Before he had time to wipe the cold sweat rolling down his forehead, the young man's words followed him like a thunderbolt, knocking him to the chair.

"If it weren't for this foreign wealth, what would Lord Lu use to raise an outer room and raise an illegitimate child? If they have something to rely on, then it is also fate, and it is your retribution for harming yin virtue, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

Lu Youlin sat down in the chair with a pale face, this matter has always been a thorn in his heart, he didn't expect retribution to come so soon.

looked at the person in front of him with blank eyes, mustered up the last strength and begged: "It's my fault, it has nothing to do with them, I beg you to let Qiu Niang and the child go." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with us, I will treat them well."

"Cooperation?"

What do you mean? Could it be ......

"You are not the mastermind, as long as you confess who is the mastermind, Qiu Niang and the child will be fine."

"No...... No, I don't know, I ...... I can't say. When Lu Youlin heard the request of the person opposite, his face was full of panic, and he shook his head again and again.

He is just a small six-rank official, even now with a knife on his neck, he doesn't have the courage to dare to report a prince.

"Don't be in a hurry to reply, I know that the mastermind is your immediate boss, Lord Fang, I already have the evidence in my hands, and it will be handed to the emperor soon, and you will also be questioned at that time, why don't you consider considering my construction?"

"Why did you come to me when you already have the evidence?"

"Looking for you is to give you a chance to atone for your sins. Without you, I could have convicted Fang Weimin, but I would rather see him fall into rebellion. ”

"You...... What are you going to deal with, Lord Fang? ”

"Yes, could it be that there is someone else besides Lord Fang? It shouldn't be the Third Prince, the Third Prince was still young at that time, and he didn't have to do that. The young man pondered.

Lu Youlin saw that he was not an enemy of the third prince, and his heart relaxed, but he always had a strange feeling, and he always felt that it was not so simple for them to find him, "You're not afraid that I will go to report the news?" ”

The young man smiled confidently: "You are a smart person, you won't do that, if you go to report the news, I'm afraid you will die faster than us." ”

Extinguish the mouth. Lu Youlin's eyes shrank, and he felt that there was a big net in front of him, and he couldn't break free no matter how he netted himself, and the person in front of him was the person who weaved the net, and he had no last resort, and everything was in his calculations.

"If I listen to you, will I not ask for guilt?"

The boy shook his head.

The hope in Lu Youlin's eyes dimmed instantly, and he sighed dejectedly: "Since it is death if you say it, and death if you don't say it, then why should I say it?" ”

"It's different, you said, only you die, your family, as well as Qiu Niang and the children will live well, and if you don't say it, they will all be buried for you."

"You...... You threaten me? ”

The person on the other side looked at him noncommittally and did not speak.

"How can I believe your word, how can you make me believe it?" No one is not afraid of death, and neither is Lu Youlin, he has no doubt that the person in front of him has the ability to cause them to die, and when he thinks of the impending disaster, he can't help but tremble, and roars fiercely.

"Believe it or not, you don't have a choice."

The young man Shi Shiran stood up, "Lord Lu, the words have come to this, you think about it, I will come again tomorrow night, I hope you have made up your mind by then." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the door, and the young man who had not made a sound in front of the window followed the young man without looking at him again.

As soon as he stepped out of the door with one foot, the young man turned around again, pursed his lips and smiled, looking so innocent, but the words he said made Lu Youlin chill for a while.

"Lord Lu, I believe you will make the right choice. By the way, don't be trickster, I don't have a good temper, don't try to challenge my patience. ”

The sound disappeared, and when Lu Youlin recovered some strength, he got up from the chair and went to the door to see that there was no one in the courtyard.

Liu Qin and Jiang Li came out of the courtyard, Fang Nuo and Chang Sheng were already waiting at the entrance of the alley in the carriage, the two got into the carriage silently, and walked a long way, still with a calm expression and did not say a word.

Fang Nuo looked at this, then at that, and couldn't help but ask, "Childe, what happened, why are you all with such expressions?" ”

Liu Qin smiled bitterly: "Alas, I think Lu Youlin is right, I am indeed despicable and shameless enough, I actually threaten women and children." ”

Jiang Li listened to her words, his heart ached, and he raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes full of pity.

"Childe, I don't think it's anything, it's not too much to deal with this kind of person. It's just that I really don't understand, Brother Lei didn't say that there are already human and physical evidence, why do you need to do more? ”

"Arnold, don't underestimate the ability of the Jin family, although we don't implicate the three princes this time, but that incident is a stain on him after all, how can the Jin family give up, even if we have evidence in hand, they can also reverse black and white and say that it is a fake, but if Lu Youlin pleads guilty during the interrogation and testifies against Fang Weimin, it will be ironclad, and there will be no room for turning around, at that time, the Jin family and the three princes will not only not exonerate Fang Weimin, but will even be eager to detain all the charges on him, in order to protect themselves, And our purpose was achieved. ”

Fang Nuo nodded again and again after listening, and after listening, he looked at Liu Qin like a monster, which made Liu Qin's heart furious, touched his face, and asked uncomfortably: "Arnold, why do you feel so scary with your eyes?" ”

"I'm wondering, how does Childe's head grow, why is he so smart?"

"Haha, huh? I also think I'm pretty smart, don't you admire? ”

"Of course, of course, I admire it."

"Hahaha, you should say this, my admiration for you is like a surging river......"

There was laughter in the carriage again, Jiang Li looked at Liu Qin, who had regained his vitality, and his heart was also relieved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a doting smile.

The night passed quietly in the sleep of many people, and it also passed slowly in the sleepless anxiety of some people.

On the horizon, there is finally a glimmer of light.

Lu Youlin, who had not slept all night, seemed to have aged several years overnight, and his face was haggard.

wiped his face indiscriminately, staggered out of the door, the carriage that had been explained yesterday had stopped at the mouth of the alley, and the coachman was very strange when he saw that he was the only one, "Master, where is the lady and the young master?" ”

Lu Youlin didn't answer, and got into the carriage with the support of the coachman, and then spoke, "Go home." ”

Although the coachman was very strange, he did not dare to ask again.

In the early morning, there are already pedestrians walking around the streets, but in this misty morning, the sparse pedestrians, compared with the wide streets, always seem a little lonely, just like Lu Youlin's mood at this moment.

He carefully recalled half of his life, his past, and suddenly gave birth to a lot of emotion, as if what should have been cherished has not been cherished, what he once had has long been lost, and what he thought he had in his hands may be like gravel, which has long slipped through his fingers.

"Retribution, retribution......" he muttered.

The low murmur did not penetrate the curtain of the car, and disappeared into the silent early morning. (To be continued.) )
