Chapter 117: Theft
Lu Yuning ignored Zifu's face, sneered coldly, and continued: "Although Zhang County is a little far away from the capital, you said that if the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion sends a letter to the county order of Zhang County, asking him to help 'take care of' your family, will it be troublesome?" ”
How can it be troublesome? Their family is just an ordinary peasant family, if the Marquis Zhongyong Mansion doesn't want her family to have a better time, he can tell the county magistrate, and the county magistrate can just give her family a crime and take her family's life.
Their family has no way and background, and even if they want to complain about injustice, they have nowhere to call it.
And although Zheng Jieyu promised to protect their family, but she didn't finish her bed, Zheng Jieyu probably wouldn't care about her, even if Zheng Jieyu was willing to take care of her, how could the Zheng family be the opponent of the loyal and brave Houdu?
She was dazzled by the benefits promised by Zheng Jieyu, thinking that if Zheng Jieyu could really give her a shop in her family, a thousand taels of silver, then her brother would not have to worry about marrying a daughter-in-law in the future, and their family would be able to eat and wear without worrying in the future, but she forgot to think about what if she was discovered?
No, in fact, Zheng Jieyu told her what if she was discovered? If she is discovered, as long as she doesn't say anything and keeps her mouth shut forever, her family can still live a prosperous life.
But she didn't expect that Lu Meiren was smarter than she imagined, and she was more ruthless than she imagined, and she didn't mean to let her family go at all.
Zifu was silent for a long time, looked up at Lu Yuning, and asked, "How can you let my family go?" ”
Lu Yuning sneered: "Why should I let you go, family, since you want to harm me for them, then you and your family will naturally have to bear the bitter consequences after the matter is revealed." ”
Zifu kowtowed deeply to Lu Yuning a few times, and begged Lu Yuning while kowtowing: "The slave and maid are blinded by lard, so they will do something to betray the master, please spare their lives for the sake of the slave and maid's family without their knowledge." ”
"Don't know?" Lu Yuning snorted coldly, "Do you think that if you don't know, you are innocent?" Since they have vested interests, they are not innocent, you must know that it is not that I am unwilling to let them go, but that your greed has harmed them, and they will not die well because of your involvement. ”
"I think they will only blame you even if they want to complain very much, I don't know if they will blame you for killing them when they go underground."
Zifu regretted her original decision very much, she kept crying with red eyes, "Master, please, everything is the slave maid's own opinion, the slave's family doesn't know anything, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid are willing to atone for their sins, please let the slave and the maid's family go." ”
"Atonement?" Lu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly, and said lightly: "How are you going to atone for your sins?" ”
Zifu couldn't wait to say: "The slave can go and tell the queen and the emperor that the slave and maid were instructed by Zheng Jieyu to frame the master." ”
Lu Yuning laughed twice when she heard "haha......", and only after laughing did Lu Yuning ask Zifu: "You said that you can tell the emperor and the queen that they were instructed by Zheng Jieyu to frame me, what evidence do you have for this?" Did Zheng Jieyu give you a token or a note? ”
Zifu froze there when she heard this, how could Zheng Jieyu give her these, at that time, she also asked Zheng Jieyu for a token, but Zheng Jieyu sent her away in a few words.
At that time, Zheng Jieyu said that their Zheng family was as rich as that, how could they care about the three melons and two dates that were promised to her, and the little things that leaked out of the Zheng family's fingers were much more than those promised to her family.
Zheng Jieyu also said that if she gave her a token, if she was accidentally discovered, neither she nor herself would end well, and not giving her the token was also to prevent her from being discovered before she had done anything.
And Zheng Jieyu swore at the time, saying that if she couldn't do it, she would be able to make her thunder and die well.
She also thought that the Zheng family was one of the richest families in the world, and it was impossible to miss a shop and a thousand taels of silver that promised her, so she didn't insist on asking Zheng Jieyu for tokens.
Lu Yuning had already guessed that it was impossible for Zheng Jieyu to leave the handle in Zifu's hands, and seeing Zifu frozen there, she knew that she was right.
Since Zifu has no evidence in her hand that can identify Zheng Jieyu, then Zifu ran to the emperor and the queen and said that it was Zheng Jieyu who framed her, but it was likely that Zheng Jieyu would bite her back.
After all, Zifu is a person from her Linglong Pavilion, if Zheng Jieyu said that she was jealous of her and let her palace maid slander her, she would put herself in a predicament.
"Gagged her and sent her to the Inner Prison." Lu Yuning thought about it and coldly ordered Zhou Man.
"Lord ......" Zifu heard this, and continued to beg Lu Yuning to let Lu Yuning let her family go. Zhou Man had already quickly stuffed the rag into her mouth.
Zhou Man glanced at Zifu, who couldn't speak, and was in a hurry, and asked Lu Yuning hesitantly: "Master, what if the people in the inner court prison ask the villain about her responsibility?" ”
Lu Yuning said lightly: "Steal." ”
"Yes, master." Zhou Man nodded, and escorted Zifu to the inner court prison with a swagger.
On the way, I occasionally met familiar palace maids and eunuchs, and asked Zifu what mistakes she made, Zhou Man also said bluntly: "This cheap maid actually took advantage of the master's absence to steal the master's things, and didn't want to be caught. ”
When the palace people and eunuchs heard Zhou Man say that Lu Yuning was kind-hearted and sent people to the inner court prison, the smile on their faces almost couldn't be maintained.
Who in the palace didn't know the horror of the Inner Court Prison, and those palace people and eunuchs who had made mistakes would rather die than go to the Inner Court Prison.
It is said that if you go to the inner court prison, you can't survive, you can't die.
Lan Xin had been paying attention to Linglong Pavilion, and she naturally knew about Zhou Man's escort to the Inner Court Prison when she took Zifu to the Inner Court Prison.
After knowing this, she hurriedly reported the matter to Zheng Jieyu.
Zheng Jieyu was lying on the bed, and after hearing Lan Xin say that Zhou Man sent people to the Inner Court Prison, and was charged with stealing, she shook her head and said with some disappointment: "Lu Meiren seems to be more difficult to deal with than I imagined." ”
Lan Xin was afraid that Zheng Jieyu would be angry, so she hurriedly said: "The slave maid thinks that Zifu is too incompetent, if she can dispose of the veil, maybe it will be Lu Meiren herself who will be sent to the inner court prison at this time." ”
Zheng Jieyu didn't speak, she wasn't actually angry. Although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't take this opportunity to get rid of Lu Yuning, it was not her main purpose to get rid of Lu Meiren this time.
Although it is a pity to miss this opportunity, it will be a long time coming, and there will be more opportunities in the future, so she will slowly figure out a way.
