Rong Zhen followed the eunuch who led the way to Yu's study. The eunuch wanted to make friends with this popular prince, but no matter what he said, the other party was cold. Then he looked at the foreign guard next to him, who was even colder than him, and immediately gave up the idea.

As soon as Rong Zhen stepped into Yu's study, a memorial flew towards him.

"Hello! You dare to come back after provoking such a big trouble! You dare to come to see me!" Yongning slammed the table hard and looked at Rong Zhen in anger.

Suddenly, the eunuchs and palace maids in the room knelt down and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Rong Zhen glanced at the opened memorial, which clearly stated "treason" and "the intention is punishable". He did not explain, but knelt down on one knee: "I am wrong, please punish me, my royal brother."

"I sent Liang Jue to Yangzhou, but you put him under house arrest. You are slapping me in the face!" Emperor Yongning seemed to be still unsatisfied, and swept all the memorials on the table to the ground, "Look, look for yourself, these memorials impeaching you are just short of directly saying that you are plotting to usurp the throne!" "I

dare not."

"What else do you dare not do?!" Emperor Yongning glared at him, "I asked you to go to Jiangnan to investigate the salt policy, who asked you to touch the officialdom in Jiangnan? If you are not careful, the entire Great Xia Dynasty will be overthrown. Do you understand the seriousness of this?"

"Your humble brother is reckless."

Emperor Yongning looked at him for a long time, and after he finished speaking, he just knelt there quietly, frowned, and then softened his tone: "Is your injury better?"

"Thank you for your concern, my brother."

"That's good. You, a son of a rich family, should not sit in the hall. Don't be so reckless next time." Emperor Yongning said, and got off the throne, helped Rong Zhen up, and covered up his previous anger so lightly.

Rong Zhen's attitude was the same as before. He accompanied Emperor Yongning for dinner, and chatted in the study for a while before leaving the palace.

The one who sent them off was still the little eunuch from before, but he was no longer as warm as before, probably because he saw the look of Emperor Yongning getting angry at him.

Rong Zhen didn't take it seriously, but after leaving Shenwu Gate, Nie Zhishu frowned and said, "Didn't the emperor ask you to do the Jiangnan thing? Why did he scold you like this?"

"It's just a show." Rong Zhen said lightly, but he didn't know how much of this show was real and how much was fake.

Nie Zhishu still didn't understand a little bit, he never understood the twists and turns of the Central Plains people. At this time, he saw the prison van blocking the way ahead, and couldn't help but said to Rong Zhen proudly, "This move will probably make the murderer behind the scenes so angry that he will vomit blood!"

Rong Zhen couldn't help but smile a little. On his way back, he was ambushed again, and that's why his arm injury has not healed yet. So when Nie Zhishu righteously wanted to help him avenge, he did not refuse, but let him go. Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

The two walked near the prison car and found that Song Zhiyi was talking to someone.

"Isn't this the new commander of the Red Armor Guard?" Nie Zhishu said.

"Jian Yu?" Rong Zhen raised his eyebrows, "In the end, he got the upper hand in the battle for the leadership of the Red Armor Guard?"

"Master, do you know him?" Nie Zhishu was delighted to see the prey, "I heard that he is very strong. I really want to compete with him!"

Rong Zhen happened to hear Jian Yu's answer to Song Zhiyi and could not help but praise him, "He is a rare sober person."

His target from the very beginning was not only the Fourth Prince. The eldest and the fourth prince were not innocent in this matter. No matter which side he started from, both sides would be dragged in in the end. Now that his goal has been achieved, he does not intend to really tear his faces with his two nephews, so he followed the advice and sent the prisoner to the Ministry of Justice.

After Rong Zhen left, Luo Xian frowned and looked at Jian Yu: "What does your highness the Prince of Chu mean?"

"It's just to lure the snake out of its hole. Don't worry about it." Jian Yu frowned slightly, "But the Fourth Prince..."

He didn't say anything else. The Prince of Chu's move seemed to be a slap in the face of the Fourth Prince, but in fact it gave the Fourth Prince a chance to counterattack. If the First Prince lost his vigilance because of this, he would probably be caught off guard.

Jian Yu buried these analyses in his heart and said to Luo Xian: "Go back and train the troops. When the three courts hold a trial after the new year, it will probably be a tough battle."

"The three courts hold a trial?" Luo Xian didn't understand. "Isn't this the business of the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Censorate? How is it related to our Red Armor Guards?"

"This case is a big case not only during the Yongning period, but also since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty. Jiangnan has been shocked by what the King of Chu did, but people in the capital are still uneasy. Who will be the chief judge and who will be the deputy judge, and the severity of the case will become bargaining chips for all parties to fight for."

"This..." Luo Xian worried, "I'm afraid that we are just Red Armor Guards, and we are not even as good as ants in the eyes of these big shots."

"Ants can also shake elephants." Jian Yu patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, this is a crisis as well as an opportunity. The three guards of the capital, the Red Armor Guards have been at the bottom for long enough."

As soon as he said this, Luo Xian was also aroused to fight. When the three guards of the capital were first established, they were all driven together, but the Black Armor Guards gradually disappeared behind the scenes, and the Gold Armor Guards were very stable because they were always in the hands of Duke Cheng's Mansion. Only the Red Armor Guards, which were originally the most valiant of the three guards, have been regressing in recent years. Many noble sons even disdain to join the Red Armor Guards, especially after he became the leader of the Red Armor Guards. The Red Armor Guards were once called the "Bastard Camp", and could be said to be the laughing stock of the entire Yanjing City. That's why Luo Xian and the others cared so much about being laughed at by the Gold Armor Guards.

Jian Yu always advocated less talk and more action. Luo Xian saw his ambition for the first time and was filled with lofty sentiments: "Don't worry, Commander. I will go back and train those guys. I will definitely give you a brand new Red Armor Guard before the three-division meeting."

"Okay, go ahead."

After fooling Luo Xian away, Jian Yu walked slowly in the inner city. When he found himself, he had already arrived at the gate of the Duke of Ying's Mansion. He couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought of Lu Zheng he met today. He hadn't seen him look so silly for a long time. He really missed him.

Since they met in the wine shop, Jian Yu has been busy with the Red Armor Guard. He thought he could numb his heart with being busy, but he didn't expect that seeing Lu Zheng again would make his thoughts uncontrollable.

But now is not the time. In order to truly protect Lu Zheng, he needs to be stronger...

Lu Zheng sneezed, and seeing people around him looking over, he quickly shook his hands: "It's okay, it's just that my nose is a little itchy."

They are now in the mourning hall. The other members of the Lu family have been driven out, leaving only the government officials.

Shihu, wearing a mask, opened Lu Zheng's mouth with two fingers, carefully looked at his tongue and teeth, and fiddled with his eyelids and earlobes, and then said: "The deceased died of poisoning. According to the signs, it was definitely a kiss."

The clerk on the side quickly wrote down his words.

Shihu turned over Lu Jian's body again: "There are scratches on his body. The deceased must have struggled violently before his death. However, the bleeding from the wounds is not serious, and the blood is black, which means that the poison takes effect quickly and kills instantly."

Tang Min couldn't help asking: "Then how did he get poisoned?"

Shihu pointed to Lu Jian's feet: "Here."

There is a small black dot on the sole of Lu Jian's foot. If you don't look closely, you won't find it at all. Shihu said: "The murderer should have applied arsenic on a needle-like object and then stabbed it into his foot."

"This... is impossible." Tang Min said, "If he was stabbed, he should have found it immediately. How could he die from the poison?"

"It's cold." Zhao Xueqian and Lu Zheng said in unison.

The two looked at each other, Lu Zheng snorted and turned away, Zhao Xueqian was not affected at all, and said lightly: "It's already May, if you walk outdoors in soft-soled shoes, your feet will soon feel cold. If you step on a needle coated with arsenic at this time, I'm afraid you will feel it slowly because of the cold, so you won't be able to find it immediately."

Tang Min took a breath of cold air: "This plan is really vicious, where is the poison needle?"

Zhao Xueqian looked at Lu Zheng: "I have to ask Third Young Master Lu, where did the deceased and Lord Lu go that day?"

Lu Zheng was a little depressed: "It should be the ancestral hall."

As soon as the group opened the mourning hall, they heard the thunderous crying. Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Lu, was held by two maids and cried heartbreakingly. Several young wives also knelt down and cried beside them. Only the eldest young wife Lin just stood aside and sneered at them.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh secretly. After reporting to the authorities, everyone was still very cooperative, even Mrs. Wu was honest. But when Shihu came and wanted to examine the body, everyone opposed it. Not only Mrs. Wu, but also several concubines who had cooperated before were fiercely opposed.

Their reasons were valid. The bigger the family, the more they cared about the appearance after death. Especially since Mr. Lu was the head of the Lu family, even the elders of the family did not agree.

They thought the case was deadlocked here, but Zhao Xueqian actually went directly to find the British Duke Lu Qing. In the end, under Lu Qing's strong pressure, both sides took a step back and let Shihu examine the body without damaging the body.

That's why the Lu family waited outside the mourning hall, and ran in as soon as they came out. Then there was crying in the mourning hall.

Tang Min frowned, but didn't say much, and let someone take her to the ancestral hall.

Lu Zheng deliberately lagged behind them by half a step, looked up at Zhao Xueqian's back, and didn't know why, he always felt that Zhao Xueqian was deliberately looking for Lu Qing. Although it seemed that he was not wrong to do so, Lu Zheng always felt that his intention was not simple, but he couldn't see it now.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.
