The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne
Chapter 3 Report to the police and arrest someone
"Who reported the case?"
"Me!" Lu Jingning stood up.
Lady Suguogong frowned and looked at Lu Jingning unhappily. Even Zhao Sui's eyelids twitched. He had a bad premonition. He hurried forward and reached out to pull Lu Jingning's arm, but Lu Jingning avoided him.
"Aning, stop messing around! Who is Bu Yan? He is making trouble for no reason. If we get involved with him, we will be in big trouble." Zhao Sui said in a low voice.
Lu Jingning said, "How could Prince Suguo believe the rumors? Lord Bu is obviously wise and brave, upright and impartial, and is a good official in the eyes of the people. He is also the most trusted Jingzhao Yin of the emperor. How could he make trouble for no reason?"
"Aning..."
"I believe in Lord Bu." Lu Jingning's voice was loud, and Bu Yan smiled when he heard it.
Bu Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhao Sui with a gloomy look.
Speaking of which, he and the prince of the Duke's Mansion have some old grudges, and today they can be settled.
Zhao Sui's breathing stagnated, and he looked at Lu Jingning in surprise: "Aning, when did you get bewitched by Bu Yan? He's a stranger!"
"He is the Jingzhao Yin, and he must judge every case. He is not an outsider." After Lu Jingning finished speaking, under Zhao Sui's gloomy eyes, he walked towards Bu Yan and bowed: "Sir, I reported the case."
Bu Yan raised his eyebrows and spoke in a gentler tone: "Princess, what is the matter with the report?"
"Today I met a suspicious person at the foot of the Jokhang Temple. I suspect he is a spy. Please investigate this matter thoroughly."
When Zhao Sui said the word "spy", he took a breath of cold air.
Even the others changed their expressions.
"Sister Ning, what nonsense are you talking about? How could there be spies in the Jokhang Temple? This is a royal temple." Lu Jinglang was completely panicked. She wanted to sew Lu Jingning's mouth shut with a needle so that she would not dare to say anything.
Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows and asked back, "You don't even know who I'm talking about, so why are you so sure there's no spy?"
Lu Jinglang's eyelids twitched when she was asked, and her face turned red. She couldn't utter a word for a long time. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Ning, I just don't want people to disturb the order in the temple. After all, there are still many ladies and girls here. You should know your limits when you act so willfully!"
"Yeah, Aning, stop messing around." Zhao Sui advised. He didn't know why Lu Jingning was acting so abnormal today.
The development was totally different from what we had expected.
"My princess, this is too careless. This is not the Eastern Palace. You can search it at will."
"He is so spoiled that he has no sense of propriety!"
Several ladies looked displeased.
Bu Yan raised his chin and asked in a deep voice, "When it comes to spies, it's better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go. Please continue, my lady."
"If something goes wrong..."
"Something has happened and I have disturbed people. I will personally go to the emperor to apologize!" Bu Yan interrupted Zhao Sui and frowned: "Prince Zhao has repeatedly obstructed us. Could it be that he knows this person?"
Being blamed by Bu Yan, Zhao Sui said angrily: "Master Bu, please be careful with your words!"
"It was the young man who was rescued by the second young lady of Prince Shen's Mansion on the roadside today. I clearly saw a strange pattern on his waist. Lord Bu, please seal off the scene as soon as possible, arrest this man, and bring him back for strict interrogation."
As soon as the words came out, Zhao Sui's face changed drastically.
Lu Jinglang's body was staggering.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Lu Jingning felt so happy in her heart. She wanted to see how tough Mo Yunyao was and whether he could withstand the interrogation of Jingzhao Yin, who was known as the Hundred-Faced King of Hell!
"Lu Jingning!" Zhao Sui panicked: "Don't wrongly accuse a good man. I don't think he's a spy in his dress and behavior. There must be a misunderstanding."
Lu Jingning frowned.
"So, Prince Zhao is going to vouch for this person?" Bu Yan smiled a little more. He raised his hand and the guard behind him handed him a pen and ink: "Words are not enough. Prince Zhao, do you dare to write it down?"
"You!" Zhao Sui's pupils shrank. He knew the man's identity very well, so how could he dare to leave any written evidence? He had made all the arrangements foolproof, but he didn't expect that Lu Jingning, this idiot, would report to the police!
It ruined all his plans.
Bu Yan handed the pen and paper to everyone and said, "Do you dare to guarantee it?"
No one dared to answer.
He is just a stranger. Who would guarantee for him? If anything is really found out, all nine clans would be enough to kill him.
Bu Yan came in front of Lu Jingning, with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Princess, for providing the clues. If I really find out anything, I will definitely tell the emperor that you have contributed a lot!"
No matter in this life or the previous one, she only feared Bu Yan.
She had seen him fighting among a group of people with a machete in his hand, chopping off multiple heads without blinking an eye.
In the capital, Bu Yan was fearless and like a knife in the emperor's hand, he could hit whatever he pointed at. He was in charge of 20,000 soldiers in the capital's Jingdaying camp.
He is also the one that many people want to win over.
Unfortunately, Bu Yan refused to listen.
Someone once attempted to assassinate Bu Yan. The next day, a large amount of evidence was found against this family, and eventually the entire family was executed.
Some people were talking about it in private, saying that it would be better to offend a villain than to offend Bu Yan.
They want to accuse people of crimes, leaving them with no way to seek redress!
“I…” Lu Jingning took a half step back and shook his head, “The credit doesn’t matter, I just ask you to arrest the person as soon as possible to prevent him from escaping.”
Bu Yan smiled faintly: "So far, no one has been able to escape from under my nose."
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards grabbed Mo Yunyao.
At this time, Mo Yunyao's mouth was blocked, and his shoulders were pierced by curved hooks and iron chains. He was bleeding profusely. He looked in pain, and his eyes wandered between Zhao Sui and Lu Jinglang, and finally fell on Lu Jingning, his eyes full of resentment.
"Buddhism is so quiet that one cannot see blood. Lord Bu has not yet found out the truth of the matter, but he has already tortured people privately. Isn't that too much?" Zhao Sui said.
Bu Yan retracted his gaze, glanced at Zhao Sui, and sneered, his eyes full of disdain, which made Zhao Sui's face turn pale, but he did not dare to snatch the person away in public.
"Whether I am guilty or not is not your turn to judge me, Prince Zhao." Bu Yan waved his hand: "Take me away!"
Watching Mo Yunyao being taken away, Zhao Sui's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at Lu Jingning angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you found something wrong, Aning, between you and Lord Bu..."
"Snapped!"
Lu Jingning slapped Zhao Sui hard on the face with his backhand.
Lady Suguogong screamed, and hurriedly protected her son, staring at Lu Jingning unhappily: "Aning, are you so angry that you hit someone out of frustration?"
"This princess found something wrong and sent someone to report it to the authorities. What was wrong with that? Prince Zhao has a dirty mind and has slandered this princess's reputation. Shouldn't this princess teach him a lesson?"
All the anger that Lu Jingning had accumulated in his two lifetimes burst out at this moment, shocking everyone so much that they were speechless. Even the wife of Duke Su was frightened by this anger.
"Sister Ning!"
Lu Jinglang came to his senses and stepped forward to grab Jingning's arm, whispering, "Why did you hit the prince, and in front of the Duke's wife? Apologize to the prince quickly, otherwise he will be angry."
Zhao Sui, who was standing by, was slapped in the face. He was furious and glared at Lu Jingning with cold eyes.
This bitch made me lose face today. Unless she kneels down and begs for mercy, I will never forgive her.
"Princess Rouning will definitely apologize. After all, she will not marry anyone other than the prince of Duke Su."
"It's hard for the Prince of Suguo. This princess has such a domineering temper."
Several ladies discussed in low voices.
Lady Suguogong looked at the slap marks on Zhao Sui's face and felt very distressed. She said unhappily, "Aning, unless you kneel down, the Suguogong Mansion will not recognize you as the future daughter-in-law."
She believed that if she said this, Lu Jingning would be scared and beg for mercy.
Waited for a long time.
"Tsk tsk!"
Lu Jingning shook off Lu Jinglang's arm, raised his chin, and looked directly at the wife of Duke Suguo: "This princess is a second-rank official who has been granted an imperial decree. Madam, you want this princess to kneel down and apologize. Do you intend to defy the imperial power and commit crimes, or does the Duke Suguo Mansion want to be above the royal family?"
Perhaps it was because her eyes were too sharp, Lady Suguogong's scalp was numb, and she said unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, when have I ever disrespected the royal family?"
"Aning! You still don't repent?" Zhao Sui looked at her with disappointment, heartbroken: "It would be fine if you were fooling around on weekdays, but today in front of so many people, you led Bu Yan to investigate the case and disturbed so many women. Now is not too late, send someone to stop Bu Yan and tell him to withdraw the report, this is all a misunderstanding."
Lu Jingning sneered continuously.
"If it's a misunderstanding, I will come to your door in person to apologize!" Lu Jingning's eyes were solemn and his face was determined.
Zhao Sui frowned. He didn't expect that even after talking to this point, Lu Jingning still didn't give in, let alone apologize.
After just a few days of not seeing her, she seemed like a different person.
In the past, as long as he frowned, Lu Jingning would obey him.
Even if it was a very difficult matter, in order to make him happy, she would ask the prince and other people to make it happen.
But today, I refuted him again and again.
"Sister Ning, please stop being stubborn. You will be the one hiding in the house crying." Lu Jinglang gently tugged at her sleeve, motioning her to apologize.
Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows and questioned, "I still treat you as my closest sister, but you don't believe me and always speak for outsiders. I am so disappointed!"
Lu Jinglang's eyelids jumped: "Sister Ning?"
"Whether I am being unreasonable or not, you will know once Lord Bu finds out." Lu Jingning glanced at Lu Jinglang and said, "It seems that it is not appropriate to go out to worship Buddha today. I will go back first. Sister Lang, take care of yourself!"
