Chapter 684: Incomprehensible

Lu Yifan's appearance is too familiar to Chang Xu, because the portrait of him who is wanted is still hanging in Chang Xu's study, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that he is staring at Chang Xu all day long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that what Chang Xu has seen in the past six months has always been an expressionless portrait, and today he can see a Lu Yifan with vivid eyebrows.

"You ......"

"I advise Governor Chang Xu to be calm and not to make a fuss. Facing Chang Xu, who looked shocked, Lu Yifan shook his head lightly and said, "Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can get out of this room alive." ”

Lu Yifan's words made Chang Xu, who had spoken to his lips, gasp violently, and suddenly quieted down. Chang Xu is not a strong person, those who are familiar with him know that he has always been timid and cowardly as an official, at this moment, Chang Xu stared at Lu Yifan with trembling eyes, and the fear in his heart had completely covered up his anger at Liu Tang for deceiving himself.

"What do you want to do?" Chang Xu looked at Lu Yifan with a hard head, and said tremblingly, "There are all Pontus people outside, if you dare to do anything disobedient to Pontus, it will be difficult for you to fly." ”

Lu Yifan smiled slightly, he didn't care about Chang Xu's threat at all, and said lightly: "I have no grievances with you, and I don't want to embarrass you, but I want to discuss one thing with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Miss Liu's marriage. Lu Yifan got straight to the point, "I hope that Governor Chang Xu can give up the idea of taking Miss Liu as a concubine and let her live." ”

Chang Xu was stunned when he heard this, he never expected that the famous Lu Yifan would discuss the marriage of an inconsequential folk girl with him today, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "This matter is a matter between the governor of Pontus and the Liu family, what does it have to do with you?"

Lu Yifan chuckled and said: "My life was saved by Miss Liu, you just treat me as a repayment! You should know that you and Miss Liu are far from the age gap, and they are not compatible." If you force her to marry her as a concubine, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to ruining Miss Liu's lifelong happiness, I don't want my life-saving benefactor to be married and happy for life. Is this reason often satisfying?"

Chang Xu's mood at this moment was much calmer than at the beginning, and he frowned and asked tentatively, "If Pontus doesn't agree to you...... What do you want?"

Lu Yifan suddenly smiled, with a little helplessness and a little banter in his smile, and said with regret: "If Governor Chang Xu doesn't agree, then I can only wronged Governor Chang Xu to die a few years in advance, so as not to stay in the world and continue to harm others." ”

"You dare to kill me?" Chang Xu was shocked, and then he suddenly thought of all kinds of rumors about Lu Yifan, knowing that the smiling man in front of him was actually a murderous demon king with blood on his hands, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Just now Pontus just said that if ...... It is not necessary to marry her as a concubine. Chang Xu changed his words quickly, as if he was afraid that Lu Yifan would not give him a chance to explain.

Liu Tang, who was standing on the side, kept his head down and didn't say a word, silently listening to the conversation between Lu Yifan and Chang Xu. He knew very well in his heart that his position in the Border Guard Mansion would definitely not be able to be kept after today, and secondly, deep down in his heart, he actually hoped that Lu Yifan could successfully save Liu Zitang's marriage, after all, no matter how much he hated his wife, he would not be happy to push his own daughter into the fire pit.

"Okay, as long as you don't embarrass me today, I promise you not to marry Liu Zitang as a concubine. Chang Xu has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally understands the principle of delaying the army, and the most important thing for him at the moment is to try to save his life first, as for whether to give up Liu Zitang, after he is safe, it is up to Lu Yifan to have the final say.

"If Governor Chang Xu is really so well aware of the righteousness, Lu is naturally grateful. Lu Yifan nodded and smiled, as he spoke, he turned around and pushed the four treasures of the study that had been placed on the table to Chang Xu, and said, "But in order to prevent Governor Chang Xu from being untrustworthy in the future, I also asked Governor Chang Xu to write down a guarantee today." ”

"Guarantee?" Chang Xu asked suspiciously, "Do you want me to promise not to marry Liu Zitang as a concubine?

"It's child's play. Lu Yifan said with a smile, "So what I want the governor to write is not to promise not to marry Liu Zitang, but to write down all the little-known crimes you have committed in the officialdom in the past few decades." ”

Chang Xu was shocked when he heard this, and retorted pretending to be righteous: "The governor of Pontus is an honest official, and he has been honest and fair all his life, and no one in my colleagues knows what kind of person Chang Xu is, where is there any crime......

"Before you came to Northern Xinjiang to take office, you served as a city army for five years, a clerk in the yafang for five years, a grain officer for seven years, a tax collector for three years, a river mansion for two years, a mountain forest mansion for three years, and then followed General Han Xiao to serve in the army as a military minister for five years, and in the next fifteen years you were the city lord of three cities respectively, and for the last eight years you have been an auxiliary minister of His Majesty the Emperor in the Jinling court. Lu Yifan told Chang Xu all the way to his official career, "From 'little official' all the way to 'Marquis' Lord Chang Xu is really on the rise, but according to the standard of officials at all levels in the Holy Domain, the total amount of money you get from being an official for so many years should not exceed 30 million silver shells." But as far as I know, there are as many as 30 concubines in your family, of which the most expensive concubine will cost five or six million silver shells, and the least cost is more than one million, even if all of them are more than one million, the cost of these thirty or so rooms of concubines together is far more than the amount of money that Chang Xu Dudu has obtained for so many years, not to mention that in addition to the mansion rewarded by the emperor, there are more than a dozen large mansions and thousands of fertile fields in Jinling City, plus the delicacies of the mountains and seas that you eat in your mansion and the silk and satin worn by your wives and concubines, as well as the gold, silver and jade you treasure, all the miscellaneous items over the years are far more than three or five billion silver shellsI don't know where the governor of Changxu got so much money?"

Lu Yifan's knowledge of Chang Xu was not his unpredictable prophet, but what Liu Tang told him yesterday afternoon. Liu Tang is well versed in the way of slapping horses, so every time a new official takes office, Liu Tang will do everything possible to find out the details of the new official, so as to facilitate future actions. It's just that what people didn't expect was that the news that Liu Tang was originally used as a whisker and a horse has become a strong evidence that Lu Yifan wants to blackmail Chang Xu.

Listening to Lu Yifan uncover his old bottom word by word, Chang Xu's face became extremely difficult to look at, he stared at Lu Yifan tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "Let me ask which one of the people in the Holy Domain up and down the court and the field can eat Yulu with peace of mind? Don't you say that your father, Lu Haoqian, Duke of Wending, also seized tens of billions of stolen goods when the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the Duke of Wending? Compared with your father, what is the mere three or five billion dollars of the Governor of Pontus? Among the ministers of the Sacred Domain, the Governor of Pontus is already very incorruptible. Chang Xu said righteous words, and he was really deeply aggrieved when he looked like that.

"Don't talk about corruption, then let's talk about Chang Xudu Governor perverting the law, right?" Lu Yifan was not happy or angry, and said quietly, "Since you became a clerk in the yafang, you have had the viciousness of seizing people's daughters, you have used your power for personal gain, relying on the power in your hands to marry other people's daughters as concubines, and harming at least five innocent girls who were forced to death by you, can you push this away? Sun He of Wanxi City, Li Qiao'er of Fengjiang City, and Zhang Caimei of Xiahu City...... Do you want to hear me give you your name one by one?"

Chang Xu's face turned pale when he heard this, although he didn't know how Lu Yifan knew his details, but what Lu Yifan said was indeed word for word, Chang Xu always thought that no one would pursue the matter for many years, but he never expected that Lu Yifan would turn over old accounts for him today. Looking at Chang Xu, who was silent, Lu Yifan casually threw the brush on the table in front of Chang Xu, and said lightly: "Write it yourself, otherwise you won't be able to get out of this room." ”

"If I write...... Are you going to hurt me?" Chang Xu seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden, and his whole person became very depressed, "If you give this confession to His Majesty the Emperor, then I will ......"

"As long as you don't embarrass Miss Liu in the future, and don't take it by force in the future, the emperor will never see your confession. Lu Yifan said faintly, "But if you go back on your word, not only will the emperor not let you go, but I, Lu Yifan, will also kill your Chang family." The last four words, Lu Yifan's tone was particularly affirmative, and Chang Xu could also hear that Lu Yifan's words were by no means a random joke.

After Chang Xu hesitated for a moment, he first looked at Liu Tang, who was silent beside him, and then looked at Lu Yifan, who was staring at him, his eyes were just about to look at the door behind him, but Lu Yifan's voice came quietly: "Chang Xu Dudu, if you want to escape, I will kill you, since I have already said it in front, then I will not give you the slightest chance to change." I advise you not to try to challenge my endurance. ”

A flash of despair flashed in Chang Xu's eyes, he staggered to the table and sat down, and began to slowly write down his various crimes for so many years on the white paper with difficulty. Chang Xu asked as he wrote: "Now the whole world is looking for you, and if you leave this room, you will definitely be attacked by a group." ”

"You better take care of yourself first, and Lu's affairs won't bother the governor. Lu Yifan sneered.

"Why don't we each take a step back, I will let you leave Northern Xinjiang and promise that you will not trouble Liu Zitang again in the future, and you will not write any more confessions for me." How?" Chang Xu kept trying to find a chance to escape for himself.

Lu Yifan said: "If I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?"

"Of course I can't stop you, but don't forget that there are tens of millions of people in the north who want to hunt you down. In addition to the northern border guards of the Border Guard Mansion, there are also masters from the Northern Frontier Battalion, the major sects of the Holy Domain, and even masters from the Beast Domain. Chang Xu said cautiously, "No matter how powerful you are, there is only one person, you can treat one as ten, one as a hundred, but can you treat one as ten thousand, can you treat one as a hundred thousand? If you can, then the First Soul Sect will not be ...... in December last year."

"Bang!"

Without waiting for Chang Xu to finish speaking, Lu Yifan's fist slammed on the table, splashing out the black ink in the inkstone, so frightened that Chang Xu hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head to write about his sins.

"Bang, bang!"

Suddenly, a crisp knock on the door came, which made the three people in the room stunned at the same time, compared to Liu Tang and Lu Yifan's surprise, Chang Xu was like grasping a life-saving straw, and his eyes flashed with a flash of ecstasy.

"Who?" Liu Tang asked in a deep voice.

"Someone from the Border Guard Mansion is coming, and there is a secret report from Jinling City that wants to be handed over to the governor. Chang Wei's voice sounded outside the door. Hearing this, Chang Xu's face suddenly turned happy, and he was about to open his mouth to agree, but Lu Yifan grabbed his throat with lightning speed, making Chang Xu's throat stumble for a long time but he couldn't say half a word. Lu Yifan stared at Chang Xu like a cold blade, and said in a low voice: "I think Governor Chang Xu should know how to answer." ”

Chang Xu nodded painfully, and then after Lu Yifan's five fingers loosened slightly, he pretended to be flat...... Let the man hand over the things to Liu Tang, and Liu Tang can bring them in for me. When Liu Tang heard this, he first glanced at Lu Yifan, and then at Chang Xu, who had a painful look on his face, and finally opened the door and flashed out.

A moment later, Liu Tang walked in quickly with a secret letter in his hand. Lu Yifan glanced at the secret letter and couldn't help but ask with a puzzled face: "This doesn't seem to be a secret letter issued by the emperor, who gave you this secret letter?"

Chang Xu smiled bitterly: "This is naturally not the secret letter of His Majesty the Emperor, this is the secret letter of Lord Su Shiyuan Su." Saying that, Chang Xu also took the secret letter from Liu Tang's hand, and after glancing at Lu Yifan, who was cold-eyed, he still decided to open it in public, and after he took the secret letter and read it quickly, his originally solemn face was suddenly full of horror, and when he turned his head to look at Lu Yifan, there was also a trace of strange color in his eyes.

"What are Su Shiyuan talking to you?" Lu Yifan asked Xiang Chang Xu suspiciously, "You look at me like this, isn't the content of the letter related to me?"

Chang Xu nodded bitterly, and then he slowly raised the letter in his hand and said embarrassedly: "Master Su said in the letter...... Tell me to release a message in northern Xinjiang. ”

"What news?" Lu Yifan seemed to have a premonition in his heart, and at this moment, he had no intention of looking at the dense secret letter, but directly turned his inquiring gaze to Chang Xu, who looked strange.

"Otherwise, Sect Master Lu would ...... for himself"

"I'll let you speak. Lu Yifan bluntly refused, "What news did Su Shiyuan ask you to release in Northern Xinjiang?"

After Chang Xu glanced at Liu Tang, who was also confused, he said slowly in an embarrassed tone: "The news is Sect Master Lu's wife, Han ...... Han Ling'er is now pregnant with the flesh and blood of Lord Su's son, Su Xie...... Su Xie Gongzi will be on the first day of the seventh month...... Marry Han Ling'er in Jinling City......"

"What?" Lu Yifan's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he snatched the secret letter, and read it carefully with trembling eyes, when he finished reading the last word, his five fingers were already shaking and could no longer hold the letter, and the whole person staggered and almost fell to the ground. The look in his eyes was extremely complicated, confused, sad, angry, and incredulous...... All in all, in addition to being calm at this moment, Lu Yifan can be said to have thousands of emotions condensed in his heart, which makes him miserable and painful.

"Ling'er...... How could Ling'er be pregnant with Su Xie's child......" Lu Yifan's eyes kept asking himself in his heart, "What about our child? What the hell is going on?How could Su Xie be with Ling'er...... How did they get married? What the hell is going on with all this? On the first day of the seventh month...... The first day of July...... No, I must return to Jinling City before the first day of the seventh month, and I need to find out for myself what all this is going on?"

......

Thousands of miles away, Jinling City Han Mansion.

Su Xie sat alone in the Peach Blossom Pavilion, his eyes deep and bright, he quietly looked up at a clear sky, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a charming smile.

"Lu Yifan, you refuse to show up when you take away your power, you are indifferent to destroy your sect, you are still unmoved after killing all the disciples in your sect, I let all your friends lose everything because of you, and you can still endure it without showing up. Well, this time I'm going to target the woman you love the most and your unborn child, and I'm going to see if you can hold back? As soon as you show up in front of me, the game between you and me will be over. I said a long time ago, fight with me, you will definitely lose!"
