The rise and fall of generations day and night, the river breeze blows to the trees in the previous dynasty, and the new and old dynasties change day and night, repeating over and over again in the long river of history.

The new dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty was less than a hundred years old. The founding emperor was the son of the military generals of the previous dynasty. Because he could not stand the foolish and cowardly emperor of the previous dynasty, the Jin soldiers were in a strong position, so he used his own strength to summon a group of heroes to rise up, overthrow the court and drove the Jin soldiers out of the pass, establish the new dynasty to establish the capital of Yanjing and establish the country as the Daqi, and take the intention and work together to work together to the ruler and the people.

At the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, all the people were in trouble. After two generations of emperors and the hard work of civil and military officials in the dynasty, they gradually returned to Kangning and lived a peaceful and stable life. However, several people knew that all this was just a whitewash, and Daqi was still full of wind and rain.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th should have been a joyful festival for the whole country, but Zhu Yuan, the Emperor Zhongzong of Qi, was assassinated. Although it was a surprise, it became the beginning of everything.

There were more than ten living assassins, most of which were killed by the guards on the spot by the guards. Later, they committed suicide due to the failure of assassination. There was only one living person who was lucky enough to capture them. After Zhongzong returned to the palace safely, he immediately ordered the three departments to secretly ask about the case. However, after being severely punished and interrogated, the assassin only said one thing: to know the inside story, unless he was asked to meet the Dali Temple Minister Lu Jue himself.

The assassin assassination of the emperor was avenged by King Jin, who was implicated by the witchcraft case ten years ago. The witchcraft, whether true or false, has been a taboo for the royal family since ancient times, and it is the most untouchable taboo in Zhongzong's mind. After assassinating the emperor, this sentence was revealed. You can imagine what kind of fate Lu Jue would be! But what people never saw was the emperor who should have remained neutral, but this time he chose to favor Lu Jue, with only one sentence Lu Jue relapsed and his health had not healed, and he forced the case down. Although the case was suppressed, anyone with discerning eyes knew that everything would not be too calm.

The assassination began with a vigorous momentum, but the ending became silent, and no waves were raised. In the end, there would be people who were indignant. Only half a day after the sacred edict was issued, Lu Jue's mansion was covered with eyeliners. All of them were delusional to show his flaws so that he could hold it in his hands and make it impossible for him to doom!

But the opposite is that the Lu Mansion, which should have been facing a great enemy, still maintains its low-key and calmness. However, there are strange waves in this calmness, just like the last battle before dawn, and the silence makes everyone's nerves tense.

Five days after the assassination, the Lu Mansion was like an ice-clad lake. He threw stones over and didn't even respond to a ripple. It made everyone lose patience, but just as everyone wanted to give up the idea of ​​surveillance, a sedan chair carried by red and green thorns came out of Lu Jue's mansion and headed straight for the Ministry of Justice. The eyeliners immediately cheered up, in addition to sending people to follow, they also had to go all out to report to their master.

After almost half an hour of his journey, the sedan chair stopped steadily at the entrance of the punishment department. Ye Feng, the guard who was attending him, stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and helped out a young man wearing a sky-blue brocade robe with a pale face and elegant appearance. The young man did not rush in to go in, but stood at the gate where the door was open and no one was guarding. He looked at the upright plaque hanging above the gate, revealing a meaningful smile.

This person is no one else, but the Dali Temple Minister Lu Jue who is standing at the forefront.

Lu Jue knew exactly what situation he would face. It would not be difficult to do if he just stepped out of the insurance, but how to suppress the undercurrents and the series of troubles that followed was the most effort. Fortunately, no matter what, he still had the chance to turn his back! It was not too passive.

"Master, the criminal department has opened its hole but no one has seen us greet you. There must be a fraud in this. Will you give up this trip?"

Lu Jue, who was thinking, was pulled back by Ye Feng's question. He withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at him, and smiled slightly, "Since you come, you will be safe, and you will be here sooner or later. Why don't you go here?"

"Yes, Ye Feng will definitely protect his master."

"By the way, can you find the way?"

"Master, don't worry."

"Let's go." He lifted the corner of his robe and stepped onto the steps.

Ye Feng looked around and followed.

Just as they stepped in, a few people popped out of a corner.

What they were worried about is indeed a trap that the Ministry of Justice has set up. But even though they know that Lu Jue still has to take this step, he has been pushed to this point and will not be able to withstand it, and he will not be able to resist it. If he really has nothing to do, it will not be a matter of one person. For the public, he wants to die less, and for the private part, it is his entire family, so he cannot sit still and wait for death no matter what.

Although the two entered the cell very smoothly, there was still a bad thing. There was no one to lead the cell until they reached the last room. They found the cell where the assassin was imprisoned in the dim cell.

When he was not seen, Lu Jue had a 100% guess in his heart, but he was a little unexpected when he saw it. This person looked completely different from what he imagined. The man was silently nestled in the corner, his head lowered his face and was covered by his messy hair. He couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't figure out what he was feeling at this time. With the ragged prison clothes that had been beaten, he looked so sad from a distance.

After Lu Jue stood in the distance and looked at the person, he slowly stepped forward and said, "You are the assassin who assassinated the emperor? It seems that he is very injured!"

The assassin sitting there had heard someone's movements long ago and had no intention of paying attention. But when he heard Lu Jue's voice, his body trembled slightly, his head raised and his eyes flashed slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and looked over. Standing outside the prison door, there was a young man wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe. He seemed to understand something in his heart. He glanced at him, snorted, and lowered his head.

Lu Jue raised his eyebrows and said unhurriedly: "There are more than a dozen assassins who assassinated the emperor. Others were either killed or committed suicide, and you were the only one who survived. Although this matter is a bad thing, it is a good thing for some people! Therefore, in order to find out the behind-the-scenes commanders and to do this well, those officials will naturally use all kinds of means! Now you can withstand torture and not speak out, but you can't resist it for a lifetime. One day or two days, they have the opportunity to pry your mouth open, such as using money, power, beauty, and the blood affection they care the most. When you think about it, you may only die worse!"

It was obvious that the assassin struggled again, but in the end he just moved his lips slightly and pursed him tightly again.

Facing such a person who never speaks, Lu Jue knew that coercion and temptation were useless. All he wanted was patience and seduction. He handed Ye Feng a wink and signaled him to lay the door.

Ye Feng took the order and stepped forward, pulled out the steel knife, raised the knife and fell, and the lock fell to the ground. He reached out and pushed open the prison door and entered the cell first. After Lu Jue came in, he put away the steel knife and retreated behind him and kept paying attention to the assassin.

Lu Jue walked to the assassin and leaned slightly: "Why are you so stubborn even if you are a ants? You have hope of dying and everything will become clouds. I am a kind person who doesn't see these things, so I'm here to show you a way out, how about it?"

At this age and such dress, you can tell what kind of plan you have. There are many royal relatives who offer sacrifices to him, and he has seen a lot of them. He also regards all this as Lu Jue's scheming. The assassin raised his head and stared at him with firm eyes: "Is it because I don't understand what I said enough, or the officials who did not pass the words! First, they were coerced and severely punished, and then they were kind-hearted and tempted. It was really a plan that failed and another one! Oh, official, please don't work hard, it's still the same sentence, I won't see anyone except Lu Jue."

However, Lu Jue was not angry because of the situation that this sentence would push him into. Instead, he laughed a few times. After laughing, he squatted down in front of him and said, "So what if you see him? To be honest, the evidence is conclusive. Even if you don't say a word now, the government will definitely attack you for the sake of public opinion. Even if Lu Jue knows everything, he will definitely abandon you for the sake of fame and fortune. Now you have no way around, so why don't you choose to cooperate with me!"

The assassin didn't even agree, and snorted and said nothing.

"It's very good and strong, so let's talk about a simple and clear question! Think about the situation in which the witchcraft case was in that year, and everyone in the entire Daqi knows it. At this time, no one of the royal relatives was willing to intervene, let alone a small Dali Temple Minister." As he said that, Lu Jue stood up with his knees, and continued with his hands on his back: "So, there is no suspense about how he would choose!"

Yes! Why didn’t I expect such a serious problem? But then I thought about what kind of tricks this person would use to achieve success, and regarded this as Lu Jue’s plan. I shook my head and smiled and slowly stood up, putting his scars in front of Lu Jue: “You have seen this injury too. At worst, it’s just a death, why bother implicating others!”

"Are you righteous and trustworthy, or are you foolish and stupid? Assassinating the emperor is equivalent to breaking the sky. You have pushed Lu Jue out. Do you think that as long as you don't speak, he will not be implicated? You are naive, those officials are not stupid!" Although this sentence is terrible, it is a fact.

"This,,,,,,," the assassin realized the seriousness of the problem, sat down slowly while holding the wall, frowned and looked at him at a loss.

The longer the time delays, the more dangerous it becomes. Ye Feng hurriedly came forward to remind him: "Master, let's take it out and ask again!"

Lu Jue said: "Don't worry, I'll talk to him alone, you can go outside and guard."

Ye Feng said anxiously: "This is too dangerous, my master is still,,,,,,,,,"

Lu Jue said: "I will be careful."

"Yes" Ye Feng knew Lu Jue's temper very well, and it was useless to say more, so he didn't force it.

Lu Jue saw his expression and raised his hand to pat his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm a good deal. If you don't ask about some things clearly at this time, I'm afraid you will never have a chance in the future. Haven't you already found a way out? Go, if there is any abnormal movement, we will leave immediately."

"Yes, Ye Feng left." He bowed and retreated.

After watching Ye Feng go out, Lu Jue squatted down beside the assassin and said, "Even if the above is said, it won't be true. If you meet Lu Jue, what can he do if he knows all this, there must be a way to change everything?" As he said that, Lu Jue stretched out a hand to the assassin and smiled warmly in spring breeze, "Let's make a deal, I'll help you leave the Ministry of Justice alive and continue your previous life. Have you figured out how to repay me?"

How could the assassin not know what he committed? It is already considered kind to be uninvolved by the Nine Clans, and how could he survive? Suddenly, he heard what he said, he was full of doubts: "I know what I did, and you will not know, you dare to go against the will of heaven!"

“You can give it a try.”

"Try it, it seems that human life is not as good as grass in the eyes of you officials!"

"If you don't try, you know there is no way."

"Hmph, I have nothing to say." Hearing what he said was very unrestricted, so he chose to continue to remain silent. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope in this way.

Looking at his outstretched hand, Lu Jue sighed, withdrew his hand and pointed out the key points: "Since that's the case, I'll ask you a more obvious question. You always say you want to see Lu Jue, but you have seen him, and you can tell the truth and false after meeting him!"

It was obvious that the assassin began to restless, but he was still stubborn: "Well, of course, you can split it."

Lu Jue raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "It seems that he doesn't know me. Even a young man can't deceive me. How can you be fooled by those sly-minded officials? Sooner or later they will realize this. What if you think you are looking for someone to pretend to be? Instead of doing this, it's better to cooperate with me and maybe you will be protected by a complete body!"

After hearing Lu Jue's words, the assassin was not afraid, but seemed slightly anxious. He straightened his body and stubbornly tried his best to prove: "I think he was at a high level at a young age, and the name he obtained was also known to everyone, but no one knew it."

Lu Jue put away his smile and said firmly: "Because I am Lu Jue."

"You are Lu Jue." The assassin stood up in surprise and stared at Lu Jue in disbelief. He looked at him several times and burst into laughter: "You are Lu Jue, do you really treat me as that three-year-old child? Why are you not a fake?"

Lu Jue was not in a hurry to prove it. He stood up and untied his purse while saying, "As an official body, whether it is a private seal or an official seal, it is recorded in the book and has its own unique mark to prevent counterfeiting." He took out an embroidered bag from the purse, took it off and took it off to display an ivory seal and asked with a smile: "Do you recognize the word?" Seeing that the assassin nodded, he turned the bottom of the seal towards him.
