"That's right, if we start with this criminal department waiter, let the criminal department waiter confess all the crimes of Lord Liu, isn't this also a good thing?"

Wei Xiuyuan frowned, why didn't he think of this stubble before, so he hurriedly said.

"Then I'll go talk to the waiter of the Criminal Department right now to see if he is willing to confess to Lord Liu."

Li Niang sighed, and hurriedly pulled Wei Xiuyuan to sit down.

"Lord Wei, it's not appropriate for you to go to this matter, you just pretended to be sick in front of the emperor, how can you appear in front of the emperor at this time, or let Lu leave, Lu Li happened to know King Ning, he told King Ning, King Ning would naturally let him enter the prison, it was not a difficult thing."

After speaking, Li Niang looked at Lu Li, and there were indescribable thoughts in her eyes.

"And General Lu, if you go to see the squire of the criminal department, you can't ask him directly."

This made Lu Liyao also feel a little puzzled, if he didn't ask this criminal department squire directly, then what else could he do.

"Senior Liniang, I don't know what you mean, do we still have to ask around the bush?"

Li Niang didn't speak, but Xiao Man interjected directly.

"Lu Li, you don't want to think about it, now that the waiter of the Criminal Department has already set the date of questioning and beheading, for him, it doesn't matter whether he confesses to Lord Liu or not now, if he is a little lighter, he naturally doesn't want to drag Lord Liu into the water, so we have to offer some tempting conditions before he can speak."

Lu Li pondered for a while, he is now incognito, and he is no longer the Duke of Zhenguo Lu Li, but even if he returns to Lu Li's identity, he can't take the same handwriting as Lord Liu, and he doesn't know how many lifetimes he can make up for it.

"Xiaoman, then what should we do, if we want to say so much silver, our Lu Mansion naturally can't take it out, and besides, I don't want to buy people's hearts with money, I don't think I can make the waiter of the criminal department speak."

Xiao Man thought about it, and he had a plan in his heart.

"If you want this man to speak, you don't have to use silver, maybe we can use the emperor's dictation to deceive him."

"What? Xiaoman, don't you mean to fake the emperor's message? ”

Lu Li has always been honest and follows the rules, at this time he heard that Xiao Man wanted to fake the emperor's message, he was naturally a little anxious, Xiao Man saw Lu Li's anxious appearance, I don't know why, laughed, I always felt that Lu Li was like a monkey that had been plucked, dangling over there, very anxious.

He immediately took Lu Li's hand and told him not to worry.

"Lu Li is fine, only we know about this matter, and no one else knows, let alone the news reaching the emperor's ears, and as long as we induce the squire of the criminal department to confess to Lord Liu, and we intercede for him in front of the emperor, this is not a false rumor, it is just to inform him in advance."

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, and he didn't know if he should do what Xiaoman said.

Wei Xiuyuan was naturally anxious when he saw Lu Li so hesitant on the side.

"Lu Li, what are you hesitating about, Xiaoman has come up with such a good method, if you don't hurry up and use it, I'm anxious for you!"

Hearing what Wei Xiuyuan said, Lu Li also felt that he couldn't stick to these outdated rules, otherwise he would miss this good opportunity and the matter would be delayed, so he immediately went out to King Ning's mansion.

To say that King Ning has nothing to do these days, and he is not willing to spend time on government affairs in the court, he is only looking for traces of Salia among the people, and when he saw Lu Li coming, his expression was also faint, I don't know why he saw King Ning's recent appearance of being pure-hearted and lacking in desire, Lu Li was a lot more relieved.

After all, he and King Ning used to be allies, and if they really started to fight for the throne one day, Lu Li would not want to see it.

"What's the matter, General Lu has such good weather, why did he think of coming to my house to sit?"

"I want you to help me go to prison, I want to say a few words to the squire of the criminal department."

Seeing Lu Li like this, King Ning smiled, "General Lu, I advise you not to waste your efforts, I know that you must want the criminal department squire to confess that Lord Liu is the mastermind, but this criminal department squire has a weak temperament, and now he knows that he is going to die, and he is even more reluctant to say a word, I asked for a long time before, but he didn't have the slightest thing to reveal, even if you go, you won't get anything, it's better not to waste this time." ”

Lu Li frowned, looking at King Ning, he hadn't tried it yet, how could he say that he was wasting time.

"Anyway, you take me to meet him first, if you can say anything, I'll give it a try."

Hearing that Lu Li was so resolute, King Ning also felt that this matter was not harmful to him, so he took Lu Li to the prison.

When he went to the prison, Lu Li really saw a depressed face of the criminal department waiter, to say that he had been a criminal department waiter for many years and had fulfilled his duties and did not make any mistakes in his work, this time it was also because of the collusion between the criminal department Shangshu and Lord Liu that he was implicated.

Seeing Lu Li walk into the cell, the squire of the Criminal Department glanced at Lu Li lightly, at this time Lu Li was wearing a human-skin-mask-mask, and the squire of the Criminal Department naturally regarded him as Su Shuo, and he didn't know what the purpose of this Su Shuo was, he actually wanted to enter the troubled waters of Shangjing.

"What are you going to do?"

This criminal servant was very puzzled, to say that he had no friendship with this Su Shuo, there was no need for Su Shuo to come to visit him when he was about to be beheaded.

"I have a few words for you."

Lu Li also knew that the waiter of the Criminal Department was a fast-talking person, and he didn't want to go around with him at this time, so he sat down directly, took out a pot of wine he brought from his arms, and then took out two wine glasses, and filled these two wine glasses with wine.

The waiter of the criminal department was a little suspicious when he saw the wine in this cup, for fear that it was poisonous wine, so that he would not have to go to the guillotine again if he died in prison.

Just when the waiter of the Criminal Department was suspicious, Lu Li drank the wine without concealment, and specially showed the bottom of the cup to the waiter of the Criminal Department, seeing that Lu Li was so frank, the waiter of the Criminal Department immediately understood that Lu Li came at this time, not to kill him, maybe he really wanted to say something to him.

So he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it directly, the mellow aroma of this wine immediately spread out on the tip of his tongue, and the hot taste spread in his stomach, which made the waiter of the criminal department feel a little nostalgic, but he didn't expect that when he was dying, no one wanted to come to see him, but a strange Su Shuo would come to give him a glass of good wine.

"I think you must have come to the prison to ask me if I would like to confess Lord Liu, but I'm sorry for this matter, I'm afraid I have to refuse."

"Why?"

Lu Li looked at the face of the squire of the Criminal Department who was now very pale, but his expression was very indifferent, as if he did not have a trace of fear of death.

"There's no why, I just don't think it's necessary, I'm going to die anyway, what does Lord Liu's future life have to do with me, I might as well hurry up and do the mundane things, so that I can quickly get in front of the king of Hades, drink that bowl of Meng Po soup, and reincarnate, I just hope that I will become a rural farmer next time I am reincarnated, and I will never enter these disputes in officialdom again."

Lu Li nodded, there is nothing wrong with what he said, to say that the dispute in the capital is indeed annoying, every time he sees these dark sides, it makes Lu Li very desperate, fortunately, Su Xiaoman has always been by his side, if there is really an afterlife, he is also willing to be a field couple with Su Xiaoman again, and don't return to the turbulent government of Shangjing.

"But Lord Liu has done so many wrong things, won't you punish him?"

The squire of the criminal department smiled bitterly.

"Punish him? Does he have any grudges or grudges with me, and why should I punish him, this matter has indeed not been handled properly by the Criminal Department. Punished by the emperor. Naturally, I have no regrets. As for Liu Da. Since he has done all the bad things, God will punish him, so why should I testify? ”

I didn't expect this squire of the criminal department to be so stubborn, and he still believed in the doctrine of destiny, which made Lu Li very helpless, to say that good people have good retribution and bad retribution for bad people is just a common saying, when have you ever seen bad people really have bad retribution, there are many bad people because no one reported them, so they are free for a lifetime, if it really makes Lord Liu get such an ending, how can Lu Li's heart be relieved.

Lu Li recalled what Xiao Man told him before he went out, it seems that if he didn't really use the emperor's dictation to deceive this criminal servant at this time, I am afraid that this criminal servant will not speak.

So Lu Li said slowly.

In fact, I came this time, not only to see you for myself, but the emperor asked me to bring a few words.

Hearing that the emperor wanted to bring a few words, the eyes of the waiter of the criminal department lit up suddenly, to say that he was still very loyal to the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to still think about him at this moment.

He also felt a little moved, at this time his eyes were also red, recalling that he had just been admitted to the top of the championship at that time, the most high-spirited moment, to thank the time, but also the first time he saw the emperor, he saw the dragon chair that was about the same age as himself, he felt a little intimate, at that time the emperor was full of praise for his talent.

I also secretly made up my mind to serve the court for the dedication of this monarch for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect that I couldn't resist the temptation of desire in the end, and I didn't expect that I had lost myself, and the emperor should still remember himself, and even read his original intention, and let Su Shuo come to see him.

So at this time, the waiter of the criminal department asked anxiously.

"What did the emperor ask you to tell me?"

Seeing that the Criminal Department was looking forward to it, Lu Li was a little unbearable, thinking that it was indeed his own fault to lie to him like this, if he could really get Lord Liu this time, Lu Li swore that he would spare no effort to save the life of the servant of the Criminal Department, which could be regarded as making up for his mistake of deceiving him today.
