As soon as the morning dawned, the news came out, and the whole city was in an uproar.

This is the city of Beijing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a sensational attack on the assassin of the government has happened, is this still my Ming world? Is there still a royal decree in this world?

Soon, the news reached the palace, and the Son of Heaven was furious. Although the accident was only a small Daxing County Ya, this is still a provocation to the Ming Dynasty Chiguoguo, and its deeds are almost no different from rebellion! Immediately, the current orthodox emperor decreed that the Yamen must be strictly investigated and handled, no matter who is involved in this matter, it will be dealt with!

Then, not only the relevant yamen such as the Criminal Department, the Shuntian Mansion and the Terracotta Division moved, but even the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang began to search for suspicious people all over the city, vowing to arrest those bold fanatics.

Lu Jin, Lin Lie and several other related people were even summoned by the Criminal Department to inquire about the incident and the reason for it in person, and even the officials of the county government were called to interrogate them one by one, so as to be sure that there was no internal response of thieves.

However, Lu Zhen seemed very indifferent to this fierce reaction of the imperial court, because he could see that although their actions were very large, when they really touched the core of the problem, they often bypassed, obviously they were also worried that they were too involved and would cause big trouble.

However, among the people and the official group, this incident caused a lot of shock, and the latter group even went on hundreds of tricks one after another, directly stating the shortcomings of the capital, and asking the Son of Heaven to be strict with the law and discipline, and to take care of all those who committed adultery. Even because of this, the Wucheng Terracotta Division and other relevant officials suffered a lot of impeachment, and I thought that some adults would lose their officials because of this.

As for the folk, there are even more sayings. Many people spread the inside story of the so-called assassination after the dinner, and they all said it with noses and eyes, as if he was watching from the sidelines. For example, some people say how Lu Xian Ling fought bravely and fearlessly with the assassin for 300 rounds, and some explain the origin of the assassins, saying that they were spies of the Mongolian people in the north. Because Lu Xianling was an official in the north and defended the city and won battles, these Tartars would chase and kill...... And so on and so forth.

For Jiang Xiangzhou, the servant of the Criminal Department who is now sitting opposite Lu Jin, he would rather this matter because of the Tatars' fine work mixed into the capital to take revenge on Lu Jin, as spread among the people, than the statement he got from Lu Jin's mouth now, so that most of the responsibility on his shoulders can be pushed out.

Because what Lu Zhen said at this moment was that the murderer who assassinated him this time was actually a person from the army, a person from the Ming army!

When he heard this, Jiang Xiangzhou was stunned at first, and then shook his head: "Lu County ordered you not to talk nonsense if you have no evidence." "Indeed, Lu Zhen did not hold any of the assassins, so it is naturally difficult to make a startling conclusion casually.

But Lu Zhen was unmoved, just looked at the other party fixedly: "Does Master Jiang think that the lower officials are biting at will?" I don't have the courage to speak like that, and it's because there is some basis for this to make such an inference. ”

"On what basis?" Jiang Xiangzhou only felt a pain in his head, and knew that it was a trouble for this case to fall into his hands, but he didn't want it to be such a hot trouble, once the matter was linked to the army, it would be too difficult for him to find out. And now there are so many pairs of eyes staring at the case inside and outside the court, but how can they deal with it?

Lu Zhen didn't see the other party's annoyed look, but just said truthfully: "If you want to talk about the basis, it's really a lot." First, as far as my subordinates said, the actions of the three assassins when they assassinated were very tacit, and the martial arts they used were mostly fighting in the army. ”

Jiang Xiangzhou frowned: "Couldn't it be done by someone who has been in the army and came out again?" And it's just a one-sided statement, I'm afraid it's hard to be believed, right? In addition, if those three assassins are really as Lu County ordered you to say, then ...... How can your county government's subordinates keep you safe with one enemy and three enemies? ”

"My subordinates are also retired from the army, and they were even more brave and good at fighting on the battlefield before, so they are naturally enough to fight them. And at that time, it had alarmed the people left behind in the county government and the night patrol officers and soldiers outside, so they failed to succeed. Lu Zhen immediately explained: "As for the fact that the other party you are considering is only in the army, it is not impossible. But...... How do you explain the arrows?

"As far as Xia Guan knows, this kind of powerful arrow can only be taken out in the hands of the army or some generals related to the army in the capital now, and in addition, the bows and arrows used by the people of Shuntianfu or the Terracotta Division are also very different from them. Moreover, the power of arrows that can easily pierce the door of the house, and is still enough to kill people under the blockage of people, must also be issued by a strong bow. And this, there are not many things that can be taken out in the capital, and the army is one of them.

"In the end, the arrows left at the scene must have also seen it, although the marks on them were deliberately cut off, but as long as they are compared with the arrows used in our capital army, you can know their origin. I don't know if Master Jiang thinks Xiaguan's inference is still reasonable? ”

Jiang Xiangzhou didn't expect this Lu County Order to have such a careful deduction, and he didn't show the slightest intention of flinching in the face of himself, a Shangguan who was several levels older than him, and he didn't know how to respond for a while. After being stunned for a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Lu Xian Ling now doesn't look like a person who was assassinated, but like a person who investigated the case." ”

"The lower officials are just talking about things, if there is any rudeness, I hope the adults will bear with it." Lu Zhen hurriedly arched his hand.

"That's it, your mind can naturally be understood, but if this matter really involves the army, then it will be difficult to do." Jiang Xiangzhou didn't hide it, and said his concerns softly: "Wenwu has a different path, and now we haven't been able to get substantive evidence or human evidence, and there are not enough clues, can we still go to the three major camps to check one by one?" ”

Lu Zhen nodded understandingly: "Xiaguan understands." But since the matter has become a big problem, adults always have to make an appearance if they want to give an explanation to the above. ”

Jiang Shilang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lu Zhen again, as if he had thought of something. Then he asked again: "The official still wants to ask, what happened to Tang Qianchuan, who was killed by assassins in the county office?" Why is he there? Did the Assassins come for that? ”

"The lower officials don't dare to hide it from your lordship, this matter is indeed likely to be as you expected. The lower officials also invited him into the county government because they wanted to investigate the case about the death of Feng Changchun, the former owner of Juchun Building, sent by Li Langzhong of the Criminal Department, but he couldn't ask anything from him, so such a thing happened. ”

Hearing Lu Jin's words, Jiang Xiangzhou's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the several furrows on his forehead were as if they had been cut out by a knife. As the existence of the Criminal Department second only to Shangshu, he naturally knew about this somewhat strange case. However, after learning about the reaction from the Shuntian Mansion, he decided to turn a blind eye to it.

The life and death of an ordinary person involves some hidden forces, and even Shuntianfu has to follow his wishes, so why should he come out? It's just that I didn't expect that someone below actually ignored the trouble behind this case and sent it back to Daxing County, which made such a big move.

Now as long as he thinks that this matter was done by Li Gu, Lang Zhong, and he did this mostly to take revenge on Lu Jin's previous actions, Jiang Shilang only hated it. However, in front of Lu Jin, it was not easy to attack, so he could only say lightly: "In this way, this case is really impossible to investigate?" ”

"I think that's it, because even the last person who might know the inside story has been killed." Lu Zhen said this with regret on his face. But then he added: "But if the identities of those assassins can be found, then the case may have a turning point." ”

"Hmm, but since these two cases are related, then Lu County Order, you don't have to ask about this matter anymore, and leave it all to our Criminal Department." Jiang Xiangzhou said decisively, he didn't dare to leave this matter to Lu Jin to deal with, otherwise God knows how much trouble it would cause.

Lu Zhen didn't insist, and immediately nodded and agreed: "When the lower official goes back, he will sort out the file and send it back to the yamen of the Criminal Department." It's just that...... Li Langzhong's ......"

"As far as this self-owned official is concerned, he still has to listen to what I say." Jiang Xiangzhou immediately replied.

Lu Zhen nodded. Since the matter was more or less said, he did not want to linger here any longer, so he took his leave and left. And Jiang Shilang just replied with a salute, but the person did not move, still sitting in his position, and fell into deep thought. Obviously, this assassination case is also a difficult thing for him to do, and he must think about how to eliminate its influence as soon as possible and give an explanation to the imperial court.

When Lu Zhen came out of the yamen of the Criminal Department, he saw Lin Liezheng standing straight. He had obviously finished the interrogation earlier, but he had been waiting at the door, waiting to escort Lu Zhen back. Seeing this, Lu Jin's heart didn't feel warm, and a smile appeared on his face: "Tell you to wait." Also, thanks to you last night......"

"Your Excellency is serious, this is the responsibility of your subordinates." Lin Lie bowed his head and saluted. Then, his eyes swept around again, obviously on guard against someone who would be unfavorable to Lu Jin.

"Don't worry, they won't dare to do it again this time." Lu Zhen smiled after seeing his intentions.

Lin Lie answered, and then walked forward by Lu Jin's side. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "My lord, can you report the matter of Guangningbo to the Criminal Department?" Why didn't they react at all? ”

"Nope." Lu Zhen said softly: "And the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will have to return the previous case to the Criminal Department." ”

"Huh? This...... How so? ”

"This is officialdom, and sometimes interests are more important than the truth." Lu Zhen laughed: "So, we only have one or two days left!" ”
