Volume 2 Jinghua Fengyun (II) Chapter Seventy-Eight: The End of Qingping (I)

Lu Chengfeng's heart struggled.

Bai Yu's suggestion can be said to be to find a way to liberate Lu Chengfeng.

However, in this plan, Bai Yu had to marry his half-sister Nianjiao, who walked and rode the wind.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but be in a dilemma.

On one side is the love that I want to strive for, and on the other side is my sister's lifelong happiness.

His sister, as her name suggests, is like a proud peacock, her eyes have always been higher than the top, and few men in the world can enter her eyes.

If she is asked to marry the North End, will she give in easily?

Although Bai Yu is personable and not as rude as the average barbarian in the north, he already has Guan Shanyue, his sweetheart, if Nianjiao really marries him, he also knows that in the second half of his life, most of them will be alone in the empty room and the evening scene.

Bai Yu can bend his eyebrows and bend his waist for Guan Shanyue today, let go of his hatred for his father all along, and between Nianjiao and Guan Shanyue tomorrow, it is already obvious that the winner will be divided early.

The more Lu Chengfeng thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't be too selfish, he only disregarded his own pursuit and freedom, and put his sister on the tip of the knife to walk for half his life, which was really in vain as an eldest brother!

Before he could open his mouth to defend himself, Bai Yu had already gently bowed to him, and then left, leaving only a sigh and said:

"You Emperor Dajing, you don't have to worry about it! Your Royal Highness, farewell! The next time we meet, I hope that the two of us will no longer become each other's fierce enemies because of the relationship between the two countries, but will be able to talk about poetry and songs like the night of the Shangyuan Festival! ”

"Hey!" Lu Chengfeng came back to his senses in a daze, and shouted loudly:

"I have another question, just now I saw the steel ball in your hand, it should be the Fire Devouring Thunder Bead, right? What does the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang lantern have to do with you? ”

"Hahahahaha......"

Bai Yu just looked up to the sky and roared, and waved his hand towards Lu Chengfeng in a dashing manner, neither admitting nor denying it, and quickly disappeared into the corners and alleys.

"Hey! White Feather! Ink Language! You're back! Tell me clearly! ”

Lu Chengfeng only hated that his light skills were not useful, if he was chasing the wind, he gently moved the Lingbo lotus step, and he caught up with the ethereal white figure in three times and five divided by two.

He just promised the eldest brother of the You family to help Master You find out the real culprit and clear up his grievances, but now he let the people from the National Fire Thunder Gate at the northern end slip away under his nose so easily, and he was full of resentment.

"I'm so useless!"

Lu Chengfeng hated and slapped himself lightly in the face.

The recent events made him feel more and more useless.

But he just can't accept everything to go with the flow, even if he struggles in vain, he can't accept drowning directly in the helpless whirlpool!

The big hand of fate wants to turn the person he is playing on his back, and he will be in the palm of this Buddha, tempered thousands of times, and then reborn in Nirvana.

Just like Sun Wukong, kick over the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, turn out the five finger mountain of the Buddha, break the routine, and disrupt the situation, even if he becomes benevolent.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Yu didn't wait for his answer, and concluded that he acquiesced in the transaction and choice between the two, or not.

Wu Jingmo once told him a word of criticism, Lu Chengfeng originally disdained it, but now he gradually understands that the experience summed up by the people from their officialdom is a kind of secular survival law, and it does have its place in officialdom.

That's it

Yes: Mix the water beforehand.

Thinking of Wu Jingmo, he hadn't seen his eldest brother for many days, and he didn't know if his eldest brother had heard of the ridiculous marriage covenant between himself and Guan Shanyue.

In a few days, it was the second spring trial in February, and I don't know how the eldest brother was prepared, so I went to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire about the follow-up of the last dragon and phoenix Chengxiang lantern.

Perhaps, Miss You's father is still in custody in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion awaiting trial.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but walk in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion.

As soon as one foot stepped into the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, he was stopped by Tian Zifang.

I saw him smile cautiously on his face:

"Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, it's only a few days before the second spring of February, you know, Lord Xiao Wu has been full of energy this time and is going all out to just wait for the exam, not to mention that the purple gold wolf given by the emperor is still on the case, and he must go to high school in one fell swoop! If you have anything to do, let's talk about it later! ”

"Brother Tian, it's me! I won't let you in? ”

Lu Chengfeng pointed to his nose and said stupidly.

I really saw a ghost today, I ate a closed door in Youfu, and when I arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, which was as kind as his second mansion, I was also expelled by Wu Jingmo behind closed doors.

Lu Chengfeng was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, his face was suddenly not very good-looking, and the sparkle in his eyes fell silent.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm sorry, Lord Xiao Wu has been writing Wen Shu day and night lately, and his own people are not afraid of you laughing, he hasn't taken a bath for three days and three nights! Please forgive me, Your Highness! ”

Tian Zifang hugged his fists, bowed his tall and burly body, and was already apologizing for others, and said sincerely.

"Gotcha! Between me and my eldest brother, there is no need to say much, I should fully support it! Just don't bother! Take a word for me, the eldest brother is very knowledgeable and brilliant, this spring festival will definitely be able to top the high school list in one fell swoop! I'm waiting to drink his champion celebration wine! ”

Lu Chengfeng waved his sleeves, suppressed all the loneliness in his heart, pretended to be light-hearted, and replied.

"Yes, yes, someone from my field must bring the words!"

Tian Zifang nodded and said.

"If you don't go in, you can't see your eldest brother, and it's the same when I ask you. Brother Tian, after the Shangyuan Festival, have you heard that the tribute merchant who made the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang lanterns, the master of Nanshi Street Youfu, was taken into custody pending trial? ”

Lu Chengfeng's eyes were full of enthusiasm and asked.

It was the first time that Tian Zifang saw that His Royal Highness had condescended to him, and nodded again and again, as if pounding garlic, and said:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right. That master of the You family, You Wanli, has been arrested and put in prison! ”

When Lu Chengfeng heard this, his eyes lit up, grabbed Tian Zifang's arm, and asked:

"But in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion? Can you show me there? ”

"Someone has taken it away! Not in our Jingzhao Mansion prison! ”

Tian Zifang quickly replied without thinking.

"Taken away? Who took it away? Worst! It can't be a member of the prince's party, right? That big lantern is an order placed by the prince! Do you want to kill people now? ”

Lu Chengfeng blurted out his debut.

After asking, I felt that it was wrong, the prince was still in seclusion, Tang Yuanzhi was gone, and the prince's party had already fallen apart now, and the trees were scattered.

Even if there are a few faithful people left, they are all broken branches and willows, and they can't make much of a storm.

In this matter, could it be the prince's old rival King Xuan?

Is he going to take advantage of this incident to deliberately make waves against the prince, so as to take advantage of the victory to pursue and disrupt the remaining henchmen of the prince in one fell swoop, and he will be the only one in the court from now on?

Lu Chengfeng frowned deeply, and at some point, he had already admired his Fourth Emperor Uncle, His Royal Highness King Xuan, from the beginning, to a little unhappiness that he was not aware of, and asked:

"Isn't it His Royal Highness King Xuan's people? The Criminal Department has always been his eyeliner, and since it is a case, the people handed over to the Criminal Department can be said to be reasonable, reasonable and legal, so that people can't find fault openly or secretly. ”

Tian Zifang has always had a cheerful mouth, but he stammered for a long time before reporting his name and said:

"It seems that it is not the prince's person, nor is it the criminal department, it is Dali Temple!"

"Dali Temple?"

Lu Chengfeng's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked.

According to the legal procedures of the Dajing Dynasty, the matter of criminal law has always been based on the principle of territorial jurisdiction.

Of course, there are exceptions to special circumstances. For example, the things committed by the royal relatives and nobles, as long as they are not heinous crimes that shake the foundation of the imperial power, such as rebellion, collaborating with the enemy and other heinous crimes, are generally handed over to the jurisdiction of the royal family.

In addition, if there are large, important, or major and difficult cases of national significance, the criminal department may also directly have jurisdiction.

Generally, after the criminal department accepts the case, it is handed over to the Dali Temple to preside over the case, which is equivalent to the relationship between the public security system and the court system in the 21st century.

In addition, Dali Temple also has some responsibilities of the supervision and inspection system in the 21st century.

For example, if the common people are not satisfied with the state government's ruling, they can go to the gate of Dali Temple in Jinghua City to beat drums and voice grievances.

The stone lion at the gate of Dali Temple has witnessed countless appeals from all over the world.

However, it is said that since the founding of the Great Yasukuo, this kind of situation can be counted on ten fingers.

Lu Chengfeng turned around a thousand times in his heart, and after carefully examining and speculating on the reasons and circumstances, he was shocked in his heart!

First of all, being able to directly use the Dali Temple shows that the emperor is paying close attention to this case!

Secondly, skipping the criminal department, that is, skipping King Xuan's henchmen, and even more, it can be inferred that the emperor does not trust His Royal Highness King Xuan very much!

Thinking that it must be the Tài Zi Dǎng Mansion will fall, the emperor is already unhappy in his heart, and as soon as this case comes out, it is inevitable that he will be even more suspicious of King Xuan.

After all, the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang lantern was brought by the prince to pay tribute, or was it purchased from Qingzhou, the hometown of the prince's father-in-law, and he did something to this lantern, isn't it deliberately aimed at the prince to seize the throne of the prince?

What's more, the dragon and phoenix lantern that was burned was regarded by the people as a bad omen for the demon fire from heaven to extinguish the prosperous era of Dajing!

In the palace, how afraid of such gossip!

In the emperor's heart, he must have been furious, and he felt that this youngest son was too blatantly aggressive!

It seems that this case was handled in this way, and it is very likely that Emperor Jing personally confessed.

Lu Chengfeng thought so, then stared at Tian Zifang's eyes and asked:

"Brother Tian, have you heard any news? Did the emperor issue an order and hand over the case to Dali Temple? Otherwise, according to the process, it should be the criminal department that interrogates first? ”

Tian Zifang shook his head and denied:

"Definitely! I heard Lord Wu say that it was the Ministry of Rites who first went to the excerpt and asked for it! ”
