Chapter 170: Stay for a few days
Lu Shengqing was used to being arrogant, and after hearing the news that Lu Ji was arrested, he suddenly jumped like thunder.
"Okay, you Lin Zhao......" Lu Heqing suddenly gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that this was Lin Zhao's direct challenge to the Lu family, **naked slap in the face.
The wound on Lu Heqing's hand has been bandaged, and his mood has completely calmed down, and he has regained his usual calm. After hearing such news, he was also a little shocked, but he was much calmer and seemed to have more experience. Just calmly asked, "What charge?" Is there any specific information? ”
"Uh......" Lu Shan said: "The errand officer of Qiantang County seems to mention that it is murder and arson......"
Murder and arson?
Lu Heqing suddenly chuckled in his heart, if this is the case, the situation will be troublesome. It seems that the hunch in my heart is not wrong, and I felt as if something was going to happen before, and it was right. If Lin Zhao doesn't come, it's enough, and if he comes, the person who comes is not good!
"Don't panic yet, now immediately send someone to the county government to inquire, and be sure to find out, what is the crime or what excuse?" Lu Heqing said: "Don't act rashly before that, and then think about it in the long run!" ”
"Good!" Lu Shan went in a hurry, and naturally he had to pay special attention to his brother's affairs.
Lu Heqing looked at Lu Shan's distant back, and a touch of weirdness appeared in his eyes, this guy didn't know what he was thinking?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lu Ji was escorted here, and he was anxious along the way, thinking about what happened before and after, wondering if something had gone wrong somewhere? When you think about it, it doesn't seem to ...... The only problem has been dealt with properly, and it stands to reason that it won't, so he is still confused and confused.
Qiantang County Ya, Lin Zhao was already sitting in the lobby, wearing a brand-new official uniform on his body, full of might. Because he was busy with other things during this time, he rarely appeared in public, so there were fewer opportunities to wear official uniforms, so now Lin Zhao is very novel and excited.
In particular, the wings on both sides of the official hat sway up and down as long as they move slightly, which looks a little funny. Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh, Zhao Da, Zhao Da, you are really creative, in order to prevent the ministers from talking to each other, you actually came up with such an idea. If this is placed in the future generations, maybe it will still be a high-end talent in the design industry? As soon as I thought about this, I suddenly sneezed...... Who cares so much about me? Or did you offend anyone? Lin Zhao was attentive and prepared for the first major case trial during his tenure.
Lu Ji was quickly brought up, without the common majesty of film and television dramas, and he did not eat a killing stick as soon as he came up.
For people like Lu Ji, just ask directly, as for those torture tools and tricks, they are not applicable. Ming people don't say secret words, I believe that Lu Ji will think so, and there is another point, in the end, it is Lu Huiqing's person, no matter what, he should save some face for Sinong Shaoqing, right?
"Lord Lu, we have a meeting!" Lin Zhao greeted Lu Ji with a smile, and when they met again after a short time, Lu Ji's identity had changed significantly. Now he is no longer the arrogant and arrogant Qiantang grain businessman, but a prisoner.
Although until now, he has not pleaded guilty, and he does not even know what his crime is? But Lin Zhao has already affirmed that this guy's crime can't escape.
"Xiaomin has seen Lin County Order!" Seeing Lin Zhao Yifu's confident expression, Lu Ji felt a very bad premonition for no reason, vaguely worried, a kind of fear, could it be that he caught something?
"Don't be polite, Lord Lu is not polite, I won't invite you to sit down on this occasion today!" Lin Zhao smiled and said something cool.
Seeing this, Lu Ji kept observing it quietly, and said, "Lin County Order doesn't have to be polite, but I don't know what happened when I came down?" I don't know what crime Xiaomin has committed? ”
Lu Ji was really puzzled about this, so he asked directly and straightforwardly, and there was no need to go around the bend with Lin Zhao. The main thing is to know what evidence Lin Zhao has, as long as he understands this, he will know it.
Lin Zhao smiled: "Does Dong Zhu Lu himself have anything to say about this?" There is a saying that resistance is strict, confession is lenient, if there is any fault, this will admit that you can fight for leniency! Thinking of these words that were often seen in film and television dramas in his previous life, Lin Zhao was talking nonsense. I don't want to say it and it's catchy, but I don't know how effective it is?
Test me? Let me turn myself in? Lu Ji has always maintained Henkel's vigilant surname, as soon as Lin Zhao said this, his heart began to move, what does this mean? Are you lying to me? Or is it just a temptation?
Thinking about it, Lin Zhao is not so boring, now there is so much movement, if there is no result in the end, how should it end?
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Ji's heart became more and more bottomless, and he vaguely felt that Lin Zhao must have mastered something, at least not without a purpose. But what is it? At this point, he has nothing to fear. As for the messy confession and leniency that Lin Zhao said, it was of no use to him at all?
Anyway, the result is the same, he definitely won't admit anything? Lu Ji was not afraid, he just wanted to know some of the situation, so he knew it and made corresponding countermeasures. Now it is no longer a problem for him alone, and the three Lu Huiqing brothers are also involved later, so he must have a special spirit.
"Lin County Order, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush like this, please see the door!"
"Don't you worry, Lord Lu?" Lin Zhao smiled lightly, he had been observing Lu Ji's eyes, expressions, and even some body language. From the very beginning, he talked about these messy things with Lu Ji, either without purpose, or to interfere with his concentration, make it difficult for him to concentrate, and distract him.
Now it seems that it has had some effect, and it can be seen that Lu Ji is already a little anxious, which is a good start.
Sure enough, Lu Ji said unhappily: "Lin County Order, don't joke, there are still important things in the lower trading house, and you can't delay it for too long." ”
"It seems that Lu Dongzhu is very busy! Lin Zhao still had that expression, which made Lu Ji have a headache, and at the same time began to be a little annoyed.
Lu Ji said: "Lin County's order to tie up the county government is not for recreation, right?" This move has greatly damaged Zaixia's reputation, and I also ask Lin County Ling to give a special explanation......"
"Confession is naturally necessary, and it makes sense to tie you up!" Lin Zhao's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted: "Lu Ji, someone accused you of buying a murderer to scuttle their ship, destroying their property, and killing twenty-eight shipwrights at the same time, what do you say about this?" ”
Lu Ji chuckled in his heart, and his heart almost fell into the ice cellar. How so? Could it be that he really found any evidence? Or is it just suspicion?
"Lin County Ling said that he was laughing, right? I don't know what the hell you're talking about? Under the unknown so? How can it have anything to do with it for no reason? Of course, Lu Ji couldn't admit it, and after a little muttering, he retorted cautiously.
"Don't remember?" Lin Zhao smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "On the third day of the first month of October, near the Jiangnan River in Suzhou, a ship of Jiangning Meng's Grain Store sank, and thousands of orders of grain fell into the water on board, and twenty-eight shipwrights were killed.
The Suzhou Prefecture Government has been tracking for a long time and found that this incident is related to Lu Dongzhu...... Well? What do you say? ”
"I seem to have heard of the shipwreck, but what does it have to do with it, and what evidence does it have to do with it? Why should I do this? Lu Ji didn't give up, and asked: "Please also ask Lin County to come up with evidence, don't just wish Xiaomin!" ”
"As for the motive, it couldn't be more obvious!" Lin Zhao smiled coldly and said, "These are the evidence that you are hoarding Juqi with the intention of driving up the price of grain, the relevant testimony, and the correspondence with you, which are very clear, can you admit this?" ”
"So what?" Lu Ji said: "I admit that I was obsessed with money for a while, and tried in vain to wait for the grain to rise slightly before selling. However, this is a means of doing business, and it does not seem to be an exaggeration, and it is not surprising that there are more businessmen in Qiantang County who do this. , if the Lin County Order must be pursued something, he is willing to admit punishment. It's just that it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the shipwreck......"
This guy is completely evasive, admitting hoarding, but the others flatly deny it...... There is a way that the law does not hold the public accountable, especially now that the grain problem in Hangzhou has just stabilized, rashly taking action against the grain merchants is likely to cause confusion in the heart. This is a situation that Lin Zhao absolutely does not want to see.
Lu Ji also seemed to have thought of this, thinking that he had grasped Lin Zhao's weakness, so he admitted it openly and openly, and if you were born partially, you would be helpless in Lin County!
Lin Zhao sighed, and smiled lightly: "Lu Dongzhu is worthy of being an excellent businessman, with a big family and a big business, this eloquence and thinking are agile, unusual!" ”
"Lin County has won the prize!"
"Alright, we're going around the bend with you!" Lin Zhao's words changed, picked up a document from the case, and said: "This is the last words of Master Meng, the shipwright of the Meng family, and it is also evidence...... I forgot to tell you that he was the only survivor of that ship, and then he gave evidence in front of many people that it was Qianjiang Sanjiao who scuttled the ship! ”
Lu Ji sighed in his heart and mentioned Qianjiang Sanjiao, which was already very closely related to him. has also approached his last line of defense, the last line of safety, and is naturally extremely nervous.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could Lin Zhao's luck be so good, with the ability of Qianjiang Sanjiao, how could he leave a living person? It was really surprising that this old man was able to escape from Ascension...... I didn't expect Lin Zhao to be able to find out about Qianjiang Sanjiao so quickly, but fortunately, they are all dead, and the evidence is broken here, what can you do?
"Oh? This old shipwright is really blessed and admirable! Lu Ji's heart has become more and more impetuous, but he controls it well, and said in a deep voice: "I just don't know, who is Qianjiang Sanjiao?" Unheard of! ”
"Really?" Lin Zhao smiled: "I don't know, ten days ago, there was a fire in Qinghe Lane in the south of the city, as well as a murder, did Lu Dongzhu hear about it?" ”
How so? It seemed that Lin Zhao knew everything clearly, and Lu Ji suddenly became a little nervous. It was said that it was something that his absolute henchmen did, and this must have been relieved, and there was no handle left at that time. What does Lin Zhao mean by this?
Lu Ji always felt that Lin Zhao didn't seem to have no purpose, as if he knew something? A worry comes to mind? At that time, the boss and the old man of the Qian family did not see the corpse with their own eyes, could it be that they survived by luck?
No, it won't, it won't! Lu Ji kept suggesting to himself in his heart, and he was a little more panicked in his heart. Even in the cold winter, the temples began to sweat slightly. On the surface, he didn't seem to be afraid, but it was based on the fact that things were foolproof and had no handle.
Who is not afraid of death? Luji is no exception. Now the foolproof situation seems to be being broken, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for itself. Once something is debunked, the consequences are unimaginable...... Lu Jiqiang calmed down, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Lin County Ling, I am busy with business in the next store, and I haven't heard of these things." I don't know what the prefectural magistrate wants to say to me so much? Please also ask the prefectural magistrate to be a celebrity! ”
"Say what?" Lin Zhao pretended to forget, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that the messenger of the county government rushed to put out the fire, and it was found that an injured person was not dead, so he put him out of the fire. Now that he has woken up, he is one of the three Jiao of Qianjiang. ”
What the? There is really someone in the Qian family alive, Lu Ji was suddenly shocked in his heart, and this time his heart completely fell into the ice cellar. How so? He asked himself over and over again in his mind. It's not that his henchmen have already made it clear, he can be sure that all three brothers of the Qian family are dead, why is there a living one now?
Lu Ji's heart became more and more messy, and he began to lose his square inch, forced himself to stabilize his mind, and asked, "Oh? And then what? ”
"And then!" Lin Zhao suddenly sank his face and said, "Then he said that he was instructed by you to scuttle the Meng family's ship, does Dong Lu have anything to say about this?" ”
"Oh?" Lu Ji said disapprerovingly: "A bunch of nonsense, what does it have to do with me, I have never known any Qianjiang Sanjiao, how can I have a command to say, and please Lin County Ling Mingcha, don't wronged a good person." ”
"Really?" Lin Zhao smiled, then slapped his big hand, and Su An brought someone from behind. The man was still covered with a white cloth, and the blood stains were faintly visible, and the extra wounds on his body looked very terrible, and his body was very weak. However, a pair of eyes were very determined, and when he had already walked into the lobby, he looked at Lu Ji viciously, his eyes were full of hatred, and he could almost kill people directly.
Lu Ji originally thought that Lin Zhao was just deceiving him, and he didn't think that the Qian brothers still had a living person. But I didn't expect it to really appear now, and the evidence was suddenly very unfavorable to me. Lu Ji was in a mess for a while, uneasy, and sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Zhao said coldly: "I'm sorry, Master Lu, I have to ask you to stay for a few days!" ”
