Wang Ning ordered people to ask for the doctor, who followed Lu Chengfeng.

Although Wang Ning was a subordinate, his expression was courteous, but he was not a flatterer. He slowly walked half a step behind the others: "Sir, what do you think of Liu Fei's matter?"

Lu Chengfeng scanned the torture instruments with great interest, then sat down at the table and looked at him: "Case files."

Wang Ning found out the case and handed it to her. After Lu Chengfeng finished reading it, he smiled expressionlessly and said: "The evidence is too pale to convict, and I heard that Liu Fei claimed not to know anything before he was sent to prison. Although he had an official position,

Not much, but I have made friends with a group of literati, who wrote a lot about right and wrong, and you can’t help but know that such evidence of crime cannot convince them."

Wang Ning hesitated for a moment and said: "It is true that we cannot convict based on two specious letters. I thought that if Liu Fei confessed in person, those people kneeling outside would also be able to shut up. This case has been dragged on for a long time."

, more and more people came from Ganzhou day by day, and some of them gathered at Heming Tower in Yanjing to watch the case, and my subordinates became more anxious and took more serious measures. "

Punishment is a common method used by the Sanfa Division, and Jin Yiwei just followed the example and became more ruthless.

Lu Chengfeng looked at the two letters used to convict people of treason and said, "Then have you ever thought about why, with Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment, Jin Yiwei took over this case?"

Wang Ning really didn't know, and Lu Chengfeng naturally wouldn't tell him the real situation. He muttered, "Does the emperor know that Jin Yiwei abuses punishment?"

Wang Ning didn't know what she wanted to say, and was slightly stunned: "...What does this mean?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "If you present Liu Fei's confession today, the people outside will definitely not give up. At that time, the people in Yanjing City will think that it was the Zhenfu Division who surrendered, and you... can hardly escape the blame.

.”

Wang Ning frowned and couldn't help but said: "You mean, the emperor wants to remove me from my post?"

"No, this is to rectify the officialdom! If it is really for the sake of the case, then this matter should be handed over to the more capable Sanfa Division. Since it falls here, it means that Jin Yiwei is the first target. If this matter goes wrong,

, big or small.”

Wang Ning didn't know how much he believed it, but as long as he believed it by one or two points, Liu Fei's case would be re-investigated. It was not easy for Lu Chengfeng to make up this prevarication. After all, he wanted to persuade Wang Ning to do his best to investigate.

To investigate this case, it is useless to rely solely on official rank. There are many people in the officialdom who work both actively and covertly. Only by involving this case with his future can we have a chance.

Wang Ning looked uncertain, thinking more than what Lu Chengfeng said, but Lu Chengfeng said something that hit people's hearts. Yes, why did this case fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei? Which of the three law departments can't investigate?

He thought about the current chaos in the Yanjing court, and after thinking about it, he actually felt that Lu Chengfeng's words were a reminder.

When he thought about it, he suddenly raised his head, met Lu Chengfeng's calm eyes, and immediately handed over his hands: "I know this, please remind me."

Lu Chengfeng leaned back, raised his eyes slightly, and smiled meaningfully: "Zhen Fu is indeed a smart man."

Under the re-interrogation of the Zhenfu Division, Wang Ning quickly sent someone to Ganzhou. The two letters were also sent to Yanjing's famous calligraphers for appraisal. Comparing the handwriting of Liu Fei's letters with others in the past, the three letters were found.

The two letters written by two of them were imitation letters, and the case suddenly became clear. The details could only be made after the people who went to Ganzhou came back.

Lu Chengfeng now had to consider her situation again. If the emperor spoke after the case was concluded, would she go or stay?

Lu Chengfeng rested his head on his forehead and sat in a daze by the window. There was a strong wind outside, roaring and rolling up the fallen leaves in the garden. The whole sky was gray and a storm was coming.

Qing Feng knocked on the door despite the strong wind and said, "Master, Master Tan is here."

Lu Chengfeng came to his senses and went to the front hall.

Tan Chengyi had obviously just left the palace and had not even changed into court clothes. He was already good-looking, and now he was wearing a bright red court dress that made him look even more heroic, with a hint of gentleness in his handsomeness.

He stood up and said, "Miss Lu."

Qing Feng served tea and left, and Lu Chengfeng said, "Young Master Tan is here, but you have something to talk to me about?"

Tan Chengyi smiled, then quickly calmed down and said, "I received the gold lock you returned, and I thought we were already friends."

Lu Chengfeng sat down: "We are friends, but since we have retreated, it's okay not to mention this matter."

Tan Chengyi also sat down: "If you said you wouldn't mention it, then don't mention it. I have one more important thing to do today."

Lu Chengfeng held a cup and smelled the fragrance of tea, and said without raising his head: "Say."

This tea was specially brought to her by Xie Jiuxiao the day before yesterday. Lu Chengfeng drank little tea on weekdays, and the tea taste between the brothers was not that good, but she still knew whether the tea tasted good or not.

As soon as Lu Chengfeng took a sip of tea, he heard Tan Chengyi say: "I came here specifically to propose marriage to you today."

"Cough cough cough cough..." Lu Chengfeng was choked and caught off guard.

After a moment, she looked in disbelief: "...what?"

Lu Chengfeng rarely showed such an expression, so it was conceivable that talking about Cheng Yi was almost as mindless as a fantasy to her.

Tan Chengyi looked at her calmly: "I'm here to propose marriage today."

Lu Chengfeng really heard clearly: "Reason."

Cheng Yi was deep in thought, looking a bit hesitant.

Lu Chengfeng calmed down and put down the tea: "You said you like me, but you don't believe it yourself."

Tan Chengyi said: "You should know that this is the best choice."

Lu Chengfeng blinked.

Tan Chengyi looked at her and said: "You have many obstacles in doing things in Yanjing. There are two reasons. One is your identity, and the other is that you have no one to rely on. If you are married to the Tan family, the situation will be very different. Although I am just

Minister, but the Tan family has a huge foundation..."

When Tan Chengyi said this, he seemed a little helpless and paused: "Actually, I don't want to say this, but I have admired you for a long time... I know you don't believe it, but we have met before."

Lu Chengfeng pondered slightly, nodded and said, "I remember that you visited the Subei Military Camp four years ago."

Tan Chengyi said: "I thought you forgot."

Lu Chengfeng said: "I really don't remember. I didn't know your name at that time, but it was just a one-time encounter."

Tan Chengyi nodded: "It's just a one-time relationship, which is enough for me to remember for a long time."

Lu Chengfeng smiled when he heard this and took up the tea again: "Since you said it honestly, I won't beat around the bush. I don't believe your so-called love. I don't know what happened to make you say this suddenly, but

I don't accept it, of course, we are friends."

Tan Chengyi smiled helplessly: "...You are more difficult to get close to than before."

Lu Chengfeng said calmly: "It's hard to get close? It sounds a bit complaining."

"I'm a little reluctant, but apart from these personal emotions, isn't it because of the Lu family that you have come all the way now?"

Lu Chengfeng paused.

Tan Chengyi put away his smile: "If I were you, the family would be destroyed and defeated miserably on the battlefield. In the face of all the indisputable facts, ordinary people would not have the courage to live in such a desperate situation."

Lu Chengfeng laughed: "It's just a matter of lingering for a while and being afraid of death."

Cheng Yi also laughed when talking about it: "Lu Chengfeng, who dared to circle the entire desert to pursue the enemy with two thousand cavalry, is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Lu Chengfeng's eyes were bright: "So?"

Tan Chengyi said: "No matter what you want to do, I will support you, myself and the entire Tan family."

"You're using Tanjia as a bargaining chip. The terms are really tempting, and you don't ask for anything in return?"

Tan Chengyi smiled casually, quite nonchalantly: "Please, why don't you please? Please."

Lu Chengfeng was silent for a while, then smiled slowly: "This is a good deal, I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Tan Chengyi's eyes flashed: "Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

As soon as Tan Chengyi left, Qing Feng couldn't help but come in and looked at her worriedly: "Master, do you really plan to marry the Tan family?"

Lu Chengfeng's expression showed no emotion or anger: "Why not? Talking about Cheng Yi's proposal today is something I have always been worried about. If there is indeed an inside story about the Subei incident, can I really overturn the case on my own? The Lu family has not fallen.

Before, I had the whole Subei as my backer, but now I have nothing."

Qingfeng disagreed and said: "...But you can't get married like this."

Lu Chengfeng smiled: "It's just a marriage. He has his own plans, and I have my own plans. Sometimes, only by being in the middle of it can we see the situation more clearly."

Qing Feng could see that she really didn't care, whether it was Xue Feng or Tan Cheng Yi or anyone else. Now as long as it was beneficial to him, she would not hesitate to use it.

Qing Feng couldn't bear it, and seeing that he couldn't persuade anyone, he changed his mind and left.
