Chapter 102 Clues
Song Jingchen was confused when he heard this. He thought that Lu Huaixiang in front of him was rushing to take charge of his father's case to plead guilty for Lu Guozheng. Who knew what these words she said meant now. In short, even Song Jingchen could not guess what she was thinking.
"Huai Xiang... I just thought you were your father because he was yours, so I didn't expect you to be so clear about right and wrong. It seems that the emperor really did not choose the wrong person."
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Song Jingchen quickly changed the subject.
"Can your father bully the people with his own power? Can your father destroy humanity in order to fight for power?" Liu Qingyan was a little excited. She shouldn't have told Song Jingchen about this.
Song Jingchen was stunned by the side, not knowing what to say for a long time.
"Okay, Prime Minister Song... It's because the official made a mistake, but please come back..." Liu Qingyan issued the order to expel guests again. If he didn't leave, he would be unreasonable.
Song Jingchen kept thinking on the road, how could Lu Huaixiang be completely different from before?
In the past, she would be so happy that she could not express herself if she smiled at her. If she smiled at her, she would do anything for herself, even if her life was at stake.
But why did Lu Huaixiang not even look at her directly? Could it be that time that really hurt her heart? But when she mentioned that incident today, Lu Huaixiang didn't have too much emotion in her eyes. This is really a puzzling woman.
The housekeeper was a little curious about why his master was absent-minded when he came back. He only heard that he went to the prefect of Beijing early this morning and that was what he looked like when he came back.
"Master, it's time for you to have a meal."
"You do something for me." Song Jingchen seemed to have not heard what the butler said.
The butler put his ears on, heard Song Jingchen whispering a few times, and then hurried out.
Song Jingchen thought to himself, since Lu Huaixiang wanted to be a clean official and find out about her father's activities, let her investigate. Anyway, this immortal is still coveting his position as prime minister, and he just took his daughter's hand to bring him down and let him taste what despair is.
"Check, I'll help you check together." He showed a sinister smile.
Liu Qingyan was still at a loss. She came to Lu Mansion and prepared to meet her father for a while.
When Lu Guozheng saw that Liu Qing was going home and was about to say something to her, he suddenly thought of what the rebellious prefect in Beijing did to him, so he turned his back angrily.
"It turns out that he is the prefect of the capital. I don't know what the lord came to the government to do? But he found the remarks that wrongly accused the villain again?"
Lu Guozheng spoke with thorns every word. He blamed his daughter for not helping him, but he was still embarrassed by the prefect in Beijing.
"Unforgivable? Do you know whether my father is wronged?" Liu Qingyan sneered. How could this person be so shameless? He even said that he was wronged.
"Mr. Jing Prefecture, you must ask for evidence when speaking." Lu Guozheng seemed very confident. He was sure that Liu Qingyan could not find any evidence, so he dared to be so arrogant.
"I advise you not to take advantage of your mistakes. There is no airtight wall in the world. If you are only willing to ask for it after you find out, it would be too late."
Liu Qingyan did not come back to Lu's mansion this time to quarrel with him. She just wanted to see if there were any clues available in the Lu's mansion.
"That depends on whether you can find it." Lu Guozheng was still full of energy, and seemed to have never done anything wrong.
"Do you think it's enough to cover the fire? Besides, don't you think I'm just that blazing flame?"
"Don't forget, I'm your real father!" Lu Guozheng was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he pointed at her and roared.
"When you abandoned my mother and I in Meixian and went to the capital alone to gain power and value, you thought about you as my real father?"
"You threw me into the Du Mansion as a maid and let me endure the bullying of Du Yuyan and the servants of the Du Mansion every day, have you ever thought about you being my father?"
"When I was thrown to death by you in the snow just because I heard you talk to Lord Du outside the mansion that day, I was thrown to death by you in the snow. Have you ever thought about you being my real father?"
"When I was almost sold to the Khitan as a prostitute by your wife and Du Yuyan, did you think you were my real father?"
"Shut up, then aren't you still alive now? Without me, do you think you can get close to the emperor and become the prefect of the capital?" Lu Guozheng interrupted her, just because her words hurt Lu Guozheng's heart.
He never regretted it, but it was too late to say this now.
"I rely on my own abilities." Liu Qingyan thought of Lu Huaixiang and felt that this girl was very pitiful. She had a miserable life, but in the end she died tragically at the hands of her biological father in Huajishi.
"Huai Xiang, do you still hate your father?" Lu Guozheng calmed down. After all, he had really thought a lot over the past period of time, about the days before.
"I don't hate you because I have long felt that I have no father anymore. When my mother died, I was already an orphan."
Although Liu Qingyan didn't know whether she should be the leader for Lu Huaixiang this time, she understood from the bottom of her heart that if Lu Huaixiang was still alive, she would never forgive him.
Lu Guozheng didn't know what to say. Although he regretted it, the most important thing at the moment was to save his life. This is not his life alone. There are too many people involved, and he cannot take risks with this matter.
Lu Yujian is also his own son. If he really has any problems, the Lu family will be completely finished and the future of the jade sword will be over.
Song Jingchen searched for a long time and finally found some clues about the old fox. In fact, it was easy to find Lu Guozheng, but many things would involve the Du family. If you continue to investigate, it would be unrelated to him.
He came to the prefectural prefect alone. When he saw Lu Huaixiang with a frustrated look on his face, he knew that she had not made any progress. He was inevitably a little happy. This might be a good opportunity.
"Huai Xiang, I found some things for you, why don't you see if it's useful?" Song Jingchen smiled wickedly. In Liu Qingyan's opinion, the man's face clearly stated: I am a bad person, I have a purpose.
But the most important thing now is to investigate the case. The emperor's deadline is not sufficient. If she cannot find useful clues, her life will probably be in danger.
She opened the file that Song Jingchen gave him. Although this incident was not surprising to Lu Guozheng, she still gritted her teeth with hatred.
After Lu Guozheng abandoned his wife and children, he married a lady from the official family, namely, a lady of the Du family. When the lady of the Du family was pregnant, Lu Guozheng bullied a girl from a poor family. When he learned that the girl was pregnant, he wanted to use money to send the woman to the death when she could not hide it.
Later, when Mrs. Lu learned about this, she was furious and thought that the woman seduced Lu Guozheng, so she had someone become her child and sold her to a brothel, allowing others to ruin her.
The woman's parents found Lu Guo and were about to make an explanation, but were beaten to death by Lu Guozheng. After burning the body, the family's house was burned.
"It seems that he really likes to use fire. No matter what, it will be solved with just one fire." Liu Qingyan said coldly.
"As far as I know, the woman is still picking up customers in Wanhua Tower. Because she looks older, she is now disliked in Wanhua Tower, so she may not be able to survive." Song Jingchen said.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Song. I'll send someone to take this woman to the prefect of Beijing. I'll ask her to testify at that time. I'm afraid she won't refuse to report it to Lu Guozheng after so much."
"Have Lord Lu forgotten the previous incident of the peasant woman and the county magistrate? I think the prefect of the capital has a unclean person, so I helped Lord Lu take the person to our mansion in advance and asked Lord Lu to move to the Prime Minister's mansion."
Song Jingchen didn't think so much. He brought the person to the Prime Minister's Mansion just to have more contact with Lu Huaixiang. In this way, her impression of herself might be a little different.
Liu Qingyan didn't think so much, but when she had the opportunity, she followed Song Jingchen desperately.
The brothel woman is now full of dust. Thinking that she was also an innocent girl in the past, Liu Qingyan was so angry that she was so angry that she was itchy.
"Qing'er paid a visit to the official. I don't know what crime Qing'er committed, but he actually provoked two officials..." The woman in the hall was obviously a little nervous. She didn't know what she did in Wanhualou and would offend the people in the officialdom.
"You get up and talk. We are not asking you for guilt, but just asking you something."
The woman stood up tremblingly, holding the corner of her clothes with both hands, and lowered her head and biting her lips tightly.
"Sixteen years ago, you and Lord Lu Guozheng..." Before Liu Qingyan finished speaking, the people in the hall knelt down again.
"Sir, Caomin was wronged. Caomin really didn't know that he was Lord Lu. He only made up one name. Caomin saw that he was extraordinary and secretly expressed his heart..."
She spoke very quickly and almost got angry.
"It was only later that I realized that he already had a family, and Caomin paid the price..." The woman's face was full of tears, thinking that after sixteen years, their family would still refuse to let him go.
"You misunderstood. We all know about that. We just hope you can write a paper and draw a note, and we will make the decision for you."
"Officials, please spare the Caomin. How can a slut, a slut, compete with the imperial court? I hope the official will spare the Caomin's life." The woman actually rejected Liu Qingyan, which made her a little anxious, but she could understand the woman.
"Qing'er, right?" Song Jingchen, who was silent on the side, looked for a long time before speaking.
"Qing'er, do you know how your parents got there?"
"It's just because of a fire..." Qing'er's face showed an indescribable expression when she heard Song Jingchen mention her parents again.
