"Sir, please spare me. These things are not my business. He asked me to do them. If I don't do them, he would..." The county magistrate quickly begged for mercy in front of the hall.

"Don't make a quibble, it's not your business? As a parent official, you not only did not ask for a date, but actually colluded with local bullies and forced the defendant to death, but you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you." Liu Qingyan shouted at the county magistrate.

"Sir, please be careful, villain is wronged." The county magistrate kept shouting injustice.

"Sujing, come here, let's take County Magistrate Hu to the prison for the time being to be sent down."

The county magistrate took the yamen runner down, and Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Guozheng in the lobby.

When he found out that Lu Guozheng could stand safely in the lobby at this time, he heard that County Magistrate Hu had been pointing out to him in court, he had no intention of refuting.

Liu Qingyan thought Lu Guozheng was going to give up his refusal and admitted that he had committed a crime, but what she didn't expect was...

"Lu Guozheng, do you have anything else to say?" Liu Qingyan shouted Lu Guozheng's name in the hall and scolded him sternly.

Lu Guozheng looked at Liu Qingyan and smiled, "I have never seen this person before. Someone must be accusing me of Lu Guozheng. Who complained in front of the emperor must be that person who was accusing me."

Liu Qingyan could not have imagined that Lu Guozheng could still argue like this in the face of this ironclad evidence.

"This matter was personally supervised by the Emperor's order. You have to think clearly whether you asked the county magistrate to do this in fact." Liu Qingyan continued to ask.

"I am a first-rank official of the court. How could I conspire with a small ninth-rank county magistrate? Normal people can know that this is impossible. Don't you see that he is slandering?" Lu Guozhengya denied what the county magistrate just said.

"Since you said I was guilty and said that I, Lu Guo, colluded with the county magistrate just now, please provide evidence. Just by saying a few words from the man, how can you convict the first-rank official of the court?"

When Liu Qingyan heard Lu Guozheng say this, she also felt that what he said was quite reasonable. Now the court is full of the words of peasant women and county magistrates, and there is no evidence.

If Lu Guozheng was convicted in this way, he would probably not have any approval documents when the case was handed over to Dali Temple for retrial in the future.

"Since you said that, I will find evidence for you to see, and see how you deny it at that time." Liu Qingyan said loudly.

"Then I'll wait for your evidence in the Lu Mansion. Don't waste my time like this before you find the evidence." After saying that, Lu Guozheng turned around and left.

Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Guozheng's back and there was no way. Although he knew that it must be Lu Guo who was in charge behind the scenes at this time, there was no evidence now.

Liu Qingyan has Shangfang’s sword in her hand, but she can’t do anything without evidence.

"Get out of town." After saying that, Liu Qingyan walked to the back hall.

She had just walked to the corner, and because she had been thinking about the loophole in Lu Guo's words just now and had no idea what to look at, Liu Qingyan suddenly bumped into Lu Siguan's chest.

"Who is standing here for what?" Liu Qingyan complained, looking up, it turned out to be Lu Siguan.

A few days ago, Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan had a little unhappy relationship with her entry into the prefectural prefecture as an official, and they had not met for a while.

She didn't expect that Lu Siguan would come to the prefectural yamen in Beijing.

"What are you doing?" Liu Qingyan asked with a pout, obviously still angry with Lu Siguan for what happened before.

"Isn't this Beijing Prefecture Order I just want to come and go? Besides, why didn't you ask the yamen runners to notify me in advance when you tried the case today?" Lu Siguan was obviously a little angry.

In Lu Siguan's mind, he had to know the progress of all the cases of Liu Qingyan and everyone she had contacted. After all, the capital was a place of trouble, and now Liu Qingyan has attracted the attention of all the civil and military officials in the court.

The leader was Song Jingchen. Although Song Jingchen first came up with the idea of ​​asking Liu Qingyan to investigate his father Lu Guozheng, he did not expect that the emperor would trust Liu Qingyan so much and hand over the Shangfang sword to her.

Song Jingchen knew that another storm in the capital was about to be announced. Although this storm cannot be compared with the last time when the Nine Thousand Years were in the past, it was also a hurricane.

He must also prepare himself early and not let it affect him at this time. If that happens, it would be like lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

"Why should I notify you? It was the emperor who asked me to be responsible. Besides, I have already issued a military order to the emperor, so you don't have to participate. You can stay wherever you cool down." Liu Qingyan said angrily.

"What are you talking about? You became the prefect of the capital, and the emperor also ordered me, Lu Si, to watch you." Lu Si, replied.

"Wait... don't misinterpret the emperor's meaning. The emperor asked you to assist me, not to let you take care of me, so I don't have to, and I don't have the obligation to notify you." Liu Qingyan still refused to give in.

Seeing that there were two masters behind Lu Siguan, Lu waved his hand to signal the two to retreat.

The two left with tactful sensibility, leaving only Lu Siguan and Liu Qingyan in the back hall. Lu Siguan walked to Liu Qingyan with one hand, pressed her against the wall, and pressed her against the strong, looking straight into Liu Qingyan's eyes.

At first, Liu Qingyan looked directly with Lu Siguan with her eyes, but after a while, Lu Siguan broke the defense line and slowly buried her head.

Lu Siguan used the middle finger of his other hand to hold Liu Qingyan's chin and force her to look at him.

After looking at each other for a while, Lu Si looked at Liu Qingyan's red smiling face, and felt inexplicably throbbing.

Since Lu Siguan was one head higher than Liu Qingyan, he slowly lowered his head and his lips slowly approached Liu Qingyan's mouth.

Liu Qingyan slowly closed her eyes and gave up her last line of defense against Lu Siguan.

At this time, Liu Qingyan was eager for Lu Siguan's hot lips, and the feeling of love she had once expected appeared in her heart.

Just as Lu Siguan was about to kiss Liu Qingyan on his lips, she pushed Lu Siguan away.

At that moment, she almost used up all her strength, and Lu Siguan also saw Liu Qing's white cheeks.

Lu Siguan didn't know what happened. The last moment was still so beautiful, but at this moment it was...

Lu Siguan stood aside for no reason. He found that Liu Qingyan's eyes were actually crying, and he began to become a little nervous.

He hoped in his heart that hope was not because of his recklessness that Liu Qingyan was so sad.

The sadness that came out of Liu Qingyan's eyes seemed to make the air feel sad, and he could fully feel the sadness in Liu Qingyan's heart.

Lu Siguan didn't know what to say, he just stood there quietly with Liu Qingyan.

The moment Lu Siguan was about to kiss Liu Qingyan, Qin Muyu suddenly appeared in Liu Qingyan's mind.

What emerged in Liu Qingyan's mind was that Qin Muyu's decisive look towards Liu Qingyan was the smiling face when he pushed her into the snake cave.

She deeply remembered that Qin Muyu had treated herself like this.

I also had this feeling of Qin Muyu, the difference is that I was still young at that time and had never had any contact with other men.

The love in Liu Qingyan's mind is all the love in the Four Books and Five Classics, the Book of Songs, and the love in Li Sao, and the love in her mind is all beautiful.

It was this ignorance that made her pay the price of blood. The whole family of the Liu family, his own son...

She loved Qin Muyu so deeply, but was abandoned and trampled on her dignity ruthlessly. When this feeling came again, Liu Qingyan was a little scared.

Although he knew that Lu Siguan and Qin Muyu were not the same person at all, there was a fundamental difference between them.

At the beginning, Liu Qingyan also wanted to endure the severe pain in her heart and accept Lu Siguan, but she still couldn't do it in the end.

The more suppressed this idea, the more he would think about it. The closer Lu Siguan was to him, the more obvious this idea would be. In the end, she could not bear it.

Liu Qingyan knew that Qin Muyu was a knot in her heart. Only by opening this knot with her own hands can she accept Lu Siguan in the future, otherwise...

I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Qingyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up at Lu Siguan, and didn’t say anything.

Lu Siguan saw in Liu Qingyan's eyes, her apologies for herself and her grievances in her heart.

"If you have anything, you can tell me that everything will be fine." Lu Siguan said softly, and then gently embraced Liu Qingyan into his arms.

Lu Siguan's hug at this time was worth thousands of words. Liu Qingyan did not struggle, but just leaned quietly on Lu Siguan's chest. Listening to Lu Siguan's sonorous and powerful heartbeat, she could clearly feel that this heartbeat was different from Qin Muyu's.

"I'm a little tired, take me to the back mountain." Liu Qingyan said softly in Lu Siguan's arms.

Without saying a word, Lu Siguan took Liu Qingyan directly to the back mountain of the imperial city where he came. He brought Liu Qingyan to the top of the mountain. It was already sunset.

Under the reflection of the sunset, the capital looks particularly beautiful, with smoke and white clouds, and the air is filled with fragrance.

"It's so beautiful. This is the first time I've overlooked the entire capital here." Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Siguan and said.

"I often come here. I was alone before, but this time I feel very different." Lu Siguan said with a smile.

Liu Qingyan's face was reflected by the sunset, and I don't know if it was because her face turned red or because it was shining red by the sunset.

"What a great place. I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful place in this capital. Why didn't you bring me here earlier?"

Listening to Liu Qingyan's low-pitched blame, Lu Siguan could feel that her mood was much better than before, and her heart slowly relaxed.
