The prince is very cruel

"I was wondering why someone would come to visit me. Who are you and what do you want to do?" Lu Guangyi's face was gloomy, and he didn't look as miserable as he did when he had a stroke in the past.

Guan Ning got straight to the point: "I came here to ask Lord Lu about something."

"Hmph, this is not the way you should inquire about things!" Lu Guangyi was dissatisfied.

Lou Xinyue was indifferent and had no good face towards Lu Guangyi: "As long as you answer truthfully, no one will know that you are pretending to be sick. But if you are willing to cooperate, don't blame me."

Lu Guangyi was furious, and of course he refused to be manipulated: "Someone come here!"

He roared, his voice much louder than before. Now that he was exposed, he no longer hid it.

In an instant, the servants outside heard the noise and rushed in. Those who could take care of him here were obviously trusted members of the same clan.

"Master!" They pushed the door open and walked in.

"Help me catch these two thieves and lock them up in the cellar!" Lu Guangyi growled. After all, he was once the one in power and had dignity.

"Yes!"

The servants rushed forward and actually had some skills!

Guan Ning was shocked. It was hidden so well!

Lou Xinyue's eyes were cold, her slender fingers gripped the sword in her sleeve, her dress swayed, murderous aura emanated from her, and she was about to start fighting!

But this was not a good way to start the conversation. Guan Ning quickly stepped in and said, "Lord Lu, don't you want to know what we want to ask?"

Lu Guangyi snorted coldly: "Not interested!"

Guan Ning was calm and had a strong sense of control: "I advise you to sit down and talk to us."

"If we wanted to harm you, we would have reported it to the authorities long ago, right?"

"You can't catch us. The only outcome is that you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot." He used both soft and hard tactics.

Lu Guangyi was silent.

He hesitated for a long time, his eyes flickering, and finally a look made all his men stand by: "What do you want to know?"

"I want to know what happened when Chang Shoufang was involved in the treason case." Guan Ning blurted out.

When Lu Guangyi heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Who are you? Why are you asking this?"

Looking at his reaction, Guan Ning knew that he must know something, otherwise he would not react like this.

"You don't need to care who I am. You just need to tell me everything you know about the incident." Guan Ning said.

Lu Guangyi's face was alert. "When the King of Wu rebelled and was suppressed, I was ordered to search the area and found a secret letter indicating that Chang Shoufang was colluding with him. Afterwards, Chang Shoufang was ordered to be arrested by His Majesty."

"That's the whole story. As for the rest, I don't know anything."

Lou Xinyue's phoenix eyes were slightly cold, and even a fool could see that he didn't want to say it. She was about to speak.

Guan Ning took the initiative and said, "Lord Lu, what are you afraid of? Is there anything more terrifying than the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"How about we make a deal?"

"Deal? What deal?" Lu Guangyi said in a deep voice.

Guan Ning said, "I think Mr. Lu Xiao is a good person, but it's a pity that the Lu family is a thing of the past, and their future is bleak."

"If you are willing to tell me what happened and help me redress Chang Shoufang, I will not only keep your secret but also provide Master Lu with an opportunity for promotion. How about that?"

Lu Guangyi was shocked!

"You want to help him redress his wrongdoing?"

Guan Ning nodded.

Lu Guangyi opened his eyes wide, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Then he fell into hesitation and struggle. Guan Ning's conditions made him start to be moved!

During the Wu Dynasty, the nobles and powerful families monopolized the officialdom. Ordinary people could not enter the palace unless they were extremely lucky. Even the imperial examination had been cancelled for many years.

After he, the former Shangshu Ling, was dismissed, he had to pretend to be crazy and stupid to protect himself, let alone find a way out for his son. This made Lu Xiao depressed for many years.

"Are you serious about what you said?"

His sudden change of attitude surprised Lou Xinyue.

"of course."

"I swear, as long as you tell me the truth and all useful information, I will send Lu Xiao into the officialdom within a month. But as for how far he can go, it all depends on his own ability and luck." Guan Ning's voice was sonorous and powerful, with a convincing personal charm.
