As Song Jue said, he really helped a lot. As soon as he showed up, Boss Lu knelt down.
"The sinners, please see your majesty!" Boss Lu kowtowed three times and lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Hey, what are you doing? Keep a low profile. Keep a low profile." Song Jue found a stone bench and sat down, waving his hands to the people who were kneeling down and saluting, "Okay, everyone, get up. I'm traveling incognito. There’s no need to be so polite.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Si stood up and served tea to Song Jue, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Jing respectively, and then stood silently behind Shen Cha.
"Boss Lu, right?" Song Jue looked at the person standing in front of him with his head lowered. "Look up and let me see your face."
"yes!"
Boss Lu carefully raised his head, and while Song Jue was looking at him, he also took the opportunity to look at the supreme emperor. He had only vaguely seen him once on the street before, and heard that this young majesty did not let the ministers worry and always liked to run outside the palace. There are mixed reviews of His Majesty from outside. The most talked about thing is probably that His Majesty is too willful. But taking a closer look today, he felt that the rumors were not credible.
"What do you think of me?" Song Jue touched his face and looked at Boss Lu with a smile, "Isn't it better to meet in person instead of hearing rumors?"
"The guilty people don't dare." Boss Lu immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to face Song Jue again.
"Hey, don't be so formal!" Song Jue waved his hand, "I also watched your play when you were in Xijing, and I liked it very much. Unfortunately, when I wanted to watch it a second time, I heard that You have left Xijing. I originally felt a little regretful, but I didn't expect to meet you in Jiapingguan City. Although the place where we met..." He looked around, "It's really not a good place, it feels a bit eerie, but we met after all. , it can be regarded as a fate between us, right?"
Shen Haolin coughed lightly, glanced at Song Jue sideways, and warned him to stop talking about such nonsense and get to the point quickly.
"Your Majesty, the guilty people don't dare to take responsibility." Boss Lu quickly raised his head to look at Song Jue, and then fell to his knees on the ground, "The guilty people know they are guilty, but the guilty people's sister is innocent. She died miserably now. The guilty people plead Your Majesty, please be merciful, severely punish the murderer, and give justice to the guilty girl."
"I believe that Duke Shen and General Shen will not let the culprit go, but it will take a certain amount of time to investigate the case. Please understand this."
"Your Majesty said this, and the guilty people will feel relieved."
Song Jue saw him kneeling down, but this time he didn't let him get up and just let him kneel there.
"You call yourself a sinner and say that you are guilty. Then you might as well tell me what you are guilty of."
"The sinners and the sinners' girls were supposed to spend their lives in Jiaofangsi like other family members, but they escaped by mistake..."
"You escaped this disaster, right?" Song Jue smiled, "Do you think the late emperor's punishment was unfair?"
"The guilty minister didn't dare. The guilty minister was young at the time and didn't know the reason, so he didn't dare to make any rash comments."
Before Song Jue spoke, Jin Miaomiao walked in from the outside. He saluted Song Jue first, then looked at Boss Lu and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"How?" Song Jue looked at Jin Miaomiao, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "They are indeed brothers and sisters. We can confirm their identities."
Song Jue breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when Qin Zheng confirmed the identity of Boss Lu, the case had already come to light. What they are doing now is just to make this case more solid.
After Liang Qingshan learned that Boss Lu and Su Ji were indeed biological brothers and sisters, he just sighed. He didn't know whether he was lamenting that he had not fulfilled his responsibility as an elder brother, or that his brother's fate was too tragic.
All in all, this case that was discussed a lot throughout Jiaping Pass ended with Jia Liu being executed.
As for Boss Lu, Song Jue said that he had never heard of Boss Lu's background and origins. In his impression, he was the pillar of the theater troupe, and he could do whatever he had to do without worrying about the past.
For Boss Lu, this was a blessing from heaven. He had never expected that there would be such a day when he could truly be himself and live under the sun.
In order to repay Song Jue, Boss Lu, after obtaining the consent of Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, held a hall party at the Duke's Mansion and sang a lively song, which not only satisfied Qin Zheng and Yan Bo's drama addiction , and also fulfilled Song Jue’s wish to watch Boss Lu sing an opera again.
"It's rare to see Song Jue so happy. The last time he smiled like this..." Shen Haolin glanced at Shen Cha, "This is the first time I've seen you."
"Brother!" Shen Cha glanced at him sideways, "Don't talk nonsense, it will bring bad reputation to His Majesty."
"Does this kid need any more reputation? His reputation has been ruined by himself because of the frequent troubles he has caused in the past few years."
These two people were sitting in the corner of the Nuan Pavilion, whispering. They were not interested in the show at all. Instead of sitting with those people and suffering, it would be better to find a quiet place to stay.
"Isn't it good that he is like this now? He is the same as when he was a prince. He has not changed his original intention because he became the emperor. This is very good for Song Jue and us. At least, we don't have to worry about it. To speculate on the emperor's heart, you no longer have to devote part of your mind to dealing with attacks in the court and the emperor's suspicion."
"This is our luck!"
Shen Cha nodded, stood up and wanted to add tea to Shen Haolin, when he saw the door of Nuan Pavilion being pushed open from the outside, and Ying Si walked in hurriedly.
"Boss! The Duke!" Ying Si walked up to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and handed them a small bamboo tube, "Xiao Min sent back an urgent report from Linhuang Mansion!"
Chen Cha suddenly became serious. He took the small bamboo tube handed over by Ying Si, poured out the note inside, and read it carefully.
"how?"
"Although it's a bit unexpected, we have made some speculations about this situation before." Shen Cha handed the small note to Shen Haolin, "When I was in Linhuang Mansion, I felt that something was not right. A person will not do it because of Being so sick due to overwork, Yelvertu's condition is obviously not right. It's all nonsense to say he's sick or that he's not getting enough rest. But..." She glanced at Shen Haolin, "We all feel that this is not the case. It's very possible. This is the first thing to deny. His diet is inspected by special personnel. If he wants to mix things into his food and drink, it will only be someone he trusts and is very close to. But Yelvertu has no one he can trust. , it is unrealistic to give him this kind of chronic medicine for a long time. But I never thought that they would put the medicine in the soothing incense. Fortunately, my uncle is here, otherwise, let alone five years, we will have five months in a row There is no time.”
"Yelüertu is still lucky!" After reading the note, Shen Haolin put it back into the bamboo tube and handed it to Shen Cha, "I don't know who is behind this. The water in Liao Kingdom is getting deeper and deeper. Bottomed out.”
