"For more than ten years, you should be the first person to live so comfortably and leisurely in the yamen of the warp weaving department."

Su Buqing's words are not an exaggeration, after all, now Lu Shen's range of activities has expanded several times from the wing.

Although no matter where he goes, he is surrounded by the masters arranged by Su Buqing, at least his personal freedom is not too seriously imprisoned.

The furnishings in the wing room have also been replaced, as well as dozens of various books and new daily necessities sent by Lu Tong.

Of course, in order to make Su Buqing accommodating, Lu Tong dotted the Guangling Yamen of the Warp Weaving Division from top to bottom, and spent a lot of silver - for the Lu family, which has an extremely thick family, these silver are insignificant, and Lu Tong even wanted to send two maids to Lu Shen to serve him, but in the end, Lu Shen took the initiative to refuse.

He was afraid that Su Buqing would be annoyed, the Warp Weaving Department was a spy yamen, not a Qinglou Flower Pavilion.

Su Buqing has rarely come over in the past few days, and now Gu Yong's identity has aroused his suspicions, and Sun Yu has also been handed over to him, and the two lines are secretly being traced.

With Su Buqing's power, he could easily take down Gu Yong directly, but what he wanted was obviously more than that.

Through these two lines, find out the deeply hidden traitor, and then dig out as much as possible Beiyan's fine work, this is the judgment that a spy leader should have.

"Your Excellency, please be seated."

Lu Shen smiled and walked to the table to pour tea for him.

Su Buqing glanced at the neatly placed scrolls on the big desk by the window, picked up the top one casually, and opened it to see the traces of Lu Shen's reading.

He didn't leave annotations on it, just simply underlined some of the sentences.

Su Buqing's gaze stayed on one of the sentences, and read: "The war has been in turmoil for a long time, the people have abandoned the cultivators, the people are hungry inside and outside, the people cannibalize each other, and the roads are cut off......"

He closed the pages of the book, and on the cover was the word "Book of Chen".

"You like to read history?" He asked, turning his head.

Lu Shen looked left and right and said to him: "Now the novels on the market are all talented and beautiful, and it is inevitable that it will be boring to read too much, or these books can pass the time better." ”

Su Buqing smiled slightly, put the scroll back, then walked to the table and sat down, and said leisurely: "Although your Lu family is a family of merchants, Ling Zun's expectations for you should be very high. In fact, it's not bad to look at these history books, at least you can know the immortal achievements of Emperor Taizu of Great Qi back then. ”

Lu Shen agrees with this sentence.

Two hundred years ago, the world was in turmoil, warlords were divided, and killing was continuous.

Sixty years of darkness and nine thousand miles of life have been lost.

One short-lived dynasty after another rotated like a marquee, the Later Han, the Later Liang, the Southern Chen, the Later Jin, the Later Zhou, etc., no more than thirty or forty years, and six or seven years short.

The "Book of Chen" picked up by Su Buqing is a record of the nineteen-year short-lived national glory of Nan Chen.

Until Emperor Taizu Li Zhongjing of the Great Qi Dynasty was born, swept away the world's heroes and Yuyu clarified, more than 140 years ago to set the capital of Heluo, and spent more than ten years to completely exterminate the separatist forces in the south and north of the world, and returned the people to a stable world.

More than 100 years of vicissitudes of life, the stars have changed, and the once romantic currents have been blown away by the rain and wind, and there is a trend of chaos in the world.

Su Buqing seemed to feel something, and sighed: "If it weren't for that accident back then, maybe the situation wouldn't be as difficult." ”

Lu Shen subconsciously thought that he was referring to the fall of Heluo in the eleventh year of Yuankang, but in fact, this was also a question he was very confused about.

Thirteen years ago, although the Great Qi was suffering from internal and external troubles, the people's livelihood withered, but it still had enough foundation and the support of scholars, otherwise Li Duan, the seventh son of the emperor, would not be able to ascend the throne as the emperor in the Jiangnan unified forces.

Although Lu Shen didn't know much about history, he also knew that a similar huge dynasty could hold out for at least a few decades, so why did the emperor die after the fall of the capital?

He asked puzzledly: "Master Su, is the Jing Dynasty's military strength really so strong, and Heluo City has no power to defend the city?" ”

Su Buqing took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The destruction of the city in the eleventh year of Yuankang is just the result, and the changes in the past four years are the cause. ”

Lu Shen said respectfully: "Please give me advice." ”

Su Buqing said: "In the seventh year of Yuankang, the three northern kingdoms broke through the Jinghe defense line and came to the city of Luocheng for the first time. At that time, they were able to do this, not because of the disparity in armament between the two sides, but because Yang Guangyuan, the commander of the Jinghe defense line, was imprisoned and beheaded, and the morale of the border army was demoralized and had no intention of fighting. After the Northern Coalition surrounded Heluo, the first emperor made some puzzling responses. ”

He paused slightly, and then pondered: "The first emperor may be too anxious, in order to solve the danger of the capital as soon as possible, he ceded several important towns in the north, and under the persecution of the Jing Dynasty, the soldiers of King Qin sent by the seven departments of Shazhou were buried. All these things will lead to the evil consequences four years later. ”

Lu Shen frowned slightly, and said softly: "That is to say, four years later, the army of the Jing Dynasty will be like entering a no-man's land, and it will surround Heluo again in a very short time, but this time the army of King Qin will definitely have a lot of concerns, and no one wants to become the second Shazhou Seventh Division." ”

"Don't talk about these old things."

Su Buqing obviously didn't want to talk too deeply about this topic, and changed the conversation and said, "You don't seem to be in a hurry about your current situation at all. ”

"The younger generation believes that the adults will soon be able to return the Lu family's innocence." Lu Shen slapped a sycophant, and seeing that the other party was unmoved, he asked tentatively: "Could it be that the progress of the Warp Weaving Division is not going well?" ”

Su Buqing said: "My people have noticed some flaws in Gu Yong, but it doesn't seem to be enough at the moment, and it is very unwise to startle the snake." Although he is not of high grade, he is one of my very capable subordinates, and he is very familiar with the style of the warp weaving department, and he can also be called cautious, so he can only slowly figure it out. ”

He looked at Lu Shen thoughtfully, and continued: "As for that Sun Yu, the warp weaver used a little means to pour beans into a bamboo tube and confessed to everything, the problem is that he is only the executor at the bottom of this conspiracy, and he has always been looking for him by pseudo-Yan Xizuo, and he has no way to take the initiative to contact the other party. Although the Warp Weaver Division has painted portraits based on his descriptions, and has placed manpower on the roads out of the city, there are hundreds of thousands of residents in Guangling, and it is not so easy to find those fine works. ”

Lu Shen said quietly: "But the adults must have a way to deal with it." ”

Su Buqing smiled and asked, "What do you think I should do?" ”

This sentence has the meaning of taking the school examination, although Lu Shen didn't know the true intentions of the other party, he didn't blindly hide it, and said calmly: "In the opinion of the younger generation, maybe you can put Sun Yu in the light." After all, Pseudo-Yan was not sure how many secrets he knew, and the best way to eliminate the hidden danger was to make him a dead man. For adults, the last thing they want to see now should be a pool of stagnant water, as long as the other party makes a move, the means of the warp weaving division can naturally be pursued all the way. ”

"Bait? Not bad. ”

Su Buqing nodded in approval, and said: "But when I came to you today, it has nothing to do with this matter, but I have a few things in my heart that I don't understand." ”

Lu Shen said calmly: "My lord, please speak." ”

Su Buqing raised his eyebrows and said: "Can you think of hiding Sun Yu, this is indeed a good move, at least you can make yourself less passive." It's just that I'm more curious, what evidence does Gu Yong want to find from the Lu family's caravan? When did this evidence of the sham be hidden in the caravan? Where has it gone now? ”

These three questions are not so easy to answer.

It is true that Lu Shen has always been wary of Su Buqing, how could the other party believe him unreservedly?

Lu Shen didn't think much about it, and said calmly: "The evidence is hidden in the carriage compartment of the junior, it is a secret letter written by the pseudo-Yan and carried the official document seal of the pseudo-Yan Prosecutor's Office, and the junior destroyed it after discovering it. ”

Su Buqing looked at him steadily, and muttered, "If I remember correctly, you said on the day you first met that the caravan had been searched by the defenders when it passed through Panlong Pass. So, the defenders didn't find the secret letter? ”

Lu Shenmian said without changing his face: "Yes." ”

Su Buqing bowed slightly, did not continue to ask, and said in a slow tone: "I will let people take Sun Yu to Lu Zhai to swagger through the market, it shouldn't take too long to return your freedom." ”

Lu Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

At this moment, a man in Xuanyi walked in, came to the front and said, "My lord." ”

Su Buqing glanced at Lu Shen and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

The Xuanyi man was silent.

Su Buqing said: "Just say it." ”

Xuanyi said: "My lord, there is news from the Yamen of Taixing Mansion that Zhang Xi's case has been discovered, and one of his former generals committed suicide inexplicably. I suspect that there may have been an omission in the original investigation, so please come and preside over it in person. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Su Buqing raised his hand and tapped on the table, and after a moment, he smiled: "It seems that you have not only thought of how to use bait. ”

Lu Shen quickly understood the deep meaning of the other party's words.

Now in Guangling, Su Buqing is in charge of the overall situation, as long as he is here for a day, those enemies hiding in the shadows can only passively take over. If you want to change this situation and turn passive into active, you must let Su Buqing leave temporarily, and then all walks of life can act calmly.

Lu Shen nodded and said, "This is their method in the same vein. ”

Whether it is to divert the gaze or to turn the tiger away from the mountain, it will be lost in craftsmanship after all.

Su Buqing got up and said, "That's fine, I'm afraid that they will hold their breath until the earth is desolate." ”

Seeing this, Lu Shen stood up and saluted, "Congratulations to my lord." ”

Before leaving, Su Buqing turned his head and said: "If you contribute to the warp weaving department, I will ensure that you are thorough, and you can rest assured." ”

Lu Shen bowed and said, "Thank you, for taking care of you." ”

Su Buqing smiled, left Lu Shen's residence, and then summoned the middle-level officials who stayed in Guangling, briefly explained the situation in Taixing Mansion, and decided to personally take a part of the people to go, and leave the matter to Gu Yong to continue to investigate suspicious people related to the Lu family.

On March 21, Su Buqing left Guangling.

Gu Yong was sent all the way outside the east gate, and when he turned around, he looked at the clear sky, his eyes were obscure.
