Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes.

He could see clearly that this carriage was King Luo's carriage.

"Luo Wang and Lu Bai came together?" Xiao Zhan murmured in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he felt natural. This Luo Wang grew up next to the queen, and his biological mother was a maid beside the queen mother, so Luo Wang is a member of the Gu family. piece.

It is reasonable that this chess piece is close to Lu Bai who was raised by Gu Qinghuan.

Just like because he is a running dog of Yiqiu Villa, he is close to King Kang who was born to Concubine Lu.

The interior is soft and soft.

Although it's not luxurious, it has enough connotation. Lu Bai wants to let Luo Wang learn the truth about pretending to be low-key.

After leaving the palace, the carriage went straight to the south, passed the ancestral temple and the tribute courtyard, and turned to the north bank of the Qinhuai River. After walking a certain distance, the carriage stopped in front of an elegant small courtyard.

There is a big willow tree next to the small courtyard. The willow tree hangs low in front of the door, and the willow branches that are about to sprout cover the door, making the small courtyard more elegant.

As soon as Lu Bai got off the carriage, the door opened, and the young King Luo greeted him personally, "Lord Lu, please sit inside."

King Luo led the way and introduced to Lu Bai.

This small courtyard is a river house, half in the water and half on the bank.

"At this time, this small tavern usually has limited guests. It only entertains ten tables a day, three tables in the morning, three tables in the afternoon, and three tables in the evening. The remaining table is hard to get, but it is the most delicious." Luo Wang proudly said to Lu Bai, "Let Xiao Wang make an appointment today."

He said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Lu is delicious. Today's table of delicious dishes can't be better with Mr. Lu."

While speaking, they had already arrived at the waterside pavilion. The table in the middle of the waterside pavilion had just been placed and the wine was still hot. There was a maid beside him playing the guqin lightly.

"Listen to Xiangxiang Pavilion." Luo Wang turned sideways, "Master Lu, please."

"Then I'll take advantage of King Luo and taste the delicious food here." Lu Bai sat down with a smile, reaffirming in his heart the impression he had of King Luo when he came here—it is true that King Luo has learned the truth about pretending to be low-key. .

This small courtyard looks ordinary on the outside, but it is very elegant on the inside.

Luo Wang personally poured wine for Lu Bai, and then listened to Xiangxie from here, talked about the Qinhuai River, and talked about the wind, flowers, snow and moon.

Lu Bai echoed, never taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, nor taking the initiative to start a conversation.

Luo Wang was not in a hurry, and chatted slowly.

Lu Bai couldn't help but admire King Luo, as expected he came from the royal family, he talked about everything, and it made people feel like a spring breeze, and Lu Bai almost started talking a few times, and chatted with him in full swing.

Fortunately, Lu Bai held back.

Until King Luo talked about Gu Qinghuan——

"Speaking of which, I have to be called Mrs. Lu's uncle." Luo Wang said with a smile, "My mother's queen is Miss Gu's niece, and my biological mother grew up next to the queen mother, and she also served Miss Gu back then. , the Gu family counts as half of my grandmother's family."

Lu Bai hurriedly waved his hands, "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it."

Luo Wang shook his head, "Hey, there is nothing to be afraid of, in this yard, there are only nephews and uncles."

With that said, Luo Wang stood up and bowed respectfully, "Xiao Wang has seen uncle."

Lu Bai hurriedly asked him to sit down.

Being the prince's uncle sounds dangerous.

"Uncle, I offer you a toast." Luo Wang made up his mind to recognize this uncle, and spoke respectfully.

.

Chapter 372

Lu Bai accepted his glass of wine.

Luo Wang poured another glass of wine, and then brought today's invitation into the main topic, "Uncle, I invite you today. I am still entrusted by someone, and I want to ask you to help me with something."

Seeing that he had finally revealed his original purpose, Lu Bai heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that finally there is no need to pretend to be a snake, this uncle gave him a headache, but he is still young.

"Tell me." Lu Bai drank the wine calmly, still knowing what was going on in his heart.

"Hey, it's not the Shi family." Luo Wang said with a sad face: "Master Shi is my teacher. I heard that a few days ago, some misunderstandings occurred between your two families—"

He looked at Lu Bai cautiously.

Lu Bai was surprised, and thought to kill Master Shi's most proud son, is this just a misunderstanding?

Seeing that Lu Bai didn't say anything, Luo Wang said with a smile: "I know Mr. Shi's character, and he has always been loyal to the court. Even if there is something out of line, it is an expedient measure."

He paused, and seeing that Lu Bai had nothing to say, he continued: "Mr. Shi also appreciates Uncle's personality, and he has no intention of becoming an enemy of Uncle. He also wants to join hands with you to help me regain my former glory."

Now Lu Bai was completely puzzled.

He put down his wine glass, "Did Master Shi say this, or His Highness himself?"

Luo Wang raised his hand and swore, "These words come from my teacher's mouth, there is absolutely no falsehood, I swear on the reputation of my nephew."

Now, Lu Bai had to look at Master Shi with admiration.

The hatred of killing his son was put down so lightly, presumably it was for the greater good.From the power of the dragon?Let Lu Bai take this opportunity to let go of his grievances and stand with him in King Luo's camp?

Or it was for other reasons, such as the right to become a Jiange in the secular world.

Lu Bai finally felt that it was both.

Seeing that Lu Bai was deep in thought, King Luo asked cautiously, "Uncle, what do you think?"

"Me?" Lu Bai drank a glass of wine and ate a bite of food, "I think it's pretty good."

Now that Master Shi can let go of his hatred of murdering his son, there is nothing Lu Bai can't let go of, "I also think it's better for Master Shi to let go of past suspicions." He also added.

"Uh--"

Luo Wang didn't know whether he should praise Lu Baizhi for a while.

After digesting for a long time, he put all the smiles on his face, "Then—uncle, the person you arrested, do you think—"

"The person I arrested, who did I arrest?" Lu Bai pretended to be confused with understanding.

From the moment he saw King Luo, Lu Bai knew what King Luo was up to, if he hadn't been wooing him sooner or later, why would he be wooing him now.

Besides, King Luo really didn't need to win him over.

It can be said that as long as he accepts Empress Gu as his mother—because he was born by a court lady, he grew up beside the empress, and the empress is his mother in name—Lu Bai will naturally stand on his side.

What's more, Luo Wang's biological mother came from Gu's family, and from Queen Mother Gu's side.

Furthermore, the other King Kang was born to Concubine Lu Gui. Lu Bai had a sworn feud with the Lu family, so he was naturally on his side. This was the reason why King Luo and King Kang didn't come forward to win over Lu Bai before.

The reason why King Luo is looking for him now is because of the stone he caught today.

Luo Wang was still young, thinking that Lu Bai really didn't know, he reminded Lu Bai, "It's just the man you arrested at the Yuelai Inn this morning, uncle."

Lu Bai was surprised, "I haven't tried this person yet, I didn't expect it to be Lord Shi's person."

King Luo complimented Lu Bai, "Using my uncle's method, I'm afraid that person can't last a few rounds before recruiting. Uncle, don't lie to me. That person is not a teacher, but a servant of the family—"

Then, Luo Wang said that Master Shi only had one nephew by his side now, he was a little spoiled on weekdays, recruited some dubious people at home, and then acted recklessly.

"Hey." King Luo sighed, "Uncle, the teacher has only one nephew by his side now. You don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, but for my sake, let this man go?"

To be honest, Lu Bai was really moved by King Luo just now, and a pitiful image of a lonely old man appeared in front of his eyes, especially when he thought that his other son was killed by him, Lu Bai was even more...

"Wait, Mr. Shi Qi, Mr. Shi Qi, that son is the seventh son, he should have six sons." Lu Bai said.

"Uh--"

King Luo didn't expect Lu Bai to discover this blind spot, "Then what, nothing else is by his side."

Well, it turns out that it is the law of orphans and widows, so don't blame Lu Bai for being rude.

"absurd!"

Lu Bai slapped the wine glass on the table.

He put on the airs of his uncle, "You are still the king of Luo. In the future, you may become a prince under one person and more than ten thousand people. Is this how you become a king? As the saying goes, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. The superior can only be fair." Only law enforcement can convince people, convince the public, and convince the world, if you blindly use power for personal gain, how can you be the lord of the world?!"

"I—" Luo Wang was speechless by Lu Bai's barrage of words.

Lu Bai's tone relaxed, "Uncle, it's also for your own good. If you have a heir, you will establish a heir, and if you have no heir, you will establish an elder. The reason why your father can't make up his mind now is that he is weighing whether you or King Kang are suitable for the crown prince. "

He looked at King Luo with sincerity on his face, "I used to think highly of you as king, but you—"

King Luo was in a hurry.

Although Lu Bai could only stand on his side naturally, Luo Wang was still very excited when he heard that Lu Bai was optimistic about him.

After all, although Lu Bai can't be called a noble family now, with his realm and the Immortal Sword Sect behind him, that is definitely a great help for him to ascend to the throne.

"Uncle, I am also entrusted by others."

"I know." Lu Bai interrupted him, "You are still young, and you are most likely to be deceived and instigated by others. I don't blame you. You just need to know that uncle always handles cases impartially and enforces the law. .I arrested this person this time, not to trouble Mr. Shi, but purely for official business."

He then sighed, "You don't know that this man actually sells officials. If all officials can be bought, what's the use of imperial examinations? If people buy officials with silver, they must be officials for money. Why? Do you hope that when you become a prince, or ascend to a high position, you will be surrounded by merchants who smell like money?"

"I don't want to." King Luo shook his head.

"Okay, then tell me, should uncle investigate this case?" Lu Bai kept drinking.

King Luo nodded, "It's time to investigate!"

"Okay, with your few words, uncle is still optimistic about you, come on, let's drink!" Lu Bai raised his glass.

When Luo Wang heard that Lu Bai was still optimistic about him, he happily raised his glass and drank it down.

Then, Lu Bai got up to say goodbye.

He was not too hungry, he ate a bowl of rotten meat noodles for lunch, and ate the imperial meal when he entered the palace, and now he ate a few mouthfuls of elegant side dishes, it can be said that he ate all the representative dishes in half a day.

Now I have to save some stomach to go back to eat home-cooked food.

King Luo sent Lu Bai away, and after Lu Bai's figure disappeared, he walked back, slapped his forehead, and felt that he was fooled by Lu Bai, because the cheap "uncle" didn't give him any promises, and he didn't want to do it yet. Things are done.

The only gain may be to exchange feelings with Lu Bai.

The river house is not far from the wine house, and Lu Bai walked back.

While reminiscing about this private dish, he wanted to have a good taste with Gu Qinghuan some other day, but at the same time he made up his mind that this case must be investigated to the end.

The one he is most afraid of offending now is the Shi family, since he has already killed one and formed a death feud, it is nothing to forge another grudge.

After making up his mind, Lu Bai quickened his pace and returned to the wine house.

As soon as he arrived in front of the wine house, he heard the sound of babbling and singing in the yard behind him.

Lu Bai knew these courtyards.

These yards were all booked by them, and they were specially used to house theatrical troupes.

It can be heard that the theater troupe that Gu Qinghuan bought and took down with the help of Mojiatang yesterday has been settled. Lu Bai is looking forward to the day when "The Peony Pavilion" will be released and shock the world.

**

With Stone's confession, everything went smoothly.

The next day.

The door of the Shi family was opened, and the Shi University scholar who had just entered middle age had already turned into frost on his temples, showing signs of the erosion of time.He stroked his black and white beard and knew that it was all thanks to Lu Bai.

Originally hale and hearty, Mr. Shi, who didn't look old at all, immediately put on a lot of weight after hearing the news of the death of his son Shi Qigong, and his body became haggard a lot.

If it wasn't for the pent-up breath in his heart, he might not have survived.

However, this gas is not revenge.

Revenge is not enough to become a block in Shi University's chest, the other tone in his heart is the dream of strengthening the Shi family.

Now is the most critical moment, as long as he pushes the Shi family to become Jianzhai's power in the secular world, then the Shi family will usher in a brand new future, let the four great families be rewritten as the five great Shi families, and let the Shi family's children stand in the court and the opposition. Blooming everywhere, let the Shi family practice——

"Hey." The flame in Shi Dashi's heart was extinguished by the water.

The most talented Shi Qi in the family was killed by Lu Bai.

This feud is irreconcilable, but don't worry, he will wait until the day when the Shi family rises, and the day when Lu Bai is lonely, and then settle this account.

Rigidity is easy to break, he believed that Lu Bai would have bad luck one day.

He is patiently waiting for this day.

however--

As soon as Bachelor Shi got into the carriage, he heard a commotion from under the carriage.
