Chapter 702 Dog bites dog, a mouth full of hair

Mrs. Liu came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "How did I know that the hairpin was there? Maybe someone stole it and deliberately framed me. It must be Bai Ruozhu, there are several guards with good martial arts around her. "

Liu Zongze glared at Mrs. Liu and wanted to scold her for being so impatient, but he couldn't talk casually in court, so he had to hold back.

"I heard that you don't care about credibility in business. You rented a shop to Bai Ruozhu. When her business was good, you took it back. Is this true?" Lu Minglang asked.

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, that shop is to be given to my sister-in-law to learn how to manage, so that she can serve as a dowry shop for her in the future. Moreover, I have to go to the Chamber of Commerce to pay compensation in the next two days, and there is no Just don’t let Bai Ruozhu do business.”

Lu Minglang asked a few more questions, but Mrs. Liu kept insisting that she didn't know how the hairpin got into Li Meiniang's hands, and said that she didn't know Li Meiniang before, and it was the first time they met at Qiao's house.

The catcher came in and whispered a few words to Lu Minglang. Lu Minglang's eyes lit up, "Announce the witness."

A waiter came in. He saluted Lu Minglang, and then quickly said that he saw Mrs. Liu and Li Meiniang going to their teahouse for tea last month. Although they went to a private room, he still remembered it because Madam Liu looked at his luxurious clothes and didn't even reward him with half a penny.

"Mrs. Liu, now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what's your explanation?" Lu Minglang shouted, "Liu Tongpan, Li Mei's family has your personal belongings, and your wife is colluding with her, what's your explanation?"

Naturally, the two of them refused to admit it. Lu Minglang became angry and said, "Mrs. Liu, now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, if you don't admit it, you will have no choice but to be tortured." Then he threw away the order and asked the court to hit twenty big boards.

Mrs. Liu's face turned pale with fright. Can she still survive after being hit by twenty? Even if she didn't die, she would still fall into trouble, so she panicked and suddenly said: "This has nothing to do with me and my master at this time. Someone is framing us. The child in Li Meiniang's belly is Lu Wenlin's!"

There was an uproar in the hall. Li Meiniang turned pale with fright and muttered: "It's not him, it's not him. I don't know him at all."

Lu Wenlin also hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please tell me clearly, I don't know Mr. Li at all."

"Mrs. Liu, didn't you say you don't know Li Meiniang? How do you know who the child in her belly is? If you said it was Lu Wenlin's, why didn't you tell the Qiao family and act as guarantee for the Li family and the Qiao family? You What kind of peace of mind do you have? Come here and execute me!" Lu Minglang shouted.

The official slapped Mrs. Liu directly in the lobby. The crisp sound of the big paddle hitting her skin made the hairs stand on end. Liu Zongze had been pleading for his wife, but the witnesses and physical evidence were all there. The governor had the right to torture her. .

Mrs. Liu burst into tears, and finally shouted desperately that Lu Wenlin had asked her to do it, and the child was Lu Wenlin's.

Lu Minglang looked at Li Meiniang and asked with a cold face: "Whose child is it in your belly? Is it Liu Zongze or Lu Wenlin?"

Li Meiniang became anxious and immediately said: "It's not Lu Wenlin, it's not Lu Wenlin."

She really had feelings for Lu Wenlin, otherwise she would not have helped Lu Wenlin kill Qiao Qiyu, and she would not have refused to testify against Lu Wenlin until now.

By the time Jian Qi reported the news to Bai Ruozhu again, a picture of dog eating dog had already appeared in the hall.

"Master Lu tortured Lu Wenlin. He couldn't bear it, so he confessed that Mrs. Liu had assigned him to kill Qiao Qiyu. He also said that Mrs. Liu gave him medicine and asked him to put it into the food and drinks. Then Qiao Qiyu listened to him in a daze. The two sides of the casino are having a huge quarrel," Jian Qi said.

There was a smile on Bai Ruozhu's lips, "Dog bites dog, it's a hairy mouth, let them continue to make trouble. It is estimated that Mr. Lu will take them into prison soon, and then conduct a thorough investigation. Don't make any more moves, otherwise you will be self-defeating, and don't go What did you say to the catcher?"

"Yes." After Jian Qi said that, he retreated.

Cui Fan glanced here longingly in the yard, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Was he going to be replaced by a secret guard? Then he will only be able to do the simplest nursing errands in the future?

Bai Ruozhu happened to see Cui Fan's absence, and immediately understood his mood at the moment, called him over, and asked: "Cui Fan, I want to give you a task, are you interested in training guards? I don't mean training. Ordinary training, but I hope you can train a group of nursing homes in an organized and disciplined manner, comparable to that of the army."

Cui Fan was stunned, army, how is this possible?

"Are they the guards bought from outside?" he couldn't help but ask.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "Exactly, that's why it's difficult, otherwise wouldn't it be boring? If this happens, you will be the guard commander of the Bai family, and you will arrange all the defense work on the surface. Jian Qi and the others They are all hidden in the dark. Of course, if you are not interested, you can also choose to become Jian Qi's subordinate and work in the dark."

Cui Fan thought about it. Compared with the secret guards living in the dark, the guard commander must be a guard commander. And if he went to Jianqi's side, he would probably be at the bottom. Isn't there a saying? Would you rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail?

"Miss, I am willing to train as a guard." He thought about it and said.

Immediately, Bai Ruozhu told him her plan and introduced him to the military training methods in her previous life. Although she had never joined the army, she had at least had military training. She had also watched some movies about the army, so she knew something about it.

Cui Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had been opened up to a whole new field.

In the evening, when Jiang Yichun came back, Bai Ruozhu pulled him and told him about the dog-eating incident between the Liu family and Lu Wenlin. Jiang Yichun laughed and said, "Isn't it what you expected?"

Bai Ruozhu's smiling eyes narrowed, and she took his arm and said, "I'm afraid we have to leave a few days later. I really can't rest assured if this matter is not resolved. You said that now that I have the backing of the Chamber of Commerce, I should temporarily Is it safer?"

Jiang Yichun couldn't help but scratch her nose and said, "You are safe. If I delay, the emperor will punish me."

Bai Ruozhu became worried and asked hurriedly: "Will being three days late affect you?"

Jiang Yichun smiled and rubbed her head, "Fool, I'm teasing you, but it can only be five days late at most."

Bai Ruozhu became happy, but soon became worried and said, "We can't live in the yard anymore. Do you want to buy a big house?"

"No, Su Yuanwai next door is going back to his hometown and plans to rent out his yard. You can just rent it to the guards and servants to live in." Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu's eyes lit up, "Is it just the bad-tempered member Su?"

Jiang Yichun made a hissing gesture, "Please keep your voice down. He has very sharp ears. Be careful not to rent it to you if he hears it."
