As soon as Lu Zhiyao's words were finished, Wanyue immediately squeaked, and ran out of the room after replying to her two sentences. Lu Zhiyao smiled and ate something, and after cleaning up, he went out and came directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Zhiyao had just come back with Lin Yinan two days ago, so she reappeared so quickly that Lu Yuanzheng was sure that she was in trouble. And Lu Zhiyao didn't bother to speak, and after entering the room with Lu Yuanzheng, he said straight to the point: "Dad, I came back today to ask you about the Gu family and the Chu family. ”

Lu Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, he had been watching the excitement of the two families, but he didn't expect Lu Zhiyao to want to meddle in this matter.

"This is the ...... Something to do with the Eight Emperors' Mansion? Lu Yuanzheng asked with a hesitant frown.

"It doesn't matter, it's something I'm curious to ask."

Lu Zhiyao's answer did not convince Lu Yuanzheng that the word "curiosity" alone was not enough for her to come and ask in person, and it was still this kind of time when she shouldn't be nosy.

"The Chu family has helped me a lot, so I want to return this favor." Lu Zhiyao added another sentence after a pause, and asked softly at the sight of the expedition on the land, "Dad, I heard that the imperial court has been arresting fugitives recently, how much do you know about this matter?" ”

Lu Yuanzheng pondered for a moment, thought about what he knew, and replied, "You mean that the Criminal Department sent people to search the capital recently?" ”

Lu Zhiyao nodded, and Lu Yuanzheng said embarrassedly: "I don't know, I just heard that it seems that the emperor personally gave Han Mu an edict, and no one else knows the truth about it." ”

"Then the soldiers in charge of the search should know who they are looking for, right? Otherwise, even if you search door to door, isn't it just a time-consuming search? ”

"I haven't asked about this, but the people in the Criminal Department are very tight, especially this kind of thing that is directly related to the emperor, I think it's even more difficult to ask."

Lu Zhiyao tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled silently. The people over there are tight-mouthed, and even Lan Ruoya, who is in the Criminal Department, doesn't know the inside story, and can still expect to ask anything from the mouths of those officers and soldiers who can only do three-legged cat kung fu. In Lu Zhiyao's opinion, those people are just pawns used by the Criminal Department to disrupt everyone's sight.

"Dad, help me pay attention to this matter, I want to know the truth of the road. Remember, don't let unrelated people know that we're investigating this matter, especially the people on the Prince's side, I'm afraid you're in any danger. ”

Lu Yuanzheng's heart sank after Lu Zhiyao said this, but there was no way, even if he was afraid of death, but Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth, and he couldn't help it.

"How can I contact you after I find out?" Lu Yuanzheng asked worriedly: "Those people from the queen shouldn't be able to evacuate for a while, right?" ”

"I'll find time to come back, those people don't bother, when it's time to leave, they will naturally leave."

Lu Zhiyao returned to the Eight Emperors Mansion after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she didn't stop moving. sent Ling Yi to Ye's house to pass a message to Ye Zhihua, asking Ye Zhihua to cooperate with Lu Yuanzheng to investigate the matter. Ye Zhihua may have more eyes and ears in the court than Lu Yuanzheng, and this is the first thing Lu Zhiyao has done to him since he came to Lin Yinan's hands, so she feels that Ye Zhihua will definitely work hard to complete it, in order to show his loyalty and ability.

After the joint investigation of Lu Yuanzheng, Ye Zhihua and Lan Ruoya, as well as some news revealed by Li Muchen, the truth of the matter gradually became clear.

Lu Zhiyao sat alone in the house thinking about the ins and outs of the matter, and found that this capital was really a place of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

It is true that Han Mu, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, is a person from the prince's side, otherwise Lan Ruoyan would not be excluded in this matter. As far as Lu Zhiyao knows, Han Mucai has been sitting in this position for less than three years. Now it seems that in the past three years, the benefits he has received from the Gu family should not be less, otherwise he would not have helped them so much.

Lu Zhiyao had always known that the Chu family and the Gu family had a very strong background, but he never thought that the Chu family would be so rich. Although the Gu family is a little worse than the Chu family, no matter how bad it is, it will not be much worse. As soon as this incident is over, what should the Gu family's family business do? There are no one in the Gu family anymore, and it will be too expensive to hand it over to the imperial court......

"Ma'am." Yudie, who came in from outside, disrupted Lu Zhiyao's thoughts, walked to the table, Yudie took some fruit and handed it to Lu Zhiyao, frowned and asked in a low voice, "When will those guards in the house leave?" Suddenly, there were so many more people, and they died awkwardly. ”

"These people were specially sent to us by the queen, so they are useful to keep, so don't worry."

The smile on the corner of Lu Zhiyao's mouth made Yudie's heart feel at ease, and after following Lu Zhiyao's side for a long time, his heart also followed wild. Now that he sees that the master is confident, Yudie is also relieved to wait to see the excitement. What Lu Zhiyao, Lin Yinan and the others are busy with every day, Yudie doesn't know what to do, but she knows in her heart that if these two people do it together, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.

In the dead of night, Lu Zhiyao talked about the Gu family after Chu Ziqian, Li Muchen and others arrived.

"It's true that the Criminal Department wants to deal with you, but it's true that they want to find someone." Lu Zhiyao looked at Chu Ziqian in front of him by the faint candlelight, and said in a clear voice: "If I guess correctly, the person they are looking for is someone from the Xia family." I don't know where they got the news that Xia Han didn't die, but I don't care so much, I must save Xia Han's life. The affairs of the Gu family will be handled by me, and if it is a last resort, I can only poison them. ”

"The meaning of the Eighth Imperial Concubine is ...... Kill all the people in the Gu family? Li Muchen frowned and looked at Lu Zhiyao, not thinking that this was a good way. If it's just to kill someone, there is no need for her to intervene at all, any of them can do it, and if they do it at this time, it will definitely make the people of the capital feel panicked, there are a lot of people who have died recently, and if it really makes a big fuss, the emperor will not sit idly by, what does Lu Zhiyao plan to do when the time comes?

"It's going to be killed, yes, it's just not all killed." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, and said what he had thought before. "Gu Ran will die, completely because of his younger brother Gu Shi. For the sake of the Gu family's family business, he colluded with Mrs. Gu to do this kind of thing, I am not surprised, after all, this is a piece of fat, not only the Gu family's own people, even outsiders will want to eat two bites when they see it. But if all the people of the Gu family are removed, I am afraid that this piece of fat will fall into the hands of the imperial court, and it will be a pity at that time. So I want to kill Gu Shi and leave Mrs. Gu behind. ”

"You want to control the Gu family?" Chu Ziqian tried hard to follow Lu Zhiyao's train of thought, he never thought that Lu Zhiyao would have such ambitions. turned his head to look at Lin Yinan, who had never made a sound, he was still sitting there expressionlessly, listening to the conversation of several people with an elegant posture.

"Why not? There's no reason why we shouldn't want the money delivered to our door. Even if we don't want it, the Gu family may not be able to hold on. Now that your Chu family is here, the Gu family no longer has Gu Ran, who do you think is left in their family who can compete with you? Leave Mrs. Gu to save face, and you will be responsible for the rest, I think the eldest young master of the dignified Chu family should have no reason not to handle this matter, right? ”

Speaking of which, Lu Zhiyao still pushed the matter to himself. Chu Ziqian's face froze, he didn't bother to take care of his own business, Lu Zhiyao still wanted to give him so many shops of the Gu family now?!

"I'm here to help your Chu family make their business bigger, and don't forget to share some of our money when you make money." Lu Zhiyao got cheap and behaved, so Chu Ziqian could only stand there and stare at her.

"It's okay to kill Gu Shi, but once the court investigates this matter, what are you going to do?" Li Muchen remembered the business after watching the excitement for a while. "The Gu family has had a series of accidents, and too many people have noticed this, which is likely to affect our actions. Once Xia Han's side starts, he may have to arrange a lot of manpower to go over, so there is no way to send too many people to deal with the Criminal Department and the Gu family. ”

"I don't need you to come over, with Ling Yi and Zhan Yulong to help me, it's enough to deal with those people in the Criminal Department." Lu Zhiyao smiled lightly: "Jiang Han entered the palace a few days ago, and said in front of the emperor and queen that she was stabbed by the assassins who infiltrated the Eight Emperors' Mansion. This assassin is her nonsense, and I want to make it true now. Since there is a flying crane tower on the rivers and lakes that specializes in taking people's lives, there can be a second one. As long as you take the time to play this scene, the Gu family is not the point, the point is, I want to know who Lu Dao wants to catch Xia Han, and who Han Mu heard the news that she is still alive. ”

Lu Zhiyao already looked like he had thought of everything, Li Muchen and Chu Ziqian looked at Lin Yinan in unison, and seeing that he didn't mean to say anything, they had to suppress the worry in their hearts and say nothing. It was undoubtedly risky to let Lu Zhiyao do this kind of thing alone, but Lin Yinan was not worried, and there was no need for them to worry about it.

Li Muchen and Chu Ziqian walked out of the room and said hello to Su Shi, who had been letting off steam, and the three of them quickly disappeared from the Eight Emperors' Mansion.

Lin Yinan sighed softly after waiting for them to leave, and looked into Lu Zhiyao's eyes, Lin Yinan sat there a little lazily, and asked out loud: "Is it a bit big to play this time?" ”

"Compared to the Eighth Prince who is trying to seize the throne, is it big?" Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, his indifferent appearance made Lin Yinan once again sure that Xia Han was a forbidden area for her to touch.

Lin Yinan smiled helplessly and shook his head, stood up and dragged her over, and said, "Sleep." ”

"What are you doing?!" Lu Zhiyao looked down at Lin Yinan's restless hand, then looked at the robe that had been left aside, and asked vigilantly.

"No way." Lin Yinan calmly received Lu Zhiyuan's gaze, completely extinguished the light in the room, and sighed faintly: "I have big ambitions and big appetites, you have to be responsible for feeding them." ”
