…
Lu Zhao stood in front of the prison and walked back and forth. The spring sun had begun to become scorching, and the light falling on his face was so dazzling that he couldn't help but squint and look at the door of the prison despite the light.
After waiting for a while, the prison door opened wide. When he looked at Lu Zhinian who was being helped and staggered out, Lu Zhao hurriedly stepped forward.
"Sanlang!"
"Father……"
When Lu Zhinian saw his father, he felt as if he had found someone to rely on. After he couldn't help but hiss, his eyes filled with mist.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Lu Zhao felt distressed, so he just patted him and said, "Get in the carriage first, and then we'll talk about it when we get back."
"Wait a minute."
Wu Kui, who was following behind, suddenly stopped him: "Lu Langling, although Lu Sanlang's matter has been cleared up for now, you can go back first, but Lu Langling still has to remind him, don't go next time." Where you should go, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."
Lu Zhao's face darkened: "You don't need to say anything!"
Wu Kui shrugged: "Xiaoguan is just kind-hearted. It's just that Lu Langling doesn't want to listen. But I still want to remind you."
"Mr. Lu Sanlang is still a criminal. Our governor thought that Lu Zhongshu was old and frail and generously compensated the Yiyang County Lord, so we temporarily agreed to let him return home. However, before the Song family case is settled, He is still under suspicion, so during this period, Mr. Lu Sanlang must go to the Privy Council every three days and is not allowed to leave the capital without permission."
"The Governor's release from prison is an act of extrajudgment. Please don't break the rules of the Lu family."
Lu Zhao's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this. Just when he was about to say something, Wu Kui cupped his hands towards him: "There are still important matters in the Privy Council, so I won't talk to Lu Langling anymore and take my leave first."
Without waiting for Lu Zhao to reply, Wu Kui turned around and left. While rubbing the armor, he placed one hand on the scabbard with a contemptuous look that made everyone in the Lu family look livid.
"These people from the Black Armored Guards are simply abominable." Lu Rong endured it again and again, but finally said angrily, "You are just a mere school lieutenant, someone who has no place on the stage, how dare you treat you so lightly!!"
Talk about official rank and background.
Who is this Wu Kui, who dares to be arrogant in front of the direct head of the Lu family? !
Lu Zhao's eyes were full of coldness: "He is hateful, but what is even more hateful is their master."
A group of mad dogs followed a despicable and vicious person, and the villain got his way and became extremely arrogant.
If Xiao Yan hadn't supported them, how dare these black armored guards do this!
Lu Zhao felt extremely humiliated and resented Xiao Yan. He was only angry that he was not killed in the suburbs of Beijing that day.
He took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, turned around and saw Lu Zhinian's face was bloodless, his lips were chapped and he looked shabby. He suppressed his anger and said, "Get in the car first and go back home."
The Lu family's carriage stopped in front of the prison. Lu Zhinian was injured after being beaten with a cane. The carriage was covered with a thick layer of soft cushions.
Only when Lu Rong helped him get into the carriage and reclined on the mat, Lu Zhinian truly felt that he had come out of prison. The rickety carriage under him made him feel uncomfortable, but compared to the dark and damp Even though he was in prison, the outside world already made him feel that everything was fine.
Lu Zhinian leaned on the cushion and adjusted his posture, and then suddenly remembered Song Mo who was captured with him. He asked aloud: "Father, where is Song Mo? Have you rescued him?"
"Do you still have time to take care of him?"
Lu Zhao's face darkened: "Why don't you ask your grandfather how he is and how the house is?"
Seeing Lu Zhinian's confused and uneasy look, Lu Zhaocai said coldly:
"Song Mo is not dead. He has served you for many years. He should have been cautious in everything, but he didn't know how to stop you from doing stupid things and caused you to get into great trouble. If not for the fact that he didn't say anything that shouldn't have been said after you were caught. , at least you still know the protector, but with your grandfather’s temper, he should have been beaten to death long ago.”
"I ordered him to be sent to Zhuangzi. There is no need to stay with you to serve him from now on." Such a slave is not worthy of staying in the Lu family!
"Father……"
Lu Zhinian opened his mouth and wanted to plead for Song Mo. He wanted to say that he was the one who wanted to go to Song Guogong's mansion that night. He was the one who burned his head and was confused by the dream. Song Mo had tried to stop him but couldn't, so he could only accompany him. Go with him.
But before he could speak, Lu Zhao had already said: "You still have time to take care of Song Mo, but do you know how much trouble you have caused this time?"
"Because of your sudden imprisonment, the Lu family suffered a complete defeat in front of the Song daughter and Xiao Yan. They still had a chance to compete, but they completely lost the opportunity. Your grandfather was humiliated, and the Lu family suffered heavy losses in trying to settle the matter. , even the Queen was reprimanded by His Majesty."
He had wanted to ask Lu Zhinian for a long time, but now he could no longer restrain himself.
"Sanlang, what on earth did you do at Song Guogong's mansion that night?"
Lu Zhinian's face turned pale: "I..."
He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.
To outsiders, that dream was extremely absurd. Even he himself could only prove the authenticity because of the abandoned yard and the dead tree he had never seen before. But if he told others, who would believe it? ? I'm afraid even his father will think he is crazy, or even regarded as a monster.
He couldn't tell his father and the Lu family whether he went to Song Guogong's mansion because he had a dream that he wanted to verify, or whether he had to tell them that he dreamed about how he betrayed Song Tangning, how he broke the engagement and had a different relationship, and how he had a strong relationship with Song Shulan. Seizing Tang Ning's belongings, giving up the position of the Lu family's patriarchal wife to a bitch of unknown origin, and even causing Song Tang Ning to become a human being and a ghost?
Seeing that he was silent, Lu Zhao looked calmly: "What are you? You are talking. Did you discover something about the Song family, or did you know something about Song Tangning? You were in a hurry to go to the Duke of Song Dynasty and you were caught carelessly. live?"
Lu Zhinian's face turned pale when he heard this. He grabbed the mattress under him and avoided Lu Zhao's eyes: "No, I was sick that night and thought Tang Ning was still in the Song family. I wanted to find Tang Ning." I would rather ask her to forgive me, but I didn’t expect to bump into someone from the Black Armored Guard..."
"Say it again?!"
Lu Zhao's eyes were full of shock, and even Lu Rong on the side looked stunned.
Even though they thought about countless possibilities, and even thought that maybe Lu Zhinian wanted to go to the Song family to do something and was accidentally caught, but they never thought that Lu Zhinian was actually doing this.
Lu Zhinian was shocked: "I just thought that if Tang Ning forgives me, the Lu family's affairs will be settled. I'm just temporarily ill and confused..."
"Snapped--"
Lu Zhao was so angry that he slapped Lu Zhinian in the face. His hands were shaking when he pointed at him: "Are you sick? I think you are sick and have lost your brain!"
