Yang Fan sneered and said, "In Senior's mind, perhaps what we did is like a child's play, and it's not even as practical as a guqin. But in my mind, even if all the famous weapons in the world are piled up together, they are not as important as my own life!"
Yang Fan pointed at Lu Binzhi and said sternly, "I believe that Senior can also see that Lu Binzhi has not given up on killing me! And I can't give up just like that. Killing an official is equivalent to rebellion, and the consequences are serious. I advise Senior to pretend that you don't know anything about this matter and leave. If Senior is willing to bear the responsibility, then you have to give me a clear explanation! "
Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Old Grandpa Li's old eyes, and Miss Ning Ke also couldn't help looking at Yang Fan with a strange light in her eyes. When Old Grandpa Li came, he really didn't know what was going on here, but how could he not know now? He and Miss Ning Ke echoed each other in talking about antiques and famous weapons, but in the end, they just wanted to ease the atmosphere and then solve this matter slowly.
After all, no matter how rampant the Lu boy was, the Lu family and many aristocratic families were in the same boat, and behind Yang Fan stood the imperial court, so he was not a pushover. Unless they let go and let Yang Fan die, it would take a lot of effort to solve this matter properly.
But they didn't expect that Yang Fan didn't care about the power they showed. He was obviously at a disadvantage, and even like a prisoner waiting to be executed, but he still dared to be aggressive and take the initiative to point out this matter.
Lu Binzhi's face turned fierce, and he sneered, "For the sake of Old Grandpa Li, I wanted to let you live a little longer, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient! If you don't spare me, do you think I will spare you? You can enter Hibiscus Garden today, but you can't leave! "
Lu Binzhi slammed his wine cup heavily on the table. The four sumo wrestlers and eight samurai with concealed crossbows immediately took a step forward. Only his four personal bodyguards remained motionless. Dugu Yu also had guards under him. Seeing this, the eight armed guards immediately held their sword springs in their hands and took a step forward, giving tit for tat.
Just a moment ago, they were still talking and laughing, and in a harmonious atmosphere, but in a moment, they were at daggers drawn and murderous!
"What are you doing? Are you looking down on this old man? " Great Grandfather Li coldly rebuked and stopped both sides from making a move. He then put down his wine cup and looked at Yang Fan. He sighed and said, "Alas! This old man originally wanted to feign ignorance, but you, this young man, are not willing to forgive me! "
Yang Fan didn't say anything, only staring at him coldly.
Old Master Li pondered for a moment and said while stroking his beard, "I am also in a difficult position regarding this matter! How about this, this old man will have the Lu Family's son apologize to you solemnly and compensate you with a generous gift. He will swear that he will never make things difficult for you again. How about it? "
Before Yang Fan could say anything, Lu Binzhi's expression changed drastically. "Great-grandfather, you can't do that! Grandson respects Great Grandfather, but grandson does not dare to agree to this matter! "
Great-grandfather Li's face darkened as he scolded, "Why can't you agree? Do you want to kill an official and rebel? If killing people could solve the problem, would it be your turn to do it? You're a hundred times worse than your eldest brother! What a good-for-nothing! You dare to disobey this old man's words? "
Lu Binzhi's face turned red, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Great-grandfather can say whatever you want, but grandson will not agree to this matter! This matter is between my Lu Family and that surnamed Yang. Old Master Li, please don't meddle in this matter! "
The old man was furious. He glared at him and said, "So what if I meddle in this matter?"
This time, before Lu Binzhi could say anything, Yang Fan rushed to answer, "Junior appreciates Old Master's good intentions. But regarding this matter, Junior also thinks that it is better for Senior to stay out of it. "
Great-grandfather Li restrained his anger and said indifferently, "It is a good thing for a young man to have courage and insight, but sometimes you cannot be too arrogant. Although you are an official, the Lu Family is a colossus that you cannot afford to provoke. "
Old Grandpa Li said, "It's not just you. For so many years, from Emperor Taizong to Emperor Gaozong, and now the Divine Empress, we, the aristocratic families, have always secretly opposed them, and there have also been times when we openly opposed them, but aren't we still fine?
We don't want to rebel, and the Emperor knows that we won't rebel. The Emperor wants to suppress us, but he can't leave us. We are the same. We can't let the Emperor suppress us, but we can't leave him either! Haha, in this big world, love and hate, friend and foe, it is impossible to distinguish. Take a step back, and the world will be wide open! "
Yang Fan said with a smile, "Junior also wants to take a step back, and the world will be wide open. But now that Junior wants to retreat, I will fall into the lake. Great-grandfather's great principles have nothing to do with Junior. Junior's way of doing things is very simple, and my thinking is also simple. Whoever wants me dead, I will kill that person! This junior only wants peace! "
Great-grandfather Li's white eyebrows rose, "This old man will make him swear in the name of the Lu Family's ancestors. No matter how naughty and mischievous this kid is, he will not dare to go back on his word. What do you think?"
"Old geezer, you are quite generous! For an outsider, you want my grandson to swear in the name of my Lu Family's ancestors? You can't make the decision for my Lu Family! This old man will not agree to this! "
Following a very domineering voice, a carriage was directly carried into the building. Four blue-robed men were carrying a brocade carriage. An old man sat on the carriage. His robes were similar to Great-grandfather Li's, simple and unadorned. The old man's frame was quite large, so even though he was old, he still appeared mighty.
Looking at his age, this old man was not inferior to Great-grandfather Li. However, his eyebrows, hair, and beard were still partially black. The black was like a silver frost, making him appear even more stern.
Great-grandfather Li was a bit surprised to see this person. "Why are you here? This rash matter couldn't have been ordered by you, right? "Great-grandfather Li glanced at Lu Binzhi and suddenly realized that this kid had called for reinforcements.
The four blue-robed men carried the carriage as if they were flying. When they arrived at the hall, their foreheads were already covered in sweat and they were short of breath. However, the four of them still carried the carriage steadily, bowed and gently put it down.
Lu Binzhi was overjoyed and quickly stood up to greet them. "Great-grandfather, you are here!"
Dugu Yu had already stood up at this time. He bowed to the old man and said respectfully, "Great-grandfather Lu!"
Ning Ke was delicate. Supported by the boatwoman-like attendant, she stood up like a weak willow facing the wind. She bowed to the old man, but did not say a word.
Although this girl was delicate, her temperament was a bit stronger than her brother's. Today, Lu Binzhi not only wanted to kill the Dugu Family's guests, but also wanted to kill the siblings to silence them. The girl did not say it out loud, but in her heart, she had already regarded the Lu Family as her enemy. She was already giving him face by bowing to him, so why would she call him anything else?
Everyone in the hall stood up and bowed, except for two people. One was Great-grandfather Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, and the other was Yang Fan.
The old man got off the carriage and glanced at Yang Fan. Yang Fan was sitting arrogantly on the table and did not even look at him.
The old man laughed and said, "How arrogant! You do have some of the demeanor of our Lu Family! Bin Zhi, you should learn from others. Don't bow and scrape and be timid all the time. You're losing face for our Lu family! "
Lu Binzhi's face was full of smiles and he repeatedly agreed. Great-grandfather Li's face turned a bit dark. Wasn't this obviously teaching his grandson a lesson, but actually slapping his face? Great-grandfather Li's face darkened and he said, "Lu Zhongjia, do you think your grandson's outrageous behavior is appropriate?"
Directly calling someone by their name was a sign of anger. Great-grandfather Lu's temperament had always been unruly. Otherwise, how could he have taught the arrogant and eccentric Young Master Jiang and the domineering Lu Binzhi? He knew that Great-grandfather Li was angry, but he did not give in. He said, "Young people will inevitably make mistakes. When you and I were young, weren't we also frivolous? When a child does something wrong, as an elder, you should give him some pointers and help him out. You shouldn't be siding with an outsider and side with an outsider. If you do that, are you worthy of your child calling you great grandfather? "
Lu Zhongjia glanced at Yang Fan and said, "A mere Ministry of Justice official is worth it for you to give up the friendship between the Lu and Li Family for generations? I have already heard about Binzhi's matter. He has already done something wrong. What should we do? Should we let him go? Kill him and throw him to the bottom of the lake. If he is alive, we won't see him, and if he is dead, we won't see his corpse. Won't that solve everything? "
Li Mubai said in a low voice, "This person cannot be killed!"
Lu Zhongjia raised his thick and white eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Why?"
Li Mubai said, "This child is not purely a member of the official family. It is all because of this child that the Southern Command's turbulent times have gathered. He has contributed greatly to us. He is one of us! "
"It's him?"
Lu Zhongjia revealed a look of understanding. He looked up and down at Yang Fan. Suddenly, he curled his lips and said harshly, "What ability does he have? He is just a pawn of ours, doing things under our control! "
Thinking of the fact that his most valued grandson was defeated by Shen Mu, and that there were many key reasons behind it, Lu Zhongjia hated Yang Fan even more. He turned to Li Mubai and said solemnly, "Old Li, no matter what, this person has already gone against my grandson. He must die!"
Li Mubai slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "This old man values this person greatly!"
Lu Zhongjia said, "Is it worth it for you to fall out with me for an outsider?"
Ning Ke was afraid that Li Mubai would be persuaded by Old Master Lu. She called out nervously, "Old Master!"
Ning Ke called out, but in her heart, she also knew that these elders of aristocratic families have spent their entire lives for the family and power. No matter how kind they usually appear, they are very cold-blooded people in their bones. Everything is for their own benefit. If necessary, they can even give up their own kinship.
Now that Lu Zhongjia's words were so serious, would Li Mubai fall out with the Lu family for Yang Fan? Ning Ke herself did not believe it. So her face was already pale. She called out Old Master Li, but her big eyes that could speak were constantly winking at Yang Fan, hinting him to quickly escape. Although it is not easy to escape, but … Old Master Lu is standing in the hall. Can't you think of taking him hostage?
However, Ning Ke kept winking at Yang Fan, but he still sat there steadily. He clearly saw her eyes but did not know whether it was because he could not react or because he still had hope for Old Master Li. Ning Ke was anxious and her forehead was dripping with sweat. But she could not shout. Once she shouted, it would be ineffective.
Lu Zhongjia stared at Li Mubai and slowly said, "My grandson was wrong, so he has to make the best of it. Once this person dies, everything will be over! This old man will owe you a favor, how about it? "
Yang Fan snorted and laughed. He slowly stood up and said with a smile, "What I hate the most in my life is those who regard other people's lives as worthless, arrogant and pretentious idiots! Usually I feel nauseous when I see one, but today I actually see a whole family. Is it because I did not look at the almanac when I went out today? "
Dugu Yu did not hold him back. Yang Fan had already stepped over from the table full of food and wine, "Your arrogant and ignorant grandson wants to kill me. You, this violent and unreasonable old bastard, discussed with others to kill me. From beginning to end, have you ever thought about asking if I agree or not?"
Yang Fan suddenly swung his hand and something flew out of his sleeve. It passed through the window and flew above Qu River. With a "bang", it exploded like a cluster of golden chrysanthemums blooming in the air!
