This time Liu Qiaoer had nothing to say.
"Lu Yunzheng, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about Yang'er's situation."
Lu Yunzheng straightened his back and took a deep breath. Could he condemn his mother for doing something wrong
Obviously not.
In Fengxin County, when Lu Chengzhi threatened him, he already knew that the Lu family was not a good family.
Even though the Lu family is a century-old family, the aristocratic families do not have the mind and courage to seek welfare for the people. All they want is the glory of the family.
There is no sense of responsibility as a noble family at all.
At the beginning, when he was with Liu Qiaoer, they had already made plans that only he would go to the capital, and Madam Lu and others would not go to the capital.
He was busy with his father's case and asked Liu Qiaoer to persuade Mrs. Lu.
I thought that as the savior of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu would listen to Liu Qiaoer's words.
But he really didn't expect that Mrs. Lu didn't regard her as a benefactor at all.
Now that something has happened, she still blames Liu Qiaoer for not going to Beijing with her.
But Liu Qiaoer had long been freed from slavery, and gave all the money she earned in Fengxin County to him to support their family expenses.
Liu Qiao'er was a good citizen like them. He really didn't understand why Mrs. Lu looked down on Qiao'er.
Could it be that she had forgotten that when their family was in prison, Liu Qiaoer didn't have much money at that time, but she still sent them food and cotton-padded jackets
As the saying goes, a drop of water is repaid with a spring of water.
Lu Yunzheng was also very devastated. He had been very busy during this period, busy saving his father, busy making friends with the powerful in the capital, and busy getting rid of the Lu family.
I thought Mrs. Lu could manage the household well, but I didn't expect this to be the final result.
Mrs. Lu wanted Liu Qiaoer, and Lu Yunzheng felt very distressed.
"Don't blame you. It's my fault. I didn't take good care of you, mother, and Yang'er."
Liu Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he understood.
"Yang'er was indeed beaten to death. Don't you want to seek justice for him? If it were the children of the Lu family, they would always be held responsible for Yang'er's death."
Lu Yunzheng was slightly stunned. Yes, Lu Yunyang’s death could not be in vain. He wanted to seek justice for his brother.
Unexpectedly, while I was distracted, Lu Bingzhi had disappeared.
Xia Ying hurried over to report: "Master, the master has gone to the yard over there."
This is to seek justice for my son.
When studying in the Lu family, all the people I met were children of the Lu family, and the one who could hurt Lu Yunyang was also a child of the Lu family.
Lu Bingzhi went straight to see Master Lu, who was shocked when he heard what he said.
"What? Yunyang was beaten to death? Was it in the academy?"
Lu Bingzhi was so angry that his face turned pale and his beard was trembling.
"My Yang'er is only four years old this year, and he is followed by a servant wherever he goes. If it wasn't for the incident in the academy, how could we not know about other places?"
Master Lu still didn't believe it: "Could it be that the child was naughty and fell from a height and was injured? You said he was beaten to death, do you have any evidence?"
Lu Bingzhi: "My son has a broken rib. If he wasn't beaten, what else could it be? A doctor checked it out, and the doctor is the evidence."
It is a very bad thing that a child of the Lu family beat someone to death, and the person was a child of the Lu family.
Master Lu also had to be cautious: "Then please ask the doctor to come over and testify."
When Lu Yunzheng learned that Lu Bingzhi came to see Master Lu himself, he could no longer contain himself and rushed over with Liu Qiaoer.
"Sir, the doctor is here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
Master Lu looked up at Liu Qiaoer who was following Lu Yunzheng, and revealed a hint of contempt.
"The doctor is so young, maybe she is deliberately shirking her responsibility because her medical skills are not very good."
Compared to Lu Bingzhi and Lu Yunzheng, Liu Qiaoer was not afraid of Master Lu. She smiled delicately, "Master Lu is so old and has experienced a lot. How can he still judge people by appearance? Regardless of whether my medical skills are good or not, we just need to ask a coroner to perform an autopsy, and we can know the cause of death of the young master."
"Just like this..."
In this case, everyone would know that the Lu family's child was beaten to death in the academy, and the brothers killed each other, which would be despised by the world.
"What a sharp-tongued girl! How did you determine that the child was beaten to death?" Master Lu looked unhappy when he was confronted.
Liu Qiaoer said: "When the young master was alive, it might be difficult to tell for a while. Now that he is gone, corpse spots will appear soon. Based on the corpse spots, we can tell if he has any signs of being beaten."
Master Lu had also seen dead bodies and judged cases before, so he naturally knew that what Liu Qiaoer said was correct.
But he still didn't believe that Lu Yunyang was beaten to death.
"Even if he was beaten, maybe he bullied others first, and others fought back and injured him by mistake. How can you conclude that he was beaten to death?"
Liu Qiaoer was so angry that she laughed: "Master Taifu, listen to what you said. Someone was killed by mistake. Why don't you find out the truth? Instead of sitting here and making subjective assumptions, why don't you go to the academy and ask someone."
"Could it be that this is how the Grand Master judged cases in the past?"
Yes, Lu Bingzhi has been here for such a long time, only because Master Lu trusts his own children too much and did not even conduct an investigation.
Upon hearing this, Master Lu became even angrier: "Little girl, do I need you to teach me how to solve a case? Besides, this is our Lu family's business, it has nothing to do with you."
Liu Qiaoer: "I am a doctor. I diagnosed Yang'er's illness. I am a witness, so of course it has something to do with me. If Mr. Lu is willing to report the case to the government, the matter will be handed over to the government. There will be a coroner in the government to perform an autopsy, so it has nothing to do with me."
But Liu Qiaoer looked at Lu Bingzhi and then at Lu Yunzheng, and it seemed that the two of them had no intention of taking the matter to the government.
Master Lu was such a shrewd man that as soon as he saw their attitude, he knew that they just wanted an explanation.
"Master Lu, Yun Zheng? What do you think? What should we do? If you can't write two Lu characters with one stroke, your reputation will be ruined, and there will be no benefit for you."
Liu Qiaoer looked at Lu Yunzheng. She supported reporting the case. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to move out of Master Lu's house and no longer be under his control.
Lu Yunzheng pursed his lips and turned around to report the case, but was stopped by Lu Bingzhi.
"Yun Zheng, I believe that Master Taifu will give us a judgment."
Liu Qiaoer was extremely disappointed. At this moment, she heard a clear voice.
"I was just about to come and pick up someone from our palace, but I didn't expect to hear such a thing. Master Taifu, even if it's the Lu family, you have to handle it impartially."
Liu Qiaoer looked up in surprise. Zhao Ziyu walked in leisurely, waving his fan, accompanied by Bai Chao.
Hong Yuan quickly saluted and called out, "Sir."
Looking at Master Lu again, he ran over and knelt down: "Your humble servant greets the prince."
Lu Yunzheng and his son also knelt down. Only Liu Qiaoer stood there holding Xiaoliu's hand, looking calm.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziyu ignored them and took Liu Qiaoer's hand.
"Come back with me. They can handle their own family affairs by themselves. I believe that Master Lu will not favor his own people."
Liu Qiaoer looked at Lu Yunzheng deeply. Since the Lu family didn't like her, it was of course not convenient for her to stay. With Zhao Ziyu around, at least Master Lu would not go too far.
As expected, Master Lu quickly agreed: "I will go and investigate what Your Majesty said."
