By the moonlight, Lu Fan could vaguely see the direction in which Ding Baiying and the others disappeared.

But after a moment's hesitation, he finally gave up his plan to follow and find out the master behind them.

Who is the person behind the scenes, he knows very well in his heart, it is nothing more than Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, who is waiting for his brother to ascend to heaven, and then he can successfully ascend the throne.

If there is no accident, the other party's ascension to the throne will only be in the past few days, and Lu Fan will not want to tear his face directly with the future emperor.

After all, in this era, no matter how strong the individual force is, in the face of a behemoth like the state apparatus, he can only retreat.

Looking up at the hazy full moon, Lu Fan secretly pondered in his heart.

Chongzhen this person, there is a lot of controversy in later generations, it is certain that this is a diligent king, but he is also a suspicious and suspicious person, with soft ears and lack of responsibility, not a master who can assist.

With such an emperor, he may be thrown out as an outcast by the other party at any time, which is used to calm the disputes between various forces.

"The water in the capital is too muddy, it seems that we need to find a chance to transfer it out!"

........

In the suburbs, in an inconspicuous courtyard, Ding Baiying knelt on one knee and worshipped on the ground.

In front of her, a graceful and luxurious young noble man was sitting in front of the desk, looking down at the brocade-clothed woman below with sharp eyes.

"I know your skills, even if it is a few stalls under Wei Zhongxian, they can't take any advantage in your hands, and as a result, the three of them can't take a single Lu Fan?"

Ding Baiying shook his head, considered his words, and said, "That person has gone through life and death, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been reborn. is not very old, but his sense of battle is far beyond others, and in this world, it can be said that no one can win him. ”

"In this way, this is also a talent!" The noble prince took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Is it possible to collect it for your own use?"

"This person is stubborn, he just wants to protect himself, for the time being, unless the prince can ascend the throne and recruit him as the Son of Heaven, it is difficult for this person to work for anyone!"

"That's it, he killed Wei Zhongxian's nephew, and he is already on the opposite side of the eunuch, so he doesn't need to worry about being an enemy of us!"

Speaking of this, the noble prince paused and asked, "He doesn't know that there are traces of me behind your scenes, right?"

"He only found Guo Zhen before, and the clue was cut off by us. Therefore, Lu Fan only thinks that this is a struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party, and he doesn't want to get involved in the party struggle, so he will negotiate peace with me and not interfere with each other in the future!"

"It's okay!" the noble man nodded, "This matter will end here, don't make any extraneous branches, I have a lot of use for this person!

"Yes!" Ding Baiying subconsciously received the order, but then hurriedly said: "In the Jinyiwei case library, there is a record of Guo Zhen's participation in the construction of the emperor's cruise ship, and there are many people involved in it, which is a hidden danger. ”

"Originally, I planned to blackmail Lu Fan with a handle and make him burn down the case vault, but this person would rather be an outlaw than be coerced, so I had no choice but to give up. ”

Hearing this, the noble prince frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Your second senior brother, Lu Wenzhao, holds the position of a thousand households in the Beizhen Fusi, and the case library is also under his jurisdiction. The matter of the case library, let him act at the opportunity, if the East Factory finds out there, he will find a way to destroy the case library!"

"Got it!"

Ding Baiying got up and saluted, turned to leave, and after closing the door, a touch of gloom appeared in her expression.

His Royal Highness King Xin, who was assisted by her senior brothers and others, never asked how the casualties of her two brothers were!

This kind of mean and ungrateful person, if he is the emperor, can he really sweep away the traitors in the court, prosper the Ming Dynasty, and return the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment?

.......

In the next few days, the entire capital undercurrent surged.

The news that Emperor Tianqi was critically ill had begun to spread in Beijing, and the eunuchs under Wei Zhongxian blocked the palace gate, and no one was allowed to see the emperor.

In this depressing atmosphere, the news of being burned down came from the Jinyi Wei case library, and the father-in-law of the East Factory died.

If it was in normal times, this matter would definitely cause a big stir in Dongchang, but at this juncture when the emperor was about to die, Wei Zhongxian couldn't care about anything else, and he didn't bother to pay attention to such a pickled matter, but just ordered Jinyiwei to be responsible for investigating the matter thoroughly.

In the past few days, Lu Fan and others have not been idle, and have almost kept running between various markets to arrest the so-called rebels.

The rebels did not catch a few, but they caught a lot of traitors, and a lot of various property was also seized, which made Lu Fan, who was short of money at hand, greatly alleviate the financial crisis.

After all, the cultivation of the inner family boxing method is really too expensive, and without sufficient financial support, it is really difficult to continue.

This happy time to catch the rebels did not last long, because on the 11th day of August in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong died.

Since he had no heirs, Zhu Youzhen, the king of Xin, was ordered to succeed to the throne on the 24th of the same month, at the age of 17.

And on the day that King Xinwang Zhu Youzhen inherited the throne, the envoy of King Xin's Mansion came to Lu Fan's house.

..........

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

In the middle of the palace, there is a throne, there are warm pavilions at both ends, and in the huge palace, there are only two figures, a man and a woman, who are standing at the door with their heads bowed, as if waiting for the arrival of the master of this hall.

At this moment, Lu Fan was dressed as a little eunuch, and even rubbed some powder on his face that looked a little green, and the whole person looked red and white, extremely handsome.

Beside him, the old acquaintance Ding Baiying, dressed in palace maid clothes, was covering her mouth and smiling, her eyes looking at Lu Fan from time to time.

"The surname is Ding, I am not the only one who is good in this world, why do you have to choose me?"

Lu Fan's voice was very low, but he believed that Ding Baiying would definitely be able to hear it clearly.

"There's no way, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, you can only bring your personal eunuchs and maidservants into the palace, the right age and good skills, I think about it, except for you, there seems to be no one else!"

"Besides, I also mentioned it in passing, it is Your Majesty who is really determined to use you!"

Lu Fan rolled his eyes, feeling a little depressed at the moment.

When he received an edict from the envoy of the Xinwang Mansion and asked him to enter the palace to be the emperor's personal eunuch, Lu Fan almost killed the official and rebelled!

If it weren't for the envoy who explained the matter clearly in time, and just asked him to disguise himself as a eunuch to temporarily protect His Majesty's safety, otherwise Lu Fan would have escaped from the capital and fallen into the grass!

But even so, he was still extremely unhappy in his heart, looking at Ding Baiying, who had cheated himself, how to see how angry.

This woman doesn't talk about martial arts!

said that they would not disturb each other and be fine, but they still made such a show for themselves!
