Chapter 237: Investigation

The little eunuch was very fast, and he happened to meet Chen Shangshu who had just come out of the Qianqing Palace on the road.

"Lord Chen, quickly, the general is waiting for you at the gate of the palace, saying that he is looking for you in an emergency." The little eunuch ran out of breath and said loudly to Chen Shangshu.

Chen Shangshu glanced at the direction of the palace gate, nodded, and walked briskly over there.

Lu Yi summoned the attendant to his side, looked at him coldly, didn't say a word, exuded a powerful aura on his body, and pressed the attendant so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head, just silently bowed his head and trembled.

"General, he, did he be killed?" The attendant's tears were falling in his eyes, and the dead man had a better relationship with him in the mansion.

Originally, he thought that this time it was a fat mess, and the general and his wife would be in a very good mood after participating in the full moon banquet, and their rewards would be indispensable at that time, so this time he deliberately pulled his fellow villagers to come with him, but who knew that such a thing happened halfway.

Lu Yi didn't speak, squatting next to the corpse, observing carefully.

"General Lu." Chen Shangshu arrived in time and looked at Lu Yi's line of sight, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Who is this who is so vicious?" The dead attendant had his throat cut and a heavy knife in his heart, probably because he was afraid that he would not die like this, so he stabbed him in the stomach again, and the one on his neck was too hard, and only a little skin and tendon were still implicated at this time, and it seemed that he had almost been cut off by someone.

Lu Yi looked up at Chen Shangshu and shook his head, "Lord Chen, this matter is a little strange, these are the two attendants who are in charge of guarding the carriage of the General's Mansion. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yi pointed to the only one who was still alive now, and his eyes swirled back and forth on him thoughtfully.

"I didn't ask you in detail, and now that Lord Chen is also present, you must not tell me a lie, understand." Lu Yi stared at the attendant and said fiercely.

The attendant was already afraid of him, but when he heard his words, he naturally nodded busily.

"Have you ever left the carriage?" Lu Yi asked, and Chen Shangshu's eyes were also staring directly at the attendant.

As the secretary of the Criminal Department, Chen Shangshu has always had the nickname of Eagle Eye, just because he has a ruthless eye, he can see at a glance whether what the prisoner said is lying, so he has such a reputation.

Over time, under his sight, basically no prisoner could tell a lie calmly.

Now it was no exception, the attendant was pressed by these two eyes, and he wanted to tell him how old he was still wetting the bed, his thighs trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Back to the general, villain, the villain did leave the carriage for a while, at that time the villain wanted to go to the thatched house, and now there are two people in each line anyway, so he explained some things to the man, and went to the thatched house."

"When did this man disappear, and why did you never find out?" Lu Yi then asked.

The attendant's body shook a few times, as if he had thought of some bad experience, raised his head and shrunk at Lu Yi, and then quietly glanced at Chen Shangshu.

Chen Shangshu frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed, and the attendant suddenly shivered, and then spoke, "That person's name is Li Er, he is a fellow villager of the villain, and the villain has always had a good relationship with him, but he is a little lazy and likes to gamble." ”

"The villain has always taken care of him very much, thinking that there might be a reward this time, so he secretly moved his hands and feet, replaced the original person, and let Li Er and the villain follow the general and his wife to the banquet together."

"In the past, Li Er often did those things that were cheating and slippery, and the villain didn't see Li Er when he came back from going to the toilet, but when he was the same as before, he was tired of watching the carriage and went to find a place to play."

Speaking of this, the attendant suddenly knelt down, hugged Lu Yi's feet and began to cry, "General, the villain really doesn't know what happened, the villain has no power to restrain the chicken, and he can't do any martial arts, this Li Er's death has nothing to do with the villain." ”

Lu Yi frowned, a little tired of someone touching him like this, with long legs, the person who was still holding his feet just now was kicked out by him in an instant.

"Chen Shangshu, what do you think?" After all, this matter was explained to Li Shangshu by the emperor, and even if Lu Yi had a heart, he couldn't go beyond it.

Chen Shangshu glanced at the attendant, then at the dead Li Er, pondered for a moment, pointed at the attendant, and said, "General, what this person said is not very credible, according to what I see, it is better to take him to the prison of the Criminal Department first, and I will interrogate him slowly." ”

After Chen Shangshu finished speaking, Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, this Chen Shangshu has always been iron-faced and selfless, with him, at least the fairness of this case has been guaranteed.

"And this dead person, I also have to take it back to study, according to the knife edge, it seems that I can deduce what kind of murder weapon the murderer used, general, I will talk about the ugly words first."

Chen Shangshu paused, observed Lu Yi's face, and saw that he nodded slightly before continuing.

"This matter can't be conclusive, Mrs. Lu was framed, but since someone died, then I have to pursue it, if the final outcome can't be as General Lu wants, I hope General Lu won't embarrass me."

After speaking, Chen Shangshu saluted Lu Yi.

Seeing that several small countries on the border were still about to move, the role of Lu Yi, a Yum general, was particularly important at this time, so the emperor called him into the Qianqing Palace and deliberately told him that no matter how this case is investigated, it should not involve Lu Yi.

But looking at General Lu's affectionate appearance towards Mrs. Lu, I can't guarantee that he will take the initiative to jump in, and if something really happens at that time, it will be a little unclear.

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, what kind of person Xi'er is, as a husband, I know best, I believe she won't do such a thing, Lord Chen will investigate, I just hope that this matter can be revealed as soon as possible."

The two saluted each other, and their faces were harmonious, but behind this case, there was still a turbulent undercurrent.

Sending things to the prison is the most difficult, it is almost the most strictly guarded place in the entire Cangliang, if there is no relationship, even if the rich and rival countries cannot send even a grain of rice to it.

Although Chen Shangshu is not the direct person in charge of the prison, he can also speak on the side of the prison.

While Chen Shangshu was still here, Lu Yi hurriedly begged him for some things.

Xi'er is still pregnant, the environment of the prison is harsh, if there are three long and two short, whether the people inside will be said to the outside is unknown, Lu Yi can only do his best to make Xi'er's life in the inner a little better.
