Chapter 198: Does the Lu Family have a connection with Lord Xiang?

Who knows, the two soldiers waved their hands, "No, it's fine. Shopkeeper Lu is busy. There are still matters to attend to here. Let's resolve this matter first." As they spoke, both of their gazes fell upon the servant sitting on the ground. The servant's face was filled with shock. When he heard that the two officials had come to deliver gifts to the Lu Family, he began sweating profusely. Now, facing the inquiring gazes of the two officials, his whole body trembled. To make matters worse, the leading soldier asked him, "Where did we stop just now? Tell me in detail, what exactly happened." The servant didn't dare to speak and could only tremble, shaking his head in panic, "I... I don't... I don't know..." "Don't know?" The soldier's voice instantly grew louder, and his expression turned unfriendly. "There's a person unconscious in your arms, and now you're telling me you don't know what happened?" The servant was on the verge of tears and could only look towards Lü Dong, who was still pretending to be unconscious. Lü Dong's forehead was also covered in sweat, and he felt uneasy as well. In the past, it would have been fine. Their Lü Family had deep roots in this county and had established good relationships with the local officials, even becoming close with the constables in the county office. Otherwise, their clothing store wouldn't be the only dominant one in Jiangyuan County. However, the former county magistrate had been arrested, and the constables who had committed offenses were thrown into jail. The remaining yamen servants were too afraid to show themselves. Lü Dong didn't know the newly arrived Lord Xiang, let alone the two soldiers standing before him who were brought by Lord Xiang. Why? Why were they connected to the Lu Family? Lü Dong closed his eyes, quickly thinking of a plan in his mind. After a moment, he made a slight movement, struggled a bit, and slowly opened his eyes, putting on a bewildered expression. "What happened? What's going on? Did I faint?" Shu Yu said, "..." Your acting skills are quite eye-catching. The servant, on the other hand, shouted dramatically, "Dong Master, you finally woke up. You scared me to death." Lü Dong rubbed his temple and stood up with the help of the servant. The two soldiers looked at him with a half-smile, half-smirk expression. "Since you've awakened, it's your turn to explain. What exactly happened?" Lü Dong wore a pained expression and furrowed his brow. "I remember, I was walking hurriedly just now. It was probably hot, and I was overcome by heatstroke. It's nothing, nothing at all. I'll go back and lie down, and I'll be fine." "Is that so?" "Of course not." Someone in the crowd quickly shouted. In this world, there is never a shortage of people who enjoy watching the excitement and take pleasure in others' misfortune. Previously, the Lü family had a strong influence, and they relentlessly criticized the Lu family, who had no background, claiming that they had accepted bribes and made the Lu family furious. Now that they found out the Lu family had a good relationship with the newly arrived county magistrate, they immediately shifted their direction and placed all the blame on the Lü family. Soon enough, someone openly congratulated the Lu family on their opening, but intentionally criticized the value of the Lu family's store in front of everyone at the door. Afterwards, the Lü family was refuted by the people from the Lu family when they couldn't win an argument with the young girl. They immediately pretended to faint, tarnishing the reputation of the Lu family and the young girl, making the whole cause and effect clear. They practically portrayed the Lü family as unforgivable villains. The Lü family was furious and wanted to retort, but the onlookers didn't give him a chance. (End of this chapter)
