"We have been investigating for a long time, and we can't escape the evidence that Wang Shangshu pointed to, and there must be new clues to find out this case, so we can't follow behind to pick up people's teeth, right?"

Wang Shouren also nodded: "What the middle brother said won my heart, and I also felt this way, but I didn't have a clue for a while, and I don't know where to start." ”

The two were eating, when they suddenly heard a slap on the table from next door and shouted: "Okay! Now that Wang Shangshu has personally faced, he has finally pulled this Lu Yun thief down! ”

Another light voice came: "Brother Zhang, Your Majesty has arranged for two imperial historians to investigate this case, and they have not yet been convicted!" ”

"Humph! What else do you need to look for? That Lu Yun thief deceived Shengcong and caused chaos in the dynasty, and everyone should be punished! ”

"What Brother Zhang said is reasonable! If the imperial history finds out that there is something untrue, it can be seen that the imperial history is also his accomplice, and our gentlemen will personally go to the noon gate to avenge Jinglong's grievances! ”

Wang and Yan here heard it clearly, glanced at each other, and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

And at this time, in the palace.

Wei Cheng thought about it, but he still felt uneasy in his heart.

Especially after hearing from Liu Jin that Yun Qing, who was related to the case, was a disciple of Dr. Cui who had saved him, he hurried to the Forbidden City despite the fact that it was dark.

"Brother Huang!"

These days, Wei Cheng often comes to the Qianqing Palace, and he is already familiar with the way.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhu Houzhao eating, with dozens of plates on the table, which were filled with gold cups and tooth chopsticks, jade plates, and delicacies, which were extremely attractive under the candlelight.

"Cheng'er is here! Give a seat, let's eat together! Zhu Houzhao beckoned the eunuch to bring the embroidered stool and put it beside him.

Wei Cheng didn't have this thought: "Don't bother, Cheng'er has already eaten." ”

Zhu Houzhao put down his chopsticks: "Since Cheng'er is not here to eat, there must be something to say, right?" ”

"Exactly."

Wei Cheng sat down on the embroidered stool: "Brother Huang, do you really think that Lord Lu has anything to do with the death of the first emperor?" ”

When he asked this, Zhu Houzhao didn't answer, but just asked: "Who told you this?" ”

"Lord Lu has only been in the capital for half a year since Yu County, right? He was single-handedly promoted by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks, and the emperor even ordered him a small general to patrol the forbidden palace at the critical juncture when the two dragons alternated, what kind of trust is this? Wei Cheng continued.

"And to say that Lord Lu knows Dr. Cui, it is even more nonsense to say that he is related to Gao Tinghe! Dr. Cui did save Sister Yin'er, but when Cheng'er was chased and killed by Uncle Guo and was seriously injured, it was also Dr. Cui who saved me.

Dr. Cui has both virtue and skill, he is already famous in the capital, and the number of people who have received his favor is inexhaustible, and among the neighbors, there must be many people who are willing to help Yunqing, is it also related to Gao Tinghe's scheme? ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while before he spoke:

"I know that Lu Yun may be innocent, but now that there is a lot of discussion in the court, I have to find some evidence to block everyone's mouth!"

Wei Cheng stood up and turned around twice: "Brother Huang, then Zhao Er only said that he saw that person that day, but what if that person was not Yun Qing?" ”

"That's right! If that person is not Yun Qing, then won't this case be solved? Zhu Houzhao stood up and shouted to the eunuchs: "Quickly pass my order, let the commander of the Jinyi Guard come to see me!" ”

As soon as the little yellow gate of the message came out of the palace gate, he met Mu Bin, who was dressed neatly, outside the door.

"Dare to ask, but Commander Mu is in front of him?" Xiao Huangmen gave a light salute.

Mu Bin replied: "Exactly." ”

"Great, our family is going to find you by the Holy Order, please come with us!"

Back to the Qianqing Palace, the small yellow door entered the inside.

"Xuanmu commands the envoy to meet you!"

Only then did Mu Bin enter the temple and perform a pilgrimage. Since ascending the throne, Mu Bin and Zhu Houzhao have only met a few times at the court meeting, and basically have not said anything.

In the past, although Zhu Houzhao often heard that "Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the emperor's eagle dogs", it is probably the first time that he really wants to use the large force of Jinyiwei.

Let him see if the emperor's hound is qualified.

"Commander Mu is flat."

Zhu Houzhao looked him up and down a few times before he wondered about Xiao Huangmen: "Why did you come back so quickly?" ”

"Back to Long Live Lord, as soon as the little slave arrived at the gate of the palace, he met Commander Mu." Xiao Huangmen bowed and said.

"Oh?"

Zhu Houzhao turned to Mu Bin: "Commander Mu wants to enter the palace?" But what is it? ”

Mu Bin approached and took out a thin bamboo tube from his sleeve: "The lowly subordinates got the news from the exile road, and the lowly ones thought that this matter might be related to the case that His Majesty wanted to investigate, so they came to pay tribute." ”

The bamboo tube was presented in front of him, and Zhu Houzhao didn't know how to open it for a while, and almost bit it in his mouth, but it was only unscrewed at Mu Bin's signal.

took out the note inside, unfolded it and took a closer look, Zhu Houzhao's brows suddenly furrowed.

Wei Cheng hurriedly asked, "Brother Huang, how is it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao casually handed the note to Wei Cheng, and Mu Bin jumped out of the corner of his eyes.

"According to the official who escorted the exiles, Yun Qing has indeed escaped, and another old man named Liu Wenrui has also escaped, this person is the brother of Liu Wentai, who was sentenced by the original court, and is being pursued by a wide notice."

Wei Cheng looked at it, only to feel a little dazed in his heart, and the note in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

"Could it be that the person in the prison is really Yun Qing? Could it be that Lord Lu really saved a fugitive? But Dr. Cui saved my life and saved Sister Yin'er...... Do they really deserve to die? ”

"Cheng'er!!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted, waking up Wei Cheng, who was muttering to himself: "You are too young to understand this." You don't have to meddle in this matter, my brother will take care of it, so you can go back to sleep. ”

After letting the eunuch take Wei Cheng away, Zhu Houzhao looked at Mu Bin at the bottom of the stairs.

Mu Bin immediately lowered his head: "I didn't hear anything." ”

Zhu Houzhao's face darkened: "You know, what does this news mean?" ”

"Humble await the Holy Judge."

"This shows that Lu Yun may be the same as Wang Qiong said, and he really has some private dealings with Gao Tinghe!"

A big doubt appeared in Mu Bin's small eyes: "...... Yes? ”

"Oh, you're stupid! The one in prison is Yun Qing, which means that Lu Yun saved Yun Qing, why did he save a fugitive? It must be because he has a relationship with Gao Tinghe! I can't even figure this out, are you qualified to be my eagle dog? ”

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands on his hips angrily, shook his head and sighed: "It's in vain that I trust him so much, what a traitor!" ”

"......" Mu Bin pinched his hand in his sleeve, and the pain convinced him that he was not dreaming.

How is the brain circuit of this new emperor different from what Mu Bin envisioned?

Isn't he really going to save his own pro-army commander?

Could it be that what Mu Bin thought before was wrong, Zhu Houzhao didn't treat Lu Yun as his own at all?

Commander Mu hurriedly settled down, he came to meet the saint this time, of course, not for Yun Qing's news, but for that Liu Wenrui.

"Your Majesty, I have come here to ask for instructions, do you want to send Jinyi Wei to arrest the fugitive Liu Wenrui?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand casually: "Whatever you want." ”

"Obedience."

……

In the dead of night, the palace lights swayed gently.

Lu Qi was holding the chess pieces, and suddenly there was a hurried knock at the door of the hall, and the little eunuch who was on duty with Gu Dayong shouted softly outside the door: "Father-in-law Gu come out quickly, long live the master!" ”

"Huh? Oops! Let Banzai see me guarding like this, can you eat a board? ”

Gu Dayong jumped up from the chair, hurriedly kicked his boots up to his feet, straightened his hat on the one hand, tied his belt on the other, and ran out with his belt.

As soon as Lu Qi stood up, he heard Gu Dayong's voice from the courtyard: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

"Shut up! I am private, Hugh will shout too loudly, if others hear, it will reach the ears of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and I will carefully peel off your skin! ”

Zhu Houzhao pushed the door in, followed only by a small eunuch with a lantern.

Lu Qi stepped forward and saluted: "The last general will see Your Majesty!" ”

"Hmm."

Unusually, Zhu Houzhao did not rush to help Lu Qi up, but waved off the eunuch, picked up a chess piece by himself, and looked at it carefully.

"Lu Yun, are you guilty?"
