Lu Dahai felt that what happened today was very strange.
At the saint's canonization ceremony, he lowered his head and thought about how to tell his father about the new saint of Chu.
Then when he looked up, he realized that something was wrong with everyone!
Not only did his colleagues have a cold attitude, but even the junior officials who used to fawn over him seemed to avoid him.
The Minister of Rites, who always thought highly of him, even gave him a fierce look!
Lu Dahai felt inexplicably uneasy.
Could it be that his affairs were exposed?
Thinking of this, Lu Dahai's heart skipped a beat.
He and his father had only gotten in touch recently and had only communicated a few times. Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone to know!
Lu Dahai thought about it and decided to pack his bags and prepare to run away. Anyway, the Marquis of Jinyang had recognized him.
After going to Qi State, wouldn't his future be bright based on his status and talents?
Just as Lu Dahai was packing up the gold and silver, his confidant Liu Ping suddenly stumbled over.
While breathing heavily, he said in a panic: "It's not good! Sir! The officers and soldiers have surrounded our house!"
Lu Dahai was startled. The fine jade cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces in an instant.
One moment he was still debating whether to take this set of jade lamps given by his father, and the next moment he was just worried that he would never be able to leave again.
Even with the worst plan, Lu Dahai still held on to a bit of luck, grabbed Liu Ping and said: "Go tell Wang Zhi and ask father to come and save me!"
When Marquis Jinyang found him, he passed the news through Wang Zhi. Liu Ping was the only person in the Shilang's Mansion who knew about it.
Liu Ping said anxiously: "Sir, we can't get out now!"
Lu Dahai said ferociously: "You act according to the circumstances! This is our only chance to survive! Do you hear me!"
Liu Ping nodded repeatedly.
Lu Dahai suddenly thought that there was something else in the study, and quickly rushed over to destroy the evidence.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he saw the Minister of Punishment standing there.
Du Muqing sneered: "Hey, why is the minister so panicked?"
Damn it, this bitch looks like a human being, but behind his back he does things that are worse than a pig or a dog!
Lu Dahai broke into a cold sweat, but he also knew that at times like this, he had to stay calm.
He said calmly: "My lord, I'm just in a hurry to handle official business, but I don't know what your lord is doing here?"
Just as Du Muqing was about to answer, he saw his subordinates already coming out with several letters.
"Sir, the evidence has been found."
Yue Zixin presented the letter with both hands.
Lu Dahai's eyes widened and he rushed to snatch it without thinking, but was held down by the officers and soldiers.
Jing Zhaoyin strode over and mocked: "What? Are you trying to jump over the wall?"
Lu Huaiying saluted Du Muqing and asked, "Sir, is the evidence already conclusive?"
Du Muqing nodded, took the letter, opened it, and read: "My son from Qi, my father has finally found you... You need to be patient in Chu for a while, and when the time is right, I will take you back to Da Qi." , make you the Crown Prince of Jinyang..."
Lu Dahai's eyes were splitting after hearing this, and he kept struggling. The officer and soldier who held him down kicked him hard in the knee, and he finally calmed down.
Du Muqing and Lu Huaiying both looked fiercely, wishing to kill this traitorous spy immediately!
Fortunately, they all heard the Saint's voice, otherwise they wouldn't have known how long they would have been betrayed by Lu Dahai!
Lu Dahai and everyone in the Vice Minister's Mansion were all taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
During the next few days of trial, Lu Dahai refused to let go. He only said that it was a false accusation and hoped that the Marquis of Jinyang would send someone to rescue him every day.
But not long after, Liu Ping whispered to him: "Sir, Xiao Hua Yinzi secretly sent someone to send a message, but found that Wang Zhi had already run away!"
Lu Dahai's eyes darkened.
He suffered so much and did all this for his father, but in the end he ended up like this!
Why, why is this!
Later, under the torture, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and confessed everything.
Emperor Ming of Chu immediately sentenced him to death.
When being led to the execution ground, Lu Dahai was still looking around, still hoping for the last glimmer of hope.
The people gathered in a circle and pointed at him.
"Look! This is the traitor Lu Dahai!"
"I heard he's still the Minister of Rites!"
"He's such a big official and yet he's betraying the country. I really don't know what he's thinking!"
"It seems that his biological father is the Marquis of Qi..."
"So what! Now that you see this, do people still care about him?"
…
Lu Dahai finally felt a trace of regret in his heart as he listened to the whispers of the people around him.
If he had not contacted the Marquis of Jinyang, he would still be the prestigious Minister of Rites today!
Suddenly, Lu Dahai saw two familiar figures in the crowd.
Those are his adoptive father and mother!
Two stooped, gray-haired old men supported each other and stood quietly in the crowd looking at him, with tears already streaming down their old faces.
Lu Dahai couldn't help but burst into tears.
Nowadays, they are the only ones who would shed tears for people like him.
He knew that he was adopted since he was a child. After being laughed at because of his poverty, he looked down on his adoptive parents who farmed in the suburbs of Beijing and vowed to make a difference.
After he gained fame, he became more and more distant from his adoptive parents for fear of being looked down upon by others.
When he became the Minister of Rites, his biological father contacted him and said that he would be given the title of Prince of the Hou Mansion. He believed it, but ended up like this.
Lu Dahai never thought that the people who came to see him for the last time were his adoptive parents who he had always looked down upon.
And the biological father who kept saying he would take him back, never came to see him once.
Lu Dahai lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at the faces of his adoptive parents.
The executioner looked at the sun in the sky and shouted: "It's noon, execution!"
The executioner received the order, picked up the sword, squirted a sip of wine, and then chopped it off neatly.
The moment before the head fell to the ground, Lu Dahai took one last look at his adoptive parents.
If there is a next life, let me be a cow and a horse to repay you.

System: [Host, has successfully helped Chu State eradicate Tongqi spies, points +500]
Chu Siqing was confused: [Huh? ? ? I didn't do anything? 】
[Could it be that my father told Uncle Huang after he heard my thoughts? 】
The system analyzed: [It should be so. 】
In fact, he didn't find out the specific reason. For some reason, some things seemed to be blocked.
Chu Siqing was delighted: [It seems that I am quite good at being a saint! 】
When it was time to enter Tianyan Pavilion, Chu Siqing was carried by Nanny Li and entered the palace with Princess Yu.
After entering the Tianyan Pavilion, Princess Yu handed her daughter over to Tu Qingchen: "Thank you, the Imperial Master."
Tu Qingchen took Chu Siqing and said, "Don't worry, Princess."
Chu Siqing got her wish and was carried into the arms of the handsome guy, but she found that Tu Qingchen looked at her with a complicated look, as if she felt pity for her.
Chu Siqing:? ? ?
What's going on?
