In this way, the merchant found an excuse. After secretly winking at the servants of the shop, he continued to fight against the people of the Xu family.

At that time, Xu Chang was highly valued by Xu You in terms of business. After Xu Chang's death, Xu Lu gradually became highly valued by Xu You.

When we were in Jizhou, even though the family's strength had been greatly weakened, as long as the Xu family's name was mentioned in the city, no one would dare not show shame. They didn't want to have to live such an embarrassing life after coming to Chang'an.

Coming down, this made Xu Lu a little unbearable.

Xu Lu decided to give these businessmen some color, and at the worst, they would compensate them some money. Xu Lu had done this before.

However, Xu Lu found that after teaching the businessman a lesson, he still could not make the businessman give in. The servants of the shop ran out, and Xu Lu did not stop him.

The merchant cursed loudly, which made Xu Lu even more angry. He was a well-known figure in the Xu family. He had never suffered such humiliation. The servants in the house even punched and kicked him, and even the items in the shop were severely damaged.

implicated.

After the soldiers who were patrolling the streets learned what happened in the shop, they rushed towards the shop as quickly as possible.

After seeing the situation inside the shop, five soldiers immediately took control of the situation.

Xu Lu stepped forward to defend himself, taking the merchant's insults to him as the reason for his attack, and secretly revealed their identities.

This kind of situation is obviously not suitable in Chang'an. Xu Lu also thought that the Xu family was a great family in the city because of Xu You's previous performance in the city and his bragging in the palace. It is expected that these soldiers would give them some face.

.As long as the patrolling soldiers or the officials handling this matter are a little biased, there won't be any problems.

When he was in Jizhou, Xu Lu relied on this method to deal with many difficult things, and Xu You valued him.

Xu Lu's cleverness and Xu You's arrogance got the Xu family involved in this matter.

The soldiers took these people to the government office without any explanation, including the family members of Xu You, the Minister of Rites, and the soldiers immediately informed the officials of the Supervisory Office about the situation.

The officials of the Inspectorate are secretly concerned about the Xu family. The Xu family's previous search for opportunities in the city has attracted the attention of the Inspectorate.

In order to show that he attached great importance to this matter, Tian Feng went there in person. After some interrogation, Tian Feng concluded that it was a member of the Xu family who relied on the power within the family to act arbitrarily.

These judgments were also recognized by the officials of the government office. The officials of the government office knew about Tian Feng's ability. Many people from aristocratic families fell into the hands of Tian Feng. If they were targeted by Tian Feng,

The family, even if it is immortal, still has to shed its skin.

If a member of an aristocratic family makes a mistake, if it is a minor mistake, the aristocratic family will not be greatly implicated, but it will also make the head of the aristocratic family look ugly, especially if someone from the aristocratic family is in the officialdom.

In the court hall the next day, after Tian Feng told the story, he pointed the finger at Xu You.

Because of such a trivial matter, Lu Bu naturally wouldn't say too much. Tian Feng was extremely strict when he was in charge of the inspector's office. He knew these things and he believed that Tian Feng would act in accordance with the law.

Although Xu You said that he was not punished by Lu Bu and lost face in front of the officials, you can imagine the anger in his heart. When he was an official under Yuan Shao, Xu You looked down on Tian Feng. Tian Feng's character was too

He was upright and would speak out about anything he saw without showing any mercy. He was disliked by the officials in Jizhou.

But Xu You understood that this was under Lu Bu's rule, and the situation would change completely.

What made Xu You most angry was that Xu Lu, who was responsible for this incident, was imprisoned.

Xu Lu is still relatively important to the current Xu family. After losing Xu Lu, it is still difficult for the Xu family to establish a foothold in Chang'an. Xu You naturally knows the importance of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, but if he wants

Entering the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is not a simple matter. When he was in Jizhou, Xu You wanted to get the Xu family to join the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, but he failed.

In fact, if Xu You loses face, relying on his reputation in Jizhou, he can still rent some shops from the Zhen family. The Zhen family participated in the construction of the market in Chang'an City.

When they were in Jizhou, the Zhen family was weaker than the Xu family. If Zhen Mi had not become Lu Bu's wife, the Zhen family would not be in the current situation. Xu You did not like the Zhen family very much.

Xu You personally went to Tian Feng's mansion, but he did not get the desired result. In the confrontation with Tian Feng, Xu You was completely defeated. At this time, Xu You had a feeling of worry. In Chang'an,

He is a rootless duckweed. It may only take Lu Bu's order to destroy the Xu family. From this incident, Xu You saw that Chang'an City's strict law enforcement was far beyond what Ye City could match.

The trees in Yecheng have deep roots and I have met many officials, which makes things a lot easier.

Through this incident, Xu You realized that it would be difficult for the family to survive in Chang'an City, much more difficult than under Yuan Shao. In fact, Xu You had long regretted his impulsive decision.

If it weren't for him, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to get Jizhou.

Because of Xu Lu's incident, Xu You went to the palace to ask for a meeting with Lu Bu, but he did not get the desired result.

The Xu family needs to survive in Chang'an City. In fact, if the Xu family starts from the basics, it is very possible to gradually develop in Chang'an City with the Xu family's family assets, but the people of the Xu family are used to it.

The days of turmoil cannot be changed even in Chang'an.

The businessman whom Xu Lu ordered his servants to beat in the shop returned home and died. When the officials of the Supervisory Office dealt with the matter very quickly, they sentenced Xu Lu to death.

This matter went through the Ministry of Punishment, and Li Ru approved it without much thought.

Li Ru is in charge of the Criminal Department, and there is cooperation between the Criminal Department and the Supervisory Office. Moreover, facing the Supervisory Office run by Tian Feng, even Li Ru has to be careful. Li Ru has experienced Tian Feng's character, not only

If you have means and strategies, you won't hide them.

Such officials may not be ostracized under the rule of other monarchs, but they are at home under Lu Bu. Li Ru understands Lu Bu's character.

After Xu Lu was beheaded, it deepened Xu You's hatred. However, this kind of thing is not a big deal in the eyes of the Chang'an family. Those who violate the law in the family are punished within reason. This is also the case in the family.

The reason why the middle man is so cautious is that if the family makes an unforgivable mistake, it will bring about the destruction of the family.
