Chapter 407: Joining the Game

Since the case was to be closed, Zhu Cheng began to sort out the preliminary documents for closing the case. He was ready to show it to Zhu Zhengfu when he met him.

Duan Rong and Zhu Peng could only stare blankly.

At 3 pm in the afternoon, Zhu Cheng finally sorted out the preliminary documents for closing the case. He stood up and stretched his stiff waist.

Zhu Cheng put away the documents and asked Duan Rong to go to Zhu Zhengfu's house together.

Zhu Peng was surprised and said, "Don't I have to go?"

Zhu Cheng said, "You don't have to. Wait here for us to come back."

Zhu Peng sat back down with a curse, but he also knew that whether he went or not was not up to Zhu Cheng to decide, because Zhu Zhengfu didn't mention his name.

In terms of kinship, Zhu Peng had to call Zhu Zhengfu his seventh uncle. And he was a real seventh uncle.

But his seventh uncle looked down on him since he was a child. During the years he was Guanglu Dafu, Zhu Peng did not get any benefits and was scolded from time to time.

Now, Shangshu Ling Zhu Shizhong died, and his seventh uncle became the head of the Zhu family in the secular world. He really didn't know whether to be happy or sigh?

Duan Rong and Zhu Cheng left the room and just turned into a corridor. Suddenly, the door of a room not far away opened, and a figure came out. It was the pockmarked face.

The pockmarked face saw the two of them and bowed respectfully, saying: "Master Zhu! Master Duan!"

Zhu Cheng hummed in his nose and walked over.

After the two walked over, the pockmarked face put down his hand, raised his waist, and walked slowly to the other side.

Duan Rong sighed slightly.

Although this person had pockmarks on his face, he looked peaceful and respectful, and looked completely harmless.

Who would have thought that such a secret agent was placed in the Dali Temple?

Although he was curious, he did not talk to Zhu Cheng about the pockmarked face. Until now, Duan Rong did not even know what the pockmarked face was called.

Zhu Cheng was different from Zhu Peng. Zhu Peng was a careless person, and it was harmless to chat with him, but Zhu Cheng was obviously a thoughtful person. If he talked to him about the pockmarked face for no reason, once the pockmarked face was exposed one day, he would definitely suspect that he had known it for a long time but did not tell him.

It is better to talk less.

The two rode two light horses of the Dali Temple and rode along Changle Street to Zhu Zhengfu's mansion.

They landed in front of a rather low-key and remote house. After Zhu Cheng knocked on the door, he handed the visiting card to the doorman.

The doorman asked the two to drink tea and wait in a living room, and he took Zhu Cheng's visiting card and went to the backyard.

Before the two of them could even sit down, the doorman came back and led them to the flower hall in the backyard.

When they entered the flower hall, they saw a middle-aged man with a beard and casual clothes sitting on a grand master's chair. His face was pale and his eyes were calm and cunning.

As soon as Zhu Cheng and Duan Rong entered the flower hall, they immediately clasped their fists and said, "Master Zhu!"

Zhu Zhengfu stood up with a smile and said, "We are not in the hall now. You don't have to be polite. Just sit down."

After hearing this, the two sat down on the chairs beside them.

As soon as they sat down, Zhu Cheng glanced at Duan Rong, took out the document from his sleeve, looked up at Zhu Zhengfu, and said, "After a month of open and secret investigation by the Dali Temple, I think it's time to apply for the closure of the case of Shangshu Ling Zhu Shizhong. This is the closure document. Please take a look, Master!"

As Zhu Cheng said this, he had already held the closure document in his hand.

Logically speaking, the process of closing the case should be that the Dali Temple Chief should submit it to the Dali Temple Shaoqing, who should review it and submit it to the Dali Temple Qing. After the Dali Temple Qing reviews and stamps it, the case can be declared closed. After sending one copy of the closing document to the Shangshu Ling for filing and one copy to the Jianyi Doctor to inform him of the closing, the matter is over.

Logically speaking, this criminal case has nothing to do with Guanglu Doctor at all, but Zhu Cheng's closing document has not been submitted yet, but he has to ask Zhu Zhengfu to review it first.

In the final analysis, the process of the yamen is just a formality. After all, the dead is the head of the Zhu family in the secular world. To close the case, not only Zhu Zhengfu has to nod, but also the opinion of the one in the Elders' Council.

"Oh?" Zhu Zhengfu's eyes moved.

Zhu Cheng immediately stood up and respectfully handed the document in his hand in front of Zhu Zhengfu.

Zhu Zhengfu took it and immediately opened it.

After reading it, Zhu Zhengfu closed the book and remained silent.

Zhu Cheng and Duan Rong did not speak either, waiting for Zhu Zhengfu to speak.

After a while, Zhu Zhengfu smiled, looked at them, and said: "You two have worked hard! Especially Mr. Duan, you are young, but you can see through everything, draw the thunder, and dig out the thief behind the murder. It's not easy!"

"Although we failed to catch the mastermind because of Zhou Wei, the secret agent. But it is also a great achievement to expose Zhou Wei, the secret agent!"

Zhu Zhengfu said, putting the case-closing document on the table next to him, and then continued: "Since the clues are broken, it is useless to drag it on. In my opinion, it is time to close the case."

Zhu Cheng still had no expression on his face when he heard this.

At this time, Zhu Zhengfu glanced at Zhu Cheng and said: "I will report this to the ancestor, wait for the news."

"Oh! Thank you, sir!" Zhu Cheng said with bright eyes at this time.

After that, they chatted casually for a few more words.

Duan Rong and Zhu Cheng got up to say goodbye.

At this time, Zhu Zhengfu suddenly stopped Duan Rong and said, "My dear Duan, please stay for a moment. I have something to say to you."

Duan Rong froze slightly, he just assisted in handling the case, what did this person do. And a little friend was so kind, but he could hear goosebumps straight.

Zhu Cheng heard the words and glanced at Duan Rong, and he stood back and retreated. Zhu Zhengfu obviously wants to talk to Duan Rong alone.

Zhu Cheng retreated, Duan Rong looked at Zhu Zhengfu curiously, but Zhu Zhengfu laughed: "Duan Xiaoyou, a little peace of mind! Wait for the kitchen to get two side dishes, we eat and talk."

Duan Rong's heart was even more surprised. Before the meal, he started to get the side dishes. What kind of medicine does this old family sell in the gourd? But his face smiled lightly and said, "Then disturb Master Zhu!"

Zhu Zhengfu laughed: "You don't have to see it."

The two chatted in the flower hall for a while, and Zhu Zhengfu invited Duan Rong to a study room that seemed more hidden.

I saw a few dishes and a pot of wine on the eight immortal tables in the study.

The two immediately sat, Zhu Zhengfu poured Duan Rong a glass of wine and poured himself a glass.

Zhu Zhengfu raised his toast: "Duan Xiaoyou is a youth talent. He has a future, and it is not limited! Come on, I lean on the old age, respect Duan Xiaoyou a cup!"

Duan Rong immediately raised his toasting, and said, "The adult is praised! How dare Duan Rong dare to be?"

The two drank each.

Zhu Zhengfu asked Duan Rong to eat a few delicate dishes.

Zhu Zhengfu put down his chopsticks and suddenly said: "Duan Xiaoyou led to Tian Lei, and my ancestor had known this. The ancestor praised the little friend!"

"Master Zhu He?!" Duan made a look and said.

"Exactly! My ancestor is exactly the seat of Shi Shi in Zongmen, Lord Zhu He!"

Duan Rong was surprised: "Master Zhu He already knows this?"

"Natural. The ancestor of this case has always been concerned." Zhu Zhengfu looked at Duan Rong and laughed: "The ancestor praised you, you were meticulous, including Hong Guangda.

Duan Rong smiled slightly. He felt that Zhu Zhengfu was holding him, and he didn't believe that Zhu He would praise him like this.

This person is really old churros, and his skin is thicker than the city wall. This kind of person is also an endless in the officialdom!

Duan Rong's subtle smile, Zhu Zhengfu didn't see it, and continued: "The ancestor also said that the fasserous thing in this world is to teach it in the world. The old ancestors are favored, it's really gratifying!

Duan Rong's heart trembled.

There is something in Zhu Zhengfu! Listening to that means, it seems that Zhu He has the meaning of recruiting himself, but he doesn't have a little bit transparent.

Duan Rong raised his cup.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Zhu Zhengfu put down the wine glass, but suddenly got up and walked deep into the study. When he returned to the wine table, he saw that he was holding an ancient book in his hand.

Zhu Zhengfu put that thing carefully on the empty place of the table, and said: "Duan Xiaoyou, not only the name of the detective, but also the poem is also high. The song" Shangshan Early Walk "is already fortunate to see it. ah!"

Duan Rong laughed: "The game is not worth mentioning."

That "Shangshan Early Walk" was praised by Qin Xueyin's mouth, and he has been widely chanted between the literati and guests of Shenyunfu. Zhu Zhengfu also learned about this two days ago. He knew that he was written by Duan Rong. Read it carefully.

Zhu He used to believe in him before. In addition to talking about the situation in Shenyunfu, he also deliberately instructed him to choose to win Duan Rong.

Under the hurry, he was worried how to win, and saw the song "Shangshan Early", and suddenly there was a plan.

Zhu Zhengfu said: "Duan Xiaoyou has been modest. Many things in this world are talented. Many things, before the age of 20, are hopeless in life."

Zhu Zhengfu said that his tone was quite desolate.

Duan Rong on Zhu Zhengfu's clever face. For the first time, he saw a touch of true feelings, and for a moment, he was slightly froze.

Zhu Zhengfu suddenly smiled, and the desolation that had just surged on his face, disappearing and trace, still a smooth and clever smile.

"Duan Xiaoyou is both poetic, and he must also be a poem." Zhu Zhengfu said, reaching out and stroking the ancient book of the box, just like the mother stroked the sleeping child. "This is Gao Qingqiu's lonely copywriting poems, this person is also a poem talent Gao Yiyi. The little friend must be able to pay with him! This thing is given to the little friend, it can be regarded as the Ming Lord!"

"Gao Qingqiu?!" Duan Rong heard his eyes, his eyes moved slightly.

Gao Qingqiu is the most famous poet in this world. It has been dead for more than a thousand years. He is a person in Yongzhou. He travels in the Western Regions all year round. His poetry runs through the Buddhist way, the charm is natural, and the mood is like an antelope hanging corner.

Duan Rong put his hand gently on the draft, and said secretly: "Read the spirit."

Instantly, a set of data appeared in front of Duan Rong's eyes.

Insider: Gao Qingqiu's solitary poems

Equivalence of Qi Ling: Thirteenth -order

Deviny requirement: The host spiritual power level 13 (dissatisfied)

The devouring effect: Text Sanmad 12, Shen Yun Tiancheng Eight, and communicate with the three levels of heaven and man.

Duan Rong looked at the data that emerged in front of him, slightly stuttering. The spiritual level of this poem has reached the thirteenth level. With him achieved the spiritual strength of the eleventh layer of Tibetan scriptures, he could not swallow.

This Gao Qingqiu's poem and manuscript spirit is higher than Ni Yunlin's "Qiuzhuang Qiu Tu".

It's been a thousand years, and the soul of poetry is immortal!

Duan Rong's eyes were filled with enthusiasm. He was not greedy for the things in front of him, he was admiring the immortality of the soul of poetry.

But Zhu Zhengfu saw it and thought he had given the right thing.

Zhu Zhengfu tried again and again to let Duan Rong accept it. Because he could see that Zhu Zhengfu was sending it with all his heart.

The two drank a few more cups and chatted for a while before Zhu Zhengfu personally sent Duan Rong out.

Watching Duan Rong leave with the box of poems, Zhu Zhengfu's eyes flashed a touch of pain until then. The Gao Qingqiu's only copy of the poem was also his favorite thing. If the ancestor hadn't asked him to win over Duan Rong, he really wouldn't be willing to give up his flesh.

It wasn't that he was willing to invest, the ancestor never said nonsense in his letters, even if he only mentioned one sentence, it was a big deal. If he didn't do it well, he would be in trouble when he was counted in the autumn.

Duan Rong rode his horse slowly in the twilight.

He was very curious, why did Zhu Zhengfu give him such a generous gift?

And what did the words "get the world's talents and teach them" mean during the banquet?

Was it Zhu He's intention, or was Zhu Zhengfu taking advantage of the situation? Duan Rong couldn't make up his mind for a while.

But he also noticed that he assisted in the investigation of the case. Although he didn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes, he finally found out the cause of death of Shangshu Ling Zhu Shizhong.

Duan Rong originally thought that he had mastered the degree well.

But he thought later that even if it was just like this, in the eyes of other forces, he was already a member of the Zhu family. After all, he assisted the Zhu family in investigating the case and found out the clues, and even attracted thunder for this.

In other words, although he didn't want to join the game, in fact, he was already in the game from the moment he stepped into Shenyun Mansion. It's just that he took it for granted that he could pass through the flowers without getting a single leaf on him.

This is also the reason why he was willing to accept Zhu Zhengfu's gift. Since other forces have already considered him a member of the Zhu family, why should he hide his intentions and not please both sides?

Even so, for some reason, Duan Rong always felt strange in his heart, as if he had been calculated by someone. But he couldn't say what it was.

In the next few days, because they had to wait for a reply, Duan Rong, Zhu Cheng, and Zhu Peng began to travel together.

Three days later, the reply from the sect came, with just four words: the case can be closed.

On the same day, Zhu Cheng submitted the case-closing documents.

After the case-closing documents were submitted, many visiting cards arrived at the Dali Temple, and all of them were for Duan Rong.

Duan Rong opened them one by one, and found that many officials of all sizes in Shenyun Mansion were there, including the owner of the mansion, Wang Maochun, and the Dali Temple Minister Chen Shanmeng. During the investigation, they did not dare to invite Duan Rong, for fear of being suspected of interfering with the investigation. As soon as the case closing documents were submitted, invitations to Duan Rong came in like snowflakes.

Duan Rong only accepted the invitations from Wang Maochun and Chen Shanmeng.

After all, he had already learned that in the sect, the dispute over the next sect leader was between Zhu He and Lu Zhongtang and Ge Rusong.

Wang Maochun and Chen Shanmeng, in fact, had no party or faction. So, it would be no problem for him to attend the banquet.

As for the other officials, Duan Rong replied to the invitations one by one, and his tone and attitude were naturally extremely respectful. He couldn't afford to offend any of the officials in Shenyun Mansion, but there were too many of them, how could he go to all of them? Moreover, these officials had complicated backgrounds, and he didn't understand them, so how could he dare to go?

As for the counselor Ge Hengtai, he didn't invite Duan Rong, maybe because the case was not pleasant, or maybe he had other ideas in his mind.

But it was good this way, if Ge Hengtai invited him, Duan Rong would really be in trouble. If he didn't go, he would be offending one of the four ministers. If he went, wouldn't he be seen as a fence-sitter in the eyes of others? Therefore, Duan Rong felt that even if Ge Hengtai invited him, he would most likely decline his invitation.

Ge Hengtai should have expected this, so he didn't send a visiting card to avoid being embarrassed.
