Chapter 111 His Family is About to Break Up
On the carriage back home, Lu Xinran stole a few glances at Lu Xinlan's face, and was hesitant for a long time before he opened his mouth to speak.
"Sister, aren't you curious about how I can help Master Tang?"
Lu Xinlan smiled and asked knowingly: "I'm curious, but I won't ask unless you tell me."
"I……"
Lu Xinran opened his mouth and tried several times but couldn't say that he had a melon-eating system.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xinlan understood.
It was really an overbearing constraint. They couldn't mention that they could eavesdrop on other people's thoughts, and she couldn't mention that she had a melon-eating system.
She just smiled and looked out the window: "Grandma is still waiting for news from us."
Lu Xinran responded subconsciously, still struggling with why he couldn't say that he owned a system.
She wanted to trust the people around her and share her secrets with them, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the words out.
Until the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, she still couldn't figure out what went wrong.
After the morning court session, Lu Jinchuan returned home immediately, ready to get the edict from Lu Xinlan and go to see the emperor.
As a result, when he returned to the mansion, he found that the two sisters had already left the house and went to Tang Quyan's house. His instructions before leaving seemed like a joke.
With a gloomy face, he wanted to go to Pei to argue, but he was beaten out before he could even enter Zhaoyun Courtyard.
Pei stood in the courtyard and looked at him coldly: "After so many years, your methods are still so despicable and disgusting."
"Who am I doing this for?"
Zhao Kaiyan is in the Ministry of Personnel. Once his fraud is proven, he will definitely be sent to prison.
By then, his position as Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel would be vacant, so why not take the opportunity to recruit Lu Kangping?
He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Everyone in the capital city behaved in the same way.
Pei only sneered, and after a long while she replied, "Who knows? The old man has been planning for those two bastards for half his life. What you are thinking... I am too lazy to guess, and I don't want to know."
The word "bastard" made Lu Jinchuan feel like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he instantly became anxious.
"you……"
"What did I say? What did I say wrong? You should call Wang and Jin over so that I can ask them carefully."
Whenever Pei faced him, she would burst out with amazing fighting power. She felt disgusted when she thought that she had spent most of her life with such a thing.
"Get lost, don't show up in front of me again, don't let me keep thinking about how I spent most of my life on trash like you!
"Otherwise, don't blame me for going to the Queen Mother and begging her to help me get a divorce."
Lu Jinchuan was filled with resentment, especially because Pei did not give him face in front of so many servants. He was so angry that his eyes went dark.
“It’s unreasonable!”
He left after saying these four words, flicking his sleeves.
Pei spat in disgust, what bad luck!
He couldn't get the booklet from Lu Xinlan, and the emperor was pressing him. He couldn't find a shortcut, so he could only go back to the Ministry of Justice and ask his men to recall the clues.
As soon as the two sisters got off the carriage, they saw Lu Jinchuan striding out of the mansion with smoke coming out of his head.
When he saw the two of them, his eyes were filled with gloom and he snorted coldly, then he took the servant's arm and got into the carriage.
Lu Xinran was flipping through the booklet quickly, and when he saw that he had returned home to snatch the two booklets, he subconsciously made a "Puh" sound.
[How shameless! After receiving the task, he didn't think of finding clues and was determined to take shortcuts. ]
[If you really want to seek justice for the Yun family, why don't you take the initiative to contact them and promise to help them seek justice. ]
[They don’t want to pay anything, but they are more active than anyone else in grabbing the benefits that are already available. ]
[If you can't keep the position of Minister of Justice stable, then find someone else to take it. Don't be so eager to act like you are doing this for your own good.]
The carriage rolled forward, and Lu Jinchuan sat in it, hearing every word of the cursing.
The anger in his chest became even more intense. If it weren't for her grandfather who was a minister, did she think she could live peacefully until now? !
Who doesn't know how to be grateful?
As soon as the two entered the mansion, they heard from the servants what had just happened.
"Grandma is amazing!"
Lu Xinran sighed sincerely. Although she dared to complain about anything in her heart, she would be scared if she was confronted in person...
When will she have the courage and confidence like her grandmother?
Tang Quyan got the booklet and collected evidence very quickly based on the records in it.
In just three days, all the evidence of Zhao Kaile's crimes was sorted out, and Zhao Jingtian's charges were also sorted out.
He handed the two booklets, along with the organized evidence, to the emperor at the morning court session.
Zhao Jingtian has been trembling with fear these days, trying his best to find someone to plead for him.
However, he was not allowed to enter the Prince of Yu's Palace several times, and some court officials who were close to him in the past also turned him away.
He already had a bad feeling in his heart, and when he saw that Tang Quyan had actually found out all the people he had covered up for Zhao Kaile all these years and reported them to the emperor, he could no longer hold on and fainted.
Tang Quyan took a shortcut and completed the task very quickly.
Lu Jinchuan, who also received the assignment, felt the pressure was like a mountain, so great that he could hardly breathe.
Until this point he had not found the key evidence of Zhao Kaiyan's fraud.
Lu Xinran also said in his heart that this matter was a secret plot between Zhao Jingtian and the Minister of Rites, and almost no one knew about it.
No one knows, where can we find evidence?
Lu Jinchuan was anxious. At this point, he had no time to think about Zhao Kaiyan's position. He just wanted to resolve this matter smoothly.
After the morning court was over, he knelt in the Wenhua Hall with his brows lowered.
"I am incompetent and cannot find any evidence."
Up to now, the father and son of the Zhao family have not been detained, and it is impossible to torture them. No clues can be obtained from Zhao Jingtian, and there can be no progress in the case of cheating in the imperial examination.
The Minister of Rites was always cautious in his actions, and many years had passed since then, so even if there was evidence of guilt, it would have long since disappeared.
Lu Jinchuan knelt on the ground, completely disregarding his last bit of face.
The emperor held the tea bowl and took a sip.
"No evidence? Doesn't your granddaughter know everything?"
As long as Lu Xinran is brought to the side of Zhao Jingtian and his son, clues can always be found.
When Lu Jinchuan heard the emperor talk about Lu Xinran, his face turned pale.
His granddaughter always mocked him whenever she saw him. She even planned for his funeral. It was extremely difficult to get her help.
The emperor looked at him with a half-smile, "Lord Lu, you should take care of your household affairs as soon as possible."
Lu Jinchuan: “…”
Doesn't he want to take care of the housework? !
That system...is about to break his family apart.
He closed his eyes and lay on the ground, his voice extremely weak.
"I am incompetent."
