Lu Chen was referring to none other than Zheng Shanguo. When Lu Chen pointed it at him, Zheng Shanguo was stunned. He didn't know what Lu Chen was pointing at him, but no matter what he was doing, he was being used in front of so many people. Even if you point your finger, you will be unhappy.
"Mr. Lu, why are you pointing your finger at me?" Zheng Shanguo looked at Lu Chen with a gloomy face, and his words were quite displeased.
"It's rumored! I heard that Zheng Shangshu went to Pingkangfang half a month ago and didn't even return all night. As the Minister of Rites, can Zheng Shangshu know the crime?" Lu Chen made a nonsense statement and followed. Turning to salute Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, as the Minister of Rites, Zheng Shangshu openly stayed in Pingkangfang. How can he convince all the officials? How can he set an example for all officials? I hope your Majesty will see clearly and punish Zheng Shangshu for his crime of disregarding etiquette and law. !" Lu Chen begged Li Yuan solemnly, and his expression seemed to be well-founded, as if he had seen Zheng Shanguo go to a prostitute with his own eyes. Many people were even doubtful after seeing Lu Chen's expression. He looked directly at Zheng Shanguo with suspicion.
"Your Majesty! The old minister has been wronged!" Zheng Shanguo, who was looked at with suspicion by all the civil and military officials, quickly saluted Li Yuan while shouting "unjustly accused".
And those generals were holding back their laughter, looking at Zheng Shanguo, and thinking to themselves: "This Duke Lu is really a scammer, whoever messes with him will be in trouble!"
"My dear, is this true?" Li Yuan asked directly, not knowing whether he believed Lu Chen's words or just wanted to test Zheng Shanguo.
"Your Majesty, I have always kept myself clean. I have never been to a place like Pingkangfang! I hope your Majesty will be more careful!" Hearing Li Yuan's question, Zheng Shanguo's expression changed, and he quickly bowed and bowed again to defend himself.
"I also believe that Aiqing has never been to such a place!" Li Yuan nodded and said looking at Zheng Shanguo's expression that he was about to cry.
Although Lu Chen doesn't want to meet people from aristocratic families, Zheng Shanguo is, as he said, a clean and honest person. Regardless of his family status, Zheng Shanguo's evaluation in history books is two words that are rarely seen - "Qing officials".
"Your Majesty, you see, how far does Zheng Shangshu have to defend himself based on just a few words from a humble minister?" Lu Chen said to Li Yuan, "You censors and officials have heard about what you said, if you have no evidence or evidence, Do you know what this is called based on rumors? This is called spreading rumors!" Lu Chen turned around and said to the censor Yan Guan again, but this was obviously directed at Xiao Yu.
"Mr. Lu County, are you being too strong-minded? Now Duke Shanyang is above the court, and His Highness King Wu is also above this hall. Have you ever beaten Duke Shanyang? It seems like asking Shanyang Does Yang Gong know about it?" Xiao Yu didn't give it for free. If it was nothing, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position, so he looked at Lu Chen coldly and said.
"I just stated the harm of unfounded rumors, and I didn't say that I couldn't confront Duke Shan Yang. Why are you anxious?" Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Yu directly and said with disdain.
"Okay! In this case, does Mr. Lu dare to confront Mr. Shan Yang?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Yu looked at Lu Chen with a sneer and said in his heart: "As long as you dare to confront Mr. Shan Yang, when the time comes, As long as Duke Shanyang says it's true, let's see if I can kill you and that's it!"
"Why not!" Lu Chen glanced at Du Dejun and responded to Xiao Yu with a sneer.
"Your Majesty, I hope Duke Shanyang can confront Duke Lu County about this matter in court!" Xiao Yu didn't waste any time and saluted Li Yuan directly.
Hearing that Lu Chen had simply agreed to Xiao Yu's request for confrontation, Li Yuan still had a calm expression on the surface, but he was also a little worried in his heart. After all, Lu Chen did give Du Dejun a good deal in Pingkangfang, and even He was also brought back to Lujiazhuang. Many people in the court knew that Du Fuwei went to Lujiazhuang and spent "one hundred coins" to redeem his son. If Lu Chen confronted Du Dejun, Once Lu Chen's matter is settled, how to deal with Lu Chen's matter will be too troublesome!
Therefore, Li Yuan turned his attention to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen looked calm at this time, as if the confrontation with Du Dejun had nothing to do with him.
"Okay!" Xiao Yu said the words, and all the civil and military officials below also looked at him as the emperor. Li Yuan could only nod and agreed to the matter, but then Li Yuan looked at Du Dejun and continued, " Lord Shanyang, you must answer truthfully, if you tell any lies, I will not spare you!" After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Du Dejun deeply.
"My lord, I obey!" Du Dejun saluted Li Yuan and then came to Lu Chen.
"Mr. Lu County, we meet again!" Du Dejun looked at Lu Chen with a sneer, his eyes seemed to be full of anger, while Xiao Yu and others felt excited in their hearts after seeing Du Dejun's expression. He shouted: "Come on, Mr. Shan Yang! Kill Lu Chen!" Such a slogan!
"I haven't seen Shan Yanggong for a day, but I feel a lot better!" Lu Chen looked at Du Dejun and said with a smile.
"Mr. Shanyang, did Mr. Lu County beat you a few days ago?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but blurt out as he looked at the two of them.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Du Dejun looked at Xiao Yu directly, and then said leisurely: "No!"
As soon as Du Dejun simply said "No", he made the officials of the family who were waiting to make things worse for Lu Chen look back. At the same time, they all aimed at Xiao Yu, his eyes were very meaningful. Obviously, "Mr. Xiao, this doesn't seem to match the script you mentioned!"
It is said that the enemy of the enemy is the friend, but Xiao Yu was directly hit by Du Dejun's words as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer in the chest, and a mouthful of old blood was sprayed out, and the falcon-like eyes directly revealed He looked at Du Dejun with a look of resentment and confusion, and his meaning was very obvious, "I am helping you get rid of him and avenge you, why don't you act according to common sense?"
"Master Xiao, don't look at me like this. I will tell the truth in front of His Majesty. I was not beaten by Mr. Lu. It was just a dispute between me and Mr. Lu. It's just a competition. My skills are not as good as others. I missed and hit the Duke a few times. What kind of beating is this?" Du Dejun looked at Xiao Yu with an innocent face, then turned around and saluted Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, I'm a humble servant. This sentence is true, I hope your Majesty will understand it clearly!"
Hearing Du Dejun's words, Li Yuan, who had been sweating for Lu Chen, suddenly felt relieved. He still had a serious expression on his face, "Well! I will send someone to investigate this matter!"
"Okay! Since Shan Yanggong said it was a discussion, let's call it a discussion! But later, after King Wu went to Lujiazhuang, he asked people to go back and brought a large amount of money before taking Shanyang Gong away from Lujiazhuang. Mr. Yang was wearing coarse clothes at the time, how should Mr. Lu explain this matter?" Xiao Yu suppressed the urge to vomit blood that made Du Dejun angry, and looked at Lu Chen and asked directly like a barrage of questions.
"Oh! You're talking about this!" Lu Chenyun glanced at Xiao Yu lightly, "This is true, but the reason why Duke Shanyang wore coarse clothes was because his original clothes were damaged. The Duke didn’t have any extra clothes, so he had no choice but to find a pair of coarse clothes for Duke Shanyang to wear temporarily. Does Xiao Shangshu want Duke Shanyang to leave my Lujiazhuang naked without any suitable clothes?” At this point, , Lu Chen's voice immediately became harsh, and two cold lights shot out from his eyes as he stared at Xiao Yu.
"That's not my intention!" Xiao Yu saw that Du Dejun and Du Fuwei and his son had unhappy expressions on their faces because of Lu Chen's words, and hurriedly saluted Du Fuwei and his son, "Then Mr. Lu is blackmailing King Wu What about money?" Xiao Yu still asked Lu Chen relentlessly, hoping to find flaws in Lu Chen's words and suppress Lu Chen.
"Master Xiao, please don't slander me. When did I extort money from King Wu? Did you see it?" Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu directly with a sullen face, "You are slandering me. I can do it in front of His Majesty." You are guilty of slandering the Lord!"
"If Lord Lu hadn't extorted money from King Wu, why would King Wu give so much money to Lord Lu? You know, the amount of money that two carriages can carry is definitely not a small amount!" Xiao Yu continued directly. Asking Lu Chen, "If Mr. Lu can't give a legitimate reason, I'm afraid Mr. Lu's crime of blackmailing the prince is much more serious than my crime of slander!" Xiao Yu looked at Lu Chen and sneered directly, and even Show a determined look.
"Oh! My lord, I'm sorry!" Who knew that Lu Chen didn't answer Xiao Yu's words, but saluted and apologized to Du Fuwei, even though Du Fuwei didn't know that Lu Chen suddenly made a mistake. No matter how much medicine he sold, Du Fuwei felt quite happy to hear Lu Chen apologize in public.
"Mr. Lu, you don't have to be like this!" Du Fuwei was secretly happy, but he still smiled at Lu Chenyi, cupping his hands, and his smile was somewhat proud.
"I am apologizing to the prince because I have to tell you the agreement between you and me. I have to tell it in public!" Lu Chen said with a helpless expression. How did Du Fuwei know what agreement he had with Lu Chen? All Fu Wei could think of was what Lu Chen had reminded him, but looking at Lu Chen's expression, it was obvious that he didn't mean to say that.
"There is nothing we can do about this!" Although Du Fuwei didn't know what the "promise" Lu Chen was going to say next, Du Fuwei still cooperated with Lu Chen's performance.
"Oh! Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!" Lu Chen sighed, still looking helpless as he cupped his hands at Du Fuwei, and then took out a small bag from his arms.
