Chapter 459: The plan is exposed?
Not long after, Wei Yuan came out of the room with a smile on his face. Seeing Lu Tu's unfriendly gaze, he was startled and trembled all over. He asked in surprise: "Lu, Lu, Captain Lu, you, you, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Tu's gaze was extremely fierce, making him feel like he was facing a tiger - no, even a tiger might not be as fierce as Lu Tu.
If he hadn't constantly reminded himself in his heart that Lu Tu was a captain of the Demon Suppression Division and he was the magistrate of Qingyang County, both of them were officials appointed by the imperial court, and he had never done anything to offend Lu Tu.
Even if you are corrupt...
Even if he was corrupt, he should be in charge of another organization, not the Demon Suppression Division to which Lu Tu belonged!
'Could it be that he saw through my plan?'
Thousands of distracting thoughts emerged in Wei Yuan's mind. After a while, a worry arose in his heart. He was still unwilling to believe it and thought to himself:
'No, even if he thought it was strange that I was willing to give this little ghost the "Gentleman's Words", he shouldn't have thought that I wanted to kill this little ghost!'
He decided to leak the secret to the Prime Minister's daughter and explain everything about Wang Ping'an to her. He wanted to take this opportunity to get close to the Prime Minister's daughter and work harder. If the Prime Minister's daughter needed him, he would have no problem helping her if she sent people to harm Liu Dongzhu and her son.
of course.
He would not do anything to harm Liu Dongzhu and her son.
Once this task is accomplished, even if you cannot get into the prime minister's sight, you can still become a lackey of the prime minister's daughter.
Given the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's daughter, as long as the Prime Minister's daughter says a few good words on his behalf, wouldn't his promotion and wealth be just around the corner?
The most likely scenario is that it is his business and there is no need to inform the prime minister. After all, he is just a small magistrate of Qingyang County, an official as insignificant as a sesame seed.
What kind of person is the prime minister? He is the head of all officials, so how could he care about an official like him who is not in the mainstream?
Perhaps a word from the prime minister is enough to get him promoted and rich.
but.
While he was excited, he was also worried that what he had done would be leaked.
He had never had much dealings with Taoist Xuanqing, Lu Tu, or even Dai Zhishang. Dai Zhishang was okay.
Of course, because the Wang family saved his life and knew that he was the one who harmed Liu Dongzhu and her son, they wanted to avenge them. As long as he found Dai Zhishang's father and said a few soft words, would Dai Zhishang still dare to seek revenge on him?
If it weren't for the monster Dai Tianli in the Dai family, he wouldn't care about the Dai family's revenge at all.
If anyone dares to show his teeth to him, he will pull out all the hair of the person.
But Taoist Xuanqing and Lu Tu are different. In order to stand up for the Wang family, Taoist Xuanqing has the courage to break into the Prime Minister's residence. Even if he is hurt afterwards, he will only lose 20 years of his life.
although.
Twenty years of life is not a small punishment, but compared with the incident of Taoist Xuanqing breaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion, it cannot be said to be unworthy of mention. At least it is not in line with the expectations of most people, and people will misunderstand that the Prime Minister's Mansion is weak and easy to bully.
Come to think of it...
Before Taoist Xuanqing did this, he had already made up his mind and had ordered the matter to be handled in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He didn't dare to think about whether Taoist Xuanqing would have the courage to kill the imperial official once he found out that it was him who killed Liu Dongzhu and her son.
Lu Tu's words...
There are many ways and legitimate reasons for people to kill him! Under all these circumstances, unless he had his head stuck in the door and was extremely brave, how could he not worry about the news that he wanted to kill Liu Dongzhu and her son being leaked?
"My Lord County Magistrate, please take back this copy of Gentleman's Words!"
Liu Dongzhu had a gloomy face. Without waiting for Lu Tu to speak, he handed over the book "Gentleman's Words" in his hand again and said in a bad tone:
"Our Wang family is a small family. Ping An is just an ordinary child. He is not qualified to have a good relationship with you. Your kindness is appreciated by our whole family!"
She was originally struggling over whether to accept this book, "Gentleman's Words", written by a great scholar.
It was the persuasion of Yu Die and others, coupled with her concern for her family's safety. She was afraid that if she had not taught her child well, he would follow in the footsteps of that beast and do things worse than pigs and dogs.
It so happened that this book "The Gentleman's Words" written by a great Confucian scholar could teach her family Ping An to become Confucian gentlemen, that's why she accepted this book "The Gentleman's Words" written by a great Confucian scholar.
Not long ago.
After hearing the conversation between Yu Die and others, she clearly knew what bad intentions Wei Yuan had in sending this book "The Gentleman's Words" written by a great scholar to her family Ping An. She was full of resentment towards Wei Yuan, so how could she be willing to accept Wei Yuan's gift again?
Even though this gift is precious, it is of great help to her family's safety.
She didn't question it. Her family had never offended Wei Yuan, nor had they done anything wrong to Wei Yuan. Why would Wei Ya do such a thing that was worse than pigs and dogs?
It's not that she is not sure whether Yu Die and others' guess is correct. From what Wei Yuan did not long ago, she roughly knows what Wei Yuan is like, which indirectly proves that Yu Die and others' guess is probably correct.
She did not question, nor did she save face for Wei Yuan.
But she knew that officials like Wei Yuan were extremely shrewd people. No matter what she said, they could find countless reasons to refute her and even bite her back.
'This ignorant country woman has repeatedly returned this copy of "The Gentleman's Words" written by a great scholar that I obtained with great difficulty. Does she really think that this copy of "The Gentleman's Words" written by a great scholar is a cheap product that can be easily bought?'
Wei Yuan couldn't help but curse inwardly, very dissatisfied. Liu Dongzhu repeatedly returned the copy of "Gentleman's Words" he gave him, which made it easy for him to imagine how he had gone to any lengths to get this copy of "Gentleman's Words" written by a great scholar. He sneered inwardly:
"If it's not to clear my name, how can you be worthy of reading my book 'Gentleman's Words'?"
"Madam Wang, this book, 'Gentleman's Words', was written by a great scholar. It is a good thing. How can you just say you don't want it?"
Wei Yuan was about to persuade Liu Dongzhu to take back the book "Gentleman's Words" and find out what was going on. Yu Die spoke first and said with a smile:
"This is at least a token of the goodwill of County Magistrate Wei, who wants to establish a good relationship with your family.
If you really believe that Magistrate Wei gave your family this copy of "The Gentleman's Words" in order to use someone else to kill you and your son and use this copy of "The Gentleman's Words" to clear his own name, then you should accept it.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of money for County Magistrate Wei?
Since they are planning to kill you and your son, how can they pretend that this incident never happened and stop planning to kill your family just because you returned the book "Gentleman's Words"? "
"Yu Baihu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand what you mean?"
Wei Yuan's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "What do you mean I want to kill them? I have no grudge against them, why would I want to kill them?"
