Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 292 I heard...the father has wanted to kill this person for a long time!

Hearing Lu Guang's reminder, the woman seemed to have found her backbone, calmed down a little, patted her head, and wiped away her tears:
"Look at my memory! When Huan'er died, I was so sad that I couldn't remember anything!"

"His Royal Highness, you also heard that the people you mentioned have all gone back to the countryside to visit relatives, so there is no way to invite them to the North Gate for the time being!"

On the side, Lu Guang kept coughing, pretending to be seriously ill:

"His Royal Highness, can you let Lu go back to the mansion first to rest?"

"To be honest, when I first heard the news of the three children's deaths, Lu had resentment towards His Royal Highness, that's why today he placed the coffin across the north gate to prevent you from entering the capital!"

"But after retrieving the bodies of the three children, Lu thought a lot more just now, thinking that he should not pour all his anger on you. Tens of thousands of soldiers die in battle every year on the four sides of the border. Anbei alone Army, 460 people were killed in battle last year!"

"It's all for the state of Chu. If they die, my son Lu Guang will die too!"

"so……"

"Lu Mou privately thinks that today's farce should be over, and we both take a step back, so that outsiders can see the joke, how about it?"

As soon as this statement came out, many people were puzzled.

Why did Lu Guang, who was aggressive at first, change his mind at this moment and want to reconcile?Isn't this person's attitude towards Jiang's father and son always wanting to get rid of them and then quickly?
He reprimanded Jiang's father and son in the court, never leaving any room for himself, and even stuffed his only three adult heirs into the imperial guards who were going to die when the inn was attacked, showing that It has broken the determination of myself and Jiang's father and son to be incompatible!

But now, why did his tone soften?

Beside him, Jin Xian, who was helping Lu Guang, and the old minister surnamed Luo looked at each other, and there was a haze in their hearts.

Many dignitaries took a sneak peek at the seven black-clothed men's corpses placed at the north gate, and kept moving back quietly, as if they realized that things were out of control, so they hurried away.

But Jiang Qingyu obviously wouldn't agree to reconciliation, nor would he let this group of people get away easily!
"Take a step back?"

I saw him shaking his head slightly:
"Master Lu's three heirs died in the line of duty, and this son would not save him. It is clear that you are responsible for this matter. Why do you want to retire?"

"Could it be..."

"Does Master Lu have ghosts in his heart?"

When he said the last sentence, Jiang Qingyu coldly swept all the officials around.

I saw a lot of people snorting coldly, turning their heads sideways, not daring to meet their eyes.

In this matter, Lu Guang is not the only one with ghosts!
Once the real identities of these men in black are exposed to the world, not only will they not be able to take advantage of the truth, but they will also be charged with harassing the prince, directing and acting to deceive the world!

As for confessing Jing Hong, the mastermind behind the scenes, that is absolutely impossible!
Unless they want to be killed by the Yi Jiu Clan!
But if they don't confess, even if they don't implicate their family members, they will inevitably shed a layer of skin, and even lead to murder!
"He definitely has no evidence, he's just scaring us!"

Some officials were lucky:

"Everyone's appearance was destroyed, and they didn't carry any items that could identify them. It's only been eight or nine hours since they attacked the station. How could they all be recognized?"

"As long as we firmly insist that we don't know the men in black, and don't admit that they are servants of our own family, then even if the other party has doubts and can't produce evidence, they can't do anything to us!"

"We all have official hats on our heads. The lowest one is from the seventh rank, and the highest one is the fourth rank. I don't believe that he dares to completely turn against hundreds of important officials in the court!"

"The participants in this incident are not just our group. His Majesty, Prime Minister Yan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and even the Empress Empress are all involved! I don't believe that His Majesty will just watch our loyal ministers being bullied by bandits from the northern border!"

……

"His Royal Highness, do you really want to make the situation get out of hand?"

At this moment, even Lu Guang, who wanted to pull away, straightened his face, and there was no shortage of threats in his words:
"This is the capital city!"

Jiang Qingyu smiled:
"Lord Lu, I naturally know that this is the capital city, but this is also the territory of Chu State, where the law takes effect!"

"Your Majesty is a diligent and enlightened monarch. Under the Son of Heaven, the laws should be stricter. You should know this better than me, an outsider, don't you?"

Lu Guang was slightly taken aback.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, will the law be stricter?

Compared with Qingzhou under the rule of Qingjiang King Jingxuan, the law enforcement in the city is indeed much stricter, and the actions of the officials are also much restrained, but the reason is not because they are afraid of the law, but because there are too many officials in the city!

Someone once said that, if you pull anyone on the streets of the capital, there is a high probability that you will have a relationship with a certain important official in the court, so officials don't dare to bully the people, in order to avoid trouble.

Unfortunately, hundreds of people are still being bullied by the rich and powerful every day. Not only will their grievances not be redressed, but they will be intercepted and retaliated against!
Hundreds of officials in the capital, with chaotic factions, quarreled endlessly for the interests of various factions in the court every day, but they reached a rare agreement on the issue of targeting the low-level people——

That is to never stand on the side of the untouchables and shake the interests of the officials!

Therefore, the problem of mutual protection between officials and officials is the most serious in the capital of the entire Chu State!
"It seems that His Royal Highness is about to tear his face apart?"

Lu Guang frowned slightly and said:
"I would like to advise you that the conquest of Beidi in the northern border is a great joy for Chu, but it may not be so for you Jiang and his son!"

"The big tree attracts the wind! Right now, you should cut off your tail to survive, not just to show off for a while, and fight us tit-for-tat here, fighting to the death!"

"Today's matter is not small, it is not big, but what is the use of us if we win?"

"His Royal Highness, please think twice before acting!"

"Don't pick up sesame seeds and lose a watermelon instead!"

If what Lu Guang said before was a bit cryptic, then these words are already obvious.

He gave in!

Although he didn't want to admit it, he believed that Jiang Qingyu had mastered the master-servant relationship between their group of dignitaries and the men in black.

As for how to master...

That doesn't matter, whether it was investigated by Huamanlou and Meteor Pavilion, or the men in black who evacuated last night, or someone secretly pointed out, the fact is that the prince of the North refused There is already a way to break the situation!
What Lu Guang has to do is to analyze the pros and cons for the other party.

Sometimes, breaking the game may not be a good thing, showing your sharpness, it is easy to break just after!
Be a fool, pretend that you don't know anything, and suffer this loss on purpose, so that you can live for a long time.

Lu Guang thinks he is a smart person. If he were Jiang Qingyu, he would definitely accompany everyone to finish the play. In this way, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves, and they can leave the capital safely afterwards!

But Jiang Qingyu herself chose to be a fool.

I saw the prince of the royal family gently raised his hand, and several Anbei Army soldiers who carried the bodies of the seven men in black to the north gate took off the face scarves from the men in black.

Immediately, seven bloody faces were exposed in front of everyone.

"ah-- "

Some timid people among the crowd were taken aback and couldn't help but yelled out:
"That's, that's..."

"very scary!"

"What is the origin of this group of people? Not only dare to despise the imperial power, attack the post, but also destroy their appearance in advance, so as not to be found out after death..."

Wise people have already guessed what:
"Didn't you hear the seven names mentioned by His Royal Highness?"

"Seven names, seven corpses, you mean..."

"How is it possible! Master Lu lost three of his sons, while he sent his own heirs to protect the eldest son, and at the same time let the servants of the mansion pretend to be thieves to attack the inn, and finally both of them died cleanly... Is this something normal people can do? "

"I also think it's impossible, but the current posture, nine times out of ten, is the truth!"

……

The whispers of the common people were heard by the dignitaries, making their expressions somewhat unnatural.

At the same time, Jiang Qingyu turned his attention to Lu Guang and asked:

"Master Lu, may I help you introduce these old acquaintances one by one?"

Lu Guang trembled all over, not daring to look at the seven people.

He is a smart man, he took advantage of the royal family's reliance and suspicion on King Rejecting the North these years, and said some words that Emperor Jing Hong would not agree with on the surface but felt very comfortable after listening to him, so as to climb up step by step.

Lu Guang has always spared no effort in dealing with Jiang's father and son. Anyway, he is in the capital, separated from the northern border by Qingzhou or Jizhou.
Besides, he just said what Jing Hong didn't want to say in person. Jiang Qiushui is not a fool, so he should understand that the key to this matter is not himself, but Jing Hong!
Lu Guang just wanted to be an official.

If one day, Jiang Qiushui really succeeds in rebelling, then he, Lu Guang, will definitely write lyrics and books for the other party as soon as possible, praising his achievements, and writing about the crimes of the Jing family with all his pen and ink, describing Jing Hong as a heinous The tyrants, Jiang and his sons are the real dragon emperors who save the people from the fire and water!

"His Royal Highness, why do you want to embarrass me and my humble people?"

There was a hint of begging in Lu Guang's tone:
"If you take a step back today, all the officials in the capital will owe you a favor, and in the future they will help you and the King of Rejecting Bei to say a few nice words in front of His Majesty. Isn't that bad?"

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the officials were all silent, obviously agreeing with Lu Guang's statement.

But Jiang Qingyu sneered:
"Master Lu, what you have done these past few days is not just to form an enmity with me, the Jiangs and his sons, and not to die forever? Why is it that now, when death is imminent, you dare not die righteously and calmly? Instead, you feel timid?"

"Could it be..."

He paused, glanced coldly at all the officials, and shouted in a murderous tone:

"You conspired with all the officials in the city and decided to call on the best men in your respective houses to form a team of thousands of people in black. When you pretended to be thieves and bandits to attack and kill this son, you never thought that something would be revealed and your head would fall. day?"

The last half sentence fell, and the North Gate was silent.

When all the officials heard the word "Head fell to the ground", their eyes were terrified, and the family servants they brought stopped crying for mourning, and stood there in a daze.

When the onlookers heard the truth, they were silent for a while, and then there was an uproar.

"Did I hear you right? What did His Royal Highness just say?"

"Lord Lu and the others mobilized experts from their respective houses to gather thousands of people, pretending to be bandits to attack and kill His Royal Highness?"

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

"His Royal Highness, who has just made great achievements in opening up the territory, is a great hero of the Chu State, and now it is the time when the other party enters the capital according to the order. ..."

"I'm a little confused about the situation. Since he wanted to assassinate the prince, he should have put his heir under the command of Dong Shen for the sake of cooperating with others. Then why did a thousand imperial guards and nearly a thousand men in black die in the end? But none of the Anbei Army was killed? Could it be that the Anbei Army is really so brave that one can count as ten?"

"Didn't you listen just now? It was the Imperial Guards and the man in black who fought together, and in the end both sides were injured. His Royal Highness led the Anbei Army to watch from the sidelines!"

"Then I can't understand even more. If the man in black belongs to your lord's house, why did things turn out like this?"

"To be honest, I don't understand either."

……

While the common people were discussing, Jiang Qingyu spoke again:

"My lords, you are civil servants. According to the law, you are not allowed to keep private soldiers, let alone interfere in military affairs, but you have mobilized thousands of private soldiers to attack the post, assassinate this prince, and even killed a thousand guards of the capital! "

"Although I don't understand why you did that, and I don't know whether the result of the matter is contrary to your original intention, but the deal is done now, the fact is..."

"It was the servants you ordered to send to kill your sons!"

"It was you who killed your own son!"

"At the same time, all these crimes will also kill you!"

After hearing these murderous words, all the nobles could not help but feel frightened.

Someone said bluntly:
"Jiang Qingyu, stop spitting blood!"

"We don't know this group of men in black at all! Don't think that you can slander us for collusion with thieves by just saying a few names of our servants and pulling out a few disfigured corpses!"

"When you do something, you need to tell the evidence!"

"There is no evidence, we will bring the case to court and let His Majesty uphold justice!"

"Yes, let His Majesty personally administer justice!"

……

All the dignitaries regarded Jing Hong as a life-saving straw.

At this moment, they already believed that Jiang Qingyu had at least some evidence to prove that these men in black were servants of the Chaozhong Bai government, but this alone was obviously not enough to put them all to death!
The slave could be a spy lurking in his own house, and he didn't obey his orders. This time, he went out of the city to attack the post station and assassinate Jiang Qingyu. He also had another mastermind, and he and the others knew nothing about it!
As long as they deny it categorically, then the matter will be brought up in front of Jing Hong. I believe that the other party will try his best to keep himself and others for the sake of the loyalty of the officials!
But the dignitaries seem to have overestimated their weight in Jing Hong's heart.

Because of the next moment.

Suddenly, a figure in brocade clothes and official uniform appeared on the north gate of the city, standing side by side with Jing Li.

"Father?"

When the little eunuch Yan Gao saw the person coming, he couldn't help calling out.

That person was the great eunuch Yan Songyu.

Yan Songyu had a dignified expression, holding a scroll of imperial decree in one hand and a sword in the other.

He first glanced around Jiang Qingyu suspiciously, as if looking for someone, then cleared his throat after finding nothing, and said loudly:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said——"

"Order Jiang Qingyu, the heir of the northern prince, to take full responsibility for investigating the attack on the imperial guards, and give the king a sword. Any officials involved in it, as long as their rank is below the third rank, can be killed first and then played!"

After the words fell, Jiang Qingyu looked at Lu Guang, the doctor who was discussing, with a playful face.

It is said that……

Father has wanted to kill this person for a long time!
