Sir, I can do it!

Shen Yuan didn't expect the matter to escalate so quickly, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly reported the case.The case involved high officials of the imperial court, and the minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the supervisory court envoys were all on alert.

Li Huai was furious when he learned of the case.

Seeing this, Fan Duo, the Minister of Political Affairs, said: "It's not credible to rely on a woman's words, and the rumors intensified after the incident happened. I don't know if Master Lu is being criticized by others."

Cai Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, glanced at him lightly: "Mr. Fan's words are wrong. Our Daqi laws have always been strict on trafficking cases. Since the people have sued, the government must not use any excuses to evade responsibility. Chen Qiniang's words are convincing, You only need to send someone to Xiaoxishan Bieyuan to find out. If Master Lu is really framed, Dali Temple will punish Chen Qiniang."

Fan Duo retorted: "Lord Lu is the Minister of Guanglu Temple of the third grade. It is inappropriate to search the Lu family garden without knowing the facts. The rumors on the street are so fierce that someone must spread them intentionally to incite the people. Now we should stop the rumors and arrest them. A person who spreads rumours."

Liu Yi, the envoy of the Overwatch Council, said, "There are no rumors. If Mr. Lu is an upright official, why are you afraid of rumors?"

The officials quarreled endlessly, and Li Huai's eyes became darker.

Just when the ministers were at loggerheads, Gao Hai came to report: "Master Lu, please see me."

The Hall of Xuanming was still for a moment.

Li Huai said in a deep voice, "Xuan!"

Lu Ding's face was pale, his eyes were slightly red, and he prostrated himself on the ground as soon as he entered the palace: "I am ashamed of trusting the emperor."

Li Huai stood up and raised his hand, signaling Gao Hai to help him up.

"Why did Xiangye say that? Don't say that the matter is not clear, it is really brother Ling's action. What does Xiangye have to do with it?"

Cai Yan frowned imperceptibly, the emperor's words meant that he wanted to take the prime minister out.

Lu Ding paid his respects again, tearfully saying: "The emperor trusts me, and I will not hesitate to do so. However, the abduction and trafficking case is a serious case, and the iron law set by the previous emperor cannot be ignored. I implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate this case, here During this period, the minister resigned from court affairs and only waited for the case to be clarified. If it is really the brother who did it, the minister asks the emperor to punish him according to the law and not tolerate it. If the elder brother is wronged, the emperor asks the emperor to read it for the sake of the minister and seek justice for the elder brother. "

Liu Yi looked at Lu Ding with a confused expression, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xiang is dedicated to serving the public, and he is my minister. Since the matter has become big, suppressing rumors blindly will only be counterproductive. It's not as good as what the photographer said. , strictly investigate the case, and speak from the facts.”

Li Huai was silent for a while: "If that's the case, let's rely on the Prime Minister. Cai Yan, you are the presiding judge of this case. I want all witnesses and material evidence in this case. If anyone dares to cover up or frame someone, he will be severely punished."

Lu Ding lowered his eyes, his eyes were scarlet.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and the sky became dark before Youshi, with no light from the sky.Vendors on the street had already closed their stalls and returned home when the strong wind came, and the bustling streets in the past were in depression.

In the Lu Family Garden on Xiaoxi Mountain outside the city, Mrs. Cui is leading Princess Fuxi to the backyard.

Princess Fuxi said with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry to disturb Mrs. Lu rashly."

Cui has always been depressed because of Lu Chengqian's death, and Auntie Huo took care of most of the family's affairs.It's just that Princess Fuxi came to visit unexpectedly, and she would welcome her personally no matter what.

Cui said with a smile: "How dare you? The eldest princess comes to the humble house, and the fluffy plants are shining."

Princess Fuxi tilted her head and said to Mrs. Meng: "Look, if the Lu's Bieyuan is a 'cold house', then ours is not a straw shed."

Mrs. Meng followed with a smile: "I've heard that the Lu's Bieyuan is elegant and deep, but seeing it today is really extraordinary. It's just that the weather is weird, so I can't let people have a good time to enjoy it."

Princess Fuxi also sighed: "That's what you said." Then she smiled and said: "But if it wasn't for the sudden strong wind, we would be trapped in the mountains and we would not have the chance to come to the Lu family garden. Madam Lu, change tomorrow The weather is good, I will have the cheek to come and disturb you."

Cui twitched the corners of her mouth, bit the bullet and said compliments.

If Lu Chengqian was still here, she would definitely welcome her very much.At that time, she discussed with Lu Zhan to marry the little princess, but now that Chengqian is gone, Mrs. Meng took advantage of the loophole.How could she not hate it.

Cui thought that this thought was hidden deep, but she didn't know that Princess Fuxi had already seen Cui's heart, and she felt disgusted.Although it was entrusted to come to the door today, Cui must be unhappy with Mrs. Meng wandering around in front of her eyes.She was not happy, but the princess was happy.

"... I heard that Xiaoxi Mountain has a beautiful view, so I invited Mrs. Meng to enjoy the scenery together. Who knows that the weather is not beautiful, and our own garden is far away, so I rushed to the door, and hoped that Mrs. Lu would not bother me. That's... ah!!!"

Mrs. Meng regained consciousness and pulled Princess Fuxi, shouting: "There are assassins!"

The maid beside him immediately guarded her left and right.

Cui Shi was already frightened when the man in black rushed over, tremblingly said: "There are assassins, there are assassins!"

The guards of the Eldest Princess Mansion heard the movement, but they didn't care about anything else. Some of them were left to protect the Eldest Princess, and the other part was to confront the assassin.

The eldest princess turned cold: "You must catch the assassin, I want to see who dares to assassinate without eyes!"

The men in black were outnumbered, fighting and retreating, and the guards did not relax, chasing them all the way.

Lu Zhan heard the commotion here, and hurriedly brought the nursing home to help out.Princess Fuxi is highly respected by the emperor, if something happened in his other garden, he would not be able to cut off his nine heads!

Lu Zhan ran over sweating profusely, and saw that the eldest princess was surrounded by guards, but she was not injured.As soon as he let go of his concern, he saw Steward Cheng pointing to the front with trembling fingers: "The front, the front is locked up!"

Lu Zhan followed the trend, his eyebrows twitched, and he said hurriedly, "Hurry up and catch the assassin!"

The small courtyard where the women were held was remote, and they might not be able to find it there. As long as they quickly took down the assassin and gave the eldest princess an explanation, the matter would be considered over.

He was in a hurry when he saw Aunt Huo rushing over with her skirt in her hand: "Master, a team of officials came outside, saying that the Criminal Department was ordered to investigate the case and wanted to search the other garden."

Lu Zhan's eyes darkened, and he could hardly stand up.

Princess Fuxi heard the words and said, "From the Ministry of Punishment?"

Aunt Huo should say: "They have an order from the emperor, they cannot stop them."

Princess Fuxi said: "Let them come in. My palace is here, and no one dares to do anything wrong. Mrs. Lu kindly took me in, and she must repay one or two. If those people dare to act recklessly, this palace will truthfully report to the emperor." Yes, Master Lu, rest assured."

Lu Zhan's feet softened, and he was even more worried.

The eldest princess, an assassin, an official from the Ministry of Criminal Justice... Lu Zhan's heart thumped.

Cui Shi has recovered from the fright just now, but now she heard that the Ministry of Punishment came, and she trembled again.I wondered in my heart whether the children in the clan had committed crimes recently.After thinking about it, I should check Cui's house even if there is one, but I can't find it here in Bieyuan.Could it be that the master caused trouble outside?

Mrs. Cui was in a state of confusion, and couldn't find a clue for a while, but she didn't know where to start.

Fan Zheng, the supervisor of the Ministry of Punishment, came to the garden unhindered. Seeing Princess Fuxi there, he was surprised and went to pay his respects.

The eldest princess raised her chin slightly: "I don't know why Master Fan is here?"

Fan Zhengdao: "Someone reported to Dali Temple that Mr. Lu was involved in a kidnapping case. The emperor ordered a strict investigation."

Lu Zhan tightened his face: "Slander, it's just slander!"

Fan Zheng smiled and said: "Many ministers don't believe it, but the rumors among the people are fierce, and the emperor also wants to return Mr. Lu's innocence, so he asked his subordinates to come to Bieyuan to investigate in person. If anyone makes a false accusation, he must be severely punished and give Mr. Lu an explanation." .”

Cui frowned and said: "My wife and my family have been coming to Bieyuan to escape the summer heat for several days, how do I know about trafficking."

Fan Zhengdao: "Whether it's a false accusation or not, you can find out if you find out..."

Lu Zhan said angrily: "Presumptuous, I am from the third grade Guanglu Temple Qing, how can I allow you to investigate as soon as you say it?"

Fan Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he still smiled and said: "The emperor is waiting for the next official to return to his life. Is it possible that Mr. Lu has some ghosts in his heart?"

Lu Zhan was furious.I wanted to say more, but suddenly there was a sound of fighting from the side, and Lu Zhan secretly yelled that it was not good.

Fan Zheng said: "Lord Lu, I'm an official who bears the emperor's order, and I hope Lord Lu will not make things difficult." He waved his hands behind him, and the officials filed in.

Princess Fuxi also followed.Cui didn't know why, but saw Lu Zhan's face was pale, and his heart sank.Gritting his teeth and glaring at him, he followed closely.

Aunt Huo had a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, but it didn't show on her face.She walked over and said softly: "Master, let's go and have a look too, don't tell those people to do anything."

Before Lu Zhan had time to think, he was dragged to the side courtyard by steward Cheng.

A pile of corpses lay outside the courtyard.When the wind blew, bloody air rushed towards his face, and Lu Zhan shivered suddenly.

He looked left and right, but he couldn't see those women, and he was suspicious.The strange thing about the assassin's arrival seems to be that there was news in Beijing, and his elder brother sent someone to attack.This matter should not be publicized.He rolled his eyes and hurriedly shouted: "Here, these are the people who assassinated the eldest princess! Sir Fan, report this matter to the emperor immediately."

The chief guard of the Princess's Mansion stepped forward and reported: "This subordinate chased the assassins all the way here, and found that these assassins were trying to break into the side courtyard. Before I came down to ask, these assassins turned to attack this subordinate and others. I want to arrest and interrogate, but the assassins are all dead men, and they all swallowed poison and died."

The eldest princess's face was cold, and her eyes fell on the side courtyard: "Go and see what's in the side courtyard, it's worth these people's desperate trespass."

The head guard bowed and said yes.

Lu Zhan raised his hand to stop him, but the chief guard didn't give him a chance. He raised the knife still dripping blood in his hand, and broke the lock with one blow.The courtyard door was opened against the wind, and the intermittent sobbing sound drifted into everyone's ears with the wind.

Fan Zheng led the team into the side courtyard, and when he came out, his face was not very good-looking.

Mrs. Meng looked on tiptoe, and saw that there were twelve young girls following Fan Zheng.These women are all beautiful and touching, they are about to cry, they are even weaker and boneless, and they are lovable.

There was something Cui didn't understand.People have already taken the evidence, waiting for someone to steal it and get it!

The eldest princess glanced at Lu Zhan coldly, then turned her face to Cui Shi.Seeing that her face was pale and her face was shocked, it seemed that she didn't know about it.

"Mrs. Lu, even if I bumped into this matter, I can't ignore it. My Daqi strictly forbids human trafficking. Mr. Lu knows how to break the law. It's really..." She looked a little embarrassed.

Cui's reaction was quick: "What the eldest princess said is true, but, just..."

The facts are all there, Rao is Cui's delicate body, she doesn't know what to say at this moment.

Fan Zheng stepped forward and said, "Eldest Princess, the stolen goods have been seized at the moment, but the specific reasons need to be reviewed by Mr. Cai. The next official needs to temporarily detain Mr. Lu."

Princess Fuxi nodded: "It should be like this according to the law."

Lu Zhan was paralyzed.Aunt Huo whispered: "Master, go with them, Mr. Xiang will not just watch you be convicted."

Hope rekindled in Lu Zhan's heart, yes, he is Lu Ding's eldest brother.The Lu family has no separate families, one prospers and the other loses.

Mrs. Cui also knew this, so she didn't stop her anymore, but quietly gave Fan Zheng some silver, and asked him to take care of him.

Aunt Huo lowered her head and sneered, this was just the beginning.
