Chapter Ninety-One: Becoming Brothers?
"Lord Lu, Lord Lu?" Feng Wukuan called twice, and Lu Xuan came back to his senses: "Huh? ”
"Brother Lu came here for a long time, but why did he dress up like this late at night......" Feng Wukuan said more and more confidently.
Although I don't know the true identity of the person who came, the anger in my body alone makes people feel daunted unconsciously.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly explained: "Isn't it true that I have been grounded, my brother is relieved to come to see me, and he is afraid of causing me trouble, so he can only make this decision." ”
With such an explanation, Feng Wukuan was reluctantly dismissed.
Gu Huanli had a question here: "I don't know why the master came here late at night?" ”
"Oh, the old man is here to discuss the case with Lord Lu." Feng Wukuan answered truthfully.
Someone's eyebrows seemed to be displeased, although Feng Wukuan was old, but he was also a man in the end, so it was a little unreasonable to be alone with Lu Xuan in the middle of the night.
But at the moment, Lu Xuan is showing himself as a man after all, and Gu Huanli can't show anything too much, so he has to calm down.
"It's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time, since Ah Xuan has official business, I won't bother much." With that, Gu Huanli immediately walked towards the door.
Halfway through, I turned back.
I saw him pick up the coat that Lu Xuan had just thrown away, and wrapped her tightly without saying a word.
Lu Xuan looked dazed, but saw the people in front of him with angry eyes: "It's cold at night, Ah Xuan's body is not good, wear more, so as not to worry about my brother." ”
For some reason, this ordinary sentence actually made Lu Xuan hear a threatening charm, especially the word "brother" that he emphasized, which made her regret not being at the beginning.
After a long time, Gu Huanli returned to the inn, and Qin Wei had been waiting in the room for a long time.
"Your Highness, you're back." Qin Wei stepped forward: "Your Highness can see Lord Lu?" ”
Gu Huanli nodded, and then instructed Qin Xiao: "This king ordered Lin Wei to secretly send a group of secret guards over, and they will arrive early tomorrow morning, and you must arrange for them to keep an eye on the Wang family and the county government at that time." ”
Qin Xiao commanded: "Your Highness, you ......"
Gu Huanli then continued: "After arranging everything, you will go with this king to track down Wang Zixuan's whereabouts, and you will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible." ”
The next day, when the sky was bright, Wang Ji'an brought a group of nurses to put pressure on Su Junfeng.
"Lord Prefect, you must severely punish that Lu Xuan, it has been a few days, my son's life and death are unknown, please be the master!" Wang Ji'an cried wolf howl, causing unrest in the hospital.
Su Junfeng was naturally anxious to find out the truth, but there was no evidence to prove that Lu Xuan was the real murderer of Wang Zixuan, and it was not easy for him to make judgments as a prefect.
At the same time, Lu Xuan heard that Wang Ji'an had come to the mansion to make trouble, and hurried over.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard Wang Ji'an asking Su Junfeng to send her to prison with red lips and white teeth, and Lu Xuan instantly lost her temper.
"What does Master Wang mean by this, being so aggressive, isn't he planning to coerce the prefect to have an affair with you?" Lu Xuan questioned Wang Ji'an.
Wang Ji'an has never been quick to speak, and when he saw this, he hurriedly instigated Su Junfeng.
"Lord Prefect, look at what this Lu Xuan said, she actually slandered her name so much in front of everyone, and she deserves a heavy punishment for being so bold!"
Hearing this, Su Junfeng turned to look at Lu Xuan: "Do you think this official is the kind of rat who will be threatened by others?" ”
Lu Xuan restrained: "The lower official has no intention of offending the adult, and please don't be instigated by the villain." ”
Su Junfeng can be regarded as having been with Lu Xuan for some time, although he can't get rid of her suspicion, he still sees her style of acting, and she is not such a villain.
Only then did Su Junfeng speak: "Master Wang is indeed in a hurry, but there is no evidence to prove the innocence of Lu County's order at the moment, so this matter will need time for the official to find out before making plans." ”
"Your Excellency!" Lu Xuan and Wang Ji'an said in unison in a rare way, one wanted to lift the ban as soon as possible, and the other wanted to put the other to death as soon as possible.
Su Junfeng didn't pay attention to any of them, and only turned his back in a dashing manner: "This matter will be decided by the official, so there is no need to wait for more." ”
With that, Su Junfeng immediately turned around and went back to the room.
Lu Xuan and Wang Ji'an looked at each other for a while, and during the time, the fire was full of fire and did not give in to each other.
Back in the room, Su Junfeng began to ponder the matter.
Fang Cai was in front of everyone, in order to save the face of his Jiangnan prefect, he pretended to be calm.
But if you think about it carefully, what Wang Ji'an said is not unreasonable, Su Junfeng has arrived in Yuanshan County for a few days, and if this case is not closed, I am afraid that it will damage his reputation as an official.
After thinking about it, now that the Wang family has some evidence intermittently, Lu Xuan has nothing to say, so after such a trade-off, it is the best policy to convict her and wait for trial.
Su Junfeng gradually came up with the idea of convicting Lu Xuan.
was hesitating, but he heard a report from his subordinates at the door: "My lord, there is a Qingpei girl outside the door who asks to see you." ”
"Qingpei?" Su Junfeng faintly remembered this person, and immediately ordered his subordinates to invite her in.
"You're here for Lu Xuan's business again?" Su Junfeng remembered and had seen Qing Pei's friendship with Lu Xuan, so he asked directly.
Qing Pei did not shy away from it, and nodded directly in acknowledgement, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the crime in Su Junfeng's hand that had been stamped with the official seal.
"What do you mean, Lord Prefect?" Qing Pei was suddenly a little annoyed.
Questioned by her, although Su Junfeng panicked for a moment in his heart, he immediately put down the things in his hand with an indifferent face.
"This official handles the case impartially, and you have no right to interrogate." Su Jun said as he turned his back on his hand, looking high.
Qing Pei gradually lost her good face, and saw her sneer: "Handle the case impartially? It's ridiculous, when did the government make a hasty decision to handle the case without even looking at the evidence? ”
Qing Pei's words broke the taboo in Su Junfeng's heart, and he was suddenly annoyed and angry: "Hugh is presumptuous!" ”
Ordinary people would probably have been so frightened that they would have knelt down and begged for mercy when they saw such anger in office, but Qingpei was not like this.
She thinks that she was born in the dust and has a cheap life, and it is a blessing in her life to be treated sincerely by Lu Xuan, and she will not hesitate to offend the official family for the sake of Lu Xuan.
Therefore, even when he heard Su Junfeng's angry reprimand, Qing Pei did not restrain at all, but straightened his waist even more.
"When I first saw Lord Lu that day, I thought that Lord Lu was as righteous as Lord Lu, but today, such thoughts obviously tarnished Lord Lu's virtues."
Qing Pei looked disdainful, Su Junfeng was simply annoyed, since he became an official, he has always adhered to his duties, and he has never been counted down like this.
But Qing Pei can also understand the feelings of his confidant, Su Junfeng can also understand, and after thinking about it, he finally endured this humiliation.
After a while, I saw Su Junfeng take a deep breath, and then asked seriously: "Didn't you come here today to insult the official and relieve the resentment in your heart?" ”
It is not easy for the Qinglou woman to go out, and since Qingpei has tried her best to come, she must have something important to tell.
Sure enough, seeing Su Junfeng asking, Qing Pei spoke: "Lord Lu was deliberately framed. ”
Qing Pei had this speculation last time, but he had no evidence, and he saw Su Junfeng for the first time, so it was difficult to say in too much detail.
But right now, Lu Xuan is in danger, if he doesn't try hard, I'm afraid that time waits for no one.
Su Junfeng naturally understood what Qing Pei meant by framing, but he had his principles.
Seeing Qingpei mention, Su Junfeng still said the same sentence: "What evidence do you have?" ”
Qing Pei was speechless: "Although I have no evidence, it is the truth that the Wang family has repeatedly targeted Lord Lu, and the Lord will know it as soon as he checks it in this county." ”
Qing Pei was anxious, but Su Junfeng was still tepid: "Even so, what does it have to do with this case?" ”
"Lord Lu once promised in public that if he could not find the son of the Wang family, he would resign from his official position and let it be disposed of, the Wang family must have wanted to use this to bring down Lord Lu and support his family to ascend to the position of county commander, which is their motive for framing Lord Lu."
Qing Pei said the key in one sentence, and then went on to ask: "The adults keep saying that Lord Lu hijacked the prince of the Wang family, but why is she like this?" ”
Hearing this, Su Junfeng raised his lips and smiled: "As you said, the Wang family has repeatedly targeted and coveted Lu Xuan's official position before, and it is not impossible for her to take revenge, or to eradicate future troubles and stabilize her position." ”
Sure enough, he couldn't reason with the official, so Qing Pei simply left a sentence: "If the parents and officials are so biased in judging the case, it will be all blamed on Qing Peisheng for being out of time." ”
After that, Qing Pei left angrily.
Su Junfeng was alone in place, her eyes full of her angry eyes and the word "prejudice" she left behind.
He just began to reflect: "Is it true that this official is biased against Lu Xuan?" ”
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Xuan's previous indecent rumors Su Junfeng had heard a little when he was in the Jiangnan Mansion, and he was quite disgusted with her at that time.
Later, when he heard about the case, he thought it was a bad official who bullied people from the beginning.
Now, combined with Qing Pei's indignant attitude, thinking about Lu Xuan's appearance of having a clear conscience about the case in the past few days, Su Junfeng's mind suddenly became a mess.
"Framed, self-directed and self-acted...... Is this really possible? He couldn't help but waver.
On the other side, hearing about the county government this morning, Qin Wei hurriedly went back to the inn to report to Gu Huan.
Knowing that Lu Xuan was almost convicted, Gu Huanli instantly became anxious: "What? How dare the Jiangnan prefect bend the law for personal gain? ”
Gu Huanli said with a posture of wanting to rush over and seal Su Jun to correct the Fa on the spot, Qin Wei hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness is angry, this matter has taken a turn for the better." ”
"Turnaround? What kind of turnaround? Gu Huanli was puzzled.
Qin Wei explained: "There was a Qingpei girl who went to the government to talk to the Jiangnan prefect for a few words, and it seems that she specially testified for Lord Lu. ”
"Qingpei? Who is that? "When Gu Huanli first came here, he didn't know much about Qingpei.
Qin Xiao also didn't know anything about it, and only responded that it was a Qinglou woman who had some friendship with Lu Xuan.
Gu Huanli couldn't help but laugh contemptuously: Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, you are really good, you have only been here for a few days, and you have not learned anything else, but you have learned to go to the Qinglou.
