Chapter 438: Lu, the ninth child in the family
He sent people to surround the inn and take Lu Li to the government office.
"By order of the prefect, this girl is involved in a murder case. She must immediately accompany us to the government office to be questioned and investigated. You must prepare quickly and not delay, lest you bring trouble upon yourself." The bailiff glared at Lu Li fiercely.
When they heard that Lu Li was involved in a murder case, the way people looked at her suddenly changed.
"Nonsense, how could my sister be involved in a murder case!" Lu Can was the first to explode when he heard his sister being slandered.
Lu Li sneered. Li Shouzheng's excuse was really lame.
Isn't it just to find an excuse to take her over and give her a lecture?
If she were just an ordinary woman, she would probably be scared and crying right now.
Being involved in a murder case, her reputation will definitely be damaged. Even if she is innocent, people will only think that she is someone who has been in prison.
"Are you refusing to cooperate with the investigation?" The bailiff ignored Lu Can and just stared at Lu Li.
The prefect said that all we need to do is take the girl back with us.
"Okay, I'll go with you. I want to see what Li Shouzheng is up to." Lu Li raised the corners of his lips in disdain.
She wanted to teach her a lesson, she wanted to let him know how to write the word "regret".
"How dare you! You actually call me by my name?" The bailiff drew his sword and pointed it at Lu Li.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, his hand shook and the knife fell to the ground.
"I don't like people pointing knives at me." Lu Li stopped smiling.
"Don't mention his name Li Shouzheng, I would even call him by his father Li Zong's name."
The bailiffs were shocked. What a courageous girl this was.
This bold action left them unable to react for a moment and they didn't know what to do next.
"Didn't Li Shouzheng want to see me? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave." Lu Li whistled.
Her little red horse ran over and rubbed Lu Li's face affectionately.
This is the child Xiaohong gave birth to, Xiaohongdou.
After all, Xiaohong is fifteen years old and has entered old age, while her child, Xiaohongdou, is only five years old this year and is still strong and healthy.
So Lu Li brought it with him on this incognito visit.
"Ninth sister, I'll go with you." Lu Can suddenly became anxious.
"No need. I'll be back as soon as I beat Li Shouzheng in the face, and then we'll go eat some fried meat together." Lu Li jumped on the horse swiftly and looked at the stunned yamen runners who were standing there in a daze.
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to come back for lunch."
After saying this, he rode his horse towards the prefectural government office.
The bailiffs were completely dumbfounded; they had never seen such an arrogant criminal.
Anyone who goes to the prefectural government office would be trembling with fear and look pale, but this girl is so arrogant.
Is this ignorance and fearlessness, or just sheer stupidity?
"Boss, she's gone, what should we do?" The young yamen runner shook his head.
"What else can we do? Chase him!" The bailiff quickly ran after Lu Li.
"Stop, stop right there!"
A line of yamen runners ran out of breath.
Lu Xuan laughed: "They look even better than monkey shows."
After saying this, he smacked his lips regretfully.
"It's a pity that they came so suddenly that I didn't even have time to prepare the melon seeds."
Everyone was completely amused by his words.
Feng Qi touched his head and said, "Come on, I'll get you some melon seeds, and we'll go to the government gate to watch the show."
"Okay, okay." Lu Xuan nodded happily.
Fengqi's proposal really won his heart.
"That makes sense. Let's go too." Lu Can also felt that he should go and see how Ninth Sister slapped Li Shouzheng in the face.
At Fengqi's suggestion, they all put melon seeds in their pockets and walked towards the prefectural government office.
The common people were somewhat curious, thinking that since the law does not punish the masses, and since Lu Can and his group had gone, it would be okay for them to follow them.
So they followed one after another, all wanting to see the show.
…
Lu Li was riding a horse, so naturally he was faster than anyone else.
As she approached the gate, she was stopped.
"Who are you? How dare you enter the government office without permission?"
"Didn't you say Li Shouzheng wanted to see me? Where is he?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"How dare you call your Excellency by his name!" The officer guarding outside the door was furious.
Lu Li rolled her eyes: "Why are you saying that again? Can't you be a little more fresh?"
She shouted at Li Shouzheng in the government office: "Li Shouzheng, I'm here. What do you want to judge? Tell me, which murder case am I related to?"
Li Shouzheng said angrily, "Bring her in to me."
At this time, the yamen runners who were chasing Lu Li finally arrived.
They brought Lu Li in breathlessly.
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel when you see me?" Li Shouzheng slammed the hall wood and looked at her angrily.
"I kneel to you? Are you worthy of that?" Lu Li's provocative tone almost made him faint.
Fortunately, he has not completely lost his mind.
He didn't find out Lu Li's identity, and she was so arrogant, so she must have an extraordinary background. It was better not to take action for the time being.
"Little girl, tell me your name. Where are you from? Why are you so arrogant? I don't know if your father and brothers have achieved fame and success. They are really incompetent to teach you to be so reckless." He stared at Lu Li with a gloomy face.
"What's the matter? You want to arrest my father and brother and bring them together to hold them accountable?" Lu Li laughed.
"If you disrespect me again, I will naturally call them here. A daughter like you who does not know the rules and virtues of a woman should be locked up in the family temple." Li Shouzheng's face was almost twisted by Lu Li's anger.
He was so angry that not only was she not afraid, she laughed out loud.
This is too much.
"This girl is so bold that she dares to offend the prefect."
"That's right. If it were me, I would have peed my pants out of fear."
When the common people who came to watch the play saw this scene, two of their three souls were frightened away.
They had never seen anyone dare to treat the prefect like this.
"That's nothing. He's lucky that my sister didn't beat him." Lu Can responded disdainfully while cracking melon seeds.
Lu Xuan obediently reached out to catch the melon seed shells he spat out, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, my sister looks really good when she slaps people."
The onlookers silently stepped back several steps.
It seems that everyone in this family is sick.
At this moment, a royal messenger riding a tall horse appeared.
"Where is Li Shouzheng, the prefect of Yunzhong City? Why don't you come out quickly to receive the order?"
Li Shouzheng, who was making eye contact with Lu Li, was stunned when he heard this.
Is there someone coming from the capital?
Why did the emperor suddenly give him an order?
What happened?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Lu Li looked at him with a smile: "You asked me who I am and where I come from. I'll tell you now, my last name is Lu, and I'm the ninth child in my family. People call me Miss Nine. What a coincidence, just when you wanted to see my father, he sent someone to come."
Li Shouzheng was stunned, the person who came was actually a royal messenger.
The messenger sent...
The color on his face disappeared instantly, and the key words he had just heard suddenly flashed through his mind.
His surname is Lu and he is the ninth child in the family.
Oh my God, the person in front of me is not the Ninth Miss at all, she is clearly the Ninth Princess in the legend, now the Crown Princess of Daxia!
