Chapter 401: Why Are You Here
Lu Liangwei nodded in agreement. "Alright."

After sending Lu Liangwei back to the Grand Duke Mansion, Chu Jiu went straight to the government office.

The governor, whose last name was Liu, was hosting a banquet in the backyard. At this moment, an officer hurried in and whispered something to him.

When he received the words, Governor Liu lost his composure and spilled the wine in his cup, and a guest sitting at the table glanced over. "What's wrong, Governor Liu? Did something happen?"

When Governor Liu heard the voice, he forced himself to calm down. How could he have forgotten about this person?

"To tell you the truth, my lord, the officer just told me that there's a woman outside who came to make a report to the local authorities. She said that a lot of people have died in an abandoned courtyard in the West of the city. The officer wanted to interrogate her, but she took out a warrant from the Emperor..." He paused. "Do you know who the Emperor gave his warrant to? I fear that her warrant may be fake."

After speaking, he wiped off his sweat. This matter was simply too sudden and too strange. Why did this woman appear out of nowhere with the Emperor's warrant?

"Father, why don't you go out and see for yourself? If you don't think you can tell if it's real or fake, we still have Tingchen here. He definitely won't get this wrong." Just then, another young man sitting at the table spoke up. It was none other than Governor Liu's youngest son, Liu Jinran.

After saying that, he picked up his cup and toasted Lu Tingchen.

The two were close friends, and today he was the one hosting Lu Tingchen. After his father learned about it, he put his government affairs aside and came over to keep him company.

There was no other way. Not only was Lu Tingchen the Grand Duke's heir presumptive, but he was also one of the Emperor's most trusted subordinates. Besides commanding the palace cavalry, he would also soon take on another identity as the Emperor's brother-in-law.

A prominent figure like him would naturally become Governor Liu's target to fawn over.

Besides him, several court officials with high positions were also trying to curry favor with Lu Tingchen.

However, although Lu Tingchen was still young, he was a blunt person and despised flattery above all.

Governor Liu was only able to get close to him thanks to his youngest son.

Although Lu Tingchen disliked flattery in the court, it did not mean that he could not recognize it.

Since Liu Jinran spoke up, Lu Tingchen naturally could not refuse. Moreover, he was also a little curious to see this person who had the guts to counterfeit the Emperor's warrant and make a report to the local authorities.

"How about this? It's time for me to go back anyway, so I'll head out with Governor Liu and have a look." Lu Tingchen then downed the wine in his cup and stood up.

Governor Liu was overjoyed and hurriedly performed a fist and palm salute. "Thank you, my lord."

"It's nothing." Lu Tingchen waved his hand.

Liu Jinran also got up. "Tingchen, I'll see you off."

The three of them retreated from the backyard and went straight to the courtroom.

At this moment inside the courtroom, Chu Jiu was saying impatiently to the officer, "I've already reported the matter to you. You can figure out how to deal with it yourself." With that, she made a move to leave.
