When Di Yin heard this, he nodded in a profound manner.
When he was about to speak, a figure suddenly rushed over.
Before a group of people could even realize what was going on, they saw Zhou Ren kneeling in front of Lu Wanwan and Di Yin, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Your Highness the Regent, Lord of Gaoyang County, I know that my father has committed a heinous crime. I don't ask for forgiveness and just want to keep him alive. Can you..."
"cannot."
Before Zhou Ren could finish speaking, Lu Wanwan interrupted him.
"You are quite filial. Your father used you as an introduction, and now you can actually turn around and plead for him. This father-son relationship is really delicate."
Magistrate Zhou on the side was also dumbfounded.
At this point, he was already ready to die, but he didn't expect Zhou Ren to stand up and plead for himself!
He thought that at this point, he would have become a loner, and who would want to get involved with someone as sinful as him.
Magistrate Zhou raised his head tremblingly, with trembling lips, "Son...it's your father's fault. My father can't help you. What I did is simply a disgrace to my ancestors!"
Zhou Ren looked at him, probably in a complicated mood, but he didn't say anything after all.
He just kept kneeling in front of Lu Wanwan, hoping to win a chance for Prefect Zhou.
Lu Wanwan looked at this touching father-son relationship and sighed helplessly:
"It's useless for you to kneel down and beg me now. After all, your father is a high-ranking official. Since he has made a mistake, he must be punished. Prefect Zhou must know better than us that such a crime of murder will not be easily forgiven. , and the regent is still there, managing the court officials is the regent’s responsibility, not mine.”
When the topic changed, Lu Wanwan directly pointed the finger at the Prince Regent.
Di Yin was slightly startled.
When she turned around, she saw Lu Wanwan's cunning eyes like a little fox.
Okay, now this girl is getting smarter as she learns, and she even throws the blame on her own head.
But in this matter, Di Yin, as the regent, was even less likely to let go.
"That's all, do you father and son have anything else to say? If so, say your final goodbyes as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ren was almost discouraged and sat down on the ground.
He already knew from the words of the regent that it seemed that this matter could not be avoided.
"Zhou Ren, son..."
At this time, Magistrate Zhou made a voice.
Hearing the noise, Zhou Ren quickly turned around and held his father's hand.
"Dad, I really have no other way. It's all my fault. I didn't listen to your teachings, so I'm helpless now. If I had some rights, I wouldn't watch you die..."
Magistrate Zhou's mood at this moment was extremely complicated.
He finally shed tears of regret and shook his head:
"It's not your fault. I never wanted to promote you to a high-ranking official. This life will be peaceful and the most important thing is to be ordinary. People like your father and I have been controlled by others and it is impossible to escape. I don't want you to live a happy life. I live like this, that’s why I don’t let you study, there’s nothing wrong with being a dandy.”
"Don't blame dad. He did all this for reasons. If he hadn't put that cinnabar plaque on you, you would have died!"
Is there such a thing?
Not only Zhou Ren was shocked, but Lu Wanwan was also very surprised.
"You were born in Yin time, and you are a man. When Taifu Wang has gathered all the souls, you will need to use your soul to seal the final seal."
No wonder, no wonder he wanted to attack his own son.
Lu Wanwan could naturally see that Governor Zhou actually cared about his son.
Even if he said some unpleasant words before, they were just cruel words to prevent others from knowing the truth.
It’s really touching.
"father……"
"Stop crying, stop crying."
Magistrate Zhou reached out his hand and wiped away his son's tears.
"Dad has also saved a lot of money for you over the years. When the time comes, you will take this money and go to a country where no one knows you, and start a stable life."
As Prefect Zhou was speaking, he suddenly thought of something and turned around quickly and said:
"Miss Lu, no, Gaoyang County Lord, I was blind before. I didn't know you were so capable and offended so many times. For the sake of my death, please complete my last sentence." It’s your last wish.”
Even for a person who has committed a heinous crime, his last wish is sincere, and Lu Wanwan has no reason to refuse.
But it also needs to be seen that what he wants is no longer within Lu Wanwan's ability.
"Say it. If I can do it, I will definitely help you do it."
Magistrate Zhou said:
"I have done many evil things in my life. I know who I am, so I dare not ask for forgiveness from others. I only hope that after my death, the Lord of Gaoyang County can protect my son. The only thing left in our family is this piece of cinnabar. Wearing the card probably hurts my body, I hope Miss Lu can help me, don’t let someone with bad intentions take advantage of the loophole, and protect my son!”
He was speaking sincerely at this time.
With tears streaming down his face, it was as if an old father was entrusting his son with his future before his death.
Lu Wanwan nodded.
"It's not a difficult thing, don't worry."
Seeing that Lu Wanwan agreed, Magistrate Zhou hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
He looked back at Zhou Ren and showed off his strength.
He took off the black gauze hat on his head and moved gently, but in the eyes of others, they all sighed, this was equivalent to Ling Chi.
"I have been an official for many years and have done good things for the people, but at the same time I have also done evil things. In the name of heaven, I have died today to apologize. I hope that my misfortune will not affect my son!"
"father--"
Following Zhou Ren's shrill cry, Magistrate Zhou directly pulled out the sword next to him.
Those few steps usually look like nothing, but now they add a bit of vicissitudes.
Magistrate Zhou raised his knife and killed himself in the hall where he once sat, ending his life.
When the dust settled, Zhou Ren burst into tears.
Li Huwei witnessed everything from behind, but never came forward to say a word.
If my guess is correct, Magistrate Zhou has been working for Li Weiwei all these years.
With his official position as Zhou Zhifu, he should not be able to see Taifu Wang, so he could only ask Li Wei to come over and deliver the message.
But now people have died in front of him, and they are not moved at all.
Lu Wanwan looked at Guard Li in front of her and suddenly felt that she might have made a mistake.
This Guard Li looks calm on the surface, like an honest follower, but in fact, there is always a bottomless calculation in his eyes.
Guard Li?
Lu Wanwan stared at him with deep eyes.
