ancient criminal minds

When Lu Zheng returned to his room, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

He combed through all the clues again.The one who killed Lu Enguang should be the Sea Dragon King's subordinates, for the chart, and put the blame on Lu Enshan, probably to let the government close the case earlier; then who killed Li Si, is it really the red-clothed thief?Lu Zheng has always been puzzled about this point, and the response he got after posting a notice to provoke the red-clothed thief confirmed this point. This person may have a perverted temper, but he will never kill someone just because of such a trivial matter. The case he reminded The winning case may be Li Si's case.

Then the possibility of the person who killed Li Si expanded. It may be Lu Enguang, or it may be the subordinate of the Sea Dragon King. In order to protect An Zicheng's life, Li Si did not say that he gave the sachet to An Zicheng, but the murderer Why should Li Si's head be cut off?To hide Li Si's identity?

Lu Zheng pressed his forehead in distress, no matter how he thought it was wrong, he felt that he had found a thread, but he didn't expect to pull out a deeper mystery.And now they have seen all the people who are on the bright side, except for the mysterious Mrs. Lu.

There are only two possibilities for the identity of Mrs. Lu, either a member of the Sea Dragon King or a member of the court, but according to Lu Enguang's attitude towards her, the former possibility is much more likely.

Now that he thinks so, it's not easy for Lu Zheng to go to see her directly at this moment, and the more important thing right now is how to transfer An Zicheng to them under their noses, after all, An Zicheng gave them the sachet Yes, if he accidentally slipped his mouth, I'm afraid none of them will survive.

Lu Zheng thought for a long time, finally came up with a solution, he called Bao Zheng in.

Bao Zheng looked solemn: "My lord, please tell me."

Lu Zheng told him his plan, and Bao Zheng was stunned for a long time before stammering: "This...does this work?"

"Whether it's useful or not, go and try it first."

"Yes."

So, in the afternoon, another notice was posted on the front of the county government office. Many people gathered in front to read it. A scholar read it directly: "...Because of the busy work in the county government office, we specially recruit a clerk. Request: scholar Above, age is not limited, height is not limited. A combination of written test and interview is adopted. The top five scores in the written test will enter the interview, and the two final scores will be added. This recruitment examination is absolutely guaranteed to be fair, impartial, and open.”

There was a lot of discussion below.

"Is this the work of the new county lieutenant? What does this mean?"

"Looking nondescript, it's simply degrading."

"In my opinion, if there is no hope of winning the exam, it's okay to take the recruitment exam for Laoshizi. The clerks of this county government are also paid by the public. It's better than the teacher!"

"Aren't the staff who are usually officials appointed by themselves? Isn't it good that Mr. Lu uses such an open method, everyone has a chance."

"That's true. There are not many things in this county government office, and it is safe to live in the county government office, and you can read books with peace of mind."

"Brother Zhu, you have a good literary talent, and you are already very sure about this exam."

"Brother Cheng, laugh at the joke."

Magistrate Ma also got the news from Mr. Fu, and spit out a sip of tea: "What the hell is this Lu Zheng doing?!"

Master Fu was also puzzled: "Accordingly, this document is decided by him. It is not wrong for him to do so. It's just that what this document does is to write the case file. If anyone doesn't find a confidant to take care of it, he will not be afraid to find someone from outside." Infiltrate someone with malicious intentions, if they tamper with this case file, this..."

County Magistrate Ma said angrily: "He is a small county captain, even if he makes a mistake, how big can it be? Who would be so boring to deal with him?"

"That's what the lord said."

Magistrate Ma changed the subject: "However, what you said reminded me. I remember that both the Zhu family and the Li family have produced several scholars. We might as well let them all try."

"My lord means..."

"Isn't he trying to be fair and fair?" Magistrate Ma snorted coldly, "These two are not easy to mess with. If he is not selected by then and something happens, I'll see how he ends up !"

Master Fu was a little confused and said, "My lord, this..."

"Oh! What are you afraid of? If he causes trouble, I will just smooth things over for him. He owes me a favor. In the future, everything will be weighed. There is nothing to worry about, whether it is good or bad!" Ma Yan Baiyue The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this plan was feasible, so I hurriedly urged Master Fu to go.

Master Fu sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that the master's thinking of this matter was too simple. As far as he had dealt with that Lu Zheng a few times, he had an intuition that this person was not easy to mess with. For a sum of money, in fact, it sold all the students in the county. If this exam is not a one-time exam, what will happen in the future?

In the past, only Juren could be used as an instruction to receive the silver rice issued by the county government. Now scholars also have the opportunity, no matter how slim the opportunity is, they will only praise Lu County Captain together, and Lu Zheng, although he paid the price of a document, can Looking at the follow-up, he also gained a lot!

Master Fu overestimated Lu Zheng, he didn't think about it that much at all, and now he has to deal with Bao Zheng walking back and forth in front of him.

"My lord, this method is too risky! Let alone whether An Zicheng will come to take the test, even if he does, he alone writes...how can someone who writes that kind of thing compare to someone who is well-educated."

For the first time in history, You Xiaowu did not confront Bao Zheng, but affirmed his words: "That's right, not everyone is competent for this clerical task. In case An Zicheng is hired, but the file he wrote is shit. If it doesn’t make sense, let’s not talk about this embarrassment, if it gets out, it will be troublesome if it ruins your reputation.”

Lu Zheng, however, is an old god: "I have my own way." After all, he was born in modern times, and he has heard of the name of the civil service exam, and one of Lu Zheng's roommates has a mother who works in the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. , I have heard a lot of twists and turns here, but now it is easy to follow the same pattern.

Bao Zheng said anxiously: "Sir, if you have anything to do, just say it!"

Lu Zheng coughed: "Instead of caring about this, why don't you think about what questions you will ask tomorrow?"

Bao Zheng suddenly went dumb, You Xiaowu just pretended not to hear and wanted to slip away.

"Stop what you're doing and think about it quickly," Lu Zheng urged.

Bao Zheng scratched his head: "My lord, if you tell me to arrest the prisoner, I can do it, but I really can't do this."

"That's right, if you ask Tie Dan about this matter, it's more useful than me!"

Lu Zheng glared at the two of them: "Since this is the case, what are you still doing here, go out quickly, and don't disturb my thinking."

Bao Zheng and You Xiaowu hurried out obediently.

Lu Zheng was very speechless, spread out a piece of paper, dipped a brush in ink and began to write on it.This question had already been planned when he came up with this solution. Although there was no guarantee that An Zicheng would be the first in the written test, it would definitely allow him to enter the interview, so he wouldn't have to worry about it when the interview came.

Early the next morning, there was a long queue at the gate of the county government office. They were all scholars who rushed over as soon as they heard the news, and some even ran over from Lin County overnight. The policeman who was in charge of maintaining order in the examination room looked at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng slapped his head suddenly, and forgot to add the words "only in this county", but now everyone is here, and he didn't say no before, and it wouldn't look good if there was a disturbance.

It was only then that Bao Zheng realized how important it is to have a document. Looking at the scholar who was looking at him eagerly, Bao Zheng's scalp went numb, and he waved directly: "Put it in, put it in."

There were seventy or eighty people who signed up this morning alone. Because the exam time was at noon, the people who signed up were still coming in a steady stream.

Bao Zheng looked anxiously at the back of the crowd, but he didn't see An Zicheng's shadow at all. He couldn't help muttering in his heart: Wouldn't it be better to just invite the person over? It was specially arranged at noon, for fear that An Zicheng would sleep until noon after drinking, but it turned out that the hour was almost here and he hadn't come yet.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and at a quarter before noon, An Zicheng ran over with his clothes open and sweating profusely.

Bao Zheng's heart fell to the ground immediately, and after he came in, he quickly asked the guards on both sides to close the door.

The location of the exam is the place of the county school. Fortunately, there is a distance between the tables, so there is no need to specially arrange the seats.All the scholars sat down one by one, and the police quickly distributed the paper and pens and inks. These are all things in the warehouse of the county government. For this, Lu Zheng went to find the Jin County Prime Minister. Although Jin Hanxuan was a little strange about his behavior, he Without asking any further questions, he asked him to pick up his things and left.

Lu Zheng didn't come forward until all the things were distributed. Although he didn't even have any fame, he already had an official status. Although scholars don't want to bow down, they still have to salute. After both parties salute, the exam will begin. Officially begin.

Lu Zheng glued the test questions written yesterday on a sign erected at the front, and sent another person with a loud voice to read the questions.

When the topic was finished, there was an uproar among the scholars.

There is no other reason, just because this topic has nothing to do with the Four Books and Five Classics, but an extremely strange topic.

The county found out a theft case and caught four suspects. After investigation, the perpetrator must be one of A, B, C, and D.Their statements are as follows: A: "I went back to the country that day and was not there."

B: "Ding is a treasure thief."

C: "B is a treasure thief."

Ding: "B framed me."

Only one of them is telling the truth!May I ask who is the treasure thief?

Immediately, a scholar stood up and asked, "My lord, this question is so weird, is it because your lord is playing tricks on us!"

Lu Zheng said calmly: "I am responsible for the affairs of the county's prison, so I don't need to be eloquent, but a pragmatic and flexible person. This question seems strange, but the investigation is extensive. I don't know I don't feel wrong."

As soon as he said this, the scholars present were speechless. If they had the fame of juren, they might be able to go back. Don't know how to work around?

The scholars were full of resentment, but they had to endure it.

The corners of Lu Zheng's mouth slightly curled up, and he said loudly: "Since that's the case, everyone can answer the questions directly, and there is a stick of incense within a limited time."
