"Master, my subordinates probably already know who the person who caused the plague is, but we still need one last piece of evidence."

Yin Xun couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked him, "Do you already know who it is?" ”

Lu Kang nodded and said, "What the white girl said is right, it should be Lord Wei Yuanyao Wei." ”

"Is it really him?" Yin Xun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What other evidence do you need?" ”

"Human witness," Lu Kang paused for a moment, and then said, "Princess Zhixuan." ”

Yin Xun didn't understand a little, Yin Zhixuan was so young, what could he know?

Just thinking about it, he saw Bai Junzhuo walk in, and happily said to the two: "My eyes can already see completely, and they are clearer than before!" ”

Yin Xun glanced at her, her eyes returned to their previous looks, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "I'll send Gonggong Zhao to Jingyang Palace to pick up Zhixuan back, and you go with Lu Kang." ”

Bai Junzhuo was stunned and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Explain to the white girl on the way." Lu Kangdao.

After a while, Zhao Chang picked up Yin Zhixuan, and Lu Kang carried her out of the palace with Bai Junzhuo and rushed to Dali Temple.

Wei Yuanyao was not imprisoned, and when the three of them saw him again, he was sitting under the plane tree in the courtyard, playing chess with Shaoqing An Susu of Dali Temple.

On the road just now, Lu Kang had already told Bai Junzhuo everything he had found. At this time, Lu Kang glanced at Bai Junzhuo, and handed over Yin Zhixuan, who had not yet woken up and was a little confused, into Bai Junzhuo's hands.

Bai Junzhuo turned around and entered the next room, Lu Kang walked under the tree, and said to the two with a smile: "The two adults are so early. ”

An Juesu looked up at him and smiled, "Lord Lu is also early. ”

"Yes, the epidemic in the city has not stopped, how dare we sleep peacefully." Lu Kang said a word, turned his face to look at Wei Yuanyao and said: "I entered the palace last night and talked about Lord Wei with Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that Lord Wei's talent is far beyond the reach of the current candidates, and the name of this champion is not worthy of Lord Wei's strength at all." ”

Wei Yuanyao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty raises love, and the minister deserves it." ”

"Lord Wei is modest," Lu Kang said, took out a scroll from his arms, it was Wei Yuanyao's scroll back then, spread it out on the chessboard, and said to him: "You see, Lord Wei's "Wealth of Nations" has only written less than 500 words, but Your Majesty has corrected more than 1,000 words in a free manner, which is enough to see that Your Majesty attaches great importance to Lord Wei. ”

Wei Yuanyao was startled, and hurriedly said, "The minister is panicked. ”

Lu Kang pretended not to know his strange appearance, looked at the scroll with a smile, and suddenly pointed to the frontispiece curiously: "Hey, why is the name on this scroll Wei Putao?" ”

"That's the word in the bottom." Wei Yuanyao explained: "In my hometown dialect, 'Putao' means 'grapes', my father is illiterate, so he gave me the name 'grapes' back then, and I changed it to 'Wei Putao' after I went to private school, and the name 'Wei Yuanyao' was given by my father-in-law." ”

Lu Kang nodded, and seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "In this way, listening carefully to Concubine Yu's accent, it seems to be somewhat similar to an adult." ”

Wei Yuanyao was shocked, and then he realized that Lu Kang was testing him, and he didn't know how to explain it, An Juesu, who had been beside him, suddenly said in a loud voice: "Lord Lu, good and dignified, what is Concubine Tiyu doing." ”

"I'm just curious." Lu Kang smiled slightly, and asked Wei Yuanyao again: "Lord Wei has been married for more than three years, but he has no children under his knees, why doesn't Lord Wei take a concubine?" ”

Wei Yuanyao saw Lu Kang ask about this, his smile faded a little, and he couldn't help but be displeased and said, "Why is Lord Lu so curious about Zai Xia today?" ”

"Just ask." Lu Kang still smiled faintly.

Wei Yuanyao was a little panicked in his heart, guessing that Lu Kang should have found something, so he got up and said, "Lord Lu, Lord An, the lower officials still have something, take the first step." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, and Lu Kang said quietly behind him: "Are you going to the upper reaches of Yong'an Canal to see if the number of corpses is enough today?" ”

Wei Yuanyao was startled, his body stiffened over there, and he turned back to Lu Kang for a long time before he turned back to Lu Kang and said, "I can't understand what Lord Lu said." ”

An Jiesu also got up and said to Lu Kang: "Yes, Lord Lu, if you want to say it, just make it clear, don't play dumb riddles." ”

"The other day, I met in the mortuary two people who had stolen the body and buried it upstream of the Yong'an Canal. At the time, I didn't know why they did this, until the White Maiden said that the plague had a source, and it occurred to me that this should be the source of the plague. Lu Kang said, "The dead bodies were used to pollute the water source, so that the people who drank the water of the Yong'an Canal were infected with the epidemic." ”

"This plague is man-made?" An Juesu's face was full of anger, and he said: "Who is it that is so heartbroken and crazy, and actually regards the lives of the people in the audience as grass mustard!" ”

Lu Kang raised his hand and pointed at Wei Yuanyao: "Yesterday, I arrested two people who stole the corpses, and after interrogation, they confessed to Lord Wei." ”

Wei Yuanyao had already calmed down, looked at Lu Kang calmly, and said to him: "Lord Lu, don't listen to the framed by shameless people, I was wronged. ”

"That's right, I also think it's really suspicious that these two people confessed to Lord Wei so easily." Lu Kangwei smiled and continued: "But there is another thing, which is inseparable from Lord Wei. ”

Wei Yuanyao was not flustered and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Wei can know that lewdness. Messing with the harem is also a capital crime? ”

Wei Yuanyao's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at Lu and said, "Lord Lu, don't spew blood!" If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Indeed, Concubine Yu is very cautious, and has not left any evidence, and even all the palace maids and grandmothers in the Lingxu Hall don't know that Lord Wei often goes in and out of the palace." Lu Kang raised the corners of his mouth and continued: "As for the evidence, it is naturally in Lord Wei's house. ”

"What the hell is the evidence, show it to us." An Jue Su said eagerly: "Lu Kang, don't make too much of your jokes!" ”

Lu Kang said: "I'm not joking, last night I visited the Zhuangyuan Mansion at night and found a leafy vine in the mansion. ”

After hearing this, Wei Yuanyao laughed: "It's normal to have grapevines at home, Lord Lu said that this is evidence?" ”

"The grape varieties of the adults are not ordinary, it is the Cabernet Sauvignon from the Western Regions, which has a holy name." Lu Kang was not in a hurry, and continued: "And I learned from the mouth of the little princess that there is a man who often goes in and out of the Lingxu Palace, has a private meeting with Concubine Yu, and the thing that seals the mouth of the little princess is the red grapes that are more delicious than the grapes paid tribute in the palace. ”

Before Wei Yuanyao could refute, An Jiesu said for him: "What is this, no matter how precious this thing is, there are not a few people in Chang'an City who can afford it." Besides, Lord Wei, like us, has only moved from Xuchang not long ago, and the vine in Lord Wei's mansion is probably also something left by the previous mansion master. ”

"But I also found out that when Lord Wei was studying, the place where he stayed was the house of Lord Du in Chang'an, and Concubine Yu was the daughter of Lord Du! Lord Wei's current mansion is the Taishou Mansion of the year, and you can find out if you ask the nearby residents. But this is not enough to be evidence, the real evidence is-" As he spoke, Lu Kang took out a piece of paper and spread it out, "This is what I wrote down from the root of the tree. ”

An Juesu leaned over to look at it, and it read: "A lifelong appointment, forever married, Wei Putao, Du Shuangrao."

Wei Yuanyao snatched the paper, tore it to shreds, and then still kept his face unchanged, and said to him: "You are right, I did fall in love with Concubine Yu in the early years, but later she entered the palace as a concubine, and I took my current wife, and we are all doing well, so we have never been in touch." ”

"Not in touch?" Lu Kang snorted coldly and said, "I see that you have never severed your relationship, even Princess Zhixuan may not be His Majesty's child, right?!" ”

"You are so untrustworthy that you actually said such a big rebellious thing!" Wei Yuanyao pointed at him, "Lu Kang, you are disrespectful to Your Majesty, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”

"I'm disrespectful to Your Majesty just by telling the truth, what if you have an affair with Concubine Shu? If you are really innocent, do you dare to confess your relationship with the little princess? Lu Kang said, turned his face sideways and said, "White girl, bring the little princess out." ”

Bai Junzhuo had been listening to them, and when he heard this, he immediately pushed open the door and walked out with Yin Zhixuan, who had been woken up.

Yin Zhixuan didn't know what these people were doing at all, rubbed his eyes and looked at them, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Yuanyao's face, and said happily: "Uncle Grape, why don't you come to see Zhixuan?" Zhixuan hasn't eaten your grapes for a long time! ”

As soon as Yin Zhixuan's words came out, Lu Kang sneered: "The princess recognizes you." ”

"That can only prove that I have entered the palace and given the princess grapes, but it does not prove that I have an affair with Concubine Shu." Wei Yuanyao was still not flustered, and instead comforted Yin Zhixuan and said, "Zhixuan, uncle has been busy lately, and I will go to see you when I am done." ”

"So, Lord Wei is going to confess his relatives with blood?" After Lu Kang said a word, he called someone to bring a bowl of water and handed the silver needle to Wei Yuanyao.

Wei Yuanyao seemed to hesitate in his eyes, but he still took the silver needle and stabbed his finger without saying a word.

Lu Kang handed the needle to Bai Junzhuo again and motioned for her to poke Yin Zhixuan. Bai Junzhuo put Yin Zhixuan on the ground, pretending to be her little hand to poke her, Yin Zhixuan looked at the silver needle, and cried in fright: "Sister, what are you going to do?" ”

"Be good, don't cry, it'll be fine for a while, it won't hurt." Bai Junzhuo comforted softly.

"No, I don't, don't!" Yin Zhixuan cried miserably, retracted her hand vigorously, Bai Junzhuo pulled her and didn't let go, Yin Zhixuan's wrists turned red.

The whole courtyard echoed Yin Zhixuan's heart-rending cry, her face turned red, and she turned around and shouted: "Uncle Grape save me, I don't want to be pricked, save me......"

The expression on Wei Yuanyao's face was a little loose, and there was a trace of reluctance in the depths of his eyes.

"Wow...... Mother! I want my mother, you are all bad people! They all bully me! Yin Zhixuan's tears fell down, which was really distressing.

Bai Junzhuo sighed, this little girl really cried heartbreakingly. However, she still held her hand tightly, and raised the needle with a fierce heart, and was about to pierce it, when she suddenly heard Wei Yuanyao shout:

"Let her go! I admit it, I admit it all! ”
