Chapter Seventy-Eight: Investigation and Collection of Evidence

Under the leadership of the housekeeper Lu Fei, the three of Zhaoyun successfully entered the main hall of the Lu family.

The white curtains in the hall were like curtains, but there was no solemnity of mourning, and the servants around them were only simple with white belts, not even a rough white robe.

The mourning hall is also placed in a remote courtyard, and if it weren't for the guests coming in and out, they would even think they were in the wrong place.

Zou Ji's brows were already furrowed, Zhaoyun could realize such an abnormality, and as an old man, he was naturally the same.

Lu Fei placed the three of them properly, and asked tentatively: "Lord Wen Peng, I don't know what is the matter with your arrival?" ”

After all, Zou Ji is the prime minister of Qi State, and it is not difficult to forge an identity. He claimed to be Gao Tang Yi Si Cheng Wen Peng, so Lu Fei called him Lord Wen Peng.

Zou Ji has been an official for a long time, and his words and deeds are quite elegant, and even the action of drinking water is not flawed, which makes Lu Fei convinced.

"What's the matter? Your master was punched to death on the street by the second son of the Lu family yesterday, why do you say I came? ”

"This matter has alarmed Gao Tangyi?" Lu Fei was shocked, you must know that this incident has only happened for a day!

Zou Ji said leisurely: "This official has been sitting in Tongzhen for the past few days, and he doesn't know much about this matter, so he came to inquire and want to give you justice." ”

"This ......"

For some reason, Lu Fei suddenly hesitated. Zhaoyun saw it thoroughly, and shouted: "My family wants to give you justice, you push back and don't want to say anything, but there is a ghost in your heart?" ”

Lu Fei was startled, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "The adult atonements, but the villain knows very little about this matter, and please ask the adults to ask my master's family!" ”

Zou Ji shouted angrily: "Lu Wu is dead, where did you come from?" But you have a secret relationship with the Lu family? ”

Naturally, they were not angry, but they just wanted to oppress this person in momentum. The two sang and harmonized, and Ziyang, who was silent, became a foil.

He's really not good at dealing with this situation, and he still thinks it's not good to deceive people.

Lu Fei complained bitterly, and suddenly at this moment, a woman walked into the hall, graceful and luxurious, full of wealth, and there was a charm between her eyebrows, like a poisonous snake that tempted people's hearts.

She slowly walked in front of Zou Ji and said, "The concubine is Lu Wu's wife, and she has seen Lord Wen Peng. ”

Zou Ji's pupils shrank, there were no tears on the woman's face, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were more like they had just been squeezed out.

Based on this alone, Zou Ji felt that this matter was anything but ordinary!

He got up and arched his hand, and said slowly: "It turned out to be Mrs. Lu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing." I came here today to correct my wife's name. ”

Lu Zhao thanked him, slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, and said with tears in his eyes: "My lord doesn't know, the concubine went to Si Kou to visit yesterday and wanted to seek justice. The concubine has no way out, and she washes her face with tears all day long, never thought that the adult came, and begged the adult to give the concubine justice! ”

After that, Lu Zhao also wiped the corners of his eyes, crying, and Lu Fei hurriedly handed a handkerchief to wipe it.

Zou Ji nodded, although he was sneering in his heart, he still said: "Please Madame recall carefully and tell me the cause and effect of the matter." ”

Lu Zhao nodded, as if he had been prepared, and said rhetorically. It is said that the second son of Lu asked Lu Wu for a piece of fertile land on the south bank of the Yellow River; Lu Wu did not allow it, so he held a grudge and led someone to punch Lu Wu to death on the street yesterday afternoon.

This is not much different from the version that Zhaoyun heard, because there were almost hundreds of witnesses to Lu Renjia's killing of Lu Wu, and even if Lu Zhao wanted to fake, it was almost impossible.

If it weren't for the collusion between officials and businessmen, Lu Renjia would almost have been sentenced to death.

But there are no absolutes, what if Lu Zhao's forgery motives?

Zou Ji's withered right hand knocked on the table, as if he was still suspicious of Lu Zhao's words, he didn't believe that a woman who had no feelings for her husband would cooperate with him like this.

Lu Zhao said a lot more, but almost all of them were nonsense, to win Zou Ji's sympathy. Zou Ji was a little impatient and took the opportunity to ask again: "Do Lu Wu and you have children?" ”

"No, it's something the whole town knows."

"Why is that?"

Lu Zhao blushed a little, but still replied, "He...... That's not good, so I haven't accepted a concubine so far, because it's useless. ”

I see......

Zou Ji seems to have a general idea.

Zou Ji continued to ask about some innocuous things, but kept making eye contact with Zhaoyun. The latter understood, and before he entered the door, he had told himself that he was looking for an opportunity to ask for a confession from his servant.

He inadvertently clutched his stomach, in great pain, almost curled up together: "Ouch! The official's stomach hurts very much, where is your toilet? ”

Lu Fei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, please come with me." ”

Zhao Yunlian waved his hand: "No need, you can call a little guy to take me there, and the adults will ask you later!" ”

Lu Fei was not suspicious, and called a young man to take Zhaoyun forward; Zhaoyun looked up, hey! Isn't this the kid who gave people incense and candles yesterday?

Judging by what he did yesterday, he should be loyal to Lu Wu, and it shouldn't be difficult to ask questions from him.

Out of the main hall, the little guy led Zhaoyun all the way, and suddenly, Zhaoyun asked, "How many years have you followed Lu Wu?" ”

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "Back to the adult, the villain has been with the old master for five years. ”

Zhaoyun said as if jokingly: "In that case, then you can be regarded as loyal!" ”

The little guy nodded: "The villain is loyal to the old master. ”

"In that case, let me ask you something, for the sake of your old master, can you answer me honestly?"

The little guy seemed to want to avenge Lu Wu too, and nodded firmly: "My lord, please ask, the villain must know everything!" ”

Zhaoyun nodded with satisfaction, took him to a secluded place, and asked, "Your lord and hostess...... How's the relationship? ”

"Back to the adult, although the lord and the hostess are kind in front of outsiders, there is no communication on the bed; And the hostess often secretly insults the old master for not being a man. ”

In this regard, Lu Zhao really didn't lie.

"You went out with Lu Wu that day?"

"It's the villain."

"In that case, did the second son of the Lu family say anything when he beat Lu Wu?"

The little guy pondered for a while, and only after a while did he say: "The adult reminded me in time, and the villain almost forgot!" Before the second son of Lu beat the old master, he seemed to have mentioned the hostess. Say...... The hostess is a natural stunner, and the old master does not deserve it. ”

Uh, so exciting?

Lu Wu, who is in his forties, Lu Zhao is also in his thirties, and the second son of Lu is just twenty...... Just give him green?

"You mistresses...... But often trysts with strange men? ”

Zhaoyun thought that he could get a strong answer, but the little guy shook his head: "The adult forgives the sin, the villain is the personal slave of the old master, and he really doesn't know about the hostess's private affairs." ”

"Then who knows?"

"Butler Lu Fei, he walks very close to the hostess on weekdays......"

……

Just looking at Lu Fei's dog-legged appearance, Zhaoyun knew that it was impossible to get something out of his mouth.

But he can almost confirm that Lu Zhao has a personal affair with an outsider, and this outsider is Lu Ergongzi!

Back in the main hall, Zou Ji was already ready to leave. Lu Zhao sent the three of them out of the door, showing a faint smile.

Walking to the wine shop, Zou Ji immediately asked Zhaoyun: "What can you find out?" ”

Zhaoyun nodded: "According to the Lu family, Lu Wu is really not good on that side, and the Lu Zhao family seems to have an affair with other men?" ”

“…… That man is Lu Ergongzi? ”

"It should be."

Ziyang suddenly spoke: "This is ridiculous! The second son of Lu is only twenty years old, and Mrs. Lu is already a noble lady in her thirties. The women of the good family that Lu Ergongzi usually harms are all young people, how can he fall in love with an old woman? ”

Zhaoyun didn't think it was strange, when Yiqu Jun and Mi Bazi were good, Mi Bazi was in his fifties; When Mao Dunshan humiliated Lu Pheasant in the letter, Lu Pheasant was also a half-old.

They are not attracted by their beauty, but only to conquer women in high positions and give them a sense of conquest.

What's more, Lu Renjia not only harmed the yellow flower girl, but also a young wife; Lu Zhao is not old, and Lu Wu's sense of conquest is green...... Maybe it's what Lu Renjia wants to experience.

Zou Ji didn't pay attention to the simple Ziyang, and said to Zhaoyun: "If the two are linked, it is not difficult to judge. Lu Wu has no queen, and the Lu Zhao clan can steal huge assets by killing people with a knife! This is deliberate murder! ”

Zhaoyun shook his head: "Without evidence, it is difficult to convince others. What's more, this is just an inference, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it wronged the good guys? ”

"Quite right......"

Ziyang was a little depressed when he saw that the two of them ignored him, shouldn't he question himself?

He just wanted to take back his master's property, why did he suddenly have so much trouble?
