Chapter 882 is far from over
In fact, it was not only Lu Jin, but Yao Gan and the others on the side also looked quite unkind after hearing this question, and they seemed to have a kind of eagerness to step forward and make a move against Zhu Xuan and the others, which made the two of them feel more and more panicked in their hearts. After a while, Gong Chen suddenly came to his senses, and quickly kowtowed and shouted: "Adults Mingjian, no matter how bold the little ones are, they don't dare to fight the idea of Jinyiwei, let alone hurt them......"
Zhu Xuan also hurriedly followed and said: "My lord, the little one has never dealt with the people of Jinyiwei, even if it gives us a great courage, we don't dare to harm Jinyiwei's superiors......"
"Is that so?" Lu Jin's gaze kept sweeping over the two of them with some suspicion, but he really didn't see any flaws. In fact, he also believed that with the courage and means of these two people, it was indeed impossible to kill the Jinyi Wei secret agent, and he would not let people find out the truth. What they rely on is just the name of the Zhou Palace, but it is not how extraordinary their ability really is.
"Then do you know about the two corpses that suddenly appeared in the Dragon King's Temple outside the city about a month or two ago? Do you know what's going on? Who is the poisoner? Lu Zhen immediately asked again. He asked this question not only to these two people, but also to other county officials.
Sure enough, although Zhu Xuan and the others were still panicked and dazed, Ding Le opened his mouth: "My lord, are those two nameless corpses actually the superior of Jinyiwei?" ”
"Yes, they came to Xingze County on my orders to find out the truth about the breach of the river embankment. It's just that I didn't expect to die here suddenly in the end. Lu Zhen nodded solemnly.
"In fact, the lower officials of this case have also gone to the scene to investigate, but they have not found anything, and the body should have been moved to the Dragon King Temple. And with the chaos in the county at that time, Xia Guan really couldn't think of anyone else who could kill the two brocade guards, and he understood why someone would do this. Ding Le was also puzzled.
Lu Zhen nodded at him, his tone suddenly became heavy, and he looked at Zhu Xuan and the others again: "You really didn't lie to me?" If I know that you have something to hide in this matter, don't blame this official for being ruthless to you! ”
"No...... Can't. The little ones say that they are true and dare not lie. The two of them hurriedly swore an oath to excuse themselves: "The adults have also seen it, but there is no such master who can attack the upper and lower ones." ”
This is also true, Lu Zhen finally accepted their statement. Although the secret agent sent before is not a good hand in the pacification division, he also has a good martial arts, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to hurt them. After groaning, he waved his hand: "You first sign the confession, and then stay with the official with peace of mind." After the matter has a result, he will return to the capital with his official to testify. ”
As they spoke, the scribe on the side transcribed the confession they had just confessed and sent it to the two of them, asking them to sign it for confirmation. Looking at the above content one by one, the two of them inevitably showed embarrassment on their faces. Because they know very well that once they sign the pen, even if they completely betray the prince, then their life and death will be in the hands of Lu Jin.
But after Lu Jin's soft snort above, the two didn't dare to delay any longer, obediently took the pen, and signed their names on the confession. In this way, a criminal evidence against the king of Zhou for killing local officials, destroying the embankment of the Yellow River, and causing the death and destruction of hundreds of homes in Xingze County can be regarded as completely implemented.
After taking the confession from the scribe's hand and carefully reading the contents of the above to make sure that it was correct, Lu Zhen dried it and put it in his sleeve: "Take them down to guard them, don't be too difficult for them." ”
"Yes!" Immediately, some of his subordinates were ordered to step forward and take down the two important witnesses who were nervous.
Subsequently, everyone in the county government also retreated with each other, leaving this place to Lu Zhen and his subordinates. It was only then that someone said with some suspicion: "Dudu, are the words of the two of them really credible?" Are they really not the victims? But apart from them, would anyone else in this small Xingze County dare to do such a thing? ”
"Judging by the appearance of the two of them, it should not be their doing." Lu Zhen frowned and said, "Since they are willing to admit even such a serious crime as destroying the embankment, will they still deny such a trivial matter?" ”
"But they are facing our Jinyi Guard, and it is our brothers who die......"
"They just need to put all the fault on King Zhou, can we still ask King Zhou if it is not?" Lu Zhen has his own opinion: "Now it seems that the deaths of these two people are strange, and it is very likely to be related to the White Lotus Sect that suddenly appeared here this time. ”
"It's the White Lotus Sect again, they're really ghostly...... At that time, we should have taken advantage of the situation to catch up. Someone was very annoyed.
"Now there is still chaos in the city, and the trouble will only benefit them, so I didn't act rashly. But as long as they still refuse to settle down, one day, I will arrest them and avenge the innocent victims! Lu Zhen said, picked up the pen again, and began to write the letter bit by bit.
After he finished writing the letter, he asked someone to bring over another confession that the scribe had transcribed before, and made a letter, and then handed it to Yao Gan: "You find two clever brothers to go back to the capital, give this letter to Lord Yu Qian, and let him be the master of the people." ”
Lu Zhen knew very well that he was actually acting privately this time, so after finding out the truth of this matter, it was not good to go directly to Kaifeng to make trouble. The only way is to let things ferment in the court, and rely on the civil officials of the court to push the Son of Heaven to severely punish King Zhou. And Yu Qian, as a well-known high-ranking official in the DPRK today, is absolutely qualified to promote all this. He also believes that as a human being, once he knows the truth of this matter, he will never stand idly by, even if he is facing a relative of the emperor like King Zhou.
Yao Gan hurriedly agreed, then took the letter and hurriedly went out to make arrangements. All those who remain here now have to do is wait quietly and wait for the time to come.
At this moment, a person who came from Kaifeng walked into this small county seat, and his destination was Zhu Xuan's mansion in the west of the city. It's just that when he arrived there, what he saw was an empty courtyard and a seal posted by the government in front of the courtyard gate, which made this person's face change suddenly: "What's going on?" Why did Zhu Xuan have an accident? Immediately, he found that the people of the city, who should have been bleak, were now jubilant, and could not see the problem of food shortage, which made him feel that things were getting more and more strange.
didn't stay long, he hurriedly ran to Gong Chen's house again, and the situation there was exactly the same as Zhu Xuan's house, the same people went to the courtyard, and the same seal was pasted on the door.
Under the strong uneasiness, he could only hold a passer-by on the side, and only after stuffing the other party with a little scattered silver taels, did he ask the truth of the matter from his mouth. When he learned that the two families were locked up by the government, and the food stored in their homes was also distributed to the people, this person's face turned pale, and he secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.
After sending this person away, he didn't stay anymore, immediately turned around and left the county, and rushed to Kaifeng Mansion as fast as possible along the original road, he knew that with the two people who fell into the official mansion, I am afraid that some of the inside information that is extremely unfavorable to the prince will be revealed. The prince must plan ahead in order to deal with the impending crisis!
It was dusk when this person left Xingze County again, and after this busyness, the county government finally breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone went home.
Zhang Xiaoyi is naturally average, on the surface, he looks quite happy, and after he separated from his colleagues, his expression became extremely solemn, and his steps became faster, and he hurried to his house.
Soon, he returned to his home, and after pushing the door into the hall, he saw Yin Xiang'er sitting inside. However, he didn't have the slightest surprise, he just saluted him in a proper manner: "Holy Maiden ......" In fact, he is also a member of the White Lotus Sect, and Yin Xiang'er hid in his home early in the morning for his own safety.
Yin Xiang'er saw that he looked so eager, so she asked, "But is there any progress?" Then Zhu Xuan couldn't withstand the pressure of the other party, and recruited everything? ”
"The holy woman is really wise, they not only recruited, but also completely voted to the official side, and will testify against King Zhou." As he spoke, he explained in detail what had happened in the hall today.
Hearing these words, Yin Xiang'er's face became more and more difficult to look at: "This guy really has some skills, no wonder our Holy Church has been defeated by him at the beginning." Originally, I was just going to use my strength here, but he ruined the good thing again! The tone was full of unwillingness. If she had known that the guy who was traveling with her all the way was Lu Jin, the leader of the Jinyi Guard who had almost wiped out the Holy Sect in the first place, she should have found a chance to get rid of him.
"Also, there's one more thing. The two people we got rid of before are actually Jinyiwei's people, and that's why they came here to investigate the relevant cases. Zhang Xiaoyi said, glancing at Yin Xiang'er with some weakness.
Yin Xiang'er was stunned: "Are you saying that the two suspicious people you found at the beginning were actually Jinyiwei's spies?" After receiving the confirmation of the expression, she couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the cycle of cause and effect?" I got rid of these two obstructive guys that day because I was worried that things would change, and I thought I was in control of everything, but instead I brought a more difficult guy over. ”
"Holy Maiden, what shall we do now?" Zhang Xiaoyi asked with a confused expression.
"Naturally, you will continue to stay here, but as for me, it is time to go to Jiangnan. The layout there is almost there, and Lu Zhen will never go there again. Yin Xiang'er said her decision softly.
Obviously, the matter is far from over, and she still has a trick to spare......
