Angelica returns

It is definitely not the evil spirit Li Qian who wants to live forever. Only mortals want to escape life, old age, sickness and death, and live forever.

Chen Xi hadn't shown up for a long time. For some reason, Zhou Tingyu really wanted to meet him now, and then indiscriminately pushed all the responsibilities to him, trying his best to return justice to Shi Luhou's residence.

He smiled self-deprecatingly at He Yihuan, and said, "What can I do? Bring sister Xiangyao out, and break up with Lu Jin...

Afterwards, from Laihu to Beimo to Qiongzhi, I found that the matter of the soul-twitching technique has become more and more involved, and it is so widespread that even women raised in the deep palace cannot escape it. That is my aunt , can I still stand by?Only by catching the real culprit can I comfort my aunt's spirit in heaven. "

"The emperor is investigating with great fanfare, and the real culprit will definitely wait for the opportunity to hide. Ting Yu, do you have any other ideas?" Why did he ask.

Hearing this, Zhou Tingyu hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said: "...No. Let's wait for the emperor's news first, and see if we can find some clues."

"That's all there is to it. Shall we go home now?"

"No." Zhou Tingyu affirmed, "Do you really want to pound Litang's herbs for a month?

With her habit, my small yard is not enough for her to toss about. If she tells you to go to a cliff, you are not worried, I am worried! "

"It doesn't matter." He smiled when he called him, proving that he was not in such a bad mood.

Zhou Tingyu: "It's okay. Let's go, it's still early, go to the household department and find Lu Jin."

"Looking for Lu Jin?" He Zhihuan asked again hesitantly.

"Yes what's the matter?"

He Zhihua: "When you were in mourning, you rarely saw him. I thought you didn't want to face him."

Zhou Tingyu: "He's not a jackal, why don't I want to face him? Even though I had a grudge before and didn't want to face Shi Luhou's mansion, Lu Jin is always my friend."

"But..." Why did he stop talking.He wanted to say, however, if the owner of the altar was Shi Luhou, Shi Luhou commissioned or used Zhang Hua to build the altar with the help of the Ministry of Industry.

Then, on the night when Lu Jin took the talisman to the prison to interrogate Zhang Hua, he would definitely be able to find out that the master behind the altar was his father.

But Lu Jin chose to conceal it, and Zhang Hua also became a scapegoat, and Zhang Hua did not confess the truth about the altar's rightful owner when his soul was dying.Therefore, either Zhang Hua's loyalty to the altar master can be learned from, or Lu Jin used tricks.

"...but you always trusted him so unconditionally."

Knowing that he couldn't tell the truth, He Hua had no choice but to change his words and change his words.Because, if Zhou Tingyu found out that the people around him were going against him one by one, how sad it would be.

"I trust you more, so I can call you." Zhou Tingyu smiled, "Don't worry, go to the household department, I have business with Lu Jin."

……

Zhou Tingyu vaguely remembered that before leaving Wangchuan, Lu Jin had talked with him about some deviations in the accounts of the account department.

There was a sum of royal expenses, and the amount did not vary much. If it weren't for Lu Jin's carefulness, it would be difficult to detect it.

Moreover, it was too slow for the emperor to gradually investigate from the court ladies and eunuchs, so Zhou Tingyu wanted to go ahead.

It was almost noon, and in the household department, Lu Jin was still reading.

Zhou Tingyu entered through the door, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Lord Lu, don't you want to go home for dinner?"

"Ting Yu?" Lu Jin's eyes lit up. In the past period of time, when he went to the uncle's mansion to look for him, nine times out of ten he refused.But now, I really didn't expect that he would come to find me.

From Lu Jin's reaction, Zhou Tingyu understood that the emperor's pace was indeed slower than imagined. "Why, you didn't see me much during the three months of mourning, and you forgot what I looked like?"

Lu Jin: "That's not... it's just that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Why did you come to see me today?"

Zhou Tingyu snorted, "I can't find you if I have nothing to do? Don't force me to see the hat of Wangyou."

But this time, Lu Jin didn't choke with him, but turned to why did he call him, and asked, "Sir, can you come in?"

"Okay!" Zhou Tingyu immediately grabbed the words to avoid embarrassment, "He eats, sleeps, cooks well, everything is fine. But my sister Xiangyao, in your Luhou Mansion, everything is fine?"

Lu Jin lowered his head and smiled slightly, "Of course she is fine."

"Well. That's about the same." Zhou Tingyu said with relief.

"The greetings are over, let me tell you why you are here this time?" Lu Jin knew that Zhou Tingyu was no longer the idler who was on the go, and he must have something to do if he came to find him.

Zhou Tingyu stopped thinking about it, and said seriously: "Lu Jin, if I say that the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou was man-made, would you believe me?"

"I believe it. But do you have any evidence?" Lu Jin looked directly at him without dodging.

"You said before that there is something wrong with the account of the Ministry of Accounts. I thought it was a petty theft by the court ladies and eunuchs. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that it has something to do with the poisonous weeds in Shoukang Palace."

Lu Jin was shocked, "Poisonous weed?"

Zhou Tingyu: "Bo fell back. Eating is highly poisonous."

Hearing that, without further ado, Lu Jin dug out the account books, pointing to the details of the discrepancy in the original account, "Before and after the Great Heat of Dingmao in Dacheng, Shoukang Palace bought [-] pots of sweet-leaved orchid sunflower, and lost five pots, totaling a hundred dollars. "

"The loss of five pots is a deviation. Those five pots are poisonous weeds, and Bo Luohui." Zhou Tingyu said sonorously, "Who approved this account?"

Lu Jin: "Zhang Hua."

"Zhang Hua, it really is him." Zhou Tingyu sarcastically said, "Unfortunately, he is already a dead man. Lu Jin, you are also frustrated to take his place."

"The emperor's order is hard to break, what can I do?" Lu Jin paused, frowned and asked again, "So, Zhang Hua deliberately murdered the Empress Dowager Zhou?"

"I don't know." Zhou Tingyu answered simply. "Lu Jin, what do you think? Zhang Hua's arms are really so long that they can reach into the palace?"

"I don't know." Lu Jin also answered simply.

Hearing this, Zhou Tingyu looked at Lu Jin for a while again, his face remained the same, but his heart was not clear, so he sighed, turned around and said, "Let's go first."

"Where are you going?" Lu Jin blurted out.

"Go home and eat, I'm still hungry if you're not hungry."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Tingyu pulled He Yihua out of the household department.He was really in a dilemma. He wanted to investigate but didn't dare to. If someone really hid the knife with a smile, what should he do?

Inside the house, Lu Jin looked at the backs of the two leaving, and did not take his eyes off for a long time.

He felt that he had compromised a lot, but some situations still could not be reversed.

Why Huan thought it was right.That night, he took the talisman and went to the Heavenly Prison to interrogate Zhang Hua, and after only a few sentences, he found out that the master behind the altar was not someone else, but his father, Lu Yang, Marquis of Shilu.

He also couldn't believe it for a long time.His upright, noble and accomplished military father would actually be the master of the altar, and the master of the soul-drawing master who is good at forbidden arts.

With a mortal heart, he questioned his father, why?

A tiger's poison does not eat its children, Lu Yang hugged him by the shoulder, and asked back, I am not satisfied with being a mortal, I want to live forever, is there something wrong?

Is there something wrong?Is it wrong to draw people's souls to become immortals?Lu Jin also roared and threatened him with death. If his father didn't stop, he would die with him.

However, people who are trapped in the swamp cannot easily get out. Lu Yang looks like a gentleman, but he is already crazy in his bones.

He wants to live forever, and to achieve his goal, he can do whatever it takes.Whether the price is paid by others or by yourself.

Lu Jin knew that his father lacked the last medicine, the spirit of a man.

But by coincidence, one night, he caught his father talking to a strange man, and the man called Lu Yang his father at night.

The man's name is Chen Xi.Shortly after the incident of the altar, he mysteriously moved to Shi Luhou's mansion. That day, his father personally repaired the backyard, which was prepared for him.

He never thought that he had a brother.

Tonight, tonight is He Xi.

I was born by Shi Luhou's main wife, born in the sun, full of vigor, and Chen Xi was born by Shi Luhou looking for joy, born in a valley, and I can't avoid it.

He can be frank and frank, but he can only live alone in the gutter.If you say that you are the face of Shi Luhou.Then, Chen Xi is his dark side.

And that day, Chen Xi said to Lu Yang that Zhou Tingyu was even more so when calling why he was not very human, and Zhou Tingyu was indispensable if the soul-drawing technique was to be carried out smoothly.

Zhou Tingyu will die if he meets a rising immortal.

Hearing this, Lu Jin's heart was shocked——

Zhou Tingyu can't die, he won't let Zhou Tingyu die.Whatever else is fine.

In order to protect Zhou Tingyu, he must not provoke Lu Yang, he can only obey and supervise at the same time, try his best to stabilize Lu Yang, and delay his plan again and again.Then, he promised Shi Luhou to sit firmly in the household department, promised to marry Xiangyao, and promised to keep him secret.

But on the night of their marriage, Lu Yang went to Chen Xi's place, but brought back Zhou Tingyu and He Yihuan who had lost their way. The secret of the government has been noticed.

However, the other party is so alert, how could he be unaware.

That day, when He Hehua made eye contact with him, and then took away Zhou Tingyu who threatened to have a bridal chamber, he knew that the deal was done and the matter had been revealed.

Why do you know everything, but it's just a horse in Shiluhou's mansion.

Lu Jin thought, on the night of the wedding, He Zhihuan must have seen Chen Xi in the dark.

And later Zhou Tingyu rejected him for thousands of miles, which made this point even more solid.

In the quagmire of isolation, Lu Jin sometimes feels extremely helpless.But what can be done, he is Shi Luhou's son, and he can't persuade his father to turn around and repay his debts, which is only right and proper.As long as Zhou Tingyu doesn't hate himself.

But today, Zhou Tingyu suddenly went to the household department, which is tantamount to invoking the teacher to ask the crime.He said that the Empress Dowager Zhou died when Bo Luohui was sent off by Zhang Hua.

And Zhang Hua has long been brainwashed by Lu Yang with the excuse of longevity, and has become a mortal chess piece on Lu Yang's chessboard.Where is Zhang Hua who wants to arrange Bo Luohui for Shoukang Palace, it is clearly Lu Yang.

In the past, Lu Jin was not clear about Lu Yang's request to "settle down in the household" and "marry Xiangyao", so he thought that he just wanted to start a family and start a career, and he was cautious in his words and deeds after he had some ties. Now, after learning about the Queen Mother Zhou's He suddenly realized the cause of death - Lu Yang not only wanted to live forever, but also wanted to overthrow the Dacheng Dynasty and establish himself as emperor!
