After Lu Pingzhou finished speaking, he looked at the person opposite him, "The Queen Mother asked you to lurk in the Duke's Mansion, and the purpose was to make you find a way to destroy the entire Su family, right?"

I had known that Lu Pingzhou was a hidden person, so it was not surprising that he could find out his identity, but Aunt Qiu didn't expect it to be so soon.

She nodded without hesitation and nodded.

What the empress dowager most worried about before her death was her son's country.

So in order to stabilize the country, she made many follow-up arrangements, and preventing Mr. Lu from handing over the secret order of the late emperor was the first, and finding an opportunity to destroy the entire Su family was the second.

However, after Duke Su did not participate in the government affairs, he seemed to be more shameless and unscrupulous, but in fact, he was more cautious than before.

Because there is no need to participate in politics, no one in the family will cause major disasters in government affairs and let people catch the blame. Duke Su is sometimes shameless and is also a little irrelevant little fight.

As of now, it is impossible for the Su family to cause the disaster of extermination. If they want it to overturn overnight, they can only take the initiative to attack.

If you take the initiative, you can only take the path of burying the mine.

Thinking of this, Aunt Qiu had to admire Lu Pingzhou's ability to plan and actually thought of this step early in the morning.

Aunt Qiu asked him, "If you destroy the Su family, aren't you afraid of implicating the Lu family?"

"Maybe there were still concerns before." Lu Pingzhou chuckled, "But now, you are the one who buried the mine, and you are the one who caused the thunder at that time. What's the matter with the Lu family?"

“…” Aunt Qiu sighed, “Everyone in the world praises the courage of war, and no one knows Shu Fan’s plan.”

Shu Fan is the face of Lu Pingzhou.

After a pause, Aunt Qiu asked him again, "I know I am the Empress Dowager, why are you willing to cooperate with me?"

She thought that Lu Pingzhou would cancel this plan because of his hatred for the Queen Mother.

Lu Pingzhou only answered one sentence, "The Lu family is loyal to the great Chu country."

The loyal one is the country, not a specific emperor, nor the queen mother, so the natural responsibility of the Lu clan is to protect the country.

It is precisely because of this that we can easily put the grudges against the Empress Dowager aside while hating her to the core, cooperate with her to fight against the Su family.

"I understand." Aunt Qiu nodded.

I understand why the Empress Dowager insisted on letting the emperor make the Duke of Zhongguo before her death, and why did she say that the Lu family has been loyal for generations.

The loyalty of the Lu family is engraved in the bones. Even if the incumbent emperors have many doubts and bad habits about their family, once the country is in trouble, the Lu family will still stand up without hesitation.

This is true for Mr. Lu, and so is the brothers Lu Pingzhou and Lu Xingzhou.

...

After Aunt Qiu returned home, she went to Su Yu's Tinglanyuan as soon as possible. First, she asked about her recovery from her injuries, and second, she had some words to remind her, such as not being able to approach the ancestral temple at will.

However, as soon as she entered the yard, she found that the yard was full of cold-faced guards, standing straight, looking straight ahead, and the evil aura emitted from her body was intimidating.

Aunt Qiu immediately shook her teeth and tied knots, "What's wrong with this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a stern shout from inside, "Prepare me and torture me until she confesses!"

It was Su Hongqi's voice.

Aunt Qiu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Without waiting for her to react, Su Yu had been dragged out by several guards. Her body was tied tightly with ropes, and her hands and feet could not move at all.

Seeing Aunt Qiu huddled by the gate of the yard, Su Yu immediately became excited, "Mom, save me, save me, I don't want to be beaten to death by them."

Aunt Qiu immediately understood that Su Yu had probably exposed something during her time when she went out, or perhaps Su Hongqi found out something through the assassination, so she tied up Su Yu without saying a word.

Aunt Qiu was at a loss and looked at Su Hongqi with tears in her eyes, "Master, what's going on?"

Su Hongqi held the sword around his waist with his right hand, his eyes cold, "What's going on? Take the person back for the first trial."

"Mom——" Su Yu struggled and said, "The eldest young master said that I directed and acted with a bitter trick. I didn't, I didn't. In order to save Xiao Si, I was so injured that I almost saved my life. How could it be a bitter trick?"

"Big, young master, are there any misunderstandings in this?" Aunt Qiu's mouth was trembling.

After years of training, she has mastered the character of "weakness and incompetence" and her acting skills are just right.

The look that Su Hongqi cast was about to smile or not, and there was a gloomy feeling for no reason, "Where is a false confession under severe punishment? If Aunt Qiu wants to know if it is a misunderstanding, why not follow and take a look?"

When Su Yu heard this, he felt that the wound on his chest that had just recovered was vaguely painful again, his eyes turned red, and he kept asking Aunt Qiu for help.

Aunt Qiu pursed her lips, and after a while, she said something, "The eldest young master wants to arrest someone, you have to come up with evidence, right? The eldest young master saved the fourth young master that day. We don't know the specific situation, but the fourth young master is the clearest. Now you want to take the person away with a bitter plan. The government still needs conclusive evidence to arrest him, not to mention that the eldest young master is the younger sister of your mother. If you do this, aren't you afraid that the fourth young master will be disappointed?"

These words may be useful to Duke Su Guoguo. After all, that person's protection of his youngest son is unique in the world, but when he comes to Su Hongqi, the other party will not buy it at all. "If Xiao Si knew that the eldest sister he had always trusted had acted in a bitter trick to deceive him, it would only be even more heartbroken."

Seeing that he could not save someone, Aunt Qiu could only turn her eyes to Su Yu, staring at her, whispering warmly, and began to hypnotize, "Don't be afraid of Yu'er, we have never done it, we have never done it, and even if we are tortured, we can't confess our guilt. God has eyes, and there will always be someone who will clear your innocence."

Su Yu was hypnotized by Aunt Qiu for many years and was easily caught. He was stunned and nodded to Aunt Qiu's voice. Then he closed his eyes and fainted.

In the eyes of Su Hongqi and several guards, this person was mostly caused by pain in the wound.

Su Hongqiban's serious face was not moved at all, and he directly ordered, "Take it away!"

"Big Young Master..." Aunt Qiu chased after her for a while, deliberately tripping and falling to the flower table.

Su Hongqi looked back at her and remembered that his mother often called this aunt a useless fool. Now it seems that it is really useless.

The big ones are useless, while the small ones are ambitious. In order to compete for favor, they dare to make a decision on Xiao Si.

court death!

...

The arrest of Su Yu means that the possibility of the Lu family's plan being exposed increases.

Aunt Qiu knew that Su Hongqi was not easy to deal with. Even if she didn't arrest her, she would definitely find someone to stare at her in secret. She was inconvenient to see Lu Pingzhou again. She worked hard to deliver the news to the Lu family and asked the Lu family to send someone to Maitreya Mountain to invite Su Yaoqi back.

Lu Pingzhou didn't want to cause trouble, but out of cooperative relationships, he still gave an order and went back one by one. In the end, the person who went to Maitreya Mountain had nothing to do with the Lu family. Even if the Su family had the ability to do it, they could not find out.

When Su Yaoqi heard that his elder sister was arrested, he frowned and went to the master to claim a leave of absence. He rode a fast horse back that day.

Su Guozheng was happy that his youngest son took the initiative to go home, but his son poured a basin of cold water on his son, "Dad, why did you catch the eldest sister?"

Duke Su looked at Su Hongqi on the side.

Su Hongqi explained: "Xiao Si, don't be deceived by her. The assassination at the foot of Maitreya Mountain that day was just an arrangement for the snake and scorpion woman to win your trust and then be favored by her father. You can't see through such a simple trick?"

Su Yaoqi looked bad and turned his eyes to Duke Su, "That day, my father also saw him in the monastery. How bad was the eldest sister injured? Our family is not a harem. Who would be so stupid that he didn't even want his life to compete for favor?"

Su Hongqi looked "You are too young" and said, "There are so many people in the world who use any means to achieve their goals, not to mention..." He paused, "How many good people are there in the Su family except you?"

In the Su family's environment, those who can't fight are dead, and those who stay are all energetic.

Su Hongqi did not deny that he was not a good person, so he would not use kindness to guess Su Yu's motives. From the beginning, he heard that Su Yu was injured in order to save Xiao Si, he was full of doubts and secretly searched, and finally found traces. However, there was no conclusive evidence at the moment.

However, even if the evidence is insufficient, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go.

"No, it's impossible." Su Yaoqi insisted, "Dad, brother, believe me, the eldest sister is really innocent. No one knows better than me about the situation at the foot of Maitreya that day. If the killer had been arranged by her, it would be impossible for her to face her without any mercy."

Seeing that Su Hongqi was emotional, Su Yaoqi could only turn his hopes to being a father, "Dad, please help me persuade my elder brother. If something happens to my elder sister because of being suspected, I will feel uneasy."

Duke Su raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed: "Since Xiao Si said she was innocent, then release him immediately."

As he said that, he took a special look at Su Hongqi.

Su Hongqi immediately understood his father's intention and finally let go: "You have come down the mountain for her, so I'll let her go for the time being."
