On Sunday, Lu Zheng naturally did not go to the exhibition with Iris, but went to Beijing, but did not go to class, got off the highway, and drove straight to Xicheng District.

Xicheng District belongs to the inner city of old Beijing, retains a large number of cultural relics and historic sites, at the same time its Shichahai periphery, is the most complete preservation of the old Beijing style haode place, the palace garden, the courtyard houses along the river of Shichahai around, formed an irregular but dense network of net-like alleys, these alleys are built according to the situation, natural nature.

The car drove into the alley on the north shore of Houhai, and some of the courtyard houses in it were used as office locations by newspapers, etc., and there were also old Beijing people who lived a leisurely life in the same house for several generations, Lu Zheng parked the car next to the back wall of a courtyard house, got out of the car, and gently rang the doorbell.

Soon, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and the TV monitoring doorbell system estimated that it had already presented its appearance in front of the owner of the house, which was the most advanced civil security facility purchased from abroad.

The door was gently pulled open from the inside, and standing behind the door was a girl with a slightly dark face, who said in slightly stiff English, "Hello, sir." ”

Lu Zheng nodded and stepped into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the corridors on the four sides are carved beams and painted columns, and in the patio, Wei Xiangxiu, who is wearing a light suit, is pacing slowly, she is more than five months pregnant, but because Wei Xiangxiu is relatively thin, she is wearing fluffy clothes, and she can't see that she is pregnant at all.

This courtyard house was bought by Lu Zheng, more than 500 square meters, only 500,000 yuan, this is because the location is particularly good, sitting in the north and facing south, you can see the blue waves of Houhai when you go out.

Lu Zheng knew that he had a soft spot for this courtyard house because he had bought it in his previous life, but after he was imprisoned, it was seized and auctioned off, and it was bought by a wealthy man in the capital at a very low price, in fact, when he was imprisoned for the second time, this courtyard house had already been offered a high price of 150 million, but the rich man who robbed his courtyard had no intention of selling it at all.

Thinking of the rich man who had always coveted his courtyard and took his courtyard as his own, Lu Zheng felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Although it's all in the past, in this shijie, it's all something that hasn't happened, and it is estimated that it won't happen again, and I try not to think about it, but every time I think about it inadvertently, it's not a pleasant feeling.

"What's wrong with you?"

Wei Xiangxiu's voice woke up Lu Zheng, and seeing Wei Xiangxiu, who was originally smiling, came over with a hesitant face, Lu Zheng knew that his current face might not be very good-looking.

"It's fine." Lu Zheng shook his head, also threw away those messy thoughts, and then smiled: "You, don't be too tired, it's good to walk every day, but you also have to pay attention to rest." ”

Wei Xiangxiu chuckled: "I know, you are really verbose. ”

Lu Zheng glared at her, but it caused Wei Xiangxiu to laugh coquettishly, since she was pregnant, and seeing that Lu Zheng was particularly concerned about the baby, Wei Xiangxiu finally found the feeling of getting along with Lu Zheng on an equal footing, although deep in her heart, the fear of Lu Zheng has never disappeared.

Sitting on the bamboo chair in the corridor, Lu Zheng saw a stack of English law textbooks on the table, one of which was opened, and there were notes made by Wei Xiangxiu on it.

Lu Zheng picked up this book and flipped through it, only to find out that over the years, Wei Xiangxiu has not been wasting her time, her English foundation has been extremely solid, no wonder she was promoted very quickly, in the judicial circles of southern Yunnan, Wei Xiangxiu should be a very professional elite, not just a bureaucrat.

"Are you self-taught?" Lu Zheng asked with some curiosity.

Wei Xiangxiu chuckled: "Since the report said that I was going abroad to study, I always had to learn something by myself, so I was bored while I was sitting, and I wanted to recharge while I had free time during this time, and I signed up for a judicial training class abroad that I could study by myself, the kind that didn't have any formal certificates." ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly.

On the side, another dark-skinned woman brought fragrant tea, also a not fluent in English, and like the girl who opened the door, she was also one of the four Filipino maids hired by Lu Zheng to take care of Wei Xiangxiu. The main reason for inviting Filipino maids is that they have no social connections in the country, so they can rest assured that they don't have to worry about leaking secrets due to special circumstances in Weishenme a long time later.

When I was having dinner with Wei Xiangxiu at noon, the pager rang, and Lu Zheng looked at it, it was Wang Yubao, and it was Ma Wenge's case that was sentenced.

"I'll go out and make a phone call later." As Lu Zheng spoke, he quickly pulled the rice, this courtyard naturally has a telephone, but it is as close as Wang Yubao, at this time, Lu Zheng does not want to have this courtyard and himself involved, although using the number here to call Wang Yubao, the probability that Wang Yubao will go to check the location of the phone installation is almost zero.

"You have a good rest in the afternoon, I probably won't come back." Lu Zheng carefully advised.

Wei Xiangxiu smiled and said, "Got it." ”

Lu Zheng drove out of the Hutong District, turned a few streets, parked the car next to a newsstand, this street is not wide, weeping willows cling, the buildings on both sides are not very high, there are two-story guest houses, there are also seven or eight-story electronic commercial buildings, pedestrians are bustling, or walking or cycling, not far away, there is a relatively well-known literary school.

Lu Zheng knows that here, the basements of the residential buildings on both sides are full of Beipiao, and the current Beipiao family is mostly engaged in art and music, the capital has its irreplaceable weight, and the neighboring Wushan is free and prosperous, but in the hearts of the Beipiao family, if you want to preach in the music hall or the art palace, the capital is the first choice.

The owner of the newsstand was a kind old lady, and when she saw Lu Zheng pick up the phone and dial the number of the province, she smiled and said, "Young man, do you call long distances?" Seeing that Lu Zheng nodded in confirmation, he didn't ask anymore.

After two beeps, Wang Yubao picked up the phone, and his loud voice was afraid that the old lady in the newsstand could hear it clearly, "I was just sentenced, and I was sentenced to three years for the crime of intentional injury." ”

Lu Zheng snorted. According to the Criminal Law, Ma Wenge can be sentenced to up to three years in prison, criminal detention or controlled release, but usually, if an intentional injury causes a person to be slightly injured, the starting sentence will be determined within the range of six months to one year and six months in prison, and the sentence is three years, which is the most severe punishment within the scope of the law.

However, judging from Ma Wenge's bad behavior of beating an old man, he has not received any lessons because of his father's protection over the years丨If it continues like this, he will be arrogant and domineering, and the consequences will become more and more serious, so it may not be a good thing for him to be sentenced to three years and let him learn a lesson.

It's just that Ma Weiguo will definitely hate Wang Yubao and himself to death, especially, he must think that he is behind the bad work, but it is also true that although he has not made a sound, how can he say that he does not have his own Yu system in this judgment?

Lu Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "I think the sentence is a little heavier, but since it has been sentenced, of course, it must be subject to the court's judgment." ”

Wang Yubao laughed and said, "I'm afraid you're not satisfied." ”

Lu Zheng noticed the change in the old lady's eyes in the newsstand, from the time she heard what the case was, the old lady seemed to prick up her ears to listen to her phone, and now her eyes have also changed, thinking that she was called by Wang Yubao, and felt that she was the emperor of the soil somewhere.

"Okay, I'm not on the phone here, I'll go back and talk." Lu Zheng hung up the phone.

The old lady gestured to eight and said, "Eight cents for the long talk." ”

Lu Zheng handed her a piece of banknotes, and when she was looking for money, Lu Zheng looked around, and suddenly was stunned, and saw two people walking out of a teahouse not far away, a man and a woman, all acquaintances, Liu Shoucheng and Cui Ying.

It seemed that Liu Shoucheng was in front, but Cui Ying was chasing behind, as if he was begging Liu Shoucheng for something.

Lu Zheng turned his gaze, but he still didn't see it.

remembered that Liu Shoucheng sent a message to Cui Ying to ask her for coffee, and it seems that the two of them really have something to do.

Liu Shoucheng came to Beijing for a meeting in the past two days, but he knew that Cui Ying must have come to class, and he became a classmate with her in the law class, and he also took several intensive classes, but she deliberately sat far away from herself every time, and gradually, she almost forgot that she was such a classmate.

Taking the money that the old lady was looking for, Lu Zheng swept over there from the corner of his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, Liu Shoucheng and Cui Ying were walking along the side road to their side.

Lu Zheng lowered his head to look through the newspapers and magazines on the newsstand, hoping that the two of them would walk past him.

"Liu Shoucheng, don't deceive people too much"

Cui Ying suppressed the angry voice and drilled into his ears, Lu Zheng knew that no matter how sensitive his ears were, they were already very close to him.

With a "bang", Lu Zheng was suddenly hit hard, but it was Liu Shoucheng who hit him when he was dodging the oncoming child.

Lu Zheng was almost knocked on the newsstand, this nest of fire in his heart, didn't Lao Liu find it himself?

Liu Shoucheng was staggering, muttering something in his mouth, and suddenly, he saw Lu Zheng who turned to look at him, Liu Shoucheng was stunned when he was established, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

"Lao Liu, Xiao Cui." Lu Zheng nodded at the two of them.

I never expected to meet Lu Zheng here, and the car that Lu Zheng parked on the side of the street was not the black Santana that he often used in Wushan, so it didn't attract Liu Shoucheng's attention at all.

Facing Lu Zheng at this time, he was stunned for a while before he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "You, are you coming to Beijing?" ”

Cui Ying was also discolored, and her face was pale and terrible.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Yes, I originally came to class today, and when I met an old friend, I got together, what, how did you meet together?" ”

Liu Shoucheng was stunned, and said with a forced smile: "It's also a coincidence, I ran into it, don't I come to the meeting, you know." Xiao Cui, also came to Beijing to study, right? As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Cui Ying.

Cui Yingqiao's face was cloudy, obviously, she was doing a fierce ideological struggle in her heart, and suddenly, she said to Lu Zheng: "Mayor Lu, I want to turn myself in, I want to report the situation to you." ”

"Xiao Cui" Liu Shoucheng wanted to drink her, and then, he noticed Lu Zheng's frowning brows, he was without a master for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
