Daming Wuhou
Chapter 214
"This is Mr. Lu, right?" The woman looked as if she wanted to jump on Lu Changting's body.
"It's me." Lu Changting couldn't help looking at Zhu Biao while speaking, and Zhu Biao said in a low voice at the same time, "This is Mrs. Xin Guogong."
"So it's the Duke's wife." Lu Changting immediately made a salute.Lu Changting glanced at the people standing outside Duke Xin's mansion, most of them were female relatives, and few were male.It seems that it is really the same as in history, Xin Guogong Tang has more than a hundred concubines, but his heirs are extremely thin.
"Go in." Zhu Biao said behind him.
Mrs. Xin Guogong didn't say much anymore, and hurriedly welcomed them in.After stepping through the door, Lu Changting almost understood the smell.What made Emperor Hongwu call him so eagerly was probably because of Feng Shui.As for why they didn't call Qin Tianjian... Lu Changting sighed in his heart, they used themselves as a convenient and easy-to-use brick.
As soon as he entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Lu Changting stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Biao asked.
As soon as Zhu Biao made a sound, all the others immediately looked at Lu Changting.Lu Changting waved his hand: "Let's go in first."
Then everyone looked away reluctantly.
This feeling of being counted on by many people really made Lu Changting a little uncomfortable for a while.If it's anything else, it's fine, Mrs. Xin Guogong's eyes are red, and she looks haggard, which is really unbearable.
"Come on, come in." Mrs. Xinguo ushered them into the yard.
After entering the inner courtyard, Lu Changting saw a familiar figure.
Isn't that Wu Guanxuan?Why is he here?Since something like this happened in the Xinguo Mansion, it shouldn't be possible for everyone to come, right?Except for those who are close to the government of Xinguo, others probably cannot appear here.
Wu Guanxuan also saw him. Seeing Lu Changting's gaze, Wu Guanxuan raised his head slightly and gave Lu Changting a faint smile.
Lu Changting looked away, and did not exchange eyes with Wu Guanxuan much.After all, Wu Guanxuan is not important right now.It is more worthy of concern about what the Duke of Xin has become.
"Lu Yuanshi, please." Mrs. Xin Guogong pushed open the door in front of her, motioning for Lu Changting to follow in.
Zhu Biao walked beside Lu Changting, and the two entered the door together.As soon as he entered the door, Lu Changting immediately smelled an unpleasant smell.Tanghe is not young anymore, the elderly often have an old smell on them, and when a person is sick, the smell will be even more unpleasant, not to mention the smell when the doors and windows are closed and there is no air circulation. ... All kinds of things mixed together almost scared Lu Changting out.
Of course, Lu Changting still walked steadily. He stepped into the door, then walked around the screen, and then saw Tang He on the bed.
Tang He is nearly seventy years old, his hair is gray, his skin is slack, all crowded together, his face is full of wrinkles, his face looks extremely haggard, and his whole body exudes a feeling of coming soon. The smell of wood.But even so, Lu Changting can still see a bit of fortitude from the face of this aging veteran.
Although he was ill, he never lost his bearing.
Lu Changting secretly sighed, and then asked Mrs. Xin Guogong, "What does the doctor say?"
Mrs. Xin Guo raised her hand and wiped her tears: "What else can I do? It is said that his body is extremely weak and he is hopeless, so we just need to prepare for his funeral... But his illness really came on suddenly, and he is said to be like this No way, how can we accept it?"
Lu Changting thought to himself, for an old man of this age, the sudden onset of illness is actually not considered sudden.After all, at this age, various organs are aging, and most of them are accompanied by some diseases that are prone to acute attacks, which are usually invisible, but once they occur, they will kill people.In this day and age, there are not many advanced equipment for examinations, so people usually look like a healthy person, but when they are sick, they appear abnormally suddenly.
It must have been difficult for Duke Xinguo's mansion to accept it, and then he begged Emperor Hongwu to invite an imperial doctor, and then Zhu Biao and Emperor Hongwu thought of Fengshui.
"Madam, please call the doctor." Lu Changting walked to the bed and stopped, and said calmly.
"Okay, okay..." Mrs. Xin Guogong replied with all her mouth, and hurriedly turned around and asked someone to invite the doctor to come.Because Lu Changting is only a sixth-rank official, there is no slightest contempt at all.
During the period when the doctor came, Lu Changting was not idle either. He bent down slightly and carefully looked at the anger covering Duke Xin Guo's face.When Lu Changting was about to size up, the doctor happened to arrive.In order to avoid omissions, Lu Changting asked Xin Guogong's physical condition in detail before asking them to send the doctor away.
Tang He's body may not all be caused by feng shui, but the feng shui of Duke Xin's mansion is indeed different.
Those who can attack Duke Xin's mansion must be people who are close to Duke Xin...Of course, this guess is unnecessary right now, just tell Zhu Biao and Emperor Hongwu when we go back.
Mrs. Xin Guogong couldn't help asking: "Lu Yuanshi, how are you?"
"The smell in this room is weird..." Lu Changting paused, and said, "Madam, please order someone to open the doors and windows."
"What are you worried about? My grandfather is obviously seriously ill, how can he open the doors and windows to let the evil wind invade?" At this time, an untimely voice sounded.Lu Changting was not angry either, he just looked over at the person who came.It's just a young boy, Lu Changting only took a glance and then looked away, because this person is really not worthy of his attention.
"Shut up, where have you learned all the rules and etiquette?" Mrs. Xin Guogong was quite dignified, and immediately scolded the boy with a straight face.Mrs. Xin Guogong has reached this age, and her vision is naturally different. Although she is anxious at this juncture, she has not lost her basic calmness and reason.She believed in the prince and Emperor Hongwu.Of course, she had no other choice.
Mrs. Xin Guogong cast a cold glance at her grandson, feeling a little headache, why is this grandson so blank.Why did the Tang family have such a child...
After Mrs. Xin Guogong's wife reprimanded her, Lu Changting finally said: "There is a lot of foul smell in the house, which makes it difficult for me to distinguish the source of the smell. That's why I have to open the doors and windows."
Mrs. Xin Guogong saw that Lu Changting had even specially explained a few words, and the expression on her face became softer: "Come here, open the door and window quickly..."
Zhu Biao walked to Lu Changting's side, and his expression softened.If Mrs. Xin Guogong didn't make a sound just now, he would have a fit.
"How?" Zhu Biao asked.
"The Feng Shui of the Tang family is indeed different." As soon as Lu Changting finished speaking, Zhu Biao's expression changed immediately.
Soon, the doors and windows were opened, and fresh air flowed in, gradually dispelling the foul smell in the room. Lu Changting finally felt a lot of refreshment in his nose, and even raised his mood to a higher level.The displeasure of being found in a hurry completely disappeared from my heart.The room was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting for Lu Changting to speak.The boy who spoke rudely before was now full of disdain.
In fact, only when the air in the room is fresh will the source of that peculiar smell become clearer.If the whole house is full of strange smells, it must be difficult to find the source of the smell.
Lu Changting closed his eyes and sniffed, and quickly determined the source.
He looked at the bottom of Tanghe's bed.
"What's on the bottom?" Lu Changting asked.After asking, Lu Changting found that their expressions were somewhat awkward. "Can you take it out?" Lu Changting asked.Then he saw their expressions became more embarrassed, Lu Changting's thoughts changed suddenly, and he immediately understood what it was.The one that was placed under the bed and gave off a strange smell could only be...the chamber pot.
Lu Changting lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There is a filthy atmosphere in the house, and as it gets stronger, it will turn into a deadly atmosphere, and it will directly threaten Duke Xin's life. And this filth...is here."
Mrs. Xin Guogong was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "But, but these many people let it go like this. Why, how, why did they get filthy?"
"Those families may not have been affected. If young people are strong and strong, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is an old person, the harm will be great." After Lu Changting finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "What's more There are other means here."
"What other means?" Mrs. Xin Guo asked immediately, her face was full of worry.
"There are other things in it, making the foul smell even stronger, and getting stronger every day!"
Mrs. Xin Guo's face turned pale: "Come here, come... Take out the things under the bed!"
Immediately, two strong servants came forward, knelt down beside the bed, and bent down to fetch the things under the bed.Looking at this scene, Lu Changting couldn't help sighing, playing tricks under the bed is something that many people love to do.But thanks to their preference, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to find.
Mrs. Xin Guogong sighed and said: "Guogong is too old to wake up at night, especially when he is sick, he can't catch cold, so this is the only thing we can use."
After the words were finished, the servant had already taken out the chamber pot, and an unpleasant smell came over his face immediately.Lu Changting frowned and said, "There is blood inside."
"What?" Mrs. Xin Guo was slightly dumbfounded: "Blood? Blood?! How could there be blood? Could it be... Could it be him..." Her voice was not only surprised, but even trembling.Obviously, Mrs. Xin Guogong's first thought was that Xin Guogong's condition had worsened.
"This blood does not belong to Lord Xinguo."
Hearing what Lu Changting said, Mrs. Xin Guogong let out a sigh of relief.
"Filthy things include blood. What kind of blood is filthy blood? According to Feng Shui, if you use the blood of an adulterous woman to give birth, add the blood of the wicked who burned, killed, and looted, and the blood of the wolf-hearted Blood, the blood of a person suffering from a serious disease... Mixed together, it is the most filthy thing in the world, if this blood is used to spread in the house, there will be more bloody disasters in the house, and the owner of the house will also be seriously ill from now on." After Lu Changting finished speaking, he deliberately paused, and he looked at the people around him, scrutinizing the expressions on their faces without any trace.If it was the person who did it, he would not be able to easily hide it from him, and there would always be traces of it.
It's just a pity that after looking around like this, I didn't find anything.
Lu Changting had no choice but to close his eyes, and continued: "Everyone should know that when building a house, it is absolutely impossible to build the thatched house opposite the main house."
"Yes, there is such a reason..." Mrs. Xinguo said.Today's younger generations have never experienced any hardships, and of course they don't know what needs to be paid attention to in the construction of the house, but Mrs. Xinguo knows it.This is what people pay attention to when they build houses.
"This is to prevent the filthy atmosphere from flooding the house." Lu Changting paused, and then said: "When a hut is built, the ground must not be higher than the rest of the house. As the saying goes, water flows downhill, and so does the air. .If the hut is higher, the filth will flow to other houses. This principle is hidden in the small rules. How harmful is the filth to people? The filth will give birth to evil spirits. This evil is bad for people's passing years... Just this point makes people fear. What's more, this filthy thing is still placed under the bed of Xin Guogong, and it is a companion day and night..."
Mrs. Xin Guogong's face turned pale, and she murmured: "Isn't this forcing the Duke to die?"
"Exactly... Lord Xinguo is already weak and old, how can he withstand such an impact?"
Various emotions flashed across Mrs. Xinguo's face, including fear, anger, and fear... Finally, the expression on her face was fixed on gratitude: "Lu Yuanshi, if it weren't for you, the whole of Xinguo's mansion would be a mess. I really don't know what to do, I'm afraid I will really have to prepare for the Duke's funeral... Thank you so much today..." Speaking of Xin Guogong's wife, she even bowed to Lu Changting.
Lu Changting was slightly surprised that he really didn't expect Mrs. Xin Guogong to be so willing to give up her status.
If it is someone else, he will accept it, after all, it is indeed his own ability in exchange for it.But the one in front of him was an old lady with full hair. Seeing her trembling and bowing to him, Lu Changting immediately followed suit and bowed slightly: "Madam, there is no need to be like this... Duke Xin has dedicated his life to Ming. It is his duty to come and treat him." He didn't bother to take the credit, rather it was the result of Emperor Hongwu's compassion for the veteran.
Mrs. Xin Guo raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Since that's the case, is there any help?" After speaking, she looked at Lu Changting expectantly.
"I don't dare to say that the Duke will be cured, but the crux has been found, so I can try my best to solve the problem." After all, the object is a Duke, and Tang He is still so old, of course Lu Changting dare not He fully agreed, and directly guaranteed the ticket to Mrs. Xin Guogong.
A look of disappointment flashed across Mrs. Xin Guogong's face, but she finally calmed down, nodded and said: "Yes, then it will be hard work for Mr. Lu Yuan, no matter what the outcome is, today's great kindness, the old man and everyone in Xin Guogong's house It is engraved in my heart! I will never dare to forget half a point in the future!"
Mrs. Xin Guogong is really a smart person. She wants to urge Lu Changting to do his best, but she can't speak so bluntly, which will make Lu Changting unhappy, so she said this to show that she remembers her kindness first. Attitude... It is always better to plead and remind with a gesture of gratitude than a gesture of threat...
Lu Changting nodded, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to say thank you. If Madam wants to thank you, please thank Your Majesty and the Crown Prince."
Mrs. Xin Guogong immediately knelt down and thanked the royal family for her kindness...
It's just that Mrs. Xin Guo trusts Lu Changting so much and treats Lu Changting so courteously, but it doesn't mean that everyone else does the same.
The young boy seemed to have found a place to make a fuss again, and immediately taunted him: "Grandma don't believe him, he speaks decently, but you talk nonsense with a potty...Grandpa is seriously ill, how could it be?" Is it because of this?"
Lu Changting glanced at him: "If you don't believe me, you can take this thing and put it under the bed. After sleeping for ten and a half months, you will naturally feel it..." He will be polite to Mrs. Xin Guogong, one is Because the old lady treated him very politely, and secondly because the other party's status was not low.But what is this kid?Not to mention no etiquette, but he is a grandson of the Duke's mansion, and he is nothing if he has not been a prince!Lu Changting can completely look down on him, so naturally, the tone of his speech is not polite at all.
The young man said angrily: "You said this, what is there to be afraid of? I will take it! But if it takes ten and a half months, there will be no effect at all..." The young man sneered: "You will have to kneel outside our government's mansion He kowtowed and said loudly that he was a liar! How dare you?" The young man finished speaking in one breath, feeling extremely elated, as if he had never been so majestic.
The Duke's mansion fell into a dead silence, and no one dared to speak at this moment.
Only then did the young man break away from his complacency, he looked around blankly, and found that everyone lowered their heads slightly, as if they didn't dare to speak anymore, even his grandmother didn't speak anymore.The young man was slightly annoyed, what does it matter?It's just because of this surname Lu's face, why are they so silent?This is the mansion of the Duke of Xinguo, so how can the surname Lu still be rampant here?
The words floating in the boy's mind seemed to be convincing himself.
He was not very old, and when he suddenly saw that everyone was silent, he was still a little scared in his heart.
The boy couldn't help but look in another direction.
Lu Changting stood there, looking at the young man with slightly raised eyebrows, showing surprise.Is this kid really not afraid of death?
The young man looked at Lu Changting's neither humble nor overbearing demeanor, and suddenly felt a deeper revulsion in his heart. I forced him into this state...why didn't he speak?
The Duke's mansion was extremely quiet, Mrs. Xin Guogong swallowed hard and was about to speak.
The prince who had never spoken at the side spoke suddenly: "Who is he?"
"He is the eldest grandson of the old man, Tang Sheng." Mrs. Xin Guogong hurriedly bowed and said, when she straightened up, there was still a look of fear and shame on Mrs. Xin Guogong's face.
Is this how the eldest grandson looks like?Lu Changting couldn't help but feel sorry for Xin Guogong's mansion.If the eldest grandson has this virtue, is it still far from the decline of the family?Of course, as a matter of fact, the back of Xin Guogong's mansion is also really weakened.This has something to do with Xin Guogong's male Ding Yi's early death.
Only then did Lu Changting calmly say: "Then do as you say." Anyway, it wasn't that the thing was placed under his bed, and it wasn't him who harmed it.
Mrs. Xin Guogong's wife turned pale with shock: "Lu Yuanshi, my grandson is really ignorant, please don't argue with him..."
Lu Changting waved his hand: "Needless to say, let's talk about trusting the Duke..." This Tang Sheng is really not a smart person, and Lu Changting is too lazy to talk about this person.
Duke Xinguo's mansion was entirely supported by Duke Xin, so naturally he was more important. Mrs. Xinguo pursed her lips, but she still kept her mouth shut.
"The best thing is that every day when Duke Xin wants to get up at night, you help him up to go to the toilet. If it is really inconvenient and you can only use this thing, then you can replace it with a new one and put it in the house, dump it out and wash it every now and then. It is best to trust people close to Duke Guo to do this, and don’t pretend to be others. The doors and windows must not be closed too tightly, and the air in the room must be dredged. Then ask two or three doctors to recuperate... Will it be good after this? We'll have to wait and see..." After that, Lu Changting added lightly: "Of course, believe it or not, it's up to you..."
Zhu Biao saw Lu Changting's impatience. He knew Lu Changting's arrogance. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said, "Let's stop here today. I and Lu Yuanshi will leave first. Mrs. Take good care of Duke Xin."
"Don't dare dare not dare... My wife sent the prince and Lu Yuanshi away..." After speaking, Mrs. Xin Guogong sent them out tremblingly.
After sending people away, Mrs. Xin Guogong turned around.A junior next to him couldn't help asking: "This...how should I deal with this?"
"Just do what Lu Yuanshi said."
Tang Sheng was the first to refuse: "Grandma!"
"Shut up, don't take the whole Duke's mansion into it!"
Tang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Look at it, I can definitely prove that what that surnamed Lu said is all nonsense!"
"Are you crazy? Look at your grandfather who is still on the hospital bed, and you have acted so recklessly. If you are included in it, are you going to make grandma cry blind?" Mrs. Xin Guogong scolded, gnashing her teeth.
After all, Tang Sheng was young and energetic, he didn't dare to say anything, after the crowd dispersed, he secretly exchanged the chamber pot from the servants to his room, and placed it under the bed.
After doing this, Tang Sheng came out and met Wu Guanxuan, he said with a smile: "Cousin, I will make sure that Lu can't say a single sophistry at that time!"
Wu Guanxuan shook his head with a smile: "Nonsense, why don't you leave now?"
"I'm not!"
At that moment, Tang Sheng felt that his cousin's eyes seemed to turn cold, but when he looked closely, there was nothing there.Is it an illusion?
"I can't control you, just come to me when you have something to do, I have some friendship with that Lu Changting, and I can save you then..."
Hearing this, Tang Sheng immediately overturned the teacup angrily, and said, "Cousin is still friends with this person? Then you don't need to talk about it anymore, you can go!"
Wu Guanxuan shook his head and walked out helplessly.
……
In this compartment, after Lu Changting and Zhu Biao came out from Xin Guogong's mansion, they got into the carriage together.
"Chang Ting doesn't need to be angry with this person." As soon as he got into the carriage, Zhu Biao said these words first, "If Chang Ting still feels unhappy, he can let go of it without any scruples."
Although Zhu Biao's words gave Lu Changting enough support, but Lu Changting would not seriously go out of his way.He shook his head and said: "This Tang Sheng is really stupid, why should I argue with him and lower my IQ?"
Zhu Biao smiled lightly: "It's good not to be angry with this person."
There was a sudden silence in the carriage.
Lu Changting couldn't help looking at Zhu Biao, was he planning something?
"Chang Ting thinks that this matter is caused by the White Lotus Sect?"
coming!
It turned out that what Zhu Biao wanted to ask was this.No wonder... No wonder Zhu Biao and Emperor Hongwu were so anxious.Although the intervals between Fengshui incidents in Yingtian Mansion were long enough, the placement of these piles together was already astonishing enough.After all, the target of their attack is not the prince, but the grandson of the emperor, and now it is even in the house of the founding veteran... If even a person of such status cannot be spared, think about it carefully, wouldn't it be terrible?
Emperor Hongwu was so anxious, not necessarily because he was worried about Tang He's life.With lips dead and teeth cold, Emperor Hongwu was worried about the entire royal family, the entire Yingtian, and even his own Daming Jiangshan... Ants may not be able to shake an elephant, but if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.How could Emperor Hongwu not care about such weird things?
Lu Changting said lightly: "It's hard to tell, but the person who can harm the Duke of Xin must be someone very close to him, let's investigate first."
Zhu Biao nodded, and then seemed to be in deep thought.
Lu Changting thought of Wu Guanxuan, so he hurriedly asked: "Brother, do you know who Wu Guanxuan is?"
"Wu Guanxuan, oh...Xin Ke Scholars? He seems to have joined the Ministry of Officials? What's wrong?"
"I just saw him at Duke Xinguo's mansion, and I was a little curious as to why he appeared there."
Zhu Biao pondered for a while, and said: "Mrs. Xin Guogong's surname is Wu..."
Lu Changting immediately understood.If there is no accident, this Wu Guanxuan should be the nephew of Mrs. Xin Guogong's natal family.Just this identity alone, is it enough to make him respond to all the questions?Lu Changting was a little puzzled.But such characters, no matter how powerful they are, are not worthy of the prince's attention. Presumably there is nothing more to ask from Zhu Biao.Lu Changting didn't speak again.
And Zhu Biao on the other side also pondered again.
The carriage did not take Lu Changting home directly, but took him to the palace instead.
When getting off the carriage, Zhu Biao smiled: "Father is still waiting for news from us."
Lu Changting suppressed the urge to yawn, knowing that today he had to meet Emperor Hongwu.Soon, they entered the hall, Emperor Hongwu looked tired, but he didn't look depressed at all.As soon as he saw them enter the door, Emperor Hongwu immediately looked over with burning eyes.
"How?" Hong Wudi asked.
These two words made Lu Changting's ears almost callused today, but facing Emperor Hongwu, he was still respectful, and explained the whole process in great detail and without omission.
On the way, Emperor Hongwu changed two sitting positions because of lack of energy.
"Thank you Changting." Emperor Hongwu said kindly.
"It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to His Majesty." Lu Changting bowed.
Emperor Hongwu smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then I will leave it to you to take charge of this matter, and I will order someone to assist you in private." Having said this, the smile on Emperor Hongwu's face suddenly disappeared: "Be sure to take care of this matter." Thoroughly investigate the matter, and catch the members of the White Lotus Sect who are lurking in the court and in the homes of the ministers!"
Lu Changting knew this would be the result, so he was not surprised at all.
But... to be honest, to investigate these things, your old man's Jinyiwei is better!It's just a coincidence that just after Jinyiwei was withdrawn, something like this happened... Lu Changting lowered his head and thought for a while, now he is a courtier of Emperor Hongwu, and if he can do things for Emperor Hongwu now, if he can't do it well, he can just leave Can't get past it.So he has to accept this matter, but he also has to seek benefits for himself!
Seeing that Lu Changting didn't respond for a long time, Emperor Hong Wu couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Changting thinks this is difficult?"
Lu Changting nodded, and then said: "Although it is difficult, you must always share the worries for your majesty and the prince. Your majesty once set up Jinyiwei, and they are better at this than Changting. Although the Jinyiwei has been abolished, Changting still dares to beg your majesty to send two Give me one, so that Changting can dig out the black hands behind this scene in one fell swoop."
Emperor Hongwu looked at him fixedly, but did not speak immediately.
Jin Yiwei has been abolished, and Lu Changting's important person is really a bold act, but Lu Changting really wants two people from Jin Yiwei, this is the highest configuration!How much trouble can be saved if you can get it!
On this matter, Lu Changting believed that Emperor Hongwu would compromise in the end.
The hall fell silent for a while.
Lu Changting himself was very indifferent, but Zhu Biao was a little anxious for him: "Father, if you want to investigate the White Lotus Sect, you can't rely on Changting alone. If there is an old Jinyi Guard who is willing to help Changting, it will definitely be more effective!"
Emperor Hongwu glanced at Lu Changting, and said indifferently: "People can give it to you, but you are not allowed to disclose it." In addition, for public and private use... Emperor Hongwu is not worried.After all, although Jin Yiwei was abolished, these people are still in his hands.Of course, Lu Changting wouldn't do such a thing if he thought about it.
Lu Changting happily thanked him.
"Go." Hong Wudi said.
"I'll see you off." Zhu Biao smiled.
Lu Changting nodded and followed Zhu Biao out.After a day of tossing, Zhu Biao's face turned pale, but his spirit was surprisingly good.
He personally sent Lu Changting back to the house before leaving.
On the second day, as soon as Lu Changting woke up, Gong Yue knocked on the door.She and the other two girls came in with hot water and respectfully waited on Lu Changting to wash up. The third son stood at the door and said, "Two people came outside and said they were sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Lu Changting stood there, feeling a bit like an old man.
It's just that Gongyue and the other three on the opposite side of him suddenly became tense, and Chunxia asked timidly: "Is it because the servants are not serving you well?"
Lu Changting waved his hand, and he went out after he was fully dressed.
There were two people standing at the door, one was tall and slender, and the other was tall and tall.Lu Changting always looked familiar, and when he got closer, he took a look.The former was born with a jade face and handsome, while the latter was born majestic and rough.These two were Zhang Xingyu, who had dealt with several times before, and... Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, who had met once.
That's all for Zhang Xingyu...
Lu Changting secretly exclaimed, the former commander of Jinyiwei gave it to me!
Lu Changting was still a little erratic at that moment.It's fine for Jin Yiwei to run errands for him, and the commander also comes to run errands. This kind of treatment...is really a bit high!
Of course, from another level, it will be easier for him to complete this task.
Lu Changting smiled faintly, and strode towards the two of them again: "Zhang Qianhu, Commander Mao."
Zhang Xingyu glanced at him, slightly surprised, but then returned to his normal expression.It was Mao Xiang who spoke first: "Now you are no longer a commanding officer, just call me Big Brother Mao. You are a sixth-rank origin scholar, so calling me like this is considered an advantage of me."
Lu Changting's heart moved slightly, and he said, it's really you who took advantage of me.
There is no such person as him in history, and of course he would not have asked to call two Jin Yiwei to come to his side, and Mao Xiang happened to be there.You must know that Mao Xiang died not long ago in history.Mao Xiang participated in the Hu Weiyong case back then, and this big case lasted until the 23rd or 24th year of Hongwu, when Mao Xiang died.
But now that Mao Xiang followed him, it was difficult to die.
But even though he thought so in his heart, Lu Changting said with a smile on his face: "Brother Mao has broken me, please, please come in."
Zhang Xingyu glanced at him and said, "Then call me Brother Zhang too."
Lu Changting: ...
Why are you rushing to be his big brother?
But think about it, after all, he is also a thousand households of Jinyiwei, so it is not a loss for him to call him big brother.It's just that this person is far behind the eldest brother of the prince.
Thinking about working with them for a long time, Lu Changting changed his words politely: "Brother Zhang."
Gongyue and the other three saw that there were two men coming in, and they blushed immediately, but no one was nervous anymore.
Seeing this, Lu Changting didn't reprimand them.What a slave or a handmaid expects is to serve his master well, to be favored and appreciated by the master, and only then will he have the time to stand out.The three of Gongyue pay special attention to these things, but it's only human nature.Besides, there's nothing wrong with them paying attention.The more he cares in his heart, the more thoughtful he will be in serving him.
After people served tea and snacks, Lu Changting immediately waved them away.
The third son and Xiaoxiao had met Zhang Xingyu before, so of course they knew that the person sitting here was the former Jinyiwei, they were horrified, they all shut their mouths tightly, and silently backed away, waiting for the person inside to finish speaking.
Lu Changting first told them about the White Lotus Sect.
Mao Xiang praised: "I never thought of Mr. Lu, oh no, Scholar Lu Yuan has such a skill, he can also break through the secrets of Feng Shui!"
Lu Changting was a little dumbfounded.Also occult?How can it be so mysterious!
Zhang Xingyu said from the side: "He has always been so good."
Lu Changting looked at Zhang Xingyu in surprise, is he praising himself?
Mao Xiang asked in surprise, "You know each other?"
"Some festivals." Zhang Xingyu said: "Back then I was ordered to send King Yan back to Beiping, so I met him on the way and bumped into him accidentally..."
Mao Xiang also blamed: "That's because you are wrong, how can it be considered as a holiday? I sincerely apologize, Lu Yuanshi forgives you, and you can let it go."
Lu Changting blinked and glanced at Zhang Xingyu. There was no trace of resentment in Zhang Xingyu's eyes, but why did he deliberately use the word "festival" to describe their friendship?Is it... is it intentional to hide the relationship between them?After all, it was not a secret that he had bumped into people from Jinyiwei, and it could be easily investigated.
In fact, it would be a good thing if we could keep this secret friendship.
Lu Changting was very cooperative and said: "I didn't forgive him. After all, I was young at the time, so I was frightened and hurt. How could I forgive him so easily?" After all, Lu Changting Also snorted lightly.
Mao Xiang said with a smile: "It's just that it was young and energetic at that time. Now that we are sitting together, let's put aside the festival..."
Lu Changting blinked and didn't answer the words, but Wen Sheng turned the topic in another direction.
Mao Xiang and the two came here really well prepared, and they quickly gave the suspects information...these people's lives were recorded in detail.
"It's just that some places haven't been checked in detail." Mao Xiang said with a smile.Although he said so on his lips, the smile on his face was extremely confident.Clearly, he believed in his abilities and was proud of it.
Lu Changting really admired it. In such an era, it is really not easy to verify a person's life... What's more, there are dozens of people's lives in front of us now!
But then Lu Changting also felt a headache, because in the end all these materials had to be read under his nose.He doesn't want anyone to slip through the cracks, but equally, he doesn't want good people to be wronged.The most criticized thing about Jin Yiwei is the cruelty of the prison. Even an innocent person can turn you into a guilty one, and countless people have been killed in vain!
Lu Changting is unwilling to take such a path, so he has to maintain a higher vigilance.
Putting away these materials, Lu Changting asked his third son to come in and arrange a place for them.
Zhang Xingyu and Zhang Xingyu will follow him as bodyguards.
Lu Changting also thought it was pretty good, Jin Yiwei's fighting power was extraordinary, it was extremely safe to be by his side, and he didn't have to worry about retaliation from the White Lotus Sect.
After arranging their residence, Lu Changting went back to the house by himself and looked at those things slowly.
In this way, it took several days of work before I finished reading it.
Because of having such a thing in his chest, gradually, Lu Changting's eyes and psychology when he looked at the ministers in the court and central government had slight changes.It's really not a good thing to know too many other people's secrets.Lu Changting always felt strange in his heart.Even if it wasn't him who was pulled away, he still had a weird feeling of being naked.
After the time was over, Lu Changting walked out of the imperial city slowly, and saw Wu Guanxuan who was waiting for him.
Wu Guanxuan glanced at the guards following him, a little surprised: "Where did Yuan Chi invite this person? Look at it, it's true."
"It's me." Lu Changting couldn't help looking at Zhu Biao while speaking, and Zhu Biao said in a low voice at the same time, "This is Mrs. Xin Guogong."
"So it's the Duke's wife." Lu Changting immediately made a salute.Lu Changting glanced at the people standing outside Duke Xin's mansion, most of them were female relatives, and few were male.It seems that it is really the same as in history, Xin Guogong Tang has more than a hundred concubines, but his heirs are extremely thin.
"Go in." Zhu Biao said behind him.
Mrs. Xin Guogong didn't say much anymore, and hurriedly welcomed them in.After stepping through the door, Lu Changting almost understood the smell.What made Emperor Hongwu call him so eagerly was probably because of Feng Shui.As for why they didn't call Qin Tianjian... Lu Changting sighed in his heart, they used themselves as a convenient and easy-to-use brick.
As soon as he entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Lu Changting stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Biao asked.
As soon as Zhu Biao made a sound, all the others immediately looked at Lu Changting.Lu Changting waved his hand: "Let's go in first."
Then everyone looked away reluctantly.
This feeling of being counted on by many people really made Lu Changting a little uncomfortable for a while.If it's anything else, it's fine, Mrs. Xin Guogong's eyes are red, and she looks haggard, which is really unbearable.
"Come on, come in." Mrs. Xinguo ushered them into the yard.
After entering the inner courtyard, Lu Changting saw a familiar figure.
Isn't that Wu Guanxuan?Why is he here?Since something like this happened in the Xinguo Mansion, it shouldn't be possible for everyone to come, right?Except for those who are close to the government of Xinguo, others probably cannot appear here.
Wu Guanxuan also saw him. Seeing Lu Changting's gaze, Wu Guanxuan raised his head slightly and gave Lu Changting a faint smile.
Lu Changting looked away, and did not exchange eyes with Wu Guanxuan much.After all, Wu Guanxuan is not important right now.It is more worthy of concern about what the Duke of Xin has become.
"Lu Yuanshi, please." Mrs. Xin Guogong pushed open the door in front of her, motioning for Lu Changting to follow in.
Zhu Biao walked beside Lu Changting, and the two entered the door together.As soon as he entered the door, Lu Changting immediately smelled an unpleasant smell.Tanghe is not young anymore, the elderly often have an old smell on them, and when a person is sick, the smell will be even more unpleasant, not to mention the smell when the doors and windows are closed and there is no air circulation. ... All kinds of things mixed together almost scared Lu Changting out.
Of course, Lu Changting still walked steadily. He stepped into the door, then walked around the screen, and then saw Tang He on the bed.
Tang He is nearly seventy years old, his hair is gray, his skin is slack, all crowded together, his face is full of wrinkles, his face looks extremely haggard, and his whole body exudes a feeling of coming soon. The smell of wood.But even so, Lu Changting can still see a bit of fortitude from the face of this aging veteran.
Although he was ill, he never lost his bearing.
Lu Changting secretly sighed, and then asked Mrs. Xin Guogong, "What does the doctor say?"
Mrs. Xin Guo raised her hand and wiped her tears: "What else can I do? It is said that his body is extremely weak and he is hopeless, so we just need to prepare for his funeral... But his illness really came on suddenly, and he is said to be like this No way, how can we accept it?"
Lu Changting thought to himself, for an old man of this age, the sudden onset of illness is actually not considered sudden.After all, at this age, various organs are aging, and most of them are accompanied by some diseases that are prone to acute attacks, which are usually invisible, but once they occur, they will kill people.In this day and age, there are not many advanced equipment for examinations, so people usually look like a healthy person, but when they are sick, they appear abnormally suddenly.
It must have been difficult for Duke Xinguo's mansion to accept it, and then he begged Emperor Hongwu to invite an imperial doctor, and then Zhu Biao and Emperor Hongwu thought of Fengshui.
"Madam, please call the doctor." Lu Changting walked to the bed and stopped, and said calmly.
"Okay, okay..." Mrs. Xin Guogong replied with all her mouth, and hurriedly turned around and asked someone to invite the doctor to come.Because Lu Changting is only a sixth-rank official, there is no slightest contempt at all.
During the period when the doctor came, Lu Changting was not idle either. He bent down slightly and carefully looked at the anger covering Duke Xin Guo's face.When Lu Changting was about to size up, the doctor happened to arrive.In order to avoid omissions, Lu Changting asked Xin Guogong's physical condition in detail before asking them to send the doctor away.
Tang He's body may not all be caused by feng shui, but the feng shui of Duke Xin's mansion is indeed different.
Those who can attack Duke Xin's mansion must be people who are close to Duke Xin...Of course, this guess is unnecessary right now, just tell Zhu Biao and Emperor Hongwu when we go back.
Mrs. Xin Guogong couldn't help asking: "Lu Yuanshi, how are you?"
"The smell in this room is weird..." Lu Changting paused, and said, "Madam, please order someone to open the doors and windows."
"What are you worried about? My grandfather is obviously seriously ill, how can he open the doors and windows to let the evil wind invade?" At this time, an untimely voice sounded.Lu Changting was not angry either, he just looked over at the person who came.It's just a young boy, Lu Changting only took a glance and then looked away, because this person is really not worthy of his attention.
"Shut up, where have you learned all the rules and etiquette?" Mrs. Xin Guogong was quite dignified, and immediately scolded the boy with a straight face.Mrs. Xin Guogong has reached this age, and her vision is naturally different. Although she is anxious at this juncture, she has not lost her basic calmness and reason.She believed in the prince and Emperor Hongwu.Of course, she had no other choice.
Mrs. Xin Guogong cast a cold glance at her grandson, feeling a little headache, why is this grandson so blank.Why did the Tang family have such a child...
After Mrs. Xin Guogong's wife reprimanded her, Lu Changting finally said: "There is a lot of foul smell in the house, which makes it difficult for me to distinguish the source of the smell. That's why I have to open the doors and windows."
Mrs. Xin Guogong saw that Lu Changting had even specially explained a few words, and the expression on her face became softer: "Come here, open the door and window quickly..."
Zhu Biao walked to Lu Changting's side, and his expression softened.If Mrs. Xin Guogong didn't make a sound just now, he would have a fit.
"How?" Zhu Biao asked.
"The Feng Shui of the Tang family is indeed different." As soon as Lu Changting finished speaking, Zhu Biao's expression changed immediately.
Soon, the doors and windows were opened, and fresh air flowed in, gradually dispelling the foul smell in the room. Lu Changting finally felt a lot of refreshment in his nose, and even raised his mood to a higher level.The displeasure of being found in a hurry completely disappeared from my heart.The room was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting for Lu Changting to speak.The boy who spoke rudely before was now full of disdain.
In fact, only when the air in the room is fresh will the source of that peculiar smell become clearer.If the whole house is full of strange smells, it must be difficult to find the source of the smell.
Lu Changting closed his eyes and sniffed, and quickly determined the source.
He looked at the bottom of Tanghe's bed.
"What's on the bottom?" Lu Changting asked.After asking, Lu Changting found that their expressions were somewhat awkward. "Can you take it out?" Lu Changting asked.Then he saw their expressions became more embarrassed, Lu Changting's thoughts changed suddenly, and he immediately understood what it was.The one that was placed under the bed and gave off a strange smell could only be...the chamber pot.
Lu Changting lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There is a filthy atmosphere in the house, and as it gets stronger, it will turn into a deadly atmosphere, and it will directly threaten Duke Xin's life. And this filth...is here."
Mrs. Xin Guogong was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "But, but these many people let it go like this. Why, how, why did they get filthy?"
"Those families may not have been affected. If young people are strong and strong, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is an old person, the harm will be great." After Lu Changting finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "What's more There are other means here."
"What other means?" Mrs. Xin Guo asked immediately, her face was full of worry.
"There are other things in it, making the foul smell even stronger, and getting stronger every day!"
Mrs. Xin Guo's face turned pale: "Come here, come... Take out the things under the bed!"
Immediately, two strong servants came forward, knelt down beside the bed, and bent down to fetch the things under the bed.Looking at this scene, Lu Changting couldn't help sighing, playing tricks under the bed is something that many people love to do.But thanks to their preference, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to find.
Mrs. Xin Guogong sighed and said: "Guogong is too old to wake up at night, especially when he is sick, he can't catch cold, so this is the only thing we can use."
After the words were finished, the servant had already taken out the chamber pot, and an unpleasant smell came over his face immediately.Lu Changting frowned and said, "There is blood inside."
"What?" Mrs. Xin Guo was slightly dumbfounded: "Blood? Blood?! How could there be blood? Could it be... Could it be him..." Her voice was not only surprised, but even trembling.Obviously, Mrs. Xin Guogong's first thought was that Xin Guogong's condition had worsened.
"This blood does not belong to Lord Xinguo."
Hearing what Lu Changting said, Mrs. Xin Guogong let out a sigh of relief.
"Filthy things include blood. What kind of blood is filthy blood? According to Feng Shui, if you use the blood of an adulterous woman to give birth, add the blood of the wicked who burned, killed, and looted, and the blood of the wolf-hearted Blood, the blood of a person suffering from a serious disease... Mixed together, it is the most filthy thing in the world, if this blood is used to spread in the house, there will be more bloody disasters in the house, and the owner of the house will also be seriously ill from now on." After Lu Changting finished speaking, he deliberately paused, and he looked at the people around him, scrutinizing the expressions on their faces without any trace.If it was the person who did it, he would not be able to easily hide it from him, and there would always be traces of it.
It's just a pity that after looking around like this, I didn't find anything.
Lu Changting had no choice but to close his eyes, and continued: "Everyone should know that when building a house, it is absolutely impossible to build the thatched house opposite the main house."
"Yes, there is such a reason..." Mrs. Xinguo said.Today's younger generations have never experienced any hardships, and of course they don't know what needs to be paid attention to in the construction of the house, but Mrs. Xinguo knows it.This is what people pay attention to when they build houses.
"This is to prevent the filthy atmosphere from flooding the house." Lu Changting paused, and then said: "When a hut is built, the ground must not be higher than the rest of the house. As the saying goes, water flows downhill, and so does the air. .If the hut is higher, the filth will flow to other houses. This principle is hidden in the small rules. How harmful is the filth to people? The filth will give birth to evil spirits. This evil is bad for people's passing years... Just this point makes people fear. What's more, this filthy thing is still placed under the bed of Xin Guogong, and it is a companion day and night..."
Mrs. Xin Guogong's face turned pale, and she murmured: "Isn't this forcing the Duke to die?"
"Exactly... Lord Xinguo is already weak and old, how can he withstand such an impact?"
Various emotions flashed across Mrs. Xinguo's face, including fear, anger, and fear... Finally, the expression on her face was fixed on gratitude: "Lu Yuanshi, if it weren't for you, the whole of Xinguo's mansion would be a mess. I really don't know what to do, I'm afraid I will really have to prepare for the Duke's funeral... Thank you so much today..." Speaking of Xin Guogong's wife, she even bowed to Lu Changting.
Lu Changting was slightly surprised that he really didn't expect Mrs. Xin Guogong to be so willing to give up her status.
If it is someone else, he will accept it, after all, it is indeed his own ability in exchange for it.But the one in front of him was an old lady with full hair. Seeing her trembling and bowing to him, Lu Changting immediately followed suit and bowed slightly: "Madam, there is no need to be like this... Duke Xin has dedicated his life to Ming. It is his duty to come and treat him." He didn't bother to take the credit, rather it was the result of Emperor Hongwu's compassion for the veteran.
Mrs. Xin Guo raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Since that's the case, is there any help?" After speaking, she looked at Lu Changting expectantly.
"I don't dare to say that the Duke will be cured, but the crux has been found, so I can try my best to solve the problem." After all, the object is a Duke, and Tang He is still so old, of course Lu Changting dare not He fully agreed, and directly guaranteed the ticket to Mrs. Xin Guogong.
A look of disappointment flashed across Mrs. Xin Guogong's face, but she finally calmed down, nodded and said: "Yes, then it will be hard work for Mr. Lu Yuan, no matter what the outcome is, today's great kindness, the old man and everyone in Xin Guogong's house It is engraved in my heart! I will never dare to forget half a point in the future!"
Mrs. Xin Guogong is really a smart person. She wants to urge Lu Changting to do his best, but she can't speak so bluntly, which will make Lu Changting unhappy, so she said this to show that she remembers her kindness first. Attitude... It is always better to plead and remind with a gesture of gratitude than a gesture of threat...
Lu Changting nodded, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to say thank you. If Madam wants to thank you, please thank Your Majesty and the Crown Prince."
Mrs. Xin Guogong immediately knelt down and thanked the royal family for her kindness...
It's just that Mrs. Xin Guo trusts Lu Changting so much and treats Lu Changting so courteously, but it doesn't mean that everyone else does the same.
The young boy seemed to have found a place to make a fuss again, and immediately taunted him: "Grandma don't believe him, he speaks decently, but you talk nonsense with a potty...Grandpa is seriously ill, how could it be?" Is it because of this?"
Lu Changting glanced at him: "If you don't believe me, you can take this thing and put it under the bed. After sleeping for ten and a half months, you will naturally feel it..." He will be polite to Mrs. Xin Guogong, one is Because the old lady treated him very politely, and secondly because the other party's status was not low.But what is this kid?Not to mention no etiquette, but he is a grandson of the Duke's mansion, and he is nothing if he has not been a prince!Lu Changting can completely look down on him, so naturally, the tone of his speech is not polite at all.
The young man said angrily: "You said this, what is there to be afraid of? I will take it! But if it takes ten and a half months, there will be no effect at all..." The young man sneered: "You will have to kneel outside our government's mansion He kowtowed and said loudly that he was a liar! How dare you?" The young man finished speaking in one breath, feeling extremely elated, as if he had never been so majestic.
The Duke's mansion fell into a dead silence, and no one dared to speak at this moment.
Only then did the young man break away from his complacency, he looked around blankly, and found that everyone lowered their heads slightly, as if they didn't dare to speak anymore, even his grandmother didn't speak anymore.The young man was slightly annoyed, what does it matter?It's just because of this surname Lu's face, why are they so silent?This is the mansion of the Duke of Xinguo, so how can the surname Lu still be rampant here?
The words floating in the boy's mind seemed to be convincing himself.
He was not very old, and when he suddenly saw that everyone was silent, he was still a little scared in his heart.
The boy couldn't help but look in another direction.
Lu Changting stood there, looking at the young man with slightly raised eyebrows, showing surprise.Is this kid really not afraid of death?
The young man looked at Lu Changting's neither humble nor overbearing demeanor, and suddenly felt a deeper revulsion in his heart. I forced him into this state...why didn't he speak?
The Duke's mansion was extremely quiet, Mrs. Xin Guogong swallowed hard and was about to speak.
The prince who had never spoken at the side spoke suddenly: "Who is he?"
"He is the eldest grandson of the old man, Tang Sheng." Mrs. Xin Guogong hurriedly bowed and said, when she straightened up, there was still a look of fear and shame on Mrs. Xin Guogong's face.
Is this how the eldest grandson looks like?Lu Changting couldn't help but feel sorry for Xin Guogong's mansion.If the eldest grandson has this virtue, is it still far from the decline of the family?Of course, as a matter of fact, the back of Xin Guogong's mansion is also really weakened.This has something to do with Xin Guogong's male Ding Yi's early death.
Only then did Lu Changting calmly say: "Then do as you say." Anyway, it wasn't that the thing was placed under his bed, and it wasn't him who harmed it.
Mrs. Xin Guogong's wife turned pale with shock: "Lu Yuanshi, my grandson is really ignorant, please don't argue with him..."
Lu Changting waved his hand: "Needless to say, let's talk about trusting the Duke..." This Tang Sheng is really not a smart person, and Lu Changting is too lazy to talk about this person.
Duke Xinguo's mansion was entirely supported by Duke Xin, so naturally he was more important. Mrs. Xinguo pursed her lips, but she still kept her mouth shut.
"The best thing is that every day when Duke Xin wants to get up at night, you help him up to go to the toilet. If it is really inconvenient and you can only use this thing, then you can replace it with a new one and put it in the house, dump it out and wash it every now and then. It is best to trust people close to Duke Guo to do this, and don’t pretend to be others. The doors and windows must not be closed too tightly, and the air in the room must be dredged. Then ask two or three doctors to recuperate... Will it be good after this? We'll have to wait and see..." After that, Lu Changting added lightly: "Of course, believe it or not, it's up to you..."
Zhu Biao saw Lu Changting's impatience. He knew Lu Changting's arrogance. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said, "Let's stop here today. I and Lu Yuanshi will leave first. Mrs. Take good care of Duke Xin."
"Don't dare dare not dare... My wife sent the prince and Lu Yuanshi away..." After speaking, Mrs. Xin Guogong sent them out tremblingly.
After sending people away, Mrs. Xin Guogong turned around.A junior next to him couldn't help asking: "This...how should I deal with this?"
"Just do what Lu Yuanshi said."
Tang Sheng was the first to refuse: "Grandma!"
"Shut up, don't take the whole Duke's mansion into it!"
Tang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Look at it, I can definitely prove that what that surnamed Lu said is all nonsense!"
"Are you crazy? Look at your grandfather who is still on the hospital bed, and you have acted so recklessly. If you are included in it, are you going to make grandma cry blind?" Mrs. Xin Guogong scolded, gnashing her teeth.
After all, Tang Sheng was young and energetic, he didn't dare to say anything, after the crowd dispersed, he secretly exchanged the chamber pot from the servants to his room, and placed it under the bed.
After doing this, Tang Sheng came out and met Wu Guanxuan, he said with a smile: "Cousin, I will make sure that Lu can't say a single sophistry at that time!"
Wu Guanxuan shook his head with a smile: "Nonsense, why don't you leave now?"
"I'm not!"
At that moment, Tang Sheng felt that his cousin's eyes seemed to turn cold, but when he looked closely, there was nothing there.Is it an illusion?
"I can't control you, just come to me when you have something to do, I have some friendship with that Lu Changting, and I can save you then..."
Hearing this, Tang Sheng immediately overturned the teacup angrily, and said, "Cousin is still friends with this person? Then you don't need to talk about it anymore, you can go!"
Wu Guanxuan shook his head and walked out helplessly.
……
In this compartment, after Lu Changting and Zhu Biao came out from Xin Guogong's mansion, they got into the carriage together.
"Chang Ting doesn't need to be angry with this person." As soon as he got into the carriage, Zhu Biao said these words first, "If Chang Ting still feels unhappy, he can let go of it without any scruples."
Although Zhu Biao's words gave Lu Changting enough support, but Lu Changting would not seriously go out of his way.He shook his head and said: "This Tang Sheng is really stupid, why should I argue with him and lower my IQ?"
Zhu Biao smiled lightly: "It's good not to be angry with this person."
There was a sudden silence in the carriage.
Lu Changting couldn't help looking at Zhu Biao, was he planning something?
"Chang Ting thinks that this matter is caused by the White Lotus Sect?"
coming!
It turned out that what Zhu Biao wanted to ask was this.No wonder... No wonder Zhu Biao and Emperor Hongwu were so anxious.Although the intervals between Fengshui incidents in Yingtian Mansion were long enough, the placement of these piles together was already astonishing enough.After all, the target of their attack is not the prince, but the grandson of the emperor, and now it is even in the house of the founding veteran... If even a person of such status cannot be spared, think about it carefully, wouldn't it be terrible?
Emperor Hongwu was so anxious, not necessarily because he was worried about Tang He's life.With lips dead and teeth cold, Emperor Hongwu was worried about the entire royal family, the entire Yingtian, and even his own Daming Jiangshan... Ants may not be able to shake an elephant, but if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.How could Emperor Hongwu not care about such weird things?
Lu Changting said lightly: "It's hard to tell, but the person who can harm the Duke of Xin must be someone very close to him, let's investigate first."
Zhu Biao nodded, and then seemed to be in deep thought.
Lu Changting thought of Wu Guanxuan, so he hurriedly asked: "Brother, do you know who Wu Guanxuan is?"
"Wu Guanxuan, oh...Xin Ke Scholars? He seems to have joined the Ministry of Officials? What's wrong?"
"I just saw him at Duke Xinguo's mansion, and I was a little curious as to why he appeared there."
Zhu Biao pondered for a while, and said: "Mrs. Xin Guogong's surname is Wu..."
Lu Changting immediately understood.If there is no accident, this Wu Guanxuan should be the nephew of Mrs. Xin Guogong's natal family.Just this identity alone, is it enough to make him respond to all the questions?Lu Changting was a little puzzled.But such characters, no matter how powerful they are, are not worthy of the prince's attention. Presumably there is nothing more to ask from Zhu Biao.Lu Changting didn't speak again.
And Zhu Biao on the other side also pondered again.
The carriage did not take Lu Changting home directly, but took him to the palace instead.
When getting off the carriage, Zhu Biao smiled: "Father is still waiting for news from us."
Lu Changting suppressed the urge to yawn, knowing that today he had to meet Emperor Hongwu.Soon, they entered the hall, Emperor Hongwu looked tired, but he didn't look depressed at all.As soon as he saw them enter the door, Emperor Hongwu immediately looked over with burning eyes.
"How?" Hong Wudi asked.
These two words made Lu Changting's ears almost callused today, but facing Emperor Hongwu, he was still respectful, and explained the whole process in great detail and without omission.
On the way, Emperor Hongwu changed two sitting positions because of lack of energy.
"Thank you Changting." Emperor Hongwu said kindly.
"It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to His Majesty." Lu Changting bowed.
Emperor Hongwu smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then I will leave it to you to take charge of this matter, and I will order someone to assist you in private." Having said this, the smile on Emperor Hongwu's face suddenly disappeared: "Be sure to take care of this matter." Thoroughly investigate the matter, and catch the members of the White Lotus Sect who are lurking in the court and in the homes of the ministers!"
Lu Changting knew this would be the result, so he was not surprised at all.
But... to be honest, to investigate these things, your old man's Jinyiwei is better!It's just a coincidence that just after Jinyiwei was withdrawn, something like this happened... Lu Changting lowered his head and thought for a while, now he is a courtier of Emperor Hongwu, and if he can do things for Emperor Hongwu now, if he can't do it well, he can just leave Can't get past it.So he has to accept this matter, but he also has to seek benefits for himself!
Seeing that Lu Changting didn't respond for a long time, Emperor Hong Wu couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Changting thinks this is difficult?"
Lu Changting nodded, and then said: "Although it is difficult, you must always share the worries for your majesty and the prince. Your majesty once set up Jinyiwei, and they are better at this than Changting. Although the Jinyiwei has been abolished, Changting still dares to beg your majesty to send two Give me one, so that Changting can dig out the black hands behind this scene in one fell swoop."
Emperor Hongwu looked at him fixedly, but did not speak immediately.
Jin Yiwei has been abolished, and Lu Changting's important person is really a bold act, but Lu Changting really wants two people from Jin Yiwei, this is the highest configuration!How much trouble can be saved if you can get it!
On this matter, Lu Changting believed that Emperor Hongwu would compromise in the end.
The hall fell silent for a while.
Lu Changting himself was very indifferent, but Zhu Biao was a little anxious for him: "Father, if you want to investigate the White Lotus Sect, you can't rely on Changting alone. If there is an old Jinyi Guard who is willing to help Changting, it will definitely be more effective!"
Emperor Hongwu glanced at Lu Changting, and said indifferently: "People can give it to you, but you are not allowed to disclose it." In addition, for public and private use... Emperor Hongwu is not worried.After all, although Jin Yiwei was abolished, these people are still in his hands.Of course, Lu Changting wouldn't do such a thing if he thought about it.
Lu Changting happily thanked him.
"Go." Hong Wudi said.
"I'll see you off." Zhu Biao smiled.
Lu Changting nodded and followed Zhu Biao out.After a day of tossing, Zhu Biao's face turned pale, but his spirit was surprisingly good.
He personally sent Lu Changting back to the house before leaving.
On the second day, as soon as Lu Changting woke up, Gong Yue knocked on the door.She and the other two girls came in with hot water and respectfully waited on Lu Changting to wash up. The third son stood at the door and said, "Two people came outside and said they were sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Lu Changting stood there, feeling a bit like an old man.
It's just that Gongyue and the other three on the opposite side of him suddenly became tense, and Chunxia asked timidly: "Is it because the servants are not serving you well?"
Lu Changting waved his hand, and he went out after he was fully dressed.
There were two people standing at the door, one was tall and slender, and the other was tall and tall.Lu Changting always looked familiar, and when he got closer, he took a look.The former was born with a jade face and handsome, while the latter was born majestic and rough.These two were Zhang Xingyu, who had dealt with several times before, and... Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, who had met once.
That's all for Zhang Xingyu...
Lu Changting secretly exclaimed, the former commander of Jinyiwei gave it to me!
Lu Changting was still a little erratic at that moment.It's fine for Jin Yiwei to run errands for him, and the commander also comes to run errands. This kind of treatment...is really a bit high!
Of course, from another level, it will be easier for him to complete this task.
Lu Changting smiled faintly, and strode towards the two of them again: "Zhang Qianhu, Commander Mao."
Zhang Xingyu glanced at him, slightly surprised, but then returned to his normal expression.It was Mao Xiang who spoke first: "Now you are no longer a commanding officer, just call me Big Brother Mao. You are a sixth-rank origin scholar, so calling me like this is considered an advantage of me."
Lu Changting's heart moved slightly, and he said, it's really you who took advantage of me.
There is no such person as him in history, and of course he would not have asked to call two Jin Yiwei to come to his side, and Mao Xiang happened to be there.You must know that Mao Xiang died not long ago in history.Mao Xiang participated in the Hu Weiyong case back then, and this big case lasted until the 23rd or 24th year of Hongwu, when Mao Xiang died.
But now that Mao Xiang followed him, it was difficult to die.
But even though he thought so in his heart, Lu Changting said with a smile on his face: "Brother Mao has broken me, please, please come in."
Zhang Xingyu glanced at him and said, "Then call me Brother Zhang too."
Lu Changting: ...
Why are you rushing to be his big brother?
But think about it, after all, he is also a thousand households of Jinyiwei, so it is not a loss for him to call him big brother.It's just that this person is far behind the eldest brother of the prince.
Thinking about working with them for a long time, Lu Changting changed his words politely: "Brother Zhang."
Gongyue and the other three saw that there were two men coming in, and they blushed immediately, but no one was nervous anymore.
Seeing this, Lu Changting didn't reprimand them.What a slave or a handmaid expects is to serve his master well, to be favored and appreciated by the master, and only then will he have the time to stand out.The three of Gongyue pay special attention to these things, but it's only human nature.Besides, there's nothing wrong with them paying attention.The more he cares in his heart, the more thoughtful he will be in serving him.
After people served tea and snacks, Lu Changting immediately waved them away.
The third son and Xiaoxiao had met Zhang Xingyu before, so of course they knew that the person sitting here was the former Jinyiwei, they were horrified, they all shut their mouths tightly, and silently backed away, waiting for the person inside to finish speaking.
Lu Changting first told them about the White Lotus Sect.
Mao Xiang praised: "I never thought of Mr. Lu, oh no, Scholar Lu Yuan has such a skill, he can also break through the secrets of Feng Shui!"
Lu Changting was a little dumbfounded.Also occult?How can it be so mysterious!
Zhang Xingyu said from the side: "He has always been so good."
Lu Changting looked at Zhang Xingyu in surprise, is he praising himself?
Mao Xiang asked in surprise, "You know each other?"
"Some festivals." Zhang Xingyu said: "Back then I was ordered to send King Yan back to Beiping, so I met him on the way and bumped into him accidentally..."
Mao Xiang also blamed: "That's because you are wrong, how can it be considered as a holiday? I sincerely apologize, Lu Yuanshi forgives you, and you can let it go."
Lu Changting blinked and glanced at Zhang Xingyu. There was no trace of resentment in Zhang Xingyu's eyes, but why did he deliberately use the word "festival" to describe their friendship?Is it... is it intentional to hide the relationship between them?After all, it was not a secret that he had bumped into people from Jinyiwei, and it could be easily investigated.
In fact, it would be a good thing if we could keep this secret friendship.
Lu Changting was very cooperative and said: "I didn't forgive him. After all, I was young at the time, so I was frightened and hurt. How could I forgive him so easily?" After all, Lu Changting Also snorted lightly.
Mao Xiang said with a smile: "It's just that it was young and energetic at that time. Now that we are sitting together, let's put aside the festival..."
Lu Changting blinked and didn't answer the words, but Wen Sheng turned the topic in another direction.
Mao Xiang and the two came here really well prepared, and they quickly gave the suspects information...these people's lives were recorded in detail.
"It's just that some places haven't been checked in detail." Mao Xiang said with a smile.Although he said so on his lips, the smile on his face was extremely confident.Clearly, he believed in his abilities and was proud of it.
Lu Changting really admired it. In such an era, it is really not easy to verify a person's life... What's more, there are dozens of people's lives in front of us now!
But then Lu Changting also felt a headache, because in the end all these materials had to be read under his nose.He doesn't want anyone to slip through the cracks, but equally, he doesn't want good people to be wronged.The most criticized thing about Jin Yiwei is the cruelty of the prison. Even an innocent person can turn you into a guilty one, and countless people have been killed in vain!
Lu Changting is unwilling to take such a path, so he has to maintain a higher vigilance.
Putting away these materials, Lu Changting asked his third son to come in and arrange a place for them.
Zhang Xingyu and Zhang Xingyu will follow him as bodyguards.
Lu Changting also thought it was pretty good, Jin Yiwei's fighting power was extraordinary, it was extremely safe to be by his side, and he didn't have to worry about retaliation from the White Lotus Sect.
After arranging their residence, Lu Changting went back to the house by himself and looked at those things slowly.
In this way, it took several days of work before I finished reading it.
Because of having such a thing in his chest, gradually, Lu Changting's eyes and psychology when he looked at the ministers in the court and central government had slight changes.It's really not a good thing to know too many other people's secrets.Lu Changting always felt strange in his heart.Even if it wasn't him who was pulled away, he still had a weird feeling of being naked.
After the time was over, Lu Changting walked out of the imperial city slowly, and saw Wu Guanxuan who was waiting for him.
Wu Guanxuan glanced at the guards following him, a little surprised: "Where did Yuan Chi invite this person? Look at it, it's true."
