"Lord Lu's slashing is so fast?" Gu Huanli was a little surprised to see Lu Xuan.

Gu Huanli thought that Lu Xuan probably wouldn't be able to see these bloody scenes, and he would hesitate for a long time and it would be difficult to make up his mind, but he didn't think that she would be more decisive than he imagined.

Lu Xuan nodded when she heard this, and no matter why Gu Huanli handed over the matter of the beheading to her for her, she came up and asked directly: "Dare to ask His Highness how he plans to deal with the people of Changshengtang?" ”

Gu Huanli hesitated, and only after a long time did he speak: "Then what does Lord Lu think it should be?" ”

Is this really for her to say? Lu Xuan secretly pondered.

After pondering for a while, she spoke: "Xia Guan thinks that although the people of Changshengtang have violated the law, most of them are forced by their livelihoods, and their families are even more innocent, so they are really not guilty to death. ”

After explaining the reason first, Lu Xuan went on to say his verdict: "The lower officials think that Changshengtang should be disbanded and all its stolen goods should be returned to the treasury, as for the others, ......"

"Why don't you go on?" Seeing Lu Xuan's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Gu Huanli asked casually.

But he knew Lu Xuan's concerns in his heart, and turned to break it down with one sentence: "Are you moved by the righteousness of the owners of Changsheng Hall, and you have pity for them and want to forgive, but you know that righteousness cannot offset the mistakes they have made, so you are at a loss?" ”

In Gu Huanli's words, Lu Xuan could only nod and admit it, and his heart suddenly became a mess.

"If you want to gain a foothold in the deceitful government and the opposition, you should have less kindness for women." Gu Huanli warned Lu Xuan.

She naturally knows the crux of her problem, but every time it comes to such a moment, she inevitably has to let her reason and sensibility fight in her heart.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Xuan spoke: "Your Highness's teachings are extremely good, it is the lower officials who have moved their hearts of compassion, and the lower officials will definitely remember it in the future, and this matter will be left to His Royal Highness to decide." ”

When she said this, Lu Xuan's mind was full of the pleading and grateful look of the owner of Changsheng Hall for her last night, but as an official eunuch, she should always put the people first, and she really couldn't act willfully.

Seeing Lu Xuan's unbearable appearance, how could Gu Huanli not know that she was not willing to be disposed of?

After a while, Gu Huanli took a deep breath and said: "That's it, this king just wants to warn you about the truth of being an official, you just need to remember it, don't take it as an example." ”

Isn't it an example? What does this mean, he, yes? Lu Xuan was surprised when he heard this.

"Your Highness, is this willing to exempt them from the death penalty?" Lu Xuan asked Gu Huanli expectantly.

I only heard him proudly say: "As long as they are willing to hand over all the stolen goods truthfully, this king will naturally not be embarrassed by them." ”

After speaking, Gu Huanli immediately walked away, and Lu Xuan was immediately overjoyed.

However, Gu Huanli's forgiveness is also conditional, so many gold and silver treasures, it is not something that ordinary people can do if they want to give up all of them, just take this opportunity to test the sincerity of the owner of Changsheng Hall to his brother.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately went to the prison again, and when everyone in Changshengtang saw that Liu was beheaded as usual, they were all afraid of their own danger, for fear that they would be the next to go to the guillotine.

Fortunately, it was not the official who was waiting for him, but Lu Xuan.

"Open the door." Lu Xuan walked to the compartment where the owner of Changshengtang was imprisoned and said to the jailer guarding the door.

Hearing this familiar voice, the owner of Changsheng Hall, who was already in deep despair, suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards the door.

"Lord Lu, is it really you?" Seeing that it was Lu Xuan, the owner of Changshengtang hurriedly got up and came to the door with anticipation.

Lu Xuan didn't show any demeanor, and just went in as an official.

"His Royal Highness has disposed of it, and this official is here to convey it on his behalf." Lu Xuan said bluntly.

As soon as he heard that the person who made the ruling was Gu Huanli, the joy in the eyes of the owner of Changsheng Hall instantly dissipated.

After being silent for a long time, he asked tentatively: "I wonder what His Highness plans to do with the brothers in Xia and the village?" ”

Lu Xuan didn't respond when he heard this, but just threw out the conditions proposed by Gu Huanli first-

"If you exchange your entire cottage and all your belongings for the rest of the people in the village to survive, and there is nothing left, are you willing?" Lu Xuan deliberately did not count the person in front of him into the scope of forgiveness.

Fortunately, the performance of the owner of Changsheng Hall did not disappoint Lu Xuan, and he nodded without hesitation: "Willing and willing, I will do things alone, as long as I can let go of the rest of the brothers in my village, I will never complain even if I exchange my life for my life." ”

In this way, a satisfied smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face, and then he spoke to Lin Wei, who was hiding aside and never showed up: "Guard Lin, I'm sorry for you to take someone with me." ”

Lin Wei received the order, and although the owner of Changshengtang was stunned, he still obediently followed Lu Xuan back to the village.

"Lead the way yourself, point out the places where you hide your treasures, as long as you are sincere, this official will keep his promise and release the people of Changshengtang." At the door of Changsheng Hall, Lu Xuan said to the hall master.

He hurried to the front of the crowd, followed by the secret guards led by Lin Wei.

It seems to be unremarkable here, the road is empty, and even the house of the owner of Changshengtang can be seen at the door of the house, and it really doesn't look like it can hide gold, silver, jewelry, and jade antiques.

Lu Xuan looked around as he walked, but he didn't notice anything unusual, until the owner of Changsheng Hall didn't know where he had touched, and the huge wall was instantly split into two halves and opened inward.

Lu Xuan was shocked when he saw this, the back of this wall was even bigger than the outside of the house.

"Come with me, sir." The owner of Changsheng Hall lowered his head and spoke to Lu Xuan, and then walked straight inside.

Lu Xuan was about to follow, but Lin Wei stretched out his hand to block him: "Lord Lu, slow down." ”

Stopping Lu Xuan, Lin Wei immediately walked to the front on her behalf to ensure that the person in front of her would not trick her.

Lu Xuan followed Lin Wei in under the protection of a group of secret guards, but everything in front of her made her dumbfounded.

I saw the owner of Changsheng Hall lighting the candle in the house, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xuan's eyes.

Gold, jade, antiques, rare medicinal materials and weapons are all available, and even the secret rooms of the imperial court officials may not be as rich as here.

Lu Xuan was so shocked that he was a little speechless for a while, until the owner of Changshengtang said: "This is the robbery of a merchant ship in the Western Regions last year, and these are the treasures that Liu Ruchang wants, take them all." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan came back to his senses, everything in front of him was really tempting, no wonder Liu Ru was willing to risk the crime of killing his head to collude with Changshengtang.

"Anything else?" Lu Xuan subconsciously asked, but when the words left his mouth, he realized that he seemed to be a little delusional.

Such a treasure is enough for generations of descendants of Changshengtang, how can there be more?

But the owner of Changshengtang actually nodded: "I think there should still be some private storage over there of the second master." ”

People don't let go of what they have in their private collections, I really don't know whether to say that this village owner is sincere or a god pit.

Hearing this, regardless of whether this matter was true or not, Lu Xuan immediately followed the owner of Changsheng Hall and left here.

Lin Wei instructed some of the secret guards to stay here and load the treasures into the cart, while the other part followed Lu Xuan with him.

The owner of Changshengtang strode all the way, and it was not until he reached the second master's house that there was a slight pause at his feet.

"Why don't you leave?" Lin Wei asked.

The owner of Changshengtang turned back with a look of embarrassment: "I did see the second master bring the treasures back to his house and hide them privately, but most of his house also has organs, I really ......."

He didn't say any more, but his meaning was quite clear.

Before Lu Xuan could speak, he saw that Lin Wei had already ordered the secret guards to search around.

Gu Huanli's secret guards are all trained in the most sophisticated, and it is not a problem to find this little trick.

In less than a cup of tea, I heard a message from the side of the wooden cabinet: "Chief, I found it!" ”

When Lin Wei heard this, he stepped forward immediately, and Lu Xuan also came over to watch.

I saw a dark road leading to the bottom of the wooden cabinet, and I don't know where it leads.

Lu Xuan was still thinking, but Lin Wei jumped down without saying a word, several secret guards followed, and the rest of the people guarded and protected Lu Xuan above.

After a while, Lin Wei carefully investigated below, and then shouted upward: "Lord Lu, there are indeed a lot of things down there, and there is a strange door!" ”

Lin Wei ordered someone to carry the things up and send them to Lu Xuan, and he used his sword to split the lock on the mysterious door and groped his way out along the passage.

"Lord Yulu, this is all the items below." The dark guard walked up to Lu Xuan with the things he had searched.

Compared with the owner of the village, this point is not even the tip of the iceberg, it seems that this second master is either not greedy enough, or is cowardly as a mouse, and only has this savings in two or three years.

Seeing this, the owner of Changshengtang was also relieved, and finally he was not deceived too badly by his brother.

The dark guard transported the treasure out, while Lu Xuan waited for news from Lin Wei in the same place.

I don't know how long it took for Lin Wei to appear again.

"Lord Hui, there is a secret passage below, and the secret passage leads directly to the dock outside the city." Lin Wei said.

Lu Xuan was taken aback, and then turned his head to look at the person next to him who was also Changshengtang: "Do you know about this matter?" ”

The owner of Changshengtang shook his head again and again when he heard this: "The villain doesn't know anything, the second master actually built a secret passage privately, I ......"

It didn't look like he was lying, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was a loss that Gu Huanli tricked the second master and others to the dock and was directly captured by Wan Mei, otherwise if he was allowed to slip away from here, wouldn't he become a fish that slipped through the net?

"Such a ruthless and unrighteous person, the owner of the village is willing to exchange his life for his life?" Lu Xuan asked the owner of Changsheng Hall, and even felt worthless for him in his heart.

But his answer was extremely relieved: "The two of us have been married for many years, and he has never had any second thoughts about me, everything is driven by interests and causes trouble, and it is I who led him astray and blamed him." ”

Lu Xuan simply admired the open-mindedness and bearing of this village owner, and the result of his painstaking efforts was not in vain.

"Let's go." Lu Xuan spoke to the owner of Changsheng Hall: "I hope you can be a bright and upright person in the future." ”
