After the early dynasty dispersed, the officials gathered around Prime Minister Lu Cheng and chatted about state affairs as in the past.

Suddenly, I heard someone ask: Prime Minister Lu, what's wrong with your hand?

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Prime Minister Lu's hand.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Lu Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that I was accidentally injured when I caught the thief last night." It's just a minor injury, and it's no big deal.

After speaking, someone immediately said: There will be a thief who will enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal?

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Prime Minister Lu waved his hand and said, "It's just a thief."

Someone else asked: Can the thief be sent to the government?

Prime Minister Lu shook his head and said: The night was too dark, and I didn't see the figure being fled.

The man said with a "tsk" on his lips and said: The world is going down, even the thief can't be relaxed!

Everyone agreed.

At this time, Prime Minister Du Cheng in the distance came over. As early as just now, he heard the rumors, and the word "thief" caught his attention. As he approached, he asked in a loud voice, "What are the adults saying?"

Hearing the sound of talking from behind, Prime Minister Lu Cheng and the others all looked back, and Prime Minister Du Cheng had already walked to their near side.

One of them replied: It's Prime Minister Du, why haven't you gone back today?

Prime Minister Du tilted the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: Isn't it that when you see everyone standing here talking, you will come and take a look.

The man said "oh" and said, "I see."

Prime Minister Du turned his eyes to look at Prime Minister Lu and asked: Prime Minister Lu, I just vaguely heard the word "thief", I don't know what happened?

When Prime Minister Lu heard this, he nodded lightly and said: This matter is not bothered by Prime Minister Lao Du, it is just a trivial matter encountered in the house.

Prime Minister Du Cheng said: Hearing this, the Lu Mansion has been stolen! What kind of thief is so bold that he dares to go to the house of an important minister of the imperial court to steal, it is really lawless.

Prime Minister Lu Cheng said: It is indeed a bit surprising, the thief is either bold or instructed.

Hearing this, Prime Minister Du Cheng said "Oh?", the smile on his face dissipated, and said: "It's just a thief, how can it be that he was instructed by someone? Is the prime minister too suspicious?"

Prime Minister Lu looked at him, his face remained unchanged after hearing the words, and he smiled lightly: Prime Minister Du is right. It seems that I am really thinking too much.

Du Cheng replied: Of course. However, this land and water went on an expedition, and the Lu Mansion was robbed, and the world was really not peaceful. In the future, the prime minister will have to pay more attention!

Lu Chengdao: That's nature.

Then, Prime Minister Du Cheng said: You should also pay more attention. Maybe the next one to be burglarized will be your house.

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and walked away.

And Hu Guangwei, not waiting for tomorrow, left the Lu Mansion last night and went straight to the palace.

There were only Yuxuan and Sanren in the imperial study, and after Hu Guangwei was invited in, Sanren also withdrew.

Hu Guangwei stepped forward first and bowed: The last general will knock to see the emperor!

Yu Xuan sat behind the table, looked at him and said, "Get up."

After Hu Guangwei got up, he saw him standing still, so he said: Sit down and talk.

Hu Guangwei nodded and sat down on the chair next to him.

After sitting down, seeing Yu Xuan looking at him, he said: Your Majesty, something really happened in the Lu Mansion tonight. An assassin infiltrated Prime Minister Lu's study and assassinated him. When I arrived, the Prime Minister had already suffered a sword wound, but fortunately he was fine, but the Assassin was able to escape due to his prowess.

After listening to the words, Yu Xuan said: That letter turned out to be true. It seems that this matter was premeditated, what does Prime Minister Lu Cheng think of this matter?

Hu Guangwei said: After talking with Prime Minister Lu Cheng last night, Prime Minister Lu Cheng's opinion is that he can't make judgments easily. For the assassin, he is even more reluctant to think about it.

Yu Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: But this matter is definitely not that simple. Assassinating the prime minister, this is not something that anyone dares to do.

Hu Guangwei nodded and replied: That's true. With Prime Minister Lu Cheng's person, there will be no enemies. And that assassin, I fought with him, his martial arts are very high, unlike ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a killer. In my opinion, it should be the latter.

Yu Xuan nodded and said, "Go on."

Hu Guangwei continued: Since it is to buy murder, there is an employer, and the key lies in that employer. If you want the prime minister of a country to die, there must be some great meaning behind it.

Yuxuan Dao: Is this your opinion or what Lu Shui means?

Hu Guangwei smiled and said: What the emperor said is that what I said just now was what Lu Shui said to me. After seeing the letter, Lu Shui immediately noticed the strangeness, and immediately informed me, asking me to return to the court immediately.

Yu Xuan nodded and said, "I understand."

After speaking, he continued: The future will not matter for the time being. It's just that you have to go out of the city overnight to the border tonight, so that no one can know that you have returned.

When Hu Guangwei heard this, he got up and said: Yes.

Yu Xuan said again: Also, tell him that I will keep Lu Mansion safe and let him rest assured.

Hu Guangweidao: Yes. The end will understand.

After coming down this morning, Yu Xuan asked Sanren to call the first commander of the Imperial Forest Army, who was Lu Shui's cronies, and asked him to lead hundreds of people from the Royal Forest Army out of the palace to be responsible for the guards of the Lu Mansion.

Walking out of the palace gate, the coachman lifted the curtain, and Prime Minister Du Cheng got into the carriage.

The carriage just started to move, and Prime Minister Du Cheng's voice came from inside the car: Go back later, go to Zhang's house first.

The coachman said: Yes, sir.

When he arrived at Zhang's mansion, Prime Minister Du Cheng got out of the carriage, and without waiting for the gatekeeper at the door to ask, he walked into the mansion quickly. When the steward saw him in official uniform, he didn't dare to come forward to ask questions, so he waited for the steward to come. The housekeeper was coming out of the study, and he saw Prime Minister Du Cheng after walking a few steps, so he greeted him and brought him to the study.

In the study, Mr. Zhang sat behind the long table. He looked up slightly at the visitor.

Prime Minister Du walked in and sat down on the chair where he was entertaining.

Seeing this, the housekeeper looked at Master Zhang. I saw Master Zhang wave his hand slightly and let him go down.

After the housekeeper left, Prime Minister Du Cheng said: I heard that the Lu Mansion was robbed last night, I don't know what Master Zhang thinks?

Master Zhang naturally understood the meaning of his words, and said: The killer was sent over last night, but I didn't expect it to fail?

Prime Minister Du Cheng sneered and said: I'm afraid it's not powerless, but powerful and ineffective?

When Master Zhang heard this, he lowered his face and said: Is it too much for Prime Minister Du to say this? You and I benefit each other, helping you is helping me, how can Zhang not do his best!

Prime Minister Du Cheng said: In this case, Master Zhang should understand that now in the court, there is only one prime minister who can speak, not me. Only when the surname Lu is gone, what I say will be heard.

After hearing this, Master Zhang smiled flatteringly, and said: Why should Prime Minister Du Cheng be angry? The killer I invited is one of the best figures in the rivers and lakes, and it is not strange if even he fails, after all, he is a marshal, and it is not easy to get rid of him, and he needs to think in the long run.

After speaking, he saw that Prime Minister Du Cheng was silent, but he was no longer imposing. Then he continued: As for the layout of the military defense, the prime minister has to worry a lot. There's no waiting for anyone over there, and this murder thing has to be done over there.
