But in this situation, no news is the best news.
At least the capital is not in chaos yet. The border war has not yet broken out.
The two of them were galloping. During the break, Lin Xi said: "I don't know how well my brother is doing the investigation. No matter what, as long as the murderer of the Li people is caught, half of the matter will be clear."
Lu Yan said in a calm voice: "Maybe."
Lin Xi frowned: "I don't know which bastard did it. If I find out, I won't be able to spare him."
Originally, she was supposed to be eating snacks and sipping tea at the Duke's Mansion, but she had to run around for this matter.
If a war breaks out, the Duke's Mansion will also be affected.
At that time, she could not even run away with the bucket.
After all, if a fight breaks out, her uncle will definitely rush in front, and her brother will not be willing to leave.
Could she still be able to run away alone?
That won't work either. Even the most carefree person will still have concerns.
"My brother has been investigating for so long and has no clue. I think that person is very cunning."
Lu Yan: "..."
Every time this topic comes up, he doesn't respond.
Because she knows in her heart that there is no eternal secret, and one day she will still know.
Lin Xi glanced at him: "Why didn't you say anything? Could it be you? Do you have a guilty conscience now?"
Lu Yan: "..."
Seeing that there was finally a crack in the other person's expression, Lin Xi laughed immediately: "Okay, I won't make fun of you anymore, I know you are not you."
Lu Yan sighed deeply in his heart.
He really wanted to ask, if it were me, what would you do?
But he didn't know if he could ask this. Lin Xi was so alert. If he asked now, the other party would definitely notice.
He was full of thoughts, guessing about his weight in the other person's heart, and was rarely sure.
Because I was not sure, I felt a little anxious and uneasy for no reason.
On the one hand, I guess she cares about him more or less. On the other hand, I felt that she might not care enough.
Not only was he unsure, but he also cared about this more than he expected.
As he thought about it, he became unhappy.
Lu Yan didn't speak again for the rest of the journey.
No matter how dull Lin Xi was, he could still tell that this person was angry.
But why?
"I just made a joke, there's no need for you to feel bad about it, right?"
Lu Yan folded his hands in front of his chest: "I'm not angry with you, just think that I... am angry with myself."
Lin Xi was a little confused. This person's mind was really delicate and sensitive.
She was about to say okay, anyway, it is your own body that is angry.
Then I thought it was wrong. I was so angry that I was in bad health. The medicine I drank was from the Duke's Mansion, so it was considered her money.
Lin Xi: "Don't be angry, I apologize to you."
Lu Yan was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the other party say: It's a waste of money to be so angry.
He then turned away and ignored the other party.
Lin Xi has always been cheeky, but at least the other party walked with her this time. The coaxing was nothing more than touching her upper lip to her lower lip, so she didn't lose anything.
She would tease and coax people a few words from time to time.
Lu Yan didn't speak at first, but gradually he looked at her and said "hmm".
In the end, it finally took over.
The poisonous mushroom qi comes and goes quickly.
This adds up to less than half a day, so it takes no effort at all.
Lin Xi smiled inwardly, it would be great if his brother was so easy to coax.
——
The two people arrived in the capital all the way, and upon entering the city gate, they noticed something was wrong.
Compared with the bustling scene when I left, it looks a lot bleak now, with very few pedestrians on the road. There were more officers and soldiers coming and going than civilians.
You don't have to think twice to know that something is going on.
The two of them returned to the Duke's Mansion without stopping.
As soon as Lin Xi entered, several guards came to greet her and told her what had happened in the past few days.
Lu Wenchuan was arrested by Dali Temple the day before yesterday.
He Chirang had been checking people in Zhao Guolai. At first, he only checked people who had come to the capital in the past few months. After checking again, he changed his mind and started checking people who came to the capital five years ago.
He Chirang was confident that the assassin must have arrived recently.
But there is probably someone who is familiar with the capital, who may be a medium-sized official in the DPRK and central government.
Based on this analysis, it should be at least five years ago.
Lu Wenchuan is the adopted son of the Lu family. He came from Zhao State more than ten years ago.
Through the captured assassin and the confessions of several related persons, Dali Temple identified him as one of the ten suspects.
After a thorough investigation, he was identified.
Dali Temple took him away and interrogated him for two days, but Lu Wenchuan never vomited.
Nowadays, all members of the Lu family who hold official positions have been dismissed.
The entire Lu Mansion was surrounded and no one was allowed in or out.
Lu Wenchuan admitted that he was from the Zhao State, but only said that his tribe was destroyed by the Zhao State, and he had an sworn hatred with King Zhao and would never do anything for the other party.
He repeatedly stated that this matter has nothing to do with the Lu family.
But the more he explained, the more he became suspicious. It really felt like he had to bear all this on his own just to save others.
Now the court officials are suspecting that the Lu family is colluding with the enemy and treason behind the scenes.
Lin Xi was surprised. This was the first time she heard such a name. What's the motivation?
Could it be that he is holding on because he is full?
Turning to look at Lu Yan, he was quite surprised to see him.
The author has something to say:

Chapter 69
◎Eighty thousand silver, fifty thousand pieces of silk◎
Lu Yan was a little surprised that He Chirang found Lu Wenchuan all the way. But then I thought about it, since he could raise Lin Xi.
Of course, it cannot be underestimated.
Fortunately, he had already made arrangements, even if Lu Wenchuan was found...
In the end, it will only be found out that the Lu family and Zhao Guo are connected. Point to someone from the Lu family to do this.
As long as it has nothing to do with Lin Xi, he can make arrangements rationally. Even flaws are part of the plan.
The Mo tribe was wiped out, and some survivors moved to Zhou.
Lu Wenchuan is one of them,
He started out as a slave of the Lu family. Because he was smart and good at learning, he was sent to be the young master's book boy.
Later, he was adopted as an adopted son by the Lu family and obtained a meritorious degree.
But he is an adopted son after all, and now he can only be a fourth-rank general doctor.
The Lu family supported him, but they just let him deal with shady matters.
If something goes wrong, he can abandon his car without any hesitation to save his handsome man.
Lu Yan was able to find Lu Wenchuan and take him for his own use.
He also knew that others could find him through clues.
But this possibility is very small. The aristocrats of the Zhou Dynasty were greedy for pleasure and were destined to be officials when they were born, and few of them were smart.
But other people are other people, and He Zhiyi is He Zhiyi.
Lu Yan quickly calmed down after the initial shock.
The Lu family has been a prominent family for a century, and they have done a lot of things to make money over the years.
The eldest son of the Lu family does have contacts with ministers of Zhao State...
As long as the relationship cannot be completely dispelled, it will be confirmed that it was them behind the scenes.
If you find out Lu Wenchuan's line, you can give his imperial brother some greetings.
If you can't find out, it will be of great benefit to just sit and watch the fight between Zhou and Li.
