Chapter 346: Right and Wrong
The piece of paper that Lu Shi took out from his cuff and handed it in, and Zhou Zhijie really sent someone to summon him, and Xu Lu Shi entered the mansion. The shocked porter looked at the Lu family again and again, and didn't know what secret Mrs. Lu's note was, which could make the master change his mind.
Lu was very generous to the porter, and when he entered the door, he rewarded this person with a piece of silver. The porter was very grateful, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at Lu a few more times, but suddenly found that Mrs. Lu's face and figure were extremely charming, and she really couldn't see that this Mrs. Lu was a woman who already had a son in her twenties, so she couldn't help but swallow her saliva fiercely, and with a burst of fragrant wind like blue musk, a pair of eyes stared straight at Lu's back, and the body writhing forward under the thin silk skirt was burned into the eyes, and the body reacted uncontrollably.
When Zhou Zhijie saw Lu, his face was extremely embarrassed, he had long lost his iconic smile, and his voice was even colder.
"What do you do with old things? Aren't we already broken? ”
Lu Shi didn't speak, and directly handed over the crumpled letter. Zhou Zhijie took it inexplicably, glanced up and down a few times, and immediately changed to an extremely regretful expression, and said: "Ling Lang was sentenced to be beheaded, and my sister-in-law and wife please mourn!" ”
A sentence of mourning still shattered the strength and calmness that Lu Shi encouraged to maintain, tears couldn't stop gurgling down, sighed softly, pointed to the letter and asked Zhou Zhijie:
"Do you know when he was born?"
Zhou Zhijie couldn't keep up with Lu's rhythm, so Mu Ran replied.
"I can't remember!"
Lu whispered a month and a date, and then another month and a date. Zhou Zhijie suddenly jumped up from the chair as if he had been burned to the buttocks, his face was hideous, and he sneered: "You, you are hinting that Xiaozi is my son of Zhou Zhijie, right?" ”
Lu Shi's tearful eyes met Zhou Zhijie's cold gaze like a frost poison arrow without fear, and nodded: "Do you still want to deny it?" Originally...... But even the body was given to you...... Now, now......"
Every sentence Lu said was very difficult, but he had to say it. "If it weren't for the fact that this rebel son suffered such a great calamity, and the husband's family was in prison, and it was difficult to protect himself, why would I tell you about it? After all, it is connected by blood and bones, you, you can bear it? ”
Zhou Zhijie walked back and forth in the hall impatiently for a while, and when he heard that the Lu family asked to see him, he guessed that he was here for the Lu family's father and son, but he couldn't help it, Lu Jinji and Lu Zhaolin and his son were now rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him, and he was too late to hide, how could he take the initiative to come up and ask for himself? Besides, the boycott has something to do with him, and since the government has not investigated it, how can he be shameless?
But Zhou Zhijie couldn't have imagined that the Lu family still had a killer feature, and when she said this, it was a little shocking.
"After more than 20 years, many things are difficult to pursue, and it is difficult to ensure that there is a mistake in memory......"
"You, are you still going to deny it? Is it really that ruthless? Who was in my ear at the beginning, pointing to the heavens and swearing that I would never be disappointed, and only 20 years later, it was all in smoke? ”
Lu's voice changed from sadness to indifference. Zhou Zhijie's stiff face suddenly bloomed with a habitual smile.
"What did you say? I remember everything Zhou said, but I'm afraid that Mrs. won't remember what she said, isn't it? ”
Seeing the smile on Zhou Zhijie's face regain his usual smile, Lu's heart was cold, which meant that he had already made a decision, and judging from the meaning of his words, it was definitely not what she expected. Of course, she understood what Zhou Zhijie's rhetorical question meant, and she was the one who took the initiative to break off the relationship. But it was her decision that saved the fate of the two people, otherwise who could have predicted the development after that? With the power of the Lu family back then, crushing the Zhou family at that time was as easy as crushing a bed bug.
As if he knew this person for the first time, Lu Shi re-examined Zhou Zhijie, confirmed that this person was Zhou Zhijie, and asked with despair and difficulty:
"Could it be...... It's true...... To leave somebody in the lurch? ”
Zhou Zhijie smiled: "Who said that you can't save yourself when you die?" Brother Lu and I are like brothers, so I don't have that reason. However, although the things that Ling Lang committed were not big, the people he offended were extremely tricky, and they needed to be considered in the long run. ”
Although this is not a refusal, but every word is full of the meaning of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Lu gradually despaired, Zhou Zhijie is her last straw, in order to save her only son, she can give up anything.
I only heard Zhou Zhijie continue to persuade earnestly: "Sister-in-law, go back first, Zhijie should secretly mediate this matter, and you ......know when you have eyebrows."
Lu Shi suddenly turned his face, "You, aren't you afraid that I will make your ugly deeds public?" Don't forget, your unsightly words are still ......"
"Sister-in-law is in a hurry? When did Zhou say that he would ignore it? Don't get excited, come, calm down, drink tea......"
Zhou Zhijie stretched out his hand to pull Lu Shi to sit down, but Lu Shi flicked his sleeves and said hatefully: "Don't touch me!" You'll regret it! ”
After that, he put up the three-inch golden lotus, and the writhing body left with great effort, leaving Zhou Zhijie, whose face was cloudy, on the spot. No one saw it, and a figure flashed through the window outside the hall and headed for the inner courtyard. Listening from afar, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion reprimanded: "Why is it so slow to ask you to get something?" When you come, everything is yellow, sue you, Fan Er, I don't want to do it and get out of it as soon as possible, there are more people waiting to take your job......"
Another voice full of humility repeatedly admitted that it was wrong, and said good things for a long time, which seemed to calm the butler's anger.
That night, a mysterious man entered the headquarters of the United Trading Company, and after a short time, he disappeared again. Then, Master Guo came to Taiyuan Mansion to find Tian Fuzhen with a secret report, Tian Fuzhen watched it for a long time, thinking that this matter was not helpful to the situation, and it involved secret people, and it was not easy for him to interfere.
"Have you consulted the general?"
Master Guo shook his head, if he asked the general, there was a chance that this matter would be covered again. He also understood that scholars cherish feathers very much, and it is understandable that Tian Fuzhen did not want to be involved in this kind of thing, so he took his leave and left.
At noon the next day, the people in the city found explosive news on the front page of the "Taiyuan Afternoon News", which contained a secret scandal involving the rich gentry, according to a certain family in the house, Lu Jinji's wife and his brother Zhou Zhijie had an affair back then, but what was even more bizarre was still to come, and Lu Zhaolin, who was rampant and domineering in the city, was not Lu Jinji's biological flesh and blood.
The news set off an uproar in Taiyuan City, which is much more attractive than the demolition of Zhang Ge's old house and other news, and the secret affairs of men and women are also involved in one of the city's top wealthy businessmen who were once powerful.
Today's "Taiyuan Afternoon News" has been reprinted five times in a row, and many people feel that word of mouth is not enjoyable, and they have to see the most primitive words in order to have enough of the addiction of hunting.
Soon, the Taiyuan Afternoon Post, which contained the most explosive news since its establishment, was placed on Li Lixin's desk. After reading it once, he couldn't cry or laugh, such an unbelievable thing, it was a shame that Master Guo could come up with it. Immediately called Master Guo over, and scolded him with his head and face, Lu Jinji is now a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats him, there is no need to make up such a dirty story and kick it hard, and besides, it has affected innocent people, how can you bear it?
Who knew that Master Guo's eyebrows fluttered this time, and he smiled obscenely: "General Rongyu, this matter is true nine times out of ten, but it is not made up by villains!" ”
Li Xin was surprised when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "There is such a thing? Where did you find out, old man? ”
Master Guo's face was quite proud, and he straightened up, "The general doesn't know that today's trading company is no worse than the ability of the government, and the spies sent out go deep into all corners of the city. It's not the villain boasting, or the powerful people in the city, who talk privately on the couch at night, and they can be sent to the villain's case in less than a day! ”
Li Xin made a cold war and exaggeratedly said: "You won't also send spies to Ben Shuai's side, right?" ”
Master Guo said with trepidation: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare, even if he borrows 10,000 guts from the villain!" ”
However, this really made Li Xin's heart pound, Gu Shishi's intelligence organization didn't seem to be as efficient as Master Guo's, so it was better to incorporate this intelligence system......
Lu Jinji was detained separately from his son Lu Zhaolin in prison, and now he has passed three times, and when he heard that the case of their father and son had been merged, he took all the blame for the crime, and as for the arson case, he was behind the scenes, and Lu Zhaolin was just an obedient pawn, and he was not very involved in it.
He knew very well that he had come to this field, and it was almost impossible to get out of the field. Before he was imprisoned, he sent someone to find the last straw for help, but now he is like a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats him, and he is not half sure whether people can take care of this matter.
At this moment, he is planning for the worst, no matter what, he has to save himself, the eldest son and only son. Even when he passed through the hall for the first time, he straightforwardly explained to the prefect Tian Fuzhen, as long as Lu Zhaolin was safe and sound, he would admit any crime.
But Tian Fuzhen talked eloquently without being salty:
"Your case has a very big and wide impact, it is not something that this official can decide in one word, and in the future, the court will definitely be reopened, and the jury will decide the case, as for trumped-up charges, this judge will not impose on you. The laws of the Ming Dynasty are clear, and the universe cannot be reversed."
In short, it's just a sentence, and I don't want to face the crime. Despite this, Lu Jinji still took all the charges one by one in his confession, and even confessed that his subordinates had already put all the charges on himself, so as to help Lu Zhaolin get out.
On the evening of this day, Lu Jinji bought the guards to send the meat in, but suddenly found that the newspaper that wrapped the meat actually had Lu's name on it, so he couldn't help but read it.
