ancient criminal minds

After that day, Jian Yu never appeared in this Zhuangzi again, and as he said, this place is indeed very safe, there are several servants serving him every day, but no matter what Rongzhen asked them, they would not answer.

Rong Zhen didn't think that Jian Yu would lie to him, so he recuperated here with peace of mind. Fortunately, none of his injuries hurt his vitals, and those dead men didn't use firecrackers. Rest, the injury is almost healed.

And three days later, the siege of Yanjing was lifted.

When Rong Zhen saw Song Zhiyi and Su Dai, he realized that not only Lu Xun led the army, but even several other generals also entered Jingqin King.Song Zhiyi and the others received Jian Yu's message after they entered the city. Although they were dubious, they still came to this Zhuangzi, and they actually saw Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen told a few people what had happened in the past few days, and then sighed: "Go and save Zhi Shu's bones first."

Song Zhiyi didn't speak, although he knew that Nie Zhishu's life and death would be unpredictable when he left, but he was in a trance for a moment when he really heard the news of his death.

Nie Zhishu was picked up by Rong Zhen on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang. He was abandoned by his parents when he was young, and was raised by wolves. After being picked up by Rong Zhen, he still remained wild.Song Zhiyi was as old as him, and at the age when people hated dogs, what he liked most every day was to tease Nie Zhishu until he was bitten on the palm of his hand by Nie Zhishu.

After that, the two of them didn't know each other. Although they always sneered at each other, their relationship has always been very good.Nie Zhishu values ​​love and righteousness, and is determined to repay Rongzhen's kindness, but Song Zhiyi is born not to like restraint, has no family background, and often drinks and brags together. In Song Zhiyi's heart, such days will last for a long, long time, definitely not Stopped as abruptly as it is now.

"What do you mean?" Rong Zhen noticed Song Zhiyi's distraught expression, and couldn't help sighing softly from the bottom of his heart. He winked at Su Dai, and Su Dai was ordered to collect Nie Zhishu's bones.

Only then did Rong Zhen say to Song Zhiyi, "What's the situation outside now?"

Only then did Song Zhiyi manage to come back to his senses, pulled himself together and replied, "Several generals have surrounded the palace, and we are just waiting for you to preside over the overall situation."

Rong Zhen didn't speak, he naturally knew what it meant to preside over the overall situation, presumably the contents of Emperor Yongning's imperial edict had already been spread, these people are doing this now just because they want a piece of meritorious service from the dragon.

Song Zhiyi forced himself to forget about Nie Zhishu and told all the information he got.The first contribution this time was Lu Xun. Not only was he the first to arrive, but he was also the first to lead people into the city gate. In addition, his eldest brother Lu Che stabilized the situation and cooperated with him inside and out. Let them save a lot of losses when they clear the siege.

Lu Che was vacillating between the second prince and the fourth prince at the beginning. Maybe he didn't expect that Emperor Yongning would pass the throne to King Chu over his own son, but after Emperor Yongning passed away, he did not stand by King Wei. On the one hand, on the contrary, he has firmed his position, and this one is far stronger than those ministers who flattered King Wei.

Once the siege of Yanjing was resolved this time, not only the subordinates of the king of Wei were under control, but even those ministers who were not firm in their stance were also arrested, and they will be dealt with after Rong Zhen ascended the throne.

If it was in the past, Rong Zhen might have felt complacent, but now he is very calm, and he is more concerned about what happened back then. In the process of constant investigation, he just let himself fall into a deeper fog , and now this imperial edict issued by Emperor Yongning and the so-called inner ghost have made these things even more confusing. All the parties involved in these incidents are dead. Perhaps the only thing that can tell him is that they are still in the palace. the king of Wei.

At the same time, King Wei did not show panic or frustration in the palace as outsiders thought. He calmly acted as if all this was not unexpected.

Han Zhu knelt down under him with a disheartened face: "Your Highness, forgive me."

King Wei shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with you, maybe this is fate."

Han Zhu suddenly became excited: "You are so talented, this throne should be yours."

King Wei laughed lightly, and stood up: "If it were back then, I would never be reconciled to such failure, but now, I seem to be relieved." He looked down at Han Zhu, " If you get the right way, you can get more help than if you don’t, and neither my own uncle nor my own son is on my side, which shows that I am not the lord of destiny, and the order that Liaochen gave me back then was not wrong."

Han Zhu bit his cheek tightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"That's all." Wei Wang raised his head and looked at the sunset outside the hall. The obsession in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate with the setting sun that was about to fall. He said to Han Zhudao, "Go and invite the king of Chu to come in tomorrow." Come on, Gong, some things always have to be broken."

Rong Zhen didn't say anything when he received the invitation from King Wei. Instead, Song Zhiyi and Su Dai were emotional: "This must be a trap. King Wei has already suffered a crushing defeat at the moment. I'm afraid he will jump the wall in a hurry."

Lu Xun and several other generals also came to pay respects to the King of Chu, and they were also sitting in the hall at this time.Lu Xun was born in the British government, so he naturally knew that his family had made great achievements over the years. What he was afraid of was not lack of merit, but great achievements, so he did not flatter Rong Zhen like other generals, but kept a low profile.Several other generals also discussed this matter, and condemned King Wei together, but he never said a word.

Rong Zhen couldn't help asking: "What is General Lu's opinion?"

Lu Xun grinned: "The last general is a reckless man, and I don't know what the king of Wei's intention is, but if His Highness wants to enter the palace, I'm afraid it should be accompanied by someone."

The other generals suddenly realized that if Rong Zhen didn't want to go to the palace at all, he wouldn't have brought up the matter at all. He must have already made up his mind, and this is a good opportunity for him to show his loyalty.

Rong Zhen took a steady look at Lu Xun. Of course he knew that Lu Xun was not as rough as he appeared on the surface. Among the three brothers of the Lu family, the second child seemed to have a low sense of existence. No less than his brother.

After Lu Xun finished speaking, he closed his mouth again, thinking about his third younger brother who just saw beside the King of Chu. He is not a fool. He thought of a possibility, but this possibility made him startled.

It is not that there were no male queens in the history of the previous dynasty, but such a move has always been criticized by some acid scholars, who believe that this move hinders the harmony of yin and yang, and is an act against the sky.

After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, the folk atmosphere became more open, but no emperor dared to do so. Lu Xun did not think that Rong Zhen was a weak and deceitful person. People can thwart his decision, but after that?

The British Duke's Mansion is one of the three Dukes handed down from the beginning of the founding of the country, and with Liang Jue standing on the side of King Wei, the Chengguo Duke's Mansion may also become history. In this case, the only remaining British Duke's mansion Naturally, it will be extremely conspicuous. Under such circumstances, if there is a queen in the family, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Lu Xun understood clearly, so after saying that, he started pretending to be a quail again, resolutely not to make a head rafter.

Rong Zhen knew that the reason why King Wei invited him into the palace was probably to tell the story of the year, but even so, as Song Zhiyi and the others said, he was afraid that King Wei would jump over the wall in a hurry, so when someone volunteered to escort him into the palace, he No objection either.

After everyone left, Rong Zhen went to the backyard to meet Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng is working hard to write a book. It's not that Rong Zhen forced him to practice calligraphy, but that Lu Zheng wanted to write some knowledge about criminal psychology into a book. For Lu Zheng, he came from modern times after all, and he wanted to use some of the knowledge of that era. Things are recorded as a memorial.Criminal psychology may not be a way to determine the murderer, but it is a kind of thinking that can be provided in the process of handling a case. This is probably what he can do for this era and this dynasty.

Seeing Rong Zhen coming in, Lu Zheng put down his pen, stretched his hands and shoulders, and said, "Have you finished talking about your business?"

"En." Rong Zhen walked over, held his hand very skillfully and began to massage him.

Lu Zheng didn't panic because of the change of his identity, but enjoyed it very naturally, and he didn't forget to ask: "My second brother also went back?"

"He doesn't want to stand out, and I don't force him."

Lu Zheng didn't speak. He didn't have much contact with this second brother, but he also knew his character. He could understand what Lu Xun was worried about. In fact, he also had a little panic in his heart. It was only because he trusted Rong Zhen that he said these things Panic suppressed.

To Lu Zheng, Rong Zhen was able to say some words smoothly: "The king of Wei invited me into the palace tomorrow, but I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Lu Zheng was a little surprised and said: "Wei Wang invited you into the palace, why?"

"Although they all thought that King Wei was in a hurry to jump the wall, but based on my understanding of him, it doesn't seem like it. Maybe he just wanted to tell the truth back then."

Lu Zheng suddenly said: "Then you are worried..."

"I have been investigating this matter for many years, and every time I find new clues, it makes the matter more and more confusing." Rong Zhen smiled wryly, "Now that the truth is about to be revealed, I don't feel relieved. It's a little unnerving."

Lu Zheng knew that Rong Zhen was investigating the cause of his mother's concubine Jin's death, and he could understand Rong Zhen's worries at this time, without thinking about it, he said, "Tomorrow I will accompany you into the palace."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What if this is really a trap set by King Wei?"

Lu Zhengyang smiled: "I thought our relationship could be called a life-and-death relationship. If this is a trap, I will accompany you. If not, I will always be with you."
