ancient criminal minds

Lu Zheng followed Yun's incense and went back. He received a gift from the King of Chu as soon as he came back. Not to mention that the entire British government was in a daze, Lu Zheng himself was in a daze.

The packaging of the gift box is very simple, but what is inside is not. The self-defense weapon that the world-famous weapon master Ou Zimo made for his wife was stolen later. After many years, he did not expect it to be in the hands of King Chu.

Lu Zheng tried this hand crossbow, and found that it was really easy to use, and it could be stored in the sleeve at ordinary times, which was very convenient.He didn't think much about it, he just thought it was the king of Chu who scared him to make amends?Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that calling him Uncle Nineteen was not so awkward anymore.

This is just a small episode, Lu Zheng is now waiting for You Xiaowu to bring him the latest news, and by the way, go through his thoughts again.In fact, he now knows a lot of information, and the psychological profile he made cannot be wrong. Just like King Chu said, how many people can meet such conditions in the entire Lu Mansion?

The first person that popped up in Lu Zheng's mind was Mrs. Wu. However, the other party had a perfect alibi. Not all the servants in Lu's residence were born children, and many of them were hired. It was impossible for these people to give Mrs. Wu According to the murderer's personality, it is impossible for the perpetrator to use such a flawed proof, so who else?

Lu Zheng rubbed his forehead, thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Liu Zhi rushed over: "Young master, go to the main hall to have a look, the master is about to fight with the elders of the Lu family!"

Lu Zheng stood up in shock: "What?!"

Facts have proved that Liu Zhi's statement is still a bit exaggerated, but although Lu Qing didn't fight with the Lu family, it was almost the same.

Lu Qing flushed with anger: "Just for such an unimaginable reason, you want to kill a person alive?!"

A total of three elders from the Lu family came. According to their seniority, Lu Zheng should be called Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, and Ninth Uncle.

Now, the three old men all looked at Lu Qing with livid faces, and the fifth uncle saw that his temper was the most irritable, so he immediately lost his temper: "Third brother, are you blaming us old men?"

"Don't dare!" Lu Qing replied stiffly, "It's just that my future, Lu Qing, doesn't need to be paved with the life of a junior!"

"Lu Qing!" Ninth Uncle shouted sharply, looking at him with deep eyes, "Lu Yuan's evidence of killing his biological father is solid, he will only lose face to our Lu family if he lives, if he commits suicide in fear of crime, at least he and his children will be given the last resort." A little respectability."

Lu Qing was furious: "Even Jing Zhaoyin didn't say to convict him, how could Uncle Nine directly bypass the law and convict him?"

Lu Zheng's eyelids twitched, he probably already knew what happened, just as he was about to persuade him, he was held down by a hand.

Mrs. Pei supported Lu Che and walked in. Lu Che was wearing a cloak, and his face was still a little pale.

"Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Ninth Uncle." Lu Che greeted them one by one.

Fifth Uncle and Ninth Uncle just snorted and ignored it, only Second Uncle raised his eyes and said, "Brother Che is feeling better?"

"Second Uncle Lao remembers, it's much better." Lu Che coughed, and said directly, "I heard that some uncles came here specially for cousin Yuan's affairs, and this matter has something to do with this junior, so I came out directly I hope the uncles will not be offended."

"What opinion do you have, tell me."

"The younger generation thinks that Cousin Yuan is not the murderer who killed Uncle Da. What the uncles did will only make our Lu family bear a stigma that will never be washed away."

Fifth Uncle just wanted to say something, but Second Uncle held him down: "Brother Che, keep talking."

"Just like what the uncles said, since it is for the sake of the Lu family's reputation, why not think of a way to clear the charges against Cousin Yuan, so that the real murderer can be found, not only to avenge the uncle, but also to show the world that Lu The clear name of the family."

The second uncle said slowly: "From what Brother Che said, it seems that he knows who the murderer is?"

"The younger generation doesn't know. But if you want to come, some uncles will also know that the skinning case that shocked Yanjing earlier was solved by the seventeenth brother. It shouldn't be difficult to come to this case."

Lu Zheng was inexplicably dragged out by his elder brother, and greeted several uncles stiffly.

The second uncle nodded: "Since Brother Che said so, the few of us have to give you face, then it is limited to five days, if the case cannot be solved within five days, then you should not interfere with the Lu family's affairs .”

After speaking, the old people left.

Lu Che also fell on the chair as if he had been stripped of energy.Lu Zheng was taken aback: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I walked in a hurry, and I'm a little tired." Lu Che helped Lu Zheng's hand and slowly sat up straight.

Lu Qing frowned and said, "What are you doing out here!"

Lu Che smiled wryly and said, "If the son doesn't come out, I'm afraid my father will quarrel with a few uncles, and I'm afraid things will get into trouble in the end."

Lu Qing snorted coldly: "This family has been in decline over the years, and they can't even come up with such an inhumane method!"

Lu Zheng was still a little confused: "I heard from a few uncles that they want Cousin Yuan to commit suicide in fear of crime. Why? Isn't this the same crime as Cousin Shiyuan? What good does it do them? "

Lu Qing was even angrier when he heard him talking about this, and before he could swear, Lu Che had already taken over the conversation: "I was thinking of going off the rails earlier, this case has not yet been convicted, if Cousin Yuan committed suicide in fear of crime, based on my family's With this ability, it is natural to be able to shift the responsibility to any servant, and it is enough to say that Cousin Yuan is not strict in discipline, but if Cousin Yuan has already pleaded guilty, there is no way to end this matter."

Lu Zheng frowned: "How can it be like this! Let alone whether Cousin Yuan is the murderer or not, what they did is too...too..."

"It's so heartless!" Lu Qing slapped the table. He has been in the officialdom all these years, and he can't say that his hands and feet are clean, but just because of a little uncertainty, because of that little reputation, he wants to let the children of his clan commit suicide ?Aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of the children in the clan?

Lu Che shook his head: "I'm worried about more than that, if only a few uncles think so, it's fine, I'm afraid they are also misled..."

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"I'm afraid Lu Yuan was plotted against by someone." Lu Che said in a deep voice, "Perhaps the murderer didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I'm afraid Zhao Xueqian also put a lot of effort into it."

Lu Zheng opened his eyes wide, and suddenly remembered that when Lu Yuan was taken away, the smile on Zhao Xueqian's mouth was indeed very suspicious when he thought about it now.

After hearing what he said, Lu Che became more certain of his guess: "I'm afraid that if Cousin Yuan dies, the British government will be blamed for forcing the children of the clan to death for the sake of official reputation. At that time, the family will not If you think about us so much now, I'm afraid you can't wait to draw a clear line with us immediately!"

"Really vicious!"

Compared to the righteous indignation of his father and younger brother, Lu Che seemed extraordinarily calm: "My body can't help it, so the third brother can only worry about this matter."

"Brother, don't worry! I will definitely solve the case!" Lu Zheng clenched his fist and shook it. Whether it is to catch the murderer or expose Zhao Xueqian's conspiracy, he will definitely try his best to solve the case.

Lu Che showed a relieved smile: "That's good, but you still have to remember that your safety is the most important thing."

Lu Qing coughed: "If you need manpower, there are still many guards at home, just let me know."

Feeling the care of his father and brother, Lu Zheng's heart suddenly felt warm, and he nodded.

Because Lu Zheng was full of energy, the atmosphere of the whole Zhuqin residence was a little different. Lu Zheng assigned missions to both Jixiang and Liuzhi for the sake of having one more person and more strength.

What Ji Xiang said was naturally about the eldest wife, Mrs. Wu. There are many children in the British government who originally belonged to the Lu family, and there are naturally many old friends. Ji Xiang knows several, and one of them is the eldest wife. in the yard.

"Actually, the eldest wife's temper is not bad, but she probably came from a businesswoman background, and she always cared about her status, especially when she first got married, she didn't know anything, she made a lot of jokes, and then she didn't like going out to socialize very much. "

"The master dotes on this wife very much. After marriage, he spent most of his time in his wife's room, and he did not take any concubines. The previous aunts and daughters are all grown up, so they don't have much interest in competing for favor. It's rare to be quiet."

"However... I heard that although the master loves his wife, he would beat her in private. I heard that the wife had a child, but she was beaten too hard by the master and had a miscarriage. But no one dares to say these things After all, although my wife's housekeeper is not very good, if someone hears you gossip, it will not be very good."

Lu Zheng listened for a long time, but he didn't hear anything suspicious. On the contrary, he confirmed the shallow and ignorant personality of the old lady.

Ji Xiang thought about it again, and then she was a little uncertain: "I heard that my wife will have a good relationship with Mrs. Seven when she first got married, but in recent years, for some reason, they have become estranged."

"what did you just say?!"

Ji Xiang was taken aback by Lu Zheng, and his voice trembled a little: "Servant...servant..."

Only then did Lu Zheng realize that he was too excited. Ji Xiang was easily disturbed since Jinlu was sold, so he quickly slowed down his voice: "Say what you just said again."

Ji Xiang said cautiously: "I heard that my wife had a good relationship with Mrs. Seven when she first got married, but in recent years, for some reason, she has become estranged..."

At this time, Liu Zhi also got the news and came back: "The doctor of the Yaolin Hall said that he did not prescribe the prescription, but the Seventh Wife prescribed it herself, and it has been three or four years."
