The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 103 'Surprise'!
"Master Yan, this is a family matter of the Lu family. The hands of the Imperial City Secretary are really long." Li Haochuan seemed to be looking for an outlet.

Xie Zhiyan looked at him: "My eldest prince, officials accepting bribes, knowing the law and breaking the law are major crimes for our government, and they will be dealt with severely. It's time for you to return to your clan and study hard."

"You!" Li Haochuan's face turned livid with anger.

"What's wrong with me? Which of the things the minister said is wrong? Or do you want to protect the eldest prince in public? Marquis Lu, who has no real power, what is the purpose of the dignified eldest prince personally going to defend his little concubine?"

Lu Shanyuan, who has no real power at all: "...!"

Li Haochuan glared angrily and was about to open his mouth...

"Oh, I understand. The eldest prince came to force Miss Lu to marry Xie Huaiyu in the name of the noble concubine, right? You mother and son have really long hands, and you don't even care about the emperor's imperial edict."

Xie Zhiyan glanced at those present: "Of all the nobles in the capital, who of you who agrees with the eldest prince's actions can stand up and let me take a look?"

All the noble people in the capital said: "..."

Who the hell dares to stand up?

The crime of deceiving the emperor!
Especially, the Huangchengsi bunch of dogs are all waiting to bite you with their mouths open.

Xie Zhiyan shrugged at Li Haochuan and spread his hands: "Look, Your Highness, the eldest prince, you are really unpopular. No courtiers agree with you and are willing to stand on your side. How wicked are you?"

The minister standing on Li Haochuan's team: "...!"

"you……"

"First Prince, don't be impatient. If you have something to say, please speak slowly."

"Yan Yunhe!!"

"The minister is here, what orders does the eldest prince have? However, it is best for the eldest prince to keep his mouth shut, so as not to make another irreversible mistake."

Li Haochuan's face was ashen, his mouth opened and closed, and his chest heaved with anger, but he couldn't think of any vicious words to scold him in order to express such birdiness.

Yan Yunhe was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to look at Lu Wan.

The girl's almond-shaped eyes were wide-eyed, with crimson corners, and her eyes seemed to be shining with water, as if she saw her sweetheart suddenly falling from the sky at her critical moment, and she was so moved that she wanted to give her body to him.

Hey, she must be anxious if she can't see him.

Something happened unexpectedly. He was supposed to come back on time, but he didn't expect to encounter someone who wanted to intercept Qin Yiyun on the way. He led his men to rescue him and arranged the people to escort him, which delayed his journey.

He didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and lost three horses before he arrived in time.

"Master Yan, what you just said..." Lu Wan stepped forward and said softly.

Xie Zhiyan nodded and turned to Lu Shanyuan: "Master Lu, Meng Ruyi's household registration in Jiangning Mansion for the tenth year of Yuan Feng shows that she was an official slave after the criminal minister of Jiaofang."

One sentence fried the pot.

"Official slave!"

"My God!"

Lu Shanyuan's face turned pale: "Official slave? No, no, she is not an official slave, she is a prostitute. She is obviously just a prostitute."

Mrs. Lu was so angry that her head was buzzing loudly, and the hand pointing at Lu Shanyuan's nose was shaking violently: "Wha, what? A prostitute? She, didn't you say that she came from an official family, and her parents died of a serious illness? How did she become this? Le prostitute! Still an official slave! Lu Shanyuan, tell me clearly!"

"Mother...I, I don't know. I came to Jiangnan Mansion in the twelfth year of Yuan Feng. I saw that she was a slave because she had practiced dancing since she was a child. In order to survive, she voluntarily entered the Jiaofang Department as a prostitute. Ah, she is not an official slave!" Lu Shanyuan was so frightened that he explained hurriedly.

Back then, he was astonished when he first saw Meng Ruyi, who was performing the dance. The then prefect said that she was a prostitute from Jiaofangsi. She was innocent and did not sell her body. If he liked it, he could stay with him for a few days to avoid his first arrival. I feel lonely in my job.

But how could she be an official slave?

He quickly looked at Meng Ruyi. Meng Ruyi's vision went dark and she fell to the ground softly.

Lu Shanyuan's mind was buzzing.

Was he deceived?

Since she lied to him!
If an official dares to tamper with the official slaves' books to become good citizens and take them as concubines, he has violated the law and should be deposed as a commoner according to the law.

If Yan Yunhe insists on this matter... the Marquis will be finished!
Lu Shanyuan's vision went dark and he almost fell down.

Yu Churong turned pale and looked at Xie Huaiyu in panic.

Xie Huaiyu opened his mouth in shock. He couldn't believe it. If he married the daughter of an official slave...

God, he didn't even dare to think about it. Li Haochuan's face was extremely ugly, and he glared at Lu Shanyuan angrily. How could he create an official slave as a concubine?
This is a serious crime. If his father gets angry, he doesn't have to be his prince anymore!
Xie Zhiyan lowered his head and tugged on his mysterious robe, and said slowly: "The investigation by the Imperial City Department will naturally involve major cases. Do you want to know which family's criminal queen she is?"

He glanced around with cold eyes at the people present. Everyone he saw felt in danger, and they shrank their necks in fear for fear of being bitten by him.

Xie Zhiyan's eyes fell on the woman who was unconscious on the ground.

"This Meng Ruyi is indeed from an official family. Her original name is Jiang Furong, and she is the legitimate second daughter of the second son of the sinner, Mrs. Xu Guogong."

"Xu Guogong!"

"Oh my god, since it's the Xu family's major case..."

Some people couldn't help but scream, and some couldn't help but scream in low voices, and they were all so scared that they quickly covered their mouths.

If they were targeted by the Imperial City Secretary and suspected that they had an old relationship with Xu Guogong, they would be in trouble.

Lu Shanyuan's face turned pale now. His legs softened and he sat down on the ground. He pointed at the woman on the ground with shaking hands: "Xu... Xu Guogong? You, you, you..."

"Back then, the guilty minister Xu Guogong was implicated in the nine clans, and all his female relatives were thrown into the Jiaofang Division as official prostitutes. This Jiang Furong changed her stage name to Meng Ruyi. In the eleventh year of Yuanfeng, she met Yu Huanshui, a wealthy businessman in Jiangning Prefecture, who bribed the then prefect and The Secretary of the Jiaofang of Jiangning Prefecture tampered with the book to be an ordinary slave named Meng Ruyi, and fabricated the family name of Meng. "

"In the 12th year of Yuanfeng, Lord Lu was appointed as the prefect, and they were acquainted with each other on the recommendation of the previous prefect. I don't know why Luhou changed Meng Ruyi into a good citizen again? In the 14th year of Yuanfeng, Yu Huanshui married Meng Ruyi, whose name was changed. No. Do you know in what year did Mr. Lu fall in love with Meng Ruyi? "

Xie Zhiyan looked at Lu Shanyuan.

Lu Shanyuan had already woken up. He didn't care that the distinguished guests in the hall were pricking up their ears to listen to the gossip, and said hurriedly: "Master Yan is really good at investigating the case. I was deceived by the then prefect and Yu Huanshui. They said that Meng Ruyi was poor because her parents died. , she had to sell herself into Jiaofangsi as a prostitute. She also said that she was innocent and did not sell herself as an artist. If she could not redeem herself from Jiaofangsi, she would never be able to marry a good man and she would be ruined one day. "

"As a parent official, I should pity the people, and I want to be a beautiful man. Therefore, according to the law that ordinary slaves can be redeemed for one thousand taels of silver, I helped Meng Ruyi redeem his slave status and turned him into a good citizen."

Mrs. Lu looked at him in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"

Lu Shanyuan supported her: "Mother, how dare your son do something that violates the law?"

"Then when did Lord Lu and Meng Ruyi get close? Was it before Yu Huanshui married Meng Ruyi or after?"

Xie Zhiyan pressed forward step by step.

Lu Shanyuan feigned anger: "Master Yan, don't make false claims. You have to rely on evidence for everything. Meng Ruyi and Yu Huanshui also have a son and a daughter. How could I do such a shameless thing. After Yu Huanshui died of illness, Meng Ruyi dragged A pair of children came to me for help, hoping that I would take her to Beijing to find a relative. The mother saw that she was pitiful and kept her in the house. "

The people in the hall had different expressions.

No matter how innocent Lu Shanyuan said he was, an imaginative person would have already come up with several versions of the story that could be called a fairy tale.

Even if what he said is true, is it always true that Ke Meng Ruyi secretly had an affair with his legitimate wife behind his back and became pregnant after entering the house?
"Oh. So, Meng Ruyi's children are definitely Yu Huanshui's?"

Xie Zhiyan glanced at Lu Wan.

Lu Wan was a little confused. She didn't know what cards Yan Yunhe had in his hand or who the group of people he had captured were.

Although what he said today shocked her a little, she never expected that Meng Ruyi was actually the person involved in Xu Guogong's old case.

But, it wasn't surprising enough for her.

"That... is natural." Lu Shanyuan gritted his teeth.

"Well, fortunately, a few of the people who committed the crime were arrested. After the officials take them back to the Imperial City Department for interrogation, they will know the truth and falsehood."

He pointed to the first one who was blindfolded and gagged, and the fattest one: "This is the prefect at that time. After leaving Jiangnan Prefecture, he was transferred to Jiangnan East Road as governor and pacifier. In less than a year, he was rated as the lowest at the end of the year. When he was demoted to the county magistrate, I heard that he was promoted to the post of governor by Lord Lu. "

Lu Shanyuan's face turned pale again.

At that time, the prefect was incompetent, and the emperor also wanted Lu Shanyuan to make some achievements, so he transferred him to his replacement.

It was because he recommended Meng Ruyi to him, and as a thank you, he used some connections to adjust his position. However, he failed to live up to his expectations and was fired within a year.

Unexpectedly, after many years, he was still caught out by the Imperial City Division.

What if...he told the truth and that would be the end of it.

The important thing is that if that incident... were to be dug out, the sky would really fall!
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhiyan's slow words were like a bomb, sending Lu Shanyuan, Mrs. Lu and Meng Ruyi, who had just woken up, directly to hell.

Lu Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this.

So here’s the surprise!
The author overestimated his hand speed...

It’s so difficult to write these chapters. Even in the early morning, there is no more [Dog Head]

Owe, owe, owe...
