Chapter 85: Wen Dou (1)
I don't know when it started, digging a pit for Lu Mengzheng has become one of Zhao Gu's pleasures, thinking that he was in front of many people on the street today, making everyone think that Lu Mengzheng had two apprentices with brain problems, Zhao Gu felt a burst of happiness in his heart.

Hmph, old thing, who told you to put me to death, you deserve it!
Thinking like this, Zhao Gu was in a very good mood, and along the way, he almost blew a whistle to express his mood.
However, Zhao Gu is not a person who gets carried away after all, otherwise he would really blow a song "Start Again".
After walking for about ten minutes, two of Lu Mengzheng's disciples took Zhao Gu to a very elegantly furnished restaurant and knocked on a room on the top floor.
A neutral voice came from the room, asking the two young men to bring Zhao Gu in, the two young men did as they were told, Zhao Gu smiled coldly, and in the expressions of the two young men gritting their teeth, they stepped into the room casually.
Entering the room, Zhao Gu looked around, and soon saw four men of different ages sitting on the table in the center of the room.
The younger of these four men is only in their twenties, and the older ones are in their thirties and forties, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they are very bookish and look a little weak.
When the four of them saw Zhao Gu coming in, they didn't get up, they just stared at him directly, and the resentment in their eyes was very heavy.
If others don't speak, Zhao Gu naturally won't look for this uncomfortable, so he doesn't speak, just stands and looks at the four of them.
After a long time, the eldest of the four finally spoke: "Zhao Gu, are you guilty?" ā
Zhao Gu was stunned: "You are an official of the imperial court?" ā
"The right attendant of the official criminal department, Wang Ting, is also." The middle-aged man replied.
Zhao Gu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, he should have thought that among the people who wanted to avenge Lu Mengzheng, there would be high-ranking officials of the imperial court.
As one of the six departments of the imperial court, the Criminal Department is responsible for hearing criminal cases in the world, and its authority is extremely heavy, and this royal court can be the right servant of the Criminal Department, not to mention the high official position, he must be a difficult character himself.
The official position of the right attendant of the Criminal Department, to put it bluntly, is the deputy minister of the Criminal Department, a real cadre with real power, and his official position is generally between the second and third grades, and he is one of the most high-end officials in the Great Song Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, for the sake of Lu Mengzheng, even a high-ranking official like Wang Ting was alarmed, it seems that Lu Mengzheng's identity as the Song Dynasty Prime Minister and the leader of the literary world is really a golden signboard!
But Zhao Gu will not look at him differently because of the high official position of the royal court, the official system of the Song Dynasty is the most relaxed in all dynasties, and there is no kneeling and saluting between officials, even if ordinary people see officials, there is no need to be honest.
In other words, even if a low-level official meets a high-ranking official, he does not have to grovel, on the contrary, if the low-level official is reasonable, he can still argue with reason, and in this case, he will be regarded as virtuous by others.
Although Zhao Gu was not an official of the imperial court, he was not anyone's prisoner, so he did not feel inferior.
After thinking about it, Zhao Gu just hugged his fist at Wang Ting: "The grass people have seen Lord Wang, I don't know what Lord Wang has to tell the grass people to come to?" ā
Wang Ting saw that he was not nervous, and immediately knew that Zhao Gu was not so easy to deal with, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "You still dare to ask this official?" I ask you, some time ago, someone said that Master Lu and his ...... His younger siblings are having an affair, but you let this go? ā
Zhao Gu was amused in his heart, but he asked with a serious face: "I don't know if Lord Wang asked me this sentence, was it as the right attendant of the Criminal Department or something else?" ā
"Does it make a difference?" Wang Tingdao.
"Absolutely. If the adult asks me as the right attendant of the Criminal Department, then please ask the Lord to send a catcher to my house to give an order, and then open a court to try the case in the lobby of the Criminal Department, so as to comply with the laws of the imperial court. Zhao Gu said.
"What if I ask as a friend of Lord Lu?" Wang Ting asked again.
"Hehe, then I refuse to answer Lord Wang's question, Lord Wang should know that ordinary people do not have the right to interrogate others. Unless...... You relied on yourself to be a friend of the ruling minister, and you forced me with power. Zhao Gu said with a smile.
Wang Ting was speechless for a while, he didn't expect Zhao Gu to be so able to quibble, and suddenly pulled Lu Mengzheng in.
His face turned dark, and Wang Ting quickly said: "Zhao Gu, I have long heard that you are tricky and smooth, and it is true when I see you today." It's just that don't you think that if you are still denying it up to now, it is inevitably a little unreasonable? Could it be that Prime Minister Zhao Pu will still wronged you? ā
Hearing him say this, Zhao Gu immediately put away his smile and asked rhetorically: "Since Lord Wang said so, then the grass people will get straight to the point, you are in the Criminal Department, and everything pays attention to evidence and motives, right?" ā
"That's nature, you want to say we don't have evidence for this?" Wang Ting was puzzled.
Zhao Gu shook his head: "No, no, I want to say, I don't know if Lord Wang knows my motive for falsely accusing Lord Lu?" ā
"It's ......."
Wang Ting was speechless all of a sudden, as Lu Mengzheng's descendant, he naturally knew very well why Zhao Gu wanted to deal with Lu Mengzheng, and it was not because Lu Mengzheng's subordinates framed Zhao Gu several times, which provoked Zhao Gu's counterattack.
But this matter cannot be said on the surface, he is here today to rejuvenate the teacher and ask about the guilt, not to discuss who is wrong and who is right.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ting spoke again: "Who knows what you think in your heart, but this official thinks that Lord Lu is magnanimous and broad-minded, and there should be nothing to offend you, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, and it still needs to be investigated." ā
After Wang Ting finished speaking, the middle-aged man in his thirties beside him answered: "What Lord Wang said, the teacher and I both agree very much, but what if the teacher doesn't do something sorry for him?" ā
"It's ......." Wang Ting pretended to be embarrassed, and thought for a while before saying: "What Mr. Li said is reasonable, Lord Lu naturally knows what he is doing, it seems that Lord Lu is definitely not sorry for Zhao Gu, but Zhao Gu does not know right and wrong to slander Lord Lu, it is really hateful." ā
The gentleman surnamed Li nodded: "Lord Wang is clever." ā
After speaking, Mr. Li turned to look at Zhao Gu: "Since this matter has been clarified, my disciples want to ask for the teacher, how do you count the matter of falsely accusing the teacher?" ā
Zhao Gu looked at them coldly, one singing white-faced, the other singing black-faced, and did not interrupt from beginning to end, and asked, "What do you want?" ā
Mr. Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and the young man beside him immediately spoke: "Hmph, what should I do?" My teacher is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, if anyone can slander him, he will be asked to be an official and a man in the future, in my opinion, Zhao Gu must take the initiative to surrender to the Criminal Department and admit that he has falsely accused my teacher, as for how the Criminal Department deals with you, it has the great law of the country. ā
