The sun sets slowly in the remnants of the clouds on the horizon, and the sky takes on a brilliant blue.

Thousands of rays of light filled the world, dyeing all the pavilions and pavilions of the government with a faint halo.

After Lu Shen came out of the side hall, the two spies took him to the southeast corner, and the destination was a temporarily idle courtyard, where Lu Tong was imprisoned.

There is a word called hometown timidity, Lu Shen's hometown is in an unreachable world, but at this moment, a similar feeling swelled in his heart.

This journey from Beiyan to Southern Qi, especially after entering from Panlong Pass, can be described as treacherous and frightening.

Lu Shen carefully touched the outline of this world, and at the same time dealt with all kinds of characters, and he could probably deal with it.

It's just that Li Chengen, Song Yi and others didn't find out that Lu Shen didn't talk about things related to Lu Tong in depth from beginning to end, but would avoid such topics without a trace.

The reason is naturally very simple, for a mature man who is at the age of mental age, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt to the fact that there is an extra father out of thin air.

It's not that Lu Shen is too hypocritical, but the father-son relationship in this era is completely different from his previous life, the word filial piety means absolute obedience, it means that you can't be disobedient, it means that you can beat and scold at every turn, and it means that the father can even decide the life and death of his son......

Although it can be seen from Li Chengen's words that Lu Tong loves his only son very much, this is only Li Chengen's perspective, and it is difficult to determine the facts.

With quite complicated feelings, Lu Shen stepped into this small courtyard, and the two secret agents continued to protect or guard the father and son inside together with their companions who were originally guarding the gate of the courtyard.

The first thing that caught Lu Shen's eyes was a slightly rich figure, although he was in his forties, he had no twilight at all, coupled with a fat face and a brand-new brocade robe, he had a very standard image of a rich man.

This person is Lu Tong, a wealthy businessman in Guangling, who is Lu Shen's biological father.

"Shen'er!" Lu Tong's voice was full of surprise, and he quickly stepped forward to grab Lu Shen's wrist, looked him carefully from top to bottom, and then smiled so much that there was only a slit left in his eyes: "It's good to come back, it's okay." When I received an urgent report from Song Yi that day for my father, I almost didn't get angry, thinking that if you have three long and two short, how can my father have the face to see your mother in the future. ”

Lu Shen didn't break free of his hand, and said with a slight low brow: "I'm worried about you." ”

Lu Tong took his wrist and walked towards the hall, and said as he walked: "What is this called, don't learn from those old masters outside, our family doesn't like this." ”

A strange but warm feeling surged up in Lu Shen's heart.

The small courtyard is actually a bit cramped, the area of the hall is very small, and the furnishings in the house are also very simple.

Lu Shen remembered that his servant's residence was similar to here, and as for his courtyard in the mansion, it was like a cloud and mud compared to what he was looking at.

Lu Tong had a temperament of being at ease with what he encountered, he beckoned Lu Shen to sit down at the ordinary table of eight immortals, and then poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and said kindly: "This place can't be compared with home, don't care too much." In fact, Lord Fuzun wanted me to wait in the flower hall, but the warp weaving department was not kind this time, so I politely declined Fuzun's kindness. Although it is simple, it is better to stay in the prison cell of the warp weaver. ”

Lu Shen was in a lot of confusion, and he didn't know when to start for a while.

Seeing this, Lu Tong smiled and said, "Is that Master Su difficult for you?" ”

Lu Shen shook his head and hesitated, "You don't seem to be worried at all?" ”

Lu Tong said calmly: "The Lu family is innocent, why worry? ”

Lu Shen was slightly stunned.

This makes sense, but the problem is that the world in which the two live seems to be less reasonable.

The word innocence is certainly precious, but in the eyes of some powerful people, it is easy to destroy a person's innocence.

If you can walk the world calmly if you admit your innocence, how can there be so many grievances throughout the ages.

It's just that Lu Tong can spell out a great business in the soft red, and he is definitely not such a simple person.

He continued: "Father knows that you have a lot to say, so don't worry, say it one by one. Also, the people outside can't hear us. ”

Lu Shen nodded, starting from his sudden infection in Beiyan Tieshan City, and told some of the strange things that happened along the way.

The more Lu Tong listened, the more surprised he became, and in the end, the look of appreciation on his face could no longer be concealed.

He sighed rather fearfully: "I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns during the period, fortunately, you are alert enough, otherwise the Lu family will probably be planted in other people's calculations this time." ”

Lu Shen skipped this section and said puzzledly: "I don't know something in my heart, that Lord Su is quite restrained, is it because he cares about the friendship between Fuzun and the Lu family?" ”

Lu Tong clasped his hands in his sleeves, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "No." If the level of the lord is higher than that of the warp weaving department, after all, our Guangling is a first-class house. But you may not know the transcendent status of the Weaving Division in the court, this yamen has always only followed the will of the Son of Heaven, and officials below the fourth rank can be judged first and then played. ”

He paused for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, before you came back, my father felt that he was being targeted by the people of the warp weaving department, so he specially went to visit an old friend in the city and asked him to take care of it. Although the father didn't know the intentions of the warp weaving department, the Lu family was standing firmly, as long as the other party didn't use those cruel methods, it didn't hurt to follow the normal procedures for investigating the case. ”

These words answered the doubts in Lu Shen's heart, he really didn't understand why Su Buqing used such a troublesome method of inducing confessions, and he didn't have the ruthlessness that a privileged yamen should have.

It's just that he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't be sure for a while, so he simply continued to ask, "Who is your old friend?" ”

Lu Tong replied: "He has never been an official, he is famous for his medical skills, and everyone calls him Doctor Xue." When the old capital had not yet fallen, he was a guest of honor in the mansions of many powerful people, and his fame even overshadowed that of the imperial physician in the palace. ”

Lu Shen said: "To make the warp weaving department so jealous, I think this Xue Shen Doctor must be extraordinary." ”

Lu Tong bowed his head and said, "You guessed right. Although Doctor Xue himself has never been an official, his own nephew is the right minister. Su Buqing could not take the Guangling Prefect seriously, but he did not dare to ignore Doctor Xue's perception. My father has some friendship with Doctor Xue, but I haven't told you before. ”

I see.

It is no wonder that Su Buqing chose the location of the interrogation in the government office, although this is a little noisy, which makes the face of the prefect Zhan Hui not look good, but it is already a compromise after weighing.

Lu Shen was finally relieved, and immediately took the initiative to admit frankly: "After that serious illness, I can't remember a lot of things. ”

Lu Tong was stunned and asked nervously: "The letter sent back by Song Yi said that you are already well, didn't he tell the truth?" ”

Lu Shen explained: "Except for this one, there are no other problems, you don't have to worry. ”

Lu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It doesn't matter if you can't think of it, what do you want to know about asking your father." Your illness is too strange for your father to be relieved of. After this matter is over, ask Doctor Xue for your father to carefully diagnose you. ”

The meaning of the poor son is overflowing.

Lu Shen couldn't help but be a little touched, in just over twenty days, he was used to seeing ghosts and ghosts, and the middle-aged man in front of him allowed him to finally put aside those intrigues for the time being.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then Su Buqing's figure appeared in the small courtyard.

Lu Tong hurriedly got up to salute and asked, "Master Su, I don't know if this misunderstanding has been clarified?" ”

Su Buqing glanced at Lu Shen, who looked calm next to him, and said lightly: "Although it hasn't been completely investigated, Lu Yuanwai can go back with the caravan in the house." The official reminded Lu Yuanwai that he should stay in the house for a while and not go out, nor do he secretly collude with others, and the Warp Weaving Division will send someone to guard the left side of the Lu house, and do not make a mistake that the official will misunderstand. ”

Lu Tong originally responded with a smile, but soon his face changed, and he said, "What does Lord Su mean, the dog still has to stay here?" ”

Su Buqing said: "It's not here, the official wants to take him to the Guangling Yamen of the Warp Weaving Division." ”

Lu Tong immediately stood in front of Lu Shen, his eyes flashed with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Su, don't deceive people too much!" ”

Su Buqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lu Tong has always behaved very humblely, and he did not resist knowing that Zhan Hui had another deep meaning in forcing him to stay in the palace, which is in line with his identity from any point of view - a cautious and gentle businessman who seeks wealth.

But now he suddenly hardened.

Lu Tong didn't have the heart to argue with the other party, and said bluntly: "Master Su, Lu knows the weight of the responsibility of the Warp Weaving Department, so he doesn't dare to hide anything, and he has been trying his best to cooperate with you in investigating the case from beginning to end." The Lu family has never done anything to collaborate with the enemy, and today everything is framed by others, if Lord Su is indiscriminate, even if Lu scatters all his family wealth and fights to death, he will tell the heavens about this matter! ”

Su Buqing said indifferently: "Lu Shen is now related to Beiyan's crime, so the official naturally wants to keep him for further questioning." Outside of Lu Yuan, although Doctor Xue has a big face, he can only limit this matter to a certain range, so as not to make everyone know. If you don't know what to do and interfere with the warp weaving department's case, don't blame the official for being ruthless. ”

Lu Tong's face turned red, and his body trembled uncontrollably because of anger.

"Father."

Lu Shen's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Lu Tong turned his head to look at it, only to see his son holding his arm, and said calmly: "The warp weaving department has its own regulations for handling cases, so my father doesn't have to worry." Although it is difficult to understand black and white many times in this world, I believe that there is always a word for justice. ”

Lu Tong looked at him steadily, and after a long time, he said with a complicated expression: "Okay." ”

Su Buqing watched indifferently, and his evaluation of Lu Shen was a few points higher in his heart.

It is rare to have such a calm and rational mind at such a young age.
