Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 142

Just as he was thinking in his heart, Zhu Biao spoke again.

"I won't deal with Li Feng for now, so as not to alert the enemy. I want to see if there is really someone else behind him."

"But you were involved in this matter with the Lu family. Many people in the palace know about it, and Jiangnan will definitely know about it."

When Zhu Biao said this, Wei Wu immediately spoke up and took over the conversation.

"So, those people will definitely cause trouble for me, and they'll probably use any means to do it, right?"

"Yes, I came to you to talk about this. I have sent people to strengthen the guard, but you must be careful too!"

"Be careful, of course we should be careful, but they should be the ones to be careful!"

Wei Wu responded lightly, with a sneer on his face.

"Brother Zhu, you said that as long as I don't rebel or betray you while I'm in the Ming Dynasty, who can take my life?"

Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed, and he smiled and said:

"My mother once said that as long as you don't betray the Ming Dynasty or the Emperor, no one in the Ming Dynasty can touch you."

"You may not know this, but our Queen Mother never interferes in state affairs, but no one dares to question what she says!"

"Now I make the same promise to you. As long as I am alive, no one in the Ming Dynasty can touch you!"

The last time Empress Ma said this, Emperor Wu of Wei responded in a joking manner.

But this time, he stood up and saluted very formally.

"Wei Wu, thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

After giving his response, he immediately returned to his usual self the next second.

"Brother Zhu, I have you and Auntie protecting me. Even if they try to frame me, they won't be able to do anything to me."

"In the end, I'm afraid they'll have no choice but to send someone to kill me! If they do that, I'll be serious."

"Otherwise, I will go to Jiangnan myself and destroy the Lu family. This will be a good opportunity to test whether there is really someone behind this."

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately spoke up to stop him.

"No, if that's the case, I might as well just wipe out the Lu family. But you can't take the risk yourself, and don't mention this matter again!"

Although he was mentally prepared, Zhu Biao still felt a little amused when he really rejected Wei Wu.

But what could he say?

People are worried about his safety, and Wei Wu is not so ungrateful as to complain about anything.

However, considering this situation, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

"How about training a group of gunmen? Shen Lin and his men should be good. At least we'll have people holding guns when we attack the Japanese pirates in the future."

"Otherwise, if I were alone, even with a gun, I wouldn't be able to kill many. If I only killed 18,000, would that be considered a massacre?"

"And after they're well-trained, if something happens in the future and I can't go out, I can ask them to go out and do the work. We can shoot whoever we want!"

Just as Wei Wu and Zhu Biao were talking.

In a garden courtyard in Suzhou City, two middle-aged men in elegant clothes were also talking about the smallpox case.

One of them was Lu Yi, the patriarch of the Lu family in Jiangnan, and the other was his third brother Lu Gu.

The father of Crown Princess Lu, Lu Ben, was Lu Yi's younger brother and the second oldest child in the family, but he has passed away.

The two sat in the garden pavilion, with a charcoal stove and various tea sets placed on the stone table in the middle.

Lu Yi was fiddling with the tea set slowly, but Lu Gu beside him was obviously a little anxious.

"Brother, Wanyi's death was unclear, aren't you worried at all? How can you still be so focused on drinking tea?"

Lu Yi, who had just finished brewing the tea and was about to raise his cup to drink it, paused and then asked:

"worry about what?"

"What are you worried about? Of course it's the smallpox thing! If it gets exposed, our Lu family will be exterminated!"

Lu Yi took a sip of the fragrant tea and savored it before continuing.

"How long has Wanyi been dead?"

"About half a month!"

"If Wanyi really died in this incident, and there is real evidence, do you think the prince will let our Lu family go?"

Lu Gu shook his head, "No!"
