Chapter 291 Lu Guang pretending to be dizzy

After Jiang Qingyu's voice fell, everyone couldn't help being slightly startled.

There are still seven corpses that should be collected by Lu Guang?

But Lu Guang clearly only has three adult heirs!

Is it possible that this Zhengyi doctor has any illegitimate children or nephews who are also in this imperial guard?
"Jiang Qingyu! You are too deceitful!"

A dignitary couldn't help standing up and said:

"Master Lu has become like this, are you not satisfied? Do you want to humiliate him?"

"There are no other seven corpses! I think you want to freeze Master Lu to death!"

Another newly arrived dignitary was also filled with righteous indignation:
"Bandits from the northern border, this time you entered Beijing, killing a thousand imperial guards is not enough, are you going to kill another thousand court officials?"

"I heard that many generals in the Anbei Army have an unusual hobby. After winning a battle, they like to chop off the enemy's head, pile it up into a mountain, and invite their colleagues to come and watch!"

"Could it be that today, you also want to use our heads to build a mountain at the north gate?"

Jin Xian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, also snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction:

"Jiang's father and son, really harbor evil intentions!"

"Master Lu, I will help you to rest aside, don't pay attention to this person's nonsense!"

After all, he was the first to step forward and hug Lu Guang.

But the moment he touched the opponent's body, Jin Xian noticed something was wrong——

Lu Guang was trembling all over, as if he was shivering from the cold, but there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Jin Xian thought that the other party was suffering from a cold, and was about to say a few words of concern, but saw that Lu Guang's body softened, and he passed out directly in his arms!
"Master Lu, Master Lu?"

Jin Xian was startled, and hurriedly shouted to the surroundings:
"Come here, Mr. Lu has fallen ill! Hurry up and take him back to the mansion to recuperate, and find a doctor to have a look!"

next moment.

He glared at Jiang Qingyu again:
"Are you satisfied now?"

For a while, many dignitaries began to speak ill of Jiang Qingyu:
"Thieves and bandits in the northern border, if there is something wrong with Mr. Lu, you can wait for the blood letter from all the officials, so that you will not be able to enter the capital, and you will not be able to sit firmly as the son of the world!"

"Don't hurry up and apologize, and kowtow to the coffin to make amends!"

"The last time Jiang Qiushui entered the capital, he drew his sword and cut off Lord Chai's arm in the court hall, which stained the golden palace with blood. All the palaces of the city's dignitaries are covered with silk!"

"Jiang's father and son are all big robbers who steal the country. Every time they enter the capital, there will be a bloody storm, making the whole capital uneasy! It means that His Majesty is too kind, otherwise the Jiang family would have been exterminated long ago!"

"When my son's body is found, I will go back and draft a memorial to advise His Majesty not to keep tigers as trouble!"

……

Jiang Qingyu stood on the carriage, looked at the officials coldly, there was no trace of panic on her face, but full of thick banter.

The rest may not be clear, but his heart is like a mirror.

What kind of frostbite did Lu Guang fall ill? He clearly heard what he meant and was at a loss, so he pretended to be dizzy and wanted to escape in this way!
Beside him, Jiang Shan, who was acting as a coachman, couldn't help sighing when he saw this:
"Before entering the capital, he attracted the hatred of hundreds of officials. This is exactly the same between the young master and the prince."

"I remember that when the prince led the army to defeat Ketucha and captured Youzhou, when he was ordered to go to Beijing to report on his duties, he was also criticized by all the officials."

"At that time, there was another incident. There was a voice among the veterans in the court that His Majesty should order the prince to kill Ketucha and slaughter the entire Qiang people, regardless of military or civilian, male or female, old or young. They are all sentenced to death to avoid future troubles! Then move 50 people from the Central Plains, and in less than 20 years, Youzhou will be completely rebuilt, and it will be completely incorporated into the territory of our Chu Kingdom, and will never rebel!"

"But in that case, the prince who is the executioner will be dubbed 'human slaughter'!"

Jiang Qingyu sneered.

Fighting swords on the battlefield, killing more people will only attract praise, but once the butcher knife is extended to innocent people, even if they are of a foreign race, they will be despised and left a bad name in the history books!
If his father had done this at the time, not to mention how much he would have paid for massacring the entire Qiang people, his own reputation would have been damaged, and his reputation among the people would have declined. He brought the disaster of killing himself and destroying his family!
"These veterans have spent most of their lives cherishing their reputation the most. They are unwilling to do something like slaughtering the people, so they want to dirty my father's hands. It's ridiculous!"

"I've also heard about it."

"Hundred officials blocked the entrance of the Golden Palace and refused to let the father enter the palace. Several old immortals led the officials to chatter and made a lot of noise. The father felt that it was noisy, so he pulled out his sword and chopped off a piece of Chai Xin, who was the doctor of the Taizhong at that time. arm!"

"All the officials were frightened, and the imperial guards stepped forward and surrounded the father. At this moment, His Majesty walked out of the golden palace, took the sword from the father's hand and threw it on the ground, and then hugged the father's body. Walked out with shoulders, went to the courtyard of the imperial garden to cook wine and play chess, completely ignoring the veteran ministers, hundreds of officials, and Lord Chai Xin who lost an arm during the whole process!"

Jiang Shan nodded slightly:

"Your Majesty does love the prince very much, and this is what makes all the officials jealous."

Jiang Qingyu chuckled lightly:
"However, half a month after my father left Beijing, Jing Hong drew up another imperial edict ordering Chai Xin to go north to Youzhou to take up the position of governor!"

"As soon as the governor was seated, he has been sitting until now!"

"It can be seen from this that our Majesty still has a lot of fear of his father, otherwise he would not have embedded such a nail in Youzhou early!"

"..."

Jiang Shan remained silent.

Chai Xin is not the only one who has driven Jing Hong into the northern border?
In the past two decades, Jing Hongming has stuffed no less than 30 people in the official circles of the northern border and the middle and high-level personnel of the military department!
Most of them were stuffed in through the hands of the Jiang family in Yongzhou, in an attempt to support the second son of the palace, Jiang Qingjian, to inherit the throne.

But this group of people never expected that the position of the last son would be snatched away by Jiang Qingyu, the fourth son who has always been underestimated by others, not to mention that Jing Hong seemed to have seen that this son was hiding his clumsiness. , unexpectedly drew up the imperial decree early, and selected the other party in advance to be the heir of the Prince of Rejecting the North!
"I can't figure out the attitude of our Majesty anyway."

Jiang Shan sighed in an inaudible voice:
"He drew up the imperial decree in advance, so he should have some expectations for the young master, but now when we entered the capital, there was such a commotion, I don't know if he just wanted to test one or two, or he was trying to make things difficult, and he wanted to find an excuse. Fan!"

Jiang Qingyu didn't respond.

Because at this moment, Lu Guang, the doctor who "fainted", had already walked into the north gate with the support of Jin Xian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and several handymen, and seemed to be going back to the mansion immediately to rest.

"Master Jin!"

Jiang Qingyu suddenly called out to stop Jin Xian:

"Why bring Mr. Lu back to the mansion? There are hundreds of officials here, is it possible that none of them is proficient in medicine?"

"You take Mr. Lu back. The journey is bumpy. What if the condition worsens? Why don't you find an adult with excellent medical skills to make a diagnosis on the spot and inform everyone about the situation, so that we can feel at ease as soon as possible!"

"otherwise……"

"Master Lu left like this, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

"you……"

Jin Xian turned his head, with a face full of anger:

"Jiang Qingyu, are you afraid that Mr. Lu's condition is not serious, which will make you unhappy?"

"Okay, I will find someone to make a diagnosis, and let the world see what unconscionable things you have done!"

His gaze swept around among the dignitaries, and finally settled on an old and crooked official:
"Lord Luo!"

"You used to be an imperial doctor in the palace for 30 years. You have rejuvenated your hands and are highly respected. I will let you diagnose Master Lu!"

The veteran surnamed Luo coughed twice and nodded:
"The old man would be more respectful than obedient."

After all, with the support of two young maidservants, he walked up to several people step by step, and stretched out a hand to feel Lu Guang's pulse.

"How? Master Luo, is my husband seriously ill?"

Lu Guang's wife asked anxiously from the side.

The veteran surnamed Luo frowned slightly, and did not give an answer immediately.

Based on his many years of medical experience, it is not difficult to see that Lu Guang's health is fine, at most, he was infected with a cold, his feet were frostbitten, and he was overworked, so his body was a little weak.

But judging from the pulse condition, he shouldn't faint!
Because Lu Guang's pulse was not very stable, but rather rapid, as if he was very nervous.

Suddenly, the old minister surnamed Luo felt Lu Guang's arm raised silently again, as if reminding himself not to expose it!
"Master Lu..."

"I'm pretending to be dizzy!"

The veteran surnamed Luo immediately gave his own judgment in his heart:

"But why did he pretend to be dizzy?"

"Could it be that you were frightened by the words of rejecting the Prince of the North?"

"Just now that person said that there are still seven corpses that Mr. Lu needs to collect, but Mr. Lu clearly only has three adult heirs..."

"wrong!"

The old official surnamed Luo seemed to have thought of something, couldn't help but glanced at the densely packed corpses on the horse's back, and trembled all over his body.

In addition to the corpses of a thousand imperial guards, Jiang Qingyu also brought back more than 1000 corpses of men in black!
So, what he's implying is...

"But we have clearly destroyed the appearance of those servants, making it difficult to identify them. How did this son find out that seven of them were sent by Mr. Lu in such a short period of time?"

"Could it be that his hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he has figured out all the identities of these thousands of men in black?"

Thinking of this, the old official surnamed Luo was so frightened that cold sweat broke out down his back.

In this matter, he was just a low-level character. He died as a young son of a concubine, and an old servant of the acquired seventh rank. Compared with other officials, the weight of this nomination certificate was much lighter.

However, after hearing the news of his son's death this morning, a concubine made a fuss for a long time, which annoyed him very much. If he didn't cherish his reputation and needed this woman to mourn in front of others to win sympathy, he would have given a letter of divorce to her husband immediately. The old and colorless woman was kicked out of the house.

"Things have changed! Even Mr. Lu wants to pretend to be dizzy and get away. I, a young man with an official rank of no more than seventh rank, should stop meddling. Hurry up and find an opportunity to get out together!"

The old minister surnamed Luo glanced at Lu Guang who was pretending to be dizzy, and immediately thought about it.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyu said coldly:

"Lord Luo, after you have been on the pulse for so long, it's time to find out about Lord Lu's situation, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone focused their attention on the old man surnamed Luo.

The old minister surnamed Luo glanced around and showed a relaxed smile at the same time:

"My lords, don't worry. Master Lu's illness is not serious. It's just that the cold air entered his body and he was overworked, so he couldn't help but fainted. As long as the old man takes him to the medical center to rest for a few hours, and then cook a few bowls of medicine for recuperation." , it will be back to normal within three days!"

After that, he shouted again:
"Come here, help Mr. Lu, and take him to the old man's clinic. The old man will go and get the medicine for him to cook!"

As soon as the words fell, several handymen stepped forward to help.

But Jiang Qingyu, who had already seen through everything, was not ready to let the two go easily.

I saw the son of the King of the North sneered, and stopped the group of people:

"Lord Luo, don't rush to leave, I still have a gift for Lord Lu!"

"..."

When the old minister surnamed Luo heard the words, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

On the side, Jin Xian couldn't help but cursed:

"Jiang Qingyu, what tricks are you up to?"

"It's already this time, are you still trying to delay time and aggravate Mr. Lu's condition?"

"What gift? I think you must have no good intentions!"

The rest of the dignitaries also looked dissatisfied and glared at Jiang Qingyu, as if asking for an explanation.

"Ha ha."

"This gift is very special."

Jiang Qingyu smiled jokingly and raised her hand at the same time.

next moment.

A few soldiers of the Anbei Army walked up to several war horses, dug out the corpses of seven men in black from a pile of corpses, and placed them one by one outside the north gate.

The crowd of dignitaries watched this scene, and many of them were very vigilant, as if they had guessed something, they couldn't help but feel tense.

But some people don't think so.

Even though they knew well that the real identity of these men in black were servants of their own family, once the truth was revealed, it would bring them a lot of trouble, and even lead to death!
But this group of people had already been disfigured before they left the capital, even if Jiang Qingyu had any doubts, as long as she refused to admit it, she would be dead without proof!

"What do you mean?"

"His Royal Highness brought out the corpse of the assassin, did he want to insult the corpse, so that the world can see the fate of offending you Jiang and his son?"

A dignitary snorted coldly.

Jiang Qingyu shook her head:
"Do not."

"I just want to seek justice for Master Lu's three dead sons."

He chuckled, looked at Lu Guang's anxious and angry wife, and asked:

"Dare to ask Madam, has there been a missing servant from Mr. Lu's residence recently?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Guang, who should have fainted and was being supported by Jin Xian and the old minister surnamed Luo, trembled all over, turned his back to Jiang Qingyu, and secretly gave his wife a look that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words.

It's a pity that the woman who knew nothing about the truth didn't understand it, but just snorted coldly and angrily said:
"His Royal Highness, what are you talking about?"

"My Lu Mansion only occupies an area of ​​one mu, and it's not a deep palace compound. How could any servant get lost?"

"Is it?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly, very satisfied with this answer.

The next moment, I saw him smiling again and making a request:
"Then can you ask Madam to invite seven people from the house named Lu Laoliu, Lu Fei, Niuhu, Niujiu, Wang Chuan, Li Xiaoshan, and Li Laogui to the north gate, and let me ask a few questions? "

"of course can!"

The woman agreed without thinking, but just as she said the words, she immediately realized something was wrong, and her expression froze.

It seemed that since three or four days ago, she hadn't seen the seven people Jiang Qingyu was talking about at the house!
Seven people, seven people...

At this moment, she saw the corpses of the seven men in black who had been placed on the ground by Anbei's army. She seemed to understand something and broke out in a cold sweat!

"No, no?"

She was too scared to say a word.

at the same time.

Seeing this, Lu Guang knew that he couldn't pretend anymore. In desperation, he could only open his eyes and sigh softly:
"Ma'am, have you forgotten?"

"Lu Laoliu and the others went back to the countryside to visit relatives a few days ago!"
