With the relationship between Lu Zhen and Lin Lie, he is naturally extremely familiar with his handwriting. Although Lin Lie has been away from his side in the past few years, every month or two, there will be an exchange of letters between the two sides, and the friendship has deepened. In Lu Jin's mind, as long as someone imitated Lin Lie's handwriting to write this letter, no matter how similar the imitation was, he would definitely be able to see the flaws with his own eyesight, but the result surprised him.

The handwriting on this letter is exactly the same as the handwriting and habits of Lin Lie that he is familiar with, the clumsy but powerful strokes, and even the mistakes hidden in some words are written on the paper without falling to the ground, which makes people wonder if this letter is indeed from Lin Lie's own handwriting.

Seeing that Lu Zhen quickly frowned after reading the letter, and didn't say anything for a long time, this made Liu Daorong feel proud for a while, and couldn't help but speak: "Wei Chengbo, is there anything wrong with this letter?" ”

"This ......" Lu Zhen raised his head, although he was reluctant, he still replied: "At least there is no problem with it now, it should be Lin Lie's handwriting." As he spoke, his gaze fell back again, trying to find any flaws, but in vain after all.

"My lord, in addition to this letter, in fact, Xia Guan also has some other physical evidence." Seeing this, Su Mudao also hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot.

"Oh? Is there any evidence? But what is it? Lu Jin's heart tightened again, and he asked casually.

Su Mudao laughed, and immediately clapped his hands twice: "Take the things in and let the adults look at them." ”

Immediately there was a sound of answer outside the hall, and then four or five servants entered, one of them carrying an iron birdcage in each hand, and the other two holding a wooden box each.

Seeing that Lu Jin's gaze fell on the caged bird first, Su Mudao explained with a smile: "Adults, don't underestimate this pair of eagles, this is called Hai Dongqing, it is the best among eagles, whether it is hunting or fighting birds, it is a bird of prey with few rivals." Generally speaking, the value of this pair of Haidongqing is no less than thousands of taels of silver. ”

Lu Zhen smiled reluctantly and didn't answer the other party's words. Because he knew very well that this pair of Hai Dongqing was actually Lin Lie's preparation for his own New Year's gift. Because in the past two years, the magnates in the capital began to hunt, and the accompanying falcons became the biggest help in the hunting process, so he mentioned it to Lin Lie. didn't want to, he actually found two Haidongqing for himself, but now it has become evidence of his collusion with the Jurchens.

Su Mudao obviously didn't understand Lu Jin's thoughts, and continued to let people open the two wooden boxes, only to see that there were two thumb-thick pearls in each box, which emitted a soft glow in the light: "These four are the top-grade Dongzhu, and they are also an important tribute for the Jurchens to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty every year, and their value is not lower than those two Haidongqing." With Lin Zongbing's money, it is impossible to afford these treasures no matter what, and the only possibility is that the Jurchens bribed him. As for the purpose, it's to be able to enter my Jizhou City! ”

Lu Jin's face sank again when he heard this. In fact, these Dongzhu were also prepared by Lin Lie for himself, as for their value. Indeed, in the Ming Dynasty, these things are worth more than 10,000 gold, and they are indeed far from being affordable by a general soldier. However, these were not really worth much when they were put in front of the Jurchens, but it was just a matter of finding and capturing the finest eagles in the mountains, and venturing into the deep sea to find the finest pearls hidden in their shells.

With Lin Lie's current identity, as long as he speaks, those Jurchens will naturally do their best for their own safety. Unexpectedly, this was also used as evidence to identify him for colluding with the Jurchen tribe.

But what made Lu Zhen feel a headache was that he couldn't talk about this matter yet, explaining that these things were all prepared for him, otherwise he would set himself on fire, not to mention Lin Lie's innocence, maybe he would even have to get into it. Knowing this, his face became more and more ugly, his eyes were only fixed on Su Mudao's face, and he said coldly: "Su Governor's Mansion is really quite caring. ”

"My lord praised it falsely, the lower officials are just thinking about the safety of my Jizhou City, and they don't dare to slack off." Su Mudao replied with a smile as if he couldn't hear the other party's hidden sarcasm.

Lu Jin's heart was on fire, but he couldn't attack, so he could only endure his anger. Seeing this, Liu Daorong struck the iron and said while it was hot: "Wei Chengbo, now that the evidence and witnesses are complete, then General Lin's crime should be decided, right?" "It means that Lu Zhen will finalize the charges now.

Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, although the evidence of the crime is conclusive at present, but after all, Lin Lie's status is not low, and it is related to the morale of the Jizhou army, so you can't convict him without even asking him a few words, right?" ”

"What does Wei Chengbo mean?"

"The official has to meet him first, and then make a decision." Lu Zhen said, he had already stood up, and the only thing he could do now was to delay a little longer and see if he could find clues to exonerate Lin Lie from elsewhere. Also, I'm afraid that I can't see the problem with this key letter, but from Lin Lie's own point of view, maybe I can see some clues. So seeing him in person is an imperative way.

"My lord considered that he should indeed ask the prisoner face to face to see what he could say. The lower official will let people bring him here......" Su Mudao naturally didn't dare to oppose Lu Jin's decision, so he immediately responded. As he spoke, he wanted his men to go and pick up people.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Lu Jin: "There is no need to be so troublesome, the official can go to the prison to see him, so as not to make any mistakes on the way." ”

"This ...... It's okay, it's just that you're disrespectful to adults. ”

"It's okay, the prison of the Criminal Department, and the edict of my Jinyi Guard have also been in, are you still afraid of this government cell?" Lu Zhen glanced at the other party as if he had a point, which made Su Mudao's heart unconsciously shudder, and he could only hang his head, not daring to look at him.

So, under the guidance of Su Mudao, several officials with different intentions came to the relatively well-guarded and slightly gloomy prison located on the edge of the mansion, and entered the door of the innermost cell.

Because it was an open-air cell, the light here was not bad, and Lu Zhen saw Lin Lie who was shackled to the wall at a glance and seemed to be difficult to move. At this time, although he didn't have many wounds on his body, his whole person's spirit was extremely low, his hair was scattered, his head was buried deep in his knees, and he didn't look like a dead man without any vitality.

Even if these people suddenly came to the cell at this time, he didn't react at all, as if he was unconscious. Until the cell leader who led the way knocked twice on the fence and shouted: "Lin Lie! He slowly raised his head, but his gaze was dull and dazed, barely focused, looking at everyone in nothingness, but seeing nothing.

It wasn't until his gaze finally fell on Lu Zhen that his body trembled slightly, and his chapped mouth also muttered: "Big ...... Adult ......"

Seeing that the previous subordinate who was silent but had a calm temperament became like this, Lu Jin's heart was also shocked. He really couldn't believe that in just over a month, Lin Lie had become like this, looking like a walking corpse. This made his anger towards Liu Daorong and them increase by a few points: "Governor Su, what's going on?" The tone was already quite unkind.

"Lord Lu, the lower officials have not abused Mr. Lin. He only became like this because of self-blame. In addition, he was taken to the execution ground before, so he was greatly stimulated......" Su Mudao hurriedly explained.

And Liu Daorong looked at Lu Jin, and said with a smile: "Wei Chengbo, aren't the people in Jinyi Wei Prison like this?" Now that he has committed a crime and is in prison, this person will always be a little different from before, and you can't blame me for it. ”

"Hmph......" Lu Zhen glared at the dead eunuch angrily, and then said, "Okay, this matter will be left for later." I want to talk to Lin Lie alone, so you guys should go out first. ”

"I'm afraid that's not right, right?" Liu Daorong immediately objected: "Although he is already in shackles, he is a key criminal in the court after all, not to mention ......"

"What's more? Do you think that this official will conspire with him? Are you suspicious that I, the imperial court, will collude with the Jurchens as the commander of the Jinyi Guard? Lu Zhen suddenly stepped forward, stared at Liu Daorong and asked.

The momentum at this moment was really amazing, and Liu Daorong was so frightened that he retreated, his face became a little pale, and he said repeatedly: "Don't dare, our family doesn't mean this." Even if he did, he didn't dare to say it in front of Lu Jin, after all, the identity of the other party was much higher than his own, and he was still Qincha.

As for Su Mudao, he didn't dare to question it, so after a little hesitation, he said: "Since Lord Lu wants to interrogate the prisoner alone, the lower officials will leave when they wait." As he spoke, he also pulled Liu Daorong's sleeve, pulled him, and retreated with several other subordinates.

It wasn't until he retreated into the distance that Liu Daorong's face recovered slightly, but his eyes still flashed with a strange light. Suddenly, while staring at Lu Jin, who had already approached the cell and was talking something, he whispered: "Master Su, I'm afraid this matter is more difficult to deal with than we thought." ”

"yes." Su Mudao replied with deep sympathy: "After all, he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and he also has the identity of the Qincha, no matter how much we arrange, as long as he completely ignores it and forcibly wants to exonerate that Lin Lie, we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with it." ”

If it was a reasonable court official, they might still have a way to deal with it, but now they are facing the big boss of Jinyiwei, and if he is unreasonable, they will not be able to deal with it. After all, if you drop ten times with one force, if you put it in the officialdom, it will be called crushing people to death at the level of the official.

But how is this good? The two people who are good at using conspiracy have fallen into a difficult problem at this time, which may be the biggest flaw in this calculation......
