Chapter 290: Emergencies
Lu Sizhen noticed Mi Yan, and immediately ordered someone to transfer his basic information, and at first glance, he really felt suspicious, if this person's condition was not to have his eldest son Huizhong to help operate in it, according to the minimum conditions set by the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, he would not even be able to enter the gate of the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, let alone the selection of the official jury of the Shun Lì Tong Guò Official.
It must have been this guy who bewitched Huizhong to go to Ying Zhen's jury, this was originally a trap dug for Li Xin, and his son was also involved, so it would be difficult to get out of the future if something went wrong. The top priority now is how to remove Huizhong from the jury list.
Ke Xingshì did not give Lu Sizhen time to deal with the affairs of the family, and soon entered the city quickly, and the vicious case in the coal mine actually caused a commotion, and the officials sent to the coal mine to investigate by the Yamen were trapped inside, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Now that the Three Guards had dispatched their soldiers to restore order, there was no reason for him to remain in the city.
Under the anxiety, he had no choice but to scold his son who had not returned home until now, so he hurriedly left the mansion and went out of Taiyuan City and went straight to the coal mine.
However, Lu Sizhen didn't do nothing, and before leaving the city, he ordered his henchmen to send someone to secretly investigate Mi Yanqi to see what the purpose of this person approaching Lu Huizhong was.
Three days later, the preparations for the pre-trial were all completed, and the selection of the three groups of officials for the jury was also completed, but Lu Jiu had something new to report to Li Xin.
Li Xin listened to Lu Jiu's eloquent narration, and a smile gradually spread on his face.
"You, you, when did you become such gossip!"
"Gossip?"
Lu Jiu didn't understand what gossip meant, and was stunned for a moment when he heard Brother Thirteen say this, and Li Xin immediately realized that he had spoken the language of his previous life again, so he diverted the topic.
"So, that Miyan is just an infatuated seed with good luck? Well, with this thousand taels of silver, it should be available for him to study and take the exam without worry. β
Li Xin suddenly thought of the current situation again, it is now the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and there are only three or five years left before the Jiashen Heavenly Change, and at that time, no fame and fortune can be regarded as the bloody storm. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xin had the ambition to change history and change the ruthless course of the wheel.
However, every time he tried, although he was able to save a few people, none of the events that should have happened in history seemed to have been successfully prevented, and even had a tendency to worsen. Just like the resurgence of thieves, just like the Yellow River digging embankments, and even Liu Guineng, who has never been in history at all, to occupy the entire Shanxi, they all came out unstoppably.
This makes Li Xin's confidence in changing the wheel of history not as firm as before, but he will not give up his efforts, even if the grasshopper shakes the tree in exchange for a more violent wave, he must persevere, face the internal and external resistance of the Ming Court, and reverse the almost impossible to change the ending.
"Thirteen brothers, thirteen brothers?"
Lu Jiu's repeated calls pulled Li Xin out of his trance, and he saw a rare smile on Lu Jiu's face.
"Brother Thirteen, but did you say that I care about the affairs of the man and woman? Who isn't curious about such things? Let's just say that Lu Sizhen's eldest son, yesterday he pulled Mi Yan and Zeng Cheng to go on a wild trip outside the city, what happened to you when you stepped on it, thirteenth brother? β
"What?"
Li Xin patiently cooperated with Lu Jiu.
"Zeng Cheng brought his sister with him, and it was Miyan's good look. Guess what, Lu Huizhong fell in love with Zeng Cheng's sister! β
"And such a thing?"
Li Xin's tone suddenly increased, and Lu Jiu pointed at Li Xin and smiled: "I also said that the thirteenth brother is not the same gossip!" β
Li Xin was free, Lu Jiu's comprehension ability was really not low, and he mastered the use of the word gossip so quickly, but he did not refute Lu Jiu's statement.
"Then Lu Huizhong doesn't know that the girl of the Zeng family has made a private agreement with her brother Mi Yan for life?"
"I don't know! According to Lu Jiu's observation, Lu Huizhong was a frank person. β
Li Xin frowned and said: "This matter is really screwed...... and then laughed again: "What do you have to do with us, how Zhang Shi's future is here, the jury will enter the venue today and be officially isolated from the outside world!" β
With Li Xin's explanation, Lu Jiuyi nodded his head and said that he understood.
"The gendarmerie battalion serves as a trial site, and safety is a top priority. In addition, there is another thing, all the gendarmes guarding the scene are selected from the old brothers in the cavalry battalion, and there cannot be a local! β
Although Li Xin didn't say it in the open, Lu Jiu also understood that among the so-called old brothers, they were selected from the brothers who had been born and died when they were horse thieves.
"Also, the jury trial is the key to this trial, and they must not have any contact with any outside person. Moreover, all their eating, drinking, and lazing were solved by the gendarmerie, which is easy to say, but in reality it is not simple, and if there is a little mistake, you have to start from scratch. β
Lu Jiu nodded, "Brother Thirteen, don't worry, I'll hand it over to Lu Jiu!" β
"Those young people don't have to be monitored!"
Judging from Lu Jiu's investigation, it is indeed not very suspicious, although there are many coincidences, but there should be no behind-the-scenes mastermind manipulation.
Lu Jiu patted his head as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Oops, I almost forgot. Lu Sizhen also sent someone to monitor Na Miyan, and this matter did not seem to be as simple as it seemed. β
Li Xin thought about it for a while and smiled, "It's not that complicated, Lu Huizhong went to select the official recruitment jury, he must have gone behind Lu Sizhen's back, and he wanted to investigate Mi Yan because Mi Yan was also selected for the official recruitment jury with the help of Lu Huizhong." If Lu Sizhen didn't secretly investigate Mi Yan, it would be strange! β
Lu Jiu was just about to leave, but Li Xin stopped him again.
"I heard you're still holding that adulterer?"
Lu Jiu smiled awkwardly, after all, the thirteenth brother knew about this matter, so he didn't deny it. Li Xin's face was solemn, "Although Hu Ergou is an adulterer, he has not been arrested, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he can't cure his crimes, and in the case of Zhang Shi, he is a bitter master, and your detention of him must have a bad impact on the Three Guards, so let him go today!" β
"Thirteen Brothers......
Lu Jiu still wanted to defend a few words, but Li Xin waved his hand, indicating that he had no need to discuss the matter.
"Lu Jiu, Lu Jiu, you can't just for the sake of momentary pleasure, you don't care about the overall situation, do you think I have completely given up on Zhang Shi's case? What I am worried about is not only to seek justice for him, but also to do it in the right name, so that everyone in the world can't find a little fault! The former couldn't be easier, but how hard the latter is, can you imagine? β
Li Xin became more and more bitter, "It is not easy for the Three Guards to get to where they are today, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us inside and outside the court, and I don't know how many people are waiting for us to make mistakes in the dark in the current case of Zhang Shi." So, let's be cautious, and be cautious. β
Lu Jiu was stunned, he had never heard Li Xin talk so long-winded, and it was really strange that today it was like pouring bitter water, so he nodded heavily, saying that he would not drag the retreat of the Three Guards.
"From today onwards, you should not contact anyone involved in the case, and you must avoid suspicion, do you know?"
Lu Jiu nodded frequently.
β¦β¦
Out of the General Soldier's Mansion, Lu Jiu felt that his back was completely soaked with sweat, no matter how bitter Li Xin was, he finally didn't tell the matter between him and Hu Ergou. As a matter of fact, he did not have the slightest confidence in Li Xin's method of presiding jury.
The presiding judge Zhang Fangyan is a notoriously stubborn donkey, eight cows can't be pulled back, Zhang Shi killed the adulteress in bed without catching the adulterer, it is a sure thing, it is said that the sky is broken, and the law of the Ming Dynasty can be changed, so the old guy must support the verdict that Zhang Shi is guilty of murder.
As for the so-called jury, they have nothing to do with Zhang Shi and the Three Guards, and they are all characters selected by Lu Sizhen, how can they speak to Zhang Shi? So, just in case, he decided to use his own methods to help Zhang Shi get rid of his crimes.
In Lu Jiu's thoughts, doing this by himself and hiding it from the thirteenth brother is not necessarily a bad thing, if the thirteenth brother's method of jury can really save Zhang Shi, it is naturally good. But it can't be saved, Hu Ergou's guy has become the key to saving Zhang Shi.
Lu Jiu returned to the gendarmerie camp with a heavy heart, at that time, the gendarmes had already emptied the entire barracks, and the official juries of the Yamen of the Inspectorate were also in place one by one, looking at a group of guys who spoke well, which made him feel upset for a while, and quickly asked people to lock the temporarily reinforced door, out of sight, until the case was concluded, these people had to be locked in like prisoners and not in contact with the outside world.
Now the tricky problem is that Li Xin has given a death order and asked him to release Hu Ergou immediately. However, he was worried that if he let Hu Ergou go and let someone with a heart contact him, if this guy turned against the water, wouldn't he fall short?
No, you have to think of the best of both worlds?
While he was thinking about it, a gendarme suddenly came to report.
"A nameless corpse found in the city!"
Lu Jiuzheng couldn't think of a way to deal with Li Xinling's release of Hu Ergou, and said impatiently: "When did our gendarmerie battalion take charge of the homicide case?" Leave it to the judge! β
After speaking, Lu Jiu found that the gendarme was still standing in place and had no intention of leaving, and he was even more impatient, and was about to scold, but he heard the gendarme say:
"This murder case can't be controlled by the judge, and the deceased has the seal of the thief!"
Anti-thief? Lu Jiu suddenly hit a spirit, how could the thieves infiltrate Taiyuan City?
"Show me!"
The gendarme asked Li Xin to hand over the things found from the deceased's body, which turned out to be a copper seal. Lu Jiu's literacy is limited, and the seven twists and eight crookedly carved on it are Yin seal characters, and he can't recognize the content on it.
"What's engraved on this?"
The gendarme replied: "I have already found the battalion secretary office to identify it, and it is indeed a letter against Liu Guoneng!" β
During the sensitive period, there was a sensitive event, Lu Jiucai didn't believe it was a coincidence, and his heart immediately tightened.
"Go and contact the commander of the infantry battalion, and ask him to send troops to assist the gendarmerie battalion, and the whole city will be supplied!"
Lu Jiu didn't care about Hu Ergou, turned around and went straight to the mansion of the general soldier, he still couldn't handle this kind of big thing, and he had to tell Brother SΓΉ Thirteen as soon as possible.
