Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 143

"That's it, then. News has come from the capital that the Emperor and the Crown Prince do suspect the smallpox case was manipulated."

"Given Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, if he finds out we're behind this, do you think we can still have tea here?"

"Over half a month has passed, and the prince hasn't touched us. That means it's not about this matter. There's no need to worry."

As he spoke, Lu Yi pushed the teacup in front of his brother, and then continued:

"Besides, when we decided to do this, we already knew the consequences of failure!"

"Since this is a gamble, there must be risks. If this succeeds, our Lu family will become the most prominent family in the Ming Dynasty."

"If I fail, I'll be dead without a burial place, but now that everything is fine, why panic and lose my composure?"

Seeing his brother's calm appearance, Lu Gu seemed to be less panicked.

"Brother, if the smallpox incident wasn't exposed, then why is Wanyi's death so strange?"

Lu Yi pondered for a moment before giving his guess.

"It should be Li Feng. Wanyi has the upper hand over him. I'm afraid he wants to kill Wanyi all the time to protect himself."

"Then should we quickly find a way to get rid of Li Feng? Otherwise, what if..."

"No!"

Before Lu Gu could finish his words, Lu Yi raised his hand to interrupt him.

"There is a suspicion of smallpox, and the Emperor and the Crown Prince will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. Now that Wanyi has been killed by Li Feng, it can be considered a good thing for us."

"With her death, all clues are gone. I guess this is why the emperor didn't take action against us."

"At this time, our Lu family must not be involved in this matter, otherwise any action will bring about fatal disaster."

"As for Li Feng..."

Having said that, a cold light flashed in Lu Yi's eyes.

"He knows too much. This eunuch must not remain in this world. However, we don't need to take any action in this matter."

"Let the White Lotus Sect clean up the traitors themselves and pass the news to Taoist Bailian."

"Also, tell them to get rid of that fellow named Wei Wu as well. How dare you, a scoundrel, ruin my Lu family's plans? Humph!"

After hearing what Lu Yi said, Lu Gu's face showed some worry again.

"Brother, Li Feng is in the palace. We can only take action after he leaves the palace. I'm afraid the White Lotus Sect won't want to cause trouble."

"No, they will agree. If they want food, they have to give me face. Otherwise, what can we give to those remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty?"

Looking at Lu Gu's timid look, Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If this wasn't his own brother and the person he trusted the most, he would have wanted to have Lu Gu killed directly.

How can a person who is so timid, hesitant and without any ambition or scheming achieve great things?

But he was his brother after all, and in the end he could only offer words of comfort.

"Don't worry! Don't forget the White Lotus Sect members. Those crazy people have been bewitched and are just as fearless as the death warriors.

"And even if we fail, the White Lotus won't dare to implicate us unless they no longer want to buy food."

After Lu Yi finished speaking, the anxiety on Lu Gu's face finally disappeared.

He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and immediately stood up to make arrangements.

After Lu Gu left, Lu Yi also stood up and left the pavilion, walking towards the study.

There is a secret passage in Lu Yi's study, and even Lu Gu doesn't know about it.

In the entire Lu family, only Lu Yi knew about it.

After closing the door, Lu Yi entered the secret passage alone.

"I implicated the White Lotus in the smallpox incident, letting them bear the emperor's wrath."

After Lu Yi finished speaking, there was no response from the secret passage, and he did not stop either.

After saying that, he came out from the secret passage as if nothing had happened.

An undercurrent was slowly approaching Wei Wu without anyone noticing.

The protagonist Wei Wu was sitting on the sofa with Lan Yu, eating popsicles.

That’s right, popsicles.

Just now, Zhu Biao finished his business, gave a few more instructions not to take any risks, and then took Zhu Di away.

Originally, Zhu Di wanted to ask Wei Wu a lot about overseas matters, but he had no choice but to follow him.

After the two left, Wei Wu brought Lan Yu into the house and took two popsicles from the refrigerator.

This thing didn't come out of a package, he made it himself by squeezing fruit juice.

As a nobleman, Lan Yu naturally had an ice cellar at home and was no stranger to ice.

He was mainly curious about what that refrigerator was, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Wei Wu noticed it, but he was too lazy to explain and went straight to the business.

"Marquis Yongchang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already told you about the attack on the Japanese pirates!"

Lan Yu nodded and answered without hiding anything:

"Yes, His Highness did give instructions. What did Earl Changle want to say?"

Wei Wu cleared his throat and then expressed his thoughts

"I want to say that we have to exterminate our race, but we still have to leave a large number of Japanese pirates to help us mine."

"To ensure they don't slack off and make mining more efficient, shouldn't we set up a reward and punishment mechanism to motivate them?"

"I heard we have a kind of punishment called riding a wooden donkey. It would be a good punishment to punish the Japanese pirates who do the least mining in the future."

Even a rough man like Lan Yu couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard Wei Wu's words.

What a hatred!

"Well, Uncle Changle, as far as I know, riding the wooden donkey is for adulterous women. It doesn't seem to be useful for men."

"Don't worry, it can be used. As long as there's a hole, it can be used. Oh, and by the way, can the stick on the wooden donkey be replaced with one with barbs?"

I have to say, this sentence really stumped Lan Yu.

"This, I haven't seen it either! How about I ask for you later?"

"Okay, it would be even better if it could be made of iron, preferably with fire underneath to heat the iron red!"

After hearing these words, Lan Yu's impression of Wei Wu completely changed.

That young and handsome face suddenly had a fang-like feeling.

How the hell is this Changle Bo! He's basically the living devil!
