After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The southwest is hotter than Da Zhou, and there is already a hint of heat in the nights at the end of April.

Meng Qianqian went to the cold palace openly.

Now she was under Lu Fengyin's guise, using the excuse of investigating a case, and no one dared to stop her.

The person who led her there was Pang Zhong, the steward of the cold palace.

Pang Zhong held up a lantern respectfully and said, "That day, I was teaching a few servants who had made mistakes in the front garden, and suddenly I heard the sound of fighting in the back garden. When I hurried over, I saw Your Majesty and King Miao fell into the dry well one after another. Not long after... Miss Zhaozhao also accidentally..."

When she thought of Zhao Zhao, Meng Qianqian felt a pain in her heart.

The little guy has been away from her for so long, I wonder if he will look for her.

Are you hungry?

Are you scared?

As they were talking, the two had arrived at the crime scene.

"That's it."

Pang Zhong pointed to the fenced-off dry well and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has had this place fenced off."

"Has anyone else been here?"

Meng Qianqian suppressed her emotions and asked.

Pang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, the Imperial Preceptor, the General, several ladies, and... the princes have all been here."

When he mentioned the princes, he probably thought of the King Rui who had just been murdered, and paused slightly.

"I understand. Please leave first."

"This……"

Meng Qianqian's eyes were sharp: "What? My words are no longer effective? Or do you, a mere steward of the cold palace, also want to monitor my every move?!"

Pang Zhong was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "I dare not! I deserve to die!"

Meng Qianqian said coldly: "Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes! I'll take my leave!"

Pang Zhong put down the lantern and crawled away.

Meng Qianqian looked down at the dry well and asked, "Did you find anything?"

A familiar voice came from the bottom of the well: "Not yet, it's too dark down there."

Meng Qianqian was about to jump into the dry well with a lantern, but Lu Yuan climbed up before her.

"doing what?"

Lu Yuan frowned.

Meng Qianqian said: "I'll take the lantern down for you."

Lu Yuan carried her down from the well, and glanced at her helplessly and speechlessly: "Meng Xiaojiu, can you not be so reckless every time?"

Meng Qianqian blinked and looked at him innocently.

Here we go again...

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I guess there is a trap below. If I fall down and touch the ground, I will fall into the trap and I will never be able to get out."

Meng Qianqian sniffed hard.

Lu Yuan asked curiously, "What are you doing now?"

Meng Qianqian put her head into the dry well and sniffed around like a kitten: "I want to smell if there is any smell of death."

Lu Yuan: “…”

He looked at someone's little perky butt and thought it was kind of cute.

Meng Qianqian raised her head from the dry well and said, "I feel dizzy."

Lu Yuan stopped her and asked her to sit down at the wellhead with a look of both anger and amusement.

Meng Qianqian slowed down and said seriously: "I didn't smell it. Your Majesty and Grandpa should not have died in there."

Lu Yuan: "...Thank you."

Meng Qianqian asked: "Is there a hidden secret?"

Lu Yuan hummed: "I suspect there is a secret passage hidden below, but the secret passage can only be entered but not exited."

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "That's why you stopped me from going down."

Lu Yuan said: "Even the two old men can't return the same way. If we get caught in it, it will only be a waste of two generals."

If other people heard this, they would probably say, "It's rare to flatter yourself like this."

However, Meng Qianqian nodded in agreement.

One of the young couple dares to put on gold, and the other dares to inlay diamonds.

Lu Yuan touched his chin and looked at the dry well meaningfully: "Instead of groping for it ourselves, it is better to let them take the initiative to deliver the clues to our door."

-

Lu Fengyin has a magnificent house in the imperial city.

Her new lover lived here after entering the city.

In order to ensure the success of the mission, Hu Lie sent out his three most powerful secret guards, who successfully avoided the patrol of the guards and abducted the new lover who was about to go to bed.

The new lover was taken to Hu Lie's courtyard.

Hu Lie was a military general.

He doesn't like to receive guests in his study.

Besides, the new lover is not a guest.

In the simple tea room, apart from tables, chairs and tea sets, there were only weapons on the wall - a crescent-shaped sword, a sky-splitting battle axe and an empty shelf.

Hou Yi's bow was originally displayed on the shelf.

As a result, Hu Lie was careless and lost Jingzhou, and Hou Yi's bow fell into Lu Yuan's hands.

The new lover was thrown to the ground by the secret guards.

Hu Lie looked at him sharply: "Are you Zhu Huan?"

Luo Shan smiled and said, "It is me."

Hu Lie was full of murderous intent, and few people were not intimidated by him: "You are a pretty boy, but you are quite courageous. Tell me, who sent you to approach the princess?"

Luo Shan raised his shoulders lazily, signaling the secret guard to take the dirty hands off his shoulders.

The secret guard looked at Hu Lie.

Hu Lie made a gesture.

The secret guard retreated and stood guard at the door with a stern look in his eyes.

Luo Shan stood up with a smile and brushed off the dust on his clothes.

He used his own face.

Anyway, he has always worn a mask in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and few people have seen his real face.

Hu Lie was a grown man, so he naturally couldn't stand men with feminine looks, but he had to admit that this pretty boy was much more handsome than his own son.

Luo Shan calmly found a chair and sat down: "General, if I tell you who ordered it, will you believe it?"

Hu Lie said: "You speak first, and I will make the decision!"

Luo Shan smiled faintly: "I said, what good can it do?"

Hu Lie said in a deep voice: "You have insulted a princess of a country, and your crime should be put to death. If you are willing to make meritorious contributions, this general can make the decision on behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Jin and spare your life! Not only that, this general promises to let you and your younger sister leave the imperial city safely, and to ensure that you and your sister will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your lives!"

Luo Shan said contemptuously: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess becomes the Empress, you will be the ones to be executed."

"Be bold!"

Hu Lie slapped the table.

Luo Shan just smiled lightly: "General, you should be the one who has turned back from your wrong path. You know very well what the King of Jin did. He is the one who committed treason, and you were just deceived by him. If you are willing to make meritorious contributions and turn to the Princess, Zhu Huan is willing to say a few good words for you in front of the Princess."

Hu Lie felt extremely humiliated.

How could he, a man of seven feet tall, crawl at the feet of a woman? !

Hu Lie was furious and said, "Zhu Huan, don't refuse my toast! I have killed at least 8,000 people. You don't really think I am a kind person, do you?"

Luo Shan spread his hands: "General, you can kill me if you want. It's my bad luck to fall into your hands, but it's impossible for me to betray the princess."

Hu Lie said sarcastically, "Kill you? Wouldn't that be too easy for you? Come on! Bring on the torture instruments!"

The secret guards outside the door carried a table full of torture instruments that had been prepared long ago. Each one was stained with blood and rust, which was shocking to the eye.

Hu Lie walked to a table of torture instruments, picked up a pair of tongs, compared them, glanced at Luo Shan, put them down, and picked up a pair of iron hooks instead.

"This is not an ordinary hook, it is specially used to pierce the scapula. A pretty boy like you probably won't be able to endure that kind of pain for more than half an incense stick of time!"
