This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 526: The Court is Shocked
Lu Yuanzhi's smile looked like a devil in Mr. Liu's eyes.

He swore that the most depressing expression he had ever seen in his life was the look of this Duke of the North!

"If you don't say it now, you won't have the chance to say it again."

Lu Yuanzhi gently patted Feng Buping's shoulder.

Feng Buping put the flute to his lips and started to play.

"I am from the Lin family!"

Mr. Liu didn't waste any words. In just six words, he got straight to the point.

Hearing his words, Lu Yuanzhi's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes became playful:

"Everyone knows that I am at odds with Lin Fu in the court. How do I know if you are trying to divert the trouble?"

Mr. Liu took a deep breath:

"All the correspondence between me and the head of the Lin family over the years has been hidden under the willow tree in the courtyard."

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Someone come."

"exist!"

"Go and do it."

"Yes!"

Without any nonsense, Feng Pei, who was standing next to Feng Buping, took the order directly.

After he left, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were still on Mr. Liu:
"Go on, tell me what I want to hear."

Mr. Liu was already somewhat numb at this time. He lowered his head, his spine was not as straight as before, and his voice was low:

"My real name is Wang Hu. I came to Beijing three years ago."

"I was ordered by Patriarch Lin to hide. One year ago, I suddenly received news that I should send someone to secretly hide in the home of Marquis Qinghe."

"The timing is right."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slightly.

A year ago, he was still the Marquis of Qinghe, but at that time he was still on the battlefield of Yongyao.

"continue."

Lu Yuanzhi crossed his arms and stared at Mr. Liu, or rather, Wang Hu.

Wang Hu's eyes were still numb:

"Later, Li Zhen and Prince Qing lost power in the court, and Hai Rui's power grew..."

Having said this, he paused and sighed:

"In addition to the Duke's Mansion, there are also spies planted in Hai Rui's mansion."

"Tsk." Lu Yuanzhi didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain?
"But the Hai Rui Mansion is heavily guarded, and the spies I planted can't even enter the inner courtyard."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled.

My uncle is a deep-minded person, so naturally he is on guard against these things.

"Until a few days ago, my master thought that entering the cabinet was inevitable, but he didn't expect Ji Xuan to show up halfway."

Wang Hu sighed softly:
"So they tried to alienate you and Ji Xuan."

"Oh?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Then you picked a good time."

In fact, at this point, Lu Yuanzhi already understood everything.

So he was actually feeling quite lucky at this moment.

If Mr. Ji had not discovered the problem with the medicinal materials at that time.

He was using medicinal herbs to treat his two sons.

If the son died because of this.

Even if he believed in Ji Gong, the people in his family would definitely have serious doubts about him.

By then, I and Mr. Ji might be separated successfully...

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhi sneered and stroked his hand:

"Lin Fu, you really played a good chess game. If it weren't for Lord Ji's broad vision, I might have really fallen into his trap."

"My Lord, you are a man from heaven, so your words are natural. I don't ask for much, I just want to die quickly."

There was even a hint of pleading in Wang Hu's eyes as he looked at Lu Yuanzhi.

Considering his current situation, his miserable appearance covered in blood really looked a bit pitiful.

"No hurry." Lu Yuanzhi shook his head and smiled:
"Although what you said is useful, I am still not sure whether it is true or not. I will reward you with death after verification."

Wang Hu has accepted his fate.

"Mr. Lu."

A voice sounded respectfully.

It was Feng Pei who just went out.

Lu Yuanzhi raised his head and asked, "Did you get it?"

"coming."

Feng Pei's voice was extremely respectful. He knelt in front of Lu Yuanzhi and presented the things with both hands.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at him lightly and took a black wooden box from his hand.

The wooden box was black all over and covered with some dirt.

It is obvious that it was just dug out temporarily.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the box carefully, then reached out and lightly pressed the button without hesitation.

"Click."

A crisp sound was heard and the box was opened.

"Tsk."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the letters in his hand, his eyes flashing with a very amusement look.

After just a quick glance at a few of them, he could already tell that once these things were verified, it would be enough to send Lin Fu to the imperial prison a hundred times!
"It seems you are quite honest."

Lu Yuanzhi raised his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face.

When Wang Hu heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, the last bit of brilliance in his eyes disappeared, and he said blankly:
"Please grant me death, my Lord."

Lu Yuanzhi shook his head again, his voice without a trace of emotion:
"You are still useful."

"what?"

Wang Hu's body suddenly trembled, and he looked at Lu Yuanzhi with despair in his eyes.

"How about you accompany me to the palace tomorrow morning?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Wang Hu clearly.

"No..." Wang Hu was about to refuse.

Then I heard the familiar sound of the flute.

"Ho ho~"

Wang Hu was in extreme pain and could not utter a sound.

I can't even beg for mercy.

After a while, Lu Yuanzhi's cold voice sounded:
"No one dares to refuse me."

Wang Hu was extremely weak: "Go, I am willing to go tomorrow!"

"That's right."

The corners of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth slowly curled up.

…………

"Have you checked it out?"

Ji Xuan sat leisurely in the yard, using the palm-leaf fan in his hand to drive away the mosquitoes in the air.

The two little babies happily looked up at the stars in the sky in his arms.

Lu Yuanzhi also sat next to him, stretched slowly, and swayed the armchair under his body.

"We have found out that the person behind this is Lin Fu."

"hehe."

Ji Xuan shook his head slightly, slowly looked up at the starry sky, and said in a faint voice:

"If we want to maximize the benefits, the person behind this cannot be Lin Fu."

"Ok?"

Lu Yuanzhi was stunned. He frowned and looked at Ji Xuan:
"I didn't understand what my godfather meant."

Ji Xuan raised his legs, with a very gentle smile on his face, and his tone was not preachy, but very patient:

"If there is a rift between you and me, who will benefit the most?"

One question directly opened up Lu Yuanzhi's mind.

He raised his head suddenly, his eyes were extremely calm:
"Second Emperor...Your Majesty!"

"Yes." Ji Xuan looked at him with appreciation:
"Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time and his foundation is not strong enough. If you want to use the technique of checks and balances, you will naturally let the ministers fight among themselves."

"So, if Lin Fu dies and you and I start a fight, Hai Rui will naturally be more loyal to you, but..."

When Ji Xuan said this, his eyes became extremely sharp:
"My direct descendants who have worked hard in the court for many years are also a force of considerable strength. If this force wants to survive, it must rely on the imperial power uncontrollably, so as to check and balance you two..."

"Hi~"

Lu Yuanzhi took a breath of cold air.

He never imagined that there would be so many twists and turns here.

"So what father meant was..." Lu Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Tomorrow in the court, Wang Hu must insist that he was ordered by Concubine Shoulin."

A small smile slowly appeared on Ji Xuan's lips. "Gao!"

Lu Yuanzhi didn't say anything and just gave a thumbs up.

Who is standing behind Concubine Lin?

Two people.

One is the second prince, and the other is Lin Fu.

Among them, the second prince's youngest son is the most suspicious.

This incident can completely serve as an excuse for the imperial power to lose its credibility.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't even have to think too much. His uncle alone could use this reason to get a lot of benefits from the second prince.

"it is good!"

……

The next day.

above the hall.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at his nose with his eyes, and his nose at his heart, and stood there quietly.

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

The eunuch shouted weakly.

The second prince also yawned and rubbed his dark circles.

Obviously, he did not sleep well last night, so he was a little absent-minded during the morning court today.

"I have this note!"

A loyal voice sounded.

Lin Fu stood up and saluted the second prince very respectfully.

Seeing him, Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and took back the step he was about to take.

He just wanted to pick the things up and talk about them, but he didn't expect that this old guy beat him to it.

Then let's see what this old guy wants to say.

"Please speak, Mr. Lin."

The second prince forced himself to cheer up, his eyes wandering over Lin Fu's body.

Lin Fu took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yuanzhi. The two looked at each other.

Turning back expressionlessly, Lin Fu raised his voice and said:
"I report that Duke Lu Yuanzhi of the Northern Kingdom did not attach importance to the border affairs, but stayed in the capital, led Pei Yinlang to arrest people on the street, and indiscriminately disrupted all the medicine shops in the capital, causing chaos, leaving the people in the city without medicine and causing chaos."

As soon as these words fell.

All the ministers were shocked and looked at Lin Fu in disbelief.

Lu Yuanzhi's behavior these days has indeed been a bit ostentatious.

But no one expected that Lin Fu would actually bring it up.

For such a small matter, not to mention the Duke of Beiguo, even ordinary officials can't be brought down...

What is this old man doing?

My uncle also frowned. He looked up at Lin Fu and observed his face carefully.

Lin Fu had a blank expression on his face and a humble body, but he still had an iron-faced and impartial look.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his brows.

He didn't expect that before he even took the initiative to attack, the other party would turn the tables on him?

"Is there such a thing?"

The second prince looked at Lu Yuanzhi in shock.

He had actually heard about this matter, but he just didn't take it seriously.

Who could have thought that his father-in-law would speak out about this matter in court.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."

The Second Prince's question was directed to his face, so Lu Yuanzhi naturally took over the conversation and stood up calmly.

"Tsk."

Hearing his words, Lin Fu's mouth corners slowly curled up.

"But why?"

The Second Prince naturally had to give face to his brother-in-law. He did not get angry on the spot. Of course, he did not dare to get angry directly at Lu Yuanzhi.

"Your Majesty, someone is plotting to murder the royal family."

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were extremely sharp: "That's why I act according to the law."

"What?!!"

The second prince was stunned. He never thought there was such a relationship? !

In fact, logically speaking, Lu Yuanzhi and the Lin family are relatives.

My wife is His Majesty's sister.

Lin Fu's daughter is also your Majesty's daughter.

Family members cannot have different opinions.

But the truth is so magical, a serious family has to fight against each other...

"What on earth is going on?!"

The second prince's eyes also became dangerous.

Although he had not been on the throne for long, he already exuded an imperial aura that was majestic without even getting angry.

At this time, a gloomy voice sounded in the hall, and for a moment no one dared to answer.

Lu Yuanzhi was not affected at all, he just said calmly:

"Your Majesty, I have been investigating the case of Imperial Concubine Lin in the harem for interfering in government affairs and assassinating members of the royal family. This is a heinous crime and her entire clan should be executed!"

???

His words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone's heart directly.

Ah? ?

The second prince's brain was throbbing.

I never expected that Lu Yuanzhi would say such explosive words.

"absurd!!!"

Lin Fu's beard fluttered with anger. He stared at Lu Yuanzhi with his eyes wide open:
"How dare you talk nonsense in the court!!"

At this moment, he did not care about Lu Yuanzhi's noble status or reputation. He gritted his teeth and pounded his chest in hatred!

"Yeah, there's no evidence, so I can't explain this to anyone!"

The second prince's eyes also became alert.

Although he didn't know the specific situation.

However, if Lu Yuanzhi falsely accused the harem in the court, it would definitely be a huge blow to him.

"His Majesty."

Lu Yuanzhi looked calm, without even glancing at Lin Fu, and said in a calm voice:

"I have been investigating this case for the past two days. Now the truth has been revealed, with witnesses and evidence."

hiss~
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of almost everyone in the court changed.

My uncle couldn't stop shaking all over.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

Analyzing the current situation bit by bit.

Trying to hold back the urge to laugh, my uncle narrowed his eyes.

He knows his nephew best.

If the matter had not been settled, he would never have launched a direct attack in the court.

Now that it has come to this, it must be as he said, that he has obtained substantial evidence.

So if that's the case...

This is a great thing!
At least for him, it is definitely a great thing!

“Is it really… like this?!”

The Second Prince almost fainted because he couldn't sit properly. He tried to take a deep breath and stared at Lu Yuanzhi closely:

"What exactly happened, Lord Lu, please tell me in detail."

Now, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yuanzhi.

The second prince's doubts are also everyone's doubts.

So everyone wants to know what shocking case has happened as a result of Pei Yinlang's large-scale actions in the past two days.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't waste any words, looked directly at the Second Prince, and said seriously:
"A few days ago, I returned home and wanted to ask Lord Ji to wash my child's meridians and nourish his blood vessels to strengthen his martial arts foundation..."

He didn't say much, and in just a few words he told what happened that day.

"Hi~"

I heard that someone used that disgusting insect to harm the Duke of Beiguo's son.

In the entire court, everyone with a bit of common sense gasped and looked towards Lin Fu in the crowd at the same time.

So many eyes were focused on Lin Fu that he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

But after hesitating for a long time, nothing came out.

He never expected that Wang Hu would actually... be exposed!!
Yes, it was only after this incident that he realized that the hidden hand he had planted had been exposed by Lu Yuanzhi...
