Han Zhen had paid his respects to Lu Xingsan, but the two of them didn't have any friendship at all. Even though Lu Xingsan didn't possess any official body, he wasn't someone Han Zhen could match up to. If he wanted to curry favor with the other party, he would still have to see if Lu Xingsan was in the mood to do so. The reason for this meeting was because Xu Huaiyan had someone bring a secret letter to Han Zhen. Tell him that he can seek the help of the third master of the Lu family when he reaches the Lu family! To have this kind of instruction, it meant that Xu Huaiyan and Lu Yuesheng's relationship wasn't shallow. This was something that Han Zhen hadn't known before.

Lu Xingsan was extremely courteous to him. After a series of flashy discussions between the two, Lu Xingsan took the lead and walked into the main topic.

"Lord Xu, please send me a letter saying that you need me to help you with something!"

Han Zhen was startled. What exactly was the meaning behind these words? He was not certain!

"Oh, I wonder what Third Old Master can do to help this junior?"

"Sir Han, you don't need to ask too much. You only need to know that no matter what you want to do, you can do it!"

With that, he took out a identity card and handed it to him.

"Right now, Lu family is under strict security. This badge is convenient for you to enter or leave. As for whether or not you can do as you wish, that will be up to you!" This old man still has many matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer, Sir Han!

Han Zhen saw the impatience Lu XingSan had shown in his eyes, but he could only suppress the displeasure in his heart and get up to take his leave!

After the Phoenix Cry Restaurant, the people he arranged for him to live or die didn't show any sign of leaving behind any corpses, which made him very nervous. In addition, he had tried several times to pay his respects to the Ping Wang, but the two words "I don't want to see" had always rejected him. Under this kind of mood, Lu Yuesheng's' impoliteness' wasn't that important anymore!

On the way back, Han Zhen continued to ponder about Lu XingSan's intentions. Dealing with Zhang Zhou and Cao Yi didn't seem to benefit the Lu family, so he didn't dare to reveal his intentions in front of Lu Xing San. However, the meaning behind Lu Xing San's words was very clear. Could it be that Lu Xingsan and Lu Daiwen were already in the same bed? Just when he was about to return to his residence, he saw a few people walking out of Zhang Zhou's residence from afar. Under the light of the lamp, he could clearly see that they were all wearing night clothes. Han Zhen was stunned. What are they going to do? This outfit must have something to do with being unable to see the light of day. Following that, he might have discovered something. He could sense that the time and opportunity to trap Zhang Zhou would be running out. He touched the badge on his waist, made up his mind, and secretly followed.

Lu Xingsan, the younger brother of Lu Daiwen, had been in control of the Lu family's flats for almost ten years. In Liangzhou, even the prefectural yamen's head had to respectfully call him 'third master'. However, he did not live a happy life. According to the rules, after Zhao Qianyuan became the emperor, Lu Daiwen had to resign, but Lu Daiwen did not. Lu Daiwen, on the other hand, gave up his position as the official he had been given (on behalf of Lu Daiwen, in response to Lu Daiwen's words), and returned to Lu Jia Ping. Although in the past few years, Big Brother had allowed him to take over the position of Patriarch, but this could not make up for the resentment in his heart. But now, in the eyes of others, he could only be Lu Daiwen's little brother!

His acquaintance with Xu Huaiyan was due to a man who had implicated him in Liangzhou to appease General Inspector Tian. Tian Patrol was known to the world. He came from the crown prince's residence and had been the head of his guards for ten years. It was precisely because of his relationship that he met Xu Huaiyan once. He was willing to help Xu Huaiyan, a person who couldn't be exposed, because they were standing on the same interest chain — the crown prince's line. He was able to guess some clues about what Han Zhen was planning to do. However, he was not too interested. This was because he was currently filled with pretense about his own plans.

Lu XingSan sent Han Zhen off and returned to the study. Inside the room sat a muscular general, waiting for him. The general saw him enter the room and did not get up. He asked lightly, "He left?"

"Gone!" "I don't understand, what effect does Han Zhen have on our plan?"

The military general was the general of Liangzhou, who was comforting the general. How could he not know Lu Xing San's impatient thoughts? With a sneer in his heart, he said, "Master San, don't be impatient! There are plans and arrangements at the top! "

As the crown prince's best friend, Inspector Tian was willing to do anything to help. Although he did not receive any specific instructions, he would not let go of any opportunity to solve the crown prince's problem. As the crown prince's trusted aide, he knew very well who was the political enemy of him. An opportunity like this was already difficult to come by. Moreover, there was also the role of Lu Xingsan that could be taken advantage of. The opportunity would not come by himself, but rather, it would require him to find the right time and decisively seize it.

As long as Lu Daiwen fell, Lu Xingsan wouldn't be able to lift his own palm at all. At that time, wouldn't he be easy to grasp? However, it was much easier to use the Crown Prince's name to talk about matters than it was to use the name of a general who had nothing to do.

As expected, Lu Yuesheng's tone was a lot softer, but there was still some dissatisfaction in it.

I know this, but I have plotted this for a long time. If this Han Zhen is allowed to act rashly and cause my big brother to be wary, won't the gains make up for the losses? "I still feel like there's something …"

Inspector Tian shook his head and said, "Is San Ye saying that there's no point in doing this? Heh heh, San Ye, what we're looking for is no small matter! Even if it succeeds, I'm afraid we will be implicated later on. Now that someone has taken the initiative to stir up the water, wouldn't it be better to divert our gaze? This is Xu Huaiyan giving us a pillow, it's not a bad thing! "

He was also clear that he was only a chess piece. If he succeeded, the one who would reap the most benefits would definitely not be him. However, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity to make a comeback.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, saying that there was an important matter to report. Lu XingSan had already warned the servants that they could not be disturbed unless there was an urgent matter at hand! As such, although he was in a bad mood, he did not refuse to see them. The one who came to report was a guard of the manor. With a dark expression, Lu Xingsan asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master, Prince Ping brought a few men and sneakily left the manor. They must have gone to the back of the mountain. The supervisor asked me to ask the lord if I should send someone to follow them!"

Lu XingSan glanced at the guard and thought to himself, "Why do you need to ask? Of course it's to keep an eye on him. Ping Wang is young and willful. What should we do if something happens in the middle of the night?" He wanted to take down Lu Daiwen, but he didn't dare to do anything to the Ping Wang.

But before he could say anything, Inspector Tian stood up and asked, "How many people did you bring?"

"Reporting to the general, including the Ping Wang, a total of six people!"

"Other than you people in charge, who else knows?"

"How could the steward dare to expose this matter? He secretly told me to hurry up and report this to him. I hope that the old master can come up with an idea!"

Seeing that he had finished asking and was about to say something, Inspector Tian suddenly made his move. He grabbed the guard by the neck and tightened his grip, clearly hearing the sound of the guard's neck breaking. Lu XingSan was frightened out of his wits and looked up to see Inspector Tian glaring fiercely at him as he shouted in a low voice, "Shut up!" Hearing his words, Lu Xing San forced the words out of his mouth. Inspector Tian put the bodyguard's corpse to the side and stared at Lu Xingwen, "Didn't you say you wanted to turn around? Didn't you want to bring your big brother down? Now the chance has come! "

Lu Yuesheng was indeed plotting to bring down Lu Daiwen, so that he could truly become the master of Lu family. Without powerful external help, he would not be able to move his big brother at all. This time, Lu Daiwen was going back to take charge of the sacrifice, and it was a good opportunity, he had already thought of no less than five ways to take over Lu Daiwen, and with the help of the crown prince, he was not afraid of Lu Daiwen's downfall! The reason why he didn't want Han Zhen to get involved was because he was worried that the moment anything happened, with Lu Daiwen's sensitivity, he would be on his guard in time. When that time came, he might not have a chance to make a move! And at this moment, Inspector Tian's actions were out of his expectations!

"You, what is the meaning of this?"

Inspector Tian laughed coldly and said, "Now, you only have two choices. One is to invite that steward here and use his life as the stepping stone for your position! The second thing is to be like this guy! " Inspector Tian pointed at the corpse on the ground!

Lu Xingsan sat back in his chair, his face pale!

Han Zhen's martial arts were not bad, and with his years of torture, his tracking ability naturally wasn't bad. They were finally seen entering the cave. He was extremely conflicted in his heart. His current thoughts were not only to get rid of Zhang Zhou. He suspected that the Ping Wang already knew what he had done, but he just hadn't done anything to him yet! Extreme hatred, coupled with extreme fear, could easily lead to extreme thoughts, leading to an extreme where one could not turn back! At this moment, Han Zhen was praying for the Ping Wang and the others to find out what happened in the cave …

However, he did not dare to do anything. He was too clear on what it meant by the assassination attempt! Also, he didn't think he could do it alone! He could only continue to observe with his heart at a loss and his thoughts in disarray. After who knows how long, he suddenly heard Yang Xiaolang who was guarding the entrance to the cave shout, "Who?"

Han Zhen was shocked, thinking that the other party had discovered him, and unconsciously shrank back his neck, only to see a few black clad figures rushing out of the forest, but they did not answer him, holding bright weapons in their hands, and pouncing towards him like Yang Xiaolang. Yang Xiaolang did not hesitate, and pulled his bow and shot an arrow at one of them, and the rest of the people in the forest also began to shoot arrows, Yang Xiaolang had nowhere to hide, and they could only retreat to the cave.

Under the cover of the crossbows, more people rushed out of the forest. There were around forty to fifty of them, and they were all dressed in night attire. Judging from their movements, it was obvious that they were not weak at all.

They gathered together and whispered to each other without knowing what to say. Then they started to organize their men, found a large amount of branches and hay, tied them up, and threw them into the cave under the cover of the crossbows. During this time, another person was shot dead, but they did not stop their movements. Following that, under the urging of a few people, those people used the large amount of stone materials stored around the cave entrance to frantically fill up the cave entrance. In the end, they even directly ripped open the cave entrance! It was not over yet. He continued sealing the cracks in the cave until no more smoke leaked out …

He clearly understood what had happened and was incomparably terrified. How could he have any joy of having 'obtained what he wanted', only a cold chill that permeated his entire body. If those people were to discover his existence, there would only be one outcome.

Han Zhen crawled up from the bush after confirming that those people had left before dawn. He looked at the sealed hole, gritted his teeth, and quickly left.

With Han Zhen's identity token, entering the village was not difficult! All he wanted now was to get back to his master, as if nothing had happened the night before. Unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfil his wish. Just as he reached the entrance of the alley where he lived, he was stopped by someone. He said that Lu Xing San would look for him. Even Han Zhen refused his request to change clothes. He could only force himself to calm down and follow them to meet Lu Xingsan.

However, after entering Lu Xingsan's study, he knew that he was in trouble!

Lu XingSan's complexion turned awful, and he remained silent. And the general sitting beside him was looking at him as if he was looking at a dead man. No one said a word of greeting, but the general immediately asked coldly, "Sir Han, where did you go last night?"

"I, I can't fall asleep, so I went out to take a stroll!"

"Humph!" Do you take me for a fool? Or do you think I don't dare to kill you? If you keep on putting on an act like this, I won't give you another chance! "

Han Zhen felt a chill down his spine. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, not knowing what to say. Inspector Tian snorted and said, "There are only two paths that you can take right now!"

Han Zhen's breathing quickened. He forcefully suppressed his unease and asked directly, "Which two?" He had also disguised himself by admitting everything the other party suspected.

Tian Fa smiled and said, "First, go and die right now. You have to believe that no one will care if there's one more you on the death list!" Second, cooperate with us! "

"How do we work together?"

"You come forward to testify that Zhang Zhou and Zhang Xing's team, together with the two guards on the manor, swindled Ping Wang Palace into going down the back mountain. As for what happened after that, you don't know!"

Patrol Officer Tian was very proud of his scheme. Xu Huaiyan's goal was Cao Yi, Lu Xingsan's target was Lu Daiwen, and his goal was to get rid of his potential competitor — the Ping Wang. His timing last night was too good, killing three birds with one stone! With this, not only would Lu XingSan and Xu Huaiyan be tied down, but he would also be heavily favored by the crown prince. Although he would temporarily be involved, when the crown prince ascended the throne, what awaited him would definitely be a reward of gold and silver, as well as the rapid rise in his position. He seemed to have already seen himself becoming an official in the game.
