"Mr. Wen, do you have any serious matters to say to me?" After a few gossips, Lu Qi pointed to the topic.

Wen Yu smiled and said with kindness: "Mr. Lu, do you know Mr. Li, the former Minister of Rites?"

Lu Qi was shocked when he heard this and said calmly: "If you don't know me, Lord Wen should understand my background and family background. How could he know the noble minister?"

Wen Yu nodded and said in harmony: "I know Lord Lu's origin, but why did Lord Lu buy the female relatives of the sinner?"

Lu Qi's face changed slightly, and he immediately heard something was wrong. He glanced at Wen Yu in confusion, so he told the truth about Yuzhu, and finally said in harmony: "Master Wen, Yuzhu is also my friend. It is normal for me to buy her the relatives of her old lover. And even if I want to buy it, it will not violate the national law."

Wen Yu shook his head and said with his heart: "Lord Lu bought the family of the criminal ministers as concubines as slaves, which is not a violation of the national law. However, Lord Lu, your identity is special. You are a military officer of the Xinghua Army Jiedu. Moreover, Lord Lu has frequent activities after coming to Beijing. First, he went to the house of the Minister of Works to pay homage to the Minister of Works, and then his relatives who came with Lord Lu went to pay homage to the Minister of Rites. Later, Lord Lu actually joined the chief of the Yongwang Mansion and served as the brigade commander of the Yongwang Mansion. How could Lord Lu's activities not arouse suspicion from the court? The court now suspects the generals in the Xinghua Army and collude with the criminals."

Lu Qi was surprised when he heard this and hurriedly said, "The matter of buying the female relatives of the criminals is purely my own business, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the generals of Xinghua Army."

Wen Yu said seriously: "The court only doubted and did not conduct investigations and indictments. Moreover, this matter involved the Minister of Works, Minister of Rites and Chief Secretary of the Prince Yong's Mansion. The court cannot easily punish the crime."

Lu Qi frowned and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Minister of Works, Minister of Rites, and Chief Secretary of the Prince Yong's Mansion."

"So why did Lord Lu know the three masters?" Wen Yu asked in a harmonious voice.

"I don't know the two masters, the Minister of Works and the Minister of Rites. This time I came to Beijing to escort Wang Zhuan's wife to visit relatives. County Magistrate Zhao wrote a letter and recommended me to the Minister of Works. I went to the Minister of Works' Mansion to send a letter of recommendation and a gift. At that time, the third lady saw me. After reading the letter of recommendation and accepted the gift, I asked me to wait for the letter. I waited for three days to ask, but the Minister of Works was unwilling to accept me in the school, so I went to meet the Chief of the Prince Yong's Mansion to seek advancement and was appointed as the commander of the Prince Yong's Mansion. As for Mrs. Wang's visit to the Prince Yong's Mansion, it was even more unrelated to this matter." Lu Qida explained briefly.

Wen Yu nodded after hearing this and asked again: "How did Lord Lu know the Chief Secretary of the Prince Yong's Mansion?"

Lu Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "A few days ago, I met Lord Luo's third wife and son in Shida County. He was attacked by bandits at that time, so I helped me. For this reason, Mrs. Luo asked me to meet Luo Changshi in the capital later."

Wen Yu nodded lightly, and Lu Qi asked in confusion: "Master Wen, how could you ask about this?"

Wen Yu and Yan said: "It was the one above who ordered Dali Temple to investigate secretly. Because I had been to Shida County to investigate the case, Shangguan, who handled the matter, called me to inquire. As soon as I saw Lord Lu's information, I took the initiative to participate in the secret investigation. Lord Lu, don't worry, I will report this matter truthfully, and there should be no trouble."

When Lu Qiyi heard this, he bowed his hands and said seriously: "Thank you, Lord Wen, Tianfeng."

Wen Yu and Yan said, "You don't have to be polite, I'm doing business as well. It's getting late, so I won't delay Lord Lu's business."

Lu Qi looked at Wen Yu in a daze, but saw Wen Yu blinking at him. He felt something when he moved. He quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Mr. Wen, I have no time today. We will talk about it again a day and say goodbye."

Lu Qi left the teahouse for the front legs, and Wen Yu went to the next teahouse. In the next teahouse, there were two middle-aged men with big ears and elegant temperament, the other was a middle-aged man with a white face and slightly fat face, and two white-faced men, standing in the teahouse.

"I am so humble to see Lord Xing." Wen Yu respectfully met the white and slightly fat middle-aged man on the whole week.

"Very good, you're doing well." The white-faced middle-aged man spoke sharply, as he seemed to be a eunuch.

"Mr. Thank you for your praise." Wen Yu said respectfully.

"Okay, this matter ends here. The family will return to the palace to report their lives." The white-faced middle-aged man said shrillly.

"Sir, Master Lu is loyal and righteous, with outstanding martial arts skills. Please give me more good words." Wen Yu hurriedly made a respectful comment.

"Being arrogant, don't retreat." The middle-aged man with big ears suddenly scolded. Wen Yu quickly responded and lowered his head and stepped aside.

"Sir Xing, my nephew is reckless, please don't be surprised." The middle-aged man with big ears said humbly and respectfully.

"Haha, Lord Du is so serious. Ling's nephew is a person with a temperament. He heard that he has made great contributions to Jiangzhang this time. The future is limitless. His words are for the country and the public. He must report truthfully when he returns to the palace." Lord Xing said shrillly, without any displeasure.

"Thank you, Lord Xing, don't blame me." Lord Du, who was big-eared, said happily, and sent Lord Xing and the two men in blue away with politeness.

After Lord Xing left, Lord Du's face darkened and said unhappy: "What do you say randomly is really ignorant."

Wen Yu said respectfully: "Uncle, Lord Lu is a general and is a trustworthy person. Now he has something to do with the Chief Secretary of the Prince Yong's Mansion, so it is worthy of our connection."

Lord Du shook his head and frowned and said, "You are thinking too simple. Now the undercurrents in the court are surging, and all the ministers are cautious in their words and actions, for fear of causing trouble. If this Lu buys the female relatives of the criminals, it may involve some trouble. If you connect with him, it means you are looking for trouble."

Wen Yu said in surprise: "Uncle, what do you mean is that His Majesty Emperor Tang still needs to investigate Mr. Li's affairs?"

Lord Du frowned and said, "This is hard to say. Now the Lord is kind-hearted. Jiu killed Mr. Li out of the helplessness of the king. According to the principle, the Lord will not go into the deeper investigation of Guanglian. However, the Lord is most taboo to the generals' disloyalty. Once the suspect is in trouble, the person surnamed Lu will also have a great disaster."

Wen Yu said in confusion: "Uncle, Mr. Li is just a powerful ritual official. Why is His Majesty the Emperor of Tang killing him?"

Lord Du said coldly: "For why, there are so many things to do. Mr. Li is an ungrateful old and stubborn. His current master likes Buddhism and suppresses Taoism. But he just believes that he is an old minister of two dynasties. He repeatedly wrote letters to advise Your Majesty to attach importance to the governance of the country by inaction, and made words to criticize Buddhism for harming the country. This is one of the disasters. The second reason for the disaster is that his ancestral home is the northern official family. The current master has always distrusts officials from the north. Mr. Li refuses to resign without knowing the crisis. The third reason for the disaster is that he offended the Hou Party."

Wen Yu said in a harmonious voice: "Uncle, according to Xiaoyu, His Majesty Emperor Tang will no longer ask for guilt."

Lord Du said indifferently: "Even if the surname Lu is not implicated, he is not worthy of your connection. He is just a military officer with virtual power."

Wen Yu said respectfully: "Uncle, Xiao Yu just tried his best to get him in touch, but he didn't pay any price."

Lord Du said coldly: "You made a statement in front of Eunuch Xing, don't you know that you owe a favor?"

Wen Yu said respectfully: "Uncle, Eunuch Xing is just a second-class manager in the palace. Uncle, you are the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and a dignified minister of the court. Eunuch Xing wishes you would owe you a favor. Xiaoyu borrowed this excuse to give him a thousand taels of silver so that he could get closer to his uncle."

Lord Du glanced at Wen Yu and smiled and said, "Very good, your mind and ability have improved greatly."

Wen Yu said respectfully: "It's my uncle who taught me well."

Lord Du smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "Xiaoyu, my uncle knows that you are unwilling to grow up in Dali Temple. He always dreams of becoming the Yulin general who leads troops. Don't worry, my uncle will think about you."

Wen Yu said respectfully: "Uncle is the elder who understands Xiaoyu the most. Xiaoyu has the care of his uncle, which is a blessing in this life."

Lord Du nodded with a helpful expression, stretched out his right hand and patted Wen Yu on the left shoulder.
