"Master Lu, still don't you want to tell Miss Liu's whereabouts!"

Hua Qingyan asked Lu Mingyao with burning eyes, but the momentum that erupted in an instant made Lu Mingyao have nowhere to hide at all. But Lu Mingyao knew that if he confessed Liu Mengying, he would not be able to escape the blame. He gritted his teeth and said, "Girl, is this suspicious of my cousin?" Just based on this old man's words, I concluded that Miss Zhou's kidnapping was with my cousin, which is child's play! ”

Lu Mingyao stiffened his neck, stared at Hua Qingyan, and leaned closer to Lu Zhi's side, as if this would make his words stand and be more confident.

"Besides, my cousin and the girl of that week are carefree, why kidnap her! My cousin is the eldest lady of the Liu family, what kind of identity did the girl have that week, and she didn't deserve to be troubled by my cousin! ”

Lu Mingyao's words made Hua Qingyan particularly angry, there is no distinction between high and low in her concept, but this Lu Mingyao's words are clearly telling her that Liu Mengying's status is noble, but it is not something that ordinary people like them can climb casually, and they are also telling Hua Qingyan that there is absolutely no good end to going against the Liu family!

This is the darkness under the protection of officials and officials, and the collusion between officials and businessmen.

Hua Qingyan ignored Lu Mingyao's quibbles, her eyes fell on Lu Zhi, and she looked at him directly: "Lu Zhifu, there is already a suspect, I don't know what Lu Zhifu is going to do next." ”

Lu Zhi could not say anything else at this time, if he did not agree to investigate Liu Mengying, then the next thing he would face was the contempt and questioning of the entire Fucheng people.

Lu Zhi waved his hand: "Go and bring Liu Mengying over!" ”

There were too many people gathered at the mouth of the alley, so Hua Qingyan persuaded and asked Mrs. Hua to take people back to the house. If there is any news, we must notify them as soon as possible. But Mrs. Hua was stubborn, and she didn't want to leave without getting news of Zhou Xiaoyan. The same is true for others, perhaps it was the attitude of the Lu family before that made them suspicious, so although they didn't say anything clearly, it obviously meant that they wanted to stay and supervise.

Hua Qingyan smiled, thanked Zhou Yao, and waited for the result.

Time passed minute by minute, not only did he not come back when he went out to look for someone, but even Liu Mengying did not bring it over. Zhou Yao became more and more anxious, it has been more than an hour since Zhou Xiaoyan disappeared, and the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous Zhou Xiaoyan will be!

Hua Qingyan's brows also became tighter and tighter, not only did she not come back, but even Yu Jiamin was gone. Of course, Hua Qingyan would not doubt Yu Jiamin, she clearly understood Yu Jiamin's sincerity, but it was precisely because of this that she was worried. Maybe Yu Jiamin is in danger? Tripped up by a master? Otherwise, how could he not come back now!

Hua Qingyan was uneasy, but she couldn't show it, and there was Zhou Yao next to him, although this kid was a scholar, he had never seen such a scene, and it was about his relatives, and his calmness had already been thrown out. Hua Qingyan couldn't show the slightest anxiety, otherwise it would affect Zhou Yao and others.

She took a deep breath and said coldly to Governor Lu's mansion: "Lord Lu, why hasn't this suspect been brought yet!" ”

Hua Qingyan's question asked all the doubts hidden in many people's hearts, and seeing that this person spoke first, they had no reason to watch, and said one after another: "Yes, yes, what time is it, the suspect hasn't been brought over yet, Lord Lu, don't your subordinates listen to your orders!" ”

"Lord Lu, could it be that the suspect is your niece, and you have to cover it up for personal gain!"

"Lord Lu, Miss Liu is still just a suspect, and she has not yet been proven to be the mastermind behind the scenes, so you are covering up like this, could it be that she is really the main culprit who kidnapped Miss Zhou! Lord Lu, as the prefect of a state, you can't know the law and break the law, and cheat for personal gain! ”

Such a sharp question made Lu Zhi fidget, he kept wiping the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and said that everyone should be calm, but in his heart, he had already scolded everyone fiercely. He has been an official for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been forced into such a situation by these people. His official prestige, his status cannot be demonstrated at all at this moment!

While scolding these people, Lu Zhi also glared at Lu Mingyao fiercely. He didn't know what happened, but judging from his son's attitude, the kidnapping of the Zhou girl must be related to him and Liu Mengying. And his people haven't been able to bring Liu Mengying over yet, I'm afraid it's also a good thing done by his own kid!

Lu Zhi hated it so much, this son would only drag him back! After the little marquis came last time, although he restrained a little, but now he is back to the old state, and he has brought Liu Mengying to do such a big thing, which makes Lu Zhi want to stuff Lu Mingyao back into his mother's belly and give birth again!

Last time, it was the little marquis, if there is someone else this time, then the black gauze hat on his head will not be able to keep it!

Just when everyone was impatient to wait, and even began to suspect Lu Zhi, Liu Mengying was finally brought in. But it didn't look like pulling a suspect, but the daughter of a certain family went out and came over in a carriage.

When everyone saw the carriage, they were in an uproar, "This is Lord Lu's attitude?" Is this how suspects are treated? Lord Lu, if you want to cover up, don't bring people over, who are you going to look at? Do you want to tell us these people, people who have a relationship with your Lu family, even the suspects can enjoy it! ”

"What's wrong? Who said I was a suspect, and before Lord Lu spoke, you had already convicted me? What are you, it's not your turn to speak! Liu Mengying lifted the curtain and glanced at these people with wide eyes, her face full of disdain. In her eyes, these people were nothing, people her uncle could pinch to death with a single finger.

Liu Mengying's attitude was too bad, just these words offended everyone completely, and even ignited the anger in their hearts.

Mrs. Hua was so angry that she said hello three times in a row: "Okay, good, this is your tutor, girl, the old body is an eye-opener today!" Governor Lu, since the person has arrived, let's start the trial on official business, so many of us are watching, Governor Lu has to weigh it! ”

Lu Zhi was extremely embarrassed at the moment, even he didn't expect that Liu Mengying's attitude would be so arrogant, he didn't take Daqi's law in his eyes at all, let alone his uncle! Rao was originally going to favor Lu Zhi, who was biased towards Liu Mengying, and he was also annoyed at this time.

But before Lu Zhi had a seizure, Liu Mengying spoke again, "My uncle is the prefect, what do you mean by pointing fingers at the side?" Is it possible that you still want to go beyond the bounds? Replace my uncle? I can tell you, in this city, and in the whole state, my uncle is the greatest! What do you want my uncle to look at your face and do things, you really think of yourself! ”

Lu Zhi was so angry with Liu Mengying that he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, he grabbed Lu Mingyao beside him to stabilize his figure, glared angrily at Liu Mengying, and scolded: "Rebel girl! Don't let me down yet! Who gave you permission to talk nonsense here! Have you Liu family's upbringing been eaten by dogs! ”

"Uncle!" Liu Mengying was stunned by this shout, and even more couldn't believe that her uncle who loved her would murder her! Such a gap made Liu Mengying not know how to react for a while.

Lu Zhi didn't care about this, and directly ordered his subordinates to drag Liu Mengying off the carriage. The actions of those officials were already rude, and when they saw that Lu Zhi was angry, they naturally didn't dare to treat Liu Mengying preferentially, and they didn't have any sense of proportion! Liu Mengying, who was still stunned, was dragged out of the carriage by force, and fell directly to the ground with a stumble under her feet!

"Ahhhh What are you doing! How can you do this to me! I'm going to get my uncle out of your position!" ”

Liu Mengying, who was hurt by the fall, came back to her senses and scolded angrily, and before she could stand up, she was lifted by the official on the side and put her arm in front of Lu Zhi.

"What are you doing! Uncle, look at these people, what's going on! Uncle, you ......"

"Enough! Liu Mengying! Lu Zhi yelled, Liu Mengying was so frightened that she shrunk her neck, and the chatter in her mouth stopped abruptly.

Lu Zhi didn't want to delay with Liu Mengying, let Liu Mengying continue like this, she was not the only one who was ashamed! His face as the prefect was also lost by her!

"Liu Mengying, let me ask you, when you were in the Hua family, you went to those places!" Lu Zhi asked sharply.

"I ......" Liu Mengying was stunned, she looked at Lu Zhi's face as heavy as black charcoal, and then looked at Lu Mingyao, who was silent but full of worry next to Lu Zhi, and her eyes swept over everyone at the entrance of the alley. At this moment, she finally sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and she finally came to her senses.

Liu Mengying stood up and just wanted to go back to the carriage to put on the gauze hat, but was stopped by the official. Liu Mengying took two more steps forward, but the official still had no intention of letting her go.

Liu Mengying stopped and turned to look at Lu Zhi: "Back to Lord Lu, in Washington, I have been with Lu Gongzi all the time, and I have not left an inch. ”

Liu Mengying was terrifyingly calm at the moment, and she even had a shallow smile on her face. She didn't seem to care about the strange look and ugliness that her shoulder-length hair brought her, and she just stood upright, calmly facing everyone's suspicions and scrutiny.

Lu Zhi looked at Lu Mingyao because of Liu Mengying's words, and the latter nodded, confirming that what Liu Mengying said was true.

"Although you haven't left an inch, you still have to tell me where you have gone and who you have met!" Lu Zhi waved his hand and looked at Lu Mingyao: "Lu Mingyao, come on!" ”

"Ahh Lu Mingyao shrank back and glanced at Liu Mengying, countless reasons and excuses flashed in his mind, but he couldn't find the most suitable one to fool this matter. Moreover, in the face of Lu Zhi's sharp eyes, he couldn't lie.

Lu Mingyao pursed his lips, turned his head and whispered, "I went to the backyard kitchen." ”

"And then! You explain it to me clearly, but I saw the girl that week! Have you ever seen someone kidnap Miss Zhou? ”
