Chapter 242 I said there would be trouble! (Ask for monthly ticket)
A circle of public cases was laid out in the back hall of the Yamen, and a pile of numbered account books was piled in front of everyone.
Lu Jie was still sitting at the top, with Yan Shu on his left and Shen Qingzhou on his right. The three of them were sipping tea unhurriedly, with a large incense basket burning next to them. The officials below them also had tea on their desks, but they did not dare to stop their hands and feet. They kept their feet on the ground and were busy running around. They were in stark contrast to the three in the hall.
At that moment, Lu Jie ordered: "Submit all the accounts related to the cabinet." After he finished, he turned to Yan and said: "These are early accounts, and it is difficult to trace the whereabouts of many. It is not during my term of office, and I don't need to go into details. But if you have Impression, give them a guide so that they can be included in the book later.”
Yan Shu also put down the cup and took the first set of accounts handed over.
Shen Qingzhou glanced at them from behind the tea cup and drank tea with his eyes lowered.
As soon as the tea entered my throat, a yamen servant flew into the room and said, "Master Shangshu, someone from the mansion has something urgent to report!"
The three people in the hall all raised their heads. At this moment, Changfu entered the hall and threw himself under Lu Jie's case: "Master, please save the eldest lady quickly..."
Lu Jie flashed his hand, but before he could say anything, another person hurriedly came outside the hall, and it turned out to be Lu Rong!
"Master!" Lu Rong came up out of breath. He quickly glanced at the people present and then said calmly: "Master, Madam, Madam——"
Lu Jie paused again: "What's wrong with her?"
Lu Rong gritted his teeth: "Please come back to your home and report more carefully."
"Why are you trying to hide yourself? If you don't tell me, I will tell you!" Changfu snatched Lu Rong's words away, "Sir! That's what happened. This morning, Guo Lu and his wife's confidants knelt in front of the Shuntian Mansion. Beat the drum! He also held up a large stack of papers to accuse his wife of various crimes she had committed over the years..."
"Wait a minute," Lu Jie put down the cup, "You said Guo Lu went to sue Sister Ying's mother?"
"That's right!" Changfu nodded heavily, "Not only did Guo Lu go to sue him personally, but what he sued was not only how the wife took advantage of the master's influence to exert power outside, but also did something extremely harmful to the world without telling the master. ! ”
Yan Shu heard this and put down the account book: "Isn't Guo Lu in prison? How did he get out?"
"Returning to Mr. Yan, as soon as my wife returned home yesterday, she ordered the people around her to bring poisoned meals to the prison to silence her. As a result, the person who poisoned the poison discovered his conscience and violated his wife's order, and instead saved Guo Lu from Shuntian Mansion. Come out. After Guo Lu learned from the servant that his wife was cruelly trying to kill him, he was so sad that he decided to sue her. "
The whole hall was stunned.
After all, Lu Jie was the chief of a government office, so Zuo Shilang hurriedly led his people to retreat first.
But the three people in the hall were still speechless for a long time. After a long time, Shen Qingzhou asked first: "Where did you hear this rumor? Isn't Guo Lu Mrs. Lu's nephew? Why was he silenced?"
"Because Guo Lu exposed one of our wife's biggest crimes, which concerns our eldest lady!" Changfu cupped his hands, "Eleven years ago, my wife had someone take the eldest lady to the wild and abandon her! This is what caused this Our eldest lady has been living among the people for more than ten years!”
"What?" Shen Qingzhou turned to look at Lu Jie, "Master Shangshu, is this serious?"
Lu Jie's face was like iron, and he put down the tea: "What else did he say?"
"Guo Lu also confessed that his wife attempted to murder the eldest lady eleven years ago, and last year she instructed Guo Lu to go to Shawan to hunt her down! I can testify to this. The eldest lady was indeed hunted down when she was in Shawan! That's right. It was because of fear that the young lady later had the courage to return to Beijing to find her relatives! But she never expected that all this would be done by the wife whom the young lady respects as her biological mother..."
"That's unreasonable!" Shen Qingzhou put down the cup, "You mean, the emperor granted me a marriage to my fiancée, but she was hunted down repeatedly by her stepmother, Mrs. Lu?" "Qingzhou..."
Yan Shu wanted to speak when he heard this, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Chang Fu continued: "When I returned to Mr. Shen, Guo Lu said more than that. He said that when the eldest lady returns home, Before, his wife sent him to Jizhou to find a replacement woman similar to the eldest lady..."
"Replace?" Lu Jie, whose face had already turned into a steel plate, heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, "Replace for what?"
Changfu glanced at Yan Shu next to him: "Because my wife has always been unwilling to let the second young lady marry to Yan's house, and she couldn't refuse, she thought of finding a fake eldest lady to marry the second young lady in her stead. You can rely on the eldest lady and say that she is jealous of the second lady and deliberately snatch the marriage. Secondly, you can let the second lady escape smoothly and find a well-matched son-in-law!"
"Absurd!" Yan Shu slapped the table and stood up with a cold face: "Is this really what Guo Lu said?"
"Sir, this is what Guo Lu said himself! Not only that, he also brought the two women his wife asked him to find to Shuntian Mansion, including all the above, he also wrote them in big characters and displayed them one by one. In front of passers-by, most of the capital now - no, almost the entire capital knows it!
"When the eldest lady heard the rumors, she didn't believe it at first. She even asked the younger one to go to Shuntian Mansion. When the younger one arrived, the door was already crowded. Guo Lu complained at the top of his lungs. Witnesses and confessions were all gathered. This is also true. There is no room for disbelief!
"After the young lady learned about this, she was so heartbroken in the house. Two-quarters of an hour ago, while my mother went to fetch a basin of water, the young lady hung a beam in the house..."
When Changfu said this, he wiped his eyes and choked, lowering his head.
There was a clang from the cup on Lu Jie! He stood up: "How is she doing now?!"
"Fortunately, my mother arrived in time and saved the eldest lady. But the young lady is still dissatisfied and is still thinking of seeking death!" Changfu looked up with tears in his eyes.
Shen Qingzhou glanced at the two people in the hall: "Such a thing happened in the house of a first-class official! Mr. Lu and Mr. Yan, do you dare to ask if the emperor knows about Mrs. Lu's evil deeds? If the emperor doesn't know, then as Mrs. Lu in the Yan family, My natal family, the Lu family, as Mrs. Lu’s husband, you both tolerate your wife’s arrogance, are you doing it to trample on the majesty of the emperor, or are you doing it to trample on the face of our Shen family?

"Do you think this Miss Lu is a piece of shit in your eyes?
"And I, Shen Yu, am only worthy of marrying such an abandoned daughter in your eyes?"
Shen Qingzhou's eyes fell on Yan Shu's face.
Yan Shuhan glanced at him, strode out of the desk, pointed at Changfu and stopped in front of Lu Rong: "Is what he said true?!"
Lu Rong gritted his teeth and nodded: "Everything is true, not a single word is false. Shuntian Prefecture has even sent people to Lu Mansion to ask how we, sir, will deal with this matter? If you don't say anything, then Shuntian Prefecture will take over Guo Lu The case is open for trial!”
When Lu Jie heard this, he immediately strode towards the door.
Yan Shu grabbed him and asked, "How are you doing?"
Lu Jie said: "She has no conscience, what do you think I should do to her?!"
Yan Shu said again: "Lan Chu!..."
When Lu Jie said this, he looked at him solemnly and said deeply: "I told you that day that she couldn't come back, and there would be trouble when she came back. You don't believe it, have you seen it now?"
After saying that, he brushed Yan Shu's hand away and walked out like a gust of wind.
