Chapter 750
Thousands of rocks and valleys are tireless, and you can only know the source when you look at it from a distance.

How can the stream be kept, the sea will eventually become the waves.

—— "Waterfall couplet"

The first couplet: Zen master Huangbo; the second couplet: Tang Xuanzong Li Chen
……

Zuojinwuwei Zhangyuan is located in the imperial city, outside the first palace wall, near Zhaoxun Gate, and consists of [-] halls hanging on the top of the hill.

All other government offices in the imperial city have their doors open to the outside, and a screen wall separates the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard.

The Jinwu Weizhangyuan is different, and a circle of red flame-colored pointed ridge walls has been built around the outer gate of the palace.

Looking from the outside of the official office, you can only see the vermilion lacquered gate, the swords, guns, halberds and banners lined up at the gate, which looks mysterious, solemn and murderous.

This is because the Jinwu Guard is responsible for guarding the gates on the south side of the imperial city, and has a large number of cavalry armed with guns and arrows stationed all year round.

Soldiers are murder weapons, so a scarlet wall should be used to block the chilling evil spirit, so as not to affect the peaceful atmosphere of the imperial city.

Surrounded by a large group of attendants, the three patriarchs of the Lu family and the Cui family came to the Zuo Jinwu Weizhangyuan, and walked towards the official office.

Four Jinwu guards in full body armor and armed with halberds crossed the long lances and stopped him.

"The security of this department is very important. Those who don't have a fish bag are not allowed to enter. Please forgive me." Seeing the three patriarchs dressed in luxurious clothes, and the soldiers holding halberds leaning over the halberds, they spoke very politely.

"You don't know the old man, and I don't blame you. Hurry up and tell Bai Fu to come and see me!" The patriarch of the Lu clan looked haughty, pointing his fingers at the Jinwu guards.

"May I ask the honored guest's name?"

"Hmph, the patriarch of the Lu clan." The patriarch of the Lu clan twisted his beard with his hand and snorted coldly.

Before he finished speaking, a general walked out from the vermilion lacquer gate and bowed to the three patriarchs. It was Zhangchou Qiongyu.

Zhang Chouqiong said with a foolish smile: "My general has been waiting for a long time, and the three elders are welcome." After speaking, he leaned his body and led the three patriarchs into the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the three patriarchs were shocked.

In the huge courtyard, dozens of coffins were neatly arranged, dark and dense.A few jackdaws hovered over several hundred-year-old pines and cypresses in the courtyard, their croaking noises made the atmosphere even more bleak and chilling.

"This is?" The patriarch of the Lu clan was stunned and blurted out.

Zhang Qiuqiong said in a deep voice: "This is the brother of my family who died when the great general was assassinated in the imperial city. The general said that he will be buried in a grand manner after the murderer is brought to justice. Die without regret."

The three patriarchs secretly thought it was not good, Bai Fu listed the formation, making it clear that they would not let it go.

The three patriarchs bit the bullet and walked into the palace, and their personal attendants were stopped by the burly guards holding halberds.

In the Weihu hall, there were only a dozen high-ranking generals of the Jinwu Guards and the Yingwu Army with distinctive armor, sitting on both sides of the commander's table, fierce and murderous.

In the middle of the handsome table sits a tiger general, with a lion helmet and silver armor, and his face is as sinking as water.

The three patriarchs only felt that they had entered the palace of Hades, and the pores of their bodies were filled with chills.

"General Bai is so powerful!" Qinghe Cui's patriarch sneered.

Bai Fu didn't comment, didn't get up, and said calmly: "Three elders, forgive me for wearing armor, so I won't give you a gift. Come, give the three elders seats."

Seeing Bai Fu's arrogance, the patriarch of the Lu clan slapped him, and the fire came up, pointing at Bai Fu and angrily scolded: "My son, Bai Fu, release my grandson Lu Zi quickly. If he loses a hair, I will let you There is no place to die!"

"Qing Lang", the generals unsheathed their swords and glared at the three patriarchs.

Bai Fu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lu Ge feels uncomfortable. He just complained, so why take it seriously. Come on, show Mr. Lu Ge the documents seized by Fan Yang."

Two soldiers brought in a large wooden box, opened the box lid, and the inside was densely packed with correspondence and account books.Zhang Qiuqiongyu randomly picked out a few files and handed them to the Lu clan chief.

The patriarch of the Lu clan was a little dazed, and moved the file to a distance, only to see the small script in the file clearly.

The generals seemed to have already known the content of the dossier, they were silent, it seemed that the Weihu Hall was extremely quiet, only the heavy breathing of the Lu clan chief was heard.

After watching it, the patriarch of the Lu clan seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

He let out a long sigh, and said: "General Bai, the old man admits to being killed, and the children of Lu Zi's clan want to be killed or cut to pieces, so please do as you please."

After all, the Lu clan head stood up tremblingly, leaning on the dragon head crutch, ignored the other two Cui clan heads, staggered and walked out of the Weihu hall on their own.

The two chiefs of the Cui clan took a look at the dossier, which contained detailed evidence of the collusion between the Lu clan members who stayed in Fanyang and the rebels, including the sale of a large amount of ordnance and military supplies to generals under Shi Siming's command.

This alone is enough to kill the entire Lu family of Fan Yang.

Several personal soldiers brought in two large wooden boxes and placed them in front of the two Cui clan chiefs.

The patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan did not open the lid of the box, but looked at Bai Fu, waiting for Bai Fu to speak.

Bai Fu said calmly: "I would like to ask Mr. Cui Ge to tell Mr. Lu Ge that the lives of members of the Lu clan are meaningless to me. As long as Mr. Lu agrees to two conditions, His Majesty can let the past go."

Qinghe Cui Clan Chief said: "Master Bai, please tell me."

Bai Fudao: "First, the Lu family in Fanyang must obey the command of the Anxi Army's battalion and cooperate with the Anxi Army's secret spies in Fanyang City to carry out activities.

Second, families with five surnames and seven Wangs should not intervene in the battle for succession among the princes, keep a distance from all princes, including the prince, and do not secretly support a prince behind his back.This is also the meaning of His Majesty. "

The patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan looked solemn.The matter was so important that he had to confirm with Bai Fu again, and asked, "It's that simple, is there anything else?"

Bai Fu smiled lightly and said, "No, it's as simple as that."

The patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan had bright eyes and said: "Okay, on behalf of the Lu clan of Fan Yang, I agree to General Bai's conditions.

At the same time, I would also like to ask Lord Bai to reply to His Majesty, I, the Cui family of Qinghe, will never interfere with the abolition of the crown prince. "

Bai Fu got up, walked to Qinghe Cui Clan Chief, and made an oath of oath with high five.

When it was the Boling Cui clan's turn, the head of the Boling Cui clan refused to sign the contract.

The patriarch of the Cui clan of Boling became furious, tore the file in his hand to pieces, snorted coldly, and said: "How dare you slander the children of my clan for committing crimes?!
When the old man was in power, you were not born yet.

Don't say that these files of yours may not be true, even if the evidence is convincing, I, the Cui clan, will not be able to punish you, a little poor boy.

My Boling Cui clan has big roots and deep roots, and my disciples and old officials are all over the world.If you have the guts, give it a try and see what you can do with me? " After saying that, the patriarch of the Cui clan of Boling lifted up his robe and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

The head of the Cui clan of Boling walked to the door of the Weihu Hall, and heard Bai Fu's voice from behind: "Old Cui Ge, I won't see you off."
