After Liu Fuling retreated, it didn't take long for Han Shao and Ma Chengqian to sit in Lu Jue's guest room.

Looking at the two, Lu Jue said slightly apologetically: "I really don't want to go, I still brought the two of you here so late, if it wasn't for an emergency, I wouldn't disturb the two of you to rest." ”

Han Shao said: "The prince is serious, if there is anything urgent, please feel free to speak." ”

Ma Chengqian asked, "Could it be that there are any variables in the murder that happened tonight?" If the case is serious and dragged on for too long, hand it over to the local officials, so as not to delay our journey. ”

Lu Jue shook his head and said: "This matter is related to the case, and it doesn't seem to matter, I always feel that I have thought too much, but I have always been uneasy in my heart." As he spoke, he pursed his lips and pondered for a moment: "Back then, the old Marquis Han took the lead in clearing the remnants of the former dynasty and has been running on the front line, I don't know if I have heard of a general surnamed Lu." ”

Before he finished speaking, the faces of the two people sitting on the side had changed, and Han Shao stared at Lu Jue and asked, "Could it be that this case is related to this person?" ”

Lu Jue frowned and said: "I hope I think too much, in recent years, in addition to the external nuisance of the Jin Kingdom, the forces of the former dynasty have also begun to move. Among the cases investigated and recovered by Dali Temple this year, there have been seven or eight cases related to the remnants of the previous dynasty. The prince's guard of honor must have caused a lot of turmoil, and the capital is close at hand, so I am worried that someone has made a clever arrangement. ”

Ma Chengqian and Han Shao glanced at each other, turned to Lu Jue and said: "In the early years of Tianyou, there was a former military general who recruited troops on a large scale, and the imperial court sent people to encircle and suppress it many times. ”

Lu Jue asked, "What about their families?" ”

But Ma Chengqian was just about to speak, but when he turned his head to look at Han Shao, he suddenly stopped talking.

But Han Shao said: "Since the case here involves the remnants of the previous dynasty, then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not stay here for a long time, I will order it to go down, tomorrow morning, regardless of whether the weather is good or not, whether the murderer is caught, we should set off as soon as possible." ”

Lu Jue is so smart, he has already seen their small actions just now, and he knows that the two of them are deliberately trying to hide something. He didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Then there is the old marquis of Lao Han." He stood up, raised his hand and said, "Please." ”

The two got up and said, "Minister, retire." He bowed and withdrew.

As soon as he left Lu Jue's guest room, Ma Chengqian invited Han Shao aside and asked, "Master Hou is in such a hurry to come out, but what do you want to talk to me about alone?" ”

Han Shao nodded and said in a low voice: "During dinner, news came from the capital that the emperor was not sick. ”

Ma Chengqian's face changed and said: "Master Hou thinks that this matter is not the remnants of the previous dynasty, but the hands and feet done by the capital?" ”

"Whether it is the remnants of the previous dynasty or the saint's clever arrangements, we all have to be cautious, we have finally come to this point, we can't make any mistakes here, or the sooner we leave, the better."

"Should we also do something, or I'll fix a book now, and let Jiang Huan make some moves in Beijing, although it is a little insignificant, useful or useless, but at least it can play a role in knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger."

This coincided with Han Shao, he nodded and said: "Just do it, it's best to give a shout to Old General Yao in advance, now that King Luo has fallen, only his prestige in the army is still the same as before, so we won't be too passive when it comes to the moment." The emperor thought that in addition to the Luo Wang lineage, the border pass could also be pacified, and with the support of the Wei family, he could sit back and relax. If it weren't for King Luo in the town in the past few years, Wei would have been unable to hold his breath a long time ago, and it would be a matter of time before he was removed, but we can't let the prince be hurt again! ”

After listening to him, Ma Chengqian's face became solemn again, and he was a little worried: "Then do we want to reveal some news to His Royal Highness the Prince, so that he will not be burdened by family affection when he gets it." Although he is known as the white-faced Yama and seems to be iron-faced and selfless, he only punishes the guilty, like those of the nine clans who are involved in the lighter proportions, either the punishment is reduced or not punished. King Luo and King Jin have already suffered their losses, and they can't let the prince follow in their footsteps. It is better to get rid of Webster first after returning to Beijing, and then level the remnants of the previous dynasty. ”

Han Shao agreed to his proposal without thinking much after listening to him, "In this way, we will go our separate ways, you go and write to Jiang Huan, and I will talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again." ”

"Okay" In this way, the two acted separately, no matter who thought about it more, the only thing they thought about was that they had finally got a stable country, and they could always be peaceful, at least not because of the battle between the royal families, and it would not be ruined!

The heavy snow that fluttered in the middle of the night gradually decreased, and everywhere was white, and although there was no light in the backyard of people who did not come often, there was nothing to see through the snow.

After talking to Lu Jue, Lu Yin couldn't sit still, and after thinking and struggling for a while, he put on a gray cloak and held an oil-paper umbrella, walking back and forth in the snow as if waiting for someone.

But in the middle of the tea, two figures came. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Yin turned his head to look over, and those eyes were shining like stars in the night. When the two stepped forward, they smiled lightly, and said softly, "You're here." Stretched out his hand to hold the older woman, who knew that the woman had cleverly dodged, the smile on Lu Yin's face froze on his face, and he didn't know what to do with that hand raised there.

This older woman is none other than Yuexiu. The little girl Xing'er standing on the side, seeing that the two of them thought that they were in the way, smiled and made an excuse: "The tea is still boiling on the fire, it is estimated that it will be almost ready, I'll take a look, brother, you and Sister Yuexiu have a good talk." Saying that, she pulled Lu Yin's sleeve and gave him a hint with a look, and ran away without waiting for Lu Yin to reply, when she turned the corner and quietly hid aside, she was afraid that her brother would not be able to save Yuexiu, so she secretly listened to the two of them talk carefully.

Lu Yin withdrew his hand, took two steps forward with the umbrella, leaned the umbrella towards Yuexiu, and asked softly, "How are you doing?" ”

But that Yuexiu didn't want to get close to him, so she took two steps and said: "We have made it clear at the beginning, since you didn't want to take me away at the beginning, then now we are even more impossible!" ”

"I know it was my cowardice at the beginning, but I just want to be famous, so that I can take you away in a righteous and bright way, I don't want you to be wronged." Stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said guiltily: "Yuexiu, don't refuse me thousands of miles away, let me repay my mistakes, okay?" ”

Yuexiu snorted, shook off his hand and said, "You are too naïve." ”

Lu Yin lowered his head and said with a sad face: "It's me who is naïve, or you are naïve." ”

Yuexiu froze and said, "What do you mean?" ”

He knew her too well, and there were naturally other reasons why she didn't go with him back then, except for her own cowardice. Lu Yin sighed deeply and said with a wry smile: "Don't think in vain, Lord Lu is by no means a person of lust, if he really has this thought, he will not be in his twenties without a daughter to accompany him!" ”

Yuexiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's none of your business, I have my own way, if you can't bring me the life I want, you shouldn't stop me from pursuing." He looked at Lu Yin resolutely.

At this time, Lu Yin's whole heart was even colder than this cold winter, and he smiled sadly: "I hope you are doing well, but I also hope that you will turn back, you are too naïve, Lord Lu is definitely not as simple as you think, he is not as gentle as he looks, the adult said that he would not wronged a good person, and he would not let go of a guilty person, he would do it when he said it." Do you think that if you tie up with him, you will be prosperous and rich, and you will escape the blame! Raised his left hand and opened his hand, a delicate bead flower fluttered down, and then glanced at Yuexiu, it was no longer wanted, no longer entangled, and disappointed, in short, after looking at her with complicated eyes, he turned around and left.

Yuexiu looked at the bead flower on the ground, a drop of red on it was particularly eye-catching, and she looked at Lu Yin's departing figure in shock, and seemed to understand something.

Xing'er, who had been eavesdropping on the sidelines, saw that the two of them were unhappy, and caught up with Lu Yin and said anxiously: "Brother, what's the matter with you!" Don't you know how to talk to Sister Yuexiu! ”

Lu Yin stopped and was full of apologies, patted Xing'er on the shoulder and said, "I'm just a poor scholar who can't deserve her, Xing'er, don't force her anymore, we won't have results." ”

Xing'er said anxiously: "How could it be!" You think about her every day, don't you? ”

"You still don't understand, her heart is high." Squeezed her shoulders hard and walked alone.

"Brother" brother couldn't make sense, so she decided to find Yuexiu to talk about it.

At the time of the third watch, not long after the change fell, a figure came out of the main building and cautiously approached the scene of the murder. Just a few hours after the incident, before the murderer was caught, the personnel guarding the scene had already evacuated, but such an unreasonable thing did not attract the attention of the person, and the person turned around and saw that there was really no one else, so he pushed the door open and entered the utility room with confidence.

The man was afraid that the light and sound would attract Lu Jue's subordinates, so he smeared and groped inside inch by inch. Just as he groped his way to the center of the house, he heard the sound of someone gasping for breath, and the sound of the silence of everything at night was heard clearly, and the man couldn't help but stop the movements of his men, and looked around very nervously, and it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly. This room had just died, and had been inspected before coming, and there could be no one here. But this subtle wheezing sound was so clear, the man's nerves tensed, and his subordinates also panicked, and accidentally touched a stool, and when the stool landed, there was a cry of pain at the same time, and the man was not comforting himself, shouting that there was a ghost, and he ran away, and ran to the door, and just opened the door, and before he took a step, his feet were stunned on the spot, his face couldn't help but twist into a mess, and he smiled, stammering: "You 、、、、、、 why are you here." ”

The man outside the door laughed a few times and said, "My brother is a god!" I will count you accurately. As far as your skills are concerned, if we are discovered by you, how can we follow my brother to investigate and catch thieves in the future!" Saying that, step by step approached and stepped into the house.

"You, are there any others?" The man was forced back into the center of the room, and looked around by the sporadic firelight, and there seemed to be several figures in the corner.

Yao Minghao waved his hand and said, "Take a good look for yourself." He was followed by a few guards carrying lanterns, and suddenly the entire utility room was illuminated.

The room was lit up, and he could see clearly, a few people who were tied up in the corner of the side were squatting there. Looking at the person who came in, he completely understood now, and now he had a hundred mouths that could not be justified, and the man sat down on the ground deflated.
