Qin Wenzheng stayed, until only he and the emperor were left in the imperial study. The emperor asked, "What do you think about today's affairs?"

Qin Wenzheng was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "The emperor is referring to... King Lu?"

The emperor glanced at him, "Don't play stupid, honestly, I forgive you."

"I don't dare to hide it. In fact, I have been pressing on one thing in my heart, and I don't dare to say it." Qin Wenzheng knelt down suddenly, his tone was low, with unprecedented solemnity.

The emperor frowned, "You get up, there are only you and me in this imperial study, just say something."

Qin Wenzheng stood up, took a deep breath, and walked to the emperor's side.

Although there were only the two of them in the imperial study, Qin Wenzheng's voice was extremely low in case the partition wall had ears, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a reason for King Lu to target Shao Qingyuan and his wife. Shao Qingyuan and his wife discovered his secret, and he wanted to kill someone. Silence."

The emperor was taken aback, "What secret?"

"The two of them saw with their own eyes that the leader of the water bandit wanted in the capital last year had close contacts with King Lu."

The emperor suddenly raised his head in shock, looking at him with an incredible expression, "What did you say?"

Qin Wenzheng said in a low voice, "The minister does not dare to deceive the emperor, this is indeed what they told the minister. It's just that this matter is very important, and the minister does not dare to act rashly without investigating it. However, King Lu knew that the couple saw it, and he The leader of the water bandit has been transferred, and the minister has been secretly searching for it for the past few days, but so far there is no clue."

The emperor looked furious and slapped the table, "You didn't tell me about such a big thing."

"Your Majesty forgives your sin." Qin Wenzheng immediately knelt down, "After all, it is a matter without evidence, and I dare not tell the emperor to worry about it. Moreover, I am not sure whether Shao Qingyuan and his wife really saw it. The king and the Marquis of Huaiyin had a personal grudge, and the minister was worried that they would exaggerate because of some personal grudges. The minister wanted to investigate the matter privately, so as not to wrong the loyal minister. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen today. Keep it a secret, I'm afraid it will…”

This matter was just on the way to the palace, Shao Qingyuan told him.

In fact, along the way, Qin Wenzheng originally wanted to know where the weapons went. However, after hearing this, his attention shifted.

The few of them discussed it, and put forward the date when the leader of the water bandit was discovered, and then took this opportunity to tell the emperor.

Although there is no evidence, King Lu's actions today are enough to make the emperor suspicious, and it is a good time to say it.

The emperor was silent for a while, his expression unpredictable.

King Lu colluded with the leader of the water bandit? King Lu wants to kill Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong?

King Lu, King Lu...

The emperor suddenly remembered the reason why he wanted the leader of the water bandits. It was because the water bandits wanted to kill and overtake merchant ships, but he did not expect that they would be wiped out in one fell swoop. And the news that came out at that time was that the gang of water bandits were going to attack the nobles on the merchant ships.

Coincidentally, Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were on that boat.

Therefore, the water bandits and King Lu have colluded. He attacked them, that is, King Lu wants to kill them?

Why? King Lu and Shao Qingyuan and his wife should have nothing to do with each other before.

The emperor thought of what Gu Yundong was crying just now, was it really because the couple had given him too much credit?

Some things really can't be thought deeply, and when you think about it, the doubts in your heart will grow bigger and bigger.
