Lu Jue, who got out of the criminal department safely, was not at ease, but added a wisp of sadness. This case is getting more and more complicated, not only involving more than 20 years of anti-enemy military division, but also the appearance of a person who should have died, and what hurts him the most is that his father-in-law, who has nothing to do with this matter, is also implicated. There are too many coincidences with the same surname, and he doesn't know how many ulteriors there are here.

In addition to this incident, there is another question that makes him even more distressed, that is, why did the fixed kinship token he gave to his fiancée appear in the hands of his father-in-law, could it be that he has postponed his marriage in recent years, which made his fiancée complain; And Cheng Chong is the murderer of the emperor, not only keeps saying that he wants to see him, but also holds the token that should be on his father-in-law? Although everything was personally admitted by Cheng Chong and handed over to him by another person, who can control himself with his own thoughts, and he has no other ideas.

Public heart and selfishness made Lu Jue very distressed, and he wanted to ask his father-in-law for clarification, but he didn't know how to speak. It was because he repeatedly postponed his marriage that he had an estrangement from the Zhou family. If you ask inappropriately in this matter, you will hurt your father-in-law's heart. will only make the gap between himself and the Zhou family deeper, and it will only be more difficult to get along with his fiancée in the future. All the worries made Lu Jue's heart disordered, and after arranging Cheng Chong, he walked aimlessly on the street alone, and walked unconsciously to the restaurant opened by his second brother in the capital.

The return house is a three-storey restaurant, different from other richly decorated restaurants, the layout here is simple and elegant, although there is no such thing as those dusty women. A few melodious piano songs, a few beautiful minor tunes also have a unique taste. 、

However, Lu Jue did not enter through the main entrance, but took a detour to the back door. The door to the backyard was open, and he went in without knocking, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw several people standing in the courtyard, and they were pointing at a few baskets of vegetables, fish, and meat, as if they were trading. But this scene did not make Lu Jue feel noisy, but made his heart warm, and his frowning brows gradually relaxed, and a warm smile appeared.

At this time, I don't know who called: "Sixth Master." ”

Those people stopped trading and looked at Lu Jue, and among them, a middle-aged man with a white face and a beautiful man who was about forty years old, looked even more surprised, as if he couldn't appear here now, and the whole person was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.

But it was quickly replaced by kind smiles and words. He hurriedly handed over everything in his hands to others, and stepped forward with enthusiasm and asked, "Are you here, have you recovered?" Looking around, he was the only one who pulled down his face and reproached: "Why don't you see the people around you, are you the only one?" ”

Lu Jue smiled warmly and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child, I'm fine alone." I was sick for a few days at home every day, and now I want to go out for a walk as soon as I get better, so I don't take anyone with me. ”

The person Lu Jue called was his second brother Lu Tianhua, because of Lu Jue's physical reasons, his parents wanted to follow him, but when he was old, he only had to take care of his second son, who had been doing business in the capital.

Lu Tianhua is much older than Lu Jue, and he is also a father and a brother, and the temperament of the two is almost the same, and the relationship is the best among the brothers!

Hearing him say this, Lu Tianhua's face changed and he reproached: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is not yet well, how dare you walk alone." Even if you are afraid of trouble and don't want to be followed, can't you let your subordinates notify me, and I will pick you up in person. Look at this mess, what should you do if you make a noise! "It's a reproach, but the most is concern.

These words made Lu Jue's heart very warm, and he smiled and immediately admitted his mistake: "Yes, what the second brother taught is that if I don't take it as an example, next time I think about it, I will definitely notify the second brother in advance and let the second brother pick it up in person." ”

Lu Tianhua smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "That's right, that's right." As he spoke, he lowered his face and pretended to be angry, saying, "Also, when you go back, I will inform your door." The next time I'll go back when you're sick, don't let him stop there. Saying that, he sighed, and said with compassion in his eyes: "You don't know, I can't get in and out these days, and I can't find any news about you, so I can't eat or sleep when I'm worried!" ”

Lu Jue said apologetically: "I was so sick this time that I forgot to tell me to go down." They were afraid that something would bother me to recuperate, so Poria would order her to go down and refuse everyone's visits. In this way, I will go back and let Poria preach to them well. ”

Lu Tianhua nodded and said with satisfaction: "Since you're here, let's eat here!" It's been a long time since I've seen my second brother sit and talk, and I'll send you back personally after dinner. ”

"Okay" Lu Jue didn't shirk and responded in one bite.

Lu Tianhua was very surprised to agree to it so simply, but he was more happy, and immediately summoned his subordinates to order: "Aqiu, Aqiu is coming." ”

"Here we are." The subordinate named Aqiu answered and ran to him and hurriedly asked, "What do you have to say about the second master?" ”

Lu Tianhua smiled and said: "You immediately order the kitchen to make the sixth master's favorite food, remember not to be too greasy, not too spicy." ”

"Yes" Aqiu responded with a smile on his face, but was stopped just as he was about to leave.

"Wait." Lu Tianhua beckoned people back, and continued to instruct: "There is also the plum blossom tea sent by the sixth master's mansion, the sixth master loves to drink." ”

"Yes"

"Hey, wait, remember to make tea, you must brew it as I taught you, and remember to use mountain spring water."

"Remembered." But he stood there, with no intention of moving.

Seeing that people didn't move, Lu Tianhua said angrily: "What are you still standing for, don't go quickly." ”

Aqiu said helplessly: "I'm afraid that the little one will be stopped by the second master before he leaves, so it's better to wait longer." ”

Lu Tianhua knocked on his head, lowered his face and said, "Don't be poor, didn't you see that the sixth young master is hungry, don't you go quickly." ”

"Yes," Aqiu replied and ran to the kitchen with a smile.

Looking at such a noisy scene, Lu Jue did not feel noisy, but felt warm. Because here he doesn't have to be vigilant and intrigued everywhere, and his warm smile didn't fall for a moment.

After ordering everything, Lu Tianhua turned his head and saw Lu Jue smiling, and then showed a smile that was more comfortable than him. At this time, he suddenly remembered another thing, and slapped his head and hurriedly said: "Oh, you see that I am so busy, I have forgotten a very important thing." ”

The sudden words made Lu Jue realize something, put away his smile and asked, "Is this matter related to me?" ”

Lu Tianhua nodded, looked at his face, and said in a low voice: "The master of the in-laws is waiting to see you on the third floor, it has been half an hour, I originally wanted to send someone to invite you after I was busy, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”

"My father-in-law wants to see me." Raising his head, he looked at the third floor with a solemn expression, and asked, "What can my father-in-law say about looking for me?" Originally, Lu Jue had the heart to ask his father-in-law for clarification, but to his surprise, his father-in-law would take the lead, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Seeing him like this, Lu Tianhua also took his heart, frowned and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Jue, could it be because of 、、、、、、?"

If you come, you will have to face it sooner or later, then it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, Lu Jue smiled miserably, turned around and interrupted him: "I'm going to see him, where is my father-in-law." ”

Lu Tianhua saw that this matter was not something he could meddle in, so he didn't say much and pointed to the third floor: "The third floor is near the river and the moon." He looked at the third floor and was not at ease: "After you go up, talk to Master Zhou, even if you are reprimanded as a junior, you must be humble and obedient, after all, we have 、、、、、、been wrong in the past few years." ”

Lu Jue looked at the third floor, nodded and said, "Got it." ”

"Okay, you go up first, I'll send someone to re-deliver the refreshments later." patted him on the shoulder, which can be regarded as a reminder and a reminder.

Lu Jue glanced at him, didn't reply but just hummed and went up to the third floor alone, thinking about what he wanted to say all the way, but when he really arrived at the door of 'Linjiang Zhaoyue', he began to feel uneasy again, and hesitated for a moment before pushing the door in.

The first thing that caught my eye was sitting at the table, the man who was dressed plainly and was watching him when he knew his destiny, and his mood became even heavier. Without waiting for this person to ask, Lu Jue stepped forward first, and said with a junior salute: "The little son-in-law Ziyu has seen his father-in-law." "Yes, this person is Lu Jue's father-in-law, Zhou Wenfeng, the richest man in Jiangnan.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, Zhou Wenfeng kept his eyes on the door, until Lu Jue came in and finished saluting him, his face changed and he smiled kindly, waved his hand to him to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and then got up and inspected the room they were in, and praised it pointedly: "It's rare, there is such a place in the capital where dragons and snakes are mixed, powerful and vulgar." As he spoke, he walked around the table, stopped a few steps away from Lu Jue, looked at him and said, "But I don't know if you can be like it, unstained." ”

It's normal for Zhou Wenfeng to ask such questions, the interests of officialdom have been in the arena for a long time, who really dares to say that he is spotless.

Being in officialdom will be suspected Lu Jue is not surprised, but his relatives also don't trust him, and his heart is inevitably desolate, he lowered his head and asked softly: "What about my father-in-law?" After staying in the power mall for a long time, has my father-in-law also learned to be mercenary? ”

In the face of his rhetorical question, Zhou Wenfeng did not defend himself, but asked with a smile: "I think what you want to ask most now should be whether I personally participated in this assassination case." ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhou Wenfeng with his eyes, and said, "Even if the child asks the father-in-law, he will tell the child the truth!" ”

Zhou Wenfeng smiled calmly and said, "What can you do if you know!" At this time, it is not said that the clearer can gain trust by clearing himself. Now I say that I have nothing to do with this matter, will you believe it, the three divisions will believe it, and the emperor will believe it? Does it matter if you don't say that? After that, he looked at Lu Jue with a smile, as if he didn't care what he would think, so he threw the problem to him again.

Although these words are cruel, this is the truth, Lu Jue sighed helplessly, frowned and said with a sad face: "As a child, no matter what your father-in-law says, you must believe it; But if it is Lu Jue, who is an official, naturally wants the truth. Although the child is contaminated with dust in this sludge, he has not yet reached the point of playing tricks on everyone. Children can't say that those who are clear are self-purifying, just a sentence worthy of their hearts. A few words come from the bottom of his heart, that kind of place of deception for a long time, he doesn't know if others will change it, but for him, family affection is the most precious. If he really chooses that he is willing to believe, even if he is told a lie, he is willing to accept it.

Who knew that after hearing these impassioned words, Zhou Wenfeng was not moved but laughed, he shook his head and said: "Don't talk about whether I recognize them or not; Don't talk about whether I have anything to do with this case, it is difficult to find out about the witch Gu case ten years ago, let alone the old people from more than 20 years ago. You know better than me about the political platform of the court situation, and the instability of the East Palace will rise sooner or later. Dong chaos together will give someone a chance, so there is no need to bother with what will happen to this assassination case, it is just a wake-up call for all those who deceive themselves. ”

has come to this point, Lu Jue is a little stupid if he doesn't understand it, to put it bluntly, this case is an introduction, and whether it is solved or not is a result. However, there are still some doubts to ask clearly, and only Zhou Wenfeng can answer this doubt. Lu Jue pondered for a moment and asked, "The person who asked Cheng Chong to send a message to me to leave the capital, a land of right and wrong, should be my father-in-law!" So what is the relationship between the father-in-law and Zhou Tan, as well as the Yuan Yuan who should have died? ”

Zhou Wenfeng has also seen through this little trick, and said with a deep smile: "Some things are not deliberately concealed if you don't tell you, you don't need to tell me how many eyeliners you have, you know best." The partition wall has ears, for your safety and the stability of the court, this matter will not be let you know, it is definitely for your good. ”

Lu Jue said: "It is not difficult to solve this case, but there is one thing that my father-in-law must know, that is, Cheng Chong must abandon it." ”

"Kindness! Hmph, now is not the time for morality. Seeing that he was silent, he guessed what he was thinking, knocked on the table, and reminded him that some problems could not be ignored, and that they could be treated as if they did not exist. One sentence pointed out clearly: "It's not that I want to abandon the pawn to protect the handsome, but the form is compelled, what your identity is well known to the government and the opposition, but some things are also obvious, that is, although you have the title of prince, you have not been justified but just a mystery." Those who are eyeing you want something to happen to you, let them catch you something, and will not show mercy to you and be charitable. ”

As an outsider, I already know the identity of myself and the unspeakable, let alone those who are eyeing him. It seems that some things are already indisputable facts, Lu Jue was shocked and gritted his teeth, staring at Zhou Wenfeng's somewhat old eyes, and said indignantly: "As an outsider in the court, how can my father-in-law know about these secret things, or do I say that some things will be related to my father-in-law, and my father-in-law is also exhausted with them." I know that I am a pawn to be used by everyone, but you are my relative, and I don't want to be used by you, but I am the last one to know! ”

Zhou Wenfeng lowered his head, and his eyes were even more compassionate. After a moment, he looked up at him, grabbed Lu Jue's shoulders tightly, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Ziyu, listen to me, there may be problems for the father in dealing with something, but you only need to remember one thing, that is, blood is thicker than water, maybe others will regard it as useless, but I will never turn my back on you for my daughter!" The sword mountain and the sea of fire are bound to be your pawns! These words are helpless, but they are also sincere.

These words made Lu Jue's body tremble, his eyes darkened, full of guilt, and his voice trembled and asked, "Shui'er has had a good life in the past few years." He took out the gourd jade pendant from his arms and asked, "Is it because I 、、、、、、" Lu Jue couldn't go on anyway, this seemed to be the result he was most unwilling to accept.

Zhou Wenfeng smiled bitterly, angry in his heart, his daughter was dragged on for three years, and she was deeply affected by gossip, so it was no wonder who was not angry. If you don't mention this matter, you will be angry when you mention it, and your speech will be full of sarcasm: "The words of the matchmaker of the parents, the husband's unauthorized withdrawal from the marriage without fault is related to the law, and my Zhou family can't afford to eat cloth." Since Shui'er returned home, she must read the "Female Commandment" every day to know what it means to start from one to the end, three from the four virtues, as long as the husband's family does not have a retirement document, no matter how many years it takes. ”

These words made Lu Jue even more embarrassed, and negative people have been a derogatory term since ancient times. He bowed deeply and said with sincerity: "Father-in-law should be the first to drink a word to wake up the sleeping person, and the child will never continue to make mistakes." There is no other luxury, I just hope that the father-in-law will believe the child's words, and there will only be one wife in the child's lifetime. ”

How could Zhou Wenfeng not be able to tell the difference between the true feelings and false intentions when he had passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, looked at him for a long time, patted him on the shoulder, pressed him to the seat, and said: "Ziyu, I might as well tell you, it is indeed my intention to ask you to leave this place of right and wrong, and I have no choice but to tell you through the mouth of others." The old cases of ten years ago and the anomalies of more than twenty years ago are all piled up at this time, and all the consequences can be imagined. To say a high-sounding reason, for the sake of the people of the court, you should also put your own safety first, and leave the capital immediately after listening to your father's words. ”

Having said that, there was nothing to hesitate, Lu Jue also decided to give Zhou Wenfeng a dose of reassurance, and said with a slight smile: "The child understands, the father-in-law can rest assured, the child will leave the capital after this case is resolved." ”

Zhou Wenfeng was silent for a while, turned his head to look elsewhere and asked inexplicably: "Have you figured out how to deal with Cheng Chong!" ”

It seems that no one is born a bad person, Lu Jue smiled frankly and replied: "If you don't doubt that your father-in-law wants a child to solve it, why don't you believe that a child will have a way to do both." ”

"I have a lot of heart for my father." After that, Zhou Wenfeng smiled a little embarrassedly, and after a moment of silence, he squinted at Lu Jue, and said deliberately: "Have you thought about what reason to leave Beijing?" ”

Lu Jue smiled and said, "Is there a more suitable reason than this when the wedding date is approaching?" "Zhou Wenfeng has been in Beijing for several months, and there is no intention of leaving, and with the power of the court at this time, and Zhou Wenfeng's too many unspeakable secrets, everything is clear. So, there is no need to hesitate.

Zhou Wenfeng was deeply comforted by this person who was so smart, walked to the table and poured two cups of tea, one cup in one hand, and said: "Replace wine with tea, I wish you and I can make our wishes come true." He handed the teacup in his hand to Lu Jue.

Lu Jue took it and said confidently: "That's inevitable." "Gently clinked glasses with Zhou Wenfeng and drank them all.

These days, there has been something at home, and it has been delayed until now, please understand, I hope you will support me
