Chapter 1562: Interrogation!
Translator: Lonelytree
When he heard Dai Lixin say that someone had reported that his nephew had been to Anding County, Liu Xinren was stunned for a moment before he became furious.
He questioned loudly, but his eyes flickered, and he seemed a little guilty.
This time, Lord Dais expression was a little ugly. He said, Lord Liu, why are you so agitated? We are just doing our routine work. We want to personally confirm with Lord Liu if this is true.
Liu Xinrens reaction was a little extreme.
However, he couldnt be blamed for overreacting. Ever since the plan failed yesterday, he had been trembling in his heart, afraid that the Liu residence would be destroyed in the next moment.
Now that he heard that someone had seen Liu Zhengbin go to Anding County, and Taoyuan Village was within the jurisdiction of Anding County, how could he not panic?
He couldnt help but get agitated when he panicked.
Of course, Liu Xinren never expected that since those people had already been silenced, this stinking rock would find out that Liu Zhengbin had been to Anding County.
Liu Zhengbin was the eldest son of Liu Xinrens eldest brother, Liu Xincheng.
Liu Xincheng served in other provinces, and Liu Zhengbin followed his father.
Therefore, Liu Zhengbin spent very little time in the capital, so very few people in the capital knew him.
However, some time ago, Liu Zhengbin came to the capital after hearing about the Ninth Princess Yuwen Lings accident and Consort Liu Des downfall.
However, even though Liu Zhengbin returned to the capital, he did not go out much. Most of the people who knew him did not know that he had already come to the capital.
However, half a month ago, Liu Zhengbin was sent to do something.
Now, he suddenly heard from Dai Lixin that Liu Zhengbin had gone to Anding County. He felt a sense of foreboding.
However, he said calmly, Oh, now that you mention it, I remember it. Some time ago, Bin er did tell me that he was going to Anding County.
Dai Lixin stared at Liu Xinren and asked suspiciously, Oh, is that so? But why did he go to Anding County?
Liu Xinrens face darkened when he heard Dai Lixins question. He shouted sharply, Dai Lixin, what do you mean? Why should my Zhengbin report to you?
Dai Lixins face darkened, and he said sternly, Lord Liu, this matter concerns the case of the Lin family framing the princess of Guguo. I will not let go of any clues! So, Im puzzled. Why did your eldest nephew suddenly go to Anding County more than half a month ago? One has to know that Lin Family Village is within the boundaries of An Ding County, and those Lin Family villagers were also rushed to the capital more than half a month ago.
Liu Xinrens heart skipped a beat when he heard Dai Lixins words. However, he said angrily, The county magistrate of Anding County, Liu s.h.i.+hong, is from a branch of the Liu family. He is the great-grandson of my great-grandfathers second brother, and he is also my second uncle. Bin er had long heard that the Anding County, where his Second Uncle worked, had many strange things in recent years. He wanted to take a look. Sir Dai!
Dai Lixins expression did not change after hearing that. He only replied with an oh before asking in a calm tone, Is that so?
Liu Xinren said angrily, If Sir Dai doesnt believe me, do you want me to bring the family tree over for you to check?!
Liu Xinren had already predicted two possible outcomes.
First, the plan was successful.
As long as Lin Yuelans position as the princess of the Guguo was successfully abolished, she would be charged with being unfilial.
No matter how great Lin Yuelans contribution was, no one would remember them. They would only remember that she was a heartless and unfilial daughter.
In todays world, where filial piety ruled the country, filial piety was the most important thing in everyones hearts.
No matter how capable a person was, if they did not have filial piety, they would still be despised.
Therefore, as long as Lin Yuelan was accused of being unfilial, she would not be able to clear her name no matter what. She might even implicate her fianc, Jiang Zhennan.
If Jiang Zhennan broke off the engagement, he would be less of a burden.
However, if he were unwilling to break off the engagement, then Jiang Zhennans prestige in the hearts of the people would definitely plummet.
Moreover, Jiang Zhennan did not care about his biological father, Jiang Yunfeng. There were even rumours that the collapse of the Dukes estate was due to the actions of the Great General, Jiang Zhennan.
Otherwise, with the Great Generals favour in front of the Emperor, it would not be too difficult to protect the Dukes estate..
