A hint of pride appeared on Xun Mou's face, "That's right, the prince and I have made a new plan, and it will be implemented during the Flower Dynasty Festival in a few days." ”

Zhao Shanqian looked puzzled, and complained in his voice, "What? Does that mean our plans have changed? ”

"Lord Zhao, don't be impatient." Xun Mou smiled and reassured, "Our original plan remains the same, but the time of implementation has been changed to the time of the Flower Dynasty Festival. ”

Everyone nodded, as if they understood Xun Mou's intentions, and Quan Shidao asked: "Could it be that General Xun means to do something at the 'Hundred Flowers Feast' planned by King Ning for the emperor?" ”

Xun Mou's eyes showed a hint of cunning, "In this operation, I will tell you the day before the Flower Dynasty Festival, and now you just need to follow the arrangement." ”

Xun Yu, who had been silent for a long time, also stood up and bowed his hand to the colleagues around him, "Today's conspiracy, you must swear to keep it to the death, if you leak the slightest bit of news to outsiders, everyone knows what the consequences will be!" ”

The officials present also stood up and bowed back, "Rest assured, we will swear to protect it." ”

"Old man......"

Suddenly, the butler's voice came from outside the door, and everyone held their breath. Xun Yu asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

The butler replied through the door, "A secret letter has been sent." ”

"Who sent it?"

"It was sent by the daughter of He Younian, the assassin of Suzhou."

Everyone was a little surprised, and after Xun Yu's father and son glanced at each other, they were all a little overjoyed, it seemed that there was news. Xun Yu said in a loud voice: "Bring it in!" ”

The housekeeper pushed the door gently, bowed his head and respectfully bent over to Xun Yu, and then held his hands in front of Xun Yu. Xun Yu took the letter, then waved his sleeves and motioned for the housekeeper to go down.

Everyone in the hall had their eyes fixed on Xun Yu, trying to judge whether the news of the letter was good or bad through Xun Yu's expression. Everyone saw that Xun Yu's brows stretched when he read the letter, thinking that it should be good news, and some people couldn't wait to ask: "Wei Guogong, can you tell everyone the content of the letter?" ”

Xun Yu didn't read it yet, didn't pay attention to it, and after reading it for a while, he held the letter and said with a smile: "Do you know He Younian's daughter?" ”

Quan Shidao laughed, "He Younian is the assassin of Suzhou, and his daughter He is now the wife of Lu Renxiang, the head of the household department. ”

Xu Bingde said disapprerovingly: "Lu Renxiang is Lu Zuo's younger brother, can you believe what He said?" ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "He Younian is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, and this He family is also the eyeliner we specially arranged, so you can't be wrong!" ”

"What does the letter say?" Xun Mou asked.

Xun Yu took the letter and showed it to the people around him: He said in the letter that he followed Lu Renxiang back to their hometown a few days ago and found out some clues. Speaking of the Lu Zuo brothers, they are not locals of Lujiazhuang, Shanzhou, but migrated here more than ten years ago. ”

Xu Bingde sneered: "More than ten years ago, there were frequent wars, and family migration was common, so what was the fuss!" ”

"Is it normal to have a connection with mountain bandits?" Xun Yu said.

"Mountain bandits?" Everyone was stunned.

"That's right!" Xun Yu put away the letter and continued, "The gang of mountain bandits who have made meritorious contributions to protecting the country in Fengji Mountain have known Lu Zuo and them for a long time, and they have been very close. According to the He family, the backgrounds of the Lu Zuo brothers and the bandit leader of Fengji Mountain are very suspicious. ”

Everyone wondered, "Is the news reliable?" How did Ho find out? ”

Xun Yu nodded, "The He family also repeatedly found out from Lu Renxiang's mouth, but the He family said in the letter that when she asked Lu Renxiang in detail again, no matter how she cried, Lu Renxiang refused to tell her her life experience, only saying that the matter was very important, and her life might be lost if she went out." ”

Quan Shidao stroked his beard and said: "It seems that there must be something to be done in this, as long as you find out their background, it may be the key to bringing down Lu Zuo!" ”

Xun Mou said sharply: "Dad, I think you should reply immediately, and let the He family find a way to find out the situation from Lu Renxiang's mouth." ”

The dim shadow of the lamp swayed in the moonlight, and a sad back was reflected on the screen window, and the man sighed from time to time, and his pale face looked even more sad in the dim candlelight.

"Brother......" Lu Renxiang stood at the door and whispered.

Lu Zuo turned around at this time, showed a weak smile, and greeted, "When will you come back?" and no one will be informed. ”

"As soon as I came back, I rushed over without stopping." Lu Renxiang said that his face sank like water, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he walked into the house weakly.

"...... at home" Lu Zuo didn't dare to think about it, "Is something wrong?" ”

Lu Renxiang gathered his tired expression, began to look a little excited and sad, a trace of tears appeared in his eyes, "Mother, she ......" said when he burst into tears and almost collapsed, "Her old man is immortal......

Lu Zuo's face was like ashes in an instant, the whole person sat on the stool, and after being silent for a long time, he burst into tears, and then stood up and hugged Lu Renxiang and cried.

The two brothers whimpered and cried for half an hour before they were stopped by the people outside the door, and when the two wiped their tears and looked back, it turned out to be Huo Jin.

As soon as Huo Jin entered the door, he drooped his head and began to sigh. Lu Zuo had already wiped away his tears at this time, his demeanor was as usual, and he asked without waiting for Huo Jin to speak, "Brother Huo, why are you here?" ”

Seeing this, Huo Jin raised his head and pouted at the door, "But it's not just the little brother?" ”

Lu Zuo raised his eyes and looked at the door, but in the moonlight, he saw two beautiful figures, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Lu Manxi and Qin Hong. Lu Zuo came to them with a calm face and scolded in three or two steps: "You two enemies, what are you doing in Beijing?" I wonder if the situation has reached a critical moment! ”

Lu Manxi and Qin Hong saw the senior brother coming violently, and they both took two steps back timidly, Qin Hong looked at the senior brother and said, "It's my father who agreed to us coming......

Lu Zuo was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Huo Jin, Huo Jin bowed his head and said, "What Qin Hong said is true, it is true that the eldest leader and the second leader asked us to come." ”

Lu Manxi followed closely and said: "That's right, my father said, now that the situation has changed, let you go back quickly." ”

Lu Zuo didn't know it, but the current situation, as long as King Ning was allowed to take the throne as soon as possible, there might be a turnaround, but if Liu Yan was one step late, then they would lose everything.

Lu Renxiang thought differently from them, "Brother, now that my mother's coffin is parked in the old mansion, you are not here, no one is presiding, you better go back to mourn!" ”

Lu Zuo fell into deep thought again, according to the imperial court system, as long as the official is mourned, he must be mourned for three years, unless the emperor personally begged the official to stay, he can be exempted from the mourning period.

"Senior brother, what Brother Renxiang said is right, now that your aunt's funeral is for you to preside, the court is in another mess, let's hurry up!" Qin Hong hurriedly said, "Last year was a lesson from the past!" ”
