Chapter 82
"Qing Pei has something unclear, I don't know if I can ask Lord Lu."
Lu Xuan nodded: "But it's okay to say it." β
Qing Pei was puzzled at this time: "Wang Zixuan is the only son of the Wang family, and he has been missing for many days, but the Wang family is only busy holding the adults accountable, and it seems that there is no intention of looking for someone." β
This is really the case, from beginning to end, the Wang family is trying their best to obstruct Lu Xuan's investigation of the case, intending to impose Wang Zixuan's disappearance on her, and it seems that they don't want to find anyone at all.
Lu Xuan was thinking about it, only to hear Qing Pei immediately put forward a bold conjecture: "According to Qing Pei's opinion, this matter may be a good show directed and acted by the Wang family from beginning to end to frame the adult?" β
"This ......" Lu Xuan couldn't help frowning, if he really wanted to think like this, it was not completely impossible.
"Miss Qingpei is really wise, but there is a lack of evidence at the moment, and I am weak, if it is really the Wang family, I am afraid that I will be outnumbered." Lu Xuan sighed again.
Until I heard a noise downstairsβ
"Hey, what is Master Feng doing, the girls don't pick up guests in the daytime!" It's the voice of Lao Bao.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Wukuan replied in a panic: "I'm not here to find the girl, I'm here to find the adults of our family." β
"My lord? You mean Lu County Order? Lao Bao now mentions Lu Xuan with a look of disdain, and it is really a wall that everyone pushes.
"Your Lord Lu didn't come to my Wangchun Tower, Master Feng, please go back." Lao Bao said that he was about to send off the guests, but Lu Xuan came down from upstairs when he heard the voice: "Wait!" β
Hearing this, Lao Bao looked back in amazement, and saw Lu Xuan sneaking in under his nose, and suddenly felt incredible.
"Lu, Lord Lu, when did you ......" Lao Bao looked at Lu Xuan in surprise.
Although she is now notorious, she is still in the position of the county magistrate, and when she sees herself, Lao Bao is still a little jealous.
Lu Xuan too, just after hearing Feng Wukuan's voice, he hurriedly ran out, for fear that he would miss a report related to the case.
For a while, I forgot that the way I entered the door was not a gentleman.
Listening to Lao Bao's question at this moment, Lu Xuan came back to his senses, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "I ......"
Lu Xuan was hesitant and didn't know where to start, but fortunately, Qingpei came out in time to relieve her: "When Lord Lu came, her mother was not in the main hall, so Qingpei welcomed the adult in without authorization." β
Hearing this, Lao Bao hurriedly walked towards Qing Pei, and then leaned into her ear and said with a frightened face: "Qing Pei, you are confused, she is now the public enemy of the county, do you dare to deal with her?" β
Qing Pei ignored it, but took out a bag of silver taels from his waist: "These are all rewarded to Qing Pei by Lord Lu, and since my mother is here, I will hand it over to my mother." β
Lu Xuan was simply confused, she was a poor bastard who climbed through the window and came in, where did she get so much silver?
It seems that Qingpei paid out of his own pocket to protect her.
Fortunately, Lao Bao is an open-eyed person, as long as he has money, no matter who gave it, just take it.
opened the money bag and took a look, Lao Bao instantly changed his face and hurriedly greeted Lu Xuan.
"Ouch, when did Lord Lu come, Mom, I was really clumsy, I didn't greet the adult in person, the adult is not strange, the adult is not strange."
This sudden flattery suddenly made Lu Xuan a little confused, and he couldn't help but look at Qing Pei opposite.
Lu Xuan and Qing Pei met in Pingshui, and it was a great luck to have her trust, but she didn't want to let her spend so much money for herself.
Lu Xuan was a little reluctant to go, and at the same time he was grateful to Qing Pei.
Qing Pei didn't seem to take it to heart, but just smiled at Lu Xuan, as if telling her not to take it to heart.
After a while, Lu Xuan came back to his senses and hurriedly looked back at Feng Wukuan, who was in a hurry.
"Master Feng is so anxious to find me, but what has happened to the case?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but be a little worried.
Feng Wukuan shook his head, and his face seemed to be a little happy: "No, no, no, the lower officials are here to welcome the adults back to the mansion." β
Lu Xuan couldn't believe his ears: "Back to the palace? But the government is not ...... by the people of the Wang family."
Between the words, I saw Feng Wukuan waving his hand again and again to deny: "The Criminal Department has ordered that Xie Qingshan and others have all been removed from their posts and punished, and the new batch of arresters are all extraordinary, and they have driven away the Wang family's nursing home." β
This is simply the best news Lu Xuan has heard in the past few days, and she suddenly smiled: "What's going on, why did the Criminal Department suddenly issue an order?" β
Feng Wukuan shook his head: "The lower officials don't know very well, without further ado, in order to avoid any action by the Wang family, the adults should go back with the lower officials quickly." β
Qing Pei also hurriedly stepped forward: "Official business is important, go quickly, my lord, Qing Pei is waiting here for good news from my lord." β
Lu Xuan just left, the incident happened suddenly, and it was so timely, she was full of doubts and couldn't wait to ask what was going on.
It wasn't until he rushed back to the mansion that Lu Xuan realized that what Feng Wukuan said was true.
The royal family's nursing homes have indeed all been removed, and even the original officials have disappeared, and some are just unfamiliar faces.
It wasn't until Qin Wei appeared that Lu Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Does the Qin guard know what's going on?" β
Qin Wei nodded, and was about to speak, but when he saw Feng Wukuan present, he immediately changed his words.
"Lord Huilu, when Gongzi heard about the situation of the adult, he specially came forward to ask the Shangshu Order of the Criminal Department to be the edict of the master, these people are also personally selected by the child, and he will definitely do his best to assist the adult."
Qin Xiao said a word, so that Lu Xuan didn't react for a while: "Childe? β
Hearing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Feng Wukuan, and then reminded vaguely: "That's it, my lord's brother." β
"Brother......" Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Oh, it turned out to be my brother, who else should I be." β
Feng Wukuan didn't know why, so he could only watch the two of them sing and play a big drama in harmony.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be moved when he learned the truth: It turned out that he had been secretly helping me all along.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to ask Qin Xiao about Gu Huanli's current situation, but Feng Wukuan was on her side, and it was inconvenient to speak directly with many words.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xuan simply found a random excuse to branch Feng Wukuan.
"Master Feng, now that we have manpower, let's ask Master to call the list for the official himself, and then explain the case to the new officer."
Feng Wukuan took the order, and then left.
Lu Xuan then looked at Qin Wei again: "I have something I want to ask Guard Qin, there are many people here, can you bother Guard Qin to go back to the room with me?" β
Qin Wei agreed, and the two immediately walked away.
As soon as she entered the door, before Qin Wei could ask Lu Xuan what he wanted, she couldn't wait to speak: "Your Highness, is he okay?" β
Qin Wei hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head.
Lu Xuan couldn't help frowning, and his heart hung up: "What's wrong with Your Highness, but what's wrong?" β
In fact, when Lu Xuan first inquired, he just wanted to ask Gu Huanli what he was doing now and whether he was in good health.
She probably never thought about the hardship of his prestige and power.
But now looking at Qin Xiao's sorrowful face, thinking that Gu Huanli's encounter this time seemed to be not a trivial matter, Lu Xuan suddenly felt panicked.
Seeing Lu Xuan asking, it seemed that there was no need to hide it, and after brewing for a while, Qin Xiao spoke:
"The day before yesterday, His Majesty's birthday, His Royal Highness was upset and was embarrassed by the prince's excuse, and he was disrespectful to His Majesty in anger, and now the whole court is talking about His Royal Highness's contempt for imperial power, His Royal Highness is ......"
Qin Wei couldn't continue, these words were also what Lin Wei said when he replied to the letter, he had never seen the situation on his birthday with his own eyes, and he really didn't dare to speculate on the consequences.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan suddenly became uneasy: "Your Highness has always acted steadily, how could you be caught by the crown prince at such an important moment as Your Majesty's birthday?" β
Lu Xuan thought that such a thing as the emperor's birthday banquet Gu Huanli should be commonplace as a royal family, and she really couldn't imagine why he would anger Long Yan at this time and be taken advantage of by the prince.
Seeing Lu Xuan like this, Qin Wei couldn't help but think of what Lin Wei said in the letter, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to tell Lu Xuan.
"According to what Lin Wei said in the letter, His Royal Highness has been worried about the affairs of the Lord recently, and he has almost gone to Jiangnan to relieve the siege of the Lord many times, but he has been blocked by His Majesty's birthday, presumably His Highness is very annoyed by this birthday."
Qin Xiao, like Lin Xiao, has followed Gu Huanli for many years, and he can see Lu Xuan's heart clearly even if he doesn't say it.
If it is said that for Lu Xuan, he will offend the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and be the enemy of the royal family, Gu Huanli will really do it.
Seeing that Lu Xuan had not spoken for a long time, Qin Wei knew that he shouldn't say more, so he continued to speak, anyway, he had already said a lot of what he should have said and what he shouldn't say today, and he didn't care about these two sentences.
"His Royal Highness has now become the target of public criticism, he was originally going to come over after the birthday banquet, but all the forces in the DPRK and China are eyeing him, and His Royal Highness is unwilling to involve Lord Lu, so he has to ask the Criminal Department to take action."
In this way, Lu Xuan understood that even if he was in a situation where he could not protect himself, Gu Huanli was still worried about how to not affect her.
For a while, many fragmentary pictures from the past poured into Lu Xuan's mind like waves, and she was suddenly confused.
"Escort Qin, I want to be alone for a while, is it okay?" Lu Xuan said in a low voice, and Qin Wei immediately retreated.
Gu Huanli has always been very helpful to Lu Xuan, even if he is thousands of miles away and obstructed at this time, he still protects her thoroughly.
Lu Xuan couldn't think of what she could do for Gu Huanli when he was in such a predicament.
This life is not as good as the previous life, Lu Xuan is just a lonely and unknown petty official thousands of miles away, and unlike Gu Huanli, he can easily find senior executives to help him in the court.
"Executives?" Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's mind seemed to flash the shadow of a person, maybe he could ask him to help Gu Huanli say a few good words in front of Emperor Liang Qin.
Without further ado, Lu Xuan immediately put pen to paper.
After a while, I saw Lu Xuan walking in front of Qin Wei with a letter in his hand.
Qin Wei couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord Lu, this letter is written to His Highness?" β
Lu Xuan shook his head: "I'm tired of the Qin guards handing over this letter to Lord Chen of the household department for me." β
