Chapter 51: The Beginning and the End
"Ji Tongju, what else do you have to say now?" Zhu Houwei calmed down a little anger, and stared at Ji Lan who was kneeling on the ground and trembling in a daze.
Ji Lan raised his head with difficulty and said, "Lord Wang, the lower official is guilty......"
"It's good to know that you're guilty." Zhu Houwei sneered: "Your son carefully arranged for his own selfish interests, and in the end the matter was revealed, and he actually lost his conscience and killed the children of the famous religion, which is really a great crime, and you know that your son is lawless, but you have not thought about killing your relatives in righteousness, but you know the law and break the law, and do not hesitate to use the power in your hands to want to kill the good and cover up your son's crimes, once the Lu Liu family is beheaded, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a bright day, and the Chu family can control the entire Lu family, so that the Lu family's industry will become the bag of the Ji family from now on, it is really a good calculation, What a poisonous heart! Feng Zhifu! ”
Feng Rui's body moved, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The lower official is here."
Zhu Houwei snorted coldly: "Ji Lan, as a general judge in Huzhou, is a subordinate official of the Fuzun, Ji Lan bends the law for personal gain, and does not hesitate to harm people's lives, so that there are endless discussions in the streets and alleys, is it possible that the Lord of the Fuzun has not heard the slightest rumor?" If you have heard of it, hasn't Lord Fuzun had the slightest suspicion? Or maybe Fuzun didn't take the lives of ordinary people in his eyes at all, and he didn't want to harm his colleagues because of the lives of ordinary people! ”
Feng Rui's face was in a cold sweat, and he had already scolded the eighteenth generation of Ji Lan's ancestors in his heart, and by the way, he greeted all the female relatives of the Ji family.
Of course, King Yong's questioning couldn't hurt Feng Rui in the slightest, Feng Rui, as the prefect of Huzhou, was just a mistake of negligence at best, but if King Yong mentioned it to his brother, Feng Rui estimated that this official would be the end.
Fuck, who's messing with who!
"The petty official is negligent, the prince forgives the sin, and the lower official will impeach Ji Lan, clear the grievances in Huzhou, and return the people to a bright future."
"What should Ji Lan do?"
"This ......" Feng Rui caught blindness, no matter how Ji Lan said it, he was also sentenced to six grades, and the rogue officials appointed by the imperial court wanted to convict him, unless the imperial court wrote it, he was not qualified to strip Ji Lan off his official uniform, or even ask for prison.
"What does Xu Changshi think? Now do the two elders still think that this king is meddling, or even interfering in local government affairs? ”
Xu Zhenqing said helplessly: "The lower officials are ashamed, the lower officials think that although Ji Lan violated the national law, but the official body has not gone, after all, he is still a local official appointed by the imperial court, and he can only be punished after being convicted by the imperial court.
"Ji Lan!"
"The sinner is here!"
"Do you agree with what Xu Changshi said just now?"
"Sinner...... Recognize! ”
Zhu Houwei nodded and said: "That is the case, then it will be punished like this, as soon as the offender should be imprisoned, and the person who should be released should be released, this king has no intention of interfering in local government affairs, this matter will be handed over to Feng Fuzun and Xu Changshi to play together, and it is necessary to return justice to the people of Huzhou!"
"The subordinate obeys." A big stone in Feng Rui's heart finally fell to the ground, the meaning of King Yong's words was already obvious, he didn't intend to hold himself accountable for his negligence, but the Huzhou Mansion must take care of the head and tail of this matter, if the cooking is not good, then maybe King Yong will roll up his sleeves and end up in person.
Zhu Houwei dismissed everyone, Lu Liu had already cried silently, she was going to die today, and she could even be said to be in the court at that time, she was already in despair, she only hated her unjust death, and even hated that her master was killed but she wanted to die.
Who would have thought that things would take such a turn for the worse, and at the last moment, there would be such a twist and turn, and the high-ranking Yongwang would actually go to the court for a woman like her, and even reprimand an official in order to redress her grievances.
This is the prince, when will the lives of ordinary people enter the eyes of Wang Sun Guixuan, until this moment, Lu Liu felt that it was not very real, and finally pinched himself a few times, only then did he be sure that he was not dreaming.
"Let's go back." Zhu Houwei helped Lu Liu up and said: "Lu Juren's bones are not cold, as a housewife, you should let him look underground."
"The people's women thank the prince, thank the prince." Lu Liu knelt down and kowtowed again: "The old man left a lot of property during his lifetime, and the women are just women's families, how can they run it, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be eaten up, so the women want to dedicate the Lu family's property and land to the prince......"
"There is no need to say anything more." Zhu Houwei said with a straight face: "This king made a move, but he didn't want to see the people innocently killed, but it was not for the purpose of coveting the Lu family's property, if this king accepted the Lu family's property and land, how would the people talk about this king, wouldn't it be said that this king has bad intentions, saving people is fake, and trying to make money is true!"
Lu Liu was stunned for a moment, how could she think of such a layer, and immediately said in fear: "The folk woman never meant to let the prince bear the notoriety, but she was grateful and wanted to ......"
Zhu Houwei picked up Lu Liu's family again and said: "This king knows what you mean and knows your worries, so let's do it, it is not difficult for the Lu family's land to collect rent in the quarter, the Lu family's accounts and housekeepers will take care of it, if anyone dares to covet the Lu family's land, then you just come to this king, this king will make the decision for you, as for the Lu family's property, this king has two suggestions."
Lu Liu looked up at Zhu Houwei, but hurriedly lowered his head, in fact, just now she said that she wanted to dedicate the property and land to King Yong, not against her will, nor simply to repay her kindness, but she really didn't know how to operate, let her take charge of the huge industry, and in the end she must be deceived and deceited, and she lost again and again, and Lu Liu's after such a catastrophe, this mind was also light, and everything could be seen.
"The first suggestion is to sell, sell all the Lu family's stores, so that you don't have to worry about the shopkeeper's fake accounts, you can't understand but be pitted, the silver sold can be stored in the Wangfu Bank, the Wang's money bank can ensure that the assets of any depositor are not lost in the slightest, and it is much safer than putting it at home or even buried in the ground.
The second suggestion is that the king arranges for the shopkeeper to replace the shopkeeper who you are not at ease with, with the care of the king, at least there is no attention to the Lu family's industry. ”
"Sell...... The women were willing to sell. "Lu Liu really doesn't want to worry too much, so it is naturally easier to sell it directly.
"The woman still wants to ask the prince something."
"You say."
"What is the boy going to do?"
Although the son born to the Chu family is not the master's species, but after this year, the child will call her mother, and let Lu Liu's throw it away, which is really ruthless.
"Keep it, although Chu is not the main culprit this time, but prison is inevitable, this kid is innocent after all, let him stay by your side as a companion, as for the future, let's take a step at a time......"
