"What did father-in-law say?"

Qi Yunzhou was surprised and stood up quickly, making a show of leaving. Xia Zhang was not willing to let him go, so he immediately grabbed hold of him, but he did not dare to make any serious move, he could only beg for help.

"Sir! Sir, please stay for a moment and listen to what I have to say."

After all, he managed to catch Qi Yunzhou, Xia Zhang said with a wry smile: "It was the governor who made the mistake, and I accidentally misunderstood the husband. The fact that the young master of the Lu family fell into the water was certainly not Dongchang's fault. The governor and Commander Lu have always been on good terms. If you don't violate the river, how can you do what you do?"

Qi Yunzhou thought about it. Xia Zhang must have done a lot of bad things, but even so, he was definitely not brave enough to dare to touch anyone in the Jin Yiwei, especially the young master of the Lu family with such a special status.

Xia Zhang further explained: "Sir, please listen to what I have to say. This matter is a huge misunderstanding."

Then, Xia Zhang explained the matter from beginning to end. It turned out that since the news came out that Lu Hanjiang was going to return to Beijing, all the forces in Beijing were interested.

Some want to surrender, some want to test, and some are looking for information. During this period, anyone who can have a relationship with Commander Lu is extremely busy.

And this young master of the Lu family is even more important. Everyone knows that he is the commander's biological brother. In the eyes of the world, blood is thicker than water, so the weight of this biological brother is naturally much heavier than that of outsiders.

Therefore, Lu Sicheng has recently received the attention of various forces, and Xia Zhang is one of them.

In the conscience of heaven and earth, Xia Zhang had never had any thoughts about this young master Lu. He just followed the crowd and sent people to keep an eye on him like the big guys.

After all, the existence of a brother is really special. If Bao Buqi follows him, he can dig out some big news about Mr. Lu, so all the forces are not willing to miss it.

But it happened that at this time, some daring guy pushed the young master down on the boat, so that he could die. Among the people watching that day, no one knew how to swim.

The spies sent by Dongchang are all good at it, and they are naturally good at it, but how the hell do they go out to rescue people in such a thing, so even if all the informants around them are capable of saving people, no one dares to risk being exposed and go into the water.

As a result, a group of people watched helplessly as Young Master Lu lost half of his life. It was better now. Everyone still didn't know which hero pushed the young Master on that day, but the commander's anger was real.

Young Master Lu fell into the water in the morning. Before noon, the Jin Yiwei had secretly stirred up a storm. One by one, the informants of all the forces present were all invited to the Yamen for tea by the Jin Yiwei.

For ordinary people, Jin Yiwei can still be reasonable, knowing that these people don't have the courage, so Jin Yiwei comes to the door as a routine matter, and gives up after questioning.

But towards the East Factory, the Jinyiwei were not so friendly. There was the example of Zou Ji from the West Factory. Now that the Jinyiwei saw them castrating the dog, their attitude was quite bad.

No one doubts Jin Yiwei's ability, and Dongchang has indeed sent people. A few clues are enough for Jin Yiwei to come to ask for someone.

Originally, Xia Zhang planned to use his status as the admiral of Dongchang to suppress the other party's prestige. As a result, Deputy Qianhu Cui Yixiao came to the door to ask for someone but was blocked. In the afternoon, Wu Qianshi came to the door in person.

When they saw Wu Qiming bringing people here, everyone in Xia Zhang was dumbfounded. Now that Meng Yuan is missing and the two colleagues are missing, who doesn't know that under the commanding officer, this person is the most powerful person? .

When Wu Qiming came to visit, it was equivalent to Commander Lu coming in person. However, because Master Lu's status was too important, if he came, he would probably involve Cao Yuan in the end.If this matter comes to His Majesty, Cao Yuan will be scolded at most, and Lu Hanjiang will be fined a small salary. As for Xia Zhang, he reckons that if he can keep a complete body, it will be His Majesty's mercy.

There was nothing to say. Wu Qiming came to ask for him in person. Xia Zhang didn't dare to say a word and watched helplessly as the other party dragged away Xu Ping, the second stall driver of Dongchang who was crying for his father and mother.

Even after the second stall holder was taken away, Xia Zhang not only did not dare to feel resentful, but instead hurriedly began to separate the relationship immediately.

The place where Lu Sicheng fell into the water was a boat on the river. There was a mixture of fish and dragons there. Moreover, the scene was chaotic when he fell into the water. It is not the most terrible thing that the murderer cannot be caught. What is terrible is that Jinyiwei cannot catch anyone. If they want to find someone to take the blame, then Dongchang is simply It's the perfect choice.

First of all, there was a dispute between Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Secondly, it was unusual for people from Dongchang to appear there. As Qi Yunzhou said, the scope of Dongchang’s activities was the forbidden inner palace. Since the West Factory was gone, they still served as There were many people who monitored the minister's house.

But no matter what, Lu Sicheng was a ten-year-old child. In terms of status, both his parents were white. In terms of family, although Lu Yannian was an official of the Ministry of Rites, he was an uncle and nephew who were far away from each other.

The only reason why Dongchang appeared at the scene where Lu Sicheng fell into the water was probably Lu Hanjiang, his brother. If you think so, wouldn't this be Dongchang's motive?

At this time, Xia Zhang could no longer care about the life and death of Xu Ping, the second stall driver. All he could think about now was to take out himself.

Although he had once despised his godfather Cao Yuan's indecisiveness, when he faced the ferocious beast of Jin Yiwei, he realized that it was not that his godfather was too weak, but that his opponent was too strong.

Faced with the pressure of Jin Yiwei, Xia Zhang now has no ambitions and only wants to survive, so in the past two days, he has been like an ant on a hot pot looking for people to come up with ideas.

At this critical moment, Qi Yunzhou came into Xia Zhang's sight. The other party was the vice president of the academy. More importantly, Commander Lu had worshiped Luo Yuanjing as his disciple, and he and the other party were considered brothers in the same discipline.

Xia Zhang knew very well that if he came to the door in person, he would be in trouble, so he planned to find someone who could speak to Jin Yiwei to step in for him.

Originally, he thought about asking Yang Zhiyuan, the young master of the Yang family, to come forward, but who knew, that boy was as slippery as a loach. Before the person he sent out could say anything, he pushed him four, five, six, and later it was simply I would rather offend Dongchang than see anyone.

So now, all Xia Zhang can count on is Qi Yunzhou.

Qi Yunzhou was relieved to understand Xia Zhang's request. He smiled and excused himself as unable to do anything, but after Xia Zhang said all kinds of things and promised a lot of benefits, he "helplessly" agreed.

After taking over the matter, Qi Yunzhou actually went to the Lu Mansion, but he did not intercede for Xia Zhang. Instead, he directly recounted everything the other party said to Lu Hanjiang. As for how the commander would judge, Then it's none of his business.

"I see," after listening to Qi Yunzhou's words, Lu Hanjiang nodded, and then said with some embarrassment: "Senior Brother Qi, this matter is difficult."

Qi Yunzhou asked curiously: "Could it be that your Excellency really found something from the second stall driver of Dongchang?"

"That's not true," Lu Hanjiang spread his hands: "This matter should not be done by Dongchang, but I couldn't find any results for a while, and it was hard to explain to my uncle who always dragged me, so I ordered the brothers who were sent to prison We asked Xu Pinghua to plead guilty."

Qi Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, and then said sternly: "Your Excellency, you are wise. From what I see, it is probably Dongchang who did this."
