After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Lu Yuan had already fallen into her flattery too many times and didn't buy her account.

"You do not trust me?"

Meng Qianqian asked with a hurt look on her face.

Lu Yuan asked in a cold voice: "Meng Xiaojiu, how many truths have you said to me when you are together?"

Meng Qianqian opened her mouth and said: "It's all the truth!"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.

But then he thought of something and suppressed his anger.

He didn't sleep all night last night. Nanny Li went to his study and told him a lot about her time in the Lu family.

"When the young lady was young, she was a lively and clever girl, chubby, and everyone who saw her said that she was blessed, but she married into the Lu family. I watched helplessly as the smile on the young lady's face became less and less, until she could no longer smile, and she became thinner and thinner day by day."

"After marrying Master, the young lady seems to have come back to life... Although the young lady sometimes likes to make Master angry, I think that the young lady is only so straightforward in front of Master, it must be because she trusts Master in her heart. Please bear with me."

"Besides, Master, please take good care of yourself. We are all hoping that you and Master will have a son soon and live happily together till old age."

Lu Yuan strode into the Ministry of Justice.

Meng Qianqian looked at his handsome back and couldn't help but blink.

So... you're letting her go?

Why don't you take this opportunity to add to her debt?

"How strange! This shouldn't be the case. Is the treacherous minister so easy to talk to?"

"If you keep grumbling, I'll remember you!"

"No mumbling, no mumbling!"

Meng Qianqian followed quickly.

At this hour, it should have been the busiest time for the Ministry of Justice, but the lobby was empty and there were only a few yamen runners sweeping the yard, and they didn't even notice anyone coming in.

"come here."

Lu Yuan said to one of the young yamen runners.

The yamen runner looked up and recognized Lu Yuan's purple official uniform: "Grand Commander?"

When the others heard his voice, they also came over. They were startled and hurriedly saluted Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian.

Lu Yuan asked calmly, "Are there only a few of you in the Ministry of Justice? Where are the others?"

The Prime Minister is "detained" in the Ministry of Justice, so the defense should not be so lax.

The yamen runner named by Lu Yuan answered respectfully: "In reply to the Grand Commander, the Minister has sent them out to investigate the case."

Lu Yuan frowned suspiciously: "Where is Minister Xing?"

The bailiff said, "I am in the duty room with several gentlemen, and the minister has ordered us not to disturb them."

Meng Qianqian looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded and gave her a knowing look.

Meng Qianqian took a step and rushed towards Minister Xing's duty room.

The speed was too fast, and Lu Yuan couldn't stop it even though he wanted to.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth in anger.

He indicated that she had guessed correctly, but he didn't ask her to charge into battle. Did she forget everything he said to her in the secret passage? !

Meng Qianqian drew her knife, kicked the door open and entered the room in one go.

"Husband, you can come in now."

She poked her little head out of the door.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and silently made a note of someone in his heart.

In the duty room, several officials from the Ministry of Justice were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, all of them fainted.

The two people who did not faint - Minister Xing and Master Hu - were tied up with hemp ropes, had their mute points pressed and sat on chairs.

Meng Qianqian hurriedly untied the two of them.

Master Hu was finally able to speak, and immediately shouted excitedly: "It's Chen Long! It's Chen Long!"

I guessed that Chen Long would "break into" the Ministry of Justice by force, but I didn't expect it to be so forceful. It's not like he doesn't have Qinggong skills, so why not do it stealthily?

Meng Qianqian smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Hu, you have just been sealed for too long, don't get excited, otherwise you may have a stroke."

Master Hu shut up immediately.

Shangshu Xing is worthy of being the head of the criminal court, he is very calm and composed.

His legs were numb from sitting for too long, so he couldn't stand up to salute. He could only say with a complicated expression, "Chen Long has gone to find the Prime Minister. Please help me capture Chen Long."

"This..." Meng Qianqian laughed dryly, "Uncle Xing, can we...talk for a moment?"

Minister Xing looked at Meng Qianqian deeply, frowned and said, "Do you want to plead for Chen Long?"

Meng Qianqian: You are worthy of being the number one judge in the Great Zhou. You guessed it in just one sentence!

Minister Xing said sternly, "Chen Long is a wanted criminal by the imperial court. It's not that Uncle Xing doesn't want to do you a favor, it's that I really can't do anything about it."

If it was someone else, Meng Qianqian would have used threats and bribes, but the person in front of her was Uncle Xing, and she couldn't bear it.

She looked at Lu Yuan pleadingly.

Think of a way, husband.

Lu Yuan said calmly: "I owe you one."

Meng Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, “I owe you!”

Minister Xing was completely confused and didn't understand what the young couple was talking about.

But no matter what ideas they might come up with, he would never let go of any of the imperial criminals.

Lu Yuan took something out from his wide sleeves and looked at Minister Xing solemnly: "The emperor's secret order."

……

In a dim cell.

Chen Long saw Prime Minister Xun sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

Although he held the highest official rank, Shangshu Xing did not give him any preferential treatment.

However, even though he was in prison, he remained calm and composed.

Chen Long stopped in front of him and looked down at him.

Xun Xiangguo didn't open his eyes: "You are here."

Chen Long was not surprised that he recognized him without even looking. If the Prime Minister did not have some real ability, he would not have the position he has today.

Chen Long said: "You wanted to kill me to silence me, but unfortunately you failed."

Prime Minister Xun said: "It's not a bad thing."

"Really?" Chen Long looked at him coldly and threw a booklet on the ground.

Prime Minister Xun slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the booklet. His expression did not change at all, at least in Chen Long's opinion.

But Chen Long understood the importance of this booklet to him.

"Lu Yuan found a lot of evidence of the Prime Minister's crimes in the secret passage. You can easily find an adopted son to take the blame for those crimes. However, the victory in the Western Region was actually a huge lie told by you in collusion with the ten great princes. I'm afraid that this crime cannot be taken by anyone."

Prime Minister Xun's expression finally showed a hint of subtlety for a moment.

Chen Long continued, "You cultivated Lu Yuan and made him a treacherous minister that everyone fears, just to have him take the blame for you one day, right? You know that Lu Yuan protected the emperor, officials and forces that you could not win over under your nose, and this was just one step in your plan. You have to make Lu Yuan strong enough so that he can bear the crime of treason."

"It's a pity that the tiger you raised yourself turned around and bit you."

"Lu Yuan is not an ordinary orphan. He has the support of the entire Miao region. I don't think you have expected this."

"I have never shown this evidence to Lu Yuan, nor have I mentioned it to anyone else. As long as you hand over Shang Jia's child, I will return the evidence to you."

Prime Minister Xun looked into Chen Long's eyes.

Chen Long said seriously: "You should know that I didn't lie."

Prime Minister Xun stared at Chen Long for a long time: "The pair of children..."

Chen Long was stunned: "That's right?"

Prime Minister Xun said: "That's right, Madam Shang gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
