On this day, Lu Wenyuan came to the lobby of the Criminal Department again to visit Yan Yong, but before he entered the door, he first saw the guard at the door arguing with a person.

Lu Wenyuan walked closer and took a closer look, and recognized that person was Lord Shen Lunshen, the left capital of the Imperial Palace. Lu Wenyuan has no intersection with him, he has only met a few times during the court meeting, although he has not spoken, but he is somewhat impressed. I saw that he was carrying a red lacquer carved food box in his hand, and at this time, Zhengqing excitedly argued with the guard: "I'm just here to bring some food to Lord Yan, put it down and leave, why don't you let me in?"

Those two guards were no longer the two who had blocked Lu Wenyuan before, and they all had a look of smiling at this moment, and said to Shen Lun: "My lord, Yan Yong is now a repeat offender in the imperial court, and it is strictly forbidden to contact outsiders, besides, you and Yan Yong have always been very close, and Lord Fan has clearly explained that you are not allowed to contact him privately." ”

Shen Lun said: "I'm really just here to deliver food, I don't believe you can take a look......" said, opened the red lacquer food box in his hand layer by layer, placed it on the ground, and motioned for the two guards to check: "There is nothing but food." ”

The two guards had no intention of checking at all. Shen Lun waited for a long time, and the atmosphere was awkward, so he had to say again: "If you really can't believe it, send someone to follow me, I'll put my things down and leave, and never say a word." Lord Yan is old, and I am afraid that the pain of prison will not be bearable, so the two of you are doing well, so let Shen go in and take a look. "When it comes to this, I don't care about my status at all. Lu Wenyuan saw him squatting on the ground, spreading out his hands to protect the open food box, and he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Who knew that the two guards didn't pity him at all, and only smiled blindly: "Lord Shen is not too young, how can he only think about others, but not himself?

Shen Lun saw that he couldn't beg, his expression suddenly darkened, but he didn't give up, he cleaned up the food box, and said: "Otherwise, Shen has some silver money in his hand now, take it with the two of you first, as long as the two of you send this food box to Lord Yan, Shen will definitely come to the door to thank you in the future." As he spoke, he shoved the silver and food box in his hand into the guard's hand.

The guard just didn't answer, and sneered: "Lord Shen is like this, and the little ones dare not respond." Otherwise, if Master Fan finds out in the coming day and ends up like Yan Yong, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?" Shen Lun forcibly held the silver and the food box in his hands, and with such a draw, there was no place to borrow power, and they were scattered one after another.

Lu Wenyuan's eyes were quick, and at this time, he stepped forward and held the food box, so he didn't pour it. The handful of broken silver was scattered all over the ground, so it was not embarrassing.

The three of them were stabbed horizontally by Lu Wenyuan, and they were all stunned, and the two guards reacted quickly, and immediately reached out to touch the waist knife, glaring and saying angrily: "Who are you?"

Lu Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "Lu Wenyuan, the servant of the ministry." ”

He just saw that the two guards were Fan Zhefu's people, and they were both under Fan Zhefu's orders, so there should be no reason not to know him. Sure enough, the two guards were stunned when they heard this, and then they put on a smiling face and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Lord Lu." The little ones don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, but they have seen Lord Lu. ”

Lu Wenyuan nodded, didn't bother to salute them, only handed the food box back to Shen Lun's hand, and said to him: "I have just been here for a while, and I know that Lord Shen wants to meet Lord Yan now, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." But if Lord Shen is willing, why don't you hand over the food box to Lu, and Lu will forward it on his behalf?"

Shen Lunsu and Yan Yong are close, how could they not know that Lu Wenyuan and Fan Zhefu are in the same party, and only then did they see that the two guards were respectful to him, so he was even more sure. With such a person, how can he be so kind to help himself, I am afraid that there will be fraud in it. After hesitating for a moment, he still declined: "No need." Shen came here rashly, it was not right, how dare he work for Lord Lu. Shen took his leave. ”

How could Lu Wenyuan not know his thoughts, but it was reasonable for him to guard against himself, and stretched out his hand to grab him and said, "Lord Shen is afraid that Lu will do tricks and feet in the meal and murder Lord Yan, right? Lord Shen is too worried." After thinking about it, he said, "If Lord Shen wants to see Lord Yan, it's not impossible. Only Lu will lead the way for adults. ”

Shen Lun had already made up his mind, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and asked hesitantly, "Is Lord Lu serious?"

Lu Wenyuan smiled: "Naturally, take it seriously. ”

Shen Lun involuntarily turned around and walked back, but the two guards were anxious when they heard this, and stopped Lu Wenyuan and said, "Lord Lu, don't do it." Master Fan had already ordered that Yan Yong was strictly forbidden to contact outsiders, not to mention that this Shen Lun was still Yan Yong's fellow party. Lord Lu's move really makes the little ones not good at being people. ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "What's so bad about being a person." When Fan Zhefu asked in the coming day, you told the truth, whatever responsibility there is, I am the only one who bears it, and I have nothing to do with you. With that, he pulled Shen Lun and walked straight to the door.

The two guards saw that he had already said this, and they couldn't stop it no matter how much they were afraid, so they had to hesitantly let the two in. Shen Lun followed behind Lu Wenyuan nervously with the food box, thinking that in the lobby of the Criminal Department, I am afraid that Fan Zhefu's eyeliner is everywhere, and the two of them will reach his ears in the near future, so he couldn't help but be a little afraid in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Lu is like this today, aren't you afraid that Fan Zhefu will know?"

Lu Wenyuan turned his head and smiled: "Lord Shen is not afraid, what is there to be afraid of my Lu?" Shen Lun was provoked by his words, and also remembered that when he first came, he had the idea of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, and only wanted to meet Yan Yong, and he didn't regret how he was disposed of by Fan Zhefu after that. In this case, what is so terrible, at the moment raise your head and chest, only feel the word righteousness.

The two of them found all the way to the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, and because Zhao Yongning had greeted the jailer in advance, he would let Lu Wenyuan go no matter when he came to visit the prison, so he entered the prison very smoothly. After walking down the dark and damp aisle for a while, Yan Yong's cell arrived.

Lu Wenyuan took a torch from the wall and took a photo, and saw that Yan Yong was still shrinking in the corner when he came last time, as if he had never moved, but the description was obviously much darker, and the whip marks on his body were also increasing. Where had Shen Lun seen Yan Yong look like this, he was so grief-stricken at the moment that he threw himself in front of the cell door, grabbed the wooden fence and cried.

Yan Yong heard the sound, slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was obviously excited, and moved to the side of the cell door with his body, hugging Shen Lun in a pile, hugging his head and crying. Lu Wenyuan only felt sad when he saw this situation, so he stepped aside by himself, leaving only the two of them to talk alone.

said that the two cried for a while, and they gradually calmed down. Shen Lun pushed the food to Yan Yong one by one, but Yan Yong had no appetite, and he barely ate two bites, but he didn't know the taste of food, so he put down the chopsticks and asked Shen Lun, "How did you get in this time?"

Shen Lun thought of Lu Wenyuan at this time, and raised his eyes to look for it, but found that he had already stood in the far corner, as if he had deliberately left space for himself and Yan Yong to talk, and his heart couldn't help but be moved: "It's not Lu Wenyuan Lord Lu, if it weren't for him as a guarantor, I'm afraid I would have been driven out by the two guards this time." ”

Yan Yong frowned and said: "This Lu Wenyuan is really strange, he is obviously a person on Fan Zhefu's side, but he helps us openly and secretly, and he doesn't know what An's heart is." ”

Shen Lun said: "I guess he is pretending to be attached to Fan Zhefu. That Fan Zhefu was corrupt*, did business illegally, and brought disaster to the country and the people, he would not have known that this move was probably aimed at secretly collecting evidence so that he could be brought down in one fell swoop in the future. ”

Yan Yong said: "I also thought so, but it may also be that there is a suspicion." That Fan Zhefu was scheming, and he instructed Lu Wenyuan to deliberately test our truth for this purpose. Now the situation is unclear, before distinguishing friend from foe, you and I must not be gullible to Lu Wenyuan, and we need to continue to observe secretly. ”

Shen Lun nodded yes.

At this time, Lu Wenyuan, who was in the distance, was worried about something else.

It turned out that these days, he had hidden several pieces of Fan Zhefu asking for Yan Yong's execution, and it was okay at first, the emperor didn't read the music, and Fan Zhefu naturally couldn't blame him, but now that the emperor has approved the music, he has more and more trouble finding a reason. A few days ago, it was only deduced that it was a missed approval, and now the emperor is stubborn and absurd, half-heartedly when watching the recital, and it is common to lose three or four, but one day or two days is acceptable, and after a long time, Fan Zhefu will inevitably suspect it, and yesterday he had given a death order, so that Lu Wenyuan would choose this recital and hand it over separately, so that the emperor would have a special approval, so that he would not be able to go on a business trip again.

Lu Wenyuan looked at Yan Yong from a distance at this time, and only said that his lifespan was probably over tomorrow, and he only felt worried and sighed in his heart, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he just blindly worried. Another thought thought that he had brought Shen Lun in privately today, and when he asked in the coming day, I am afraid that it would be another trouble, and my heart suddenly sank to the bottom, how can I be desperate.

But this despair soon came to an end because of a major event, that is, the leader of the Northwest Warat tribe, Chakhasu, personally came to Beijing to pay tribute.
