Wang Yi carried the lantern and walked to the exit with Liu Qian. Liu Qian borrowed the lantern and looked at the ground, those dark red bluestone slabs, smelling a little bloody, he knew that these dark red bluestone slabs were all made of blood flowing onto them and eroding.

Most of the bloodstains left here were the relatives of the royal family in Luoyang, and the rebellion of the prince involved as many as thousands of people.

Liu Qing looked at these bluestone slabs and sighed slightly, after a few days, he didn't know that there would be a few more people's blood here.

Walking out of the edict, Wang Yi returned with Liu Qian the same way, and Lu Zhong was sitting on a chair, waiting for Liu Qian to come out. Wang Yi blew out the lantern in his hand, put it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, welcome to come again next time." ”

Liu Qian said angrily: "Lord Lu, your subordinate is sneering at the old man all the way, you don't care?"

Lu Zhong asked rhetorically, "Who heard it? I didn't hear it." ”

Liu Qian was amused by Lu Zhong's helplessness, this is also the good relationship between Jinyiwei and Liu Qian, if it was someone else, Liu Qian would not be so easy to speak, do you really think that Liu Qian, as His Majesty's henchman, is the head of the Ming Dynasty, and he eats dry rice?

Lu Zhong waved his hand, Wang Yi saw this, nodded, and walked out of the gate of the edict with the brocade guards beside him and guarded outside.

Lu Zhong glanced around and made sure that the people of the Jinyi Guard had walked out, and then said, "Lord Liu, what did the three princes say this time, but what did they ask?"

Liu Qian sat on the chair and sighed slightly, "It's all inconsequential things, you can say that you haven't asked anything." ”

Lu Zhong believed what Liu Qian said, after all, the six thousand people deceived Lu Zhong for a reason, because Lu Zhong was also a candidate appointed by the emperor to investigate the case, and he had the right to know if there was something.

"Then it's not easy for you to go back to the palace this time. ”

"Who said it wasn't, this time when I returned to the palace, it was not easy for Your Majesty to say. ”

Lu Zhong looked at Liu Qian, and then thought that the person he sent to the palace to investigate the palace maid had not returned, and he was also a little worried, now the only clue to the whole matter is the identity of the palace maid, if this clue is broken, then there is no way to investigate this matter, and then I don't know what kind of turmoil will be formed in the court, and the emperor doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Why don't I go to the palace first, and after I get any clues, you can ask again?"

Liu Qian nodded, it had to be like this, this is also a way to do it.

"Shall I send Master Liu out?"

Lu Zhong got up and was about to send Liu Qian away, but Liu Qian refused.

"No, I'm going to go to the Wei Mansion in a while. ”

Lu Zhong's expression was solemn and full of respect, "Your Majesty has made an order?"

Liu Qian touched the yellow holy decree in his sleeve, and nodded his support, "The decree is given, the hereditary reckon, coupled with Wuzhong's nickname, the old prince is worth leaving." ”

Lu Zhong shook his head, "It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, as soon as the old prince leaves, it will be worth it for the descendants of the Wei Mansion, but it will be a big loss for the Ming Dynasty, after all, there are not many people left who participated in the Spring and Autumn War." ”

Liu Qian slowly got up, put his hands behind his back, and walked with Lu Zhong to the outside of the edict prison, "It's not much, except for those remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Liang, King Cheng, and Guan Tiannan, all of whom are dead." ”

"King Liang is also soon, if there is no this

matter, the imperial court investigated his holy decree and entered Liangzhou long ago. ”

Liu Qian shook his head, as if he had thought of something, and asked: "For so many years, the three states in the north, Liangzhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou seem to be very good at reading. There are two in Qingzhou, Zhang Juzheng, Yao Xianxian, and Youzhou is even more miserable, Yan Song was taken under the command of King Yan, and Wang Yi didn't even enter the academy, so he was accepted by you in Jinyiwei, and after all, there was no scholar in Liangzhou. ”

Lu Zhong twisted the long hair on his sideburns and said with a smile: "Yes, it's just that he was suppressed by His Majesty intentionally or unintentionally." ”

Liu Qian frowned, the old grudge between the first emperor and the king of Liang seems to be uneliminated, the first emperor has been dead for a long time, and the emperor is still suppressing the scholars from Liangzhou.

Above the court, they are suppressing the scholars of Youzhou. There was a Zhang Juzheng in Qingzhou, Yao Xianxian, who barely recovered a little.

Liu Qian knew why, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was close to the south, and most of the north was the territory of the Spring and Autumn Period, and those people above the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to accept the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period, which was reasonable.

Even people from Xishu who come to Chang'an City are more popular than people from the three states in the north.

Liu Qian seemed to think of something, and asked Lu Zhong, "Your Majesty's holy decree has arrived in Liangzhou?"

Lu Zhong shook his head, "I just sent Lord Yushi Taiyan this morning, and Gonggong Liu, the inner chamberlain, to Liangzhou, and it would be good to be able to reach Tingzhou now." ”

Liu Qian stood behind the gate of the Imperial Prison and looked at Lu Zhong, "I just don't know how the King of Liang, who has no children and no daughters under his knees, feels." ”

Lu Zhong retorted: "Didn't he have a righteous son, known as the white-clothed soldier saint, who fought several big battles with Northern Qi in the north, and won all of them. ”

Liu Qian suddenly realized, "A few years ago, there was a few news coming back from the north, there was a young general in white who killed three generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty one after another, and the angry Northern Qi sent countless masters to assassinate him, but they all returned in vain, it turned out to be him." What do you know?"

Lu Zhong smiled, "Lord Liu, this is testing Jinyiwei's intelligence system? It is said that it is called Zhao An." ”

Liu Qian was a little puzzled, "Why is it still said?"

Lu Zhong spread his hands and said helplessly: "You think those people under Liangzhou are vegetarians, and it would be very good for Jinyiwei to know this, what else do you want." ”

Liu Qian pushed open the gate of the edict, the sunlight shining in from outside was a little dazzling, Liu Qian subconsciously raised his hand to cover the sun, and looked outside through the gap between his fingers, the sun had just risen.

"The old man is gone, he is very busy today, he has been to the Wei Mansion in a while, and he has to go to the imperial city to return to His Majesty, if Lord Lu is in the palace at that time, then we will see you there." ”

Lu Zhong hugged his fists and sent him off, "Master Liu walks slowly." ”

Liu Qian put his hands behind his back and left Jinyiwei.

Wang Yi looked at Liu Qian's departing back, approached Lu Zhong a little, and asked, "Lord Lu, what is Liu Shangshu here for?"

Lu Zhong slapped Wang Yi on the back of the head, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go and call Li Yuan, the Jinyi guard on this side of Meridian Lane is temporarily managed by him and Lao Wu, who only came back yesterday, you and I will go to the imperial city together." ”

"Old Wu, go to the Imperial City?"

Wang Yi was very confused, when did Jinyi have an extra old Wu, listening to the words

Is there not Ma Shun and Zhou Liyuan on the side of the imperial city, and Lu Zhong will take him to do it.

However, doubts are doubts, Wang Yi still honestly went to Li Yuan's room to wake him up. Lu Zhong waved his hand, and all the Jinyi guards guarding outside the door poured into the edict prison and tried their best to guard here. Lu Zhong is not afraid that someone will come to rob the prison, and he is worried about who to find to investigate the poisoning matter.

Liu Qian sat in a carriage and left Meridian Lane under the escort of Jinyiwei and rushed to the Mansion of the Duke of Wei. And Lu Zhong pushed open the door of your Jinyiwei and stood at the entrance of Meridian Lane, looking coldly at the faces gathered in Meridian Lane.

"It's boring. ”

Lu Zhong couldn't help but think of such a word in his heart, even if you gather more people to come to Meridian Lane, what if there is a person who dares to step into the Jinyiwei courtyard.

Countless spies and family members have been sent out by you, whether they are really worried about the safety of your master, or do you want to get the news as soon as possible, so that they can go back to prepare for the funeral.

Wang Yi walked out with a large number of brocade guards, and saw Lu Zhong standing there, not knowing what to think. Wang Yi had no choice but to step forward and wanted to ask Lu Zhong when he would go to the imperial city, but before Wang Yi could say anything, Lu Zhong waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go." ”

Jin Yiwei and his entourage, mighty and mighty, went to the imperial city.

The spies in Meridian Lane left like rain and split into two ways. went all the way to the mansions of each family, reported the matter to the master, and all the way, followed the Jinyiwei people closely, as for the Jinyiwei who were hundreds of feet away, they didn't dare to take another step forward.

Walking into the imperial city, most of the Jinyi guards stayed in the outer city, Lu Zhong only took a dozen Jinyi guards into the inner city of the imperial city, all of them are the emperor's daughters, no one can enter here except the emperor on weekdays, today it is the emperor who handed over the token to Lu Zhong, plus His Majesty's edict, Lu Zhong can enter here.

Walking into the inner city of the imperial city, although the whole imperial city is hung with red lanterns and the word Fu can be seen everywhere, but after experiencing last night's events, the aura of slaughter fills the inner city, which makes people a little depressed and breathless.

Without saying a word, Wang Yi followed behind Lu Zhong and walked towards a very ordinary-looking palace, with the surrounding Imperial Forest Army following them, both for protection and surveillance.

But not long after walking, Lu Zhong saw a woman in Tsing Yi standing in the corridor of the palace not far away, standing on tiptoe, holding on to the white marble railing, looking this way, looking like a woman waiting for the arrival of her sweetheart.

Lu Zhong smiled and stopped, and the people behind him naturally stopped. Everyone was very strange and a little puzzled, why Lu Zhong stopped. Lu Zhong first came to Wang Yi's side and pointed to the woman in Tsing Yi standing in the corridor, and then smiled, left Wang Yi's side, hugged a small commander of the Royal Forest Army, chatted while walking, and then turned around and made a look at the Jinyi Guard, the Jinyi Guard looked at Wang Yi, and then looked at the woman in Tsing Yi, and instantly understood, learning from Lu Zhong's appearance, one by one the people holding the Royal Forest Army, shouting one by one, talking about where the wine is delicious, where the meat is delicious, and it was almost kowtow at that time.

Wang Yi looked at the practices of the Jinyiwei brothers around him, and he couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't live up to their kindness.

Wang Yi landed on the ground with one foot, then jumped up with his strength, came to the railing, and looked at the woman with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
