Chapter 635 Southern Dynasty Assassin
"Hmph, this is absolutely ridiculous!" Zhou Chenghe acted like a victim. "If you want to save your Miss Du, then go find the clues yourself. Why are you trying to embarrass our Miss? Do you think that if you kill our Miss, Miss Du will be saved?"
"Then I have to ask Master Zhou as well." Lu Yunjue's eyes were sharp. "Doesn't Miss Zhou have any shame herself? Why does she have to take Miss Du's face?"
He said quickly, "If you still have any conscience, you should hand Miss Du over!"
When he was dealing with Zhou Chenghe, he did not forget to wink at Mu Qing in secret.
Mu Qing understood and gently held Hu Xiner's arm.
Hu Xin'er pretended to be grief-stricken and fell headfirst into Mu Qing's arms, crying, "My husband, what should I do?"
In fact, she quickly sent a message to Lord Chu: "What my brother said is true. Miss Du must be imprisoned in a dungeon somewhere in the Zhou family. He went to destroy the medicine last night because he wanted to save Miss Du!"
"Prefect Shen has been colluding with the Zhou family for many years, committing all sorts of evil. Lord Chu, whether you believe me or not, please don't act rashly. Since Yun Jue has confessed his guilt, you should take him back to the yamen first."
"Yun Jue said that you are on leave now and do not have any real power, but please protect Yun Jue while you are in prison and seek help secretly."
"Miss Du's case is extremely urgent. There's no telling when the Zhou family will silence her. The Du family has lived in Qingzhou City for a hundred years and is renowned for its good reputation. Please save her!"
Lord Chu seemed to be watching the confrontation between Zhou Chenghe and others coldly, but in fact he was listening to Hu Xiner's words.
Prefect Shen seemed to sense something was wrong and called out softly, “Master Chu, what do you think?”
"Now that the matter has come to a conclusion, there is nothing more to say. Just escort the second young master back." Lord Chu said lightly.
"No, Lord Chu! My brother just did something wrong for a moment. He is still a child! How can he be put in jail?" Hu Xiner didn't know how much he believed her words. She just wanted to make a complete show, so she forced Mu Qing to cry.
Zhou Chenghe sneered, "Mrs. Lu, this is ridiculous. He's still a child. How can there be a child this old? Don't be so sad yet. You will have a huge bill waiting for you to pay later."
Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Chenghe, you're going too far. You've already crippled my brother's martial arts. What do you want to do? Do you want to bankrupt our Lu family?"
Zhou Chenghe's eyes flashed with cruelty: "I'm warning you, Master Lu, your brother's martial arts skills are only damaged by the medicine he drank, and they haven't been completely destroyed yet."
He emphasized the word "completely useless", which gave it a different meaning - he was clearly showing off!
He was warning Mu Qing that if the Lu family dared to do anything weird again, he wouldn't mind actually destroying Lu Yunjue's martial arts.
"You!" Mu Qing was really angry at this moment, and couldn't help but worry about what would happen to Lu Yunjue after he entered the cell.
Master Chu waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop arguing."
He was listless one moment, but suddenly became furious the next, shouting at Lu Yunjue, "Who are you? Why do you know so much about the Anbu? Tell me, are you an assassin sent by the Southern Dynasty?!"
Although he had an ordinary appearance, his roar at this moment was extremely intimidating. It was obvious that he had developed the absolute suppression skill from years of interrogating corrupt officials.
Not to mention that Lu Yunjue, who was stared at by him, could hardly bear it, even Prefect Shen and Zhou Chenghe almost knelt down and truthfully confessed their past crimes.
Fortunately, Lord Chu was not interrogating them.
Hu Xin'er was so scared that she pretended to faint again, but her brain was actually working rapidly. Lord Chu's words about the Southern Dynasty assassin were totally irrelevant.
What he really wanted to ask was who the Lu family was.
He had to assess the Lu family's true identity before he could choose whether to trust them.
Putting it in such a tactful way, it shows that the inference Lu Yunjue made privately to Hu Xiner and others was correct.
Although Lord Chu holds a high official position, he has no real power at hand. If Prefect Shen and others find out that he is trying to side with the Lu family, they will definitely harm him.
Although Lord Chu's martial arts skills are extremely strong, he is unable to withstand the attacks from the Zhou and Shen families. Even if he knows about the Du family's injustice, he can only wait for an opportunity to provide help.
She transmitted a message, "Lord Chu, are you trying to understand our true identities? Actually, Yun Jue is the son of the late Prime Minister Lu!"
Although Lu Yunjue was a little confused, he could guess that it was his sister-in-law and Lord Chu who were passing on the secret code, so he pretended to be panicked and explained, "Your Excellency, please understand. I am not an assassin..."
Before he could finish, Lord Chu shouted, "How are you going to prove it?!"
These words were apparently directed at Lu Yunjue, but in fact, they were directed at Hu Xiner.
Lu Yunjue, the son of the prime minister, is handsome and is known as the most beautiful man in the world. Lord Chu has heard of this name before, and when he compares it with Lu Yunjue's appearance, he can't help but believe it.
Even though Lu Yunjue felt somewhat powerless at this moment, and his face looked pale and weak, his complexion was not affected at all by the loss of his martial arts skills. Instead, he had a bit more of a sickly beauty.
Lord Chu had to admit that this was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life.
However, he could not believe Hu Xiner just because of these few casual words, but asked Hu Xiner for evidence again.
Hu Xiner and Mu Qing looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. What evidence did the Prime Minister's Mansion have?
At this moment, Prefect Shen, whose legs were weak, glanced at them quietly, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He felt that his vest was completely wet.
Southern Dynasty? Assassin? He was confused and thought about the Lu family's mysterious and secretive behavior. His eyes couldn't help but flash.
This assassin is no small matter. If he destroyed the Zhou family's medicinal materials, he would be sentenced to a few years in prison at most. But if he is an assassin, his entire family will be implicated!
After this incident, it can be seen that the Lu family is obviously on the same side as the Du family, and may also have a mysterious background. They cannot be kept. It seems like it would be a good idea to frame the Lu family as the assassin?
Zhou Cheng and Guan Hui, who were always up to no good, reacted even faster than him: "Great, you're assassins! I was wondering why you lied without thinking and always tried to hide your true intentions."
He pointed at Mu Qing and said, "Master Chu, please be wise. I see the marks on the face of the eldest son of the Lu family. They are clearly from the Southern Dynasty assassins!"
