(ps: The results of the monthly pass are getting worse and worse, can friends rummage through the boxes again, and give a few monthly tickets to the gods and reward the pure wolf?) ）

When Lu Fatzi was immersed in research in Qujing, specializing in some of the evil techniques and evil weapons that how to kill people faster and better, while managing the environment and securing the people and engaging in the economy at the same time, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Lu Fatzi's eldest cousin Qin Yong finally rushed to the capital, and according to the guidance of Lu Fatzi and Zhu Fangdan, he went all the way to the gate of Suo Etu Mansion near Yongxing Temple, and handed a letter of introduction from Lu Fatzi to the gatekeeper, asking Suo Etu to meet.

Unlike Lu Fatzi's previous visits to Suo Etufu, after being promoted from Suo Etu to the equivalent of the deputy director of the Personnel Organization Department, the desolate scene of Suofu has been swept away in front of the door of Suofu, and the officials who give gifts have to make an appointment in advance, and they have to stuff more than ten or twenty taels of silver into Suofu Menzi before they have the opportunity to meet our Suo Etu Suo Shilang - to be an official, find Suo Laosan, this famous officialdom proverb, that is, from this year.

Qin Yong, the son of a businessman from a poor rural area, of course he doesn't understand the rules in the capital, and he doesn't have any fame, and the letter of introduction he took out was still issued by a mere Qipin county order, and the group of men in front of the Suofu who were above the top were just new housekeeper relatives, and they usually didn't have a good reputation for the officials at the prefect's Taoist level, so of course they would say that they would not let Qin Yong enter the mansion, and Qin Yong had to be strictly ordered by Zhu Fangdan and Lu Fatzi to keep their whereabouts strictly secret, I didn't dare to leave casually, so I could only go back and forth in front of Suofumen, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Hey, that dumpling from Yunnan, why don't you leave?" Although Qin Yong didn't touch the nails anymore with great interest, he just walked around the door and waited, but the clothed men in front of the Suofu still refused to let him go, and one of them shouted at Qin Yong arrogantly: "What are you still doing here?" Get out! If you don't get out, Lao Tzu will drag you to go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division to go to prison. ”

"This master, I'm really in a hurry." Qin Yong nodded and said: "If you don't want to ask Lord Suo, I will say that Lu Yifeng's cousin in Qujing Zhixian County asks to see, and he will definitely see him, if he doesn't see him, I will leave immediately." ”

"Get out!" The man was furious, kicked Qin Yong's leg, and scolded: "What Lu Yifeng Lu Erfeng, a small Qipinzhi County, there are more Wang Ba in Yongding River than such goods!" Get out of here, and if you are verbose, I will immediately drag you to Shuntian Mansion and sue you for a capital crime of trespassing into the mansion of a court official. ”

Qin Yong was a little straightforward, and he didn't know how to plug the silver, so he had no choice but to make up his mind to find an inn to live in first, and then find a way to contact Suo Etu. But at this moment, a group of people suddenly turned around at the mouth of the alley, headed by a small sedan chair in Tsing Yi, and went straight to the gate of Suo Etu Mansion with great might. Qin Yong's heart moved, and he returned that it was Suo Etu's sedan chair to return home, quickly unwrapped the package on his back, and rushed to the small sedan chair quickly, so frightened that the knife-bearing guards in front and behind the sedan chair drew their knives to guard the sedan chair, and shouted together: "What are you doing?" ”

"Dare to ask the military master, is it Lord Suo Etuso sitting in the sedan chair?" Qin Yong asked tremblingly.

"Blind your dog's eye!" A young guard with a knife scolded angrily: "Lord Suo is sitting in a green sedan chair, how can it be Master Suo sitting in this sedan chair?" ”

"Isn't it?" Qin Yong was disappointed. At this time, a few men in front of the Suofu Gate had already run over to salute with a thousand lines, and the disciple who scolded Qin Yong just now nodded and said: "Say hello to the Cao guards, dare to ask the Cao guards, is it rumored that my family has come out to greet you?" Or do you want to ask the master to go in directly? ”

"There's no need to pass it on, the master goes in directly." The young man surnamed Cao snorted coldly, pointed at Qin Yong and said, "What is this stupid boy doing?" I almost collided with my master, and you guys were guarding the door to Master Suo, was that how you did it? ”

"The slave is a capital crime, and the slave is a capital crime." The man was frightened, and hurriedly said: "This stupid boy is from Qujing, Yunnan, and was sent by Lu Hefeng, the county commander there. The slave knew the crime, and the slave arrested him and sent him to Shuntianfu to be punished. ”

"Qujing? Lu Yifeng?! The young man surnamed Cao's face changed drastically, and he blurted out exclaimed.

"Yes, it's called Lu Yifeng, Master Cao, ...... do you know?" The man was about to ask a rhetorical question, but before the words were completely finished, the sedan curtain of the small sedan chair in Tsing Yi had been lifted from the sedan chair, and a pockmarked young man poked his head out of the sedan chair and shouted: "Lu Yifeng sent someone?" Over there? ”

"I, I am." Qin Yong stepped forward and replied cautiously.

"You were sent by Lu Yifeng? What's the matter? Lu Yifeng contacted Suo Etu, why didn't he go through the agreed channels? How did you send you straight here? The little pockmark asked.

"Lu Yifeng is my aunt's son and my only cousin." Qin Yong explained: "He asked me to come to Master Suo because there were some things to be handed over to Master Suo, because these things were too important, so he didn't dare to entrust others, so he sent me here, and asked me to hand over these things to Master Suo myself." ”

"What is so important? Where is the thing? Get it. Xiao Mazi was curious and couldn't wait to urge.

"No......, no, you're not Lord Suo." Qin Yong said timidly: "My cousin said that this thing can only be handed over to Master Suo, and no one else can give it, and it is better to destroy it than to give it." ”

"Ha, I can't see you're loyal." Xiao Mazi laughed, looked at each other again, and shouted, "What are you still doing?" Why don't you invite Lord Lu's cousin into the mansion? Let you Suo come out to see him in person? Bastard, I almost missed my big thing! ”

"Did you hear that? Bastard stuff? The young man surnamed Cao turned his face faster than he turned a book, raised his leg and kicked on the chest of the man, and scolded viciously: "Blind your dog eyes, what is the friendship between Lord Lu Sanhao and your family, haven't you heard of it?" I'll see how your lord cleans you up! ”

With Xiao Mazi's words, the Suofu Menzi, who was still showing off his martial arts just now, of course immediately became a pug, nodded and invited the dizzy Qin Yong into the Suofu gate, but before the person entered the second gate, Suo Etu had already rushed out like a gust of wind to greet him, first rewarded those few disciples in the face, and then introduced his identity to Qin Yong, Qin Yong also untied the package on his back, and handed the two things in the package and a letter from his personal collection to Suo Etu.

Got the two bottles of medicine and letters sent by Lu Fatzi, that afternoon, half of Suofu was in a commotion, under the personal supervision of Xiao Mazi, Suo Etu sent people to bring two death row prisoners from the prison of the Criminal Department, and then came to Wu Liuyi's autopsy The imperial doctor and the servant, Xiao Mazi's several henchmen Mingzhu, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cixu also heard the wind and moved, and ran to Suofu in a hurry, accompanied by Xiao Mazi to investigate the real cause of Wu Liuyi's death.

Lu Fatzi's bet really hit - in fact, even if the bet was wrong, Lu Fatzi didn't have a fart loss, at most he just let his cousin run to the capital for nothing. After Cao Yin smeared the bloody throat seal sent by Lu Fatzi on the steel needle, he pierced the poisonous steel needle into the back of the neck of a death row inmate, and before he had completed seven or eight steps, the death row prisoner stopped breathing, his blood coagulated, and he died of cardiac arrest.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician and the Imperial Doctor have been carefully examined." Suo Etu excitedly reported to Xiao Maziyu: "Sure enough, it is exactly the same as Wu Junmen's corpse, only the back of the neck is a little red and swollen, and the others are extremely like they died of a heart disease!" It is certain that Wu Junmen will die under this poison! Several post-mortem doctors and servants were all amazed, saying that it was the first time they knew that there was such a powerful poison in the world, and a needle could kill people! ”

"They still have the face to marvel?!" Xiao Mazi was furious and roared: "I asked them about the cause of Wu Liuyi's death before, and it was either that the cause of death was unknown, or that he died of a sudden illness!" Now that the truth is out, they all say that Wu Liuyi died of poisoning? Waste, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags! ”

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger." Mingzhu said respectfully: "The slave thinks that this can't be blamed at all on the imperial doctors in the capital, Lu Yifeng Lord Lu made it very clear in the letter that this kind of poison that seals the throat with blood is unique to Yunnan, and few people in the Central Plains know about it, even him, and he also learned about this poison from the mouth of the famous physician Zhu Fangdan, and also said that Zhu Fangdan also knew about this poison by chance, so he suspected that Wu Junmen died of this poison, and sent his henchman cousin to the capital with the poison and the antidote, so that we could test and check. Therefore, it is not surprising that the imperial doctor of the capital did not know about this poison. ”

Mingzhu's explanation is reasonable, and it is indeed the fact of this matter, so Xiao Mazi quickly accepted Mingzhu's opinion, nodded and said: "Reasonable, I can't completely blame the imperial doctor in the capital, and thanks to Lu Aiqing's carefulness and prudence, after getting the story of Wu Liuyi's murder from the Pingxi Palace, he didn't hang up like other dog slaves, he didn't hang up if he didn't care about himself, but found out the truth for me with his heart, and his loyalty was commendable." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is not suspicious of Lord Lu." Xiong Cixu, who had a hot fight with Kong Sizhen recently, interjected and said: "Weichen is just strange, Lord Lu is in Qujing, and Pingxi Wangfu is in Kunming, so there are very few contacts, how did he learn the news of Wu Junmen's murder from Pingxi Wangfu?" Do you know so much? Even if someone from the Pingxi Royal Mansion inadvertently leaked, he wouldn't be so easy to hear the wind in Qujing, right? Could it be that he deliberately inquired? Or did the Pingxi Mansion deliberately tell him? ”

Xiong Cixu's words are also very reasonable, Wu Liuyi's violent death and autopsy results were blocked by Xiao Mazi and Ao Bai, even if it is impossible to completely hide the eyes and ears of Pingxi Palace, after Pingxi Palace's collection of these important information, it is impossible to spread it everywhere, Lu Fatzi is just a seven-grade sesame official, and he is not in the same city as Pingxi Palace, where to spy on such a secret?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mazi, who is suspicious and cunning and is not under anyone, inevitably frowned slightly, and became suspicious of this, Xiong Cixu and Kong Sizhen observed the words and looks, and quickly glanced at each other, and they were inevitably secretly happy in their hearts. But it's a pity that there are still pearls who swore not to touch Lu Fatzi's musty spirit, as well as Suo Etu, who received a great favor from Lu Fatman, Suo Etu came out and said: "Your Majesty, maybe Lu Yifeng's cousin knows about this, anyway, he is in the slave's house, do you want the slave to ask the reason?" ”

"Your Majesty, please go with the ministers." Xiong Cixu also stood up. Xiao Mazi also wanted to know the reason, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen obviously seriously underestimated the prudence of Lu Fatzi's thoughts, and after a while, the arrogant Suo Etu and the dejected Xiong Cilu returned to Xiao Mazi together, Suo Etu explained: "Back to the emperor, ask clearly, in order to better run an errand for the emperor, Lord Lu surrendered his identity and worshiped Wu Sangui's henchman Liu Xuanchu as a teacher, and won Liu Xuanchu's favor, some time ago, Wu Sangui in order to monopolize the glass forging technology, let people build a military camp in Qujing Nule Peak, All the craftsmen and apprentices were transferred there, and the person who supervised Wu Sangui in Qujing was Liu Xuanchu, so Lu Yifeng easily found out the news from Liu Xuanchu. ”

"Lu Aiqing worshipped Liu Xuanchu as a teacher? That's Wu Sangui's extremely trusted think tank. Xiao Mazi was overjoyed and said: "In this way, if it goes well, Lu Aiqing will definitely be able to get a lot of important news from Liu Xuanchu's mouth in the future." ”

"Exactly that's what the minions think." Mingzhu echoed and said seriously: "If it weren't for Lord Lu careful this time, we would still be in the dark about the murder of Wu Junmen, and the slave thinks that this is a great achievement, and the emperor should be rewarded." And what's even more rare is that Lord Lu not only let us know the method of Wu Junmen's murder this time, but also provided us with the antidote to this poison, if this antidote is really effective, the emperor only needs a holy decree to let Lord Lu pay a large tribute to the antidote, are we afraid of repeating the old trick and using this method again? ”

Mingzhu's words reminded Xiao Mazi, and Xiao Mazi hurriedly ordered: "Quick, use the remaining poison and antidote to test the prisoners, if the antidote is effective, then let Lu Aiqing immediately secretly pay tribute in a batch, I don't want to see my important ministers die one after another." ”

Suo Etu went down to arrange it, and Mingzhu said again: "Your Majesty, there is another matter, I don't know if you have noticed?" Lord Lu emphasized that this poison and antidote are unique to Yunnan, and very few people in the Central Plains know about it, how did Ao Zhongtang know about it and how they got this poison, I don't know if the emperor has thought about it? ”

"How could I not notice something so important?" Xiao Mazi asked rhetorically with a gloomy face, and said gloomily: "This matter has to be investigated, but it can't be investigated publicly, it can only be investigated secretly, and it must be found out, whether this poison was given to Ao by Wu Sangui's old thing, if so, ......." ”

"If it is, the minions can't say anything." Mingzhu lowered his voice and said: "Right now, the emperor's primary enemy is Aobai, not Wu Sangui, before he overthrows Aobai, he must not turn his face with Wu Sangui, he can only bear it for the time being, as for this account, I will slowly calculate it later." ”

Xiao Mazi didn't answer, and only nodded slowly after a while, agreeing with Mingzhu's suggestion - but naturally hated Wu Sangui to the bone marrow in his heart! If it weren't for Wu Liuyi's sudden violent death, Xiao Mazi originally planned to eradicate Aobai in recent months, but now that the loyal lackey Wu Liuyi has hung up, and the military power of Jiumen has actually fallen into the hands of Aobai, Xiao Mazi of course would not dare to act rashly, and suddenly made it difficult to completely eradicate the plan of Aobai and the party, so it was naturally shelved indefinitely.

Of course, if Xiao Mazi knew that Aobai's determination to get rid of Wu Liuyi was not actually from Wu Sangui's advice or assistance, but from a wonderful story told to Ao Bai by a scourge surnamed Lu, then Xiao Mazi would definitely strangle this scourge surnamed Lu to death!

At this time, Suo Etu had also completed the test, just as Lu Fatzi's letter full of flattering words said, after the prisoner was poisoned, he immediately used the red-backed bamboo pole grass to apply it externally and take it internally, and it really dissolved the terrifying poisonous surname of seeing blood and sealing his throat. Xiao Mazi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and draft an order, secretly order Lu Aiqing to collect the antidote and pay tribute to the Internal Affairs Office, the more the better, I want to give each of the important ministers a secret copy, to prevent the repetition of the old tricks, and attack them." ”

"Pierce." As a university scholar, Mingzhu naturally accepted the order. Xiao Mazi said again: "In addition, I will send an edict to the Internal Affairs Office, and secretly promote Lu Aiqing's official to a higher level, and then make it public after the completion of the work." ”

"Fold." Mingzhu agreed again. Just as he was about to turn around, Xiao Mazi's heart moved, and he shouted: "Wait, let me think again." ”

"Your Majesty, do you think the reward is light?" Mingzhu is the best at figuring out the intentions, and at a glance he saw that Xiao Mazi felt that he was rewarded too lightly, so he repaired the steps for Xiao Mazi and said: "Yes, the slave also thinks that Lord Lu is loyal to the emperor, this time he sent his cousin to secretly send the blood throat sealing poison and antidote to the capital to present to the emperor, unraveling a big mystery for the emperor, and providing the emperor with a countermeasure to deal with the poison of Aobai. ”

"Ming Zhongtang, you are really good to Master Lu." Kong Sizhen, who had never dared to speak, couldn't bear it anymore, and said sourly: "I don't need to let go of the secret post station of the Thirteen Yamen provided for him by Master Suo, but I want to send my cousin to Beijing to offer treasures, and the means of grandstanding and inviting merit are really clever." ”

"Sigege, Lord Lu's refusal to use the secret post station of the Thirteen Yamen is probably related to someone, right?" Mingzhu and Suo Etu said in unison: "Someone privately used the secret agent of the Thirteen Yamen to announce his personal vendetta, and the person targeted was Lord Lu, does Lord Lu still dare to believe in the secret post station of the Thirteen Yamen?" ”

Kong Sizhen was speechless, her face was plump, her chest was constantly rising and falling, and Xiong Cixu was unconvinced and said to her lover: "Ming Zhongtang, Master Suo, why did Lord Lu use the secret post station of the Thirteen Yamen to deliver news before?" Now that there is an opportunity to invite merit, why don't you use this channel? ”

"Because some time ago, the head of the Thirteen Yamen was replaced." Suo Etu and Mingzhu answered unusually neatly—taking the opportunity to vent Kong Sizhen's strong dissatisfaction after taking over the thirteen yamen, he unscrupulously monitored himself.

"Alright, alright." Xiao Mazi interrupted the lackeys for dog-eat-dog, and said: "I also think that Lu Aiqing is not deliberately asking for credit, after all, before this, he is not sure whether Wu Liuyi has been poisoned by this bloody throat." So ......, Kong Sizhen, in the future, you give me some restraint, don't think that if I hand over the Thirteen Yamen to you, you can use it unscrupulously to rectify dissidents and declare personal vendettas!" ”

"The slave is guilty." In this regard, Kong Sizhen, whose buttocks are seriously unclean, knelt down honestly and kowtowed to ask for guilt.

"In the future, you can leave the affairs of Qujing Mansion alone and leave it to Suo Etu." Xiao Mazi was afraid of Kong Sizhen's narrow-mindedness and abuse of power, so he made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life. In the end, Xiao Mazi made a decision that made him regret it even more, and said slowly: "I have thought about it, as a reward for Lu Aiqing, I decided to hand over the Qujing Green Camp to Lu Aiqing. ”

"Wonderful." Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and he said: "The emperor is really too sage, Qujing is the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou, the location is extremely important, if there is a change in the Wu Domain, the first thing to pass through on the way north is Qujing, even if Lu Yifeng doesn't understand the military and can't stop Wu Sangui's army, he can also control the green camp to defend the city of Qujing, and give us an extremely important reaction time!" ”

"Your Majesty, you must not." Kong Sizhen panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the Qujing Green Battalion only has a total of 2,000 soldiers and horses, if Lu Yifeng has bad intentions, these 2,000 soldiers and horses will be given to Wu Sangui for nothing." ”

"Your Majesty, Lu Yifeng is a civil official, and Qujing Green Camp is under the jurisdiction of a military attaché, do you want Lu Yifeng to transfer a civilian official to a military position?" Xiong asked in surprise.

"Who said that I was going to let Lu Aiqing's civil official transfer to a military position?" Xiao Mazi smiled and said, "Didn't Lu Aiqing send her cousin to deliver something this time?" His cousin, I also saw it just now, although he is a little straightforward, but he is very loyal and obedient, he is a manufacturable material, and it is rare that he is still Lu Aiqing's cousin, flesh and blood are connected, and it is impossible for him to be bought by Wu Sangui. It just so happened that Liu Wenjin, the former chief soldier of the Qujing Green Battalion, had been arrested and questioned for his involvement in the Li Shuzu case, and his position was vacant, so let Lu Aiqing's cousin make up for this vacancy. ”

"Your Majesty, Liu Wenjin is the second rank of the martial arts, and you plan to directly seal Lu Yifeng's cousin as the second grade?" This time, I was shocked by the change of pearl.

"There are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in the jurisdiction, and there are more than 500 taels of silver and rice every year. What is redundant officials? This is redundancy! Xiao Mazi snorted coldly and said: "The establishment of the Qujing Green Battalion is at the level of the capital secretary, and it is still directly under the jurisdiction of Qujing Mansion, and send a decree to Huang Xigon (the squire of the military department, one of the important assistants of Xiao Mazi in history to bring down Aobai), let him find a reason at will, even if he fabricates credit, give Lu Aiqing's cousin a four-grade capital division, make up for Liu Wenjin's lack, and let their brothers join forces to guard Qujing, the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou!" ”

"The emperor is talented and adaptable, and the servants admire him." Mingzhu patted his farts and said with a respectful face: "Lord Lu learned that the emperor's holy family was long, and he actually personally gave his cousin the title of Sipin Dusi to take charge of the green camp of the first mansion, he will definitely be grateful and serve the emperor more loyally!" Even at the critical moment, he will definitely not disappoint the grace of the saint and win the most critical response time for the emperor! ”

"Your Majesty!" Kong Sizhen screamed with a heart-rending scream.

"Shut up!" Xiao Mazi drank and said, "I know what you want to say, if you want to question my decision, then come up with evidence of Lu Yifeng's disloyalty to me!" If I can't take it out, I believe that Lu Aiqing will definitely not disappoint my Longen! ”

Kong Sizhen was so anxious that she burst into tears, but she was helpless, and Xiong Ci next to her saw that Xiao Mazi's mind had been decided, so he had to quietly pull Kong Sizhen's sleeve and whispered: "Sigege, forget it, the emperor's mind has been decided, and it is useless to say anything." Also, don't be too scared of Sigege, the Qujing Green Battalion is directly under the jurisdiction of the Qujing Prefect, Lu Yifeng has no right to directly command, and there are two Green Battalions in Qujing Mansion, as long as we control Luo Ping's general army, we are not afraid that he Lu Yifeng will make waves. ”

"Is that really the case?" Kong Sizhen's heart kept twitching, and even he didn't know why he was so afraid that Lu Fat would get the army? Although that army has seen it with his own eyes more than once, the equipment is backward, the soldiers are lazy, the military discipline is lax, and it is completely a group of scum with less than five combat effectiveness -- however, Kong Sizhen still has an indescribable fear, a fear from the heart!

Suddenly, Kong Sizhen seemed to see such a scene again, a fat and fat big carp, suddenly jumped over the high dragon gate gate, with many jaws, horns, fins and claws, and the scales of the whole body were shining, making waves, soaring clouds and fog, shaking his head and tail and going straight into the sea............
