Chapter 238: Civil and Military Trial
"This is above the public court! If you deceive the court officials, you will be guilty of one more degree!"
Lu Dongzan nodded: "Of course I know this!"
The civil servant asked urgently: "Do you have any proof?"
Lu Dongzan nodded: "Yes!"
The civil official hurriedly left and right: "Untie up!"
Lu Dongzan let go of his hands, but he didn't move.
The civil official frowned: "What about the proof, bring it!"
Lu Dongzan smiled: "There is evidence, but it is all in the entourage." ”
"Oh, where are your retinue?"
"I'm on my way to Tibet. ”
"Oh, this is not the way to Tibet! are you saying your entourage is not on your side?"
Lu Dongzan nodded: "Yes." ”
"So what are you doing here alone?"
"I admired the famous mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, so I took a tour around. ”
The civil official laughed: "As an envoy, I didn't go back to restore my life, but I took the opportunity to travel in the mountains and rivers." It's the first time I've heard of it!"
Lu Dongzan smiled: "Aren't you preparing to go back?" ”
"But you don't have a clear certificate, I can't let you go!"
"It's easy, just catch up with my entourage and ask. ”
The military attache looked Lu Dongzan up and down: "Where are you in Tubo?
Lu Dongzan shook his head: "You look at me, I don't look like a military attaché." ”
The military attache nodded: "Yes, I don't think you look like a martial arts practitioner." But why is it capable of competing with dozens of sturdy Orions?"
Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly: "I don't have this ability! They robbed me, and I escaped!"
"Oh, but you dare to rob the envoys, how bold you are! Didn't you identify yourself to them?"
"I said it, but it didn't work. ”
The military attache stared at Lu Dongzan's face: "But the official document said that they helped you, and you didn't pay them, and you hurt them." ”
The civil official nodded: "Otherwise, it won't alarm Lord Taishou, but you will be said to be brave and abnormal in the official document, and it will be difficult to be a man!"
Lu Dong sighed in admiration and clenched his fists: "Two adults, it's like this: I passed through a mountain range and met a group of vicious wolves. My treasure has been devoured. So I asked the hunters under the mountain to kill the wolves and take their goods. The price was negotiated before. But they unreasonably raised the price after they got the treasure, and I didn't bring that much money. In desperation, he snatched the treasure and escaped. I don't want them to report to the government instead!"
The military attache narrowed his eyes: "You still say that you are not a person who practices martial arts, you can take back the treasure in the hands of dozens of hunters, and then retreat with your whole body." Even if it's an old man, it's not easy!"
Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly: "I'm just taking advantage of it, it's not a head-to-head confrontation." ”
The civil official's eyes lit up and he asked, "What kind of treasure is it?" ”
Lu Dongzan lowered his head.
A sergeant presented Lu Dongzan's belongings.
The civil official saw a bag of gold, a jade box, a sword, and a broken horsewhip. The civil official frowned: "There is a lot of gold, but it should not be the treasure you said." This jade box is good, it is a good piece of beautiful jade. Could it be that the treasure you are talking about is this jade box?"
Lu Dongzan shook his head: "No." ”
"Oh, which one is that?"
Lu Dongzan thought for a moment: "I fled too quickly, and the treasure was accidentally lost!"
The two officials looked at each other and laughed. The civil official asked, "Are you afraid that we will covet your treasures, or do you have other hidden secrets?"
Lu Dongzan shook his head: "Neither." ”
The civil official laughed: "It seems that you really have a problem! It has been clearly written in the official document that your so-called treasure is this jade box! You do not hesitate to hurt people for this object, it seems that it is really a treasure!" He looked through it carefully, and when he saw the gap, he wanted to break it with all his might.
"Don't move!" Lu Dongzan hurriedly shouted, startling the civil official.
"Why?" the civil official stared at Lu Dongzan's face.
"Because this box can't be opened!"
"Why?"
"My lord, it's really hard to explain to you. Trust me once, don't touch it!"
The civil official sneered: "Is it difficult to explain, or can't be explained? This official, it's going to be opened today!" said and started again.
"Don't, don't!" Lu Dongzan hurriedly said: "This thing is my Tibetan heirloom." I heard the elders say, 'If you take this thing with you, you will keep you safe, but if you open this box, you will be in great trouble.'"
The civil official laughed: "You are too good at lying! Today, the official ordered you to open this box in person, why do you dare to disobey?"
Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You can kill me, but let me open the box, I can't do it!
The civil official sneered: "Do you believe me to take risks?" He strained his hand, but immediately grinned - his own fingernails were almost torn off!
"Ah, why is it so hard?" The civil official looked at the jade box in a daze, and ordered the official next to him: "Open it for me!"
Several officials took the wheel and turned the petals, breaking their fingers to blood, but the jade box still didn't move!
"Give it to me!" the military attache slapped the table.
The civil official immediately smiled and said, "Let Lord Zhang take action, it's fine!" and asked the official to present the jade box to the military attaché.
The military attache took it and looked at it, and broke it with both hands. "Huh?" The military attaché's brows furrowed - the jade box still didn't move! " The military attache gritted his teeth and used all his strength in his hands, but the jade box still didn't shake at all! The military attache shook his head unwillingly: "This thing may not be opened like this." ”
The civil official was shocked: "You say, how do you open it?"
Lu Dongzan smiled helplessly: "My lord, I have already said it below, this thing can't be opened!
The civil official's eyes widened: "You are so bold! Do you know what kind of place this is, if you hide it, there will be a great punishment waiting!"
"My lord, what's the use of your torture? I don't know, I don't know. And no matter how valuable the jade box is, it is something outside the body, how can it be worth my life?"
The military attache put the jade box in front of the civil official: "Forget it, it's just a box of gold, how much can it be?"
The civil official let out a rough tone: "You said that you are an envoy of another country, although you don't know whether it is true or not, but you can't be neglected." It is said that you are an envoy, and we should be treated as guests. But you are also a murderer who hurts people, and although you have not found out the truth, you are still guilty of it. In this way, I will wronged you, and temporarily live in a high-class prison cell. Tomorrow I will send you to the capital, and you can face off with those hunters in the capital. How?"
Lu Dongzan smiled: "Everything is up to the adults." ”
The civil official then sent a message to the officials: "Choose the best prison room, clean it, and don't make it difficult for the envoy." ”
The official received the order, politely pulled up Lu Dongzan, and walked out.
"Slow!" As soon as they took a few steps, the civil official stopped: "You said that you are an envoy of another country, although you don't know whether it is true or not, you must not slack off." Now, a few of you, settle him in the inn and treat him as a guest. ”
