Chapter 488: Secret Verification

The seven-day average daily update jumps for monthly pass support

Lu Mingzhi was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. storehouse

LΓΌ Mingzhi was very depressed, and his family had crossed the ocean as early as the end of the Song Dynasty, wandering around the South Seas, and finally settled in Luzon, where they took root in the town of tortoiseshell (present-day Philippines). Today, he has become the richest dog in Luzon, where he has great power. This trade route to Daming was not in his charge before, even if he was not a gentleman in the family, he was also a rich man who lacked wind and rain experience.

This time, he heard his father mention to him that the Lu family had boarded up with the grandfather of the Ming Fuguo, and the stability of this route would make more profits in the future. He was the third son of the patriarch and the youngest son, and he was always pampered, because he had less experience. The old patriarch considered that he should also let his younger son gain some knowledge, so he agreed to his request.

In fact, he was on the line with the Ming Fuguo Gong, which is also highly secret in the Lu family, and only the core members of the family know this secret, but for his son, the patriarch of the Lu clan has no need to hide it, and when he said this secret, he didn't expect that Lu Mingzhi would take the boat to the Central Plains on a whim.

Unexpectedly, this son really had too little experience, and when he encountered a slight setback, he exposed his hole cards and showed off the relationship between his family and high-level officials in the Ming Dynasty, and was used by Ji Wenhe, a caring person.

Lu Mingzhi still doesn't understand why Ji Wenhe was polite at the time, why he locked him up after he said his words, until he entered the prison of the Criminal Department, he still didn't know the reason. However, he was not treated harshly along the way, and he didn't know the cruelty of the Ming criminal law, in his opinion, there was no problem that could not be solved with money, but now he had not had the opportunity to meet the person in charge, who could bribe money. Therefore, in addition to being depressed in prison, he did not have much fear and worry, and it is also a blessing for the ignorant to be fearless.

Lu Mingzhi was lying on the prison bed bored, thinking nonsense, the cell door "clicked", Lu Mingzhi sat up, and saw the cell door open widely, and slowly walked in a person, this person was tall, with heavy eyebrows, dark complexion, slightly high eyebrow arch, slightly sunken eyes, and a smooth but no beard under his chin. He wears a troll, and a hat on his head.

Lu Mingzhi jumped off the ground and shouted, "What's the matter with you Ming people, why did you detain me for no reason?" I am because you have a great relationship with my family, so I personally brought the boat to Daming, I didn't expect you to be so polite to me, I will not give up on this matter, and when I go out, I must ask for justice from the Auxiliary Kingdom! ”

The man's bright eyes looked at him, and he smiled slightly, and his smile was very kind. The person who came was Zheng He, one of the best stewards and eunuchs in the palace, and a cronie among Zhu Di's cronies.

"You're coming to Daming for the first time?"

"Not bad! In the past, our ship came, and the wife was always peaceful, but I didn't expect that I would bring the ship back once, and such a thing happened, what the hell are you ......?"

Zheng He interrupted him and asked again, "So, Lord Fuguo, you haven't seen it before?" ”

Lu Mingzhi said confidently: 'Not bad', I haven't seen it! However, your Fuguo Gong once took the initiative to send someone to make friends with my Lu family, this is what my father said personally, how can I not know. @ζœ¬η« θŠ‚ε­€η‹¬ζ‰‹ζ‰“@εΊ“r

Zheng He frowned slightly, the kid in front of him was obviously a gentleman who had no scheming and no experience, he was caught smuggling and trafficking, and he dared to blatantly publicize his backstage relationship, so superficial, he was really a living treasure.

Zheng He said again: "Our family was ordered to come just to confirm your relationship with the Duke of Fuguo, if what you said is true, we will naturally let you out and treat you with courtesy, but who knows if you are bluffing and pretending to be the relationship with the Duke of Fuguo?" You said that Fu Guogong has a great relationship with your family, so why did Fu Guogong make friends with your family, and why did he go to the ocean to find your family? ”

"This ......"

The reason for the inner reason, Lu Mingzhi really didn't know, thought about it, and said, "This ...... Naturally, it is because my Lu family is the most powerful maritime merchant in Luzon, and you Fuguo Gong want to do business with my family. ”

Zheng He's eyes were like torches, staring at him tightly, and asked, "Naturally, the door thinks so, of course, you think you are ......?"

Lu Mingzhi's face turned red, and he defended: "Why not, my merchant ship is here, and since I handed over the goods to his people, his people are responsible for protecting our safety, but now it's good, we didn't encounter pirates, but we were caught by your people in a daze!" ”

Zheng He frowned again, knowing that there was nothing useful from the waste mouth of this second ancestor or even maybe the third and fourth ancestors, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked again: "It is the first time that you have taken a boat to sea, and your father is so relieved that you are on that boat, won't he arrange for someone who is used to the sea route to assist you?" ”

Lu Mingzhi said: "That is naturally there, my old housekeeper Lei Mucai, who has followed my father all his life, this route has always been in charge of him, I came out with the ship this time, I originally wanted to deliver the goods and come to Daming to see the local characters, who would have thought, inexplicably, along the way I saw all kinds of your prisoner cars, prisons, this thing is ......"

Zheng He suddenly: "Has the Duke of Fuguo entrusted your Lu family to find the whereabouts of anyone in the Luzon area?" ”

Lu Ming was stunned, and said strangely: 'Do business, do business', who is looking for the whereabouts of people? ”

Zheng He listened, turned around and left, the two officials who were standing far away saw him come out, and immediately rushed over to lock the prison door, Lu Mingzhi threw himself next to the fence and shouted to him: "Hey, what do you mean?" If you don't believe me, you can ask the Auxiliary Prince! Let me out and find out! "Slack

Zheng He turned a deaf ear and asked the cell leader, 'Where are all the subordinates of this man......

The cell leader nodded and said: "'Father-in-law', surnamed Lu, is an important witness, and he was detained here alone, and all his subordinates were imprisoned together, twelve people in a cell, in an ordinary prison. Father-in-law, please ...... here."

In the ordinary prison, in a small cell, a cell for twelve people, it was already crowded, and there was a toilet in the corner, although they had a time to release the wind every day, and they had to take turns to clean the toilet, but there were many people who could not use it, and the cell still smelled all day long.

Most of them were sailors, and they were all strong men, because they had weapons on their own ships, and if they encountered pirates on the way, they had to take up arms and flee as they fought, so they were all extremely strong men.

At the opposite corner of the toilet, at the innermost end of the wall, sat a white-haired old man, who was given the best position, and who was obviously the highest in this cell.

In fact, this old housekeeper was born in the Lu family, grew up in the Lu family, and has been serving the Lu family for three generations. In fact, in the town of Tortoiseshell Luzon, the Lei family also has its own business name and sea vessels, which is close to the semi-independent business name of the vassal Lu family.

It's just that although this business was established by Lei Mucai, it was handed over to his son to take care of, Lao Lei worked hard for the Lu family all his life, and was deeply valued by the Lu family, he was able to buy his own family business, create his own business, and also have the support and help of the Lu family.

Therefore, in terms of status, he is not as good as Lu Mingzhi in the Lu family, but in the hearts of these sailors and warriors, his status is higher than that of Lu Mingzhi, and he is deeply respected by all the children and members of the Lu family.

**When the family was in the wind the day before yesterday, he was quietly pulled aside by a jailer. The jailer told him about the matter between him and his real dealer, He Tianyang, which was something that only the two parties to deal with knew about, gained his trust, and then told him some things, these things he actually knew a little bit before, because the head of the family had confessed to him, but through this person, he knew more details.

** How experienced the family is, he immediately realized that there may be a problem within the Ming Dynasty, and the auxiliary prince may have trouble himself, he was entrusted by the head of the family and took the third prince to the sea, and the loyal Lao Lei naturally wanted to do whatever it took to keep the third prince back, he knew that everything the jailer told him must be the key to getting out of trouble, so he kept it firmly in mind.

The old housekeeper was huddled in the corner, thinking about this while raising his mind, and suddenly, the cell was quiet, and the old housekeeper opened his eyes, and saw several jailers walking to the cell, opening the cell door, looking inside, and shouting: "Lei Mucai, come out!" ”

Lei Mu was taken to a quiet cell, where only one person, dressed in a troll, wore a hat and hat, and sat quietly on a prison bed.

Leather cells with prison beds are places where prisoners of higher status or more important status are held, but this person is clearly not a prisoner.

He raised his head, looked at the prisoner who was brought in front of him, smiled faintly, and said, "You, and the lives of the third young master of your family, are tied to the next sentence I want to ask you, you have to answer seriously!" ”

Lei Mu was stunned and asked cautiously, "I don't know this adult...... What to ask? ”

The person in front of him has no need under his chin, and the well-informed ** family has vaguely guessed his identity, but he still needs to confirm it further before he can say what he knows.

Zheng He said: "The Auxiliary State Duke gave you the convenience of merchant ships, and as a price, did he entrust you to find someone on your behalf?" ”

Lei Mucai's eyes flashed, and he stopped talking again, looking worried, and only reluctantly replied after a while: "Yes!" I don't know who Grandpa Fuguo is looking for, but ...... He did entrust the head of my Lu family to find the corpse of a person from Middle-earth in the Lu Song Dynasty. ”

Zheng He said: 'Luzon is smaller than my Celestial Empire', but it is also human. Shelving, but how to find power in this word......"

Lei Mu Caidao: 'Naturally, there is a portrait to rely on. ”

Zheng He smiled even more happily, and said slowly: "I heard that you are a scholar and have served the head of the Lu family since childhood.

The scholars of the big family, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all involved, presumably the portrait of this is superficial, you can still draw the mouth I have half a painting here, if you can take it, you will save the life of your young master! ”

Zheng He slowly took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and opened it to the world, there are very few people who recognize the emperor's appearance, even if many people have been officials all their lives and have never seen the emperor's appearance, but if the close ministers of the Son of Heaven who often go up to the court to pay homage to the face of the heavens, just look at the half of the face above the bridge of the nose, you can recognize that the portrait on this painting is Zhu Yunwei.

Zheng He put the portrait in front of him, took out a charcoal pen and pressed it on the portrait, and looked at Lei Mucai quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng He walked out of the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department with his ** family, and said to Li Qing, the servant of the Criminal Department, who hurriedly arrived after hearing the news: 'This person is an important witness', I will take him away! On the day of the interrogation, it was all over Zhao! ”
