Liu's House

The housekeeper reported to his master with a very bad face, and said, "Master, there is someone from the Ministry of Punishment!"

How could the Ministry of Punishment come to Liu Mansion for no reason? It must be because it was related to the case of the Lin family slandering Princess Guguo.

However, coming to Liu's house means that Liu's house may have been found.

Liu Xinren said to the housekeeper with a sullen face, "The people who come here are not good, go and send them away."

The housekeeper said, "But, my lord, the person here is the Minister of Criminal Justice. This... this old slave is not easy to get rid of!"

The minister of the Ministry of Punishment is from the second rank, and has the same official position as his master.

Therefore, it is not that he can be sent away by a servant!

Liu Xinren thought about it for a while, and said to the housekeeper, "Just say your master, I'm ill, and it's hard to see guests!"

The butler thought for a while and said, "Yes, sir!"

After the housekeeper went out, he said to the Minister of Punishment, "I'm sorry, Lord Dai, my master is in poor health, and it is inconvenient to see guests! If there is anything important for Lord Dai, the old slave can pass it on to my master!"

When Lord Dai listened to the housekeeper's words, there was a faint anger on his face.

This Liu Xinren was not ill before, but not after, but after the housekeeper went in, he fell ill.

Hehe, he's fooling a three-year-old.

Lord Dai put the cup in his hand on the table, and said solemnly, "Since Lord Liu is seriously ill, this official, as a colleague, should be more concerned. Come on, housekeeper, take this official to see Lord Liu!"

Hearing that Lord Dai was going to see his master, Butler Liu was taken aback.

He hurriedly stopped and said, "Sir Dai, no need. My master has contracted a cold, and the doctor said that this kind of cold is contagious, so, for the sake of your health, Lord Dai, it's better if you don't go!"

Lord Dai waved his hand and said, "Hey, what are you talking about as a servant. My colleague is sick, and since you are here, why not visit?"

As he said that, he headed towards Master Liu's house, but Butler Liu didn't have time to stop him.

However, he didn't go very far, and Master Liu appeared with the help of his servants.

"Cough..., I don't know... Cough..." Master Liu said a few words, and then he coughed violently, his face was a little pale, and he continued to pant, "I don't know if the Lord came to the door, this official is at a loss... Cough cough... Yuan Ying, really disrespectful!"

Lord Dai took a few steps forward, clasped his hands together and said, "Master Liu, it's the official who came to disturb you suddenly, I'm really rude!"

Immediately, he looked at Master Liu's complexion, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he suddenly said with some doubts, "Master Liu, you were fine yesterday, why are you ill?"

Butler Liu immediately stepped forward and explained, "Sir Dai, last night my master accidentally got cold wind into his body, and he developed a high fever in the second half of the night. This morning, the heat just subsided slightly, but the doctor said that he still needs to rest in bed!"

Immediately, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, the doctor ordered you to rest in bed, how can you get out of bed?"

Lord Liu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, cough..., I'm here on behalf of the Lord, I should have come out to greet him!"

After he said this, a maid hurried out and said anxiously, "Master, it's time for you to take medicine!"

Lord Liu immediately sternly reprimanded, "What's it called, cough..., I didn't see my master... cough... Are you entertaining guests?"

Although it looks stern on the surface, it sounds like a feeling of powerlessness.

The maid seemed a little aggrieved, but she insisted, "But, sir, if you don't take the medicine, it will be cold!"

After listening to Lord Dai, he frowned, and then said, "Then Lord Liu, you should rest first, take good care of your body, and I will leave!"

After listening to Master Liu, he was delighted in his heart, but his face did not show it. He said, "That generation of adults, this official will not give it away!"

After taking Mr. Dai to leave, Mr. Liu, who was supported by his servants, immediately bent his hands and twitched his subordinates. The whole person seemed to be alive and well. There was no sign of being sick, but he stared coldly at the distant back. .

"Go down!" Lord Liu ordered.

"Yes!" The servants responded immediately.

When there was no one else around, Butler Liu said with a smile, "It's still your wise man, this time on stage, let this generation leave!"

Master Liu snorted coldly, "If you don't do this, Dai Lixin, this stinky stone, will definitely not want to leave here!"

Butler Liu was still very worried, "Master, Lord Dai has already left and should not come again. But, will Lord Dai give up on this?"

Mr. Liu said with some worry in his heart, "I've been deceived this time, I just don't know, will anyone come up in a while?"

The butler was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion, "Master, what do you mean?"

Liu Xinren smiled bitterly and said, "This time we are messing with Princess Gu, and yesterday those people in Linjia Village pointed out on the spot that they went to the capital in order to save their lives! Now that Lord Dai appears in Liu's residence, It means that someone has found out that this matter involves me. It's just because there is not enough evidence, so I didn't force me to go to the Ministry of Justice for a hearing! "

Speaking of this, he sighed heavily, and then said, "But, there may be no escape!" His tone was full of regret.

The housekeeper was also worried for a while, and he asked his master, "Master, what did the mother say?"

Of course, the empress in his mouth was referring to Liu Cairen.

Liu Xinren frowned and did not speak.

In the palace, he and his daughter discussed the countermeasures, how to put all the responsibility on Xiao Jingyu.

However, what worried him was that Jiang Zhennan, Lin Yuelan, and His Majesty were not good people to fool.

However, no matter if they are good fools or not, for the sake of the Liu family and for the daughter in the palace, he must take a bet.

Immediately, he instructed the butler to say, "Butler, get ready, sir, I'm going to the punishment department!"

The housekeeper was obviously surprised, and he asked in confusion, "But, sir, didn't you just refuse to go to the punishment department on behalf of your lord? Why is it now?" You want to go to the punishment department again.

Butler Liu said, "You don't understand. Go, arrange for a few people to go with me, sir!"

"Yes!" The butler replied respectfully.

penal department

Not long after Dai Lixin returned to the Punishment Department, someone came to report, "Sir, Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Works is here!"

Dai Lixin seemed to have expected something, and he said unsurprisingly, "Then invite him in."

Liu Xinren was helped into the punishment department, and Lord Dai immediately greeted him and said, "Master Liu, you are not feeling well, so rest well! Why are you still coming to the punishment department?"

Liu Xinren coughed a few words, "Cough cough..., it's okay!" Immediately, he changed the subject and asked, "I don't know if you are coming to this official mansion on behalf of your lord?"

After listening to Lord Dai, he smiled and said, "Did Lord Liu come to the door because of this?"

"That's right!" Liu Xinren nodded.

When Lord Dai said this, his expression became restrained, and he said solemnly, "I don't know if Mr. Liu, did you hear the news that there was someone robbing prison in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment last night, and the person who robbed the prison was not robbing people, but," said here , he stared at Master Liu sharply, and said sharply, "Kill it!"

Mr. Liu looked at the expression on Mr. Dai's face in shock, and found that he had no trace of deceit. He was very puzzled, "This... how is this possible?" The voice was a bit sharp, but it could reveal Get some surprise, panic, and anxiety!

Afterwards, he felt something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Then... Who are those people? What prison are they robbing?"

It means, have the identities of the prisoners been found out, and who are these people who want to kill them?

Lord Dai said, "The identities of those who robbed the prison have not yet been found out, and they have escaped. However, the people who these people want to kill are the Lin family and the villagers of Lin Village who slandered and framed Princess Gu!"

Hearing that it was the Lin family and the Lin family villagers who were silenced, Master Liu said in surprise, "What?"

In my heart, I guessed suspicious objects in my heart.

The Lin family went to the capital to sue Lin Yuelan, and he and Xiao Jingyu planned and instructed.

Knowing this, except for him is Xiao Jingyu.

So, if he didn't send someone, then Xiao Jingyu sent someone.

Thinking of this, the taste in this Master Liu's heart can be described as sour.

He and his daughter originally planned to break into the prison and kill those who were killed. However, his daughter was demoted from one of the four concubines to Liu Cairen, and her rights in the palace were also taken away. On his side, because of the prison They have been strictly guarded, and they are not fully sure. They send people to go to jail and kill people.

Therefore, after much deliberation, the best way is to put all the responsibility on Xiao Jingyu.

However, before he took any action, Xiao Jingyu had already sent someone there.

Liu Xinren asked carefully, "Those people in the prison..."

Lord Dai said angrily, "They have all been silenced!"

"What about the prisoners?" Liu Xinren asked again.

"It's all gone!" Lord Dai said casually.

"They've all disappeared?" Master Liu's eyes widened in disbelief. "The prison cells are strictly guarded. How did they disappear?"

When he asked this, in fact, he was already secretly relieved.

Because, to his understanding, "disappeared" undoubtedly means that the Ministry of Justice did not catch anyone and escaped.

After listening to Master Liu's question, Lord Dai looked at Liu Xinren with doubtful eyes, and he said suspiciously, "Master Liu, you seem to be very concerned about this?"

Liu Xinren was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said stiffly, "It's about the majesty of the royal family, this officer must be concerned about it."

Mr. Dai didn't seem to suspect anything, and then he seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, yes, Mr. Liu. This official received a report that your eldest nephew had been to Anding County. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Xinren was taken aback!

Immediately, he asked angrily, "Who said that, Bin'er has never left the capital, why did he ever go to Anding County?"

Linjia Village belongs to Anding County.

When Lord Dai asked this question, he was in essence suspecting that he was suspected of this incident.
