The wrist was firmly pressed, and the dagger in his hand was only a fist away from Chu Shenxia's chest, Lu Zhi's resentful eyes collided with Liu Yanqing's eyes, and finally faded a little, but the dagger in his hand was always firmly clenched and refused to take back half a point. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Yan slowly turned sideways, blocking in front of Chu Shenxia, seeing that the tip of the knife was about to hit him, Lu Zhi hurriedly withdrew his hand, sighed heavily, and saluted: "Since His Highness values him so much, then I have nothing to say, but in this East Palace, I will never be able to stay, and please ask Your Highness to send me to the barracks." ”

"You are all my confidants, all of whom I trust, no matter which one of you I have, I am like having broken my feet, and I am struggling." Liu Yan stretched out his hand and patted Lu Zhi's shoulder, his eyes flashing twice.

Lu Zhi was unmoved, his eyes were always fixed on the ground, and there was no response.

"Who told you about Lu Ke? And who wrote the blood letter? What is the purpose of this person, have you thought about it? Liu Yan grabbed the key point and asked.

Lu Zhi raised his eyes to look at Liu Yan, frowned tightly and said, "Wu Shou told me that it was Lu Ke who struggled to hold on to his breath before handing the blood book to him. ”

Liu Yan remembered this person, on the second day of Lu Ke's killing, Lu Zhi once knelt at the door of his room and questioned himself with a blood book, so he asked: "Is he in Jincheng or Jiankang now?" ”

"I haven't seen him since I came to Jiankang, so I should stay in Jincheng."

"Then how did you know that it was Chu Shenxia who killed Lu Ke?"

After Liu Yan asked, Chu Shenxia couldn't help but turn to Lu Zhi, after all, this is the biggest question at present, and it is also the most valuable question.

Lu Zhi moved his steps uneasily, scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that every day after sunset, he will leave a note in the City God Temple, and the note is written about how Chu Shenxia betrayed His Highness." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Chu Shenxia angrily, Liu Yan heard this, and said in a slightly aggravated tone: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"I want to wait until I find evidence to inform His Highness, and once His Highness knows about this kind of groundless matter, His Highness will probably not believe it, and he will not cover him up at that time." Lu Zhi's gaze turned on Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia, and he was fierce for a while.

"Where's the note, show it to me." Liu Yan stretched out a hand in front of him.

Lu Zhi did not hesitate, and immediately took out a stack of notes from his arms, Liu Yan took it, stared at it, and the first one was written that Chu Shenxia was ordered by Liu Yu to kill Lu Ke and blame Liu Yan.

The second one is written that Chu Shenxia and Jing Yan should cooperate with each other and want to pull Liu Yan off the position of prince.

The third one is written that Chu Shenxia had a close relationship with the crown princess and intended to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty together with the Lu State.

The fourth one is written that Chu Shenxia will have a big move in the near future and needs several letters from him in order to compare the handwriting.

Liu Yan didn't have any emotion after reading it, and handed it to Chu Shenxia on the side casually, then glanced at Lu Zhi, and reprimanded in a low voice: "I don't know if I was used, I just ask you, if it is Lu Ke who I sent Chu Shenxia to kill, will you hate me as much as you hate Chu Shenxia, and you can't wait to kill me?" ”

Lu Zhi's eyebrows jumped, followed by a sudden jump in his heart, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "My subordinates ......." ”

Liu Yan interrupted him and said: "What Chu Shenxia did at that time was from my position, even if it was to do things for me, it can also be regarded as me ordering him to do things, not mentioning these, Lu Ke was implicated and imprisoned because of me, and he was assassinated by Liu Yu's killers because of me, in the final analysis, it was all because of me." If you want to hate me, you should hate me, it has nothing to do with others, Chu Shenxia is just a knife, and the person who really killed Lu Ke is me. ”

"My subordinates don't dare, I don't dare." Lu Zhi hurriedly said in panic.

Liu Yan asked, "Don't you dare or don't hate?" ”

Lu Zhi's face was flushed, and it took him a long time to squeeze out two words, "Don't hate." ”

He hung his head weakly, he naturally knew that although there was only a one-word difference between not daring and not hating, there was a world of difference, and he also clearly said what the meaning of these two words was.

Sure enough, Liu Yan showed a satisfied smile, motioned for Chu Shenxia to get up, and patted the shoulders of the two of them at the same time, half relieved and half comforted: "Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, is it still as good as before?" ”

Chu Shenxia glanced at Lu Zhi and responded very quickly, but Lu Zhi did not respond, and Liu Yan was not reluctant, so he acquiesced.

Only then did he turn to Chu Shenxia and said, "What's the use of him asking for your letter?" ”

Chu Shenxia pondered slightly, then raised his head and said, "If you want to imitate my handwriting, he has my letters, why bother to take them deliberately?" Besides, I didn't have any confidential correspondence with anyone, and I didn't even write any letters in the year, except for the earlier years when I was in the mountains and my mother wrote more frequently. ”

Liu Yan nodded, and said indifferently: "Presumably, I also took the opportunity to test Lu Zhi to see if he became wary of you." ”

Chu Shenxia stared and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of the true intention of that person, hesitated again and again, but decided to go to Taihu Lake to look for the fishergirl first according to the original plan, and couldn't help but tell again: "Your Highness will remember tomorrow morning......

"I know, I remember, I've been wording just now, don't worry, I'll bite Cong Jian tomorrow." Liu Yan turned around, stepped on the steps, and sat back in front of the table.

"That's fine, I'll be in Taihu Lake these days, three days at the fastest, and half a month at the slow." Chu Shenxia smiled slightly and quipped, "If I can't find it, I won't come back." ”

"Okay, promised, you can find a fisherwoman to be your own son, and you don't have to come back." Liu Yan looked down at the excerpt and answered.

Seeing that he was so busy, Chu Shenxia immediately bowed and bowed and withdrew.

The sun is changing, time flies, on the third day of Chu Shenxia's exit from Jincheng, King Qing lost Simen, and he really couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and immediately shook out Chu Zhi's purchase of officials at the suggestion of Yuanzheng.

Speaking of this, I have to say that King Qing's heart is not ordinary people's ruthlessness, that the middle secretary Tao Jue is the minister who bought the official in Chu Zhi back then, but this middle secretary is under the command of King Qing, and all kinds of news have been revealed, and now he is just to avenge his own personal revenge, so he is pushed out.

The Southern Song Dynasty explicitly forbade the sale of officials and lords, and once the ministers who sold officials were discovered, they would be dismissed or exiled, but those who bought officials would be punished with the crime of killing their heads.

When Liu Yan heard about this, he was very anxious, and sent people to Taihu Lake several times to find Chu Shenxia, but the people who came back said that they couldn't find it, and Liu Yan was so anxious that he couldn't sit down.

Originally, this kind of case would not be dealt with immediately, and sometimes it was common for it to drag on for ten days and half a month, but it was a big crime to involve the minister Tao Jue, and Chu Zhi had been an official all these years to buy connections everywhere to facilitate his own work.

Of course, those are nothing in the eyes of the emperor, the most important thing is King Qing's sentence, Chu Zhi is the father of Chu Shenxia, and the emperor immediately ordered King Qing to assist the Sixing Temple in reviewing this matter.

King Qing naturally knew that Chu Shenxia was not in Jincheng, and every time he thought that he was looking for evidence in Taihu Lake at the moment, a trace of hatred flashed on King Qing's face, and then he rushed to the Si Xing Temple impatiently, urging Chen Que to judge the case quickly.

Just like that, another three days have passed, but Chu Shenxia has never appeared, today is the retrial of the Sixing Temple, if there is no accident, this case will be sentenced.

Liu Yan really has no way, Chu Zhi's crime is a fact, he has also suffered a lesson, it is impossible to kneel in front of the palace with hundreds of officials.

There was no way out in front of him, Ruoyu suddenly proposed to kidnap the prisoner, Lu Zhi was the first to jump out and object, Balabala said a lot of opposing opinions, it was nothing more than that Chu Zhi's crime was a fact, and there was no need to set up an entire East Palace for an irrelevant person.

However, the opposition is ineffective, Liu Yan and Ruoyu have already made a plan, and all he has to do is to implement it. Lu Zhi was naturally unhappy in his heart, Lu Ke, who had done a lot of things for himself, shouted that he was wronged and imprisoned, His Royal Highness had no intention of saving him, on the other hand, Chu Zhi never helped His Highness for half a point, and he was basically a criminal minister, and he actually took the risk to save him.

But Lu Zhi has one good thing, that is, there is a clear distinction between public and private, His Royal Highness wants him to do it, he will do it, and he will not take the opportunity to retaliate against others for the sake of a little resentment in his heart, Liu Yan is also well aware of him, so he is so relieved of him.

The plan was very simple, ambush near the prisoner car, let Ruoyu contain the people, Lu Zhi took the opportunity to take Chu Zhi westward, to Qishan, where there would be people arranged by Liu Yan to pick them up, and then take them to a safe place.

Until the hour before the plan was to be implemented, Chu Shenxia did not appear, and Liu Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and order everyone to act according to the plan.

When there was still a moment before noon, the prisoner car appeared in the sight of Ruoyu, who was Qiao Zhuangcheng's flower seller, and she shouted a code, "Lotus fragrance, as long as three pennies a flower." ”

The man selling fish in the distance stiffened his back, looked at Ruoyu's gaze, nodded slightly, turned to Lu Zhi, who was not far from him, and said with a smile: "This son has some fish?" Very fresh. ”

King Qing sat on horseback, with a smile in his eyes that could not be concealed, hoping that Liu Yan's people would come to rob the prisoner soon, and on the other hand, he hoped that he would not come to rob the prisoner, so that he could kill Chu Zhi smoothly.

"Huh", the sound of the sword unsheathed instantly broke the noise of the street, King Qing saw a woman running towards him with a veil, even if she was veiled, King Qing also knew that she was Ruoyu, knew her swordsmanship, and rushed to the prisoner car behind him, and put the knife in his hand on Chu Zhi's neck, proud of the comer.

Unexpectedly, the person who came didn't stop at all, and he was not afraid to catch up with the people who came to stop her, but he rushed straight towards King Qing, the knife in his hand was so fast that people couldn't see what the move was, only to see more and more people falling in front of her, and she didn't even blink when she stepped on the corpse.

In the end, he stepped on the shoulders of the officers and soldiers and ran towards him, King Qing only had time to say a word you, Ruoyu had arrived in front of the prisoner car, and the big knife in his hand slashed at the prisoner car, "Bang Dang", and the chain was broken by her.

A trace of horror flashed in King Qing's eyes, and when he glanced at Ruoyu flying over, he was immediately so frightened that he couldn't even hold the sword steadily, Ruoyu flew up and kicked horizontally on the prison door, but he didn't take Chu Zhi away, but walked towards King Qing.

King Qing was naturally afraid, and reined in the horse, wanting to turn the horse's head, but before the horse turned around, Ruoyu's knife had already slashed at King Qing, although Liu Yan had instructed her not to kill King Qing, but Ruoyu thought that if he didn't kill him, he would at least be seriously injured, and it would be best to be bedridden for three or five years.

Thinking like this, the attack was also very heavy, King Qing saw that there was no way to avoid it, and immediately stunned there motionless, and only subconsciously exclaimed.

At this moment, Pei Chendong stepped over, the silver spear in his hand blocked Ruoyu's knife, and he gritted his teeth and said hard: "Your Highness, go quickly." ”

King Qing reacted quite quickly at this time, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and even took off the sword in his hand in a hurry, only caring about running wildly on the horse, what Chu Zhi and what Liu Yan, whatever, it is important to escape.
