Fang Lu raised his head and looked into Qin Yuandao's eyes, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. He now knew that Prime Minister Lu's Mansion was in a difficult situation. If the matter was revealed, Fang Lu would definitely die, but... the ants still had the intention of being patient, and Fang Lu didn't

Except, he also wants to live.

On one side was the matter of life and death, on the other was the master who had served him for more than ten years. Fang Lu fell into deep thought.

"You have to know that it is not certain whether Lu Gaohong will die or not, but he has done so many bad things. I think you know better than me. As his minion... Lu Gaohong is a relative of the emperor after all. He is the only brother and crown prince of Empress Mingxian.

His Highness's uncle, at most, would have his whole family exiled to a desolate land, but you are different, you are just a pawn under Lu Gaohong 7. If you want to live, just testify against him for us, and I will guarantee that you will not die."

Qin Yuandao looked at Fang Lu's hesitant look, and then uttered bewitching words word for word. Liang Ji and Yin Renzhao both saw that Qin Yuandao was extremely able to seize the weakness deep in the other party's heart, and thus bewitched.

First, Yin Renzhao hid his debt and conscience towards his daughter in his heart. Now, when Qin Yuandao saw that Fang Lu learned that Lu Gaohong was about to fall, he looked submissive. He must have been extremely afraid of life and death.

"You have to think clearly. There is only one chance. Even if you don't help us testify against him, the emperor is wise and will find out sooner or later. You will be dead when the time comes." Qin Yuandao stood up straight, looking nonchalant.

Xian continued, "I know that Butler Fang is very loyal to Lu Gaohong. He just thinks that death is inevitable for everyone, and it may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai."

Qin Yuandao looked at Fang Lu and said slowly: "You want to have a good reputation as a loyal protector until your death, right... But do you think, in light of this kind of thing, who would care?"

Then he looked at the palace and said: "Only if you come forward to testify against Lu Gaohong and eliminate the poison for the court, you can not only save your life, but also... your reputation will last forever."

Fang Lu knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Qin Yuandao, looking in the direction he was looking at. Looking at the imperial city in the night, the white snow on the ground looked solemn and serious.

After a long time, Fang Lu seemed to have made up his mind and said to Qin Yuandao: "I can go into the palace with you to testify against Prime Minister Lu, but... I have a condition."

Liang Ji wanted to step forward and give him a kick. After Zhao Zhao calmed down, he just held Liang Ji to prevent him from being impulsive and causing trouble.

Behind them, Yin Renzhao, Cheng Liang and Deng Xin stood together, staring at all this with their mouths agape. Fortunately, they did not provoke Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji, otherwise they would not know how they died.

Seeing that Liang Ji was about to hit him, Fang Lu shrank his head in fear, but still looked at Qin Yuandao unwillingly and asked: "I only have one condition. If you agree, I will say anything.

You can ask me to go to Prime Minister Lu's Mansion to find out the evidence of those accounts. I only need one condition."

Qin Yuandao was not in a hurry to agree to Fang Lu so quickly. He was not familiar with Fang Lu, but judging from this brief contact, Fang Lu did not have a very firm heart. Most of his conditions were that he wanted money, a house, and a stable life.

old age.

"Whatever your conditions are, we don't have much time now. Uncle, just tie him up in the palace together!" Liang Ji thought about this man who helped Lu Gaohong do a lot of bad things, and now he is plotting against his sister and princess.

Your Highness, you were furious for a moment.

"Even if you enter the palace, if you don't promise me, I won't say anything!" Fang Lu saw Liang Ji like this, and it was rare for him to have the backbone.

"I don't care whether you say it or not. I'll take you into the palace first and torture you so that you can tell me where your ancestral grave is!" Liang Ji looked so fierce that others would retreat when he saw it.

point.

Fortunately, this is the entrance to the palace, and there are not many people staying here. The imperial guards did not look around this corner. It has to be said that Fang Lu found an excellent position.

"Master Qin..." Fang Lu did not dare to look at Liang Ji, for fear that he would kill him accidentally. He turned to Qin Yuandao and begged, "Only one condition."

"Tell me about it." After careful consideration, Qin Yuandao felt that with Fang Lu's testimony, Lu Gaohong could be brought down accurately.

"If...if I can still survive after I come forward to testify, Mrs. Lu's mother's family will definitely send people to hunt me down...At that time...Master Qin...you said you would protect me." Fang Lu looked at Qin Yuanda and said slowly

Say it out loud.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yuandao almost laughed because of him. It turned out that this was the case. Fang Lu was not worried that the emperor would kill him, but he was afraid that Mrs. Lu's family would send people to hunt him down. What a joke.

"Okay, I promise you." Qin Yuandao, a second-grade imperial official, can't he protect a small and inconspicuous housekeeper?

When Fang Lu saw that Qin Yuandao agreed to him, he felt relieved. He slowly got up and hid behind Qin Yuandao, not daring to look directly into Liang Ji's eyes.

Liang Ji saw that he just made such a small and not excessive request, so he no longer made it difficult for him. If he really kicked him stupidly, all his previous efforts would really be wasted.

Now they have the body of the palace maid to testify against Lu Chen, Yin Renzhao's confession to explain how Lu Huiling coerced Mr. Zhi to help, and Fang Lu, it can be said that everything is ready, except for the east wind.

"How do we get into the palace now?" Liang Ji didn't want to pay attention to Fang Lu. He turned his attention to Qin Yuandao and pointed at the carriage behind him, "I don't know what the situation is like in the palace. We can easily be stopped if we go in like this."

Qin Yuandao looked in the direction of the palace gate. The palace gate was tightly closed at this time. He thought that there would be many imperial guards guarding the palace gate, and they would probably report it as soon as they passed by.

"General, sir, we didn't do anything wrong. If they stopped us, just ask them to report it. After all, it has to be made public. We hide it like this, as if we did something wrong.

But it's clear that they are at fault." Deng Xin hid aside and couldn't help but say.

This journey was obviously to investigate a case, but they were hiding here and there, and were being chased all over the capital, as if they had done something wrong, which was really aggrieved.

"Yes, sir, general...it's because of these people that they cover up the light, but we shouldn't be like this." Cheng Liang stood aside and echoed.

After hearing this, Liang Ji and Qin Yuandao looked at each other and felt that what they said was right.

They are obviously doing something beneficial to the Celestial Empire, but they are forced to hide in the dark. Now they have to consider how to quietly send evidence to the palace. This is really unfair.

For so long, the officialdom of the Celestial Dynasty has always been like this. Under Lu Gaohong's control, many people only flatter themselves and do not tell the truth. As a result, those of them who really do practical things and want to clean up the remnants of the officialdom for the Celestial Dynasty are forced to live in darkness.

On the run.

They raised their heads one after another. Even though night had fallen, they could still see the dark clouds hanging above their heads. If these dark clouds were not cleared, they would live under this darkness forever.

"That's right. We must show it to them in a big way and let them know that in China, there are not only people like them who bend the law for personal gain and are corrupt!"
