Chapter 142

Monarchs and envoys from various countries were all around, looking at each other, not knowing what happened, Dou Bobi was still unconscious on the ground, Tang Wu tried his best to save him, his hands were covered with blood, he looked very scary.

Chang Yunji was caught by the guards, but the eunuch who was next to him suddenly died suddenly, and everyone looked at each other as if there was no proof of death for a moment.

Many people came to curry favor with Chu State. Of course, these people have no friendship with Chu State, so it is not a big deal to watch the excitement at this time. Besides, if Dou Bobi really died, many countries would be very angry. Thanks to the murderous eunuch.

You must know that although Dou Bobi has retired, the entire Dou family is supported by Dou Bobi. After the Dou family, there is no one who is more famous than Dou Bobi. It will collapse at least half, which is a good thing for other countries, and the threat will collapse in half.

So everyone was watching the fun, shrank aside, didn't cause trouble, but didn't walk away either.

Wu Jiu looked around, and said to Tang Wu with a very bad expression, "Tang'er, how are you?"

The weather is not so hot anymore, especially at night, it is very cool, with some cool breeze, but at this moment, Tang Wu is sweating profusely, hot sweat rolled down his forehead, looking very anxious, He didn't stop his movements, and said in his mouth: "Go back to the king, the situation is not very good, the minister is trying to rescue..."

When Wu Jiu heard this, his face immediately turned cold. Chang Yunji, who was arrested, also had a pale face when she heard this, and stared straight at Dou Bobi who passed out on the ground.

At this time, the envoys of the Yun Kingdom finally squeezed in, and there was Shao Yunji beside her. Seeing the blood all over the ground, Shao Yunji couldn't help screaming.

The envoy of Yun State hurriedly said to Wu Jiu: "King Chu, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. How could our daughter of Chang Guo assassinate the doctor of Chu State? There must be some misunderstanding!"

Wu Jiu's expression was very bad, especially when there were many spectators nearby, so he said: "Whether it is a misunderstanding, I will find out for myself, but when the old man was assassinated, the head of the country and the daughter of the country were indeed present, the eunuch who did the murder She is also the eunuch next to Chang Guo Nu, what can Chang Guo Nu say about this?"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Chang Yunji. Chang Yunji's face was pale, she just stared at Dou Bobi on the ground, she was thinking of something, her lips trembling, and said: "I...I didn't...I never did, how could I Will kill him... I don't know how..."

Everyone listened to Chang Yunji's denial, but it was already expected, but obviously no one would believe it, Qi Hou frowned, and said: "Can I trouble the daughter of Yunguo to tell you why you are here? Just now Getting ready to have a banquet, everyone is in the banquet hall, the envoys of the Yun Kingdom and the young girl are also in the banquet hall, but there is no Chang Guo girl, I wonder what the Chang Guo girl is doing in such a remote place as Doujia?"

When everyone heard this, they looked sideways at Chang Yunji. Chang Yunji trembled even more when he heard Qihou's question, and looked up at Wu Jiao.

Wu Jiu didn't know why Chang Yunji wanted to look at him, and what did it have to do with him?

After Chang Yunji glanced at Wu Jiu, she lowered her eyes and stared at Dou Bobi who was being rescued on the ground, her lips continued to tremble, and said, "I... I just happened to pass by..."

When Chang Yunji said that, everyone was not stupid, and immediately felt that Chang Yunji must not be telling the truth. This is the backyard, how could she happen to be passing by, even if she got lost, she couldn't get lost here. Chang Yunji was obviously lying.

Chang Yunji didn't speak, but the envoys and monarchs beside him began to whisper, Wu Jiao frowned, Qi Hou came over and whispered: "Second brother, let people put Chang Yunji under house arrest in the post house first, if this continues I'm afraid it will be seen by other countries, saving people is the most important thing."

Wu Jiu nodded and said: "There is something strange at this time. The daughter of the Chang country of Yun is frightened. The widow will send you back to the inn to rest. The assailant appeared next to the daughter of the Chang country. I am afraid it is not safe. The widow also I will order people to guard the safety of Yun Guozhang and the daughter of the country, please rest assured that the daughter of the country."

He said it very euphemistically, but everyone is a person who wanders between power and tricks, so he naturally understands what it means. Wu Jiu wants to put Chang Yunji under house arrest and put him under house arrest in the post house.

In fact, it was considered a way of saving face, if Chang Yunji was not a woman, she might have been arrested at this time, and now she is only under house arrest, but Wu Jiao showed mercy.

As Wu Jiu spoke, he immediately said: "Come here, the daughter of the country of Yun is frightened, please go back to the post house to rest."

As he said this, the soldier immediately said, "Please!"

Chang Yunji turned pale and trembled all over. She was "invited" by the soldiers, but she turned her head frequently to look at Dou Bobi who was lying on the ground, as if she was unwilling to leave.

At this time, the envoy of Yun State said anxiously: "This...is there some misunderstanding, King Chu! King Chu!"

But Wu Jiu ignored the envoys of the Yun Kingdom, and just ordered people to send Chang Yunji back to the post. There were many onlookers around. I don’t want such a thing to happen in my country of Chu, today’s incident, I will definitely give everyone an explanation, the banquet is ready, please have the banquet first, I will not accompany you.”

As Wu Jiu said so, many eunuchs and court ladies invited everyone to the banquet hall. Although everyone still wanted to watch the fun, they couldn't refute Wu Jiu's face. Soon the back garden was quiet.

Tang Wu didn't dare to move Dou Bobi, he was still trying to stop the bleeding, Dou Qi was sweating and said, "How could this happen!?"

Everyone present actually knew that Dou Bobi and Chang Yunji had a relationship, not just a relationship, they already had sons, maybe Chang Yunji and Dou Bobi were here for a tryst?

Both Wu Jiu and Qi Hou thought so, but Dou Qi seemed to know what they were thinking, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "King Chu, Duke Qi, this... this is absolutely impossible, the elder brother is also clear to both of you, how can you Perhaps at such a time, if someone sees a tryst with the daughter of Yun, wouldn't it ruin our country's diplomatic relations with Yun?"

When Wu Jiu heard this, he also felt that it was the case. If Dou Bobi's private meeting with Chang Yunji was discovered, the diplomatic relations between the two countries would definitely be ruined, and Chang Yunji would also be scolded for being uneducated. Obviously, he wanted to give the eldest princess to Wu Jiu as his wife. Under such circumstances, Dou Bobi was even less likely to presume to meet the daughter of Chang Guo. Wouldn't Wu Jiu's face be ugly if it was spread out?

Qihou said: "Why did the old man meet Chang Yunji? Chang Yunji hesitated to say anything. Is there any stake in it?"

Everyone guessed that there was no way out and could only wait for Tang Wu to rescue him. Tang Wu was sweating profusely and his clothes were wet. Fortunately, the sword deviated a little and missed the vital point, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Dou Bobi lost a lot of blood, and was stabbed in the heart again. Although Tang Wu said that he was fine, Dou Bobi never woke up, and there was no movement.

Wu Jiao asked Dou Bobi to be carried back to the room, and Dou Qi turned around anxiously. After all, although Dou Qi was the head of the Dou family, Dou Qi also knew that his prestige was far inferior to Dou Bobi's. Today's banquet has already disgraced him. Well, if one is not careful, it may bring disaster to the Dou Family, and what's more, it may bring disaster to Chu State.

Everyone was busy chattering, the banquet was already dusk, and now it is past midnight, the envoys and monarchs used the banquet, Wu Jiao personally saw them off at the door of Dou's house, sent them out, and sent chariots and horses back to the post house to rest , After the busy work, it feels like the sky is about to dawn.

Wu Jiu was originally in poor health. Although after such a long period of recuperation, people who are in poor health know how uncomfortable and harmful it is to stay up late, especially Wu Jiao feels that he is no longer a young man. Although his face does not look old, But he is not as strong as Qi Hou.

Wu Jiu was exhausted, so Marquis Qi asked Ziqing to prepare a car to take Wu Jiu back to the palace. Wu Jiu got into the car and was still discussing the matter of Dou Bobi with Marquis Qi, saying: "I really can't figure it out, Chang Yun It's not that Ji and Guo Lao are having a tryst, so they are sneaking around like this, and they are still in the back garden, what on earth are you talking about?"

Qihou also shook his head, seeing Wu Jiao's eyes glued to his face, he stretched out his arms to hug him, let him lie on his lap, and said, "Second brother, it's almost dawn, tonight you You're busy enough, come and take a break."

Wu Jiu was really tired, so he rested on Qihou's lap, and fell asleep after a while.

When they arrived at the palace, Marquis Qi didn't wake Wu Jiu up, he stretched out his hand and hugged Wu Jiu, and walked directly into the small bedroom with Wu Jiu in his arms.

When they went back, the sky was already gray, and Wu Jiu still thought that he was in the black car, and sat up suddenly after falling asleep for a while.

At this time, Qi Hou just finished washing and just went to sleep on the couch, he saw Wu Jiao sitting up in a daze, with sleepy eyes on his face, rubbing his eyes with his hand, as if he was about to sleepwalk.

Qi Hou hurried over, put his arms around Wu Jiu, patted him lightly, and said, "Second brother, what's the matter, lie down quickly, it's still early."

Hearing what he said, Wu Jiu didn't wake up, but when he heard Qihou's deep and gentle voice, he fell asleep again, didn't lie down at all, and fell asleep sitting next to Qihou.

Qihou smiled, put the man down slowly, and lay beside him, ready to take a nap.

When Wu Jiao woke up, he heard noises in his ears. The small bedroom was actually quite soundproof. After all, the walls were very thick. Who would dare to cut corners in Chu’s palace?

But even with the sound insulation like this, Wu Jiu could still hear the noise, Wu Jiu rubbed his eyes and sat up, Ziqing stood by the couch, Tang Wu didn't come back yesterday, so he stayed in Doujia, but Qihou was not seen.

Wu Jiu said, "Where is Duke Qi? Who is making the noise?"

Ziqing hurriedly said: "Go back to the king, when you were resting, the envoys of Yun State were clamoring to see you, but the eunuch couldn't stop him at all, and Duke Qi just went out to meet the guests."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he finally understood that it was the envoys of Yun State who were making noise outside. Not long after Qi Hou fell asleep, the envoys of Yun State came into the palace. If they wanted to see Wu Jiu, no one could stop them.

Marquis Qi was afraid that he would wake Wu Jiu up, so he got up and went to meet the guests. The envoys from the Yun Kingdom came to express their dissatisfaction. Their daughter Chang Guo was under house arrest and no one was allowed to see her. .

The envoy of Yun State threatened to write a letter back to Yun State to tell the King of Yun State about this matter. Qi Hou sneered when he heard this, and told the King of Yun State that he was afraid of things and fear of guilt, which would only make Yun It won't be a big deal if Lord Guoguo comes over to make amends.

Marquis Qi was very disdainful, the envoy of Yun State was like a two hundred and five, and his tone was very aggressive. Wu Jie dressed neatly and washed in a hurry. Envoy of the State of Qi, do you still think that you are the monarch? You are just a former monarch, but now you are the proton sent by the State of Qi, do you still want to show off your might in the State of Chu?!"

As he said this, Marquis Qi was not angry yet, when Wu Jiu just heard "Boom!!", he rushed up with anger. To put it bluntly, Marquis Qi gave up his position as Marquis and abdicated to Prince Zhao, but it was actually for himself. If he hadn't been in the state of Chu, Marquis Qi would not have abdicated.

Now when Wu Jiu heard this, he immediately began to protect his shortcomings, smiled coldly, and strode over.

The envoy of Yun State did not expect the King of Chu to come out, and came from behind him. Just now he was mocking Marquis Qi fervently, but now he heard the King of Chu's sneer, and he immediately faltered.

Wu Jiu came out and said, "Early in the morning, the envoys of the Yun State came into the palace and yelled loudly. Is this the style of the State of Yun or the education of the State of Yun? Your eunuch from the State of Yun assassinated us in the State of Chu." Elder Guo, I haven't questioned you yet, so it's better for you to come to the palace to slander and slander my distinguished guests? What does this mean?"

Qihou didn't expect Wu Jiao to wake up, he didn't want to wake Wu Jiao up, after all, Wu Jiao hadn't slept for long and his eyes were still black and blue.

When Wu Jiu came out, it might be because of getting angry, it might be because of hypoglycemia, or it might be because he heard the envoys of Yun state slandering Marquis Qi, anyway, the aura field was fully open, and the low air pressure pervaded the entire small bedroom. His face was sombre, completely missing the usual gentleness.

The envoy of Yun State did not expect the King of Chu to come out, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted and said, "This... the King of Chu, the foreign minister didn't mean that..."

Wu Jiao smiled coldly, stretched out his sleeves and sat on the table, and said, "Oh? What does that mean? The envoy must have come to plead guilty, right? Tell me how your eunuch from Yun State murdered our State of Chu Guolao? Guolao is the pillar of our state of Chu, if something happens to Guolao, you, Yunguo, know what will happen?"

The envoy of Yun State was so frightened that he felt that he had said too much and was wrong, so he left in a hurry, and retreated with his tail between his legs.

Seeing the envoys of Yun State fleeing in a hurry, Marquis Qi raised his eyebrows provocatively at the envoys of Yun State, with a look of success on his face, the special villain was successful, and the envoys of Yun State gritted their teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Qi Hou was "showing off his might", "fox pretending to be a tiger", but Wu Jiu came from behind and immediately gave Qi Hou a big jujube on his head.

"Boom!" With a sound, Ziqing's eyes widened, and he looked at Wu Jiao with disbelief, feeling that the king's anger for getting up had not dissipated, so he quickly stepped aside and lowered his head, fearing that something might happen to him.

Qihou was still happy, but he was hit by Wu Jiu, he quickly covered the back of his head, and said aggrievedly: "Second brother, it hurts so much."

Wu Jiu said: "If it doesn't hurt, don't beat him. The envoy of Yun State is so rude. Talking to you like this, how majestic is your king of Qi State? Why don't you scold him?"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi laughed, and quickly put his arms around Wu Jiu, saying, "It turns out that my good second brother loves me so much."

Wu Jiu gave him a blank look, stretched out his hand to push him away, but Qi Hou didn't let him leave, hugged him in his arms, and said, "Isn't Gu afraid of causing trouble for you, but I didn't expect that Gu's second brother would love to see Gu so much." , Gu is really happy."

Wu Jiao saw that he had a low-key look on his face, so he had no choice but to say: "Whoever is rude to you next time, don't worry about the widow."

Qi Hou quickly said: "Okay, okay, Gu knows that the second brother loves Gu the most."

Wu Jiu was actually a little angry when he got up, and Qi Hou gave up his position for himself, Wu Jiu was also very grateful in his heart, and naturally he couldn't let others bully Qi Hou because of this, but after getting up, he woke up a little bit, and suddenly felt that he was a little ashamed , gave Qi Hou a jujube.

While eating breakfast, Wu Jiu felt really ashamed, but Qi Hou, who had just been knocked down, was smiling and eating breakfast happily, as if pink bubbles and little flowers would appear all over his body.

Wu Jiu finally couldn't stand Qi Hou's adoring and gentle gaze, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm done eating, you can stay here with Ziwen."

Qihou quickly said, "Second brother, where are you going?"

Wu Jiu said helplessly, "Naturally, we need someone to handle the Doujia's affairs."

Marquis Qi must follow Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu had no choice but to take his oversized leg pendant to the Lu Palace.

Wu Jiu came to Peng Zhongshuang and wanted to hand over the matter to Peng Zhongshuang to find out. After all, Peng Zhongshuang was Ling Yin in Wu Jiu's mind. He wanted to give Peng Zhongshuang some opportunities to make contributions, and then promote him logically.

However, Peng Zhongshuang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zhong Shuang is Le Yin. This matter has nothing to do with Le Yin at all. If General Wang handed over to Zhong Shuang at this time, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the officials."

Wu Jiu thought about it, and he also felt that it was the case. Being a king requires a bowl of water. He promoted Peng Zhongshuang too much, and Peng Zhongshuang was really young.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's my fault that Le Yin thought everything through."

Wu Jiu was chatting with Peng Zhongshuang, while Qi Hou was sitting on the side, eating snacks. In fact, he and Wu Jiu had nothing to do when they came to the bedroom. While eating dim sum.

It’s still the dim sum made by the second brother himself, the husband’s cake, Qi Hou eats it happily, but so far I don’t know why Wu Jiu always calls him husband from time to time, this title is too ugly, but when I call him, the second brother will be special I am happy, and when I am happy, I will feed myself a lot of delicious food.

Marquis Qi followed Wu Jiu. There was nothing else to do, but he had to follow. Another reason was because Marquis Qi knew that Marquis Wu wanted to see Peng Zhongshuang.

Peng Zhongshuang is a handsome man, he is so good-looking and young, Qi Hou still remembered that Wu Jiu said that he likes young people, so Qi Hou was very vigilant, he had to follow Wu Jiu and sit on the sidelines.

Wu Jiu and Peng Zhongshuang were talking, Qi Hou saw that they were talking very happily, and felt jealous in his heart, feeling that the husband's cake was not salty and peppery, but sour, so he stuffed the last bite of the cake into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it carelessly, Then stand up and walk over to join in the fun.

Wu Zhengming wanted Peng Zhongshuang to introduce him to see who among the courtiers was qualified for the position, and went to investigate the affairs of the Dou family, but Qi Hou came over.

As soon as Qi Hou walked over, he saw Peng Zhongshuang raised his hand for no reason, covered his mouth, coughed lightly, as if trying to hide his smile, Wu Jiao looked back, and immediately wanted to roll his eyes.

Qihou came over with a snack on his lips, no wonder Peng Zhongshuang, who had always been paralyzed, laughed. Qihou didn't know what was wrong with him, and even put on a special look, asking Peacock to open his tail to compare with Peng Zhongshuang.

Wu Jiu couldn't bear it any longer, so he took out his handkerchief and wiped off the scum on Qihou's mouth. Only then did Qihou realize that he hadn't turned on the screen properly, so he quickly shrank away...

Peng Zhongshuang quickly returned to the topic and said, "Zhongshuang does have a good candidate in his mind."

Wu Jiao said with a smile: "There are not many people who can be recommended by Peng Qing. I don't know what kind of people they are?"

Peng Zhongshuang said respectfully: "It is Si Bai. Your Majesty, Si Bai is the official in charge of our country's picketing. Si Bai Lu Chen himself is upright and jealous of evil. If Wang Shang uses Lu Chen to investigate this matter, he will definitely not let Wang Shang Disappointed."

Although Wu Jiu took office as the new king, and he spent far longer time outside than in the country, he also did research on the state of Chu, and he could remember the names of some important ministers.

Sibai is actually equivalent to Sikou or Da Sili. The official positions in Chu State are different from those in other countries. The officials who manage pickets are called Sibai.

Ruo Luchen is this year's Sibai. When it comes to Ruo Luchen, he is actually a friend with Peng Zhongshuang. To be able to be a friend with Peng Zhongshuang, think about how straightforward his personality is. Peng Zhongshuang didn't shy away from his friend when he recommended him. It is because I feel that Lu Chen is competent.

Speaking of Lu Chen, Na and Peng Zhongshuang are really sympathetic, he is very upright, he has handled countless cases in his hands, he is very smart, but he never accepts bribes, so that people say that he has a bad reputation and thinks he is too mean If you don't understand the world, you will definitely be pulled down one day.

There is another very important reason why Luo Luchen has a bad reputation, and that is that the Luo family and the Dou family are feuds.

Wu Jiu hesitated, and said: "This matter... I have also considered handing it over to Si Bai before, but the Ru family and the Dou family have always been at odds. If this matter is handed over to Si Bai, it may cause dissatisfaction among the Dou family. .”

Peng Zhongshuang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the conflict between the Dou family and the Ruo family is a matter between the Dou family and the Ruo family, and the picketing is the matter of the picketing. These are two completely unrelated matters. Zhong Shuang It's still the same sentence, Lu Chen will definitely not disappoint the king."

Wu Jiu heard that Peng Zhongshuang had confidence in his good friend, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to Lu Chen."

Wu Jiu issued an edict, and Si Bai would handle this matter in person without any mistakes.

Wu Jiu and Peng Zhongshuang had a very happy conversation, not only Qi Hou was jealous, but Pan Chong was also jealous, not Wu Jiu, but jealous Peng Zhongshuang trusted his friend so much and recommended him so strongly, others have heard about it.

Peng Zhongshuang worked in the Political Affairs Hall, and stayed there until very late at night, and did not leave late at night. Seeing that the lights were still on, Pan Chong came in, and said very leisurely, "Yo, someone hasn't left yet."

Peng Zhongshuang looked up at Pan Chong, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Didn't Sima leave too? Could it be that he was waiting for Zhong Shuang?"

Pan Chong's face turned red when he said this, and he said, "Hey, who's waiting for you? I just saw a light here, come in and have a look!"

Peng Zhongshuang looked down at the documents and ignored him. Pan Chong was so angry that he made trouble next to him and asked Peng Zhongshuang what the relationship between Peng Zhongshuang and Lu Chen was.

Peng Zhongshuang couldn't bear to look at the paperwork he was bothered by, and put it on the case with a "snap!", which startled Pan Chong.

Peng Zhongshuang raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said with a paralyzed face, "Lu Chen is my childhood friend. Zhong Shuang and Lu Chen are good friends who grew up together."

Pan Chong listened, hey, that was a jealous heart, one mouthful of Lu Chen, so affectionate, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, angrily dropped the document, turned around to leave, who knew that Peng Zhongshuang stood up suddenly, from He put his arms around Pan Chong on his back, and picked him up. Pan Chong was a military commander, but he was restrained by Peng Zhongshuang's strange force, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Peng Zhongshuang picked him up and put him on the case. Pan Chong said, "What are you doing?"

Peng Zhongshuang laughed and said, "You came to see me so late, isn't it for this kind of thing?"

Pan Chong suddenly looked uneasy, and said: "Why do such things, I just want to see if you died in the Zhengshitang. If you die, I can collect your body, so as not to stink the Zhengshitang!"

Peng Zhongshuang was not annoyed when he heard this. After all, he was facial paralyzed. He didn't laugh very much, and he didn't get angry very much. He put him on the case and said, "I think it's not bad, and I really want to do it."

Pan Chong always thought that Peng Zhongshuang was a nerd, but he always felt that his observation skills were not sharp enough, because Peng Zhongshuang was not a nerd at all.

The next day, the rumored subject, Lu Chen, was ordered to enter the palace. First, he came to the political affairs hall to get some paperwork, when he saw that Peng Zhongshuang, who was having a routine rest, was already there, with Pan Chong beside him.

Pan Chong looked haggard, and fell asleep lying on the desk, with Peng Zhongshuang's robe draped over his shoulders.

Lu Chen walked in, startled, and said, "Is Sima feeling unwell?"

Peng Zhongshuang said: "It's nothing, it's just that Sima was on business last night and was a little tired, so he just fell asleep now."

For some unknown reason, Lu Chen said seriously, "Sima is a role model for me who is dedicated to his duties."

Pan Chong woke up when he heard them say the first sentence, but when he heard the conversation between those two honest people, he, a role model, was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look up.

Lu Chen did not pause, took the documents, and was ready to meet the king of Chu in Lu's palace.

Wu Jiu let Ruo Luchen into the palace today, and wanted to talk about the Dou family. When Wu Jiu and Qihou came to Lu's bedroom, Ruo Luchen was already waiting outside, and he was very punctual.

Wu Jiu said, "Si Bai, please come in."

Soon Lu Chen, dressed in a black official robe, strode towards him from the outside, and Wu Jiao took a closer look at this person.

Although Si Bai was also an official in the court and a senior official, Lu Chen was very low-key and didn't talk much when he was in court, so he gave people a very low sense of presence.

In addition, the Ru family was far less famous than the Dou family and the Peng family, so Wu Jiu didn't pay much attention to this person.

In the history of Lingyin in Chu State, apart from Peng Zhongshuang, Luchen Luchen is actually a rare Lingyin other than the Dou family. The Dou family died of illness amidst the full opposition and condemnation.

Wu Jiao looked at this young man carefully. He was less than 30 years old, about 25 or [-] years old. He was tall, dressed in a black official robe, and his hair was all tied up, making him look like a general. With the elegant temperament of a literati, he strode in from the outside and said respectfully, "Lu Chen pays respects to my king! Pays respects to Duke Qi!"

If this person, Lu Chen, stood with a beautiful man like Peng Zhongshuang, he would definitely not be able to stand out, because he looks quite ordinary, but he is tall and has a good face. After seeing so many beautiful men, Wu Jiao found that This Lu Chen is the most approachable one.

But if you look closely, it is not true. Lu Chen's eyebrows, nose, and mouth are extremely delicate. His eyebrows are sharp like a knife, his starry eyes are shining and deep, his eyes are sharp and cold, his nose bridge is high, and his lips are thin. , it is very delicate and moving when you look closely, but put together, it is covered by your own light, making people look like an ordinary person.

Wu Jiao sized him up without any trace, and said, "Si Bai doesn't need to be polite, please get up."

Lu Chen stood up, and Wu Jiu said, "I think Si Bai already knows why I called Si Bai."

Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Lu Chen understands."

Wu Jiu said: "This matter is very important. It's not that our state of Chu is afraid of the state of Yun. It's just that there are still many princes watching the excitement. So many people are waiting to watch the excitement, so we have to see what Si Bai can do. Has the excitement subsided?"

Lu Chen said, "Lu Chen will not disgrace his life."

Wu Jiu nodded and said, "The widow will give you the authority to go to the post house to meet the chief Yun Ji, and also to go to the Dou family. Do you have any objections?"

Lu Chen did not stutter because of the feud between the Ru family and the Dou family, and said, "Lu Chen receives the imperial edict."

They were talking, when Ziqing came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mo Ao Douqi is asking to see you."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at Ruo Luchen. Dou Qi's entry into the palace at this time was probably aimed at Ruo Luchen.

Lu Chen stood aside, without frowning, as if he didn't hear.

Wu Jiu said, "Please."

Ziqing withdrew, and soon Dou Qi came in. He was dressed in official robes, and came quickly, walking in a hurry. As soon as he came in, he saw Lu Chen, and immediately frowned. He just glanced at Wu Jiu arched his hands and said, "Dou Qi pays homage to my king, and Duke Qi."

Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Why is Dou Qing here? Elder Guo is awake?"

When Dou Qi heard him ask this, he immediately sighed and said, "Go back to the king, brother, he is still awake."

Wu Jiu couldn't help sighing when he heard this, Tang Wu said that Dou Bobi's life was saved, but Dou Bobi lost a lot of blood and hurt his vitals, he might be too weak to wake up, but the more he doesn't wake up, the more The more you can't eat, the weaker you become.

Dou Qi hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Dou Qi has a few words to say. I met the King and talked privately. If you dare, please back away."

As Dou Qi said, he also glanced at Ruo Luchen, Wu Jiu knew that he was lying when he said that he wanted to reject the left and right sides, and that it was Ruo Luchen he wanted to reject.

Wu Jiu waved his hand and said, "Let's all go down first."

Ruo Luchen and the eunuch and maid hurriedly withdrew from the main hall of Lu's bedroom, but Qihou was very conscious and didn't seem to want to retreat at all.

Dou Qi knew about Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi, so he had no choice but to cup his hands and say, "Your Majesty, please think twice, the Luo family has had an enmity with our Dou family for generations, if this matter is entrusted to the Luo family to investigate, I'm afraid ..."

When Wu Jiu heard what he said, he raised his hand and said, "Dou Qing, you are too worried. The widow entrusted this matter to the Si Bai who is in charge of the picketing, not the Lin family who has a grudge against the Dou family."

In fact, when it comes to the Ruo family and the Dou family, many years ago the two families were family friends, and they were not hostile to each other like this.

The Dou family of the Ruo Ao family is the biggest force in the entire state of Chu. Many people are attached to the Ruo Ao family, including the Ruo family.

However, later King Xiong Pei of Chu wanted to weaken the Dou family, so he removed Dou Qi from the position of Ling Yin, named him Mo Ao, and reused Baoshen as Ling Yin. In this way, the Luo family understood what Xiong Pei meant , He took the initiative to make a kiss with the king of Chu, Xiong Pei.

Chu Wang Xionglai used the Luo family to suppress the power of the Dou family. The Dou family thought that the Luo family was a treacherous villain. In turn, suppress the fighters.

In this way, the Dou family and the Ru family naturally became enmity. The Ru family believed that they were loyal to the king of Chu and had no fault. Feng Yang violated, completely unbelievable.

After Lu Chen took office, he faced heavy blows, most of which came from fighters, and the other half came from other parties that followed suit.

Although Wu Jiu said so, Dou Qi was still worried. Wu Jiu said: "I believe that Si Bai can abide by the law. Dou Qing might as well urge Si Bai. If Si Bai has any personal grievances, Dou Qing can immediately inform the widow. No favoritism for patronage."

Seeing that Wu Jiu had made up his mind, Dou Qi had no choice but to cup his hands and say, "Yes, Dou Qi obeys."

Wu Jiu nodded and said: "The old man still has Lai Douqing to take care of him, Dou Qing should go back quickly."

Dou Qi quickly resigned. Seeing how hard Wu Jiu was working so hard, Marquis Qi couldn't help but came over and squeezed his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Second Brother really worked hard. In comparison, I feel that Qi State is still very peaceful, at least Not so many parties?"

It gives Wu Jiu a headache to mention this. The development of Chu State is surrounded by various solid parties. Although the members of the Doujia are so loyal, they will also protect their own parties and interests. After all, politics is exclusive, and each group pinches it. It's a mess, and it's very annoying.

Dou Qi frowned and exited the main hall of the Lu Palace, only to see Lu Chen standing outside. Dou Qi didn't want to talk to him and wanted to leave directly, but suddenly Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "Lord Mo Ao, Lu Chen knows What's on your mind."

Dou Qi listened to this, and finally stood still, looking back at Lu Chen, Dou Qi is the most prestigious backbone minister in the court, and the current leader of the Dou Family, although Lu Chen is defeated, despite his stature Tall, but in front of him is a junior.

And this junior seemed neither humble nor overbearing, and when he saw Dou Qi, a powerful minister, he didn't mean to flatter or disdain him.

Dou Qi frowned and didn't speak, Lu Luchen said: "The matter between the Luo family and the Dou family is a personal grievance. Lu Chen is fortunate to be valued by the king. The assassination of the elders of the state will never be accompanied by personal grievances. Please Mo Ao rest assured."

Dou Qi sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Then I hope Sir Si Bai will remember what he said today, so don't break his promise."

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and walked away immediately.

Lu Luchen looked at Dou Qi who was leaving in a hurry, then turned his head and walked into Lu's bedroom.

Lu Chen bowed his hands to Wu Jiu and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday Lu Chen had already read the documents of the assassination, made a general investigation, and wanted to report something to the Majesty."

Wu Jiu didn't expect that Lu Chen, who had just received the edict yesterday and entered the palace today, would already have found something, so he said, "What is it?"

Lu Chen said: "Lu Chen found out that the eunuch who committed suicide by taking poison was actually not a native of Yun, but a Pu refugee who flowed into Yun from the south."

Wu Jiu was taken aback, and exchanged a glance with Qi Hou, Qi Hou also frowned, there was something strange in both of them, vaguely felt that this matter might not be that simple.

Ruo Luchen started to investigate this matter yesterday. Although the eunuch who committed the murder committed suicide by taking poison, Ruo Luchen still went to see the corpse himself, and then investigated the eunuch who had no evidence of his death.

Luo Luchen was surprised to find that this eunuch was not a native of Yun State. Yun State was in the northwest of Chu State, but this eunuch was from Pu nationality in the south of Chu State.

There are barbarians in the south of the state of Chu, who are called Baipu by the state of Zhou. Because these barbarians have no country, they live in towns and are very primitive. They have not been baptized by the culture of the Central Plains, and they are called Pu people. There are so many towns, so it is called Baipu.

This eunuch was from the Pu nationality in the south of the state of Chu. He came to the state of Yun because of exile, and was later accepted as an eunuch by Chang Yunji.

When Lu Chen found out about this, he suddenly realized that the matter was not simple, so he and Wu Jiu wanted to go out together.

Wu Jiu and Qi Hou thought more, because they knew about the relationship between Dou Bobi and Chang Yunji. It was impossible for Chang Yunji to assassinate Dou Bobi, and it was impossible for the eunuchs around him to assassinate Dou Bobi. Someone deliberately framed Chang Yunji.
