Lu Yanzhou suppressed his anger and gave Yue Lu a way out, but unfortunately Yue Lu did not understand Lu Yanzhou's thoughts.
Seeing that Lu Yanzhou's attitude had softened, he immediately attacked Song Yushu and began to accuse him of his crimes. "Your Highness, how can this be a misunderstanding? You don't know, he has been interrupting me while I'm working on the case! It could have been settled today, but he—"
"Yue Lu, I see that you are tired and old. It's time to let the young people do the real work." Lu Yanzhou's face was extremely ugly and he interrupted Yue Lu directly.
"I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, but the smell in this prison is strong and I am afraid that it will offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why don't I go to the main courtyard and report to you in detail?" Song Yushu changed his arrogant look in the Supervisory Council and treated Lu Yanzhou with great respect.
This really pissed Yue Lu off. He hadn't expected Song Yushu to be so two-faced! In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Song Yushu diligently led Lu Yanzhou out of the prison.
"Would it be okay for me to stay in this Supervisory Office?" Lu Yanzhou came out of the gloomy and smelly dungeon and sat in the hall. His face looked much better.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Everything is fine with me in the Supervisory Office. They all take good care of me." Song Yushu lied with his eyes open. "Especially Master Yue, he is very caring towards me."
Yue Lu, who was following behind, changed his expression when he heard this. He met Song Yushu's smiling eyes and got goosebumps.
His intuition from many years of handling cases told him that Song Yushu must be his nemesis!
"That's good." Lu Yanzhou nodded. "I haven't seen you for a long time. I came to see you today as I was passing by."
The two of them chatted like old friends in the hall of the Supervisory Council.
Jiang Shouli, Yue Lu and others could only wait obediently.
When Lu Yanzhou finally stood up and left, everyone except Song Yushu breathed a sigh of relief.
It was obvious that the prince came to the Supervisory Office on purpose to support Song Yushu. Except for Song Yushu, no one in the Supervisory Office could get a word or a glance from Lu Yanzhou.
Of course, the glare given to Yue Lu doesn’t count.
"Master Yue, I think that according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you really need to take a rest. Please leave the case of the deputy general to me." As soon as Lu Yanzhou left, Song Yushu's face changed immediately.
There was a hint of disdain in his arrogance, and he didn't take Yue Lu seriously at all.
Yue Lu pointed at Song Yushu for a long time, and was finally pulled back by his confidant.
"I really didn't realize that you are such a coward." Jiang Siyuan has a good family background, so he has a noble nature in his bones.
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Song Yushu's attitude changing so quickly.
Song Yushu snorted coldly, not caring about Jiang Siyuan's look at all. "You are not willing to go against the wind, but you know that the deputy general is very likely to be wronged, but you still can't save him. You can't even make him suffer less."
She is not someone who will hold back. As long as she is unhappy, Song Yushu will find a way to vent her anger.
"You..." Jiang Siyuan was stabbed in the heart and his face looked ugly, but in the end he still followed Song Yushu's footsteps.
The Supervisory Office was calm as water, but Prince Yu’s Mansion was about to explode.
There is no other reason, it’s just because the son of Marquis Wenchang is still in the prison of the Supervisory Council.
"What's the point of me keeping you?" Lu Zhichen smashed the cup in his hand to pieces. "It's fine if you don't come out to save people, but now you can't even find out what the eunuch said?"
Lu Zhichen's advisers knelt on the ground, trembling with fear and not daring to speak.
Song Yushu was very cunning. She always spoke in a very low voice at the end. She was protected by a master like Jiang Siyuan, so it was really difficult for them to overhear what they were saying.
Seeing that they were silent, Lu Zhichen's anger grew even stronger, and he blurted out, "If you can't find out, then kill him! You can't even kill a person?"
Li Yuwen, the chief clerk of Lu Zhichen, took a step forward. "Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable! Not to mention that Marquis Wenchang cherishes his son very much, but whoever takes action now will definitely leave something to be feared! Your Highness, please think twice!"
"Your Highness, please think twice!" The counselors below also echoed.
At this time, Lu Zhichen had regained some of his rationality. He took a deep breath and waved his hand, asking the counselors below to retreat.
"Your Highness, the eunuch wants to force us to take action. I believe that the son of Marquis Wenchang is not that stupid." Seeing that Lu Zhichen's expression had eased, Li Yuwen continued to persuade him.
Lu Zhichen's face was not so ugly anymore, but he still had a rage in his heart.
Because of the successive losses of several important officials, Lin Zong and his mother became less and less trusting of him, and they withdrew all the power in the court. Now he only had some military power in his hands.
However, maintaining an army is a very difficult task. The imperial treasury is now empty and the court has just done its best to provide flood relief. The military's supplies and funds are being reduced, and the generals under his command have all come to him to cry poor.
Fortunately, several mineral veins were found in the south, but before they could be mined, something happened to Wenchang Hou, who was on the front line. Especially today, Lu Yanzhou went to the Supervisory Office in person!
There was also a period of time when he and Song Yushu were alone together. What they talked about is unknown. How can you expect him to calm down? How can he not be anxious?
"As long as the Marquis of Wenchang's son stays in the Procuratorate, I will never be able to let go. Do you understand?" Lu Zhichen stared at Li Yuwen and gave him an ultimatum. "No matter what method you use, I will make sure he is speechless. Do you understand?"
Li Yuwen groaned inwardly, but did not dare to show it, so he had to obey the order and leave.
Prince's Mansion.
Lu Yanzhou was reviewing official documents in his study when he came across a report from a southern official who said that several new mineral veins had been discovered, but there seemed to be unidentified people hanging around some of them. He applied to the court for manpower, hoping that the mining and supervision of the mineral veins could be stepped up.
The hand that was correcting the document paused slightly. He handed the document to Xia Xingde who was standing beside him and said, "Take a look at this."
Xia Xingde took the document, looked at it carefully, and did not find any problems. When he was about to return the document to Lu Yanzhou, he suddenly had an idea.
"Today, Song Yushu said that Marquis Wenchang is serving in the frontier..." That frontier is near the several mineral veins mentioned in the official document!
Marquis Wenchang is Lin Zong's brother-in-law, which means he is under the influence of Prince Yu. Prince Yu has been very short of money recently. I heard that several generals under his command come to him every day to ask for military expenses.
"There must be something fishy going on here, you should investigate it carefully!" Lu Yanzhou felt quite happy. He had not done a good job in disaster relief and had been ridiculed by Lu Zhichen. If he could find out what was going on, he would have no good life!
The Lin Mansion will also be severely damaged!
