The next morning, at the gate of the courtyard of Murong Mansion......

Nangong Luo, the head of the Nangong family, and Murong Zun, the head of the Murong family, were chatting with each other, and the two kept pointing fingers, and the two great families, who had always been secretly hostile, now seemed to have become much more relaxed than before under the dialogue between these two respected martial arts seniors.

In recent years, the situation in the Central Plains has been turbulent, but the families of the various sects in the martial arts have united a lot, and now even the relationship between the Nangong family and the Murong family, who were once mortal enemies of each other, has improved a lot, plus the head of the Nangong family, Nangong Luo, is a well-known predecessor in the rivers and lakes, and Murong Zun, the head of the Murong family, is one of the seven heroes of today's martial arts. The two martial arts seniors both advocated harmony, and some time ago they even wanted to integrate the family through marriage. Although the marriage of Zuihou did not come to fruition, it did not hinder the wishes of these two benevolent predecessors. Now, as long as Nangong Lu is not too busy with affairs, he takes the initiative to come over to Murong Zun to discuss the matter of harmony between the two families, but because of this, Nangong Lu does not spend too much time on many trivial matters in his own family.

Today seems to be finished, and seeing that Nangong Luo is about to say goodbye.

Murong Zun still said politely: "I didn't expect Brother Nangong to have such a kind heart, and I really admire Brother Nangong's tolerance and heart." ”

"Where, but I have come here many times, Brother Murong has been so warmly welcomed, and there is also a lot of restraint in my heart, but the next time Brother Murong comes to the cold house in person, I will definitely entertain you well, haha-" Nangong Luo also responded with a smile and politeness.

Murong Zun paused. Then he said: "However, in terms of the matter of the two good families, Brother Nangong is more active than in the lower ones, it seems that it is just as rumored in the rivers and lakes." Brother Nangong really ignores the previous suspicions of the two families, and he is full of benevolence and righteousness, but as one of the seven heroes of today's martial arts, he is still inferior in many aspects, which is really ashamed......"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, in fact, what you do is not reflected in the ......," Nangong Lu continued to smile. "The previous marriage was not successful, and the dog had no way to teach and left the house. It also embarrassed your Murong family, and I have to pay a dinner gift here......"

"That's right, isn't it the same for the little girl?" Murong Zun thought of the incident when Murong Fei and Murong Ying left the house that day, which made some families unhappy. I can't help but feel some emotion in my heart. continued, "At that time, Zaihou almost fell out with Xiaonu, but fortunately, Zuihou still responded to her and Fei'er's idea and agreed that they would leave......"

"Jun'er is the same, listening to the predecessors of Master Xuankong, they seem to have gone north to find Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that they want to aspire to the world, but they are ambitious in their hearts...... "Nangong Lu naturally thought of Nangong Jun, who left home. Some sighed, "Hey. In addition to the eldest son in the family, Cheng'er, Jun'er is my favorite son. Educating my seven sons since he was a child to be a man with a heart for the common people and the world, only Jun'er can understand and insist on it best, so I educated him the most, and also sent him to Master Xuankong's predecessors to teach him the truth of how to behave in the world...... Because of that marriage, Jun'er left home, and to be honest, I really regret it......"

"Brother Nangong is like this, why not be it below...... Murong Zun responded, "But Brother Nangong, you and I should indeed be lucky, at least there are sons who are indeed promising, and it is not in vain for our hard work as fathers." ”

"Hey, it's the other sons, some of them are right, and I don't want to worry about it......" Nangong Luo continued to sigh, "There are so many chores every day, I don't have the heart to take care of them at all, this person is past the prime of life, and some things are settled......"

"Brother Nangong, don't be so pessimistic, now that the relationship between the two Nangong Murong families has improved, I believe that this major aspect has been properly resolved, and those details will not be too problematic. Murong Zun continued to comfort, "At least we hope to see that our descendants will not repeat the mistakes of our predecessors, and just live in harmony." Although there is still a long way to go, we can be thankful that this is a very good starting point......

Listening to Murong Zun's words, Nangong Luo stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Murong for your words, looking at the fact that you and I can talk face-to-face amicably today, thinking of the intrigue between the predecessors before, I think that the world today is not easy......

Murong Zun thought for a moment and continued to smile: "Haha, in fact, in the end, we still have to take care of our own son...... Because we sent our son to the predecessor of Master Xuankong, your family's Jun'er and our family's Fei'er can become brothers and friends, right...... Although the marriage was unpleasant, we still saw that the two brothers understood each other's minds, and we thought of asking the two families to communicate more, right?"

Nangong Luo thought a lot, then nodded, then looked up at the sky, and continued: "Okay, it's really a little disrespectful to disturb your mansion early this morning, there are still important things in the next family today, if there is nowhere to go, I will leave here." ”

Murong Zun also responded politely: "It's okay, Brother Nangong is too polite, if there is anything else, notify me in advance, and I will definitely take time to discuss with Brother Nangong and leave——"

So, after the two said goodbye, Nangong Luo turned around and stepped forward, preparing to leave the Murong compound. However, just when Nangong Lu was about to step out of the door, there was an extra son in his twenties at the door.

"Hello senior—" the man said politely.

Nangong Lu recognized it at a glance, so he also responded with a smile: "You are Murong Xin, the eldest son of Brother Murong, just now your father and I also mentioned you and your younger brothers......

It turned out that the person who came back from outside at this time was Murong Xin, the eldest son of the "fourth son of Murong", and after Murong Xin finished greeting him, he said to Nangong Luo: "The senior must have come to talk to his father again, right?

"Xin'er, you're back...... Murong Zun also saw his eldest son coming back from outside, and also greeted.

"Daddy. What were you and Uncle Nangong discussing just now?" Murong Xin still pretended to be obedient and asked in a very simple voice.

"It's not the same thing as before...... Murong Zun first answered casually, and then asked Murong Xin. "But then again, didn't Dad let you go out on errands, why did you come back so soon in the morning?"

Murong Xin glanced at Nangong Lu with his spare eyes, and then continued: "Dad, just now the child heard the news outside, something terrible happened. ”

"What's the matter, you have to come back early in the morning and tell me in person?" Murong Zun couldn't imagine that something big would happen in broad daylight. He also asked in a tone that didn't care too much.

Murong Xin's eyes rolled and continued: "It's really a very big thing...... The child heard that the prefect of the county government would let the master be brutally killed in the library at home yesterday......"

As soon as this remark came out. Nangong Lu and Murong Zun were shocked at the same time. Murong Zun asked in surprise: "What, is it true, someone dares to kill the imperial court officials?"

"It's true—" Murong Xin continued, "just now the child passed by the gate of the county government. Only then did they find that the people from the government had transported the bodies of the prefect and the master out. ”

For this news. Nangong Lu was also puzzled on the side, so he asked again: "Who dares to dare to kill the imperial court officials, what happened here?"

"Brother Nangong, don't you know?" Murong Zun asked rhetorically.

"I ...... What do you know?" Nangong Lu seemed to really not know anything, and asked in surprise.

"You really don't know?" Murong Zun was also a little surprised, "There is such a big thing going on in your family, but you don't know anything about Brother Nangong?"

"In the next day, I have to deal with so many affairs with my eldest son Cheng'er every day, how can I take care of the trivial matters at home?" Nangong Lu responded. "By the way, what the hell is going on?"

"Hmph. Nangong Luo really didn't know about this matter......" Murong Xin laughed secretly in his heart.

Murong Zun said solemnly: "Your third brother Nangong committed an accident outside, killed a family in the Liyou District, and raped the people's daughter, and has been sued by Huang Ji, the 'Bianliang Doctor', to the county government, and the case was tried for a day yesterday......!

Nangong Luo slapped the palm of his other hand with his hand, as if he understood something, and said seriously: "I seem to know, the third son Zhun Er told me, but he said that this matter is not serious, and said that it was the people in the market who framed the third brother...... Huang Ji, who is a 'Bianliang Doctor', actually sued the third brother in person, this matter must be not small, and Zhun Er is still hiding it from me......"

"If the seniors are not at ease, let's go back quickly to understand the situation......" Murong Xin pretended to be nervous and said, "It's not good, the murder of the prefect this time is also related to this matter-"

Murong Zun thought about it for a while, and also said: "Xin'er is right, this is not a trivial matter, Brother Nangong should go back and have a look quickly......"

Nangong Lu closed his eyes and thought about it, and he didn't know how many things his younger brother and son were hiding from him. The more Nangong Lu thought about it, the more confused he became, and then said: "Okay, I'll leave first, and I'll contact you if you have something." ”

After speaking, Nangong Luo turned around and rushed towards his door.

Murong Xin looked back at Nangong Luo's back, and said secretly in his heart: "Nangong Luo, Nangong Luo, people who can only deal with big things will really be brought down by small things...... Hmph, maybe, this incident may directly lead to infighting in the Nangong family, and the decline of the Nangong family will gradually show its feet at that time......"

With a sly look, Murong Xin turned around and went back to the house......

In the Lu Mansion, so the people are still the same as usual, Linglong is still cleaning the yard, and Lu Jing is thinking about something on the stone chair in the yard. Su Jia is still idle, while sipping tea, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, when she is a little thoughtful, she plays chess or plays the flute alone. And Xiao Tian, who was supposed to be practicing in the courtyard, was assigned a task by Lu Jing and went to the street with Tang Zhan to buy something.

Su Jia frowned and played the bamboo flute, and when she felt tired, she rested for a while. Su Jia leaned back in the chair and sighed, and then suddenly thought of the "machine dog" that Xiao Tian gave him last night, so he took it out and took a look.

To be honest, it's just a mechanism made of wood, very similar to the principle of the wooden man. But seeing that Xiao Tian was not around, Su Jia didn't know how to play with it. Due to its small size, Su Jia placed it on the stone table. I knocked on it casually, and suddenly it seemed as if it had touched some mechanism, and the mechanism dog moved twice with a "click, click". also rubbed Su Jia's arm. Su Jia realized that this was indeed as Xiao Tian said, she could have fun when she was bored, which really made Su Jia laugh a little.

"Huh-so cute, what is this?" Suddenly, Lu Jing appeared from behind, interrupting Su Jia's rare "little fun".

"Ah, it's Jingmei. I didn't say a word when I came out, it scared me......" Su Jia first replied softly.

"Hehe, Sister Su was also scared by me......" Lu Jing said with a hippie smile. "I just wanted to ask what is this, so interesting?" Lu Jing also played with the "Trap Dog" with her hand, and it felt quite fun.

"I don't know very well, it was Ah Tian who learned the "Organ Technique". Made something out of wood that resembles a mechanical wooden figure. It's just that this thing is too small. That's why Ah Tian called it a 'trap dog'......" Su Jia replied.

"What is Brother Xiao doing with this thing?" Lu Jing asked again.

"Well...... Oh, Ah Tian said that he was afraid that I would be bored, so I did it to relieve my boredom. But now it seems that there is a little bit of fun...... "Su Jia said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be so ......good to Sister Su," Lu Jing pouted, "Like a fool, that fool will only be in a daze all day long, what fun do you want me to take the initiative to find him, if he is a fool, it would be good if he had half of Brother Xiao's thoughtfulness......"

Su Jia listened. Blushing and said, "What's good, this...... It's nothing. Besides, isn't Brother Tang also quite considerate of you......"

"However, it won't be long before they are stupid, and they will go north like Nangong Jun Murong Fei, aren't they......" Lu Jing's tone became a little sad, thinking of what his father had said to him that day, Lu Jing had not told Tang Zhan about Zuihou's father's promise to marry Tang Zhan until now.

"Don't be too sad, all we can do is believe in them......" Su Jia first answered casually, and then asked, "Then again, Sister Jing, you suddenly came to me, do you want to play anything sometimes?"

Lu Jing turned over, jumped directly from Su Jia's back to the front, and said with a smile: "No-yes, I want to say that I have already thought of a way to help Brother Huang Ji just now." ”

"What, is it true?" Su Jia asked with some excitement, "What is the method that can help Brother Huang Ji solve the case in the case of collusion between the Nangong family and the prefect?"

Lu Jing continued to smile and said: "I also said before, if this case is traced back to the source and involved in the matter of Nangong's forcible occupation of public land, then they will have nothing to say." ”

"So what the hell is going to be done?" asked Su Jia again.

Lu Jing continued: "There is a method called side knocking, we don't have to do this in front of the parties, we can change our thinking and attract the attention of the Prime Minister." ”

"What is the method?" asked Su Jia as she continued.

Lu Jing continued to sell Guan Zi and said, "What about this...... Wait until Zhao Zichuan's big stupid and sister-in-law come over, keep it secret now, and then I want Sister Su to help me......"

Looking at Lu Jing's appearance, Su Jia smiled. But this is Lu Jing, and eccentricity is her character.

"Oh no, it's not good-" While Su Jia and Lu Jing were laughing and talking, Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan rushed back.

"Wow, I told you to go shopping, and you came back so soon?" Lu Jing said in surprise, "Hey, what about the things you bought?"

"Oh no, something terrible has happened—" Xiao Tian said nervously.

"What's the fuss, could it be that the county government's house has collapsed and the case can't be tried?" Lu Jing continued to tease.

"It's almost ......," Xiao Tian continued, "but it's not that the house has collapsed, it's ...... The prefect and the master were killed by unknown people last night......"

As soon as these words came out, Su Jia and Lu Jing were stunned.

"You say...... What?" Lu Jing's expression immediately exclaimed.

Tang Zhan continued to explain: "It's true, just last night, I heard that the prefect and the master died tragically at the hands of the assassins. ”

"Hmph, who told him to accept bribes from the Nangong family, this is what he deserves......" Xiao Tian said first, but he was not happy when he looked at Lu Jing's face on the side, so he asked, "Sister Jing, what's wrong with you, that damn prefect got the end he deserved, what are you worried about?"

"The prefect deserves to die, but it's not the time to die......," Lu Jing said softly.

"Huh?" Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan were a little confused.

Lu Jing continued with a serious expression: "Because after yesterday's case was tried, the prefect had already helped most of the people of the Nangong family turn over most of their bodies. If the prefect dies unexpectedly, the court minister's office will re-elect a new official to take office, if this court official is as irresponsible, he will definitely continue to try the case after the death of the prefect who has not completed the case, which will still be detrimental to the Huang Ji brothers. And I think that the Nangong family may want to destroy the evidence of bribery, and when the time comes, they will directly say that this is done by someone else, and without enough evidence, I am afraid that the people of the Nangong family will really hide from the world, and the Huang Ji brothers will not be able to escape the involvement......"

"That'...... What should I do then?" Xiao Tian was worried about Huang Ji's situation and asked nervously.

Lu Jing closed her eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "The current plan is to quickly let the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion notice the matter of Nangong using forcible occupation of public land, and completely convict Nangong Yong, so as to help Brother Huang Ji." Other words...... We're going to implement jihua as soon as possible. ”

Su Jia explained on the side: "Don't worry, Sister Jing has already thought about Jihua, and when Brother Zichuan and Sister-in-law Yuru come over, they will be able to implement it." ”

When Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan heard this, they still believed in Lu Jing's jihua very much, so they also let go of a trace of nervousness first.

"The situation is a little ossified, if these are really the people of the Nangong family, then the Huang Ji brothers will become very unfavorable...... For now, the only way to do this is to find enough evidence that Nangong used to forcibly occupy the public land before the new official takes office, and it can only be implemented in advance......" Lu Jing thought to herself, her brows looking very nervous...... (To be continued......)
