"What case are you handling?" Ye Zhen followed Lu Xiangzhi, remembering what the little official said about distant relatives of the Lu family just now, "Who are you hiding from recently? You don't want to see someone whose surname is Lu?"
Lu Xiangzhi said with a bit of a headache, "I don't know where the relative came from. He has been out of five clothes for a long time. He barely got a relationship with him. He donated money to find a member of the staff. A few days ago his son-in-law was in a teahouse with Someone else robbed a woman who sang a song, beat her to death, and in order to get rid of his son-in-law, they only came to me every day, and I was going to be annoyed to death."
Ye Zhen said, "If there are all the witnesses and physical evidence, no matter how hard you try to find you, it will be useless."
"This Lu Yuan has no other skills except that he has a lot of money. He somehow bribed the people in the teahouse at that time, saying that the other party attacked first, and his son-in-law had no choice but to fight back. Moreover, the people were not killed at the time, they died after returning home. Yes, it cannot be regarded as his son-in-law killing someone." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"This is a strong word." Ye Zhen smiled, "Is this what bothers you so much?"
Lu Xiangzhi glanced at Ye Zhen, "You haven't seen the wife of Lu Yuanwai, she can fall down in front of you, and say that we don't help from the same clan, and want to watch them lose their children and grandchildren."
Ye Zhen burst out laughing, "It's not her son who killed someone, but her son-in-law."
"They don't have a daughter, and this son-in-law is recruiting a relative." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"Why do I think this excitement is not good at all." Ye Zhen curled her lips.
Lu Xiangzhi smiled and shook his head, took Ye Zhen to the teahouse to inquire about the case, and then went to Lu Yuanwai's home.
"Who is Sun Xing?" Ye Zhen had never seen anyone handling a case before, and Lu Xiangzhi thought that she was Lu Yaoyao, and would be very interested in such things, so she didn't want to show a lack of interest, so she had to follow along However, she was a little curious when she heard the people in the restaurant talking about the murderer. Could it be possible that Lu Yuanwai was able to cover the sky with one hand in Fengwu City, and could still be exempted from murder
"It's just an ordinary scholar. He was a neighbor of the singing girl. He probably didn't want to see He Wenze bullying her, so he helped to dissuade her, but he was beaten to death instead." Anger flashed in Lu Xiangzhi's eyes, "Then He Wenze is not a simple person, listen It is said that Lu Yuanwai is running all the business outside, so it is surprising that he will compete for a singing girl this time."
Ye Zhen was a little puzzled when she heard Lu Xiangzhi say this, "Isn't He Wenze a dude?"
This kind of robbery of women is usually done by dandies and libertines.
"Actually, it wasn't that he fell in love with the singing girl, but that Zheng Shizi, who was with him at the time, wanted to take that singing girl as a concubine, and He Wenze stood up for him. As for who killed Sun Xiucai, This needs to be investigated again." Lu Xiangzhi said in a low voice.
"..." Ye Zhen gave Lu Xiang a sympathetic look. In this way, she finally understood why Lu Yuanwai wanted to keep He Wenze, "If you continue to investigate, you will offend the Zheng family?"
Lu Xiangzhi smiled lightly, "Didn't they just see that I dare not offend the Zheng family?"
Just as he was talking, the Lu family had arrived.
Ye Zhen also finally saw that Lu Yuanwai, with a round body, when walking, the flesh on his cheeks was still trembling, "Nephew Lu, you are finally here, please come in."
"Mr. Lu, I'm here today. I want to ask you a few words. Please call all the servants who went to the teahouse with He Wenze that day." Lu Xiangzhi waved his hand, ignoring Mr. Lu's enthusiasm.
"Nephew, just because everyone is of the same clan, let Wen Ze go, you can't blame him for this matter, it's all because of that Sun Xing who doesn't know what's good, we are willing to pay money, whatever the amount. "When Lu Yuanwai heard that he was here to investigate the case, the fat on his face wrinkled.
"If the judge finds out the truth, He Wenze is really wronged, and the judge will not make a wrong judgment." Lu Xiangzhi said.
Lu Yuanwai personally poured tea for Lu Xiangzhi, "Nephew, this is all a misunderstanding, just turn a blind eye and I will definitely thank you."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Xiangzhi's mouth, "You want me to turn a blind eye and let He Wenze go?"
"I told you because you are the nephew of the same clan. You really can't investigate this case, or you will have a hard time surviving in Fengwu City in the future." Lu Yuanwai said.
"Really?" Lu Xiangzhi laughed, "Not only do I want to let your son-in-law go, but I also want to be grateful to you?"
Lu Yuanwai heard that Lu Xiangzhi's tone didn't look like he would let his son-in-law off, and the smile on his face was a little stiff, "Lord Lu, I've made it clear, whether you listen or not is your business, don't regret it later. .”
"Hurry up and bring the servants who accompanied He Wenze back then, I will bring them back to the Yamen for interrogation." Lu Xiangzhi said with a sullen face.
"You..." Lu Yuan was angry, "Lu Xiangzhi, do you think you are still the Marquis Mansion? Your elder brother has already been ruined, and now you can't protect yourself in the capital. If you can't survive in Fengwu City, what else do you have?" Can the place hold you?"
Ye Zhen looked at Yuanwai Lu with a half-smile, "Whether this Fengwu City can accommodate our lord, or Yuanwai Lu, are you in charge?"
"What are you, you dare to intervene when I'm talking to Mr. Lu?" Lu Yuanwai pointed at Ye Zhen and shouted.
"She is the official's staff member, does she still have to look at your face?" Lu Xiangzhi asked outside the landing staff.
Lu Yuanwai smiled bitterly, "Nephew, we have something to discuss."
Lu Xiangzhi said in a cold voice, "Outside of Lu Yuan, if you keep refusing to cooperate, when He Wenze is sentenced to death, you can't blame me."
"My husband will not kill!" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
Lu Yuanwai's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked the people around him to stop him.
Ye Zhen and Lu Xiangzhi looked at each other, and after a while, they saw a woman rushing in regardless of obstruction, "My lord, my husband will not kill people, you must make the decision for him."
Ye Zhen and Lu Xiangzhi's expressions changed when they saw the woman coming in.
Lu Shuang'er
"My lord, my lord likes to do good deeds the most. How could he kill someone? I beg you to make the decision for my lord." The woman knelt in front of Lu Xiangzhi, begging with tears in her eyes.
"You... who are you?" Lu Xiangzhi pointed at her and asked, unexpectedly he looked so much like Lu Shuang'er!
Ye Zhen's heart was also turbulent, she almost thought that the person in front of her was Lu Shuang'er who had escaped by feigning death, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was unlikely.
"Minnv is He Wenze's wife, her surname is Lu and her name is Pearl." Lu Zhenzhu whispered, she didn't even dare to look up at Lu Xiangzhi.
