The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Naturally, Lord Chen quickly ordered Hu Shang to be taken to jail.

Master Hai was still in shock. He didn't pay attention to what Master Chen had just said about torturing him. He asked blankly, "No, Master Chen, hasn't he been tried yet? Is he being sent to jail now?"

He knew before that Lord Chen was not a great official, but it was not right to be so careless, right?

Lord Chen snorted coldly.

"Then do we need to have a trial?"

"Why, why don't we have to conduct a trial?"

"There are so many witnesses in Jibaozhai about what he did. Do I need to judge him? Why, you were there too, and you were the one who instigated and guided him to do it, don't you know?"

Only then did Master Hai realize that something was wrong.

Lord Chen wasn't smiling at him. He even directly accused him of instigating and guiding the Hu merchants to mess around?

"Haijian!"

Lord Chen slammed the gavel again and called his name seriously.

In the past, people always called him Lao Hai.

"Who is the person behind you? Tell me now, or you will be severely punished!"

Lord Chen had a stern face.

The prince and Miss Lu are here, so he has to quickly interrogate the person? Hai Jian still doesn't know whether to live or die. Does he think that Chen Deshan is still the same dog official as before?

Do you think that Prince Jin and Miss Lu are easy to mess with? Do you think they are soft persimmons?

"Severe punishment?" Master Hai's face changed.

Over at the prison, Hu Shang was brought over and pushed into a cell.

When he entered, he saw that there was already someone in the cell.

King of Jin?

Is this Miss Lu?

Standing in the small, dark cell, such a perfect couple seemed out of place.

A glimmer of hope and luck still arose in Hu Shang's heart.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, Miss Lu, are you two here to let me out?"

"They all say that Miss Lu is kindhearted. Is Miss Lu here to make up for my debt? I've thought it through. Let's forget about it."

When Hu Shang was brought to the prison cell, he suddenly figured it out.

The experience of being locked up here before came to his mind. He remembered how horrible it was to be locked up like this. He wanted to be free.

"Although the price of the snow lotus is low, just consider it as a gift from me to Miss Lu. No need to raise the price..."

As Hu Shang spoke, he couldn't help but look at Lu Zhaoling twice more.

But he definitely didn't mean to do that. How could he not look at such a beautiful girl standing in front of him? Once he looked at her, he couldn't help but habitually look at her with the same eyes he used to look at beauties. There was something a little vulgar and judgmental about it.

He himself didn't realize it.

Before he could finish his words, King Jin kicked him to the ground.

The severe pain in his abdomen caused him to fall down and his body arched, with his facial features squeezed together in pain.

How could Zhou Shiyue tolerate him?

"Don't waste your time talking to him."

He said to Lu Zhaoling, "I will turn my back and not look. Don't feel burdened and just do your work. No one else will come."

Lu Zhaoling nodded.

Zhou Shiyue walked to the cell door and stood with his back to them.

With him standing there, Lu Zhaoling felt an indescribable sense of security.

Just as Hu Shang struggled to sit up, Lu Zhaoling had already slapped a talisman on his forehead.

She didn't look at anything else and just asked about King Nan Shao.

"King Nan Shao, remember? Now you have returned to the day when you met King Nan Shao. He sent someone to give you some money and asked you to go to the capital and help him find out the news about someone."

"Did he show you a portrait? When the portrait was opened, what kind of portrait did you see?"

Lu Zhaoling guided Hu Shang in a low voice to recall the situation at that time.

She didn't see King Nan Shao's face.

I only saw a man sitting on a throne, wearing red-gold clothes. He looked quite domineering and should be a very tall man.

A man who looked like a manager took the portrait and slowly unfolded it.

Lu Zhaoling saw the person in the portrait.

At just one glance, she was sure that this man was her father.

She didn't know where this intuition came from, but she was sure of it.

This man is actually a bit similar to Lu Ming.

But he is obviously more handsome than Lu Ming, and his eyes are clearer.

The portrait is very delicate, even capturing the man's spirit.

Lu Ming and his temperament are different, one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

After a while, a tray was brought in front of him with several silver ingots on it.

I guess this is the reward for the Hu merchants.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoling destroyed the talisman.

That was enough; she had only wanted to take a look at the portrait.

If Hu Shang had not been taken to the prison and kicked by Zhou Shiyue, causing his brain to tremble and his defenses to loosen, Lu Zhaoling would not have been able to see it so clearly even if she had the talisman.

The effect of using the soul-searching talisman is uncertain. It depends on the person's mental and psychological state.

Lu Zhaoling walked towards Zhou Shiyue.

She felt that if it was Zhou Shiyue, the soul-searching talisman might not be of much use. Even if he could see something, it would probably be some very flashing and blurry fragments.

"let's go."

Zhou Shiyue took her hand.

"See?"

"Ah."

"Go back and talk."

When Lord Chen found out they were leaving, he was furious and walked over and kicked Lord Hai.

"Execution!"

Why couldn't he explain it properly? He couldn't get to the Prince and Miss Lu to show his face.

Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue didn't actually expect Lord Chen to be able to find out anything so quickly, so they naturally didn't wait here.

In the carriage, Lu Zhaoling described the portrait.

"He should have some blood relationship with Lu Ming."

"Qing Xiao should have made some gains."

Zhou Shiyue had previously asked Qing Xiao to investigate the Lu family's affairs, and he should have received some news back soon.

"It seems that the Lu family is not as useless as we thought. They must have some secrets."

Lu Zhaoling frowned as she thought about what she had seen when she looked at Lu Ming's face before.

"It's not normal for Lu Ming to have such a tough life. The amulet he was wearing before was also unusual."

What secrets are behind the Lu family?

Lu Ming has been looking for the key in the porcelain man. What is he trying to do? She had observed Lu Ming before. He might not know what is in the porcelain man. He seemed to know only half of it.

He may just know that the things inside the porcelain figurine are very important, but he may not know what they are specifically or how to use them.

Lu Ming brought her back from the countryside to use her as a shield to deal with his "enemy", but why would this enemy let Lu Ming go when he saw her?

"Can't you use the soul-searching talisman on Lu Ming?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

Lu Zhaoling shook his head.

"Don't look at Lu Ming's cowardly appearance, he is actually very tight-lipped."

Therefore, for all these years, Lu Ming had never revealed that he was not her biological father. He valued Lu Anrong so much, but he never said a word to him.

Moreover, she has some blood relationship with him, so the soul-searching talisman may not be clear.

The other members of the Lu family probably don’t know the secret behind this.

Jin Qiaozhen had been his bedmate for more than ten years, but she still didn't know about the secret room in the abandoned house.
