Lu Jin shook his head. "The case was mainly tried by the Dali Temple. We, the Jinyiwei, have no right to intervene. As far as I know, Zhou Fang kept his mouth shut and insisted that it was the young Marquis Gu who opened the boxes containing the official silver and found out that the official silver was missing. In this way, the official silver is related to the Ministry of Revenue's appropriation. But when the Ministry of Revenue counted the silver, the Ministry of Works was present. The other officials from the Ministry of Works who went to the north to clear the silt also knew nothing. There has been no substantial progress in this case. Now that Zhou Fang is dead, I'm afraid this case will be left unresolved."
Yu Qizhe strongly disagreed with his idea, "No, on the contrary, Zhou Fang's death is just the beginning of this case, and the corrupt officials will soon surface."
"What do you mean?" Lu Jin asked puzzled.
Yu Qizhe glanced outside the carriage and saw that they would reach the Gongwei Division after passing another alley. He ordered the driver to stop the carriage and said to Lu Jin, "Let me ask you, if Zhou Fang was silenced and framed on you, how would you respond?"
Lu Jin frowned, "No way, although I hold the key to the cell where Zhou Fang is imprisoned, I was not in the Guard Division when Zhou Fang died. Besides, why would I kill Zhou Fang?"
Seeing Yu Qizhe's serious expression, Lu Jin's face also became solemn, "Could it be that someone really wants to frame this crime on my head?"
Yu Qizhe patted his hands and said, "These are just my guesses. It would be best if you return to the Guardian Division without any trouble. If someone wants to divert the trouble to someone else, do you know how to get out of it?"
Lu Jin felt a little uneasy and frowned, "Even if someone wants to frame me for something I haven't done, it can't be true!"
Yu Qizhe sighed lightly, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't know how Lu Jin, with such a personality, could have stayed safe and sound in the capital all these years.
"When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false. If someone really wants to frame you, the false can also be made to appear true." Yu Qizhe asked, "Do you have anyone in Jinyiwei you can trust?"
"Yes." Lu Jin said, "Chen Ping of the Jinyiwei, I can be considered a close friend, this person is trustworthy."
Yu Qizhe nodded, "Listen to me, when you return to the Guardian Division, go find Chen Ping first. If anything happens to you, ask him to send me a letter immediately."
He looked at Lu Jin and said, "Also, don't say anything. Be careful with your words and actions, and don't give others an advantage."
Lu Jin rubbed his right eyelid which suddenly started twitching non-stop. "I hope it's just a false alarm. The Royal Guards work for the Emperor and never get involved in the messy affairs of the court. If someone really dares to have any intentions towards the Royal Guards, I'm afraid that person's identity is extraordinary."
At this moment, someone outside asked, "Is it General Lu Qian sitting in the carriage? Commander Gao asked you to return to the Guard Division as soon as possible."
Lu Jin looked at Yu Qizhe warily. Someone was following him!
Yu Qizhe opened his lips and silently comforted him, "I'm here for everything."
Lu Jin clenched his fists and was about to get out of the car, but Yu Qizhe stopped him and asked softly, "Where are your house keys?"
Lu Jin took out a bunch of keys from his arms and handed them to Yu Qizhe, then leaned over to lift the car curtain and used his body to block Yu Qizhe's figure inside the car.
He got off the carriage and said, "It's me. Commander Gao, why are you looking for me so urgently?"
The person who spoke from outside was also from the Guards Department. When he saw Lu Jin getting off the car, he stepped forward and said, "Didn't Commander Gao send someone to look for you earlier? Zhou Fang died in the dark cell of our Guards Department, and Commander Gao was anxious to find you back to do your job."
Lu Jin responded expressionlessly, "Let's go."
The man next to him took a look into the carriage, but the curtain had already been lowered and he could not see anything. When he saw Lu Jin turning around to look at him, he hurriedly followed.
Yu Qizhe held the key in his hand, and after Lu Jin walked away, he told the driver, "Go to Taoxi Lane."
Lu Jin's house was in Taoxi Lane. When they arrived at the door of the house, Yu Qizhe did not get out of the car immediately. He sat quietly in the car for a while and then instructed the driver to leave.
Not long after, Yu Qizhe changed his clothes, separated from the coachman, asked the coachman to knock on the front yard door, and he quietly climbed over the wall from the backyard and entered Lu Jin's house.
Yu Qizhe took the key to open the bedroom and searched it carefully, but found nothing.
Yu Qizhe couldn't help but frown. He went to the study again, paying attention to the movements outside while searching the study carefully. He finally found what he was looking for among a stack of military books.
He copied the contents on the paper with his right hand. After the ink dried, Yu Qizhe put the copied letter back into the military book. He took the original letter, climbed over the wall and left the house.
After leaving Taoxi Lane, Yu Qizhe hesitated for a moment with the letter in his hand, then went to the Annan Marquis Mansion.
After finding this letter, Yu Qizhe was very sure that this was a trap, and Lu Jin had fallen into it, without waiting for Shen Ping to report it. He had to find a way to save Lu Jin.
At this moment in the Guard Division, just as Yu Qizhe had expected, Lu Jin was captured as soon as he entered the Guard Division. The person who ordered him to be captured was none other than Gao Jian, the commander of the Pacification Division who had promoted Lu Jin to the rank of Qianzong.
Wang An, who was guarding the secret cell last night, confessed that it was Lu Jin who ordered him to kill Zhou Fang, and that Lu Jin secretly asked him to take the key to Zhang's blacksmith shop to make a copy of the key to the secret cell.
