"In that case, then we shouldn't help it." A glimmer of hope was rekindled in Yifang's heart, and she hit the railroad while it was hot, "Shaojun, you might as well take this opportunity to explain everything clearly to the emperor." Since it is all for the sake of the people, it is not impossible to cooperate. ”

"Eldest sister, can we really trust the current emperor?" Shaojun seemed to be a little uneasy.

Yi Fang nodded seriously: "I have been with the emperor for many years, and I have seen everything he has done, and it is by no means what you imagined." ”

Shaojun pondered for a moment again, and Yifang didn't urge him, just waited quietly on the side. I don't know how long it took, Shaojun finally spoke again: "Eldest sister, even if the emperor is dedicated to the people, we are now committing the great crime of killing the king, if there is really no way, I only wish that I will die alone, and I hope that the eldest sister can save the lives of my brothers." ”

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Yi Fang made a decision before coming here, since he had found Shaojun now, he would definitely not let him be executed.

"Thank you, eldest sister."

Yifang was about to leave, but suddenly remembered an important matter, so he turned around and instructed: "By the way, there is one more thing you have to keep in mind, my current name is Dou Yifang, and you are not Shangguan Shaojun, but Dou Shaojun." You must remember that the reasons for this will be explained later. ”

After getting out of the prison, Yifang went to Weiyang Palace again, Liu Heng did not sleep, and was probably waiting for her to come back. As soon as Yifang stepped through the door, he heard his voice.

"How?"

Yifang smiled and nodded: "The concubine has already talked to him, and Lu Lu has been contacting them, hoping to reach a cooperation." However, they were also aware of the ambitions of the Lu family, and only used each other and did not agree to their request for cooperation. ”

"Do you think it's credible?"

"The concubine believes it, but for the sake of prudence, we can lure the Lu family out through the righteous rangers. If the plan works, it proves that what they say is true. ”

Yifang also thought hard along the way before he came up with such a compromise solution. In this way, it can not only allow Liu Heng to catch the Lu family's henchmen, but also allow Shaojun and his party to make meritorious contributions, and also leave an explanation for future pardons.

"In that case, then call them over!" Liu Heng followed Yi Fang's suggestion and asked people to go to the cell to bring Shaojun over.

A moment later, Shaojun and another member of the Righteous Ranger arrived at Weiyang Palace. Over the years, the Righteous Ranger has grown stronger and stronger under their leadership, whether it is the usual organization of your management or the planning of going out to do things, it is all completed by the two of them in cooperation and consultation. For such a big matter this time, they also need to discuss it, so Liu Heng agreed to summon the two of them together.

"The grass people meet the emperor."

Hearing the sound of their saluting, Yi Fang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, being able to be so respectful proved that the prejudice against Liu Heng in their hearts had gradually disappeared.

"Arise, give me a seat." Liu Heng also treated the two of them politely, which made them a little flattered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I've already heard what the queen said about you, are you willing to help me wipe out the Lu clan?" Liu Heng knew that Yifang had already told them a lot before, so he didn't say anything more at this time, and asked directly.

The two of them glanced at each other: "Naturally, I am willing, but the grass people have a small request." ”

"What request?" Liu Heng began to raise his vigilance.

Shaojun glanced at Yifang, and then said slowly: "Although the Lu family has bad intentions, not everyone surnamed Lu is heinous, there are still some old and weak women and children among these people, and when the time comes, please ask the emperor to open up to them." ”

"This is nature, I will put them well." Liu Heng agreed very happily.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Yifang struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Since you plan to lure out Lu Lu, what good way might you think of?" ”

"Brother Liang, come on!" Shaojun glanced at the man next to him and motioned for him to speak.

The man looked a little shy, and opened his mouth before saying, "Lu Lu has taken the initiative to contact us several times, just hoping to reach a cooperation with us. If we pretend to say yes and then ask him to come out and negotiate, he will most likely fall for it. ”

"Do you know how to contact him?" Yifang asked this crucial question.

But they shook their heads: "I don't know. However, according to the past situation, every half a month, Lu Lu would take the initiative to send someone to find us, saying the same thing as we had before, but it was always the same in terms of time. ”

"When was the last time he contacted you?"

Shaojun thought about it carefully: "It seems to be half a month ago. ”

"In other words, if nothing else, Lu Lu will contact you in the next few days?" Yi Fang's expression tightened, if I let Lu Lu know that they were arrested and put in prison, I am afraid I would not have taken the risk to contact them.

"It's all according to the old practice, and it should be so."

"Since Lu Lu sent someone to find you, then he should know your stronghold?" Liu Heng raised a question.

Shaojun nodded in confirmation: "He does know." We used to hide from others, and we usually only acted in secret. Since the rise of those corrupt officials, we have begun to do things in a righteous and open way, and we are not afraid that others will know where we are. ”

"So, Lu Lu sent someone directly to your stronghold?"

"Normally, if he wants to come, he will send a little girl to find out what is going on. If everything is in order, the girl will tell us where he is, and then we will send someone to meet him. ”

"Is there a fixed place to meet?"

Shaojun shook his head: "We have almost never met in the same place, Lu Lu is always very cautious, and he does not speak for more than a quarter of an hour. ”

Liu Heng nodded, but immediately stared at Shaojun with a sharp gaze: "Since you haven't reached a cooperation, why do you meet so often?" ”

"Originally, when Lu Lu first came to us, we rejected his offer to cooperate. But afterwards he would always send us some lists of corrupt officials, although we knew that he didn't really want to cooperate with us, but the people on these lists did have problems, and then he sent more of them, so we took this as a common practice. ”

"What does Lu Lu do when he collects the list of corrupt officials?" Liu Heng said to himself.

Yifang also thought seriously on the side: "Your Majesty, maybe Lu Lu is trying to win over the senior members of the court, if he is on his side, he will let it go, if he is not willing to unite with him, he will hand over these people to the righteous rangers to deal with." ”

"It's a possibility." Liu Heng nodded, and then said to Shaojun and them, "In that case, the next time you meet, I will send someone to follow you." ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people have an idea." Shaojun's mind suddenly flashed.

Liu Heng nodded: "You say." ”

"Since the emperor wants to wipe out the Lu family, it is useless to catch Lu Lu alone. It would be better to send someone to follow him when he returns, so that they can find their lair. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, so let's do it!"

Now that this plan has been decided, these people from the Righteous Ranger categorically cannot stay in prison any longer. Liu Heng sent a carriage to secretly send them out of the palace from the West Corner Gate, and under the cover of night, the group returned to the stronghold.

"Shaojun, we are going to do big things these days, I have to go back to see my wife and children first, you and my brothers talk first, I will come when I go." As soon as Liang Xiao went back, he hurriedly said to Shaojun.

"Okay, it's hard to walk at night, Brother Liang be careful on the road." Shaojun didn't doubt it, and let him go after giving him an instruct.

But Liang Xiao did not go home after going out, but went to a hidden house in the westernmost part of Chang'an City, where the Lu family now lived.

Lu Lu's action was on time, and the next morning, a familiar little girl knocked on Shaojun's door. She has come to pass the word many times, and she is already very familiar with Shaojun, and she runs to him with a smile as soon as she opens the door.

"Brother Shaojun, I'm here again!"

"Yiyi is here? What do you want to eat today? Brother bought it for you. "Shaojun has always been generous to this girl.

Lu Yiyi shook her head: "Don't eat anything, Yiyi came with a mission today." ”

"Is your uncle going to meet us again?" The expression on Shaojun's face became more serious.

Lu Yiyi nodded: "Yes, meet at Chunji Restaurant today, at the moment of the hour, the second floor is not illuminated by the sun." ”

"Okay, I got it." When Shaojun learned the news, he hurriedly asked people to go out quietly and inform the soldiers who were guarding nearby.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for Lu Lu to throw himself into the net. But Shaojun looked around the front and back of the stronghold, but he couldn't see Liang Xiao's figure. This is strange, every time Lu Yiyi comes to deliver a message, he is always very excited, shouting that he has work to do again, but this time he can't find anyone.

It was almost time, Liang Xiao still didn't appear for a long time, and Shaojun knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he rushed to Chunji Restaurant alone. He came to the second floor according to Lu Yiyi's words, almost all the places were in the sun, and he looked around for a long time before he saw the only seat hidden in the shadows.

There was a black-robed man sitting on that seat, and Shaojun recognized it as Lu Lu at a glance, and he was dressed like this every time he met him.

"Brother Lu has been waiting for a long time." Shaojun sat down directly in front of the man, but saw that he lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly.

Shaojun suddenly felt strange, changed again, and when he finally raised his head, he found that this person was Liang Xiao, who hadn't seen him in the morning.

"Brother Liang, how could it be you?" Shaojun was surprised, Liang Xiao had already pulled out a sharp knife from his sleeve.
