Knowing that the Holy Lady was going to visit the Lu family in person, everyone in the family was discharged from the hospital to greet her.

Jiang Rui also walked out of the quiet room where he practiced, and led a large family to wait at the main entrance of the mansion.

Seeing the gorgeous car approaching from a distance, Jiang Rui suddenly turned her eyes to Lu Wenqian, who had a face as cold as frost, smiled meaningfully, and reminded in a low voice:
"Qian'er, after all, I am the godmother of Yan Dynasty and the wet nurse of the emperor. You must be respectful and gentle when you see her later."

Lu Wenqian responded with a warm smile: "Did mother say this for me or for the entire Lu family?"

After all, offending Mrs. Hua will bring bad consequences to the entire Lu family.

Jiang Rui coughed dryly, not knowing how to answer his words.

After thinking about it, I could only talk about him in terms of left and right:
"You should always do things with a sense of propriety. In the past few days, you have caused panic in the whole Tanzhou City because of the Lu Shen family. When this matter was reported to the emperor, even if there was a big guardian, you would not be able to avoid reprimanding him. .”

Although he didn't go out all day, Jiang Rui knew everything that happened in the entire house.

Right now, Han Yiwei was searching the entire mansion to find the whereabouts of his grandson and some evil Taoist priest. The Holy Lady suddenly came here just for this reason.

"Have mercy and forgiveness."

Jiang Rui simply spoke more clearly: "Your family, Mr. Lu Shen, is always chattering away, and it's even more unreasonable to bring a cousin in. How can you trust what they say? They said it was Yan Chao who came to celebrate." If you want to harm Eunuch Liu, you all just believe it."

"That's what mother taught me."

Lu Wenqian did not argue with her. After all, the matter would have to wait for Lu Shen's return to come to an end.

The two of them turned their attention to the approaching driver. They saw Mrs. Hua and Lu Yanchao getting out of the carriage and were about to come over. A group of soldiers suddenly appeared from nowhere and stopped them directly.

"Bold, how can such a short-sighted thing dare to block the way of the Holy Empress?"

The boy scolded angrily, and the guards drew their swords at each other.

Lu Wenqian watched from a distance and frowned when he recognized that the leading official was Xie Junyi, the county magistrate.

"I have seen the Holy Empress."

After Xie Junyi respectfully cupped his fists at Mrs. Hua and saluted, he pointed his finger at Lu Yanchao.

"I have no disrespect to the empress, but I have recently been ordered to thoroughly investigate the backlog of ten murder cases in Tanzhou Prefecture, and the investigation has led to Yan Songtou, the master of Baiyun Temple in Shucheng. Dozens of unscrupulous Taoist priests in that temple are all He has been arrested and brought to justice.”

Xie Junyi reported truthfully: "According to their account, Yansong raised evil creatures and harmed people's lives wantonly, and then disappeared. Before Yansong disappeared, Ji Ping and Steward Lu who were with the Lu family had visited Baiyun Temple and donated money. Ten thousand taels of sesame oil money, and someone who saw the Lu family leader having a private meeting with Yan Song in the city and helped him hide it, please ask the Lu family leader to hand over this person immediately."

"A bunch of nonsense."

Lu Yanchao denied it calmly: "Xie Zhixian, I advise you to think carefully before speaking, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Mrs. Hua also kept sneering: "Xie Zhixian, you have been so diligent just after taking office. If the emperor knew about it, he would be pleased. However, he must be held responsible for fabricating facts out of thin air and slandering the imperial officials. The head of the Lu family has been with me recently. How? Are you going to meet some Taoist priest?"

After a pause, she continued: "As for the Baiyun Temple you are talking about, I think it was just that his mother had just passed away, and the Hua family had suffered a disaster, so he sent someone to the temple to donate some money to pray for the deceased. Today, I am in the Lu Mansion to visit my old friend. I am in a good mood, so I won’t be acquainted with you, so please leave quickly."

"Empress, how can you help the evildoer when human life is at stake?"

Xie Junyi was very angry.

Unexpectedly, the wet nurse whom the emperor respected the most turned out to be such an ignorant person, and even helped the criminals to deceive everyone.

Lu Yanchao has never left Yanyang City recently, how could he be with her?
The witnesses they found were then called one by one, but what was shocking was that when they saw Lu Yanchao and the Holy Lady, those people changed their stories and even denied the fact that Yan Song appeared in Yanyang City.

"You...you..."

Xie Junyi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Xie Zhixian, have you had enough trouble?"

Lu Wenqian pushed the wheelchair forward unhurriedly and shouted loudly: "Being so flamboyant and unrestrained in front of my Lu family, do you really think that the court and the emperor's face are not in your eyes?" I'm afraid this guy is stupid because of his study. Yes, he is always so reckless in doing things.

"Ji Zhen, blast them away."

Lu Wenqian took the lead and immediately ordered Ji Zhen to drive the people away before Mrs. Hua made any move.

"Lu Wenqian, you are so brave. After all, I am also an official of the imperial court. How can I be so presumptuous as you?"

Xie Junyi was already extremely disappointed with him and scolded him dissatisfied:

"You have put Zhiyi in danger again and again, and this time she almost lost her life. The facts could not be clearer now. It is clearly Lu Yanchao who colluded with Yan Song to do evil, and you still want to protect him. In your heart But if you know anything about her, why would you torture her like this and ruin her reputation in every way if you don't mean anything to her?"

"Xie Junyi, I'm afraid it's not your turn to take care of my family affairs."

Lu Wenqian was too lazy to argue with this tough guy anymore, and waved his hand disdainfully: "Blow him away quickly."

"slow."

Lu Yanchao already knew that it was his second aunt who ruined his good deeds.

It seems that I really underestimated her ability before.

This woman was able to cause a descendant of the dignified Lan Hua lineage to die violently in the altar. I don't know what method she used.

For a moment, he became a little more interested in the woman.

Xie Junyi was my childhood sweetheart and grew up with my second aunt. How could I let him leave at this time?
At least I have to ask my second aunt to come over and watch a good show.

"Second uncle, it's okay for my nephew to suffer some humiliation, but you are my elder after all. How can I watch you being pointed at your spine and scolded."

Lu Yan blinked pitifully towards Guangguang, and slowly looked at Xie Junyi: "Master Magistrate, since you are so sure that I colluded with Yan Song to harm Liu Quan and everyone else, you should find him at least."

Xie Junyi came here for this reason. He had already received reliable information that Yan Song was hiding in Lu Mansion.

But before he could speak, Lu Yanchao took the initiative to get out of the way.

"Today, I will ask the magistrate to enter the house and search the house at will. Even if he digs three feet into the house, he will search out the people, lest anyone has ulterior motives and thinks that I am harboring imperial criminals."

After saying that, he made a careless and provocative gesture: "Please, Lord Magistrate."

Xie Junyi suddenly became embarrassed.

Looking at the gloomy faces around him, I wanted to eat him alive, how dare I bring him into the house.

He knew very well what this move meant. If the culprit could not be found, he would probably have no way out.

"What, the magistrate still has concerns?"

Lu Yanchao continued to provoke: "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"Yan Chao, it's rare for your Majesty to come here, why bother to dampen your Majesty's interest."

Lu Wenqian had already noticed the clues.

She quietly looked at his hands and found that they were still stained with blood.

On the other hand, none of the Holy Lady and her group are glamorous. It is obvious that they are not together these days.

I think Yansong has been transferred away long ago.
