An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Since Zhao said so, Zheng Rongqing did not hide it and sat down calmly.

Asked, "Master Jiu, since it was a conspiracy, why didn't you kill them all together? Why did you let them go after all the twists and turns?"

Perhaps guessing what he would ask, Zhao Jue drank tea leisurely and said with a smile, "You still don't understand. What can a few businessmen do? It's nothing more than a little money!"

"Killing those officials and jianghu people is the vastness of heaven. Killing those businessmen is just a small matter and they are implicated. In this way, how can we stop the world from talking nonsense?"

"It seems real only when there is a slack and a looseness. The truth and the false are mixed together, and the world has to believe it even if they don't believe it!"

Zheng Rongqing suddenly realized Wu, flattering, "Your Excellency is really shrewd! It's foolproof!"

"Hahaha, I don't like people who flatter me."

"This is my true feelings."

Zhao stood up and patted his shoulder, smiling, "Don't worry, there will be a time for you to show your style. So, go to the street corner and put up a notice board to post these things."

"You stay there and explain, highlighting the emperor's benevolence, our difficulties and those people's cruelty and audacity."

"Go."

"Yes!" Zheng Rongqing replied and led a few small flags out of Zhaoyu.

Zhao returned to his duty room and waited for Lu Wenyu to come. Sure enough, it didn't take long before the door was pushed open and a big red python robe walked in.

Who else but Lu Wenyu?

"Muzhi, you did a good job on this matter. You handled it properly and in a good way without leaving any room for criticism."

"Good, all good!"

After serving Lu Wenyu a cup of tea, Zhao smiled noncommittally and asked, "When will he be killed? I'm afraid that something will happen if I delay..."

Lu Wenyu nodded, "That's what I meant too. I came here today for the confession. I must go to the palace to see the emperor before I can make a decision."

Knowing that this is a necessary procedure, after all, it was the emperor who asked him to investigate, and he had to let the emperor know no matter what. So he asked someone to sort out the confession, and the two of them drank tea and waited.

About a quarter of an hour later, Captain Jiang came in with the sorted confession, "Lord Lu, Lord Zhao, this is the sorted confession, please take a look."

With his superiors around, it was naturally not Zhao's turn to speak, "Just leave it there, the brothers have been tired all day, except for those who are on duty, let's all rest..."

"Yes!" Captain Jiang took the order and went out.

When there were only two people left, Lu Wenyu asked in a low voice, "The list given by the prince consort?"

"Yes."

"Is this kid willing to lower himself? Besides, what's the use of him? Can he be given a thousand households?" Lu Wenyu didn't know the inside story and asked doubtfully.

He didn't answer him immediately. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "If you are a person, you can be useful. At worst, you can..."

The two smiled at each other, knowing the meaning of the words. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world?

In front of the Qingxuan Palace, Eunuch Feng stopped Lu Wenyu, so he said, "Lord Lu, the emperor is ill. If there is nothing important, don't disturb the emperor to rest..."

Although Lu Wenyu knew that Eunuch Feng was pretending, he still showed a sad expression, "Eunuch Feng, when did this happen? The emperor..."

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

"I said something wrong." Lu Wenyu quickly shut up. He had to pretend to be real.

After hesitating for a while, he said helplessly, "I'll have to trouble Eunuch Feng to inform you. I have food and grass for the border..."

After that, he gave Eunuch Feng a subtle look, and Eunuch Feng understood and nodded and walked in. After a moment, he walked back quickly and said with a smile, "Master Lu, please go in, don't delay!"

"Okay." Lu Wenyu lowered his head and followed Eunuch Feng in.

Yuan Zhuo on the altar stroked his beard and looked at the petition. He could hardly stop smiling when he saw the end. He walked down the altar with the help of the steps, and Eunuch Feng hurried to help him.

"My dear friend, I am just pretending to be sick, not really sick. Look at how anxious and flustered you are..."

Eunuch Feng smiled happily and said, "The master is a dragon, of course he will be free from disease and disaster, and will live forever!"

"Good servant!" Yuan Zhuo took the table with the complaint paper, sat down and tapped the confession lightly, and asked, "Are these all interrogated by that kid?"

"Yes, I didn't participate. The arrest, interrogation and conviction were all handled by Mu Zhi!" Lu Wenyu did not take credit and answered truthfully.

The main reason was that the matter had not been determined yet, and he did not want to take responsibility.

Yuan Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and praised, "What a talent, what a talent!"

He took a sip of the teacup, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "This matter was handled well, with reason and evidence, and the tension and relaxation were appropriate. In my opinion, there is no problem, what do you think, dear friend Wenyu?"

The emperor said so, how dare they, a close minister and a eunuch, have any other opinions? So they all said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise."

"In that case, let's cut the Gordian knot and end it early. Just do as he says. Behead him at the street corner in three days. I will go to see it then." Yuan Zhuo said with interest while drinking tea.

He also wanted to use this incident to see the situation of the people and the opinions of the people in the world. Of course, the most curious thing is to see what the boy wants to do.

"Your Majesty, don't do that!"

"Master, think about it!"

The two of them persuaded at the same time. The emperor's travel is not a trivial matter. In addition, he has just experienced an assassination, so he can't take risks again!

Yuan Zhuo waved his hand and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I will disguise myself as a businessman and will not travel with royal standards. You will leave after seeing it. Don't be nervous!"

"Is it my kingdom, my people? I can't even go and see them?"

Having said this, what else can they say? The two can only look at each other and make preparations early. Fortunately, the location has been determined, and they can both relax a lot.

The two people who walked out of Qingxuan Palace looked unhappy. Eunuch Feng finally smiled and said, "We will follow the emperor, and then we will ask Chen Jing to assist. The things outside the palace will be entrusted to Lord Lu. And, this matter can only be done by the two of us..."

"Don't worry, God knows, you know, and I know!"

After leaving the palace, Lu Wenyu kept walking and went straight to Zhaoyu.

As soon as Zhao approached the duty room, he saw Lu Wenyu sitting and drinking tea, "Fifth Master is back so soon?"

"How long does it take to enter the palace?" Lu Wenyu replied with a long sigh in his heart.

Feeling something was wrong, Zhao asked seriously, "What? The emperor doesn't agree?"

At this time, Lu Wenyu came back to his senses and realized that he had spoken out of turn. He hurriedly said, "The emperor agrees. I'm just worried about the food and grass at the border recently!"

"Where can I find food in this winter..."

Is that so. Although Zhao felt something was wrong, he didn't think much about it. It was normal for the commander of the Jinyiwei to hold some military positions, so he comforted him, "I can't do anything about it..."

"It's okay, I'll go find it." Lu Wenyu stood up and walked towards the door. He didn't forget to remind him before going out.

"You've been beheading people at the street corners for three days. Think about what else you haven't dealt with..."

"Take advantage of these two days to deal with it!"
