After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

As dawn approached, the autumn rain that had been falling all night finally stopped.

The runners of the Ministry of Justice began to report for duty.

Luo San, dressed in a long gown, knocked on the door of the Ministry of Justice with an attitude of ready death.

The bailiff was busy, so he called out, "Who is it?"

"Luo San."

Luo San answered.

"What's falling off the mountain?" The yamen runner dropped the wooden sign he used to call in. He picked it up and rubbed it with his sleeve, asking impatiently, "To report the case, go to Jingzhao Yin! To sue the official, go to Dali Temple!"

Throughout the dynasties, the functions of the major government offices have been different. In this dynasty, cases involving royal family members and court ministers are mostly handled by the Dali Temple. The Ministry of Justice is in charge of criminal law and the review of important cases. Ordinary cases will not be brought to the Ministry of Justice.

Xun Yu and Wei Mingxuan were escorted to the Ministry of Justice by Princess Wanping's personal order, otherwise the Ministry of Justice might not have taken over.

Luo San sighed, looked at the closed door and said, "You masters are searching for me, I am here to turn myself in."

"A wanted criminal from the Ministry of Justice?" The bailiff was startled. He didn't even bother to check in and ran to open the door for Luo San.

But when he opened the door of the Ministry of Justice and looked outside, he saw only empty streets. Where was the shadow of any prisoners?

Luo San was thrown into a sack by someone and was shaken for dozens of steps, which made him almost vomit. Finally, he felt a pain in his buttocks and was thrown into a carriage.

Meng Qianqian wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Hoohoo~ I'm so tired~"

Luo San heard a familiar voice and couldn't help but frowned: "Mrs. Lu?"

Meng Qianqian pulled off the rope on the sack: "Oh, it's me, come out by yourself."

Luo San crawled out of the sack and immediately saw Meng Qianqian in nightgown and Lu Yuan sitting next to her.

Lu Yuan's face was a little pale, as if he was injured.

Of course, whether Lu Yuan was injured or not had nothing to do with him.

"Two things."

Luo San asked the two men, "First, why did you capture me? Second, why did you put me in a sack? Just tell me and I will go with you."

Meng Qianqian grabbed the rope and blinked: "Are you sure you won't resist?"

Luo San said bluntly: "What's the use of my resistance? I can't beat you."

Meng Qianqian's eyes moved to the left and back: "Oh, my head is so dizzy."

Luo San: “…”

Lu Yuan said to Luo San: "I must have something to do if I caught you here."

Luo San said unhappily: "I have already surrendered myself to the Ministry of Justice as agreed. What else can happen?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "The plan has changed. You don't have to turn yourself in for the time being."

Luo San sneered: "What a change of plan! Who do you think you are? Believe it or not, I will go back on my word and show you. You want me to surrender myself, but I won't agree!"

Lu Yuan said nonchalantly: "It's up to you."

Luo San frowned.

Lu Yuan said nothing more.

Luo San waited for a long time but received no follow-up. He lost his temper and asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Yuan knew when to stop and didn't keep him in suspense: "I want you to help me with a little more. After the matter is done, you can turn yourself in. If you are unwilling to turn yourself in, I will let you go as a report."

Luo San narrowed his eyes: "You asked me to surrender because you hoped I could testify against Xiangguo. I am your most important witness, but you agreed to let me go. This is too unusual, unless... you have a better plan to attack Xiangguo."

Meng Qianqian opened her eyes wide: "Wow, Luo San, you are very smart!"

Flattery never wears thin, Luo San straightened his back and said, "How could you be so smart as to disguise yourself for so many years under your husband's nose?"

Meng Qianqian invited: "Then join us, we need smart allies like you!"

"What if I refuse?"

Luo Sandao.

Lu Yuan said without hesitation: "Then the only option is to make you disappear."

Luo San sneered: "I said I'm not afraid of death."

Meng Qianqian folded her arms: "You are not afraid of death, don't you want to continue to be my grandpa's grandson for a few days?"

Luo San shook his head: "If you want to use this to bribe me..."

Lu Yuan interrupted him and looked deeply into his eyes: "Becoming the Miao King's grandson is a mission, and the lure is the benefit you will get after the mission is completed. Luo San, you just need to believe that I will definitely give you a reward that satisfies you."

-

At the break of dawn.

Chen Long returned to the prime minister's residence covered in blood.

Prime Minister Xun was discussing with several of his aides how to restore Xun Yu's reputation and the dignity of the Prime Minister's Office.

Xun Liu, Xun Qi and Shangguan Ling were also there.

The Prime Minister saw Chen Long outside the door and winked at his staff, who then tactfully withdrew.

Chen Long entered the study room. The smell of blood on him was so strong that it made people feel uncomfortable.

Xun Qi frowned.

The Prime Minister asked in a dignified manner, "What happened?"

Chen Long said: "Lu Yuan is dead."

Xun Qi, Xun Liu and Shangguan Ling were all shocked.

What surprised Xun Qi was that Chen Long really succeeded.

Xun Liu and Shangguan Ling were not aware of this before, and were shocked that Chen Long actually went to assassinate Lu Yuan.

"Where's the corpse?"

Prime Minister Xun asked.

Chen Long wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It was taken away by Si Snake."

Prime Minister Xun turned the jade ring on his left thumb. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment, and no one could tell a single thought from his eyes.

"You go down and heal your wounds first."

"Yes, foster father."

Chen Long dragged his bruised body out of the study.

Shangguan Ling said: "Prime Minister, I'll go take a look!"

The prime minister did not object.

Shangguan Ling caught up with Chen Long in the small garden and asked solemnly, "Did you really kill the Grand Commander?"

Chen Long said: "That's right."

Shangguan Ling couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? His martial arts skills are not inferior to yours... not to mention there is Si Snake..."

Chen Long glanced at him and said, "I don't need to prove my martial arts skills to you."

"That's not what I meant..." Shangguan Ling looked around and whispered, "Aren't you and Meng Xiaojiu on good terms? If you kill Lu Yuan, aren't you afraid that Meng Xiaojiu will seek revenge on you?"

Chen Long paused and said, "I have reasons to kill him."

study.

Xun Liu said to Prime Minister Xun: "Foster father, did Chen Long really kill Lu Yuan? Should I ask my sixth brother to go to the Governor's Mansion to gather information?"

Prime Minister Xun hummed.

Xun Liu went to the Governor's Office immediately.

Xun Liu is an outer disciple of Qianji Pavilion. His martial arts skills are comparable to those of the Twelve Guards, but he never expected that he would be discovered by Bai Qingchen and King Miao's secret guards as soon as he entered the Governor's Mansion.

He tried several times but failed to sneak into the Governor's Mansion.

"Foster father, the Governor's Mansion has stepped up its security, I can't get in."

Xun Liu reported to Prime Minister Xun in the study.

Xun Qi asked, "Sixth brother, have you seen any doctors or imperial physicians coming in or out?"

Xun Liu shook his head: "No."

Xun Qi thought for a moment and said, "I forgot that Meng Xiaojiu is a miracle doctor. If Lu Yuan is really in trouble, there is no need to seek help from another doctor. However, if Lu Yuan is really dead, shouldn't the Governor's Office issue an obituary? Si Snake took the body away, which means that Si Snake saw that it was Chen Long who killed Lu Yuan. With the temper of the Miao King, I'm afraid he has already rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion and died with Chen Long and us, right?"

What on earth is the Governor's Office doing?

Why did he suddenly not understand?

Prime Minister Xun said, "Let Madam Yan go to the Governor's Mansion."
