The eastern suburbs of Beijing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info Taibao Lu Gongyi Mansion.

Since the last time Zhu Dingbang, the Duke of Baoguo, came to Lu Gongyi's mansion to discuss matters, Zhu Dingbang and Zeng Pu simply lived here. The three elders are all people who don't need to go to court, and they get together every day, in addition to chatting, they always pay attention to the movements of Liu Yunfeng and others.

At this moment, Zhu Dingbang was walking around frantically, and he didn't know how many chairs he had kicked over, and he kept shouting and scolding: "Traitor! Dog thief! Daring! Heartbroken! Tragedy through the ages!"

Although Taifu Zeng Pu did not pound the table and kick the chair like Zhu Dingbang, he also turned around anxiously.

Only Taibao Lu was more calm and sat on the chair. However, looking at the slight trembling appearance of his body, you can know that he is also angry.

The old housekeeper of the Lu Mansion looked at the appearance of the three of them and shouted worriedly: "Grandpa Guo!

Hearing this, Lu Gongyi took a breath lightly and said, "Brother Zhu, junior brother, sit down first, and let's have a good discussion." ”

Zhu Dingbang stood up and said angrily: "What else is there to discuss?!" The old man will go back to the house, order the generals, and cut down the traitor of Qin Mu first!"

Zeng Pu was also anxious, but when he heard Zhu Dingbang's words, he immediately stood up, and also helped Lu Gongyi to persuade Zhu Dingbang with kind words. He and Lu Gongyi both knew that if this old man Zhu went crazy, he might really be able to do something to storm Qin Mu's mansion.

Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu persuaded for a while, Zhu Dingbang finally settled down a little, sat on the chair with a huff, clicked, and almost collapsed the chair.

Lu Gongyi saw that Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang had both sat down, and said loudly: "Brother Zhu, junior brother, this incident in Xiangyang is a little troublesome. ”

Zeng Pu knew that this was not the time to be angry, and he was worried that Zhu Dingbang would be angry again, so he hurriedly answered: "Brother Zhu, senior brother, it's better to go to meet the saint together early tomorrow morning and say hello first." ”

Lu Gongyi said: "It is necessary to go to see the saint. However, we have to sum it up first, and think about it, what kind of reaction the prime minister and the Taishi and others, as well as the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, will have after receiving the news. ”

Zhu Dingbang said angrily: "What can the traitor and the old man do? Tomorrow, if the two of them dare to be crooked, the old man will give up this prince and beat him up in the Jinluan Palace!"

Lu Gongyi knew that Zhu Dingbang's words were angry, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Zhu, you dissipate your anger first." It is important to discuss countermeasures. ”

Zeng Puwei thought for a moment and said: "I'm worried that the traitor will be charged with killing the envoys of the Northern Dynasty to Jian'er and Yan'er." If this crime is arrested, it will be difficult to handle the rest of the matter. ”

Talking about his two grandchildren, Zhu Dingbang was no longer angry, and said in a deep voice: "Jian'er and Yan'er killed the third prince of the Northern Dynasty on the street in full view of everyone. This is something that countless people have seen. I can't rely on it. ”

Lu Gongyi groaned slightly and said, "Not necessarily. ”

Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang heard Lu Gongyi's words and looked at him in unison.

Lu Gongyi thought for a moment and said, "It's true that Jian'er and Yan'er killed the third prince of the northerners. However, if it can be proved that these northerners are not envoys, and our dynasty is at war with the northerners, Jian'er and Yan'er not only have no fault in killing the northerners, but they have merit. ”

When Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time.

Zeng Pu slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, no matter if any foreign country comes to the court, he must first write from the Ministry of Rites." The Ministry of Rites kept a record of all the writings concerning the arrival of the Gentiles. If it can be proved that the Ministry of Rites does not have a written record of these northerners coming, the identity of these northerners' envoys will be self-defeating. ”

Lu Gongyi said: "Without further ado. In order to prevent the night from being done or kicked, we need to immediately send someone to the Ministry of Rites to wait. As soon as the Ministry of Rites of Tomorrow started to run errands, they immediately went to find the records of the comings of these northerners. ”

After that, Lu Gongyi asked the old butler to come forward and whispered a few words to the old butler. The old housekeeper nodded, and was about to go out to make arrangements, when Zhu Dingbang tore off a dark red jade pendant from his body, handed it to the old housekeeper, and said, "The gate of the Jingshi has long been closed now, and it is not easy to enter and exit. This jade pendant once helped the old man block it. The general guarding the West Gate was surnamed Gong, and after he was the old man's general, he knew the old man's jade pendant. You have someone call from the west gate, show him this jade pendant, and he will let him into the city. ”

After the old housekeeper turned out to be a jade pendant, Zhu Dingbang said again: "You sent someone to my mansion and told the second lady that this matter is extremely important to Jian'er and Yan'er, and let her also send her henchmen to wait at the entrance of the ceremonial department overnight." As soon as the Ministry of Rites opened the door tomorrow, he immediately rushed in to find the written record. Don't let people do things in secret. ”

The old housekeeper was just about to start, and Zhu Dingbang said again: "Tell the second lady again, don't let the eldest lady know about this matter." Let her tell the people in the house, especially the people around the eldest lady, that no one should talk about Xiangyang to the eldest lady. If anyone tells the eldest lady to know, the old man will not be able to spare him. ”

When Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu heard this, they sighed in unison. His brothers and sisters knew that Zhu Dingbang's original wife was also the daughter of Jiangmen, and even went into battle with Zhu Dingbang to kill the enemy. When I was young, I danced with guns and sticks a lot, but when I got old, I was left with a lot of pain. Moreover, this eldest lady attaches great importance to the lineage of the Zhu family. If she knew that Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan had an accident in Xiangyang, she didn't know what would go wrong.

When the old housekeeper left, Lu Gongyi said again: "This is one thing. Moreover, the Beiren, the Legalists, the Mojia, the Miscellaneous Family, the Southern Shaolin and the Fan Monks all appeared in Xiangyang City, and even the heavy-armored Mo Sword Team, which had never been seen in the standard army of this dynasty, also appeared, which was obviously premeditated. We can try to manipulate this matter and amplify the flavor of intrigue in this matter. Once everyone believes that this matter is a conspiracy, Jian'er and Yan'er will be much less guilty of killing the northerners. ”

Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang heard Lu Gongyi say this again, and their hearts were even more settled.

Zhu Dingbang nodded and said, "Brother Lu, this is a good idea. If it weren't for the conspiracy that had been set up in advance, how could there be such a coincidence? As soon as Jian'er and Yan'er killed the northerners, these hidden monsters that they couldn't see on weekdays all jumped out?"

Zeng Pu continued: "This matter must be a conspiracy. Brother Zhu and Senior Brother still remember that in the past two days, we were still talking about how we couldn't receive the news from Jian'er and Yan'er at all. The first conflict between Jian'er and Yan'er and the northerners was when the northerners shot the teleportation falcon in Brother Zhu's mansion. And the northerners' flying eagles were also shot dead by the hatred of the seven hatreds. In the past few days, it must have been the northerners who blocked the sky above Jian'er and Yan'er's heads with flying eagles, preventing Jian'er and Yan'er from exchanging news with us. ”

Zhu Dingbang stood up from his chair and said, "Yes! I, the people of the Central Plains, are the people who have their hearts in the Central Plains after all. Since the northerners blocked the news of Jian'er and Yan'er for two days with flying eagles, they had obviously been ambushed around Jian'er and Yan'er for a long time. The one who colluded with them and provided them with cover must be that frenzied dog officer!"

Lu Gongyi nodded and said, "Besides, if these northerners really came to negotiate peace, even if they set out from the Taiyuan army and traveled thousands of miles to Xiangyang, it would be impossible for no one to know about it. The whereabouts of these northerners are secretive, and they suddenly appeared in Xiangyang, and we can also make a fuss about this matter. ”

The three of them were talking, and suddenly a loud shout came from outside the house: "Who?!"

Hearing the shouts, Lu Gongyi, Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang's figures moved at the same time, and swept outside the house almost at the same time. The three of them stood up, and the head of the nursing home hurriedly stepped forward with a small paper scroll in his hand, and presented it to Lu Gongyi with both hands.

Lu Gongyi asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

The head of the nursing home said in a low voice: "Master, the little one is on guard, and someone suddenly punches this small paper roll in his hand. The little one was ashamed that he didn't see any figures, and he didn't even hear a voice. ”

Lu Gongyi frowned, waved his hand, signaled the head of the nursing home to step down, and then walked back to the house with Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang.

Walking back to the house, Lu Gongyi opened the paper scroll and looked at it, his face changed, and he swept out of the house again, wanting to shout, but he stopped shouting, and just looked at the night sky from afar. When Lu Gongyi walked back into the house, Zeng Pu and Zhu Dingbang saw that Lu Gongyi's eyes were full of tears.

Zeng Pu was shocked: "Senior brother, what's the matter?"

Lu Gongyi handed the paper roll to Zeng Pu, Zeng Pu looked at it, his face became more powerful than Lu Gongyi, and he swept out of the house, and was about to shout loudly, but Lu Gongyi had already swept to his side, and shouted in a low voice: "Senior brother!"

Zeng Pu froze, closed his mouth, looked at the night sky, and returned to the house, his face full of tears.

Seeing that the two of them were like this one after another, Zhu Dingbang asked in a low voice, "Senior Dong?!"

Lu Gongyi nodded and said, "It's Master!"

Zhu Dingbang exclaimed: "Senior Dong is in Beijing?!"

Lu Gongyi nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Shizun is a divine dragon outside the sky, and my senior brothers and sisters don't know the immortal traces of his old man. Since his old man is here, why don't he want to meet my senior brother and sister? Could it be that my senior brother and sister have disappointed his old man?" Speaking of this, Lu Gongyi choked up.

Zhu Dingbang had never seen Lu Gongyi's gaffe to this point, and for a while, he didn't know what to say. On the other side, Zeng Pu couldn't cry either.

Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu choked up for a while, and when their emotions calmed down a little, Zeng Pu handed the paper scroll in his hand to Zhu Dingbang. Zhu Dingbang unfolded it and took a look, and there were two lines of words written on the scroll: "The identity of the third prince of the Northern Dynasty is suspicious." He has sent his junior disciples to investigate. ”

Zhu Dingbang thought for a moment and exclaimed: "That prince of the Northern Dynasty is fake?!"

Lu Gongyi had already settled down, nodded, and said, "The three of us are all concerned about chaos, only thinking about guessing the intentions of these northerners, but not thinking about this aspect. According to the description in the news, the third prince of the Northern Dynasty was repelled by Yan'er in a flash, and then killed by Jian'er's halberd. According to the information carefully made by our Beidi, the third prince of the Northern Dynasty is deeply valued by the Northern Lord and is a brave man. If it weren't for his mother's bad background, he might have been chosen by the North Lord as the successor. If it were him, he wouldn't have been so bad. ”

Zhu Dingbang slammed his right fist into his left hand and said, "Yes! This person must be a fake." Otherwise, the north lord had just lost the little prince, and he would definitely be reluctant to send his third prince to the Central Plains as bait to send him to death, leading Jian'er to fall into the scheme. The old man Dong was really like a torch, and from such subtleties, he could judge that the identity of the third prince of the northerners was suspicious. ”

After that, Zhu Dingbang got up from his chair, turned around excitedly, and kept saying: "That's good! This is good! If it can be proved that the third prince of the Northern Dynasty is fake, everything will be easy! As long as this can be proved, not only will Jian'er and Yan'er not be guilty of killing the northerners, but even they and Liu Yunfeng and others will not be counted as guilty of killing the officials and soldiers. ”

Zeng Pu said with some concern: "According to what the master said, he has asked the junior brother to go and verify. If the three princes of the Northern Dynasty are true or false, then the little prince of the northerners is newly mourned, and the real third prince is likely to be designated by the northern lord as the new successor. Before the matter is settled, the third prince will definitely hide first. Moreover, there must be heavy guards around this person to prevent leakage of news. This little junior brother didn't know who it was and whether he could do it. ”

In Lu Gongyi's life, the most convincing person is his master. Hearing Zeng Pu say this, Lu Gongyi said: "Senior brother doesn't have to worry. The master acts with dignity and never neglects. Since the master asked the junior brother to do this, the junior brother will definitely be able to do it. ”

After that, Lu Gongyi's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "Then what did Meng Wuji get, so that he could actually attract the northerners to venture to come and set up a bureau in Xiangyang?"

Zhu Dingbang and Zeng Pu glanced at each other, and both had a terrible guess in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
