In the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to be surrounded by the Qing army in Julu Jiazhuang. Posthumously presented to the crown prince and the prince.

Some people also say that if Emperor Chongzhen had made good use of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, he would not have lost the country, but all this will not be known until later.

An oil lamp was lit from the room, and the guests who stayed in threes and threes walked out of the room one after another, looking at Lu Xiangsheng in confusion and asking, "What happened?" ”

"Who is this man with a knife?"

"So many men in black? Could it be that the robbers who robbed the house couldn't do it? ”

Long Tianyang shouted: "The wind is tight, pull it!" ”

Hundreds of black-clothed people moved neatly, without a trace of chaos, and retreated to the window and broke out of the window.

"Murdered ....."

A scream came from the second floor of the inn, and after a short time, I saw a shopkeeper hurriedly run out and said, "Oh no...... Xiao Jia...... All thirteen members of the Xiao family were killed, and none of them survived...... Catch them ......"

Looking at the people who had already broken out of the window, Lu Xianggao raised the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Slow! ”

Some nosy people were ready to chase Long Tianyang and the others, but after hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, they all stopped and surrendered their eyes to Lu Xiangsheng.

"Good man! Why are you holding us back? Could it be that you are in the same league as the Men in Black? ”

"It's just ......"

......

Lu Xiangsheng was not happy or angry, raised his hand and pointed out the window and said: "These people move neatly, advance and retreat in an orderly manner!" Although it is a slogan, everyone is well-trained! If you chase after it now, it will be tantamount to death! What's more, if such a big case happens, the Yamen of the Criminal Department will never sit idly by, and we should go to the Yamen to report the case as soon as possible! ”

At this time, a man dressed as a scholar pointed at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Hey! Man, who are you! How do you know so much about them? Are you really one of them? ”

Lu Xiangsheng still didn't change his face after hearing this, and said: "This official is Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, and this time he is entering Beijing by order, and the official seal and holy decree are in the official's room......

After Lu Xiangsheng reported his official position, the people present saluted one after another: "It turned out to be the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the grass people are clumsy......

Raising his hand and pressing, Lu Xiangsheng said to everyone: "Don't panic, you go to the yamen with this official to be a witness, and hand over this matter to the yamen to deal with!" ”

"Good! Since the prefect is going to the yamen. Then let's go out, go, and go to the yamen to testify together......"

In the dark streets, the murders in the inn have caused a lot of noise on the streets.

The Yamen of the Criminal Department

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The silence of the night sky was shattered by the sound of drums and drums.

Lu Xiangsheng led everyone to finish beating the big drum at the yamen, and in a short time, a fat man who seemed to be gorgeously dressed also came to the yamen to beat the drum and voice grievances.

After the drum sounded, there was another tall thin old man beating the drum and crying out for grievances.

"Squeak Squeak......"

About a quarter of an hour passed, and after the sound of the three rings and drums, the door of the yamen of the criminal department slowly opened, and a team of people hurriedly ran out of the yamen, looking like about 20 people.

More than 20 catchers lined up out of the yamen, and among them was a middle-aged man dressed as a head catcher, standing at the door and asking loudly: "What do you want to do in the middle of the night?" ”

Dozens of people stood at the foot of the steps of the yamen, and when Guan said, the slogan was shouted loudly. But when they really arrived at the yamen of the Criminal Department, looking at the fast arrest of the knife hanging from their waists on the steps, they all began to worry one by one, and looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng is dressed in Confucian clothes, he is originally twenty-six or seventeen years old, he looks handsome and mixed with might, and there is no trace of elegance in the might, so a full Qiang man.

Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and clasped his fists in front of the yamen: "Down is Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, when he slept in the inn until midnight, a group of black-clothed people sneaked into the inn to kill more than ten people, and they came to report the case. ”

The catcher paced back and forth, looked Lu Xiangsheng up and down several times, and asked with a puzzled face: "Since you said that you are the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, do you have a certificate?" ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand behind him, and walked to Lu Xiangsheng's side with a small rectangular wooden box in his hand for an hour.

Lu Xiangsheng opened the wooden box, took out his official seal letter from it and handed it to the head catcher.

The head catcher held the official seal letter in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and after returning the official seal letter to Lu Xiangsheng, he asked with some displeasure: "Since you are the prefect, this drum can be beaten once." Why do you have to knock on and on? ”

Before Lu Xiangsheng could speak, two people, one fat and one thin, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the second drum was beaten by the grass people......

"The third pass is a ...... knocked by grass people"

Seeing so many people beating drums and complaining, the head catcher frowned and said, "This is really strange." Usually there is not a single drummer, but today three came. Could it be that there are murders in your area, too? ”

One fat and one thin, the two hurriedly responded: "The adults are really discerning, and the grass people are the ...... who came to report the murder."

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, the head catcher did not dare to make an assertion. After pondering for a while, he said to everyone: "Since there are so many murder cases, then you will wait in the yamen hall first, and when the adults ascend to the court, their cases will be heard!" ”

In this way, Lu Xiangsheng and others followed the arrest into the yamen hall of the Criminal Department.

On closer inspection, except for the empty seats under the high-hanging plaque of the mirror, the documents on both sides have already been prepared, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are waiting quietly. The two rows of officials holding the water and fire ruthless stick stood straight, propped the water and fire ruthless stick in their hands diagonally on the ground and looked ahead. It's as if Lu Xiangsheng and the others don't exist at all.

As time passed, the east gradually revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly. The red morning sun rises from the east, illuminating everything on the earth.

Everyone stood quietly in the lobby like this, not even daring to breathe, standing until their legs were sore, their feet were swollen, and their lower body was numb.

The leader was dressed in a first-class official robe, without a trace of expression on his face, and strode in. After a closer look, the person is none other than Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Cui Chengxiu walked under the plaque hanging high in Spiegel, slowly sat down in the chair, grabbed the startled wood from the table and patted it.

"Smack!"

"Ascension ......"

"Mighty ......"

Two rows of servants beat the ground paved with blue bricks with ruthless sticks in their hands.

As the voice of ascension shouted, the people in the hall fell to their knees one after another.

"Who is the brittle in the hall? What grievances are there to bring me the pleadings! ”

When the third class official received the paper, Cui Chengxiu set his eyes on Lu Xiangsheng who was standing in the lobby.

"Smack!"

Cui Chengxiu patted the wood in surprise and asked, "Who are you?" Why didn't you kneel when you saw the official? ”

Although Lu Xiangsheng doesn't like Cui Chengxiu, Wei Zhongxian's lackey. But now that he is in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and Cui Chengxiu is the highest official of the Criminal Department, Lu Xiangsheng has no choice but to salute Cui Chengxiu.

"Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Xiaguan Daimyo's Mansion, has seen the adult, and forgive the official for his fame and official position, so he won't kneel down to the adult."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiangsheng just bowed to Cui Chengxiu and hugged his fist.

Today's Lu Xiangsheng is the person appointed by the emperor to support Liaodong, and Cui Chengxiu is not too embarrassed. waved his hand and said, "Since it is Governor Lu's mansion, then give a seat on the side." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

……

Cui Chengxiu picked up the three pieces of paper handed over by the official and looked at them. His brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he fell into deep thought: "Strange, the heads and disciples of these three families have basically been killed by Ling Yun, who is it who has such a deep hatred for them?" And at the same time, these three families were killed without leaving a chicken dog? ”

After thinking for a long time, Cui Chengxiu looked at the person kneeling down in the hall and asked, "Have you ever seen the murderer's face?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Lu Xiangsheng stood up, clasped his fists at Cui Chengxiu and said, "My lord, Xia Guan has fought with those men in black. They advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and their movements are neat and consistent. If the subordinate guesses correctly, they should be non-commissioned officers in the army. ”

"Sergeant?" Cui Chengxiu's eyes narrowed into a slit, and after pondering for a while, he said to the third-class officer: "Quickly send someone to block the scene of the crime, and idle people are not allowed to enter without permission, and if there is any disobedience, they will all be arrested and put in prison." ”

"Yes......"

After the arrangement, Cui Chengxiu looked at Lu Xiangsheng and the people kneeling in the lobby: "You all go back!" There are many suspicions in this case, and after Rong Benguan played the emperor, let the emperor come up to make a decision. ”

"Master Xie......"

Now that Cui Chengxiu has taken over the case, Lu Xiangsheng did not stop any longer, and left the hall of the criminal department with everyone.

After retiring from the court, Cui Chengxiu did not enter the palace to play the emperor, but came to Wei Zhongxian's mansion non-stop.

The sun was shining brightly, and there was not a single cloud in the blue sky. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the flowers and plants in the garden swing back and forth.

Wei Honglian sat in a pavilion by the pond in the garden, leaning on the pillars of the pavilion, staring listlessly at the fish swimming in the pond, and threw the fish food into the pond.

The slightest breeze blew her black and beautiful hair, and the flowing hair swayed from side to side with the breeze.

Just when Wei Honglian was melancholy, the little maid Qiushuang seemed to be chased by a wolf, and ran into the pavilion in a hurry, panting and said, "Little ...... Small...... Ah, Miss...... Big...... Big...... Ah, that's it...... Whew...... Big things are not good......"

Wei Honglian looked at the fish in the pond without looking back and said, "What else can be a big deal?" ”

"Miss doesn't know, the commander of the Flying Eagle Guard was seriously injured by the master of Su Ningbo's mansion, Su Ningbo was broken by the Ling commander's leg, and the son of Suning Bo was killed by Meng Tianya's broken head." Qiushuang said with her hands on her stomach and panting.

"What? He's hurt? Wei Honglian stood up suddenly, her face was full of anxiety, and she grabbed Qiushuang's arm with both hands and asked!

"Miss, you don't care if you get hurt or not, now that the nine thousand years old are furious, ready to clean up Commander Ling, you better hurry up and take a look!"
