Xiahou Valve, Lingyuntang.

"What the Taishi said is," Zhu Xiuyi nodded when he heard this: "Early this morning, the students went to the fire site to investigate, and the scene has been burned to the ground, and nothing has been found. ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "And I asked those warehouse officials and soldiers, and they all believed in the fire dragon. Especially those warehouse officials, no matter how I hinted, they refused to change their words. It seems that they have thought it through, and this is in their best interest...... Now that the fire dragon burning warehouse is conclusive, we can't turn it over without conclusive evidence. ”

"Then set off a big prison and torture them, I don't believe they are still hard-mouthed!" Xiahou Lei shouted.

"What are you yelling about?" Xiahou Ba glared at Xiahou Lei, and said in a gloomy manner: "If the surname Lu dares to do this, he must have already mastered some evidence." If you really want to investigate hard, you and the Xie family will be shaken out together about the interception of official food! ”

"Yes, they just calculated it this time, and when we get angry, we will understand that this is actually a result that is beneficial to both parties." Zhu Xiuyi said with some admiration: "The people who are imaginative, but direct to the hearts of the people, come up with this method, are talented." ”

"So that's it?" Again and again, he was deflated by the Lu family's father and son, not to mention Xiahou Lei, even Xiahou Li was difficult to accept.

"Of course not!" Xiahou Ba let out a long sullen breath and said: "The means of surnamed Lu are far higher than the old man imagined, he now has Huangfu Yu behind his back, plus the Wei Valve, and Cui Valve are also unclear with him, and there are signs of becoming a big problem for this Valve......"

Saying that, Xiahou Ba's eyes showed a fierce light, and he looked at the three of them viciously: "Wen can't come to martial arts, if you don't get rid of this scourge, will you still keep him for the New Year?" ”

"What do you mean, big brother?" Xiahou Li asked in a low voice, "Kill him directly?" ”

"Hmm." Xiahou Ba looked at Zhu Xiuyi and said, "Mr. planned it, and I did it a few years ago." ”

"The students obeyed." Zhu Xiuyi responded, and reminded Xiahou to be domineering: "But the student also has to remind the lord that there is no impermeable wall in the world." Lu Xin is one of the eight deacons of the land valve, and if the secret is leaked, the two lords will not die. ”

"Hmm......" Xiahou Ba nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, it's not too late to peel the tiger skin off his body before making a move." ”

When Xiahou Li heard this, he laughed and said: "It is also said that that guy has offended too many people, and someone in Lu Valve has long wanted to get rid of him." ”

"What the third master is talking about is that the Great Elder Lu asked?" Zhu Xiuyi asked softly.

"Not bad." Xiahou Li nodded and said in a deep voice: "That guy has looked for me a few times in the past few days, saying that as long as this valve can support him to deal with Lu Shang, he can abolish Lu Xin for this valve and vent his anger to my eldest brother." I thought he looked too ugly inside and out, so I didn't answer him. ”

"You get in touch with him and see what he has to say." Xiahou Ba had also calmed down at this time, sat back in his seat, and said after a moment's silence: "Of course, it would be better to let Lu Valve's people come by themselves......

"Yes." Xiahou Li responded: "In a few days, it will be Pei Qiu's seventieth birthday, and Lu Wen will also go when the time comes, and I will take him to meet the eldest brother." ”

"Hmm." Xiahou Ba nodded.

。

Jingxinfang, Lu Xin's home.

Lu Xiang was worried for most of the day, and even ran to Mrs. Lu's Buddhist hall to burn incense, praying that the Bodhisattva could bless his son through this catastrophe.

He suffered until noon, and finally waited for Lu Shang's news, and learned that the matter had been revealed by the emperor, and the old man's hanging heart was put back in his stomach.

"Hahaha, the dragon is born, God bless my son! I'll just say, my son is for the people's disaster relief, and the Ji people have their own natural appearance! Lu Xiang was overjoyed at this time, and shouted loudly in the courtyard. Who can still read my son's jokes?! ”

His voice was so loud that it passed through the courtyard walls and into the ears of the people who came and went outside.

The clansmen of the land valve are also speechless.

"Now, Lu Xiang trembled again."

"Yes, I thought that Lu Xin would definitely not be able to escape this time, who would have thought that even God would help him."

"Could it be that his father and son really have God's blessing?"

The clansmen are completely convinced by your words and my words. They have grown so big, and they haven't seen anyone who can make Xiahou Valve touch his nose several times......

。

Five days later, Lu Xin returned to Beijing.

Although the imperial court no longer pursued the case, Xingluocang caught fire, and all the relief grain was burned. He, the disaster relief envoy, naturally had to hurry back to Beijing and wait for the imperial court to send it.

By the time Lu Yun saw him, it was already dark.

Taking Lu Xin's official hat, Lu Yun asked softly, "What is the result?" ”

"What else? Spare me the relief envoy and wait at home. Lu Xin washed his face, took the towel and wiped his hands clean and said, "This time, Xiahou Valve gave out two million stone grains, of course he can't let me be this good person." Xiahou took my errand without injury and went out to put grain. ”

"Yes, it couldn't be better." Lu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this: "It just so happens that the family is having a reunion year. Saying that, he beckoned Lu Xin to enter the table and said, "Come on, eat quickly." ”

"Yes, father." Lu Xin sat down next to Lu Xiang, took the rice bowl handed by Lu Ying, and asked Lu Yundao while eating: "I was in a hurry all the way, and I didn't ask what the situation was in Xingluocang now, and how many dead and injured there were." ”

"No one was punished, and no one was burned." Lu Yun knew that Lu Xin cared about this the most, and hurriedly replied: "It's just that dozens of people were injured when they were fighting the fire, and the children have already asked people to send condolences to thank them on behalf of their father." ”

"Well, that's good." Lu Xin nodded, letting go of his last thoughts. But he was a little curious and asked, "However, how could no one have burned to death in such a big fire that night?" ”

"The fire dragon burns the granary, not the people." Lu Yun smiled. Lu Ying also covered her mouth and smiled.

Lu Xin understood as soon as he heard it, of course he knew that the transfer warehouse also had fire prevention methods. A wide firebreak separates the granary from the rest of the building. The original intention of this design was naturally to prevent fires elsewhere from reaching the granary. Lu Yun only burned fire in the granary, and of course he couldn't burn anywhere else.

Seeing that the three of them were all smiling, only the second monk Lu Xiangzhang was puzzled, and asked unhappily: "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" It seems that he is hiding it from the old man, why don't you hurry up and listen to it? ”

"No, no, no. We were laughing happily and nothing else. Lu Yun hurriedly explained.

"Yes, yes, Daddy can go home safely for the New Year, isn't it enough for us to be happy?" Lu Ying also agreed.

"Uh-huh, that's right." Lu Xiang was really fooled, and happily pulled his son to drink.

The old man drank an average amount of alcohol, and after a while he got drunk. Lu Yun and Lu Xin helped him back into the room and settled down, and then quietly returned to the study to speak.
