The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 259 Too Greedy
Hearing what these people said, Lu Ji's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he looked at Liu Chan's mother and daughter, "You all heard that Louwailou is in business, and it's all about these rascals. What you did was not that the third son deceived you."

At this moment, Mother Liu changed from her previous snarky behavior, and her eyes flickered, "Whatever Lord Shoufu and Lord Fuyin say, that's what happened."

The current meaning is that the Jiang family is using their power to suppress people.

The onlookers began to discuss again.

"These people were brought by Mr. Shoufu. Who knows if they were ordered to silence them in advance."

"No matter what, the innocent daughter has suffered such grievances, she must give some compensation."

Mother Liu was waiting for these words, and she said with great grievance: "Who dares to ask for compensation from Mr. Shoufu, so I brought my daughter back..."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and said to her daughter: "I won't have the face to go to college to study in the future. After such a bad thing happened, I guess no one would want to marry you. Hey... who told us that our lives are bad."

Liu Chan got up from her mother's arms, wiped the tears off her face, and said angrily, "If that's the case, what's the point of my life!"

After saying that, she pulled out the hairpin from her head and was about to stab her neck.

When the hairpin was about to pierce the delicate skin of Liu Chan's neck, Mrs. Liu grabbed her hand, "Daughter! I only have you as a child. If you die, what will I do!"

"Mother, the child is not filial!" After speaking, Liu Chan wanted to break free from her mother's hand and continue to commit suicide.

"Oh, this is going to kill people!"

"This mother and daughter are too pitiful. The Jiang family is not short of money. As for forcing people to death like this?"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Jiang Ye suddenly got up, and went to stop Liu Chan without thinking.

In the blink of an eye, the hairpin was sharpened, and instead of piercing Liu Chan's neck, it pierced into the back of Jiang Ye's hand. Blood quickly oozed from the wound and fell drop by drop on the bluestone floor tiles, which was particularly glaring.

"Brother Ye!"

Jiang Qixi strode to support Jiang Ye's arm, with concern in his eyes.

Liu Chan didn't expect Jiang Ye to come back to stop him. After accidentally hurting him, Liu Chan was also stunned.

Lu Ji immediately ordered the yamen servant, "Go get the doctor!"

Jiang Ye waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.He looked at Liu Chan, and said plainly: "Miss Liu, you and I were classmates, and I asked you to help. You had an accident in my restaurant, and I, as the shopkeeper, have no shirkable responsibility. But when my father came to the door earlier, , I’ve already given you money to scare you, don’t you think it’s hypocritical for you to make such a gesture now?”

Jiang Qixi, as a virtuous minister of the Qingliu, also holds a high position as the chief assistant, so naturally he would not talk about using money to appease a woman.

When Jiang Ye said this, the people looked at Liu Chan's mother and daughter with less sympathy.

"It turned out that I thought there was too little money!"

"Insufficient greed!"

Seeing the change of opinion among the crowd, Liu Chan was ashamed and angry. She said in a nasal voice after crying, "Do you think I'm doing it for money? How can money make up for what happened to me?"

Without waiting for the doctor to come, Jiang Ye pulled out the silver hairpin on the back of his hand and threw it in front of Liu Chan, "You are to blame for what happened to you!"

As soon as he said this, the direction of public opinion that had been biased towards the Jiang family changed again, and they all began to accuse Jiang Ye of being cold-blooded.

Jiang Qixi's hand supporting Jiang Ye also tightened, but he didn't say anything after all.

He can give money to settle things down, but the Jiang family's century-old noble family cannot be tarnished!
The silver hairpin fell to the ground in front of Liu Chan, but she didn't have the courage to pick it up and perform suicide.

Regardless of the pointing and pointing from the onlookers outside, Jiang Ye cupped his hands at Lu Ji, "Lord Lu, Caomin hopes that you will send someone to search the homes of Mrs. Liu's mother and daughter."

Lu Ji immediately understood what Jiang Ye meant, and immediately ordered two arrests to go.

Mother Liu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she shouted: "Okay, okay, even if we are unlucky, we will not sue this case, and we can withdraw the pleadings!"

Lu Ji patted the gavel, and said with a sneer, "The nature of this case has changed now! You just pointed out that the restaurant is the property of the imperial husband, and Mr. Shoufu shielded his son. This is suspected of slandering the imperial relatives and court officials." , Shuntian Mansion has the responsibility to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

Liu Chan's mother and daughter just wanted to use the voice of the masses to put pressure on Shuntian Mansion, so they deliberately involved the royal family. How could they know that things would turn into a bad situation for them now.

"Minnv also heard it from hearsay, how would anyone know whose property the restaurant is... Besides, even if you check things, there is no need to search Minnv's home..."

Liu Chan hastily defended herself.

Lu Ji looked directly at her, "I'm also very curious, I don't know who owns the restaurant before I read the documents, but you just pointed out that the hill is the property of the emperor, then Who told you that?"

Jiang Nian gave the title deed to Jiang Ye, but outsiders didn't know about it, Jiang Ye immediately said: "When you came to apply for the tea lady, I only said that it was my restaurant, and I didn't mention half of His Royal Highness. Where did you find out?"

Liu Chan faltered, "I'm talking nonsense..."

Lu Ji squinted his eyes, "Okay, you dare to accuse His Royal Highness casually, it's disrespectful to the royal family, first hit [-] big boards!"

After finishing speaking, he took two red-headed lottery from the lottery holder and threw them on the ground.

The yamen servant held Liu Chan on the ground with a water and fire stick, and beat Liu Chan cracklingly.

"Help... um..."

After all, Liu Chan was a woman, so she couldn't stand such a beating from the yamen servants. After a few blows, she could only groan in pain.

Seeing this, Liu's mother trembled with fright. She didn't dare to say anything for a while, and could only watch her daughter being beaten.

Lu Ji turned to those guests, "Who told you that the building outside the building is made of flesh and blood?"

When those people saw Liu Chan being beaten, they were a little frightened at first, but now they panicked even more and kowtowed unceasingly.

"My lord, please forgive me, to be honest, the grassroots have no other hobbies, they just like to go to... the brothel to drink flower wine... When we were drinking a few days ago, someone asked us to go, so we went..."

These few people are not doing business in the emperor, and the price of vegetables in the Louwailou is definitely not something they can afford, not to mention that the Louwailou is still in the suburbs. Tastefully ran this far.

"Who is the person who invited you?"

Those few people shrank their necks, looked left and right, looking embarrassed.

Lu Ji stretched out his hand to the red-headed lottery, and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me..."

In the end, one of them was pushed out, and that person said deathly: "My lord, spare me! That person is... a rat!"

Hearing this name, Lu Ji's pupils shrank slightly. Since the incident with Feng Shiyang last time, this person seemed to have evaporated in the imperial capital. No matter how much Shuntian Mansion searched, he could not find this person.

"The rat is a prisoner of the imperial court. You know his whereabouts, why don't you report it to the government!"

Thinking of this person, Lu Ji felt both old and new.

"My lord... We usually hang out in the market... When the rats usually ask for news, they will ask us, and the price they give is also high, so..."

Lu Ji quickly understood that these people were basically the same as Rat. Rat disappeared in the imperial capital during this period, probably because of the cover of his cronies.

Since the rat is so popular in the market of the imperial capital, he should not be willing to give up the territory of the imperial capital and go to other places. He must still be in the imperial capital.

These four people thought that they would be fine if they confessed to Rat, but Lu Ji said: "Rat was imprisoned by the imperial court, and he has not been brought to justice yet, do you think you can get away with just pushing the matter on him?"

"My lord, it is absolutely true that the rat invited us, it has nothing to do with us!"

Seeing Lu Ji's frosty face, those people hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Unless I catch the rat and ask the truth, I can't be sure that the matter has nothing to do with you just based on your one-sided words."

"Master Mingjian, he usually comes to us when there is something to do, how can we know his whereabouts. Besides, he wears gray clothes all day long, and most of his face is blocked by loose hair. I don't even know what he looks like!"

Lu Ji said coldly: "Then go to the prison and have a quiet time, I believe you will remember."

After his words fell, these people were picked up by the yamen servants and taken to the prison.While being dragged by the guards, they also screamed for injustice.

And Liu Chan over there has finished hitting the board and is lying on the ground dying.

At this time, the police who went to search Liu's house also came back.

"My lord, my subordinates found 100 taels of silver in Liu's house!"

After speaking, they presented ten shiny silver ingots, each weighing twelve taels.Liu Chan's mother and daughter had already accepted Jiang Qixi's money, so they shouldn't come to Shuntian Mansion to cause trouble. They came here with such fanfare, most likely they were ordered by others, and the time was so short, those who bought them money He must still be at home, that's why Jiang Ye asked Lu Ji to search Liu's house, which really paid off!
Lu Ji casually weighed a silver ingot in his hand, and looked at Liu Chan's mother and daughter with pale faces.

"Aren't the orphans and widows from a poor family? Why are there so many treasures hidden in the family?"

Liu Chan was beaten twenty times, and now she was covered in cold sweat, her face was pale, and she no longer had the strength to speak anymore.

Mother Liu clutched the corner of her clothes helplessly, looked at Lu Ji tremblingly, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times, "My lord, spare me! The women are recruited for everything. After the women's daughter was sent home, a strange man came to her door. Come here, say that my innocent girl can't be bullied for nothing, she has to go to Shuntian Mansion to ask for an explanation. The restaurant is the property of the emperor's husband, and the relationship with the Jiang family is all said by that person. The woman thought The Jiang family has such a great reputation. Although they have already given some money, it is only ten taels. If the incident gets worse, they will definitely give us more money to seal our mouths. Besides, the daughter of the civilian woman is indeed affected. Sorry!"

　I was not satisfied with how I wrote yesterday. I have considered the plot for a long time, and I will add a chapter later today to make up for everyone.
