Lu Junzhong smiled on his lips, and when Zhu Dongshan came in, he was not in a hurry, raised his hand and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Zhu Dongshan sat down on the chair with half of his buttocks, unable to hide the excitement between his eyebrows: "Xue Ke opened the box in public, and the box contained weapons ......!" ”

"Something wrong with the weapon?" Lu Junzhong's eyes were soft, and he understood the problem almost instantly.

Zhu Dongshan nodded and smiled: "Not only is there a problem, but there is also a big problem." Inside is a barrier knife, but it is a thin slice of barrier knife, with the shape of an obstacle knife, but there is no obstacle knife. ”

"You mean, those knives are cutting corners?" The corners of Lu Junzhong's lips couldn't help but turn upward: "Someone uses these obstacles to embezzle military spending? ”

Lu Junzhong touched his goat's beard and said with a smile: "Originally, we beat the military department with a stick, thinking that we could rest for a while, but now it's good, their scars haven't recovered yet, and they are going to be sent to our mouths again." Dongshan, this major corruption case is far from being comparable to Fan Wenzheng's case last time. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's not just the military department that's involved in this." Lu Junzhong said calmly: "There are also people in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and there are not more than a dozen officials directly involved, and these weapons cannot enter Wudefang." There are more than a dozen officials directly involved, and the number implicated is not small. With a smug smile on his face: "I still remember that the year before last, when I was 50 years old, many officials from the DPRK and China attended the banquet, and even those who did not attend the birthday banquet also gave generous gifts." ”

Zhu Dongshan was not surprised that Lu Junzhong would make a quick judgment.

This Lu Butang is in the dark all day long, and he knows the tricks of many ghosts in the court.

"As soon as the knife goes down, all the swords are shattered." Zhu Dongshan said succinctly: "Although the forging process is extremely inferior, even the exercise materials used are not on the table. ”

Lu Junzhong smiled faintly and said: "Step by step, climb the laurel tree, and strive for the future!" ”

Zhu Dongshan immediately said: "When the lord said this, the lower officials remembered it, and it turned out that the lord always remembered." ”

"Even if it's another fifty years, I won't forget it." Lu Junzhong said: "Duan Luan is famous in this dynasty, and his calligraphy is known as the first person in a hundred years. His expression became gloomy: "That couplet seems to be ordinary, but it implies mockery. The sixteen gates of the criminal department, the two punishments of riding a ladder and riding a bronze horse, many people in the court know, what do you mean by his pair? ”

Zhu Dongshan nodded and said, "Xiaguan naturally remembers." Xia Guan still remembered that none of the people from the Ministry of Industry participated, and Old Man Duan only sent a couplet to the adults. ”

"Do you remember how that couplet was written?"

"This .....!" Zhu Dongshan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "His calligraphy is naturally excellent, but that pair is mediocre, and the lower officials really don't remember it." ”

"Such as

If I just mocked him, I read that he was old and confused, and he didn't know as much as he did. Lu Junzhong sneered: "Afterwards, I sent someone to investigate secretly, only to find out that even that pair of characters was not from his handwriting, but made by a servant in his house to copy his handwriting, hehe, he wanted to mock me, and he didn't even want to write it himself, just let a domestic servant do it, such a shame, how can this official forget?" ”

Zhu Dongshan said: "We have almost no contact with the Ministry of Industry, and Duan Luan must have felt that it is impossible for the Ministry of Industry to fall into our hands, so he dares to be disrespectful to adults." ”

Zhu Dongshan's face sank.

"Dongshan, I know what you want." Lu Junzhong said slowly: "When we opened this pair that year, we didn't understand it for a while, and we read it in public, although the officials present shouted in their mouths, they all understood what it meant in their hearts. You're so smart that you can't know what it means, but you just don't want to embarrass me, so everyone pretends not to find out. ”

Zhu Dongshan sighed: "My lord Mingjian, Duan Luan's appearance is not only mocking adults, but also mocking our entire criminal department. ”

"Xue Keyong found that there were broken knives in the warehouse that cut corners, which is naturally true, but how dare he poke this matter out?" Zhu Dongshan frowned and said: "As long as you think about it with your brain, you can guess that this case not only involves the Ministry of War, but also the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. ”

Lu Junzhong was calm, with a smile on the corner of his lips, but he didn't speak.

"Although Xue Keyong is a soldier, he can design to defeat the bandits in Wangchao in one fell swoop, which shows that he is also a smart person, not a reckless man who can only wield knives and guns." Zhu Dongshan said softly: "When Xia Guan saw that Xue Keyong came to Suzaku Street with a convoy, Han Tian was also in the convoy, which means that after Xue Keyong found the broken knife, Han Tian got the news and immediately went to stop it. It is impossible for Han Tian not to tell Xue Keyong about the stakes, and he will definitely find a way to persuade Xue Keyong to conceal this matter. ”

"Rely on the old and sell the old." Lu Junzhong's face was gloomy and cold: "He may forget this matter, but this official will not forget." After two years of waiting, I finally waited for the opportunity. Forging war knives is the responsibility of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry, and now there are such a batch of broken knives that cut corners, and the Ministry of Industry cannot escape the involvement, and Duan Luan is also to blame. One hand was clenched into a fist, and his eyebrows were full of excitement.

Zhu Dongshan said in a low voice: "My lord, but this matter is a little strange. ”

"Oh?" Lu Junzhong picked up the teacup and calmed down: "What do you say?" ”

Zhu Dongshan nodded and said: "If he brought this convoy into the merit workshop, there was no way out, and he even opened the box and took the knife in public and announced this matter to the public, then there was no room for maneuver." ”

"In my opinion, this Xue Keyong is really a person who values love and righteousness." Lu Junzhong sighed: "He is recommending Xuanyuan with blood!" ”

"Recommend Xuanyuan with blood?" Zhu Dongshan was stunned and a little dazed.

"And rightfully so." Lu Junzhong smiled faintly: "The embezzlement of military funds leaked out, and the first person to fall was the head of the Treasury Department, how could he not stop it?" ”

"Since Han Tian will definitely inform Xue Keyong of the stakes, Xue Keyong will naturally understand that once this matter is exposed by him, not only will he offend a group of Beijing officials, but the people behind the scenes will also regard him as a thorn in his side." Zhu Dongshan thought clearly and said in a low voice: "To be able to plan such a big case, the identity of the person behind it is naturally extraordinary, and it should be easy to deal with the commander of the small state army." After a pause, he wondered: "Will Xue Keyong be stupid enough to hit the blade himself?" ”

"You think he's killing himself?"

"Can you understand his background?"

"Got it." Zhu Dongshan said: "He is a native of Ningling, Liang County, Yuzhou......!" Suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "My lord, is it .....?" ”

"Xue Keyong is also from Ningling, Liang County." Lu Junzhong said lightly: "The two of them are from the same county. Before Zhu Dongpo was transferred to Kyoto, he had done a two-year long history in Yuzhou, and Fan Wenzheng went to Yuzhou once in the year, met Zhu Dongpo, and appreciated Zhu Dongpo very much, so Fan Wenzheng later directly transferred Zhu Dongpo from Yuzhou to Kyoto, and directly arranged in the military department. Many years have passed, and many people only know that Zhu Dongpo is Fan Wenzheng's hand, but they forget that this person is from Yuzhou. ”

Lu Junzhong glanced at Zhu Dongshan, took a file from the table and handed it over, and said, "This is a file that has just been transferred, you can see what the problem is first." ”

Zhu Dongshan took the file, only to see that the cover of the file said "Zhu Dongpo case file, director of the Qin Prisoner Military Department", he didn't understand why Lu Junzhong would transfer this file, opened it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he closed the file and said, "My lord, this file is a lower official."

I have taken a closer look at it before, and he was one of the officials who was beheaded in the case of Pham Van Chinh. ”

"Not bad." Lu Junzhong smiled faintly: "Zhu Dongpo was not a long history at that time, but it was naturally easy to save Xue Ke's life. Xue Keyong escaped death, grateful to Zhu Dongpo, plus the two are fellow villagers in the same county, so Zhu Dongpo later took great care of Xue Keyong, Xue Keyong did not live up to Zhu Dongpo's expectations, and repeatedly made military exploits, with Zhu Dongpo's rise step by step, before Zhu Dongpo entered Beijing, he had helped Xue Keyong gain a firm foothold in the Yuzhou battalion, although he was not directly mentioned as the commander of the Yuzhou battalion at that time, but without Zhu Dongpo's previous promotion, Xue Keyong could not finally sit in the position of the commander of the Yuzhou battalion. ”

Zhu Dongshan suddenly realized.

"The sage didn't let us implicate Fan Wenzheng's case, if more people are really involved, Xue Keyong was Zhu Dongpo's hand, so naturally he can also be implicated." Lu Junzhong touched his beard and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is a good show that Xue Ke recommended Xuanyuan with blood today. Everyone in Kyoto already knows that Fan Wenzheng fell from power, and it was Qin Xiao who lit the fire, but the most critical person is the current military officer Dou Wei, Dou Wei was originally Fan Wenzheng's very trusted subordinate, but when it was critical, he bit Fan Wenzheng in the back, and his testimony was very important......!"

Zhu Dongshan said: "Could it be that Zhu Dongpo and Xue Keyong have a deep friendship?" ”

"Xue Keyong joined the army that year and was organized in the Yuzhou battalion." Lu Junzhong said slowly: "It is said that once the Yuzhou battalion sent a team of soldiers and horses to clear the Liukou, Xue Keyong was only a team leader at the time, leading a dozen people under his hands, that time to suppress the bandits, sent dozens of officers and soldiers, did not want the Liukou to get the news, set up an ambush, there were many people, this army of officers and soldiers was almost wiped out, only Xue Keyong broke out with four or five people under his hand. They saved their lives and went back to hand in, and the boss was furious and wanted to behead Xue Keyong and others for the crime of desertion......! ”

Zhu Dongshan understood: "Xue Keyong can survive, is it wishing Dongpo to save his life?" ”

Zhu Dongshan said with a smile: "Xue Keyong naturally has already mastered this matter, and knows that Zhu Dongpo was implicated by Fan Wenzheng, and the culprit is Dou Wei who eats inside and out." ”

"Dou Wei is now sitting in the position of the official of the military department, and the spring breeze is proud, which is exchanged for the heads of Zhu Dongpo's group." Lu Junzhong's eyes were sharp, and he said calmly: "Xue Keyong didn't have any chance to bring down Dou Wei, but now he finally found an opportunity, even if he can't pull Dou Wei off the horse, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the military department controlled by Dou Wei." Xue Keyong knows very well that if he exposes this matter, he will inevitably ruin his future, and he may not even be able to save his life, but as long as this major corruption case is exposed, the court will have to investigate and deal with it, and he doesn't need to do anything in the future, all he has to do is to muster up the courage to make this matter known to everyone. ”

Zhu Dongshan sighed: "When the lord said this, the lower officials also understood. Xue Ke used to repay Zhu Dongpo's kindness back then, and recommended Xuanyuan with blood, and now it seems that he is really a man who knows how to repay his kindness! ”
