Chapter 25 Seizure and Seizure
Wen Lushan's mission is to ambush outside the city, and it is an ambush army that responds to Shen Jiancheng after leaving the city, and it is best not to be good at moving, because it may be discovered by the Northern Shu hussars patrolling outside at any time.
Dai Qian's carrier pigeon is in Wen Lushan's hands, if it weren't for the urgency, Dai Qian would not have informed him, and Wen Lushan was also there when Dai Qian buried the corpse, no one was more suitable for this matter than him.
When Wen Lushan took the corpse, poured poison, moved the corpse, buried the corpse, and slashed the sword across the tree, the sound of Qi Ying's hooves had already entered Wen Lushan's ears, and Wen Lushan jumped away before Qi Ying found him.
Lu Kai said that the body was buried here, and the location was not accurate, Qi Ying could only spend some time looking for it slowly, but fortunately, he said that there was a mark, and Qi Ying had already seen the mark.
When Qi Ying was checking the body, Lu Kai called Fang Wenhou and said that he wanted to meet the prime minister, and the envoy visited the prime minister mostly for peace talks, Fang Wenhou did not ask much to accompany him, and when he arrived at the prime minister's mansion, there was a doorman answering the door, and Lu Kai asked "Miss Cheng can be in the mansion"
The family said, "Miss said that there is something to see today, and if there is something to do, the small one can convey it on your behalf."
If it weren't for Cheng Qingwan's orders, how could the family dare to speak like this, Lu Xingxing smiled bitterly, Cheng Qingwan was guarding against letting him enter the house.
Cheng Qingwan asked her subordinates to check if there were any strange things happening in the house, and the people in the house did not notice anything strange, such as wiping the table clean, and suddenly falling moss and dust, this cannot be said to be a strange thing, if the maid wants to say it in the ears of others, it can only be a careless thing, and the maid does not dare to say nonsense.
If you want to say something strange, even if it is firecrackers, Cheng Qingwan asked all over the house, and no one admitted to hitting firecrackers.
Of course, it is likely that the subordinates are afraid to tell the truth, but such a thing has never happened before, and there is no such unruly person in the house.
The more Cheng Qingwan thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she simply closed the door and disappeared.
Cheng Qingwan refused to see it, and Lu Kai glanced back at Fang Wenhou, who was standing at the foot of the steps of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Kaidao, "I originally wanted to meet the eldest lady, since there is something to do, then I will see you another day, please tell the prime minister that the envoy asks to see me"
Jia Ding said, "The festival envoy will be later, and the small one will go to report"
After a while, the family invited Lu Kai to enter, and Lu Kai said to Fang Wenhou, "I don't know when I will come out, if I am busy, let the other brothers wait."
Fang Wenhou said, "Don't get in the way, there is nothing important today"
Fang Wenhou insisted so much, Lu Kai didn't say anything more and said to Jiading, "There is labor to guide the way"
Jia Ding led Lu to Cheng Minghu's study, Cheng Minghu got up and greeted Jia Ding and said, "Tea"
Lu Kai thought that Cheng Minghu would meet him in the main hall, but he didn't expect to be met in the study, or if he came to the study, Cheng Qingwan was already a closed guest, and he couldn't return empty-handed this time.
The two sat down at the tea table, Cheng Minghu glanced at Lu Kai and said in person, "The envoy is fine, I can rest assured"
Lu Kai smiled and said, "With the order and the protection of the general, how can there be anything?"
Cheng Minghu knew that Lu Kai was polite, Cheng Weilian and Fang Wenhou didn't know what Cheng Minghu was doing, Cheng Minghu diverted the topic, "Is there something important for the envoy to come to the door?" ”
Lu Kai smiled idly, "Before coming, the King of Wei asked the lower officials to come to see the prime minister, and I hope the prime minister will bother more about talking about peace."
Lu Kai mentioned King Wei, Cheng Minghu's face sank, Lu Kai noticed the subtle changes in Cheng Minghu, from this point of view, I believe that the guess is not big, the two have met in private.
Cheng Minghu's face was different, and he said with a warm smile, "Talking about peace is a big matter, this is a matter of duty, and there is no need for King Wei to advise."
Cheng Minghu has a warm smile on his face, but there is a hint of unhappiness in Cheng Minghu's long-term officialdom, it stands to reason that no matter who is allowed to fold his face, he should not be displeased to fight back on the spot, and it can also be seen from this that Tuoba Rui's use of Cheng Weilian to threaten Cheng Minghu is to touch Cheng Minghu's bottom line.
Cheng Minghu's words have come to this, and Lu Kai is not easy to continue, since entering the study, Lu Kai's eyes have never fallen on the desk and box, and Lu Kai is not looking at it now, "The prime minister is busy with affairs and has time to read?" I've been to the Taishi Mansion, and there are more paintings of the Taishi New Year than books."
Cheng Minghu remembered that Chang Yue sneered at the moment, but he didn't say anything bad about Chang Yue, even if he didn't like Chang Yue, he couldn't show discord in front of the envoy.
Cheng Minghu glanced back at the bookshelf and said with a smile: "In your spare time, reading the subset of scriptures and history can nourish your mind and calm your mind, and some people have different preferences, whether it is flower scissors or planting flowers and raising birds, it is a way to relax your body and mind."
Although Cheng Minghu and Chang Yue are political enemies, judging from their words, Cheng Minghu is quite polite to Chang Yue.
Lu Kai smiled and said, "The prime minister is right"
Cheng Minghu asked casually, "I don't know the envoy, what do you like in your spare time?" ”
Lu Kai responded with a light smile, "Xiaguan is lazy on weekdays, and when he looks at the subset of history, he is dizzy, and the matter of cutting flowers and planting flowers is even more boring, and when he has spare time, he only wishes to spend time boating on the lake."
Cheng Minghu smiled at the moment, "Spend your time boating on the lake, so free!" ”
Cheng Minghu didn't want to be free to boat around the lake, but he was just the prime minister, so he couldn't help but be so idle.
The next person got tea, although Lu Kai spoke, he was actually in a hurry, because he couldn't think of a way to let Cheng Minghu leave the study, if Cheng Minghu didn't leave, how could he have a chance to open the sandalwood box.
When Lu Kai was chatting, he heard the voice of the subordinate outside the door of the study, "Young master, no, the master is meeting guests"
Cheng Weilian deliberately chose to have guests to come, and some guests would be lighter when they were in Cheng Minghu, and Cheng Minghu beat him a lot, which was to gain experience from it.
Cheng Weilian came to the door of the study with a rattan whip in his hand, knelt down and raised his voice, "Dad, the child knows his mistake and is here to admit punishment."
When a guest beats him in Cheng Minghu, the guest will always help him say two good words, because of the guest's affection, Cheng Minghu can only beat him twice, Cheng Weilian didn't expect that this time the guest was Lu Kai.
Cheng Weilian returned to the house one step ahead of time, knowing that there was a guest coming, but he didn't know that it was Lu Kai, Cheng Weilian didn't think that Lu Kai would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cheng Wei raised his voice, Cheng Minghu walked out of the study, Lu Kai was about to step out of the door, his feet were still within the threshold, Cheng Minghu stood outside the door and asked "What are you messing about"
Cheng Wei even raised his head, and in addition to Cheng Minghu, he also looked at Lu Xingxing and said, "Why did he come over?"
Cheng Minghu came out, Cheng Weilian lowered his head and held the rattan whip high with both hands, repeating "The child knows his mistake and comes to admit punishment"
Of course, Cheng Minghu knew what mistake Cheng Weilian admitted, so he pretended not to know and asked, "What mistake did you make?" ”
Cheng Wei even admitted his mistake sincerely, and his words were extremely sincere, "The child should not be good at calling the city defense army into the office, and there is negligence in care, and he almost made a mistake in making the envoy thoughtful."
Cheng Minghu didn't look back, he glanced back from the corner of his eye, and he could see Lu Kai behind him, Cheng Minghu said to him, "Go down"
The subordinate was ordered to retreat.
Cheng Minghu came to Cheng Weilian, but he didn't pick up the rattan whip and snorted coldly, "The official is not very prestigious, but the officialdom's bad habit of cutting first and then playing is learned quickly."
Cheng Wei said, "The child doesn't dare"
Lu Kai was short of breath, because he felt that he was going to take a mortal risk, Cheng Minghu now turned his back to him and reprimanded Cheng Weilian, Cheng Weilian hung his head and held a rattan whip high, no one paid attention to him, and he was in the house, which can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
There is no better opportunity than this, and when the opportunity is made, Lu Kai began to retreat, his steps were very fast, and his pace was very light.
Lu Kai retreated to the tea table, and Cheng Minghu reprimanded him without looking back.
Lu Kai retreated to the desk, and Cheng Weilian still bowed his head and accepted the punishment.
Lu Kai took the wooden lid of the sandalwood box lightly, the wooden lid was raised, and what was placed in the sandalwood box was not confidential documents, but more than ten black heart pills, Lu Kai took a pill and carried the lid back to the sandalwood cover.
At the same speed as the speed of the tea table, when the person arrived at the tea table, Cheng Minghu grabbed the rattan whip with his right hand, "You will choose the time to admit punishment, it just so happens that the envoy will beat you here!" ”
As soon as Cheng Minghu took the rattan whip, Cheng Wei raised his head, and just saw Lu Kai from the inside out, hurriedly stopping inside the door.
Lu Kai returned to his original position in three steps, but unfortunately Cheng Weilian had already seen it.
Lu Kai asked Cheng Wei to collide with him, so he could only plan to go out and pretend to be nothing, and said with a smile, "The prime minister doesn't have to be like this, the order to let the city defense army enter the department is also to protect the subordinates, is it a merit or a fault."
Cheng Minghu listened to Lu Kai's intercession, and said with a straight face, "The envoy doesn't have to speak for this rebel, he won't be wronged by beating him!" ”
Although Cheng Minghu said that he wanted to fight, the hand holding the whip was hanging, and Lu Xingxing knew that Cheng Minghu was just making a show, whether he was acting or really wanted to fight, after all, the godson was already in shape, and it was not good to watch from the side.
Lu Kai arched his hand and said, "The lower officials have been bothering for a long time, and there are some side matters, so I won't bother the prime minister."
Cheng Minghu said, "If this is the case, then there will be no envoys"
"Resignation"
Cheng Minghu said, "Someone, send the messenger"
A subordinate stepped forward and led Lu Kai away.
Lu Xingxing jumped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in shock, this trip was full of surprises, happy that he finally got the heart pill, and what was surprised was Cheng Weilian's eyes, thinking in his heart, "Did he see what I was taking, if he saw it, why didn't he say it on the spot?" With a nervous heart, he returned to the pawn office with Fang Wenhou.
Fang Wenhou only sent it outside the door and didn't go in, Lu Kai returned to the courtyard and was about to push the door in, only to hear Cheng Weilian shouting, "Stop!" ”
Lu Kai looked back and saw that Cheng Weilian was greatly surprised, it took three minutes from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Pawn Office, Fang Wenhou escorted Lu Kai back to the Office and there was nothing important for the horse Xu to be slow, Cheng Weilian was still in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he left the house, but now the people are back with their front and back feet, needless to say, it must be a fast horse.
There was Fang Wenhou escorting him along the way, and Cheng Weilian thought that no matter what Lu Kai took in his father's study, the things must still be on him.
Cheng Weilian didn't say it on the spot, because he was afraid that he wouldn't find anything on Lu Kai's body, and he would frame him in front of his father to make it difficult for this matter to end.
Cheng Wei saw Lu Kai looking at him in surprise, grabbed the front of him, and pinched Lu Kai's right arm with his left hand, which had been wounded by the sword, and the wound had not healed yet.
Cheng Weilian shouted violently: "Say! Stealing something from my dad's study! ”
