Qin Wenzheng stayed until he and the emperor were the only one left in the imperial study. The emperor asked, "What do you think about today's affairs?"

Qin Wenzheng was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "The Emperor is referring to... King Lu?"

The emperor glanced at him, "Don't pretend to be stupid, to be honest, I forgive you for being innocent."

"I dare not hide it. In fact, I have always been suppressing something in my heart and dare not say it." Qin Wenzheng suddenly knelt down, his tone was low, with unprecedented solemnity.

The emperor frowned, "Get up, there are only you and I in the imperial study room. Just say something."

Qin Wenzheng got up, took a deep breath, and walked to the emperor.

Although there are only two of them in the imperial study room, Qin Wenzheng's voice was extremely low just in case of the partition walls, "Emperor, there is indeed a reason for King Lu to target Shao Qingyuan and his wife. Shao Qingyuan and his wife discovered his secret. He wanted to kill someone to silence him."

The emperor was stunned, "What's the secret?"

"The two of them saw with their own eyes that the water bandit leader wanted in the capital last year had close contact with King Lu."

The emperor was shocked and looked up at him with an incredible look, "What did you say?"

Qin Wenzheng whispered in a low voice, "I dare not deceive the emperor. This matter was indeed what they told me in person. But this matter is of great importance, and I dare not act rashly before investigation. However, after the King of Lu knew that the couple saw it, he transferred the leader of the water bandit. I have been searching for it secretly a few days ago, but there are no clues yet."

The emperor looked furious and slapped at the table, "You didn't tell me about such a big thing."

"Prince forgive me." Qin Wenzheng immediately knelt down, "After all, there is no evidence. I dare not sue the emperor to make the emperor worry. Moreover, I am not sure if Shao Qingyuan and his wife really saw it. After all, King Lu and the Marquis of Huaiyin had personal grievances before, and I was also worried that they would exaggerate it because of some personal grievances. I thought to investigate the matter privately so as not to wrongly accuse the loyal ministers. But I didn't expect that such a thing would happen today. If I keep it hidden, I would probably..."

This matter was just what Shao Qingyuan told him on the way to the palace.

In fact, along the way, Qin Wenzheng originally wanted to ask where those weapons went. However, after hearing this, his attention changed.

The few of them discussed and mentioned the date of discovering the bandit leader before the date, and then took this opportunity to tell the emperor.

Although there is no evidence, King Lu's actions today are enough for the emperor to be suspicious, and it is a good time to speak out.

The emperor did not make a sound for a long time, and his expression changed unpredictably.

King Lu colluded with the leader of the water bandits? King Lu wanted to kill Shao Qingyuan Gu Yundong to silence him?

King Lu, King Lu...

The emperor suddenly remembered the reason why the water bandit leader wanted was because the water bandits wanted to kill and rob the merchant ships, but they did not expect that they would be wiped out in one fell swoop. The news that came out at that time was that the water bandits were going to attack the nobles on the merchant ships.

Coincidentally, Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were on the ship.

Therefore, the water bandits colluded with the King of Lu, and he attacked them, because the King of Lu wanted to kill them?

Why? King Lu and Shao Qingyuan and his wife should have no intersection before.

The emperor thought of what Gu Yundong cried just now. Could it be that the couple made too much contribution to him?
