Seeing the Right Deputy Magistrate openly turn on the Lord Prefect, the other officials rose one by one and stood by his side.
Lu Yuan watched this unfold, completely unsurprised.
These officials were all the Right Deputy Magistrate's advisors or Guests.
Just then, the sounds of a fight erupted from the first floor.
As it turned out, it wasn't just Lu Yuan's close confidants dining on the first floor, but also the Right Deputy Magistrate's men.
When that group of men grabbed weapons from under their tables, Lu Yuan's confidants drew the Treasure Swords from their waists and moved to stop them.
The two groups clashed violently.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan's confidants hadn't brought any Rifles or artillery. The Rifles and artillery pieces that had just been brought in from outside the city yesterday were all stored at the Prefecture Yamen.
