As for Lu Bai, he went to take a nap.

There is no rush to investigate the case of the Customs Supervision Department.

Lu Bai is not two hundred and five, even if Lu Bai is two hundred and five, Gu Qinghuan behind him is not a vegetarian.

Within a few days of entering the capital, Gu Qinghuan had already found out Lu Bai's enemies clearly.

Needless to say, Fang Qianhu, there is no need to inquire about it. The key point is this Shi family. Gu Qinghuan found out at his wife's banquet that the Shi family's fortune originated from an elder of Jianzhai.This elder had a close friendship with the previous generation of the Shi family, so after the Lu family and Jianzhai parted ways, he strongly advocated that the Shi family become the secular sect of Jianzhai.

Originally, Lu Bai felt that after his arrival, the Shi family should at least take revenge, not to mention a thunderous attack, but for some reason there has been no movement until now.

That is, the last time Lu Bai was in Yuxi Palace, he did not see the head of the Shi family, the master of the cabinet.

Gu Qinghuan guessed that it was probably because the secular sect was unstable, and the Shi family was seizing the opportunity to consolidate this, so they ignored Lu Bai.

After all, after becoming a secular sect of Jian Zhai, it would not be too late to deal with Lu Bai slowly.

If the Shen family takes the lead and let the Shen family become the secular sect of Jianzhai, no matter how hard the Shi family works, they will have no chance to avenge Lu Bai.

In front of Lu Bai's realm, except for the eight major sects and the royal family, everything is floating clouds.

As soon as Lu Bai lay down in the office, Jin Yiwei came in to report, saying that the emperor had called, and the father-in-law in the palace had come to invite him.

Lu Bai was lazy, and after Jin Yiwei said something else, he started to do it lazily.

The soft bed in his office was given by Fang Qianhu. It was covered with soft cushions, making it very comfortable to lie on. Lu Bai occasionally slept on it.

How about Fang Qianhu being considerate?

Lu Bai sometimes regretted killing Fang Qianhu's son, so he should be escorted to the capital for trial.

It's a pity that there is no such medicine for regret in this world, and Fang Qianhu's son is so useless.

Lu Bai went out, and the eunuch Bai was already waiting for him.

Lu Bai sat in the carriage neatly, took the wine glass handed over by the eunuch Bai, "Old Bai, what's the matter with the emperor today?"

Eunuch Bai smiled, "It's a good thing, the emperor will entrust your lord with a heavy responsibility today."

Lu Bai was stunned for a moment, he didn't think it was a good thing, his Nanzhen Fusi yamen's stall had just been rolled out, now was not the time to walk away or make trouble out of nowhere.

"What's the matter?" he asked after taking a sip of his drink.

"It's still from Jin Yiwei." Seeing that Lu Bai was not very happy, the eunuch Bai guessed something in his heart, and hurriedly gave him a reassurance, "About a case presented by Jin Yiwei this morning, the emperor was furious and asked Jin Yiwei to let go of his hands and feet. To investigate, but the emperor doesn't trust the commander Xiao Zhan, so he decided to let you take charge of this case."

"The case that was reported this morning?" Lu Bai understood, it was probably the case of Gu Jin and the fake girls who picked flowers.

.

Chapter 371 Uncle

Lu Bai suddenly nodded, "So this is the case."

Eunuch Bai was curious, "Listening to Mr. Lu, you already know what the case is?"

Lu Bai nodded, "Speaking of which, I'm the one who gave this case to Beizhen Fusi."

Then, Lu Bai talked about how he found Gu Jin at home, and then found his master, senior brother Sang Tian and others, "It was more than 20 years ago, and now it is estimated that the branches and leaves have already bloomed, and the scourge is unknown. How many girls are there?"

Lu Bai shook his head.

He just released this case this morning, just to stop working on this case. After all, this case is too long, the scope is too large, it is too troublesome to investigate, and it requires too much energy.

I don't know how long it will take to draw a lottery with this case.

"Hey, Lao Bai—" Lu Bai raised his head, seeing that the eunuch Bai's expression was unnatural, "Old Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Eunuch Bai quickly came back to his senses, and replied with a smile: "No, it's nothing, I just thought that those of us who can't survive have no choice but to enter the palace, and I didn't expect some people to leave the palace in such a way. "

Lu Bai agreed, Gu Jin was unlucky to hear that he was expelled from the palace because he was too proficient in business.

"Lord Lu, what did you want to say just now?" The eunuch Bai smiled and took out some side dishes from under the table for Lu Bai to serve with the wine, "These side dishes are the emperor's concern for Lord Lu, and asked me to bring them over on the way. "

Lu Bai didn't believe it this time.

According to the understanding of the few meetings, Lu Bai didn't think the emperor would miss his stuttering.

Lu Bai was probably brought by the eunuch Bai along the way, and then pushed it on the emperor.

This is a good eunuch.

Lu Bai tasted it, and was full of praise, "As expected of an imperial chef, the cooking skills are just different."

He asked Eunuch Bai, "If there is a royal chef who has retired and returned to his hometown, you must tell me, I will invite him to my house and confess him. If you don't do anything else, just cook for me."

Eunuch Bai said he had taken note of it.

Lu Bai took another bite of the dish and said, "I don't really want to take on this case, as you know, I'm a big deal in Nanzhen Fusi now. Besides, there's Beizhen Fushi, the commander is here, I'm I'll have to find a way to refuse later if a Nanzhen Fusi's meddling."

Eunuch Bai hesitated for a moment, and said after a while, "Lord Lu, please don't refuse, the emperor intends to promote Lord Lu for this case."

Lu Bai looked at Eunuch Bai while eating the vegetables, "How do you say that?"

"This case is a big one. It is estimated that if it is really investigated, the people will be uproarious after it is spread out. Even the aristocratic family will have a lot of discussions among the officials. This case is destined to be a big and important case that everyone pays attention to." Mr. Bai The eunuch told Lu Bai that the emperor handed over this case to Lu Bai in the hope that Lu Bai would solve the case, and then rely on this credit to take the next step, sit in the position of Beizhen Fushi, and even approach the commander.

Commander Xiao Zhan, the bosses of the two factories are all the emperor's people. The emperor has a lot of constraints, and he already has the heart to get rid of them. However, Xiao Zhan and others have the help of the Lu family, and the lack of Jinyiwei can threaten his status. people.

Lu Bai's appearance just gave the emperor a chance.

The emperor intends to flatter you. Lu Bai heard the eunuch Bai say it many times, but this time he refused decisively, "Old Bai, I want to be a commander because I want to solve the case, but definitely not because I want to solve the case—"

He took a sip of his wine, and said in a leisurely tone, "I will kill this criminal Xiao and personally drive him out of the command post."

Eunuch Bai was taken aback.

It is true that the emperor used Lu Bai to regain Jinyiwei's authority, but he absolutely did not want to restart the investigation of the Yongle City case, otherwise, the Supreme Emperor would also be implicated in it.

Although the emperor's family has no family ties, the Supreme Emperor is the emperor's father after all. He does not want, does not want and will never allow anyone to expose the shortcomings of the Supreme Emperor.

Lu Bai smiled, "Well, I still have some sense."

He took a sip of wine and looked into the distance, "Commander Xiao has committed more than one crime, right? As long as I catch him once, won't he have to slip down from the commander's seat in disgrace?"

Eunuch Bai was happy, "It makes sense, then, when I see the emperor later, I will say it, and you don't need to speak."

After all, the emperor issued an order, but Lu Bai refused or evaded it, which somewhat hurt the emperor's self-esteem.

"Then I would like to thank Eunuch Bai." Lu Bai bowed his hands to him.

They soon arrived at the palace, and after getting off the carriage, the eunuch Bai was still leading the way, but this time they were not going to Yuxi Palace, but to the emperor's bedroom. The eunuch Bai said that the red girl is here again, and the emperor is watching The red girl is dancing.

They turned a street corner and continued walking, when someone behind them suddenly called out: "Lord Lu, please stay."

Eunuch Bai and Lu Bai stopped.

Lu Bai saw a young man leading several maids and eunuchs coming from the veranda.

He was wearing a black brocade suit with golden python patterns embroidered on it.

This young man's appearance is not handsome, but he looks very comfortable. The reason, Lu Bai thinks that besides his kind smile, the key is that he has a face that is indifferent to the world, with a somewhat innocent face. Face.

This makes people feel that this person is very close.

"His Royal Highness Luo." The eunuch Bai saluted the young man.

King Luo nodded to Eunuch Bai, cupped his hands and said to Lu Bai, "I have heard about Mr. Lu's name as a genius, and today I see him. He really deserves to be a genius among geniuses. His temperament is so elegant that ordinary people can't compare."

Lu Bai smiled modestly, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that King Luo could talk so he didn't say much.

"I have always wanted to make friends, but I never had a chance. I wonder if Master Lu has time today? I invite you to have a drink to express Xiao Wang's admiration for Master Lu, and to ask Master Lu for some cultivation experience by the way."

Lu Bai nodded, "Okay."

Luo Wang was overjoyed, "Okay, then let's make an agreement, I will let someone wait for you outside."

Then, King Luo offered to leave, so as not to delay Lu Bai's time to meet the emperor.

After Lu Bai watched him leave, he continued to walk inside with the eunuch Bai.

"This prince looks very kind, without any airs." Lu Bai said.

Eunuch Bai agreed, "King Luo's biological mother was born in a humble way, with a gentle personality, and she never competed with others. King Luo followed his mother and treated his servants very well since he was a child. Besides, the corporal is the most unassuming among the princes. .”

Lu Bai knew that this King Luo belonged to a palace girl next to Queen Mother Gu, and because her biological mother's status was too low, she was never raised by the Queen's side, which was equivalent to a bargaining chip for the Queen Mother and Queen for the future imperial power.

But Lu Bai didn't believe that he didn't fight with others.

Those who don't fight with others will never find him.

Eunuch Bai also reminded Lu Bai, "Lord Lu, the water is deep in this royal matter, so don't get caught in it."

Lu Bai could not be drowned if he fell into it, and the eunuch Bai was afraid that with Lu Bai's joining, the two dragons would fight and run wildly in an unknown direction, thus disrupting the emperor's plan.

After all, eunuch Bai felt that the emperor had a good idea of ​​who to choose as the heir.

Lu Bai asked him to keep his heart in his stomach, because Lu Bai didn't have that kind of mind on the struggle for imperial power, "No matter who is the crown prince, we are as stable as Mount Tai, right?"

Eunuch Bai thought it was true.

Strength is respected.

As long as Lu Bai is strong, he can stand in this capital without looking at anyone.

Didn't the emperor try to win him over?

Yuxi Palace will arrive soon.

Lu Bai went in to the bedroom, Xiao Zhan, the commander of Jinyiwei, was also there, and at the same time, there was also the fat eunuch of Dongchang Changgong.

After seeing Lu Bai, he subconsciously dodged his eyes.

Apparently, when Lu Bai met in the palace last time, he was very impressed with him saying that he would do it, which left a shadow in his heart.

The red girl is dancing.

The emperor motioned for Lu Bai to sit down, and then continued to watch the red girl dance.

At this time, the eunuch Bai walked up to the emperor, whispered a few words, the emperor frowned slightly, looked at Lu Bai, waited for the eunuch Bai to say a few more words, and then nodded subtly.

Then, the eunuch Bai didn't know what to say again, which made the emperor frowned again.

Lu Bai didn't care about these.

He watched the red girl dance, and at the same time he murmured in his heart that the ancients got married really early. The emperor was only about thirty years old, and his son had already become a young man who could fight for power.

Although they are now fighting for the crown prince's seat.

After the song, the red girl stopped dancing, bowed to the emperor, and then nodded to Lu Bai.

The emperor applauded, and stared at the red girl with straight eyes. Now the red girl was sweating from dancing, and her chest rose and fell due to shortness of breath, which greatly irritated the emperor.

With strong willpower, he turned his eyes away from the red girl, and said with a smile: "Okay, since everyone from Nanzhen Fusi is here, let's handle this case—"

He looked at Xiao Zhan, "Commander Xiao is still leading the case, leading the Jinyiwei of Beizhen Fusi to investigate, and Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for supervising the case, so that Jinyiwei must not slack in the investigation."

Xiao Zhan was taken aback.

He was very unhappy just now, after all, letting Lu Bai, the governor of Nanzhen, intervene in the case of Fusi of Beizhen, it was clear that he would not give him face, but now this case is in his hands again.

Xiao Zhan looked at Lu Bai.

The emperor looked at him, "What do you think?"

Xiao Zhan hurriedly stood up to take the order, and Lu Bai also stood up and agreed, promising to supervise Xiao Zhan to handle the case perfectly.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and then signaled that they could retreat.

Lu Bai and Xiao Zhan resigned together.

After leaving the palace, Lu Bai patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder——

Xiao Zhan trembled in fright, and hurriedly backed away, thinking that Lu Bai was going to attack him.

However, no matter how he retreated, Lu Bai's hand still slapped him on the shoulder, which made Xiao Zhan inexplicably horrified, and strengthened his determination to get rid of Lu Bai as soon as possible.

"Old Xiao, you heard me, the emperor asked me to supervise you, don't let me down." Lu Bai said with a smile.

Xiao Zhanxu and Wei Snake said, "Brother Lu's words are wrong. We are both Jinyiwei, so we should work hard together."

"Yes, let's work hard together. You work hard to arrest people, and I work hard to watch you." Lu Bai withdrew his hand and went outside.

Xiao Zhan stayed away from him, and only walked out slowly after a hundred steps away.

As soon as he left the palace gate, a carriage stopped in front of Lu Bai, the curtain was lifted, and after the people inside said a few words, Lu Bai stepped into the carriage, and then the carriage drove away amidst the sound of bones. .
