When Zhao Zhengxiang heard this, he immediately walked out of the crowd, bowed to Zhou Changan with Wu Tong, and said, "Yes, the emperor, the ministers obey the order!"

Zhou Changan nodded, thinking that the matter was over, and was about to retreat. Unexpectedly, Zhou Changying took another step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the white father-in-law in the courtier's mansion fought with the fleeing assassin that day, and once used a hidden weapon to penetrate the assassin's left hand, please send someone to search the entire capital, be sure to find the assassin, and punish the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Zhao Zhengxiang also immediately echoed: "Emperor Qi, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is right, if this assassin is not found for a day, the ministers will not be able to rest assured, Wan'er is not only the beloved disciple of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the only concubine of Prime Minister Lin, the only granddaughter of the minister, but also the princess Wanxin who is personally crowned by the emperor, shouldering the heavy responsibility of envoying to Xiling Kingdom, if Wan'er has any mistakes...... Chen really didn't even dare to think about it. ”

Zhou Changan took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "Then according to Zhao Aiqing, where should this case be investigated, and where should we start? The city-wide search not only caused panic among the people, but also made the hope too slim, which is really not a good strategy. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang had already made up his mind, bowed to Zhou Chang'an, and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the assassin has appeared in the Lu Guo Mansion, then you should start with the Lu Guo Mansion. Even if the Assassin had fled, he would have left traces of his former hideout. The minister thought that without further ado, he asked the emperor to immediately order that the minister should be allowed to personally bring people to search the mansion of the Duke of Luguo. ”

As soon as these words came out, before Zhou Chang'an could express his position, Lu Zhenting had already jumped up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not! Several daughters in the minister's family are still waiting in the boudoir, especially Manting, who is now over fifteen years old. If she goes through another search of the mansion, how can she live! Please ask the emperor to be sympathetic to the poor daughter of the ministers......"

Lu Zhenting was obviously using Zhou Chang'an's marriage and marriage destruction to play the emotional card, Zhou Chang'an was displeased, but he couldn't say that Lu Zhenting was not here.

In any case, Zhou Changan used the marriage of Zhou Tianqi and Lu Manting to force Zhou Tianqi to hand over the military talisman of the imperial army, although later because Zhou Tianqi did not get the military talisman of the imperial army, he did not succeed.

Zhou Changan originally thought that he was just a side concubine, and Zhou Tianqi would not disobey the order. However, the result of the matter was not so, Zhou Changan was forced by pressure from all sides, and for various reasons, he finally dissolved their marriage contract under the pretext of excuses.

Of course, in the whole thing, the most innocent and most affected person is Lu Manting. After this incident, the Lu family remained silent and did not ask Zhou Changan for a theory. Therefore, Zhou Changan still feels guilty about the Lu family.

And at this moment, Lu Zhenting mentioned this matter again in front of so many people, obviously blaming Zhou Changan, which made Zhou Changan feel very embarrassed, and it was regarded as wiping out all of Zhou Changan's previous guilt towards the Lu family.

However, Lu Zhenting's move did play a certain role. Not only did Zhou Changan lose face and send troops to search the Lu Guogong Mansion, but even the other officials present began to discuss and sympathize with the Lu family and Lu Manting.

Zhou Changying frowned, and said bluntly: "Lu Guogong has always been resentful of the emperor's previous will when he brought out the matter of the emperor's marriage at this moment, or does he want to use this to influence the emperor's decision?"

Lu Zhenting was shocked when he heard this, shook his head again and again, and explained: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has misunderstood, the minister has no such intention, the minister just feels sorry for his daughter, and hopes that the emperor will sympathize with the minister's difficulties and understand the minister's love for his daughter." ”

Zhao Zhengxiang said lightly: "Lord Lu, above the court, please put your official affairs first! Although Miss Lu's reputation is important, the life safety of Princess Wanxin is even more important, defending the majesty of the criminal law of my Great Feudal Country, catching the assassin as soon as possible, and letting the people of my Great Feudal Kingdom live in peace and mind is the most important thing." ”

Zhou Changan nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhao Zhengxiang's words, but did not speak. Because he knew that Lu Zhenting would never allow anyone to enter the Guogong Mansion to search, not only because the women in the Guogong Mansion were precious, but also because the countless secrets of the Lu family hidden in the Guogong Mansion could never be known by outsiders.

Of course, Zhou Changying also knows this. Speaking of which, Lu Zhenting is still Zhou Changying's cousin, and the two families were relatively close when they were young. However, in the tragedy of the destruction of the Ning Mansion more than ten years ago, the Lu family, as the driving force behind the scenes, was tantamount to single-handedly pushing hundreds of lives of the Ning family to the guillotine. At this point, Zhou Changying hated all the people in the Lu family to the core, and he no longer had any contacts. Even when they met, they were like enemies, and their eyes were very red.

Lu Zhenting listened to Zhao Zhengxiang's words, his eyes immediately widened, he glared at Zhao Zhengxiang angrily, and said hatefully: "Lord Zhao, you are a personal vendetta in the communiqué, a fake public for personal gain! In order to catch the assassin who assassinated your granddaughter, you even disregarded the reputation of my Lu family's daughter and the face of my Lu family, and wanted to lead troops to search my Lu Guogong's mansion. If it were you, would you allow outsiders to enter your Zhao Mansion and search wantonly?"

Zhao Zhengxiang snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "My Zhao Mansion will never harbor assassins, let alone do anything unseemly, I am not afraid of searching!"

Lu Zhenting was immediately furious, so angry that he stretched out his hand to push Zhao Zhengxiang, raised his leg and kicked at Zhao Zhengxiang, and shouted loudly: "You are spewing blood! When did my Lu Guogong Mansion harbor assassins? How did you do anything unseemly?"

Zhao Zhengxiang did not show weakness, and pushed Lu Zhenting to the ground with a wave of his hand, and said coldly: "Since there is nothing unseemly, why don't you dare to let the old man take someone to search?"

Lu Zhenting also roared angrily: "Why should I let you search? I won't let you search! Unless you take the Yulin Army to look at the corpses of hundreds of people from our Lu family!"

Although Zhao Zhengxiang is more than ten years older than Lu Zhenting, he is agile and uses static braking, allowing Lu Zhenting to use both hands and feet, and he has not touched a corner of Zhao Zhengxiang's clothes.

Of course, if the two sides really use force, Lu Zhenting may not be able to defeat Zhao Zhengxiang, but Lu Zhenting intends to disturb the court and prevent Zhou Changan from ordering the search of Lu Guogong's mansion, not really looking for Zhao Zhengxiang to be angry.

On the contrary, after Zhao Zhengxiang pushed Lu Zhenting to the ground, Lu Zhenting sat on the ground and couldn't get up, crying to Zhou Changan: "Your Majesty, look at Lord Zhao, relying on his high position and power, and his old age, he actually relied on the old and betrayed the old, beating his colleagues in the court, and he had no king's law, was bold, and despised the emperor's heavenly might!"
