(pink 541 plus)
By this time it was getting late. When Lu Zhongzhi, who was confused, rushed to the front yard with Lu Zhi, he saw a torch from a distance, and two groups of people were facing each other at the door of the front hall.
One side is naturally the guardian of the Guogong Mansion, and the other side is more than 20 officers and soldiers, looking at the neat clothes, it is actually the guards in Chang'an City!
Before the two parties, three or two people each came out to speak, and the Lu family was naturally Lu Rongyuan and Lu Ronghe, two brothers, but the one opposite was a tall old man over fifty years old.
When Lu Zhongzhi walked to him, the two sides of the confrontation were arguing, and when they saw him coming, they stopped at the same time, the tall old man stretched out his hand with a tense face and saluted Lu Zhongzhi, and without waiting for him to speak, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Zhi beside him, and asked:
"You are the student named Lu Zhi from Guozijian?"
The person who spoke was the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson empress, who was named the Duke of Xue Guo by the first emperor, and the eldest grandson Shunde, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, who worshiped the three products. He was the same founding hero as Lu Zhongzhi, but he was a controversial person, and he was stripped of his official status for corruption in his early years. But after a year, he was returned by the emperor, this person is not corrupt, but his temperament is even more numb. Lu Zhongzhi was not very friendly with him, and after more than ten years, there was no friendship left.
Lu Zhi didn't nod, but a strange young man leaned into his ear and whispered, and nodded at the same time.
The eldest grandson Shunde snorted coldly and waved his hand behind him, "Take it!" ”
"Wait!" Lu Zhongzhi paused the footsteps of the officers and soldiers behind him with a single voice, and said sharply: "Lord Eldest Sun, what is the reason why you broke into my house at night and wanted to take my grandson for any reason!" ”
"Reason? If I am asked to say it here, it will not be as simple as arresting a person. The eldest grandson Shunde took out a brand from his sleeve and held it in his hand and showed it to the two of them.
Lu Zhi frowned, reached out and touched the pouch on his waist, but he didn't see the Guozijian brand that was still on his body during the day.
This is both the guard army and the criminal department, not to explain, how could Lu Zhongzhi let him take people away, and was about to stop him again, but when he saw a young man walking out next to the eldest Sun Shunde, after appeasing him, he asked Lu Zhongzhi to take a step to speak.
Lu Zhongzhi whispered a few words from him, his color changed suddenly, and he said to the eldest grandson Shunde in a deep voice: "I dare to take the head guarantee of Xiang, this matter is absolutely impossible for the grandson to do." Who stole this sign? ”
The eldest grandson Shunde said a little impatiently: "Whether it is his share or not, I will know in the first instance of the Criminal Department." I also promise you that if it has nothing to do with him, no one will be able to move half a finger of him. ”
Lu Zhi looked at the faces of several people, heard a few sensitive words, thought about it in his heart, and said loudly: "Grandfather, I will go with the eldest grandson, I believe that there must be a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly." ”
Governor Lu Zhongzhi couldn't disobey him, so he compromised and said to the eldest grandson Shunde: "Then the old man will accompany you on a trip." ”
The eldest grandson Shunde first said angrily: "If you want to go, I can still stop you," and then the volume was light, almost muttering to himself: "This happened, just let me run into it, this big night, I can't do it, it's really unlucky..."
It turned out that this afternoon, when the eldest grandson Shunde was drinking in the restaurant, he accidentally heard the secret discussion of the Turks in the private room next door, and he could understand a few words when he led the troops in his early years, and knew that these people were Turkic spies, so he sent his subordinates to find a group of guards. took down these spies, thinking that they could make meritorious contributions by catching them alive, but these people all took poison and hanged themselves on the spot, and nothing was found from them, but in that private room, they found a student brand of Guozijian, which was engraved with Lu Zhi's name.
Therefore, after delaying for half a day, he will be angry and take people all the way to the Guogong Mansion.

In the middle of the night, Yi Yu and Lu Shi lay on the same bed, and only after her breathing finally stabilized did she reach out and gently soothe her frowning brow.
Lu Zhi was led to the Criminal Department, although there is no need to worry about the presence of Old Man Lu, but the emperor has just ordered a thorough investigation of the identity of their family, and suddenly such a troublesome thing happened, which made her unable not to suspect Fang Qiao's head.
Tomorrow Dali Temple will come to ask them how to deal with Fang Qiao, looking at Lu Zhi's appearance at night, he is not worried about Fang Qiao taking out a portrait or something to prove their identity, but before he has time to talk to them, he was arrested.
The two troublesome things collided together, she only hoped that Lu Zhongzhi and Lu Zhizhi would come back in time tomorrow, otherwise she could only rely on the method that her mother said at night, and play back as a scoundrel for the time being.
After thinking about it all over the place, Yu Yu gradually fell asleep, and in another place in this Chang'an City, there was an unlucky and poor person who couldn't sleep all night.
***
The second day was a cloudy day. After the dawn, there is still no sun.
At the time of the court meeting, because Fang Lu and the two were left in the court yesterday, some good officials searched for them as soon as they entered the palace, but they did not come until the scattered dynasty.
Liu Dewei, the secretary of Dali Temple, was ordered to prepare for today's interrogation yesterday afternoon, and the early dynasty did not show up, so none of these officials knew that the emperor had issued an edict to him to thoroughly investigate the dispute between the two families. Because it was not the first and fifteenth days of the new year, the officials who came to the court meeting were all high-ranking officials in the capital, but fortunately, there was also a Shaoqing from the fourth rank who listened to some inside information yesterday.
It was just this person who was a mouthyman, so the hundred and ten people walked all the way out of the palace and walked to the gate of the long imperial city, and under word of mouth, more than half of the people knew about the Dali Temple meeting today about the two families of Fang Lu. Most of these people have official qualities, but their functions are not up to the bottom, such as Du Ruhui's generation, and they will not be mixed with them.
If you want to see the excitement, of course. But Dali Temple tried the case, how could they be allowed to watch. So, a group of people openly and secretly congratulated that Shaoqing and promised a banquet, just to listen to the first-hand news.
This Shaoqing was besieged, but Liu Dewei was because there was neither an plaintiff nor a defendant, and for the first time in his life, he encountered a confused case of snatching his children's wives and children between his sons-in-law, one head and two big, he is a person who understands, and he knows that this case is not well tried, and he will be complained by the two families and the dissatisfaction of the emperor, that is, the trial is good. will also end up with a family resentment, which is really a thankless thing. But what does the emperor mean, he didn't say anything at all, which made him hesitate for a night before he made up his mind - trial, according to the rules, what should be, that's what it is.

Besides, the Huaiguo Mansion, Yi Yu woke up in the morning at the call of the Lu family.
Halfway through the breakfast, Lu Rongyuan and the others went to the courtyard, and according to Lu Zhongzhi's explanation yesterday, they accompanied them to the same Dali Temple to pass on. Lu Zhi and Lu Zhongzhi did not return overnight, and the person sent by the government to ask for the letter only got a message from Old Man Lu, saying that there was no need to worry, but he did not say when he would come back.
Lu Jingshan looked at the food on the table that had not moved a few bites, helped the mother and daughter each fill a bowl of sweet porridge and put it in their hands, and persuaded: "You didn't eat well last night, there must be a lot of things today, don't eat more at this time, don't run out of strength by then." ”
After hearing this, the Lu family felt reasonable, so he drank another half bowl of porridge, and Yi Yu also nibbled on two more buns, thinking that he would turn out the rest of the soul suppression left over from the last time for Li Tai, and eat one with the Lu family. Putting aside the trial of the case and not trying the case, today I want to see Fang Qiao's family, how can I lose mentally.
Lu Rongyuan said: "Don't worry, eat slowly, Dali Temple will only start after the time as usual, and it will only be half an hour later." Then he hesitated and said to Yi Yu: "I think you should go back to school after breakfast, you are not choosing the person who wrote the book recently, and if you delay for such a morning, you will definitely be brushed down." With us with your mother here, nothing will happen. ”
In fact, there is nothing to do with this for the time being, when the Lu family leaves home. She's still in her womb. To prove the identity of their family of four, most of them started from the Lu family.
Yi Yu swallowed the bun in his mouth, shook his head and said, "The eldest brother may not be able to come back, and the second brother is not here, I want to accompany my mother." It's a good thing to write a book, but I'm so young that I'll still be brushed off if I want to come to the end, so it's better to give up early. ”
Among the more than 20 people left now, except for her, Changsun Xi, and Lu Shuqing, who are younger, they are all young people who are sixteen years away, and it takes a few years to write a book, she is really involved in it, and when the book is completed, I am afraid that she will also get married and have children. Compared to what was happening at hand, those fame were really not worth mentioning to her.
Lu Shi knew that she was not worried about herself, so he reached out and touched her head, and said, "If you want to go, you can follow, and you are not guilty of murder and arson, they can't eat us." ”
"That's right," Lu Jingshan looked up and down at the academy clothes on Yi Yu's body and the simple clothes on Lu's body, and said dissatisfiedly:
"You don't look like this, after eating, hurry up and change your clothes, put on everything you should wear, put on everything you should wear, even if you can't admit your identity, you have to let the person surnamed Fang know that we are living a good life now, but it is not uncommon to be the lady of his family!"
Yi Yu wiped his mouth and said: "Yes, mother, you are dressed beautifully, let that person see it when the time comes, but you can't recognize it, you are in a hurry, you are poor, hehe." ”
The Lu family had already let go of Fang Qiao's matter, and listening to them joking like this, his mood was much more relaxed. So after using up the breakfast, I was stunned by Lu Jingshan for half an hour, and just hung a gold-painted shawl on the crook of my arm, and someone came to report that Dali Temple sent an official to pass Lu Zhongzhi, Lu Shi and Lu Zhi to the past.
When the Zhao family and the Dou family, who didn't know anything in advance, got the news that Dali Temple had come to pass on people, the four Lu brothers and sisters had already taken a carriage and went to Dali Temple under the escort of the official.
On the other hand, Lu Zhi, who had been confined overnight in the dormitory of the Criminal Department, was led out for questioning for the second time. Just wait for a passing scene to release the person.
