Chapter 497 This must be a prank
Dali Temple Qing Lu Qiu looked at the unfolded letters placed on the table, and didn't know how to suck his face for a moment.
Is this a performer? A "dead person" is here to sue? Should he be so novel? Not to mention how tortuous the plot is, the victim claims to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and was wrongly accused and adultered by the Gu family and poisoned to death. Just say that the righteous man from the martial arts world not only helped commit suicide, but also helped deliver the paper in this way? Is this saving or killing people? No matter how you look at it, why is it unreliable!
Lu Qiu looked at the person below and asked, "Do you believe the content on the paper?"
The subordinate who was asked choked and hesitated: "I have heard some rumors about the Gu family before, but... but it seems that it is not so outrageous."
"So you don't believe it?" Lu Qiu looked at his subordinates.
The subordinate smiled awkwardly, and before he could speak, he listened to Lu Qiu and said again: "I don't believe it either." He raised his eyes and looked at his subordinate, "Although the Gu family has lost the Gu Xiang, the foundation is still there. Do you think such a ridiculous thing will easily spread it?"
Surely not! It will definitely be hidden.
"Besides," Lu Qiu said, narrowing his eyes, "Isn't the Leng family still moving?" If the Leng family didn't move, even if this matter was true, he would not feel that it would be done.
Just kidding, just a piece of paper, you want to be a plaintiff without even coming? The Gu family is still suing it. How big is it about this? He will take the content on the paper seriously after he gets it.
The subordinate pondered his boss's intentions and said, "This must be a prank!"
"Well, since it's a prank, I don't have to pay attention!" Lu Qiu waved with satisfaction when he heard this, "Okay, take this letter away!"
At this time, several masters of the Leng family who were mentioned by Lu Qiu were gathering in the study of the head of the family, looking at the letter from the outside world in front of him.
Leng Siyi's sister-in-law finally couldn't stand the depression. She pointed to the letter and broke the silence and said, "Father, this is not something that people outside want to see our jokes deliberately made up? Do you think Siyi stayed in Gu's house all year round, how could she know outsiders?"
As soon as Mrs. Leng spoke, four people present looked at her.
It is rare to be taken so seriously, but Sister Leng couldn't be happy and said, "And this letter is very obvious. Siyi is asking us to sue the Gu family! But did my father forget that you have seen that adulterer with your own eyes! Besides, there are four sisters..."
If the previous words were heard, the head of the Leng family might refute it, but the last sentence directly made him dispel the idea of refuting.
Thinking of his concubine daughter, he also wanted to marry into the Gu family and help the Leng family shine again!
Seeing that her father-in-law seemed to have firmed her mind, Sister Leng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a pity that she didn't help her sister-in-law. Her reputation was really ruined. It would be fine if she made a big deal, what would it affect her children's future?
Not only her children, but there are several unmarried daughters in the family! She doesn't believe that her father-in-law doesn't consider other children.
Now that the Leng family is in trouble again, her sister-in-law didn't help her at the beginning, but she finally got caught. She believed that her father-in-law would give up the pain for the family.
As long as my father-in-law feels relieved and my mother-in-law is afraid of her father-in-law, she will let go no matter what she doesn’t want to.
The room fell silent again, and the three of them looked at the head of the Leng family, each with their own thoughts.
Seeing that he had not spoken, the eldest sister-in-law of the Leng family was worried that there would be a change, so she quietly pulled the sleeves of her man. Instead of looking at each other, the eldest brother of the Leng family frowned and said, "Father, maybe Siyi was unable to think about it for a while, it was not necessarily necessary to do this on purpose. She just wanted us to worry. You think, my sister has been staying in the Gu family. If something happened, there should have been news from the Gu family, but now there is no news over there. So why not let us wait and wait before talking about it?"
He didn't want to offend the Gu family. Now his family is counting on the Gu family. Among the few relationships that can be left, the Gu family is undoubtedly the biggest one. Therefore, he must not have a grudge because of Leng Siyi. Even if Leng Siyi doesn't help, she will always cause trouble. Even if something really happens, she will find it herself!
The head of the Leng family looked at his son, and while thinking, the mistress of the Leng family was hesitating, "Master, why don't we go and see Yi'er?"
"Swish", the head of the Leng family suddenly turned his eyes, and the mistress of the Leng family immediately shrank her neck, "Everything, everything is listened to the master!"
The head of the Leng family glared at his daughter without a trace, and he was obviously dissatisfied with her. However, he said nothing in front of the child. He only slowly spoke after nearly a cup of tea: "Well, Yi'er has been used to being naughty since she was a child, so it's time to calm down."
He looked down at the letter, then gently clicked the table: "Okay, I'll pretend I don't know about this for the time being!"
At the same time, except for the Censorate who was inexplicably excited when he saw this letter, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate decided to wait and see.
However, the Censorate wanted to capture Gu Hongjun's tail, but he could not really rely on such a piece of paper. Therefore, for a moment, the paper that Sheng Xi threw out was suppressed, whether in the Leng family or the Yamen.
But this was not expected by Sheng Xi, so just as these people tried their best to cover it up, almost overnight, the streets and alleys of Luojing City began to talk about this matter, and the speed of the conversation was sweeping!
Gu Hongjun had just arrived at the yamen and was still thinking leisurely about how to get through today's day, but found that several colleagues suddenly looked at him with something wrong.
If it was a couple, it would be easy to say that there were people who didn’t like him, but there were so many people all of a sudden, Gu Hongjun’s heart skipped a beat and hurriedly grabbed a colleague whom he had been acquainted on weekdays and asked, “What’s going on? Is there something wrong with my clothes today? Why do everyone look at me with that look?”
Some are disgusted, some are shocked, some are complicated and inexplicable, but in any case they can't make him happy.
The man was pulled to know that he could not hide anymore. He sighed and looked at him indescribable words.
Gu Hongjun was anxious and urged: "Don't sigh! You said! What happened?"
The man looked at him with a complicated look and asked, "Brother Gu, do you really know what happened?"
"I really don't know!" Gu Hongjun was anxious, "Oh, don't keep it in hiding, talk about it quickly!"
"Ahem, that," the man saw that he didn't know how to speak for a while. After thinking about it, he picked the most critical point of asking Gu Hongjun, "Brother Gu, your eldest daughter-in-law... is still at home?"
"Hmm?" Gu Hongjun was stunned, "Of course! What did my eldest daughter-in-law do?"
"Hey, don't get it wrong! Don't get it wrong! I'll just say, the news must be fake!" The man hurriedly explained, "Brother Gu, don't get it wrong!"
"No, what news is fake? You..."
"Master! Master!" Before Gu Hongjun asked again, a servant of the Gu family suddenly rushed over and said breathlessly, "Master, go home quickly! Something big has happened!"
