Lu Xiaofeng was really at a loss, he had hoped to be attached to the prince before, but he was unwilling to be used as a pawn in the party struggle, especially a pawn that might be abandoned at any time. At present, the situation is so complicated, and King Yan is so powerful, dealing with such a case against King Yan, it is not certain who will die on both sides, the outcome is unpredictable, life and death are uncertain, Lu Xiaofeng does not have the courage to wade into this troubled water, in case this matter is finally confirmed to be false, or King Yan counterattacks, he must be the first to bear the brunt of the arrow. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble, he panicked, he broke out in a cold sweat in a panic, and his speech was out of proportion, "Burn the letter, just act as if nothing happened, we haven't seen this letter, and no one is allowed to mention this letter in the future." ”

Hua Wangu was still sober, and he immediately denied Lu Xiaofeng's method: "You dare to guarantee that all the servants in our house are reliable?" Who knows who is Jinyiwei's secret agent here? If you burn the letter, what if someone accuses you of destroying the evidence without permission? At that time, you will not only be arrested and imprisoned in Jinyiwei, but you will most likely be convicted as a fellow party of King Yan. ”

Lu Xiaofeng sat down on the chair weakly, but he didn't expect that only half of his butt was sitting on the chair, and he almost fell to the ground due to the unstable center of gravity, Hua Wangu saw Lu Xiaofeng's gaffe, and hurriedly came over to support Lu Xiaofeng, and proposed his solution: "For today's plan, the only way to transfer this case to the Criminal Department is to transfer it to the Criminal Department, if it can be pushed to the Criminal Department, I dare to guarantee that this kind of case is in the hands of the officials of the Criminal Department, and the case will be complicated to the point of nerve-wracking from investigation to trial, then you will be much easier, and it is possible to get out smoothly." And even if they don't accept it, we can ask him for a while, wait for a change, look at the direction of the wind in the DPRK, look at the attitudes of all parties, and more importantly, look at the public opinion in the DPRK and China, and then make plans. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng felt a lot relieved, but he still couldn't be completely relieved, and asked with a twist of his eyebrows: "What if I give it directly to Jinyiwei?" ”

Hua Wangu immediately objected: "You must not give it to Jinyiwei, as long as this letter is in the hands of Jinyiwei, you will really become a pawn in the hands of others, then you will fall into the hands of the other party, at that time, you can't clear the suspicion of dissidents for the prince, once King Yan is fine, then you will be in big trouble." ”

Coming out of the yamen, Lu Xiaofeng had a headache all the way and was sent to the Criminal Department, hehe, Lu Xiaofeng sat in a sedan chair, like sitting on pins and needles, he only had distress and entanglement at this time, although he and the Criminal Department had never had any bad relations, but it was just the past, and those officials of the Criminal Department were just nodding their heads, and now they made it clear that they were going to shake off the black pot, who could be stupid enough to carry it for themselves?

got off the sedan chair in front of the gate of the criminal department, Lu Xiaofeng looked at the gate of the yamen of the criminal department, and didn't take a step for a long time, so that the sedan chair man behind him thought that he was not serving well.

"Isn't that the old way?" A voice came from behind him: "Coincidentally, I met here today." ”

Lu Xiaofeng looked back, and the person who spoke was Zhao Quande, the envoy of Shandong, and he was followed by a middle-aged man in his forties, who he also recognized, and he was also an old acquaintance, Guo Huan, the deputy envoy of Shandong.

It's really an endless road, Lu Xiaofeng is worried that he can't start, the appearance of these two people makes him see a glimmer of hope, maybe these two people are his saviors.

"Lao Zhao, Lao Guo, what's the matter, I'm here to report back to Beijing?" Lu Xiaofeng seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, hurriedly pasted it hotly, and greeted the two enthusiastically.

"What kind of job?" Zhao Quande began to complain: "In the first few months, Lao Guo and I worked hard to arrest a few Han Lin'er's remnants, and the confession evidence was readily available, and it was reported to the Criminal Department together with the criminals. No, Lao Guo and I brought a few people who handled the case to the Criminal Department to confront each other, and if we don't understand the case, we will be in big trouble. ”

Although Lu Xiaofeng and Guo Huan have known each other for many years, they were not familiar with each other before, and at this time, in order to do things conveniently, Lu Xiaofeng became more enthusiastic, "Old Guo, remember that you have always handled cases correctly, how can this happen this time?" ”

Guo Huan is less than forty years old, and there is a daunting and chilling momentum on his body, which can only be realized in contact with him, with no lack of fortitude in calmness, and ruthlessness in calmness. Guo Huan also felt strange when he saw Lu Xiaofeng so enthusiastic, but he was a very well-cultivated person, and he was also very skilled in socializing in the officialdom: "Those thieves just want to take advantage of loopholes to save their lives, and the trapped beasts are still fighting, the facts are clear, the evidence is clear, and it is easy to explain." ”

Lu Xiaofeng continued to talk to Guo Huan and Zhao Quande, and said casually: "It's really strange, in the past two years, Han Lin'er's remnants of the party have suddenly popped up so much, and now the area of Zhili Capital is also spreading, saying that although Han Lin'er Shenjiang is dead, he has a prince who is still in the world, and he wants to come back to get back his country, you say that this Han Lin'er remnants are really arrogant, how many years have I established the country in the Ming Dynasty, and I still dare to be so bewitching and making waves among the people, these gang of thieves are really hateful." ”

The topic of Lu Xiaofeng immediately attracted Guo Huan's attention, Guo Huan listened very carefully, and asked with concern: "Is there a lot of folk rumors in Zhili?" Do you know who is spreading the word? ”

Guo Huan is a little sensitive to Han Lin'er's affairs, and Lu Xiaofeng also thinks it's normal, after all, the reason why he came back this time is related to Han Lin'er, so it's okay, I'll follow this topic with you, hoping to get to my own affairs.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and moved closer to Guo Huan, pretending to be indifferent and said: "I don't care too much, how can the yamen care about this, I think it's nothing more than a story made up by some charlatans in order to cheat and deceive, let alone the son of Han Lin'er, even if Han Lin'er himself is alive, what can he do?" Today's emperor is working hard, our Ming Dynasty is stable, what kind of climate can a few thieves who pretend to be ghosts become? ”

Guo Huan attached great importance to Lu Xiaofeng's words, and said to Lu Xiaofeng very solemnly: "Old Lu, next time there will be this kind of news, you remember to keep a snack, we are also making trouble in Shandong now, a few thieves are not terrible, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this to make waves, if there is a civil uprising, we will have a great responsibility according to the judge." ”

Zhao Quande, who was on the side, was afraid that Guo Huan would ask again, so he quickly interjected and diverted the topic: "Old Lu, what are you doing in the Criminal Department?" The file in your hand, also to talk about the case? ”

The opportunity came, "If you want to talk about this case, it really has something to do with your Lao Zhao." Lu Xiaofeng knew that Zhao Quande had been an envoy in Beiping, but Zhao Quande was transferred to Shandong before Zhu Di, the king of Yan, became a vassal of the domain, so the relationship is not big, but after all, this can also hard-pull a little relationship, so he pretended to be mysterious and said: "I received an unsigned letter this morning, accusing Zhu Di, the king of Yan, of colluding with the thief, isn't this embarrassing for me, I am a Ying Tianfu Yin, and the vassal king of Beiping is not under my control at all." ”

As soon as Zhao Quande heard that it was related to Yanwang Zhu Di, he didn't want to read it, but Guo Huan seemed very interested, reached out to pick up Lu Xiaofeng's file, and said with a smile: "Can I show it?" ”

After handing over the file, Lu Xiaofeng observed Guo Huan's expression very carefully, when Guo Huan first looked at the file, he seemed to show a trace of joy, but then Guo Huan noticed that Lu Xiaofeng was observing himself, so he immediately restrained his demeanor, and continued to look at it with a serious expression, after a while, Guo Huan finished reading, handed the file back to Lu Xiaofeng, frowned and said: "This case is enough to scratch your head, Lao Lu, you are in big trouble, and you will get into trouble if you don't get it." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said with a bitter face: "Who said no, who wants to provoke that Yan King, besides, whether this matter is true or not, if it falls on my head, I will be anxious." ”

Lu Xiaofeng noticed a detail, Zhao Quande was just about to reach out and pull Guo Huan's sleeve, but Guo Huan happened to raise his arm and scratch his cheek, and at the same time said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Old Lu, it seems that for the sake of old friends, I will give you a way, but don't look back and sell me." ”

Lu Xiaofeng was overjoyed, and nodded with a smile: "How can you, if you help me, I can still pit you in turn?" Good old Guo, say it quickly, I'll invite you to drink. ”

"You don't need to drink." Guo Huan pulled Lu Xiaofeng aside and said in a low voice: "Since King Yan is mentioned here, you simply transfer this letter to the head of the Beiping Division, and let the people of the Beiping Division handle it themselves, and how they handle it has nothing to do with your brother." ”

Lu Xiaofeng was deflated when he heard this, and said with a frown: "If I can hand over this thing to the Beiping Division, do I need to be in such a hurry?" I'm not familiar with the people in the Beiping Division, besides, it's too late for people to hide, can they carry this black cauldron? ”

Guo Huan smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice even more and said: "I have a plan, our Lord Zhao turned out to be the envoy of Beiping, and he has some friendship with the people of the Beiping Division, and he happened to have some official affairs to hand over to the Beiping Division this time, and you and Lao Zhao will go to the Beiping Division in a while, and when they hand over the official duties, you quietly put this file on their desk, and then follow Lao Zhao out, so that the gods will hand over this matter unknowingly, what about you, there is no big responsibility, even if it is traced down in the future, You can also say that you forgot about it in the Peking Division, and prevaricated. ”

Lu Xiaofeng calculated in his heart, this method is really good, with Zhao Quande's cover, he can deal with this level: "Then what if they look for Lao Zhao and Lao Zhao refuses to help me?" ”

Guo Huan waved his hand and said confidently: "How can Lao Zhao not get in the past, if he doesn't go through the past, it means that he will also be involved, and he is here to hand over other cases, which has nothing to do with your dossier at all." Besides, Lao Zhao is now an envoy in Shandong, how can he mix in the troubles in Beiping, how can this dirty water not be poured on Lao Zhao. ”

Lu Xiaofeng was moved, took Guo Huan's hand and said: "Old Guo, see the truth in adversity, you are really a living bodhisattva who saves suffering, don't say it, when you can use my old way in the future, just open your mouth." ”
