Chapter 1561 - 1561: Investigate!

Translator: Lonelytree

Lord Liu was a little worried.” We managed to deceive him this time. I wonder if there will be more people coming later?”

The butler was stunned and asked in confusion,” Old Master, what do you mean?”

Liu Xinren smiled bitterly and said,” This time, we have offended the princess of Guguo. Moreover, in order to survive, those people from Lin Family Village pointed out on the spot that they went to the capital because someone ordered them! Now that Lord Dai has appeared in the Liu Residence, it means that someone has found out that this matter is related to me. It’s just that there’s not enough evidence, so they didn’t force me to go to the Ministry of Justice for a hearing!’

At this point, he sighed heavily and said,” But we might not be able to escape!’ His tone was filled with regret.

The butler was also worried. He asked his master,” Master, what did the Empress say?”

The empress he was referring to was naturally Liu Cairen.

Liu Xinren frowned and did not speak.

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

However, what made him particularly worried was that Jiang Zhennan, Lin Yuelan, and His Majesty were not easy to fool.

However, regardless of whether they were easy to fool or not, for the sake of the Liu family and for the sake of his daughter in the palace, he had to take a gamble.

Then, he instructed the butler,” Butler, get ready. I’m going to the Ministry of Justice! ”

The butler was obviously surprised. He asked doubtfully,” But, Master, didn’t you just refuse to meet Lord Dai? Why...”

Butler Liu said,” You don’t understand. Go, arrange for a few people to go with Master!”

“Yes, sir!” The butler replied respectfully.

Ministry of Justice

He and his daughter had originally planned to break into the prison and kill those people. However, his daughter had been demoted from one of the four concubines, and her power in the palace had also been taken away. On his side, because the prison had been strictly guarded, he did not have full confidence in sending people to break into the prison and kill them. Therefore, after thinking about it, the best way was to push all the responsibility to Xiao Jingyu.

However, before he could take action, Xiao Jingyu had already sent someone over.

Liu Xinren asked carefully,” Then those people in the prison...” Lord Dai said angrily,” They have all been silenced!”

“Then what about those prison raiders?” Liu Xinren asked again.

“They have all disappeared!” Lord Dai said casually.

“Disappeared?” Lord Liu’s eyes widened in disbelief.” The prison of the Ministry of Justice is strictly guarded. How did they disappear?”

When he asked this question, he was actually secretly relieved.

Because, to his understanding,” disappearing ” meant that the Ministry of Justice had failed to catch the culprit.

When Lord Dai heard Lord Liu’s question, he looked at Liu Xingren with confusion. He asked suspiciously,” Lord Liu, why do you seem so concerned about this?”

Liu Xinren was slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted and said stiffly,”

This concerns the dignity of the royal family, so I have to be concerned.” Lord Dai didn’t seem to suspect anything. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said,” Oh, right, Lord Liu. I received a report that your eldest nephew had been to Anding County. Is that true?”

Liu Xinren was stunned!

Then, he asked angrily,” Who said that? Bin ‘Er has never left the capital.

When did he go to An Ding County?”

Lin Family Village belonged to An Ding County.

By asking this question, Lord Dai was basically suspecting him of being involved in this incident..
