Di Renjie and Xu Jingzong looked at each other and heard Di Renjie say calmly: "In that case, please ask Mr. Zheng to go to the prison for a visit."

"Ah!" Zheng Renji's expression changed. He could only stand up, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, please give the order, sir!" Although he was surprised, he quickly calmed down.

Jingzong nodded and looked at Zheng Renji with approving eyes. It was even more valuable to be able to react so easily and understand the reason.

"Come here, please take Mr. Zheng to the Yamen prison and have a good rest." Seeing this, Di Renjie shouted to the soldiers guarding outside: "Put him into a prison car and drive him through the city."

"Farewell." Zheng Renji nodded, raised his hands and said, "I wish you two adults to finish their business as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, I will help you with your safety." Di Renjie smiled and nodded. There was something strange in his eyes.

"Are you sure those people will send people to assassinate Zheng Renji?" Xu Jingzong looked at Zheng Renji's leaving figure and asked Di Renjie with a frown.

"Zhao Shida is dead. All the files have disappeared. If we find that Zheng Renji has the evidence that Zhao Shida left before his death, it will definitely alarm that person." Di Renjie said unhurriedly. But his eyes

There was a hint of sadness in his face, as if he had thought of something.

"We originally wanted to alert the snake and lure the snake out of its hole. Zheng Renji is the bait, and the bait will make others fall for it." Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "Presumably by this time, the news of Zheng Renji's arrest has spread throughout Luoyang, Huaiying,

It’s time for you to set off.”

"I'm going to Hongnong now." Di Renjie nodded and said.

Indeed, just as Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie expected, the imperial guards escorted Zheng Renji through the city and was imprisoned all the time. Everyone in the Luoyang officialdom was in danger. Immediately afterwards, there was news from the imperial envoy's headquarters that Zhao Shida was on the way.

Before his death, there was a list of officials involved in corruption in Luoyang. And this list is now in the hands of Zheng Renji. According to the current situation, it is only a matter of time that this list is obtained by the imperial envoy.

When the news spread, it instantly shocked the entire Luoyang officialdom. It spread out from Luoyang like a big storm. Who is Zheng Renji? It can be said that he is related to the Guandong family and the Luoyang family. When he is unlucky, it can be said that

It shook half of Guandong. The officialdom of Luoyang has been connected with the officialdom of Chang'an since ancient times. It took only one day for the news from Luoyang to reach Chang'an. Now not only was there turmoil in the officialdom of Luoyang, but also there were problems in the officialdom of Chang'an.

"It seems that Zhao Shida really has something up his sleeve." In Changsun Wuji's mansion, Changsun Wuji also frowned. He originally wanted to draw Lu Zhaoci's attention away from Liu Hui, Wu Neng and others. By the way,

To attack the Guandong family, after all, there is no proof of death, but what I didn't expect was that Zhao Shida's own death would not count, and he also left a list. No one knows what is written on this list. The most important thing is that the other party has already

Dead, what is written on it is the final evidence, and no one can erase it. As long as you get the list, you can arrest people according to the list. No one can escape, because no one can guarantee how clean their butt is.

The officialdom in Luoyang is extremely complicated, not only related to the eastern forces, but also the Guanzhong forces. Changsun Wuji cannot guarantee whether there are any Guanzhong officials involved, and in the end, how many Guanzhong officials will be involved. Changsun Wuji is also concerned about this.

Worried.

"Yeah, no one thought that a chess piece would actually become a chess player at this moment, and play a winning chess game that no one could crack." Wang Gui shook his head. The bitterness on his face became even stronger. Who knew Zhao Shida's

What are the things in the list? Once these things fall into the hands of Xu Jingzong and others, according to Xu Jingzong's vicious methods, even the skinny ones will spit them out. By then, not only the Guandong family or the Guanzhong family

Everyone fell into it, and Wang Gui didn't know what to do.

"No, there is still a way to rescue." Wei Ting shook his head and said: "The first way is to silence all the officials in Luoyang. However, this method is too harmful to the world. If it can't be used, don't use it.

Another way is to keep the list in your own hands. This way you can avoid all dangers. If not, you can also use this method to obtain more benefits." After hearing this, Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui naturally understood what Wei Ting meant.

What it means is that by controlling the people on the list according to the list, whether the person is from a Guanzhong family or a Guandong family, you can increase your own and others' strength to a certain extent.

"How could it be so easy to get the list?" Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Now that Zheng Renji is imprisoned by Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong will probably be able to get the list in his hands in a short time.

I'm afraid our efforts have been in vain."

"Hehe, let's see who is on the list at the moment." A smile appeared on Wei Ting's lips.

"Is it possible that Brother Wei already has news?" Changsun Wuji looked at Wei Ting in surprise, feeling extremely bitter in his heart. Once upon a time, he was like this in Chang'an City. Every move in Chang'an City was in his hands, but

It is indeed impossible at the moment. Lu Zhaoci's methods are too powerful. In the whole world, he only needs one imperial guard and no others. He has a combative attitude towards civilian intelligence agencies, especially the intelligence agencies of ministers.

, even more so. For example, when Li Shimin was here, he established an intelligence agency modeled after Jin Yiwei. This intelligence agency was controlled by Changsun Wuji. During Li Shimin's time, this intelligence agency fell into the hands of Changsun Wuji. Over the years,

, this intelligence agency not only did not strengthen at all, but was suppressed by the Jinyiwei and could not move. Now all Changsun Wuji can do is to use his own intelligence agency to protect his courtyard. He does not even know whether his courtyard feels safe.

I know. So when I heard Wei Ting's words, I was even more surprised and happy.

"The most well-informed person is the imperial court. The first is the Jinyiwei, and the second is the Punishment Department. Otherwise, how can the Punishment Department solve the case. The power of the Punishment Department in the capital is not inferior to that of the Jinyiwei." Wei Ting said with a smile: "Xiaoguan

After many years in the Ministry of Punishment, I am still somewhat popular. The Ministry of Punishment is naturally very concerned about the incident in Dongdu. So it is normal for me to get some information." Changsun Wuji and others also nodded, it is understandable to get information in this way.

.They naturally know what Wei Ting means by "popularity", it's just because there are still people from him in the Ministry of Punishment.

"Who is on the list at this moment?" Wang Gui asked impatiently.

"Zheng Renji's daughter Zheng Liwan is in Chang'an City at the moment, but she doesn't know where she is." Wei Ting frowned and shook his head, saying: "It's strange to say that there is another person in the dark.

Looking for Zheng Liwan. But I don’t know which force this person belongs to. It’s really strange.”

"That must be the mastermind behind the scenes." A sneer appeared on Changsun Wuji's lips, without the slightest feeling that he was also the mastermind behind the scenes, controlling all of this.

"This person has such great strength in Chang'an City, which can only mean one thing. This person is in Chang'an City." Wang Gui nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that under our noses, he actually

It’s surprising that there is such a force! Guess who is behind this?"

Changsun Wuji and Wei Ting looked at each other, and finally shook their heads, obviously not understanding who these people hiding in the dark were. Finally, Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "If they are not from Jin Yiwei, they are also

I just don’t know which prince they are from the royal family. King of Wei? King of Wu? King of Shu? It’s all possible. Hmph! The East Palace has been decided, and these princes still haven’t given up their ambitions. They deserve to be killed.” Wang

Gui and Wei Ting shook their heads after hearing this. Naturally, it was hard for them to talk about this matter. When they were dismissed, the prince did not say anything. Although they both knew that at this time, no matter what the prince said, it would be of no use.

Yes, but emotionally, I still can’t accept it.

"Could it be the prince?" Wang Gui swallowed and glanced at Changsun Wuji.

"It can't be him." Changsun Wuji shook his head without thinking, and said: "I know who the prince is. He can't do such a thing, and he doesn't bother to do it. I see

Come on, it is possible for the King of Wei to do it. Huh! On the surface, he is a humble gentleman and gentle, but secretly he is insidious and cunning. It is possible for such a person who does not know his own abilities to do it." Changsun Wuji frowned.

, his words could not help but become serious. When Wei Ting saw this, he shook his head towards Wang Gui.

"That's the other princes." Wei Ting sneered: "I wonder what your Majesty's reaction will be when he finds out that the person behind this matter is his own son. Hehe, will he still be so calm and uphold fairness?

?”

"Okay, let's control Zheng Liwan first. Other things are not what we can care about." Changsun Wuji frowned and said: "First pick our people out of the Eastern Capital, and then think about it.

Other matters. What the Emperor considers so much is not something we can decide. At this time, what I hope is that His Majesty leaves Chang'an as soon as possible. We can also put an end to Liu Hui's matter and avoid long nights and dreams. Your Majesty stays in Chang'an for one more day, and we

The chance of not being attached is much higher. As for how the emperor will deal with the prince afterwards, we will just see." Wei Ting and Wang Gui heard this and could only nod their heads and stopped talking.

"Ke'er, if you weren't preparing to get married in the palace, why did you come to the emperor?" In the imperial study room, Lu Zhaoci raised his head, looked at Lu Ke opposite him, then quickly lowered his head and continued to reply to the emperor.

Memorials on the case.

"My son, seeing my father working hard all day long, felt uneasy. It happened that the lotus flowers were in full bloom in the garden of the palace, which was very beautiful, so I boldly asked my father to come to Shu Palace to enjoy the lotus flowers." Lu Ke lowered his head and said respectfully.

.

"Appreciating the lotus?" Lu Zhaoci raised his head in surprise, glanced at Lu Ke, and after a while, he said with a smile: "I have long heard that there is a huge lotus pond in the Prince of Shu's palace, with countless lotus plants planted in it.

Lotus flowers are very beautiful when summer comes. I have long wanted to see them. Well, since my son is so filial, if I don’t go, wouldn’t I be sorry for my son’s filial piety. Let’s go, let’s go now. Go and invite you.

Mother and concubine go."

"Father, this, my mother and concubine are dedicated to Buddhist matters. I'm afraid she is still in the Buddhist hall at the moment. I think it's better not to disturb her." Lu Ke's expression changed after hearing this and he quickly dissuaded her.

"Oh! Don't you call me mother and concubine?" Lu Zhaoci stopped, raised his head and looked at Lu Ke, finally nodded and said: "Okay, I'll just follow you, don't call anyone else, just you and me, father and son.

"There was nothing strange on Lu Zhaoci's face, and he didn't care too much. He changed into regular clothes, and led several guards under the leadership of Lu Ke and came towards the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

On the carriage, Lu Zhaoci took a deep look at Lu Ke and said, "Tell me! Why should you hide anything from your mother and concubine? It's not your character and style to lead me to your house alone and be so cautious.

Ah!" He could see clearly in the palace that Lu Ke had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he was obviously worried. Moreover, the lotus pond in Lu Ke's mansion had bloomed many times, but Lu Ke never

He had never invited himself to his mansion, but this time it was not the case. He personally entered the palace and invited himself to the Prince of Shu's mansion. The matter itself was strange. What's more, Lu Ke's mysterious appearance made Lu Zhaoci feel strange.

Well, at this time, if Lu Zhaoci couldn't guess that Lu Ke had nothing on his mind, he wouldn't be able to rule the entire world.

"My father is wise and wise. How can I hide a little trick from my son from my father?" Lu Ke touched his head in embarrassment, and flatly flattered Lu Zhaoci in his words.

"It is said that the King of Shu is resolute and never speaks nice words. Even my father rarely listens. Why is my son acting like this today? My father is very curious!" Lu Zhaoci laughed loudly after hearing this.

"I don't dare to deceive my father. I'm inviting my father to come today. Of course, I'm here to invite my father to admire the lotus flowers, but more importantly, I'm inviting my father to meet someone." Lu Ke's face straightened when he heard this.

He quickly handed over his hands and said: "This person is of great importance. I think her appearance cannot be known to outsiders. That's why I made this excuse and asked my father to forgive me."

"Who is he?" Lu Zhaoci frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ke and said. His eyes were cold, but there was no emotion at all. He could make Lu Ke so cautious. This shows the importance of this person. In his heart,

Lu Zhaoci couldn't help but become nervous, as if he could predict something was going to happen. He couldn't help but sit upright.

"Zheng Liwan. Zheng Renji's daughter." Lu Ke did not dare to hide it and said quickly: "I suddenly received a letter from the novice monk of Baoguo Temple yesterday, and I found out that Zheng Liwan had lived in Baoguo Temple for three days. She said she had something important to tell you.

My son, my son just went to see her. He brought her into the house last night."

"What's so important?" Lu Zhaoci's expression changed and he looked at Lu Ke and asked. He knew that Zheng Liwan couldn't find anyone, but she wanted to find Lu Ke. It was just because of the other party's reputation as a "virtuous king" that Lu Ke could do it rashly.

Bringing Zheng Liwan to his mansion is obviously not an ordinary thing.

"About the matter in the Eastern Capital." Sure enough, Lu Ke opened his mouth and said: "Then Zhao Shida once visited Zheng Renji's mansion before he died. After the two talked for a while, they left an account book, which recorded that in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital

During the construction process, the list of officials involved in corruption was revealed. I did not dare to neglect, so I quickly found a way to get my father to come and inquire in person."

"Have you read the list?" Lu Zhaoci's expression changed, and he stared at Lu Ke and asked.

"I have seen it." Lu Ke's expression changed, but he still nodded, with a frank look in his eyes.

Zhao Ci took a deep look at Lu Ke, and seeing that his expression did not change, he nodded and slowly leaned towards the car behind him. He did not speak for a long time.

"What do you think of this matter?" There was silence in the carriage for a long time before Lu Zhaoci asked softly. There was a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

"I don't dare to say anything." Lu Ke opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out. He was obviously worried about something.
