I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 339 Slaughter

339 Slaughter
When Lu Ze came over, the discussion between the fourth prince and Pei Qian was already coming to an end.
Perhaps because Pei Qian’s previous warning had worked, when the fourth prince saw Lu Ze this time, it was unknown if it was because he was a little guilty about today’s scheme, but when he greeted Lu Ze, his attitude was much gentler.
Lu Ze naturally had his own explanation for what had happened during the day.
However, this explanation was actually similar to what Zhou Hengchang and Pei Qian had said previously, except that it was more detailed. After the fourth prince listened to the similar explanation three times in a row, he came to a conclusion.
Everything was Marquis Beining’s ministry’s fault!
“After what happened, it’s definitely unsuitable for Your Highness to appear again.” Pei Qian sighed helplessly as he looked at Lu Ze, who was sitting at the side. He suggested in a low voice, “Can we trouble you to make a trip?
No matter what, Marquis Beining’s ministry has to give an explanation for this matter.”
“That’s right! Marquis Beining dotes on his concubine and ignores his wife. Not only did he allow a concubine to cause trouble, but he even schemed against me!
If we don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll really think I’m a pushover.”
Upon hearing Pei Qian’s words, the fourth prince was naturally indignant and expressed his support for Lu Ze’s trip.
With Pei Qian and the fourth prince’s instructions, Lu Ze brought the people from the Imperial City’s government office to the entrance of Marquis Beining’s ministry the next morning.
It was unknown if the servant guarding the door had received instructions from the master inside, but even though Su Qi had revealed her identity, the person inside had no intention of opening the door.
“How did my wife get in when she went to the general’s residence?” Lu Ze, who was sitting in the carriage, didn’t look up from the memorial in his hand when he heard Su Qi’s report. He only instructed coldly, “Blow it up!”
With the precedent of Lin Suisui forcefully tearing down the door of the general’s residence, Lu Ze’s method of entering Marquis Beining’s ministry this time was equally simple and crude. After a deafening bang, a huge hole was blasted open in the door.
“Gu Erlang, even if you’re General Wei Bei, you shouldn’t be so impudent!” Marquis Beining, who had heard the commotion, looked at the broken door in fury. If not for the butler beside him reaching out to help him, he would have blacked out and fallen to the ground.
He was clearly challenging Marquis Beining’s ministry’s prestige!
“Marquis Beining, I’m here today on the orders of the fourth prince to seek an explanation.” Lu Ze was walking into the residence and had no intention of stopping. “I advise you to be tactful and settle this matter quickly so that everyone can live peacefully in the future.
Otherwise, everyone will have a troubled life in the future.”
“Gu Erlang, do you dare to say that you didn’t interfere in what happened yesterday?” Marquis Beining gritted his teeth. Of course, he understood why Lu Ze had come today.
If not for the fact that he knew, he wouldn’t have instructed people to prevent him from entering!
Unfortunately… he still couldn’t stop him.
“Where’s the evidence?” Lu Ze stopped and looked at Marquis Beining with disdain, as if he was looking at a monkey that was being toyed with. “Marquis, you will suffer retribution for slandering people!”
“What do you want?” Marquis Beining knew that there was no point in arguing with Lu Ze at this time. Now, all the evidence pointed to Marquis Beining’s ministry.
If those in power really wanted to, their ministry could be wiped out instantly.
In the past, it would have been fine if he had handed this matter to Song Minghui, but Song Minghui had directly rejected him. It was useless no matter how much he threatened him.
Even the usually cowardly and obedient Madam closed the door tightly and didn’t react to his threats.
Therefore, he had no choice but to deal with this mess himself.
“His Highness wants justice!” Lu Ze’s tone was gentle, but he refused to back down.
He walked up two steps, but he stopped because of Marquis Beining’s words. After he turned around, he looked down at Marquis Beining condescendingly and said, “All those involved have to get the punishment they deserve!
Putting everything else aside, drugging Mr. Pei and colluding with mountain bandits to plot against the wife of an official is a serious crime.
“It’s not easy for Marquis Beining’s ministry to reach its current position. You should think about it carefully. If your ancestor’s merit is really ruined because of an insensible concubine, how will you face the ancestors when you go to the netherworld?”
“How do you want to deal with her?” Marquis Beining hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, “After all, she gave birth to my children…”
“Marquis, begging for mercy is pointless.” Before Marquis Beining could finish begging, Lu Ze interrupted him. “Be it the Yu family or the eldest young master, none of them can escape punishment!
Yu Niang is your beloved, but His Highness, the fourth prince, is also his mother’s beloved. If this scheme of yours had really spread to the capital and tarnished the fourth prince’s reputation even a little, how do you think that person in the palace will deal with you?
Even the entire Marquis Beining’s ministry combined won’t be enough to compensate!”
Lu Ze sounded aloof, but his words sent chills down Marquis Beining’s spine.
This matter involved the fourth prince…
“So, what’s your plan?” Lu Ze curled his lips and seemed to be in a good mood as he urged Marquis Beining, “Are you going to deal with them yourself, or do you want me to help you?”
“Deal with them?” Lu Ze’s words made Marquis Beining shiver and he widened his eyes in disbelief as he met Lu Ze’s cold gaze. “Minghe is my…”
“It’s true that Eldest Young Master is your eldest son, but the fourth prince is also the only son of that person in the palace! Don’t you have other children?! It’s his fault for being so ignorant and meddling in everything.” Lu Ze smiled disdainfully as he advised, “If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for indulging them too much!”
