Contract Prince

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was very bright, and the distant east had just risen a touch of fish-belly, and the son-in-law had already woken up.It was too late last night to toss with Xiao Muxue, Gu Yunjing felt sore all over.She spread her arms slightly, trying to relieve the soreness, Xiao Muxue, who was curled up in her arms, sensed the movement, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Xue'er, you were woken up by me? It's still early, go to bed later, you must have been tired last night." Looking at Xiao Muxue's tired expression, Gu Yunjing felt a little guilty.

Xiao Muxue's fair face was covered with a layer of ruddy color, just like the appearance of a peach blossom when it first bloomed.She pushed back the hair scattered on her forehead, and said softly: "Since you know you are tired, why did you keep asking for it last night?"

Gu Yunjing scratched the center of his brows slowly, his face was reddish, his voice was extremely soft, and he smiled shyly: "It's probably because I couldn't help it, who made Xue'er so charming."

"I finally understand now that the spring night is bitter and the day is high. From now on, the king will not go to court early. After this busy period, I will be able to accompany you every day." Gu Yunjing said, "After today, Lu Zhong It’s time to come to an end.”

Xiao Muxue's expression was not as optimistic as Gu Yunjing's. She said: "After Lu Zhong died, there are many people like Lu Zhong behind him, even more sinister than him. For example, Xiao Cong, such as Concubine Qu. Seriously If you want to feel at ease every day, I'm afraid you have to wait until the day when Haiqing and Heyan are real."

"Where there is a will, there is a way." Gu Yunjing smiled slightly, "Xue'er, you sleep a little longer. I have to get up and get busy. Today is the day when Lu Zhong is on trial."

Xiao Muxue gently removed Gu Yunjing's shirt, "I'm not too sleepy, let's go to Dali Temple with you. Lu Zhong has committed many evils, I want to witness his end with my own eyes."

Gu Yunjing nodded: "Okay, then let's go together." The two of them put on their clothes immediately, washed up, and finished their breakfast

, Embarked on the road to Dali Temple.

The case of Lu Zhong is extraordinary, and the influence he caused was extremely bad. The people kept pointing at him for offending Princess Zhao. Many people even took this matter as a bet on whether Lu Zhong was innocent or was wronged. of.

Therefore, Lu Zhong was put forward for trial today, which attracted a large number of spectators.The gate of the Yamen in Dali Temple was crowded with men, women and children, all of them were ready to watch this good show.It was not only the yamen gate that was lively, the hall of Dali Temple was also full of people. These people were not ordinary people, they were either rich or noble, and they were all high-ranking and powerful people.Among them, Lu Lin, Duke of Ning, Xiao Cong, King of Zhao, and Tao Shen, Marquis of Wu'an were the representatives.

When the princess son-in-law came to the Yamen of Dali Temple, all the spectators in the hall had already taken their seats.Gu Yunjing glanced at the powerful lineup, and sneered in his heart, the hall is really full.She and Xiao Muxue chose the most inconspicuous seats to sit.

Under the orders of Dali Temple Minister, Lu Zhong was quickly taken to the main hall.There was no downcast look on the face of this swinger brother, and his complexion was the same as before he was imprisoned. It could be seen that this swinger brother lived a very nourishing life in prison.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.A person's personality is often accompanied by him for a lifetime. Take Lu Zhong as an example, even if he is in death row, even if he is facing the interrogation of the stern and selfless Dali Siqing today, he does not feel the slightest pressure at all, and he still looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. Looks hot.

Lu Zhong wanted to be arrogant at first, but the identities of everyone here today are much more noble than him.Therefore, he restrained his arrogance a little bit wisely.

Because of Lu Lin's special intercession, Xiao Guan agreed that Lu Zhong could not wear shackles.Without the shackles on his body, Lu Zhong moved much more freely. He put his hands together in front of his chest, raised his head, and shook his legs intentionally or unintentionally.Where else does it look like a prisoner awaiting trial?

Dali Temple Minister was very annoyed when he saw this, he slapped the gavel hard, and said sharply: According to the laws of the Xiao Kingdom, all prisoners are required to kneel when they are being tried.Why doesn't the prisoner Lu Zhong kneel down! ! ! "

Who is Lu Zhong?He is the only son of Ning Guogong, a tyrant in the capital, he is the only one who bullies others, and most people would nod and bow when they see him.Dali Temple Minister's status is not as good as that of Lu Zhong, and this Mr. Lu was very impatient with his stern roar.

Lu Zhonggang wanted to scold Dali Temple Minister who didn't know good and bad, but before he could speak, his father Lu Lin's voice sounded next to him: "Dali Temple Minister is right, now you are a person who treats crimes, so naturally you have to abide by the law. Won't you kneel down?"

Lu Zhong rolled his eyes towards the ceiling a few times, and after a careless ooh, he knelt down on the ground with great reluctance.In my heart, I do not miss the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Dali Siqing.

"Prisoner Lu Zhong, today is the day of your trial. You must answer the officer's questions truthfully!"

One prisoner at a time, Lu Zhongzhi wanted to dig up the graves of his ancestors for eighteen generations.Lu Lin's eyes never stopped, and they kept drifting towards Lu Zhong's direction.Lv Zhong said weakly, with a long nasal voice: "Yes, I listen to you, just ask."

The Minister of Dali Temple said in a deep voice: "Lu Zhong, during Princess Zhao's birthday banquet, you openly offended Princess Zhao in public. I am asking you, did you do this on purpose?"

"Of course not." Lu Zhong hurriedly argued, "I was drugged at the time, and I didn't know what was going on with me."

Dali Temple Minister asked: "Do you know what kind of medicine it is? What are its medicinal properties?"

Lu Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't know." After saying this, he didn't speak anymore, because he knew very well that too many words make mistakes.At this critical moment, everyone is staring at him, and if he makes a wrong sentence, maybe someone who is interested will be able to hear the flaw.He did the thing, and his heart is empty at the moment, so he would rather not open his mouth than say more.

Of course Lu Zhong is not so smart, all this is due to his father's instructions.Lu Lin sent an envelope to Lu Zhong a few days ago, and the things explained in the letter were nothing more than to make Lu Zhong talk less, and others must not let others tell any secrets.

The Minister of Dali Temple said again: "I have checked, and the drinks in Prince Zhao's mansion are safe."

Lu Zhongtian smiled shamelessly: "But I only got sick after drinking the wine there."

"Nonsense!" Before Dali Temple Secretary could continue the interrogation, Xiao Cong stood up abruptly and said bitterly, "The banquet was held in Prince Zhao's Mansion, you mean that the people in this Prince's Mansion have tampered with you?"

Lu Lin had the most right to speak about Xiao Cong's questioning, because he knew that his son was indeed framed, as long as he told the truth about the matter between that stunning beauty and Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong's grievances would be cleared away.

However, Concubine Qu clearly explained to Lu Lin that he must calm things down and never tell anything about the stunning woman.Concubine Qu was afraid that the imperial court would find out about Chun's heartbeat, so she further broke ground on the Wanchun Tower, which was too old.

Lu Lin also knew that it was not time to deal with Concubine Qu, and his son hadn't been released from prison yet, so after rescuing Lu Zhong first, he would consider dealing with this witch!Lu Lin saluted Xiao Cong: "Lu Zhong can't speak. His Highness King Zhao, don't misunderstand what he means."

Lu Lin pretended to be impartial and selfless, and said with deep eyebrows: "Before trying the case, please allow me to say something first. What I say is directly related to this case!"

Dali Siqing is the person in charge of the case. Originally, he was unwilling to let Lu Lin intervene in the case. After all, he and Lu Zhong are father and son, and blood is thicker than water.Lu Lin was inevitably suspected of favoritism.

But Dali Siqing had no choice, because he really didn't find anything useful.It was only because of His Majesty's oral order that he brought Lu Zhong up for interrogation today.So now, when he heard Lu Lin say that he had found a clue, his heart was shaken.

Dali Siqing was also tortured by Lu Zhong's case. He wished to solve the case as soon as possible so that he could be clean.After thinking about it again and again, Dali Temple Minister said: "Since what Ning Guogong said is helpful to the case, let's say it."

Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue sat quietly beside her. From now until now, she has not expressed her position the whole time, just like a quiet and handsome man.If there was any expression change on her face, it was a warm smile directly replaced by a playful one.

Gu Yunjing rubbed her fingers, smiled without saying a word, she was quietly watching what Lu Lin would do.

Lu Lin said slowly: "After Lu Zhong's accident, the old man has not been idle for a moment. He has been investigating the case. Although Lu Zhong has a somewhat proud temperament, he is a person who understands reason and proportion. The old man believes that he will never do anything wrong. There must be another reason for offending Princess Zhao."

"The old man is busy, and his hard work pays off, and I finally found something." Lu Lin showed an unbelievable smile on his face. What this servant did. This servant doesn’t usually do his job well, but after being said a few words by Lu Zhong, he felt resentful and thought about how to take revenge on his master.”

Gu Yunjing smiled and said: "In this way, the servants in the Duke's mansion are really resentful."
