Chapter 629 Anbu Official
Hu Xiner naturally felt the coldness in his eyes and couldn't help but feel nervous.
This Lord Chu doesn't look like a good person. Is he really not colluding with Prefect Shen?
Moreover, Prefect Shen has such a good image on the surface, and this Lord Chu obviously believes in Prefect Shen!
So, does the Lu family really have a chance of winning?
Lu Yunjue was actually unsure about this. He didn't like to get involved in this matter before, and he had only heard of the Anbu department.
I heard that every official in the Anbu was carefully selected from good officials, and their ancestors had to have not made any mistakes in the past three generations.
However, this is just what others say. Who knows whether this is their appearance or their true nature?
With the smiling tiger prince in front and the hidden prefect Shen behind, who among the people in officialdom can be simple?
After a long moment, Lord Chu frowned and said, "You, a wicked man, have repeatedly resisted arrest by the authorities and are implicated in multiple crimes. If you weren't guilty, you wouldn't be so unreasonable!"
The hearts of the three members of the Lu family suddenly sank.
Hu Xin'er questioned, "How am I being unreasonable? It's clearly..."
Before he could finish his words, Lord Chu interrupted him. He said coldly, "Why are you, a woman, butting in on me when I'm speaking? Aren't you afraid that your unborn child will learn your sarcastic ways?"
Hu Xin'er was almost furious. How dare this Chu say such things about her? As a grown man, he used a child to slander his mother. Didn't he feel ashamed?
Lord Chu continued, "But the wonderful thing about you is that you do have some knowledge. I am indeed an official of the Anbu. Although I am on vacation now, I am also responsible for supervising all officials."
This time it was Prefect Shen's turn to feel disappointed.
It was over. He was now conspiring with the Zhou family to commit a crime behind Lord Chu's back. Lord Chu was also a skilled martial artist, and he didn't know if he had overheard what he was planning in secret.
Because he has been dealing with martial artists for many years, he knows the abilities of these martial arts masters best. His mentality at this moment is like the beat of a drum, going on and on without stopping.
Could it be that Lord Chu is trying to warn him now?
Zhou Chenghe and his two careless subordinates were thinking whether they could escape now without attracting the attention of the martial arts master, Mr. Chu.
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Could it be that this Lord Chu was sent by God to punish them because God saw that they had done too many bad things?
All the bad things he had done in the past and the mess he had not cleaned up emerged in his mind, and his eyes darkened. It seems... it is time to clean up the madman who has been staying at the city gate.
A group of people, each with their own evil intentions, Lord Chu said slowly: "A group of unruly people in the Lu Mansion are obstructing the investigation. Although Prefect Shen cares about the people, he ultimately lacks the necessary procedures."
He made the final conclusion: "In this case, we will immediately send Prefect Shen back to the government office and handle this case according to the normal procedures. The Lu family will not be detained for the time being. What does Prefect Shen think?"
Prefect Shen was already thinking about what to do with his unmarried son. He was stunned when he heard the words and came to his senses: "It's all up to you, my Lord."
Lord Chu shook his head. "Lord Shen, there's no need to be so self-deprecating. I'm just on vacation, and the suggestions I offer are just for your reference. All matters in Qingzhou City must be handled personally by you, the official in charge."
Prefect Shen's thoughts finally came back to him, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He heard what Lord Chu had just said - Lord Chu just felt that there was something wrong with his case handling process, and didn't think he had done anything wrong.
In other words, those private matters have not been discovered by Master Chu! All he needs to do now is to complete the corresponding procedures.
Hu Xin'er, a novice in the officialdom, didn't quite understand what was going on. Seeing the serious expressions on Mu Qing and the others' faces, she quietly asked, "What does this mean?"
Mu Qing had already recovered from the embarrassment of having his appearance exposed. He explained softly, "Lord Chu doesn't want to get involved in our affairs. He just asked Prefect Shen to go back and complete the paperwork. He can still arrest us directly later."
Lord Chu's words have put a conclusion to this matter.
Prefect Shen took his men away, and Zhou Chenghe glared at them fiercely.
The Lu family's doorstep finally returned to peace and quiet. The matter was resolved, but not completely.
Mu Qing said gently, "It's windy outside, let's go in first."
He escorted Hu Xin'er inside. Hu Xin'er was still worried: "Do you think Lord Shen will come to arrest us again later? If they come again and go through the formalities again, how should we respond?"
Lu Yunjue said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I think Lord Chu just has too many prejudices against us, and he is not a corrupt official. As long as we explain things clearly, he may be able to help us."
Hu Xin'er knew nothing about these official affairs, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mu Qing questioningly: "Is that so? You are not kidding me, are you? I think that Lord Chu just looked very unkind. And if he is really an honest official, why did he turn a blind eye to the suspicious behavior of Prefect Shen?"
According to Lord Chu himself, he was on vacation and therefore had no business dealings with these matters.
But how could an official on vacation come to Qingzhou for no apparent reason?
Moreover, can officials just sit back and watch civilians being unjustly killed by the government when they are on vacation?
Mu Qing smiled bitterly: "I grew up in the martial arts world. If you ask me about martial arts matters, I might know, but as for the affairs of the imperial court, you have to ask Yun Jue."
"A similar incident did happen before," Lu Yunjue thought for a moment and said, "Just a few years ago, an official from the Anbu went on vacation to his hometown of Hangzhou. After returning from vacation, he reported a local murder case to His Majesty. His Majesty ultimately sentenced him for dereliction of duty, and all his hard work was wasted. I think this Lord Chu is in his prime and would not do such a foolish thing."
"I hope so." Hu Xin'er sighed, "If we can really get Lord Chu here, we might actually be able to rescue Miss Du."
Lu Yunjue said seriously, "I've heard that the Anbu officials are deeply trusted by His Majesty. As long as we find the right time to plead our case to him, he will definitely figure out who is behind the conspiracy between Prefect Shen and us."
After receiving this news, everyone felt a little relieved, as if they finally saw a ray of light in the darkness behind them.
The servants brought breakfast. The events of the past few days had made everyone panic. Hu Xin'er suddenly asked, "By the way, how has the young lady been these days?"
