After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

"If Master Ji feels that the evidence is still not enough, then I will invite another person."

Rong Yi loosened his fingers, wiped them a few times in disgust, then turned around and said, "Lord Lu, it's time for you to show up."

People followed her gaze and looked back.

A handsome man walked out, followed by the leader of the Dragon Scale Guard, who Yuan Qing had dealt with before.

Several Dragon Scale Guards walked past Yuan Qing without looking away, clearing the way for Lord Lu who was about to appear.

The situation was the same as in North City, but this time the special envoy was Lord Lu from Beijing.

Ji Kang stared at Lu Zhao closely.

Lu Zhao waved his folding fan and said, "Why, Master Ji, are you attracted by my looks?"

Yuan Qing: "..."

This person makes jokes regardless of the occasion.

Ji Kang almost vomited blood in his heart. No matter how handsome he is, he is still a man!

He suppressed the depression in his heart, gritted his teeth and laughed: "Lord Lu is really good at joking."

Lu Zhao laughed and closed his folding fan again, "Master Ji is right, I just like to joke."

Then he changed the subject and said, "Now, can you allow me to go into the mansion and take a look?"

This is to use power to force your way into the palace.

Ji Kang didn't dare to stop them. If he didn't let them in, rumors about his guilty conscience would definitely spread.

Although there is no evidence at home, the initiative is in their hands. Can't they say whatever they want?

Ji Kang had no choice but to order his servants to make way.

Lu Zhao directly ordered the Dragon Scale Guards hiding in the dark to break into Ji's mansion.

That’s right, it was done by breaking through.

At his command, many Dragon Scale Guards came out from all directions of Ji Mansion, on the walls, behind the houses, on the streets...

Some were even hidden in the trees in Ji's mansion.

The officers and soldiers brought by Shang Ming were useless and could only stand guard outside.

Ji Kang was really so angry that he vomited blood.

He took the handkerchief handed over by the housekeeper, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said gloomily: "You can't privately mobilize troops to break into an official's house without reason. Sir Lu, are you breaking the law knowingly?"

Lu Zhao turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Ji Kang pointed at several of the Dragon Scale Guards still hanging on the tree.

Lu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Master Ji, you can see clearly that their location is not within the scope of Ji's mansion, so it is not illegal."

Ji Kang looked from afar and saw the Dragon Scale Guard hanging upside down on the tree blinking and looking at him innocently.

The tree was planted almost against the wall, with a small part of its branches sticking out of the wall.

The hanging Dragon Scale Guard broke off a branch and measured the distance between the corner of his clothes and the top of the wall of Ji's mansion, which was exactly one inch.

He pinched the branch after comparison and waved it towards Ji Kang, indicating that he did not enter Ji's mansion, so it was not illegal.

"puff!"

Ji Kang spat out another mouthful of blood.

I guess what he hates the most right now, besides Lu Zhao and his group, is that tree.

If he had the power now, he could probably uproot the tree in front of everyone.

He didn't even care about his manners, and cursed in a low voice at the person who broke into the mansion forcefully: "Shameless...extremely shameless!"

Yuan Qing felt relieved after seeing this.

That's right, if you want to deal with a scoundrel, you have to be more scoundrel than him.

Shang Ming's mild approach is simply not enough to deal with someone like Ji Kang.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Zhao walked out slowly, holding high in his hands a few letters and a few ingots of gold.

He spread out the things in front of the people and said, "Everyone, please look carefully. These were all found in Lord Ji's secret room. If you don't believe me, you can come forward and check it out."

Originally, there were a few people who really wanted to go over to take a closer look, but after Lu Zhao said that, no one moved.

"Lord Ji, do you want to go by yourself, or do you want me to send someone to take you away?" Lu Zhao asked.

The secret guards of Ji's mansion wanted to take action, but Ji Kang secretly shook his head, signaling them not to act rashly.

"I'll go by myself." Ji Kang didn't struggle and was taken away by the Dragon Scale Guards.

Shang Ming was in charge of the interrogation. Lu Zhao, who had been busy for a few days, suddenly had some free time, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He nudged the dazed Yuan Qing with his elbow and said, "Hey, do you want to come sit over there with me?"

Yuan Qing came back to his senses, "Where are you?"

It was not that she asked this on purpose, but Lu Zhao had been staying in the brothel under the guise of Yan Ji. Now that he had revealed his identity, there would naturally be an inn to accommodate him.

She really didn't know whether Lu Zhao was referring to the Zangxiang Tower or the Posthouse.

"You can go wherever you want."

Although he said so, Lu Zhao's footsteps were clearly heading towards the post station.

"But I still have to wait for someone." Yuan Qing did not move a step.

When he found that she didn't catch up, Lu Zhao simply went back and dragged Yuan Qing away by the collar, "Are you talking about your little guard?

Don't worry, he will find you no matter where you are.

Let's go first. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you guys to a meal!"

"Men and women should not touch each other, can't you pay attention to the distance?"

Lu Zhao acted as if he didn't hear it and continued walking forward.

Yuan Qing was carried to a restaurant.

"Can you let me down now?" Yuan Qing gritted his teeth.

If her martial arts skills were not inferior to his, why would she feel so aggrieved?

Seeing the strange looks from passers-by, Yuan Qing really wanted to slap him. No matter how handsome he was, it couldn't change the fact that Lu Zhao deserved a beating.

"Ok?"

Only then did Lu Zhao realize that he had been carrying her here. He quickly let go of her hand and ran into the restaurant.

Runs pretty fast.

Yuan Qing followed him in with a gloomy face.

"Don't be angry, then... I apologize to you?" Lu Zhao panted and fanned himself.

Yuan Qing took a sip of tea and said calmly, "The sun has set, aren't you feeling cold?"

Lu Zhao paused while waving the folding fan, rolled his eyes, "This is a man's business, you are a girl, don't ask."

Yuan Qing: "..."

Is this really the third place winner who passed the imperial examination at the same time as Lu Huaizhou?

The appearance does match, but why is the personality nothing like what Wen Chengyu described?

"Your last name is also Lu. Have you and Lu Huaizhou known each other for many years?"

Lu Zhao folded his folding fan with a snap.

"Are you brothers?" Yuan Qing continued to ask.

Lu Zhao unfolded his folding fan again, "Oh, yes, it's my brother."

He was so scared that he thought she had guessed something.

Afraid that Yuan Qing would ask an even more difficult question, he took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Do you know the meaning of the sentence Huo Zhengyang wrote on the paper?"

Yuan Qing shook his head. "I don't know, but I guessed it based on the known information. It's a risky move."

Lu Zhao leaned back, acting like a playboy, and said, "Tell me about it."
