Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

"However, I will prepare a document. It will list out how to divide the profit, how much to divide, and some rules that need to be followed. You two can read it and then decide whether to sign and seal it." Jiang Luo said slowly.

The two of them didn't even think about it, and the senior manager replied, "Miss, just prepare. We will definitely follow your lead in the future."

"Yes, we were brought here by the madam before. Now that you are willing to accept us, we will not object." Manager Chu also said honestly.

"Okay, the two managers are indeed worthy of being from the Wu family. Now that we have made it clear, you can go back to your residence and wait for my letter."

"Yes." The two replied respectfully.

The three of them discussed some small matters such as what to say and what to do when they went to the shop a few days later...

At this time, Lord Lu was sitting in a dark and damp dungeon.

The whole dungeon was filled with a disgusting smell. If you listen carefully, it is the smell of burning flesh mixed with the smell of blood, which makes people tremble with fear all the time.

Sun Wu was chained to the rack.

When they woke up, they found themselves in prison. They racked their brains but could not figure out when they had offended the Imperial Guards.

Xu Yuan didn't waste any words and whipped Sun Wu, who started wailing.

"Tell me, who asked you to harm that young lady yesterday?"

Only then did Sun Wu understand.

It turned out to be because of what happened yesterday. Aren’t they just too unlucky?

But he couldn't admit it. He couldn't afford to offend Princess Jiayang.

Sun Wu grimaced in pain and said, "My Lord, you are wronging me. I have never harmed anyone."

Two more lashes.

"Ah...Sir, I am really wronged." Sun Wu shouted stubbornly.

Lu Jinan seemed a little impatient.

Under the dim light, his sinister eyes revealed a chilling look, and his originally noble temperament instantly became perverse.

He stood up, picked up the sharp knife on the table, and slowly walked towards Sun Wu. He was like a ghost from hell, with a ferocious aura all over his body.

When Xu Yuan saw his appearance, he quickly took the whip and stepped aside.

The adults haven't been this angry for a long time.

Lu Jinan raised his knife and slashed, and Sun Wu's tendons were cut cleanly.

"Ah...ah..." This kind of pain is deeper and more penetrating than the pain of being whipped on the body.

The remaining four people were so scared that they peed their pants on the ground.

Xu Yuan covered his nose in disgust.

Sun Wu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he just kept taking deep breaths.

"Speak." A low and cold voice sounded, and several people shuddered again after hearing it.

One of them hurriedly crawled to Lu Jinan's feet, kowtowed and said, "Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life..."

He pointed at the person on the rack and said tremblingly, "It was Sun Wu. Sun Wu said that if we kidnap that young lady, we can... we can have a taste of being a lady from a noble family, and we can also have money to spend."

"Hmm~" With a muffled groan, he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Blood spurted out from his neck and spilled all over the ground.

He was killed with one blow.

Who made him say something he shouldn't have said?

Lu Jinan wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief, his half-closed peach blossom eyes filled with murderous intent.

Is this little girl something you guys can imagine?

You can't even say it out of your mouth.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Sun Wu said weakly.

It's really scary.

If he doesn't say it, his life will be in danger.

"It was Linglong. She lived with me in Shitou Lane. That day... that day she came to me and said... if I kidnapped that young lady and took her body, she would give me five hundred taels of silver. Maybe... maybe I could even become the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion... ah..."

A scream.

Sun Wu's tendons were also cut off by the knife in Lu Jinan's hand.

If he wasn't still useful, Sun Wu would probably be no different from the man lying on the ground.

Lu Jinan turned around and glanced at Chen Fei who was writing freely.

Fade Chen quickly put down his pen and handed over the written indictment.

He took a look at it, handed it to Chen Fei, and ordered, "Let them sign it. Keep an eye on them, otherwise I'll kill you." Then he strode out.

Xu Yuan winked at Fade Chen and quickly followed.

As soon as the two of them walked into the Beizhenfusi Yamen, they met Lord Du Heng, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.

Xu Yuan looked up at the sky in silence, thinking: My Lord is already in a bad mood, how come he meets him again!

"I am honored to meet you, Lord Lu." Du Heng bowed.

Xu Yuan also bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Lord Du."

Lu Jinan didn't say anything, he just bowed in return.

Du Heng glanced at the blood on his body and said with a smile: "Oh, Lord Lu, this blood is not easy to clean up."

Lu Jinan put one hand behind his back, glanced at him calmly, and said, "Just throw it away." Then he walked inside.

Du Heng stood there, staring grimly at the figure as it disappeared.

"Sir, I heard that a few scoundrels were put into jail." Liu Ming beside him whispered.

Hearing this, Du Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "Scoundrel?"

Liu Ming nodded.

When did Lu Jinan start to care about the affairs of hooligans?

"Have you found out what happened?" he asked again.

Liu Ming shook his head and replied, "No, those people are very tight-lipped."

Du Heng glanced at him and turned away.

Lu Jinan went to the room where he usually rested in the Northern Pacification Office to wash up, changed into a clean indigo suit, and then took Xu Yuan to the Cheng Mansion.

In the study of the Cheng Mansion, Lu Jinan and Imperial Censor Cheng Wen sat opposite each other.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Teacher, although I found the account book from Chen Yonggui regarding the illegal salt trafficking, there was no witness, so I hid this thing."

"You did the right thing. If you are not absolutely sure, the best thing to do is to lie low. The emperor is now increasingly relying on Lord Ling, which is both a bad thing and a good thing." Lord Cheng said, stroking his goatee.

Lu Jinan nodded and said, "My mother was attacked... I'm afraid the emperor still has doubts about me."

"If he wants to use you, he will of course be suspicious of you. Your father was so famous back then, and he's afraid that you'll become the second Prince Jing." Lord Cheng said, looking ahead with deep eyes.

So, Lu Jinan has been the Prince of Jing for so many years, and now he has come of age, but he has not yet become the Prince of Jing.

The title of Prince Jing is hereditary.

After Prince Jing dies, Lu Jinan will inherit his father's title.

However, the imperial edict to inherit the title has not come down until now.

"Master Ling has been going too smoothly recently. Even though we can't do anything to him now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to embarrass him a little." Lu Jinan stroked the teacup and said with gloomy eyes.

"Oh? What happened in the Marquis' Mansion?" Lord Cheng asked with a smile.

He was the censor, and his favorite thing was to find fault with the ministers.

"The Jinyiwei arrested a few scoundrels today. When we asked them, they said that it was the Princess of Jiayang County who sent her maid to hire someone to kill someone." Lu Jinan said calmly.
