Since Wang Datou left office, everyone in Shuntian Prefecture has felt much more relaxed. No one expected that the new Shuntian Prefecture Governor would be Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan, but the officials who had suffered from Wang Datou's abuse had never expected the warm and elegant attitude of Qin Guogong after he took office. It was like a spring breeze, making people happy to be driven by him.
In addition, there were fewer cases in recent days, so people were naturally talking about it behind his back. Wang Datou's departure must have taken away all the bad luck of Shuntian Prefecture!
However, after a few months of leisure, the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, which spent its days dealing with cases that the Daxing and Wanping county yamen could not solve, finally faced another huge storm on this day.
When Zhang Shou had Ah Liu carry a limp man to the Shuntian government office, and followed the informant into the Imperial College, trying to frame Lu Zhu, the son of Lu Wan, the former Minister of War and current Director of Daming Public Academy, but was caught red-handed, the news spread like wildfire, and many officials were beating their chests and stamping their feet in secret.
Could it be that this Dr. Zhang is a disaster? It has only been a short time since he returned to Beijing, and something like this has happened! It is because the Imperial College and Shuntian Prefecture are too close to each other, otherwise people would definitely think of the county government first, and not all people and cases would be brought to Shuntian Prefecture!
The one who felt the most headache was none other than Song Tui Guan, who was trusted by Wang Jie, the former governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and who was also trusted by Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin. But even so, he still took the guy in, and then summoned a team of capable people to start the trial in the Criminal Court. As for Zhang Shou and Ah Liu, they were invited by Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin, to the second hall to talk.
Compared with Lu Wan, Zhang Shou and Qin Duke Zhang Chuan had only met a few times in total. The circumstances of this meeting were particularly delicate, but Zhang Chuan was still as calm and composed as ever, and his words and actions revealed the gentleness that came from a scholarly family. Zhang Shou couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Chen had developed such a completely different personality because he had such an elusive father.
Seeing that Zhang Chuan did not ask what the prisoner he and Ah Liu brought over had used to frame Lu Sanlang, and did not ask why Lu Sanlang himself did not come over, but he and Ah Liu did it for him, Zhang Shou simply took out the small and exquisite wooden figure in his arms. As expected, the moment he took out the thing, he saw that the gentle face of Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan was instantly broken, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
However, Zhang Shou pretended not to notice the change and handed the item over with both hands with a smile: "Zhang Dayin, this is what the man tried to secretly put into the residence of Lu Zhuhao, the head of Jiuzhang Hall."
Zhang Chuan took a deep breath, then shook his sleeves and stretched out his hands to take it. After looking at it for a moment, he raised his head to glance at Zhang Shou, then lowered his head to look carefully again, his brows were getting more and more furrowed, until he finally turned to the bottom, he finally saw the words clearly, and his stiff expression just now relaxed slightly, but it revealed undisguised suspicion.
“This thing… should be something that the emperor has, right?” The look on his face while scolding was exactly the same as that of the emperor when he was young!
"That's my guess." Zhang Shou laughed and said nonchalantly, "And it looks like it was something the emperor had when he was younger. It might have been a birthday gift or something like that, and it would only be presented to him by someone very close to him. Of course, it's possible that the emperor himself found it interesting, so he had it carved and played with it. In short, I've asked Lu Zhu to notify the Duke Zhao's Mansion."
