Zhu Dongshan half ass in the chair to sit down, can not hide the excitement between the eyebrows: "Xue Ke with the public opened the box, the box contains the weapon ......!"

"There is a problem with the weapon?" Lu Junzhong gaze shaded, almost instantly understand where the problem lies.

Zhu Dongshan nodded and laughed: "Not only is there a problem, but there is a big problem. Inside is a barrier knife, but it is a thin slice like a barrier knife, with the shape of a barrier knife, but without the reality of a barrier knife."

"You mean, those barrier knives are jerry-built?" The corners of Lu Junzhong's lips could not help but turn upward: "Someone used these barricade knives to embezzle military expenses?"

Zhu Dongshan wasn't surprised that Lu Junzhong would make a quick judgment.

This Minister Lu was in the darkness all day long, and knew the many devious tricks of the dynasty like the back of his hand.

"With one slash, all the war swords shatter." Zhu Dongshan said succinctly: "The forging process is certainly very poor, is the use of exercise materials, is also afraid that it is not up to par."

Lu Junzhong stroked his goatee and laughed: "Originally we beat the Ministry of War, thought we could rest for a while, this is good, their scars have not yet recovered, again to our mouth. Dongshan, this embezzlement case is far from the last Fan Wenzheng case."

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

"This matter involves more than just the Ministry of War." Lu Junzhong said calmly: "The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household are also involved, without more than a dozen officials directly involved, these weapons can not enter the Wudefang. There are more than a dozen officials directly involved, so the number implicated is not small." With a smug smile on his face: "Remember the year before last, my fiftieth birthday, many officials in the court to participate in the banquet, even if they did not participate in the birthday banquet also sent a generous gift."

Zhu Dongshan nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember. I also remember that no one from the Ministry of Public Works attended, and old man Duan only gave a couplet to your Excellency."

"Can you still remember how that couplet was written?"

"This .....!" Zhu Dongshan thought for a moment and shook his head, "His calligraphy is naturally excellent, but that couplet is mediocre, the subordinate really doesn't remember."

Lu Junzhong smiled lightly and said, "Step by step, climb the laurel tree.

Zhu Dongshan immediately said, "Your Excellency said so, the official remembered, so your Excellency always remembered."

"Even if another fifty years pass, I will not forget." Lu Junzhong said, "Duan Luan's talent in this dynasty is outstanding, his calligraphy is even known as the first person in a hundred years, calligraphy master, who can get his brush and ink, naturally is a very honorable thing." The expression became gloomy: "That couplet seems ordinary, but it is implied mockery. The sixteen doors of the Ministry of Justice, the two penalties of building ladders and riding bronze horses, there are many people in the court know, what do you think he meant by this couplet?"

Zhu Dongshan's face sank.

"Dongshan, I know your heart." Lu Junzhong slowly said: "that year to open this pair, we did not understand for a moment, but also in public chanting and reading, the officials present, although the mouth shouting, but in the heart understand what is the meaning. You are extremely smart, it is impossible not to know the meaning, just do not want to embarrass me, so we all pretend not to find."

Zhu Dongshan sighed: "Your Excellency understands, Duan Luan's pair is not only mocking your Excellency, but also mocking our entire Ministry of Justice."

"If

If it is just a mockery, I read his old age, brain confusion, not and his general opinion." Lu Junzhong sneered: "Afterwards I sent people to secretly investigate, only to learn that even that pair of words did not come from his handwriting, but had a servant in his house copied his handwriting to make, hey, he wanted to mock me, not even willing to write in his own handwriting, only to have a servant against, such a shame, how can this official forget?"

Zhu Dongshan said, "We have almost no dealings with the Ministry of Public Works, and Duan Luan must have thought that the Ministry of Public Works could not fall into our hands, so he dared to be disrespectful to your honor."

"Leaning on the old and selling the old." Lu Junzhong's face is gloomy and cold: "This thing he may forget, this official will not forget. Waiting for two years, finally waiting for the opportunity. The forging of war swords is the responsibility of the Department of Military Weapons of the Ministry of Industry, now there is such a batch of jerry-built remnants of swords, the Ministry of Industry can not escape blame, Duan Luan also can not be blamed." One hand was clenched into a fist, and his eyebrows were full of excitement.

Zhu Dongshan said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, but this matter has some oddities."

"Oh?" Lu Junzhong picked up his cup of tea, calm and relaxed: "How do you say?"

"Xue Ke Yong found that the warehouse was stocked with jerry-built remnants of knives, this is naturally true, but how dare he stir this up?" Zhu Dongshan frowned: "If you think about it, you can guess that this case does not only involve the Ministry of War, but also the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household, and it involves three government departments, and it is done quietly.

Lu Junzhong is calm and composed, lips with a smile, and did not speak.

"Although Xue Ke Yong is a soldier, but can design the Wang Chao rebel bandits in one fell swoop, it can be seen is also a smart person, and not just a reckless man who can only dance with a sword." Zhu Dongshan said softly: "I saw Xue Ke Yong with a caravan to Zhuque Street, Han Di was also in the caravan, that is to say, Xue Ke Yong found the remnants of the knife, Han Di got the news and immediately went to intercept. It is impossible for Han Di not to tell Xue Ke Yong about the stakes, and he will definitely try to convince Xue Ke Yong to conceal this matter."

"It is only natural." Lu Junzhong smiled lightly: "The embezzlement of military expenses leaked out, the first head to fall is the Treasury Department Han, how could he not stop it?"

"Since Han Di will definitely inform Xue Ke Yong of the stakes, Xue Ke Yong will naturally understand that once this matter is revealed by him, not only will he offend a group of officials in the capital, but the person behind the planning will also see him as a thorn in his side." Zhu Dongshan clear thinking, voice low: "can plan such a big case, the identity of the one behind the natural extraordinary, to deal with a small state army commander, should be easy." After a pause, only to doubt: "Xue Ke Yong would be so stupid as to run into the edge of the knife?"

"You think he's asking to be killed?"

Zhu Dongshan nodded: "He brought this caravan into the merit place, there is no way back, just now is open the box to take the knife in public, will be publicized, then there is no room for maneuvering."

"In my opinion, this Xue Ke Yong is really a man of great affection and righteousness." Lu Junzhong sighed: "He is recommending Xuan Yuan with blood!"

"Recommend Xuan Yuan with blood?" Zhu Dongshan was stunned and somewhat confused.

Lu Junzhong looked at Zhu Dongshan, took a dossier from the table and handed it over, saying, "This is a dossier that has just been transferred, you first look at what's wrong."

Zhu Dongshan took the dossier, only to see that on the cover of the dossier was written "the case of Zhu Dongpo, the chief of the Department of Military Affairs," and did not understand why Lu Junzhong would transfer this dossier, opened it and looked at it carefully, and only after a few moments did he close it and said: "Your Excellency, this dossier, my lord, is a very important one.

It has been carefully read before that he was one of the officials beheaded in the Fan Wenzheng case."

"Do you understand his biography?"

"See what I mean." Zhu Dongshan said, "He is a native of Ningling, Liang County, Yuzhou ......!" Suddenly realizing something, he said urgently, "My lord, could it be .....?"

"Xue Ke Yong is also from Ningling, Liang County." Lu Junzhong said lightly: "The two came from the same county. Zhu Dongpo was transferred to Kyoto before, in the Yu State as a long history for two years, Fan Wen Zheng when a trip to the Yu State, met Zhu Dongpo, Zhu Dongpo is very appreciated, so Fan Wen Zheng later directly Zhu Dongpo from the Yu State to the capital, and directly placed in the Ministry of War. Over the years, many people only know that Zhu Dongpo is Fan Wenzheng single-handedly promoted, but forget that this person comes from Yuzhou."

Zhu Dongshan said, "Could it be that Zhu Dongpo and Xue Ke Yong have a deep friendship?"

"Xue Ke-Yong joined the army back then, was compiled in the Yu State Battalion." Lu Junzhong slowly said: "It is said that once the Yu State Battalion sent a team of soldiers and horses to clear the bandits, Xue Kemei was just a team leader, led a dozen people under the hand, the bandits, sent dozens of officers and soldiers, do not want the bandits get the news, set up an ambush, there are many people, the officers and soldiers almost all wiped out, only Xue Kemei with four or five people under the hand to break out. They saved their lives to go back to deliver, the boss was furious, to the crime of desertion to Xue Ke-yong and others beheaded ......!"

Zhu Dongshan understood: "Xue Keyong could survive, it was Zhu Dongpo who saved his life?"

"Not bad." Lu Junzhong smiled lightly: "Zhu Dongpo was not yet the chief historian at that time, but to save Xue Keyong's life is naturally easy. Xue Ke-yong came back from the dead, grateful to Zhu Dongpo, plus they are the same county hometown, so Zhu Dongpo later on Xue Ke-yong very care, Xue Ke-yong also did not disappoint Zhu Dongpo expectations, repeated war achievements, with Zhu Dongpo step by step, Zhu Dongpo before entering the capital, has helped Xue Ke-yong in the Yu Zhou battalion stand firm, although at that time did not directly promote him as the Yu Zhou battalion commander, but without Zhu Dongpo's previous promotion, Xue Ke-yong eventually could not sit on the Yu Zhou battalion. Xue Ke-yong eventually could not sit on the position of the Yuzhou camp commander."

Zhu Dongshan came to a realization.

"The sage did not let us implicate Fan Wenzheng's case, if more people are really involved, Xue Kemei was once promoted by Zhu Dongpo, naturally can also be implicated." Lu Junzhong stroked his beard and laughed: "Fortunately, today there is Xue Kemei blood recommend Xuan Yuan good show happened. Kyoto up and down already know, Fan Wenzheng fell, is Qin Yi lit the fire, but the most critical figure is now the Ministry of War Department officer Dou mole, Dou mole is Fan Wenzheng extremely trusted subordinates, critical time but in the back of a bite Fan Wenzheng, his testimony is vital ......!"

Zhu Dongshan laughed and said: "Xue Ke-yong has naturally grasped this matter, knowing that Zhu Dongpo was implicated by Fan Wenzheng, the culprit is the very Dou Mo who ate the inside out."

"Dou is now sitting in the position of the Ministry of War and is happy, that is with the head of Zhu Dongpo's group in exchange." Lu Junzhong's gaze was sharp and he calmly said, "Xue Ke Yong had no chance to bring down Dou Mo, and now that he has easily found the opportunity, even if he can't bring Dou Mo down, he will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Ministry of War held by Dou Mo. Xue Ke-yong knows very well that he will definitely lose his career and may not even be able to save his life if he exposes this big corruption case, the court will have to investigate and deal with it, and he doesn't need to do anything later, all he has to do is to gather the courage to make this matter known to everyone."

Zhu Dongshan sighed: "Your Excellency said so, the official also understand. Xue Ke Yong to repay Zhu Dong Po's kindness back then, blood to Xuan Yuan, now it seems, really a man who knows how to repay!"
