Chapter 665: I Don't Kill Beren
In order to invite the gentleman into the urn, the Lu Mansion can be said to be fully prepared, however, when Zhu Qing appeared in front of Governor Lu, the whole court was still unaware, and even knew that Zhu Qing would bite the hook tonight but still couldn't catch it, such a precaution, how could they prevent the same elusive Jiangnan Seven Heroes?
"I really pinched a sweat ...... for the governor" Zhu Qing's voice appeared in the dark corner of Governor Lu's study, and he was immediately shocked that the brush in Governor Lu's hand fell to the ground.
"Huh?! You are...... Come ......" Governor Lu was startled and was about to call someone, but Zhu Qing's knife had already reached his throat.
"The governor is still quiet, so as not to frighten me, and this knife will not obey the call if this hand trembles." Zhu Qing warned.
"You...... Who are you? Although Governor Lu was scared in his heart, he was not so afraid that he would not dare to speak.
Zhu Qing walked out, he took a step forward, Governor Lu had to take a step back, otherwise, the tip of the knife would stab into the governor's throat. When Governor Lu retreated to the wall, Zhu Qing was about to appear under the light of the lamp and candle, he ripped off his mask, and Governor Lu saw the true face of Lushan, and he was even more discolored, "Qinglong?!" ”
"Lord Lu, it's been a long time." Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, put away the knife in his hand, he completely believed that Governor Lu didn't dare to speak out even more after seeing his face. How to say, Zhu Qing and Governor Lu also have a relationship, although they are not the same party, but Zhu Qing probably recognizes Governor Lu's official status. Otherwise, he would not have interfered in the matter.
"The whole city is hunting you, why did you come to me?" Governor Lu asked knowingly.
Zhu Qing also replied truthfully, "Since the governor wants to arrest me, I will naturally send it to the door...... of course" Of course, Zhu Qing knew that Zhang Bang's arrest was the idea of the governor's mansion.
After Governor Lu heard this, the matter had been exposed, and he had nothing to say for a while, and after a moment, he sneered, "Since you know that the government wants to arrest you, you dare to throw yourself into the net?!" ”
Zhu Qing couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "Do you think I look like I've thrown myself into the net?" How do I feel like I'm more like shopping? ”
"You're ......!" Being humiliated by Zhu Qing this time, Governor Lu was of course unhappy, but he was helpless, the Governor's Mansion was heavily guarded, and all troops had been mobilized to set up an ambush, Zhu Qing still came and went freely, no wonder people didn't take the Governor's Mansion in their eyes.
Zhu Qing saw that Governor Lu was depressed, so he knew that he had suppressed his prestige, for these local officials of the Emperor of the Soil, he couldn't suppress it at all if he didn't get off the horse, after all, the strong dragon didn't suppress the head snake, and if he didn't pinch him seven inches, he would bite you back! However, looking at the current Governor Lu, he is already under Zhu Qing's control, and he will not be able to resist at least for a while. Zhu Qing also restrained a little, and said with a slight smile, "Lord Governor doesn't have to be so nervous, I didn't come tonight to escape, I just wanted to come and tell my lord that where I, Zhu Qing, can come and go freely, the Jiangnan Seven Heroes can too!" ”
When Governor Lu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, all his plans were to let Zhu Qing help him solve the trouble of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, but now that he hadn't spoken, Zhu Qing had already pierced it in advance, which was really much beyond Governor Lu's expectations. Now he is even more sure why so many people are afraid of Jinyiwei, and even the relatives are often not Jinyiwei's opponents.
Since there is no need to hide it, Governor Lu suddenly made a big gift to Zhu Qing, "General, don't hide it from the general, Lu Mou returned home this time, he was quite worried in his heart, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, it was precisely because of this that he hoped that the general would help!" ”
Zhu Qing did not return the salute, and before he knew some eyebrows, he could not be sure whether Governor Lu was not guilty, and the brocade guards were able to protect the good generals of the ministers, but they would never tolerate the traitorous generals and rebels.
After Zhu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "My lord, I have forgotten that Zhu Qing is a guilty person, and he is no longer a general." ”
"No!" Governor Lu resolutely said, "Qinglong is not guilty, but it is not necessary for Uncle Tian and his ilk to impose it!" ”
After Zhu Qing heard this, he did feel a trace of emotion in his heart, in today's court, except for the Qingliu Party's own people, who would dare to say such a thing? However, Zhu Qing will never be easily softened by Governor Lu's two kind words, although he was moved by Governor Lu's words in his heart, but his face did not change, and he still said coldly, "As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." The governor is right, are you afraid of the crooked shadow? How can you be frightened and unfazed for no reason? ”
Governor Lu still didn't get up, he clenched his fists and sighed lightly, and shook his head, "As General Fangcai said, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are ghostly, if they are also stabbed like General Fangcai, even if I have a hundred mouths, it is difficult to argue!" ”
Zhu Qing looked at Governor Lu's expression, not like acting, after a moment of silence, Zhu Qing walked over, smiled at Governor Lu, and helped him up, "My lord, get up and talk about it." In this way, adults are a little unspeakable, right? ”
Seeing that Zhu Qingken listened to his explanation, Governor Lu nodded excitedly, "That's right." A few months ago, Zhang Qincha and I were ordered to go to Taiwan to investigate the entry of the Dutch into Taiwan, and the attitude of the Dutch was indeed unfriendly, and in the course of the negotiations, Zhang Qincha and I did have differences in terms of the demands made by the Dutch, and the negotiations were deadlocked, and we wanted to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to report to the imperial court before making a decision, but who knew ......?" said this, Governor Lu suddenly frowned, and a trace of sadness flashed across his face.
"Who knew that Zhang Qincha died suddenly, because of the disagreement between you, so you became the most suspicious person." Zhu Qing continued with Governor Lu's words.
Governor Lu nodded again and again, "That's right, now everyone who knows about this thinks that I killed Zhang Qincha, but how could I do such a stupid thing?" Governor Lu was innocent, and he felt that he had a hard time arguing.
After hearing this, Zhu Qing nodded thoughtfully, "There is indeed something suspicious, even if you and Zhang Qincha have a disagreement, you will not kill people, but such a purpose is too obvious, ordinary people can see that once something happens, you will become the target of the public, will the governor not know?" ”
"That's it! However, there are rumors on the rivers and lakes that because I have a disagreement with Zhang Qin and a ghost with the Dutch, I will attack Zhang Qincha, presumably this news has reached the ears of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, and I am now difficult to discern! Governor Lu repeatedly mentioned that he had a hard time distinguishing.
After Zhu Qing heard this, he also felt a little measured in his heart, but Zhu Qing suddenly stared at Governor Lu's eyes and asked seriously, "So, do adults and Dutch really have ghosts?" ”
Governor Lu couldn't help but be stunned by Zhu Qing's sudden question, "This ......" He didn't expect that he was in a hurry for a while, and he even shook out this sentence.
Seeing Governor Lu's hesitant and frightened expression, Zhu Qing suddenly smiled indifferently, "I'm just asking casually, adults don't have to be nervous." I don't need to say this, I can verify it myself. ”
"How do you verify it?" Governor Lu seems to have shifted the focus of the topic, he feels that the latter may be more serious, now that he has been suspected by Zhu Qing, he definitely can't escape, Zhang Qincha's matter has not yet been resolved, and the Dutchman's communication has once again pushed him to the brink of collapse, he doesn't know how his decisions in the negotiation process will be interpreted by Jinyiwei and the imperial court, even if his agreements with the Dutch are for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably be used by people with ulterior motives to make a big fuss, and when the time comes, it will not be as simple as murdering the minister.
However, Governor Lu's nervousness was particularly calm on Zhu Qing's side, he didn't care about the characters, he only cared about the incident itself, if this matter was harmful to Daming, it would be wrong, of course the person concerned would have to pay the price, and vice versa.
"I don't hide it from my lordship, I have a deep friendship with General Zheng Chenggong, and as long as I write a letter, I can learn all about your situation in the Taiwan negotiation area." Zhu Qing said firmly.
When Governor Lu heard this, his whole body suddenly went limp, and he collapsed in the Taishi's chair, "The general doesn't have to go through a lot of trouble, I am honest with the general, it's ......" Governor Lu listened to Zhu Qing's words, and knew that paper couldn't contain the fire, and the negotiation situation in Taiwan would be shaken out sooner or later, and the long pain was better than the short pain, since there was no escape, then let these two things come together, die, die a happy death, and it's a hundred!
Zhu Qing seemed to guess that Governor Lu had a ghost in his heart, so he just sneered, "Zhu Qing listened attentively. ”
"I have a disagreement with Zhang Qincha, mainly because he is the main battle, my lord is peace, it is undeniable that I have received some benefits from the Dutch, but this is not the reason for my lord's peace, and I do not attack Zhang Qincha because of this. I just think that the Ming Dynasty has just recovered from his injuries and needs to recuperate, if he talks lightly about the war with the Dutch, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the country, Zhang Qincha thinks that raising tigers will be troubled, and repeatedly retreating will only make the Dutch gain an inch, for this reason, we will break up unhappily......" Governor Lu collapsed in the Taishi chair and told Zhu Qing about the situation of negotiations with the Dutch in Taiwan from beginning to end.
Now, Zhu Qing no longer cares whether Governor Lu has accepted the benefits of the Dutch, what he cares about is when the Dutch will do it!
After Governor Lu finished speaking, Zhu Qing stepped forward, helped Governor Lu up from the prince's chair, and sighed to him, "The governor is also thinking about the country, but I'm afraid that the Dutch will not do what the Lord wants, and the battle between the court and the Dutch is probably inevitable, and it is not far away......"
"General! This ......" After hearing this, Governor Lu couldn't help but be shocked on his face, the reason why he advocated peace was that he felt that the Dutch didn't dare to do it, but now Zhu Qing held the same point of view as Zhang Qincha, which couldn't help but make him think about it again, the so-called careful thinking was extremely frightening, after Governor Lu re-sorted out the situation in Taiwan, he seemed to start to feel the seriousness of the matter!
"I and Zhang Qincha are both Qingliu Party, you can be honest with me regardless of self-preservation, I believe that Zhang Qincha's death was not done by you, but it is not easy to prove your innocence Lord Governor, obviously, someone deliberately let you and I fight between the two parties, so they can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. The party and government of the imperial court have never been broken, and I am not worried, what I am worried about is that the infighting will give outsiders an opportunity. Zhu Qing said.
After hearing this, Governor Lu couldn't help but nod his head again and again, it was his luck to meet Zhu Qing, but Zhu Qing's words also made him reflect on what he had done, although it was not a big mistake, but it was somewhat inappropriate.
"One person does things and one person is responsible, I really can't hide, I, Lu, am willing to go down to Zhang Qin to ask for guilt, if it weren't for the fact that I am difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and fight with him, the enemy will not have a chance to take advantage of, I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, Lu is guilty!" Governor Lu couldn't help but look up and sigh.
When Zhu Qing saw it, he smiled with relief, "Adults can think like this, it is not in vain that Zhu Qing has gone through this ......"
"The general should leave the Lu Mansion, don't worry about me, if the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan really come, let them come to me alone, and don't have to involve more people." Governor Lu smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement outside, Zhu Qing listened carefully, and unconsciously smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I want to leave, but I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"Why?" Governor Lu asked in surprise.
"They're already here......" Zhu Qing smiled slightly, and quickly blew out the lights and candles in the study.
