Chapter 62 Rakshasa Cult

Xuan Jiuqing was really serious about looking for the Fountain of Immortality left by the Blood Witch.

Not just for the sake of the current emperor.

It's also for himself.

Xuan Jiuqing was seriously injured, and the prince's men were trying to depose him.

His martial arts skills were wasted.

Although his leg injury healed, his cultivation level could never be restored.

Only the Blood Witch's Immortal Fountain can restore his cultivation.

That's why he worked so hard to find the place where the Blood Witch died.

However, he did not find the place where the Blood Witch died.

Xu Chunhua actually died. Xu Chunhua’s life is actually not important. What is important is that Xu Chunhua actually died in his hands.

But he didn't know anything.

Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Lu Yuan, Xuan Jiuqing intends to have Lu Yuan involved in some way.

After all, the person was sent by Lu Yuan, and died that night.

This is just too much of a coincidence!
He tried to win over Lu Yuan several times, but Lu Yuan rejected him every time.

Although he was deposed and had lost his true energy, he was no longer favored by the emperor.

But he is a prince after all.

The majesty of the royal family cannot be underestimated by anyone.

"Lord Lu, Xu Chunhua had always wanted to stay at the Lu Mansion to reminisce with her sister, but for some reason, your son sent her here overnight, and that's when she met with an accident.

Lu Yuan is highly suspected, Lord Lu will not protect your son! "

Xuan Jiuqing's voice was faint, but it was like thunder in Lu Changqing's ears. Lu Yuan was absolutely innocent in this matter, and he knew his son very well.

What’s more, the person died in Princess Nanyang’s Buddhist temple.

The murderer's method was extremely horrific, and Lu Yuan did not have the means to kill people in this way.

Xuan Jiuqing is targeting Lu Yuan.

He had thought Xuan Jiuqing was a gentleman before.

"I will never shield anyone. I will investigate this matter thoroughly." Lu Changqing spoke in an official tone. He did not show it on his face, but he was actually a little angry in his heart.

Xuan Jiuqing looked at Lu Changqing, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"In that case, I hope Lord Lu can investigate the case fairly!"

Lu Changqing's expression changed slightly.

Then he laughed and said, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is right. I will go and interrogate the people involved in the case now."

Turning around and leaving, Lu Changqing's face suddenly turned gloomy.

What does Xuan Jiuqing mean?
It was clearly hinting that he was targeting Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan was his son...

And this matter obviously has nothing to do with Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan sent Xu Chunhua off, he returned to the Lu Mansion and stayed there the whole night without going out.

Forget it. In order to avoid gossip, I will just ask according to the usual practice!

I just hope Lu Yuan can understand the seriousness of the matter and not be angry with him this time.

After Lu Changqing left, Xuan Jiuqing sat back in his chair, looked out the window, his eyes clear and with a hint of sadness.

He targeted Lu Yuan not just to change the subject, but more because he disliked Lu Yuan.

Especially what Xu Qiuyue said, that her husband can protect her for the rest of her life.

He wanted to see how Lu Yuan would protect her throughout her life.

A faint smile appeared on Xuan Jiuqing's lips, but there was a cold light in his eyes that made people shudder.

"Brother, I didn't think this through and I've caused trouble for you."

Princess Nanyang said to Xuan Jiuqing with an apologetic look on her face.

"If someone wants to plot against us, it's useless no matter how much we guard against him. I heard before that the prince has a good relationship with some people in the Rakshasa Sect, but unfortunately, there is no evidence."

"Brother, the prince has gone too far. He has already pushed you to this point, and he still wants to kill you all."

Princess Nanyang was a little angry. "By the way, Xu Chunhua's injury can be said to be caused by Lu Yuan, or it can be said to be caused by the murderer.

After all, Xu Chunhua was tied up and sent here by Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan is a vengeful person. The Xu family swallowed up his money, so he couldn't help but hold a grudge in his heart."

Princess Nanyang's sad face suddenly broke into a smile.

"Brother is wise."

……

Lu Mansion.

"You bastard, you obviously knew that this matter had nothing to do with Yuan'er, but you actually locked Yuan'er up in the government office. You are really going too far!"

This was the first time Zhu Rong spoke harshly to Lu's father.

In the past, Mr. Lu was always right.

But this time, Father Lu was clearly not in the right.

At most, Lu Yuan has some moral flaws, but he would never kill anyone.

What's more, the person was sent to the princess alive and well.

Maybe the princess killed the man.

"The people are angry. Xu Chunhua died in such a miserable way. People outside are saying that Yuaner beat her like this. Many people also saw Yuaner tying Xu Chunhua up and giving her to the princess. I did this for Yuaner's own good."

Lu Changqing said somewhat helplessly.

"What do you mean by 'for Yuan'er's own good'? You know the prison cells in the county government are very damp and extremely cold. Yuan'er has been afraid of the cold since he was a child. When has he ever suffered such hardship?

Moreover, Liu Ping cheated on him and spent 10,000 taels of gold on him, but he didn't hit Liu Ping, so how could he hit Xu Chunhua? The servants around him can all testify to this."

Zhu Rong said unhappily.

"The servant Jia Yi said in court that Lu Yuan had beaten Xu Chunhua, and several servants and maids changed their stories, saying that they saw Yuan'er whipping Xu Chunhua. The whip was also found in Yuan'er's villa."

"Lu Yuan, do you believe what you said? Yuaner stayed at home all night last night and didn't go to the villa. How could he beat Xu Chunhua?"

Ever since Zhu Rong experienced the incident with Liu Ping.

My impression of Lu Yuan has changed greatly.

In the past, she thought that the upright and selfless Lu Changqing would be deceived by a woman like Liu Ping.

Lu Yuan, who looks lazy, is willing to sell his shop for Lu Changqing, and even pay for the road construction so that those people don't have to borrow money.

He also spent a lot of money to help Lu Changqing build a waterwheel.

Now the waterwheel is almost ready.

In Zhu Rong's opinion, Lu Yuan has changed a lot.

This matter is strange no matter how you look at it.

And she could clearly know that Lu Changqing also knew that Lu Yuan was not the murderer, but still chose to lock Lu Yuan in the cell.

"Ugh!"

Lu Changqing knew that Lu Yuan was in such trouble only because he refused Xuan Jiuqing's solicitation.

Lu Yuan's mother Zhu Rong was a county lady, and her father was Prince Ning'an.

Zhu Rong is the legitimate daughter of Prince Ning'an.

Lu Yuan is the grandson of King Ning'an.

Although he was only a small county magistrate, he was not worth winning over.

But Lu Yuan is valuable.

"Madam, I did this to protect Yuan'er. If I criticize him, naturally no one else will. These days, you can ask Qiuyue to send him some clothes and food! I will find the real murderer as soon as possible and clear Yuan'er's name."

Lu Changqing said helplessly.

He is really busy!
He now has to investigate the population and find out the members of Rakshasa Sect so as to find the real culprit.

Only then could Lu Yuan be released.

"Do you need to tell me? Qiuyue has already gone to deliver the meal."

When Zhu Rong heard Lu Changqing's relaxed tone, her attitude also softened a lot.
