Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

Xiong Lu returned to the bedroom, Guan Fuxiu was already there as expected, even his shadow was there.Xiong Lu asked: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

The shadow said: "Yes, this is exactly what Doujiao did. According to the king's wishes, I stamped Dou's seal on Doubenhuang's items. Doujiao was really impatient when he saw it. After returning to the study, he originally wanted to read it. What, in the end he seemed to be scrupulous, so he didn’t check it out, and called in his confidantes to strengthen the guards, which was obviously a guilty conscience. I checked the place where he originally planned to check it out, and found a small hidden compartment on the wall, in which this was placed. "

The shadow took the thing in his hand and handed it to the bear couple.The Xiong couple took a brief look, and couldn't get angry.This is the contract between Doujiao and Zhao Dun, the power minister of the state of Jin.Doujiao provided information to the state of Jin, and the state of Jin gave help when necessary.When this is necessary, I am afraid it refers to seeking power and usurping the throne.

"Sure enough it was him! It seems that he was the one who did the assassination when I first came to the Chu palace. The real king's assassination may also be related to him." Xiong Lu's eyes were almost bursting with anger. Guan Fuxiu almost died, this is not something that can be counted casually.

"You say, how should I fix him?"

Guan Fuxiu took the scroll, frowned and looked at it again, and said: "Shadow came over with this thing, so we have to move quickly. He is a shrewd person, maybe he has already discovered that the thing is missing. He and There must be a lot of connections between the states of Jin, and the letters may have been destroyed long ago. This silk book is kept to prevent the Jin people from going back on their word, otherwise he would not be able to keep it. But if there is only this thing, it may not be enough to move him. We have to find another way .”

Xiong Lu pondered for a moment, and said: "Otherwise, let's go to Asahi the next day, and we still have time tomorrow. Let's find some more evidence to prove that Dou Ban was framed, and Dou Jiao is the mastermind behind this matter. Since there is If the goal is met, then start the investigation from Doujiao, and you will be responsible for the shadow. I will go to Shen Gong tomorrow and ask him to hand over all the evidence to me for review. These evidences are fake, and there must be omissions."

Shadow nodded, turned around and was about to leave.Xiong Lu hurriedly pulled him over and said: "You didn't sleep last night, eat first, and then sleep for a few hours. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold on."

Shadow's eyes changed, and when he looked at Xiong Lu, he was much softer, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." However, he didn't move, but looked at Guan Fuxiu.Guan Fuxiu said: "He told you to rest, you should go and rest, don't get dizzy and ruin the big thing."

Shadow nodded.

"Today the three of us have dinner together." After Xiong Lu finished speaking, he walked out the door with a smile, called You Meng, and asked the palace servants to bring food over.

The next day, Xiong Lu set off early in the morning and went to Shen Gong's mansion.Shengong Wuchen's house is located in the south of Yingdu City, not far from the bustling market.You Meng, who was accompanying the Xiong Lu, was extremely excited, and his eyes lit up when he saw Duke Shen's mansion.Xiong Lu smiled and said, "Ah Meng, you are in a good mood today."

You Meng stood still behind him, and said: "You Meng is naturally in a good mood to travel with the king."

You Meng went to knock on the door, and the servant opened the door so surprised that he immediately ran to call the master.You Meng whispered in Xiong Lu's ear: "Shen Gong's younger brother Qu Dang lives with him, he should go out to do some business right now."

As soon as the words were finished, Qu Wuchen appeared in front of them in plain casual clothes.He bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, I welcome you from a distance."

"Nothing, I'll go in and discuss in detail."

Walking to the corner of the corridor, suddenly there was the sound of a child crying.I saw a boy about two or three years old among the flowers, who was carved in pink and jade, sitting among the flowers and crying.When Qu Wuchen saw him, he immediately picked him up and whispered softly: "What's the matter, my sweetheart Huyong, he started crying after not seeing Daddy for a while?"

The boy was hugged by Wat Wuchen, and immediately stopped crying, with his head resting on his shoulder, and a pair of big black eyes looking at Xiong Lu and You Meng.

Xiong Lu's jaw dropped in surprise, he had never heard of Qu Wuchen having a son.However, at Qu Wuchen's age, in the age of Spring and Autumn, he was already old and not young, and getting married and having children in his teens was the mainstream.

"Hu Yong, this is the king." Qu Wuchen took Hu Yong's little hand and stretched it towards the Xiong Lu.Hu Yong looked at Xiong Lu, laughed twice, and called out: "Wow..."

Bear Couple: "..."

Qu Wuchen laughed and said: "Your Majesty, this is my son Qu Huyong, he is not good at talking yet."

"Mr. Shen, your son is really handsome." Xiong Lu praised.

Qu Wuchen hugged his son and continued to lead the way, Youmeng touched Xionglu, and whispered in his ear: "It's not his own, it's the posthumous son of his elder brother who was born by a concubine. Duke Shen hasn't married yet."

Xiong Lu squinted at You Meng, thinking, why do you know everything about other people's family affairs?

In the main hall, Wu Chen put his son by his feet and let him flop around.Said: "Your Majesty came here today, he must have something to discuss with your ministers."

Xiong Lu said seriously: "It's Ling Yin's rebellion. I have obtained some information, and I suspect that someone has framed Douban, and there is another person behind the scenes. If he is allowed to go unpunished, I will worry about my family and life. I am here today because I want to personally Check out the evidence found by Shen Gong.”

Wu Chen picked up his son, walked outside the door, and handed it to the young maid at home.Youmeng was very witty and said: "Ameng is waiting outside." Then he ran out to tease the child with the maid.

Qu Wuchen went to the inner room, took out a stack of bamboo slips and silk scripts, and said, "That's all, Your Majesty just read it."

The couple of Xiong went through the file, and also checked the so-called evidence.

"These handwriting, although very similar to Dou Ban's handwriting, may not be able to prove that it was written by Dou Ban. This seal may also be stolen by others, and it may not be done by Dou Ban himself..."

Qu Wuchen looked at the couple with a smile on his face.Xiong Lu talked for a while, seeing that Qu Wuchen didn't seem to care about it, he asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you think about this matter?"

"Why is Your Majesty so sure that it is impossible to be a traitor?" He asked.

"The widow was assassinated that day, and he wanted to protect the widow regardless of life and death."

Qu Wuchen's eyes seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Your Majesty, is he loyal to protect you? Maybe he has some ulterior motives and I don't know. I personally think that His Majesty should abandon him. This is a big deal for His Majesty and the whole court. It's a blessing."

When Xiong Lu heard this, he thought it was true, and felt angrily: "Why do your other clans exclude the Ruo Ao family? Dou Banming is very loyal, why should he bear the infamy?"

Qu Wuchen leaned forward a little, their noses were almost touching, he said in an almost bewitching tone: "Your Majesty, if you abandon him, you can gain stability in the court, why not do it?"

The bear couple was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly came back to their senses.This feeling is too familiar to him, very similar to the trick Guan Fuxiu used to him when he first came to this world.He made up his mind and said, "Mr. Shen, it's not good to defile people's innocence out of thin air."

Qu Wuchen smiled: "Your Majesty can reverse the case for him. The whole case can be investigated again and again. I have no objection."

Faced with Qu Wuchen's attitude, Xiong Lu had nothing to say.He said: "Well, I will order the case to be retried at the court tomorrow."

Xiong Lu glanced at Qu Wuchen, he was looking out of the window, absent-minded.Xiong Lu said: "Mr. Shen, if you have any objections, you might as well speak up. You told me about the way to get rid of the Dou clan before. I want to know how much you did in this incident?"

Xiong Lu knew that he shouldn't point out this point, but at this moment he had no intention of mediating, so he simply pointed it out.Unexpectedly, Qu Wuchen pondered for a while, and said: "Except for the letter with the seal on it, the rest of the letters are all forged by the minister. Even witnesses."

"You!" Xiong Lu was so angry that he almost jumped at the table.

"Your Majesty is sure that Douban did not rebel, so you should already know who did it?"

The Xiong couple kept silent, just waiting for Qu Wuchen to speak.

"It's Doujiao." He said, "He stole Douxiang's seal and forged evidence of his collaborating with the enemy. These ministers all knew about it, but they just pretended not to know."

"then you……"

"My lord, don't you think that this is a golden opportunity? The Dou family is in civil strife, and Dou Jiao framed Dou Ban. If you take this opportunity to get rid of Dou Ban, the power of the Dou family will definitely be halved. Dou Jiao cooperates with the enemy and treacherously. Leave the evidence. If we look for an opportunity to eradicate in the future, it will not be difficult to eradicate the Dou family. Once the two of them leave, the power will return to the king's hands."

"There is no need to do this! Douban is so loyal, is it necessary to drive him out?"

Qu Wuchen said coldly: "If you don't want to kill him, locking him in the dungeon is also a good idea."

Xionglu couldn't imagine that the rest of his proud fighting life would be spent in the dungeon, which was worse than killing him.He slapped the table and said, "No way! Douban is brave and good at fighting, how can we fight and kill the enemy without him?"

"Pan Xie and Lu Jia are both good candidates. Although they are not as brave as Dou Ban and Dou Jiao, their strategy may be better. No matter how bad it is, I can accompany the king to fight in all directions."

At this moment, Xiong Lu didn't know whether he was sad or angry, and when he thought of the scene of protecting himself under his body that night, he felt extremely ashamed.Whose fault is it that Dou Ban defends him like this but ends up miserable?And does he have the ability to clear his stigma?

"Your Majesty, you can retry this case and even punish this minister, and I will have no complaints." Wu Chen said with a blank expression on his face.

Xiong Lu walked out of Duke Shen's mansion in a daze, with what Qu Wuchen said circling in his mind.Yes, he understands everything, but people have feelings and the ability to distinguish right from wrong.How can a living person just give up?

It was getting dark, You Meng accompanied him to the palace city, and several palace people accompanied him.He looked up at the sunset over the city, and couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.
