ancient criminal minds

Lu Zheng woke up from a coma again, seeing Yun's red-eyed in front of the bed and a row of little maids kneeling below him, he felt absurd as if he had time traveled and been reborn.

Seeing him waking up, Yun's tears that had been suppressed rolled down again.Seeing that the master was sobbing, Yumao hurriedly went out and called the doctor in.

The doctor checked it again and showed a brisk expression: "Madam Lu, don't worry, the third young master will be fine when he wakes up. As long as the medicine on his forehead is changed on time, there will be no scars at a young age. Oh, I will prescribe two more qi tonics." The blood medicine will heal soon."

Yun wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Nurse Yu, take Dr. He to prescribe medicine."

Nanny Yu led the doctor out, and brought a group of little maids out as well.

Lu Zheng looked helplessly at his mother who was crying silently, and wanted to scratch his forehead, but his hand was held down immediately, Yun Shi gave him a look, and his voice was still nasal: "Don't move."

"Oh." Lu Zheng's hand obediently retracted back into the bed.

Seeing his appearance, Yun couldn't hold back her tears: "You debt collector, you have accidents every three days, just like your elder brother, you don't want to worry about your mother."

Lu Zheng wailed in his heart, it seems that the elder brother's injury was not hidden, where are you, elder brother?He couldn't bear the double tears alone.

When Cao Cao arrived, Lu Che opened the door and walked in. Although he still had a serious expression on his face, Lu Zheng seemed to feel that he was much more relaxed.

Yun shi complained a few more words, stopped disturbing the two brothers, and went out to make tonic for Lu Zheng.

After her figure disappeared behind the door, Lu Zheng wiped off his sweat with lingering fear on his face.

"You, my mother will scold you for being a little heartless again." Lu Che shook his head helplessly.

Lu Zheng quickly retorted: "Mother is also worried about you, if she didn't find out about your injury, she wouldn't be so sad."

"A certain person has been dizzy for two days and ignores everything. If it wasn't for helping you clean up the mess, I wouldn't have been discovered." Lu Che squeezed the space between his brows, "If you don't wake up, mother will probably come to me desperately .”

Lu Zheng was surprised: "Two days?! Then... what about the case?"

"Don't worry, the case has been solved and the culprit has been caught." Speaking of this, Lu Che said in a lighter tone, "Thanks to you this time, Your Majesty is very happy, I have already written a note to ask for credit for you .”

Lu Zheng scratched his head embarrassingly: "...it's nothing, it's enough to help."

Lu Che said again: "After experiencing these things, you have grown up, and you don't look good even if you are white. If you are really interested in prisons, come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice after the spring of next year."

"It's not very good..." Lu Zheng also hesitated, but he felt a little bit inexplicably happy in his heart. It feels good to be dumped as a national civil servant after a disagreement.

"It's nothing serious." Lu Che said lightly.

This family is really so cruel and domineering...

Before Lu Zheng had a moment of joy, he hurriedly asked again, "Can I meet the murderer?"

Lu Che frowned.

Lu Zheng pretended to be pitiful: "At least I need to know how you caught him."

"... His name is Zhang Hu. He lost his mother when he was young. His father was addicted to alcohol and beat him when he was drunk. Later, there was a famine in his hometown. His father was killed while robbing food. He followed a group of refugees to participate in the festival. After joining the army, he was wounded on the battlefield, and just in time for the victory in the battle, he got a good job and was dismissed and returned to the field."

"He had been in the army for many years, and he didn't have any skills to make a living. Fortunately, he brought a large amount of gold and silver, and he was honest and dull, so he was coveted by others. He cheated all his money with a fairy dance. After a few years in his hometown, there was nothing he could do. Hearing that his colleague was a petty official in Yanjing, he ran all the way here to join him. .”

"This man is usually taciturn and doesn't go out with others to fool around. When we caught him, his officers and colleagues didn't believe him until the human skin was found in his room and the wound on his arm was evidence. That's what made him fall for the law."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he let out a long breath: "A person who is usually so honest, who would have thought that he is such a cruel murderer. He can only say that he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart."

Lu Zheng just sighed and didn't speak.

"Here we are." Bao Zheng led him to the innermost cell, "Ask whatever you want." Then he walked out.

As Bao Zheng's footsteps went away, there was the sound of chains colliding in the cell, and a man of medium build appeared in front of Lu Zheng. Just like what many people described, this man with an ordinary face and an ordinary body was completely honest. Dumb faithful portrayal.

He even smiled honestly at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng looked at him, and suddenly he didn't know what to ask. He had never had this kind of experience before. He was able to make a profile, but when he really faced such an honest and honest person who seemed a little pitiful, he really didn't know what to ask. It is impossible to imagine that he is such a cruel murderer.

"You... why did you kill them?" Lu Zheng asked after a long time.

Zhang Hu seemed a little dazed, but he answered honestly: "There is no reason, I will kill when I see it."

He smiled at Lu Zheng again: "Young master, I have seen you before."

Lu Zheng was taken aback.

"It's at Fengguo Temple." He seemed to recall, "That woman threw herself into your arms, but her eyes were not looking at you, but your power and money. A villain with that kind of eyes would never Admit it wrong, those women are monsters in beauty skin, they... should be punished."

Lu Zheng was frightened by the cruelty in his eyes and took a step back.He recalled that day at Fengguo Temple, he felt someone peeping at him, he always thought that person was Jian Yu, but in fact it was Zhang Hu, who was ordered to patrol the city camp that day to maintain order, he should have thought of it, but subconsciously ignored.

"You..." He collected himself, "Why did you leave the barracks?"

Zhang Hu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask such an irrelevant question, he frowned, as if it was a little difficult to say, but he probably thought that everyone was going to die, so he simply replied: "To tell you the truth, little People are afraid. Every time they come back from war, villains can’t fall asleep. They dream of killing people, beheading them, or being beheaded by them. After being injured a little, they took the opportunity to find a good place to return to their hometown. People have always been afraid to tell others the reason, for fear of being laughed at. Now that they are about to die, they can’t care about it.”

Lu Zheng was silent. He probably understood that Zhang Hu was a typical PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), especially among some American veterans of the Vietnam War. However, in ancient times, no one could understand Zhang Hu, nor did he. It can be said that in the end, because of various incidents, the depression became a murderer.

He asked Zhang Hu the last question: "Do you regret it?"

Zhang Hu thought for a while, but slowly raised the corners of his mouth. The sunlight from the narrow cell window shone on his distorted face. This honest man finally took off his mask, revealing the devil hidden in his body.

"Why should you regret it? That is... the feeling that you can never forget after trying it once..."

After walking out of the cell, Lu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.Looking at the bright sunshine outside, I suddenly feel that it is so good to be alive.

Bao Zheng walked over: "How is it?"

"When is the death penalty? Do you have to wait until after the fall?" Lu Zheng asked.

Bao Zheng rubbed his chin: "This case is too big. There are rumors in the streets and alleys. It is said that the superior has issued an order to beheaded and abandon the market at Caishikou three days later."

Lu Zheng nodded. He didn't feel sorry for Zhang Hu. He never thought that mental illness could escape legal sanctions. PTSD is indeed pitiful, but who would sympathize with those innocent girls?

"That's right." Bao Zheng hesitated, "Young Master Jian has also been released. He asked me about you, but I didn't dare to say more."

"Oh." Lu Zheng responded. His heart towards Jian Yu was very complicated. On the one hand, he was curious about the part of his memory that he had lost. On the other hand, he was also curious about Jian Yu in his heart. He always felt that this In terms of human character, darkness and light are intertwined, with a warm and soft side, but also a cruel and cold side.

If it was Lu Zheng who had just crossed over, he might approach him to study it, but now Lu Zheng has understood that he doesn't want to affect his parents and elder brother because of what he did. If the other party treats him sincerely, he will reply sincere.He is not just Lu Zheng, he is also Lu San of the Lu family, and Lu San should not do these things.

Bao Zheng sent him to the gate of the prison, and Chang Shan Chang Shui, who was standing on the side as a pillar, immediately surrounded him and stood close to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng was also a little helpless, because Chang Shan Chang Shui didn't know how many times he had been hit by the board because of several accidents. Fortunately, they didn't resent him because of this, instead they tried their best to protect him.

Bao Zheng rubbed his nose: "Then I'll go back first, that boy Dendrobium won't eat when he's busy, I have to go and see him."

"Okay." Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Brother Bao, goodbye."

"Hey!" Bao Zheng watched him leave, still muttering in his heart: This young master is so obedient, why doesn't Dendrobium learn from others?

Back at Zhuqin Residence, before Lu Zheng could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Ji Xiang walking in, wiping his tears, and knelt at his knees: "Master."

Lu Zheng frowned: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Ji Xiang looked up at him, and muttered, "Sister Jinlu is leaving, she wants to give you a final kowtow."

Lu Zheng suddenly remembered that Jinlu is no better than Jixiang, the mistakes she made are absolutely unforgivable, and she can only be sold out.He had been deliberately avoiding this question before, but when he really heard the news, he still felt very uncomfortable.

He nodded and said softly, "Let her in."

The door was pushed open again, and Jin Lu walked in slowly, her steps were somewhat unnatural, but she still refused Ji Xiang's support, walked to him step by step, knelt down and kowtowed slowly.

"Sin slave Jinlu, I have seen the young master."

Lu Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable, he raised his hand: "Get up."

Jin Lu slowly raised her head. She used to be beautiful, but now she is pale and haggard, but her every move is still graceful and elegant, not because of the change of circumstances, she has become self-pitying or blaming others.

"Do you... have anything to say?"

Jin Lu showed a smile: "Sin slaves are all to blame for themselves today, and they don't blame anyone. Although they were sold, they got rid of that family, but the sin slaves feel much easier. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Thinking of her wretched family, Lu Zheng couldn't help but sympathize with her, looking at the red mark on Jin Lu's forehead, he couldn't bear to say: "I will tell my mother, try to let you go to a better place .” He still couldn’t say the word selling.

Jin Lu laughed, "Master, do you think I'm here to be pitiful?"

Lu Zheng didn't speak.

"My crime is unforgivable, and I should accept the punishment, but I don't bother to beg for my own crime." Jin Lu said word by word, "Master, don't underestimate me, you also underestimate yourself."

Perhaps because she has accepted her fate, Jin Lu no longer hides her true nature, revealing the sharpness and arrogance hidden under her gentle appearance, which makes Lu Zheng suddenly stunned.

Seeing his dumbfounded appearance, Jin Lu's brows and eyes softened. He is young, handsome and considerate. Which daughter doesn't love her, but after all, it is predestined. The last time she saw him, it was not only a whole scene The friendship between master and servant can be regarded as fulfilling my last thought.
