The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 314 Suspicion

 Everyone went to see Concubine De.

Upon seeing the ceremony, King Qin stood up and said: "You are showing off your prestige! Where did the Concubine De's words start? This king has not said a word since he entered Rongan Hall. Where does the prestige come from?"

Concubine De looked at Lu Zixun, who was swollen into a pig's head, and asked: "You didn't show off your authority, why did Zixun's face look like this? Wasn't it the King of Qin who beat him?"

King Qin said: "That is a good question from Concubine De. Then why didn't Concubine De ask me why my men wanted to beat him?"

Concubine De stared at King Qin and took two steps forward, "Something happened in the palace. Zixun was anxious and his emotions were inevitably a little out of control.

The King of Qin has lived in the British government for more than 20 years. The British government raised you with no credit but hard work.

The King of Qin didn't remember his kindness, and he allowed his subordinates to fight. Doesn’t King Qin feel ashamed? "

Facing Concubine De's indignant accusation, King Qin said calmly: "I don't think so."

Concubine De was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "You..."

Lu Ziran on the side took over and said, "Madam, calm down, what happened today is Zixun's fault."

King Qin was surprised by Lu Ziran's attitude. He looked up and saw Lu Ziran standing by the pillar of the corridor with an expressionless face. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Concubine De glanced at Lu Ziran coldly and said angrily: "Zixun is your brother!"

Lu Ziran bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, Madam. Ziran knows that Zixun and Ziran are brothers from the same mother."

 Concubine De was so choked by Lu Ziran's words that she almost lost her breath. She clenched the handkerchief in her hands with both hands and glared at Lu Ziran with a livid face. Then she turned her eyes to Lu Dingning, who was four | five steps away from Lu Ziran.

Angrily: "Okay, very good, the good boy who was raised by the second brother dares to contradict me."

Lu Dingning glanced at King Qin awkwardly, then took a peek at Concubine De, and cursed in his heart, "When gods fight, little devils suffer."

He couldn't afford to offend both sides. Lu Dingning smiled apologetically and said to Xi Ni, "We are all a family. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly. Why do we have to be like needles against wheat awns?"

 There is nothing wrong with what Lu Dingning said.

 The King of Qin was the nephew of Concubine De from his natal family when he was Lu Ziqin.

 The King of Qin was the eldest son of the Queen during the reign of Zhou Jinghong.

 No matter how you calculate it, he and she are a family.

Concubine De was dizzy with anger and said without hesitation: "Who is with him..."

 “Mother’s concubine…”

"Why are you standing outside? How is grandma?" Xian Wang's voice and Lu Ziqiu's voice sounded at the same time.

The King Xian stood at the door, his eyes fell on Lu Ziqiu, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The words of the concubine just said in front of several ministers, and it would be a big deal.

  De Fei did not realize her mistake. However, his words were interrupted and he did not continue.

Everyone turned to look over and saw Lu Ziqiu hurried over with her maid, followed not far away by Hua Ruiming.

When Lu Ziqiu saw Concubine De, with tears in his eyes, he greeted Concubine De and said, "Zi Qiu pays my respects to the empress."

Concubine De looked at Lu Ziqiu who was kneeling on the ground, her face softened, and she stepped forward and bent down to help Lu Ziqiu up. "Okay, Ziqiu is a good person. Your grandmother's love for you is not in vain. Let's go in and see your grandmother."

Lu Ziqiu nodded in agreement, turned around and saw Mr. Li kneeling on the ground and Lu Zixun, who was almost unrecognizable. He asked in surprise: "Why are you kneeling here? Are you the second brother?"

Before Li and Lu Zixun could reply, the British Duke came out of the room.

The British Duke said: "Zi Qiu, go in and see your grandmother."

Lu Ziqiu looked at Li and Lu Zixun, nodded and said, "Yes, grandfather."

Hua Ruiming approached and greeted Concubine De first, then the King Xian, the King of Qin, the Duke of England, and all the other lords.

When Hua Ruiming came down to greet them, the British father-in-law said to Li and her son who were kneeling on the ground: "Things that will only cause trouble should get up and go back to your own courtyard."

Li helped Lu Zixun stand up.

Ruan Chu looked at King Qin and saw that King Qin pursed his lips and did not make things difficult, so he stood upright next to King Qin, as if the previous unhappiness had not happened.

Lu Dingkun raised his hands to Zhang Qingyun and others and said: "Such a tragic incident happened at home, which has made all of you very hard. Please come to your room."

 Zhang Shangshu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome. I have been ordered by the Emperor to investigate this case together with Mr. Liu."

The British Duke raised his hands and said, "My lords, please come this way."

 Zhang Shangshu said: "You don't have to be polite, Lord, it's important to deal with official business. Let's take a look at the old lady and the injured slave first."

Liu Fuyin leaned forward and said, "Sir Zhang, Dr. Hu and Dr. Xu are treating the old lady. It is not appropriate to ask at this time.

The body of the victim slave was parked in the side courtyard, and Qi Wuzuo was still there to check. Did Mr. Zhang go there in person or send someone to check? "

 Zhang Shangshu turned to look at Li Cheng and said, "Li Yuanwailang went over to take a look on my behalf, okay?"

Li Cheng leaned forward and said, "I'll do as you please."

 After saying that, Li Cheng bowed his hands to everyone and led two officers to the side courtyard.

 Zhang Shangshu and others followed Lu Dingkun into the reception room of Rongan Hall.

Concubine De sat at the top, King Qin, and King Xian sat on the left and right nearest to the top. King Xian was next to the Duke of England, and King Qin was next to Shangshu Zhang. The other officials took their seats one after another.

Ruan Chu stood upright behind King Qin.

Wait for the maid to serve tea and then leave.

 Zhang Shangshu looked at Liu Fuyin and asked, "Have you checked? How did the old lady leave the house yesterday?"

Liu Fuyin said: "After checking, the maid in the mansion said that at the time of application yesterday, a person who looked like a chamberlain came to the mansion. He said he was from Prince Xian's Mansion and was ordered by Prince Xian to take the old lady to Prince Xian's Mansion. Reunion with Empress Dowager De.

The visitor urged her urgently, saying that the empress would return to the palace soon, so the old lady got into the man's car with her accompanying nanny. What happens next is tragic. "

Concubine De said: "The Japanese palace did not leave the palace yesterday."

The wise king looked at Concubine De, "Concubine, don't worry, listen to Zhang Shangshu, Liu Fuyin and others said."

Concubine De looked at everyone and shut up and stopped talking.

 Zhang Shangshu smiled awkwardly, turned his attention to the British father, and then asked: "The old lady didn't return last night, and the house didn't find out?"

The British Duke sighed and said: "I went to see the king for tea yesterday and didn't return home until Xu. Because I came back late, I rested in the outer courtyard and did not come to the backyard."

 Zhang Shangshu turned his attention to Lu Dingkun, "Where is the prince? Doesn't the prince know that the old lady is out?"

Qin Zhen, who was behind Lu Dingkun, took over, "Yesterday, the prince went to Jingzhao Mansion to settle matters with his wife. After coming out of Jingzhao Mansion, he was in a bad mood, so he walked along the street at the entrance of Jingzhao Mansion. We walked forward until we reached the entrance of Songbai Alley and entered the 'delicious' restaurant at the entrance of the alley.

The prince had been drinking in the restaurant for more than two hours and was very drunk.

 It was almost midnight when I brought the prince back.

 The prince is too drunk to come to pay his respects to the old lady. The young man sent someone to the backyard to inform the old lady. The maid from Rong'an Hall said that the old lady had gone out and would tell her when she came back. The little one was relieved. "

  Qin Zhen finished speaking.

Lu Dingkun said: "I didn't do well in the Qi family, and the family broke up, which made everyone laugh."

Just when everyone didn't know how to answer the question, a servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Xu and Doctor Hu have finished examining the old lady."

The British Duke and Lu Dingkun stood up and greeted Doctor Xu and Doctor Hu as they entered. Doctor Xu and Doctor Hu bowed their hands to everyone.

 The British Duke invited the two of them to sit down.

Physician Xu waved his hand and said: "I and Mr. Hu have something to do back at Tai's Hospital, so I won't stay any longer. I will explain the old lady's injury to everyone.

The old lady's injuries were extremely serious. The tendons of her hands and feet were severed, and her tongue was cut off at the root. From now on, even if the old lady's injuries are healed, it will be extremely difficult for her to take care of herself and she will no longer be able to speak. "

The people present took a breath after hearing Xu Yizheng's words. It is difficult to think about an old man who cannot take care of himself.

After a pause, Doctor Xu continued: "This is the old lady's injury. I and Mr. Hu have already treated the old lady's wound, prescribed prescriptions and prepared precautions."

As he said that, Doctor Xu was handing the prescription in his hand to the British Duke.

 The British Duke stretched out his hand to take the prescription and bowed to express his thanks.

Physician Xu leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, you are very polite. I hope that the old lady will recover soon. I and Mr. Hu will not disturb everyone's discussion, and we will take our leave."

Lu Ziran leaned forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll give you a farewell."

 Xu Yizheng declined politely.

The British Duke said: "I asked Ziran to send you two off. Thank you for your hard work."

Physician Xu saw Lu Ziran insisting on seeing him off, and without further words, he cupped his hands and left the room.

Concubine De picked up the cup on the table, banged it heavily, and said angrily: "I have asked Mr. Liu and Zhang Shangshu to investigate the case as soon as possible and find out the real culprit. I request that the criminal be punished with a lighter punishment." "

 Zhang Shangshu and Liu Fuyin leaned forward and responded: "I will do my best to find out the dispute as soon as possible."

Concubine De looked at King Qin and said fiercely: "Once the person behind the scenes is found out, no matter who the person is, I will make him pay the price with blood and make him regret it."

King Qin looked at Concubine De and said, "Concubine De, you don't have to look at me fiercely. I also hope that the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion will bring the gangsters to justice as soon as possible. Give Grandma Wang and the old lady an explanation."

King Xian looked at King Qin coldly and said, "Brother, the emperor is coming over today to visit my grandmother?"

The King of Qin turned to meet the Xian Wang's gaze and asked bluntly: "What else? Could it be that the Xian King is as suspicious of me as Zixun?"

The wise king said: "Until the truth is found out, everything is an object of suspicion. It is not impossible for me to be suspicious of the emperor's brother. After all, the way my grandmother treated the emperor's brother before has made the emperor's brother hold a grudge."

 King Qin looked at the Xian King with a half-smile, and said calmly: "The Xian King is right. Before the truth comes out, anyone can be suspected.

 But you can’t wrongly accuse any innocent person, right?

 Therefore, everything must have evidence, witnesses, and physical evidence, and the case should not be decided based on the imagination of the wise king, Lu Zixun and others.

 I believe that all the adults in the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment are experienced experts in solving cases. With their full efforts to pursue the case, the truth will come to light one day.

The reason why I appear here today is, firstly, that I am now serving in the Ministry of Punishment, and secondly, the British Palace was once my home. If something happened at home, I should come back and take a look, whether in public or private.

I have forgotten that it is precisely because of this relationship between me and the British government that I should avoid suspicion. "

The wise king sneered: "Brother Huang's speech has been impeccable since he was a child."

King Qin smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you. I am only telling the truth, the truth. Again, you can doubt anyone, but you have to have evidence."

The wise king snorted coldly and stopped talking.

The British Duke said: "The investigation of the case will be left to the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment. The two princes do not need to fight over this to hurt their harmony."

King Qin said: "I originally wanted to visit the old lady, but under the current situation, it seems that it is not necessary. Although I serve in the Ministry of Punishment, considering the special nature of this case, I would like to avoid suspicion. I will leave here."

Having said that, King Qin stood up and bowed his hands to Zhang Shangshu, Zheng Shilang and Liu Fuyin.

 Zhang Shangshu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "That's fine. Your Majesty, please go back first. We'll see you later."

 King Qin nodded and walked out. After taking two steps, King Qin turned back to look at the Xian King and said, "If I were the one who took action, do you think the old lady would still be alive?"

King Qin’s words were not loud, but the people in the room could hear him clearly.

The wise king's expression was stagnant, and he could not say a word as he met King Qin's gaze. Indeed, if King Qin takes action, there is no need for him to spare his grandmother's life.

King Qin looked at him with contempt, turned and left.

Concubine De was so angry that she was shaking all over and murmured: "He is really lawless. How dare he? I want to go back to the palace to see the emperor and let the emperor comment."

The King Xian turned back to look at Concubine De and said, "Concubine, please be patient. The emperor is right. This matter should not be caused by the emperor."

Seeing that the wise king was protecting the king of Qin, Concubine De lost control of her emotions again. "You believe what he says? You have been protecting him for so many years, but what about him? How did he treat you?"

It seems that in Concubine De's heart, King Qin is just a white-eyed wolf.

The British public was worried that the concubine would make surprise remarks. You should know that there are outsiders present at this moment. He quickly said: "We will not make unnecessary speculations. Leave everything to the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Mansion, and we will be patient and get the results. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu, please worry about it."

 Zhang Shangshu bowed his hands and said: "The Duke of the country has spoken seriously. It is my duty to investigate the case, so there is no need to worry about it."

The King Xian looked at Concubine De and said: "Grandma's condition is serious and she needs to rest. My concubine has been out of the palace for a long time, so let's go back to the palace first. When grandma gets better, she will come to visit her again. Okay?"

Concubine De thought for a while and nodded, "That's good. I'll come see the old lady when she gets better. I'd like to thank everyone here for the case."

 As Concubine De stood up, Zhang Shangshu and others stood up and sent Concubine De out of Rong'an Hall.

Concubine De stopped and said: "My lords, it is important to handle the case, so please send it here."

 Zhang Shangshu and others stopped and bowed to Concubine De, until Concubine De walked away.

 The British Duke and the Xian Wang sent Concubine De into the car, and they went to the study room of Wenyuan Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the study, the British Duke said: "If this was not done by King Qin, who could it be? Could it be him?"
