Chapter 16
The commander of the Palace Front Division, Lu Jiuzheng, was just a cannon fodder who died within one chapter of his appearance in the original work, and had no sense of existence. But judging from the memory of the original owner, he was actually very powerful, otherwise he would not have become the emperor's confidant in his early thirties and assumed the absolutely important position of commander in front of the palace.
It is said that he was an orphan picked up by the emperor when he was conquering the world. Because of his excellent martial arts talent, he was trained by the emperor to become a master in the palace. Later, the emperor specially appointed a commander in charge of the palace. He needed someone who was capable and loyal to him, had no family members, and would not be easily caught in his weaknesses. Lu Jiuzheng met all the conditions, so the emperor made him the commander. The position was given to him.
For so many years, Lu Jiuzheng has been alone, walking alone, like an invulnerable steel plate. There were many people in the court who hated him, but no one could do anything about him. Therefore, the emperor trusted him very much and gave him great power.
For such a person, I don’t know what method Cui Ang used to bring him down...
Because this part of the content was not written in detail in the original work, Xiao Ji only knew that Lu Jiuzheng’s accident seemed to be related to a mother and son, but what were the names of the mother and son, what was their relationship with Lu Jiuzheng, and how Cui Ang used them to make Lu Jiuzheng lose Xiao Ji has no way of knowing for the time being whether Holy Pet even lost his life.
However, as long as nothing happens to Lu Jiuzheng, Cui Ang will not be able to take the throne, so Xiao Ji decided to start with Lu Jiuzheng first and cut off the Qingyun Road that Cui Ang was about to embark on.
With this in mind, he took out the silver needle that Ye Fei found from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Jiuzheng: "This is the silver needle that my attendant found in the eye of the horse that was in trouble. I wonder if Commander Lu has ever done that before." Have you seen anyone use similar hidden weapons?"
Lu Jiuzheng took it and identified it, then said concisely and concisely: "No, but I will order someone to investigate carefully."
He is a man with a resolute appearance, a tall and strong build, and a long and ferocious scar across the eyebrow bone of his right eye. He looks very difficult to mess with. Because he has been wandering among the bloody blades all year round, his whole person looks very cold and sharp, like an evil star that can stop a child from crying at night.
He does have the nickname "Lu Yanluo".
The original owner didn't like Lu Jiuzheng's overly ruthless style, and he wasn't very familiar with him. He could only be described as an acquaintance. However, Xiao Ji liked this big brother because the scar on his face reminded him of his previous life. uncle.
His uncle was also a man who didn't look very kind, he could even be called a gangster, and he also had a scar on his face. But his uncle's scar was left when he was young to save others.
Because of his fierce appearance and scars, his uncle is often misunderstood as a gangster, but in fact he is just a sentimental and emotional housewife.
Of course, Lu Jiuzheng should be a truly ruthless person, but as the saying goes, the enemy of his enemy is his friend. As long as he can get rid of that idiot Cui Ang, Xiao Ji is happy to join forces with Lu Jiuzheng.
In fact, if Cui Ang's biological father hadn't been wronged, he would have wanted to expose Cui Ang's life experience directly and send him to reunite with his father.
——Yes, although Cui Ang is the son of a guilty minister and should be executed according to law, the case of his biological father was indeed an unjust case. In the original work, after Cui Ang became the commander of the palace, he quickly used his position to find out the truth of the year and overturned the case for his father. He also found his true identity and was able to be with Cui Lingyan openly. But at that time, Cui Lingyan had already married the original owner because of the incident of falling into the water, so the two had to continue to communicate secretly.
Although Xiao Ji considers himself not a good person, he still has a basic moral bottom line. He couldn't do it, knowing that Cui Ang's father and more than a dozen members of his family died unjustly, and still using this matter to set up a trap. After all, every wrongdoer has his own debtor.
In addition, if this case is uncovered, Cui Ang, who has been collecting evidence to overturn his father's case, will definitely fight to the death to seek justice. At that time, it is very likely that he will show his face in front of the emperor in advance, and the whole matter will become more complicated.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, Xiao Ji will not take the initiative to file this case, lest he accidentally fails to achieve his goal and instead helps Cui Ang.
"Then I'll leave it to Commander Lu." After listening to Lu Jiuzheng's words, Xiao Ji didn't say much, but just mentioned as if he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I heard Miss Cui San said about her second brother. , that is, Cui Ang, the second son of the Duke of Qing, is very good at using concealed weapons, and he happens to be serving in the Palace Front Department. Commander Lu can ask him, maybe he will have seen him."
At this time, Cui Ang had just entered the Dianqian Division and had not yet reached the upper echelons. Lu Jiuzheng had some impression of him but not much. He was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still responded: "Yes."
Xiao Ji handed over to him and added in a grateful tone: "Originally, I wanted to ask him in person, but Cui Erlang has a withdrawn personality, and he misunderstood me because he valued Cui San as his younger sister. Therefore, I can only help you." Commander Lu is here."
"Cui Erlang is not on good terms with you? Is it because of that girl from the Cui family?" The emperor who was sitting on top couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this, "Why did your elder brother see you bullying that girl from the Cui family?"
"Brother Imperial, Miss Cui San is my cousin. I grew up with her and have known her for many years. How could I bully her?" Xiao Ji said as if he didn't care, "As for Cui Erlang, maybe he values it too much. I’m a younger sister, I’m afraid she will be deceived at such a young age.”
The emperor felt strange: "This is rare. With my family's background and appearance like Da Zhuang, there are people who don't want my sister to get close to you, and are worried that she will be deceived by you..."
"Brother, please stop laughing at me. My brother is not gold, so how can he be loved by everyone?"
After a few seemingly ordinary conversations, Xiao Ji called it a day and took his leave.
Lu Jiuzheng is a person with a keen nature and a careful mind. At this time, he may not take his words to heart, but as long as he goes to Cui Ang, as long as Cui Ang shows a slight flaw in front of him, he will definitely catch it. Investigate this flaw.
By the time……
Oh, he wanted to see if Cui Ang, who had not stepped on Lu Jiuzheng and had no one behind him to support him, could escape from Lu Jiuzheng!
*
Lu Jiuzheng was worthy of being the commander in chief of the palace. The people he sent out found the original owner of the dog in less than a day. It's just that the man "stumbled and fell off the cliff" as early as the day of the incident. Even if his body was found, there would be no evidence of his death.
Xiao Ji had long known that Cui Ang was not a good person, but the moment he learned the news, he was shocked by Cui Ang's meticulous, ruthless and bottomless methods.
A complete outlaw. This is it.
In the next few days, there was no effective information from Lu Jiuzheng, but Xiao Ji was not in a hurry, because on this day, he found the opportunity to take action against Cui Ang first.
This matter starts with Concubine Sun. Since the news of her being attacked and injured spread, many people have come to visit her. Among them was Cui Lingyan's mother, Princess Ge of Qingguo.
Ge Shi originally planned to come to Tai Concubine Sun to discuss her daughter's marriage with Xiao Ji after she returned home. When she came to see her that day, she saw that although Tai Fei Sun was slightly injured, her life was not in danger and she was well. She couldn't help but feel very happy - -Fortunately, God bless me and nothing happened to my cousin. Otherwise, if she had any shortcomings, wouldn't it delay the marriage of her two children?
Mrs. Ge and Concubine Sun had a very good relationship. She thought so in her heart, but she couldn't help but express it in her mouth.
Xiao Ji was nearby at the time. Hearing the meaning behind her words, his mind suddenly moved and he felt like he had caught something.
Just at this time, Ge Shi turned to look at him again, smiled and said kindly: "I heard from Yan'er that she made Brother Ji angry a few days ago. That girl is usually spoiled by me and the Duke. She is bad, her temper is indeed a bit squeamish, but she is not bad-hearted, and she also values the relationship with Brother Ji. After returning home, she burst into tears and said she regretted it. I wonder if Brother Ji can watch it. In the name of my aunt, do you forgive her this time?"
Xiao Ji looked at her probing eyes, thinking about the meaning of her words, and finally realized that Cui Ang's sudden madness was probably related to the day he cried mercilessly to Cui Lingyan and broke off the relationship with her.
Although according to normal logic, Cui Ang should be happy that his "number one love rival" took the initiative to withdraw. But the brain circuitry of the love brain is different from that of normal people. That guy might think: How dare you make my woman cry for you, I will kill you.
...Damn, when you think about it, it’s completely possible!
However, the reason for killing Mrs. Sun just to vent Cui Lingyan's anger seems not enough...
Xiao Ji was thinking about it when Concubine Sun on the bed spoke: "Ji'er, your aunt is talking to you, why don't you respond?"
"...I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something." Xiao Ji came back to his senses and looked at Ge Shi, imitating the original owner's usual behavior and politely said to her, "Please forgive me, aunt."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Ge's mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became. She has always been kind to Xiao Ji, and now she couldn't help but speak more frankly, "It's just Brother Ji, my aunt wants to ask you, what do you think of our Lingyan? If you As I said when I was young, if you want to marry her, why don't our two families pick a good day early and settle your marriage? Look, you are eighteen and Yan'er is sixteen. Now, you are not young anymore..."
Concubine Sun was still upset about the death of Grandma Liu, but when she heard these words, she immediately became energetic: "I think it will work. If we settle down and get married sooner, I can also have my grandson sooner."
As she spoke, the smile of the past finally appeared on her face, and the eyes she looked at Xiao Ji were filled with joy and expectation, "Yan'er, your childhood sweetheart, I watched her grow up. If it weren't for your aunt Previously, I was reluctant to let her get married too early, and my mother-in-law had already invited people to come to propose marriage. It is rare that your aunt actually took the initiative to relent today, why don't you agree quickly? "
Xiao Ji: "..."
Xiao Ji looked at Baian Niang and then at Baian Aunt, and finally figured out the connection: the reason why Cui Ang suddenly went crazy must be because Ge Shi suddenly decided to get engaged to Cui Lingyan, and he found out about it. He could not stop Ge from doing this, so he could only turn his attention to Mrs. Sun.
Because as long as Concubine Sun dies, Prince Duan's palace will have to observe filial piety, and Ge's plan will naturally not come true.
... Damn, you are a bully who only picks on the old, weak, women and children! If he dared to come directly to his "love rival", he would still be able to look down upon him!
Xiao Ji cursed with contempt in his heart, and no longer tried to hide it on his face. He straightened his face and said calmly: "It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is that my aunt is sure that your daughter is willing to marry me? As far as I know , Miss Cui San already has someone she really likes. And that person is in your house. "
"W-What did you say??!!"
These words were no less than a bolt from the blue. Not only the unprepared Ge family, but also Concubine Sun was shocked.
