In fact, the people in Beijing's guess were quite accurate. Lu Shangshu was indeed angry about Lu Hanjiang's marriage, but the reason for his anger was different from what everyone thought.
"If I had known that you would marry the princess on his behalf, it would be better for me to arrange the marriage for him myself."
Lu Shangshu sat down again and said quietly: "Even if the Lu family loses face, things will not be worse than what they are now."
Mr. Meng said teasingly: "Why, are you willing to send your precious daughter to him to be his concubine?"
Lu Shangshu snorted coldly: "Why don't you give up? As long as he is willing, it doesn't matter if he comes to your door. If you don't have two granddaughters at home, why don't you say anything?"
Mr. Meng laughed and said: "If that boy likes it, let alone being a concubine, he can be sent to his door as a maid. Why don't you go and ask him?"
"snort......"
After venting, Lu Shangshu's depression dissipated a lot. He calmed down and asked: "I heard that you called him back? Why, with the situation in Beijing now so turbulent, it is better to let him stay in the world.
With."
"You think I'm happy with it. That kid is more capable than you think. If you don't let him stop his strength, I'm afraid that the lid that was finally pressed down will pop up again."
Mr. Meng held the teacup and sighed rather feebly: "That kid took some unknown route, but he actually found out about the Rising Sun Escort Agency and the Dongdu Lu Family."
"The Lu family of the Eastern Capital?" Lu Shangshu's expression changed and he said attentively: "He actually found out about the Dongfang family..."
Although Lu Hanjiang has not returned to Beijing yet, the letter has arrived in the capital one step ahead. After Meng Yuan found out about this, he could only urge him to come back soon.
"Back then, you wiped almost everything related to the Dongfang Family from the world. The relevant files had been sealed long ago. How did he find out?" Lu Shangshu asked doubtfully.
"It doesn't matter how you found it."
Mr. Meng shook his head: "If he is allowed to continue the investigation, the few remaining disciples of the Dongfang family will definitely be unable to hide it, and by then they will not be able to escape the word 'death'."
"It is not a pity to die for a traitor who commits rebellion." Lu Shangshu said indifferently.
"I also know that it is not a pity for them to die, but at least they can't die now," Mr. Meng pinched his eyebrows: "I didn't let those people live to survive, not to let them die at this time."
Lu Shangshu pondered for a long time and said: "Is there anyone behind the Dongfang Family? I have been unable to find out for so many years. I also tried to find out, Mr. Luo, but unfortunately I found nothing."
"That old guy Luo Yuanjing still won't let go even though he's old."
Mr. Meng narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Well, let's keep an eye on him first. Sooner or later, he will ask for help."
Lu Shangshu also nodded: "The Crown Princess is too powerful and has already matured. She is as smart as a demon. If she does what Empress Lu did to Wu Zhou, I am afraid no one can stop her. Since I have chosen this path, I will join us sooner or later, otherwise
Doesn’t it mean that we should abandon his Confucian school’s reputation and ignore it?”
...
...
A few days later, Lu Hanjiang and his party finally returned to the capital. The most important thing was to visit Mr. Meng so that he could see that his niece was still alive and kicking.
Later, Lu Hanjiang also raised the matter of the Dongfang Family in private, but Meng Yuan was vague and only told him that the Dongfang Family was indeed involved in the murder of the late prince.
But the strange thing is that there is no grudge between the two parties at all. One side is the prince of the dynasty, and the other side is from a wealthy family. They don't interact with each other on weekdays. I'm afraid they have never even heard each other's names, so they haven't been able to find out about them so far.
The purpose of doing something contrary.
Finally, Mr. Meng also reminded Lu Hanjiang not to take action against the Dongfang Family for the time being. After all, he still wanted to fish for a big fish in the long run and find out who was behind them.
This made Lu Hanjiang feel disappointed for a while after he finally got something out of Lu Kai's mouth.
After all, Lu Kai failed to resist the interrogation and used all his moves. The light kung fu he practiced was the Fuyao Jiutian of the Dongfang family. However, he himself did not know what was special about his origin and martial arts. It seemed that these people concealed their identities thoroughly.
He even hid it from his own family.
Lu Hanjiang estimated that the crazy old servant should know something, but unfortunately he was already dead. He had no choice but to temporarily escort Lu Kai to prison.
Just after returning to Beijing, it was necessary to hand over some things, but Lu Hanjiang was lazy, and after handling the matter for a while, he became a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving everything to Jiang Xian Bianguang, and sat in the Yamen for a while before going back.
The house is over.
But what I didn't expect was that I would meet an unexpected guest at home.
As soon as Lu Hanjiang got off the bus at the door, he met the seventh prince walking out of his home. This was really a rare guest.
"I've met His Highness Seventh Prince."
Lu Hanjiang's etiquette was in place, but when the seventh prince saw him, he was like seeing a soul-sucking messenger. He didn't know where to put his hands. After a few trembling greetings, he quickly got into the carriage and galloped away.
go.
It seemed that after the incident at Yao Yue Tower, the young prince finally understood the importance of Jin Yiwei in the court, which made Lu Hanjiang sigh with emotion.
When he returned to the mansion, he went to find Princess Yongle and wanted to ask the seventh prince about his purpose.
"Brother, it seems that he came to you to plead for mercy, but he didn't dare to see you, so he came to me first."
Yongle briefly mentioned the matter of the Seventh Prince to Lu Hanjiang: "Brother Huang said that he had a confidante who accidentally got involved in something, and was caught by the Jin Yiwei and sent to prison. He said that now the affair is clear.
I want to get people out."
"..."
Lu Hanjiang frowned and tried to think back for a long time before he suddenly realized that it was the man in red from Yao Yue Lou.
These days, he is busy with affairs in the world, and he almost forgets that he has also released many people in the imperial prison, such as Xue Luosha, Bu Shi Hongyi and so on.
Lu Hanjiang thought for a while, then looked at Yongle and asked, "The princess has a good relationship with His Highness Seventh Prince?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yongle did not shy away and said directly: "Brother Seventh Emperor is only a few years older than me. When I was a child, I grew up with him in the palace, so our relationship is naturally closer than others.
.”
Lu Hanjiang nodded clearly, and then slowly smiled: "Since the princess has a request, I will naturally comply. What those few people committed is not a big deal, so there is no harm in letting them go."
Yongle glanced at Lu Hanjiang suspiciously, and her instinct told her that there must be something going on here, but she didn't say it out loud. It was enough to help the Seventh Prince pass the message, and she had no intention of interfering with Jin Yiwei's work.
Lu Hanjiang was extremely efficient in his work. Not only did he release Hongyi the next day, he also released her sisters who had been exiled from the Jiaofang Division. Not only that, he even released Xue Luosha as well. He was so generous.
It's unbelievable.
Outside the prison door, Hong Yi, who had seen the light of day again, watched several sisters hugging each other and cried with joy, feeling as if they were in another world.
Bian Guang was watching them from behind. After a while, Hong Yi walked forward and said softly: "Thank you for taking care of me, sir."
"The Sword Comes"
Bian Guang waved his hand carelessly: "There is no need to thank me. His Highness is begging for you. However, my Lord has spoken in advance. You cannot continue to stay in the capital. You must make plans in advance as to where you will go from now on."
"Little girl understands."
Hong Yi also knew that even if she left the imperial prison, she would not be able to stay in the capital any longer. The Yao Yue Tower was long gone, but fortunately, the sisters were finally reunited. As for the future...
Hongyi glanced vaguely at Gu Zijin, who was also released, and seemed to have made a decision.
After sending away the women of the Bu clan and Xue Luosha, Bian Guang came to the Lu Mansion and met Lu Hanjiang.
"Is everything done?"
Today, Lu Hanjiang was not building blocks. Instead, he took a big brush and smeared it on the map. Looking at the areas soaked in ink one after another, he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Sir, everyone has been let go." Bian Guang hesitated for a moment and asked, "I'm just worried because of my humble duty. I'm going to be far away in the north. Will that woman really obey the order and send a message to us?"
"Why not?"
Lu Hanjiang looked at the dark map that had been redacted, threw the brush aside with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Not everyone can endure the desolation of the North. After seeing the prosperity of the capital, who would want to go to that damn place?"
, Moreover, since she was willing to sell her family for freedom in the first place, there is no harm in selling her again for power. As long as there is such a thing as betrayal, there will be many times in the future. "
