As soon as he arrived at Fusi in Nanzhen, Lu Bai went to Zhao Prison first, and found that shopkeeper Shen was fine, without a trace of flesh damage on his body.

"You did this job—" Lu Bai also patted Qianhu on the shoulder below, and praised him, "No one will be offended."

Fang Qianhu thought that Lu Bai was mocking him, so he covered it up with a dry laugh.

Not long after Lu Bai came out of Zhao Prison, the Shen family arrived, and it was the head of the Shen family, Shen Yi, who came in person.

As the patriarch of an aristocratic family, Shen Yi is not very old, he is almost in his early forties, but his hair has already turned blue-gray, but he is in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and an unconcealable vigor.

Shen Yi does not currently hold an official position in the temple.

The reason is that Shen Yi's father passed away less than three years ago, and Shen Yi is still in Ding Youzhong, but everyone knows that after the three-year period expires, Shen Yi will definitely ascend to a high position, maybe he can still do it with the support of Jianzhai. Into the cabinet yet.

"Lord Lu, I don't know what happened to my family Shen Mei?" After greeting Lu Bai, Shen Yi asked neither humble nor overbearing, but the anxiety in his tone could not be concealed.

Lu Bai was not surprised at all.

Although he sent the money over the day before, shopkeeper Shen was arrested by Jin Yiwei yesterday morning, and he never handed over the money to the Shen family. The Shen family is most anxious now, and it is time to use shopkeeper Shen, so naturally they have to hurry over Ask what happened.

Lu Bai told Shen Yi not to worry, he was going to interrogate shopkeeper Shen soon.

He asked Shen Yi to sit by and listen, and then asked Jin Yiwei to escort Shopkeeper Shen up.

Lian'er is worthy of growing up with a vixen since she was a child, her acting skills are good, she first scolded Lu Bai as a "dog official", and also scolded Lu Bai for being a foolish official for handling foolish cases, and asked Shen Yi, the head of the Shen family, for help.

Shen Yi waved his hand, telling shopkeeper Shen to be calm, "I believe Master Lu will enforce the law impartially."

When Shen Yi said this, there was a little anger in his tone, and he didn't know who he was angry with.

Lu Bai didn't bother to pay attention to him, and repeated the clues he followed. It has to be said that when he went to the customs supervisor, he found that shopkeeper Shen was a fake Lian'er, and he had a quarrel with drinking on the boat entering the city. The customs supervisor held a grudge. In his mind, when he then used the customs supervision department to smuggle salt to make a fuss and do blackmail, Lu Bai's speculation was still very reliable.

Fang Qianhu listened to it, and they all nodded in unison, thinking that shopkeeper Shen did it.

"Both Guan Jiansi and Huang Junsheng Jin Yiwei are greedy for money. You tempted Huang Jinyiwei with money, let him kick Guan Jiansi to serious injury, drowned in the water, and then poured sweat medicine in the wine shop, and let Huang Junsheng drown to death." In the water—" Lu Bai slapped the table, "Shopkeeper Shen, you thought you were doing it a secret, but you didn't expect to be found out by Lu today, right?"

Shen Yi frowned.

He knew that Shopkeeper Shen smuggled salt, but he didn't know that he was blackmailed by the Supervisory Department. Now that he heard Lu Bai's reasoning, he had to say that it made sense, but there was something wrong, but Lu Bai hadn't thought of it yet.

Shopkeeper Shen said proudly at this time: "Lord Lu, all of your speculations are just guesses, do you have evidence?"

Lu Bai sneered, "Of course, the inspectors at Xishuiguan have seen you smuggling salt. The supervisor of the customs inspected your cargo ship abnormally that day for smuggled salt, and the people around them also saw it."

Shopkeeper Shen smiled slightly, confidently saying, "What if the Supervisory Department wants to taste private salt."

He took a few steps forward, "Besides, these are Master Lu's guesses! But the truth is, I have a very good relationship with the Supervisory Department and Huang Junsheng Jinyiwei. Even after that interrogation, we went to the Red House to eat flowers together Alcohol, there is also a girl from the Red Chamber to testify to this point."

He said aggressively: "Let me ask Master Lu again, did you see me beat Huang Junsheng with your own eyes, instructing someone to kick the supervisor of the prison until he was seriously injured and threw him into the river to drown? I'm afraid it's just a guess, Master Lu, do you have any proof?"

"This..." Lu Bai's tone faltered, and he turned to look at Fang Qianhu, "Did you get a confession through torture yesterday?"

Fang Qianhu shook his head.

This is a member of the Shen family, not to mention that this Shen family may become Jianzhai's secular power in the capital in the future, even now it is in the limelight, it is not something that a thousand households can provoke, how dare he torture this person to extract a confession.

Shopkeeper Shen smiled triumphantly, "So there is no evidence?"

He spread his hands, "Master Lu, guessing cannot solve the case, no matter how reasonable a guess is, it is just guessing, if guessing is useful, it will be much easier to solve the case in this world."

"This..." Lu Bai frowned.

He is very angry.

In order to show that he was angry with shopkeeper Shen's words, he couldn't help but think about the loss-making business this time-although shopkeeper Shen was caught, it was useless at all. Maybe it was because he knew that Lu Bai would let her go. It hasn't arrived yet.

Hey, it seems that this panel is very impartial in enforcing the law.

Lu Bai showed his anger to the panel, which looked like that.

The Patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Yi, now recalled that all of this was guesswork.

He stood up all of a sudden, "Master Lu, what matters in handling a case is evidence. If you don't have evidence of my brother Shen's murder, I don't think this case will go to trial."

He stared at Lu Bai, with a playful smile on his lips, "Lord Lu, you just came to the capital. When you were in the northwest border town, you could repeatedly solve serious cases by torture, but this method will not work in the capital."

Lu Bai had a sullen face and didn't speak.

Shen Yi said again: "Lord Lu, if you are still obsessed with obsession, let's go to the emperor to argue. I believe the emperor will give my brother justice."

Lu Bai thought to himself that the emperor would not bother to pay attention to your nonsense.

"Okay." Lu Bai still stubbornly said: "Then let's go to the emperor and discuss the smuggling of salt in Meiji Buzhuang."

Shen Yi was happy, "Master Lu, I'm afraid the matter of smuggling salt is not under the jurisdiction of Nanzhen Fusi, right?"

Lu Bai was silent.

Shen Yi, who had the upper hand, was aggressive, "Also, Mr. Lu, I'm afraid he's not clean either, right?"

Along with seeing Lu Bai flourishing in the capital, his deeds in Yancheng were also wiped out, although most of the cases were handled by Lu Bai, and there was also his experience when he started a family, lacking his experience of cultivation, So much so that everyone felt that Lu Bai hadn't been cleaned up yet.

"You..." Lu Bai tried his best to look unwilling.

However, the fire was almost over, and it was time for the end, so Lu Bai said harshly, "Shopkeeper Shen, don't be complacent. Let me tell you, I will definitely find evidence of your murder."

Shopkeeper Shen proudly raised his head, straightened his back, "I'll wait!"

Then, Lu Bai dropped his pick and left, but before he got lost, he reluctantly waved to Fang Qianhu and asked Fang Qianhu to take care of the funeral.

Fang Qianhu is still very good at this.

While apologizing for his crimes, he asked shopkeeper Shen to be released, and sent them out with a smile while shopkeeper Shen was taunting him.

After their figures disappeared, Fang Qianhu turned around, secretly laughing in his heart, he never thought that Lu Bai, who had been invincible since entering the capital, had suffered from the Shen family, and this was his first case.

However, after thinking about it, Fang Qianhu felt that it was natural.

In this case, Huang Jinyiwei had been dead for a long time without knowing why, and it was a coincidence that he could find the body, let alone find evidence of the murder. It is estimated that it would be difficult for others to solve this case.

After returning to his office room, Lu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. The performance didn't seem like an easy task. He was so tired that he was sweating after a while ago.

Lu Bai sat on the chair, took a short rest, and then looked out of the window in a daze.

Ever since Lu Bai became the Fusi of Nanzhen, he specially asked an old Jin Yiwei to take care of the Fusi's yard in Nanzhen. Now the yard is well maintained.

There is a vat of banana trees by Lu Bai's window, and the raindrops from the eaves fall on the banana leaves, rattling.

Lu Bai just stared at the trembling banana leaf in a daze, thinking about other cases.

Now the case of the Guanjian Department has been solved.

As for the demon book case, the investigation is almost the same. It is nothing more than eunuchs, harem and emperor, mainly eunuchs and harem.

Lu Bai felt that it was almost enough to find out here.

He can't really go into the harem to check on the emperor's queen and concubines.

Lu Bai had already asked Gu Qinghuan to reply.

As for the dossier of the demon book case sent by Beizhen Fusi, only the death of the Taoist priest who spread the demon book was found on it, and there was no follow-up investigation. Presumably, he knew that this case was difficult.

Lu Bai didn't plan to investigate any further.

That's it for the case.

However, the purpose of this demon book has been achieved. Lu Bai heard from Gu Qinghuan that many people are now submitting papers, begging the emperor to appoint a prince as soon as possible.

Not only Luo Wang's people, but Kang Wang's people also kept writing letters. The destiny in the demon book became a reason for the Lu family to support the emperor to make Kang Wang the prince, and found a reasonable reason for supporting Kang Wang.

Lu Bai guessed that the emperor would soon be thinking about setting up a prince.

I heard that there was a big fire in the palace last year, which almost burned the emperor. Although it didn't burn, it also scared the emperor into a serious illness. If the emperor died at that time and did not appoint a successor, the court might be in chaos what kind.

Now this is a big reason for many ministers to petition the emperor to establish a prince.

Lu Bai estimated that the emperor would have some twists and turns in his heart under the instigation of these ministers.

Now there are rumors about who the emperor wants to be the prince, and it is said that there are bets on the handicap.

However, these have nothing to do with Lu Bai.

As a Jin Yiwei, Lu Bai can't get involved in this matter, and he doesn't want to get involved in these things, but sometimes you don't want to get involved, it doesn't mean that others don't want you to get involved.

Luo Wang invited people to invite Lu Bai yesterday, and he promised a jar of good apricot blossom brew, which is just right to drink apricot blossom brew in the rain.Lu Bai refused, refusing to stay at home and not wanting to go out. Unexpectedly, King Naluo sent Xinghua Niang to the mansion again.

Lu Bai accepted it.

Now all the officials in the entire capital probably regard him as a party supporting Luo Wang, just because he Lu Bai used to be a big showman when he was in Xishan.

"But I don't want to get involved with anyone." Lu Bai sighed helplessly.

Based on his current practice, even if King Kang became the emperor, he might not dare to do anything to him, and he had to be wooed.

Just as Lu Bai thought of this, a young eunuch led by a royal guard walked in.

He was sent by King Luo to invite Lu Bai to Juxian Pavilion for a drink.

Lu Bai wanted to refuse at first, but the little eunuch said: "I heard that Wang Changkang's first play will be staged in Juxian Pavilion today, the prince specially asked me to invite my lord to go and have a look, saying that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. "

Lu Bai's heart was moved.

Now "The Peony Pavilion" is staged every day in the capital, all performed by Lu Bai's troupe.

This show is very popular now, the venues are full, the seats under the stage are crowded with people, and the seats behind the seats are piled up with people. They all want to watch "The Peony Pavilion", so Lu Bai almost asks people to sell tickets.

Of course, these are still small scenes, and the real big scene of "The Peony Pavilion" is at the Santiantang Club of Mo's family.

Lu Bai's troupe sang for three consecutive days on the stage of the Mo family's theater. Because of the spaciousness of the stage of the Mo family's theater, those three days turned into an empty alley, and people talked about "The Peony Pavilion" almost everywhere.

I heard that many Huaichun girls cried after watching it, and then cried while watching it a second time and a third time.

Many people gave "The Peony Pavilion" a high evaluation, especially the lyrics and opera tone of "The Peony Pavilion", which fascinated many people.

It was rumored that if Lu Bai's plays could really be cultivated, then Wang Changkang would undoubtedly lose.

Now is the time for Wang Changkang to respond, and Lu Bai really wants to see it.

"Go back and tell your lord that I will definitely go tonight." Lu Bai agreed.

The little eunuch backed away with a promise.

Lu Bai picked up the file of "The Case of the Demon Book" in his hand, and was just about to be packed up and put away in a shelf, when his heart suddenly moved.

Chapter 398

If it is speculated just now that the demon book really came from the palace, then the contents of the demon book are targeted.

Lu Bai hurriedly took back the file and found the demon book on it.

This is the most important evidence.

The Yaoshu analyzed the fates of King Luo and King Kang from the perspective of astrology, astrology and gossip, saying that King Kang only had the fate of the Son of Heaven.There is also this reason for the favor of the Holy One.It is also mentioned above that the Holy Majesty and King Kang have similar fates, and they are both emperors' fates——

Of course, that's not what Lu Bai wanted to see.

He flipped through the book and found the part related to the current emperor - he was born in June.

The above mentioned is somewhat vague.

People in the Southern Dynasties also knew that the emperor's birthday was in June.

When the emperor was born, the Supreme Emperor asked the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty to take the people to celebrate the birth of the prince for a month. Later, when the emperor was crowned, he also celebrated with the people throughout June, so many people know the birthday of the emperor. in June.

But few people know the specific date of the emperor's birthday in June.

However, although the demon book mentions it vaguely, the person who wrote the book is not ambiguous. He obviously knows the date of the emperor's birthday.

Since this demon book was handed down from the palace and written according to the truth, then what this person used when he used the emperor's birthday should also be true.

In this way, this man knows the emperor's birthday.

As the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, the emperor must keep his birthday a secret in this society where the horoscope of his birthday can really predict his destiny and future. Lu Bai guessed that unless he was someone with a very high status in the inner school, the eunuchs would not know about it. The emperor's birthday.

The one who knows the most is the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but the Queen Mother asked Lu Baicha, and the Emperor doesn't like to mention this matter, so it seems that they are impossible, so there is only one possibility - the Queen.

The current emperor is different from the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor changed several queens before it was Gu Qinghuan's sister's turn to be the queen.

The current queen is a queen from beginning to end.

The queen is the official wife of the emperor's matchmaker, and they exchanged birthdays before they got married, so to speak——

Lu Bai looked at the demon book in his hand, could it be that the queen planned it all by himself?
