Do not cry at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty

Shen Che was woken up in the middle of the night, because he lived in the backyard of the mansion, and the yamen servants on duty at night came to report the case as soon as they received the case, so when Master Liu hurried back to the mansion overnight, Shen Che was already waiting at the door .

"How many people are there now?" Master Liu asked hastily.

"Fifteen brothers, all who can come have come."

"Then let's go, go to the Lu Mansion!" Master Liu took another look at Shen Che while arranging his clothes, and couldn't help frowning, "You only wear these clothes?"

In the middle of the night in winter, when it was the coldest, there seemed to be only a single piece of clothing inside the official uniform of the Yamen.

"I'm used to it, and I don't feel cold, please get on the sedan chair." Shen Che replied quickly, and got on the horse.

"Catcher Shen, but the salary is not enough?" After getting on the road, Lord Liu opened the curtain beside the sedan chair and asked.

Shen Che replied with a smile: "This subordinate spends a lot of money on weekdays and can't save money."

"You? What kind of expenses can you have?" Master Liu looked at Shen Che in surprise. For a young man who has not yet married, what can he spend his money on?Moreover, this subordinate himself knows that he behaves well on weekdays, never goes to messy places, and has no habit of gambling.

"It can cost you a lot to invite the brothers to drink and eat, and things in the capital are expensive..." Shen Che smiled sheepishly.

Mr. Liu immediately knew the problem - the salary hadn't been increased for several years.But it's not a problem that my subordinates don't have decent clothes in winter.

The Lu Mansion was brightly lit, Master Liu saw it from a distance, and coughed slightly: "Shen Che, when you arrive at the Lu Mansion in a while, remember not to call him Eunuch Lu, but Master Lu."

"The subordinates know!" The answer was simple and clear.

Although someone has had an accident and suddenly "goes west" in the middle of the night, there must be no mistake in the title.Eunuch Lu had a high position and authority during his lifetime. First, he was the elder of the three dynasties. Second, the current emperor can ascend the throne because Eunuch Lu used his strength in front of the late emperor.

However, even though he was a father-in-law, he hated this title the most during his lifetime, so everyone addressed him as "Lord Lu".

Yuci first-class Marquis's mansion covers a large area, and there are naturally many servants. What surprised Shen Che was that despite such a big incident, the Lu manor seemed to be in peace.

The lantern at the entrance has been replaced with plain white. The guards lined up on both sides of the gate. There were ten people standing on each side, all armed with guns. As soon as Mr. Liu's sedan chair landed, someone greeted him: " The villain, Lu Fu, is in charge of trivial matters in the mansion, and has been waiting for Master Liu for a long time!"

Taking charge of trivial matters is a polite sentence, the main purpose is to point out his identity as the housekeeper of the Lu family.

"Quickly lead me in to check!" Mr. Liu hurried away without caring about the politeness.

Shen Che followed closely behind and asked, "Director Lu, does Master Lu have any family members in the mansion?"

Lu Fu said: "My master has always been celibate, how can he have a family? Of course he doesn't have any."

"Then Master Lu passed away suddenly, and Manager Lu will be taking care of the master within this hour?"

Although Lu Fu spoke respectfully and behaved politely, he couldn't see the ability to make such a large mansion stable and orderly in the face of changes. Even all the way inside, he saw that the servants were all dressed in black and were arranging with white cloths in their hands.

"How can a villain have such ability, Mr. Lu will be in charge!" Lu Fu said hurriedly.

Master Liu was also taken aback when he heard this: "It's not that Master Lu has no family members, so who is Mr. Lu?"

Lu Fu slapped his head: "The villain was in a hurry and forgot to say. Mr. Lu is the adopted son of the master, and he also lives in the capital. Something happened to the master, so the villain hurriedly sent someone to invite Mr. Lu over."

After saying that, Lu Fu stopped in his tracks: "The inner room is the master's bedroom, and the master is here...here..."

Master Liu waved his hand and went straight in, a pungent smell of blood came over his face, Master Liu couldn't help frowning.

"Is this Master Liu from the government office?"

The person who spoke was tall and tall, with delicate features, and a gentle and polite manner.

"Your Excellency is..." Master Liu asked knowingly.

"Below, Lu Wenqi, in the middle of the night, suddenly learned that her adoptive father had been killed, so she rushed over."

"Oh, since Mr. Lu arrived at the scene immediately, did you find anything?" Master Liu looked inside as he spoke, and saw a large pool of blood underground.

"It won't be too late to talk about it in detail after Mr. Liu has seen the scene." Lu Wenqi also spoke in an orderly manner, which probably had something to do with her ability to act.

An autopsy was carried out immediately on the master who brought him. The cause of Master Lu's death was very simple. He was wounded on the neck by a sharp weapon, and he bled to death in a short while.

"Since Mr. Lu was assassinated suddenly in the middle of the night, why didn't Mr. Lu put more people here to guard?" Shen Che asked.

There were many people arranged at the entrance of the mansion, but it was strange that Lu Wenqi was the only bedroom in the first scene.

"There are too many people, and if the structure of this place is destroyed, wouldn't Master Liu come and blame him?" Lu Wenqi said humbly.

Mr. Liu was about to nod, when Lu Fu suddenly said: "My lord doesn't know something, Mr. Lu's skills alone can match ten soldiers in the mansion, so Mr. Lu is here, he couldn't be more considerate."

"Boss Lu's words are to make the two adults in the government office laugh!" Lu Wenqi hurriedly winked at Lu Fu.

Shen Che's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look carefully at Lu Wenqi. She had probably changed into white clothes to mourn her adoptive father. She had a peaceful expression, and she couldn't see much sadness. It was just that her eyebrows and eyes were too handsome, so when she blinked and turned her eyes inadvertently, there was a sense of Special verve.

Lu Wenqi avoided Shen Che's gaze, and said, "Master Liu just asked if I found something, but I did find something."

The thing was placed on the table, it was a piece of paper soaked in blood, and there were a few faintly visible words on it.

This is a road to the gate of the capital.

"It was folded originally, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to unfold the blood stains, so I unfolded it first." Lu Wenqi explained.

"The west city gate opened yesterday afternoon." Shen Che looked at it and said.

Mr. Liu also carefully identified it, but he could only identify the only content.

After returning to the yamen, the first thing Mr. Liu did was not to sit down and analyze the case, but to take out a key and enter the warehouse.

"My lord, what are you doing here?" Several yamen servants looked at each other.

"It's called a warehouse, but it's actually a grocery warehouse. It's a mess inside. Your lord won't think of tidying it up at this time, will you?" someone said.

"It's not okay to pack things up and let someone else go, you have to do it yourself..."

"Hey, you don't understand this! It's full of stolen goods over the years, unclaimed lost property, and a lot of valuable things. Not just anyone can get in!"

Mr. Liu really came out with something "valuable". He said it was valuable, but in fact it was just a jacket with a decent quality.

"Shen Che, take this and wear it!" Master Liu handed over the clothes involuntarily.

"My lord, this, how can this be?" Shen Che asked anxiously.

"You can wear whatever you want, it's fine!" Master Liu waved his hand.

"This, my lord, in case someone comes to claim it..."

"I checked and found that these clothes have been stored for more than five years. How could someone come to claim them? If they are stored again, they will rot. It is not a waste to wear them for you." Master Liu said calmly.

Fortunately, the clothes were not very expensive, and the color was not ostentatious. Shen Che felt that the weather was not so cold when he put it on.

"Someone has just arrived from the imperial palace, bringing the emperor's letter to investigate the case as soon as possible and bring the murderer to justice." Master Liu said.

"This is a major case, and the imperial court must attach great importance to it." Master Cai, who was sitting by the side, stroked his sparse beard and said.

Master Cai's residence is far away from the government office, and he came here in the middle of the night when he received the news. When he arrived at the government office, Master Liu and Shen Che had already returned.

"My lord, did you ever hear that Lord Lu was at odds with anyone in court?" Shen Che asked.

Most of the murders that happen in deep houses are premeditated, especially in a heavily guarded place like the Lu Mansion, it will never be a thief who is discovered to burglary and kills impromptu, let alone any thief who dares to steal into the mansion of a first-rank official, Mr. Lu superior?

"Why, Captain Shen doesn't think that road is important?" Master Liu was a little surprised.

"The road sign may be an important evidence that the murderer lost at the scene, of course it is important," Shen Che paused, "but it is only a clue to find the murderer, not a motive."

Master Liu nodded: "Although the words are good, there are not many people who disagree with Lord Lu... I'm afraid there are not a few of them."

"Oh?" Shen Che was taken aback.

Eunuch Lu’s reputation is not very good. Most people in the capital know a thing or two about it. Since many years ago when they privately occupied land in their hometown to build their ancestral tomb, there have been bad rumors over the years. There are even rumors of selling officials to sell nobles.I don’t know if he has been ginseng, but his status in front of the emperor has never been shaken. The only two gold medals in the imperial court are "as if you are in person", and one is hung on the waist of Eunuch Lu. It can be seen that the emperor has assisted him in this Ministers who ascended to the highest positions had much gratitude.

"Catcher Shen usually only focuses on solving cases and arresting people, and doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. Let's put it this way, Lord Lu excludes dissidents from the court, and many ministers are dissatisfied with this, such as King Duan, King Beijing, Lord Shang Shufang, and the Supreme Court. Mr. Chen of Changsi Temple..." Master Cai was eloquent, like a treasure.

Shen Che suddenly felt that finding the murderer from the motive was like looking for a needle in a haystack. No wonder Mr. Liu wanted to start with the road.

"Mr. Lu picked up the road. At that time, he was the only one guarding the bedroom. Could there be some deceit?" Shen Che pondered.

Mr. Cai had already looked at the roads several times in detail, and said: "The things are not fake, and they have been closed in recent years, and fewer and fewer people come to Beijing. Maybe you can just ask at the gate of the city. . . But speaking of that Mr. Lu, what exactly does he look like?"

"I think he is about the same age as Shen Tutou, with a good appearance. Why did Master Cai suddenly ask this?" Master Liu asked curiously.

Master Cai lowered his voice and said, "There have always been rumors in the capital that Eunuch Lu's son is not simple. He bought it from a young age and cleaned himself up. It is a means for Eunuch Lu to curry favor with the emperor..."

Master Liu hurriedly glanced at the door, and Shen Che had already closed the door after a few steps.

"You can't talk nonsense about this, Master Cai!" Master Liu frowned.

"I was dubious too, so I asked you." Master Cai said in a low voice.
