The news that Lu Jinji pushed all the charges to Lu Zhaolin is known all over the city. This confirmed the rumors that Lu and Zhou Zhijie had an affair, and Lu Zhaolin was the evil seed of collusion between the two.

Adultery also gave birth to evil and immoral, even the rich gentry and powerful could not afford the consequences of this crime, and people were hung with broken shoes every day outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, and even people wrote unsightly insulting words on the wall of the mansion with lacquer. Pity the Lu family, a delicate woman, who lost the support of her husband and son, and supported a large Lu Mansion alone. Soon, the Lu clansmen came to the door to expel this shameless little slut from the Lu family.

Don't look at the Lu clan as a woman, but when it comes to dealing with these Lu clan people who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, they are not merciful, and after reprimanding them for chasing after the wind and shadows and insulting themselves, they ordered the family to beat all the people out. And Zhou Zhijie's fate is even worse than the Lu family, he still has a few powerful brothers in the Zhou family, and now he has caused such a scandal, and those brothers are ganged up to drive him out of the position of the head of the family.

But the most unlucky, the most innocent is still Lu Zhaolin, originally he was still proud, everything was covered by his father for him, shielding from the wind and rain, seeing that his charges were about to be cleared up, and he would be able to go home in a few days, but who knew the shape shì but it took a sharp turn. The court officials began to interrogate from the beginning again, from the demolition of the Zhang family's old house to the arson case, and let him truthfully invite him, otherwise there will be great suffering.

Lu Zhaolin scolded inexplicably in fright, accusing the official of framing him. The hall official sneered a few times, and said disdainfully: "If you plant one, how rampant is it?" Lu Jinji will no longer take the blame for you, the bitter fruit of his own brewing, if he is still a responsible man, he will admit it if he dares to do anything, don't hide behind all day long like an eggless girl and twitter......"

"What? Extremely? What do you say? ”

The hall official repeated in a mean language again, where was Lu Zhaolin willing to believe, hysterically made a fuss in the lobby, and finally ended up being beaten and dragged back to the cell with 20 boards. I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental by the relevant officials of Taiyuan Mansion, this night the Lu father and son were locked up in two adjacent cells.

The jailers waited to see the father and son's jokes, but the result turned out to be what their master wanted. Lu Jinji's expression was the opposite of his previous behavior of pushing the crime on Lu Zhaolin, he called Lu Zhaolin to his side through the iron railing, looking at Lu Zhaolin's bloody ass in distress, his eyes were full of his father's love and pity.

"Does it still hurt? Don't mess with the government in the hall, you see how much you have suffered......"

Lu Zhaolin had tears in his eyes, and he didn't care about the wound on his buttocks, and questioned his "father"

"The old cousin said that the father put all the charges on the child, is it true or false?"

His eyes were full of suspicion, but Lu Jinji smiled and said: "How is it possible, tiger poison does not eat children, how can you believe such untenable rumors?" ”

got a negative answer, and Lu Zhaolin's eyes showed a happy smile.

"I know that it was the old man who scolded me, and the child naturally can't fall for his evil!"

Who knew that Lu Jinji asked Lu Zhaolin to lean over, and he reached out and rubbed it back and forth on Lu Zhaolin's head and shoulder, as if he was still a teenager under the palm of his hands.

"It is said that the chicks have always nested under the wings of their parents, and their wings will never grow hard......"

The brainless words made Lu Zhaolin puzzle in his heart, but he raised his tone again, and his tone turned solemn: "Lu Zhaolin, from now on you will be a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, you have to support your own heaven and earth alone, and no one can shelter you, do you know?" ”

The voice turned out to be sharp in the end, Lu Zhaolin was shocked, what did his father mean by this? What is the meaning that no one is sheltering him?

"What does the father mean by this, the child is stupid......"

Lu Jinji replied lightly: "The Lu family should have this calamity, it's not early, let's rest!" ”

After that, he no longer paid attention to Lu Zhaolin's question, and lay straight on the couch, and snored loudly after a while.

Waiting to see the lively people, they never expected to see the scene of Lu Jinji licking the calf, but this scene is full of sourness and irony, and the local jailer in Taiyuan felt that Master Lu was high in the past, calling for wind and rain, and then looking at his current field, he couldn't help but sigh!

Early the next morning, Lu Jinji was brought to the court as usual, but this time he took the initiative to report a past murder case.

His son Lu Zhaolin once raped and killed the cook in the house Honggu in the summer of the tenth year of Chongzhen. This case was handled in a very low-key manner, and except for the then prefect of Taiyuan, only a few officials of Taiyuan Prefecture knew about it. And it is handled as a "non-official notice".

What is a private notice? The father kills the son, and the master kills the slave and maid, this kind of behavior is called a non-public lawsuit, and the government will not accept it in the Ming Dynasty. The point of Lu Jinji's report is that this "non-public accusation" is not established. Because, the cook girl named Honggu was not a slave who sold herself, but a hired worker who took the moon silver of the Lu Mansion.

The reason why no one pursued this matter back then, and the bitter master's family was also silent, was not because the Lu family made money. The court official who tried the case was fortunate to have survived the robbery in Taiyuan, and he also had some impressions of this case, so he went back to look through the old Taiyuan Mansion, and really let him find this case of "non-public prosecution".

However, this case file is impeccable, with many confessions from various families, as well as signatures and drawings, as well as the closing comments of the then prefect.

The hall official sneered: "You yourself still say that tiger poison does not eat children, how can you turn your face and do such a frame-up, this case is reasonable, it is clear that you maliciously slandered!" ”

When Lu Jinji heard him say this, he knew that his conversation with the son of evil last night had spread all over the city today, but he didn't care, anyway, he was ruined, and what else was there to fear.

"What a foolish official, if the parents of the state and county of the world are like you in trying the case, I don't know how many good and innocent people will be unjustly killed!"

"You! , bold, above the court, don't be untrustworthy! ”

"Lip-pervasive?" Lu Jinji sneered three times, pointed to the official's nose and said: "I'll show you a clear way, Honggu's hometown was not destroyed because someone was secretly hindered back then, you can find out the truth when you go and find out!" ”

When the hall official heard this, he immediately turned red, and his chest was ashamed, he really didn't think about it, Lu Jinji said that he was not too confused. He personally went to check the hometown of the red aunt and the origin of her parents and brothers, and sure enough, she was the daughter of a good farmer.

From this point of view, the case of "non-public prosecution" was also an unjust case, Honggu died unjustly, but the murderer is still at large. The reader's innate sense of justice and mission suddenly occupied all the thinking of the court officials. He felt that it was God's arrangement to let himself encounter this old case, so he categorically could not let the real murderer go unpunished This time, he did not listen to and believe it, and personally visited the family of the cook Honggu, who knew that the village where he was located had long been destroyed in the war, and only after several rounds did he find out that Honggu's parents and brothers had died under the double scourge of plague and thieves, and only one cousin was still alive, and now he was a small leader in the mine.

However, the boundary of this mine is not something that he can set foot in by an official of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the mines and factories near Taiyuan Prefecture are "special zones" jointly set up by the General Military Government and Taiyuan Prefecture, and there is no special permit, and no one, including officials, is allowed to enter, and if you want to investigate this matter, you must obtain the support of the General Military Office. To put it bluntly, he wanted to get a pass to enter the mining area, and there was no other way except to alarm Li Xin. Thinking of this, the cousin's heart was cold, the general had every opportunity, could he pay attention to his inconsequential case?

Li Xin sneezed, he rubbed his pantothenic nose, and smiled at Tian Fuzhen, who was sitting on the side of the desk: "I don't know which one is talking about Ben Shuai behind his back!" ”

In order to speed up efficiency, Li Xin took out the method he had when he was in Gaoyang, and the General Military Office and Taiyuan Mansion were co-located. It seemed to them that the dust had settled on Lu Jinji's case, the strike was over, order had been restored, and as for the fate of the goods, it was only necessary to deal with them impartially, and no matter how severe the sentence was, it was impossible for a person with such a bad reputation and morals to pose a threat to them.

Master Guo's poisonous plan is really poisonous, but it is a special medicine with immediate results, and even scholars like Tian Fuzhen are happy to praise it.

"Has the general figured out how to dispose of the property of the three families of King Lu Zhou?"

Tian Fuzhen didn't raise his head, but asked an irrelevant word.

"Who said that Ben Shuai also confiscated their property? Even Tian Fuzun believes in such rumors in the market? If this is the case, why would Li Xin bother with such a big Zhou Zhang, wouldn't it be better to take it down directly? ”

Tian Fuzhen changed the topic again.

"Has the general heard about Lu Jinji's poisonous eating of tigers?"

Li Xin naturally heard about it, but he didn't plan to interfere, he was also optimistic about the dog-biting dog-like matter, but Lu Jinji's eldest son and only son, who had raised him all his life, ended up becoming a bad seed, and this matter was too sad, and everyone who heard it sighed.

Tian Fuzhen put the pen on the shelf, looked up and said, "However, Tian has a different opinion......

Suddenly, Master Guo came with a roar, and when Li Xin saw this, he knew that something was wrong with him, otherwise he would have been pacing slowly with square steps.

"What's the hurry, like a fire in the house? You are also a character, when will you develop a temperament that is not panicked? ”

Master Guo smiled, "The villain is so virtuous, he can't hide things in his heart, there is a ** general who can see it, and people's lives are a big deal!" ”

"Who? Is life at stake? ”

"This person Tian Fuzun also knows, the official of Taiyuan Mansion, Song Xianli!"

Tian Fuzhen said curiously: "Isn't this person interrogating Lu Jinji's father and son?" How can human lives be at stake? ”

Master Guo let out a long sigh: "It's a long story, but the villain is a long story and a short story......"

After Li Xin heard this, he took the case and sneered three times, "What a Lu Jinji, one word can kill people, and one word can live people!" ”
