Wu Song was dazed when he heard it, and asked Song Yuchan, "Didn't you harm Duke Yan by doing this?"
Song Yuchan asked him, "Then what do you think I should do? I can't tell Lord Yan that your housekeeper has bad intentions and has hooked up with your wife to deliberately kill you, right?"
Wu Song thought for a while and said, "Duke Yan certainly won't believe it."
Song Yuchan sighed, "So, I am helpless too! I can only use this trick to lure the snake out of the hole and let Li Gu stand up on his own initiative. After this catastrophe, Duke Yan can see through Li Gu's true colors!"
Yan Qing quickly adjusted her mood, and asked Song Yuchan, "What are you going to do next?"
Song Yuchan said confidently, "It's good to just wait and see what happens. Lord Yan is still a nobleman of the country, and Liang Zhongshu cannot let him deal with it arbitrarily. He has no key evidence. Even if he reports to the court, he can't do anything to Lord Yan."
Yan Qing always felt that this girl had bad intentions and wanted her father to suffer in death row.
Wu Song said that he went to the teacher's gate to ask for help, but the girl refused to let him go.
Maybe it's not a problem for Chaos Beast to bring Duke Yan out now.
Thinking about it this way, Yan Qing understood everything.
This girl has a plan in mind, and she only wants to see Duke Yan suffer, so that she can give up her illusions about the imperial court.
Song Yuchan could do this, but as a son, he couldn't.
In order to ensure that Duke Yan is fine, he had to find a way himself.
"Brother Wu Song, you are here to protect Yuchan, I'll go out for a while."
He got up and clasped fists with Wu Song to explain, and left the inn alone.
Wu Song watched him leave, looked back at Song Yuchan uncertainly, and said, "Why do I feel that something is wrong!"
Song Yuchan poured wine for him, and told him with a smile, "Don't worry, it's fine anywhere. You're good to eat wine, and things will come to an end within two days."
Wu Song picked up the cup and watched her drink it down, and simply didn't think about it anymore.
He just worked hard, leaving Song Yuchan and Yan Qing to use his brains.
After one night, the magistrate Liang Zhongshu asked people to prepare Li Gu's testimony and the letter to be sent to the capital.
After the joint trial of the three divisions, immediately convict Lu Junyi.
In the morning, the master came to him and told him something extraordinary.
All the words on that letter disappeared overnight, leaving only a blank sheet of paper.
Liang Zhongshu was astonished and asked his master to examine it carefully.
The master told him, "My lord, the little one has already been checked. This letter is written with a special kind of ink, which was used by the bank and the pawn shop to do shady activities. It will last for three days at most. It will dissipate automatically. Yixiao's guess is that Song Gongming deliberately used this kind of pen and ink for fear of causing trouble for Lu Junyi."
Liang Zhongshu said with some liver pain, "Then what should we do now? Without key evidence, how can we convict Lu Junyi?"
The master thought for a while and said, "If there is no evidence, how about we forge one?"
Liang Zhongshu glared at him and said, "He is also the Duke of Yan, the pillar of the country. If we mess up, if the higher-ups seriously investigate, can I take care of this?"
Master nodded repeatedly and said, "What the master said is very true."
Liang Zhongshu pondered and said, "Although the key evidence is gone, we still have the testimony of the housekeeper of Lu's house. Now that the imperial army is going south to suppress the rebellion, there can be no mistakes. Even with this testimony, we can cure Lu Junyi, a private The crime of being a traitor. Even if this crime kills him, his title can still be revoked, and he can be assassinated in a different place and leave the Daming Mansion."
The master agreed, "The master is right. The court will definitely be careful about the important matters of the military. I will go to revise the documents and try to make this case an iron case."
Liang Zhongshu flicked his hand and asked him to do it.
At this time, a close friend came to report that it was Li Gu, the housekeeper of the Lu family, who came to pay homage.
Liang Zhongshu raised his eyebrows and asked Li Gu to be brought to the inner hall to meet him.
After Li Gu came in, he saw Liang Zhongshu bowed his waist and saluted repeatedly, "For the villain, see the magistrate."
Liang Zhongshu raised his eyebrows while drinking tea, "What are you doing here?"
Li Gu complimented, "I know that the old man is working day and night for my master's case, so I specially brought some gifts to visit the old man."
He took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve, went up and handed it to Liang Zhongshu.
Liang Zhongshu took it over and took a look. These were ten silver notes from the Qilin bank, with a total of [-] gold coins.
The Qilin bank is operated by Lu Junyi, and it spreads all over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, even outside the customs.
Liang Zhongshu looked at Li Gu unexpectedly, and asked him with a cold face, "What do you mean? Bribing this official?"
Li Gu knelt down and explained again and again, "Don't be angry, my lord, how dare I let my lord do illegal things. The little one is here to comfort you sincerely, to show my respect for your hard work for the country and the people."
Seeing that he was so obedient, Liang Zhongshu showed a satisfied look on his face, and raised his hand to signal him, "Get up and talk!"
"Thank you sir!"
Li Gu stood up carefully, happy in his heart, knowing that Liang Zhongshu accepted him.
Liang Zhongshu asked him, "Your master has been imprisoned. It seems that you are the one who benefits now?"
Li Gu rolled his eyes and said, "The young one is only temporarily in charge of the family business on behalf of the master. Normally, the master doesn't care about family affairs, and all the business in the family is taken care of by the young one. If the adults are willing, the business of the Lu family will belong to the adults in the future. "
Liang Zhongshu sneered, "Oh? If I take away the Lu family's property, wouldn't people in the world think that I deliberately made things difficult for Lu Junyi for the sake of the Lu family's property? Are you trying to frame me and be unrighteous?"
Li Gu repeatedly explained, "How is this possible? How dare a young man tease an adult. To be honest, after my master enters, the property in the family will be in charge of his wife Jia. This Jia usually does not leave the door, and the second door does not step." , I don’t know anything about business matters. The adults can completely keep the Lu family and the Jia family’s appearance. Let the villains cooperate with the adults in the Lu family, so that the adults can get real benefits. People in the world will never say more about such behavior What, and will praise the benevolence of adults."
"You are really a good steward of Duke Yan!"
Liang Zhongshu looked at him with a half-smile, as if watching a dog wagging its tail at him.
Li Gu felt apprehensive, and finally understood what an official city is.
Liang Zhongshu asked him, "I heard that you and this Jia family seem to be somewhat entangled?"
Beads of sweat dripped from Li Gu's head, and he knelt down on the ground with a puff.
Liang Zhongshu scolded, "Don't think that I don't know what you want to do. You just want to use my hand to get rid of Lu Junyi, so that you can occupy Lu's property and live with that Jia family, right?"
Li Gu immediately kowtowed and shouted, "My lord knows, the little one has this intention, but the loyalty of the little one to the big man is also a lesson from heaven and earth! The little one knows that with his own ability, he cannot manage the Lu family's property. Therefore, I am willing to share it with the adults, and only ask the adults to take care of the villains."
Liang Zhongshu looked at him and smiled with satisfaction, such a dog, and a dog that can make money, only a fool would not want it.
He and Li Gu raised their hands and said, "Okay, I understand your loyalty. Don't worry about going back, your master will definitely not be able to go back. As you said, I will entrust you with the property of the Lu family But if you dare to do anything inside, I can protect you, or easily crush you to death, do you understand?"
"understand!"
Li Gu kowtowed again and again, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
