Chapter 461: Lost Hope
With Jinxi's words, Mrs. Lu clearly saw the expressions of the people around her, they believed in Jinxi, believed in the prince, believed in Yang Tinghe, but didn't believe her.
And after hearing that she was going to clarify the slander against Lord Yang, they pointed at her one by one with righteous indignation, as if she had done a heinous bad thing.
"I knew that he must have deliberately slandered Lord Yang, how could Lord Yang frame others because of personal grudges, maybe the burning of potatoes was instigated by Lu Shen, and their Lu family has nothing good."
"Last time, she still had the face to slander Lord Yang, but this time she made trouble in the palace again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should give her some color to see, and she didn't dare to make trouble again."
"If the Lu family really participated in the burning of potatoes, this kind of crime is extremely heinous, and they should be beheaded all over the house."
Mrs. Lu's face was pale, but she finally lowered her head, and loudly admitted that she had framed Lord Yang, looking at Jinxi's triumphant mouth, she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Today, she endured this humiliation, it was just an expedient measure, and when Lu Shen came back, she must double the humiliation she received today, not only Yang Tinghe, but also the little eunuch in front of her, and even Li Yunxing, she must make them regret what they did today.
Seeing Mrs. Lu say these words in public, Jin Xi clapped her hands.
"Mrs. Lu can really bend and stretch, and I hope you will remember today's lesson, be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, but you can no longer listen to the wind and rain, if your Lord Lu goes back, you must urge him to be more of a clean official on weekdays, and don't associate too much with unworthy people, and it will affect your Lu family in vain."
This seemed to be threatening her not to let Lu Shen and Liu Zhongqing and others come into contact, Mrs. Lu sneered in her heart, saying that she was packing herself vigorously for the sake of potatoes, but in fact it was still a factional struggle.
"I see."
The forbidden army let go of her hand, Mrs. Lu struggled to stand up, glared at the people in front of her, and then turned to leave, she was so embarrassed today that she didn't want to go out recently.
On the other side, although Yang Tinghe was not at the scene, he heard the news from his subordinates and nodded, he didn't care what others thought of him, and he didn't need others to be angry for him.
But he felt that there must be a reason why the prince did this, and he had to accept it.
When the next person came to report the incident, Lu Shen was in the cell next to him, and he had already heard that his wife went outside to cry and complain that Yang Tinghe tortured him in order to avenge his personal revenge, and he was still a little proud in his heart.
He knew the difficult appearance of his wife, and he relied on his ability to cry, make trouble, and hang himself, which blocked his way to take a concubine, and his wife was the wife of Emperor Wu's own order, even if the prince came in person, he had to be respectful to her.
Lu Shen believes that with her previous nonsense and the sympathy of the surrounding people, it is best to go to the palace, make trouble to the queen's mother, and put pressure on Yang Tinghe, I don't believe that he dares to torture him.
That's right, this kid really dares, although he didn't personally torture him, but under his command, the two soldiers took the steel and poked it into their fingernails, Lu Shenjiao has been raised for most of his life, he has suffered like this, he immediately fainted in pain, and then, he was woken up by a bucket of water, so repeatedly, he really couldn't stand it.
He is now beginning to think that if he is really let out, when facing the people of the world and the crown prince, he will definitely cry about Yang Tinghe's bold behavior, he is also an old minister in the court, and he will definitely make this life worse than death.
I was dreaming in my heart, and it seemed that I could even bear these punishments at the moment, but who knew that today I heard a report from the forbidden army, and my mother-in-law not only did not save herself, but also apologized to Yang Tinghe in public, and admitted to slandering him in front of many people.
How is this different from what he expected, could it be that the mother-in-law accepted the benefits of Yang Tinghe?
Now that even the last hope of being able to save him was shattered, the breath that Lu Shen was holding back finally leaked out, and instead began to notice the pain all over his body.
Yang Tinghe waved his hand, and the soldiers who came to report immediately retreated, and Lu Shen stared at his face tightly, and suddenly laughed twice.
"I know, this must be a game set up by you, you want to get words out of my mouth, so you deliberately said these words to trick me, I know my mother-in-law best, even if she is not for me, for her own face, it is impossible for her to apologize in public, I know what you are planning, you die, from my mouth, you will never be able to ask anything."
Yang Tinghe frowned and looked at Lu Shen, and suddenly felt blessed to his heart, and asked people to call back the soldiers who had just come to report.
"Mrs. Lu apologized to me in public and admitted that she wronged me, is this true or false? Tell the story as it is. ”
The soldier looked up puzzled, it had always been him who had reported the news outside to Lord Yang, he had noticed that Lord Yang didn't care about Mrs. Lu's actions, and it was the same just now, but who knew that he suddenly called him over.
"Back to my lord, Mrs. Lu cried at the gate of the yamen, and ran to the palace, begging the queen to be the master, the queen called His Royal Highness the prince over, Mrs. Lu cried that Lord Lu was tortured in prison, and said that you let go of your words and one life is worth one life, His Royal Highness the prince suspected that Mrs. Lu was planting eyeliner in the forbidden army camp, so Mrs. Lu admitted that she was hearsay and took the initiative to go out to apologize."
Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Lu Shen, and sure enough, he saw that his face was gray, this reason was reasonable, I really didn't expect Li Yunxing's little rabbit cub's brain to turn so fast, and he actually seized the loophole in his words and forced them to ask them in turn.
If this is the case, then the mother-in-law will indeed choose to apologize in public, after all, it is better than secretly inserting eyeliner in the barracks and connecting the nine clans.
In other words, Yang Tinghe did not deceive people, he really cut off a way to survive, as soon as he thought about this, Lu Shen's whole air pressure was lowered, and he even felt that the pain in his body was unbearable anymore, Yang Tinghe told the soldier to step back, and asked the two executing soldiers to step forward, Lu Shen watched them walk forward with the clip that pinched his fingers, and only felt that their smiles were very terrible.
"Stop, I said it, I only appeared in the suburban courtyard when I received a secret letter that day, no one instructed me at all, potatoes are the hope of the Wu Dynasty, I won't ruin the people's rations at all, how can you believe me?"
Yang Tinghe snorted coldly, and Shi Shiran sat on the chair beside him.
"Lord Lu is really joking, we have been dealing for so long, and we know each other well, do you think I will believe what you say?"
