Chapter 264 Zhou Lang's Imprisonment
Speaking of it, Lu Yunqian felt that it was a bit late. She never expected that the Zhang family had waited so long to take action. She was on guard from the first day, and she couldn't find it after searching for so long. problem lies in.
"It's meaningless to say these things now. We should think about how to solve them. If this continues, we will really lose all our money and go bankrupt!" Zhou Lang didn't intend to say some false words to comfort his wife. He even felt that it was a bit annoying for her to defend the Zhang family at this time.
When Zhang Ping saw that everyone didn't deny that it was the Zhang family, she was so angry that she walked away, but this time even Zhou's mother didn't bother to ask her son to coax her, after all, she still played tricks in such a crisis. This kind of temper, in Zhou's mother's opinion, is really a little ignorant.
When Lu Yunqian was about to give some advice, she suddenly heard the sound of uniform footsteps. Turning her head, she was surprised to see a line of people in the uniform of the Governor's Mansion had entered Zhou's house.
The sudden change caught the Zhou family by surprise, and in the end Zhou Lang stepped forward to salute and asked what was the matter.
The leader announced coldly: "The people of Jinzhou have reported that the Zhou family is suspected of selling poisonous salt. Please Zhou Lang follow me back immediately to assist in the investigation."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, two soldiers came out from behind him, one left and one right restrained Zhou Lang, making it clear that he wanted to take Zhou Lang away by force.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother suddenly changed their faces in anxiety. Zhou's father could barely stand up and explain to his son, but Zhou's mother fainted when she stood up unsteadily. Zhou Lang suddenly yelled in anxiety: "Mother!"
Lu Yunqian was caught off guard by such a change. She could only support Mother Zhou, and then took her pulse. After confirming that she was fine, she explained to Zhou Lang: "Don't worry, uncle, Mother is fine. It’s just that I’m overly frightened, and I’ll wake up later.”
After he was relieved, Zhou Lang said to his captors neither humble nor overbearing: "I will go back with you to investigate, but please don't hurt my family."
The leader nodded, then waved his hand, and the group pushed Zhou Lang out, Zhou Lang looked back at Lu Yunqian as he walked, and said silently, "Sister-in-law, I entrust everything in the house to you! "
Seeing Zhou Lang's eyes, Lu Yunqian naturally understood what he meant, so she nodded emphatically, signaling Zhou Lang to rest assured.
Not long after Zhou Lang was taken away, Mother Zhou woke up. When she saw that Zhou Lang was gone, she burst into tears in anxiety. Lu Yunqian was upset when she heard her voice, so she tried her best to be patient. Temperament comforted: "Mother, calm down, how can you save my uncle in this state? Calm down, let's think of a way together."
At first, Mother Zhou didn't listen to Lu Yunqian's persuasion, but she gradually calmed down after Father Zhou couldn't bear to say something to her.
However, what Lu Yunqian didn't expect was that after Zhou's mother calmed down, she actually came up with her own ideas. She looked at Lu Yunqian with bright eyes and said, "Daughter-in-law, haven't you always had a good relationship with the warlord? You go and replace her." Lang'er begged the warlord for mercy, maybe the warlord will let Lang'er go."
The profound meaning in these words made Lu Yunqian feel a little uncomfortable, so she explained with a sly smile: "I, a woman, have no friendship with the warlord, but I just happened to save him once."
"The kindness of saving my life should be repaid by the fountain, daughter-in-law, I am afraid that you are really the only one in our family who can say a word in front of the warlord. I only have two sons, one has disappeared, and now this one can't do anything anyway." Lost!" When it came to the only remaining son, Zhou's father couldn't help but persuade Lu Yunqian.
Seeing Zhou's father and Zhou's mother's begging and non-critical eyes, Lu Yunqian sighed, and could only nod his head, expressing his agreement.
After receiving Lu Yunqian's affirmative reply, Zhou's father immediately hid the carriage for her happily, hoping that she could go out immediately.
After leaving Zhou's house, Lu Yunqian originally planned to visit the poisoned patients first, to find out what kind of poison was in them, but when she thought that she didn't know who was poisoned, she thought for a while, In the end, I went to the Governor's Mansion first.
When Lu Yunqian arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he happened to meet the butler seeing off the guests at the door.The butler of the Governor's Mansion knew Lu Yunqian, and he was even more aware of the importance and courtesy the Governor gave to this savior, so there was no need for simultaneous interpretation, and the butler took Lu Yunqian directly to the Governor's study.
"Overseer, Miss Li is here!" The butler knocked on the door of the study and reported inside.
The night scene didn't make Lu Yunqian wait for anything, he opened the door of the study almost immediately, waved his hand to get the butler to leave, and then asked Lu Yunqian to enter the study.
"I knew that Alan would definitely come to me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Before Lu Yunqian could speak, Ye Jing said with a smile.
It's easy to talk to smart people, so Lu Yunqian also cut straight to the point and said, "Ye Jing, you should know that it was definitely not Zhou Lang who poisoned you. You must have already figured out who the real poison was."
"Yes, but everything is based on evidence, so I have no way to release Zhou Lang now, because he is now the biggest suspect, and not arresting him is not enough to outrage the people." Ye Jing said very unkindly.
Nodding his head, Lu Yun said with a slight smile: "I understand what the warlord means, and I also know that you are in a difficult position, so I am not here to ask you to release Zhou Lang. I want a list, a list of poisoners, and I will check it out." If the truth is revealed, I must return Zhou Lang's innocence."
Originally, Ye Jing was a little moved when he heard that Lu Yunqian was so considerate of his embarrassment, but seeing that she was so determined and persistent to return Zhou Lang's innocence, for some reason, Ye Jing felt a little sour and uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'll give you the list, and you can come to me if you need help!" After finishing speaking, Ye Jing flipped over on his desk, and handed over the document that the relevant department had just handed over to him. Lu Yunqian.
After getting the list, Lu Yunqian did not stop for a step, and immediately walked towards the door. When he reached the door, Lu Yunqian suddenly stopped, then turned around, looked at the night scene and said, "Can you Can the warlord help take care of Zhou Lang in prison? I'm afraid that his body won't be able to withstand the prison, and he won't be able to hold on until he proves his innocence."
It's good not to mention this, but when Ye Jing was mentioned, his expression turned a little ugly, so that he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Alan, I will definitely take good care of him."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Lu Yunqian did not doubt him at all, and she left contentedly, but she didn't notice Ye Jing staring at the direction of her departure for a long time, with a dark and inexplicable expression on her face, as if she was engaged in some kind of struggle .
