ancient criminal minds

After the skinning case, Lu Che knew Zhao Xueqian's identity. He wanted to find a chance to transfer him from the criminal department, but he was poisoned first.

Lu Che was unwilling to deal with the princes. Now that Tang Min dragged Zhao Xueqian into this case, he was afraid that the fourth prince would find an opportunity to sneak in.But Tang Min and Zhao Xueqian are the same age, and they have a good relationship, but his relationship with Tang Min... It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, you don't even need to think about who Tang Min will believe.

If he hadn't been bedridden, Lu Che would have found a way to take over the case, but now he can only pin his hopes on Lu Zheng.

"Brother, are you serious?" Lu Zheng's eyes widened, his face showing surprise, "Let me participate in this case?"

"Aren't you from the Ministry of Criminal Justice now?" Lu Che asked back.

Lu Zheng is indeed interested, not to mention that the case involves the eldest brother, but the Lu family's ulterior motives have caused the case to fall into the fog. If the case can be solved, it should be a great sense of accomplishment.

Lu Che said: "I asked Suifeng to bring back the token and official uniform for you, and put them in your room. Remember to take the token with you when you go."

"Got it." Isn't it just a work permit?Lu Zheng understood in seconds.

"Don't get rid of Chang Shan Chang Shui, I will let them follow you every step of the way."

"Oh." Lu Zheng suddenly froze.

"Father..." Lu Che paused, "I'll tell him."

"That's great No, I mean, in front of my father, your words are more effective than mine."

"Also." Lu Che took out a copybook out of nowhere, "You don't need to go to home school for now, but you have to practice the calligraphy for me!"

"..." Brother, you are really obsessed with my writing.

So, Lu Zheng took his elder brother's eagerness to go to the Lu residence.At this time, Jing Zhaoyin and Tang Min had already entered the Lu residence with Zhao Xueqian, and they were questioning everyone in the Lu family.

After asking around, Tang Min tugged at the collar of his official uniform in annoyance: "Brother Zhao, what did you see?"

Zhao Xueqian pondered for a moment, and said to Tang Min: "If we want to talk about it, everyone in the Lu family is suspicious."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"Master Lu's first concubine's concubine died early, and the eldest and youngest wife's only son, Mrs. Lin, also died. Mr. Lu wanted Lin to record the concubine under his name so as not to cut off the eldest son's lineage, but Lin was unwilling, and even openly I have contradicted Master Lu, and I have a bad relationship with Master Lu's step-wife Wu, this is one of them."

"Secondly, the second son, Lu Yuan, is a concubine, and his mother is just a housemaid, but since the death of the elder brother, he has been in charge of the Lu family, big and small. It's a pity that Master Lu is only indifferent to him, but instead He dotes on the youngest son born to his step-wife even more, but how can Lu Yuan be willing to be inferior to others when he is capable?"

Tang Min shook his head: "We have all seen this Lu Yuan, he is honest and filial, so we may not be able to do such a thing."

Zhao Xueqian just smiled: "Brother Tang, I'm just listing the circumstances of the people in this mansion and their motives for killing. It doesn't matter what their personalities are. Only in this way can we not be biased."

"I misunderstood." Tang Min said bluntly, "Brother Zhao has always been upright, so I thought of you as soon as a case came out. What is his motive for a child who is [-] years old?"

"Lao Wu is a child, but his mother is not." Zhao Xueqian said calmly, "Wu's desire to bury Master Lu as soon as possible is correct in terms of customs, but it doesn't make sense in terms of reason. As Lu The master's wife should want to catch the murderer more than anyone else, but her behavior like this really doesn't look like a newly mourned person."

"So, Wu's suspicion is the biggest?"

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xueqian said indifferently, "I feel that the third and fourth families are the biggest suspects."

"Why is that?"

"Three bedrooms and four bedrooms seem to have no dispute, but they are neither the eldest nor the heir, and they are not favored by Master Lu, and they don't manage the family property like Lu Yuan. If they really wait until Master Lu's hundred years, wouldn't the two brothers have to share How many acres of Susukida and several hundred taels of silver?" Zhao Xueqian changed the subject, "Now that Master Lu has passed away suddenly, the fifth house has not been separated, and the younger brother is still young, if they can get the support of most of the elders of the Lu family, they will be separated. The family property that comes out is considerable.”

Tang Min shook his head helplessly: "The big family has many disputes, and it makes a case so complicated."

Lu Zheng outside the door was in a daze. Because of Jian Yu, he was very prejudiced against Zhao Xueqian, thinking that he was just a deceitful person, but Zhao Xueqian's analysis pierced his sense of superiority and made him face up to this opponent .

"Master Lu, why are you standing here?" Bao Zheng's words interrupted Lu Zheng's meditation.

The two people in the room also looked over, Lu Zheng was a little embarrassed, after all, it's not moral to eavesdrop on others, but he still had the cheek to say hello to them.

Tang Min was in his thirties, white and fat, with a smile on his face, and looked very amiable.He was the number one scholar back then, and his official career was prosperous all the way. He became the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture the year before last. If there is no accident, he was definitely a feudal official in charge of one side when he was in his forties. If he is lucky, he may be able to become a minister in the future Fu, such a person is naturally the target of all parties, but he is smooth, the most slippery, and has always kept a distance from all parties.

Tang Min found that Lu Zheng was not angry when he eavesdropped, and said with a smile, "It turns out that the young master of the British government came here to help with the funeral. It's really a filial piety."

When Lu Zheng said something, Tang Min's words determined his purpose of coming here, but he still couldn't deny it, which made him immediately become very wary of this amiable Jing Zhaoyin.

Tang Min was concerned again: "I heard that Mr. Lu is not in good health. I wonder if he is better now?"

"Please remember, my brother is much better."

"That's good." Tang Min sighed, "Lord Lu is the pillar of the Criminal Department. I originally wanted to ask Lord Lu for advice on this case, but I heard that he had encountered unexpected disasters, so I had no choice but to give up. When Lord Lu recovers, I will give you advice." Be sure to pay a visit.”

This, this, this... what hatred, what resentment!Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, thinking of his elder brother's understatement of "there are some differences in political views".But this Jing Zhaoyin's posture of putting him on the fire is more than a matter of political disagreement. Big brother, you guys have a big problem.

Tang Min talked to him a few more words, although his attitude was polite, he kept avoiding talking about his purpose of coming here, making it clear that he did not want Lu Zheng to be involved in this case.

Lu Zheng was in a depressed mood, so he could only leave sadly.

After leaving the Lu Mansion, Lu Zheng didn't want to go home right away, so after thinking about it, he simply walked towards the outer city. After listening to Zhao Xueqian's analysis, he clarified his relationship with everyone in the Lu Mansion. To collect evidence, Lu Zheng wanted to ask the servants of the Lu family, but because Tang Min and the others were still in the Lu family, they were obviously disgusted by people, so they could only save the country.

Marketplaces are often the place where rumors spread the fastest, and at the same time, there will be a lot of useful information in the marketplace, but it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.The Lu Mansion is full of smog, and bad rules mean that the servants are not strict with their mouths. Some information that is accidentally revealed may not be of value.Lu Zheng had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

Of course, another reason is that he was not reconciled to returning after being touched by someone during his trip to the outer city last time.

Chang Shan Chang Shui has no objection, as long as the young master is still under their noses, the two of them have already been tossed and lowered their demands.

The outer city is much more lively than the inner city. Apart from the storefronts on both sides of the main road, there are also many peddlers carrying burdens hawking along the street.Lu Zheng was full of interest at the beginning, but after a while it faded away. No matter how developed the ancient times are, how can they compare to the modern times? He used to always dislike the severe pollution and smog in the modern environment. I miss all the conveniences of modern times.

Young Master Lu's sudden depression made Chang Shan and Chang Shui puzzled, the two looked at each other, and Chang Shan took out the bag that Ah Fu gave him, which read "Weiyuanju Eight Treasure Duck, Dexianlou Shrimp Bun, Baiweiju Crispy bird tongue..." There are more than a dozen names of dishes.

Chang Shan understood: "Master, it's almost time for dinner, do you want to go eat something, this place is not far from Baiweiju, haven't you missed that crispy sparrow tongue for a long time?"

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up: "That's right! Restaurant!" If you want to talk about the gossip distribution center, there is probably no more suitable place than a restaurant.

"Go! Go to Baiweiju!" Lu Zheng immediately cheered up.

Under his younger brother's admiring gaze, Chang Shan silently stuffed the note back into his purse.

However, as soon as Lu Zheng took a step, a child bumped into him head-on, and he didn't make a sound when he hit the ground, got up and ran away quickly.

Lu Zheng still felt that this situation looked familiar, and he saw that Chang Shan had already jumped forward and caught the child: "Little thief! Take out the stolen purse!"

The kid couldn't match his strength, and was dragged back to Lu Zheng.He looked only eight or nine years old, skinny and skinny, with big eyes looking at Lu Zheng in horror, and kept kowtowing: "Master, please forgive me, please forgive me, the villain's heart is covered with lard, and I don't dare anymore... ..."

Lu Zheng frowned: "Don't kowtow, you stand up first."

The child stood up tremblingly, but still hugged the purse tightly, Chang Shan pulled it out forcefully, and threw it back.

The child watched helplessly, tears streaming down his face: "Master, both of my parents are dead, my grandma is seriously ill, my brother and sister have not eaten for two days, please do me a favor..."

Lu Zheng felt sour when he saw it, but Chang Shan frowned: "Young Master, this man is as quick as a habitual criminal, don't be fooled by him!"

The child was about to kneel down and swear, when suddenly a person ran by and shouted anxiously: "Tie Dan, why are you here, your grandma is dying!"

The onlookers were just vacillating, and when they heard this man's words, someone immediately shouted: "Filial piety is the first thing in everything, let this child go back first."

Chang Shan was stunned, and the child was pulled over by the man, who kept shouting at the crowd: "Human life is at stake, please let me out." Everyone also moved out of the way very cooperatively.

Seeing that the two were about to leave the crowd, Lu Zheng suddenly said: "Changshan Changshui, arrest these two liars!"

Chang Shan Chang Shui usually trains according to the military model, although his brain has not reacted yet, his body has already rushed over to take the two of them down.

Lu Zheng walked up to the two of them and sneered at the thin man.

"Brother, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Touching the same person twice within a month, and being caught straight, this is really a big crisis for You Xiaowu's business work.

But right now, he was sitting opposite that young master with a sad face, and Tie Dan, who was hired to act next to him, was catching the drumstick and eating it deliciously.

"My lord..." You Xiaowu swallowed, "Anyway, you haven't been tricked, so just treat the villain as a fart and let it go."

Lu Zheng shook his head: "Even if I'm not deceived, what about the others?"

"Don't talk about it, these two villains ran into you the first time they opened, how could there be anyone else!" You Xiaowu shouted, "It looks like you came from a wealthy family, and you have nothing to do. What are you doing for a walk around the city?"

Lu Zheng laughed angrily at him: "What? I wasn't deceived by you, but I was wrong?"

"No, no, no...you have misunderstood what the villain means." You Xiaowu hastily argued, "You were sent by heaven to stop the villain from going astray, and it is too late for the villain to thank you!"

Tiedan on the side bit the chicken leg and said vaguely: "Pull it down, last time you called him a broomstick blocking your way of making money!"

"Shut up, eat yours." You Xiaowu glared at him, then begged Lu Zheng for mercy, "The kid talks nonsense, don't believe him, the villain will set up a longevity tablet for you when he returns, and then Work hard, and never dare to come out to bluff."

"Okay, stop flattering." Lu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, "I didn't intend to do anything to you."

You Xiaowu's eyes lit up.

"I just have one thing I want you to help with."

"You talk, I go up the sword mountain and down the oil pan without blinking my eyes."

Lu Zheng silently ignored his exaggeration, and said directly: "Before that, I want to ask you, are you well-informed in this market?"

"Then you have found the right person!" You Xiaowu suddenly became angry, "This villain of Yanjing City has acquaintances with all three religions and nine streams, so I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to inquiring about news, I am afraid there is no one who can compare villain!"

Lu Zheng randomly talked about a few recent anecdotes in Yanjing City, and You Xiaowu really spoke the truth, and added his own analysis after he finished speaking, which was actually close to the truth.

Lu Zheng originally planned to find someone casually to inquire about the Lu Manor's news, but seeing You Xiaowu's ability, he took away his casual attitude by two points.

"Then let me ask you, do you know what's going on in Lu's residence in Wuliu Lane in the inner city recently?"

You Xiaowu rolled his eyes, his humble expression did not change, but his bowed waist straightened up: "You see, the villain has said so much, his mouth is dry, can you give the villain a cup of tea?" ?”

Before Lu Zheng could speak, Chang Shui couldn't hold back anymore, and glared at You Xiaowu murderously: "Bastard, let you say that you think highly of you, how dare you ask for a reward?!"

Only then did Lu Zheng realize that You Xiaowu was begging for "information fees" from himself in disguise. He stopped Chang Shui and took out a handful of silver coins from his bag.

You Xiaowu's eyes straightened immediately.

Lu Zheng pushed a silver key: "Go ahead."

You Xiaowu swallowed his saliva: "Since you asked the villain, the villain would not dare to perfuse you with things that everyone else knows, just say that this Lu family's grand master used to spoil his concubines and destroy his wives, and he always treated his wife The wife was so mad, but within a few years she fell in love with the rich merchant's daughter again, and married her eagerly, do you think the Lu Wu family is good?" He chuckled, "This rich merchant is a wealthy merchant, but this daughter is not a daughter , I heard that it was a skinny horse raised in Yangzhou since childhood. It was originally given away, but somehow he used some means to hook up with Mr. Lu, and he was welcomed into the house and became his step-wife. It was lucky !"

Lu Zheng's eyes widened, and under You Xiaowu's eager gaze, he pushed another silver key: "Continue."

You Xiaowu received the money, and became more interested: "Besides, the fifth house of the Lu family, let's not talk about the eldest son's death. The second son looks honest, but he has taken care of the Lu family's business these years, and I don't know how much money he has swallowed." , there is a small courtyard in Baishui Lane, do you know who lives here?"

"Who?"

"It's the cousin of his mother's family. The yard doesn't look obvious, but the clothes in the outer room are much more luxurious than the main room." You Xiaowu showed disdain, "But the second young lady is not a good bird. People can be regarded as bastards with mung beans, tsk tsk."

Following You Xiaowu's narration, Lu Zheng was amazed when he heard it, and the silver locks on the table were moved to his side one by one, until the last silver lock was also taken by You Xiaowu, and the two unexpectedly agreed Exhaled.

You Xiaowu was still a little unsatisfied, and after pouring the silver curd into his purse, he said to Lu Zheng contentedly: "You are so generous, the villain should also repay your kindness, and give you a message for free."

"what news?"

"Do you know Master Lu's younger brother?"

"Lu Qi?"

You Xiaowu smiled again: "Master Lu Qi is disabled and violent, if he hadn't been taken care of by a good brother, he would have been dragged out and beaten to death long ago, but such a person is actually a lover, do you believe it?" ?”

"Love?" Lu Zheng asked suspiciously, "Mrs. Lu Qi?"

"How is it possible? That's an actor. He was the pillar of the Hongchang troupe back then, but it is said that not long after Master Lu Qi died, he disappeared with him. I don't know if he died for love." You Xiaowu felt a little emotional, "If Said that Mrs. Lu Qi is really a pitiful person. With such a husband, he became obsessed with an actor soon after he got married, and beat and scolded her frequently at home. He finally survived until he died. He is a chastity. For the sake of being a man, there is no limit to be honest. It would be better if my mother's family is more capable, alas!"

Thinking of that weak figure, Lu Zheng also sighed in his heart.

"Okay, thank you very much today, my lord." You Xiaowu cupped his hands, and pulled up the iron egg who was still eating hazel, "Eat, eat, eat, eat, and I'll sell you!"

Unwillingly, Tie Dan stuffed another oily roast chicken into his bosom, and said to You Xiao Wu very unceremoniously: "If you sell it, you can sell it, anyway, it's not a good life to follow you."

You Xiaowu was so angry that he smoked, and said viciously: "I'll deal with you when I go back."

Turning his head, he smiled at Lu Zheng again: "Young master, the villain will leave first. If you have any news, the villain lives in Shilipo outside Beicheng."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands again, and then dragged Tie Dan away cursing.

Chang Shui was puzzled: "Master, how could you listen to the rumors of this little bastard? This..."

Lu Zheng shook his head: "Let's not talk about rumors, at least we know that the relationship between the second cousin and the second cousin is not as good as we have seen, and the third cousin and the fourth cousin are not ignorant of the family business. Ambition, and even Aunt Tang, she is at least incompetent in her natal family, these are all clues."

Chang Shui was still a little confused, but Lu Zheng had already stood up: "Let's go, let's go back first."

Lu Zhengzheng and Chang Shan Changshui were walking towards the inner city, before they approached the gate of the inner city, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind them.

Several people looked back, but just in time to see two cavalrymen clearing the road ahead with whips.

Chang Shan immediately pulled Lu Zheng aside: "Master, I'm afraid we will have to wait a while before we can enter the city."

"why?"

"This ostentation of throwing a whip to clear the way has always been treated only by princes. Now that the year is approaching, several princes have already entered the capital, except for that one..."

Just as Lu Zheng wanted to ask who it was, he heard two passers-by beside him shout.

"Which one else! Of course it's His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Look at those cavalrymen who are full of evil spirits. Besides His Royal Highness King Chu's soldiers, which prince in the whole dynasty has such aura!"

"Keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard."

Lu Zheng turned his head silently, and looked at the other side of the road expectantly.He had heard from his elder brother about King Chu's deeds, and he had always been curious about this prince with outstanding military exploits.

This line of troops not only had the guard of honor of the king of Chu, but also several prison cars behind, so the king of Chu ordered a team of personal soldiers to escort them.The soldiers of the King of Chu were all honed in battles in northern Xinjiang, far from being comparable to those soldiers in the capital who had never seen blood.

This line of troops was orderly and uniform, coupled with the bloody aura of the battlefield, there was no sound anywhere, and even the little soldier who opened the door was trembling.

This shows the ability of the king of Chu to govern the army.

Lu Zheng felt that he was getting more and more curious.

As the soldiers in the front line entered the inner city, they could already see the guard of honor carrying the banner of the king of Chu. The king of Chu was sitting on a black horse. On the chest, but when his eyes met, people felt that their legs and feet were weak, and no one dared to look at him.

Therefore, standing in the crowd, Lu Zheng, who looked up at him curiously, was immediately conspicuous.

Rong Zhen sat on the horse bored, he didn't like such a ostentatious way, but this was the procedure for the prince to enter the city, and he had no choice but to follow it.

Song Zhiyi followed him on a horse, nagging and telling him what news he had heard recently, he was annoyed, so he shut him up.

Rong Zhen seemed to have no expression on his face, but in fact his mind was too far away.

At this moment, he felt a beam of gaze resting on him, and immediately woke up, followed that gaze, and met a pair of clear eyes.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, wearing an exquisitely crafted brocade garment, with delicate features, even with baby fat that hadn't faded away on his cheeks, there was no admiration or fear in his eyes, only pure curiosity.

Rong Zhen looked back, he was not afraid, he blinked his eyes, and then turned his head away as if he lost interest.

Most of Rong Zhen's original boredom disappeared immediately, and he directly pulled Song Zhiyi from the side: "Who is that?"

"Hey, hey, let go!" Song Zhiyi hugged the horse's neck tightly while not forgetting his duty, "Which one?!"

Rong Zhen gestured.

Song Zhiyi followed his instructions and looked over, his eyes widened immediately.

"Fate, cousin! The so-called place where you can't find the iron shoes is in a dimly lit place..."

"speak English."

"Hey, that person is the third young master of the Lu family you are looking for, Lu Zheng!"

Lu Zheng returned to Zhuqin Residence, he wanted to sort out his thoughts, and was about to ask Liu Zhi to grind the ink, when the door was pushed open, and a woman walked in against the light and shadow.

"Drinking incense?"

Ji Xiang seems to have lost a lot of weight. It seems that after Jin Lu left, her lively and lively temperament in the past was put away. When she saw Lu Zheng, she was no longer as casual as before. She saluted properly and went to bed. Go to grind ink for him.

Seeing her change, Lu Zheng felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't feel bad. After Jinlu's incident, he realized that modern thinking is not suitable for these ancients, at least for slaves who are not free That's right.

He still doesn't agree with this hierarchical system, but he will no longer dictate things that he can't change.He remembered what Jin Lu said to him before he left, Jin Lu begged him to take care of Ji Xiang, but not to indulge her too much.

"Jixiang is a child's heart. Good and evil, right and wrong are all based on temperament. You can't protect her all the time, so it's better to let her live according to the rules."

Lu Zheng felt touched. Although he still misses hearing Ji Xiang's chirping words in the past, he also knows that, compared to those things, Ji Xiang needs to be like this now. Although she is not free, she can live on. I only hope that she will be sensible after this incident. It doesn't count as disappointing Jinlu's worries about her.

At this moment, Liu Zhi came in with refreshments, his eyes bent into crescent moons: "Sister Jixiang is back? That's really great, the young master has always been thinking about the dim sum you made!"

Ji Xiang stopped her hand grinding the ink, forced a smile at the willow branch: "I'm bothering my sister these days."

"What did Sister Jixiang say? Taking care of the young master is our maid's duty, so don't bother me if there is any trouble."

"Yes... I'm speechless."

"Where is it? Sister Jixiang talks clumsily, so I'm not dumb anymore." Liu Zhi was still smiling, telling her this did not delay pouring tea for Lu Zheng and setting up snacks.

Ji Xiang watched her laughing at Yan Yan, the hands in the sleeves gradually clenched into fists.

Lu Zheng looked at the two of them, although they were all smiling, but he inexplicably felt chilly, as if this place had suddenly become a Shura field.

He silently put the snack he took a bite back on the plate: "You guys chat first...I'll go out...for a walk."

After leaving Zhuqinju, Lu Zheng was even more depressed. He always had the illusion of being kicked out by a maid, and he would lose face if he didn't go back. If he went back, he felt that the atmosphere there was really creepy.

Lu Zheng thought about it, and decided to go to his elder brother. Anyway, the elder brother who doesn't force him to practice calligraphy is still a very good elder brother.

The distance between Feihongyuan and Zhutanju is not far, Lu Zheng passed by after a stroll, but Mrs. Pei said that the elder brother is in the study now.

"Brother, isn't he still recuperating?" Lu Zheng muttered, and entered the study through the Moon Gate, but was stopped by someone.

Since the last time he sneaked into the study and was caught by Zhao Xueqian, the eldest brother strengthened the guards of the study, and his study was also moved back to his own yard. In addition, he went to study at home later, so it has been a long time since he came to the eldest brother's study.

"Is brother in there?" he asked.

The guards looked at each other, wondering: "Third young master, my lord is talking with someone, why don't you go to the side hall and wait for a while?"

"Talking about things?" Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Didn't the eldest brother ask for leave from the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Why would someone come looking for him?"

Having said that, he didn't want to embarrass the guards, so he was about to go to the side hall. At this moment, the door of the study opened, and a young man helped Lu Che out.

Lu Zheng was taken aback when he saw the young man, he never thought that the young man was actually Jian Yu.

Jian Yu probably didn't expect to see Lu Zheng, he paused slightly, and Lu Che followed his gaze to see his younger brother standing there stunned.

His expression remained unchanged: "Lu will be sent here, Commander Jian will walk slowly."

Jian Yu glanced at Lu Zheng complicatedly, and then cupped his hands at Lu Che: "Lord Lu, take your leave." After speaking, he brushed past Lu Zheng and left with the servant who led the way.

Lu Zheng hadn't seen Jian Yu since that day in the restaurant. He kept the token of the Red Armored Guard in his purse all the time. Give it to him, but just now it has been too late to take out the token.

Lu Che walked over slowly: "Aren't you going to the cousin's house, why did you come back?"

Lu Zheng came back to his senses and told Lu Che what happened in the Lu Mansion. Lu Che sneered, "What a Tang Min!"

"Brother, how did you get into trouble with others?" Lu Zheng asked cautiously, he thought that Jing Zhaoyin had a good temper, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the elder brother did something.

Lu Che paused for a moment before saying, "Why do you ask this? I'll have someone issue a transfer order tomorrow, so you just go."

Lu Zheng sweated a little. He was thinking of saving the country with curves, but the elder brother simply and rudely stuffed him in. Suddenly he could understand the mood of Mr. Tang who often had to work with him.

"Tang Min is cunning, but he is the best at weighing things. If I express my attitude, at least he won't stop me openly." Lu Che thought for a while, looked at the innocent face of his silly brother, and said, "Forget it, let's talk again." Send a few criminal guards to follow you, if he doesn't embarrass you, just ignore him, if he loses his mind, don't be afraid."

It can be summed up in six words: don't be afraid, just do it!

"……All right."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he realized that he had been led off the topic, and hurriedly caught up with his elder brother and asked, "Brother, how did you know Jian Yu, why did he come to you?"

"He is now the commander of the Chijiawei, what's wrong with colleagues visiting each other?"

Intuition told Lu Zheng that the eldest brother was definitely lying, but no matter how he asked, the eldest brother refused to tell, and finally threw out his trump card directly.

"Have you practiced your handwriting today?"

Lu Zheng, died.

Jian Yu went directly to the Chijiawei after leaving the Lu Mansion. Ever since he knew that he was not the son of the Marquis of Decheng, he seldom went back. He might have complained before, but now he has no idea what to hold against Marquis of Decheng. kind of feelings.

Chijiawei is one of the three guards in the capital, the remaining two are Jinjiawei and Xuanjiawei.

Xuanjiawei is the most mysterious among them. It is said that there are not many people, but each one is a master against ten, and they are responsible for defending the safety of the emperor.

The Golden Armored Guards and the Red Armored Guards are two armed forces defending the capital. The leaders of the Golden Armored Guards in all dynasties are all descendants of Duke Cheng. After the eldest son of Duke Cheng died, the second son took the position of commander. Duke Guo planned to give his favorite concubine son, but Liang Jue took advantage of the loophole instead. This is also the reason why Liang Jue and Cheng Guogong's relationship is not very good now.

In contrast, the candidates for the leadership of the Chijiawei were much more intense. In the end, no one could have imagined that a kid like Jian Yu would be the first to take the lead.

After Jian Yu took over the Chijiawei, he fought for three full days before he defeated the team and gave those who wanted to see his jokes a slap in the face.

When Jian Yu entered the camp, he saw his deputy Luo Xian hurried over.Luo Xian was the first member of the Red Armored Guards to surrender to Jian Yu. Although his skills were not particularly brilliant, his mind was very active. When Jian Yu was away, he usually took care of things.

"what's up?"

"The string of prison cars that His Royal Highness King Chu brought back is still parked on the street." Luo Xian said worriedly, "Right now, Zhuque Street is completely blocked."

"Shouldn't the prisoner be sent to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment?" Jian Yu frowned.

"This...whether it is handed over to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there should be a handover. Now His Royal Highness King Chu directly entered the palace, and the people below reasoned that he did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so it can only be placed there?" Luo Xian He said helplessly, "This Suzaku Street is under our jurisdiction. If those censor masters see this, read a copy, I'm afraid the Jin Jiawei will be laughed at to death."

After thinking about it for a while, Jian Yu understood that neither the Ministry of Criminal Justice nor the Dali Temple wanted to take the lead. This was not an ordinary case, and it was probably the biggest case in history during the Yongning period.Now people from Jiangnan are still giving gifts to various mansions every day to plead for mercy, but no one dares to answer.After all, everyone knew that the king of Chu would participate in the Trial Trial of the Three Divisions. With his stern style in Jiangnan, if he was caught, it would be a trivial matter to wear an official uniform, and his life might be lost.

"Let's go to Suzaku Street to have a look."

Zhuque Street is one of the main streets in the inner city, and it is connected to the Shenwu Gate in the imperial city. On both sides of Zhuque Street are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the most obvious of which is the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Reminiscent of King Chu being assassinated in the south of the Yangtze River, and vague evidence pointing to the fourth prince, everyone tacitly looked at the fourth prince's mansion in unison.

When Jian Yu arrived, she found that most of the people were taken by the soldiers guarding the prison cart, so they were just watching. People sneaked out of many mansions to see, but the gates of the Fourth Prince's mansion were kept closed.

As soon as Jian Yu arrived, he immediately found Song Zhiyi who was standing beside him idly shaking his fan: "Master Song, it seems inappropriate to put the prison cart here."

Song Zhiyi closed his fan and said with a smile, "Oh? So it's Commander Jian, what's wrong?"

"Suzaku Street is the main street after all. Parking a prison car here is not only an obstacle to the view but also hinders the passage. If the censor sees me, I, Chi Jiawei, don't care, but His Royal Highness Chu may also be impeached. After all, His Royal Highness I'm afraid it's not good if I don't return to Beijing for a long time."

Song Zhiyi leaned over and said, "Commander Jian, I heard that you have a close relationship with the First Prince's Mansion, aren't we helping the First Prince by doing this?"

"Because of this, you can't let you park the prison car here." Jian Yu didn't shy away from his relationship with the First Prince's Mansion at all. He knew Song Zhiyi's abilities very well, and there was no point in fighting him.

Song Zhiyi was moved by Jian Yu's keenness. He didn't care about this outsider at first, but he didn't want the commander of the red armor guard that everyone was fighting for to fall on his head. Now that he saw him, he knew that the other party was not just empty. With a body of force, even his mind is so clear.

"What Commander Jane said is true." A deep voice came from behind the two, and a strong man slowly walked over. He didn't look much like a Central Plains person, with emerald green eyes and curly hair Being tied behind his head, his facial features are more and more profound and handsome, which is a kind of handsomeness that is different from the Central Plains people's aesthetics.Although he has such a foreign appearance, he has a very poetic name called Nie Zhishu. He was brought back from northern Xinjiang by the king of Chu. His origin is unknown, but he is the most trusted subordinate of the king of Chu.

Song Zhiyi also seemed surprised to see him: "Why are you here? Your Highness is out of the palace?"

The King of Chu cannot bring too many guards into the palace. Nie Zhishu will be there every time, so as long as he is in the capital, he can almost see the King of Chu.

Nie Zhishu turned his side, and Rongzhen, the king of Chu, who was dressed as a prince, came out.
