Chapter 188: Insincere
Liu Xun was already angry at this time, he was already dissatisfied with his father's hasty decision, what he didn't expect was that in order to help Liu Yan clear the obstacles, his father would not hesitate to let Liu Yan's actions go unchecked, if Liu Yan really ascended to the throne one day, then he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the rectification. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Xun to sit still, rather than sit and wait for death, he would rather choose to be like Liu Xu, the king of Wei. Liu Xun gritted his teeth and slapped the table, "It seems that this is the only way." How's your arrangement going now? Is Xia Jingying's son on the set? ”
"It's business as usual over there, but it's going to take a little time."
Liu Xun snickered proudly, "Hmph, Xia Jingying, this old fox, this incident is happening at this juncture, see how he ends." ”
"Then how should the king deal with the next shortfall case?"
Liu Xun hid his face and was stunned, "At present, we can only lose the pawn and protect the car, if you can make up for it, you will make up for it, and if you can't make up for it, you will be left to fate." ”
Lu Zuo deliberately asked, "What about Cui Hao?" ”
"Cui Hao is the secretary of the Criminal Department, but he has an important position. He is just a poor official, although he has been an official in the court for many years, it is expected that he should have no savings for his mother, and his money seems to have to be secretly helped by this king. Liu Xun patted his head, "I have a headache when I think of Yang Youxian, I owe so much silver at once, plus some other officials, this will cost thousands of taels of silver." ”
"This time, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, so in an important position, we must let them pay back the money clearly, as for some other officials, they can only resign themselves to fate."
It was late at night, and Lu Zuo and Yin Ji walked out of the verandah under Liu Xun's eyes, and when they came out of the eaves, they saw a black shadow flashing out. "Who?" Yin Ji asked quickly and vigilantly.
The man flashed out in the darkness, and under the light on the eaves of the corridor, he could see it carefully, and it turned out to be Liu Xingyuan, the eldest son of Liu Xun. Lu Zuoshi said: "It turned out to be the eldest prince, it's rude!" ”
"It's offended!" Liu Xingyuan smiled politely, and then asked with a serious face, "Mr. Lu, how is the matter with Master Cui?" You must save him! ”
Lu Zuo had already guessed seven or eight points, but he still couldn't help but be a little curious, Liu Xingyuan has always been an idler who stays out of things, so many people under his father are implicated in the deficit of the treasury, how can he be so interested in Cui Hao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and care so much about him, what kind of person is he, Lu Zuo looked Liu Xingyuan up and down, pondering repeatedly in his heart, becoming more and more interested in him.
Liu Xingyuan also looked at Lu Zuo suspiciously, and when he saw that the other party didn't answer for a while, he asked again, "Mr. Lu?" Mr. Luk...... Lady Cui, is he okay? ”
Lu Zuo smiled slightly, "Forgive me for being presumptuous!" How does the eldest prince care so much about Master Cui? ”
"This ......" Liu Xingyuan wanted to talk about it, but he didn't know how to talk about it.
"Huh...... If it's inconvenient for the eldest prince to say, forget it! Lu Zuo said with a smile, "Lord Cui's business, don't worry, the prince will not sit idly by." ”
Liu Xingyuan put his mind at ease, looked relieved, lowered his head and muttered with a smile: "That's good!" That's good! ”
Lu Zuo arched his hand, "Then I'll leave below." With that, he rubbed shoulders with Liu Xingyuan and left.
Lu Zuo and Yin Ji had only walked four or five steps, and Liu Xingyuan suddenly turned around, "Mr. Lu, slow down!" ”
Lu Zuo also turned around, nodded, and asked indifferently, "Is there anything else with the eldest prince?" ”
Under the shadow of the lamp, Liu Xingyuan hesitated in place, looking at Lu Zuo suspiciously, the cold wind was blowing in his ears, and the two of them were unconscious, just staring at each other's eyes. At this moment, Lu Zuo seemed to feel that he couldn't see through this person's mind, but there was an inexplicable curiosity in his heart.
In Liu Xingyuan's heart, he hesitated for a long time at the moment, but he was still calm on the surface, but it could be seen from his actions that he was hesitating about something and thinking about whether to say it. Liu Xingyuan actually wanted to restrain himself, don't say it casually, after all, the person in front of him is his father's henchman, and he doesn't want to get involved in this dispute between right and wrong, since Brother Cui is fine, why bother to say those useless words too much! But Liu Xingyuan just seemed to be unable to help it, the person in front of him always gave people an indescribable sense of trust, looking at his deep and clear eyes, as if there was some kind of magic, the words in his heart were always inexplicably aroused by the other party, he ...... Is it trustworthy?
"Eldest Prince......" Lu Zuo was the first to break the silence, and then smiled meaningfully, "You don't seem to believe me!" ”
Liu Xingyuan also smiled embarrassedly, and said with deep feelings: "Who can you trust if you live in a temple?" Sometimes even fathers, sons, and brothers ......," Liu Xingyuan didn't say any more.
"So Master Cui counts as one, right?"
"He ......" Liu Xingyuan's face immediately put down, if it wasn't for the night being too dark, his flushed face would definitely be discovered, "Universal!" ”
"Don't say it!" Lu Zuo wanted to continue to test him.
Liu Xingyuan saw that Lu Zuo's tone had changed a little, so he didn't want to entangle with him anymore, sneered, turned around and just took a step, and heard Lu Zuo say: "You say that, aren't you afraid that Lord Cui will be cold?" ”
Liu Xingyuan stopped, the step he had just taken, he withdrew his foot, he was cold in place for a long time, and suddenly turned around again, frowning and staring at Lu Zuo's eyes, the person opposite is really so powerful? Liu Xingyuan couldn't help but have this question, and suddenly the strange smile of the person in front of him swirled in his mind.
Lu Zuo was also attracted by his cold eyes, it seems that Liu Xingyuan is indeed unfathomable, he used to give people a simple and simple feeling, but he thought it was just a disguise, seeing that Liu Xingyuan also looked at himself for a long time without speaking, Lu Zuo smiled and said: "The eldest prince seems to have something to say!" ”
Liu Xingyuan smiled coldly, "Could it be that Mr. Lu is an immortal?" How do you know I have something to say? ”
"Because ......," Lu Zuo was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Because of the eyes of the eldest prince...... Talking! ”
The corners of Liu Xingyuan's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't answer, he turned his face and looked at the lantern on the eaves of the corridor, the light reflected on his face, looking handsome and straight, and the pitch-black mustache looked heroic.
"You don't seem ready to talk to me yet!" Lu Zuo's eyes were resolute.
Liu Xingyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, seemed a little impatient, he turned his face and said, "Mr. Lu, you seem to have talked a little too much at night?" After speaking, he said with concern, "It's freezing now, Mr. Lu is careful of catching a cold, so let's go back and rest early!" ”
Yin Ji also pulled Lu Zuo's coat and signaled to go back earlier. Lu Zuo saw that he was still so dike, so he smiled awkwardly, and then turned around and left.
