The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 190
The homicide and arson case in the Green Bamboo Pavilion that caused a sensation in the imperial capital finally ended with the real culprit committing suicide in the lobby because of his deeds being revealed.

Because the whole process of the public trial was watched by the family members of the deceased and the common people, and the evidence was conclusive, everyone had nothing to say.

Yang Yushi, Pei Guogong, Zhongyonghou and others also mixed in the crowd to watch. Facing this result, they could only admit it.What they are more worried about now is whether His Majesty will settle accounts for what happened that day.

In the lobby at this time, the corpses of Aqi and Huaniang had already been carried down.

Qingchi looked at the wet blood on the floor, and said quietly: "Ah Qi really doesn't believe that I treat him as a younger brother, otherwise he would use Mixiang. If I really saw such a horrible scene, how could I be indifferent? .”

Although it is not enough to kill people and set fires, paying for those dozens of lives will at least prevent Du Xi from bullying him.

Their calculations are perfect, the only shortcoming is that they no longer believe in people's hearts, otherwise they would not need to do those things superfluously to make Qingchi obediently fall into the urn.At that time, even if Ning Yuezhao wanted to risk the world's disgrace to save Qingchi, she would not be able to.

Lu Ji patted her on the shoulder, "Don't do that, you didn't do anything wrong."

Qingchi smiled weakly at him, "This time, it's thanks to you."

Seeing the beauty, Lu Ji smiled, and completely lost the aloofness he had just had during the trial, "It's not all due to me, but also His Majesty and..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking as if his tongue had been bitten.

Qingchi smiled, with an expression of "I understand your heart".

Lu Ji secretly raised his forehead, thinking about how to explain this big oolong.

Qingchi had already walked in front of Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, and solemnly knelt down, "Qingchi thanked Your Majesty for saving your life!"

Ning Yuezhao helped her up with a smile, "Fool, do you still need to thank me? Besides, I knew from the beginning that you must be innocent."

Jiang Nian just looked at them with a smile, "The one who contributed the most is Lu Ji, the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Now that the half-year appointment is approaching, I feel that it is time for him to be officially promoted to Governor of Shuntian Prefecture."

Ning Yuezhao looked at Lu Ji with approval, "I also have this intention."

Since Lu Ji acted temporarily as Shuntian Mansion Yin, he has handled several major events one after another. First, he helped Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian to suppress Xiao Jingtian's mother Lin, and then he performed well in the case of Han Xiao, let alone this time. Witly solved the murder and arson case in the Green Bamboo Pavilion, and successfully cleared Qingchi.

Previously, when Ning Yuezhao wanted to promote Lu Ji, he was blocked by those old ministers on the grounds that his qualifications were too low. Now that he has outstanding political achievements, those veteran ministers have nothing to say.

Sensing Ning Yuezhao's approving gaze, Qingchi shifted her body a little, and separated the two people's eyes. She smiled and said to Lu Ji: "This time, it's thanks to Mr. Lu. My little girl first congratulates Mr. Lu on his promotion."

Seeing her like this, Lu Ji was like a dumb eater, unable to tell what he was suffering.

Jiang Nian suddenly said: "Although Ah Qi and Hua Niang deserved to die, the dead are already dead. Let's find a place facing south and bury them."

Originally, according to the rules, even though they were dead, they should be hung on the city wall to expose their corpses to the public.Jiang Nian gave them permission to bury them facing their hometowns, which can be said to be an exception.

After all, he couldn't bear to see someone's bones left unclaimed, because he had experienced this pain himself.

Lu Jiji also wanted to ask the two of them for a favor so that they would not expose the dead body on the wall, but Jiang Nian did not expect to say it in advance.

Thinking back to the fact that Jiang Nian begged for grace from the late emperor to bury the whole family of the Lu family, Lu Ji looked at Jiang Nian with a complicated look. Jiang Nian had always been gentle when facing people other than Ning Yuezhao. With a bit of coldness and alienation, but at certain times, he is very compassionate.

Ning Yuezhao also noticed this point. Back then when she and Jiang Nian were not married, the Queen Mother was very jealous of the affairs of the Lu family, but he still asked for mercy. Although the Queen at that time was slightly unhappy, she still praised him. good.

She and Jiang Nian have been married for almost a year, and Jiang Nian is not a kind person who has no place to vent his kindness.

She knew he had a secret, but since he didn't want to tell it, she couldn't ask it abruptly.

Qingchi cupped his hands towards Jiang Nian, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"

After all, she treated Aqi as her own younger brother for such a long time, and Aqi blocked the fatal blow for her at the last moment. She couldn't bear to see his bones left unclaimed.

At this time, the people outside the yamen had almost dispersed.

There was a person who came here in a hurry, and wanted to go straight into the yamen, but was stopped by the yamen, "Who are you, you want to complain and go outside the door to beat the drums!"

The man's voice was a little anxious, "The old man came to see my daughter!"

daughter?The yamen servants were at a loss.

Qingchi has already heard the familiar voice, and excitedly ran towards the door, "Father!"

It was Yan Zhenglang who came.

Lu Ji hurriedly signaled the yamen servant to let him go, Yan Zhenglang was so excited that he couldn't even walk steadily, he held his daughter's arms and said in a trembling voice: "I am very pleased to see you safe and sound as a father!"

Yan Zhenglang knew that today was the day when his daughter was promoted to the public trial, but he didn't have the courage to appear outside the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on the situation outside the Yamen of the Mansion, and heard his subordinates report that Qingchi was fine and cleared up his grievances , he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he ran to Shuntian Mansion.

Qingchi didn't see his father for a few days, knowing that because of his own affairs, his father was also worried about these few days, and he was quite old.

"My daughter is unfilial, and my father is worried."

Yan Zhenglang patted her hand, walked over her to Ning Yuezhao, and solemnly knelt down and bowed, "Your Majesty is so kind and virtuous, I can't repay you! For the sake of this life, I will form a grass ring in the next life!"

Ning Yuezhao helped him up, "Teacher doesn't have to be like this, I said, Qingchi is innocent, so we must return her innocence."

"Your Majesty!" Yan Zhenglang burst into tears with excitement.

Ning Yuezhao sighed softly, the Yan family had already sacrificed a son for the court, how could she let the Taifu lose her daughter in old age?

"Speaking of which, this matter is thanks to Yin Lu Ji of Shuntian Mansion. If he hadn't been running around for the past few days, the matter would not have come to light so quickly." Ning Yuezhao did not forget to praise Lu Ji, quite It meant to show Yan Zhenglang a good son-in-law.

It was only then that Yan Zhenglang noticed the handsome young man in the hall. He had heard about the affairs of the Lu family for a long time, and he had seen the behavior of this young man since he entered the court.There is only Lu Ji in the Lu family now, and Yan Zhenglang often listens to his colleagues who are about the same age sigh. This person is young and has won the trust of the empress. In filial piety.It has been nearly a year since the Lu family's incident, and it is estimated that by the end of this year, a matchmaker will come to the Lu family's door.

Lu Ji looked at the old master who was looking at him, his face was serious, he didn't know what he was thinking, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Qingchi coughed twice, reminding himself of his father.

Yan Zhenglang then bowed solemnly to Lu Ji, "Lord Lu's kindness, I will always remember it in my heart!"

Lu Ji didn't dare to accept his bow, so he held his arm halfway to stop his tendency to bow down, "Master Yan is too polite, this junior can't bear it. This junior will temporarily take the post of governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and find out who is in the area under his jurisdiction." The murder case is the job of the younger generation, so I dare not take credit for it!"

Yan Zhenglang stood up straight according to his strength, and looked at Lu Ji again. The more he looked at this humble and polite young man, the more pleasing he was. Thinking of the jokes made by his colleagues before, and looking at his own daughter, it seemed that he really had such a talent. the taste of.

Ning Yuezhao smiled and said: "Okay, the future is long, and it's not too late to talk about some things later."

After finishing speaking, she looked at the prison clothes on Qingchi, frowned and said: "Go back and change this obtrusive clothes, are you addicted to wearing them?"

Qingchi was a little shy, "Your Majesty made fun of me."

Ning Yuezhao raised her chin lightly and smiled slightly.Jiang Nian held her shoulders, a little helpless.

Yan Zhenglang cupped his hands towards the empress and said, "Since your majesty is out of the palace, I dare to invite your majesty and the emperor's husband to come over to the mansion, let me prepare some drinks and express my thanks."

There is no major matter to deal with in the palace today, it's okay to go back later, so Ning Yuezhao nodded her head firmly.

Yan Zhenglang turned to Lu Ji, "Master Lu, come too."

Lu Ji was a little apprehensive, "It's a great honor for the younger generation, the master can just call me Yunchu."

Yunchu is the surname of Lu Ji.

Yan Zhenglang noticed that the young man was a little cautious when facing him, as if he wanted to get close but was afraid of offending him, so he squinted his eyes, "Okay."

The carriage had already parked at the gate of Shuntian Mansion. Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian walked in the front, followed by Yan Zhenglang and Qingchi, and Lu Ji walked in the last.

When she was about to board the car, Qingchi caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the corner of the street, and she couldn't help but stop.

The man was dressed in black and strong, and his momentum was calm, but his eyes were not on himself, but on the carriage in front of him.

With Jiang Nian's support, Ning Yuezhao got into the carriage, unaware of the burning gaze.

Before Lu Ji got into the car, he had been watching Qingchi silently from behind. Seeing that she suddenly showed a strange expression, he followed her line of sight and saw the man in black and well-dressed at the corner of the street.

Perception tells Lu Ji that this person is Yan Mo, the person that Qingchi is thinking of.

Thinking about this, Lu Ji made a decisive decision, first boarded the carriage, and then stretched out his hand towards Qingchi.

Looking at the hand that suddenly came into sight, Qingchi raised his head, just in time to meet Lu Ji's smiling face.

She couldn't help but glanced at the crazily looking figure at the corner again, gritted her teeth, and helped Lu Ji's hand into the carriage.

Yan Zhenglang was also a little surprised that Lu Ji followed his daughter into the carriage, but after looking at his daughter who was a bit lost, he finally didn't ask anything, but nodded gently at Lu Ji.

Several carriages drove away from Shuntian Mansion one after another, and one person looked gloomyly at the leaving carriages in the alley next to Shuntian Mansion.

Suddenly someone patted the man on the shoulder lightly, the man jumped in shock, and looked at the man wearing the black gauze hat behind him in shock, "Why are you looking for me again!"

The man chuckled, "Master Han, why is he so angry?"

This sneaky person is Han Ying. He originally planned to see Qingchi be dealt with today, but the other party has successfully cleared up his grievances. How can he not be annoyed!
"At the beginning, you said that as long as I hand over the Green Bamboo Pavilion to your people, you can let Yan Qingchi die without a place to bury him, but now!"

Han Ying was so angry that she shouldn't have been blinded by hatred in the first place and believed in this man who appeared out of nowhere.

The Green Bamboo Pavilion was the most profitable among his shady industries, and now it was all reduced to ashes!The woman the man hired was named the proprietress of the Green Bamboo Pavilion, and it would be difficult for him to rebuild the Green Bamboo Pavilion!

The man sneered, "If it wasn't for Mr. Han who was reluctant to part with the child and insisted on transferring all the valuables in the Green Bamboo Pavilion, how could that kid Lu Ji find out the loophole. However, Mr. Han has nothing to lose now, your money is still there , you can build another small house at any time, but you will never think about the chance of revenge in this life."

After speaking, the man turned and left.

Han Ying wanted to chase after her, but she couldn't keep up with her.

That's all, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood!
Thinking of the gold and silver he transferred in advance, Han Ying's mood calmed down a little, but he didn't know that his money had become a reminder to send him on the road.
