Contract Prince

Chapter 107

Lu Lin's face was twitching, his sharp eyes were like an iron hook, hooking directly on Tao Shen's body, his voice was so cold that it made people feel chills all over his body, "We must pay attention to evidence in everything, what Wu Anhou said just now is true. Evidence? If there is no evidence, the Grand Duke of this country can convict you of slander! The crime of slandering an important official of the court is not light, right?"

Tao Shen wanted to see Lu Zhong die, and it would be very, very unfair to Tao Ce if the evildoers escaped punishment.Gu Yunjing knew what Tao Shen was thinking, but Marquis Wu An was too eager to say what he just said without evidence, it was indeed a slander.

Gu Yunjing got up, walked to Tao Shen's side, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle Tao, don't worry, I know what you are thinking. But Ning Guogong was right just now, you should pay attention to your words, in case Don't just accuse yourself of crimes because of this. Lu Lin's status before His Majesty is much more honorable than yours."

The son-in-law said to Lu Lin again: "Mr. Ning, I hope you will forgive me for the conflict in Wu Anhou's words just now."

"My son-in-law knows how to be courteous." Lu Lin snorted angrily, "Of course my father-in-law doesn't have the same knowledge as some people."

"That's good." Gu Yunjing still had a smile all over her face, she frowned and said, "But this doesn't mean Mr. Lu is innocent?"

Gu Yunjing's soft words sounded like a thunderbolt to Lu Lin's ears. Duke Ning's body shook involuntarily. After he stabilized his mind, he asked, "I don't quite understand what the son-in-law means."

"Then next, let me explain it to Ning Guogong and everyone else, to ensure that this process is absolutely exciting and absolutely surprising." Gu Yunjing said.

Since Ning Guogong has found a substitute for his son, Gu Yunjing doesn't want to expose Lu Lin's argument, because it involves Miss Suqiu, so avoid it if you can.

At this moment, the son-in-law does not expect to take care of Lu Zhong with spring, heart, and excitement. Lu Zhong did not only do this one evil thing, but any other one is enough to kill him. Someone assassinated Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Gu Yunjing walked up to Lu Zhong slowly, and smiled at him. For some reason, Lu Zhong always felt that the other party's smile was too serious, which made his heart tremble and shudder, so Lu Zhong hurriedly lowered his head.

"I don't know if Mr. Lu still remembers the assassination of His Highness the Princess a few months ago." Gu Yunjing stood beside Lu Zhong and said with a faint smile.

Lu Zhong's legs softened suddenly, fortunately he was kneeling, otherwise he would have collapsed on the ground.At this time, he felt that Gu Yunjing's smile was not only described by the word "sensible", but also directly called "moji", it was here to remind her to die.

Cold sweat gushed out from all parts of his body, Lu Zhong's hands trembled unknowingly, his heart was beating up and down, and his eyes were full of fear.Yes, he will be very scared, the feeling of fear is no less than that of going to the execution ground.

Gu Yunjing would ask this question, obviously she already knew that it was tricky.Assassinating Her Highness the Princess is a capital crime. No matter how much my father pleads with the emperor, the emperor will never let him go.The emperor can ignore Tao Ce and Princess Zhao, but he will not ignore Xiao Muxue, after all, this daughter is the one he loves the most.

The sky is falling, Lu Zhong's sky is falling.His brows were wrinkled together, speechless.Lu Zhong didn't understand, how did Gu Yunjing know that the assassination of the princess was arranged seamlessly by him.

Lu Zhong tried his best to restrain the trembling of his body, his eyes were flickering, probably because he was afraid of being seen strangely by others, he, who had always been aloof, lowered his head for the first time.Because of his guilty conscience, his voice was also very low: "It's well known, I, of course I remember."

"Just remember." Gu Yunjing rested his chin with his hand, "Then let's talk about this case, I want to hear Mr. Lu's opinion."

"I...what can I think?" Lu Zhong's words were obviously hesitant.

Lu Lin stared at Gu Yunjing intently, he wanted to know what kind of medicine was being sold in the concubine's gourd?What is the purpose of Hao Duan Duan bringing up that case?Lu Lin looked at the confident and thin young man, and then at his flustered son.

Knowing the son is not like the father, he vaguely guessed that something is wrong, could it be that Lu Zhong has something to do with this matter?Lu Lin's eyes seemed to lose their light, his heart sank suddenly, and he fell from the high clouds into the endless abyss.

"Oh," Gu Yunjing frowned, and smiled playfully, "Mr. Lu should have a lot of opinions, so why don't you have any opinions?"

Immediately, the son-in-law's face turned cold, and he said word by word: "After all, you planned the assassination of the princess."

Lu Zhong's heart was extremely cold, and his blood was also congealed. Even if a burning stove was placed in front of him, he might not feel any warmth.Because of fear and guilty conscience, Lu Zhong was too frightened to speak.

Lu Lin's eyes drooped and he shook his head in despair.He never expected that Lu Zhong would be so frantic that he would send someone to assassinate Her Highness the Princess.Lu Lin had asked him if he had something to do with the assassin case, but Lu Zhong swore that it was not.

At that time, Lu Lin was busy exchanging knowledge with great Confucians, so he didn't pay much attention to his son's every move.Who would have thought that Lu Zhong would tell lies?Even if Lu Zhong did this, but if he had told Lu Lin honestly, Ningguo Guild would find a way to keep his son.

However, this time there was really no move. All this happened so suddenly that Lu Lin had no time to think of countermeasures.

Gu Yunjing looked at the ashes-faced Lu family father and son, and smiled faintly, feeling really relieved.She said: "Master Lu doesn't explain, that seems to be tacitly acquiescing to my statement."

"I..." Lu Zhong hesitated to speak, "I..."

He is not stupid, Gu Yunjing dared to pat his chest and speak with confidence, it must be because of some evidence.No matter how much evidence is presented, it is useless to say more justifications.

Lu Zhong cast a look of pleading help to Lu Lin, and Ning Guogong stared at him fiercely, his eyes were extremely fierce, as if he wanted to swallow his son alive.Yes, if he could choose, Lu Lin really didn't want to give birth to such a wicked son.It's fine to ruin his reputation, but now he has to implicate his whole family in dying with him!

"Evil, evil!" Lu Lin kept scolding Lu Zhong in his heart.

Ning Guogong said: "How does the son-in-law conclude that Lu Zhong is the murderer who assassinated the princess?"

Lu Lin's tone was very low and calm, he was not angry with Gu Yunjing.If the assassination of the princess was instigated by Lu Zhong, Lu Lin felt that it was normal for the son-in-law to seek justice for the princess.

Gu Yunjing slowly took out a thick account book from his arms, raised it in his hand, and showed it to everyone.

"This is an account book, but it is not an ordinary account book." Gu Yunjing's voice gradually became colder, and he bit the root lightly, "This is an account book that records murder transactions."

She held the account book in her left hand, and pointed to Lu Zhong with her right hand, "This Mr. Lu is the mysterious guest recorded on it."

Lu Zhong stared blankly at the account book in Gu Yunjing's hand. This most effective evidence seemed to be his death talisman.

Lu Lin asked: "How did the son-in-law get this account book?"

"To be honest, I didn't find this account book." Gu Yunjing said, "It was found by Jiang Shitang, the commander of the Yulin Army."

The account book was found by Han Jun, but his identity is a bit complicated.If someone asks about him, it will inevitably involve all kinds of pasts with Xiao Muxue.This is not a good thing for Her Royal Highness, and it also damages the majesty of the royal family.Therefore, after discussing with Han Jun yesterday, Gu Yunjing gave this credit directly to Jiang Shitang.

The Minister of Dali Temple asked someone to tell Jiang Shitang to come, not long after, Jiang Shitang came in a hurry, and all the noble people in the hall stood aside respectfully after performing the etiquette.

Gu Yunjing said to Jiang Shitang: "Master Jiang, you might as well report the process of investigating the case to everyone truthfully."

After Jiang Shitang responded, he began to speak.He copied the conversation between Gu Yunjing and Han Jun yesterday at the Hou Mansion.The dialogue between the two of them was a very good testimony, well-founded and rigorous, just a little tidying up the word order.

Jiang Shitang spoke lightly and naturally, everyone was dumbfounded and terrified.It is an unforgivable crime that Lu Zhong dared to assassinate the relatives of the emperor.

Jiang Shitang took out a wrinkled paper ball and spread it out. He held the four corners of the paper ball and repeatedly showed them in front of everyone: "This is the lost No. 30 page [-], which has Lu Zhong’s handwriting. Everyone can take a look.”

The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, pressing down on the father and son of the Lu family, making them breathless.

Suffocation, helplessness, despair, death.This is the true portrayal of the Lu family father and son at this moment.

Gu Yunjing smiled and asked Lu Lin: "My lord, what do you say?"

Lu Lin sighed heavily: "Since Lu Zhong did it, I have nothing to say."

Gu Yunjing asked Lu Zhong again, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Lu, do you have anything else to say? According to your charges, you will probably be executed soon. If you don't say it now, you may have no chance in the future." .”

Lu Lin kowtowed heavily, with snot and tears, and begged bitterly: "I didn't do it on purpose, I was just obsessed with ghosts, and I don't want to hurt anyone. Please forgive me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die." Die. Please..."

Gu Yunjing frowned, and said: "There are gods standing three feet above your head, and if you do many injustices, you will die yourself. If you knew today, why did you do it at the beginning?"

Like a dog, Lu Zhong moved his knees, moved in front of Lu Lin, and cried, "Father, please help me, I really don't want to die. I was wrong, I was wrong, I will definitely correct my mistakes in the future, listen carefully The words of you and mother. Father, please go and beg Your Majesty to let me be merciful."

"Father, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die." Lu Zhong said incomparably, tears streaming down his nose to the corner of his mouth, "I'm still young, and I still have a lot to do."
