Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Of course, Miss Lu's family is not the child of the second master of the Lu family in Xu Zhikou, but the daughter of the eldest master of the Lu family.Judging from the information sent by the magistrate, the second master of the Lu family is a loafer, relying on his own brother who can make money, he has to take several beautiful concubines into the mansion every year, not to mention the daily behavior of going in and out of brothels .

Naturally, what he said must be obeyed. Since Xu Zhi was willing to use his life as a mortgage, Zhou Xingzhi followed his will and chose a general judge who solved more cases, and asked him to take a team of personal guards to the Lu family to investigate first. Condition.

The second master of the Lu family didn't know that catastrophe was imminent, and he said arrogantly in the bamboo house in the courtyard, "Manman, it's not that the second uncle said you, the elder brother is not in good health, you should get married earlier, Then big brother won't have to worry about your marriage."

"Second Uncle was joking. Daddy only has me as a child. Of course, I can't marry. Otherwise, who will guard the family business my dad has earned." Lu Man said with a half-hearted smile.

I already have a husband-in-law who is going to marry in name, why is the second uncle still not giving up on the family business?It's just a person who is idle and ignorant. If the Lu family's family business really falls into his hands, the decline will only be a matter of time.

"You don't need to worry about this, Manman. Although I don't understand business matters very well, I will still manage these industries well like my elder brother." The second master of the Lu family is not a thin-skinned person. Man almost made it clear, and he can still speak with a cheeky face.

"Besides, even if I can only be successful, you still have so many cousins. At that time, there will always be one or two smart ones who can take the eldest brother's property to a higher level."

"Second Uncle, my dad is just sick, are you going to put your hand in our place?" Lu Man was also defeated by Lu Second Uncle's shameless attitude, what is the difference between this kind of person and a rascal?

"Manman, look at the husband-in-law you have chosen. He is just an ordinary person with no roots. If you marry him, the family business will fall into the hands of an outsider?" Second Uncle Lu said , and glanced at the man standing not far away.

I don't know where Lu Man got this man from. He has a bad temper and hard temper. He put money and beauty aside, so he followed Lu Man's ass with all his heart.

"Second Uncle, are you trying to seize my family's property?" Lu Man's heart grew more and more angry, and she didn't bother to go around with Second Uncle Lu.

"What are you talking about? We are a family. If the eldest brother can't make it through, what if I, the younger brother, take over the family business?" Second Uncle Lu said with obvious pride in his eyes.No matter how much money his elder brother can make, it's not like he doesn't have a son. If he kicks his legs this time, the whole Lu family will be his own.

"Second Master, Eldest Miss, there are a bunch of military masters at the door, saying they are here to investigate the case." The concierge ran over panting to report.

Before Second Uncle Lu could ask anything, the guards came in directly from the door, and dozens of people surrounded the main house.

After seeing the guards coming in, Bai Hu, who was standing in a daze at a distance, became excited. If the rationality in his head didn't hold him back, he would have happily gone to stand with the guards.

The pro-guards are all wearing a full set of armor for protection, and their aura is much heavier than that of ordinary government servants.So after seeing these people, Uncle Lu felt a little guilty subconsciously.

After finally finding someone he knew in the crowd, Second Uncle Lu quickly went up to chat, "Master Tongju, what's going on, is it someone from our Lu family who made a mistake?"

Tongpan knew Second Uncle Lu, and even accepted his favor.But now is not the time to reminisce about the past. If His Majesty finds out what relationship he has with Second Uncle Lu, he will definitely be implicated.

"You are Lu Tongsheng?" Tong Pan looked at Uncle Lu with an unfamiliar face, "The second master of the Lu family?"

"Master Tong San, what are you talking about? Don't you know who I am?" Second Uncle Lu was a little confused. Some time ago, he met this Tong San in a restaurant and treated him to a meal. It's a meal.

"Xu Zhi sued you for murdering his sister ten years ago. His Majesty has accepted the case and ordered me to go to the Lu Mansion first to check the situation." The judge said with a straight face, "Lu Tongsheng, can you plead guilty?"

Uncle Lu stayed where he was, and it took him a while to realize what Tong San said, "What are you talking about, my lord, Cao Min is a good and law-abiding person. Although I am usually greedy for beauty, I always treat the person I like in a serious manner." Married back home, I dare not say anything about murder."

The expression on Uncle Lu's face was full of grievances, but his heart was already too panicked.Xu Zhi, this bastard, why is he still alive? Is the Wan family a fart?

"Since you have not pleaded guilty, then I would like to trouble Master Lu Er not to move around here, we will search." Tong Juan said with a straight face.

"This..." Second Uncle Lu was a little hesitant. This happened ten years ago, and his room has been renovated several times. There shouldn't be any messy evidence.

Before Second Uncle Lu could think about what to say, eight guards stood up, asked the room where Second Uncle Lu was, and opened the door to search.

The guards were quite disciplined, they didn't turn Uncle Lu's room into a mess, they just knocked every corner very carefully and checked every decoration.

Just as Uncle Lu thought, not to mention that the scene of the crime ten years ago was not here, even if it was here, ten years later, there would be no traces left.

"Military masters, be careful. The ornaments here are all antiques that I bought with a lot of money, so don't smash them." After a short period of panic, Uncle Lu's mentality also stabilized.

Evidence will definitely not be found, as long as he denies it, even if His Majesty is here, he cannot be forced to confess!That's it!

After searching for about a quarter of an hour, several guards came out of Second Uncle Lu's room, and one of them came out with something in his hand.

"Several military lords, these things should have nothing to do with the case the adults said, right?" After looking at the things in the hand of the guard, Uncle Lu became uncertain again.Although I put all my important things outside, I can't guarantee that I missed something in the room. It must not be so bad luck to be found, right?

"Lu Tongsheng, you are now the defendant or the suspect, so don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." The judge warned.Why is this Lu Tongsheng so stupid? At this time, he must have said less and made fewer mistakes. He is still talking about something. Do you feel that there are not enough suspicions on him?

After hearing Tong San's words, Second Uncle Lu shut up embarrassingly.

"My lord, will His Majesty come over in person later?" Lu Man asked tentatively.

The judge nodded, "Until the matter is cleared up, please don't go out in the Lu Mansion. If there is something that must be done, we must send someone to follow before we can go out."

Lu Man nodded, and her eyes fell on Baihu behind her, hoping that Lu Tongsheng's mistakes had nothing to do with the Lu family, otherwise the Lu family would be in danger.

Zhou Xingzhi didn't rush to Lu's house right away, but ate a meal and took a nap with Ye Ningxuan and Zhong Qingyi slowly, and set off after recharging his energy.

When Zhou Xingzhi arrived at the Lu Mansion, the judge had already interrogated Second Uncle Lu. Although he didn't ask anything definite, he still wrote a statement, which explained in detail how many wives and concubines Second Uncle Lu had. How many children do these wives and concubines have?The family property and expenses are all recorded on it.

After Zhou Xingzhi looked at the confessions of several journals, the expression on his face changed slightly, "The magistrate said that you are the judge who is the best at judging cases. It has been half a day, and this is your result?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Because there is no evidence about Lu Tongsheng's crime, I just adopted the investigation method of general inquiry and did not use punishment." Tong Juan immediately knelt down and apologized. , but Lu Tongsheng's mouth was too rigid, and he basically didn't get any useful news.

As for the others, he didn't dare to ask, and Lu Tongsheng didn't dare to answer either.

"Your Majesty, this is what was found in Lu Tongsheng's room." Under Zhou Xingzhi's gaze, the small captain of the pro-guard army stood up, "There are thirteen letters in total, and three letters that have not been sent out. post, two ledgers."

"What is recorded in the ledger?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

"The daily expenses were recorded, and my subordinates took a look at it, and it was basically the expenses for buying gifts." Qin Wei said.

"Gift?" Zhong Qingyi was excited, "Who is the gift for? Is there a record in the ledger?"

The personal guard hesitated for a moment, "Yes, according to my calculations, it should be a gift for some girls' homes. They are all rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry."

"No other gifts?" Zhong Qingyi asked.This is unscientific. According to the costume dramas I watched before, shouldn’t the ledgers found should be bribery ledgers, and the records on them are all given to which officials?

"Your Majesty, not at all. Apart from these, the rest are the purchases of antique calligraphy and paintings, most of which can be matched with the things in the warehouse." Qin Wei said, they have not been idle for a long time, and have already found The housekeeper checked some of the accounts.

"Your Majesty knows that the grassroots are wronged." Uncle Lu also began to express his opinion, "The grassroots are just a little greedy for beauty, and the grassroots will never do things that violate the law and discipline."

"Really?" Zhou Xingzhi smiled, "If you lie to me, I can cut off your head. Let me ask you one last time, have you really done anything illegal?"

"..." He didn't do anything against the law and discipline, so Second Uncle Lu really didn't dare to agree to this.He can be sure that the events of ten years ago will not be found out, but he is not sure that the events of ten days ago will not be found out either.

"I dare not promise, it seems there are still." Zhou Xingzhi smiled, instead of continuing to hold on to this, he turned his attention to Lu Man, "Miss Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

After hearing Zhou Xingzhi's words, Lu Man breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty seemed to have accepted the 10 taels of silver, "Minnv, thank you for your majesty's concern. Minnv's father is not in good health, so he didn't care too much. Gotta eat."

"That can't be done, the body is the most important thing." Zhou Xingzhi said, this is his God of Wealth, he can't suffer, "What disease does your father suffer from?"

"Father was overworked, and his body collapsed immediately." Lu Man said, "The doctor said that we can only take a good rest and eat some nourishing food."

"I will ask the imperial physician to come over later to see if there is any better way." Zhou Xingzhi said.

Lu Man was very kind, and immediately knelt down to salute, "Father is ill and cannot thank you, and the daughter of the people thanked His Majesty instead of father."

"Mianli, Miss Lu, you are also my friend. If you have any difficulties, just tell me." Zhou Xingzhi's attitude towards Lu Man was very good, and he never said anything serious.

After this scene fell into Uncle Lu's eyes, his heart began to feel cold.

What kind of shit luck did this girl Lu Man have to be taken in by His Majesty!If Lu Man became His Majesty's person and entered the palace, how could he beat her!At that time, according to Lu Man's personality, I'm afraid I won't get any money!

By the way, Lu Man has a fiancé, and now there are two of them!Even if His Majesty likes Lu Man, it is impossible for him to want such a person!

The author has something to say: rub hands

Zhou Xingzhi: Nonsense!I'm not looking at Lu Man's people, but her money! ! !
