Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Hearing Duke Xu's question, Ma Duzhi hesitated for a moment.

He looked up at the emperor and said, "I wiped out a Red Lotus sect base a month and a half ago and found Lu Xuande's name in the accounts. He provided more than 3,000 taels of funds for the base's activities over the past few years."

"In order to grab the credit, I sent people to visit Lu Xuande's home at night... Later, I heard that his family was taken away by the Cui family. Several of my subordinates thought that the Cui family was also members of the Red Lotus Sect, so they went to hunt down the Cui family and threw Lu Xuande's family into jail..."

"The Cui family is currently being held in a secret place by me. If Your Majesty wants to ask, I can bring them here at any time."

After Ma Duzhi finished speaking, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Lu Xuande is actually a member of the Red Lotus Sect?

Lu Bozhou finally realized what was wrong.

coincide!

There are too many coincidences.

A coincidence may be unintentional.

But if everything is a coincidence, then there is a problem.

He also remembered that after Li Jinglan was kidnapped to the villa, the person Xu Jingchen killed was a member of the Red Lotus Sect.

Lu Bozhou glanced at the emperor covertly, then looked at the standing Prince of Jin.

King Jin felt Lu Bozhou's gaze and gave him a faint smile.

He raised his left hand, touched his earlobe, and scratched his chin.

Then Prince Jin clasped his hands and looked at everyone in the hall with an outsider's expression.

Listen more and talk more?

wrong!

Lu Bozhou lowered his head.

The King of Jin was probably telling him to just listen and not speak.

Lu Xuande became anxious and shouted, "I don't know anything about the Red Lotus Sect!"

The Red Lotus Sect is an anti-religious sect and everyone wants to destroy it.

How dare Lu Xuande get involved with the Red Lotus Sect?

Ma Duzhi sneered several times: "After you took over Lu Jingzu's business, you hired a lot of thugs. Where did you hire them from?"

Lu Xuande was stunned for a moment, "They are all from the surrounding villages and counties."

"I have checked your thugs, and they are all members of the Red Lotus Sect." Ma Duzhi said.

Lu Xuande panicked, "I really don't know what the Red Lotus Sect is."

"You may not know the Red Lotus Sect, but you should know Zhang Ergou. He is your mother's nephew, and he is a member of the Red Lotus Sect."

"Did you find the thugs through your cousin Zhang Ergou in these years?"

"How can the thugs you hired cost two thousand taels a year?"

Ma Duzhi's questions stabbed into Lu Xuande's heart like a knife.

Lu Xuande trembled, "That's the peace lantern he buys for my son in the temple every year."

"After you took over Lu Jingzu's shop, you didn't know how to run it, and your income dropped significantly. When you returned the shop to Lu Xiuzhuan, your annual income was only a little over 100 taels."

"But you have to give Zhang Ergou several hundred or a thousand taels every year."

"You gave Zhang Ergou so much silver to light a peace lamp for his son in the temple? Do you think we will believe it?"

"It's true! It's true!" Lu Xuande kowtowed vigorously in the direction of the emperor, "This lantern is called the Nine Dragon Fortune Lantern, and it is meant to steal Lu Bozhou's luck!"

Ma Duzhi continued to ask, "What lamp? Whose luck are you borrowing?"

"After Lu Bozhou was born, a wandering Taoist priest came to his home and said that there was purple energy on Lu Bozhou's body..." Lu Xuande said very quickly.

"Later, a wandering monk came to my house and said that my son also had purple energy that soared into the sky, but it carried evil spirits, so he needed to borrow the luck of others."

"It just so happened that Lu Bozhou's parents had both passed away, so I... I just borrowed his luck."

"My son used to be uneducated, but after I imprisoned Lu Bozhou and turned on this running light for him, he started to study hard."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the City God Temple and see. The lamp I lit is always there."

All the ministers in the court were speechless.

There is purple energy on Lu Bozhou, and your son also has purple energy on him?

So this purple energy is free and anyone who wants can have it?

Scholars all respect ghosts and gods but keep their distance from them.

Believe it when you need it, and don’t believe it when you don’t need it!

When the prefects and county magistrates prayed for rain, if it did not rain for several days in a row, they would whip the Dragon King.

Who believes in borrowed luck?

Who would believe that someone was born with auspicious signs from heaven? That's just a lie to fool fools.

Things like Liu Bang beheading a white snake, hiding books in a fish's belly, and a wild fox howling at night.

That's because they couldn't find a legitimate reason to rebel, so they forged a name bestowed by heaven.

Just because of such a reason that only a fool would believe, Lu Xuande seized Lu Bozhou's property and imprisoned and abused Lu Bozhou for four years?

That's horrible!

At this time, Duke Xu drew everyone's attention to Ma Duzhi.

"Since you have investigated so much about Lu Xuande, why don't you try him and not report it, but just lock him and his family in jail?"

Yup!

The ministers couldn't understand why Ma Duzhi did this.

"Because, when I was investigating... I discovered that Lu Bozhou's background was different!"

Ma Duzhi looked at Lu Xuande, "When I interrogated Lu Xuande, he said that he suspected that Lu Bozhou was not Lu Jingzu's biological son, so he dared to attack Lu Bozhou."

"Lu Jingzu eloped with Bai in Jiaxing, and then went all the way north to the capital, choosing Xishui Village to settle down."

"When Lu Jingzu first met Lu Xuande, Bai was holding a half-year-old child in her arms."

"And Lu Jingzu and Bai eloped half a year ago."

"If Bai had just given birth to a child, how could she have endured the tiring journey from Jiangnan to the capital?"

"In order to verify this, I have found the foot shop where Lu Jingzu and Bai Shi came to the capital, and also found the shopkeeper at that time. The shopkeeper said that Lu Jingzu brought the child back when he went out one day."

Those officials who were slow to realize what was happening gasped and immediately fell silent, not even daring to scream.

It’s time to lift the lid!

How can this be a trial of Lu Xuande?

This was an open trial of Lu Xuande and a covert vindication of Lu Bozhou's identity.

Duke Xu suddenly looked down at the memorial in his hand with a look of astonishment.

He was used as a gun!

He was used as a gun!

Damn it!

I have been hunting geese all the time, and today I got pecked in the eye by a goose that came from nowhere?

In panic, Duke Xu first looked at his eldest son and relative, Prince Jin.

The King of Jin gathered his sleeves and said nothing.

Duke Xu then looked at his second son and relative-in-law, Prince Zhao.

King Zhao's expression was obviously a little surprised, but this surprise was fleeting.

Duke Xu went to see Duke Wei again.

Duke Wei also had a look of astonishment on his face.

Then he looked at Yin Zhihai. Yin Zhihai closed his lips, not making eye contact with anyone, but just lowered his head to look at Lu Xuande.

The elders in Wenyuan Pavilion had different expressions.

Duke Xu finally went to see the emperor.

The emperor sat on the high dragon throne with no expression on his face.

Just as all the ministers were stunned and no one spoke, Lord Zhao came out.

Kneel down.

"I am old, and I beg Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return home."

A sigh came from the high dragon throne: "The country cannot be without Zhao Aiqing for a day, Aiqing, please don't talk about retirement anymore."

"Your Majesty, I have been feeling physically and mentally exhausted these days, and I have been eating much less than usual."

Zhao Ge Lao prostrated himself on the ground: "I am old now, I just want to return to my hometown and be buried."

"If it's a few years later, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to return home."

As Zhao Ge Lao spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. "I beg Your Majesty to have pity on my old age and allow me to return home and be buried next to my parents."

The sound of Lord Zhao crying could be heard in the hall.

No one spoke.

Everyone looked at Lord Zhao and then at Lu Bozhou.

Everyone was thinking about it in their hearts.

More people looked at their own teachers, waiting for their backbone to speak.

Lu Bozhou was thinking about Li Jinglan.

Li Jinglan's judgment on state affairs is so accurate.

The emperor was indeed using Lord Zhao's resignation to distract everyone's attention.

What should the emperor do next?

Lu Bozhou now couldn't wait to go home and tell Li Jinglan everything that happened today.

On the Dragon Throne.

The emperor finally spoke: "Let's put off the matters discussed today and adjourn the court! Zhao Aiqing, please follow me."

The emperor stood up and left the hall to his ministers.

It also leaves time for the ministers to discuss and respond.

As the emperor retired from court, invisible ripples spread outward.

Xu Jingchen sat in a small pavilion in the military camp, drinking tea quietly.

In front of him, there was an empty tea bowl.

It was used by Li Jinglan in the military camp.

The deputy commander of the front camp walked into the pavilion and whispered in his ear.

"Duke Xu impeached the Office of Investigation."

Xu Jingchen hummed and filled the empty tea bowl opposite him. "The show is about to begin."

There are only two chapters today! My dear children, I must take a break today.

I owe the big health care reward from "Qianqi Baiguai De Jiang Ruhong" first. I owe the boss two chapters. The boss will make a note of it. I will pay it back tomorrow. I really can't do it today.

I'm going to code the next chapter
