Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 197 Lu Zheng Was Frightened

If these imperial guards were really not looking for any wanted criminals, but the missing Zhao Ke, everything would make sense. And the foreseeable consequences have become increasingly unimaginable and unbearable.

To be honest, it is not difficult for any family in Chang'an to make a person disappear quietly. However, once such a thing got to the emperor, the nature would be completely different. As the son of heaven, as the Mingjun whom all people look forward to, even if the emperor knows that such a thing is inevitable, he will not show any approval for such a thing on the surface.

After all, nominally speaking, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, and even the rich and powerful cannot ignore human life.

As for how the emperor will deal with such a matter, no one can say for sure, and can only roughly speculate according to common sense. Thinking about it, if the offender was a more trusted official or family member of the emperor, he should have given him a lighter sentence, just reprimanded him, fined him some copper coins or something like that. But if the emperor is not so pleasing to the eye, such as the five surnames and seven Wangs, the emperor will very likely make use of the problem and cause these families to suffer heavy losses!

Jiang Laofa thought of this, how could he stand still, and immediately strode out of the blind corner where he had been hiding all the time, and shouted as he walked, "Lu Zheng! Lu Zheng!"

Lu Zheng and Sun Xing all looked in the direction of Jiang Laofa.

Lu Zheng was in a fit of anger, and coupled with being called by his name directly by Jiang Laofa, the hostility on his face suddenly became a little uncontrollable, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Are there any rules? Who gave you the guts to call me by my name? Tired of work?" Before Jiang Laofa could speak, Lu Zheng immediately cursed. He couldn't take it anymore. Why is no one willing to give him the respect he deserves? Is it because he is a bastard? This is not his choice! If possible, he doesn't want to get out of that woman's belly!

Jiang Laofa quickly walked up to Lu Zheng, ignored Lu Zheng's questioning at all, grabbed Lu Zheng by the collar, and asked loudly: "Tell me honestly, did you arrest the female shopkeeper on the first floor of Changchang? "

Lu Zheng originally thought that Jiang Laofa would restrain himself after being scolded by him, but he didn't expect him to intensify, directly making such rude actions, and felt even more ashamed and angry.

"Let go of me!" Lu Zheng tried to struggle. But after all, he was only a ten-year-old boy, and Jiang Laofa was born in manual labor. Although he was a little old, his body was always strong, and Lu Zheng couldn't break free at all.

"Answer me." Jiang Laofa asked again, "Did you arrest the female shopkeeper on the first floor?"

Lu Zheng said loudly: "No! No! I have never seen that female shopkeeper! Let me go!" He twisted a few more times, and seeing Jiang Laofa refused to let go, he sneered and said, "I didn't expect Shopkeeper Jiang is so concerned about the shopkeepers of other people’s restaurants, why? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to them? No wonder Yixiaolou has been crushed by the first floor for a while, and its profits have dropped by more than 40%. It turns out that there are shopkeepers Jiang Credit!"

Seeing that Lu Zhengyue's words were getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Laofa was upset and impatient to listen. He even slapped Lu Zheng's face directly and cursed: "Idiot!"

The crisp sound of the intimate contact between the palm and the cheek swayed in the air. There was a red mark on Lu Zheng's face, and the shape of the palm could be seen faintly. He looked at Jiang Laofa with an unbelievable look. Sun Xing on the side also couldn't believe it.

"Bold! How dare you commit an offense? Do you still have rules in your eyes? Is there any family law?" Sun Xing finally came back to his senses and asked, pointing at Jiang Laofa's nose.

Jiang Laofa snorted coldly, the smile on his face was full of sarcasm.

"I, Jiang Laofa, have been working in Lu's family for more than 20 years. I have always been diligent and conscientious. When I took over Yixiaolou, you, a young brat, didn't know which mother's belly you were in! Even Deacon Lu What kind of a person are you when you talk to me? Do you really have the face to discuss rules with me?" He asked.

Without waiting for Sun Xing and Lu Zheng to answer, he gritted his teeth and asked again: "I'll ask you again, you'd better answer me honestly! In the end, is it you who sent someone to arrest the female shopkeeper on the first floor of the building? The one named Zhao Ke?"

Lu Zheng was taken aback by Jiang Laofa's words, his heart was pounding, and his mind went blank. He pursed his lips, with some hesitation in his expression.

"Say you're an idiot, you really are an idiot! Don't you understand the situation yet?" Jiang Lao cursed, "If you tell me the truth now, maybe I can help you clean up the mess and save your life But if you don't tell me, not only the Lu family will be in trouble, but even you and your mother can't escape! I'm not kidding you!"

Lu Zheng looked into Jiang Laofa's eyes, the sharp light inside seemed to make him shorter.

"Yes. I arrested him." The moment he said this, Lu Zheng was like a straw man whose skeleton had been taken out, limply paralyzed, like a large dough bag.
