Chapter 229: Old Case, Inducement of Confession, Investigation

Snow Eagle still has a letter sent by Princess Lu Yu Luo Junman in his arms.

Since arriving in Yizhou City, letters have become the most straightforward way to know about her situation.

More than one letter was received.

Even the man who was with her and brought her to the southwest sent him a letter.

After reading the rest, Xueying remembered the contents clearly, but only the one written by the princess herself, he didn't want to destroy it with complicated feelings.

The upright block letters on the letter paper reminded him of the immature font like a dog crawling in the memory of the Imperial City of Snow Country.

The little princess when he was a child, he has no impression anymore.

The beginning of all the intersection in his memories was the scene when she came to her senses and made a surprising remark on him in the court.

The place where Xue Ying lived with the big families in the southwest was selected by him in Yizhou City as the city lord's mansion.

Acting strictly and disciplined, he naturally did not occupy any of the land of the common people who lived in the city.

This temporary city lord's mansion was originally a large mansion where a wealthy merchant surnamed Chen lived for generations, but in the generation of a wealthy merchant surnamed Chen, there was only one daughter in the family, and he only married one wife.

The husband and wife are affectionate and do not regard the only daughter they have as a pity.

Monogamy is very rare in the southwest, and it is rare that the Chen family is still very wealthy.

Many years ago, their only daughter got married, and the family moved to the capital of Huguo, and then the couple also moved the family business to the place where the daughter was.

In this way, Chen's house was vacant at first, and gradually became desolate, and the weeds in the courtyard grew half a person tall.

Houses that have not been repaired and maintained for a long time are starting to deteriorate.

When Xue Ying first came to Yizhou City to choose a site, he heard the allusion of the Chen family, which invisibly touched a trace of his heart hidden in his heart.

Without hesitation, he chose this mansion as his city lord's mansion in Yizhou City.

The Chen house is very large. He only had a few of the relatively dilapidated courtyards repaired, and these places alone were enough to accommodate him and his subordinates.

This time. For the construction of the project after the earthquake in the southwest, I invited a group of people to say that it sounded good. It was said that it was a temporary house arrest to discuss the matter of materials and manpower, so he ordered people to clean up two more courtyards so that they could be allocated to those people to live in.

The climate in the southwest is warm and humid, although it is autumn, but there is no grass and trees withering, and the Chen family house. The current Snow City Lord's Mansion is lush and green, and it is full of greenery when it comes to the eyes.

Snow eagle stands in a large bush of camellia lace. He took out the letter in his arms again, spread out the letter paper on the palm of his hand, and read it again.

He could almost memorize the words on it, but he couldn't help but read it over and over again.

The princess in the letter. The matter of the Chu Shao family was clearly explained, and an old case that happened before was also involved.

At that time, others had not yet come to the southwest.

Camellia flowers hang all over the branches, blooming bright and full, on the bright petals. The dew that occupies the early morning, looking at the past crystal lovely.

Snow Eagle carefully folded the letter and put it in the envelope, then put it in his bosom with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"City Lord!"

Luo Jun was full of wind under his feet, and hurriedly ran in and said, "The head of the Shao family is said to have left with his eldest son in the second half of the night. “

He stopped where he was, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The people they transferred left a team for you, saying that they were drawn from the Shao family, and they were sent by you. ”

"There are guards on duty in the gatehouse and backyard, but they don't hear any movement, and they are walking very strangely."

The look on Snow Eagle's face sank. "City Lord," Luo Junman stepped forward and said, "The group of people left by the Shao family master is only more than thirty. “

"He said it very well, saying that he had already transferred all the staff of the nursing home." "Plus the amount of silver he promised wasn't much." "Even the richest Shao family in the southwest is only willing to do this, so how will our dam be built and how will the waterproofing project be started?"

A worried look appeared on Luo Junman's face, which was quite incommensurate with his previous energetic appearance. "And now, he didn't know you, so he slipped away in a hurry under the pretext that there was something at home, so how to continue to negotiate with the remaining big households, he originally planned to spend some more time and get some more money."

"He set a precedent by himself, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future."

The figure of the snow eagle stood tall by the flowers, and the whole person was full of energy, but the words he said were a little heavy: "In terms of silver, it has actually been solved." ”

Luo Jun looked at the city lord in surprise, and for a while he suspected that his ears were wrong, his lips moved, but he didn't say a word, he just stared at the city lord with such eyes.

I want to see some clues on his face.

Xue Ying was silent for a while, patted the loyal subordinate on the shoulder, and said, "Aman, due to the impact of the earthquake, the money village that Litong was originally going to build in the southwest could not be established in time. ”

"But when Miss Gong Xiaoling came from Qibei, she brought silver, and she stored it in the dark room of Xiyuan."

When Luo Junman heard those four words, he recalled that he had been blackmailed on the street, and couldn't help but pout, and at this moment he heard very certain information that it was the silver that it was done, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Luo Junman was happy for a while, looked at Xue Ying and said strangely: "Since the biggest problem is no longer a problem, why is the city lord still preoccupied?" ”

"Naturally, I didn't want to use her private property, no matter how much or less," Xue Ying sighed and shook his head, "No, I never wanted to use a penny from her, you know"

His tone was a little slurred, as if he couldn't speak, Luo Junman's bright and shining eyes looked at him without blinking, still waiting for him to swallow the half of the sentence.

Such a city lord is too unexpected, too abnormal!

He followed the city lord for several years, born and died, and he had never seen the scene where the city lord was choked up even when he could say a word.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Cui'er, the annoying little girl who lived in the City Lord's Mansion, said such a sentence in a matter, Luo Junman heard it once and remembered it!

In Luo Junman's opinion, the two strangers who appeared out of nowhere, especially the little girl, the city lord has been conniving at her for no reason.

Including that chance encounter on the street, he was blackmailed, he hurriedly came back to report, and the Snow City Lord, who was busy with the construction project of collecting manpower and materials, actually had a rare smile. "Aman, you must know that even if you give this southwest region to her, it should be."

Luo Junman's mouth grew and he couldn't say a word.

Xue Ying adjusted his feelings and smiled at him: "Let's go to the stable, choose two horses, and let's go out for a walk today." “

Xue Ying took a step forward, and when he turned around, he saw that Luo Junman hadn't followed, and was still in place as if the wooden pole was stuck there, and he said loudly: "Don't leave yet, what are you doing in a daze?!" ”

With that, Snow Eagle didn't pay any attention to him, and walked straight in the direction of the stable

With a shake of the reins, the horse galloped under his crotch, and went all the way out of Yizhou City, far away to the valley adjacent to Dongshan Mountain.

Luo Junman followed casually at first, thinking that it was just the city lord's routine inspection of Yizhou City, until he was thrown away a long distance, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after him.

The distance between the two people gradually narrowed, Luo Junman didn't dare to relax his carelessness anymore, he could see that the city lord had something on his mind, but he didn't dare to ask more, thinking about getting off the horse for a while, and then finding a suitable time to ask in a roundabout way.

By the stream in the valley, the tall figure of Snow Eagle got off his horse, he tied his horse to the edge of the woods, and walked into the woods one after the other with Luo Junman.

"City Lord." After a long while, Luo Junman opened his mouth and called him.

Snow Eagle turned his head to stare at him and said, "There is something, you go and check it." ”

"What?" Hearing that there was something to do, Luo Junman suddenly straightened up.

"A few years ago, I hadn't come to the southwest yet, and there were some entanglements between the Fang and Shao families."

"At that time, a concubine died in the Fang family, and it is said that the death is unknown."

"In this matter, the Fang family sued the city lord at the time, saying that he was poisoned by Shao Wenda, the son of the Shao family."

"At that time, the case was suppressed, and the city lord did not act, and the other was forced by the power of the Shao family, of course, he must have received a lot of benefits."

"You quietly go to check on this matter, but the time is very urgent, only give you two days, I want to know the whole thing."

Luo Junman listened carefully, nodded and said: "This is not difficult, since this case is in Yizhou City, not to mention the people under the Fang Shao family, even the people in the city must have heard of it." ”

"It's not difficult to follow the clues and check."

"There's one more thing I want you to do." Xue Ying walked a few steps, turned his head to Luo Junman and said, "You quietly revealed some news to the Shao family." ”

"What's the wind?"

"The Fang family secretly promised a thousand taels of silver as a reward for overturning the case and finding out the truth."

"A thousand taels of silver?"

Luo Junman was startled and said, "The old man of this Fang family is bargaining crookedly for the sake of repairing the project, and this is a big deal for the old case of a concubine." ”

Xue Ying looked at him with a smile without saying a word, and Luo Jun said with a full empower: "Is it fake? ”

He suddenly realized, and then said with some doubts: "But if you tell this lie, what should the Shao family do if you go to the Fang family to verify it?" ”

"City Lord, there is no such thing as a thousand taels." "Aman, so I want you to check quietly, and the rumors must be revealed in secret, how to do it most safely, you might as well use your brain."

Xue Ying raised his hand to break off a dead branch, drew a few words on the ground, waited for the other party to see it clearly, and then erased it.

He stood up, stood under the tree and said to Luo Junman: "I have already given you a hint, and it is up to you next." ”
