Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1509

Although he was rejected by Shangguan, Lu Hu had long expected it wouldn't go so smoothly and had prepared himself mentally for it.

After all, relying solely on one's own feelings and guesses is hardly convincing, but Land Rover will not give up because of this.

He had already thought it through; at worst, he would just have to spend more time explaining, and he promised to take full responsibility if any problems arose.

So after Shangguan finished speaking, he immediately continued.

"Sir, if I am truly wrong, then whatever the old woman does, I will bear the responsibility alone. She is definitely the one with the problem."

"All we need to do is..."

Before Lu Hu could finish speaking, Shangguan waved his hand to interrupt him again and rejected his words very firmly.

"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. No matter what you say, I won't agree. If you're so capable, go find the Embroidered Uniform Guard and ask them to send someone!"

"But I must tell you, even His Majesty is taking this city-wide search very seriously. If you cause any trouble, you'll be in for a beating!"

"Get out of here now!"

Under Shangguan's merciless reprimand, Lu Hu didn't even have a chance to speak before being kicked out.

This put him in a difficult position; it was impossible for him to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, since they were not from the same system.

Those are the emperor's personal guards, and they always treat everyone else with a superior attitude. Even if he went there, they wouldn't pay him any attention.

Helpless, Lu Hu didn't know what to do next, even though he had several men under his command.

But with just these few people, if an operation were to actually be launched, not only would they fail to catch the person, but they would also all lose their lives.

It should be noted that the imperial court's order to search the entire city was not for ordinary thieves, but for the remnants of the White Lotus Rebellion.

Lu Hu was unaware that the imperial court was actually looking to arrest the White Lotus Daoist; he only thought they were some remnants of the White Lotus sect.

Even so, it was enough for him to take it seriously, because in his mind, all the people in the White Lotus Sect were madmen.

They are not only cunning but also fearless; if a fight breaks out, one of them could kill three of them.

Most importantly, if the White Lotus sect members didn't have some strength, would they dare to come to the capital alone?

They must be among the best in the White Lotus Sect. If we act rashly, the only outcome will be failure.

Not only would they lose their own and their subordinates' lives in vain, but they would also alert the enemy, allowing them to hide once again.

Looking at the room where he had been kicked out, Lu Hu sighed helplessly.

"Oh dear, what should I do? I can't really lead those brothers to their deaths! They're members of the White Lotus Cult!"

"There's no hope with the government office, and the Yingtian Prefecture and the Embroidered Uniform Guard won't bother with a nobody like me."

"After all, without solid evidence, if I can't even convince my superiors in my own department, no one else will believe me!"

As he silently pondered this, a surge of anger slowly rose within Lu Hu as he looked at Shangguan's room.

"You're just good at scheming and flattering! In terms of ability, you're not even a hair on my head. You're just a useless dog who holds a position without doing anything."

"Every day you go to work, you hide in your room drinking. If I didn't have a wife and children to support, I would definitely report you to the commander!"

After cursing inwardly for a while, Lu Hu finally had no choice but to admit defeat and silently turned to leave.

However, at that moment, a questioning voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Brother, may I ask where your Magistrate Zhao is? I have some questions to ask him."

"Um... Our Magistrate Zhao is here..."

Upon hearing the question, Lu Hu instinctively raised his hand and pointed to the room behind him as he responded.

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the room behind him was opened, and Magistrate Zhao strode out of the room.
