Chapter 73

The iron prison in the garrison department was not seeing the sun, and in such an environment, there was no sense of time, so Lu Tang could only feel that it was a very long time in it.After an unknown amount of time, the iron prison door was suddenly opened, and two people walked in.

"You are Lu Tangyi?"

"who are you?"

"We are the servants of the state capital, and we are here to interrogate you."

Lu Tang was taken aback for a moment, she remembered that it hadn't been long since she had been looking for Huang Biao, so the speed of doing this was too fast.When she was mentioned in the lobby of Zhizhou Yamen, I realized that I was thinking too much. Huang Biao didn't have time to go to Huanxi Town to deliver a letter to Hong Xi'er, but she was taken to court because the bitter master who sued him this morning passed away.His death was a matter of life, which naturally alarmed the city government of the state. Mr. Zhizhou Zeng is an old man over [-] years old, and he will retire and return to his hometown after the end of this year. .It is not uncommon to say that there are one or two murder cases in a big city like Anzhou, but the trouble is that this case was reported by Zhou Wuwei's eldest son, Zhou Jinglai, who also said that the victim was a relative of his family. He didn't care about it.

"Who is in the hall?"

"I'm Lu Tangyi, manager of Huanxi Inn."

Zeng Zhizhou stroked his gray beard, looked at the man dressed as a scholar, and asked, "Are you famous?"

"No, I'm in vain."

"White body." Master Zeng shook his head, and suddenly slapped the gavel: "Why doesn't a grassroots man kneel when he sees me!" After he finished speaking, Lu Tangyi did not see any movement, but he still looked indifferent.Thinking about it, she and Yuan Yi have knelt down to burn paper for their deceased family members after being here for so long, but they have never knelt down to any living person.

Zeng Zhizhou felt displeased at the moment. Seeing this situation, the two classes of yamen servants immediately stepped forward and kicked her calf. Lu Tang was unaware of the pain in her leg, and then knelt down.

Seeing this, Zeng Zhizhou snorted coldly, and then continued: "You said that you are in charge, are you in charge of all the inn affairs? Are you the innkeeper?"

Letting out a breath, Lu Tang suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said respectfully as much as possible: "The shopkeeper is my wife, and the inn is my Yue's inn, but my wife doesn't care much about the inn now."

"So now you are in charge of all the affairs of Huanxi Inn?"

"Yes."

Zeng Zhizhou nodded, and slapped the gavel again: "Bold! Your inn is unscrupulous and uses rotten ingredients to kill people. Are you guilty?"

When Lu Tang heard the words, she was terrified, "Death?" She didn't expect Fang Sibin to be so ruthless, to take a life in vain in order to deal with them!

"My lord, our inn uses the freshest ingredients, and we don't keep overnight ingredients. How can people die because of food spoilage?"

Zeng Zhizhou glanced at her, and then said to the yamen servant standing next to him, "Since she won't recruit, bring the witnesses and the sufferer."

"Yes." The official led the order to go down, and after a while, a person came in, followed by two handymen carrying a stretcher.

Lu Tang looked back and was taken aback when he saw the man: "Aren't you Master Xue's apprentice?"

The person who came was Ma Guan, Carpenter Xue's great apprentice, and Ma Guan immediately knelt down in front of the hall and cried, "My lord, my lord, you have to make decisions for the grassroots! Pity my master just left without knowing why." , you have to be the master for us!"

Ma Guanhao's voice was hoarse, but Lu Tangyi suddenly got up and lifted the white cloth from the stretcher, and saw that the person lying on it was indeed Carpenter Xue, who seemed to have died not long ago.

"This! How could this happen?" She thought back, Carpenter Xue came to the store to eat wine a few days ago, but what he ordered were some ordinary dishes, no matter how much he ate, he would not die.

"What are you doing!" Ma Guan rushed forward and pushed her away, and then cried to Zhizhou: "My lord, my lord, we master and apprentice knew that they had a bad heart when we were working in the Huanxi Inn, especially this accountant Lu, who carried the shopkeeper behind his back." No less bad things! We were given rotten food, but at that time we just wanted to finish what we were doing and leave early to avoid this trouble. Who would have thought that one day my master’s life would be killed? !"

Zeng Zhizhou patted the gavel after listening, pointed at Lu Tangyi: "What else do you have to say?"

At first, Lu Tangyi only thought that Fang Sibin had hired someone to eat his stomach badly, just to beat her up to vent her anger, but the carpenter Xue and his apprentice who came suddenly had a life lawsuit, and she panicked for a while, seeing Mr. Zeng Pointing to his unkind look, he quickly calmed down.She couldn't think of anything else when the incident happened suddenly, so she could only pick up the loopholes in Ma Guan's words and answer: "Impossible, when you were working in my inn, I always treated each other with courtesy, and the meals I cooked for you were all the same. It's the same as what we eat, you've praised it yourself, you and your junior brother are not made in pots and bowls? And the ingredients in our family are always fresh and good. So many people in Huanxi Town I can testify that if it is as unbearable as you said, why do you still come to my shop to eat?" As soon as Lu Tang said, he took a step forward and bowed to Zeng Zhizhou: "My lord, when Carpenter Xue and his apprentice came to work in my inn, Yongning Miss Ruan, the daughter of Lord Ruan, the county magistrate, happens to be recuperating in my store, and she can also testify to the quality of the ingredients in our store."

She remembered Zeng Zhizhou when she mentioned this. She received a letter from County Magistrate Ruan asking about the case this morning, and she thought it was because he was worried about the arrest.

"My lord, I hope to invite you to inspect the real cause of Carpenter Xue's death."

"That's right."

Not long after, Wu Zuo came from the outside, he first glanced at Ma Guan who was kneeling on the ground, and then saluted Zeng Zhizhou.

"Go and check, why did Carpenter Xue die?"

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Zuo walked up to Carpenter Xue's corpse, looked up the head from side to side, massaged and pinched it, then got up and said, "My lord, the deceased should have died from food restraint, or the food that he ate was restrained or spoiled and poisoned. "

When Lu Tang saw that he only observed him for a while and didn't even use silver needles, he came to a conclusion, and when he heard what he said, he immediately became suspicious: "You can come to this conclusion without disemboweling the body, or even using silver needles for poisoning. ?”

The clerk froze when he heard the words, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, disemboweling the body for an autopsy is too bloody. I'm going to come down to do the autopsy. As for the silver needles, I don't need them. The food he eats is likely to be poisonous due to spoilage. Do you need to use it?" The silver needles are all the same."

After listening to Zeng Zhizhou, he also felt that it was reasonable, and after waving his hands to make people retreat, he said to Lu Tang: "What else do you have to say?"

Lu Tang looked at the dead carpenter Xue, then at Ma Guan, then at Wuzuo, until she turned around to look outside the hall, and she saw Fang Sibin in the crowd laughing triumphantly, how could she not know why now? , it seems that they have colluded with each other early in the morning.

Looking at the corpse of Carpenter Xue on the ground, Lu Tang was furious in his heart, a living human life, was he killed innocently because of his own personal hatred?

"My lord! My Huanxi Inn absolutely didn't shoddy it as good, let alone cooked with rotten food, and please investigate it thoroughly! But not long ago, Fang Sibin from Anzhou Chengfang came to my inn because of personal grievances. Threatening to end our misfortune, many people in Huanxi Town have witnessed this with their own eyes and can testify that today’s murder case must have something to do with him, please be careful!”

Lu Tang said loudly, standing upright in the courtroom, it really doesn't look like a liar.Hearing this, Fang Sibin immediately jumped out from the crowd: "You are talking nonsense! It is obvious that your inn murdered people with black hearts, so don't try to talk about innocent people!"

Zeng Zhizhou saw that he came out on his own initiative and didn't need to spread it anymore, so he was ready to hear how they confronted each other.

"If it has nothing to do with you, then why is it not the Yongning County Government who came to arrest me? Why did you lock me in the cell of the Garrison Bureau after I was arrested? It wasn't planned by you in advance!"

"That's because Ma Guan knows that you have a good relationship with the county government, and he is afraid that he will have nowhere to sue for his grievances!" Fang Sibin said and bowed to Zeng Zhizhou: "My lord, my Fang family has been doing business in Anzhou for generations. It is the grain business that upholds the conscience of heaven and earth. Sir, have you ever heard of such a thing happening in my family's grain shop? Besides, Carpenter Xue is a distant relative of my father-in-law's family. He is an honest craftsman, so he was so happy by this black heart The inn has been ruined, please ask the adults to make decisions for him!"

"My lord! Please be the master of my master!" Ma Guan cried and worshiped beside him. Zeng Zhizhou felt a little headache. Although he didn't look down on Zhou Wuwei, he was also a Zhoucheng lieutenant after all, so he couldn't be bothered to quarrel with him. .

"Lu Tangyi, are you recruiting or not?"

"My lord, we haven't earned a penny of black-hearted money, and we won't kill our lives in vain! Please also pay us justice!"

Zeng Zhizhou was old enough to hear them quarreling here for a long time, and he was already upset. Seeing that Lu Tang slapped him on the gavel if he didn't move, he wanted to beat him with a stick until she did, but then he thought of the letter from the magistrate Ruan and hesitated. After a while, I finally changed my mind: "Wu Zuo, you go down and have a good look at why this person died. Let's leave the hall for now."

"grown ups!"

Zeng Zhizhou pressed his temples and walked towards the back hall, when an officer came up to grab Lu Tangyi, Fang Sibin put on a smirk again, walked over and said in a low voice: "I heard that you and Hong Xi'er are engaged? So a woman should be cautious when she gets married, and if her fiancé-in-law dies as soon as she gets engaged, do you think she has really become a bastard?"

"Fang Sibin!"

"Hahahaha!" There were only a few people left in the courtroom, and Fang Sibin laughed wildly: "Don't worry, my young master has nothing else but fate. Your Hong Xier, young master, I will take good care of you." He deliberately emphasized the word "care", and he saw Lu Tang rushing towards him with red eyes: "You dare to touch her! I will kill you!"

The guard quickly held her down, but Lu Tang couldn't resist and was pushed to the ground.

"It's just you? You're a powerless lowlife who relies on women to live. What can you do to me standing here? Don't you want to be pinned to the ground like a dog?" Fang Sibin chuckled twice. , slapped Lu Tangyi's face with the folding fan in his hand.

As soon as Lu Tang didn't say a word, he just stared at him fiercely. Unfortunately, his eyes couldn't kill anyone, and she could only be pinned to the ground and unable to resist.Fang Sibin finally got up and left with a mocking smile, and Lu Tangyi was escorted back to the cell.

"Brother, are you alright?"

As soon as the prison chief left, the man next door hurriedly asked.

As soon as Lu Tang didn't answer him, he sat alone on the cold and hard stone floor, and the wound on his body felt dull pain from time to time.Just when she entered the prison just now, two guards suddenly walked by the door and punched and kicked her. I don't need to think about it, I know it must be arranged by Fang Sibin. The son-in-law of the military lieutenant may not need to spend money to manage it, as long as he moves his mouth, it will be natural. Someone does it for him.

Lu Tangyi was born in an era where civilization and human rights were valued. Although he was bullied since he was a child, he had never encountered such unfair frame-ups. Misfortunes came from nowhere. Just relying on a state official and some money can kill people and frame innocent people like this. How many people in all living beings will experience the same or even more miserable experience as her, and how many misfortunes will this world of officials and rich people create?

The author has something to say: These chapters mainly focus on the plot, and there will be several chapters of emotional drama after that. Your favorite Miss Yuan Yi is coming back soon, although the way of coming back is a bit special~
