Luo Zhengyi took a sip of the tea cup on the coffee table, shook his head and said, "Sir, this tea is from the Yamen, right?" ”

The welfare of officials in the Tang Dynasty was very high, and in addition to the Yulu, the officials would also regularly and irregularly distribute various kinds of goods, including various kinds of tea. Of course, the distribution of tea is divided into levels, and the higher the level, the better the tea, and low-level officials are just ordinary tea.

Lu Jinping said: "As long as the tea can be drunk, I don't care about whether it's good or bad." And I don't really like tea, so I don't really care. ”

In fact, Lu Jinping said this a little against his will, it's not that he doesn't like to drink tea, before the crossing, he drank tea, but modern tea is different from that of the Tang Dynasty. The tea of the Tang Dynasty had to add various condiments, and the cooking method was also different, so the taste in the mouth was completely different from the modern one, as if boiling some medicinal soup, which was very strange and could even be said to be difficult to swallow.

Luo Zhengyi smiled and said to Xiong Zhutou on the side: "You go to my signing room and bring the newly opened box of tea from my case." ”

The bear catcher hurriedly agreed, and ran out like a fly. After a while, he held a beautifully decorated tea box in his hand and sent it to Luo Justice. Luo Zhifa opened it and sniffed it, nodded, and sent it to Lu Jinping and said, "You can taste this tea, it's not bad." ”

Lu Jinping took the tea box and looked at it, because the tea in the Tang Dynasty was basically brick tea, which needed to be broken down and twisted with a mill to make tea, so it could be seen at a glance that it was newly opened, and it had not been used yet, a complete whole brick tea. After smelling it, the color and fragrance are obviously much better than my own tea.

He put the tea leaves on the coffee table, smiled and said to Luo Justice: "Etiquette must be asked for by others." Luo Zheng gave me such a precious tea, there must be something to order, right? ”

"I don't dare to take orders, but I do have something to ask you. The lord can see it at a glance, it's really amazing. Luo Zheng said with a smile.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Luo Zheng glanced at the bear catcher next to him. There was more respectful smile on Xiong Zhutou's face, and there was even a little trepidation.

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "Seeing you two sneaky and spitting, I'm afraid it's a tricky thing, anyway, as long as I can help, there's nothing I can't agree to." ”

This is also true, although there is Feng Tingshi's annotation and asks him to assist Luo Judicial Investigation of the case, but that is only to help, his duty is still the medicinal material warehouse manager, so in the final analysis, he is just helping Luo Judicial and Xiong Hunting. This is very clear to the two of them, so Luo Juyi is so polite, and he is sending tea and saying good things.

Hearing what Lu Jinping said, Luo Judicial seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "That's the case, there is a very difficult case, it has not been solved for a while, and it has been very tight recently, and we are under a lot of pressure, so, last time the case was solved beautifully, I pondered with Xiong Zhutou, if this case has the help of the lord, then there should still be hope to be solved, but I don't know if the lord is willing to help?" ”

Lu Jinping said: "Why be so polite? Feng Tingshi said that I will assist you in investigating the case, so just say what the case is! ”

Luo Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly got up and bowed and said, "Then thank you first, sir." That's the case, there is a general's ancestral grave in our same state that has been dug up, this general is not small, even the assassin has to pay tribute to him, his case has not been solved, the general urges every day, so Feng Tingshi and I have a headache. ”

"What general is so powerful?"

"This general's surname is Li, and he is the Yunlu general of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. You must know that the Beiya Forbidden Army was developed by the personal guards around Emperor Taizu when he raised troops in Taiyuan, because of his noble status, this position is almost passed down from generation to generation, and General Li, who has been passed down to the present, is already the fourth generation. The ancestral home of this General Li is Yunshan Village, our Tongzhou capital, where there is his ancestral grave. A few days ago, General Li's grandmother's grave was robbed, and not only the burial goods were swept away, but even the bones of the grandmother were gone. This made General Li very angry, and he went to the Yamen several times to meet Feng Jianshi and coerce him to solve the case. However, after many investigations in this case, many people were arrested and confessed indiscriminately, but they were never able to recover the stolen funeral items, let alone the bones of General Li's grandmother. General Li was unusually angry, and not only went directly to the Yamen to coerce him to solve the case, but also supervised the case several times through Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. We tried our best and didn't have a clue. This case is very tricky, and the last time there was a murder case at Zhou Yuanwai's family, I hurried back in a hurry, and I also urged General Li to solve the case. This General Li will send people to the Yamen of Tongzhou every once in a while to make a big fuss and scold us to the point of blood. ”

"It's useless to scold again, if you can't find clues in the case, you can't find it. Some cases are headless cases, and there is no clue at all, and there is no way for the gods to do this kind of case. ”

Luo Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, yes, but, that's what he said, but when it comes to the bones of General Li's grandmother, he won't let it go." If we can't solve this case, I'm afraid he will tear down our yamen. Feng Jianshi had a big head every time he saw him, but there was no way. ”

Lu Jinping said: "You have arrested so many people, and you have exhausted all your means and have not solved this case, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do." ”

When Luo Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed, and he didn't speak for a long time with his mouth open.

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "However, since Luo Judicial has come to the door and begged me, if I don't participate, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it." Besides, Feng Tingshi's instant approval asked me to assist you in investigating the case, but I'm afraid it's mainly for this case, right? Since he had such a headache, he was of course the happiest to have someone who had the hope of solving the case to participate, even if this person was just a storekeeper. It is better to have hope than no hope. ”

Luo Zheng smiled dryly and said: "I can't hide anything from the lord's eyes, indeed." I talked about the case of the murder of Zhou Yuanwai's son-in-law, and the lord solved it very well. Before I mentioned this case, Feng Tingshi took the initiative to invite you to participate in the investigation of the theft of General Li's ancestral tomb. Being able to crack this case is a major event in his heart, of course, this is just a good start, as long as the lord solves this case, he will naturally be appreciated by Feng Tingshi, and the lord will have a great future in the future. ”

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to put a high hat on me, you still have to work together to solve the case as soon as possible." I firmly believe that no matter who committed the case, he will leave more or less clues, and it depends on whether we can catch these things, find out the murderer behind the scenes. Therefore, I need you to give me as much relevant information as possible, and you should first talk about the situation of this case. ”

Luo Judicial hurriedly said: "I know this case very well, it is like this, about a month ago, the village of General Li's hometown is also surnamed Li, and he personally went to the Yamen to report the case, saying that the ancestral grave of General Li's family was dug a big hole, we didn't know at the time, because this General Li is not publicized, and we don't know where his ancestral grave is, but the locals are proud of it and are the pride of the village, so after their ancestral grave was dug up, someone immediately found out and immediately came to report the case. Only then did we learn that the ancestral tomb of General Yunlu next to the emperor was in our same state. After I hurriedly reported to Feng Tingshi, I hurriedly led people to the ancestral grave of General Li in Yunshan Village. Sure enough, I saw a big hole in the grave, and there were many scattered footprints on the ground......"

Lu Jinping's heart moved: "There are footprints? ”

"Yes, because it had just rained the first day, Li Xiangzheng said that he had sent someone to go in to check, and all the burial goods in the coffin had been stolen, and the bones of General Li's grandmother were gone, and only an empty coffin was inside. We began to investigate, and we arrested and tortured anyone who had a grudge against the Li family, as well as petty thieves, and who had robbed tombs before. It is true that many people confessed, but it was obvious that they were tortured but confessed indiscriminately, because they could not tell where the burial goods and bones of the tombs were, and they could not find them in the places where they confessed. ”

"So are these people released?"

"How dare you put it? General Li threatens every day, if these people are released, then General Li will not have to demolish our yamen? We also know that they must have been wronged, but now the case can't be solved, and there is no way to do it, so we can only lock them up first. ”
