Chapter 295: Madman

Seeing that Lu Heng asked about Ma Qingyuan's affairs in detail, he never let go of almost every detail, and the degree of meticulousness of the investigation made all the onlookers in the Criminal Department Hong, ashamed.

This is simply more professional than those old guys in the criminal department interrogating suspects!

Mother, if this kid goes to work in the Criminal Department, it is estimated that after a few words, those suspects will be investigated.

I really didn't expect this kid to be so familiar with torture, tsk, talent!

Seeing that Lu Heng's question was over, he sat there alone and pondered.

Hong Quan lay on the table, holding his breath, looking at the scholar in front of him who was bowing his head and contemplating, and seemed to understand a little in his heart. I wanted to ask, but I was afraid of disturbing the scholar's thoughts. After a few hesitations, he stopped talking.

"Yongzheng, what do you mean, do you ......" Hong Quan really couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and after moving the bench over, his stubby fingers secretly pointed at the scribe on An Peng's side, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the scribe is ......?"

Hearing this, Lu Heng raised his head and looked at Hong Quan's solemn expression. After thinking about it slightly, he nodded with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Hong Quan's expression suddenly froze. His face also became solemn, and he lowered his head and wondered if he was going to consider letting Jing Zhaoyin arrest someone.

"Elder Hong, don't act rashly!" Seeing Hong Fatzi's solemn expression, where could Lu Heng not know his thoughts. Speak out and stop it now!

If his guess is true, then the scribe will definitely be Ma Qingyuan, a wanted criminal by the imperial court. Oh, if it's really such a simple thing, if you catch him, you can get rid of this henchman for the court.

But...... Shouldn't it be that simple?

"Huh?" Hong Quan was indeed thinking about how to effectively arrest and was thinking about how to arrange the troops, but he was surprised by the scholar beside him, and after a sigh of surprise, he looked at the scholar who shook his head slightly, and his heart was full of puzzlement.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Seeing these two people muttering together, Zhang Wenshan and Wu Ningyuan couldn't help but wonder a little.

If there is anything you can't say in front of the two of us, whisper secretly, why are you doing?

Hearing this, Lu Heng turned his head and looked at Wu Ningyuan and Zhang Wenshan, who looked very hurt, funny. Well, after looking at it like this for a while, my heart was playful, I picked up the tea, blew the tea leisurely, and looked at them again with a funny look, but I didn't answer.

Seeing this kid, he teased the two of them like this. Wu Ningyuan and Zhang Wenshan immediately put down the hostility just now, united the front, and looked at Lu Heng angrily.

"Two adults!" On the side, Hong Quan withdrew his gaze from the scribe, and squeezed out an ugly smile on his face. glanced at Lu Heng and saw him nodding, then he coughed, stepped forward and whispered to the two of them in a low voice: "According to Yongzheng's inference, that scribe is very likely to be Ma Qingyuan!" ”

After Wu Ningyuan and Zhang Wenshan heard this, they were shocked.

"It's unlikely!" After thinking about it, Zhang Wenshan glanced at the scribe, frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "If it's really him, why?" ”。

"Heh......!" Lu Heng picked up the tea station, took a sip, and asked with a smile: "Does Elder Zhang think it's a little unbelievable?" ”

"Yes, he clearly knew that he was a wanted criminal of Da Zhou, how could he be so dangerous. It's unreasonable! Zhang Wenshan nodded, groped his beard and said in a deep voice.

"What does Ning Yuangong think?" Zhang Wenshan turned his head and asked on the side, Wu Ningyuan, who also had a solemn face.

After asking, he found that Wu Ningyuan didn't seem to hear his words, but looked at the scribe with burning eyes, his eyes flickered, and his face became more solemn.

Is that really the case?

Zhang Wenshan was surprised in his heart, and after taking a closer look at the scribe, he was still confused.

He had seen Nama Qingyuan, who was about thirty years old, with a calm temperament and a dignified appearance. But looking at the person in front of him, although his temperament is consistent, he does not match it at all in terms of age and appearance.

Moreover, at this time, Da Zhou is still wanted by him, and he appeared in Tokyo at this time, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, which is not in line with common sense!

How could it be Ma Qingyuan?

Seeing Zhang Wenshan thinking alone, he shook his head and nodded. Lu Heng no longer hid anything. After picking up the tea, taking a sip, he relieved his doubts and said, "Elder Zhang doesn't have to worry about the age and appearance of the scribe. You must know that on the rivers and lakes, there is a disguise technique, which can change a person's appearance in an extreme period of time. This must be known to the prince and Lord Hong! ”

"Well, Yongzheng is right, there is indeed this kind of disguise technique on the rivers and lakes! It's hard to find out if you don't check it yourself! Hong Quan nodded, confirming Lu Heng's words. It's just that when he heard Lu Heng talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he seemed to be quite familiar with it, Hong Quan couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked, "How did Yongzheng know?" ”

Seeing that the three of them were all looking at him curiously, Lu Heng smiled slightly and coughed. Stretched out his hand, slowly tidied up the robe on his body, smiled mysteriously, looked like a master, and said lightly: "Actually, Lu is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called the Tianjing Sha with a sword and dust, which is below!" ”

Feng scratched the long hair on his head, turned his head, and saw that the three of them were all staring at him with big eyes, and their mouths were wide open, and they could see the trembling tonsils in the depths of their throats.

"Hey, what kind of expressions do you have! Seeing these three guys, he forcibly suppressed his smile, and it was clear that he didn't believe it. Lu Heng couldn't help but have black lines on his head, and asked speechlessly.

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Wu Ningyuan and the others glance at Lu Heng strangely, and then glanced at each other, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, Yongzheng, it's the first time that the old man has discovered that you are so humorous!" Zhang Wenshan pointed at the depressed Lu Heng, smiling tremblingly, the tea bowl in his hand shook violently, and he didn't know that the splashed tea wet the long shirt.

"A sword is dusty, and the sky is pure sand! Hahaha! Wu Ningyuan was even more excessive, leaning back with a smile, pointing at Lu Heng, speechless for a long time.

Lu Heng saw that these two were hopeless, just like a sheep having a seizure of epilepsy. Speechlessly, he retracted his gaze, and with a glimmer of hope in his heart, he looked towards Hong Fatzi.

At this time, Hong Quan, who was holding his stomach and laughing, saw Lu Heng looking over, and he couldn't hold back his laughter very magically. The little eyes rolled slightly, looking at Lu Heng.

"Uh, Lord Hong, you are really ...... discerning" Lu Heng's heart slowed down slightly, and he was about to say two words of gratitude. But when he saw this fat man, he suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at Lu Heng, and said with drool: "Haha, Yongzheng, it's not that the old man doesn't believe it, it's just, it's just, what you said is really funny!" ”

Depend on!

Lu Heng glared at him angrily, and saw the fat man lying on the table with a smile, knocking on the table with two hands, as if he was about to swallow his breath. Lu Heng despised for a while in his heart, then retracted his gaze angrily, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it alone.

The three of them continued to laugh wildly, laughing, and while pointing at Lu Heng, they teased in a whisper: "Haha, Tianjing Sand, a sword against dust, haha!" ”

"If you don't listen, if you don't listen, I won't say it!" Lu Heng was speechless, so he had no choice but to make a killer move. After shaking the teacup and glancing at the three of them with a dark face, he asked angrily.

Damn, do you think I'm talking nonsense?

If you don't believe it, ask the Taoist priest of Qingcheng Dao! That guy at the beginning, but he admired me Lu very much!

However, he thought that Qingcheng Dao had been destroyed in his own hands. The title of his own rivers and lakes seems to be sinking to the bottom. Lu Heng sighed, and said helplessly in his heart, it seems that his status in the rivers and lakes can only become a legend.

"Listen!"

As expected, as soon as these words came out, the three of them immediately put away their smiles and looked at Lu Heng with serious expressions.

Belch...... Such a rapid change made Lu Heng immediately taken aback.

Seeing that there was no trace of playful smiles on the faces of these three people, they were all listening with their ears, and their expressions were so serious that people couldn't help but admire. Lu Heng took a deep breath, looked at the three of them, and praised in his heart, Nima's. Actors, all actors!

At this time, there were more people in the brightly lit hall than before.

The officials who came in and out hugged their fists and saluted their colleagues. Then laughed and praised the grand occasion of today, and after a laughing and talking, they returned to their own factions.

After those officials sat down, Lu Heng was surprised to find that there were many more people in An Peng's family than there were people from Wu Ningyuan's side.

Oh, no wonder the emperor was so cautious in dealing with the affairs of the scholar family.

It turned out that the power of this scholar clan was so great.

Half of the country!

The slightest carelessness will lead to political turmoil and unrest in the court!

Seeing those officials, after An Peng's introduction, they all saluted and greeted the scribe. The look is respectful, and I have never seen it.

This scene strengthened Lu Heng's guess.

"Yongzheng!"

While pondering, Wu Ningyuan's voice came from his ears.

When he came back to his senses, he met the expectant gazes of the three people.

Lu Heng smiled, raised his chin, pointed at the scribe, pondered, and asked slowly: "I just heard from Elder Zhang, that Ma Qingyuan is quite fond of poetry?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhang Wenshan didn't know what Lu Heng meant by asking, but when he saw the other party's serious expression, he didn't hesitate and nodded directly. Then he added: "It's a preference, but it's actually light." This person is a fanatic about poetry, heh, it's simply fanatical! ”

Hearing this, Lu Heng nodded, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and thought about it, then opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Wenshan with a smile and said, "In this way, it makes sense!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Wenshan glanced at Lu Heng curiously, turned his head, and after glancing at the other two, he hugged his fist at Lu Heng and said, "Can Yongzheng say it clearly!" ”

"If this person is really as the elder said, he has a fanatical love for poetry, and every time he has a good sentence, he will be excited! Then, from this point, it can be judged that this person's surname is actually a little paranoid! Lu Heng shook the teacup in his hand, with a smile in his eyes, looked at the scribe who talked to everyone with a faint expression, and said lightly: "Paranoid people are often crazy, and crazy people often do some crazy things!" Just like this Ma Qingyuan, who is already a fanatical fondness for poetry, he ventured to Da Zhou to participate in this Hundred Flowers Meeting! And that's reasonable! ”

After that, Lu Heng took a sip of tea, and saw that the three people in front of him were all in deep thought, thinking about his words, there was still a trace of incomprehension between his eyebrows.

Lu Heng smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and sighed leisurely. Turning his head, he looked at the scribe, smiled slightly, lightly knocked his fingers on the table, and said with confidence in his eyes: "Extraordinary people, do extraordinary things." And you and I, we should treat it with extraordinary reason, so as to take its true meaning! ”

After speaking, seeing that Wu Ningyuan and the three of them were frowning and pondering, Lu Heng was not in a hurry, so he let them continue to think. I leisurely picked up the teapot, poured a cup, and tasted tea leisurely.

Turning his head, he smiled faintly, looking at the scribe who behaved moderately and calmly, sighed slightly in his heart, and secretly praised, what a madman!!

However, although it is said that it is so. However, in his heart, Lu Heng felt that he had this excuse, although he persuaded Zhang Wenshan and others. However, he couldn't convince himself.

Raising his head, through the teacup in his hand, the curling heat, looking at Ma Qingyuan, who was talking elegantly with everyone in the attic opposite, Lu Heng's eyes gradually narrowed.

This Ma Qingyuan has a very high status in the Turks, and his power leans towards the steppe. It is obviously a bit biased for such a scheming person to guess his gaze on this trip with paranoia alone.

In addition to participating in this Hundred Flowers Festival, what is the purpose of his coming here?

Is it a strategic test of the Great Zhou?

Or is it a lure to the bait?

Lu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Ma Qingyuan, who was sitting opposite An Peng with a calm demeanor, he thought for a moment in his heart, and his eyes finally lit up.

Yes! He was a figure of the Turkic Khanate, second only to the national teacher. The status is noble and the power is great.

At present, the strength of the Great Zhou and the Turks are compared. Even if the Great Zhou Imperial Court knew that he came to the Great Zhou, it also confirmed the identity of this person, but obviously there was no way.

If, Da Zhou rashly arrested this person, it would have given the Turks an excuse to use force.

The fragile peace agreement reached by the concubine and concubine marrying the Turks immediately became useless.

At this time, the Great Zhou was dealing with the succession of the crown prince. The armament has not yet been prepared, and it is clear that it is impossible to move with the Turks at this time.

At this time, this Ma Qingyuan suddenly came to the Great Zhou Tokyo, presumably knowing all this.

Oh, this person is thoughtful and bold, and he actually used himself as bait to lure Da Zhou to do it.

What a calculation!

Lu Heng smiled slightly and nodded, admiring this person's actions in his heart.

If the fighting between the two sides resumes and the Turkic cavalry moves south, what will the Great Zhou use to resist.

At that time, the country will fall, and the lives will be ruined, heh...... Lu Heng took a deep breath, and his peaceful gaze became much more awe-inspiring. looked at Ma Qingyuan, who was smiling and chatting with the officials beside him. A chill suddenly rose in my heart.

Oh, what a poisonous ploy!

"What a guts!" Beside him, Wu Ningyuan slapped the table, looked at the scribe with a gloomy face, and gritted his teeth and said, "So arrogant, you just look at me and I have nothing to do!" ”

"Someone!" Wu Ningyuan stared at the disguised Ma Qingyuan, took a deep breath, suddenly turned his head, and shouted to the entourage beside him.

"Wait!" Lu Heng, who had thought clearly about the purpose of Ma Qingyuan's trip, immediately stopped Wu Ningyuan.

"Yongzheng, the opportunity must not be missed! This person has been in hiding for more than a year, and at this time, it is a good time to arrest him! Wu Ningyuan said eagerly.

"Lord Wang!" Lu Heng looked at him heavily, and reached out to hold his trembling hand. Turning his head, he glanced at Ma Qingyuan, who seemed to be somewhat aware, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, do you want to provoke a war between the two countries at this time?" ”

"Yongzheng, you ......" Hearing Lu Heng's words, Wu Ningyuan was immediately shocked. looked at Lu Heng in astonishment, his eyes full of shock and puzzlement. "Why do you say that?" ”

Wu Ningyuan's ability to march and fight, that is not said. But when it comes to this intrigue, there is still a lack of experience.

At this time, seeing Lu Heng's solemn expression, he stopped himself very seriously. For a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

"Lord Wang, Yongzheng is right!" Zhang Wenshan's face was also ugly, but after he pondered Lu Heng's words, a trace of coldness suddenly appeared in his heart, and after retracting his gaze with palpitations, he turned his head and advised Wu Ningyuan not to act rashly.

"Wenshan, you guys!" Wu Ningyuan looked at these two people with some astonishment, and his eyes were a little unfamiliar for a while.

In his heart, these two people are calm minds and bold characters. How can you be so cowardly at this time.

"Lord! You know, Ma Qingyuan's position in the Turks. Zhang Wenshan raised his sleeves, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, with a wry smile on his face, pressed Wu Ningyuan's shoulder, and patiently explained: "But, do you know why this Ma Qingyuan is so bold and dares to come to Tokyo so openly?" ”

"Hmph, he just wants to humiliate Da Zhou!" Wu Ningyuan snorted coldly, his expression still angry.

"This is one of them!" Zhang Wenshan first affirmed Wu Ningyuan's words, then pointed at Ma Qingyuan, and said in a low voice: "But, since you know Ma Qingyuan's supreme identity in the Turks, then, have you thought about it?" What does it mean that the Turkic national teacher had an accident in Tokyo? ”

"It means war!" Zhang Wenshan let out a sigh of relief, and also glanced at Ma Qingyuan unwillingly, and said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Ningyuan's body couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes flashed, and he sat down again. Bowing his head in thought, he raised his hand and let the entourage who came over go down.

After a long time, Wu Ningyuan finally raised his head, with an unwilling wry smile on his face, sighed, and said to Lu Heng and the others: "Fortunately, there are three friends who persuade you, otherwise, the old man would have made a big mistake tonight!" ”。

Lu Heng smiled, poured tea for Wu Ningyuan with his own hands, and after pushing the teacup in front of Wu Ningyuan, he said lightly: "Ning Yuangong, you are also angry for a while, understandable!" Yes, two!! ”

"Exactly, the prince is wise and powerful, how could he do such a thing?" After Hong Quan and Zhang Wenshan glanced at each other, they nodded flatteringly.

Seeing that these two friends had a round face for him, Wu Ningyuan smiled gratefully, waved his hand and sighed: "Hey, you don't have to put gold on the old man's face!" ”

Looking at Wu Ningyuan's sneering smile, Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, pointed to Hong Quan, who bowed his head and was silent, and joked to Wu Ningyuan: "However, Lord Wang, the eyes you just now are really domineering!" Look at Lord Hong, I'm so scared that I don't even dare to speak! ”

Wu Ningyuan raised his head and bowed his hand to Hong Quangong apologetically. Then he shook his head with a wry smile, sighed and said: "Yongzheng don't want to laugh at the old man, the old man is reckless, and he almost made Da Zhou ......, if you didn't wait for a reminder, the old man ...... Ay! ”

After blaming himself, Wu Ningyuan raised his hand, hugged his fist at Lu Heng and said, "Wu Ningyuan is grateful!" ”

Lu Heng looked at him and smiled slightly, picked up the tea bowl, stuffed it into Wu Ningyuan's fist-hugging hand, pressed his hand with a calm expression, shook his head and said, "Duke Ning Yuan, with the friendship between you and me, there is no need for this!" ”

Wu Ningyuan looked at the tea bowl in his hand, smiled slightly, and nodded to Lu Heng gratefully.

After taking a sip of tea, Wu Ningyuan turned his head and looked at Ma Qingyuan, who had infinite scenery. The heart was still unwilling to sigh and said: "Let him go so much and let him wander away in Tokyo, I am unwilling!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wenshan and Hong Quan also smiled bitterly.

Seeing the Qin criminal who was once wanted by the Great Zhou, he was sitting there at this time, drinking and chatting with the officials of the Great Zhou. The anger in their hearts was much more than that of Wu Ningyuan.

You must know that in this era, the literati abide by the words of the sages. Treason is not just an individual act. It is also a smear for the world's scholars and disgraces the saints.

For literati with noble conduct, seeing this kind of thing, it is understandable how they feel in their hearts!

Lu Heng looked at Ma Qingyuan, and his eyes flickered. After a long time, he retracted his gaze, a strange smile lifted on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Heh, how can you allow him to be so free? ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of Wu Ningyuan, who were depressed, suddenly looked shocked, and looked at the smiling scholar in front of them in surprise, and their hearts were full of surprise.

"Oh?" Wu Ningyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly came over and asked eagerly: "What is Yongzheng's plan, come quickly?" ”

Lu Heng smiled, and after retracting his gaze, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Doesn't he want to be tempted, doesn't he want to keep a low profile?" Lord Wang, you can disrupt his plan, don't you just do it! ”

After putting down the teacup, hooking hands, and bringing the three of them together, Lu Heng smiled and whispered in their ears. Then he stood up, looked at the three people in front of him who couldn't hide his joy, and said with a look of regret: "In this way, there are millions of pairs of eyes in Tokyo staring at him, and there are elite soldiers of the Great Zhou to protect him." Whatever temptation and temptation he thinks in his heart, everything will be invisible. At that point, what else can he do? ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and nodded shockingly.

Suddenly, the three of them got up one after another, and then stood in a row, bowed ninety degrees, and looked at Lu Heng, who had to stand up with a helpless look on his face. The three of them smiled with satisfaction, and said to Lu Heng in unison: "Emperor, mighty!" ”

"You ......" Lu Heng looked at the three of them helplessly, and shook his head with a wry smile: "You, this ...... Ay! ”
