Chapter 816 818 [Great punishment waiter]
But he didn't expect that Xiang Nan just dodged, and he was caught in the air.
Immediately, he stumbled and pushed with his hand, Lu Zhong fell to the ground with a snap.
Because he threw himself with great strength, and Xiang Nan pushed the boat along the current, so the fall was even stronger.
The person fell to the ground and fainted immediately.
His head was broken, his nose was bleeding, and two of his front teeth fell out.
Even so, Telford did not spare him. With a big mouth like he didn't want money, he slapped, slapped, slapped left and right, and slapped him dozens of times, waking up Lu Zhong, who had fainted to death.
Defu still remembers how Lu Zhong humiliated their master and apprentice when they were in the palace.
But this time, if the master hadn't been vigilant, a dozen of them would have been burned to death.
So the combination of old and new hatred, how can we not make him angry.
Slapping him dozens of times is considered cheap for him.
…
At this moment, Lu Zhengming has also led his men to catch the hooligans who set the fire.
Although these hooligans know how to punch and have a little courage, they can only bully ordinary people.
It's not a big deal when you meet the well-trained and team-oriented guards of the palace. As a result, they were all caught in one go, and all of them were **** with their shoulders and arms tied together, and they squatted in a row in the corner.
At this time, the neighbors around heard the shouts and poked their heads out of curiosity.
Especially Hu Suhua, Sai Xishi and others stepped forward boldly.
"Oh, what's the matter, where do you get so much firewood, it smells so strong of tung oil!" Hu Suhua said in surprise.
"Brother Xi, Master Lu, what's going on?" Sai Xishi also asked in surprise.
"I have to ask Mr. Lu Zhonglu. On such a good day, he didn't sleep at home, but he came here to set fire." Lu Zhengming said with a smile, "Thanks to Mr. Xi for his insight and insight into the opportunity, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Huh?!" Hu Suhua, Sai Xishi, Yuer, Guizi and others were shocked when they heard this.
"What kind of enmity do we have against you, you actually want to set fire to us?" Hu Suhua immediately ran to Lu Zhong and reprimanded him face to face.
"Yes, we didn't mess with you, we didn't hurt you, we didn't throw your child into the well, why did you hurt us like this?" Sai Xishi also asked loudly.
"You have made Imperial Physician Wang unhappy, and this is your greatest sin." Lu Zhong grinned and said with a sneer, "If Imperial Physician Wang is unhappy, you all deserve to die."
"So, Doctor Wang sent you to harm us?" Xiang Nan asked immediately.
Lu Zhong was taken aback for a moment, but he closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.
…
He was indeed ordered by Wang Tianhe to harm Xiang Nan's family. A few days ago, he asked the hooligans in the capital to set fire to Xiang Nan's family, but because the north wind has been blowing these few days, the hooligans also worried that if the fire spread, the crime would be too great, so they dared not set fire, so they kept refusing.
This naturally dissatisfied Imperial Physician Wang, and urged Lu Zhong in every possible way, telling him to get rid of his family before Xiang Nan's Yixiaotang opened.
Lu Zhong undertook the pressure from Imperial Physician Wang, and he also transferred the pressure to the hooligans, telling them that Xiang Nan must be eliminated before the sixth day of November. Otherwise, he gets rid of them.
Coincidentally, today is the fifth day of November, the sky is clear, there is no wind, and there is no moon. Lu Zhong is urging the gangster leader to do things. He was also afraid that the boss would find excuses to shirk, so he followed along.
Anyway, in his opinion, once the fire is set off, once a person dies, there is no evidence for his death, and who can do anything about him.
However, he was quite loyal and would never confess to Wang Tianhe.
…
At this moment, Prince Jing also received the news, and rushed over with his troops on horseback.
When I went to the scene to see that everyone had stolen the money, I couldn't help being furious.
"Lu Zhong, you are also an official of the court, and you know how to break the law and commit such evil deeds. What do you have to say?" Prince Jing scolded angrily.
At first, he thought that Xiang Nan was a shadow of a snake with a bow and a bow, and the grass and trees were like soldiers. Unexpectedly, someone really wanted to kill him, and they still wanted to kill him all over the house.
This kind of behavior is really too bad.
Xiang Nan is a famous doctor he invited, not only cured Ge Ge's illness, but also plans to open a medical school to train more good doctors. It is a great thing for him and the court.
But some people just couldn't tolerate him, and pushed him out many times, obviously not giving him face as a prince. Now it is even more heinous to set fire to the whole family, which is heinous and outrageous.
"Prince Jing, you don't need to say any more. I, Lu Zhong, have been defeated today. The winner is the king and the loser, and I will be killed and cut at will. Come." Lu Zhong sneered.
Seeing that his death was imminent, yet he didn't know how to repent, and was still so arrogant, Prince Jing couldn't help being even more angry.
"What a bold slave, you really don't know how to live or die." Prince Jing said angrily, "If you don't give me some flair, you don't know the law of the court! Come on, send him to Shuntian Mansion, this king will interrogate him himself. "
At that moment, Prince Jing took his guards and sent Lu Zhong and the hooligans to Shuntian Mansion.
Xiang Nan, Defu, Lu Zhengming, etc., as witnesses and sufferers, also accompanied them.
…
Arriving at Shuntian Mansion, the governor of Shuntian Mansion was shocked when he heard that someone was going to set fire to the inner city, burning Xiangnan's family and destroying his family, and immediately went up to the court for interrogation.
Those hooligans couldn't help being frightened, and told the truth at the first trial.
How Lu Zhong found him, how much money he paid, and how he set up a murder plan, all of them were explained. He even confessed to Wang Tianhe.
However, Lu Zhong took all the blame on himself, and he killed Xiang Nan because he hated Xiang Nan's limelight and didn't want to see him again, so he asked a gangster to set fire to his whole family. Bringing out Doctor Wang was just to embolden the hooligans. In fact, Doctor Wang didn't know anything about it, and it had nothing to do with him.
As soon as Prince Jing heard it, he knew that what he said was not true.
One thing, Xiang Nan and Lu Zhong don't have that much grudge. It was Wang Tianhe who couldn't cure Gege, not Lu Zhong. Even if you are jealous, it should be Wang Tianhe's jealousy, when will it be Lu Zhong's turn.
Secondly, Lu Zhong is just a seventh-rank sesame official. If no one instructed him, he would not be so bold to set fire to the inner city. Besides, he has always followed Wang Tian and his boss, how could he do such a big thing without asking him for instructions.
"Hit, hit this slave for me, let's see if he dares to speak hard." Prince Jing sat in the hall and kept ordering.
He didn't believe that he couldn't pry Lu Zhong's mouth open.
Prince Jing is now a big celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Shuntian Mansion Yin is only the third rank, and he is far behind the prince, so naturally he dare not disobey him.
Therefore, the sentence was ordered immediately.
Beating with a board, being pinched with a stick, and being tortured... All kinds of tortures were performed in turn, and in a short time, Lu Zhong was tortured until he lost his human appearance.
When Defu saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright, his legs were like chaff, and he almost fainted.
Although Xiang Nan has experience in multiple worlds, he is quite courageous. But seeing this scene was also a little scary.
But even so, Lu Zhong still did not let go, insisting that these were all his own ideas and had nothing to do with Wang Tianhe.
Seeing this, Prince Jing had no choice but to order the Shuntian Mansion to put him in prison first and to interrogate him slowly.
