Chapter 115 He Can't Escape Death
This statement shocked everyone present.
Fang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then asked again: "What did you mean just now?"
Lu Si held the prepared evidence high above her head and said, "I am here for justice. Even if I am killed in court today, I will never back down!"
Mrs. Lu just came to her senses from her shock and slapped Lu Si's face several times, "Kang'er is your relative from the same mother, how could you treat him like this!
Instead of standing up for his own family, he is always looking outward!
Oh my God, I feel so ashamed towards the ancestors of the Lu family for giving birth to such a disobedient and unfilial child!
My Lord, this bitch has gone mad. She hates everyone in our Lu family, so her testimony is not valid!"
Half of Lu Si's face quickly became red and swollen. She lowered her head and let her mother vent her anger.
Giving testimony in court is for the sake of justice.
Not resisting, besides being heartbreaking, could also be considered as preserving the last bit of affection between them.
Mrs. Lu fell back exhausted. She had scolded and beaten him. She had no other choice but to turn around and hug her son and cry bitterly, "We have such a hard life..."
Yao Fu hid outside for a long time.
Seeing so many people speaking up for justice and denouncing the bully, she was no longer afraid. She rushed to Lu Jiankang and slapped him in the face.
"This is for myself," she slapped him again before he could react, "This is for my brother! His future is ruined because of you!"
She pulled a lame boy from the crowd and said to him, "Brother, they are right, what is there to not face?
Those are the people who should be ashamed and repent. They have done evil things, so why should we bear the consequences ourselves?
My father always said, 'Be honest and upright, and never let others down.' We cannot change our fate, so we just need to be ourselves."
The boy touched her head and said, "Fuer is right. Brother is overthinking."
He looked outside.
Qiao Yunzhen and Lin Yuxiang were waiting outside with their guards and a few other people. They were all ruffians who had followed Lu Jiankang in doing evil for many years.
My sister was almost bullied, and the revenge for his broken leg should be settled in a fair and dignified manner.
At this moment, an unexpected person appeared outside the court.
The man, dressed in a green robe and with a determined look on his face, strode in front of everyone.
Someone looked at him for a long time, and suddenly asked the head of the Lu family: "Hey, old man, that...he looks like your eldest brother!"
The patriarch was helped forward and finally saw the man's face clearly.
He stepped back suddenly, raised his cane and pointed at the man, saying: "He...he..."
The man presented a piece of evidence to Fang Shuo, "I was once the eldest grandson of the Lu family. Eight years ago, I took the blame for Lu Jiankang and was expelled from the clan.
My father took pity on me because I was alone and helpless, so he asked to leave home, but he was assassinated by thieves on the way.
I was young at the time and unable to avenge my father, so I had to endure it.
I now present the evidence of the evil deeds of the Lu mother and son. I hope you will enforce the law impartially and punish the evildoers! "
If Madam Lu and Lu Jiankang could still place their hopes on the clan before, the eldest grandson has returned, and there is evidence that the murder of the eldest son is related to them.
After repeated pushes, the head of the Lu family will no longer devote all the family's strength to protecting a descendant who has a bad record and is unlikely to achieve anything.
Yuan Qing glanced to the side, indicating that the time had come for the eunuch to appear to announce the decree.
The one sent from Beijing was Yunxi.
He walked into the hall holding the imperial edict and, in front of many people, read out the law that the emperor had ordered the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to pass after joint consultation.
The urgent measures sent this time were several penalties that were changed specifically to target persecution of women.
Fang Shuo held the imperial edict high, walked to the center of the hall, and stood with his back to the plaque.
"Your Highness Fang Shuo, I have been ordered to investigate the case. After investigation, I have found that the criminal Lü Jiankang is guilty of oppressing the people and other crimes. According to the law, he will be caned 100 times and hanged in the autumn.
His mother failed to fulfill her responsibility of raising him, but because of her old age, she was sentenced to three years of detention;
The rest of the accomplices will be exiled 2,000 miles to distant and evil states!"
With so much irrefutable evidence, Lu Jiankang could not escape the death penalty.
He knew that his road was over, so he suddenly stood up, pushed Madam Lu aside, and walked towards Fang Shuo.
Fang Shuo looked at him suspiciously, "What else do you have to say?"
He stared at Fang Shuo with his eyes fixed, his expression suddenly calmed down, and he couldn't help but sneer a few times.
He's not at the point of no return yet!
And that person, she said she would protect him, even if there is no hope, he will drag a few people to be buried with him!
Yuan Qing walked out with the support of Mu Xiaoxiao.
She exempted Fang Shuo from the formalities and walked straight to Lu Jiankang and asked, "Do you still remember me?"
Lu Jiankang hated her so much that he would naturally never forget her.
"It seems that I remember it," Yuan Qing shook his head and chuckled, then asked him, "You want to live, right?"
Lu Jiankang looked up suddenly.
I only heard her say in a very low voice: "My father is the prime minister of the current dynasty, the head of all officials, it is easy to protect someone."
Having whetted his appetite, Yuan Qing said no more.
She shook her head with a little regret, "It's just that things have come to this point, and there's nothing I can do."
After saying this, he left the government office with Mu Xiaoxiao.
There was the sound of iron chains colliding violently behind him, and the whimpering sound of Lu Jiankang with his mouth covered.
In fact, Yuan Qing did all this on purpose.
If it were just Lu Jiankang alone, it wouldn't be worth all the trouble.
Firstly, the Lu family has been accumulating power for many years and is not considered a small family in Jiangzhou. In order to preserve the Lu family's foundation, it must be cut off completely.
This not only leaves room for maneuver, but also serves as a means of promoting the new law.
Furthermore, as a discarded useless chess piece, Lu Jiankang was bound to be killed to silence him.
It will be much easier to get information from him if you wait until he is in dire straits.
The Lou family avoids suspicion, the Lu family cuts off the relationship, and the villagers put pressure on...
She wanted to cut off all of Lu Jiankang's chances of survival and force him to give up clues about the person behind the scenes in exchange for his survival.
Yuan Qing did not look at the subsequent processing results.
……
On the third day after Lu Jiankang was imprisoned, the jailers thought nothing was wrong, so they relaxed their vigilance a little and gathered together to drink and eat meat.
Two dark shadows took advantage of the night to eliminate the government guards and entered the prison.
The noise woke up the dazed Lu Jiankang. He quickly got up and huddled in a corner, staring outside.
In this situation, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
When he saw two people approaching with knives in hand, he bit his lips hard and listened to the ticking sound becoming clearer and clearer.
The man swung the long knife, and a cold light flashed through the darkness.
Lu Jiankang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
wrong!
They want to kill him to silence him!
There was no candle in the cell. The two men in black couldn't find Lu Jiankang's exact location, and their steps sounded a little anxious.
The man asked in a low voice: "What should we do? Time is running out."
The woman held the poison needle in her hand and said in a cold tone, "We must solve this trouble, and we must dig him out!"
