The escort who was sent by the janitor Lu Lu was not angry, and waited quietly.

It took a long time for the door to open again.

Zongzheng Temple Qing Lu Ran asked the person who seemed to be the leader: "I am Zongzheng Temple Qing Lu Ran, you have an important matter in the future?" ”

"I have seen Lu Siqing, and his brother and he have been ordered by the three phases to transfer a cadre of people who privately created rumors about His Majesty to Zongzheng Temple." The man who looked like a leader replied with a blank look.

Zongzheng Temple Qing Lu Ran shirked with a look of embarrassment and said, "This ...... Several of them are working for the three phases, and I am not embarrassed by a few, but Zongzheng Temple is in charge of the affairs of my Lu royal family, so ......"

"These people are all King Wei's subordinates."

Zongzheng Siqing Lu Ran choked, involving the King of Wei, he really didn't shirk it.

But it was precisely because of the involvement of King Wei that he didn't want to take over even more, this is a hot potato, whoever takes over will be hot.

The Great Zhou Zongzheng Temple is not as good as the previous Jin, with power in his hands, and he is not panicked. If Honglu Temple is a nursing home, then Zongzheng Temple is an orphanage, not to mention the second, no one is much better than the other.

Now Honglu Temple may not be as good as before, if the Jinsha Treaty is not unilaterally torn up, then the Jinsha transaction will continue forever, and Honglu Temple will always be responsible.

Tsk, it's good that there is a boss in the emperor's heart in Honglu Temple, this time there is no need to be a cold bench, this credit is also there, promotion has become easier, and Kong Fangjun will come uninvited.

There is only one orphan left in their Zongzheng Temple, and there is no father or mother. Get close to the royal family, there is a suspicion of putting gold on your face, the real royal family is the emperor, the emperor and the prince. What are these people? It's not okay to get close to the officials, because people are not in the same group as you, and from time to time those officials will wonder if they have received some secret mission to sneak in the information.

Zongzheng Temple is really difficult, an orphan.

Or he Lu Ran can see it, think about it carefully, this position is noble and leisurely, and it is also quite fragrant.

As soon as the door was closed, he hid in a small building and became a unity, and closed him in the Eastern Summer and Spring and Autumn. ①

Very good!

It's really good!

There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. From time to time, he raised the piano, and read the golden scriptures with a cup of tea. (2) This life, according to the people who came to Beijing from Shu County, that is, Ba Shi is very good.

King Wei, Lu Ran is very familiar with him.

At the beginning, the relationship between the king of Wei and the prince was very stiff.

In the late Jingyao period, the competition between the two sons became more and more intense, and at that time, Lu Ran wished that Zongzheng Temple would have no gate, and if there was no gate, there would be no need to open the door, and if there was no door, he would not have to carry out a fierce ideological struggle.

King Wei actually came to Zongzheng Temple and wanted to seek support from Zongzheng Temple.

What Lu Ran thought was that this was not the former Jin Dynasty, and my Zongzheng Temple didn't have much power, so it was useless for you to win over Zongzheng Temple.

King Wei's idea is that I can't find much of the representatives of civil, military, business, etc., and Lu Xun (Hui Di Ji) is on the side of Lu Xun (Emperor Zhang He, Lu Cheng and her Aya). And other clans that are close to the blood are either sealed or controlled by Zongzheng Temple, so if you want to find a convenient representative of the clan, or come directly to Zongzheng Temple, this is undoubtedly a better choice.

Lu Ran was eager to be bedridden at the beginning, so that he didn't have to see King Wei. But no, he was drinking with friends the day before at the Natural Residence (the largest restaurant in Kyoto during the reign of Emperor Jingyao), and fell ill the next day? This is also too fake, too bad for King Wei's face.

If King Wei succeeds in ascending the throne, won't his position as the temple secretary be guaranteed?

So Lu Ran still met King Wei.

When Lu Ran saw King Wei, he knew that King Wei was a ruthless man. Later, the first emperor ascended the throne, and the broken wrist of the strong man of Wei also confirmed his guess.

I have a hunch that I am not deceiving, and I am still a child who is under the care of Taizu Taizong.

After many years, King Wei gave the old man another problem, how did I offend you, old man? Why are you still staring at me?

Lu Bi, King of Wei: Don't point to this king, this king has never cared about you as a little person, when this king and Lu Yi were competing for the throne, it was just a hand-to-hand pull of you, but I didn't expect you to be quite ignorant. As for the fools who were caught, it has nothing to do with this king. This king has always known how to make trade-offs, what abandons the car to protect the handsome, and what strong man breaks his wrist is the king's forte.

"This involves the reputation of the King of Wei, a few of them have thought about it, the King of Wei will be repaid, and a few of them look very young, presumably they have not experienced the competition for the throne of the two sons. Can the old man explain it to you? "To you popular science, if you can bluff it, and then send people from where they come from, it would be great.

"I've figured it out." I'm a truly callous and ruthless executive machine.

"Okay, so what proof do you have when you say that these people are King Wei's subordinates? Even the three phases can't touch the upper lip to the lower lip to send people to me. "Lu Ran is still procrastinating, he really doesn't want to take over, as long as he finds an opportunity, as long as he finds a loophole, he must send these Arhats back to the original temple, Zongzheng's temple is too small to afford so many Arhats.

"Zongzheng Temple also pays attention to rules and order."

"He said that he was the man of the King of Wei." The leader pointed to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head: "How can I be, I am just an ordinary ordinary person, how can I work under King Wei." ”

The leader's memory was so good that he repeated the original words: "King Wei knows, right? He is Jinshang's uncle, if you arrest me, you will offend the King of Wei, and if you offend the King of Wei, you will indirectly offend Jinshang, Jinshang's means, in Kyoto, you must have heard of it. Brother, you don't want to go to the Black Prison for a day. ”

Zongzheng Siqing Lu Ran pretended not to understand: "What does this mean?" ”

"His exact words." The head and neck pointed to the shopkeeper.

"Really?" Zongzheng Siqing looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"It's not." The shopkeeper shook his head again, almost as often as the children's toy rattles.

"Brush-" The leader pulled out his knife and approached the shopkeeper's neck.

The shopkeeper's head stopped shaking in an instant, and if he was not careful, it would be blood splattering.

"That's what you said."

"That's what I said." The shopkeeper swallowed, then repeated.

"How can this be done, isn't this forcing good people to become prostitutes? In this case, anyone has to recognize it. Lu Ran flatly denied it and did not admit that the shopkeeper's answer was valid.

"Then you refer to someone, I'll ask again."

"If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die." Lu Ran was secretly happy in his heart, he was almost ninety percent sure that he could send these arhats away, in this case, how could anyone not admit it.

"Just him." Lu Ran casually pointed at the two guys who looked pale and trembling, as if they were frightened.

Coincidentally, the two people Lu Ran pointed to were the two who received the punishment. Their faces were pale and they were trembling, not because of fear, but because the wounds on their bodies had not healed.

The leader gave a look to his men who were close to them.

"Brush—"

The subordinates who were close to the two immediately understood and took out their knives together, pressed the blades close to the necks of the two people, and then forced them to ask, "Are you King Wei's subordinates?" ”

The two looked at each other and replied in unison, "No." ”

Even if I die, I won't betray King Wei! Although we are just nobodies, we are inherently dead, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. If we sacrifice for the great cause of King Wei today, then our death is heavier than Mount Tai, is it worth it?

The shopkeeper closed his eyelids, not wanting to look at the two fools again.

Lu Ran also looked at the two people he pointed out with incredible eyes.

What's the situation? The righteous or the stunned?

Lu Ran looked at the two people who still refused to admit it in the face of the danger of death, and he didn't have any admiration at all, he knew that he had to accept this hot potato.

"Since that's the case, then my Zongzheng Temple will accept it, come here." As soon as Lu Ran's words fell, people immediately came out of the door, and they had been waiting for a long time.

Lu Ran, this can be regarded as prepared, prescient?

Lyran: I don't want such foresight!

"Farewell!" Seeing this, the leader walked away simply, and after a while, the leader walked away with a group of people.

"It's too crisp, it's like skimming out useless chicken ribs." Lu Ran looked at the dashing back of a cadre walking away and muttered.

"Siqing, what about these people?"

"Send them all to the ashram, but send some water and food every day, and the water and food are carefully taken care of, so that no one will be drugged, and then wait for the Holy Lord to take them away."

"No."

……

In another corner of Kyoto. At this time, there was a conversation about the people who were imprisoned in the ashram of Zongzheng Temple!

"I don't know what kind of madness Xie Li Zhu Sanxiang had, he swept Kyoto three times, and I lost some manpower on my side."

"Hey, too, on my side, there are a few good hands that have been broken before they can be used."

"Me too."

"Me too, me too......"

Once this topic is provoked, it can no longer be closed, and many people have begun to complain.

"Alright, what's the use of complaining with me?"

The Commander-in-Chief's words immediately quieted down.

A group of people in charge: quiet as a chicken!

"This time everyone has losses, but I don't blame you, presumably King Wei will understand. Xie Lizhu has been the prime minister for many years, and his power cannot be underestimated. This time, it was swept away, and it was also unlucky. ”

"If you want me to see, Xie Li and Zhu actually didn't use all their strength, and they didn't use more secret hands yet. And on the bright side, you are just affected by the residual strength, and they sweep each other, but this sweep is much more ferocious. ”

"This is also true, it is the commander-in-chief's thorough analysis, which suddenly calmed down the originally restless hearts of his subordinates."

"Commander-in-chief, I said that we have experienced three sweeps of the three phases, how can we always be such a little person, after the analysis of the commander-in-chief, the subordinates suddenly realized."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and how can there be no sycophants if there are superior and inferior?

"Yes, after the commander-in-chief's on-demand, my subordinates suddenly became enlightened, and this is the reason why no point was completely eliminated this time."

This is a person in charge said: "It doesn't seem right, there is a point that seems to have been removed, it seems to be a ready-to-wear shop, and the shopkeeper's surname is Song." ”

After reminding, more people in charge remembered this shopkeeper Song.

This shopkeeper Song is undoubtedly the shopkeeper who was sent to the ashram of Zongzheng Temple.

"It's him. I remembered, he ......"

"It's hard to put into words, yes!"

"This person has always been like a transparent person, I almost forgot if I didn't mention it, and there is such a person in charge."

"Isn't it?"

"It was you guys who came late, and he was quite active earlier."

"What's the activation method?" The person in charge of this later really didn't know, and he was quite curious.

Some of his language ...... "The old person in charge doesn't know what words to use to describe it, or he doesn't read much."

Another veteran person in charge continued: "It's like a lightning bolt in the sky." ”

Another person in charge added: "It just doesn't make any sense, just smile and it's over." ”

A group of later responsible persons smiled and understood something. Take the stage as an analogy, that's a harlequin, although he is a person in charge, but he is a small role.

The general commander also knew that the shopkeeper Song was his person, so he was not surprised at all that the shopkeeper Song was swept away in this three-phase sweep.

Shopkeeper Song's ability can't be counted on much.

As for why Shopkeeper Song was sent to Kyoto in the first place? This matter still has to start with one of King Wei's concubines. To make a long story short, three words can be summed up as "related households".

"Commander-in-chief, do you want to send someone to ......" A person in charge used his hand to go down everything, which means to get rid of the shopkeeper Song, how to say that the shopkeeper Song is also a person in charge, if he is interrogated and comes out with a lot of valuable news, it will not be good. But it's still too late, so it's better to plug this loophole directly.

"No, you don't." The Commander waved his hand, "He really doesn't know much, it's not valuable, and keeping him there can be misleading." ”

"Everyone remembers, we have gone through the sweep of Xie Li and Zhu, we have hidden deeper, very hidden, all we have to do now is to remain silent. King Wei didn't make arrangements, so we kept silent. Sometimes waiting in solitude is a test of one's abilities. ”

"Did you hear it all?"

"No."

……

Yuzhang County, the gate of the city.

This time, it was not the Zhang family who was wandering at the city gate, but Deng Jin, Xue Qian, and Yue Feng who accompanied him. How are they going to get in?

When they came out, there were three of them, and they did not ride on horses or carriages.

When I went back, it became four people, which was too conspicuous.

"If only I had come out in a carriage." Yue Feng said with annoyance.

"Riding in a carriage? We didn't know there was such a big surprise waiting for us. Xue Qian was not annoyed, she never regretted every decision she made, every decision she made was well thought out.

"And what about us in a carriage? Won't they search the wagon? It's not the former Jin Dynasty, there is a saying that it is inconvenient for a woman to see outsiders, and Tibetans can't hide it at all. Deng Jin was not annoyed, she was more concerned about how they should get in now and what they should do now.
