The villain heroine just wants to grab the country at the beginning

Chapter 54
Lu Jia continued: "You are going to dedicate me to the emperor. Tell me, isn't this the first time the emperor has despised me? Will the emperor be furious?"

Lu Shi didn't know that Xiao Yan was behind him, but Lu Jia knew it.

This dog put too much energy into the investigation of the murderer, so he needs to be given a proper distraction.

Lu Jiaqiao smiled sweetly, "I heard that Xiao Yan's mother was also sent to the palace? He is so pitiful, his mother was sent to the palace, and now he is like me, and I was sent to the palace again."

Xiao Yan, who was so disgusted by Lu Jia's nonsense that he rolled his eyes inwardly, stopped for a moment and looked forward in shock.

How could Lu Jia know this!
Lu was also shocked.

"Who told you?" Lu asked Lu Jia with a suppressed voice and fear.

Lu Jia curled his lips, "I heard it from my family, you guys are really interesting, Xiao Yan's mother gave birth to Xiao Yan, and sent him to the palace, isn't this an insult to the emperor, what the emperor wants, can it be someone else used?"

Lu Jia's words were vulgar and ugly,

But it was like an extremely thick needle that pierced Xiao Yan's temple sharply, causing his brain to ache.

His face turned pale instantly, Xiao Yan tightly clenched his fists, and silently followed Lu Jia and Lu's behind.

He thought that he had spent all his time finding out the clues back then, but he never expected that some fragments of the truth that he managed to obtain would be revealed so easily by Lu Jia.

Even more than he knew.

He just found out that his mother went to the palace once when she died, and died the same night she came out of the palace.

What was in his mind was the emperor's various considerations for him in the past two years, various promotions, and even disregarding everyone's opposition, he was only 23 years old and promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Mrs. Lu yelled at Lu Jia, "Don't talk nonsense, just follow me to see Concubine Yugui. If you dare to mention these words again, I will sell you immediately!"

Lu Jia shrugged, "Don't mention it if you don't mention it. I just want to remind you that maybe the emperor doesn't like me. Your wishful thinking is in vain. It's not the first time I've been discovered. The emperor may not get angry again." , I will implicate you at that time."

Ever since Mrs. Lu knew that Xiao Yan had torn Lu Jia's clothes, she had already guessed what happened to them.

Since she dared to bring Lu Jia to Concubine Yugui, she was absolutely sure.

As for the emperor minding, how could the emperor mind.

Lu Jia stopped talking, handed over the words that should be handed over, and stopped mentioning this, and followed Lu's straight to Concubine Yu's bedroom.

The courtiers were not allowed to enter the harem without summons, so Xiao Yan turned at the second fork in the corridor and went straight to the imperial study.

The explosion yesterday made the emperor so frightened that he had nightmares all night long. He was in a bad mood early in the morning. After the court, Xiao Yan went back to the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and received a summons from the palace. The emperor wanted to see him.

When he reached the door of the imperial study, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and waited for the little servant to open the door for him to enter.

The emperor sat sickly behind the table, the shock had not yet recovered, the whole person looked haggard and weak, Xiao Yan saluted and greeted him, the emperor leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him.

For a while, there was silence in the royal study.

Xiao Yan couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking when he looked at him like this.

Anyway, his mind is full of what Lu Jia just said.

The emperor stared at him for a quarter of an hour, then suddenly sighed, and said, "How is the investigation going?"

His voice was a little hoarse.

Xiao Yan collected his thoughts, clasped his fists, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have already found out where the black powder came from, and people have arrested it. It's just that this matter has been implicated in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the investigation has not been very smooth."

During the early court today, the Minister of the Household Department impeached Xiao Yan, saying that he abused his power, avenged his personal revenge, and arrested people at will.

Xiao Yan explained at the time that several officials from the household department were arrested because they were involved in the bombing case.

However, the case has not been clarified, Xiao Yan will not make it too clear in court.

The emperor's face was not very interested, and he took a sip from the teacup, "What's the problem with the household department?"

Xiao Yandao: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has been colluding with the ruffians outside for the past few years. The ruffians collect protection fees, and the Ministry of Finance provides protection to the ruffians and then takes a cut from it."

The emperor knew this.

Otherwise, how could the treasury have so much money.

Without blinking his eyelids, he waited for Xiao Yan to continue.

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then said: "In this bombing case, the black powder was obtained from a black workshop by a local hooligan leader, and he arranged for people to be buried on the road at night.

According to his confession, two women gave him a huge sum of money and blueprints, asking him to do as required.

These two women were preliminarily judged to be the perpetrators of the Qianzhou murder case.

However, as early as two or three days before the incident, this local ruffian leader was arrested once by the minister, and he was ordered to be beaten fifty times. The man was released on bail.

It's hard to say that there was no connection, so I arrested the official of the household department who released him on bail at that time, and the official confessed again, and another person asked him to do so. After the interrogation, the minister arrested the household official. There are three people in the department. "

"Are these three people related to the bombing?" The emperor only cares about the bombing, and he has no interest in taking a cut of the protection fee.

Xiao Yan said: "It's still under trial, and there is no concrete result yet."

After a pause, Xiao Yan twirled his fingers and said: "Just now when I entered the palace, I saw Xiao Yi's mother and her niece from her natal family also entered the palace, I guess I wanted to intercede for Xiao Yi.

It's not that the minister is iron-hearted and disregards the brotherhood, it's that Xiao Yi's incident this time is too involved.

The murderer's way of doing evil is too arrogant, almost tantamount to directly provoking the court. If His Majesty forgives Xiao Yi, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. "

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then what do you think I should do?"

Xiao Yan said: "The reason why Xiao Yi's mother brought her unmarried niece into the palace, she should have a very clear mind, either she wants to give this niece to a certain prince to help him intercede, or she wants to send this niece to the palace. A niece gave it to His Majesty, begging His Majesty for forgiveness.

I dare not tell His Majesty what to do, but I just want to speak honestly, no matter if it is the prince or Your Majesty, this woman cannot be kept. "

The emperor waved his hand, "Over there, don't worry, go and investigate, I will give you the greatest right, and I must arrest this criminal as soon as possible!"

With such a person who dared to blow up the imperial court team getting away with it, the emperor couldn't sleep at night.

As for the Lu family bringing people into the palace, the emperor did not express his opinion.

For this sake, Xiao Yan couldn't say any more, and could only leave.

Concubine Yugui's bedroom.

Lu Shi brought Lu Jiacai to the door of the bedroom, but before meeting Concubine Yu, she was blocked by Concubine Ning.

"Come here, bring this murderer to Ben Gong!"
