Seeing that Lu Chaoyang acted like this, Bian Yuanbo's face was gloomy: "Master Lu, all of you here are senior officials from the Third Division. We are setting up a banquet for you to cleanse yourself from the dust. Are you just not giving me face?"
"I, Lu Chaoyang, am not a big shot, I am just a warrior."
Lu Chaoyang overturned the exquisite wooden box on the table, the bright gold bars scattered everywhere, and the whole place fell silent.
He said coldly: "I was ordered to investigate the case, and you came up and gave me such a big gift to bribe me. It's such a big deal. It's a pity that Mr. Lu doesn't have gold in his life. I'll give you this big gift back!" p>
It’s no wonder that Jin Yiwei, who has always been unpopular, was greeted by everyone when he arrived in Shandong. Shandong Sansi has already become a rat’s nest, and even Jin Yiwei wants to get on board.
Using money to bribe Lu Chaoyang is the most stupid behavior.
"Lord Lu!"
Bian Yuanbo suddenly said loudly, "You are just a fourth-grade envoy, and your annual salary is only one hundred and twenty-five taels of silver. If you take any gold bar here, it will be your salary for ten years."
, can’t you sit down and have a drink together, listen to music, and let’s have a good chat?”
"What are you talking about?" Lu Chaoyang said lightly, "How to steal people's wealth and support, and how to lie on the back of the imperial court to suck blood!"
No matter how good-tempered Bian Yuanbo is, he can't hold himself tight at this moment: "Lu Chaoyang!"
"Master Bian, instead of thinking about how to bribe me, you should think about how to use this box of gold bars to find someone to assassinate me!" After saying that, Lu Chaoyang turned and left.
Two Qianhu officials from Beizhen Fusi also stood up and followed him out of the banquet.
Bian Yuanbo looked embarrassed.
……
Zhang Yingzhen sat under the green eaves, gently playing the pipa, and the melodious and sweet sounds of nature came out.
Although she was born in a general family, she has been fond of playing the harp, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and is a famous musical instrument master in the capital.
The hem of the white tulle skirt danced in the breeze, and her slender white jade fingers danced like an elf on the pipa. Zhang Yingzhen suddenly felt that her eyesight went dark, and someone covered her eyes.
"Oops!"
Unsheathing the sword, Zhang Yingzhen grasped the hilt of the sword without hesitation and swung it behind her. The blade was as sharp as the silver light of the waning moon!
"Where do these despicable lunatics dare to break into the palace...ah, my lord!"
Zhu Gaojie took two steps back to avoid the sharp edge of the sword, and his eyebrows jumped: "Madam, are you serious?"
This seemingly weak princess actually carries a sword with her, and her swordsmanship is fierce, not just a show-off.
He originally just wanted to tease her, but he never thought that Zhang Yingzhen would directly use weapons.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I... I have been learning swordsmanship from my father since I was a child. I have never left my sword with the sword ever since, but I didn't want to accidentally injure the Prince." Zhang Yingzhen's snow-white neck was as red as the sunset at the moment, and her face was flushed.
.
"My father-in-law has taught you all kinds of nonsense." Zhu Gaojie had a black line on his head.
The princess blushed with embarrassment and clenched her fists, not knowing what to do.
Although she and Zhu Gaojie are already married, and the British Duke's Palace and Prince Qi's Palace are also closely related. When others mention the British Duke's Palace, they will think of Prince Qi's Palace, but in fact... Zhu Gaojie and Zhang Yingzhen are not familiar with each other.
Marriage has little to do with men and women liking each other. What matters is the relationship of interests.
Zhang Yingzhen couldn't figure out what kind of person her husband-in-law was. When he treated outsiders, he seemed like a spring breeze. He seemed to be a sunny boy with no ambitions and a humble man. But in fact, if you get to know Zhu Gaojiao more, you will find that this man seems to have no bottom.
into the abyss, one can never guess his true thoughts.
"This sword...was given to me by my second uncle when I got married." Zhang Yingzhen hesitated and said.
"Second uncle?" Zhu Gaojie touched his chin.
Zhang Shi is Zhang Yingzhen's second uncle and Zhang Fu's second brother. Thanks to Zhu Gaojie's support, he was promoted to the third level and was directly promoted to the position of right governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion. Although this man has a deep mind, in this person
In his heart, "family" is greater than "country", but because of the "blood splattered on Fengtian Palace" incident, Zhu Gaojie saved the British government, so he had a very good relationship with Zhang Shi.
The gangsters of Prince Qi's Mansion are all in the army, and Zhang Fu, the right-hand governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, clearly stood in line with Prince Qi's Mansion in the court, which further highlighted Zhu Gaojie's position as the leader of the military.
Zhu Gaojie thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty gave some of the Yongquan tangerines that were brought as tribute from Linhai to some of our brothers. Although these Yongquan tangerines are not big in size, they are very sweet. You can take some and give them to my second uncle."
At home."
Zhang Xi was shining brightly in the court to give him a long face, Zhu Gaojie couldn't ignore it. Although the Yongquan tangerine was not a priceless treasure, it was not only an orange but also a gift of human kindness.
The kindness of a drop of water is repaid with a "welling spring"!
What's more, with Zhu Gaojie's identity, if he gave Zhang Shi some treasures, how dare Zhang Shi accept them. Although this Yongquan tangerine is not a treasure, it is just right for a gift.
Zhang Yingzhen was a little happy: "I am here to thank the prince for my second uncle."
"Family, why are you so polite?" Zhu Gaojie scratched his head and said, "By the way, the emperor told me earlier that he was going to patrol the north, and I was on the list of people accompanying him. This trip will probably take two or three months. I'll give him some advice in advance.
Just say it."
Zhang Yingzhen blinked and nodded: "The weather in Shuntian Mansion is very cold, so the prince should bring two more thick clothes with him when he leaves."
"Got it."
……
Shandong, Jinan
The blood-stained heads were neatly arranged on the bluestone board. Lu Chaoyang took a wolf hair and carefully wrote down the list in the small notebook in his hand.
"Qi Jiyuan was appointed as the Procuratorate of the Provincial Envoy, Wang Kuang was appointed as the Governor of the Provincial Envoy, Shi Xun was the Deputy Director of the Council, Dai Fushan was appointed as the commander of the Prefecture Guard, Li Pingjin was appointed as the magistrate of Fan County, and Wang Pingzhi was the general judge of Jinan Prefecture..." After calling the names of seventy or eighty people, Lu Chaoyang threw the list to the Beizhen Fusi Qianhu Official beside him, "Okay, let's count these first and go down and get the people."
Official Qianhu took the list, summoned the Tiqi from Fusi in Beizhen, and set out immediately to capture the people on the list!
Lu Chaoyang came to Shandong this time and killed hundreds of people in just a few days!
The mission of Beizhen Fusi is very simple: arrest people, interrogate, find evidence, and kill!
Arrest people first, and then look for evidence. If you really can’t find the evidence, then go to hard trial. After more trials, the evidence will be there. It’s so unreasonable, but it’s extremely efficient.
Because there is nothing we can do about it.
Shandong's official system was reduced to an iron barrel, headed by the Third Division, which was rotten to the core from top to bottom. There were people from the Han Palace and people from aristocratic families. The major forces divided up all the benefits and joined forces to squeeze out outsiders. If you argue with these people, it is pure nonsense and of no use at all.
Lu Chaoyang didn't intend to be polite. He directly used force. Such brutal and violent methods attracted everyone's backlash. From the time he arrived in Shandong, he had been assassinated no less than forty times, and he was assassinated every three or four hours on average.
An assassination.
However, he didn't take it seriously and became even more enthusiastic.
"I have received more and more assassinations recently, from five or six hours to one or two hours."
Lu Chaoyang closed the book of life and death in his hand, his eyes cold, "Is it because I have gradually revealed their true face?"
