Naturally, he brought the news back to the Lu mansion, Wei Xiuyuan was of course very happy when he heard it, thinking that King Ning could be regarded as impartially enforcing the law, at least he returned the girl's innocence and did not favor Lord Liu.

But Xiao Man was worried, his eyebrows couldn't be stretched, Wei Xiuyuan naturally felt very strange when he saw Xiao Man's depressed performance.

Xiaoman, what's wrong with you, why do you look sullen?

Xiaoman sighed.

"I'm worried that Lord Liu will directly arrest his son and confess his guilt, and then save the family from disaster."

Wei Xiuyuan scratched his head.

"No, it's his own son, do you want to give up your own son to keep the glory and wealth?"

Li Niang looked at Wei Xiuyuan, then at Xiao Man, and said lightly.

"There is nothing impossible about this, you must know that Lord Liu is not the only son, you can take the initiative to take this son to the Jinluan Palace to admit his mistakes, if the attitude is sincere, the emperor will not be able to say anything, so he can only punish him a little, and he will not be a threat at all."

Hearing Li Niang say this, Wei Xiuyuan's whole face turned red with anger, he didn't expect such a result to be tried, but he still couldn't bring Master Liu to justice.

"So what should we do?"

But Xiaoman didn't answer for a long time.

And in the palace, as they thought, Lord Liu directly tied his son to the Jinluan Palace, the emperor saw this scene, and was more surprised, Lord Liu is usually smooth, but he didn't expect that today he changed his usual behavior and directly tied his son to the Jinluan Palace.

Lord Liu would do this, and he also heard the result of King Ning's trial, but he didn't expect that King Ning didn't give himself any face, so the verdict was clear and clear, so Lord Liu returned home and immediately discussed it with his master.

"So, what do you say about this, this is after my son killed someone, I tried to find someone to blame him, if the emperor knew about it, wouldn't I be dead!"

The master immediately brought a cup of tea to Lord Liu, he didn't want to be so angry.

"Lord Liu, don't worry, if you mess up now, that son will really die."

Lord Liu snorted coldly, now at this juncture, let him not worry, how is this possible.

"Tell me, what else can you do."

The master slowly analyzed.

"My lord, now that this matter has been found out by King Ning, it is impossible for King Ning to shield us again, if I am an adult, take Gongzi to the Jinluan Palace to ask the emperor for guilt, in this way, the emperor will see that you are loyal, and at most he will blame Gongzi, but you and the Liu family can be saved."

Hearing that the master actually wanted his son to go, how could he bear to admit the guilt of Lord Liu, he was so angry that he smashed the cup on the ground at once, seeing that Lord Liu was so angry, the master also felt very helpless, to say that there is no way out except this method now.

"What are you talking about, let my son confess, isn't it just to let my son die?"

The master hurriedly said, "If the prince encounters such a thing, if he is not punished, it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world, but Lord Liu, you have to think about it, your son has indeed committed such a crime, coupled with your selfishness, and the joint criminal department covers up, if you don't turn yourself in, will the emperor easily let you go?" Let go of the Liu family? ”

When Lord Liu heard what was indeed going on, he didn't want to earn half of his life's fame, but he was buried because of this incident, he gritted his teeth and could only take his son to the Jinluan Palace, looking at his son begging for mercy in embarrassment, Lord Liu's heart was like a drop of blood, but how could his son be as important as the glory of the generation left behind, and he could only sacrifice him first at this time.

The emperor was naturally very embarrassed when he saw the father and son, and only saw Lord Liu say righteously.

Your Majesty, since King Ning found out that this matter was done by my unfilial son, then please ask the emperor to deal with my unfilial son immediately, and don't let the world see the joke.

When the emperor heard Lord Liu say this, he didn't know what to say, Lord Liu's words were simply scheming, and he didn't just leave himself and this matter clean, as if he didn't help his son, and he didn't know what his son had done.

The emperor frowned, it turned out that Lord Liu was forced to do this, and he could only follow what Lord Liu thought, and not dispose of him and the Liu family for the time being.

So the emperor said slowly.

Lord Liu, your son is really unforgivable for doing such a thing that people and gods are angry about, and I have to punish him well, but seeing that you took the initiative to admit your mistakes, I exiled him.

Hearing the exile, Lord Liu's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, but now that he had already said it, how could he take it back if he wanted his son to confess his sin, so he knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Exile is already the emperor's extrajudicial grace, the old minister thanked the emperor, but my son's body is too weak, if he is exiled, I am afraid that he will die a small life, and ask the emperor to exile my son in a place that is not so difficult, leaving him a small life."

The emperor sighed, looked at Lord Liu was a handful of years, and naturally he couldn't bear to let him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and planned to exile his son to Ryukyu Island and let his son fend for himself, but he didn't expect that Lord Liu made such a request at this time, if such a request was not allowed, it seemed that the king was too ruthless, so he agreed to Lord Liu's request.

"Okay, let your son be exiled to Xuzhou."

Hearing the emperor's concession, Lord Liu immediately thanked him.

The news reached Lu Zhai, but everyone was very angry.

"This Lord Liu is really like an old fox, I didn't expect that he would be willing to sacrifice his son to keep the glory of his generation and the wealth of his family, there are really some means."

Li Niang said fiercely beside him, he didn't admire Lord Liu's brain, nor did he admire Lord Liu's strategy, she just admired Lord Liu's ruthlessness, you must know that children are the hearts and minds of parents, Lord Liu did such a thing to hurt his children, and he didn't know how much pain he endured in his heart before he could do it.

'Then what to do now, we can't let Lord Liu escape such a crime, to say that his son is not sentenced to death, just an exile, who knows if he will do anything again, take his son back, and do some illegal things. ’

Wei Xiuyuan said indignantly beside him, he didn't understand why the emperor was so soft-hearted, and forgave Lord Liu again and again.

Lu Li sighed, Lord Liu is now the head of the ministers, the emperor's face must still be given to him, if Lord Liu takes the initiative to admit his mistake but still gets a heavy punishment, this is the emperor is inconsiderate, and the important ministers in the court will feel that the emperor is not benevolent enough, not a benevolent monarch, so who can believe the emperor.

"Xiuyuan, did the emperor say anything else?"

Wei Xiuyuan nodded, and there was naturally more than enough news he had heard.

"If you want to say that the emperor has also dealt with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the waiter of the Criminal Department, this matter is not blamed on Lord Liu at all, but it is all borne by these two unlucky eggs, these two unlucky eggs are now locked up in the prison, and it is estimated that they will be beheaded in a while, but they are originally officials of the Criminal Department, and they actually bend the law for personal gain, they really deserve to be killed."

Hearing Wei Xiuyuan say this, Xiao Man felt that the two officials of the Criminal Department were also a little pitiful, thinking that they were also doing things for Lord Liu, but he didn't expect such a result.

"Could it be that this Shangshu of the Criminal Department is so willing to go to prison and unwilling to confess to Lord Liu?"

"Xiao Man felt a little disbelieving in his heart, after all, human nature is like this, if Lord Liu doesn't give him a little benefit from the Criminal Department Shangshu, how can this Criminal Department Shangshu be so desperate."

Wei Xiuyuan thought about it, he has also learned a lot about the situation of the criminal department in Beijing recently, to say that the criminal department is also an honest and honest person, you must know that the household department loan, he actually did not participate in it at all, and he usually does things very rigorously, but he doesn't know that he was deceived by Lord Liu's rhetoric, so he promised to protect Lord Liu's son.

"After he was imprisoned, Lord Liu naturally sealed his family with ten thousand taels of gold, you must know that this golden ten thousand taels were carried into the home of the criminal department Shangshu, so that his family can live with peace of mind in the future, and the criminal department Shangshu will naturally not confess his affairs, since the criminal department Shangshu does not speak, this criminal department squire naturally has nothing to say, after all, his top boss has been arrested, how can he be spared."

Xiao Man was a little surprised at this time, "This Lord Liu was still unable to take out 400,000 taels at all because of the matter of collecting money from the household department, how can he even take out 10,000 taels of gold at this time?" ”

Wei Xiuyuan sighed.

"Don't you know, Lord Liu did exhaust all his thoughts in order to save his son's life, and now he sold all the land in his hands, it is estimated that he also wants to keep Qingshan in fear of no firewood, after all, he is in the position of Xiangguo, as long as he keeps it for one day, he will have the opportunity to collect money, why should he care about silver at this time, after all, his son is also his life-root-son."

Li Niang laughed when she heard Wei Xiuyuan's words.

This made Wei Xiuyuan strange, to say that he said this so sincerely, showing how sad he was in his heart, why did Li Niang actually smile.

"Senior Liniang, what are you laughing at? What's so funny about this? ”

"Lord Wei, think about it, although the Shangshu of the Criminal Department got ten thousand taels of gold, he naturally doesn't open his mouth now, but the waiter of the Criminal Department has not gotten anything, but it is because his top boss was arrested, so he has no way to accept his fate, I think if we provoke a little, this waiter of the Criminal Department will immediately fall to us, instead of choosing to continue to shield Lord Liu."

Xiaoman nodded.
