Chapter 355 Deep brotherly love


    Meng Qianqian and the other two met Lu Yuan who had just left Wanhua Tower.


    When Lu Yuan saw the Yu Li on Meng Qianqian''s back, he looked at Lin Xiaoru, who was dressed as a man.


    "It was Xiaoru who saved her cousin."


    Meng Qianqian said.


    Lu Yuan bowed and bowed to Lin Xiaoru solemnly: "Thank you Miss Lin."


    Lin Xiaoru said, "You don''t have to be polite."


    Lu Yuan took Yu Li and carried it on his back.


    Meng Qianqian said to Lu Yuan, "I''ll take Xiaoru home first, and you can take your cousin home."


    Lu Yuan asked, "Is my cousin''s injury serious?"


    Meng Qianqian said, "I gave him an injection, it''s okay, just take a nap."


    Lu Yuan knew it in his mind: "I''ll give it to you."


    Meng Qianqian looked at Lin Xiaoru.


    Lin Xiaoru said, "Oh, I have no objection."


    The carriages of the two families are nearby, only one is at the east end of the street and the other is at the west end of the street.


    Meng Qianqian got on Lin Xiaoru''s carriage, while Lu Yuan got on his own carriage with Yu Li on his back.


    "Xiaoru, how did you catch up with them?"


    Lin Xiaoru said: "I am very familiar with the terrain of the capital. I am chasing the shortcuts. That person seems to be good at light skills, but he is still not as fast as me."


    "I see."


    Meng Qianqian nodded and said seriously to Lin Xiaoru, "Xiaoru, I am very grateful for saving my cousin. If such a thing happens again next time, you can report it to the official."


    Lin Xiaoru thought for a while: "Oh."


    But after Mr. Lin returned home, Mrs. Lin couldn''t help but ask, "You didn''t go to your grandfather''s house? Where is your sister?"


    "I didn''t see her."


    "She''s going to pick you up!"


    "ah?"


    Lin Xiaoru disappeared, and the family was panicked and hurriedly sent to the Imperial College to find out if the brother and sister missed it on the way.


    However, an hour passed and no one found Lin Xiaoru.


    Just when the family was anxious, Lin Xiaoru finally arrived home.


    Lin Jijiu, Mrs. Lin, and Young Master Lin were wandering around the door, with snowflakes falling on his body.


    "Dad, mom, brother."


    Lin Xiaoru said hello.


    She has changed back to the woman''s outfit, just like when she went out.


    Mrs. Lin sobbed and started crying: "Where have you been? You scared my mother to death!"


    Mr. Lin saw that his sister was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed Meng Qianqian who got off the car with her sister, and Lu Yuan who walked out of another carriage.


    The couple gave Lin Jijiu a younger man to Mrs. Lin.


    The matter is of great importance. Meng Qianqian did not hide the two elders and told her everything about Lin Xiaoru saving her cousin.


    Mrs. Lin was so shocked that she forgot to cry.


    Lu Yuan saluted Lin Jijiu deeply: "The Governor''s Office has received great kindness from the Lin family, and it is unforgettable."


    Lin Jijiu didn''t say anything and turned around and entered the mansion.


    Mrs. Lin looked back at her man, then looked at Lu Yuan, who had always maintained a bowing posture, and sighed silently.


    -


    On the way back, Meng Qianqian talked about Yu Li with Lu Yuan.


    "I didn''t pay attention just now. Now I calmed down and thought about it. It seemed that the process of saving my cousin was too smooth."


    Lu Yuan asked, "Do you mean you or Miss Lin?"


    Meng Qianqian thoughtfully said, "Everything is there. Xiaoru and I entered Wanhua Building one after another. There are many experts in Wanhua Building. Xiaoru knocked out a courtesan and moved her cousin from a wing room to a small tea room. No one was discovered during this period. I also made a lot of noise when I was looking for someone, and no one came forward to stop it."


    "Miss Yan."


    Lu Yuan said.


    A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Qianqian''s eyes: "What do you mean is she helping us secretly?"


    Lu Yuan analyzed: "Wanhualou is not a vegetarian. If a fly flies in it, it will have to be slapped a few times. If it weren''t for Mrs. Yan''s acquiescence, the action tonight would not be so smooth. As for her acquiescence, whether she was helping or making a game, it''s hard to say for the time being."


    Meng Qianqian felt that Lu Yuan was right.


    Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "You go to bed first tonight, don''t wait for me."


    Meng Qianqian asked, "Where are you going?"


    Lu Yuan asked coldly: "What does it mean? Meng Xiaojiu, I only went out once a while, and you don''t even allow this? How long has it been after the wedding? I''m so clingy?"


    "I…"


    Meng Qianqian was speechless.


    Why did she become clingy?


    She just asked one question, and he interpreted many meanings. Isn’t it his own question?


    Meng Qianqian got off the carriage angrily.


    "I''m still angry?" Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "I understand. I will try to come back as soon as possible to avoid long nights and loneliness in the room."


    Who is lonely in the room?


    Meng Qianqian bent down and grabbed a ball of snow, trying to throw it away but holding it back.


    The cold symptoms have not been cured, so I will not bully him anymore.


    Lu Yuan called the servant and carried the sleeping Yu Li into the mansion.


    Wu Ge''er asked, "Governor, where are you going?"


    Lu Yuan said: "Prime Minister."


    -


    Xun Qi wrote a letter in the study.


    Suddenly the servant came to report: "Seventh Prince, the Grand Governor wants to see you."


    Xun Qi frowned: "I don''t see you."


    "Seventh brother, do you think you didn''t die fast enough?"


    Accompanied by a casual voice, Lu Yuanrui, wearing a silver fox cloak, entered the study unrestrainedly.


    The two soldiers looked at each other: "Seventh Young Master"


    Xun Qitan said, "You retreat."


    Several people retreated, and only Lu Yuan, Xun Qi and a secret guard hidden behind the screen were left in the study.


    Lu Yuan did not treat himself as an outsider, so he pulled a chair and sat down opposite Xun Qi, pulled out a hand from the hand warmer, and threw two things to Xun Qi.


    A dagger, a secret letter.


    "Your word has not made any progress after so many years."


    This secret letter was found from Yu Li, and it was a map of the deployment of troops in the capital.


    Lu Yuan sneered: "I want to forge the charge of treason for cooperating with the Governor''s Office? Let the Fourth Brother, I guess, which country''s detailed work is that courtesy? Northern Liang? Western Regions? Northern Liang, I fought in the battle of Northern Liang. As long as I erase my military merits, the prestige I had finally accumulated among the people will disappear."


    "It''s really unstandard. Your strategy is the same as your calligraphy, and you have not made any progress in many years!"


    Xun Qi looked at Lu Yuan coldly: "Are you here to ridicule me?"


    "yes."


    Lu Yuan admitted generously, "It took you ten days and half a month to make a plan, but your opponent broke the game in less than an hour. If I were you, I would commit suicide with the dagger I gave you."


    Xun Qi said angrily: "You should keep it for yourself!"


    Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "If you don''t die, there will be someone else who dies."


    Xun Qi turned his face and said, "I''m too lazy to play the puzzle with you."


    Lu Yuan curled his lips: "Xun Qi, the situation in the prime minister is hopeless, why don''t you recognize the reality?"


    "You betrayed your adoptive father, and I hope that like you, I will become a traitor to the Prime Minister''s Mansion. Is this the only way you can make you feel that your behavior is not that despicable?"


    “Dirty?”


    Lu Yuan seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Who can compare to our adoptive father in terms of despicability? You are willing to work hard for him, but in his eyes, whether you or Xun Liu, they are all chess pieces that he can give up at any time. You don''t care about yourself, don''t you care about your sixth brother?"


    Xun Qi frowned: "What are you doing if you have nothing to do with Brother Six?"


    Lu Yuan spread his hands: "I will just sting whatever you care about. He has been detained in the Ministry of Justice for so long and has not asked you to punish him for a long time. Are you still complacent and think that he has such a trace of father-son affection for you?"


    "Oh, actually I don''t understand. He obviously gave everyone the same ecstasy soup, why are you and Luo San hopeless?"


    Xun Qi said coldly, "Don''t let go of one hammer and another!" Lu Yuan said, "Xun Liu was loyal to the prime minister. He worked for you for his adoptive father. Everything he did was for you."


    An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Xun Qi''s heart: "What exactly do you want to say?"


    Lu Yuan stood up lightly, put his hands in the handheld tube: "Xun Qi, you will save someone who is determined to use you. One day, you will regret it."


    Xun Qi looked at Lu Yuan sank into the back of Fengxue and shouted: "You traitor, you betrayed your adoptive father and betray us. You are the one who regrets you! You will pay the price for your betrayal!"


    After he finished yelling, his forehead was rushing, his chest was fluctuating violently. He was sweating all over, but his back couldn''t help but feel cold, as if something was going to happen.


    The second half of the night.


    He was awakened by a nightmare.


    As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the secret guards rushing in, not even the door was closed, so he reported to him: "Seventh Young Master, something happened to the sixth Young Master!"


    Xun Qi sat up suddenly and opened the curtain: "What happened to Brother Six?"


    The secret guard said in embarrassment: "He returned to Beijing... went directly to the Ministry of Justice... the sixth young master... he surrendered."


    Xun Qi didn''t know how he arrived at the Ministry of Justice. He even forgot to wear his outer robe. He stood at the majestic yamen, trembling all over.


    However, he couldn''t tell whether he was frozen or scared.


    "Sixth brother...my sixth brother? Where is my sixth brother! I want to see my sixth brother! He is not guilty! Don''t listen to him! He is lying!"


    Xun Qi rushed in like crazy.


    Although he had no martial arts skills, he took seven or eight strong men to capture him.


    "Seventh Young Master, offended me!"


    The headed yamen runner said panting.


    The rabbit bites people when it is anxious, and the rabbit bites people even when it is anxious!


    Xun Qi struggled, and several cuts were made on the ground on his cheek: "Let me go! I want to see Lord Xing! I want to see Lord Xing!"


    The headed yamen runner said, "Mr. Xing is being tried and cannot see you."


    Xun Qi gritted his teeth: "Is he trying my sixth brother? Is he?"


    Everyone exchanged glances and nodded slowly.


    Xun Qi roared violently in the direction of the prison: "Mr. Xing! My sixth brother is not the mastermind! He is not! Don''t trust him! He is a brainless man! He is not that capable - you judge me - you judge me -"


    "You judge me-"


    "You judge me..."


    Xun Qi''s roar gradually weakened, his voice gradually became choked, and he was stained with a little despair.


    His throat was swelling and his eyes were red.


    "You try me... don''t try my sixth brother... He doesn''t know anything except martial arts..."


    "You judge me...judgment me..."


    The yamen runners looked at him like this and turned their faces away, for nothing else, even the older men couldn''t bear it.


    But Shangshu Xing said that he would not let anyone in.


    They have no choice.


    Suddenly, a pair of steps in the snow slowly stopped in front of Xun Qi''s eyes, and the purple clothes were shrouded under the silver fox cloak, like a stream of light from the dark night.


    Xun Qi''s heart was shocked and his eyes looked up: "Lu Yuan..."


    Lu Yuan said to the yamen runners, "Let him go."


    The headed yamen runner said in embarrassment: "Grandmaster, Lord Xing has an order... He is in the trial of the case and cannot be released."


    Lu Yuan said: "So, even this governor cannot enter?"


    The yamen runners hesitated: "This..."


    Lu Yuan said lightly: "I summoned this governor to cooperate with the investigation in the middle of the night, but even Shangshu Xing could not see him. The governor returned. I want to investigate the case next time and let Shangshu Xing go to the governor''s office himself!"


    "Governor-General, please stay!"


    The yamen runner in the lead called him, "Rong Xiao will go and report."


    Go and ask your subordinates to hold Xun Qi down and go to the cell by himself.


    Not long after, Master Hu went out to greet him in person: "Grandmaster, please invite me inside!"


    Lu Yuan glanced at Xun Qi who was pressed to the ground: "He is with me."


    Master Hu: Is it really good to talk lies with such eyes open?


    "I don''t have the eyesight! Don''t you recognize the seventh prince of the Prime Minister''s Mansion?"


    Master Hu slapped at several yamen runners with great movements and little strength. "Hurry up the person!"


    Xun Qi and Lu Yuan went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.


    The long aisle was filled with blood and all kinds of unpleasant smells.


    The torture room for interrogation was at the end of the aisle. It was only a few dozen steps, but it seemed like it had completed someone''s life.


    Xun Qi asked, "Did you know it a long time ago?"


    Lu Yuan said: "It was only then that I knew. If I had known it, I would have stopped him."


    Xun Qi''s expression appeared for a moment and was complicated: "I''ll thank you for Brother Six."


    Lu Yuan said: "I''m not for Xun Liu. I just want to bring the real murderer to justice and don''t want anyone to take the blame for him."


    Master Hu who is leading the way: You two really don’t treat me as an outsider.


    "arrive."


    Master Hu stood outside the house, "Sir, the Grand Governor and Xun Qi are here."


    Shangshu Xing nodded.


    Master Hu made way for the two of them.


    In the torture room filled with the smell of rust and blood, Xing Shangshu sat solemnly on the Taishi chair.


    Opposite him, Xun Liu, who was sitting with his hands and feet handcuffed by iron chains.


    “Sixth Brother!”


    Xun Qi walked over quickly, knelt down in front of Xun Liu, holding his cracked and frostbite face, "Brother Six!"


    Xun Liu smiled happily: "Seventh brother."


    Xun Qi''s eyes turned red again.


    Xun Liu said to Shangshu Xing: "Sir Xing, can I say a few words to my seventh brother alone?"


    Shangshu Xing nodded and signaled Master Hu to put away the confessions and documents on the table.


    Xun Qi asked vigilantly: "What are those?"


    Xun Liu whispered: "Seventh brother, don''t worry."


    Xun Qi stood up and said seriously to Shangshu Xing: "Master Xing! No matter what my sixth brother said to you, those things were not done by him! Those things were me-"


    “Seventh brother!”


    Xun Liu interrupted him and spit out a mouthful of blood.


    Xun Qi was splashed all over his hands, shocking.


    He looked at the blood on his hands and changed color: "Sixth Brother!"


    Xun Liu smiled weakly: "Your clothes are dirty... The seventh brother loves clean the most... I love clean the same as the third brother..."


    The third brother he mentioned was Lu Yuan.


    Before Chen Long appeared, Lu Yuan ranked third.


    Xun Liu kept vomiting blood.


    Xun Qi knelt in front of Xun Liu and took it with his hands, but he couldn''t finish it.


    Tears filled his eyes and fell down: "Sixth brother...what are you doing while standing... Ask the Imperial Doctor... Ask the Imperial Doctor-"


    Xun Liu said weakly: "It''s useless... Seventh brother... I''m from menopause..."


    Xun Qi burst into tears: "Sixth brother, why are you so stupid..."


    Xun Liu''s breath was weak: "I''m not smart... If I can''t get it right... I''ll be troublesome... I''ve already admitted my sin... you... don''t have to... take the sin... Seventh brother... you want to... live well..."
