Menzi heard someone knocking on the door and immediately came out to look.

"Is Mrs. Lu here?" Caught up with him and asked again.

Menzi saw that there were several officials standing at the door, and hurriedly asked, "Madame is at home." What are you doing with your wife? ”

Catch Kuai said with a cold face: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so I asked your wife to come out to see me." ”

Menzi saw that the tone of the catcher was so blunt, and he said in his heart What is wrong?

This is the home of the four-grade master, and the door is not too afraid, so he immediately went to Tongyu.

"Who's out there?" Lu Qianying asked when she saw Menzi coming in a hurry.

Mrs. Lu also frowned, revealing a strange look.

Menzi also replied with a strange face: "Madam, there are several officials outside, saying that they want you to go out to meet them." ”

"What? Is it an official errand outside? Lu Qianying was taken aback first.

Mrs. Lu's face immediately turned gloomy, "What? Are they really suspicious of me? ”

Lu Qianying hurriedly said: "Mother, where is my father drinking?" I'm going to call him back!" Don't go out until my dad comes back! ”

Mrs. Lu wrinkled her eyebrows, "Aren't you just going to meet them?" I didn't do anything, I'm not afraid! Let's go to the door together, and then you go to your father again. ”

Lu Qianying hurriedly stopped Mrs. Lu, "Mother, don't be impulsive, you still have to listen to me!" You're here until my dad comes back! Is it difficult for those officials to dare to break in? You're waiting here, I'm going to find my daddy! ”

Before leaving, Lu Qianying specially instructed the maids to stop Mrs. Lu.

The catchers stood at the door and waited for a long time without anyone coming out, and they were all impatient.

Someone finally came out, but it turned out to be Mrs. Lu.

Lu Qianying came to the door and smiled politely at these catchers, and asked, "May I ask what happened to a few people who came to find my mother?" ”

One of them replied, "We have been ordered by Lord Jingzhao Yin to invite Mrs. Lu to Jingzhao Mansion. I just asked Mrs. a few words, and asked Miss not to worry. ”

Lu Qianying's heart jumped suddenly, but she said quietly: "Since it is Lord Jing Zhaoyin who wants to ask, we naturally have to do our best to cooperate." But my mother is sick, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed for a while. In this case, I'll go get my dad back and let him go with you to Jing Zhaoyin, how about it? ”

Caught up in embarrassment and said, "This ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? Lord Lu, he ......"

Lu Qianying suddenly put away the polite smile on her face, looked at this catcher in a slightly cold voice, and said, "Please wait here for a while, my father will be back soon." ”

After Lu Qianying finished speaking, she took the carriage to find Lu Changzhi.

The catchers came to invite Mrs. Lu, but they didn't dare to break into the mansion of the dignified four-grade official, and several people had to wait helplessly at the door.

Lu Qianying knew which restaurant Lu Changzhi often drank in, and quickly found him, and dragged him to the carriage without saying anything.

Lu Changzhi asked with a blanket face: "Girl, what are you doing here?" Is something going on at home? ”

Lu Qianying said hurriedly: "Isn't there an accident at home!" My mother is going to be taken away by the official! ”

Lu Changzhi asked incredulously, "What's going on?" How could your mother be taken away by the officials? ”

Lu Qianying said anxiously: "I don't know what's going on, maybe the county lord of Jingyi suspected my son's affairs to my mother, right?" ”

"What? Outrageous! ”

Lu Changzhi knew about Mrs. Lu's festival with the county lord of Jingyi, but he didn't believe that Mrs. Lu would be so bold.

Lu Changzhi was also in a hurry at this time, and told the coachman to hurry up.

When the catchers saw that Lu Changzhi still had to salute respectfully, Lu Changzhi put up an official stand in front of them.

"You have come by order, and the old man will not embarrass you. However, my wife is sick in bed and can't get up, so in order not to cause trouble to Lord Jing Zhaoyin, the old man will take a trip with you instead of his wife. ”

The catchers really couldn't force their way in to check what was going on, so they had to let Lu Changzhi go with them instead of Mrs. Lu.

Lu Qianying immediately told Mrs. Lu that Lu Changzhi went instead of her, Mrs. Lu's heart was temporarily relaxed, she thought for a while, and then asked Lu Qianying to go out to inquire whether the ladies who had a holiday with the county lord of Jingyi before had been called to Jingzhao Mansion for questioning.

Lu Qianying asked Mrs. Lu to go back to the house to pretend to be sick, and she immediately went out to inquire.

As soon as she inquired, she found out that Jing Zhaoyin really didn't just ask Mrs. Lu to interrogate, he almost found all the wives who had a holiday with the county lord of Jingyi.

And there are several ladies who, like Mrs. Lu, are pretending to be sick at home and refusing to go, and they also let their own masters go instead of their own families.

Lu Qianying was not so scared anymore, and went home to comfort her mother.

When Lu Changzhi arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, he found that other families were the same as his family, except for the master who went to other places to do errands, all of them came in place of his wife.

When he arrived, there were already eight people standing in the lobby, but there were only three ladies present, and the others were all masters.

After everyone arrived, Jing Zhaoyin asked people to close the door so as not to let more people know.

Jing Zhaoyin looked at the officials and family members of the fourth grade or above standing in front of him, and his mood was extremely complicated.

He was just a fourth-grade official, and now he had to interrogate many of his superiors, which was really embarrassing for him.

"Master Jiang, what the hell did you call us to Jingzhao Mansion? I still have a lot of excerpts to report to the Holy Lord in my hand, and if the military plane is delayed, it doesn't hurt that you can take charge of me and stay with you for the night. ”

It was Shangshu Weikang of the Ministry of War who spoke, and when Jing Zhaoyin saw that he was here, he almost hated Captain Ke and the county lord of Jingyi to death.

These two people have good names but they are both nominal and insubstantial, but the people standing in front of Jing Zhaoyin are all officials with real power, which one is not better than those two?

But a false name can also oppress people, Jing Zhaoyin doesn't dare to offend anyone, the hot potato will burn his palms out of the bubble, and he doesn't dare to throw the potato out.

Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly smiled at Wei Kang and said, "Lord Wei, the lower officials are also entrusted by others, so they called your lords and wives here." I'm just afraid of bothering you any more, so I thought I'd just get you all together and ask them all together. ”

Wei Kang said angrily: "Who have you been entrusted with? What is it that called us here? Don't beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point! ”

Everyone else also looked at him coldly, and a layer of cold sweat instantly oozed from Jing Zhaoyin's head.

"To tell you the truth, I was entrusted by Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi. You must have heard about Ke Gongzi somewhat, right? Although this incident made Gongzi Ke suffer a little guilty, Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi said that this is a lesson to Gongzi Ke and it should be. The county lord of Jingyi wanted to ask who did this? She didn't blame this person, she just wanted to know who helped her teach her son that she couldn't teach, and wanted to thank him in person. ”

Jing Zhaoyin's words were so bullshitty that no one believed them at all.

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but say: "Lord Jiang, you don't have to say so much, we all know what you mean by calling us here, and we also know what Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi think?" I'll also tell you the truth, you should know that the county lord of Jingyi has no one in her eyes on weekdays, and the people she has offended are not far from us. But neither we nor our wives are calculating people, and none of us have the leisure to do such boring things. You better let us all go home, and we'll go to Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi to make it clear." ”

Lu Changzhi's words were echoed by everyone, and they talked nonsense.

Of course, Jing Zhaoyin knew that no one would believe his nonsense at all, but how could he open his mouth and say directly: Who played Gongzi Ke so much? If you don't tell the truth, the county lord of Jingyi is in a hurry, but he has to complain in front of the queen mother.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Jing Zhaoyin interrupted their words stubbornly, and said to them with a smile, "Everyone, please listen to me." You should all know the temper of the county lord of Jingyi, and you should also know that King Xiao has won Long's grace, and the emperor has great respect for his old man. The Queen Mother also took pity on the county lord of Jingyi and treated her like her own daughter. Let's close the door today and make our words clear, and we don't need the county lord of Jingyi to enter the palace......"

Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to finish his words, but his words still had an effect, and everyone was really quiet, and their expressions became a little solemn.

Wei Kang glanced at Lu Changzhi, Lu Changzhi pursed his lips helplessly, and pointed to the top of his head with his finger.

Wei Kang had a lot of headaches about the fight between these women, and the one in his family was a cautious person, but fortunately his wife had gone back to her mother's house to visit her relatives a few days ago, otherwise he would have wondered if his wife had done it.

He is not afraid of Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi, nor is he afraid that the county lord of Jingyi will find the queen mother to complain.

But he once served as a subordinate official under King Xiao, and he respected King Xiao very much.

He was afraid that the county lord of Jingyi would not relentlessly move King Xiao out and block his old man's house.

However, this matter is related to the innocence of the family, even if you want to offend people, you can't take this matter on yourself.

Wei Kang is the highest official here, he thought about it and said, "Master Jiang, it's not the old man who is embarrassing you. It's just that we are at least officials of the state, and we know how to be polite, righteous and honest, and we will not use such indiscriminate means to retaliate against Lord Jingyixuan. And this is unfounded, what do you tell us to say? We all say we didn't do it ourselves, and you don't believe it. But if you admit it, won't you be unjustly killed? ”

Wei Kang said that there was nothing wrong with this, but don't ask anything, Jing Zhaoyin didn't know how to deal with Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi.

When he was in a dilemma, Lu Changzhi spoke.

"Master Jiang, we won't embarrass you. In this case, let's go to the Governor's Mansion to find them and their husbands, and let them ask us directly. If you don't believe us, you can follow us to the Governor's Mansion to supervise our words and deeds. ”

Jing Zhaoyin saw that it didn't work to move King Xiao and the Queen Mother out, so he had to say helplessly: "That'...... Alas, that's the only way to do it. Then don't go together, but go apart, lest you attract attention. Ke Duwei and the county lord of Jingyi didn't want to make this matter known to everyone. ”
