Chapter 87 The truth! Everything was foreshadowed

He Zhaojun took the horn comb out of the box and showed it to the Lou family: "This is a gift that Ayao gave me a few days ago. Ayao, where did you find it?"

Lou Yao finally realized something was wrong: "I found it from...from the gift my brother gave to my sister-in-law."

He Yong snatched it away and said, "This is a Xianbei technique. Others may not recognize it, but I have conquered the Xianbei many times, so I naturally understand it."

"And this blood ginseng. Doctor Sun has confirmed that it comes from the high mountains of Xianbei. It is extremely difficult for people in the Central Plains to find it, let alone when it reaches this quality. It can even revive the dead."

Lou Jing frowned. "Even if that's the case, it only means that he might have had some dealings with the Xianbei tribe. But I absolutely don't believe that Lou Ben could do this."

He Zhaojun glanced at him. Most of the Lou family had been schemed by Lou Ben and had almost no chance of recovery, but he had become the only hope of the Lou family. Lou Jing must have hated him at this moment, but he had to rely on him.

"He had a close personal relationship with Xu Kuo, the deputy commander of Gaoxian County. He had already arrived in Gaoxian long before this incident to plan Xu Kuo's promotion. These are some of the letters found during the house search."

Lou Jing snatched it up and read through it. Although it never mentioned anything directly, the plot was evident between the lines: "How dare you, brat?! This is truly rebellious!"

"In addition, he had already discovered a mineral vein in the northeastern part of Liaodong, on the border with Goguryeo, a year ago, and he revealed this information to the branch of the Lou family."

Lou Jing's hands were shaking with anger: "Are you saying that this was all a trap set up by him from the beginning to the end?!"

He Zhaojun nodded. "Yes, and not only that, he also informed the Xianbei of this news. So, with his instigation, the Lou family's branch began using the news of the gold rush to harass the young men in the city."

"The Xianbei were responsible for overseeing the mines, and both sides shared in the profits. In less than a year, he had amassed a fortune, but he was cautious and never spent any of it, thus concealing it from everyone."

As she spoke, she took a map from the side and had it hung up. Wang Yanji was a little surprised: "This is... He once drew the map himself, but he said the back was stained with ink and it got dirty, so he asked me to burn it. I couldn't bear to do it, so I kept it secretly."

The sun was shining brightly at that time, and the stains on the back of the silk were just cast from the capital to the Liaodong region. He even marked the two counties of Gaoxian and Wangping.

Lou Yao shook his head in disbelief. "How is that possible? How could my brother do such a thing? If this is true, if this is true, why don't you present this evidence to His Majesty?"

"It must be that none of these things can directly prove that my brother is the one manipulating everything behind the scenes!"

He Zhaojun nodded: "Ayao, you have really become smarter."

"Indeed, I haven't yet gathered any evidence that could bring Lou Ben to justice. It's been so long, and the front line hasn't reported anything."

"I think he has taken advantage of the chaos to destroy all evidence, including Zhao Duo in prison. Even if the local governor investigates again, it will be in vain."

Only then did Lou Jing realize that the Lou family's current situation was almost entirely due to Lou Ben. He gnashed his teeth in hatred and looked at the people from the second branch, wishing he could eat their flesh alive.

"Considering that this blood ginseng once saved the lives of my sister-in-law and her mother, and that A Yao and I have grown up together and has been running around for me, I will temporarily spare Mr. Lou's life. But..." He Zhaojun was silent.

Instead, He Yong snorted coldly: "He'd better never leave the Lou family, otherwise, I will definitely make him pay for the lives of my two sons!"

He Zhaojun glanced at Lou Yao, who was still in shock and unable to recover.

I can’t imagine why my brother would do such a thing. After all, what good would it do him?

No, impossible!
