Chapter 1015: Cabinet Inquiries
On the day of Chen Zihua's death, Jinyiwei began an intensive search, but did not get any good news.
And just when there was a rumor in Beijing, the people of the Chen family in the clouds also arrived in the capital, so on this day, Lu Hanjiang received a notice from the cabinet and asked him to enter the palace.
With a calm mood, Lu Hanjiang took Ying Wuxian and walked into the palace of the cabinet together, and then when he looked up, he saw several special guys, these people were not wearing official uniforms, they were of different ages, and there was even a familiar face among them.
Lu Hanjiang took back his steps in surprise, he looked up at the plaque in front of the temple, and looked at it twice in a row before Shi Shiran walked into the hall.
"This is where the Cabinet deems meeting, right?" Lu Hanjiang looked at Wei Ge, the first assistant of the cabinet, who had a stiff face and an unnatural expression.
The cabinet lords also reacted at this moment, and they were a little embarrassed by Lu Hanjiang's words.
The imperial court has suppressed the family for many years, and the two parties are not said to be the same as fire and water, but they are also different furnaces of ice and charcoal, but when the matter comes, people can still appear in the important place of the cabinet in the open and honest manner, which is indeed a bit of a slap in the face.
"This is the Commander of the Army."
The old strange old man in the hall spoke first: "Your Excellency doesn't need to point to Sang and scold Huai here, the old man has heard of your reputation, and when I saw it today, it was really like a rumor." ”
"Oh? I don't know what it is like a rumor? Lu Hanjiang asked with a smile.
The old man didn't answer, but said lightly: "Old man Chen Nuo, there are a few words I want to ask Lord Lu." ”
It's not a trick - Lu Hanjiang said in his heart, then pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "It's really rude, no wonder, I'm getting older, maybe my ears are not very good." ”
As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes with Ying Wuxian behind him, and the two of them laughed in a low voice.
"Rude!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and behind the old man, a young man sharply accused: "The elder has a question, you just need to answer truthfully, Lord Lu is also from a family, is he so ignorant of the rules!" ”
This shouting question was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, even Wei Ge Lao's brows were tightly locked, Ying Wuxian raised his eyebrows coldly, and he was about to step forward when he squinted, but was stopped by Lu Hanjiang.
"Who is this?" Lu Hanjiang raised his hand and pointed at him, his posture lazy, as if the latter's angry eyes were not in his eyes at all.
The old man Chen Nuo only raised his hand at this time, and said to the young man behind him: "Before the cabinet, you must not be rude, and you should not retreat quickly." ”
"Yes, grandson is rude." The young man glared at Lu Hanjiang and retreated unwillingly.
Chen Nuo said again: "Lord Lu, the old man heard that on the day of your appointment with Zihua in Yanchun Building, it seems that he arrived a little later than the agreed time, I don't know why?" ”
Lu Hanjiang raised his head, thought about it carefully, and then said seriously: "It's nothing, it's just oversleeping." ”
These words made the young man's face even more resentful, and the old man Chen Nuo also frowned slightly, and he asked again: "The old man also heard that Zihua had agreed with the adults to meet more than ten days ago, and it was set at the Thousand Crane Tower, but is there such a thing?" ”
"That's the thing." Lu Hanjiang nodded.
So Chen Nuo continued to ask: "In that case, why did Lord Lu break the appointment in the Thousand Crane Tower, and then re-make the appointment of Yanchun Tower?" ”
Lu Hanjiang clasped his hands, tried to recall, and then replied honestly: "It seems that there is no reason, the official was too lazy to go out that day, so he sent someone to inform the Chen family master to reschedule, is there anything wrong with this." ”
Chen Nuo said lightly: "The old man asked questions repeatedly, and Lord Lu talked about him left and right, so it is difficult to be convincing in this way." ”
"Presumptuous!" Ying Wuxian couldn't help but stand up and snort coldly: "Lord Lu is the commander of the Jinyi Guard appointed by the imperial court, what is he going to do, where is your turn to be an outsider here to talk nonsense!" ”
It's a pity that Ying Wuxian said it righteously, but Chen Nuo was not moved at all, he only asked: "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
Ying Wuxian said coldly: "This official brocade clothes and thousands of households, there should be no death." ”
Chen Nuo's raised eyes slowly lowered again, and his calm gaze did not have a trace of waves, this disdainful posture made Ying Wuxian feel humiliated.
And at this time, the young man finally couldn't hold back his anger, and said gloomily: "Hmph, with the power of Jinyiwei in Beijing, it is not difficult to kill one or two people, and it is not difficult to do it seamlessly, I think Lord Lu is reluctant to tell the truth, because he is afraid of revealing his stuffing!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly became quiet, and it was almost audible, and Chen Nuo did not stop the young people as if he was forward, and Lu Hanjiang did not realize it until this moment, revealing a sudden expression.
"Oh? When the people of the Chen clan in the clouds speak like this, do they think that this official is behind this matter? Lu Hanjiang pretended to be surprised.
"Isn't it?" The young man sneered, Chen Nuo was also indifferent at this moment, and his eyes were quietly staring at Lu Hanjiang.
Being stared at by the Chen family, Lu Hanjiang suddenly laughed, he paced to the position and sat down, raised his hand to gently support his chin, and said with interest: "Lord Wei, this official has something unclear, please solve your doubts." ”
Lu Hanjiang's eyes looked at the Chen family, but the words were for Wei Ge Lao, and he said: "Dare to ask Ge Lao, what is the crime of slandering the court officials with false words?" ”
Everyone was stunned, Chen Nuo's eyes were slightly downcast, and Wei Ge Lao's eyes were becoming more and more profound, his face was calm, as if he felt embarrassed, and slowly said: "According to the law, accusing court officials without a certificate should be punished with a rod fifty." ”
"Pavilion Elder !" Several adults exclaimed in a low voice, and as soon as Lord Wei said this, he undoubtedly chose to lean his position on Lu Hanjiang's side.
In fact, they have no other choice, as ministers of the imperial court, they themselves have a bad impression of the family, and the other party's attitude is so arrogant today, everyone in the cabinet has long been dissatisfied.
Now that Lord Lu is unwilling to bow his head, then Lord Wei is just pushing the boat down the river and saying "fair words", which is naturally nothing.
"You dare!" The young man glared angrily, and he had no fear.
Lu Hanjiang clapped his hands: "Thank you Wei Ge for speaking up, since the rules have been set a long time ago, let's do it, Ying Qianhu." ”
"Commanded by humility."
Ying Wuxian, who had already been angry, strode forward with a sly smile, and the young man was just about to speak, but the arm that Lord Qianhu raised when he flew up and broke it, and then smashed the other party's heart with one hand, covered the other party's mouth with the other, and directly pressed him to the ground.
The shot between the shocking Hongs made everyone's breathing a little heavier, Chen Nuo's eyes were deep, but he never spoke, Ying Wuxian lit the young man's acupoint, and was about to make a move, but he heard Lu Hanjiang shout to stop.
"Ying Qianhu, slow down."
In front of everyone's gaze, Lu Hanjiang raised his hand and pointed outside the door: "The cabinet is a heavy place, and it cannot be dragged out for execution." ”
"Humble duty understands."
Ying Wuxian dragged the young man away like a dead dog, until the last moment when he was dragged out of the door, the old man Chen Nuo didn't say a word, he just watched Lu Hanjiang silently.
And the young man, who finally found that there was no one to save him, also showed panicked eyes when he was dragged out of the door.
