Chapter 220: Double Standards

A rough voice: "I heard that this time it was the eldest princess who came forward to help Lu Xuan, I said that she had a good relationship with the county lord of Pingchuan, and he really had the ability to say it. ”

A wall-to-wall grass: "Who's to say it's not?" On the one hand, she seduces the fierce king, and on the other hand, she deceives the young and ignorant county lord, Her Royal Highness, she is really both male and female, and I don't know how the people of the royal family like to protect her little white face. ”

A lazy voice: "You don't understand this, what's wrong with people's little white faces, sacrifice a little hue and you have everything, where can rough people like you and me learn?" ”

It's really going too far, and even saying that Lu Xuan is a person who is no different from those people in the dust, Chen Weizhi stood aside and listened to it and couldn't bear it, and rushed out from behind in an instant.

"You have read the books of sages since you were a child, and you stood out in the palace examination to become an official of our court, but now you are so contrary to the virtue of an official and slander your colleagues in private, don't you have to be punished by the law and discipline of the household department to be able to learn a lesson?"

According to the meaning of Chen Weizhi's words, it was not the first time he had found that these people were privately slandering their colleagues.

Seeing that the gossip of several people was caught by Chen Weizhi, they instantly retracted.

Chen Weizhi carried out a solemn collective education at this time: "A person who is an official must have a heart like a mirror in order to be able to see clearly, and he is not pure in mind and often spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, which is by no means the foundation of an official." ”

"Chen Langzhong's lesson is that Xiaguan and others will be strict with themselves in the future and will never do anything contrary to official morality again." The three of them swore to Chen Weizhi that he would let him go.

Until this moment, Chen Weizhi accumulated a stomach full of anger, and it seemed that he had been vented, and it seemed that he had been angered by Lu Xuan.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong: "What did I just say to them, to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" Isn't that what that guy said to me? ”

Chen Weizhi felt that he was inexplicable, and the words that those people were talking about Lu Xuan behind his back were clearly what he had just pointed to her nose and said to her word by word, how could it become contrary to official morality in the mouths of others?

Here, Lu Xuan hurriedly made up for the official duties that had fallen in the past two days, and wanted to rely on his political achievements in the household department to prove to Chen Weizhi that he was not a person who relied on power as he said.

Lu Qingmeng on the other side couldn't wait to make plans for the eradication of the Shu branch.

She is a commoner, and it is naturally not so easy to eradicate the foundation of the Shuzhi branch for so many years.

However, there are not a lot of immoral things that Lu Xilong has done, as long as he can find some evidence to charge him, it is not difficult to get rid of him.

As for the heirs of the Shu Branchβ€”

Lu Jiaojiao, the one who poses the biggest threat to Lu Qingmeng, as long as she goes to King Chang and speaks a few words in front of him, it will naturally be easy to kill him with a cane on the charge of seducing the prince.

In fact, Lu Jiaojiao was the only one who blocked Lu Qingmeng's way, and she didn't have to go to great lengths to help Lu Xuan deal with the rest of the people.

But the Shu branch is not good, the same qi is even better than what the branch is doing, if Lu Jiaojiao has something wrong with Lu Qingmeng, I'm afraid that none of the remaining ones will let her go easily.

Therefore, instead of keeping the worries that will hinder you at some point, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause and never suffer from future problems.

Let's go back to the heirs of the Yan Branch, leaving aside Lu Jiaojiao, except for the few gentlemen who were disqualified from the palace examination for framing Lu Xuan in the palace examination, they are all daughters who only have rouge gouache in their eyes.

These people are the same as several wives and concubines of Lu Xilong, as long as they don't have him as a pillar, they will naturally collapse.

It may not be easy to end a pot, but it is not impossible to break each one, anyway, Lu Qingmeng has the patience to accompany them to consume, so he will play slowly, and it is also the right to pass the time.

As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, this truth Lu Qingmeng has read from Lu Xuan's books since he was a child, and now he should naturally take Lu Xilong as the primary victim to deal with the Shu branch.

The things that Lu Xilong did to his grandson were all against the law, but he had no choice but to kill because of each crime, and Cui's cowardice and cowardice never dared to report to the official, so he let it go.

At present, if you want to inquire about Lu Xilong's incriminating evidence, I am afraid that the Cui family knows best, thinking this, Lu Qingmeng walked towards the Cui family room without saying a word.

The biggest victim of the dispute between the Lu family and the concubine over the years is actually the Cui family, for her, the sooner she gets rid of Lu Xilong, the sooner she can get rid of the days of fear.

Therefore, the plan to eradicate Lu Xilong does not have to deliberately avoid the Cui family, seeing that she asked about her intentions, Lu Qingmeng also said bluntly:

"Qingmeng is under the care of her aunt and brother, and has always wanted to do something to repay this kindness, and now my brother intends to eradicate the concubine branch, and Qingmeng should make a modest contribution."

There are people who are willing to help Lu Xuan share their worries, and the Cui family is naturally happy to see it, but this person is Lu Qingmeng, who is as weak as a willow, so there is no need.

After hesitating for a moment, thinking that this was someone's intention after all, it would be inhumane to refuse directly, so Cui Shi said tactfully:

"Ah Xuan is the eldest son of the Lu family, and it is her business to be upright, so don't take risks with your daughter's family, if there is a ...... three long and two short"

Cui Shi deliberately refused, but Lu Qingmeng insisted on intervening, and before she could finish speaking, she said firmly:

"I know that my aunt is worried about my safety, but now that my brother is busy with government affairs, as a member of the Lu family, I can't just watch all the burdens on her."

"This ......" Cui hesitated, what Lu Qingmeng said was not unreasonable, Lu Xuan was indeed busy these days.

Besides, whether Lu Xuan is really the eldest son, and whether these burdens are within her share, Cui's heart is like a mirror.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cui's heart finally wavered, and then he sighed: "It's enough that you have this heart, auntie, but you are a girl, what can you do to fight against Lu Xilong's old fox?" ”

This Cui family can underestimate Lu Qingmeng, Lu Xilong may be a cunning fox to others, but compared to her methods, he is simply a clown jumping off the beam.

However, in order to keep his pure and lovely image in the Lu family, Lu Qingmeng did not show his wisdom at this time, and only asked the Cui family about Lu Xilong's old crimes.

Asked by Lu Qingmeng, Cui's face couldn't help but have a trace of sadness.

"If you count it down, it's too much......" Cui Shi talked about Lu Xilong's evil deeds, and talked for an hour, almost saying that Lu Qingmeng was tired.

Looking back, it was another handful of sad tears, and Cui Shi couldn't help but sigh and blame himself: "It's all my fault for being incompetent, if I had been ruthless in the morning, you and Ah Xuan wouldn't have been so bullied by them." ”

Seeing this, Lu Qingmeng hurriedly comforted her: "Auntie, don't blame yourself, you can't do anything before, my brother doesn't blame you, and Qingmeng won't blame you." ”

comforted Cui's family, and the more hypocritical side was performed by Lu Qingmeng again-

I saw tears in her eyes instantly, and then she blamed herself against Cui's:

"It turns out that the concubine has been so ruthless all these years, and I was deceived by them and did so many things against my conscience, which is really a waste of my aunt's nurturing grace."

This is Lu Qingmeng's cleverness, as long as she pretends to be pitiful enough and admits her mistakes early enough and is conscious enough, she will not allow others to criticize half a sentence.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw her pitiful appearance, Cui's heart immediately softened, and he hurriedly reached out to stroke her hair: "Good boy, don't blame yourself, let it pass in the past, we won't blame you." ”

After a while, Cui Shi asked Lu Qingmeng: "But I just said so much, but which one is useful?" ”

Cui's was originally a beautiful girl, and she learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female workers and female virtues since she was a child, but she had little contact with the law of soldiers and torturers.

On the other hand, Lu Qingmeng, although she is not a big lady, has been by Lu Xuan's side since she was a child, and she can be regarded as reading poetry and books, which she knows more than Cui's.

Seeing Cui's question, Lu Qingmeng fell into a burst of meditation.

In fact, as she expected at the beginning, although Lu Xilong's actions were outrageous, after all, they were all family matters, and small quarrels were really not on the table, even if they were sued by the government, they might not be enough to punish him for capital crimes.

And a person with a small belly like Lu Xilong, if he can't kill him with one blow, he may make a more fierce revenge in the future.

Lu Qingmeng was terrified, for fear that Lu Xilong would take revenge and shake her secret collusion with Li Ce and King Chang in front of Lu Xuan.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Cui Shi seemed to understand something, and the expectation on her face was gradually swallowed up by loss.

Lu Qingmeng was still distracted when he heard a long sigh beside him: "That's it, where is this Lu Xilong so easy to deal with, it is enough for you to have this intention, and the rest is to wait for Ah Xuan to come back and make a decision." ”

This is a good opportunity for Lu Qingmeng to kill two birds with one stone.

Not to mention that she can sweep away her worries, if she can eradicate the branch by herself, the wrong things she did before can be written off, and she can get rid of the charge of collusion with the branch and regain the trust of the branch.

After thinking about it like this, how could Lu Qingmeng allow the Cui family to give up so easily?

In a hurry, even though his mind was still blank, Lu Qingmeng still swore and promised: "I have a way, I will make him pay." ”

Cui Shi originally wanted to ask carefully, but it was rare to see such a terrible look on the face of Lu Qingmeng, who had always been docile and timid, and she didn't dare to say much for a while, so she had to believe her for the time being.

After prevaricating the Cui family, Lu Qingmeng went back to the room and began to sort out his thoughts, and he was bound to think of a way to defeat Lu Xilong in one fell swoop before Lu Xuan came back.
