ancient criminal minds
Chapter 11 Meeting an Opponent
After coming out of Yizhuang, Lu Zheng urged Chang Shan Chang Shui to go back quickly, and finally arrived home before Lu Che came back. Sitting in Zhuqin Ju, Lu Zheng still felt his heart beating.
He sat for a while, then remembered Bao Zheng's case file of Shuimiao Temple, couldn't sit still, got up and was about to go to Feihong Courtyard, but when he entered the door, he bumped into Jixiang who was worried.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Lu Zheng rubbed his bumped forehead, and pulled Ji Xiang up from the ground.
Ji Xiang was pulled up ignorantly, seeing that it was Lu Zheng, his eyes lit up and he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Zheng didn't notice her expression, he just gave an order and hurried out.
Ji Xiang hesitated for a moment, but finally did not call him.
The distance between Zhuqin Residence and Feihong Courtyard is not far, and Lu Zheng often reads and practice calligraphy in Lu Che's study recently, and the guards are also used to his comings and goings, and even the brave one even joked with him: "Third young master Haven't finished your homework today?"
Most of them were the soldiers who guarded one side with the Duke of England back then. Those who were born in the army were not so particular about their dignity. Lu Zheng always liked to talk with them, but today he had something on his mind, so he just said a few perfunctory words and stepped into Lu Zheng. Che's study.
The desk was full of case files as always, Lu Zheng flipped through them one by one, and finally found the one from Shui Miao An.
Open it, the front part is the situation of the crime scene, the middle part is some analysis, and the last part is written: "The deceased was hanged and killed, which shows that the crime was very powerful and fierce, but there is enough time at night to do such a cruel thing." , only Jane's."
The signature below is Zhao Xueqian.
Lu Zheng frowned, carefully recalling that chance encounter with Jian Yu, he always had a strong intuition that this matter was not done by Jian Yu, before he thought it through carefully, he saw the study door was suddenly pushed open .
"Master Lao Lu has been waiting for a long time, and the students are apologizing."
After Zhao Xueqian finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and quickly raised his head, just in time to look at Lu Zheng with an inexplicable expression.
"Who are you?!"
Lu Zheng was startled by his loud voice, and the guards outside the door also rushed in. The leader looked at Lu Zheng and Zhao Xueqian before explaining in a low voice: "Mr. The third young master of the mansion is not a young man."
Zhao Xueqian looked upright: "He is the young master of the family. Does he have fame? Does he have an official position? This case file is an official document, and a mere white body flipping through the official document should be punished with flogging according to the law."
Lu Zheng looked confused, and the guard next to him frowned: "Mr. Zhao, the third young master is the younger brother of the adult, even if he is a bit playful, why do you put such a big hat on you? Are you too alarmist? gone?"
Zhao Xueqian didn't seem to have heard the warning in his words, and his face was very calm: "Is it alarmist, Mr. Lu has his own decision, don't you think so?"
Only then did the guard realize that Lu Che had already stood at the door at some point, with a gloomy and ugly face.Seeing that everyone was looking over, he walked in slowly.
"Mr. Zhao's golden and jade words, I will keep in my heart." He glanced at several guards, "Are you convicted?"
"My lord, forgive me." Several guards knelt down one after another.
"Each person receives thirty boards, and next time, don't stay in Feihong Courtyard."
Several nurses went down to receive the punishment without saying a word, but Lu Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly said: "It has nothing to do with them, I practice calligraphy here every day, they just think I'm here to get their own things."
"You think you can escape?"
Lu Zheng wanted to argue again, but Lu Che's cold eyes swept over him, and immediately told him to shut up.
In this atmosphere, Zhao Xueqian remained calm. He cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Che: "Don't dare to disturb the adults with housework. The student will leave."
Lu Che didn't know whether he was happy or angry: "I'm not strict in family education, I told my husband to read a joke, and I'll treat him to a drink when I'm free."
"My lord, you've broken the students." Zhao Xueqian straightened up.
Lu Che sent someone to see off the guests again, and then turned his attention to Lu Zheng: "Come with me."
Lu Zheng moved his left leg, slowly shifted his weight to his right leg, and then looked at Lu Che with a bitter face. Lu Che was sitting at the desk reading a book, as if he had completely forgotten his existence.
Lu Zheng didn't dare to complain, he could only move his sore legs slightly.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Lu Che's voice suddenly sounded, startling Lu Zheng, and quickly admitted his mistake honestly: "Brother, I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I... I shouldn't have stolen the case file."
"anything else?"
"I..." Lu Zheng gritted his teeth cruelly, "I shouldn't have sneaked out."
Lu Che put down the book in his hand, "More than that, have you forgotten what I said?" He pressed the space between his tired brows, "I told you not to meddle in this case."
"But big brother..."
"What kind of relationship do you have with this Jian Yu? It makes you risk your life to help him!"
Lu Che's sudden anger made Lu Zheng stunned, and he forgot to explain for a moment.
His silence was mistaken by Lu Che for acquiescence, and he shook his head in disappointment: "Haven't you learned a lesson from this incident with Han Er?"
Lu Zheng was taken aback: "I..."
"You're injured so badly, do you think your family won't investigate?" Lu Che said, "Han Er just teased Jian Yu behind his back, so you can't see it and rushed up and punched him. As a result, I was seriously injured, and my family was heartbroken for you, is it worth it?"
Lu Zheng was stunned, he thought it was a quarrel between two dudes over trivial matters, but the original owner was unlucky, so he lost his life, how did he know there was such an inside story?
"I... for Jian Yu?"
Lu Che looked at his younger brother, and couldn't help but let go of his breath: "You are not from the same world. You should have been successful in your life, so why are you involved with someone who crawled out of the quagmire? Not what you can imagine."
Lu Zheng scratched his hair: "Brother, you misunderstood, I really don't know him... well, I will never see him again, I swear." No one believed the truth, Lu Zheng almost wanted to cry no tears.
After hearing his assurance, Lu Che finally looked better.
Lu Zheng thought of Zhao Xueqian again, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, was that person who wrote these two files earlier?"
Lu Che nodded: "He has a lot of research in criminal law, and he is also very capable in judging cases, but he is rigid and upright and doesn't know how to adapt."
Lu Zheng snorted, he could see that his eldest brother still had a good impression of this Zhao Shuling, but he always felt uncomfortable with this person.
Lu Che glanced at him: "It's really not right for you to stay at home after you recover from your injury..."
Lu Zheng suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You can go home and study at the beginning of next month."
Lu Zheng was hit by this news and didn't sleep well all night. He woke up the next day and kept yawning. When he saw Ji Xiang packing up his things, he was curious: "What are you doing?"
Ji Xiang packed all the things and handed them over to the little maid who was waiting at the side, and then said to Lu Zheng: "You forgot, Madam said that she is going to offer incense at Fengguo Temple today, and I asked you to go with her."
Lu Zheng suddenly realized that Yun Shi told him a few days ago that he agreed because he wanted to go out and have fun, but he didn't expect the time to go by so quickly. He saw that Ji Xiang didn't look like he was going to change clothes at all, and hurriedly said: "If you don't tidy yourself up, it will be too late in a while."
Ji Xiang forced a smile and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't go out with you today."
Lu Zheng froze for a moment: "Are you sick?"
"Probably due to the wind blowing yesterday, I have a headache."
Only then did Lu Zheng realize that Ji Xiang's face was covered with powder, but the blackness under the eyes was still visible, and he said, "Then you should have a good rest." Then he remembered something, "Jin Lu has been ill for so many days, I don't know if it's any better?"
Ji Xiang's face immediately changed, but soon recovered: "I'll go visit Jinlu sister when I have some free time."
Lu Zheng agreed, and then walked towards the main courtyard.
Yun Shi was leaning on a big pillow, and two maidservants were gently pinching her. Her eyes were black and her face was a little haggard, which showed that she didn't sleep well last night.
Lu Zheng's voice of asking for peace woke her up. She waved her hand to let the two maidservants go down, and pulled Lu Zheng to look at him. She was relieved to make sure that he was full of energy.
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
Lu Zheng shook his head.
Before Mrs. Yun could give her another order, Nanny Yu had already called a bunch of little maidservants and quickly put the breakfast on the table.
Lu Zheng was a little surprised: "We don't wait for father?"
Yun sneered: "The great British government, can it still make the dignified Duke hungry? You eat yours, leave him alone!"
Lu Zheng touched his nose, and silently lit a row of wax for his father.
After the meal was finished, Lu Zheng supported Yun and walked slowly outside, just as he walked out of the main courtyard, he met the British Duke Lu Qing.
"Hey, madam, are you going to Fengguo Temple?"
In front of outsiders, the Yun family will still give him some face, and did not refuse his overtures, but just said coldly: "Zheng'er has not been going well this year, I wonder if I am too old, so I went to the temple to ask I asked Master Chen to show him."
Lu Zheng didn't hear what Yun said before, he thought he would come back after burning incense, and hurriedly said: "No need, I think I'm fine."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qing glared at him: "Of course I'm going to have a look, I'll go with you."
The head of the family spoke, but Lu Zheng had nothing to do, and the Yun family turned a blind eye and let him go.
Lu Zheng has a little bit of a snack, he is a ghost who occupies a magpie's nest, it's fine to go to the temple, Master Liaochen sounds very advanced, wouldn't he directly find this wandering spirit and burn him?
Yun Shi misunderstood his expression and thought he didn't like the hardships in the temple, so she tried to persuade him: "Although it's a little bit hard, it's for your own sake, mother will accompany you, huh?"
Lu Qing fully played the role of a strict father: "A man, how can he be afraid of suffering! It's because you are too spoiled..."
The two almost quarreled again on this issue, Lu Zheng looked at them with a dazed expression.His parents are university professors, and his family is also a combination of a strict father and a loving mother. His father is busy with research and is not at home all year round. He was brought up by his mother since he was a child, and he has the best relationship with his mother. Now his soul has wandered into this unknown world. What would happen to his modern body?His parents are only one son, will his mother collapse immediately when she sees his body whose life and death are unknown?
Lu Zheng didn't dare to think about it. After transmigrating, he has been carefully integrating into the body of the original owner, using various things to divert his attention, but this does not mean that he does not want to go back, even if he has all the memories of the third young master of the Lu family in his mind, he will I always think that I am the Lu Zheng living in the 21st century.
Regardless of whether it is possible to be regarded as a monster, he has to give it a try. Maybe there is really an eminent monk who can show him the way to go back?
He sat for a while, then remembered Bao Zheng's case file of Shuimiao Temple, couldn't sit still, got up and was about to go to Feihong Courtyard, but when he entered the door, he bumped into Jixiang who was worried.
