224, Su Yi's scheming, the Golden Palace trial (2 more)
The emperor took the case and all officials entered the palace.
Not long after, the Jinyiwei was ordered to capture the defendant Lu Yanqing.
When the mansion was surrounded by Jinyiwei, the eldest princess was looking through Lu Yanqing's homework in the study.
Lu Xingzhou pushed the door and looked not very good-looking, "Ayin, something happened."
Hearing the last three words, the eldest princess's eyebrows hopped and she looked up at the man standing at the door, "I heard the drum sound before, is it related to our mansion?"
Lu Xingzhou pursed his lips slightly and did not answer, which was the default.
The eldest princess' hand that was flipping through the book curled up because of sudden tension, "What's the matter?"
Even if the incident happened to her back then was exposed, she didn't want to hear any bad news about her son.
"It's Yan Qing." Lu Xingzhou spoke in a hoarse voice. "The person who beat the drums sued him for privately opening a coal mine in Ningzhou four years ago and recruited hundreds of workers. As a result, more than 80 miners were buried alive due to the collapse of the mine."
"Impossible!" The eldest princess denied, "Four years ago, Yan Qing was only twelve years old, how could he do such a thing?"
Lu Xingzhou also felt it was impossible, "The emperor was going to try the case in the Golden Palace. The Jinyiwei had already come to catch people with orders, but Yan Qing had just left for a while and was not in the mansion now. Ayin, stay at home and wait, I will go to the palace to find out the situation."
She suppressed her grief and stood up, "The prince-in-law should stay in the mansion, I will enter the palace."
As the eldest princess, it is indeed more effective than his son-in-law who has no real power. Lu Xingzhou didn't stop him, but just told her warmly, "Since it's for her son, bear it when it's time to endure it, don't easily make a fuss with the Queen Mother."
The eldest princess said no, tidied up her appearance casually, and walked out.
"Ayin." Lu Xingzhou called her again, and as she turned around, she went up and hugged her, her voice becoming softer, "Don't be afraid, I'll wait for you to go home."
The eldest princess hmmed softly again in her nasal cavity, which was a little more indescribable than the previous one.
The housekeeper had already ordered people to prepare the carriage to enter the palace.
Originally, when the Jinyiwei was surrounded, the mansion prohibited anyone from going out.
However, when the eldest princess went out, even the commander of the Jinyiwei did not dare to stop him.
Lu Xingzhou stood at the gate and watched the carriage walk away. He invited the commander of the Jinyiwei beside him to have tea. He knew that the other party was a close minister of the emperor and had always been in business. Lu Xingzhou did not mention Lu Yanqing's entire journey, and talked about ordinary topics.
The commander saw that the prince-consort was a smart man, and his attitude was much better than when he first came. After drinking tea, he gave Lu Xingzhou a clear idea. "I am ordered to act and only responsible for taking the defendant to the Golden Palace for trial. If there is no emperor's order in the middle, he will not abuse lynching."
The Jinyiwei has the right to take action first and then report outside. The methods are so cruel that everyone knows.
Lu Xingzhou smiled, "Thank you, the commander."
Only some of the Jinyiwei guards surrounded the eldest princess's mansion, and the other part had gone out to search for Lu Yanqing's traces.
Lu Yanqing didn’t know how powerful Dengwengu and Jinyiwei were before, but today he had personally experienced it.
Since leaving the Hanlin Academy, he hid all the way, but no matter where he hid, he could almost hit the Jinyiwei.
The keen sense of smell and the pair of eyes that were like a falcon, as if they were telling him that even if he had wings, he would never be able to escape the Jinyiwei's net.
It has been sixteen years, and this is the first time today. He clearly realized that he had left his parents and grandmother, and he could only be a desperate person.
Seeing that the Jinyiwei was about to find him, Lu Yanqing was ruthless and ran towards the Lu family's old house desperately.

When Su Yi heard the sound of the drum, she knew that things would be done. She leaned on the Arhat bed and squinted her eyes while sleeping. The maid next to her carefully applied a elixir to her nails.
The bright red color, just like the mouth fat on her lips, made her eyes look even colder and more toxic.
"Uncle, please save me!"
A sound suddenly came from outside, and it was Lu Yanqing who broke in.
Su Yi winked the maid and signaled that they all retreated. She put the double-breasted buns on the outside. After sitting up straight, she looked at the person who came with a smile, "Yan Qing, why do you think of the eldest uncle here?"
The escape all the way made Lu Yanqing describe it as awkward. He looked at the brightly dressed woman in front of him, and his eyes suddenly turned red, "My uncle said before that would be nice to me, does this count?"
"Of course, forget it." Su Yi smiled, "Why don't you look back and think about it. Over the years, did the aunt have said anything about you, and did she treat you at all harshly? When did you suffer grievances on the other end? My aunt did not comfort you secretly?"
Lu Yanqing thought about it and it seemed that this was true. The eldest uncle has always been very nice to him, better than his mother. Many things that his mother does not allow are unconditional support for him when he comes to the eldest uncle.
There was a time when he even suspected that he was born to his uncle.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Su Yi asked, "Have you done something wrong again today?"
He looked completely unaware of the sound of the drum.
When Lu Yanqing heard this, he shook his head desperately, his eyes shaking with fear, "No, it's the Jinyiwei who wants to arrest me."
"The Jinyiwei wants to arrest you?" Su Yi was shocked, "What's going on?"
Lu Yanqing had no time to explain, "Oh my uncle, can you take me in? I really have no place to go."
Su Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded with a smile, "Of course."
As he said that, he glanced at Lu Yanqing, "You are hungry, I'll ask someone to prepare food for you."
"No, I don't want to eat." He had been occupied by fear and just wanted a place to hide.
"Then I'll arrange a room for you, you can have a good sleep. On the Jinyiwei side, the eldest uncle goes out to help you deal with it. When you wake up, nothing will happen."
After running all the way, Lu Yanqing was indeed exhausted. He heard Su Yi say this, he was grateful, "Thank you, uncle."
Su Yi waved to the dowry maid and asked her to arrange a room for the little marquis.
The maid whispered to Su Yi, "Big Grandma, what's the fragrance of smoke this time?"
Su Yi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the maid immediately understood and was intoxicated.
The little marquis would occasionally come to the old house. He would meet the old man and the old lady less often and look for the big grandma more often. Whenever he came, the big grandma would ask them to incense.
There is a kind of incense in the Su family, which is a recipe obtained by the Prime Minister from the people of the Western Regions. It has a slight hypnotic effect, but it is not enough to have incense alone. It must be matched with the big grandmother's method of coaxing the little marquis to sleep to achieve the real hypnotic effect. At this time, it is easy for the big grandmother to make something out of the little marquis' mouth or to make him form a certain subconscious mind.
The reason why Su Yi was able to find out that Lu Yanqing had opened a coal mine in Ningzhou so quickly was that he hypnotized Lu Yanqing to take the opportunity to make up the conversation.
However, the prerequisite for her success is that Lu Yanqing is young and weak-willed.
Otherwise, if you change to adults, this fragrance will be just an ordinary incense and will not have any effect.
When Song Wei beat someone in the Imperial College a few years ago, when Lu Yanqing was reported to him by the princess, he had been awakened by the princess and had been following the rules for a while.
Not long after that, he came to the old house to play with his cousins, and drank a few more drinks during the period. He had a nightmare while taking a nap here and said something confused. Soon Su Yi met her, so she took the opportunity to lit the hypnotic incense and asked directly.
Su Yi and the Empress Dowager made a strange agreement on the goal of "destroying Lu Yanqing", but Su Yi's methods were even more despicable.
She used the hypnotic incense, and Lu Yanqing slowly learned to put away his claws in front of his mother and follow the rules. After leaving the princess's mansion, he was arrogant and domineering than before.
In fact, Su Yi had collected evidence from the truth about the Dahuanshan Coal Mine, but she felt that this was far from enough to make Zhao Xunyin fall to pieces, so she was waiting for Lu Yanqing's life information to be transmitted back.
Once it was confirmed that Lu Yanqing, the "premature baby" back then, was not the son-in-law's biological son-in-law, Zhao Xunyin was not far from death.
However, she did not expect that Zhao Xunyin would attack the Su family first. In this way, she could not blame her for killing Lu Yanqing in advance and rebel against the generals.
...
The maid who arranged for Lu Yanqing to sleep in a room soon came back and whispered: "Big grandma, I've fainted."
Su Yi smiled with satisfaction, "Let the Jinyiwei come in!"
——
After a stick of incense, Lu Yanqing woke up in the Golden Palace and found that there were all civil and military officials around him. On the dragon throne, his uncle Emperor Guangxi was full of momentum and was powerful without anger. There was obvious disappointment in his eyes when he looked at him.
No matter how stupid Lu Yanqing was, he realized that he was tied to the palace while he was asleep. He had no time to vent his anger on his uncle and realized that his hands were cut back. He knelt on the ground, looked at Emperor Guangxi, and begged: "Uncle... Uncle Mingcha, Yan Qing did nothing, and any coal mine has nothing to do with me."
"Marty Mr. Lu, above the Golden Palace, please correct your name." The former general manager reminded him in a timely manner.
Lu Yanqing followed the good deeds as if he were good, "The emperor clearly observed that the weak ministers were wronged."
The censor immediately sneered, "There are all human and physical evidence. Mr. Lu may as well tell me, how did you wrongly abuse the law?"
Lu Yan glanced at the censor who was talking, with hatred, "Mr. Sun didn't even have a brain in his speech, so he opened his mouth and slandered others. How did he become a censor? Four years ago, I was only twelve years old. How could a child run to such a faraway place in Ningzhou to open a coal mine? Who has all the evidence and physical evidence? Can't I be wronged?"
"you!"
Lord Sun was so angry that his mouth was trembling, "This is clearly a quibble!"
Lu Yanqing glared at him, "Did you see me go to Ningzhou to start a mine with your own eyes?"
Lord Sun gritted his teeth angrily and could only turn his eyes to Emperor Guangxi, hoping that the emperor would personally try the case.
Emperor Guangxi lowered his eyes and looked at the nephew with a low voice, "I have found out that Princess Changping left the city to rest four years ago due to illness, accompanied by her son-in-law. You were not in the capital during that period, where did you go?"
Lu Yanqing answered with confidence, "I just went out to play with a few friends."
"Who did you go out with?" Emperor Guangxi asked again.
Lu Yanqing said directly: "Cheng Fei from the Duke of Anguo Mansion and Su Yaojun from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Emperor Guangxi signaled to the commander of the Jinyiwei who was beside Hou, "Go and bring these two people."
