Chapter 313: Lu Ling's Plea
Kyoto, Imperial Study.
Lu Lingzhi knelt on the ground, sweating on his forehead, he came to ask the emperor for his guilt.
"Anyang Hou, I didn't understand what you just said. Murong Zhan looked at Lu Lingzhi coldly, and two beams of anger jumped in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, it was Lu Guiren who died, and the minister wanted people to sort out the belongings in her boudoir and bury them together, so she found the letters left by her deceased father, so she ...... Only then did I know that she was pretending to be the emperor's savior, the emperor, please see that Shuang'er is infatuated with you and forgive her for the crime of deceiving the king. Lu Lingzhi kowtowed and said.
Murong Zhan looked at Lu Lingzhi sharply, wanting to know how true his words were, after he exposed Lu Shuang'er's true face, he immediately sent her to Nianci Temple, Lu Lingzhi had no chance to meet her at all, so Lu Lingzhi definitely didn't know that he already knew.
"What are your father's letters?" asked Murong Zhan in a deep voice.
Lu Lingzhi's face was filled with grief, and he struggled and hesitated for a long time before taking out a stack of letters from his arms, "Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive the deceased father for the wrong things he did with his love for his daughter." ”
Fu used to bring the letters in Lu Lingzhi's hand to Murong Zhan, and Murong Zhan looked at them one by one, his thin lips pursed, but the anger in his eyes became stronger and stronger, "Did your father hide the real little girl?"
"Back to the emperor, the letter said that the minister has not yet gone to find someone. Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice.
"Yanzhi, do you know the consequences of handing over these letters to me?" There seemed to be frost condensation in Murong Zhan's eyes, he had been thinking about the little girl who saved him back then, thinking that Lu Shuang'er was her, he spoiled Lu Shuang'er lawlessly, and later knew that Lu Shuang'er was not her, he wanted to find the real little girl, but he couldn't find her at all, he thought she was dead, and now Lu Lingzhi is holding these letters to sue him, that little girl is still alive, and is under house arrest somewhere by Lu Shide.
A touch of pain flashed in Lu Lingzhi's eyes, "The minister wants to hide from the emperor, but the minister is afraid that the truth will be revealed in the future, and it will affect the entire Lu family......"
Murong Zhan asked coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will make your Lu family pay the price now?"
"The minister only wants to be able to spare the life of our Lu family. Lu Lingzhi kowtowed and said.
"Have you had someone go to her?" Murong Zhan asked in a low voice, he didn't really believe what these letters said, what if it was a fake?
Lu Lingzhi said, "These letters were found by the ministers yesterday, and I haven't confirmed them yet, and I don't know ...... The little girl is still ......."
Murong Zhan slapped the table with his big palm, "I shouldn't have spared Lu Shuang'er in the first place!"
"The emperor forgives the sins!" Lu Lingzhi kowtowed in horror, the fine sweat on his forehead became more and more, the expression on his face became more and more painful, and the hands supporting the ground were already trembling slightly.
"Marquis Anyang, if the person imprisoned by your father is really the little ...... who saved me back then Girl, I will inevitably make your Lu family pay the price. Murong Zhan said coldly.
Lu Ling gritted his teeth for a long time and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Murong Zhan frowned slightly, how could he think that Lu Lingzhi was a little inappropriate, he used to face the enemy's thousands of troops and horses without changing his face, is he afraid of being like this today?
Fude's sharp eyes noticed Lu Lingzhi's strange appearance, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with the Marquis of Anyang. ”
"Lu Lingzhi?" Murong Zhan called out to him.
Lu Lingzhi wanted to speak, but the pain in his whole body made him unable to say a word, he opened his mouth, and his whole person twitched irrepressibly, "Minister...... Faux pas...... ......"
"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Murong Zhan saw him like this, his face suddenly changed, and he understood that Lu Lingzhi was poisoned.
Soon, Gong Yuanzhi had already arrived in a hurry, Qi Jin and Huangfuchen were not in Kyoto, Gong Yuanju had been treating Lu Lingzhi, but unfortunately the effect was not very good, the residual poison could not be resolved, and the pain-relieving effect was not as good as once, and now he could only barely let Lu Lingzhi reduce the pain, and there was no other way at all.
After more than half an hour, Lu Lingzhi gradually stopped convulsing.
Murong Zhan's original anger was also dissipated by Lu Lingzhi's poisonous hair, he remembered that Lu Lingzhi was poisoned on the way back from the victory, although Lu Shide and Lu Shuang'er should die, but the Lu family still had merit before, and Lu Lingzhi made a lot of military achievements.
That's it, when he gets the little girl back, if she is safe and sound, he can still spare the Lu family, if so...... In the future, the Lu family will be like this, and it is impossible to go further, which can be regarded as a reward for Lu Lingzhi's meritorious service.
"Let someone escort Anyang Hou back and let him recuperate at home. Murong Zhan commanded lightly.
Fu Fu answered, thinking that if the emperor found that girl back, I don't know what changes would happen in this palace.
Murong Zhan looked at the letter on the table, and according to the place written in his heart, the place where Lu Shide imprisoned Xiao Xiaoxiao was on the outskirts of Kyoto, and this time he wanted to find her back in person.
Huaijiang City, the entrance of the village.
As soon as Ye Hao came out of Wangjiang Tower, she heard that something was happening here, she hurried over, and saw Xu Ji's people holding swords at the people in the village, it turned out that those villagers wanted to leave the village, but they were stopped by Xu Ji's people and did not allow them to cross the fence for half a step.
"Lord Xu, what's going on?" Ye Hao walked over and asked Xu Ji.
Xu Jileng snorted, "If these people want to leave the village, they will naturally stop them." ”
"Even if you want to stop them, your soldiers shouldn't treat them with swords. Ye Hao said unhappily, "They didn't contract typhoid fever, so why treat them so harshly." ”
"When they leave the village and infect other people, you think it's nothing. Xu Ji said with a sneer.
Ye Hao wanted to say something more, but Xu Ji had already walked over and ordered those soldiers, "Who dares to break the fence again, kill!"
The villagers were immediately stunned by the word killing, and they stared at each other helplessly, fearing that they would actually be killed by the soldiers, and that if they continued to stay in the village, they would be infected with the plague.
"We're going out!"
"yes, we're going to get out of here, let us out!"
"Let's not stay here and wait to die, let us out!"
The villagers screamed, they felt that their village had become a dead village, and if they didn't leave, they would die.
"This is retribution, this is punishment! We know that we are wrong, and we will not talk nonsense about the plague in the village in the future......"
"God, we were wrong, we were wrong. ”
A few villagers scolded the people who were crying, "It's you, you always talk nonsense every year, our village has no plague, but you say there is a plague every year......
