Southern Borderlands people cause trouble, I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of people in the city will be affected. If we can solve this matter with dozens of suspects, it will be cost-effective."

"This is nonsense!" Lu Fei said angrily, "How can there be such a confused official!"

"I also mentioned this to Lord Lu..." Liu Si shook his head and sighed, "But he said that when Martial Uncle Hou greeted the bride, many Southern Borderlands people saw it, so many people believed that he was suspected, and it was difficult for him to let him go..."

Luo Jun frowned and said, "In addition to you, is there anyone else who can plead with Lord Lu?"

Everyone else frowned when they heard this. Obviously, this Lord Lu was determined to kill him rather than let him go.

Liu Si shook his head. "Lord Lu is a dignified Governor. How can anyone just see him? Except for Martial Uncle Hou, most of the other suspects are ordinary people. At most, they can only shout injustice at the yamen gate and be driven away by official officials."

"It's just a different stance..." Li Xinyu shook his head. "From his point of view, rather than finding the real culprit, calming down the Southern Borderlands people's anger comes first."

"What nonsense is this!" Xiao Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Just saying hello becomes the motive for killing? How about we go to the prison and rob the prison? What about the army? Let them have a taste of my iron claws."

"We Cong Zongmen came here and brought a lot of treasures and silver. We really can't take care of them..." Tie Jingang said, "Since there are many suspects, there is no shortage of Hou Song. Maybe we can save him..."

"Yunzhou City is no better than other places. It is considered an important border town, with a mixture of forces from all sides. The court has deployed heavy troops to intimidate, and there are also many official officials stationed in charge." Liu Si added, "A place has its own rules, and in Tongda Town, the government also has to Look at the faces of the Bainas, but in Yunzhou, the imperial court is the boss, and all the sects stationed here have acquiesced to this situation, and it is reasonable to handle the case and arrest people. If Hundred Rivers Sect resists the imperial court for this reason, other Martial World sects will not support it."

Luo Jun nodded. "It seems that this gentleman is not only not confused, but also very smart!"

This guy spoke with indignation, but the corners of his mouth were still raised. It was obvious that he was more looking forward to fighting with the army than saving people...

"By the way, Senior Sister Liu..." Luo Jun suddenly spoke, "Except Martial Uncle Hou, who are the other suspects?"

"Don't be impulsive!" Tie Jingang stopped him. "[Martial World] The world's imperial court is weak, and that is also for the entire Jianghu forces. After all, it is still the official force of this world. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its body is there. You can We regard the imperial court as the largest and most powerful sect in the world. It only spreads across the country and has insufficient control over various places. But if you really want to provoke it, except for those big sects with Feather Transformation in charge and tens of thousands of disciples, the ordinary sects and the imperial court can still control it at will."

Liu Si said, "They are all people who have a grudge against Wujida... Hey, you don't know, this Southern Borderlands Master Great Shaman came to Yunzhou three years ago and took office. He was overbearing and overbearing, and he just dominated the Southern Borderlands area. He also often went to Central Plains people's places to make trouble, oppress the people, and even killed people... However, due to his special status, the government was not able to investigate deeply, so many people actually wanted him dead..."

Others looked at Luo Jun: "How do you say this?"

"According to Senior Sister Liu, the other suspects may have had their families destroyed by Wujida in serious cases, or they may have been bullied and occupied property. At least they can be regarded as having a grudge. In comparison, this matter of Martial Uncle Hou is considered the most insignificant."

"Ordinary people don't have any background. If they are caught, they will be able to deal with the consequences. Martial Uncle Hou is a local influencer of the Hundred Rivers Sect and can be considered a certain influential figure. Why risk offending Hundred Rivers Sect by specially arresting him?"

"Yes, why?" Everyone thought about it and felt strange.

"I guess this lord doesn't want to hand over all those people at all!" Luo Jun sighed, "Southern Borderlands is putting pressure on everyone who has a grudge against Wujida to arrest them all, but Lord Lu knows that all of them should be innocent. After all, ordinary people can assassinate such big shots at will?"

"But if you don't surrender, you can't explain to Southern Borderlands... So the only solution is to catch the real culprit and provide conclusive evidence that can convince Southern Borderlands! So, this gentleman followed the clues provided by Southern Borderlands and arrested Martial Uncle Hou, in order to force us to help investigate this case!"

Luo Jun sighed, "If he really thinks so, then Martial Uncle Hou can't be released even if he lets him go!"

Liu Si's eyes lit up when he heard this. "After you said this, Lord Lu did mention in the end that if the real culprit can be caught, he can be released!"

"Look at it this way, what Luo Jun said makes sense!" Tie Jingang nodded. "But how can Lord Lu be sure that we can find the real culprit?"

"I guess he is a dead horse and a living doctor..." Luo Jun shrugged his shoulders. "The government is definitely investigating with all its strength, but if there are martial arts Gao Qiang's Jianghu sect to help, the case can be solved The success rate will definitely be much higher, especially for our Hundred Rivers Sect, which is famous for its various magical props. If other sects can also join us, it is estimated that Lord Lu will also arrest people. There is more power with more people."

"To take a step back, even if the case is not solved in the end, the result will be the same as now. Dozens of people will still be sacrificed for the peace and stability of Yunzhou City. Lord Lu will not be at a loss..." As he said, Luo Jun touched his chin. "And I estimate that if he doesn't want to offend Hundred Rivers Sect, he might finally find a way to get Martial Uncle Hou out..."

"So Martial Uncle is not in danger?" Liu Si looked happy.

"It's just a possibility..." Luo Jun shook his head. "But we can't gamble with Martial Uncle's safety..."

"Then what should we do now?" Tie Jingang looked at him. Unknowingly, everyone had begun to follow Luo Jun's ideas, and his opinions were the main ones.

"Now there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower." Luo Jun said, "The best result is definitely to find the real culprit. This will not only calm the incident, but also make the government owe Hundred Rivers Sect a big favor. Martial Uncle Hou's work here will be easier to carry out in the future."

"The central strategy is to secretly rescue Martial Uncle Hou. It is best to use a body double as a scapegoat so that no one will notice. However, this will damage Hundred Rivers Sect's reputation in the world, and Martial Uncle Hou will not be able to show up here in the future."

"The next best option is to directly rob the prison, or let the sect send out experts to put pressure. But this will break the relationship, and the branch in Yunzhou City will basically not be able to continue operating in the future."

Tie Jingang nodded after hearing this. "Let's do this, Liu Si, you go and communicate with Lord Lu and ask if you can let Hundred Rivers Sect help investigate the case... Normally, Southern Borderlands probably won't agree, but if Lord Lu really has the same idea as Luo Jun speculated, then he will definitely try his best to negotiate with Southern Borderlands so that we can intervene in the investigation!"

"Okay!" Liu Si nodded and said, "I'll go right away!"

"Wait!" Luo Jun stopped her and turned to look at Tie Jingang: "Martial Uncle Tie, can I go with senior sister? I want to see the situation, maybe I can find some other breakthroughs..."

Tie Jingang nodded. "Okay, I will join you too..."

"Then I'll go too!" The two people said in unison, it was Ling Xin and Lu Fei!

"Then I want to go too!" Xiao Tian also raised his hand.

"Take me with you too..." This time it was Lao Miao Miao. Lei Tianyang on the side also raised his hand and said, "Count me in..."

There are also Zhao Jian and Xu Yiming who plan to follow, and many other students also raised their hands to join.

"We don't need so many people!" Tie Jingang waved his hand. "Just me and Liu Si Luo Jun will be fine. Li Xinyu, you use Close-Range Mirror to report the matter to the sect and see what instructions there are from above. The others stay in the sect and are on standby, waiting for dispatch at any time!"
