011 [The Tip of the Iceberg]
"Young Master!"
When Li Chengen appeared, Lu Shen was sitting by the window reading a book, and this was the third day he was locked up in the yamen of the warp weaving department.
The secret agents under Su Buqing's command will come to interrogate for most of the hour every day, maybe the face of the Xue Divine Doctor is too big, these secret agents treat Lu Shen very politely, and the content of the interrogation is also lackluster, and there are some meaningless questions over and over again.
In addition, Lu Shen's life is quite leisurely, but he can't leave this room.
Hearing the sudden sound outside, Lu Shen put down the scroll and turned his head to look, only to see Li Chengen standing outside the door, his face stained with wind and frost, and his eyes were intertwined with joy and excitement.
He got up and walked out, smiled softly as he got closer, and raised his hand to pat Li Chengen on the shoulder.
Li Chengen carefully looked at him from head to toe, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "The villain couldn't sleep at night during this time, and now it's great to see that the young master is safe and sound." ”-
Seeing his true feelings like this, Lu Shen couldn't help but feel related, but now was not the time to feel nostalgic, so he said: "Although the process is a little tortuous, fortunately, the current situation is not too bad." Come, come in and speak. ”
After the two sat down, Li Chengen said cautiously: "The young master's complexion looks fine. ”
On that day, he followed Lu Shen's order to leave with Sun Yu in advance, hid in a small town in the north, and then asked people to go back to Guangling to inquire about the situation.
Knowing that Lu Tong and the caravan returned home safely, Li Chengen was a little relieved, but Lu Shen was taken back to the Yamen of the Warp Weaving Division by Su Buqing, so he suffered a lot in the past few days.
The companion who was waiting for the news near Lu's house brought back an order yesterday, saying that Lu Shen asked him to come to the warp weaving department to meet him, and Li Chengen immediately realized that things had taken a turn for the better.
Lu Shen poured tea for him unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen the master?" ”
The two looked at each other, and Li Chengen understood that this was the territory of the Warp Weaving Division, and no one knew what kind of means those secret agents would have, and any words could be heard by the other party once they came out.
He was born in a reckless background, rich in experience, and very alert, so he immediately took over the conversation and said: "The master is in good health, but I am worried that the young master will not eat or sleep well here, so I specially asked the villain to ask the young master what he needs, and the master will let someone send it over." ”
Lu Shen raised his hand and stretched out the teacup in front of him, dipped his fingers in water to write on the table, and said a little helplessly: "Master may have forgotten, I am nineteen years old this year, enough to take care of myself, this is not the original ......"
He reminisced about the past, and five words slowly appeared on the table: The letter is still there?
Lee Seung-eun nodded in response.
When Lu Shen was writing a letter in the inn of Wuhe County, he only noticed that Ning Li, the commander of the Panlong Pass Regiment, was strange, so he recorded the details of that day and his own suspicions.
His order to Li Chengen was to try to ask Xiao Wangzhi, the governor of Huaizhou, to tell him that there was a problem within Panlong Pass.
Although he didn't have an insight into the whole picture of the conspiracy at that time, when the crisis was imminent, Lu Tong was detained in the mansion, and everything looked like the warp weaver wanted to frame the Lu family, he only hoped that this matter would arouse Xiao Wangzhi's interest.
Once the border army intervenes and Xiao Wangzhi wants to see Lu Shen and ask in person, the warp weaving department must also give in, then he will have the opportunity to see the move.
Time has passed, and now that Lu Shen has more detailed information, the next thing to do is not only to arouse Xiao Wangzhi's interest, but to give the other party a gift.
Li Chengen did the same, and wrote on the table: Then?
Lu Shen replied: You go to Anfu to ask for Xiao Wangzhi, and tell him that Ning Li has colluded with Beiyan to make a detailed work, and there must be changes in Panlong Pass recently. In addition, the warp weaving division cannot be trusted.
Lee Seung-eun continued to ask: If he doesn't believe it?
Lu Shen wrote: Give him the letter, and then ask him to check the movements of Panlongguan. If the defenders have recently made a resolution related to the Northern Yan, it may be a conspiracy of the Northern Yan.
Li Chengen's heart was awe-inspiring, and then he rose with a strong respect, and asked again: Can you tell the master about this?
Lu Shen hesitated slightly, and finally replied in Li Chengen's expectant gaze: Yes.
The two of them kept moving in their hands, and their mouths kept talking about old things, most of which were anecdotes about Lu Shen's youth.
In the room next to this wing, two Xuanyi people sat opposite each other, one of them put his ear to the listening urn, and couldn't help frowning and whispering: "It's all rambling nonsense." ”
The companion was about to ask, but his expression suddenly changed slightly: "Wait a minute. ”
In the wing, Lu Shen took a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on the tabletop, and finally got to the point: "The Su inspection school of the Warp Weaving Division is a clean and upright person, and his eyes are like torches, and he has already seen the strangeness of this matter. You hand over Sun Yu to the Warp Weaving Division, and the matter can be concluded after the Su Inspection School finds out the reason. ”
Li Chengen got up and responded, "Yes, young master." ”
Before leaving, he said earnestly: "Please take care of yourself young master and cherish it." ”
Lu Shen bowed his head and said, "Okay." ”
After a while, Su Buqing received a detailed report from Xuanyi's subordinates, and muttered: "You go in person, take someone to arrest Sun Yu, and no matter what method you use, you must find out the identities of those who coerced him." According to the previous number of roads, the hidden pseudo-swallow was forced out. ”
The subordinate took the order and left.
Su Buqing's young face appeared in Lu Shen's mind, and he couldn't help muttering, "It's a talent." ”
……
The dawn clouds open, the spring is as expected, and the showers are still clear.
After several days of continuous spring rain, the sky takes on a clear blue color, and the air in the city seems to become extraordinarily fresh, and the streets and alleys are bustling and lively again.
In the afternoon, the Huayue Building in Xicheng ushered in a slightly tired old customer.
This person was Gu Yong, the warp weaver inspector, who went straight to the quiet and deserted second floor, and took a seat in the familiar window position, while the two henchmen sat at the table near the entrance of the stairs as usual.
Founded more than 10 years ago, this restaurant is not among the top in Guangling City, but it is quite famous for a specialty dish "five-flavor apricot cheese goose", and the cost here is not cheap.
Although Gu Yong is only a prosecutor, he will not be short of money if he can mix an official and a half-position in the warp weaving department. He doesn't have a hobby of looking for flowers and asking willows, and in his free time, he will come to Huayuelou to order a few dishes, and pour himself drinks and chat for entertainment.
The shopkeeper and the guys here all know him, and he doesn't need to ask to know how to arrange it.
After about a stick of incense, a man approached with a tray, and there was the five-flavored apricot cheese goose on it.
Gu Yong said in a low voice: "There is no letter in the Lu family's caravan, and Lu Shen did not flee in a panic, your plan is like a joke." ”
The guy calmly helped him with the dishes, and said slowly: "I also opposed it at that time, because if there are too many links in a conspiracy, it means that the risk will increase greatly, and any problem in any link will lead to the loss of previous efforts." However...... From above, it seems that the Lu family does not have the ability to turn the situation around. ”
Gu Yong sighed lightly when he heard this.
The guy continued: "According to the original assumption, Lu Shen is young and immature, and he must have had palpitations after being beaten in Panlong Pass. The little guy named Sun Yu added fuel to the fire, and Lu Shen should choose to abscond. At this time, you appear to wrap up and find a secret letter from the caravan, and the Lu family will no longer be able to clear the suspicion. ”
Gu Yong frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to tell me this, the problem now is that all the plans are messed up." ”
The guy poured him wine and said softly: "It's indeed a bit chaotic, but it's not to the point of self-chaos, the Lu family is just an introduction, and we don't care about their life and death." Now I want to confirm above, what does Su Buqing think about this case? ”
Gu Yong groaned: "He asked me to take full responsibility for this case and continue to investigate the Lu family thoroughly." I know that he has someone on my side, so I've been checking carefully these days to avoid arousing his suspicions. It's just that he didn't allow me to use means against the Lu family's father and son, so I froze here. ”
The guy thought for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, the above chose to frame the Lu family, not only to attract the attention of Su Buqing and Huaizhou officials to Guangling Mansion, but also to have a deeper intention. ”
Gu Yong's heart was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head.
The guy nodded and said: "The relationship between Lu Tong and Xue Huaiyi is not hidden deep enough, it was originally expected that after you crucified the Lu family, Xue Huaiyi would definitely come forward to speak for the Lu family." Su Buqing will not offend Xue Huaiyi when there is no evidence, but as long as the evidence is conclusive, he will definitely not give up. ”
Gu Yong had already reacted at this moment and muttered: "In other words, plotting for the border pass is only part of the plan, and we want to use this incident to provoke a conflict between Su Buqing and Xue Huaiyi, and then trigger a battle in the center of the Southern Dynasty?" ”
Xue Huaiyi is the real name of that Xue Shen Doctor, although he himself is only famous for his medical skills, but his nephew Xue Nanting is the right minister of the Southern Qi Dynasty.
As a privileged yamen directly under the Son of Heaven, the Weaving Department has always been outside the imperial court system, but it has great authority, and the civil official group headed by the left and right ministers has naturally been disgusted for a long time.
It's just that Southern Qi has to face strong pressure from the north in recent years, and the Son of Heaven has restrained the Warp Weaving Division, so they can generally be safe.
If Xue Huaiyi, the Huaizhou Division under the command of Su Buqing, is offended to the end this time, the impact of this lawsuit will inevitably spread to the Southern Qi court.
Gu Yong unconsciously became short of breath, because he had already thought of the next move, but in this way, there would inevitably be many immeasurable changes......
The guy said slowly: "You have been following Su Buqing for seven years, and today it is time to make a decision. To pull Xue Huaiyi into the water, he must do something to the Lu family. ”
Gu Yong said: "Su Buqing is very cautious, and I always feel that it is a little strange for him to put Lu Tong back. Forcibly tortured Lu Shen at this time, I was worried that Su Buqing would notice clues. ”
The guy packed up the tray and left the last sentence: "You don't have to do things to the end, you can save Lu Shen's life." As long as he becomes a waste, Lu Tong will inevitably go crazy, and Xue Huaiyi will not be able to stay out of it. As for Su Buqing, you are a loyal person who is sympathetic to Shangguan, if he doesn't protect you, how can he lead thousands of secret agents in Huaizhou? ”
Gu Yong raised his eyebrows and looked out the window, taking in the scenery of half of the city.
He picked up the wine cup and drank all the wine in the cup, a fierce killing intent appeared on his face.
