Chapter 489: Transfer to Taishou Mansion
"Lord Lu!" Just as Lu Sheng was sighing about Li Xiaochen's death, the commander of the scout battalion, the horse gang, came to Lu Sheng, "Lord Lu, these are the families of the brothers in our army who have been identified without a doubt. β
Lu Sheng came back to his senses, looked at the red-eyed caravan in front of him, and his eyes swept slightly, and there were a group of scout battalion soldiers with red eyes.
At this moment, although they have heart-rending pain, they still maintain the discipline of soldiers and do not cry or make trouble, but look at Lu Sheng eagerly with a pair of eyes.
"I am a soldier of the three towns, abandoned my wife and children, stayed away from my parents and fellow villagers, joined the army, and defended China. Although Dayu has not fought for a hundred years, the brothers have not been able to make contributions. However, we have never wavered in our beliefs.
In this war in southern Xinjiang, after receiving the order from the imperial court, the scout battalion immediately began to train hard, and for three months, we ate and drank in the dense forests of Chuzhou. Hungry eat raw meat, thirsty drink dew, harassed by wild beasts, bitten by poisonous insects.
But now, the relatives of the soldiers have died tragically at the hands of the wicked? Lord Lu, what did the brothers do wrong?
You are the Qingtian of Chuzhou, even if we are in the military camp, we often hear your story, can you tell the brothers, has the murderer of our loved ones been caught?"
Lu Sheng hesitated slightly, he knew that once he told this group of people, the consequence would inevitably be that the three armies were shaken and the crowd was excited. But looking at the pair of red eyes in front of him, Lu Sheng couldn't say no.
And Lu Sheng knows very well that this matter can't be hidden at all. Rather than concealing the words that have left a bad impression on the three armed forces, it is better to tell the truth today.
"Caught!" Lu Sheng's words landed on the ground, and the horse gang could no longer support it. Raising his head, tears were still slowly falling down the corners of his eyes. Reaching out and wiping the corners of his eyes.
He took a few deep breaths and let out a long breath of turbidity, "Who is it?"
"Young Lord of White Horse City...... Li Xiaochen!"
"White Horse City, why is it White Horse City? We have no grievances with Li Xiaochen, why is he ......?"
In fact, Li Xiaochen still doesn't know that these people are the family members of the soldiers...... According to Li Xiaochen's confession, he wanted to experience the feeling of his ancestors Ma Talan Mountain, and he happened to see your relatives passing near White Horse City, so he sent someone to take them captive to the mountains and valleys.
Then he changed them into the clothes of the Huns, and led three hundred cavalry to charge back and forth three times, killing them all!"
Lu Sheng slowly told the truth of the case in a deep voice, and after listening to Lu Sheng's story, the Ma Bang couldn't hold back any longer, and his face turned pale instantly when he stumbled under his feet.
"They turned out to be ...... Such a damn ...... There is no hate...... There is no reason to ...... Just for ...... Satisfy the entertainment of a gentleman...... Two thousand dependents of our army...... To be beheaded for such a ridiculous reason?
He deserves to be damned...... He really deserves to die! Lord Lu, what about that executioner? Can there be a Fa-rectification on the spot?"
"Xuantian Mansion only has the power to correct the law on the spot when the prisoner resists arrest and resists. Li Xiaochen did not resist arrest, so we can't correct him either. However, the official will hand over all the evidence and his confession to the Taishou Mansion. β
"I also know the authority of Xuantian Mansion, and Lord Lu can be strict with himself when he encounters such a great evil that should be cut by a thousand cuts, and I admire it. The bodies of these relatives are temporarily left in Xuantian Mansion, and it is inconvenient for us to bring them back to the barracks. We're leaving!"
"General Ma, what are you going to do?" Lu Sheng hurriedly asked.
"When we go back, we will ask the marshal to make decisions for us. The brothers sacrificed their lives for the court, and they could not be exchanged for the destruction of their families. β
The soldiers left angrily, and the last mystery that haunted Lu Sheng's heart was solved. Striding out of the morgue, Lu Sheng returned to the interrogation room again.
At this moment, Feng Jian is asking Li Xiaochen to sign and draw on every confession. Seeing Lu Sheng coming back, Li Xiaochen's eyes looked behind Lu Sheng.
"Don't look for it, do you think Li Chengzhu can take you away from Xuantian Mansion?" Lu Sheng sneered, "Feng Jian, take him down to wash and wash up, and then change his clothes and hand him over to Taishou Mansion tomorrow." β
"Really?" Li Xiaochen's eyes suddenly burst out with a divine light of surprise, Li Xiaochen in the Xuantian Mansion didn't want to stay for a moment, this was a nightmare for him, no, it was hell.
"Take it down!" Under the escort of his subordinates, Li Xiaochen was taken out.
"We're going to hand it over, and the corresponding evidence is also going to be handed over?" Feng Jian asked a little unwillingly. Because he knew that once it was handed over, the rest of the matter would only be handled by the Taishou Mansion.
"Handover!"
"Yes!"
"Wait! You let Gai Ying reveal it to Wuyinmen, we have caught the murderer, the evidence is conclusive, Gong Xiaoxiao and Guo Qian were killed by Li Xiaochen in White Horse City.
And Xuantian Mansion decided to send Li Xiaochen and Yiying to the Taishou Mansion tomorrow to wait for the verdict. β
Lu Sheng's words immediately made Feng Jian's heart comprehend, and the essence in his eyes flashed, "Understood!"
"On the people's side, let's do the same. β
"Yes!"
"The murderer has caught-"
In the early morning of the next day, suddenly, a thunderstorm broke out in the streets and alleys of Anqing Mansion.
The fact that Lu Sheng made a military order in public has long been known to everyone in Chuzhou. It has even been changed into multiple versions by the storyteller, and the teahouse chess club has toured many times.
And the tragic death of the seven brides and the ferocity of the murderer have long become a hot topic of discussion among the people of Chuzhou.
Although the people are still living their own lives, their ears are always listening to the movements of Xuantian Mansion.
Lu Sheng has never disappointed the people of Chuzhou, but nearly 20 days have passed since this case, and it is only more than 10 days before the deadline for the military order.
Xuantian Mansion is anxious, the people are even more anxious, as the days go by, many people are already thinking about what if the case is not solved in Xuantian Mansion by the time limit?
If the case is really not solved, how will Lu Sheng give an explanation? Excuse himself and resign? Then without Lu Sheng in Chuzhou, will their lives return to the old days of guarding the sky?
Thinking of this terrible result, the people shook their heads violently, no, there will be no going back to such days. Chuzhou can't do without Lord Lu!
And just when the people of Chuzhou were also anxious, it suddenly broke out that the case was solved.
It's like dropping a drop of water into a pan of oil, and it explodes instantly.
"Is the case really solved?"
"Then can there be a fake? Have you forgotten that my son-in-law is a miscellaneous servant under the Xuantian Mansion?"
"Tell me, who is the murderer?"
"My son-in-law can't get in touch with who the murderer is, so I know that the case has really been solved, and the confession evidence has been all ......"
"That's wonderful! Poor seven good girls, who were ruined by the king's bastards...... He was also killed alive! Brother, you said that it should not be far from the murderer's vegetable market, right?"
"That's still early, isn't it still sentenced?"
"What's the verdict here? Isn't the Xuantian Mansion already conclusive?"
"But Xuantian Mansion doesn't have the power of life and death to sentence? Don't you know? I also heard that the murderer has some background, and early yesterday morning, didn't a large army come to Xuantian Mansion to ask for someone?"
"What some background, this background is big and boundless!" At this moment, another melon eater forked in.
"Do you know who asked for someone from Xuantian Mansion yesterday morning? The White Horse Army of White Horse City! Obediently, even the White Horse Army has been dispatched, and this person is a relative of the Lord of White Horse City. β
"Don't guess, isn't there a prisoner in Xuantian Mansion handed over to Taishou Mansion today?
"Yes, yes, yes, go together, go together!"
The sun gradually rose, and after two days in the dark interrogation room, Li Xiaochen, who had vain steps, stepped out of Xuantian Mansion and walked in the sun for the first time.
The feeling of sunshine...... Even though the April sun was already scorching, it still couldn't dispel the coldness in Li Xiaochen's heart.
The step out of Xuantian Mansion made Li Xiaochen feel that he had really gone from hell to the world. At that moment, he felt that he was back again, and he was the young city lord of White Horse City who stood above all living beings.
"Get in!" a loud shout pulled Li Xiaochen into reality. Li Xiaochen's eyes fell on the prisoner cart at the door. The gate of the prisoner cart was opened, and six Xuantian guards guarded the prisoner cart around it.
In front of and behind the prisoner car, there were three cars, one loaded Li Xiaochen's confession and some evidence that was convenient for handing over, and the other was Lu Sheng and Xuan Tianwei, who was escorting him.
"Yes...... Carriage?"
Li Xiaochen was humiliated in the interrogation room, and this humiliation was only seen by Xuantianfu. But if you take a prisoner's car to the Taishou Mansion, how many people will see you along the way? For the young lord of White Horse City, who is high above, this kind of humiliation is difficult to accept
"Are you worthy?"
Li Xiaochen still obediently shrank into the cage, the prisoner cart that could only make him squat, and couldn't even stand up straight.
I didn't feel humiliated in Xuantian Mansion, I didn't feel humiliated when I was tortured by Xuantianwei, and I didn't feel humiliated when I was being pointed at my nose and scolded. But at this moment, Li Xiaochen felt humiliated.
He can be cleaned up by Xuantian Mansion, because in Li Xiaochen's consciousness, Xuantian Mansion has this qualification.
But now, he is asked to be locked in a prison car to swagger through the market, and let those untouchables watch like monkeys, which makes Li Xiaochen's chest as uncomfortable as if he was blocked with a stone.
The prisoner cart drove slowly, running over the uneven bluestone road.
Li Xiaochen lowered his head, buried his head in his chest and fell silent. Even the bumps under his feet couldn't wake him up to look up. He hoped that he would be sent to the Taishou Mansion so quietly. Then his father took the title of White Horse City and exchanged him safely.
"This is the murderer, doesn't he look very young......"
Li Xiaochen didn't want to be ridiculed by those untouchables, but Lu Sheng took him through the most lively streets.
"Murderer, raise your head quickly, let's see how disgusting you look!"
"Did you do the case of raping and killing the bride?
"Raise your headβ"
There was a commotion from the people around him, and some even slapped the fence of the cage and spat on him.
"If you sit down at a young age, you will not even be a beast in the next life, let alone a person, and you will not even be a beast. β
An even more ugly voice came from his ears, making the anger in Li Xiaochen's chest seem to explode.
He raised his head violently, just to see who dared to humiliate himself like this. The moment he raised his head, a mouthful of thick phlegm was spurting out of the mouth of a fat black man with a long and stupid pig, and his face was thick and mushy.
Boom!
Li Xiaochen's mind instantly went blank.
