NOVEL NEXT Chapter 491 Tyrant
Beijing.
The new emperor ascended the throne and everything was renewed, but the entire capital was shrouded in a shadow, especially the court. All the ministers were in danger. Going to court every day was like going to the tomb, and seeing the new emperor was like seeing the king of hell.
Nothing else, just because this new emperor is a real tyrant.
Just a few days ago, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, which had stood for many years, collapsed overnight.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, he began to investigate the case of the Lin family. The case of the Lu family and the Lin family were inextricably linked. During this period, he also investigated and punished many crimes of the Lu family. Several crimes were punished at the same time. An imperial edict was sent to Marquis Zhongyong. Mansion, the exile of men and women.
When Lu Gaofei received the imperial edict, his expression was calm, as if he had expected it. The Buddhist beads in Mrs. Lu's hand were torn off, and the beads scattered all over the floor.
Mrs. Lu murmured: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault... If I hadn't doubted you at the beginning, exchanged the two children, and treated Lu Jiuqing better, I might not have had this disaster today."
She thought that Mo Xiao was ordered by the late emperor to seek justice for her daughter.
Lu Gaofei knew that this was not the case.
"Even without your incident, our Lu family would still be dead." Lu Gaofei said calmly, "The Ninth Prince was still young back then and was unable to protect the Lin family. He could only watch his master's family die unjustly. But Now, he is no longer the powerless Ninth Prince. He has full wings and stands at the top, trampling everyone under his feet. Now, he has enough ability to vindicate his master and let those who participated in this matter. All pay the price."
"Why do you think I stood by the prince and helped him deal with and suppress him? I was just afraid of this day!"
However, despite all precautions, I still failed to prevent it.
Who said the prince was stupid and bad? He couldn't be helped no matter how hard he tried.
Mrs. Lu's eyes became even redder, and after a while she reached out and grabbed Lu Gaofei's wrist: "Let's run away."
Lu Gaofei sneered: "Escape? Mo Xiao didn't want us to live. He had been expecting us to die for a long time."
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips: "Then, let the children escape."
Lu Gaofei: "I can't escape."
Mrs. Lu finally collapsed and fell to the ground, bursting into tears.
"Retribution, it's all retribution..."
She had fasted and chanted Buddha's name for so many years, but after all, she still couldn't offset her sins. Now the retribution was added to her body, and it was all her sin.
Lu Gaofei threw the imperial edict aside and walked out. He asked people to prepare kerosene and then filled the room. Then, someone would call everyone in the Lu family into this room.
Mrs. Lu was trembling all over: "What, what are you going to do?"
"Calm down, don't be like this..."
"The men are lords, and the women are in exile... They have no way out. If they come with me, they will suffer less torture, and they can be reunited underground one day."
Mrs. Lu: "But, but women don't have to..."
"Even if they don't die, how can they live a good life in exile?"
"..."
Yes, even if you don't die on the way to exile, you will have to shed your skin, so it would be better to die.
Mrs. Lu fell silent and said nothing.
Not long after, the Lu family gathered together, with a trace of fear on their faces. They all looked at Lu Gaofei and the head of the family, hoping that he could come up with something.
However, Lu Gaofei locked the door after everyone entered and threw away the key. Then, he took out a small piece of fire, and suddenly the flames shot into the sky and engulfed everyone.
