Chapter 80 Royal Scandal
The people in the carriage, except for Chi Ning, Cui Yixuan and Si Hongming who were sleeping, seemed to find a vent and complained about Lu Jiuqing.

In the midst of all this confusion, Si Hongming voiced his disagreement.

"If Mr. Lu is really a fatuous person who is only obsessed with debauchery, how could he stand out among the children of the humble family back then, and later on, the Holy One made an exception and named him a prince with a different surname."

The abuse of several people stopped, and Chi Ning smelled gossip. "Mr. Si, don't you know that Lu Jiuqing was demoted because of other secrets?"

"Impossible." Si Jingshu said: "When I was in the capital, I never heard anyone say that he was demoted for other reasons."

Where there are many women, there will be a lot of gossip, and she likes to join in the gossip, but she has never heard that Lu Jiuqing was demoted for other reasons.

Si Hongming stroked his beard again and again, "The old man heard about a royal scandal two years ago, which involved the younger brother of the current emperor. One hundred and eight members of King Qi's family were exterminated, and they only lived to be six years old." Little doll tragedy."

"Who is the murderer?" Chi Ning vaguely guessed something.

Si Hongming said: "Miss Chi has already guessed."

"Why? Why did he do this?" Si Jingshu was puzzled.

Thinking of his family being wrongfully exiled, Si Rongbang couldn't help but say, "Isn't this another unjust, false and wrongly decided case?"

Even though Chen Chiyan was well-informed, he was also surprised by this unheard-of thing. "King Qi is the emperor's direct younger brother. Isn't it too cheap for Lu Jiuqing to be demoted to Yundu like this? It stands to reason that he should be punished by the nine clans!"

Si Hongming smiled dismissively, as if he was mocking Chen Chiyan's words, or the whole story of this scandalous case. "There was only one Lu Jiuqing left in this Lu family more than ten years ago, so there is no other family to punish."

"Ah, Dad, do you know why he wanted to kill King Qi's family? If you know, tell me!" Si Jingshu scratched her heart and lungs curiously.

Chi Ning changed her other hand to hold Cui Yixuan who was still sleeping, and waited quietly for the next sentence.

Several people calmed down a little before Si Hongming said: "Back then, King Qi's house was massacred, leaving only a six-year-old baby. When the Holy Majesty learned of this, he was furious and ordered His Highness, His Highness Fifth, and Young Master Cui Let’s solve the case together.”

"The three found out step by step from the mouth of a six-year-old baby that the prince with a different surname was proclaimed by the Holy Majesty. Lu Jiuqing took the lead, and then dug up another shocking scandal."

There was a trace of anger in Si Hongming's hoarse voice.

"More than ten years ago, Prince Qi's son went on a trip and temporarily stayed in a villa for the night. He had no objection to the eldest girl of the villa. He wanted to accept her as a good concubine because he was greedy for her beauty."

"This eldest girl has a marriage contract, and she is unwilling to leave the cabinet in half a month. Seeing that the concubine was unsuccessful, the son of King Qi killed the eldest girl and her accompanying mother by mistake. To cover up the charges, the beast ordered people to burn the villa, and only one six-year-old boy who happened to sneak out of the Lu family was left in one hundred and eight people."

"This little baby became a little beggar since he was a young master. He disappeared after he had nowhere to ask. It was not until many years later that he became famous in the scientific examination. It was brutally wiped out."

Suddenly, Chi Ning felt that the air in the carriage became thinner. After the little baby had been begging for help countless times, she made up her mind to keep a low profile, and came to the enemy step by step, making decisions for herself in her own way, avenging the dead relatives .

"Woo~" Si Jingshu's grief came from her heart, she completely forgot how she scolded Lu Jiuqing just now. "If this is true, then he is too pitiful."

Si Rongbang couldn't help being angry, "It's really shameful for officials to protect each other!"

Chen Chiyan changed his attitude towards Lu Jiuqing's dissatisfaction, "What happened later? Even if he had other reasons for killing King Qi's family, it is impossible for the emperor to let him go so easily."

No matter how absurd the King Qi family is, they still bear the name of the emperor's direct brother on their heads!
Si Hongming continued: "I heard that the Holy Majesty wanted to execute this prince with a different surname in secret, but it just so happened that whoever reported the case of the killing of Prince Qi's family, caused panic for a while."

"His Royal Highness and Young Master Cui wrote a letter. In order not to let the sage get stigmatized by this matter, and for the sake of the reputation of the Qi Wang family, they wrote a letter saying that the Qi Wang family died of a sudden illness, and the prince with a different surname was greedy for the Duke's wife. Beauty is a crime to cover up this scandal."

"Then Mrs. Guo is willing to do it? Does the Duke's Mansion have any objections?" Chi Ning caught the key point.

Si Jingshu exclaimed, "I heard that Mrs. Guo's death was due to the theft of personal belongings before she committed suicide. Could it be that there is another reason for this?"

Si Hongming said: "This is another scandal. The Duke's wife did not commit suicide, but fell in love with a domestic actor. They both slipped and fell into the water and drowned on the way to elope. It happened to coincide with the destruction of King Qi's family. Naturally, the government couldn't find any reason to cover up the fact that the mistress had eloped with the actor.

This Lu Jiuqing was able to save his life, but his body has been broken since then. "

Chi Ning thought of Lu Jiuqing's disheveled appearance, "Is it because he was tortured in the prison interrogation room, that's why his body broke?"

"That's right." Si Hongming nodded, "His Royal Highness is cruel by nature, and he loves to pump out living human bones. It is estimated that Lu Jiuqing can live to Yundu, and His Highness Fifth and Young Master Cui are more or less helping in secret."

Compared to Lu Jiuqing who was demoted for stealing the princess's personal belongings, Si Jingshu was more inclined to the other secret that her father said, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes uncomfortably, feeling sorry for Lu Jiuqing.

"I, I, I will never call him a libertine anymore. If the emperor did not act, if he had been wronged more than ten years ago, he would not have to spend his whole life to take revenge!"

Chen Chiyan felt uncomfortable and at the same time admired Lu Jiuqing very much, "It's really admirable to slaughter all the idiots for revenge. It is the imperial court's loss for such people to be demoted!"

Based on the time when Lu Jiuqing was demoted to Yundu, Si Rongbang thought of another thing, "No wonder His Royal Highness was awarded the title for no merit that year, His Highness Fifth was grounded because of a wrong wording in an article, and Mr. Cui was even more humble because he didn't take care of him." The person who was punished was punished with eighty boards. Presumably, the emperor guessed that Lu Jiuqing died on the winding road, and punished the two under the pretext."

"Shut up, the trouble comes out of your mouth, don't you understand?" Si Hongming twisted his son's ear.

Si Rongbang frowned in pain, and didn't dare to say another word. It was obviously the old father who started it, but in the end he only taught him a lesson.

For a while, there was silence in the carriage, only a few sighs remained.

Some of Chi Ning's incomprehensible points were sorted out clearly now, no wonder the two of them knew each other well, no wonder Lu Jiuqing was willing to help Cui Xingjue.

It's a life-and-death friendship, can you not help?

But isn't that person helping too much?

More than 30 catties of paper, this is a trap!
Looking around at the expressions on everyone's faces, she realized for the first time that everyone here is real and has their own version of the story!

Whether it is Cui Xingjue, who was exiled on the charge of being a traitor, Si Hongming, who was unjustly embezzled and embezzled relief food for the victims, or Lu Jiuqing, who was demoted to Yundu to avenge his family, they are all flesh and blood, living people, not pieces of paper. People are so simple!
She is not dreaming, nor is she simply transmigrating into the book. They are not supporting characters or tool people to advance the plot of the novel.

They have their stories, they have their sufferings, and they have their paths!
Chi Ning found that she could no longer be a spectator, and look at these people from the perspective of God!
