The Lu family, I haven’t heard such a word for many years. Zi Junhou, who was kneeling on the ground, didn’t realize it for a while. After thinking about it for a while, his eyes widened, his body fell back unconsciously, and he tried his best to talk to Xie Xuan. Putting some distance away, he never thought that as a military general, he would show timidity in front of a child who didn't know martial arts at all.

"Looking at the appearance of Lord Hou, could it be that he has forgotten? Also, since the Ninghou Mansion disappeared from the capital overnight, none of the famous nobles in Beijing dared to mention the Lu family. But Lord Hou forgot, the younger generation has a good memory. Speaking of which, the Lu and Xiao families are both the leading families in Daqi, and after a few generations, they are all great figures who fought with the Tai/ancestor on the battlefield. They have the same prestige and great military achievements, but the Lu family is a scholarly family He was born in the first place, and he also studied martial arts documents, so he has a better reputation both in front of the emperor and among the people. Probably this is the reason why Lord Hou has always wanted Ninghou to disappear. As long as there is no Lu family, your Xiao family can be in Beijing The Chinese are blessed with the best advantage and the family dominates." Zi Junhou fell back, Xie Xuan leaned forward, staring straight at Zi Junhou, his appearance didn't look like a trial case, but more like a debt collector.

"Nonsense!" Zi Junhou originally wanted to shout, but he lacked confidence, the power of this sentence was really not very good.

"It's a pity that Lord Hou tried his best to defeat Ninghou, but he didn't expect that the former emperor immediately supported Marquis An Yong. In the capital, at the foot of the emperor, Lord Hou didn't think about how the emperor could let your family dominate? He heard about Lu Xiao when he was young. The two families are at odds and have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Doesn’t Lord Hou think that the emperor can’t see it at all? It’s just that no matter how chaotic the two families were in the past, it didn’t touch the root of Daqi. Speaking of which, no matter how dissatisfied the previous generations No matter how you try to trip up the other party, it is good. You have never done such a lowly thing. The loyal soul of Xiao Hou's ancestors for three generations, and suddenly he was crowned with the title of anti-thief. You must know how it feels by now. , What, is this prison cell in Dali Temple still in your eyes?" Xie Xuan got up, picked up a soldering iron from the shelf, and put it into the blazing fire.

"Xie Xuan, you, what do you want to do? You just said you wouldn't torture me! You don't keep your promises, villain, villain!" The former Zi Junhou had also been on the battlefield, so a little injury is not a problem. The bad thing is that Daqi has been calm for the past few years. He has long been used to enjoying life in Beijing. Now let alone a war, he can't help becoming nervous when he sees Xie Xuan burning a soldering iron.

"Hou Ye is right, this junior is really not a gentleman, otherwise he wouldn't be put in this position by the emperor." Xie Xuan took the soldering iron and flipped it twice in the stove, as if to burn it More evenly, "So in order to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, I troubled Lord Hou to cooperate with some good students to answer my question just now. Speaking of which, I have never seen a prisoner's flesh and blood, and I don't mind breaking this exception in my heart." .”

"If you want to ask, then ask, if you want to kill, then kill, give me a good time, why bother to torture people?" The little majesty of Lord Zi in Zi Junhou's heart is being wiped away by Xie Xuan little by little. "Don't you already know? It was Prince Yi who was going to rebel, he found me, and told me that everything was ready to cover him outside the palace. As soon as he came to power, he would change the former court and the old department. What is An Yonghou, Marquis Weiyuan has all his titles cut off, and only my Xiao family is left."

"The cunning rabbit is a dead dog. If Master Hou was ten years younger, I would believe that just such a condition could convince Master Hou, but don't Master Hou feel that these things are not convincing now? Who would not? Hey, I'm afraid Master Hou dared to agree to it because he knew more things. Or maybe Master Hou wants to try the soldering iron in the hands of the junior, you see, it's already burned red." Xie Xuan lifted the soldering iron before putting it in. It turned out to be all red in a while.

"He, he stationed private soldiers. As soon as the new emperor came to power, he began to secretly recruit private soldiers. Up to now, the previous hiding place seems to be in that Hualiu alley. Later, because of the large number of people, he thought about building another place. A place to hide private soldiers."

"Wu Family Village."

"Yes, Wujia Village. They originally planned to use the epidemic to turn Wujia Village into a ghost village. No one would dare to approach this place in half a year. Unfortunately, the emperor sent someone to find out the clues and found that they were the ones who poisoned it."

"The Wu Family Village case failed, you wait until one plan fails and make another plan, and plan to assassinate the emperor at the time of the great sacrifice..."

"No, it's not. We don't know why the high priest committed murder at the sacrifice. The case of Wujiacun has just been tried. In those two days when the king of England entered Beijing, the emperor issued an order to strengthen the guards in the capital. King Yi told him to restrain himself, saying that he would Waiting for the opportunity to do big things, with such a plan, how can the high priest murder the emperor and startle the snake for no reason?"

Xie Xuan had discussed with Li Yong before that the high priest's case should not have been done by Yi Wang and the others, but now he is only asking to verify his conjecture, it seems that this wave of chaos in Beijing is not the only one.Seeing that Zi Junhou explained very well, Xie Xuan no longer held the piece of iron, threw it into the stove, walked back to the table and sat down, picked up a pen and dipped in ink. "Generally, I already know the situation. Now I will ask Lord Hou some questions as usual. I will ask each Lord Hou to answer one. You don't need to say too much, just make it clear. Don't worry. It's been a long night. This officer has already made plans for tonight." , and stay with Lord Hou alone."

Zi Junhou's face was ashen.

"When did King Yi contact you for the first time?"

"About four years ago."

"What's the matter?"

"The matter of Ninghou's rebel army."

"Ninghou, he has no rebels! The Lu family is a loyal family, and we can't get rid of those traitorous bastards!"

"It's King Yi. King Yi said that there is evidence of Marquis Ning's collusion with the barbarians, and he asked me to go there to explain. At that time, I clearly saw the documents of his dealings with the barbarians. It is absolutely true, and there are obviously... ..." Zi Junhou said this, as if a little remorseful, he covered his eyes with one hand.

"That document is fake, isn't it?" When Xie Xuan asked this sentence, his voice was trembling, thinking that Ning Hou died tragically, Lu Tan fled in a hurry, and now there is no news, and he is on the verge of the truth at this time.

Zi Junhou nodded weakly, and said anxiously: "But I didn't know at the time! I thought it was true, I thought the Lu family had really surrendered to the enemy and treason, that's why I wrote a letter asking my old department to bring some soldiers in The border town pretended to be a barbarian to provoke troubles in order to lure him there. King Yi only said that some letters and evidence were not enough, as long as he could be lured there, he would naturally be able to catch him interacting with the barbarians. Back, even the bones have not been able to return home."

Xie Xuan tried to calm himself down and asked him, "Then when did you know that the letter was fake?"

"After he left for half a month, news came from the old department that the matter had been discovered by Ninghou to be a big deal. I went to discuss it with King Yi. He only reassured me that Ninghou would not come back. At that time Not only that, he also intercepted the letter I wrote to the old ministry to ask them to pretend to be a barbarian. It was also because of this that I had to board his ship...you said That's right, I hurt the lintel, I have no face to face the ancestors of the Xiao family, and I am even more sorry to the Lu family!"

The truth is right in front of him, Xie Xuan has nothing to say.
