Handling a Case on Scene

The one that had gone to fetch Lu Song was one of Xuan Tian Hua's subordinates. Going along with Xuan Tian Hua's intentions, he directly passed along his master's words about collecting the corpse. As for whose corpse was being collected, Lu Song still did not know and was puzzled.

As for the governor, Xu Jing Yuan, who came in behind him, he had already heard from Ban Zou. Only then did he follow the servants from the Yao family and hurry over. He did not come alone, as he brought along government workers and a coroner. He had the appearance of someone going to handle a case, which caused Lu Song to become confused.

But once he entered the Yao manor's gates and saw the corpse on the ground, he was immediately woken up.

He stopped in place and stared wide-eyed at the corpse. A look of horror appeared on his face, but there was even more disdain and anger. No matter what, Lu Song never thought that the person that he had sent out of the province would suddenly return, nor that he would appear in the Yao manor, but why did he die? Damn it! Neither dying earlier nor later, he had to die at this sort of time, and it happened in the Yao family home. Lu Song looked at Lu Yao then at everyone else present. He could not help but begin to feel regret. If he knew sooner what would happen today, he would have had this unfilial son strangled to death sooner.

"Lord Lu, why are standing there and not going in? His Highness the seventh prince is still waiting for your reply." The guard that had gone to invite him impolitely spoke to Lu Song. What standard first ranked prime minister. As he saw it, he was nothing.

Because he had been called by Xuan Tian Hua, the others did not say anything else. They just waited for Xuan Tian Hua to deal with him, but Xuan Tian Hua acted as though he did not see him. He stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze wandered, but he ignored Lu Song.

Lu Song was someone that was able to endure. He just remained kneeling on the ground without a single word of complaint. Regardless of his standard first rank title, what did it count for in the face of a prince? He was also very clear on how he ended up in the position of left prime minister. It was just that there was a vacancy that needed to be filled, and the Emperor did not find anyone that was suitable as a replacement, thus it was given to him. But after becoming the prime minister, there was quite a great deal of pressure. Put nicely, he was an official with a very important job. Put negatively, who in Da Shun did not know that the Emperor would have anyone that he disliked become the left prime minister. Once one stabilized their position as the left prime minister, they would be suppressed again and again. This was the case for Feng Jin Yuan, his predecessor and the predecessor before that. Da Shun's left prime minister position has never been an easy position to handle!

Of course, it was not all of the left prime ministers that had been unfortunate. In the previous era, there were talents that stuck out; however, they had placed their bets wisely by engaging their daughter to the prince that would ascend the throne.

He, Lu Song, was also hoping for such a day. As long as he could improve his position while in the position of left prime minister, what would the disgrace of today count for? Although the Emperor was currently set on handing the throne to the ninth prince, who knew the future? The Emperor's health was quite good, and those princes were not there for nothing. He had to see who exactly would win and who would lose in this game of chess.

While he was thinking, Xuan Tian Hua had begun to speak, asking him: "The dead one, is he your son?"

Lu Song quickly replied: "Replying to your Highness, that is this official's eldest son. His name is Lu Cuo." While he had been focusing on the bigger picture, he had forgotten how a father should react to their eldest son suddenly dying.
