The official body seal has its own anti-counterfeiting mark regardless of private seal or official seal, and it is even more difficult to make it privately, not to mention that the court will punish the crime of private creation quite severely, and the impostor will naturally do what he can.

Since the assassin kept saying that he wanted to see Lu Jue, of course, he also knew such an important point, so he took off his last defense. "I just heard about it before, but I didn't expect the white-faced Yama who is famous in the capital to be such an elegant and gentle person, I thought it was 、、、、、、" Shut up at the right time, glanced at Lu Jue, coughed twice, and couldn't hide the embarrassment at that moment.

His words did not make Lu Jue proud, but smiled helplessly: "Don't talk about those useless, let's get back to the topic!" ”

The assassin sighed heavily, squinted slightly at Lu Jue's expression, and asked a question that had nothing to do with this case: "Do you know King Luo?" ”

First the dead King Jin, then himself, and now King Luo is brought out, so if you don't bring down those powerful people, you really won't stop! Lu Jue said expressionlessly: "First the dead King Jin, then this seat, and now King Luo, how many powerful people do you have to pull out before you are willing to give up!" ”

The Assassin did not refute or defend himself, but said to himself, "At this point now, nothing matters, the important thing is that you must leave the capital. This is a land of right and wrong, and you will die if you stay! ”

At first, Lu Jue was still amused by his persistence, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't think about all the connections behind it. So this matter can't be so vague, Lu Jue lowered his face and said coldly: "The person you assassinated is the emperor, no matter why you will die, and you are not willing to accept the crime, but you have to go through the Tao after the heavy punishment, although this seat is not a shrewd person, but it is not stupid!" Let's be clear! ”

Hearing his words, the assassin didn't want to be in a hurry, and the explanation was not clear, why do you have to get to the bottom of it, no matter what, it won't hurt you. He stomped his feet again and again and said anxiously: "If you let you go, you will go, the authorities are confused, and knowing too much is not necessarily good for you." If you don't want to die, leave now. ‘

Lu Jue understood the meaning of his words, but he refused to stop and pressed step by step: "Let's stay away, is it related to this case?" To answer the question of this seat, when did you know King Jin, and what kind of grace did he have with you, so that you could seek justice for him regardless of life or death? ”

Seeing that he was still stubborn and refused to listen to him, the assassin had no choice, and he exhaled a sigh of clarity for him: "You have been in power for many years, and you will not be ignorant of the state situation and political affairs. These people are ambitious, but why don't anyone dare to act rashly, because you are the key to their victory. But," the assassin shrugged his shoulders at Lu Jue and hinted, "Your unclear position will only make their strings tighter and tighter, and if the strings are broken, they will reach the point of being out of control!" So it's only when you're away for a while that it dissolves all of this. ”

Others may not understand the meaning of this, but Lu Jue understands it in his heart. Three years ago, because of his willfulness, he and most of the students generally entered Beijing to catch the exam, I don't know whether he has real talent and learning, or lucky stars, he actually ranked as the champion in high school, and entered and exited the court to rank Jiuqing. Before the crown, he sat firmly in the position of Dali Temple, and the official worshiped the second grade.

However, all these honors did not bring him much joy, and over time he understood what it means to be happy and sad. A case that followed made him know something unacceptable, and after more than ten years, although this identity was noble, it made him unacceptable, and he had no way to retreat.

After being an official in the court for three years, how could he not know the movements of the court and the central government, and he would understand his situation better.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Jue didn't answer, and seeing that he was pondering, the assassin didn't continue, leaning on the railing and looking at him quietly, waiting for him to answer.

After a long time, Lu Jue retracted his thoughts, smiled faintly, and said in a cold tone: "Cheng Chong is a person from Jiming Street in the capital, and Sogo was discharged from the army due to injury in the early years. His father died early, leaving only a mother and a sister, and the family of three lived a poor life. But just half a month ago, the family moved into a prosperous neighborhood, lived in a set of two-in, two-out yards, not only married a wife, but also had a servant, a housekeeper, and bought dozens of acres of land for rent. ”

This is what Cheng Chong suddenly understood, his family was in the hands of others, he was shocked, stared at Lu Jue tightly with round eyes, clenched his fists and said, "You, how do you know." ”

Lu Jue put his hands behind his back, and said with a meaningful smile: "If there is a little thing in the important land of Gyeonggi, it will be a big thing, not to mention that it involves the imperial family." It doesn't take long for everyone to know, and it's naturally very easy to inquire about something. As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes turned, and he gradually showed coldness, and said, "Do you think I will easily let you sway?" My methods are not false. ”

All of a sudden, Cheng Chong's heart rose to his throat, he knew that he was already their pawn and could be abandoned, but he was also helpless, all this had nothing to do with his family!

He knelt down in a hurry, kowtowed again and again, and begged bitterly: "My lord, all this has nothing to do with my family, it has nothing to do with my death, my lord let them go!" ”

Lu Jue squatted down again and said, "Then you have to give me a reason to let them go." ”

"Me"

Intimidation is often only effective at the moment, and the longer it takes to figure it out, the more ineffective it is, Lu Jue, who is in the tiger's den, knows that this is not a place to stay for a long time, so he naturally won't give him too much time to think, and interrupted loudly: "Don't think about it anymore, the life and death of your family are in your own hands." ”

After struggling for a long time, Cheng Chong finally spoke: "He asked me to give this to you, he said that you will know who he is when you see this, and he will believe in my words." After speaking, he turned his back to Lu Jue, opened his mouth and took off the transparent fishing line on his teeth, and slowly pulled it. After a while, he pulled out a thumb-sized gourd-shaped jade pendant from his mouth. turned around and looked at Lu Jue embarrassedly, wiped the pendant on his tattered prison clothes, and handed it to Lu Jue until he confirmed that it was really clean.

Although he just looked at the jade pendant from a distance, Lu Jue still recognized what this jade pendant was at a glance, and his face was no longer calm. After taking it, he directly pointed the bottom of the jade pendant towards himself, and a Lu character was clearly engraved on it, and there was a little more throbbing in his heart. This jade pendant is not something else, but a token exchanged between him and his fiancée when he was married, and now this token is transferred to himself by someone else's hand, and it is even more coincidental that his father-in-law is in the capital.

What does this mean? It couldn't be clearer. He took the jade pendant into his arms, snorted coldly, and said: "Since you came at the cost of your life to admonish, this seat is very grateful, and this kindness is in my heart." Rest assured that your family will take good care of you as you wish, and you can die without regrets. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chong was shocked, grabbed Lu Jue's sleeve tightly, and said hurriedly: "Didn't you say you wanted to save me?" Adults are not allowed to talk and it doesn't count. ”

"Words are not true, hum!" Lu Jue glanced at him, snorted, shook off his hand and turned to leave.

"My lord, my lord、、、、、、" Lu Jue took a step forward, Cheng Chong followed closely, and when he was about to walk out of the cell, he knelt down and shouted with all his might: "I will tell you everything you want to know, in exchange for my life." ”

Lu Jue stopped, turned around, looked over with a knife in his eyes, and interrupted his thoughts: "Don't you think that your death will be more beneficial to me!" ”

"Zhou Tan, it's Zhou Tan, this jade pendant is Zhou Tan entrusted me to give it to you."

Lu Jue frowned and said, "More than twenty years ago, why did he ask you to assassinate the emperor?" "How many people are going to be pulled out?

Cheng Chong shook his head and directly denied it: "No, he just asked me to hand over this jade pendant to you, and taught me what to talk to you." Nothing else has been explained, although we have not seen each other for more than 20 years, I believe that he is by no means that kind of person. ”

In just three years as an official, Lu Jue has seen all the heat and coldness of the world, and those who see each other every day may not be able to guess his heart, let alone those who have not seen him for more than 20 years. He sneered and said, "For more than twenty years, how can you be sure that he has nothing to do with this matter." ”

Cheng Chong was very disgusted by this sentence, and glanced at Lu Jue and hurriedly proved: "They are really not a gang, there are other people who sent those people to assassinate the emperor, and I was just accidentally implicated." ”

Lu Jue hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

Cheng Chong shuddered, his fingers clenched tightly and clasped his palms, his eyes couldn't hide his fear, and he still palpitated: "He should have been a dead man, he is 、、、、、、"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the night wind who hurried in, and the night wind walked up to him and bent down and said: "Master, the waiter of the criminal department is coming in the direction of the prison, it is too dangerous here, the master should leave quickly!" ”

Sure enough, this is the trap arranged by others, Lu Jue showed a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, got up and said, "Take him, let's go, try to avoid them." ”

"Yes, my master comes with me." Ye Feng grabbed his clothes and lifted Cheng Chong, walked in front and led Lu Jue out of the Punishment Department safely.

In fact, it is quite strange to say that in such a bright and upright place of the Criminal Department, in addition to the main gate and the back door, there is actually a hidden path, and it was also detected by the night wind to let Lu Jue get out of the Criminal Department safely, it seems that someone arranged it in advance!

Originally, Zheng Yunlin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had a good wishful thinking, but who knew that he had a good plan and someone had a wall ladder, and he underestimated the young man after all, and only one step later not only let Lu Jue go out safely, but even the only person who planted the blame was taken away. His mood can be imagined, although he is too unwilling, but fortunately, he still has a back-up. hurriedly changed into civilian clothes, sat in an unnoticeable sedan chair, and went straight to the mansion of Zhu Xian, the king of Qi, after leaving the criminal department.

But to his surprise, Zhu Xian was calm and steady, and he was not in a hurry to grasp this handle. Zheng Yunlin took a sip of tea and said, "Don't you think this is a great opportunity?" ”

"How big the assassination case is, not only the witch Gu case ten years ago, but also a Lu Jue. No matter how stupid this king is, he can see that things are not so simple, and I think this king has been quiet recently. Anyway, his opponent is not only this king, why should this king go to this muddy water! At this time, Zhu Xian left this great opportunity not only for this reason, but also because he thought that this matter was very important, no matter whether anyone stumbled Lu Jue or not, he would definitely not be able to bear it. As long as he doesn't feel better than himself, he is happy, so why should he be this up-and-coming bird!

Okay, not so stupid, Zheng Yunlin lowered his head and smiled, put the teacup lid in his hand on the teacup, and leaned forward slightly with one hand: "Your Majesty's attitude above the court is already very clear." As long as Lu Jue seizes the opportunity, will he really be implicated? ”

Zhu Xian glanced at him, held his forehead, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said, "There are many people with hearts." ”

Zheng Yunlin said: "But there is only one crown prince and throne, and the prince shouldn't want to fake his hands to others!" ”

Zhu Xian opened his eyes suddenly, glared at him fiercely, and snorted heavily: "Zheng Yunlin, what kind of heart do you have, you know that King Luo, who is standing behind him with heavy troops, but you still want this king to trouble him on the cusp of this storm, wouldn't you want to push this king to the Jedi, not to mention the crown prince at that time, I'm afraid even this title will be lost!" ”

Looking closely at the facial features of this Zhu Xian and Lu Jue, people who don't know will think that the two are brothers. But what he lacks is Lu Jue's elegance and calmness, and more self-righteousness, which always gives people a feeling of being high, invincible, and impetuous.

Zheng Yunlin stood up and walked to Zhu Xian's side, leaned over and whispered: "Lu Jue's removal of the assassin from the criminal department has already proved that he is a thief, thinking about the assassination case, he has been involved in the assassination and it is extremely difficult to extricate himself, if you add the witch Gu case ten years ago, this matter is a taboo in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, people are terrible, as long as he adds a little oil and vinegar, he will not end well!" King Luo regards him as important, and when the time comes, he will definitely help him with all his might, as long as King Luo dares to openly take His Majesty as the emperor, the foundation of the court will definitely be shaken! As long as King Luo falls, His Majesty will be happy in his heart, and as long as His Majesty has less confidants, it is not Your Majesty's word who the crown prince's position is. So, why didn't the prince go to be this one who added fuel to the fire! ”

Before he finished his words, Zhu Xian had already begun to get excited, but he was not so stupid as to hit this southern wall as soon as he heard a little wind. He squinted at Zheng Yunlin with suspicious eyes and said, "Will it be so easy?" Even if this king could really catch him, he would speak. ”

Zheng Yunlin patted the table and hinted: "As long as the person is in the hands of the prince, is it so important for him to say it or not?" ”

But even so, Zhu Xian was still a little hesitant: "When my father suppressed the assassination case, it was already clear that he was biased towards him." If this king goes to trouble him now, he is not asking for trouble. ”

Well, this man isn't exactly a mallet. Zheng Yunlin smiled and said: "Why should the prince worry too much, the person standing behind Lu Jue is King Luo, and he has always been a problem for the emperor with heavy troops!" If, the prince can use Lu Jue to help the emperor get rid of this big trouble this time, it is that who else cares about these little things in the court. ”

These words obviously spoke to Zhu Xian's heart, but this matter was still hesitating: "However, without the holy decree of my father, this king has no right to arrest Lu Jue privately, if 、、、、、、"

"The prince can rest assured, when he arrives in the main hall, the old minister will definitely help the prince." Seeing that he was still hesitating, Zheng Yunlin had no choice but to give him another dose of safe medicine.

"Okay" Zhu Xian patted the table and got up, and said confidently: "This king will believe you this time." After a pause, he suddenly bent down and held on to the table to remind him: "By the way, there is one more thing, that is, your son, it is best to leave the capital in the next few days, Lu Jue is not a fuel-efficient lamp, that thing is our handle after all, if he finds a chance to turn over, then it will really be impossible to steal chickens and rice." ”

Zheng Yunlin returned the salute and said, "The old minister remembers the words of the prince. ”

Zhu Xian was only thinking about how to catch Lu Jue as soon as possible, if he could really get Lu Jue, he could pave his way to the crown prince, and he didn't think much that it would be a lose-lose trap. also hurriedly issued an eviction order: "Zheng Qing! This king still has something to do, so I won't leave you much. After speaking, without waiting for Zheng Yunlin to answer, he left first.

Looking at Zhu Xian's back, Zheng Yunlin smiled deeply, this time it will definitely not be like a mission!
