Zhang's house.

Zhang Ziyi was reading a booklet in the courtyard when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, looked in the direction of the door, and wondered if her husband was back?

The butler hurried to the door.

Looking at the direction of the gate, several figures appeared in Zhang Ziyi's field of vision, she was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Father, why did you come back so soon?" ”

By Zhang Dezhong's side, he was also followed by Ma Kongming, Qi Zhen, Tie Zheng and Duan Xing, all of them were pale, and Zhang Ziyi faintly sensed that something was wrong.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"I'm afraid it's really a little bad." Ma Kongming said in a deep voice.

"What the hell is going on!"

Zhang Dezhong was silent, and Ma Kongming spoke: "This time it can be said that it is self-defeating. ”

Zhang Ziyi didn't ask a third time, her eyes were forced to look at her husband, Ma Kongming smiled bitterly: "Actually, my father-in-law didn't go to Muzhou at all, the matter of the imperial examination was a bureau set up by him, and today Qi Zhen ran into Duan Xing when he went to follow Lu Zhi, and after asking, he knew that Duan Xing was sent by his old man to keep an eye on Lu Zhi." ”

"In other words, my father knew that Lu Zhi had a problem? But in that case, why let him preside over the scientific expedition? Zhang Ziyi asked.

Zhang Dezhong finally spoke: "This is a bait set by the old man, the old man has been rectifying the rule of the Hui'an Mansion for the past year, although it seems to be very effective, but the old man knows that there are still many fish that have slipped through the net, they are very cunning, and they are good at camouflage, and they are very well hidden, and it is difficult for the old man to catch them." ”

"Does this have anything to do with Lu Zhi?"

Zhang Dezhong smiled: "No matter how cunning a person is, he can't let his children be as cunning as him, since the commander put me in charge of the imperial examination, the old man saw an opportunity to find out these tumors hidden in the deepest underground through the children of these corrupt officials." ”

"It just so happened that Lu Zhi proposed to me to preside over the imperial examination, I had long been suspicious of him, and he could be used as bait, and then I deliberately let Yuan Chi be the chief examiner, and secretly instructed him to delegate power, Lu Zhi would think that there was no danger with the two of us pressing in front, and he would take risks."

"Later, in order to completely reassure him, I pretended to leave Hui'an Mansion, and he was really fooled, first selling the exam questions, and then selling the imperial examination rankings, I have already let Duan Xing and Tie Zheng get the list of exam questions he sells."

"Isn't that great?" Zhang Ziyi asked: "Could it be that something happened?" ”

She knew that if it were just these things, her father and husband would not show such appearances.

Ma Kongming smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law and I both went to ask to see Lu Jieshuai just now, but the guards said that Lu Jieshuai refused to see us. ”

"Why doesn't he see you?" Zhang Ziyi asked.

Zhang Dezhong sat down on the stone chair opposite Zhang Ziyi, and said slowly: "Kong Ming told me that Lu Jieshuai secretly went to participate in the imperial examination, thinking that he already knew everything Lu Zhi did, and now he must think that I am also involved, otherwise Lu Zhi would not be able to do this, this is really a fool." ”

After speaking, he sighed.

Seeing her father so worried for the first time, Zhang Ziyi gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what now?" ”

"I can only wait, if only my father-in-law had told Lu Jieshuai about this plan in advance." Ma Kongming said that there was a slight hint of complaint in his words.

Zhang Ziyi sighed, she knew her father best, and knew that he always liked to do everything well before mentioning it to others, this can only be said to be a providence, who would have thought that Lu Jieshuai would be able to participate in the imperial examination.

personally participated in the imperial examination, and then found out that someone was cheating, Zhang Ziyi didn't dare to imagine what kind of heart he would be now, if it weren't for his extreme anger, he wouldn't even want to see his father.

Zhang Ziyi is afraid of one thing now, if he doesn't make it clear now, Lu Jieshuai may think that the plan his father said was made up in order to get rid of the crime, then he can't argue!

She paced back and forth, and suddenly spoke: "Father, you can go and ask to see Sun Shaoyin, and tell her about it first!" ”

"The woman won't see us." Ma Kongming shook his head and vetoed, his words full of dissatisfaction.

"What about General Qin?"

"She went back to Jixi County to garrison." Qi Zhen said in a deep voice.

Zhang Ziyi clenched her silver teeth, her mind was racing rapidly, and suddenly she exclaimed: "There is also Xiao Yu Tong, we can go and ask Xiao Yu Tong to tell her about it, and let her convey it to Lu Jieshuai." ”

Ma Kongming frowned: "Can she be a child who can explain clearly?" ”

"Always give it a try!" Saying that, she hurried out of the house and headed towards the North District Academy. Ma Kongming was relieved and immediately followed.

North District College.

Lu Yutong and Zhao Qing connected the erected textbooks together to form a small enclosure*, and the two of them lay behind and whispered.

Zhao Qing said bewildermently: "Yutong, if you are willing to introduce Su Fuzi to me, I will take you to the theater next time!" ”

Lu Yutong snorted, "Don't you just want to introduce Sister Su to your brother?" Don't even think about it, my brother is going to marry her soon! ”

Zhao Qing smiled: "I won't rob your sister-in-law with you, I just want to ask Su Fuzi if he has any sisters or something." ”

"No, even if there is, it's my brother's!" Lu Yutong is very domineering.

Zhao Qing said dissatisfiedly: "Stingy ghost, I won't take you to play next time." ”

At this moment, the master shouted: "Lu Yutong! ”

Lu Yutong trembled, and it took a long time to stick out his little head from under the textbook and whisper, "Yes." ”

The master waved his hand and said, "Get out of here, someone is looking for you!" "It looks like Lu Yutong is very unwelcome.

"Oh." The little girl answered, walked out of the school quickly, and saw Zhang Ziyi's figure at the door.

Zhang Ziyi gave a blessing to a middle-aged man beside him: "Dean Lu, thank you this time." ”

Lu Anmin waved his hand and said, "You're polite, please say hello to Ling Zun for me, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you much." He turned and walked away.

"Sister Zhang, are you looking for me?" Lu Yutong asked.

Zhang Ziyi squatted down in front of her, put her hands on her shoulders, and said in a condensed voice: "Yutong, my sister wants to ask you to do me a favor!" ”

……

The back house of the Jiedu Mansion.

Lu Yuan was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Ruozhen standing beside him, looking down at him.

"Senior sister, you're back." Lu Yuanlu smiled bitterly.

Li Ruozhen stared into his eyes: "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Lu Yuan nodded: "There is a person I have always trusted and respected, I suddenly found that he is not what I imagined, it is likely that there is another side, which makes me can't help but wonder, is there still a lot of such people around me, I suddenly feel that there are many people I can't trust as before." ”

"You're talking about Zhang Dezhong, right?"

"I didn't expect my senior sister to be quite keen." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"What do you mean by unexpected?" Li Ruozhen raised his eyebrows and said, moved a chair and sat down next to him: "Lu Yuan, do you know why I went to Jinling Mansion to save you in the first place?" ”

Lu Yuan was stunned and shook his head.

"Do you remember our first conversation under the corridor of the second hall of the mansion?"

"Of course I do."

"When you saved Fu Lei, I planned to repay you, but you took the initiative to tell me that the prescription was the king's hostage, and it was not meritorious, I asked you why you did this, do you remember how you answered at the time?"

Lu Yuan thought back to the original Qi Ng Jing, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"I have a feeling that even if I tell you, you will help me." Lu Yuan repeated the original words.

"Yes, because you believed me at the time, I am willing to help you."

Lu Yuan was thoughtful.

Li Ruozhen said again: "Have you ever thought that your subordinates have not been following you for a long time, but they are all following you with all their hearts, what is the reason?" ”

"Do you mean because I trust them, too?"

"Isn't it? You went to Jinling alone and entrusted Xi NG's life to them, this kind of thing would not be done by ordinary people. ”

"But it's easy to be deceived." Lu Yuan shook his head.

Li Ruozhen said: "Lu Yuan, a monarch who is willing to believe in others may be deceived, but he can gain the loyalty of most people, and a suspicious monarch may not be able to deceive him, but it is likely that everyone will betray his relatives and eventually become a loner." ”

"And even if such a person really becomes the emperor, he will not be happy." She added.

"Senior sister, I really didn't expect you to say this." Lu Yuan said with emotion.

Li Ruozhen lowered his head slightly: "This is what my father said to my brother back then, but the last sentence is my own opinion." ”

Lu Yuan said softly: "If your brother is still alive, he will definitely be able to become an excellent monarch." ”

Li Ruozhen gave him a blank look: "What are you talking about, he is not dead, and you guessed wrong, he has now become a very suspicious person, so I don't want you to become like him." ”

Lu Yuan was surprised: "Why haven't I heard you mention it, where is he now?" ”

"He was in Cangzhou to assassinate Yang Quanzong, and he was full of only thinking about recovering the country, and he didn't know that people were just using him."

Lu Yuan sighed, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Senior sister, thank you so much today, I feel a lot more relaxed in my heart." ”

"I didn't mean to dismiss you, but it was a little unpleasant to see your stupid face."

“…… By the way, senior sister, you came over today, did you investigate the case clearly? ”
