When he came to the main hall, Liu Zhan saw Lu Zhi and Cai Yong coming out together, with a solemn face, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Shi, Lord Yue." ”

Cai Yong glanced at Liu Zhan: "How is Yan'er?" ”

"Yan'er is fine, and now she is resting in the room."

Cai Yong nodded, glanced at Lu Zhi, and motioned for Lu Zhi to tell Liu Zhan the countermeasures agreed upon by the two just now.

Lu Zhi stroked his gray beard: "Zhan'er, the two of us have just agreed to play the emperor tomorrow, explain the matter to the emperor, and give Zhan'er justice." ”

Liu Zhan hurriedly said: "Shibo can't, then Dong Yuan is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dong, who is near and who is far away is clear at a glance, and it is useless to play, maybe it will be counterproductive." ”

"Hmm...... So just swallow it? Lu Zhi was upset about Liu Zhan.

Cai Yong also looked at Liu Zhan with some puzzlement.

Liu Zhan bowed his hand: "Shibo, father-in-law, the most important thing at present is to prepare for the counterinsurgency, so as to be prepared." As for Dong Yuan, I have my own way to solve it, and Shibo and Yuezhang don't have to worry. ”

Lu Zhi understood Liu Zhan's temperament, and he was responsible for any difficult things this kid had, so he couldn't help asking: "What can you do, is it appropriate to say it and let us hear it." ”

Liu Zhan smiled: "Shibo, this is my nephew's secret, it's better not to say it." ”

Lu Zhi stretched out his hand and patted Liu Zhan's head: "You kid! Doesn't the old man know you yet? If you always do something by yourself, not this time, you have to say it! ”

Liu Zhan was helpless, so he had to truthfully explain what he thought in his heart.

Lu Zhi shook his head after hearing this: "Zhan'er, wouldn't this be too reckless, is there no other way?" ”

Cai Yong also said: "It's a bit inauthentic, not so open-minded." ”

Liu Zhan sighed: "You can't use a gentleman's means to deal with this kind of person, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." ”

After listening to Liu Zhan's words, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong couldn't say anything, so they had to let Liu Zhan go.

……

Dong Yuan Mansion.

Dong Yuan paced around the main hall angrily, his face nervous.

There was also a guard dressed as a common man kneeling in the hall, bowing his head and waiting for Dong Yuan to give an order.

Dong Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any good ideas, and looked at the guards kneeling on the ground: "Let me ask you, how many of you have really looked for it carefully?" Are you sure you haven't found Li Su's body? ”

"Back to the adults, the little ones have searched all over the place, and they are almost three feet into the ground, I really didn't see Lord Li Su, maybe Lord Li didn't die, but just missed the hour."

"Well-there is no outside the West Gate, and he doesn't come to the house to report, which is strange! In the past, after Li Su completed the task, he would come to the house as soon as possible to report, and he would never delay for a moment. ”

"That ......"

Dong Yuan raised his hand, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to the guard: "Take this secret letter and go to the North City Gate to find Captain Zhang." ”

The guard took the letter, Shi Li withdrew, and the book walked away.

……

Inside the Royal Palace.

Liu Hong's face was impatient, frowning and reclining on the dragon couch, absentmindedly listening to Dong Yuan's chatter below. Liu Hong has always been obsessed with women, almost no care about the government, and occasionally the government is also at will to guide the country, as for the accumulation of wealth, Liu Hong is fully handed over to Zhang Rang to handle it, and he is only responsible for squandering.

Dong Yuan knelt on the ground and made a statement: "Your Majesty, the minister has found out that the thief who attacked and killed Li Su was Liu Zhan recommended by Lu Zhi a few days ago. The guards sent by Dong Yuan to the North City Gate have already found out that Li Su has indeed been killed, and his body has been taken back by Zhang Duwei for burial. Hearing the news that Li Su was dead, Dong Yuan felt like he was on the edge of the abyss, and deeply felt that Liu Zhan's threat to him was close at hand, so he didn't think much about it, so he hurried to the palace and told the evil story first.

After listening to Dong Yuan's performance, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel a little interested, and asked lightly, "When was Li Su killed?" ”

"Emperor Qi, Li Su was killed at noon."

Although Liu Hong didn't care about the government, he was not stupid or stupid, but extremely smart, he turned his head and glanced at the little yellow door beside him: "What time is it?" ”

Xiao Huangmen bowed: "Your Majesty, it's two moments of Shen time." ”

Liu Hong heard a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and said leisurely: "Uncle only took one hour to investigate the case of the murder of the minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee so clearly, he is really a genius!" ”

Dong Yuan's heart suddenly burst out, and he couldn't help but regret a little: I'm really confused! Why don't you wait until tomorrow to play the emperor?

Dong Yuan thought for a while, and his face did not change: "Emperor Xie praised him, and the minister just did what he had to do." ”

Liu Hong didn't like it the most was that others treated him as a fool - although he was often played by people as fools, seeing Dong Yuan fooling himself like this, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and said coldly: "I don't mean to praise my uncle, I'm just curious about what the truth is." ”

Dong Yuan's face froze, and he didn't know how to answer: "......"

Seeing that Dong Yuan didn't speak, Liu Hong continued: "No matter whether what my uncle said is true or not, no matter who it is, murdering the minister of the DPRK and China is a big crime, and I will choose someone else to investigate this matter thoroughly, so my uncle doesn't have to worry about this matter." ”

Dong Yuan didn't expect that Emperor Ling, who had always been obedient, would actually reject his Chen Song, and he couldn't help but feel unwilling, he raised his head, looked directly at Liu Hong, and said with a tough attitude: "The minister has investigated this matter, and asked my emperor to issue an edict to arrest people." ”

Seeing Dong Yuan's tough attitude, Liu Hong suddenly had a fire in his belly: "Bold!" If you dare to say more, don't blame my six relatives for not recognizing it! Liu Hong's governance is often confused, and he listens to the plausible, so he nods and agrees to everything plays, and today's Liu Hong doesn't know what's wrong, sober-minded, and looks like a wise man.

Dong Yuan's head was big for a while, and he couldn't figure out Liu Hong's intentions, so he had to confess and retreat.

As soon as Dong Yuan left, Liu Hong asked Xiao Huangmen to go to Xuanlu Zhi's audience.

……

Liu Zhan returned to the Lu Mansion, had a few brief words with Lu Zhi, and then went straight to the room.

Shi A, who was guarding the door, saw Liu Zhan returning, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Meet the lord." ”

Liu Zhan nodded with satisfaction: "Are they all inside?" ”

"Both ladies are here."

Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, laughed, and teased: "Okay, you Shi'a, I can't see that your mouth is quite sweet." After saying that, he pushed the door and entered the house.

Shi Ah smiled to himself, walked away an arrow, and continued to be on guard.

As soon as Liu Zhan entered the door, the second daughter rushed over to him, vying to drill into Liu Zhan's arms, and by the way, check whether Liu Zhan was injured.

Liu Zhan smiled slightly: "How can you get hurt when dealing with a few little thieves!" Don't worry, the person who can hurt your husband hasn't been born yet! ”

The second girl blushed, snuggled tightly in Liu Zhan's arms, and stopped talking.

At this moment, Shi A's hoarse voice sounded outside the door: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Lu Zhi is invited." ”

Liu Zhan and his second daughter coexisted for a while, and when they came outside the house, they saw a servant girl standing timidly behind Shi A.

When the maidservant saw Liu Zhan coming out, she squatted down and saluted: "I have seen the son, the lord said that there is something to discuss, let the son go to the main hall." ”

Liu Zhan waved his hand at the maidservant: "Let's go, I'll go over now." After speaking, Chong motioned for Shi A to stay behind.

Shi Ah understood and continued to dutifully guard in front of Liu Zhan's door.

When he came to the main hall, Liu Zhan was about to step forward to salute, but he saw Lu Zhi wave his hand: "Zhan'er, sit down." ”

Liu Zhan lifted the hem of his shirt and sat beside the desk.

Lu Zhifu said: "Just now, the emperor announced that the old man entered the palace to meet him, and he also asked Zhan'er to accompany him, but he didn't explain what happened, Zhan'er, what do you think about this?" ”

Liu Zhan didn't expect Liu Hong to take the initiative to see him, so he couldn't help but be stunned, thought for a moment, and said: "The emperor summoned Shibo for the Yellow Turban, but for some reason he let his nephew go with him, is it because of the matter outside the West Gate?" ”

"Oh? Why is Zhan'er so determined to summon the old man for the Yellow Turban? ”

Liu Zhan didn't answer directly, but asked, "Shibo, what kind of person is the emperor today, don't you know?" Liu Zhan has never met Liu Hong, but Liu Zhan, who is familiar with history, naturally understands Liu Hong's style.

In fact, although Liu Hong ignores the government and politics, he is a smart person, he just turns a blind eye to some things, and is too lazy to worry about things other than the love of men and women, as long as he does not threaten his throne, Liu Hong has always been passable and perfunctory.

However, this time when Dong Yuan sued Liu Zhan for his black state, Liu Hong didn't know what was wrong, he was always irritable in his heart, and he couldn't wait to step forward to slap Dong Yuan's mouth, this inexplicable emotion made Liu Hong sober up for a while, and then he moved his mind to sort things out.

Lu Zhi listened to Liu Zhan's words and was silent for a long time. As a generation of old ministers loyal to the Han family, Lu Zhi knows best what kind of person Liu Hong is, since Lu Zhi came out, he has made many suggestions to Liu Hong, including the eight strategies proposed by Guanghe in the first year, but Liu Hong did not adopt any of them, but shuttled between women all day long, busy squandering money, and ignoring the government. Liu Hong's style made Lu Zhi cold several times, but in line with his loyalty to the Han family, Lu Zhi was still loyal to the court as always, without complaint or regret, but there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

Seeing that Lu Zhi didn't speak, Liu Zhan continued: "Shibo, don't worry too much about this. People, with a clear conscience, you can. ”

"Haha, what a clear conscience!" Lu Zhi stroked his back and laughed, "Zhan'er's words, let the old man be empowered, thought-provoking, well said!" ”

Liu Zhan scratched his head and smiled: "Shibo has won the award, Shibo is just a fan of the authorities." ”

"Zhan'er, go back and change into solemn robes, and we will enter the palace to meet after half burnt incense."

Liu Zhan responded, walked away quickly, went back to the house and changed into a cyan Confucian robe, and suddenly looked elegant and decent, with a graceful demeanor, and it was seen that Guo Xin and Diao Chan were directly.

Liu Zhan came outside the house and handed Shi A a piece of silk cloth: "This has Dong Yuan's daily activity track and work and rest time. ”

Shi A took the silk cloth and quickly browsed it, took the silk cloth into his arms, and did not speak, waiting for Liu Zhan to give orders with a serious face.

Liu Zhan continued: "Find an opportunity to get him to the inn fifty miles outside the West Gate." ”

"Yes, my lord."

"Before I come back from the palace, guard this place and don't let any suspicious people approach." After saying that, he glanced into the room, turned around and walked out......
