Chapter 268: The innocent will be cleared or the innocent will be contemptuous
When Lu Qiniang arrived, the Jinyiwei who had gone to get the things had already gone back and was waiting for her at the door.
"Lord Lu asked me to take you in."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your help."
This time, Lu Qiniang finally gave the other person twenty taels of silver.
She didn't count how much she should give, but at this time, she always thought that the more gifts, the less blame there would be.
The Jinyiwei had no intention of accepting it.
As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhao Xun had a lot of "gray income" and did not care about twenty taels of silver at all.
But seeing the anxiety and expectation in Lu Qiniang's eyes, he silently accepted the banknote.
Sometimes it's like this, if you don't accept it, others will think too much, thinking that you think it's too little, that you are unwilling to help, and inadvertently offend others.
Zhao Xun thought that Lu Qiniang might have good fortune in the future, so there was no need to offend her.
If she gets up later, these twenty taels will be an opportunity to return the gift. With a few exchanges, I will gradually become familiar with her.
When Lu Qiniang saw that he accepted it, she felt happy but also a little distressed.
But, I can't take care of it.
Seeing the majestic Lu Jin in Feiyu clothing, she quickly knelt down to salute, inwardly cursing herself for being blind.
Why did I think before that such a person was just an ordinary coachman?
"Get up." Lu Jin said, "If you came to me for help because Xiao Yan was arrested, then go back."
Lu Qiniang was confused.
Before she could even open her mouth, she was blocked back.
These people are really amazing.
"Lu Er—sir," Lu Qiniang said cautiously, "Xiao Yan is innocent, really. Can you arrest me and release him in exchange? You know, in my family, my word is final."
"Do you think I can exchange one while I'm buying vegetables?" Lu Jin frowned. "Go back and remember what I said, 'The innocent will be innocent.' Don't wander around anymore, it will only make things worse. Just remember these four words, that's all."
Lu Qiniang has a kind of magical power that makes people want to give her some advice.
I know clearly that she is not smart, very stupid, and even has no sense of boundaries, but I just don't want her to get hurt like a headless fly in this cold world.
It seems that in this way, this world can retain a touch of warmth and light that prevents people from falling into despair.
Lu Jin felt that his words had been as straightforward as they could be.
He has no such patience for others.
Any gesture or look would be considered a hint from him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Qiniang slowly open her mouth, her eyes filled with clear stupidity.
"What's wrong again?" Lu Jin asked unhappily.
The emperor once asked him to recognize this sister as his godsister.
He didn't want to do that now, he was afraid that he would be killed by her stupidity.
"Master Lu, if I lighten myself, will Xiao Yan be fine? My fatness is still causing trouble?"
Those who are not careful will be careful...
She didn't understand what it meant, but she felt that emphasizing "light" twice was very important.
But is it the right time to lose weight now?
Lu Jin was almost pissed off.
"What I mean is, as long as you're innocent, don't mess around and go home and wait!"
"Oh, oh, oh." Lu Qiniang nodded vigorously, "So that's what you mean. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my weight."
"It doesn't matter!"
Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, you are still alive today and haven't been killed by her stupidity. You are really tenacious.
I also fell in love with it. It turns out you like this one?
"But you said we should do nothing at home, which is impossible!" Lu Qinniang nodded and bowed to him, "Second brother, you know I am the dumbest one. I can't find anyone to ask for help, so I can only think of you. Look, should I ask my dear uncle for help? I know he has a say in the emperor. Would this be redundant and a hindrance?"
"As for Teng Wenfu," Lu Jin said, "if you can get a say in front of him, you can give it a try."
Anyway, that old guy doesn't give me face.
It all depends on Lu Qiniang's methods.
"Okay, okay." Lu Qiniang nodded, "I'll go right away."
"where you go?"
"I—" Lu Qiniang was stunned by the question. After a while, she said, "Doesn't he have a mansion?"
"He's a eunuch, is he going to buy a mansion outside with such fanfare?"
"What should we do then?"
"You ask me?" Lu Jin laughed out of anger.
"There's no one else here, so I have to ask you, right? If you know, tell me secretly. I promise not to say it was you who told me. I'll just say that Xiao Yan told me. Is that okay with you?"
Lu Jin gave the address unhappily.
"Okay, I'll take note." Lu Qiniang said, "There's one more thing—"
Lu Jin's face was visibly unhappy.
"Just one." Lu Qinniang said, "I still have more than 9,000 taels of silver. Second brother, please help me figure out how to divide it appropriately. How much should I give to you, how much should I give to my dear uncle, and how much should I keep for saving Xiao Yan in the future. I'm stupid and don't know how much to give. After all, we are a family, so I can only ask you. Please don't be polite, give me the amount I deserve. I know the rules. You can't say that you get money for helping others but not for helping me. What will happen then?"
Lu Jin: "Hurry up and take your money and leave."
"No, second brother, I can't take advantage of you. You taught me so much—"
"Walk!"
"Oh, okay." Lu Qiniang said, "I will repay your favor in the future. It can't be helped if I'm gone, but as long as I'm here, I will definitely remember it."
Lu Jin inexplicably felt his heart soften.
Perhaps Lu Qinniang is like this: the truth is simple, and great wisdom appears foolish?
Anyway, her goal can be easily achieved by me.
Although he clearly despised her, he unknowingly helped her. He was even unwilling to accept anything from her and was moved by her generous gestures.
It's really weird.
"Also, second brother, if you have to use torture, please think about it, Xiao Yan still has to defend his country in the future--" Lu Qin's mother was about to cry.
"We are the Imperial Guards, not the ghost messengers from the Eighteen Layers of Hell." Lu Jin cursed, "Get out of here!"
"So everything's fine? That's great, that's great, second brother. May good people live a long life!" Lu Qiniang said, "I won't bother you anymore. I'll go find Uncle Teng right away. Thank you, thank you, for your great kindness. I will definitely repay you."
When she left, Zhao Xun walked in, "Sir, she—"
"She said I would live to be a hundred years old." Lu Jin smiled and shook his head, remembering his mother's blessing on his birthday before he became a lackey.
It’s a pity that it was so far away that he had forgotten it.
"She will repay you in the future," Zhao Xun said.
"If she has the ability, she probably would." Lu Jin then turned to the main topic, "How is the investigation going?"
"Your Excellency, we're still comparing gunpowder from store to store, but this gunpowder is too strong, and ordinary gunpowder is simply not enough..."
The two discussed for a long time.
Lu Qiniang had rented a carriage and arrived at Teng Wenfu's mansion.
