Chapter 136: Fishing in Troublesome Waters
At worst, just learn Shuyuan's usual simple and crude method.
Kill them and give them as food to the wild beasts in the deep mountains and forests, so there is no need to deal with the carcasses.
She and Sun Zhiye dealt with each other patiently, but she was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, causing the attention of the capital to be focused on the small Changhe County too early, which would not only affect Xie Yan and Shu Yuan's plans, but also affect her accumulation of foundation.
But now, there may be a rift between Lu Minghui and Sun Zhiye.
A hypocritical and cruel person.
A conceited and vicious person.
She didn't believe that Lu Minghui could remain calm after receiving the silver hairpin.
Sun Zhiye, who voluntarily surrendered, was Lu Minghui's first choice.
However, everything was peaceful and calm in Dahe Village, which was enough to prove that Sun Zhiye rejected Lu Minghui after weighing the pros and cons.
Once in power, Lu Minghui could not stand the threat posed by the silver-plated hairpin, and was also annoyed by Sun Zhiye's non-cooperation.
Still want to get a divorce and marry?
Is Sun Zhiye worthy of it?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Xie Yan's presence is not strong.
But only your feet know whether the shoes fit you or not.
She didn't need to thank Yan for holding her in his hands for fear of dropping her or holding her in his mouth for fear of melting her.
It is enough for Xie Yan to understand her, respect her, support her, appreciate her, and help her where she is unable to do so.
What Xie Yan gave her was exactly what she needed.
To be honest, it was her luck to meet Xie Yan in the time and space after she traveled through the book.
The lantern swayed in the night wind, finally unable to bear the weight and fell to the ground.
Lu Mingchao didn't even look at Sun Zhiye, but turned around and walked straight towards the alley where the county government office was located.
Sun Zhiye bent down and picked up the broken and flat lantern on the ground, then looked at the arrow that had passed through the lantern and fell to the ground.
The Lu Ming Dynasty was quite cautious. The arrows were not made of iron, but of ordinary sharpened bamboo, but they were sharpened to be extremely sharp.
Well, it can still be fatal.
At that moment, he saw genuine murderous intent in Lu Mingchao's eyes.
Sun Zhiye held the lantern and arrow tightly in his hands, his whole body filled with a chill.
It turns out that he is really no match for a hunter!
Looking around, he couldn't see where his path was going.
Sun Ji was staggering and about to fall.
Lu Mingchao didn't care about Sun Zhiye's rare confusion. When he hurried to the county government office, County Magistrate Xu had already begun to try the case.
The lobby of the county government office was brightly lit, as bright as day.
County Magistrate Xu's expression became even more gloomy.
Lu Mingchao read impatience and irritability in his expression.
Yes, it’s inevitable that workers will go crazy if they work overtime.
In particular, County Magistrate Xu had most likely understood the truth.
From a distance, when County Magistrate Xu raised his eyes and looked over, Lu Mingchao bowed and saluted.
County Magistrate Xu's eyes flashed, and he nodded subconsciously in response.
Being able to never lose in the game with Sun Zhiye is something he should be cautious about.
Not only because of the entrustment of the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Lu Mingchao is a person who deserves his attention.
County Magistrate Xu relaxed his frown and forced himself to listen to the crying of the father and daughter in the hall with some patience.
Mr. Cheng was indeed a private school teacher. He spoke in a very organized way, as if he was eager to come up and help him make a judgment.
Cheng Zhi's face was swollen, and she accused Lu Lei of seducing and coercing her with tears streaming down her face, crying out her regret and grievance.
It seems that Master Cheng's anger is real, and Cheng Zhi's grievance is also real.
Moreover, the county government officials invited a new medical examiner to verify Cheng Zhi's innocence.
At first glance, Lu Lei is indeed guilty.
But the timing was so coincidental that he had to think more about it.
Lu Dalang might have been set up to destroy Cheng Zhi's innocence. As for the deception...
Not likely!
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Xu looked at Master Cheng with a complicated and strange look in his eyes.
Are you another one seeking fame and reputation?
Lu Lei knelt in the lobby and refused to give in despite the accusations and scoldings from the Cheng family father and daughter. The absurdity in his heart was growing like wild weeds.
No wonder Chao Chao was so determined to say that Cheng Zhi would never be his lover.
It turns out that this is Cheng Zhi’s true face.
Lu Lei frowned and gave a bitter smile, the emotions hidden deep in his eyes shattered bit by bit until they disappeared completely.
"My Lord County Magistrate, please investigate clearly. Miss Cheng and I have never done anything inappropriate."
"I do not recognize the accusations of Master Cheng and Miss Cheng!"
Lu Lei kowtowed, his voice firm and indifferent.
"I don't know why Master Cheng and Miss Cheng keep saying they want to throw this basin of dirty water on me. Just because Miss Cheng once talked about marriage with me, does that mean she must have lost her virginity to me?"
"I am not the only one who is discussing marriage with Miss Cheng."
"I will never admit it, even if I don't accept it."
Cheng Zhi's crying stopped, and her beautiful eyes, filled with tears, widened into a circle, as if she was in disbelief and heartbroken.
"Lu Lang, it was you who said that as long as I give myself to you, my father would have no choice but to acknowledge this marriage. How could you turn your back on me?"
Lu Lei said sternly, "Miss Cheng, please be careful with your words."
"If it is true as you said, that you love me so much that you obey me, why did you keep seeing each other and swear an eternal oath with Zhang Sheng? Miss Cheng, don't you think this is contradictory?"
"Your Excellency, I am willing to cooperate with all inquiries and investigations."
County Magistrate Xu looked up at the sky and let out a foul breath.
It's another mess that takes a very long time to pull and we still can't find a breakthrough!
"Your Excellency, I have evidence to present."
Through the fence and the slightly empty square behind the ceremony gate, Lu Mingchao's voice sounded a little unclear due to the wind.
"Announce and thank Lady Lu to enter the hall."
There was fatigue that was hard to conceal in County Magistrate Xu's voice.
The bailiff removed the fence, and Lu Mingchao walked lightly and calmly across the bluestone path, climbed the stairs and entered the lobby.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate."
Lu Mingchao bowed his head and said, "I have solid evidence to prove that Miss Cheng has private relationships with several men. The nature of these relationships is ambiguous and involves unclear and ambiguous suspicions."
"Your Excellency, the county magistrate only needs to send an official with Miss Cheng's portrait to Wangqing Temple and Foning Temple to ask and the answer will be clear."
"Ms. Cheng has been meeting with people in secret at Wangqing Temple and the back hill of Fo Ning Temple for several years."
"The monks of Wangqing Temple and the monks of Funing Temple are not people who tell lies."
"Moreover, I accidentally learned that on the ninth day of the fifth lunar month when Miss Cheng was 15 years old, the only servant of the Cheng family went to many medical clinics in Changhe County to buy medicinal herbs. Out of curiosity, I asked for details and learned that the herbs they bought were actually abortion drugs, which was really shocking."
"That year, Mrs. Cheng had passed away, and Cheng Dalang had not yet married. The maid was nearly 50 years old. I wanted to ask, who prepared this abortion drug for?"
"Sir County Magistrate, Miss Cheng is still in her teens, and my elder brother has never had any contact with her."
"I want to sue Master Cheng and Miss Cheng for slander on behalf of my elder brother. I beg you to seek justice!"
Cheng Zhi's face turned pale, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Master Cheng's beard was shaking with anger. "You are so flattering, confusing right and wrong, and slandering others!
Lu Mingchao looked at me without blinking, "Whether you are slandering me or not, we will know it after checking!"
"My elder brother can stand the test."
"Where is the Cheng family?"
"You keep saying that my elder brother deceived you, but who can prove it?"
We share the same difficulties
