How to work

Shen Wansha pointed out the direction, who to contact after successfully withdrawing the bank note.He got the news from the jailer: Sun Zhengyang, the promotion official of Chengdu Mansion, would drink tea and listen to books at Qinqing Teahouse every morning.

Withdrawing the money went smoothly, as soon as Lu Li showed Shen Wansha's golden bead, the bank manager's attitude immediately became extremely respectful, he served him tea and asked him to sit down for a while, and took the silver ticket to him after a while.Lu Li felt that this was a good omen and was in a very good mood, so he immediately took Zhao Zhu to the teahouse that Shen Wansha mentioned.

He had already inquired about the direction, and quickly found the teahouse with Zhao Zhu, and with a little silver, he found out from the waiter that Sun Zhengyang used to sit in the middle of the second floor next to the railing, and that he was there now.

He quietly winked at Zhao Zhu happily, and walked up the stairs.

Zhao Zhu was not as optimistic as he was, and his eyes were deeper in thought.

Sun Zhengyang is easy to recognize, just as Shen Wansha said, he has a square face, which is very dark, and it is rare to see such a complexion in Sichuan.Lu Li looked around in the direction, and his eyes fell on the middle-aged man wearing Chu Qing's long gown by the railing.

His eyes lit up, he stood on the spot, adjusted his mentality and expression, and then approached the person with steady steps, "May I ask if your Excellency is the official Sun Zhengyang, Mr. Sun?"

Sun Zhengyang was holding a teacup, closing his eyes and shaking his head, recalling the song sung by Qingyue just now, when he suddenly heard Qingyue's questioning voice, he opened his eyes, and the young man in front of him was so handsome!

The young man has white eyebrows, delicate chin, and a pair of good eyes, which are clear and clear, like a lake in the spring sun.

Sun Zhengyang put down the teacup slowly.

With those eyes alone, he could give the boy a chance.

Those who walked up to him and spoke usually had a very simple reason...

"It's right here, I don't know if the little brother is..."

Lu Li cupped his hands in a salute, "I'm next to Lu Li, I'm here for a friend, if it disturbs your interest, I hope you will have a lot, please bear with me."

"It's easy to say." Sun Zhengyang didn't take his eyes off Lu Li for a moment, and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit."

Zhao Zhu suddenly took a step forward and quickly sat on the spot he pointed to.

Sun Zhengyang was stunned, who is this person?

This man with ape arms and wasp waist, with fierce eyes, is obviously a practitioner.Look at this domineering aura, he should be a practitioner with pretty good martial arts. Sitting like this with Dama Jindao is quite scary.

"this……"

Lu Li quietly kicked Zhao Zhu to signal him to calm down, don't be so fierce, and said with a smile, "It's my friend, surnamed Zhao and named Zhu. People in Jianghu are impatient with etiquette, and adults laugh."

It turned out to be a quack.Sun Zhengyang suppressed the fear that arose in his heart just now, and smiled at Lu Li, who was looking for a place to sit down, "Young Master Lu is so good-looking."

The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips were tightly pursed, and a cold light shone from his eyes.

Sun Zhengyang didn't pay attention, but Lu Li saw it.Inwardly slandering Zhao Zhu for eating something unclean today and throwing a temper tantrum, the hand under the table quietly reached out to hold Zhao Zhu's and squeeze it hard—to remind him not to do anything bad!

Originally, Lu Li wanted to exchange pleasantries with Sun Zhengyang to see if they could get a good relationship before they got down to business, but Zhao Zhu was in the wrong mood, so he had no choice but to hurry up and get straight to the point, "Thank you for your compliment. My lord is also handsome, with outstanding character, which is admirable. I have disturbed your lord too much time, please forgive me for being presumptuous, and I have something to say."

"Sir, please speak."

Lu Li shook Zhao Zhu's hand and left, just as Sun Zhengyang was being praised in the conversation, Zhao Zhu's momentum rose again, even a man without martial arts could feel the murderous aura, so he quickly continued to shake Zhao Zhu's hand back.

Zhao Zhu has a bad temper, but he won't intentionally ruin his affairs...

Sure enough, as soon as he held his hand, the murderous aura surrounding this man became less.

Lu Li breathed out, didn't let go, just held Zhao Zhu like this, and looked at Sun Zhengyang, "I have a good friend named Shen Wansha, who arrived in Chengdu Mansion six days ago, and because of a misunderstanding, he was arrested and imprisoned by the inspector... ... I wonder if adults know about this?"

Speaking of business, Sun Zhengyang's eyes suddenly brightened, with an unclear light shining, "You may say that others may not be clear to me, but I remember this Mr. Shen, and his clothes embroidered with gold thread are also unusual. .”

"Since my lord knows..." Lu Li thought about his words.Judging from last night, people in the officialdom here are very straightforward in asking for money. They simply said, "My friend is really innocent. I would like to offer 1 taels of hard work. Please the government first investigate the case and release him."

Seeing Sun Zhengyang's upright posture and unclear demeanor, Lu Li added another sentence, "If the government needs to take care of it, I am willing to take care of it."

"1 taels..." Sun Zhengyang's eyes drooped slightly, and he said two words after a while, "No."

Lu Li was stunned, "No... OK?" Shen Wansha said that he had negotiated a good price with the pusher, why can't it work!

The corners of Sun Zhengyang's lips curled up, and he tapped his fingertips on the table, "You can find me... have you visited your friend."

"To be honest, I went to see him as soon as I arrived last night." In other people's territory, if people want to know anything, they only need to ask, there is nothing to lie about.

"It cost a lot."

"It's a bit..."

"So, 1 taels was the price four days ago, and it's more than that now."

Lu Li frowned, "Then now?"

Sun Zhengyang stretched out a hand and shook it, "5 taels."

Lu Li took a deep breath, and the daily increase was 1 taels, how dare he speak!

What is the concept of 5 taels when ordinary people can live a year with ten taels of silver?Can buy a small half of the city!A push official dares to ask for 5 taels of silver... This officialdom is no longer corrupt, no one will look down on it!

His face changed slightly and he didn't speak. Sun Zhengyang smiled, "Young Master Lu can go back and think about it, but if you come back tomorrow, it won't be the same price."

This means it will go up!

Lu Li was suddenly furious, "As a pusher, you are in charge of all the prisons, how dare you do that!"

Sun Zhengyang laughed out loud and almost choked, as if what he said was too naive and stupid, "You are still young after all."

Lu Li was even more angry, his eyes seemed to be on fire, "Is the matter of punishment and prison like a child's play in the eyes of adults!"

"Where is there? The matter of punishment and prison is naturally serious. How can it be a child's play?" It's not easy to be an official, a young man like you won't understand."

Lu Li closed his eyes, suppressing a little anger.If the atmosphere in an officialdom is not good, it is indeed difficult to be an upright official. Sun Zhengyang is not a person on the top of the pyramid in Chengdu Mansion.

But Sun Zhengyang is innocent, is there a last resort?

Before knowing the truth, Lu Li did not dare to make judgments at will.

"5 taels is really unexpected," he fixedly looked at Sun Zhengyang, "may I ask why?"

"Smart." Sun Zhengyang glanced at Lu Li approvingly, "You are obviously angry, but you can control yourself and think that things happen for a reason, which is really rare at your age. I'll just send you a message for free. Shen Wansha's crime is not simple. "

"Not simple?" Lu Li was a little puzzled, "Isn't it just that he was seen to stop the bleeding of a dying woman and mistaken for the murderer?"

Sun Zhengyang shook his head and lowered his voice a little, "In the past two years, women from brothels have been killed every month in this residence, and nearly 30 people have died so far."

Lu Li understood, and narrowed his eyes, "You guys are treating Shen Wansha as a serial murderer!"

"The time and place where he appeared are too coincidental."

"It's ridiculous!" Lu Li looked at Sun Zhengyang with burning eyes, "Shen Wansha first entered Sichuan, and he has been with me for the past month. How could he commit a murder in Chengdu Mansion! I can prove it!"

"Coincidentally, there have been brothel women dying in Chengdu Mansion for the past two years, but they didn't last month." Sun Zhengyang smiled coldly, "Young Master, it's meaningless to witness it."

Lu Li stared at Sun Zhengyang, his eyes almost burst into flames.

Even though he couldn't be Shen Wansha's alibi, he believed that Shen Wansha couldn't be the murderer!No murder case can be judged by subjective conjecture, it must be proved by the evidence, no matter how close people are, they should not be trusted. Lu Li has always followed this policy, but Shen Wansha is different!

Although we haven't known each other for a long time, a person's character and behavior cannot be adulterated, especially for an uncomplicated person like Shen Wansha, he believes in Shen Wansha.

But others don't believe it.

Also deliberately framed!

The anger in Lu Li's heart could hardly be suppressed.

Suddenly his palms itch slightly, it was Zhao Zhu who was gently scratching him.

Lu Li turned his head to the side and smiled at him, indicating that he was fine.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhu suddenly said, "You should also want to solve the case. The promotion of officials depends on their performance."

This Sun Zhengyang has no objection. It is very important to be an official and manage contacts, but the most important thing is political performance. If the political performance is good, you can be promoted if you have a good network.

Of course, political achievements can also be modified, but there must be a good foundation in order to have good results.If one's own ability is super strong and the political performance is good, and there are contacts who will come to trouble, then it is the seedling of the second and third ranks of the dynasty.

"Why don't we negotiate a deal," Sun Zhengyang pretended to be silent, and Zhao Zhu didn't mind, his voice became more serious, "1 taels is the deposit, you let Shen Wansha go, and for this murder case, Lu Li will help you. Detect it. The time limit is half a month, if you find the murderer, you will return the deposit, if you can't find it, we will pay another 10 taels."

Ten, ten thousand, two?Zhao Zhu, what nonsense are you talking about!

Lu Li quickly pulled Zhao Zhu's hand, don't go crazy!

Zhao Zhu didn't seem to notice it at all, and scratched Lu Li's palm again to show him to be good, and asked Sun Zhengyang in a cold voice, "How is it?"
