Since both sides had their own "strong" evidence, they naturally had to come up with new evidence.
However, if Lan Liming knew how to fake, so did Lu Fei. Therefore, Lan Liming's complaint was not valid. His face was full of resentment. Just as he was about to end the matter, Lu Fei spoke, "My Lord, Lan Liming's younger sister, Lan Xiaohua, conspired with Lu Qing to seize my father's property for many years. During this period, Lan Xiaohua continuously took the Lu family's money to buy land for Lan Liming, causing the Lu family to lose a lot of money. I demand compensation."
Lan Liming's eyes widened. He never thought that Lu Fei would actually turn the tables and accuse him. He hurriedly said, "My Lord, this kid is spouting nonsense. Please don't listen to his slanderous words."
Lu Fei looked at him and said, "Then Lan Liming, where did you get the money to buy land all these years? Your family's grain is all stored in the good warehouse and not sold. Where did you get the money to buy land? Did you steal it? "
Just as Lan Liming was about to speak, Lu Fei said, "Lan Xiaohua has been occupying my Lu family for more than ten years. Everyone in the Lu family can see it. If you want witnesses, I can find a hundred. What else do you have to say!" The last sentence was shouted loudly, scaring Lan Liming into not knowing how to refute.
County Magistrate Liu slammed the gavel again and shouted, "Lan Liming's younger sister embezzled the Lu family's property. Detain Lan Liming and ask that person to pay compensation to redeem him. Withdraw from the court."
"My Lord, my Lord …" Lan Liming hurriedly called out. County Magistrate Liu had already left the court. Only then did Lan Liming realize that Lu Fei must be behind this. He immediately pointed at Lu Fei and cursed, "You bastard!"
Lu Fei looked at him indifferently and said, "Spit out everything that you've taken. This time, I'll make you pay with all your family's property."
Lan Liming's face turned pale when he heard that. Only now did he realize how powerful this young man was.
Lu Fei had long prepared a list of reparations and secretly presented it to Magistrate Liu. Magistrate Liu immediately wrote a document, stamped it with his official seal, and sent it to the Lan Li Ming family. If it was not delivered within three days, he would forcibly sell off the Lan family's land as compensation. How could the Lan family dare to oppose the government? They could only accept this. Within three days, they sold off a lot of their land and gathered enough money to redeem the Lan family. This time, the Lan family instantly changed from a local tyrant to a downtrodden peasant family. Not only did they sell off all the land they had embezzled from the Lu family over the years, they even lost a lot of their own land. When other people heard of this matter, they discussed it one after another. It was precisely this: The retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow. There is no door to fortune or misfortune, only man can summon it.
Lu Fei received a large sum of money this time. He gave County Magistrate Liu twenty percent of the money, and used the rest to purchase iron materials. He ordered people to secretly forge swords, spears, swords, and halberds in preparation for the future war.
When this matter was settled, Lu Fei ordered Lu Xin to continue recruiting servants. He requested that all of them be physically strong to serve as the Lu family's guards. At the same time, he set up a porridge stall in front of the residence to help the beggars and poor children nearby. When others saw this, they naturally praised him.
One day, Lu Fei was invited to Zhang Fei's residence as a guest. He brought some servants on horseback and rushed out of the city. There were already people on the road to receive them. They brought Lu Fei and his group to a manor in front of them. The manor was located in front of a field of peach trees. Zhang Fei was standing at the door to welcome them. When he saw Lu Fei, he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Lu is finally open. I missed you so much.
Let's drink. "Lu Fei walked into the manor side by side with him. Zhang Fei immediately ordered people to slaughter pigs and sheep and prepare food. He and Lu Fei drank wine in the hall. Lu Fei looked at his manor and said, "I didn't expect Brother Lu's manor to be so big."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's all the property left behind by my late father. Brother Lu is a man of great talent and bold vision. Your estate is getting bigger and bigger. I can't compare."
Lu Fei said, "Brother Lu enjoys drinking wine in the peach trees every day. That's something I can't enjoy."
Zhang Fei said, "What are you talking about? As long as Brother Lu is willing, you can come to my peach trees every day to drink. I will definitely accompany you."
Lu Fei smiled and changed the topic. "Two days ago, I wanted to see Brother Lu's martial arts. In the end, I was too drunk to do so. Can you fulfill my wish this time?"
"Alright, let's compare notes." Zhang Fei stood up and said, "Bring me my spear."
Lu Fei saw Zhang Fei's steel-needle-like beard trembling up and down. He felt a little apprehensive and hurriedly said, "Brother Lu's martial arts are low. I'm afraid I won't be able to last one round against you." He saw that Zhang Fei looked like an old man. It was really awkward for him to always call him Brother Lu.
Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
At this time, the servants brought over a spear. Lu Fei took a saber from the weapon rack in the courtyard. The two of them stood in the middle of the courtyard. The servants on the side all stopped to watch. Zhang Fei held the spear horizontally and said, "My spear technique is passed down from my family. There are a total of one hundred and nine moves. It's called Star One Hundred and Nine Strikes."
Lu Fei held his saber horizontally and said, "Brother Lu's saber technique was learned by chance. It's just that I haven't practiced it to perfection yet."
Zhang Fei immediately thrust his spear towards Lu Fei and said, "Be careful." He knew that Lu Fei's internal energy was not strong enough. Therefore, he did not use any internal energy in this attack. He purely used his strength to stab. Even so, the momentum was still astonishing. Lu Fei hurriedly held his saber horizontally to parry. Zhang Fei's spear tip shook. Immediately, countless cold rays of light shot towards Lu Fei. It was indeed worthy of being called Star One.
However, although Lu Fei did not have any internal energy, his eyes were still there. He brandished his saber and hacked into the other party's endless spear shadows. Only a loud "dang" sound was heard. The two of them retreated together. Zhang Fei was surprised and said, "Brother Lu Fei's strength is not small either."
Lu Fei laughed and said, "You're not bad either."
Zhang Fei once again thrust his spear towards Lu Fei and said, "It's just that I gained some strength from killing pigs. Look at my attack again."
Lu Fei saw that the spear's momentum was uncertain. It constantly changed in the air, making it impossible for people to know where the spear was going to stab. Lu Fei shouted, "This attack is well done." As he said that, he hacked his saber in the air and hit the tip of Zhang Fei's spear.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Brother Lu Fei has good eyesight. Delightful."
In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged more than a hundred moves. Lu Fei relied on his superior eyesight and the strange moves of the Blood Saber Technique. From beginning to end, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position. Zhang Fei's set of spear techniques had also been used. The two of them stopped fighting. Zhang Fei was full of admiration for Lu Fei. He praised, "If Brother Lu Fei had superior internal energy, you would definitely be a master. Brother Lu Fei's family has passed down some Qi cultivation techniques. If Brother Lu Fei does not mind, I might as well teach them to you."
Lu Fei laughed and said, "I appreciate Brother Lu Fei's kindness. I won't hide it from you. Before this, I had a master and learned a profound internal energy technique. It's just that I did not have the time to practice it."
