Chapter 200 Evenly matched(1/2)
Xiao Jingyan pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes wandered around Lord Liu and Chu Yunning from time to time.
Lord Liu felt guilty and numb when he was seen, and turned his face to look elsewhere.
"After the person is dead, can I take it back and put it in the soil for peace?" Xiao Jingyan's eyes looked lonely: "After all, I am a close friend of mine for many years, so it is better to return to my roots."
This reason cannot be rejected at all.
Chu Yunning nodded: "Of course, it is a great blessing for Lord Lu to have a kind friend like the twelve princes."
"Miss Chu is joking. It's this king who implicated the owner of Manor Lu." Xiao Jingyan shook her head in sighing, with her eyebrows filled with sorrow and guilt that could not be relieved.
Soon Xiao Jingyan stood up and said to Lord Liu: "I'm sorry Lord Liu leads the way in front."
Lord Liu bent his body: "I don't dare to take it, please come from the twelfth prince."
Seeing the two of them walking away, Chu Yunning rubbed his eyebrows. She always felt that she had seen Xiao Jingyan more than once.
Half an hour later, Lord Liu turned back and consciously reported what happened in prison to Chu Yunning.
The owner of Manor Lu hit his head and died on the wall, leaving behind a blood letter, every word was written in a gem, just asking for a complete body to be kept, and Chu Yunning looked up to his noble hand.
Lord Liu had questions in his heart but dared not say that Master Lu was obviously a person who was afraid of death and gave so many silver notes, why did the twelve princes kill him?
This is a coincidence in this world.
It also makes people have to think about it.
Chu Yunning seemed to have seen through Lord Liu's thoughts and said lightly: "The owner of Manor Lu did not commit suicide, but was just scared to death."
To be honest, Chu Yunning really didn't think about taking Lord Lu's life, but after Xiao Jingyan came, Chu Yunning noticed that there was danger, so he started in advance.
Although he violated his promise, Chu Yunning had to say sorry in his heart.
Lord Liu suddenly realized that no wonder Lord Lu died so timely. If Lord Lu knew that someone came to save him, he would not die.
"Just just now, the 12th Prince said that he would bring back the 10,000 guards brought by the owner of Manor Lu. These people signed the contract for selling their bodies. Since the owner of Manor Lu is gone, the 12th Prince plans to dismiss the Lu family."
Lord Liu came to ask Chu Yunning what he meant.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunning was a little confused. Is this Xiao Jingyan a good person or a bad person?
"Mr. Chu, should we put this ten thousand guards or not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside rushed over and kowtowed to Lord Liu: "Sir, there are several people who are beating drums and making trouble outside the door, saying that they want to seek justice."
"What kind of justice?" Lord Liu asked with the flow.
The guard looked at Chu Yunning timidly and said hesitantly: "I said I wanted to pay my life to Chu Shanggong. The few people who were executed in the square a few days ago are good people. These women brought their families to complain."
Chu Yunning finally knew why Xiao Jingyan came, and quietly caused such trouble for her.
"Chu Shanggong, these people are indeed good people. Although they have signed a contract for selling their bodies, they have a contract for living. Now they are coming to the door. What should we do?" asked Lord Liu.
"If it were normal, how should Lord Liu handle this matter?"
Lord Liu said: "If the evidence is conclusive, it will definitely be detained, and there may be... torture."
I wouldn't dare to take action against Chu Yunning if I borrowed some courage.
Are you tired of living?
Chu Yunning put his fingertips on the table and tapped him gently, feeling irritated. She was careless about this matter.
"Sir, there is a adopted son who is known as Master Lu, who is coming outside the door. He said he wanted to collect the body of Master Lu. Then ask him what mistakes Master Lu made and why his family property was confiscated."
One by one, Lord Liu's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at Chu Yunning.
Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment and said, "You go to interrogate for the time being, and you can try whatever you need. I'll go to prison and go to the yamen in an hour."
"Yes." Lord Liu quickly left with the people.
Chu Yunning rushed to the prison without much thought, picked up about 500 people from the 10,000 ward and locked them in ten cells in batches.
Fifty people in the first cell looked at each other and silently waited for Chu Yunning's next move.
Chu Yunning spoke in a deep voice: "It is a fact that Master Lu Zhuang plots to rebel. Now Master Lu is dead. This matter can be beheaded at the least, and it can be implicated in the nine tribes. Now there is an opportunity to reform before you."
"Chu Shanggong clearly agreed to save Master Lu's life, but as a result, Master Lu was forced to death."
One of them spoke.
The rest of the people looked at Chu Yunning with vigilance.
Now Chu Yunning finally knew why Xiao Jingyan had to take away the body of the owner Lu.
This is telling everyone that Chu Yunning has made a mistake.
"Master Lu has no intention of plotting against rebellion. It was you who deliberately forced him to confess and torture him.Master Lu is not allowed to nod and confess his guilt."
"Yes, it was your forced. We never thought of treason."
"that is."
Once someone starts, the rest will follow and begin to resist indignation.
Chu Yunning clenched his fists tightly; "This is a prison, I have the final say, and you can't agree or not!"
"What, Chu Shanggong wants to take human life aside?" Someone looked disdainful and stepped forward to provoke.
Chu Yunning pondered for a moment.
"Why do you catch us and let us go!" The crowd began to riot, a little impatient.
She gestured with a look, and the deputy general stood up and hummed fiercely: "Not bad, who dares to talk nonsense? Look at the scimitar in my hand or not!"
Under the shock, the riots of the crowd gradually calmed down, but everyone still did not give up and stared at Chu Yunning with dissatisfaction.
Chu Yunning was too lazy to talk. After walking around ten prisons, he looked up at Shi Chen.
"Chu Shang Palace, it's almost an hour."
"Then let's go."
At that time, many people had gathered at the yamen gate. Xiao Jingyan sat aside, with many people kneeling in the hall.
Several women cried at the top of their throats. For a moment, the county yamen was a little noisy. Lord Liu slapped the table suddenly, and the hall finally became quiet.
"Master Qingtian, my man is making a living in Lujiazhuang every time. How could he be related to rebellion?"
"There are so men in my family. If you don't know one of them, how can it be related to rebellion?"
The request of several people is very simple, and I must give an explanation!
Lord Liu rebuked, "Don't make noise, and say one by one, if there is really an injustice, I will definitely deal with it impartially."
The adoptive son of the owner Lu was kneeling in mourning clothes, holding the owner Lu's tablet in his hand, his eyes were red in crying, and he looked heartbroken.
But it was less than two hours since the owner Lu died. No matter how much the news spread, it would not be possible to reach Qianzhou. This man was so good that he even prepared the clothes tablets.
This is obviously because Lord Liu has a headache, and he can't afford to offend both of them.
"Mr. Liu, I have met Mr. Lu. I am the adopted son adopted by Master Lu. In the future, I will point to inherit the family business." Xiao Jingyan sighed: "When Master Lu heard that he wanted to redeem Master Lu with silver, he had already made up his mind without saying a word. He came to pick up people today, but he didn't expect that Master Lu was dead and was still one step late."
"Please give justice to Lord Liu!" Mr. Lu kowtowed to Lord Liu, and soon the forehead was already purple.
Lord Liu was speechless.
Mr. Lu said again: "The silver was wanted by Chu Shang Palace, and the people were also promised to protect. Now that the silver is given, the person is dead, should Chu Shang Palace give it to him?"
"Yes, we want to see this Chu Shang Palace!" Several women also ordered to see Chu Yunning.
At this moment, Chu Yunning came slowly. She wore a green silk skirt, moving with the wind, and stood in the lobby without being humble or arrogant, and glanced at Mr. Lu: "I am Chu Yunning."
"Chu Yunning!" Mr. Lu gritted his teeth, feeling a little excited, but his body did not move, and asked, "Why do you want to kill my father?"
"Your father is suspected of treason, and he committed suicide, which is to protect you!" Chu Yunning said.
Mr. Lu sneered: "Nonsense, when will my father rebel?"
"Then let me ask you, why did your father bring 10,000 yuan to Yuanzhou?" Chu Yunning asked coldly.
"Of course, I want to investigate the murderer who killed my aunt and the murderer who killed my sister, so I came to Yuanzhou. After my father came to Yuanzhou, he never killed anyone!" Mr. Lu was very excited when he talked about his emotions: "My Lord Liu, my father has been in Yuanzhou for a few days, and you can see it all."
Lord Liu coughed twice. This matter became more and more complicated. With so many people present, he had to turn his attention to Chu Yunning.
"Mr. Liu, do you have any conflicts with Lord Liu and Lord Lu on the street ten days ago?"
Lord Liu nodded: "This is indeed the case, and many people witnessed it at that time."
"So what? It doesn't mean that my father is plotting against him." Mr. Lu said with his neck tampered.
Chu Yunning looked at Lord Liu and smiled: "What happened that night?"
After this reminder, Lord Liu suddenly realized: "That night, Lord Lu sent someone to attack the prefect."
"Who was there at that time?"
"It's the Emperor!" Lord Liu immediately said in a deep voice: "The Lord Lu came to assassinate the Emperor, but several people died, so he buried it in the back mountain. It was only ten days before he dug out the people and compared them, he would definitely find out his identity."
After the words came, Mr. Lu suddenly choked and looked at Xiao Jingyan as if he was asking for help.
Chu Yunning spread out the portrait in his hand so that everyone could see clearly. The person in the portrait was Xiao Jingheng.
"This is the emperor of the current dynasty. Half a month ago, I heard something strange in Qianzhou, so I came here to take a look. But I was entangled by Lu Qianqian. The owner of the Manor Lu loved his daughter and wanted the emperor to be his son-in-law. At that time, the owner of the Manor Lu did not know the emperor's identity, and by chance, the emperor's identity was exposed..."
