Lin Jiabiyu

Xu Luwen's eyeballs followed the album for more than half a circle. Hearing Lu Junzhao's question, his mind was still a little bit unturned. He blinked and looked at Lu Junzhao, then laughed and said, "It's nothing! What can I do for this old man? This old man just came to see how the general is doing, hehe."

Lu Junzhao stared into Xu Luwen's eyes, sneered, turned around and walked into the house.

Xu Luwen's eyes froze, and then he grabbed Lu Junzhao's sleeve, quickly wrapped his hands around Lu Junzhao's arm, and cried out loudly: "There is something to do...General, listen to the old man, the old man is I have something to ask you to come here with a shy face, you need to help me... The future of my old Xu family depends on the general..."

Xu Luwen lowered his head while howling, rubbing his face on his sleeves carelessly, crying so heartbreakingly, like a mourning concubine.

The corners of Lu Junzhao's mouth twitched and twitched, his brows frowned, and he pushed Xu Luwen away impatiently, and said coldly, "Stop acting, talk about it!"

Xu Luwen immediately stood up straight, but still lowered his head and pretended to wipe away the tears that he didn't have at all. He sighed while wiping, and explained in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, the old brother, Xu Lufeng, was the one who was there before. Didn’t the general’s subordinates who have done things receive the imperial decree this time to take over as the general of Xuncheng? But my clan disciple was so straightforward that he was suppressed to death, and he didn’t hand over the military power for a long time. My brother was so anxious that his hair turned gray I begged this old man because I had no choice. After much deliberation, this old man couldn’t come up with a safe solution. This time I really have the cheek to beg you, this old man is ashamed.”

"You still know how to be ashamed?" Lu Junzhao raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept across Xu Luwen's face with a half-smile.Flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Xu Luwen pouted while standing on the spot, caught a glimpse of the big box on the ground out of the corner of his eye, hummed a tune proudly, walked out slowly shaking his head with his hands behind his back.

On the other side of Chang'an Avenue, Lin Chengxiao was crossing shoulders with several sons and sisters in a private room in a theatrical garden, hugging a few singing girls and making fun of each other. The gasps and moans of the men and women in the room came and went one after another.

Lin Chengxiao held a graceful woman with blushing cheeks in his arms, and reached into the thin fabric with one hand to hold the woman's chest and knead wantonly.Holding the woman's hand all the way down, he untied the belt and poked it in from the obscene pants, holding his lower body and slowly turning it upside down, and kept moving his mouth towards the woman's face.

The next few sons and brothers are also similar.One of them was a young man in his early twenties, with a broad face and wearing a moon-white gown, watching Lin Chengxiao's movements with great interest.A sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

After a while, Lin Chengxiao panted heavily and let go of the singing girl's hand, exhaled contentedly, squeezed the singing girl's body a few times indiscriminately, pulled up his trousers and tied up his belt, and then pushed the girl away.He smiled triumphantly at the young man opposite him and said, "Don't worry, Second Brother Wen. That matter is on my shoulders. Xining Palace is my in-law of the Lin family, so Lu Junzhao has to call me uncle. As long as I Say, there is nothing wrong with this matter! For my sake, I can give you a few words..."

Lin Chengxiao paused, and immediately next to him was a young man with swollen eyes and a blue face, hugging a singing prostitute who kept moving, panting and grinning, and added: "Commander, a position that is too high, we don't want it either. Commander is fine, hehe .” The words did not finish.He pinched the geisha's waist and kept shaking it, panting heavily.

"Yes, yes, Commander!" Lin Chengxiao patted the table and nodded excitedly, and when he was excited, he dragged the singing girl over and pinched it everywhere.

The singing girl who was pushed away by Lin Chengxiao just now, with her clothes scattered and her body half naked, with a soft smile on her face, her body limply clung to Lin Chengxiao's body, but she sneered in her heart, lowered her head, and a look of extreme pain flashed in her eyes. disgust and disdain.

Ding Changan was sitting with his legs crossed at the moment, in an extremely inconspicuous corner downstairs, drinking some wine, squinting his eyes and humming softly following the libretto on the stage, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

After a scene was sung, Lin Chengxiao and his sons and sons went downstairs one after another, and they went out with their arms around the singing prostitutes, making fun of them.Ding Changan glanced at Lin Chengxiao's back, picked up the peanuts and threw them into his mouth, chewing slowly, holding the wine glass in his hand and hooking the corners of his mouth.

Not long after, the singing girl who followed Lin Chengxiao out just now turned back, twisted her waist, walked towards Ding Changan with a coquettish smile, gently put one hand on Ding Changan's back, and slapped her in circles lightly and heavily. .

"Master Ding is in a good mood today." The woman's voice was so charming that water flowed out, her hands slowly ran down Ding Chang'an's back, her waist slightly twisted, and she turned around. It turned to Ding Changan's chest, then his abdomen, and then slowly went down.

Ding Changan smiled and held the woman's wanton hand, with a teasing tone in his tone: "The matchmaker is getting more and more attractive, this little hand is really soft." He said, and kissed it provocatively. relative.

The matchmaker turned her eyes away and pulled her hands away. The flattery on her face just now changed to a cold one. She straightened up and sat opposite Ding Changan. She poured a glass of wine on her own, looked at Ding Changan and said with a sneer : "The second master Lin was urged by the Wen family and the Zhao family to go to General Lu of the Xining Palace to ask for a military post. I heard that what kind of commander is he looking for? It is best to be in the Hengcheng and Xuncheng areas. work."

Ding Chang'an's eyes flashed, and then he sneered, these sons and sisters really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, they are so stupid, he doesn't even bother to disdain them!

"Thank you for this, I owe you a favor." Ding Changan picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for the matchmaker himself, raised the glass himself, and said solemnly.

The matchmaker took the glass of wine, but didn't drink it, she just looked at Ding Changan, her gaze changed from irony to calm, and finally a trace of loneliness flashed through.The matchmaker smiled self-deprecatingly, raised her neck and drank the wine in the glass. "Okay, it's not easy to get a favor from you, Ding Changan. Speaking of which, I've earned it. You drink slowly and leave."

Ding Changan looked at the back of the matchmaker, and sighed with emotion. Since ancient times, there have been so many strange women in the world, it is a pity for the matchmaker.

As for Lin Chengxiao, Ding Changan glanced at Ling Ling, then drank the wine in the jug in one gulp, and threw a small silver dime on the table.Stride out of the theater.

In the afternoon, Jingzhao Mansion issued a martial law order. Jingzhao Yin Li Mingchao personally took people to the Town God's Temple, checked every corner, and dug up the corpses of those assassins under Zhou Chuan's guidance.

A group of yamen servants covered their mouths and frowned cautiously around Wu Zuo, watching Wu Zuo check and check again and again around the corpse.

Li Mingchao frowned, grabbed his hair and stomped his feet, followed behind Wu Zuo's butt and asked impatiently, "What's wrong?"

Reluctantly, he shook his head in cold sweat for several operations. "Return to your lord's words. There is nothing wrong with it. Except for the scar from the sword, everything else is normal."

Li Mingchao kicked one of the gangsters, pulled his beard and cursed: "Useless things!"

The group walked all the way back to Jingzhao Mansion along Chang'an Avenue.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Luwen squinted his eyes at the two rows of yamen servants, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, then he closed the door and entered the house.

Xu time.In the dim night, there are few people in the streets and alleys of the capital, and the silence is extremely quiet. From time to time, there are patrolling yamen servants passing by.Li Mingchao, wearing an old homely shirt, hurried all the way to the back alley of the Third Prince's Mansion with only a middle-aged staff member.Entered the mansion through the side door.After staying for half an hour, he came out in a hurry and went all the way back to Li's mansion around Wan'er.

Wait until Li Mingchao's figure disappears into the alley.A few black shadows emerged without a sound, whispered to each other, and then dispersed.Not long after, two other shadows landed on the wall at the entrance of the alley, and then disappeared into the night.

Zhu Eryin was hidden in the dense bushes, staring coldly at the figure flashing past under the dim light at the other end of the alley, for a long while.Only then gently pushed aside the bushes, and slowly hid in the darkness.walked away.

Five days later in the morning, Li Mingchao, under the glaring gaze of King Xining, bit the bullet and broke out in cold sweat, and talked about the situation of the investigation of the Town God's Temple. He felt deeply guilty and guilty in his words, and begged His Majesty to give him some time.

Emperor Cheng Ming stared at Li Mingchao coldly, waved his hand after a long time, and dismissed Li Mingchao's request in a bad tone.

The hall was surprisingly quiet for a moment, only the sound of people breathing one after another could be heard.

Lang Zhongliang of the Ministry of Rites lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, staring at Emperor Cheng Ming's face, stepped forward and replied: "My Majesty, Mr. Li is old, and there are many troubles in the capital recently, so it is inevitable that you will not be able to work hard. I dare you, I implore the Holy Majesty." Send another virtuous person to assist Master Li in thoroughly investigating this matter."

Li Mingchao's face was ashen when he was told by the phrase "he is old", his lips trembling and he wanted to refute, but he took back the words in Emperor Cheng Ming's cold eyes.

The King of Xining had no scruples, he jumped and snorted contemptuously. "You are a civil servant of the Ministry of Rites, why are you joining in the fun?" He pointed at Li Mingchao's nose and scolded, "You have served as Jing Zhaoyin for more than ten years, and you are useless at critical times. I think you are pussy! It's a shame! Disgrace to the court! Disgrace to the Holy Majesty!"

Li Mingchao was speechless after being scolded by King Xining, and his back felt chills.

"Your Majesty, forgive me," Wu Jianzhang stood up from the court officials, first saluted Emperor Chengming, and then said to the king of Xining, "My lord, please calm down. I dare to say that the assassins come and go without a trace. Even Lu The generals were all caught in an ambush, which shows that the master's envoy was meticulous in planning. He didn't leave any clues to follow, and the ten-day deadline is indeed too tight. Mr. Li is working hard and running around every day, and we can all see it. The next official boldly suggests, I implore the Holy One to send more people, and the Ministry of Punishments and Dali Temple will also investigate together."

Zhong Weiting, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, jumped out immediately upon hearing the words, and coughed: "My lord Wu's words are wrong. This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Holy Majesty has issued an order to assist the Ministry of Punishment. Naturally, the Jingzhao Mansion is in charge. Jingzhao Mansion The duties of the Criminal Department have always been clearly separated, how can the Criminal Department rashly overstep the authority? However, Master Li is dedicated to investigating the case, and we will do our best to assist. Please also ask your majesty to make a clear decision."

"What Master Zhong said is true, and Dali Temple will definitely help Master Li with all its strength." Cheng Zhongxing, Minister of Dali Temple, also echoed.

"I'm ashamed to be an official, I really can't bear the heavy responsibility..." Li Mingchao smiled wryly.

"Lord Li, don't blame yourself..."

Emperor Cheng Ming looked at the courtiers' controversy, the coldness in his eyes deepened, he slapped the dragon chair and stood up: "Shut up!"

The hall fell silent instantly, everyone shrank their necks, stared at Emperor Cheng Ming's face, you looked at me and I looked at you, and lowered their heads in unison: "I implore the Holy One to make a clear decision."

"Jingzhao Shaoyin?" Emperor Cheng Ming's voice was filled with repressed anger.

"The minister is here." Jingzhao Shaoyin Wei Lang stood up and saluted Emperor Chengming respectfully.

Emperor Cheng Ming glanced around the hall with gloomy eyes, and finally landed on Wei Lang for a moment, then snorted coldly, and walked away with a gloomy expression.

Not long after, Su Wen, the head of internal affairs, hurried in and read the oracle in the main hall: "The sage ordered Wei Lang, Shaoyin of Jingzhao, to deal with the assassination of General Zhenguo. Jingzhaoyin and Li Mingchao assisted him. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are waiting for dispatch. The case will be closed within five days..." (To be continued.
