Chapter 816 Chapter 818 [Serving with great punishment]
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan just dodged and he was thrown into the air.
?Then he stumbled and pushed with his hand. Lu Zhong fell to the ground with a thud.
?Because his throwing force was already strong, and Xiang Nan pushed the boat along with the current, the force of the fall was even greater.
?The person fell to the ground and fainted immediately.
His head was cut open, his nose was bleeding, and two of his front teeth were missing.
?Even so, Defu did not spare him. The big-mouthed man seemed to want no money. He opened his bow from left to right and slapped him dozens of times. Lu Zhong, who had fainted, was awakened by the pain.
Defu still remembers how Lu Zhong humiliated both his master and his disciple when they were in the palace.
??But this time, if the master hadn''t been clever, more than a dozen of them would have been burned to death.
?Hence the new and old hatreds combined, how could he not be filled with rage?
Hitting him dozens of times would be an advantage to him.
…
At this moment, Lu Zhengming also led his people to catch the gangsters who set the fire.
?Although these gangsters know a little bit about boxing and have some courage, they can only bully ordinary people.
??Meeting well-trained and team-working royal guards is nothing special. As a result, they were all caught in one sweep. They all had their shoulders **** and their arms tied up, and they squatted in a row in the corner.
At this time, when the neighbors heard the shouting, they all poked their heads out curiously.
Especially Hu Suhua, Sai Xishi and others came out boldly.
“Oh, what’s going on? Where can there be so much firewood? The smell of tung oil is so strong!” Hu Suhua said in surprise.
"Brother Xi, Master Lu, what is going on?" Sai Xishi also asked in surprise.
"I have to ask Mr. Lu Zhonglu about this. On such a fine day, he didn''t sleep at home and actually came here to set a fire." Lu Zhengming said with a smile, "Thanks to Mr. Xi for his discernment and insight into the opportunity, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Huh?!" Hu Suhua, Sai Xishi, Yu''er, Guizi and others were all shocked when they heard this.
"What kind of grudge 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 provoke you or harm you, nor did we throw your child into the well. Why did you harm us like this?" Sai Xishi also asked loudly.
“You have made Doctor Wang unhappy, and that is your biggest crime.” Lu Zhong grinned and sneered, “If Doctor Wang is unhappy, you deserve to die.”
“So, it’s Dr. Wang who sent you to harm us?” Xiang Nan asked immediately.
?Lu Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he closed his mouth and did not dare to speak anymore.
…
He did come to harm Xiang Nan''s family on Wang Tianhe''s order. A few days ago, he asked gangsters in the capital to set fire to Xiang Nan''s family. However, because the north wind had been blowing in the past few days, the gangsters were worried that the crime would be too great if the fire spread, so they did not dare to set fire to it, so they kept trying to shirk the crime.
?This naturally made Imperial Physician Wang very dissatisfied, and he also pressed Lu Zhong in every possible way, asking him to get rid of his family before Xiang Nan''s Yixiao Tang opened.
??Lu Zhong accepted the pressure from Dr. Wang, and he also transferred the pressure to the gangsters, telling them that Xiang Nan must be eliminated before the sixth day of November. Otherwise, he will get rid of them.
By coincidence, today is the fifth day of November, the sky is clear and windless, and there is no moon. Lu Zhong is urging the gangster leader to do something. He was afraid that the leader would find excuses to shirk again, so he followed him.
In any case, in his opinion, once the fire is set off and the person dies, there will be no evidence, so what else can anyone do to him.
??Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan actually set up an ambush. He was caught before the fire was even lit, which was really unlucky.
?However, he was still quite loyal and would never give up Wang Tianhe.???…
At this moment, Prince Jing also received the news and came over on horseback with his troops.
When I arrived at the scene and saw that everyone had stolen the stolen goods, I couldn''t help but get angry.
"Lu Zhong, you are also an official of the imperial court, but you actually know the law and break it, and commit such evil deeds. What can you say?" Prince Jing angrily scolded.
Originally, he thought that Xiang Nan was a snake with a bow and a shadow, and all the grass and trees were soldiers. Unexpectedly, someone really wanted to harm him, and they also wanted to destroy his whole family.
?This kind of behavior is really bad.
Xiang Nan is the famous doctor he invited. He not only cured Princess''s disease, but also prepared to open a medical school to cultivate more good doctors. It was a great thing for him and the court.
However, there were some people who couldn''t tolerate him and squeezed him out many times, clearly not giving him the face of a prince. Now they even want to set fire to the whole family, which is simply a heinous and heinous crime.
"Prince Jing, you don''t need to say more. I, Lu Zhong, have been defeated today. I will be a king or a bandit, and I will kill you as you please." Lu Zhong sneered.
?Seeing that he was on the verge of death, still unrepentant and still so arrogant, Prince Jing could not help but become even more angry.
"What a bold slave, you really don''t know how to live or die." Prince Jing said angrily, "If I don''t give you some clues, you don''t even know how official the law is! Come on, send him to Shuntian Mansion, I will interrogate him personally. "
At that moment, Prince Jing took his guards and sent Lu Zhong and the gangsters to Shuntian Mansion.
Xiang Nan, Defu, Lu Zhengming and others also went with them as witnesses and victims.
…
?When they arrived at Shuntian Prefecture, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture heard that someone was planning to set fire to the inner city, burning Xiang Nan''s family and exterminating them. He couldn''t help being frightened, and immediately went to court for interrogation.
?The gangsters couldn''t help but be frightened, and they all told the truth after the first trial.
How Lu Zhong found him, how much money he paid, and how he planned the murder were all explained. Even Wang Tianhe was confessed.
?However, Lu Zhong took all the blame on himself, saying that he was jealous of Xiang Nan''s limelight and didn''t want to see him again, so he hired gangsters to set fire to his whole family. The purpose of carrying out Dr. Wang was just to embolden the gangsters. In fact, Dr. Wang didn''t know anything about it and it had nothing to do with him.
As soon as Prince Jing heard this, he knew that what he said was not entirely true.
Hang Nan and Lu Zhong don’t have that big grudge. It was Wang Tianhe who couldn''t cure Gege, not Lu Zhong. Even if he is jealous, it should be Wang Tianhe who is jealous. When will it be Lu Zhong''s turn?
Secondly, Lu Zhong was just a seventh-rank sesame official. If there was no one to instruct him, he would not be so bold as to set fire to the inner city. Besides, he always followed Wang Tian and Ma''s lead, how could he do such a big thing without asking him for instructions.
“Hit, beat this slave, let’s see if he still dares to speak harshly.” Prince Jing sat in the hall and kept giving orders.
?He didn’t believe that Lu Zhong could not be opened.
Prince Jing is now a popular person in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
?Shuntian Prefecture Yin is only a third-grade official, far behind the prince, so naturally he does not dare to disobey.
Therefore, he was ordered to be punished immediately.
?beating with boards, clamping sticks, and beating...all kinds of tortures were applied in turn. 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 sieves, and he almost fainted.
?Although Xiang Nan has experience in multiple worlds, he is also quite courageous. But seeing this scene, it was also a bit scary.
?Even so, Lu Zhong still refused to 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 Shuntian Prefecture to take him into prison first and try him slowly.
