Three days later, on the fourth day after Li Ling was imprisoned in the Imperial City Division, Lu Zhen finally returned to Luoyang City.

As one of the two major officials in the Imperial City Division who truly holds real power, the case that Lu Zhen personally handled was naturally very large. This time, the arrest was a disaster for the capital and surrounding areas for more than half a year, raped and killed dozens of innocent women, including many officials who had a daughter-in-law, Wu Qian.

Because of this person's existence, many prefectures outside the capital have also imposed curfews. Those big girls and wives dare not go out at will. They were really panic and they were afraid to talk.

Because Wu Qian was really doing evil, had great strength and was cunning, the court could only send elite troops from the Imperial City Department to arrest him. After nearly a month of setting up a bureau to search, this time he finally trapped the villain to death in a small county town.

Originally, Lu Zhen naturally wanted to continue to stay in the local area and command the thief. But as Li Ling returned to Beijing, he was imprisoned in the Imperial City Division. Especially afterwards, there was a confidant who heard that Wei Tianying almost attacked Li Ling, Lu Zhen no longer cared about the final ending here and immediately brought his people back to Luoyang.

However, according to the current process, Wu Qian, who has fallen into the net of heaven and earth, has no longer had a way out of life and will undoubtedly die.

When Lu Zhen returned to the Imperial City Department, before he could see Li Ling, his subordinates reported some of the disputes in the court these days.

Yes, in just a few days, the debate about whether Li Ling was guilty became fierce with his return. Unlike the almost one-sided situation before, there were suddenly many voices in the court that spoke for Li Ling. They claimed that Li Ling was a loyal minister of the Great Yue Dynasty and that the capture of Li Tong was a real killing relatives for the sake of justice and loyalty to the country. Others attacked him and were all slandering him, which helped boost the arrogance of the Luotian Sect's rebels.

From the verbal disputes at the court meeting to the memorials and writing battles after the court meeting, it is really exciting, making the court today particularly lively.

After hearing this report, the anxious look on Lu Zhen's face disappeared, and he even smiled a little: "It seems that the King of England has also started to take action. I really didn't expect that in just a short time, His Highness of England has such a power in the court, and it is enough to compete with the prince. This is a good thing for me, at least the resistance from the court was blocked by the King of England, as for something else..."

While thinking about it, he had already stood up and went straight out. The only thing that made him worry about now was that once he took action to save Li Ling at this time, he would obviously stand with him. But when he thought about it, he felt relieved again: "Your Majesty originally had the intention of suppressing the prince. At this time, I stood by the King of England, but in fact I was standing on the side of Your Majesty!"

When he came to the courtyard where Li Ling was guarding Li Ling, Lu Zhen saw at a glance that his two most capable confidants were leading people to guard the door. When he saw him coming, the few of them hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, I was negligent before, which led to Lord Li being almost killed by Wei Tianying. He was responsible for a great crime. Please punish him." When we met, we apologized first.

Lu Zhen just waved his hands casually, without any intention of pursuing them: "At that time, you didn't know that this was happening, so it was reasonable to obey Wei Tianying's orders. Since nothing went wrong, you were not considered a mistake. But next, you must be very energetic and guard Lord Li with me."

"Yes, Bei Zhi must protect Lord Li." The few people felt relieved and reassured again thankfully.

Lu Zhen nodded, then entered the yard, and happened to run into Li Ling who heard the sound. Then he exchanged greetings and politeness. After entering the hall, he briefly talked about the previous events with each other.

Lu Zhen has already known Li Ling's various experiences in Huguang for a long time, so naturally he did not engage in many troubles in this matter, but quickly got into the topic: "Wen Zhong, I'm sorry to tell the truth. This matter is really a bit tricky. The suspicion and debate in the court can actually be ignored, but the doubts about you are the most uneasy. After all, no matter how you say it, it is difficult for people to fully believe that you, as the son of Li Tong, will not have other ideas and will not have any connection with the Luotian Sect. Even if it is just a little bit of doubt in Your Majesty's heart, it will be enough to bring you and your whole family a disaster."

He didn't mention it more deeply, that is, not only Li Ling and his family, but also those who are closely related to him, such as Sun Bi, Xiao Chengzhi, and even him, Lu Zhen, may be implicated.

After hearing this, Li Ling did not panic and smiled and said, "I know... in a sense, everything else is false. What your Majesty thinks of me is the real problem."

"That's the reason. And the bloodline of father and son is the most difficult to cut off. Your Majesty just wants to believe you again, I'm afraid..." Lu Zhen's sigh was quickly cut off by Li Ling: "If I tell you, what if Li Tong and I are not bloody father and son at all?"

"That's useless... what are you saying?" Lu Zhen denied it casually, and then he felt shocked when he said it. He stared at Li Ling with surprise. The last sentence was a little out of tune, sharp and anxious.

Li Ling was amused, but the expression on his face was still calm: "Li Tong and I are not actually father and son, and he is not my biological father."

"Wen Zhong, this is not the time to joke. What you said is true?"

"Am I a joker at random on major events? To be honest, when I first learned the truth, I was also shocked, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt it was natural. Think about it, who is Li Tong? That is an important chess piece hidden in Huaibei by Luo Tian Sect. How could he leave such a big flaw for himself?"

Lu Zhen frowned and pondered, and had to agree with Li Ling's statement. No matter how vicious a person is, he is still a little concerned about his relatives, after all, he doesn't eat any other people. And elders of Luotian Sect like Li Tong do not need to add flaws to him. Thinking of Li Ling's origin, he even feels that something is hidden in it.

"In order not to be suspected and to make himself look like an ordinary person, he had to marry and have children on the surface, so we were three siblings. But in fact, we are just tools he used to cover up people's eyes and things. It would be too polite to say that we are so flesh and blood." Li Ling gave an in-depth explanation with a gloomy face, and at the same time he deliberately changed his sister's true origin.

Lu Zhen's face was even more serious at this time, staring at him and said, "What you said is the fact? But... Is there any substantial evidence?" Only by bringing out substantial evidence can you win the trust of Your Majesty and make the courtiers shut up. After all, the distance between the biological father and son and the tools used by others is too great.

Li Ling nodded seriously: "Of course, if there is no conclusive evidence, how could I say that, let alone take him and return to the capital."

Lu Zhen was excited and believed in Li Ling's statement. Yes, if it were him, under Li Ling's circumstances, even if he did not join the Luo Tian Sect because of his father, he would have to leave and dare not return to the capital. After all, everyone knew that returning to Luoyang with such an identity would inevitably be the suspicion of the court, as well as the jail disaster, and even the life would be paid.

"Where is the evidence?" Lu Zhen took a breath and asked quickly.

"I was adopted by Li Tong in Jiangcheng County, so the relevant evidence is naturally included. But after all, after many years, some people and some things may have already..."

"It's okay, as long as you tell the truth, there will always be clues left. If the people from my Imperial City Department want to investigate, they will definitely be able to check it!"

Li Ling smiled. This was exactly the answer he wanted to hear: "Then I'll be Lord Lu." As he said that, he told the most critical point, which made the other party amazed again.

Just after Lu Zhen finished listening, he patted his chest and promised that the matter would come to light and restore Li Ling's innocence. He reminded him again: "Mr. Lu, there is another thing you must pay attention to in this matter..."

After hearing Li Ling's words, Lu Zhen's brows quickly frowned: "Wen Zhong, why are you so negligent? You actually showed such an important inside story in front of Wei Tianying... If they were interested in making trouble..."

"Mr. Lu, I did it on purpose." Li Ling smiled, which made Lu Zhen stunned, but then he reacted: "You mean, are you deliberately letting him know, and then you can use a trick to ask you to get into the trap?"

"That's right. If what I expected is, the prince should be behind it, right? The prince has always had a grudge against me. Will he let go of such a good opportunity? Especially, as long as the evidence that Jiangcheng County can prove my true relationship with Li Tong, wouldn't I be killed?"

"Not bad! The prince will not let go of this opportunity. Wei Tianying's people, or the prince's people, will definitely go to Jiangcheng County like us..."

"And all we have to do is take them down there. This will not only help me get out of this matter, but also..."

"And we can also pull Wei Tianying and the prince into this pit!" Lu Zhen quickly touched, his expression full of excitement, and he used his palm to punch the boxing.

"That's what it means." Li Ling sneered, his tone full of murderousness. Since the other party attacked him first, don't blame him for taking revenge. In his eyes, the prince is still a target that must be calculated and must be eliminated.
