Chapter 038: An Unexpected Insider

Princess Jin has been gentle and indifferent to King Jin for ten years, but King Jin has been considerate and caring for Princess Jin for ten years, and Lu Zhan is no longer surprised.

I heard the old man in the house say that this is because the king of Jin married a wife and took a concubine, and the princess minded. But in Lu Zhan's opinion, it is better to say that Princess Jin does not love King Jin so much.

Because if she loves, then how can she allow King Jin to take a concubine?

For example, Song Xiang, in his previous life, someone persuaded him to accept people in the room, and she also generously said, "That's how it should be."

Lu Zhan thinks that he is not a good husband, but he at least has a bottom line, and he naturally won't want to accept anyone else after marrying her.

As the emperor's grandson, in fact, it is not easy to start from the beginning, but she disdains the bottom line that he gritted his teeth and insisted on, which can't help but make people depressed.

So sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, if he really accepted someone one day, would she still be worthy of being a sister to his descendants?

- It's ridiculous to think about!

Chonghua went to the Ministry of Officials, and when he came back, Lu Zhan was entertaining guests.

Mrs. Shen's birthday banquet soon arrived, because the Shen family wanted to add longevity to Mrs. Tai, I heard that there was a picture of Magu offering her birthday in the Jin Palace, and the eldest lord Shen Yijun had already told the King of Jin that it was good, but this evening I remembered that the painting had not been taken, and immediately the second son Shen Yi came to the palace to get the painting.

When Lu Zhan happened to be at home, Lu Zhan invited Shen Yi to Yanzhao Palace to drink tea.

During this period, Wei Chun sent a lot of fruit snacks, and the implication was not too obvious, like he couldn't wait to paste the words Lu Shizi's future brother-in-law directly on Shen Yi's head.

Fortunately, Shen Yi saw Chonghua probing under the door, and put tea in time to say goodbye.

"The case of the Luo family in Luoyang has been investigated." Chonghua took out a file from his bosom and submitted it, "This case is actually related to the grievance between the emperor and the king of Chu back then. ”

The king of Chu is the emperor's elder brother, the eldest son of the first emperor who was provoked by traitorous ministers to seize the throne with the emperor. Later, the conspiracy of the traitors was revealed, and the king of Chu knew that he had been fooled, so he committed suicide in shame in front of the first emperor.

Lu Zhan took it in his hand, and before he could see it, Wei Chun came in again.

"Shizi! Yang Xin hurriedly came to deliver the news, saying that there was a suspicious person in He Mansion again, and he suspected that it was the person who had infiltrated He Mansion last time. ”

Lu Zhan raised his head: "When is it?" ”

"It's just now! Yang Xin saw her enter the He Mansion with his own eyes, so he asked people to interrogate. ”

Lu Zhan paused for a moment, and then stuffed the file into his arms: "Prepare the horse!" ”

……

Song Xiang stood under the back door of the He Mansion, waiting quietly with his chest crossed.

If the steward of a large family has nothing special, he can often go on a business trip at night. Even if there is a need for rotation, it is only a few days. She had already figured out the rules of the He family last time, and she was sure that she would wait until Tang Zhen came out.

Soon, there was movement in the door, and not long after, the corner door opened, and two or three people came out, and after saying hello to the door, they dispersed.

Song Xiang saw Tang Zhen alone and went in the direction of the Tang family alone, so he followed him all the way to the dark place, and then quietly jumped behind him and slashed the back of his neck with one palm!

The palace was only two or three streets away from He's mansion, and when Lu Zhan rushed over, he happened to meet a man in black carrying a person into the ruined temple.

The person carrying it was unrecognizable to him at the moment, but he didn't look thin, obviously stronger than the man in black, but she could carry him into the temple with steady steps.

If the information I heard about her before was still a little conjectural and suspicious, now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, Lu Zhan will no longer have anything to doubt, she really has real skills!

Her curiosity about Lu Zhan was invisibly more than her interest in exploring the purpose of her night exploration.

"Fence it off!" He commanded.

The guards dispersed silently.

Song Xiang carried Tang Zhen to the temple, but he didn't feel so easy. She picked an empty room and let him go, then took two breaths, and then pinched him for a while, and saw him wake up and turn around.

Tang Zhen's eyes were focused, and he immediately shrunk back into a ball, stretching his neck to call.

Before he could speak, Song Xiang put the small porcelain bottle pinned to his waist, the rope, and a three-inch-long knife that looked like a butcher's tendon in front of him: "I just asked you about a few things, and I didn't want to hurt you." As long as you cooperate, the dove poison in this bottle, the rope that strangles the neck, and the knife that picks the tendons will not be used on you. ”

Tang Zhen was immediately silent, and stared at the slip in front of him with wide eyes.

Song Xiang said: "When have you been to Luoyang?" ”

Tang Zhen raised his head and swallowed his saliva.

"Why did you go to Luoyang?" Song Xiang moved the knife forward again.

Tang Zhen gritted his teeth: "How do you know that I have been to Luoyang?" ”

Song Xiang looked at him: "I wasn't sure at first, but of course I know now." ”

Tang Zhen gritted his teeth, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

"Tell me, when?"

“…… Eighteen years ago. ”

"Why did you go?"

"Eighteen years ago, my former owner was an inspector of imperial history, and I lived in Luoyang with him for more than a year."

Song Xiang paused and looked at him: "Eighteen years ago, Lord He should have been in Luoyang, you and Lord He, didn't you know each other at that time?" ”

Tang Zhen didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Song Xiang asked again: "What kind of treasure is Xu Luo's lost treasure?" How much is it worth? ”

Tang Zhen glanced at her suddenly, and was silent again.

Song Xiang moved the porcelain vase forward again.

Tang Zhen's facial muscles trembled, and he tensed up: "That's just a few letters from home!" ”

"Since it's a family letter, why does Xu Luo call it a baby?"

Tang Zhen's face was a little more gloomy. "It's indeed a letter from home. The letter was full of trivial matters. Even on the street, there is nothing to taboo! ”

"Oh?" Song Xiang obviously didn't believe it.

Tang Zhen glanced at her, and then calmed down: "This letter is really nothing special to outsiders. But it was very important to our father, because the stationery of those letters was made by my former employer.

"My former boss used to be kind to Lord He in office, and the two of them were close friends. So those letters are actually not Mr. Xu's belongings, but Mr. He entrusted Mr. Xu to keep them on his behalf. ”

Song Xiang was silent for a while......

After looking at him for a long time, she asked, "What is the name of your former employer?" ”

"The surname is Luo, and his name is Luo Rong. He is no longer alive. ”

"Why not?"

"Eighteen years ago, there was a case in Luoyang, the third master of the Luo family, who was the prefect of Yunnan at the time, got off the horse because of dereliction of duty, and some people said that this matter was related to the case of the emperor who was the prince when he provoked the king of Chu to deal with it.

"My former boss Luo Rong is the second master of the Luo family. was implicated by the third master, and the second master also lost his position. Then he fell ill and died. ”

"Luoyang's Locke?" Song Xiang blurted out.

She had heard a little about the Locke family, Song Yu had been away for a few years, and it was when the Locke family had an accident, and the case spread one after another, and later he briefly talked about it during the chat.

She thought for a moment, and said: "Lord He carefully kept a few pieces of letter paper made by Luo Rong, so it seems that the friendship should be good?" ”
