ancient criminal minds

Lu Zheng happened to see this scene when he entered the Lu Mansion, his heart tightened, and he rushed in three steps at a time.

Tang Min approached Lu Yuan: "Second Young Master, what else do you have to say now?"

Lu Yuan's face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down, "It's not me...I didn't..."

Tang Min didn't bother to tell him, and was about to let the police take him back to the Yamen, when he heard someone shouting: "Stop!"

Tang Min turned his head and saw Lu Zheng running in panting, "Master Tang, I have something to say."

"Oh, I don't know if Third Young Master Lu has any advice for you?"

"I don't dare to teach you." Lu Zheng took a breath and said, "I have something unclear, and I want to ask Mr. Tang for advice."

"Master Lu, please tell me."

"Poisoning is such a secret matter, according to the personality of the second cousin, how can a servant buy it?" Lu Zheng said, "He is in charge of the family business and often has to go out to settle accounts. If he really wants to poison, he can do it. I went to other places to buy poison, why did I ask a servant to buy it, or buy it in the medical center in the city? Isn’t this telling others that I want to harm others?”

Tang Min frowned.

Lu Yuan also recovered from the panic, he glanced at Lu Zheng gratefully, cupped his hands and said to Tang Min: "Master Tang, this matter is about my father's grievances, you ask me to cooperate, I am duty-bound, and I can also swear to the sky, never I have never done such a thing that is worse than a pig or a dog, if I violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning."

"Second Young Master, please speak slowly when you swear." Zhao Xueqian's voice sounded from behind them. He glanced at Lu Yuan with a mocking smile on his lips, "Why don't you listen to what Second Young Mistress said first?"

He stepped aside, revealing the thin woman behind him, Second Young Mistress Qu Shi.Apart from being in the mourning hall, this was the first time that everyone saw Qu Shi. He was only in his 30s, but he was as old as an old woman, and his eyes were lifeless.

Lu Yuan frowned, and took a step forward: "You are not in good health, what are you doing here?"

"I'm not in good health...hehe..." Qu's eyes were full of resentment, "If I don't come out again, I'm afraid it's not that I'm in poor health, but that I'm dead!”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Nonsense? Haha... Dare to do it but dare not say it! Why did I marry such a hypocritical villain with a kind face and a malicious heart!" Qu stared at him, "You want to kill me to make room for your cousin , but I will not let you wish."

Lu Yuan looked at her in horror.

Qu slowly pulled out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed them to Tang Min: "Master Tang, this is the bill for Lu Yuan's transfer of property in the past two years. You can bring someone to check it yourself. Father-in-law also knows about this matter. He scolded him and wanted to take back the property in his hands, so he jumped the wall in a hurry and killed his father-in-law."

Lu Yuan stared at the stack of papers and said, "Bitch! You're lying!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Qu looked at him with a sneer, "You bastard who killed your father and wife, you will die badly."

Tang Min waved his hand, and the arresters immediately surrounded him.Lu Yuan yelled like a trapped animal: "I didn't! I didn't kill my father! I didn't! Bitch! Bitch... Ah!"

Several police officers rushed forward and tied him up.

Tang Min stuffed the stack of papers into his sleeves, and said to Lu Zheng, "Master Lu, take your leave."

Lu Zheng frowned tightly, looking at Zhao Xueqian who was standing far away.He looked at the chaos in front of him calmly, seemed to have noticed Lu Zheng's gaze, turned his head slowly, and showed a provocative smile to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and as soon as he took a step forward, he had already returned to his usual upright and somewhat rigid appearance, as if the smile just now was just an illusion of Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng watched Tang Min and the others take Lu Yuan away. The servants in the yard looked confused and walked around like headless chickens. The most ominous premonition in his heart finally became a reality.

This mess of the Lu family was soon put on the table of King Rongzhen of Chu. Rongzhen removed the gauze with his left hand, and asked Song Zhiyi while moving: "What is this?"

Song Zhiyi opened the folding fan with a "swish", and leaned over cheaply: "Didn't you ask me to pay attention to the news of the young master of the Lu family?"

"Say."

"The elder of the Lu family is dead, and the murderer is a member of the Lu family. It's a pity that this time, the young master made a mistake, and the people who asked the fourth prince to find out the murderer." Song Zhiyi shook his head, "After all, he is still young. !"

After reading it, Rong Zhen said, "The higher Tang Min's position has been over the years, the more timid he is."

"Jing Zhaoyin's position is not easy!" Song Zhiyi sighed, "He's pretty good. This guy is called Zhao Xueqian. I heard that he is the concubine of the Zhao family. He was a Jinshi with Tang Min for a year, but he was caught by his eldest brother. With no future, if he hadn't climbed into the fourth prince's lap, he might still be poor now."

"The fourth brother is really ambitious. It seems that he didn't learn his lesson last time."

"I can't say that. I think that Zhao Xueqian is quite talented, but it's a pity that he belongs to the Fourth Prince."

"Okay." Rong Zhen interrupted him, "Last time I asked you to get the handwriting written by Lu Zheng, did you get it?"

Song Zhiyi rolled his eyes: "Hey, really, if you have something to do, you will rush me for eight hundred miles, and if you have something to do, you will kick me away, big man, don't you think so?"

Nie Zhishu, who had been cleaning his bow and arrows in the corner, said unceremoniously: "There is a bird in northern Xinjiang called a vulture. As long as it sees a corpse on the grassland, it will rush down immediately, but if it attacks a living thing, it will be timid, so Hunters will keep crestnuts and eagles, but never a vulture."

Song Zhiyi was stunned for a long time before he realized: "Hey! Big man, you can do it, how long has it been since you learned to beat around the bush and swear at people!"

Rong Zhen ignored the fight between the two of them, and just took two pieces of paper for comparison, one was the one he got in Zhuqinju last time, and the other was brought back by Song Zhiyi, although the words on the two pieces of paper Both are ugly, but the difference is still obvious.

Rong Zhen put away the piece of paper written by Lu Zheng again, and put the paper that Song Zhiyi gave him into the incense burner and burned it.

Song Zhiyi's eyes widened: "I took a lot of effort to get it, and you burned it just by looking at it?!"

Rong Zhen said indifferently: "It's useless after reading it."

Nie Zhishu didn't lose the opportunity to continue: "Just like you."

Song Zhiyi was so angry that he vomited blood: "Cousin, you don't care about your subordinates, he is about to go to heaven!"

"Look for your parents if you can't win the quarrel. I thought you wouldn't do that after you were six years old." Rong Zhen said calmly, seeing Song Zhiyi's reluctance, his face turned cold, "I remember when I told you last time, but It’s not just for you to get a piece of paper.”

Song Zhiyi suddenly fell down: "I have checked, the young master seems to know that Commander Jian, but how did he know him and how long have he known him, and now there is no way to find out."

Rong Zhen lowered his eyes in thought.

Song Zhiyi clicked his tongue twice: "I see what you mean, and you didn't intend to ask him to investigate the case, so why do you care about him so much?" Seeing that Rongzhen didn't answer, he tapped his palm with a fan again, "But speaking of it, this The young master is quite cute, fair and clean, with beautiful eyes..."

"I asked you to investigate him, not to judge him." Rong Zhen interrupted him displeased.

"Yo yo yo, are you paying attention?" Song Zhiyi leaned over in surprise, "I've been an old man for so many years and didn't marry a princess. Why do you think you have a home? It turns out that it's because you didn't meet the right person?"

Rong Zhen looked at him like a dead person: "With your ability to talk nonsense, if you don't become a secret agent, you should not starve to death if you become a matchmaker."

Song Zhiyi immediately withered.

"Don't you have a brain when you check the news? One is the much-loved youngest son of the Duke's Mansion, and the other is the notorious concubine. How did the two of them meet? There is no conspiracy here?"

Song Zhiyi bowed his head when he asked a question, and couldn't help muttering: "I have too many things to check, how can I have the time to check this?"

"You're not going?"

"Go, go, go..." Song Zhiyi was immediately discouraged when Rong Zhen saw it, and after thinking about it, he said, "No, even if there is a conspiracy, what does it have to do with you?"

Rong Zhen ignored him, and turned to Nie Zhishu: "Is there any news from northern Xinjiang?"

Nie Zhishu stopped wiping his bow and arrows, and replied: "General Su said that everything in northern Xinjiang is peaceful. According to the report from the spies, Da Shanyu's body has reached the end of his strength. Next year at the latest, the imperial court of the Jie people will be in chaos. If we can take this opportunity The extermination of the Jie people's royal family can at least bring about decades of peace in northern Xinjiang."

Rong Zhen didn't say a word. Ever since he took off his armor and returned to Beijing two years ago, and handed over the tiger talisman to Emperor Yongning, Emperor Yongning's attitude towards him has been somewhat ambiguous. If he said he didn't trust him, he would be willing to entrust such a big matter in Jiangnan to him this time. If you talk about trust, you will not return the military power nor let him go back to northern Xinjiang.

Song Zhiyi also thought of this, and a ruthless look flashed across his brows: "If your majesty keeps holding the tiger talisman and won't let you go back to northern Xinjiang, then ask Su Dai to let the Jie people enter the customs, and wait until the city is destroyed, and see him How dare you not let you go back!"

"Shut up!" Rong Zhen's face darkened, "For your own selfishness, you have ruined lives and displaced people. All the sage books you have read for so many years have been read into the stomach of a dog!"

Song Zhiyi still felt dissatisfied: "I just can't understand it. We are working so hard in the northern border. They are in Yanjing, and they are intoxicated with money. They are still on guard against you. You should let them taste what it's like to be at the bottom of the city..."

"Song Zhiyi!"

Song Zhiyi turned his face away and said nothing.

Rong Zhen frowned, and then asked Nie Zhishu: "Tell Su Dai not to relax his vigilance, and pay close attention to every move of the Jie people's imperial court. The Jie people have been too quiet in recent years, which makes me a little uneasy."

Nie Zhishu nodded: "Master, don't worry."

Rong Zhen glanced out the window, the sky was gloomy, the leaden clouds were hanging low, the bleak north wind blew across the roof, and there was a shrill howling sound, full of the feeling that a storm was about to come.
