When the Minister of Dali Temple heard this, his hair stood up immediately.
Five years ago, the entire family of the governor of Fengcheng was exterminated, and none of the thirty-six people, old and young, survived.
Dali Temple has been investigating this case for two years without any clues.
It's still a big unsolved case.
It turned out to be Prime Minister Lu.
The Minister of Dali Temple knew that his sophistry was hopeless, so he said: "Master Xiang, it was me who harmed Lu Ba. All the sins are mine. Don't implicate my family!"
Prime Minister Lu said: "Then tell me, who ordered you?"
In order to protect his family, the minister of Dali Temple had no choice but to surrender and reveal the person behind the scenes.
Prime Minister Lu said again: "Then let me ask you again. Over the years, after the three generations of emperors ordered Dali Temple to secretly investigate Lu Zheng, they never gave up. Regarding the Lu family, it is even more confidential. And what progress has been made? Dali Temple Minister
Report to the Emperor personally, no one else can interfere. You must have read the files about the Lu family after taking office. Tell me everything important!"
The Minister of Dali Temple really didn't know why Prime Minister Lu asked about this matter.
The Minister of Dali Temple then told some important things about the "Lu Family" case.
At the end of the day, the minister of Dali Temple said: "There have been new clues recently. It is reported that a merchant named Lu in a town in Shanxi is suspected. I have sent people to investigate..."
Dali Temple has been investigating for many years, but no valuable clues have been obtained. After hearing this, Prime Minister Lu felt relieved.
A subtle look also flashed across Xiang Lu's eyes.
The Minister of Dali Temple is not comparable to ordinary people. He has handled dozens of cases, large and small, and Prime Minister Lu's fleeting and subtle look could not escape him.
Combined with the fact that Prime Minister Lu was highly skilled in martial arts and was concerned about the "Lu family" incident, the Dali Temple minister seemed to have realized something.
He was shocked and said: "You...you belong to Lu Zheng..."
The following words of the Minister of Dali Temple can no longer be said.
Because Prime Minister Lu's hand grabbed his throat again.
Prime Minister Lu lowered his voice and said in his ear: "You are right. I am Queen Lu Zheng! I dare not forget the centuries-old feud between my Lu family and the royal family... This hatred will be repaid. In the future, the world will also be mine.
From the Lu family, you can go underground now and report to the former emperors!"
After saying that, Prime Minister Lu crushed the throat of the Dali Temple Minister.
Then Prime Minister Lu let go, and the body of the Dali Temple Minister fell to the ground.
Prime Minister Lu squatted next to the body of Dali Temple Minister again, put his hand on Dali Temple Minister's face, and then exerted force.
When Prime Minister Lu removed his hand from Dali Temple Minister's face, Dali Temple Minister's face was completely unrecognizable, and his entire facial features were distorted and deformed. His nose and eyebrow bones were also collapsed, making it difficult to tell who he was.
Then Prime Minister Lu shouted outside, and two cronies came in.
Prime Minister Lu said: "Burn the body."
The two cronies dragged the body of Dali Temple Minister to dispose of it.
Prime Minister Lu left the basement and walked into the courtyard. He breathed a sigh of relief.
The hatred and resentment in my heart seemed to be alleviated a lot.
Lu Xiang glanced at the sky and muttered to himself.
"Revenge has been avenged. Rest in peace."
…
At midnight the night when Prime Minister Lu killed the Minister of Dali Temple, a figure sneaked under the north wall of Lu Mansion.
Behind the wall is the stables of the Lu family.
Therefore, the defensive strength in this area is weak.
This person is none other than Zuo Chaoyang.
Zuo Chaoyang was dressed in black and had a mask on his face.
Zuo Chaoyang listened carefully to the movement in the wall and waved his hand.
Then an image flashed out from behind a tree two feet away from him.
The image was like a ghost, with both feet not touching the ground, moving toward the left and toward the sun as if being blown by the wind.
Zuo Chaoyang whispered: "Follow me. You can't kill anyone without my order, so as not to be exposed."
The image let out a low growl that was almost like a beast.
That's a response.
Then Zuo Chaoyang rose up lightly and passed over the high wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The image also flew up and entered the wall.
There were people patrolling around the stables, and Zuo Chaoyang quietly killed those people individually. The image always followed Zuo Chaoyang, just like Zuo Chaoyang's shadow.
Zuo Chaoyang had memorized the topography of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the layout of the houses. He walked through the stables and went up to the roof.
He turned around, and behind him was the mysterious image.
The other party is really silent, like a ghost.
Zuo Chaoyang said: "There are two secret sentries on a roof in the garden in front, taking turns to monitor this area. There are also servants in the kitchen next to me. I will deal with the ones in the kitchen, and you go and kill the ones on the roof of the garden..."
Before Zuo Chaoyang finished speaking, the image disappeared.
Zuo Chaoyang solved the hidden whistle in the kitchen and then went to a roof in the garden.
The two secret sentries on the roof had become dead, and they still maintained their original lying posture.
In this way, Zuo Chaoyang carefully sneaked into the inner area of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Jing Mo, who was like his own shadow.
Along the way, the two men quietly killed more than ten people.
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, and soldiers were constantly patrolling at night, with dogs on leashes. However, due to their high martial arts skills and the fact that they were smeared with powder to deal with hounds, they were not exposed.
Zuo Chaoyang dived onto the roof of a courtyard again.
Because of the clues he had, Prime Minister Lu rested in this seemingly inconspicuous courtyard tonight.
At this moment, the moonlight is dim.
The moonlight and the sparse shadows of the flowers and plants in the courtyard are messily projected on the courtyard and walls.
There were several guards in the courtyard, and three of them were standing still.
The other two were walking back and forth gently.
He also glanced upward from time to time.
The vigilance is very high.
There was a light on in a room in the main house.
A figure is reflected in the window.
From time to time, I would raise a glass to drink something.
At this time, Zuo Chaoyang heard one guard whisper to the other: "It's so late, the prime minister is drinking alone and not sleeping. It's so elegant."
Another said: "Master Xiang is happy today..."
Zuo Chaoyang understood that the figure in the room was none other than Prime Minister Lu.
Zuo Chaoyang originally wanted to assassinate Prime Minister Lu while he was sleeping, so that he would be sure of it, but he did not expect that Prime Minister Lu was still asleep.
Zuo Chaoyang and the image behind him crouched on the roof for another meal, hoping to wait for Prime Minister Lu to turn off the lights and rest, but Prime Minister Lu was still not asleep.
I really don’t know when Mr. Lu will fall asleep tonight.
Zuo Chaoyang knew he couldn't wait any longer.
If we wait any longer and find the murdered sentry, we will be in trouble.
Zuo Chaoyang turned his head and used the sound transmission technique to "image" the people behind him and said: "There are five people in the courtyard, I'll deal with the ones at the door and by the rockery. I'll leave the rest to you."
The image disappeared in an instant...
The person drinking alone in the house was Prime Minister Lu.
Today, he avenged Lu Ba by killing the Minister of Dali Temple. He also learned from the Minister of Dali Temple the inside story of tracking down the "Lu Family" over the years. Prime Minister Lu was in a very good mood.
Because he was not exposed at all.
In the past, when Prime Minister Lu was in a good mood, he would ask Lu Ba to drink with him.
In front of Lu Ba, Prime Minister Lu can say anything.
Sometimes the two of them chat and drink together all night long.
Now that Lu Ba is dead, there is no one left who can drink with him and talk to him about everything.
Because except for Brother Lu Ba, no one in the Prime Minister's Office knew that he was the queen of Lu Zheng.
Even his wife doesn't know.
Therefore, in all these years, he has never been exposed.
Prime Minister Lu drank another cup, then picked up the tea bowl and took two sips of the bitter tea.
He was already a bit drunk.
Lu Xiang filled himself another glass, then he raised the wine glass to his mouth. As soon as the wine glass reached his mouth, Lu Xiang suddenly stopped. He turned his head and stared at the door leading to the outhouse.
