After the evil concubine was reborn, she only wanted to abuse the scumbag

Chapter 426: Chapter 427

Lu Youping was locked in a prison cart and brought back to the capital. He walked all the way through the street until he entered the prison of Dali Temple. It can be seen that Lu Xiang stole the limelight. Sitting in the carriage, Lu Xiang could hear the discussions from outside.

"I heard that Lu Shilang used the name of rebuilding the embankment to steal millions of taels of silver. He thought that his work was perfect. Who would have thought that someone would catch him right?"

"This kind of person is simply a vampire, who only eats the flesh and blood of our common people."

"He has embezzled so much money, the dams for flood control will definitely cut corners. If there is a flood, the people along the river will suffer. If he escapes this time, it will really kill countless people."

"This kind of person should be beheaded to vent public anger."

"It is said that officials and officials are mutual, who knows if they will be lifted high and put down gently."

"..."

"Miss, don't listen to their nonsense." Ah Man pulled back Lu Xiang's hand that raised the curtain, frowned and said, "Those people don't know why, they only speculate based on what they heard."

The car curtain was lowered to block out the discussion outside.

Lu Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, not caring.

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of Dali Temple.

When Lu Xiang got out of the car, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful carriage not far away from the corner of his eye. He felt familiar, then turned his head to take a look, and then saw Chu Jinyan getting off the carriage gracefully.

He was dressed in a crescent-white gold brocade tailor-made robe, which was so plain that there was not even a decorative cloud pattern on it, but it didn't affect the nobleness of the heavenly family exuding from his bones in the slightest.

He walked towards Lu Xiang step by step. Under the thick eyelashes, his black eyes were dark and deep, like a deep pool, but overflowing with tenderness.

"I've seen His Highness the Eighth Prince." Lu Xiang bowed her knees and saluted, then lowered her voice and asked, "Are you waiting for me here on purpose?"

The corners of Chu Jinyan's mouth curved slightly, which made his handsome appearance a bit more enchanting, and then quickly restrained his smile: "Lu Shilang is imprisoned in Dali Temple, I guess you will definitely come."

"Don't worry, I will find a way to rescue him."

Lu Xiang pursed her lips and said, "Do you need to be rescued? I have to go in and see my father first."

When Chu Jinyan heard Lu Xiang's words, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise.

"Do you think Mr. Lu really embezzled money?"

Lu Xiang shook her head: "No, I will explain it to you later."

"Okay." Chu Jinyan nodded.

Then he entered the cell of Dali Temple with Lu Xiang.

The jailer was shocked to see the two appearing together.

Chu Jinyan said grandly: "The emperor was furious when he heard about this, and ordered me to come and understand the situation."

The jailer understood instantly, and respectfully invited him in, but kept Lu Xiang outside.

Lu Xiang slowly took out a token from his sleeve: "I just took a look at my father, so I won't delay His Highness's interrogation."

This is the token given to Lu Xiang by the empress back then, seeing the order is like seeing a person.

The jailers knew it was wrong, but Lu Xiang held the token of Jingren Palace, representing the empress, they really didn't dare to stop her.

"If the higher-ups are held accountable, I will bear it all. I won't take too long." Lu Xiang said.

The jailer gave Lu Xiang a grateful look, and then let him go.

Lu Youping's corruption was so bad that he was locked in the innermost cell with his hands and feet shackled.

Although the cells in Dali Temple are not dirty and poor, they still have a dark and oppressive atmosphere everywhere.

The jailer led the two of them to stop at the door of a cell: "Lord Lu, someone has come to see you."

Lu Youping was really lying on the haystack facing the wall, when he heard the sound a carp stood up straight, and the moment he saw his daughter, his expression was indescribable.

"Father, are you okay?" Lu Xiang asked softly.

Lu Youping said "En", then stood up and bowed to Chu Jinyan with fists in his hands: "I will see Your Highness."

"Master Lu has suffered." Chu Jinyan nodded and said.

When Lu Youping heard the words, his moved eyes were filled with tears.

His Highness actually cared about him?

Boom, I'm so touched.

"Since father is fine, my daughter can rest assured." Lu Xiang saw the calmness and calmness on Lu Youping's face, and immediately understood that everything was under his control.

"Being upright is not afraid of crooked shadows. I believe the emperor will uphold justice for me and tell your grandmother not to worry." Lu Youping looked at Lu Xiang, hesitant to speak.

From the time he was convicted and arrested to returning to Beijing, Lu Youping was always thinking about the conversation between his daughter in Lijing and him in the study.

"Father, you must be careful of the prefect of Jiangcheng during this trip to Jiangcheng."

"What do you mean by that?"

"My daughter accidentally learned that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry colluded with the prefect of Jiangcheng. When Jiangcheng was flooded, the court withdrew the funds for disaster relief and the money for building dams. The two led by them embezzled millions of taels, involving the Ministry of Industry and households. Several officials from the Ministry of Finance and Jiangcheng, one of them died suddenly, and the news of his corruption was reported, and I believe it will reach the ears of the emperor in a short time, and a thorough investigation will definitely shock the court."

"What does this have to do with me? Also, how do you know these things. "

"How does my daughter know? Don't ask me. If these people want to save their lives, they have to push a scapegoat to protect them from disaster. Dad is suddenly ordered to go to Jiangcheng. I'm afraid it's the sheep selected by the Ministry of Industry. , is to step into the trap they set up."

"Is this really true? Don't lie to me."

"My daughter is under the protection of the Lu family. If something happens to my father, the Lu family will not escape the responsibility."

"That's right, then... what should I do? I'll tell Mr. Su tomorrow and ask him to send someone else."

"Father, you have known about this in advance. If you use it properly, it may be your chance to take a step forward. Do you dare to take a gamble?"

"Don't, you will die."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is Liu Xiang's person. This time, it is Liu Xiang's intention to ask father to go to Jiangcheng. What do you think is the chance of you refusing?"

"I asked someone to beat me up. If I'm seriously injured, I can't be forced to go to Jiangcheng."

"If you can hide this time, can dad hide for a lifetime?"

"Then what do you say?"

"Master Qin next to the prefect of Jiangcheng has their corruption account books in his hand. Father finds an opportunity to send someone to hunt him down, blame the prefect of Jiangcheng, and then pretend to save his life, gain his trust, get the account books, and then do the trick. Waiting to return to Beijing."

"Are you sure it works?"

"Father knows how to be an official better than I do. My daughter is just proposing a solution. As for how to do it, I believe father knows better."

"Let me think about it..."

……

Lu Xiang left Dali Temple, and sat down with Chu Jinyan in a tea house.

After hearing what Lu Xiang said, Chu Jinyan looked at her in surprise.

After a long time, he said: "Where did you hear this?"

Lu Xiang closed her eyes, took a sip of tea with her teacup in her hand, and Wan'er said with a smile: "I overheard that Minister of the Ministry of Industry found an inconspicuous teahouse to talk to people, and I happened to be sitting in the cubicle. Unfortunately, the sound insulation effect of the small tea house is not good. I roughly understood it, and then I heard from my father that he was sent to Jiangcheng, so I asked him to pay attention. It would be best if nothing happened. Save."
