Chapter 189 She is like a simple child

"I know you've been very tired these days, so I'm here to help you relieve your burden." Yuan Qing stepped aside and said, "You were in charge of the salt permit case from the beginning. I can see that you don't want to touch this case at all, so let's each take a step back."

Lu Zhao looked over and asked, "Let's each take a step back?"

"Yes," Yuan Qing followed him, "It means that you give me the power and I will be in charge of the trial."

Lu Zhao became interested, "How much power do you want?"

"It depends on how much power you can give."

Lu Zhao sat back down again, "Not sincere."

"Sincerity?" Yuan Qing found a place to sit down. "I have already given you sincerity. You just need your uncle Lu to help me in the front and I will do the rest. Or, what are you afraid of?"

Her eyes were so sharp that Lu Zhao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her.

He smiled and said to her, "It's no problem for me to protect you, but who knows if you will use my name to do something bad."

Yuan Qing: "..."

Really, you are still pretending with her here.

"When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head." Yuan Qing shrugged, "Okay, you win. If you have any requests, just make them."

As for whether they agree or not, or whether they can do it or not, that is another matter.

In the end, she exchanged a year of on-call service for the same power of review and execution as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

Although the credit will eventually go to Lu Zhao, for Yuan Qing, obtaining the right to try the case is much more important than the credit.

A few days after the Lou family was taken to Beijing, the police found Lou Jing and his wife who were traveling far away in Xuzhou in the north.

With Wen Chengyu's permission, Lou Yin took the token and went to the prison to meet the Lou family.

Yuan Qing followed her mother as a maid without changing her appearance.

Seeing her grandfather and uncle was secondary. She mainly wanted to see Lu Nian and find out what her current situation was.

Only by seeing it in person can you know how to solve the problem.

Men and women were originally imprisoned separately in the Ministry of Justice cell, but Lu Nian currently only recognizes Lou Jing. Whenever someone approaches her, she will scream loudly. She has no choice but to imprison the two of them together next to Grandpa Lou and his group.

Lu Nian hid behind her husband with her eyes wide open.

She tilted her head to look outside, and suddenly grabbed her husband's clothes, pointed with her finger and said, "Someone, someone!"

Mr. Lou was the first to look over, and sure enough, he saw about four or five figures at the other end of the secret passage.

The brothers Lou Haiping and Lou Jiangping sat there without moving, but their eyes were always fixed outside.

"father!"

Before the person even arrived, Lou Yin couldn't help it.

She threw herself on the prison door and looked at her father from a distance of several steps.

My father seemed to have aged a lot.

The accompanying jailer had already opened both prison doors. Lou Yin walked up to his father and squatted down. He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't I tell you to stay home with mom? Why did you come along?"

Mr. Lou's lips moved, but eventually turned into a long sigh.

"The account book from that year is related to me. How can I just sit there and do nothing? This is my responsibility."

The court only said that the head of the family would be brought to the capital, but did not specify which one.

Mr. Lou stopped being involved in matters many years ago, so there is really no need for him to come along.

But Mr. Lou knew in his heart that since the court wanted to dig up old accounts from 19 years ago, he had to step in himself, because he was the only one who knew the details of that year best.

No matter whether he was being interrogated or tortured, he had to grit his teeth and hold on. He was not old yet, and the Lou family still had some use for him.

Lou Yin knew his father's stubborn temper, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

She looked at the cell next door and asked softly, "Xiao Nian, she..."

Lou Haiping shook his head and said, "I have seen many doctors in Jiangzhou. They all said that this is a heart disease and needs to be treated with heart medicine. However, this disease is difficult to cure. Whether I can wake up depends entirely on luck."

Yuan Qing patted his mother on the shoulder and said, "You stay here with them, I'll go take a look."

She turned to the next room again, but did not go closer. She just squatted outside the cell and looked over with her eyes bent.

When Lu Nian first heard the noise, he was startled and quickly hid behind.

But she didn't hear anyone talking, so she grabbed Lou Jing's arm, quietly stretched her head out, and met Yuan Qing's eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, and rarely did she hide. She blinked her big eyes and looked curiously.

Lou Jing was also a little bit unbelievable. Besides being surprised, he also felt a little sour in his heart.

He had tried many methods to eliminate her wariness, but he didn't expect that Qing'er could have such an effect just by standing outside without saying a word.

He gently took his wife's hand and said, "Do you remember her?"

He didn't want her to stay with him in such a place. If Qing'er could get close to her and take her out, he would be more than happy.

Lu Nian patted him, not letting him grab his hand, "Don't grab, it hurts."

She is like a simple little child.

Yuan Qing remembered that he seemed to have seen similar cases in modern times.

After a person has experienced external stimulation, the brain will autonomously choose to forget those people or things that cause him pain. This triggers the self-protection mechanism, also known as "selective amnesia."

At that time, she even went to ask for advice on purpose.
