79. Caught
"How is this good?" Red Lotus said worriedly.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth," Jin Lian gave her a reassuring look, "This matter has nothing to do with us at all, so don't be afraid, even if the emperor personally intervenes in this matter, I believe that in the absence of evidence, he will not be embarrassed by us." ”
Wu Song's eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning, I didn't expect this woman to have such a concise opinion, to be honest, this matter is nothing more than a bureau set up against Taishi Cai and Prince Lu, and his brother's family is just affected by himself, whether that party wants to kill two birds with one stone or three birds with one stone, it is indeed difficult to implement without conclusive evidence.
And what they should do now is to respond to all changes with the same, Wu Song thought like this, and his face was much more relaxed, since the eldest brother didn't want to leave, then stay in the capital, and when the matter was resolved smoothly, he personally escorted them back to Yanggu County.
The family sat together and discussed for a long time, and decided to bury Zhang Han first.
After all, he is also a loyal man, and it is pitiful that he was framed and lost his life, Jin Lian and Red Lotus nodded in agreement.
An hour later, Wu Song brought back a coffin and funeral supplies from outside, and Haosheng buried Zhang Han.
He was accompanied by two tall and mighty guards, who should be Lu Wangye's subordinates.
The corpse could not be transported out of this place in a bright light, so it had to be put aside in the firewood room for the time being, but Prince Lu had already sent a few people over, one was to determine the identity of the corpse, and the other was to protect this place from others from breaking in.
Jin Lian felt very inconvenient when she saw that there were so many more people in the courtyard at once, but she also knew that she could only do this at this time.
Wu Song goes out early and returns late every day, and he can't see a shadow. However, he had already instructed the people below to bring the news to Jin Lian, and Jin Lian was surprised by his carefulness and trust, and quickly adapted to such a relationship.
Three days have passed, Jin Lian and Red Lotus have never stepped out of the courtyard for half a step, and the daily food is brought back by Wu Songtuo.
The loss of the Birth Gang has already caused an uproar in the capital, and the impact is deeper and wider than the Danxia Mountain incident.
Every day in the court, the emperor had to ask if the birth gang had been found, and ordered the mighty marquis and others to quickly arrest the relevant people.
In this dynasty, the mighty Marquis Liu Fang was intercepted by Liang Zhongshu, and Liu Fang looked down on Liang Zhongshu for climbing to such a position by nepotism, but seeing Cai Taishi passing by his side expressionlessly, he couldn't save Liang Zhongshu's face, so he had to follow him to a secluded place.
"General Liu, you have worked really hard for Lord Taishan's birthday these days," Liang Zhongshu said with a flattering smile, "Actually, we are very sympathetic to your lordship, and we specially sent a lot of subordinates to inquire about the news. ”
Liu Fang sneered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, but he said in an indifferent tone, "I have verified the information you provided to me, and there is no trace of that person nearby, and besides, Lord Lu has already disliked me, so Lord Liang should not use me as a gunman in the future." ”
Looking at Liu Fang's back as he left angrily, Liang Zhongshu took a sip on the ground, "What's the matter, with his brother's military exploits to climb to this point, he really thinks of himself as a general." ”
No matter what he thought, Liu Fang couldn't take care of it, he thought it was just a simple errand, but he didn't expect that it had developed so far, there were no clues at all, and he offended Lu Wangye and Liang Zhongshu, he sighed to himself, but he could only tell his subordinates to step up their efforts to find the news of the birth gang.
"Brother, I want to go out tomorrow, it is estimated that it will take three or five days to come back, you have to close the door in the next few days, I have sent people to guard around the courtyard, you can rest assured. Wu Song returned to the small courtyard on the evening of this day, but his expression was in a hurry, and he left here after a few words.
Jin Lian was about to ask him how things were going, but he didn't expect him to leave so quickly, and when she looked back and saw Wu Da and Honglian's worried looks, she endured it for a while before she smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, Second Brother Wu has only been out for a few days, and he will be back soon, looking at his expression just now, it doesn't look like it's serious." ”
The two glanced at each other, and they both let go of the solemnity in their hearts, and Jin Lian's indifference and calmness undoubtedly reassured them.
It's just a pity that things didn't go in the direction they expected.
At midnight on the second day, Jin Lian, Red Lotus, and Wu Da were taken away by a group of fierce soldiers.
On 30 October, the case of the loss of Shengchengang took a major turn for the better, and Zhang Han's body was found in the courtyard of Huajiao Hutong in the capital, and there were accomplices, a man and two women, who have now been arrested and brought to justice.
Looking at the notices posted on the street, people were discussing, was the culprit of this robbery of the Birthday Gang caught?
In the court, Taishi Cai was as calm as before, and his son-in-law Liang Zhongshu told the emperor that the criminals had been arrested and brought to justice, and in this case, they should be severely punished to set an example.
However, a few courtiers retorted, saying that the matter had not yet been clarified, and it was really inappropriate to deal with the culprits rashly.
Liang Zhongshu carried forward his rogue temperament and stunned the courtiers into speechlessness.
Gao Taiwei, like Liang Zhongshu, was silent, but his expression was full of mockery.
Liu Fang looked at Liang Zhongshu's jumping up and down inexplicably, and secretly slandered in his heart, villain.
He didn't send someone to arrest the culprit this time, but he didn't expect Liang Zhongshu to hook up with someone from the Ministry of War, and he really did everything.
Thinking that the culprit this time was actually the person he almost caught last time, he was a little angry, his subordinates had already found out that the people in that small courtyard were actually related to Lu Wangye, although he didn't catch them with his own hands this time, but who knows if Lu Wangye would think that he and Liang Zhongshu had discussed it.
Huizong squinted his eyes and looked at the courtiers who were arguing below, Bai Wuqing yawned, he turned his head and glanced at the eunuch beside him, this eunuch chief naturally knew what His Majesty the Emperor meant.
"Something is playing, and there is no capital to retreat. A sharp voice remembered, and immediately suppressed the quarrel of the courtiers below, they looked up and only glanced at Song Huizong's obviously impatient expression, which silenced them all.
"Okay, Liang Aiqing, I know that you have had a hard day, since the culprit has been arrested and brought to justice, it will be handed over to the Criminal Department for trial, and you don't have to participate. The Emperor spoke.
Liang Zhongshu lowered his head, "Yes, Your Majesty." He glanced at Taishi Cai with an uneasy expression, and thought to himself, how can this be good, he finally found a scapegoat and handed it over to the criminal department for trial, but he didn't dare to guarantee the result.
