Daming Wuhou
Chapter 220
Seeing them walk in, Wu Guanxuan stood up immediately, and greeted Zhu Biao with a smile on his back, without any guilty conscience.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wu Guanxuan saluted, unable to find any fault.
Wu Guanxuan has outstanding demeanor, outstanding literary talent, and he is also extremely capable.
But Lu Changting knew that because of this, Zhu Biao hated him even more.What could be more heartbreaking than watching Xiancai get involved with the White Lotus Sect?
Sure enough, Zhu Biao didn't give him a good face.
Regarding the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Biao couldn't restrain his emotions.
But Wu Guanxuan didn't seem to care, he said in a low voice: "Since His Royal Highness is here, I will visit Yuan Chi again some other day."
"Sit down." Zhu Biao said coldly.
Wu Guanxuan paused, and sat down slowly after listening to Zhu Biao's words.
Because of the prince's arrival, Gongyue and the others rushed to bring new tea and snacks, and then they all retreated.
Zhu Biao came here on purpose to test Wu Guanxuan, and talked more about the White Lotus Sect in his words, Wu Guanxuan was open and frank, and answered all questions.Lu Changting watched this scene and shook his head secretly.Such a tactful and gentle method cannot be compared to Wu Guanxuan in the slightest.
Sure enough, after a while, it was Zhu Biao who lost his patience first.
"Prince, you are tired today, let me take you out." Lu Changting said.He felt that Wu Guanxuan still had something to say to him, but with the crown prince here, it was difficult for Wu Guanxuan to say it.
Lu Changting is the only one who can issue an order to expel the prince.
Zhu Biao adjusted his emotions, stood up, and then smiled slightly: "What Changting said is, you can go out with me."
Lu Changting got up and walked out with Zhu Biao.
When he was outside the door, the anger on Zhu Biao's face gradually emerged: "You are right, this person is indeed very good at disguising."
Lu Changting couldn't help but smiled: "You never doubted it, I made a mistake in everything."
Zhu Biao interrupted him: "How could Changting be wrong?"
Lu Changting thought it was a little funny, even saints still make mistakes.But I have to say that Zhu Biao's words are really touching, and he is very satisfied with the feeling of being trusted.Lu Changting smiled and said, "Brother, just wait for my good news. This person... can't run away."
Zhu Biao nodded: "Thank you for your hard work...in the future..." At this point, Zhu Biao suddenly stopped.
What in the future?
But Zhu Biao stopped talking, and went straight into the carriage. Before the curtain of the carriage fell, Zhu Biao said: "Be careful, don't put yourself in it."
"En." Lu Changting nodded, watching Zhu Biao's carriage go away.What did Zhu Biao not say just now?Is it a big gift to give him in the future?But why didn't you say it halfway through?Lu Changting was puzzled, but he was not overly entangled.
Lu Changting turned back and saw Chun Xia approaching Wu Guanxuan again, Wu Guanxuan briefly said a few words to her, and when Lu Changting came in, he sent Chun Xia away.
Lu Changting walked up to Wu Guanxuan and sat down again: "Brother Wu, do you have something to tell me?"
Wu Guanxuan took a deep look at him, even with a smile on his face.
Lu Changting asked all the servants in the room to retreat.Wu Guanxuan glanced at their figures, and then said: "I have heard of Yuan Chi's name before."
"Once upon a time?" Sure enough, there was a reason why Wu Guanxuan treated him so close when he was in the inn.
"I heard that there was a young man who was very good at Fengshui. He could choose a Yin house to change a Yang house. He even started to change the Fengshui of the Prince's East Palace..."
Lu Changting's eyes flickered twice, saving Zhu Biao was no secret, but no one ever knew that it had something to do with Feng Shui, and Emperor Hongwu strictly forbade it to spread.After all, Feng Shui is terrible, but because it is terrible, it cannot be spread to disturb people's hearts.By Wu Guanxuan's sudden mention of this matter, is he admitting that he is indeed involved with the White Lotus Sect?
"So?" Lu Changting asked.
"That's why I wanted to see how capable this man is..." He smiled slightly: "I heard that King Yan has a brother-in-law who invited a great Confucianist teacher in Beiping, and this year he will enter Yingtian to take the exam. Coincidentally, I came to Yingtian, and I saw you in the inn."
"..." Lu Changting had nothing to say.Wu Guanxuan is really a gambler, he just met Zhu Biao, and now he is at the feet of the emperor, but he can still speak so calmly and slowly.Isn't he afraid that he will take him down immediately?
Wu Guanxuan seemed to know what he was thinking, looked up at Lu Changting and smiled: "Yuan Chi is wondering why I am so bold? Yuan Chi, what I said to you today, no matter how much I say, cannot be evidence."
Yes, there is no recording pen in this era, even if Wu Guanxuan is like a villain in film and television works, telling all the things he has committed, these will not be evidence.
But... "Sometimes where is the evidence needed?" Lu Changting said lightly.As long as the emperor wants to punish you, where is the evidence?
Wu Guanxuan still didn't panic, he said in a low voice: "There is a feng shui in the palace today that is extremely deadly, it can gradually wear down the emperor's aura, and after a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will be completely overthrown."
Lu Changting: "..." Wu Guanxuan really dared to say it!
Wu Guanxuan still had that gentle, refined and leisurely look: "I have waited for a long time, but Yuan Chi never seemed to notice that something was wrong. I am very disappointed. It can be seen that Yuan Chi's talent is still no match for me." Said As he spoke, Wu Guanxuan smiled, not feeling the slightest bit of impudence.
"Really?" Lu Changting lowered his eyes, not angry at all.
Wu Guanxuan said in a low voice: "Why does Yuan Chi work for that father and son?" The father and son obviously refer to Emperor Hongwu and Zhu Biao.
Lu Changting wanted to laugh, but Wu Guanxuan actually cared about him.Didn't Wu Guanxuan know that he had revealed this matter himself, and when he stepped out of this door, he would be sent to the Ministry of Punishment?
"Because of whom?" Wu Guanxuan paused, and said, "Is it because of King Yan? Because when you were young in Zhongdu, did King Yan and King Qin take care of you? At that time, it should be you who showed more kindness to them Is it big?"
Lu Changting frowned.Obviously, the meaning in Wu Guanxuan's words means that Wu Guanxuan also knew about the changes he made to the feng shui of the house in Zhongdu.At that time, Wu Guanxuan was not too old, right?What is his status in the White Lotus Sect?To know so many inside stories.
"Oh, of course, it can't be measured by kindness. After all, the relationship between Yuan Chi and King Yan is extraordinary..."
Lu Changting's face instantly turned cold, and even a killing intent surged in his heart for a moment.
He didn't expect Wu Guanxuan to even know this!
Wu Guanxuan's entry into the Ministry of Criminal Justice was already a certainty, and he didn't want Wu Guanxuan to say anything that he shouldn't say to Emperor Hongwu.Unless someone who can jump over the wall came to rescue him, but is that possible?Lu Changting even began to consider how to keep Wu Guanxuan's life intact, and never give him the slightest chance to see Emperor Hongwu.
It is difficult to hide the killing intent, especially when the killing intent in Lu Changting's heart gradually becomes stronger.Of course Wu Guanxuan felt it too.
Wu Guanxuan was not surprised, but had a sad look on his face: "I didn't expect to have known Yuan Chi for a few months. I thought I could be friends with Yuan Chi, but Yuan Chi already wanted to kill me."
Lu Changting gave him a cold look.
Wu Guanxuan said in a low voice: "What's so good about being friends with the royal family? Naturally, Yuan Chi is worried that I will tell the story of King Yan, so how about letting me go?"
No wonder Wu Guanxuan was not in a hurry, nor worried at all, so he was here waiting for him.Wu Guanxuan wanted to blackmail him with this matter.But he hated being threatened the most in his life.
Lu Changting's face became even colder.
"If Yuan Chi is worried about being punished by the father and son afterwards, then leave with me." Wu Guanxuan smiled slightly: "I also think it's a pity that Yuan Chi can be placed in Daming."
"What a pity? Wouldn't it be a pity to switch to the White Lotus Sect and use Feng Shui to poison others every day?"
"It's natural."
At this moment, Lu Changting also realized that if you talk to someone like Wu Guanxuan, you should never try to persuade him, because this person has his own set of logic.In his logic, what he said was right.
Before Lu Changting could speak, Wu Guanxuan suddenly leaned forward slightly and took Lu Changting's hand: "Although Yuan Chi is far inferior to me in terms of Feng Shui, Yuan Chi's style is far superior to mine. Ever since I saw it in the inn, I have been thinking about it." Don't dare to forget. Why don't Yuan Chi stay with me?"
Lu Changting was stunned.He never expected that Wu Guanxuan would say such a thing.
Lu Changting came to his senses and immediately shook off Wu Guanxuan's hand.
Wu Guanxuan was not angry either, he still smiled and said: "How do I compare to King Yan?"
Not far!
"Compared to King Yan, one is earth on the ground and the other is moonlight in the sky. What do you think?" Lu Changting didn't show any face.
"Really?" Wu Guanxuan's face darkened: "King Yan is completely useless, how can he compare with me?"
Lu Changting found it very funny, and he looked at Wu Guanxuan with the eyes of a fool: "He is good at many things. How do you compare with him?" Besides, Zhu Di is the famous Ming Chengzu in history.
And what is Wu Guanxuan?There is no record of him sporadic in history.
I really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth.
This White Lotus Sect is probably just daydreaming.
Wu Guanxuan tightly grasped Lu Changting's wrist: "Yuan Chi followed me to the White Lotus Sect, won't he know how I am stronger than King Yan?"
Lu Changting stood up and shook off Wu Guanxuan's hand: "Come here!"
"You're not afraid of..."
"Don't be afraid." Lu Changting curled his lips together: "You can tell it, you can tell the whole world that I have an affair with King Yan. The deep love between King Yan and me is something that everyone in the world knows. Go and see, there are many people willing to believe your words."
Wu Guanxuan's expression turned cold, and he was about to speak when the door opened suddenly, and Zhang Xingyu walked in quickly.
Wu Guanxuan stretched out his hand to drag Lu Changting to his side as a hostage.Lu Changting smiled coldly, he probably forgot that he knew some kung fu and was also a person who had been on the battlefield.
Lu Changting broke free from Wu Guanxuan's shackles, and at the same time punched him hard with a backhand, right on Wu Guanxuan's nose.
This is also due to the fact that Lu Changting has grown a lot taller in recent years, so this punch was extremely clean and crisp.
Wu Guanxuan had a sore nose, and stepped back quickly.At the same time, Zhang Xingyu rushed up, just in time to hold Wu Guanxuan.
"Crackling" two crisp sounds of bones.
Zhang Xingyu looked stern.
Lu Changting only caught a glimpse of his flying clothes, and then saw that Zhang Xingyu had already pinned him firmly to the ground.
Lu Changting walked out and said, "Come here, take him down."
The people left behind by Zhu Xi came in handy at this time, they rushed in quickly and captured Wu Guanxuan together so that he could not escape.
"Xiaoxiao, you go to the palace to send a message."
"Yes!"
After all, Xiaoxiao is someone close to Zhu Di, so she will not be timid about the palace, and she is more familiar with the road.
After Wu Guanxuan was pushed down, he roared sharply in his throat: "Lu Changting, can you really ignore it?"
"Yes." Lu Changting replied firmly.
Zhang Xingyu punched Wu Guanxuan on the head, Wu Guanxuan glared bitterly, but could only faint.
Zhang Xingyu lifted Wu Guanxuan up with a cold face: "Look, on the way to the Ministry of Punishment, you can't make any mistakes. If you wake up and make a fuss, you will be knocked out again."
Although the guards sent by Zhu Xi didn't know who Zhang Xingyu was, when they saw what he said, Lu Changting didn't say anything, so they all nodded in response.
Lu Changting looked towards the door with a cold face, waiting for Emperor Hongwu to send someone to come.There was no safer place than his home at this time.If Wu Guanxuan's status in the White Lotus Sect is really extraordinary, then maybe if you take him out, you may encounter someone from the White Lotus Sect to rob him.So after thinking about it, it is better to keep the person and wait.
Lu Changting turned around to get a sword and hung it in the hall.
The others glanced at Lu Changting inexplicably.
After a while, the third son ran in: "A man was caught outside, and he fell off the wall by himself."
"Bring them in, let's watch together." Lu Changting said.
The third son nodded.
Others couldn't help sighing: "This person is so stupid..."
The third son quickly came in with the man who had fallen from the wall. The man was not well dressed and looked like an ordinary citizen.When the third son came in, he had already passed out.
Lu Changting ordered lightly: "Third son, hang a bronze mirror outside the gate."
"Yes!" The third son didn't ask why, and immediately went to do it.
On the other side, Zhu Biao did not go to rest immediately after returning to the palace. He went to Emperor Hongwu and told Emperor Hongwu what happened today in detail.At the same time, he also said that Lu Changting might be in danger, he had to wait for Lu Changting to send a letter, and if something happened, he would immediately reach out to help.
Emperor Hongwu said helplessly: "Then the prince will wait here."
Zhu Biao nodded.
Passing news from outside the palace to inside the palace has to go through many barriers, so it is naturally slow. When Xiaoxiao arrived outside the palace gate, she had to wait for a long time before she heard a reply: "The news has been sent to the Prince's East Palace."
Over there, Zhu Biao was not in the East Palace, so the news was delayed for a while before it reached Zhu Biao.
"His Royal Highness, there is news that Wu Guanxuan has made a move." The eunuch said with a bow.This eunuch was a trusted person around the prince, and Zhu Biao had told him early on that if he got any news related to Lu Changting, he must not stop and report it to him immediately.Then he came.
After all, Zhu Biao is worried about handing over these matters to other people.
At this time, Zhu Biao stood up excitedly when he heard the eunuch's words.And Emperor Hongwu also said suspiciously: "Wu Guanxuan, this name sounds familiar."
"This person is a Jinshi of the new department. You asked him to go to the Ministry of Officials to be the chief. Do you remember what your son said before, doubting a person, but temporarily unable to make up his mind? It is this person!"
Emperor Hongwu's expression changed: "What's going on now? Tell me quickly."
Zhu Biao's ability to generalize is very strong, and he explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Emperor Hongwu immediately issued an order for the minister of punishment to take people there in person.Zhu Biao also wanted to accompany him, but Hong Wudi frowned and said, "No, such a scene must be chaotic..."
Zhu Biao smiled helplessly: "Father, my son can't put Changting there alone."
"How can it be regarded as one person? Aren't there still many people guarding him? Immediately, the Ministry of Punishment took people away..."
"Someone needs to be in charge of the overall situation, not to mention that Changting has paid a lot in this matter, my son should go." Zhu Biao was full of energy, and his tired face was swept away, and even his cheeks looked a lot rosier.
Seeing this, Emperor Hongwu didn't want to spoil the eldest son's happiness, so he could only say: "Go. Bring more people, and I'll wait for you to bring Lu Changting over at the Ministry of Punishment."
"Yes." Zhu Biao resigned and led the others down.
The people from the Criminal Department over there were called, and there was a delay for a while.When Zhu Biao came out with people and the people from the Criminal Department came to meet, Xiaoxiao waited outside until her facial features were wrinkled together.
When she finally saw Zhu Biao's figure, Xiaoxiao almost fell over excitedly.
A group of people hurried to Lu Changting's house.
And here, the people in the house waited somewhat anxiously.
"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Zhang Xingyu said lightly: "Just wait."
Lu Changting is also surprisingly calm at the moment, he knows not to be in a hurry, and there is nothing to be in a hurry.
At this time, the third son came in again: "Master, two more people were arrested. I don't know why, when they walked outside the door, it was as if they had been hit by evil spirits. They twitched twice and fell down."
Lu Changting took a look, and he dragged someone in again.
The third son threw the man down like a cloth bag, then turned around and dragged him in.The third son's face is not very good-looking, and it's because he despises these idiots.
Lu Changting smiled lightly.
After a while, Lu Changting heard the sound of footsteps and horseshoes approaching gradually...
"Here we come." Lu Changting said.
They all held their breath unconsciously.
People in armor quickly surrounded the Lu residence, and Zhu Biao strode in with a man.Zhu Biao looked excited, and quickly stepped forward, hugging Lu Changting in his arms: "Changting was never injured, right?"
"No." Lu Changting shook his head: "It's also thanks to Fourth Brother who treated me harshly in the past and never let me down in the slightest. Otherwise, Wu Guanxuan was cornered and wanted to take me as a hostage."
"Why so suddenly?" Zhu Biao asked.It was fine until I left.
Lu Changting was also very helpless: "Perhaps he was confident that he could take me down. After you left, he directly told me that he had something to do with the White Lotus Sect, and even said a lot of outrageous things."
Zhu Biao's face darkened: "This person can't escape..."
Lu Changting nodded, and only then did he feel a little tired. Although he didn't care about Wu Guanxuan's threat just now, his spirit was always tense, fearing that something might go wrong.At this moment, the spirit relaxed, and Lu Changting felt tired.
Zhu Biao could see how tired he was, but he still said, "Changting, you have to walk with me."
Lu Changting nodded: "I know, I still have to go to the Ministry of Punishment."
"Let's go."
"En." Lu Changting followed Zhu Biao out, but when he reached the door, Zhang Xingyu suddenly stopped him.
Lu Changting had no choice but to confess to Zhu Biao first, and then walked up to Zhang Xingyu: "What's wrong?" Zhang Xingyu is a steady person, and he put in a lot of effort this time.He had something to say, of course Lu Changting chose to listen carefully.
Zhang Xingyu said with a complex expression: "I heard what you and Wu Guanxuan said."
Lu Changting's eyes flickered.
No wonder Zhang Xingyu came quickly at that time, so he stayed outside at that time, right?If you think about it, listening to corners is what Jin Yiwei is good at.I just don't know if Zhang Xingyu did it himself, or if he was ordered by Emperor Hongwu.
When he was thinking about it, he heard Zhang Xingyu continue: "Be careful, I will not report this matter to the emperor."
Lu Changting raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you."
It's really fate.
Before, he lamented that Jinyiwei had been abolished, and it was useless to make friends with Zhang Xingyu.Who knows that this usefulness is used here.
Lu Changting waved goodbye to Zhang Xingyu and got into Zhu Biao's carriage.
When Zhu Yu's guards handed over the person to the Ministry of Punishment, they still didn't forget to repeat Zhang Xingyu's previous words.
The people in the criminal department nodded hurriedly.
After that, the few people who were caught halfway did wake up, but they would be knocked out as soon as they woke up.
After arriving at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wu Guanxuan still had a bump on the back of his head.
Emperor Hongwu had been waiting in the Ministry of Punishment for a while, and when he saw Lu Changting and Zhu Biao walking in with many people behind him, Emperor Hongwu smiled immediately.
"The merit of the Changting Pavilion is not insignificant!" Emperor Hongwu sighed.
Although he just said this casually, Lu Changting's contribution has basically been established, and the subsequent rewards will come naturally.
Lu Changting was also very satisfied. He contributed to the White Lotus Sect's affairs, and then asked to accompany the army in the Northern Expedition, so he would have more confidence.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was also the experience of sending civilian officials to accompany the army, and this matter is not out of the ordinary.If there is Zhu Biao helping the flames, then the result is basically equivalent to a certainty.
Lu Changting put away his thoughts and looked at the person behind him.
They threw Wu Guanxuan into prison.
They didn't put him directly in front of Emperor Hongwu, because the people in the Ministry of Punishment were worried that the people of the White Lotus Sect were scheming, what if they suddenly hurt someone?No one can take responsibility.
The author has something to say: Oh, Huo, we will have to wait until tomorrow to solve the maid.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wu Guanxuan saluted, unable to find any fault.
Wu Guanxuan has outstanding demeanor, outstanding literary talent, and he is also extremely capable.
But Lu Changting knew that because of this, Zhu Biao hated him even more.What could be more heartbreaking than watching Xiancai get involved with the White Lotus Sect?
Sure enough, Zhu Biao didn't give him a good face.
Regarding the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Biao couldn't restrain his emotions.
But Wu Guanxuan didn't seem to care, he said in a low voice: "Since His Royal Highness is here, I will visit Yuan Chi again some other day."
"Sit down." Zhu Biao said coldly.
Wu Guanxuan paused, and sat down slowly after listening to Zhu Biao's words.
Because of the prince's arrival, Gongyue and the others rushed to bring new tea and snacks, and then they all retreated.
Zhu Biao came here on purpose to test Wu Guanxuan, and talked more about the White Lotus Sect in his words, Wu Guanxuan was open and frank, and answered all questions.Lu Changting watched this scene and shook his head secretly.Such a tactful and gentle method cannot be compared to Wu Guanxuan in the slightest.

"Don't be afraid." Lu Changting curled his lips together: "You can tell it, you can tell the whole world that I have an affair with King Yan. The deep love between King Yan and me is something that everyone in the world knows. Go and see, there are many people willing to believe your words."
Wu Guanxuan's expression turned cold, and he was about to speak when the door opened suddenly, and Zhang Xingyu walked in quickly.
Wu Guanxuan stretched out his hand to drag Lu Changting to his side as a hostage.Lu Changting smiled coldly, he probably forgot that he knew some kung fu and was also a person who had been on the battlefield.
Lu Changting broke free from Wu Guanxuan's shackles, and at the same time punched him hard with a backhand, right on Wu Guanxuan's nose.
This is also due to the fact that Lu Changting has grown a lot taller in recent years, so this punch was extremely clean and crisp.
Wu Guanxuan had a sore nose, and stepped back quickly.At the same time, Zhang Xingyu rushed up, just in time to hold Wu Guanxuan.
"Crackling" two crisp sounds of bones.
Zhang Xingyu looked stern.
Lu Changting only caught a glimpse of his flying clothes, and then saw that Zhang Xingyu had already pinned him firmly to the ground.
Lu Changting walked out and said, "Come here, take him down."
The people left behind by Zhu Xi came in handy at this time, they rushed in quickly and captured Wu Guanxuan together so that he could not escape.
"Xiaoxiao, you go to the palace to send a message."
"Yes!"
After all, Xiaoxiao is someone close to Zhu Di, so she will not be timid about the palace, and she is more familiar with the road.
After Wu Guanxuan was pushed down, he roared sharply in his throat: "Lu Changting, can you really ignore it?"
"Yes." Lu Changting replied firmly.
Zhang Xingyu punched Wu Guanxuan on the head, Wu Guanxuan glared bitterly, but could only faint.
Zhang Xingyu lifted Wu Guanxuan up with a cold face: "Look, on the way to the Ministry of Punishment, you can't make any mistakes. If you wake up and make a fuss, you will be knocked out again."
Although the guards sent by Zhu Xi didn't know who Zhang Xingyu was, when they saw what he said, Lu Changting didn't say anything, so they all nodded in response.
Lu Changting looked towards the door with a cold face, waiting for Emperor Hongwu to send someone to come.There was no safer place than his home at this time.If Wu Guanxuan's status in the White Lotus Sect is really extraordinary, then maybe if you take him out, you may encounter someone from the White Lotus Sect to rob him.So after thinking about it, it is better to keep the person and wait.
Lu Changting turned around to get a sword and hung it in the hall.
The others glanced at Lu Changting inexplicably.
After a while, the third son ran in: "A man was caught outside, and he fell off the wall by himself."
"Bring them in, let's watch together." Lu Changting said.
The third son nodded.
Others couldn't help sighing: "This person is so stupid..."
The third son quickly came in with the man who had fallen from the wall. The man was not well dressed and looked like an ordinary citizen.When the third son came in, he had already passed out.
Lu Changting ordered lightly: "Third son, hang a bronze mirror outside the gate."
"Yes!" The third son didn't ask why, and immediately went to do it.
On the other side, Zhu Biao did not go to rest immediately after returning to the palace. He went to Emperor Hongwu and told Emperor Hongwu what happened today in detail.At the same time, he also said that Lu Changting might be in danger, he had to wait for Lu Changting to send a letter, and if something happened, he would immediately reach out to help.
Emperor Hongwu said helplessly: "Then the prince will wait here."
Zhu Biao nodded.
Passing news from outside the palace to inside the palace has to go through many barriers, so it is naturally slow. When Xiaoxiao arrived outside the palace gate, she had to wait for a long time before she heard a reply: "The news has been sent to the Prince's East Palace."
Over there, Zhu Biao was not in the East Palace, so the news was delayed for a while before it reached Zhu Biao.
"His Royal Highness, there is news that Wu Guanxuan has made a move." The eunuch said with a bow.This eunuch was a trusted person around the prince, and Zhu Biao had told him early on that if he got any news related to Lu Changting, he must not stop and report it to him immediately.Then he came.
After all, Zhu Biao is worried about handing over these matters to other people.
At this time, Zhu Biao stood up excitedly when he heard the eunuch's words.And Emperor Hongwu also said suspiciously: "Wu Guanxuan, this name sounds familiar."
"This person is a Jinshi of the new department. You asked him to go to the Ministry of Officials to be the chief. Do you remember what your son said before, doubting a person, but temporarily unable to make up his mind? It is this person!"
Emperor Hongwu's expression changed: "What's going on now? Tell me quickly."
Zhu Biao's ability to generalize is very strong, and he explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Emperor Hongwu immediately issued an order for the minister of punishment to take people there in person.Zhu Biao also wanted to accompany him, but Hong Wudi frowned and said, "No, such a scene must be chaotic..."
Zhu Biao smiled helplessly: "Father, my son can't put Changting there alone."
"How can it be regarded as one person? Aren't there still many people guarding him? Immediately, the Ministry of Punishment took people away..."
"Someone needs to be in charge of the overall situation, not to mention that Changting has paid a lot in this matter, my son should go." Zhu Biao was full of energy, and his tired face was swept away, and even his cheeks looked a lot rosier.
Seeing this, Emperor Hongwu didn't want to spoil the eldest son's happiness, so he could only say: "Go. Bring more people, and I'll wait for you to bring Lu Changting over at the Ministry of Punishment."
"Yes." Zhu Biao resigned and led the others down.
The people from the Criminal Department over there were called, and there was a delay for a while.When Zhu Biao came out with people and the people from the Criminal Department came to meet, Xiaoxiao waited outside until her facial features were wrinkled together.
When she finally saw Zhu Biao's figure, Xiaoxiao almost fell over excitedly.
A group of people hurried to Lu Changting's house.
And here, the people in the house waited somewhat anxiously.
"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Zhang Xingyu said lightly: "Just wait."
Lu Changting is also surprisingly calm at the moment, he knows not to be in a hurry, and there is nothing to be in a hurry.
At this time, the third son came in again: "Master, two more people were arrested. I don't know why, when they walked outside the door, it was as if they had been hit by evil spirits. They twitched twice and fell down."
Lu Changting took a look, and he dragged someone in again.
The third son threw the man down like a cloth bag, then turned around and dragged him in.The third son's face is not very good-looking, and it's because he despises these idiots.
Lu Changting smiled lightly.
After a while, Lu Changting heard the sound of footsteps and horseshoes approaching gradually...
"Here we come." Lu Changting said.
They all held their breath unconsciously.
People in armor quickly surrounded the Lu residence, and Zhu Biao strode in with a man.Zhu Biao looked excited, and quickly stepped forward, hugging Lu Changting in his arms: "Changting was never injured, right?"
"No." Lu Changting shook his head: "It's also thanks to Fourth Brother who treated me harshly in the past and never let me down in the slightest. Otherwise, Wu Guanxuan was cornered and wanted to take me as a hostage."
"Why so suddenly?" Zhu Biao asked.It was fine until I left.
Lu Changting was also very helpless: "Perhaps he was confident that he could take me down. After you left, he directly told me that he had something to do with the White Lotus Sect, and even said a lot of outrageous things."
Zhu Biao's face darkened: "This person can't escape..."
Lu Changting nodded, and only then did he feel a little tired. Although he didn't care about Wu Guanxuan's threat just now, his spirit was always tense, fearing that something might go wrong.At this moment, the spirit relaxed, and Lu Changting felt tired.
Zhu Biao could see how tired he was, but he still said, "Changting, you have to walk with me."
Lu Changting nodded: "I know, I still have to go to the Ministry of Punishment."
"Let's go."
"En." Lu Changting followed Zhu Biao out, but when he reached the door, Zhang Xingyu suddenly stopped him.
Lu Changting had no choice but to confess to Zhu Biao first, and then walked up to Zhang Xingyu: "What's wrong?" Zhang Xingyu is a steady person, and he put in a lot of effort this time.He had something to say, of course Lu Changting chose to listen carefully.
Zhang Xingyu said with a complex expression: "I heard what you and Wu Guanxuan said."
Lu Changting's eyes flickered.
No wonder Zhang Xingyu came quickly at that time, so he stayed outside at that time, right?If you think about it, listening to corners is what Jin Yiwei is good at.I just don't know if Zhang Xingyu did it himself, or if he was ordered by Emperor Hongwu.
When he was thinking about it, he heard Zhang Xingyu continue: "Be careful, I will not report this matter to the emperor."
Lu Changting raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you."
It's really fate.
Before, he lamented that Jinyiwei had been abolished, and it was useless to make friends with Zhang Xingyu.Who knows that this usefulness is used here.
Lu Changting waved goodbye to Zhang Xingyu and got into Zhu Biao's carriage.
When Zhu Yu's guards handed over the person to the Ministry of Punishment, they still didn't forget to repeat Zhang Xingyu's previous words.
The people in the criminal department nodded hurriedly.
After that, the few people who were caught halfway did wake up, but they would be knocked out as soon as they woke up.
After arriving at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wu Guanxuan still had a bump on the back of his head.
Emperor Hongwu had been waiting in the Ministry of Punishment for a while, and when he saw Lu Changting and Zhu Biao walking in with many people behind him, Emperor Hongwu smiled immediately.
"The merit of the Changting Pavilion is not insignificant!" Emperor Hongwu sighed.
Although he just said this casually, Lu Changting's contribution has basically been established, and the subsequent rewards will come naturally.
Lu Changting was also very satisfied. He contributed to the White Lotus Sect's affairs, and then asked to accompany the army in the Northern Expedition, so he would have more confidence.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was also the experience of sending civilian officials to accompany the army, and this matter is not out of the ordinary.If there is Zhu Biao helping the flames, then the result is basically equivalent to a certainty.
Lu Changting put away his thoughts and looked at the person behind him.
They threw Wu Guanxuan into prison.
They didn't put him directly in front of Emperor Hongwu, because the people in the Ministry of Punishment were worried that the people of the White Lotus Sect were scheming, what if they suddenly hurt someone?No one can take responsibility.
The author has something to say: Oh, Huo, we will have to wait until tomorrow to solve the maid.
