Chapter 261: Woe to the Wall (Part II)
The fact that a piece of the waist card of the Imperial Judgment Hall appeared in the Punishment Division, and at the foot of the body of the newly killed Inspector, was enough to make many people have some thoughts in their hearts.
But that's not all, just when Huang Qinru wanted to say that there was a fraud in it, another fan had already pointed to the cuffs of He Huizhou's corpse and said, "Here, there is a blood word!" β
Huang Qinru turned his head to look when he heard this, only to see that He Huizhou's body had been moved, so that his sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing the white lining inside. And on this white lining, there is a red and scribbled handwriting at this moment, and if you look closely, it is a "Lu" word!
"This ......" Huang Qinru frowned when he saw this, and he had vaguely guessed something. But at this time, Wu Miao had already spoken: "Adults, the clues are all in front of us, and it is already clear who Lord He was victimized by." It was Lu Jin, the general judge of the prefect's yamen, who sent someone to assassinate him, so he left the waist card of the general judgment hall here, and Lord He also knew this before he died, so he secretly wrote this Lu character in his sleeve, in order to point out the culprit who killed him! β
After saying a righteous and strict word, the faces of the officials outside suddenly changed greatly. This thing is really too sensational, a court official actually killed another high-ranking official, which has never happened in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.
"Grandpa Wu, is there any misunderstanding in this?" In the silence, an old voice with a slight hesitation suddenly sounded: "How could Lu Tong sentence him to do such a thing?" β
Everyone followed the sound, but found that it was Hua Qianfeng, the prefect of Hangzhou, who was talking with a pale face. Wu Miao just glanced at him, and said leisurely: "Governor Huafu should not be deceived by the superficial behavior of some people, this Lu Zhen was not a peaceful master when he was in the capital, who knows what kind of thoughts he has behind him." β
Glancing at it with Wu Miao's cold gaze, Hua Qianfeng couldn't help but shudder. However, Lu Jin really helped him a lot in the yamen, and he was a rare subordinate, he really didn't want this young man to suffer such a catastrophe, so he continued to defend him: "There may be some truth in what my father-in-law said, but Lu Jin, he is not in Hangzhou now, how can he do such a thing?" β
"Our family didn't say that he killed the person with his own hands. Moreover, this is where he is cunning, he asked for orders to leave Hangzhou early, and then ordered his subordinates to infiltrate the Criminal Division to assassinate Lord He, so that he would not be suspected at all. Fortunately, Skynet was restored and not leaked, and these two pieces of criminal evidence were still left, can this physical evidence still be fake? Wu Miao immediately retorted.
His words were indeed sharp, and people couldn't find a better way to deal with them. Hua Qianfeng snorted for a long time, opened his mouth and said: "But ......" But before he could say anything, Wu Miao had already stared at him coldly: "Hua Zhifu, you keep speaking for Lu Jin, what is your intention?" Could it be that this case is also related to you? β
"My father-in-law misunderstood, and the lower officials don't have the courage to do such a thing." Hua Qianfeng hurriedly waved his hand and retreated, and the words he wanted to defend Lu Zhen were completely swallowed back by him.
As for the other people on the side, although they saw that there was something else wrong with this matter, they really didn't know how to speak in front of Wu Miao's aggressive momentum and these two so-called pieces of evidence. Even Huang Qinru only glanced at Wu Miao thoughtfully, and finally didn't speak.
"Hmph, the so-called Wenchen is nothing more than that. One by one, they only thought about self-preservation, and once they found that the momentum was not right, they immediately gave up their colleagues! Wu Miao counted everyone with disdain in his heart, but his face was serious: "Now that there is such a murder case, our family thinks that Lu Zhen must be arrested first, what do you think?" β
Everyone was silent for a while, and the initiative was unconsciously taken away by a eunuch, which made them very unconvinced. But this case is strange, and the other party has Dongchang Fanzi by his side, so it's really hard to object. Seeing this, Wu Miao just sneered: "Since you don't object, you agree." Come on, a few of you will go out of the city and bring Lu Zhen into the city for our family to torture carefully! β
"Wait!" Seeing that he was giving orders to send someone to arrest Lu Jin, Huang Qinru finally couldn't bear it: "Now that the truth of the case has not been ascertained, how can you take people at will?" What's more, Lu Tong's sentence to go out of the city this time is to protect the people of Hangzhou, and this official will never let you behave like this! β
After all, Huang Qinru is the person with the highest authority on the ground in Zhejiang, especially after He Huizhou, the envoy of the procuratorate, was killed, and even the people in the Criminal Department were afraid that they would have to obey his dispatch, so as soon as he opened his mouth, many people also nodded in agreement, and some even opened their mouths: "Yes, at this time, it is too manipulative to think that this is what Lu Tong has done?" β
Seeing this, Wu Miao's heart was full of resentment, why didn't those guys kill Huang Qinru as well? But let him get in the way. And if you really want to get up, you really can't suppress this Zhejiang political envoy!
Just when Wu Miao was a little upset and didn't know what to do, suddenly the night sky in the west was illuminated by a red light, which attracted the attention of many people present. After being stunned for a moment, someone exclaimed, "That's ...... Where the granary is! Is there a fire there? β
In one sentence, everyone woke up, and their faces showed anxious and panicked. Hangzhou has been in turmoil recently, why did such a fork go wrong?
"Quick! Let's go put out the fire first! Huang Qinru's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately took advantage of this change and ordered: "Lu Jin's matter, it's not too late to deal with it after he comes back!" After speaking, without waiting for Wu Miao to object, he had already walked out first. The other officials also agreed, and left quickly, but Wu Miao and several Dongchang fans were left on the spot.
This time, Wu Miao was so angry that her nose was crooked. The other party clearly doesn't take himself seriously. However, as long as Huang Qinru really objected, his order to guard the eunuch would really not have much effect, and even the people he sent couldn't even get out of Hangzhou City.
"These wastes, how can they leave me a Huang Qinru, if he is also killed, won't I have the final say on everything?" was annoyed, but Wu Miao could only obediently follow to see if there was any other opportunity to take back the control of the matter.
When Huang Qinru and others hurriedly led people to the location of the granary located in the west of the city, the fire there had already been extinguished by the officers and soldiers and the surrounding people. Only wisps of black smoke were still rising, and a general whose face was blackened by the smoke and fire kept sending people into the fire to check if there was still a dark fire.
Seeing Huang Qinru and a large group of officials hurrying over, he hurriedly sent a subordinate to do something, and then greeted him: "Zhao Jie has seen all the adults!" β
"Zhao Qian doesn't have to be polite. What about the losses here? Huang Qinru recognized that this person was a thousand presidents under Song Jianfei, so he was not polite and asked directly.
"Fortunately, someone found it in time, and we extinguished the fire not long after. Just burned a few warehouses for storing hay and other materials, and the loss of grain was not large. Zhao Jie hurriedly replied.
Huang Qinru breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again: "Then how did it catch fire?" Is it artificial, or is it something else? β
"Someone must have set him on fire, and when he brought someone to him, he saw a man sneaking away and wanted to slip away, so he ordered someone to take him down. And they're still watching over there. Zhao Jie said, and pointed to the corner with his hand.
"How can this be true? Dare to set fire to the granary of my official mansion, what is this person's intentions! Huang Qinru's face sank, and he immediately ordered: "Bring him to this official to talk back!" β
Zhao Jie didn't dare to disobey the order, so he immediately beckoned and ordered the two soldiers over there to bring over a man who was tied up. This person lowered his head, looked listless, grinding, and was pushed, almost falling into the mud. It wasn't until they pushed the person in front of Huang Qinru that the two soldiers pressed him his shoulders and pushed him directly to the ground: "Who are you, why did you set the fire, and you didn't recruit him from the truth!" β
The man's body trembled, and he couldn't help but raise his head and said, "Go down...... The lower officials are wronged! β
He raised his head, but Hua Qianfeng's face on the side changed rapidly, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "You...... Money experience, how did you end up here? β
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned. This prisoner who was caught by officers and soldiers on the spot at the arson scene was actually an experienced officer of the government office? This is too unbelievable, isn't it?
Even Huang Qinru was also in a trance. What's going on today? Just now, the general sentence of a government official was suspected of killing the envoy, and now another official of the government has been accused of setting fire to the granary, is it the turn of the prefect Hua Qianfeng to do something more serious?
Wu Miao's gaze fell on Qian Manjiang for a moment, and suddenly a thought flashed in his heart, and he stepped forward and said, "Bold Qian Manjiang, our family asks you, who instructed you to set this fire?" Is it the general judgment of your government Lu Jin? β
As soon as he said this, Huang Qinru's face suddenly changed, and Hua Qianfeng was even more abrupt, and subconsciously took a step back. It's really a ruthless method, and he directly deducted such a big charge on Lu Jin's head.
And Qian Manjiang was still a little confused, just defended himself: "Xia Guan was working in the yamen today, and somehow fainted, and when he woke up again, he found that he was here, and he was about to leave, and these generals rushed up, I really don't know anything......
"Someone who was caught on the spot still dared to quibble, someone came, he was arrested, and the truth must be asked!" Wu Miao knew that this was the best chance to convict Lu Jin, and immediately ordered.
Because he knows that this Qian Manjiang is not only an experienced official of the prefect's yamen, but also has a deep relationship with Lu Jin, as long as he is convicted, it will be difficult for Lu Zhen to turn over!
And Huang Qinru and the others didn't know how to speak at this moment, they only felt that the sky above their heads was so dark......
