Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 327 Marry if you save, don't marry if you don't save!
On the day Lu Ziyi and Liu Han were taken away, Emperor Longde immediately arranged for the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Qi Huai'en, the former left servant of the Ministry of War, to interrogate them respectively.

Qi Huaien arraigned Liu Han first.

Liu Han didn't have much experience in the world, and under the protection of the Jiang family, he didn't know the dangers of people's hearts. After being arrested, he was worried and helpless.Faced with Qi Huai'en's amiable inquiry, he quickly let go of his defenses.He also thinks he has a clear conscience, so Qi Huai'en will honestly say whatever he asks.

On the interrogation record, Qi Huai'en asked Liu Han three times in total: "Has Princess Zhuzhu offered you the examination papers and answer sheets for the previous years' scientific examinations?"

Liu Han replied: "Yes, my cousin gave Mr. Lu those examination papers and answer sheets first, and Mr. Lu copied them to me."

After Qi Huaien asked Liu Han to be charged with a smile on his face, he then interrogated Lu Ziyi.

He knew that Lu Ziyi was no better than Liu Han, so after going around asking many ordinary and simple questions, he finally turned to the main topic and asked the same question.

The first time Lu Ziyi didn't notice, she said yes.When Qi Huaien asked again for the second time, Lu Ziyi faintly felt that something was wrong, and said: "Yes, but I asked Zhuzhu to find it."

Qi Huaien smiled meaningfully, "Lu Ziyi, the princess said that she found it for you on her own initiative, but you said that you asked her to find it. It's hard for me to think too much about your inconsistent confessions. "

"Zhuzhu was arrested? Why?" Lu Ziyi was taken aback.

"It's not being arrested, it's just assisting in the investigation." Qi Huai'en said: "Not only the princess, but also all the relatives and friends of the students suspected of cheating in the scientific examination, the official will send people down to find out the situation. I will try my best to ensure that no one is arrested or let go Over one person!"

Lu Ziyi was silent. He didn't know whether Qi Huai'en was as fair to others as he said, but the fact that Qi Huai'en participated in Xiao Yichen back then was known throughout the capital.

In the following few years, the Qi family and the government of Zhen Guo have never been at odds, but the fifth prince who has passed away is young, and there have always been two, three, four, three princes standing at the same time before the court, so the two families have not had any conflicts on the surface. Many disputes.

But the absence of disputes does not mean that the two families have no grievances.After the fourth prince and the second prince fell one after another, Qi Huai'en's eagerness to win over the court ministers showed his ambition.

Now that the fifth prince is dead, the future Tianwu will most likely belong to the third prince. If Qi Huai'en does not want to be liquidated by the third prince and the government of Zhen Guo in the future, he will definitely try his best to deal with the third prince and the town when the current emperor is in power. Duke's Mansion!

"My brothers and sisters Zhuzhu and I have a deep affection, and we share the same mind. I asked her to find it, and she took the initiative to find it, there is no difference between us."

Qi Huaien's smile gradually faded, and his tone was no longer friendly, but became extremely coercive, "Lu Ziyi, now it is related to the cheating case in the scientific examination, the emperor attaches great importance to it! Please cooperate and don't say anything ambiguous!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Lu Ziyi: "If you don't believe me, I have a way for you to verify the truth of what I said."

Qi Huaien couldn't help leaning forward, "What way?"

"Invite Zhuzhu to confront me face to face!"

The smile on Qi Huai'en's face disappeared in an instant. He said just now that he would send someone to investigate, and Lu Xinyan had already testified, but he was just defrauding Lu Ziyi. He didn't expect that Lu Ziyi would not be fooled!

"Don't eat and drink a toast!"

"Come on, let's go to prison!"

In the end, Lu Ziyi still insisted that she begged Lu Xinyan to find those examination papers and answer sheets.

So Qi Huaien only truthfully recorded Lu Ziyi's first and second answers in the review records.

Because both Lu Ziyi's and Jiang Han's confessions contained Lu Xinyan's name.Qi Huaien reported to Emperor Longde that he suspected that the examination papers and answer sheets of this scientific examination were hidden among the examination papers and answer sheets of the previous scientific examinations provided by Lu Xinyan to the two.

Emperor Longde believed it, that's why Lu Xinyan was locked up early in the morning.

And at noon today, when Qingtong and Baizhi came to visit Lu Xinyan, Qi Huaien sent people to search Ankangbo Mansion and Zhen Guogong Mansion.

In the study rooms of Lu Ziyi and Liu Han respectively, they searched out the examination papers and answer sheets of the scientific examinations of the past dynasties.

It has been confirmed that there are indeed examination papers and answer sheets for this scientific examination inside.

This matter quickly spread throughout the capital.

Emperor Longde was furious when he found out, and immediately sent people to surround the two mansions. Before the truth was found out, no one in the two mansions was allowed to enter or leave, waiting to be punished.

Ah Zhu, who has been following this matter for a long time, couldn't sit still for a moment after hearing the news, and ran to Wu Rui again, "Daddy! When will you rescue sister out!?"

If he had seen Ah Zhu's behavior without the slightest dignity, Wu Rui would have been furious.

But it was rare for Wu Rui not to lose his temper at this moment, the expression in his eyes was difficult to distinguish, "Since you have heard the news, you should know that the evidence is solid now, how can I save your father?"

"I don't care! Anyway, you have to rescue my sister! Otherwise, I will never end with you!"

Ah Zhu yelled with her neck stuck, if he didn't know the seriousness, would he come to him?
It was because he knew the seriousness of the matter that he rushed to urge him!

On the surface, Ah Zhu seems to be making trouble out of no reason, but in fact it is her recognition of Wu Rui's ability!In Ah Zhu's heart, there is probably nothing Wu Rui can't do!

Except for his mother Lin Ruyue!
Wu Rui said directly: "The evidence is solid, I can do nothing about this matter."

Ah Zhu's complexion changed, she grew so big, he had never heard the word powerless from Wu Rui's mouth.

"Can't you ask Uncle Huang?"

"Can't!"

"If you don't ask, then I will ask Uncle Huang myself!"

Ah Zhu was about to run away, but Wu Rui's deep, cold and firm voice came from behind him: "Come here, take care of the son! Without my king's order, he is not allowed to leave the room for half a step! If there is any violation, please raise your head." Come and see!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The two guards appeared in front of Ah Zhu, they were not the ones who pretended to be when Wu Rui was so angry that he told Ah Zhu to go away, but they had solemn faces and coldness all over their bodies.

Azhu wanted to run away, but the two couldn't help but support him, one on the left and one on the right, and sent him to his own room.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Ah Zhu screamed all the way, punched and kicked each other, unable to shake the slightest.

At the end of the next morning, Wu Rui, who had never made a sound, suddenly stepped out, "I want to report to the emperor, I heard about the cheating case in the scientific examination, and Lord Qi has found conclusive evidence yesterday. For the sake of Tianwu's century-old foundation, I beg the emperor to immediately Strictly examine the principal culprit who bought test papers privately!"

Strictly interrogating the principal culprit who bought the test papers privately, isn't that to severely interrogate Lu Xinyan?But Lu Xinyan is pregnant with a child, once the trial is severe, the child in her womb
The ministers didn't understand why Wu Rui targeted the government of Zhen Guo. Before Wu Rui went to Beizhou, he had a good relationship with the government of Zhen Guo. He even asked someone to heal Xiao Yan's leg. How could that be?
The brains of some active ministers turned quickly.

Now only the third prince and the infant twelfth prince are left in the palace, and the strongest supporter of the third prince is the Zhen Guo Gongfu.If something happens to the government of Zhen Guo, it means that the power of the third prince is weakened, and who will benefit the most at that time?
Emperor Longde's body is getting worse day by day, but Wu Rui, who is a few years younger than him, is as vigorous as before.More than ten years of training in Beizhou has cultivated Wu Rui's indestructible royal temperament.Standing with Emperor Longde, he is not inferior at all, and even faintly surpasses him.

Wu Rui 18 years ago was dismissive of the throne, but who knows what Wu Rui is thinking 18 years later?

Those who supported Wu Rui in the first place were silent at the moment, and those who supported Wu Sheng naturally could not agree to Wu Rui's proposal.

"Your Majesty, Prince Xiao is fighting the enemy bravely on the front line, exalting my power of heaven and martial arts. The princess is pregnant with the young prince of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. If there is a strict trial, if the little prince in the womb makes a mistake, not only the Duke of Zhen and Xiao will be disappointed. The heart of the prince will chill the hearts of thousands of soldiers in the world! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Wu Ruidao: "The Duke of Zhen's government has received the emperor's favor so much that it is what he is supposed to do! The Lord Zhuzhu took advantage of the emperor's favor to buy examination papers privately for personal gain. Cheating and disturbing the imperial court! At least it will chill the hearts of the students all over the world, and at worst it will destroy my century-old foundation of Tianwu!"

"Concubine Xiao Guifei just passed away yesterday. The third prince went to the other palace overnight to guard the spirit. Duke Zhen lost his sister, and Prince Xiao lost his aunt. For the sake of Concubine Xiao Gui's kindness to the royal family, we should give her face and protect her. Live in the blood of the Xiao family!"

The two parties were at odds for a while, and Wu Rui demanded a strict trial, otherwise it would be difficult for the court to rectify!Those who support the Third Prince think that the court is more important than the hearts of the people, especially the morale of the army!

From the beginning to the end, Emperor Longde's expression was always unpredictable, and the majestic dragon eyes were so deep that no one could see the slightest thought.

His eyes wandered on Wu Rui for a while, and examined the third prince and his party for a while.

On the surface, it seems that the waves in those eyes are calm, but in fact, there are already undercurrents surging.

In the end, Emperor Longde ordered: "Qi Aiqing, Lu Xinyan will be interrogated today, no torture will be used!"

This result, which combines the wishes of the two parties, can be judged, but it cannot be strictly judged.

If there is no strict trial and no punishment, it means that the child in Lu Xinyan's womb will not be in danger for the time being.

Qi Huaien said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Rui lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in them, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this world, no one knows his imperial brother, Emperor Longde better than him.

Because they are brothers who grew up together!
Eighteen years ago, when they were still princes, even though he had repeatedly stated that he was not interested in the throne, Emperor Longde still tried many times overtly and secretly.

Later, his father passed away, and he heard that the former prince was going to force the palace, so he hurried back to the capital from Jianglin to support Emperor Longde's ascension to the throne.

When the court situation was not stable, Emperor Longde trusted him very much, and the two worked together to stabilize the Tianwu court in just one year.

But soon, Emperor Longde became suspicious again.Wu Rui knew that he would not end well if he stayed in the capital, so he volunteered to go to Beizhou.

After returning to Beijing this time, Wu Rui originally planned to visit his old friend Xiao Yan when he was recovering from his injuries, but that day Emperor Longde said "This country belongs to our two brothers", which made him immediately dismiss this idea.

Because the more Emperor Longde said he didn't care, the more he cared in his heart.

He cared that he came to the capital privately without an imperial order, and cared that he made great contributions to Tianwu.

So regarding Lu Xinyan's matter, if he did what A Zhu said and pleaded with Emperor Longde in private, Emperor Longde would definitely suspect that he had already colluded with the Zhen Guo government.

If he was standing on the side of the Duke of Zhenguo, that is, the third prince, that is to say, more than half of the entire Tianwu court already belonged to the third prince Wu Sheng.

This is unacceptable to Emperor Longde who values ​​power as much as his life!

Conversely, if Wu Rui stood opposite the Duke of Zhen's mansion, making Emperor Longde think that he had something on his mind, Emperor Longde would instead consider whether he should deal with the Duke of Zhen's mansion in such a hurry!

If Emperor Longde wanted to keep the Duke of Zhen to keep Wu Rui in check, he wouldn't move Lu Xinyan so quickly!
Wu Rui made the right bet, while secretly heaving a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his imperial brother is even more ruthless than when he first ascended the throne!

-

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the dark sky blocked the bright moonlight, making people feel heavy.

Outside the Duke's Mansion where the Imperial Forest Army was stationed, two black shadows avoided the sight of the Imperial Forest Army, and under the cover of night, they leaped into the Duke's Mansion like birds.

Almost everyone in the Yuexin Courtyard has fallen asleep, only the lights in the Shuyun House are still on.

When she was sitting on the edge of the bed drowsy, she suddenly felt that the window was blown by the night wind.

Shu Yun woke up and hurried to the window.

The window opened, revealing a handsome face that he hadn't seen for a few days.

There was a very dissatisfied expression on that face, "You are the first one who dares to ask you to climb over the wall and window in the middle of the night."

"Master, you're back!?" Shu Yun said pleasantly.

After finishing speaking, she ignored his complaints, and quickly walked over to open the door, and personally welcomed someone into her room.

In the two days since Lu Xinyan's accident, Long Tianxing happened to be away from the capital.So Yun asked someone to bring a message to the steward of the Long Mansion, telling Long Tianxing to come to her as soon as he came back!And it's best at night, because the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion is guarded by the emperor!
"You can't see the light so much? Even if it's broad daylight, if you want to enter the Duke of Zhen's mansion, will those Imperial Forest Army dare to stop you?"

For Long Tianxing, although it was new and exciting to climb over the wall in the middle of the night, it was also extremely embarrassing.

Shu Yun ignored his complaint again, and said directly: "Master, something happened to Miss, please help her."

Long Tianxing's complexion immediately resembled the sky outside at this moment, dark and heavy, he said angrily: "You called me here just to let me save your master!?"

After not seeing her for three days, he rushed back to the capital in a hurry, and after hearing her message, he hurried to the Duke of Zhen's mansion again!In the end, when they met, she didn't say she missed him, asked him if he missed her, whether things went well, etc., but asked him to save Lu Xinyan the first time!
This feeling that he is always behind a woman makes Long Tianxing, who has always been used to being the only one, very upset!

The temperature swished down. Sensing the anger on Long Tianxing, Shu Yun hurriedly comforted him, "Things are really tricky now, otherwise Shu Yun wouldn't dare to trouble you, Lord Long. Lord, please help me~ Lord~"

"Don't save me!" Long Tianxing snorted coldly, "What does her life have to do with Master!?"

He wished that the woman would die early and save her?no way!
That indifferent appearance caught Shu Yunqi by surprise. She grabbed Long Tianxing's front and widened her eyes, "Can you help me?"

Long Tianxing narrowed his eyes dangerously, "No help!"

"Save, just comb the clouds and marry! If you don't save, comb the clouds and don't marry!"

Since Dalong Tianxing began to give gifts in person, the relationship between the two has deepened a lot.It's just that every time Long Tianxing hinted that it was time for Shu Yun to go back to the Dragon Mansion with him, Shu Yun avoided talking about it.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the oil lamp in the room shook, and the light on the face of the man facing the oil lamp shook accordingly, showing a bit of coldness and treachery.

His voice was as cold as snow on a winter night, "You dare to threaten me with this matter!?"

He sincerely begged her not to marry her, but now he used marriage as a condition for that woman, what was he doing as Long Tianxing? !

Shu Yun was shivered by the cold, and instead of grabbing Long Tianxing's hand, he curled his mouth, and his voice softened, "Master, Shu Yun is clearly begging you, where is the threat? You wronged Shu Yun! "

It turned out to be his fault!
Long Tianxing: Are you blind or deaf? !
"Master~ What Su Yun said just now means that I hope you marry Shu Yun as soon as possible, can't you understand?"

Long Tianxing: Heh!
"Shu Yun is a maid bought by Miss. If something happens to Miss, and Shu Yun happily gets married, someone will poke Shu Yun's spine, and you will be scolded if you hurt Master Long!"

"Oh, would you care about this? Who dares to point and point at you behind your back? My father had his tongue pulled out!"

"I don't care, but Shu Yun cares. Shu Yun cares about being said by others, but Su Yun doesn't want me to be said about him."

Long Tianxing: "To put it bluntly, I want to save your master."

"Your master is wise." Shu Yun's smiling eyes crooked, "But Shu Yun has to tell you clearly that Shu Yun never agreed to marry him because he wanted to make him love him more. In fact, Su Yun has long been willing Otherwise, I would have taken the initiative to look for you before?"

Long Tianxing snorted, if he didn't know, she thought she was alive now?
"But Su Yun wants to marry you, and whether Shu Yun can marry you are two different things! My father is open-minded and doesn't care what others say. But Su Yun is just an ordinary person. He obviously has the opportunity to save the young lady but he doesn't. He can only helplessly. Watching her have an accident, Shu Yun will have a bad conscience for the rest of his life!"

"Master~" Shu Yun put his arms around Long Tianxing's waist instead, and looked up at his charming little face, "Shu Yun thinks of you as Shu Yun himself, so he makes such a request to you. Others, Shu Yun wouldn't say that~"

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I see that you haven't improved in anything else, but your oral skills have improved a lot!"

"Let Grandpa try!"

"How? Master, have you made any progress?" Shu Yun asked softly.

"Reluctantly." A certain person acted like a good boy when he got an advantage.

"Since Master is satisfied, what did Su Yun say just now?"

Seeing that he was about to change his face again, Shu Yun acted like a baby in his arms, "Master~ help me help~ huh?"

Long Tianxing gritted his teeth, "Do you know what the one thing I regret most in my life?"

"What is it?"

"What I regret the most is that I didn't strangle you to death in the sky prison back then. It's over once and for all!"

As soon as the words finished, Shu Yun grabbed his hand and placed it on her slender and fair neck.He closed his eyes and tilted his head, sticking out his tongue, as if being strangled to death.

Then she quickly opened her eyes, her charming eyes were stained with a sly brilliance, "Master, just now, Shu Yun made your wish come true, how can you thank Shu Yun?"

Long Tianxing: There are so many tricks!

"be honest!"

"Master, Shuyun misses you~"

During these days, what they talked about was spiritual love.

At this time, there was a sudden coughing sound from the next door.

It hinted that the movement here was heard by everyone next door!

Long Tianxing is a person who dares to do things in the wild, so he doesn't care if anyone hears him?

But he cared that he climbed over the wall and window in the middle of the night and was known by others!
Thrilling is exciting, being known by others is too damaging to his reputation!
Long Tianxing's complexion suddenly turned ugly, and he couldn't help laughing, his whole body trembled.

"You're still laughing!" Long Tianxing couldn't help but glared at her.

"Shu Yun was wrong." Shu Yun raised his upper body, "Next time, Shu Yun will make up for you~"

"I believe your nonsense!"

"But Lord, after you go back tonight, you are not allowed to go find those vixens!" Shu Yunjiao said savagely.

Long Tianxing: How can there be any vixen in his Dragon Mansion!

But he won't say it to make Shu Yun more proud, and to do whatever he wants with him!Knead round and flatten!
"Grandfather is gone, and I will see you again in a few days."

"Shu Yun for you."

Shu Yun quickly sent the depressed Long Tianxing out of the house tenderly and affectionately.

After leaving, the cold wind blew outside, and Long Tianxing's fire dissipated a lot.

Thinking about saving that woman again, I felt depressed again.

After getting married, he immediately resigned from office and returned to Fubei, and told Shuyun to stay away from that woman, to see if she dared to put him behind in the future!

After making a decision like this, Long Tianxing felt a lot more relaxed.

"Lengge, after Master gets married, let Madam choose a good one for you, and you should start a family too!" He said very generously.

Lengge was flattered, "Thank you, Master Long!"

Taking a cautious look at Long Tianxing again, "But Master Long, can you choose the young one yourself?"

Long Tianxing raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Do you have a fancy?"

Lengge chuckled, "It's not considered fancy, but I'm a little interested."

Long Tianxing became interested. You must know that Lengge has been with him for many years and has seen countless beauties.Although I have always only watched but not eaten, my vision and appreciation level have improved.

"Do you know him?"

"know."

"Who?"

"The martial arts girl next to the Princess is Qingtong."

Long Tianxing was furious, his woman admired that woman and regarded her more than him!

Now his subordinates are looking at the maid next to that woman.

Is that woman a devil?Was it God who specially sent him to deal with him?
The surrounding air dropped strongly, Lengge bit the bullet and said: "If you don't like it, Master Long, my subordinates"

"No!" Long Tianxing suddenly stopped him from continuing, "I support you, and chase after that Qingtong!"

Lengge: Huh?

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Long Tianxing's lips, "In the future, Master will take Shuyun, and you will take Qingtong, and go back to Fubei together." Stay away from that woman!
It's so cool to think about taking away all the important people around that woman!Hahaha!

Lengge is completely confused about Long Tianxing's transformation, but as a qualified subordinate, it is his duty to perfectly execute every task of the master!

Now that the master has issued an order for him to catch Qingtong, then he can let go and chase after him!
Lengge is eager to try, hehe, thinking that Lengge will soon have a wife, the more he thinks about it, the more excited he is!
"Lengge, when did you set your sights on that girl?" Long Tianxing rarely gossips.

"Master just came to the capital, that time in the middle of Nanshan Mountain." Lengge said: "It's been a long time since I have seen such a young woman with such good kung fu!"

Leng Ge is three years younger than Long Tianxing, and he is obsessed with martial arts. This reason also suits him!Long Tianxing nodded, "You don't know many women, I have experienced many battles, why don't I teach you two tricks?"

Lengge: Master, it's better to say goodbye. Don't forget, Miss Shuyun was brought back by her subordinates to help you come up with ideas!
But he didn't dare to say that, "Thank you, Master Long!"

But I thought in my heart, I can listen to Master Long for everything, but I must not listen to the matter of chasing women, it is absolutely unreliable!
