"No, Wang Bao must not go to the state government!" In the Wang family's study, after listening to the news brought back by Wang Yang, and after some thought, Wang Shu quickly made a decision.

"Why is that?" Wang Yang said with some puzzlement: "I have asked Bao'er, and he said that he really did not kill anyone, although he had a dispute with Na Huang Si before, but it is not a crime, right?" ”

"Whether he is guilty or not is not up to you and me, once he enters the yamen, everything is all in Lu Jin's thoughts. We can't afford to take this risk. Wang Shu Zhengrong said: "Don't forget, there is still something that Lu Jinzheng can't do with us, if he has a grudge, what will he do in this case?" ”

Wang Yang was stunned suddenly, and then shook his head with some dissent: "This is not enough, does he dare to frame the people of my Wang family at will?" ”

"There are more unsightly methods in the yamen, have they done less to reverse black and white in the past?" Wang Shu smiled, but at that time, it was his Wang family who profited, but now, the situation may be completely different.

Only then did Wang Yang come to his senses, and he suddenly fell into deep thought. Of course, he doesn't want his only son to take unknown risks, but if he doesn't hand it over, how can he explain it to the state government?

Seeing his concerns, Wang Shu laughed unconsciously: "You, obviously affected too much, do you really think that our Wang family will be afraid of his little Zhizhou?" Even if there is a letter from the eldest brother here, he just asked us not to take the initiative to embarrass Lu Jin, but he didn't say anything to back down. Now in this matter, we can't back down, otherwise, even if nothing happens, where will our Wang family's face go? ”

Indeed, a small Zhizhou dared to let the Wang family send their sons and nephews suspected of committing crimes in person, so if something happens in the future, they must not continue to do so? This kind of culture must not be fostered.

After understanding this, Wang Yang finally came to his senses: "Then let's ignore him?" ”

"Yes, ignore him and act as if nothing happened. I forgive him, Lu Zhen didn't have the courage to really bring someone to my Wang family to get someone! It's just a few Diao Min's one-sided words, and he has no substantive evidence, does he dare to mess around? Wang Shu said, and glanced at his brother with some anxiety: "Bao'er, he is telling the truth, right?" ”

"True, he wouldn't dare lie to me about this."

"That's good." Wang Shu nodded, and his heart was settled.

But obviously, the Wang brothers still underestimated the development of this case. This is an extremely bad case, and it happened just before the Chinese New Year, which naturally puts great pressure on the people of the state government. You must know that every spring, when local officials are evaluated, how well you did in the previous year can be related to your future future. Among them, the detection of some major cases accounts for a considerable proportion of the assessment.

Therefore, in the next few days, the yamen spent a lot of manpower and thought on this murder case, not only asking for the confessions of Huang Si's neighbors, but also sending people to inquire carefully about some places he used to haunt.

And as the more clues were gathered, the people in the yamen felt that the case became more and more difficult. Because this Huang Si really has a bad temper, there are really a lot of people who offend him on weekdays, and some people even have clashed with him head-on. Even the day before the case, there were three or four fights with Huang Si, including Wang Bao.

So if you really want to talk about it, Huang Si really has a lot of enemies in the city, of course, judging from the clues obtained so far, none of them seem to have a deep hatred to the point of destroying the Huang family.

After reading these written reports, Lu Jin pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly: "Then have these guys been asked about it?" ”

"Most of them have asked, and they can all come up with evidence to prove that they could not have appeared in the west of the city to kill people at that time." Xu Wentao also said with a sad face.

"Hmm, what about the rest? Can't you find anyone? ”

"There is a group of Mongolian people, although they should not have left because of the recent heavy snowfall, but they have no fixed residence, and it is not easy to find them. As for the other suspected suspect, it is...... The king is overwhelmed. Xu Wentao whispered: "I don't know what adults think we should do next?" ”

Lu Zhen immediately understood, in fact, the meaning of the other party's words was that he still hoped that he would come forward to negotiate with the Wang family. After all, Xu Wentao, as a magistrate, is mainly responsible for this case, and if the truth of the case fails to find out in the end, he will be the first person to be punished. So even if you know that the Wang family is not easy to mess with, you can only contact it. Of course, it would be even better if Lu Jin, the boss, could be pulled in front of his head.

Glancing at his subordinate with a smile, Lu Zhen said, "It seems that you think this case is more likely to be done by Wang Bao and others?" ”

"Indeed, it is quite possible that it will be pushed by the adults. Because first, his Wang family has raised a lot of doormen in the rivers and lakes, and it is not difficult to ask these people to help kill people, as for the Mongolian side, although they are as fierce, but after all, they are not so bold under my Ming rule. In addition, the wounds on Huang Si's corpse were wounded by ordinary sharp objects, not the scimitars or sabers used by the Mongolian people. ”

"Well, there is some truth to that. Anything else? Lu Zhen nodded in agreement, and then asked again.

"Well, there was another discovery just now." Xu Wentao said, his expression was a little nervous, or excited.

"How?" Lu Zhen hurriedly asked, and he could see that perhaps the decisive evidence had been found by him.

"After the brothers in the yamen visited and inquired about everything, I finally found out this morning from a beggar who had stayed in the west of the city that night that he had seen Wang Bao bring people over there, and he had also entered the fur hat alley where Huang Si's house was." Xu Wentao finally gave the most critical clue.

When Lu Zhen heard this, his expression became really solemn: "Can you accept the words of the beggar?" ”

"He doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the people in our yamen, not to mention that he is still the son of the Wang family."

"Then how did he recognize the other party as Wang Bao?"

"The son of the Wang family has always been proud of his martial arts in the city, and he has kicked and injured this beggar because he is in a bad mood before, so he naturally remembers him deeply." Xu Wentao said, and added in his heart, "My lord, after you arrived, the talents of the Wang family have converged a lot, so you don't know how famous this prince of the Wang family is in the city."

Lu Zhen nodded clearly: "In this way, unless this beggar is bold enough to dare to frame Wang Bao with such a fatal thing, his suspicion is the greatest?" ”

"That's right. So what to do, please tell me. Xu Wentao once again pushed the decision over.

What else can be done? Since the clues have all gathered on Wang Bao, and judging from his previous style of acting, it is indeed possible to do such a careless and lifeless deed, of course Lu Zhen will not let him go.

After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Xu Tuiguan, you go and order hundreds of third-class officials, and let them go to the Wang family with you and me to ask for people." "Before, the Wang family didn't send people as he said, and Lu Zhen didn't have a strong reaction, but now, he can't help but take the initiative to take people. Moreover, now that I look backwards, it seems that this is a manifestation of the other party's weakness.

Fortunately, the recent wind and snow have been heavy enough to block the road. If the Wang family is allowed to take advantage of this time to send people to the capital, Lu Zhen really can't do anything about him.

And Xu Wentao hesitated for a moment, Lu Zhen actually named him and asked him to go to the Wang family with him to get people, which is really a bit difficult to do. But after a period of hesitation, he still gave up his fate, after all, this case has a lot to do with him, and it is indeed impossible to stay out of it.

Just when Xu Wentao was about to leave, Lu Zhen added another sentence behind his back: "In addition, I also sent someone to the military camp in the north of the city to inform him, and asked Mr. Wang Qian to send some people to take care of it." Obviously, he was worried that the state government alone would not be able to threaten the Wang family, so he started the idea of garrisoning.

Xu Wentao's heartbeat was a lot faster again, but he still quickly agreed, to be able to take such insurance, it seems that Lord Zhizhou is determined to attack the Wang family this time.

After Xu Wentao left, Lu Jin also walked out of his public house and returned to the backyard.

Chu Yunrong and Yun Yan, who were playing the piano and reading books in the room to entertain themselves, both looked over in surprise. Although the second hall is only a few steps away, Lu Zhen has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and has never come back during office hours.

Seeing the strange eyes of the second daughter, Lu Zhen just smiled: "Don't worry, it's not that your family Langjun and I are lazy when we come back, but we have to change our clothes." It turned out that even on the second hall's side, he was just wearing regular clothes, and he didn't wear the whole set of official clothes and hats.

But this time, since he was going to the king's house to get people, in order to show off his momentum, he naturally had to dress more solemnly.

Seeing Lu Jin, who had changed into a majestic official uniform, the two women were stunned again: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just going to get someone." Lu Zhen said, seeing the two women's more puzzled eyes, he had to add again: "Okay, I went to Wang's house to get the murder suspect Wang Bao." In order to put enough pressure on them, it is natural to dress neatly. ”

"You...... But be careful. Chu Yunrong originally wanted to persuade him not to take risks, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words.

Lu Zhen nodded: "Don't worry, I've arranged everything, and nothing can go wrong." Moreover, didn't I come here just for his royal family? After saying this, he strode out of the house, and walked through the snow to the front office.

At this time, the first two halls and more than a hundred yamen officers with different expressions gathered in front of them......
