Chapter 775: Go and contact the gray crane

King Lu was the first of the kings to be demoted to the throne and demoted to a commoner, and even the King of Qi was arrogant and domineering, not only reprimanded, but never demoted to the title?

Think about the unspeakable His Royal Highness the Prince more than ten years ago...... Hey, who knows what awaits them, whether it is the guillotine that is about to fall, or the new splendid peace?

Even the stewards in the house thought so, and the servants and maids were naturally depressed, if they didn't have to escape at all, they were afraid that most of the people would be scattered at once.

Gui Junxi walked in the corridor, and when he saw this scene, he also saw something that mortals couldn't see with the naked eye.

"Most of them are scattered. He stopped and looked at the sky above the palace, but when he saw that the shadow of the palace was condensed and had dispersed for most of it, a sense of irritability suddenly came up, and he couldn't help coughing.

"Huh?"

Coughing violently for a while, as if he saw something, a white shadow flashed, and when he looked again, it was gone.

"Could it be a cat?" Two or three of the ladies in the house like to raise cats, and he has heard of this, and it is not strange that there are cats in the house.

Gui Junxi didn't care about this little episode, and walked forward slowly, and saw a person standing in a moon gate, where was one of the prince's small warehouses, and there were some ordinary antique calligraphy and paintings, and when he looked over, this person was putting something in his arms.

"Isn't this person Zhao Zhu?"

This is the prince's personal servant, and he is also engaged in this kind of small action, looking sneaky, is he stealing something?

"When he was in trouble, even the prince's personal servants were upset. ”

Whether it is for the palace or the palace, it is not uncommon to steal things and sell them in difficulty, most of the people's hearts are self-interested, and they did not dare before, one is the master's prestige, and the other is more profitable to be loyal to their duties.

Now it's time to stop the loss and steal naturally.

At the end of the previous dynasty, there was a big case, not only stealing porcelain bottles, calligraphy and paintings, which were buried in cinder trucks and transporting them, but even dared to steal the golden book of the concubine, which made the emperor angry at that time and killed more than 300.

Gui Junxi saw it, and he didn't see it, until now, he can't take care of big things, so why bother with small things?

The hearts of the people are scattered, and no matter how much they care, it will not help.

Slowly walked to the residence of King Lu, and saw that there were soldiers guarding the door, so he asked, "Is the king there?"

"In, in it. Although King Lu was stripped of his title, the people in the palace are still used to calling him "the prince" and "the king".

Hearing that King Lu was inside, Gui Junxi pushed the door in, and just after taking these few steps, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough again.

King Lu's whole person looked a little haggard, but there was still light in his eyes, which showed that he had not lost hope, and when he saw Gui Junxi coughing, he also asked with concern: "Sir, but he has a cold, why is he coughing so badly?"

Invited to sit down, Gui Junxi sat down slowly and said, "The minister has nothing to do." ”

"I'm no longer King Lu now, and Mr. doesn't have to be a minister anymore. King Lu smiled bitterly.

"King, now is not the time to be depressed, and the emperor's decree to cut the knighthood may not be without a turnaround. ”

Gui Junxi said, touching his sleeve, there was something hidden inside: "Moreover, although the Lu Palace, the king has not completely cut off the news from the outside world......"

"You can still go in and out to buy groceries and goods, and even the prince's soldiers have not been disarmed, which already shows the heart of the saint. ”

This is true, King Lu nodded, although the ordinary housekeepers and servants in the house can't go out, but the people who buy and sell daily necessities can still come and go, and the control is not too strict.

King Lu's power is not just these people in the palace, he has developed obscenely, and he has been rooted in the capital for several years, and it is not difficult to pass on a message and investigate a matter with this convenience.

As he was talking, an inconspicuous little man came from afar, and when he arrived, he didn't speak, knelt on the ground, and handed a note to King Lu.

"Mama Jia, Lu Da, and the owner of the Liu family's shop are all hanged?"

King Lu opened his eyes and saw that the news came suddenly, and he was also a little frightened, thinking of the ruthless methods of the acting king, his face turned a little pale.

If the prince is here, even if he is found by the acting king, he is not afraid, but now he is a little weak-hearted.

"The acting king found out so quickly, and he is really a thoughtful person!"

Gui Junxi didn't answer King Lu's words, and the room fell silent.

Sitting there, King Lu's face was cloudy, and he suddenly spoke again and asked Gui Junxi: "Sir, you said, is it a ghost for the king to fall into such a situation?"

Gui Junxi's heart moved, and he felt that there was such a possibility for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head again: "Although the acting king may have this reason to be a ghost, but think about it, Zhou Liang is an old man in the palace, and he has been with you for a long time, this time he went to Shuntian Mansion to inform, whether he succeeds or not, it is a dead end, how long has the acting king been in the capital? How can he buy such an old man in the palace?"

can make Zhou Liang risk his life to do this, either Zhou Liang is held by someone who is more terrible than death, or Zhou Liang is someone else's person from the beginning.

Judging by the current situation, the latter is more likely.

King Lu pondered for a moment, and had to admit that what Gui Junxi said was reasonable.

"That's what the gentleman said. ”

He also felt that Zhou Liang was not his own person from the beginning, and someone else had inserted him into his mansion, and only in this way could he explain Zhou Liang's practice of pulling himself down with him rather than dying.

Unless it is for the sake of others' loyalty and willingness to die, it really can't explain the logic of Zhou Liang going to Shuntianfu to tell the truth.

What if the acting king knew that he wanted to harm the acting princess?

But I don't have the ability to lay out in advance, I don't have the ability to predict the future, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I have the ability to predict the future, how much can I do?

In the final analysis, in terms of foundation, the acting king is still too shallow, and no one is available if there is a city government with scheming, and no one can use it, it is just a tiger without claws that can only roar in the air, and it can't hurt anyone.

It's not the king's hand, who's hand?

King of Shu, King of Qi?

These two people are suspicious, King Lu hates the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as he thinks that he has now been cut off his title, it is difficult to go out trapped in King Lu's mansion, and he is discussed by the people of the entire capital, and King Qi of Shu is looking at his own jokes, maybe both of them have intervened in this matter, and their teeth are chattering.

"Someone!" With King Lu's voice, the soldiers at the door immediately came in and knelt down.

"Change your clothes, take this token and contact the gray crane, and ask them to investigate the king of Shu and the king of Qi. ”

Gray Crane, this is not a person's name, it is the name of a team lurking in the capital, and it is one of the most useful combinations of King Lu, a killer in the shadows.

The soldier guarding the door is a relatively trusted person of King Lu, who knows more than his personal servant, and he was in charge of the connection about the gray crane, and asked him to contact him, and he used the right person.

As for the siege of King Lu's mansion, it is not that no one can come out, and it is not difficult for the soldiers to transport the team out while dinner.

Gui Junxi listened, a little inappropriate, opened his mouth to persuade, looked at King Lu's face, and stopped.

If you don't speak, you're acquiescing.
