ancient criminal minds

When he went to court the next day, Emperor Yongning really mentioned the case at the court meeting and demanded that the case be solved within ten days.The minister of the Ministry of punishment had a bitter look on his face, but he had no choice but to accept the order.Lu Che was not surprised by the information his father revealed yesterday. He was in charge of this case, and even without the emperor's will, he would definitely solve it.

After returning home from the morning, Lu Che saw that there was no one in his study, and only after asking the boy did he find out that Lu Zheng had gone out early in the morning. Lu Che's face darkened, and he said to the boy: "Go to the porter and watch it. As soon as the young master comes back, call him to see me."

The boy backed away.

Lu Che originally promised his younger brother to let him go out if he passed the exam, and planned to take him to the village in the suburbs the next time he rested, but who knew that he would go out without saying a word. In the previous calamity of life and death, Lu Zheng could be more sensible, but he still remained the same.

Where did Lu Zheng think so much, but he felt that since his brother agreed, he told his mother and went out with Ah Fu and a few guards.

Before going out, Lu Zheng made a special strategy. The inner city is the place where the dignitaries and nobles live. It has a strict hierarchy. It can be regarded as a political center and a high-end residential area. The outer city is completely mixed with dragons and snakes. .Lu Zheng wanted to go out to play, so naturally he wouldn't wander around the residential area, so with a big wave of his hand, the carriage "kicked and tapped" and headed towards the outer city.

The East Market is neat and tidy, and most of the shops in it have backstage, while the West Market is relatively common, and the things sold are more varied. Lu Zheng opened the curtain, looking at it dizzyingly.

Suddenly the carriage shook violently, and Lu Zheng almost rolled out of the carriage without paying attention. After a commotion, the coachman's angry voice: "Nonsense!"

Lu Zheng leaned on Ah Fu to stabilize his body, opened the curtain, and found that the carriage had stopped, and he only saw the trembling back of the coachman.

In front of the carriage, lay a thin and small man, who was rolling on the ground and crying: "He killed someone!... The rich man killed someone!"

The coachman was an honest and honest man, seeing him making such a fuss he could only blush, and said in vain, "No...you're lying..."

Surrounded by a large group of onlookers, they were all pointing at them, and there were a few vague words such as "The power and power in the family...it's really not a good thing..." and the like.

Standing on the shaft of the car, Lu Zheng felt a subtle feeling in his heart.

...He was "touched" in ancient times? !

Of course Lu Zheng knew that the driver would not hit anyone, he has always driven steadily, otherwise the family would not have let him drive for him, not to mention that Lu Zheng asked him to drive slowly just now, this speed is not enough to hit someone head-on What problems would there be, not to mention that the thin man was still some distance away from the carriage.

Lu Zheng thought clearly, but the public opinion of the surrounding people has been controlled, and they all came to denounce him.

The coachman looked at Lu Zheng helplessly, and was so anxious that he was about to cry.He is the son of the Lu family, but he has always been dull-tempered, and he has no good errands. He was finally instructed by the mistress to drive the third young master because of his prudence. If he loses his errand because of this, how will the family live in the future.

Standing tall, Lu Zheng glanced at the surrounding crowd, and sure enough, he saw a few sneaky people walking through the crowd. Lu Zheng frowned, but he quickly let go. He found that the two guards given to him at home also noticed Knowing this, one of them has sneaked into the crowd and is heading towards those sneaky people.

Lu Zheng felt relieved, looking at the thin man who was still howling, he couldn't help laughing.

"Who is causing trouble!" A loud voice came from behind the crowd, and the onlookers parted a path, and a policeman walked in with a knife.

He has bronze skin, a tall stature, and a square face, and he looks righteous.

Lu Zheng keenly noticed that the man lying on the ground flinched slightly when the arrester came in, but soon cried loudly: "My lord must be the master for the little people! The difficulties in the small people's family are all due to the little ones. The people work alone to support themselves, and now their legs are broken by this carriage, what will they do to make a living in the future!"

The surrounding voices paused for a moment, and soon began to discuss again. It can be seen that compared with the previous scene of watching the excitement, there is more sympathy for hurting others.

The catcher was unmoved, and stared at the surroundings with a pair of tiger eyes: "Quiet!"

His voice was loud and majestic, coupled with the people's natural fear of the Yamen, they didn't dare to discuss it anymore, and the surrounding quickly quieted down.

The catcher quickly glanced at the man lying on the ground, then at the driver, and asked, "You also said, what happened just now?"

The coachman stared at the man lying on the ground, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Catcher Mingjian, the villain drives for the young master at home. He always seeks stability and not speed. In addition, the young master has orders. Just a little bit faster than the road, it is absolutely impossible. It will hit someone. This person just rushed out from the side alley and lay directly in front of our car, and he was just taking the opportunity to blackmail him."

Lu Zheng glanced at the coachman in surprise. The coachman was honest and dull, but he spoke in a very orderly manner. He not only clarified the facts but did not reveal his identity at all. People are really different.

After the coachman finished speaking, there was a shout from the crowd: "It's all sophistry! The man fell in front of the car, and it wasn't you who hit him!"

The people who were still suspicious were also taken away, but Lu Zheng found that the policeman was unmoved at all, and even moved his finger, the knife was half out of its sheath, and the cold light flashed, and the noisy crowd suddenly disappeared. There was no sound.

Seeing this scene, the man quickly shouted: "Master Guan is in charge of Xiaomin! Xiaomin is dead! Dead!"

"Silence!"

The catcher looked at both sides with a sullen face. The old god Lu Zheng was there, so he was not worried at all. Although the coachman was dull, he stood straight in front of the carriage.

Seeing that the arrester didn't speak, Lu Zheng said: "Officer..."

"I'm just a little catcher, I don't deserve to be called your Excellency." The catcher cupped his hands.

Only then did Lu Zheng realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said, "Catcher, since this man said his leg was injured, why don't you call a doctor first?"

The policeman nodded quickly, and pointed to the coachman: "You can find a doctor around to see him."

The coachman nodded and was about to leave when the little man who kept crying shouted quickly: "Who knows if the doctor you found is with you? You hurt me and you want to use this trick to hurt me." I."

Lu Zheng frowned, he finally went out, he really didn't want to waste time because of this kind of thing, so he wanted to find a ladder for this person to get off, who knew he was so greedy, he really wanted money but not life.

"Then what do you want to do?"

The man rolled his eyes and shouted: "I have lost my livelihood, of course you have to pay for it."

Lu Zheng sneered: "Then how much do you want to pay?"

The man was overjoyed: "Five...no, 100 taels!"

Immediately there were exclamations from the surroundings. According to the exchange rate of gold and silver in the Great Xia Dynasty, a consistent copper coin is equal to one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver is equal to one gold. A consistent copper coin can meet all the expenses of an ordinary family in one month. For them, 100 taels Already a huge sum of money.

To the Lu family, the 100 taels was nothing, even the coachman relaxed his face, just waiting for Ah Fu to take the money to avert the disaster.

"It's not expensive." Lu Zheng nodded, but the policeman's face darkened, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Lu Zheng's turned eyes.

Lu Zheng took out a silk handkerchief and slowly wiped his fingers, "However, when my coachman bought it, it was less than a tael of silver, because it is really not worthwhile to spend 100 taels for his fault."

The man's face was overjoyed when he heard that it was not expensive, but changed again when he heard it later.

Lu Zheng saw this change in his eyes, he put away the silk handkerchief, and said directly to the driver: "In this case, I might as well return the deed of sale to you, and you can compensate the 100 taels yourself!"

The coachman quickly knelt down and cried, "Young master, how can the young one have so much money to pay back to him!"

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Then I'll give you a solution, you just drive a carriage and kill him, and then you kill him, I will take care of your wife and children, how about it?"

There was an uproar at the scene, and the people who were inclined to them also became agitated, talking about Lu Zheng's black heart, and sympathizing with the poor driver at the same time.

The policeman was not as angry as they were, but just stood aside and watched.Lu Zheng didn't let him go, turned his eyes and said, "Catcher, is this against the criminal law?"

The policeman pondered for a moment: "If you return the deed of selling your life, the driver will be free. If he kills someone, he should bear full responsibility himself. It's just that everyone present heard what you just said, and they will also be held accountable." Sentenced to the punishment of abetting."

"Punishment for instigation?" Lu Zheng showed an interesting smile, "How should I be sentenced?"

"Ten boards." The policeman said with a serious look.

"I don't know if you can use gold and silver to pay off the punishment?"

The policeman pondered for a while, and then said: "Yes, ten taels of silver can be worth a board."

Lu Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, Ah Fu, take out his deed of sale and money."

Ah Fu stood in the carriage, took out a piece of paper from his body, and took out a banknote of 100 taels of silver.There was an uproar all around, and even the expression of the man lying on the ground changed.

The coachman just raised his head to look at Lu Zheng, struggling with pain on his face, but saw that Lu Zheng's expression didn't change a bit, and he kowtowed heavily after a long time: "Yes, thank you, young master!"

The onlookers were stunned, and the man lying on the ground was also stunned. He thought that Lu Zheng would either admit that he was unlucky and lose money, or he would bargain with him. Who knew that if he disagreed with him, he would kill someone.

Seeing that the coachman had climbed into the carriage and raised his whip.

"Snapped!"

"Ow!"

Almost at the same time as the whip sounded, the man lying on the ground jumped up and ran out of the crowd with lightning speed.

But the catcher had been prepared for a long time, as soon as he realized that the man wanted to escape, he caught him back in time.

Lu Zheng folded his arms with a smile: "It seems that the injury is not serious, he can run and jump."

The coachman just waved his empty whip on the carriage, seeing that the man who touched porcelain had been arrested, he got out of the carriage and stood obediently behind Lu Zheng.

The policeman stepped on the man's back: "Say, what's going on?"

The man realized that he was being tricked by someone, and wanted to slander Lu Zheng with dirty water, but he saw the man clapping his hands: "Don't worry, Lord Catcher, he refuses to speak, let his accomplice speak for him, how about it? "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man in a gray suit carrying two men out of the crowd, and threw them to the ground.

The two of them were thrown into a daze, a gleaming knife was placed on his neck, someone asked coldly: "Say."

These few people knew that they had kicked the iron plate, and confessed their crimes tearfully, and the crowd uttered contempt.
