This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 369 Gloating over misfortune
Lu Ziyu is dead.

Unable to withstand the torture of the imperial edict, he hanged himself in prison.

Looking at Lu Ziyu's body, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes did not waver at all.

"The boss has done everything."

Li Jin's eyes flashed and he respectfully came to Lu Yuanzhi's side.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slowly:
"Heaven knows this and earth knows it. You know it and I know it."

"Yes."

Li Jin nodded seriously.

Lu Yuanzhi slowly walked out of the imperial prison.

The sunshine outside is a bit dazzling.

But Lu Yuanzhi's heart was still calm.

Killing Lu Ziyu did not leave any traces in his heart.

I don’t know since when, I have become such an annoying person.

Lu Yuanzhi laughed to himself.

When he walked out of Da Peiyinlang's gate, he looked at every common person on the street and saw the kind eyes in his own eyes.

An inexplicable emotion emerged in my heart.

Maybe my mission...is not in the government?
After Lu Yuanzhi drove his horse to the house, he came to Bai Qingying's yard.

However, as soon as I entered the yard, I saw an empty house with people leaving.

"master."

At this time, Chunhua pursed her lips and came to Lu Yuanzhi's side.

"Where's Miss Bai?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the empty yard with a hint of undetectable disappointment in his expression.

"Miss Bai left in the morning, saying she was going back to the mountain gate."

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, a feeling of emptiness arose in his heart:

"Did she... say anything before she left?"

When Chunhua heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, there was an inexplicable emotion in her voice:

"I left you a letter, do you want to read it?"

"What about the letter?"

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he quickly looked towards Chunhua.

Chunhua took out an envelope sealed with wax paint from her arms.

Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath and took the envelope.

Open slowly.

After unfolding the paper, I saw only one sentence.

"I gave birth to you before I gave birth to you, but I gave birth to you and my concubine is already old. We met at the wrong time, and we are looking for dawn in a confused way."

On the envelope, there are a few water marks that have not yet dried.

Seeing this sentence, Lu Yuanzhi's heart suddenly twitched for some reason.

He stood there for a long time.

It didn't move for a long time.

The spring breeze blows, and the sound of spring flowers sounds:

"Shall we prepare dinner for you?"

Lu Yuanzhi suddenly woke up. He glanced at Chunhua, with a wry smile in his eyes:
"Row."

After saying that, he put the envelope in his hand into his scripture space.

It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

He may never be able to repay what he owes Bai Qingying in this life.

But...he already has someone else in his heart.

He still remembered what he had promised to the princess.

……

The next day.

Lu Yuanzhi's figure appeared in the court.

Today, he came to the morning court with Ji Xuan.

Seeing his figure, the uncle's eyes were not disturbed. He just glanced at Ji Xuan coldly and then returned to his place to stand.

As for Ji Xuan, he didn't care about his uncle's gaze, and his eyes remained calm.

Just like the habit he has developed in the court over the years, he stood in the court with half-squinted eyes.

"Something's going to happen."

The little eunuch's voice rang.

Upon hearing this voice, neither Lu Yuanzhi nor Ji Xuan made any move.

In fact, everyone felt something vaguely in their hearts regarding Lu Yuanzhi's sudden appearance in the court.

But seeing that these two people were not in a hurry, their eyes were somewhat scrutinized.

"Your Majesty, the ten days have come, but I don't know what happened to Pei Yinlang Yunpei Lu Yuanzhi's pursuit of the thief?"

It seemed that these two people were not in a hurry, but someone had already jumped out.

It was Ling Yunhou who was madly slapped in the face by Ji Xuan in the court.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked over.

When Jianhong heard Ling Yunhou's words, his eyes slowly moved to Lu Yuanzhi's face:

"Uncle Lu County, how is the tracking of the thief going?"

Lu Yuanzhi's face was expressionless. He stood up slowly, bowed to Jianhong and said:
"Your Majesty, the thief has been tracked down a long time ago, and the whereabouts of the Tianwei Heart lost in the palace were also found five days ago, but..."

Having said this, Lu Yuanzhi paused for a moment, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Hearing his words, Jianhong's eyes flashed sharply, and then he looked at Lu Yuanzhi with his sharp eyes without blinking:
"Just what?!"

There was a bit of urgency in the voice.

Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath:

"I just tortured the thief in prison for several days, but the thief refused to say a word."

"Ok?"

Jianhong's brows wrinkled.

Tortured the thief for several days?

The thief refused to say a word? ?
In his heart, as long as he can get Tianwei's heart back to him, it doesn't matter who the thief is, it's just to destroy his whole family.

"Who is the thief?"

Jianhong looked at Lu Yuanzhi and asked.

Hearing this, everyone felt a sense of curiosity.

No one thought that Lu Yuanzhi actually tracked down the thief.

And also found the lost thing.

Although many people do not know what the Heart of Tianwei does and what use it is to His Majesty Jianhong, it does not prevent them from marveling at Lu Yuanzhi's efficiency.

Lu Yuanzhi straightened up.

He glanced at Ling Yunhou, and there was a hint of malicious intent in his eyes.

Ling Yunhou was naturally looking at him. After seeing his look, a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the thief is none other than Lu Ziyu, who stole the imperial mausoleum a few days ago."

As soon as Lu Yuanzhi said these words, everyone was stunned.

Jianhong didn't react for a while.

Ling Yunhou even mocked directly:
"Lu Yunpei, it's not a lie you made up casually because you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to find the thief, right?? Then Lu Ziyu stole the imperial tomb, so why did he become a thief who stole the imperial palace again??"

As soon as these words came out, the main hall instantly started talking.

Although Ling Yunhou's words were a little rude, his words were rough and rational.

What he said still reminded the thoughts of the officials in the palace.

In an instant, everyone looked at Lu Yuanzhi with suspicious eyes.

And the uncle is also a member of the crowd.

At this time, the uncle looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a hint of eagerness.

He had even prepared that if Lu Yuanzhi failed to find the culprit today, he would be executed by His Majesty Qiu Hou and beheaded. He would risk being exposed and be cast aside by the ministers to stand up and intercede for his nephew...

Unexpectedly, this nephew actually wanted to jump into the fire pit. The uncle's hands were held together tightly, and his nails were embedded in his palms.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard Ling Yunhou's words, he smiled calmly. He cleared his throat, looked at Jianhong and bowed down and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, Lu Ziyu stole the imperial mausoleum with the intention of using King Yu's body to refine the elixir with the Chi Yan lotus in my hand to break the barrier."

"However, this man is extremely cunning. After finding the body of King Yu from the mustard treasures on his body, unexpectedly, his subordinates even found the heart of Tianwei..."

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were calm.

Although there is nothing wrong with what he said, if you comb it carefully, there are some loopholes.

Jianhong was naturally an extremely shrewd person. He subconsciously squinted his eyes, looked at Lu Yuanzhi and asked:

"Uncle Lu County, if I remember correctly, it was only after Lu Ziyu was arrested and imprisoned by you that you broke the news about the disappearance of Tianwei Heart in the Imperial Palace, right?"

In one sentence, the question got to the point.

There is even a sense of coercion.

Regardless of whether what Lu Yuanzhi just said is true or false.

Shan was able to catch the thief and find out that he had indeed stolen Tianwei's heart.

But so much time has passed, why didn’t you report the information? ?
He had to wait until the palace general heard the news that Tianwei's heart had been stolen, and he only revealed the news on the last day of the imperial order...

So what exactly do you, Lu Yuanzhi, have in mind? ?
When Ling Yunhou heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a sarcastic smile, as if he was watching some good show.

In his eyes, Lu Yuanzhi was clearly stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

However, Lu Yuanzhi remained calm and calm, and said slowly:

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I found out the heart of Tianwei in Lu Ziyu's Mustard Seed Dimension on the same day after he was arrested and imprisoned."

Lu Yuanzhi admitted frankly, he bowed down calmly and said:
"It's not that I didn't report what I knew, but I was afraid of alerting others."

"Why did you just alert the enemy?"

Ling Yunhou's expression was extremely dissatisfied at this time, and he loudly reprimanded Lu Yuanzhi:
"After hiding it for so long without reporting it, I think you clearly want to take Tianwei's heart for yourself!"

In one sentence, Lu Yuanzhi's ambition was exposed.

The ministers subconsciously became angry.

"Uncle Lu, Lord Ling Yun is right. Even if Lu Ziyu really stole Tianwei's heart, why didn't you report it after all this time?"

"Yes, is it true that you, Lu Yuanzhi, are disrespectful as Ling Yunhou said?"

"..."

There were countless voices of conquest in the main hall.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't even blink at these voices of conquest.

He was already invincible before coming to the main hall.

Tianwei's heart has been with him for a long time.

The news of the theft only broke out a few days after Lu Ziyu was arrested.

This proves that no one in the palace knows that Tianwei's heart has been stolen these days.

Otherwise, the news would have broken out long ago.

Peiyinlang Yamen had already gone to catch the thief.

There is only one explanation for the lack of news for so long, and that is that no one noticed that Tianwei Heart was missing.

Therefore, it is most reasonable to place this crime on the dead Lu Ziyu.

But now, things are developing here, just as he wants.

Everyone, including Jianhong, only said that he was ambitious, and no one doubted whether Lu Ziyu had stolen Tianwei's heart.

This just proves what I think.

"hehe."

Lu Yuanzhi suddenly laughed amidst the anger of the ministers. The sound was not loud, but everyone in the entire hall heard it clearly.

"why are you laughing??"

At this time, Ling Yunhou stared at Lu Yuanzhi with wide eyes.

Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath and looked straight at Ling Yunhou:

"Ling Yunhou, I just said to scare the snake away, but you acted so anxious without explaining the reason... Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

These words made Ling Yunhou's face immediately turn red. His eyes widened even more. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said in an extremely passionate voice:
"What do you mean you little thief?!!"

"What do I mean? I think Ling Yunhou should know it best, right?"

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Ling Yunhou with a smile.

"you!!"

Ling Yunhou was too angry to say anything at this time.

"okay!"

Jianhong saw that the main hall was about to turn into a vegetable market and interrupted everyone impatiently.

The hall immediately fell silent.

Jianhong's eyes stayed on Lu Yuanzhi and asked in a neutral tone:
"Uncle Lu County, what do you mean when you say you are afraid of alerting others?"

Lu Yuanzhi slowly stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Lu Ziyu is just a Taoist from Wu Qishan, and he is just an abandoned disciple in the Taoist sect. How can he be so capable that he can sneak into the imperial mausoleum silently and steal the thief by himself? Take the body of King Yu and sneak into the palace to steal Tianwei’s heart?”

"Even if he has great abilities, is Dayong Palace just a piece of paper?"

In a word.

The sound of pin drop could be heard immediately in the main hall.

Everyone held their breath.

Even the babbling Ling Yunhou stopped talking at this time.

Jianhong's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a great majesty emanated from him:

"You mean...there's an insider?"

These words were extremely cold.

In the main hall, everyone was silent.

Hearing Jianhong's words.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled slightly in his heart.

This is the effect he wants.

When things got here, everything was happening according to the script he had envisioned.

In fact, Lu Ziyu had never even seen Tianwei's heart from beginning to end.

The only thing he participated in was stealing the body of King Yu, which was only possible because the Taoists had a method that could use spiritual consciousness to detect the entrance to King Yu's tomb.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Under his few words, everyone was convinced that Lu Ziyu had secretly stolen Tianwei's heart.

This could also become a sharp sword in Lu Yuanzhi's hands.

Before he could speak, Jianhong stood up from the throne with a "soaring" sound.

He stared at Lu Yuanzhi with burning eyes:
"Did Lu Ziyu say anything?"

"Bah~bah~bah~"

As Jianhong asked, everyone's hearts began to beat subconsciously.

He was afraid of hearing his name from Lu Yuanzhi.

If he was really bitten by Lu Yuanzhi, it would be like yellow mud falling off his crotch, and it would be shit if it wasn't shit.

Lu Yuanzhi sighed deeply, shook his head slowly and said:

"Your Majesty, after such a long period of imprisonment, Lu Ziyu couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide."

Call ~
After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"What?!!"

Jianhong was furious at this time.

"but……"

Lu Yuanzhi spoke slowly and raised his head to look at Jianhong.

As he said "No", everyone's hearts began to beat loudly again.

What's more, he was already thinking secretly whether he had ever offended Lu Yuanzhi.

"Say!"

Jianhong's eyes were cold.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Ling Yunhou, with deep suspicion on his face:

"When I was speaking just now, Marquis Ling Yun acted so nervous. I have reason to suspect that this matter has nothing to do with Marquis Ling Yun."

…………

Everyone fell silent.

With gloating in their eyes, they all looked towards Ling Yunhou, who was astonished.
