Old Madam Xu was stunned like a clay sculpture, her eyes full of sadness.

Even the elders of the Xu family were extremely surprised, obviously they didn't expect Xu Zhengyuan to confess to Old Madam Xu so easily.

Lu Ying said in a deep voice: "When Old Madam Xu died, you were at the bedside, how did the old lady arrange it, how could you not know." ”

These details are already clear to the imperial court......

Thinking of this, Xu Zhengyuan was even more frightened, what the elders of the Fang Cai clan and Lord Lu said was true.

A few days ago, the clan questioned the cause of his father's death, although the mother denied it, the whole person obviously became panicked, and hurriedly ordered someone to tell Liu Xiang all the events of that day, he suspected at that time that his mother and Liu Xiang had private contacts, otherwise why would his mother ask Liu Xiang to help again and again at this time, and the Liu family took the trouble to deal with it.

It is still a trivial matter for his mother to have a personal relationship with Liu Xiang, but he was punished by the clan, and his mother was driven to the family nunnery at most, and his status as the second master Xu would not change in any way.

But Liu Xiang is a spy of the Jin people, which is different, which will affect the entire Xu family.

So he had to make it clear that he had nothing to do with these things. Mother will also understand his hard work, he is not implicated than two people are detained, and besides, his body and bones are not good, and if he tosses it, he can't say that his mother will send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. His mother would rather die by himself than watch him have something, he understands his mother's thoughts, so it seems that he is filial piety.

"Mother," Xu Zhengyuan said, "just say it, what's going on? Did you really hurt your father? Why did you hurt your father?" ”

When Xu Zhengyuan said this, he grinned and cried, crying so earth-shattering: "If my father was still here, our family would not be like this, my son doesn't understand, what is this for?"

"What does our Xu family have to do with the Liu family," Xu Zhengyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Ying and the elders of the Xu family pitifully, "Are you mistaken, the Liu family is not close to us, so they sent us away with half a bag of rice grain." ”

"You must be mistaken. ”

Xu Zhengyuan kept talking.

Old Madam Xu pursed her lips tightly, her face seemed to be lifeless, and her eyes looked ahead blankly.

Lu Ying said: "The Xu family has been loyal and good for generations, but I didn't expect to conspire with the spies at this time......"

Generations of loyalty and kindness were like a needle stabbing at Mrs. Xu's heart, and blood immediately gushed out. When King Qing rebelled, she was glad that she had driven Song Yuan out of the house early, and she had no relationship with Gu Langhua and others, no matter when the Xu family was loyal and good for generations.

But she didn't expect that one day she would be wronged as a spy, a spy of the Jin Kingdom.

This is more hateful than rebellion.

Her reputation for many years of business was dashed.

Who is harming her, such a vicious heart.

"No," Mrs. Xu said suddenly, "I'm not...... I'm not...... I come from a family of eunuchs, and I am a serious official lady, how could I do such a thing......"

With a "snap", the elders of the Xu family slapped Mrs. Xu in the face: "Our Xu family has been reduced to this point because of being implicated, and if you still refuse to say it, I will keep beating you until you say it." ”

The elders of the Xu family waved their hands, and the Xu family immediately dragged Old Madam Xu and Xu Zhengyuan out of the house.

After a struggle and shouting, there was the sound of sticks hitting you.

Xu Zhengyuan kept wailing, Mrs. Xu bit her lip tightly, and her frightened and unwilling expression froze on her wrinkled face.

After a few sticks went down, she only felt that her internal organs were shattered, and her flesh and blood were blurred.

Yes, she was in tatters, and she could hear bones and muscles shattering. She has always treated the women of the clan coldly, and never thought that one day it would be her turn.

The elders of the clan intended to kill her.

In this way, Liu Xiang was convicted, and Mrs. Xu's mind was suddenly clear, the court had not yet convicted Liu Xiang, at least the emperor had not yet determined that Liu Xiang was a spy, otherwise Lord Lu would not come to interrogate them, as long as they didn't say anything, Lord Lu would be helpless.

Old Madam Xu opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but she didn't say anything, she only heard Xu Zhengyuan say: "It's her...... She was the one who killed me...... Father...... That's what I just knew...... Mother...... I'm sorry...... My son can't defend you anymore...... You're dead...... Father...... I'm ...... recruited."

"I really didn't know, I didn't know. ”

Mrs. Xu was discouraged, and the last chance finally passed by her. She never realized that her son was so good-for-nothing, not only ruthless and unjust, but also a fool, even if she didn't say anything, Xu Zhengyuan would admit it indiscriminately.

She is also a fool, and she even wants to hand over the entire Xu family to him.

Old Madam Xu's throat was sweet, a mouthful of hot blood spurted out, and the whole person fainted.

"Don't let her die. Lu Ying commanded lightly.

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Xu Zhengyuan couldn't stand up to interrogation like this.

Lu ...... Lord Lu...... What are you going to do next? Do you say a few kind words in front of the emperor? The elders of the Xu family kept looking around, if he hadn't seen the forbidden army, he wouldn't have believed that Lord Lu was investigating the case for the imperial court and found out about them.

"I will immediately enter the palace and report to the emperor," Lu Ying said and instructed Min Zichen, "You take someone to take a good look at Xu Zhengyuan, and the emperor will definitely interrogate him personally." ”

Min Zichen nodded, but he didn't expect Lu Ying to get the evidence in three or two clicks.

Seeing that Lu Ying was about to leave, Min Zichen continued: "You are going now?"

Lu Ying bowed his head, if he didn't prepare, he was afraid that it would be too late, Pei Qitang was a smart person, he wouldn't leave them too much time, and the Jin people would also send troops at the most appropriate time, so he couldn't wait any longer.

"The dignitaries in Beijing have probably heard that the emperor is going to move east, and if I say that Liu Jingchen is a spy of the Jin people tomorrow morning, someone will definitely echo it. ”

The officials of Daqi will not be able to see the current situation clearly, Liu Jingchen can coax the emperor, and he can't hide it from everyone.

"Tonight is my turn to be on duty in the palace. ”

Since King Ning's rebellion, there has been a duty room in the palace, first, the emperor can summon them at any time, and secondly, they must also patrol with people, and he has a sign for night duty, so he can enter and exit the palace.

"You have to be careful," Min Zichen was worried in his heart, "After all, the emperor trusts Liu Jingchen. ”

Lu Ying couldn't be clearer about this. But this time, the emperor had to believe it.

……

The emperor sat in the Qinzheng Palace, and the desk was a mountain of twists and turns.

Chang Ankang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the people from Zhongshu Province are waiting outside the door, do you want him to come in and help the emperor sort out the documents." ”

The Emperor nodded haphazardly, closed his eyes and leaned back on the throne to recuperate.

After a burst of extremely light footsteps, Lu Ying stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something important to report." ”

Chang Ankang frowned, he didn't expect that Lang, the secretary of Zhongshu Province, would be so ignorant of the rules that he would dare to disturb the emperor's rest, so he was about to wave his sleeves and push Lu Ying down.

Lu Ying bowed down and continued: "Your Majesty, what the ministers told is related to the Jin State spies, the Jin State spies want to send you to the Jin people, if you take people to move east, the Jin people will inevitably invade Daqi from the east, and when the time comes, if you are captured, the entire Daqi will only be at the mercy of the Jin people." ”

The emperor's heart was suddenly raised to his throat, and he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Lu Ying with a fierce and surprised expression: "What did you say?"
