Daming Wuhou
Chapter 099
Everyone was staring at the man. It can be said that apart from the last time when Fu Zhi was interrogated, the man had never had such a moment of attention.But this time is far different from last time...
The man took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "Yes. There are indeed some problems with the pier, but it is far from Feng Shui, because as long as someone who is a little careful can find something wrong on the pier."
Liu Qianshi frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Changting knew that this man was not very good at words, so he interjected: "There have been accidents on the pier, but they are not serious, but if someone pays attention to it, and then send someone to dive to find out."
"It's that simple?" Liu Qianshi said in his heart, if that's the case, then the case would be too easy to settle.
Lu Changting continued: "I heard from the boatman on the dock that when Mr. Li fell into the water, someone went into the water to save him, but the strange thing is, everyone got into the water but couldn't find Mr. Li for a long time. When he came, he was already dead."
The others couldn't help shivering.
The people in the Procuratorate couldn't help sighing: "This is really scary."
Liu Qianshi frowned again: "Is it really so mysterious?"
"Send someone to find out." Lu Changting said lightly.He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, the boss in his heart was unhappy at this time, and this matter of Liu Qian was really too long-winded.
Liu Qianshi flattened his mouth and said, "Then send someone to investigate." Because Liu Qianshi is not from the county government after all, he naturally cannot command the Zaoli servants in the county government.So he looked at the magistrate, who was also very aggrieved at the moment. To prove his innocence, he had to order people to work.
But this matter is related to his innocence. No matter how aggrieved the county magistrate feels, he still has to give the order.
"I'll send someone there right now." The county magistrate appointed several people to go.
And Liu Qianshi only said at this time: "Wait a minute, for the sake of fairness, according to the Inspector General and Yan Wangfu, two people will follow, how about it?"
The county magistrate was so angry that he scolded his mother from the bottom of his heart, but after scolding, he did whatever he wanted.
Doesn't the inspector just not believe him?But if he didn't kill, he didn't kill!No matter what tricks they played, it was impossible to see his jokes.
The magistrate said coldly, "Then do what Liu Qian said."
At this time, Zhu Di also nodded and said, "Well, Cheng Er, bring someone to follow."
Cheng Er nodded, smiled and walked out with them.
Then came the excruciating waiting time.
After thinking wildly, Zhixian looked up at Lu Changting, and he conveyed the meaning of inquiry to Lu Changting with his eyes, but Lu Changting ignored him at all. meaning.
No matter how much the magistrate cast his eyes, Lu Changting still bowed his head and whispered to Zhu Di.
Zhixian was a little annoyed in his heart, what exactly did they want to do?Playing with him?
Because the magistrate's actions were too frequent, Liu Qianshi had noticed his actions. Liu Qianshi asked in a deep voice, "What is the meaning of the magistrate frequently looking at the people around His Highness King Yan?"
The Li family members were also angry all of a sudden: "Could it be that there is something invisible?"
Lu Changting raised his eyelids, not in a hurry: "Did Liu Qianshi also think that I was covering for the county magistrate?"
Everyone in the county government thought, how is it possible?
What was it like when Fu Zhi judged the case?Their memories are still fresh!It's good that they don't have enmity between them, how could they cover up?
But Liu Qian and the Li family didn't know about it. They looked at Lu Changting in the wrong way, but Zhu Di didn't say a word, so how could they have the right to say anything?No matter how much suspicion and dissatisfaction there is, they can only be suppressed.
The county magistrate himself was also puzzled, Lu Changting didn't even bother to explain, could it be that he was really helping himself this time?And it came from King Yan's instruction?The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was so, Zhixian couldn't help but believe it himself.
For a while, the lobby fell silent.
Lu Changting had no choice but to stop chatting with Zhu Di, turned his head to look at Liu Qian's affairs, and said indifferently: "Speak with facts, and please don't speculate about Liu Qian's affairs."
Being said by a commoner like this, Liu Qianshi naturally loses face.It's just that whenever he was about to have an attack, he would meet Zhu Di's seemingly indifferent gaze, and naturally he couldn't say anything in the end.
But at this moment, Yi Zaoli ran in, stammering, "Come outside, the King of Qin is here."
"What?" The inspectors thought that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Is the second brother here?" Zhu Di raised his head and asked.
Only then did everyone confirm that they had heard correctly.
"Qin, why is His Royal Highness King Qin here?" According to the words of the inspectors, the people in the inspector's department were almost trembling, because the king of Qin, Zhu Xi, was more favored by the emperor than King Yan, and he was more proud of him, so he was not easy to deal with.
"Come by the way." Zhu Di said lightly.
At this time, the restrictions on the vassal kings having to stay in the fief were far less severe.Although it is surprising that Zhu Xi appears here, everyone will not take it too seriously.
Liu Qianshi came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Go, invite the King of Qin!" After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up, and the others were stunned, and then stood up.
Before they went out to meet them, the footsteps were already approaching.
The handsome man strode in, dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a winged crown, with a golden dragon on his clothes, very similar to Zhu Di's attire, who is it not?
Of course the county magistrate had never seen Zhu Xi, but since the Procuratorate was a provincial department at any rate, he was lucky enough to have seen Zhu Xi's face. Now that Zhu Xi came to his door, how could he not recognize him?
The person in charge of the inspector's office was so excited that his legs trembled slightly.
"Hey, what is this for? Interrogation of prisoners?" Zhu Xi's eyes fell on the courtroom, "A person who is in charge of the inspector?"
"Yes, yes, I have met His Royal Highness King Qin."
Everyone bowed down to Zhu Xi.
Lu Changting could keenly notice that when they faced Zhu Xi, they behaved differently.It can be said that they are more respectful and fearful of Zhu Xi in their bones.
Zhu Xi smiled and turned his head to look at Lu Changting, then strode over directly, and said nonchalantly, "You guys continue to do things, as long as my fourth child and I watch from the sidelines." After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi smiled lightly Said: "Fresh."
But the people in the courtroom were not so relaxed. They returned to their respective positions, and when a gust of wind blew, they felt a chill on their foreheads.
Just now I was sweating all over my forehead from nervousness.
But this also has something to do with their being too young. If the prefect is here, if the inspector is here, then the natural reaction will be much calmer, and they can even be neither humble nor overbearing...
After Zhu Xi came to Zhu Di's side, he sat down next to Lu Changting. It seemed that Lu Changting was caught between the two of them.
Probably these people have never seen such a strange way of sitting, so they couldn't help but glance at them several times.
Zhu Xun didn't notice this, and lowered his head to talk with Lu Changting.
"Who is this dealing with? Changting still needs to take action?" Zhu Xi asked aloud.
"I'm just here to be a spectator." Lu Changting said in a low voice.
Zhu Xi had a look of pity on his face: "Well, it seems that I don't need me anymore."
After arguing for a long time, did you come here to support him?But Zhu Di is also here!There is really no need for Zhu Xi to do anything.
How did Lu Changting know that if he kept a person in his heart, even if he knew that he was safe and sound, he would inevitably feel a little bit worried.
Zhu Xi still wanted to continue talking to Lu Changting, so Zhu Di stretched out his hand and put his palm on Lu Changting's knee, as if guiding Lu Changting to turn his head to look at him.
When the warm palm was pressed against his knee, Lu Changting trembled unconsciously.
I always feel a little weird...
Naturally, Lu Changting had to turn his head to look at Zhu Di, who knew that when he turned his head, Zhu Di's eyes were not on him, Zhu Di grabbed the teacup and put it in front of Lu Changting, looking nonchalant.
Lu Changting: "..." Could it be that that movement was not to draw his attention?Did he get it wrong?
Lu Changting lowered his head to think on this side, but everyone on the other side was secretly amazed.
What is this young man's background?He even has friendship with King Yan and King Qin!It's not surprising that King Yan treats him close, after all, who doesn't treat his own relatives close?But if King Qin treats him well, it would be extraordinary!
Nazhi County was also a little scared.
Fortunately, Lu Changting didn't embarrass Lu Changting too much before, but after thinking about it, after all, King Qin's fief is not here, so what if he embarrassed him?Then the King of Qin is beyond his reach!
When Lu Changting raised his head, he happened to see the expressions of these people in his eyes.
Lu Changting chuckled from the bottom of his heart.
They really performed the performance of stepping on the low and holding the high to the fullest!
"I'm back..." Someone whispered.
After the voice fell, I saw the pedestrian who was sent back as expected.
This came back fast enough!
Liu Qian hurriedly recruited people to him and asked what was going on.What the Zaoli in the county government found was naturally the same as what was discovered by the soldiers of the royal family who went into the water before.Then Liu Qian's matter is not stupid. Hearing this, he immediately realized that if he indulges like this, something big will happen!
Liu Qianshi slapped the table angrily: "Who dares to do such a crazy thing! Don't they know how serious things will happen if the pier collapses?"
Zaoli who replied bowed his head and said nothing, who would dare to answer Liu Qian's words?If you pick it up, you will be angered if you say it is not good.
Of course, Liu Qian did not expect them to tell the truth at all.
After Liu Qianshi's anger calmed down a little, they dared to infer the cause of Mr. Li's death in detail: "After Mr. Li accidentally fell into the water, he should have fallen into the hollowed out place by chance, so the person who saved him After the boatman went into the water, he could not be found."
The Li family had fallen limply to the ground and burst into tears for Mr. Li.
"My son died unjustly..." Mrs. Li held her daughter's shoulders, tears streaming down her face, and the magistrate's wife hugged her head and cried along with her.
The magistrate was extremely embarrassed by the side, but at this moment he also breathed a sigh of relief. At least this shows that it has nothing to do with him...
Mr. Li will die, but he just fell into that hole due to bad luck.
The county magistrate wondered, could he just know that Mr. Li would definitely fall into it?
At this time, Liu Qianshi thought the same way, Liu Qianshi nodded, and said: "From this point of view, this is indeed an accident..." Because no one can be sure, he will definitely fall into the hole.
The Li family is naturally unwilling to accept this result. If there is a murderer, at least they can have someone to hate. If there is no murderer, are they going to hate that hole?No, no, and that damned hollower!But so what?It is also very difficult to convict that person!
Mrs. Li couldn't help but said: "My lord, please investigate carefully."
Liu Qianshi naturally couldn't hear such words, as if he was complaining that he was too rash, his face immediately pulled down, and said: "If the old lady is so good at solving cases, why don't I ask the old lady to talk about it... "
Mrs. Li was choked up, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Looking at Liu Qianshi's attitude, Lu Changting couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This temperament is indeed as Cheng Er said, it is really stinging, whoever makes him unhappy, he will immediately get angry, there is no such demeanor, How can you make the official bigger?
Mrs. Li was swept off her face, she was angry and sad at the same time, she passed away by accident...
The magistrate's wife supported her, and she cried even harder, calling her mother.
The crying in the courtroom was loud, and it suddenly became chaotic.
Liu Qianshi was full of embarrassment and had a headache. He carefully looked at King Yan and King Qin, and saw that there was no movement between the two of them. Liu Qianshi was relieved and said quickly: "Help the old lady down to rest. , what are you still doing?"
Zaoli nodded and hurried forward to help him.
Madam Zhixian glared at Zaoli angrily, and spat, "Don't be too deceitful!" I don't know whether she said this to Liu Qianshi or the magistrate, but neither of them looked good.
Lu Changting said: "What are you talking about now? Why don't you send someone to find out who dug that land?"
Lu Changting really can't stand it anymore. It's a good thing that Liu Qian can stab people with his mouth, but his efficiency is really too low!
After Lu Changting said this about Liu Qian, he also realized that he was a little slow. He coughed lightly and said, "Then go and bring the man who dug the ground."
Zaoli whispered: "I've already gone to find someone, and I'll be there in a while."
Liu Qian's face turned red: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Zaoli thought to himself, the commotion was so chaotic just now, and he didn't dare to say anything later.On the face, he dared not refute.
Because this is a person under someone else's hands, Liu Qian is not easy to scold, so he can only admit it with a dark face, but because of the suffocation in his heart, Liu Qian turned his head and looked at the county magistrate, and he also incidentally I don't feel pleasing to the eye.
Of course Lu Changting did not miss such a detail, and he was even happy to see it.
It's good to have emotions, Liu Qianshi is holding back emotions in his heart, and then he will only burst out at the magistrate.
Lu Changting narrowed his eyes and stopped looking at Liu Qian's matter.
In fact, there are two princes at the side, today's matter should be dealt with soon, after all, no one wants to bother the two princes to come to the trial twice, or even several times.If Liu Qian's affairs were more efficient, he might not be able to wait until now.
Zhu Di patted the back of Lu Changting's hand, signaling him not to worry.
Zhu Xi glanced at Zhu Di, and noticed the movement under the table, so he reached out and grabbed Lu Changting's other hand without showing any weakness.
Zhu Di frowned, thinking that the second brother could really stir up trouble!
Why is everything mixed up blindly?
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xi's hand, which was very dazzling, but he couldn't slap it away...
Just as Zhu Di was thinking about it, Lu Changting couldn't hold it anymore. Lu Changting turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xi, and said, "Why did the second brother suddenly become so nasty?"
Zhu Xi's heart felt sour, how come the fourth brother can touch it, but I can't?But anyway, in the courtroom, although there is a desk to cover it, it is not good to act too much, Zhu Xi can only suppress it, thinking that he should take Changting away earlier!Changting treats the fourth child so special, if he says there is nothing special, he will not believe it!
Seeing that both Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were back to normal, Lu Changting was relieved.
But after sitting there for a while, Zhu Xing felt restless again. He tilted his head and whispered to Lu Changting, "Don't Changting think it's boring to wait here?"
"What does the second brother want to do?"
"Go out for a walk?"
Lu Changting was a little dumbfounded, this is too much of a joke, isn't it, you just leave?
Lu Changting stepped on Zhu Xi: "Just wait a little longer."
Zhu Xi sighed lightly: "If it wasn't for Changting, I wouldn't have come here either."
Lu Changting nodded hurriedly: "I know." Zhu Xi and Zhu Di have different temperaments, whatever Zhu Xi has done, he has to speak out to please Lu Changting.
If he felt bored in other places, Zhu Xi would get up early and leave the venue. Zhu Xi looked back at Lu Changting, and finally suppressed his impatience.
When Zhu Xi was waiting impatiently, Zaoli also came back with someone.
Naturally, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di also ended their petty actions under the table.
The person who was brought in cowered and knelt on the ground, as if he wanted to bury himself in the soil.
"Look up." Liu Qian said.
Liu Qian has no other skills in this matter, but his momentum is still there.
The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground trembled immediately, but when he raised his head, the first thing he saw was not Liu Qian's matter. His eyes swept around the courtroom, and finally fell on the magistrate. .
The magistrate looked at this person and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while.
This is also normal, after all, as a county magistrate, he is busy with official duties all day long, so not everyone can notice everything, and everyone can remember it firmly.
Of course the county magistrate would not have thought that it was his nobleman who forgot about things and harmed him.
When the middle-aged man looked at the magistrate, other people were also looking at the middle-aged man, and his actions naturally fell into the eyes of everyone.
Why is it so good, no one will look at it when you come in, just look at the county magistrate?
Lu Changting couldn't help applauding this man!
It seems that he is acting in order to survive, and his acting skills are really not bad!
The subsequent interrogation became extremely simple.The middle-aged man vividly played the image of a shy and fearful man who had to speak out due to the power to save his life. He looked in the direction of the magistrate several times in the middle. Also figured out something was wrong.
What does it mean that this person looks at him frequently?
Hinting everyone, is there a relationship between the two of them?
The magistrate's face immediately sank, but he had never been involved in such a thing. It would be difficult for these people to forcefully blame him!
Zhixian never thought that this cover is set up, just wait for him to drill down!The less vigilant he is, the more he reassures himself that nothing is wrong, the faster and easier it is for him to fall in.
At this moment, Lu Changting did not expect that everything would go so smoothly.
Soon, Liu Qian's question got to the point: "Why did you do such a thing?"
"me……"
"Don't you know what kind of consequences this matter will cause?" Liu Qianshi's tone suddenly became more severe, and the unhappiness that could not be vented just now was gushing out.
The man shivered and stammered, "No, it's not me...I don't want to be like this..."
This sentence immediately cleared the fog for everyone: "So based on what you said, someone is behind your back?"
The man was still trembling and dared not speak.
"What are you afraid to say? Or is that person in this court!" Mrs. Magistrate came out and scolded loudly with her neck stuck.
The man was still trembling, but he didn't dare to speak.
Lu Changting secretly said hello in his heart!
It's just a matter of being coy, and it's better not to say it all for a while. If Liu Qian didn't wait for more questions, he would explain it in one breath, so what would happen?Wouldn't it be obvious at a glance that he was lying?So this man is smart, it is his hesitant attitude that makes people eager to know who is behind him.
At this time, someone from the Procuratorate said: "How can ordinary people easily dig the pier? If they act like this, they will definitely attract the attention of others."
"Yes, yes." Someone responded.
What Lu Changting can think of, naturally some of them can think of it.
Liu Qianshi's mind also turned, he patted the tabletop, and said: "This kind of work must be approved by the yamen, then there must be records in the workshop! Just call out the workshop records! The magistrate thought How?" Liu Qianshi turned to look at the magistrate.
Although the magistrate had a bad premonition in his heart, what they said was indeed good, so in the end the magistrate hesitated, and nodded to let the workshop official come to clarify the matter.The county magistrate was too careless, he only thought that people dare not interrogate him today, even if they have doubts about him, so what?He is innocent!If guilty, only Emperor Hongwu can convict him!
The sense of crisis in Zhixian's heart has weakened over time.
But he forgot, what is he?How can it be worthwhile for Emperor Hongwu to absolve him of his crimes.
After a while, the head of the workshop came out with a booklet. Just as they thought, there was indeed a record on it, but in fact it was more than just this record... Lu Changting noticed that the official of the workshop had looked at the magistrate several times. The expression on his face was hesitant to speak.
That's right, the magistrate has a lot of things to do on weekdays, and he doesn't remember many small things at all, but the workshop official is different, he should be able to remember everything that has been handled by him.What's more, it's such a big event like starting work?
If not for the presence of so many people, he might have to remind the county magistrate.
"How?" Liu Qian asked.
The workshop official opened the file, and he stopped after turning to a certain page, and sent it to Liu Qianshi's case.
Liu Qianshi frowned and looked at it. Slowly, his brows relaxed, and the expression on his face showed a very strange state. He put down the booklet in his hand, and sighed: "I know who it is."
"Who is it?" Madam Zhixian asked immediately.
Liu Qianshi suddenly turned his head to look at the county magistrate, his eyes were burning like a torch: "Please tell me the county magistrate, why the above records are only authorized by the county magistrate, and the project was handed over to him!" Liu Qianshi said more and more The tone became more severe later on, and in the end it was more like a shout.
Zhixian was stunned, and his heart that had just let go was suddenly suspended, and he couldn't even turn the corner in his mind.
"I..." The magistrate swallowed, his mind felt as if struck by lightning, and he was really confused.He searched hard for the memory, and finally found the part that he stuffed into the corner...
Yes……
Yes……
At the beginning, this person stuffed a sum of money into his hands through the master.
He thought that the pier should really be repaired. Didn't some people report this?It's really a happy thing for everyone to have money and to work for the well-being of the people. It's great!
How could the county magistrate at that time have thought of today?
"I..." Zhixian's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a strong rebuttal.
He collected the money, and he allowed the project!The workshops are all recorded!At the beginning, this was a normal process, and there was nothing to criticize, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but who would have thought that after so long, it would have something to do with this matter?Zhixian's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.
Who would believe it was a coincidence?
"Does the county magistrate have anything else to say?" Liu Qianshi's voice became more severe.
At this time, in the courtroom, everyone was staring at the magistrate, only the man who was taken down looked down at the ground, as if he didn't dare to raise his head, and his posture undoubtedly strengthened his confidence. Behind it is the county magistrate.
How can the magistrate have anything to say?Argue, there is no way to argue!
He was clearly an official in the hall, but now he became a suspect under his rank. The magistrate covered his face and said nothing, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He really hated it to the extreme.
Zhixian looked at Lu Changting with serious eyes.
Lu Changting was not stingy, and was about to smile brightly at the magistrate, but Lu Changting suddenly remembered what Zhu Di said to him last time, so he stopped.Come to think of it, what is this county magistrate?Where is it worth his smile?So Lu Changting just exchanged glances with Nazhi County, and a very faint smile flashed across his face.
But even such a faint smile gave Zhixian a taste of sarcasm from it.
Zhixian gritted his teeth, how could he not understand what was going on?If the previous doubts about him were just based on insufficient evidence, then Lu Changting's seemingly exonerated action was to attract everyone's attention to the actual evidence, and in this process, Lu Changting would at most have a problem. With the role of guidance, other people from the Yan Palace did not intervene, so people would not suspect them, and Liu Qianshi would trust the results of his investigation.
"You have no conscience!" Madam Zhixian recovered from the shock.
She also doubted her husband before, but after all, there was no real evidence in front of her. Now that it is presented, how can the magistrate's wife not collapse?
"I...I'm going to kill you! What kind of enmity does my younger brother have with you, so that you treat him so cruelly?" The magistrate's wife staggered and wanted to rush towards the magistrate.
Zhixian's complexion turned purple, which could be said to be extremely difficult to see.
He clings to the name King Yan in his heart.
King Yan... King Yan... King Yan!
Yan Wang is really a good method!
After the officials on both sides pulled Mrs. Na Zhixian to hold her, the magistrate looked in Zhu Di's direction, and Zhu Di was lowering his head, fiddling with the teacup in hand while whispering to Lu Changting, with a careless appearance.It wasn't until this moment that the county magistrate really realized that this King Yan, who seemed neither angry nor happy on weekdays, was really a ghost with a Buddha's face!
The magistrate's wife and the Li family were gnashing their teeth at the magistrate, but the magistrate was gnashing their teeth at Lu Changting.
Liu Qianshi said: "From this point of view, it is necessary to investigate the people who were with Mr. Li that day." After that, Liu Qianshi turned to the magistrate and said, "Don't worry about the magistrate, if it has nothing to do with you , naturally I won’t wrong you.”
But saying this at this time seems extremely ironic.
Zhixian's face was gloomy and he was speechless.
Only then did Zhu Di stand up slowly, and said: "Forget it, let's stop here for today. I see that everyone has not rested yet, so they started to investigate this matter, and you have to rest well later."
"The king of Yan is sympathetic to us, thank you His Royal Highness for your concern. We will wait until we find out who went with Mr. Li that day, then we will collect the evidence and open the court again." These two sentences will still be said about Liu Qian's affairs, obviously Haven't gotten home clumsily yet.
"Please." Liu Qianshi gave up his seat and asked the magistrate to sit back.
Zhixian froze there, motionless.
The atmosphere in the courtroom became stagnant again, only the weeping voices of Madam Zhixian and the Li family.
At this time Zhu Xing also stood up and said, "Let's go." He grabbed Lu Changting and was about to take it out.
Lu Changting silently moved his body back, revealing the other wrist that was held by Zhu Di.
Zhu Di met Zhu Xi's gaze lightly.
Zhu Xi had no choice but to let go, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, why is the fourth son's possessiveness towards Chang Ting getting stronger and stronger?It seems to be more profound than when he first arrived in Peiping.
The three of Lu Changting walked out quickly, and the people behind them breathed a sigh of relief to varying degrees.
At this time, the county magistrate had to calm down and settle down for the procuratorate.
If he hadn't thought that even if he killed someone, he wouldn't be severely punished, the county magistrate would have already put down the pick and the procurator to do it.
When the Li family left the court, they still didn't forget to turn their heads and glared at the magistrate gloomily.
Zhixian's heart was like a pot of boiling water, tossing and turning, extremely uncomfortable.
----
On the way back, Zhu Xi frowned and said: "This county magistrate can put on airs, he looks respectful on the surface, but on the inside..." Zhu Xi's words stopped short, and then he changed the subject, saying: "It's even more ridiculous Yes, he dared to show such disgusting eyes at Chang Ting."
Lu Changting thought to himself, in fact, there is nothing ridiculous about it, after all... After all, he is just a commoner, if Zhu Di hadn't been sitting on the left and Zhu Xi had been sitting on the right, the performance of the county magistrate would have been even more unrestrained.
Zhu Di spoke more directly than Zhu Xi: "It's nothing but ants."
Lu Changting couldn't help but glance at Zhu Di.He always felt that the magistrate was unlucky this time, and it seemed that he had opened up a certain side of Zhu Di's personality...
This image gradually coincided with the Emperor Yongle in Lu Changting's heart.
Zhu Xi didn't think there was anything wrong.
A child of the royal family should be born with such a bearing!
----
It was easy to investigate the people who followed Mr. Li that day. They were arrested and interrogated, and they were tortured if they didn't speak up. Even Iron Man couldn't bear it, not to mention that there was a maid who followed Mr. Li that day?Just when the others cried out that they didn't know, the servant girl relented and confessed.
So, two days later, the class opened again.
It was still Liu Qianshi who sat on top, taking the place of magistrate.
And Zhu Di and Zhu Xi also followed to the county government, looking quite concerned about the case.After entering the court, Zhu Xi said sharply: "If an official commits a crime, he must be severely punished! As an official, the parents and officials of the local people, if he can't set an example, how can he convince the public? How can he be worthy of it? The salary given by the emperor!"
Of course, this was intentionally said to the magistrate, no matter how good the magistrate's psychological quality was, he couldn't help shivering.
Who is this speaking?
It's Zhu Xi!
That is the second son of the emperor!Words carry a lot of weight!
Others cannot interrogate officials, but if King Qin said a few words in front of the emperor, would it be difficult to convict him?
Lu Changting heard it from the side, smiled secretly, and went to sit down with Zhu Di first.
Immediately, Zhu Xi lost the interest to continue talking, and hurriedly followed.
"Bring the servant girl up!" Liu Qianshi said loudly.
When Lu Changting looked at Nazhi County again, he was already sweating profusely.
Can Zhixian not sweat profusely?
He already fully understood that King Yan wanted to press him to death on the ground with one finger.
But there was also King Qin standing beside him.
No matter how much the magistrate thought about it, he couldn't understand why he had offended King Qin!
The relationship between King Yan and King Qin has never been rumored to be extremely close!
The man took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "Yes. There are indeed some problems with the pier, but it is far from Feng Shui, because as long as someone who is a little careful can find something wrong on the pier."
Liu Qianshi frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Changting knew that this man was not very good at words, so he interjected: "There have been accidents on the pier, but they are not serious, but if someone pays attention to it, and then send someone to dive to find out."
"It's that simple?" Liu Qianshi said in his heart, if that's the case, then the case would be too easy to settle.
Lu Changting continued: "I heard from the boatman on the dock that when Mr. Li fell into the water, someone went into the water to save him, but the strange thing is, everyone got into the water but couldn't find Mr. Li for a long time. When he came, he was already dead."
The others couldn't help shivering.
The people in the Procuratorate couldn't help sighing: "This is really scary."
Liu Qianshi frowned again: "Is it really so mysterious?"
"Send someone to find out." Lu Changting said lightly.He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, the boss in his heart was unhappy at this time, and this matter of Liu Qian was really too long-winded.
Liu Qianshi flattened his mouth and said, "Then send someone to investigate." Because Liu Qianshi is not from the county government after all, he naturally cannot command the Zaoli servants in the county government.So he looked at the magistrate, who was also very aggrieved at the moment. To prove his innocence, he had to order people to work.
But this matter is related to his innocence. No matter how aggrieved the county magistrate feels, he still has to give the order.
"I'll send someone there right now." The county magistrate appointed several people to go.
And Liu Qianshi only said at this time: "Wait a minute, for the sake of fairness, according to the Inspector General and Yan Wangfu, two people will follow, how about it?"
The county magistrate was so angry that he scolded his mother from the bottom of his heart, but after scolding, he did whatever he wanted.
Doesn't the inspector just not believe him?But if he didn't kill, he didn't kill!No matter what tricks they played, it was impossible to see his jokes.
The magistrate said coldly, "Then do what Liu Qian said."
At this time, Zhu Di also nodded and said, "Well, Cheng Er, bring someone to follow."
Cheng Er nodded, smiled and walked out with them.
Then came the excruciating waiting time.
After thinking wildly, Zhixian looked up at Lu Changting, and he conveyed the meaning of inquiry to Lu Changting with his eyes, but Lu Changting ignored him at all. meaning.
No matter how much the magistrate cast his eyes, Lu Changting still bowed his head and whispered to Zhu Di.
Zhixian was a little annoyed in his heart, what exactly did they want to do?Playing with him?
Because the magistrate's actions were too frequent, Liu Qianshi had noticed his actions. Liu Qianshi asked in a deep voice, "What is the meaning of the magistrate frequently looking at the people around His Highness King Yan?"
The Li family members were also angry all of a sudden: "Could it be that there is something invisible?"
Lu Changting raised his eyelids, not in a hurry: "Did Liu Qianshi also think that I was covering for the county magistrate?"
Everyone in the county government thought, how is it possible?
What was it like when Fu Zhi judged the case?Their memories are still fresh!It's good that they don't have enmity between them, how could they cover up?
But Liu Qian and the Li family didn't know about it. They looked at Lu Changting in the wrong way, but Zhu Di didn't say a word, so how could they have the right to say anything?No matter how much suspicion and dissatisfaction there is, they can only be suppressed.
The county magistrate himself was also puzzled, Lu Changting didn't even bother to explain, could it be that he was really helping himself this time?And it came from King Yan's instruction?The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was so, Zhixian couldn't help but believe it himself.
For a while, the lobby fell silent.
Lu Changting had no choice but to stop chatting with Zhu Di, turned his head to look at Liu Qian's affairs, and said indifferently: "Speak with facts, and please don't speculate about Liu Qian's affairs."
Being said by a commoner like this, Liu Qianshi naturally loses face.It's just that whenever he was about to have an attack, he would meet Zhu Di's seemingly indifferent gaze, and naturally he couldn't say anything in the end.
But at this moment, Yi Zaoli ran in, stammering, "Come outside, the King of Qin is here."
"What?" The inspectors thought that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Is the second brother here?" Zhu Di raised his head and asked.
Only then did everyone confirm that they had heard correctly.
"Qin, why is His Royal Highness King Qin here?" According to the words of the inspectors, the people in the inspector's department were almost trembling, because the king of Qin, Zhu Xi, was more favored by the emperor than King Yan, and he was more proud of him, so he was not easy to deal with.
"Come by the way." Zhu Di said lightly.
At this time, the restrictions on the vassal kings having to stay in the fief were far less severe.Although it is surprising that Zhu Xi appears here, everyone will not take it too seriously.
Liu Qianshi came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Go, invite the King of Qin!" After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up, and the others were stunned, and then stood up.
Before they went out to meet them, the footsteps were already approaching.
The handsome man strode in, dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a winged crown, with a golden dragon on his clothes, very similar to Zhu Di's attire, who is it not?
Of course the county magistrate had never seen Zhu Xi, but since the Procuratorate was a provincial department at any rate, he was lucky enough to have seen Zhu Xi's face. Now that Zhu Xi came to his door, how could he not recognize him?
The person in charge of the inspector's office was so excited that his legs trembled slightly.
"Hey, what is this for? Interrogation of prisoners?" Zhu Xi's eyes fell on the courtroom, "A person who is in charge of the inspector?"
"Yes, yes, I have met His Royal Highness King Qin."
Everyone bowed down to Zhu Xi.
Lu Changting could keenly notice that when they faced Zhu Xi, they behaved differently.It can be said that they are more respectful and fearful of Zhu Xi in their bones.
Zhu Xi smiled and turned his head to look at Lu Changting, then strode over directly, and said nonchalantly, "You guys continue to do things, as long as my fourth child and I watch from the sidelines." After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi smiled lightly Said: "Fresh."
But the people in the courtroom were not so relaxed. They returned to their respective positions, and when a gust of wind blew, they felt a chill on their foreheads.
Just now I was sweating all over my forehead from nervousness.
But this also has something to do with their being too young. If the prefect is here, if the inspector is here, then the natural reaction will be much calmer, and they can even be neither humble nor overbearing...
After Zhu Xi came to Zhu Di's side, he sat down next to Lu Changting. It seemed that Lu Changting was caught between the two of them.
Probably these people have never seen such a strange way of sitting, so they couldn't help but glance at them several times.
Zhu Xun didn't notice this, and lowered his head to talk with Lu Changting.
"Who is this dealing with? Changting still needs to take action?" Zhu Xi asked aloud.
"I'm just here to be a spectator." Lu Changting said in a low voice.
Zhu Xi had a look of pity on his face: "Well, it seems that I don't need me anymore."
After arguing for a long time, did you come here to support him?But Zhu Di is also here!There is really no need for Zhu Xi to do anything.
How did Lu Changting know that if he kept a person in his heart, even if he knew that he was safe and sound, he would inevitably feel a little bit worried.
Zhu Xi still wanted to continue talking to Lu Changting, so Zhu Di stretched out his hand and put his palm on Lu Changting's knee, as if guiding Lu Changting to turn his head to look at him.
When the warm palm was pressed against his knee, Lu Changting trembled unconsciously.
I always feel a little weird...
Naturally, Lu Changting had to turn his head to look at Zhu Di, who knew that when he turned his head, Zhu Di's eyes were not on him, Zhu Di grabbed the teacup and put it in front of Lu Changting, looking nonchalant.
Lu Changting: "..." Could it be that that movement was not to draw his attention?Did he get it wrong?
Lu Changting lowered his head to think on this side, but everyone on the other side was secretly amazed.
What is this young man's background?He even has friendship with King Yan and King Qin!It's not surprising that King Yan treats him close, after all, who doesn't treat his own relatives close?But if King Qin treats him well, it would be extraordinary!
Nazhi County was also a little scared.
Fortunately, Lu Changting didn't embarrass Lu Changting too much before, but after thinking about it, after all, King Qin's fief is not here, so what if he embarrassed him?Then the King of Qin is beyond his reach!
When Lu Changting raised his head, he happened to see the expressions of these people in his eyes.
Lu Changting chuckled from the bottom of his heart.
They really performed the performance of stepping on the low and holding the high to the fullest!
"I'm back..." Someone whispered.
After the voice fell, I saw the pedestrian who was sent back as expected.
This came back fast enough!
Liu Qian hurriedly recruited people to him and asked what was going on.What the Zaoli in the county government found was naturally the same as what was discovered by the soldiers of the royal family who went into the water before.Then Liu Qian's matter is not stupid. Hearing this, he immediately realized that if he indulges like this, something big will happen!
Liu Qianshi slapped the table angrily: "Who dares to do such a crazy thing! Don't they know how serious things will happen if the pier collapses?"
Zaoli who replied bowed his head and said nothing, who would dare to answer Liu Qian's words?If you pick it up, you will be angered if you say it is not good.
Of course, Liu Qian did not expect them to tell the truth at all.
After Liu Qianshi's anger calmed down a little, they dared to infer the cause of Mr. Li's death in detail: "After Mr. Li accidentally fell into the water, he should have fallen into the hollowed out place by chance, so the person who saved him After the boatman went into the water, he could not be found."
The Li family had fallen limply to the ground and burst into tears for Mr. Li.
"My son died unjustly..." Mrs. Li held her daughter's shoulders, tears streaming down her face, and the magistrate's wife hugged her head and cried along with her.
The magistrate was extremely embarrassed by the side, but at this moment he also breathed a sigh of relief. At least this shows that it has nothing to do with him...
Mr. Li will die, but he just fell into that hole due to bad luck.
The county magistrate wondered, could he just know that Mr. Li would definitely fall into it?
At this time, Liu Qianshi thought the same way, Liu Qianshi nodded, and said: "From this point of view, this is indeed an accident..." Because no one can be sure, he will definitely fall into the hole.
The Li family is naturally unwilling to accept this result. If there is a murderer, at least they can have someone to hate. If there is no murderer, are they going to hate that hole?No, no, and that damned hollower!But so what?It is also very difficult to convict that person!
Mrs. Li couldn't help but said: "My lord, please investigate carefully."
Liu Qianshi naturally couldn't hear such words, as if he was complaining that he was too rash, his face immediately pulled down, and said: "If the old lady is so good at solving cases, why don't I ask the old lady to talk about it... "
Mrs. Li was choked up, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Looking at Liu Qianshi's attitude, Lu Changting couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This temperament is indeed as Cheng Er said, it is really stinging, whoever makes him unhappy, he will immediately get angry, there is no such demeanor, How can you make the official bigger?
Mrs. Li was swept off her face, she was angry and sad at the same time, she passed away by accident...
The magistrate's wife supported her, and she cried even harder, calling her mother.
The crying in the courtroom was loud, and it suddenly became chaotic.
Liu Qianshi was full of embarrassment and had a headache. He carefully looked at King Yan and King Qin, and saw that there was no movement between the two of them. Liu Qianshi was relieved and said quickly: "Help the old lady down to rest. , what are you still doing?"
Zaoli nodded and hurried forward to help him.
Madam Zhixian glared at Zaoli angrily, and spat, "Don't be too deceitful!" I don't know whether she said this to Liu Qianshi or the magistrate, but neither of them looked good.
Lu Changting said: "What are you talking about now? Why don't you send someone to find out who dug that land?"
Lu Changting really can't stand it anymore. It's a good thing that Liu Qian can stab people with his mouth, but his efficiency is really too low!
After Lu Changting said this about Liu Qian, he also realized that he was a little slow. He coughed lightly and said, "Then go and bring the man who dug the ground."
Zaoli whispered: "I've already gone to find someone, and I'll be there in a while."
Liu Qian's face turned red: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Zaoli thought to himself, the commotion was so chaotic just now, and he didn't dare to say anything later.On the face, he dared not refute.
Because this is a person under someone else's hands, Liu Qian is not easy to scold, so he can only admit it with a dark face, but because of the suffocation in his heart, Liu Qian turned his head and looked at the county magistrate, and he also incidentally I don't feel pleasing to the eye.
Of course Lu Changting did not miss such a detail, and he was even happy to see it.
It's good to have emotions, Liu Qianshi is holding back emotions in his heart, and then he will only burst out at the magistrate.
Lu Changting narrowed his eyes and stopped looking at Liu Qian's matter.
In fact, there are two princes at the side, today's matter should be dealt with soon, after all, no one wants to bother the two princes to come to the trial twice, or even several times.If Liu Qian's affairs were more efficient, he might not be able to wait until now.
Zhu Di patted the back of Lu Changting's hand, signaling him not to worry.
Zhu Xi glanced at Zhu Di, and noticed the movement under the table, so he reached out and grabbed Lu Changting's other hand without showing any weakness.
Zhu Di frowned, thinking that the second brother could really stir up trouble!
Why is everything mixed up blindly?
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xi's hand, which was very dazzling, but he couldn't slap it away...
Just as Zhu Di was thinking about it, Lu Changting couldn't hold it anymore. Lu Changting turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xi, and said, "Why did the second brother suddenly become so nasty?"
Zhu Xi's heart felt sour, how come the fourth brother can touch it, but I can't?But anyway, in the courtroom, although there is a desk to cover it, it is not good to act too much, Zhu Xi can only suppress it, thinking that he should take Changting away earlier!Changting treats the fourth child so special, if he says there is nothing special, he will not believe it!
Seeing that both Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were back to normal, Lu Changting was relieved.
But after sitting there for a while, Zhu Xing felt restless again. He tilted his head and whispered to Lu Changting, "Don't Changting think it's boring to wait here?"
"What does the second brother want to do?"
"Go out for a walk?"
Lu Changting was a little dumbfounded, this is too much of a joke, isn't it, you just leave?
Lu Changting stepped on Zhu Xi: "Just wait a little longer."
Zhu Xi sighed lightly: "If it wasn't for Changting, I wouldn't have come here either."
Lu Changting nodded hurriedly: "I know." Zhu Xi and Zhu Di have different temperaments, whatever Zhu Xi has done, he has to speak out to please Lu Changting.
If he felt bored in other places, Zhu Xi would get up early and leave the venue. Zhu Xi looked back at Lu Changting, and finally suppressed his impatience.
When Zhu Xi was waiting impatiently, Zaoli also came back with someone.
Naturally, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di also ended their petty actions under the table.
The person who was brought in cowered and knelt on the ground, as if he wanted to bury himself in the soil.
"Look up." Liu Qian said.
Liu Qian has no other skills in this matter, but his momentum is still there.
The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground trembled immediately, but when he raised his head, the first thing he saw was not Liu Qian's matter. His eyes swept around the courtroom, and finally fell on the magistrate. .
The magistrate looked at this person and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while.
This is also normal, after all, as a county magistrate, he is busy with official duties all day long, so not everyone can notice everything, and everyone can remember it firmly.
Of course the county magistrate would not have thought that it was his nobleman who forgot about things and harmed him.
When the middle-aged man looked at the magistrate, other people were also looking at the middle-aged man, and his actions naturally fell into the eyes of everyone.
Why is it so good, no one will look at it when you come in, just look at the county magistrate?
Lu Changting couldn't help applauding this man!
It seems that he is acting in order to survive, and his acting skills are really not bad!
The subsequent interrogation became extremely simple.The middle-aged man vividly played the image of a shy and fearful man who had to speak out due to the power to save his life. He looked in the direction of the magistrate several times in the middle. Also figured out something was wrong.
What does it mean that this person looks at him frequently?
Hinting everyone, is there a relationship between the two of them?
The magistrate's face immediately sank, but he had never been involved in such a thing. It would be difficult for these people to forcefully blame him!
Zhixian never thought that this cover is set up, just wait for him to drill down!The less vigilant he is, the more he reassures himself that nothing is wrong, the faster and easier it is for him to fall in.
At this moment, Lu Changting did not expect that everything would go so smoothly.
Soon, Liu Qian's question got to the point: "Why did you do such a thing?"
"me……"
"Don't you know what kind of consequences this matter will cause?" Liu Qianshi's tone suddenly became more severe, and the unhappiness that could not be vented just now was gushing out.
The man shivered and stammered, "No, it's not me...I don't want to be like this..."
This sentence immediately cleared the fog for everyone: "So based on what you said, someone is behind your back?"
The man was still trembling and dared not speak.
"What are you afraid to say? Or is that person in this court!" Mrs. Magistrate came out and scolded loudly with her neck stuck.
The man was still trembling, but he didn't dare to speak.
Lu Changting secretly said hello in his heart!
It's just a matter of being coy, and it's better not to say it all for a while. If Liu Qian didn't wait for more questions, he would explain it in one breath, so what would happen?Wouldn't it be obvious at a glance that he was lying?So this man is smart, it is his hesitant attitude that makes people eager to know who is behind him.
At this time, someone from the Procuratorate said: "How can ordinary people easily dig the pier? If they act like this, they will definitely attract the attention of others."
"Yes, yes." Someone responded.
What Lu Changting can think of, naturally some of them can think of it.
Liu Qianshi's mind also turned, he patted the tabletop, and said: "This kind of work must be approved by the yamen, then there must be records in the workshop! Just call out the workshop records! The magistrate thought How?" Liu Qianshi turned to look at the magistrate.
Although the magistrate had a bad premonition in his heart, what they said was indeed good, so in the end the magistrate hesitated, and nodded to let the workshop official come to clarify the matter.The county magistrate was too careless, he only thought that people dare not interrogate him today, even if they have doubts about him, so what?He is innocent!If guilty, only Emperor Hongwu can convict him!
The sense of crisis in Zhixian's heart has weakened over time.
But he forgot, what is he?How can it be worthwhile for Emperor Hongwu to absolve him of his crimes.
After a while, the head of the workshop came out with a booklet. Just as they thought, there was indeed a record on it, but in fact it was more than just this record... Lu Changting noticed that the official of the workshop had looked at the magistrate several times. The expression on his face was hesitant to speak.
That's right, the magistrate has a lot of things to do on weekdays, and he doesn't remember many small things at all, but the workshop official is different, he should be able to remember everything that has been handled by him.What's more, it's such a big event like starting work?
If not for the presence of so many people, he might have to remind the county magistrate.
"How?" Liu Qian asked.
The workshop official opened the file, and he stopped after turning to a certain page, and sent it to Liu Qianshi's case.
Liu Qianshi frowned and looked at it. Slowly, his brows relaxed, and the expression on his face showed a very strange state. He put down the booklet in his hand, and sighed: "I know who it is."
"Who is it?" Madam Zhixian asked immediately.
Liu Qianshi suddenly turned his head to look at the county magistrate, his eyes were burning like a torch: "Please tell me the county magistrate, why the above records are only authorized by the county magistrate, and the project was handed over to him!" Liu Qianshi said more and more The tone became more severe later on, and in the end it was more like a shout.
Zhixian was stunned, and his heart that had just let go was suddenly suspended, and he couldn't even turn the corner in his mind.
"I..." The magistrate swallowed, his mind felt as if struck by lightning, and he was really confused.He searched hard for the memory, and finally found the part that he stuffed into the corner...
Yes……
Yes……
At the beginning, this person stuffed a sum of money into his hands through the master.
He thought that the pier should really be repaired. Didn't some people report this?It's really a happy thing for everyone to have money and to work for the well-being of the people. It's great!
How could the county magistrate at that time have thought of today?
"I..." Zhixian's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a strong rebuttal.
He collected the money, and he allowed the project!The workshops are all recorded!At the beginning, this was a normal process, and there was nothing to criticize, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but who would have thought that after so long, it would have something to do with this matter?Zhixian's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.
Who would believe it was a coincidence?
"Does the county magistrate have anything else to say?" Liu Qianshi's voice became more severe.
At this time, in the courtroom, everyone was staring at the magistrate, only the man who was taken down looked down at the ground, as if he didn't dare to raise his head, and his posture undoubtedly strengthened his confidence. Behind it is the county magistrate.
How can the magistrate have anything to say?Argue, there is no way to argue!
He was clearly an official in the hall, but now he became a suspect under his rank. The magistrate covered his face and said nothing, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He really hated it to the extreme.
Zhixian looked at Lu Changting with serious eyes.
Lu Changting was not stingy, and was about to smile brightly at the magistrate, but Lu Changting suddenly remembered what Zhu Di said to him last time, so he stopped.Come to think of it, what is this county magistrate?Where is it worth his smile?So Lu Changting just exchanged glances with Nazhi County, and a very faint smile flashed across his face.
But even such a faint smile gave Zhixian a taste of sarcasm from it.
Zhixian gritted his teeth, how could he not understand what was going on?If the previous doubts about him were just based on insufficient evidence, then Lu Changting's seemingly exonerated action was to attract everyone's attention to the actual evidence, and in this process, Lu Changting would at most have a problem. With the role of guidance, other people from the Yan Palace did not intervene, so people would not suspect them, and Liu Qianshi would trust the results of his investigation.
"You have no conscience!" Madam Zhixian recovered from the shock.
She also doubted her husband before, but after all, there was no real evidence in front of her. Now that it is presented, how can the magistrate's wife not collapse?
"I...I'm going to kill you! What kind of enmity does my younger brother have with you, so that you treat him so cruelly?" The magistrate's wife staggered and wanted to rush towards the magistrate.
Zhixian's complexion turned purple, which could be said to be extremely difficult to see.
He clings to the name King Yan in his heart.
King Yan... King Yan... King Yan!
Yan Wang is really a good method!
After the officials on both sides pulled Mrs. Na Zhixian to hold her, the magistrate looked in Zhu Di's direction, and Zhu Di was lowering his head, fiddling with the teacup in hand while whispering to Lu Changting, with a careless appearance.It wasn't until this moment that the county magistrate really realized that this King Yan, who seemed neither angry nor happy on weekdays, was really a ghost with a Buddha's face!
The magistrate's wife and the Li family were gnashing their teeth at the magistrate, but the magistrate was gnashing their teeth at Lu Changting.
Liu Qianshi said: "From this point of view, it is necessary to investigate the people who were with Mr. Li that day." After that, Liu Qianshi turned to the magistrate and said, "Don't worry about the magistrate, if it has nothing to do with you , naturally I won’t wrong you.”
But saying this at this time seems extremely ironic.
Zhixian's face was gloomy and he was speechless.
Only then did Zhu Di stand up slowly, and said: "Forget it, let's stop here for today. I see that everyone has not rested yet, so they started to investigate this matter, and you have to rest well later."
"The king of Yan is sympathetic to us, thank you His Royal Highness for your concern. We will wait until we find out who went with Mr. Li that day, then we will collect the evidence and open the court again." These two sentences will still be said about Liu Qian's affairs, obviously Haven't gotten home clumsily yet.
"Please." Liu Qianshi gave up his seat and asked the magistrate to sit back.
Zhixian froze there, motionless.
The atmosphere in the courtroom became stagnant again, only the weeping voices of Madam Zhixian and the Li family.
At this time Zhu Xing also stood up and said, "Let's go." He grabbed Lu Changting and was about to take it out.
Lu Changting silently moved his body back, revealing the other wrist that was held by Zhu Di.
Zhu Di met Zhu Xi's gaze lightly.
Zhu Xi had no choice but to let go, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, why is the fourth son's possessiveness towards Chang Ting getting stronger and stronger?It seems to be more profound than when he first arrived in Peiping.
The three of Lu Changting walked out quickly, and the people behind them breathed a sigh of relief to varying degrees.
At this time, the county magistrate had to calm down and settle down for the procuratorate.
If he hadn't thought that even if he killed someone, he wouldn't be severely punished, the county magistrate would have already put down the pick and the procurator to do it.
When the Li family left the court, they still didn't forget to turn their heads and glared at the magistrate gloomily.
Zhixian's heart was like a pot of boiling water, tossing and turning, extremely uncomfortable.
----
On the way back, Zhu Xi frowned and said: "This county magistrate can put on airs, he looks respectful on the surface, but on the inside..." Zhu Xi's words stopped short, and then he changed the subject, saying: "It's even more ridiculous Yes, he dared to show such disgusting eyes at Chang Ting."
Lu Changting thought to himself, in fact, there is nothing ridiculous about it, after all... After all, he is just a commoner, if Zhu Di hadn't been sitting on the left and Zhu Xi had been sitting on the right, the performance of the county magistrate would have been even more unrestrained.
Zhu Di spoke more directly than Zhu Xi: "It's nothing but ants."
Lu Changting couldn't help but glance at Zhu Di.He always felt that the magistrate was unlucky this time, and it seemed that he had opened up a certain side of Zhu Di's personality...
This image gradually coincided with the Emperor Yongle in Lu Changting's heart.
Zhu Xi didn't think there was anything wrong.
A child of the royal family should be born with such a bearing!
----
It was easy to investigate the people who followed Mr. Li that day. They were arrested and interrogated, and they were tortured if they didn't speak up. Even Iron Man couldn't bear it, not to mention that there was a maid who followed Mr. Li that day?Just when the others cried out that they didn't know, the servant girl relented and confessed.
So, two days later, the class opened again.
It was still Liu Qianshi who sat on top, taking the place of magistrate.
And Zhu Di and Zhu Xi also followed to the county government, looking quite concerned about the case.After entering the court, Zhu Xi said sharply: "If an official commits a crime, he must be severely punished! As an official, the parents and officials of the local people, if he can't set an example, how can he convince the public? How can he be worthy of it? The salary given by the emperor!"
Of course, this was intentionally said to the magistrate, no matter how good the magistrate's psychological quality was, he couldn't help shivering.
Who is this speaking?
It's Zhu Xi!
That is the second son of the emperor!Words carry a lot of weight!
Others cannot interrogate officials, but if King Qin said a few words in front of the emperor, would it be difficult to convict him?
Lu Changting heard it from the side, smiled secretly, and went to sit down with Zhu Di first.
Immediately, Zhu Xi lost the interest to continue talking, and hurriedly followed.
"Bring the servant girl up!" Liu Qianshi said loudly.
When Lu Changting looked at Nazhi County again, he was already sweating profusely.
Can Zhixian not sweat profusely?
He already fully understood that King Yan wanted to press him to death on the ground with one finger.
But there was also King Qin standing beside him.
No matter how much the magistrate thought about it, he couldn't understand why he had offended King Qin!
The relationship between King Yan and King Qin has never been rumored to be extremely close!
