Chapter 349: The Curtain Falls

Master Guo was surprised: "How did this matter involve Lu Jinji again?" ā€

Tian Fuzhen seemed thoughtful, and Li Xin asked Master Guo rhetorically: "Lu Jinji reported this case, what if you are Song Xianli?" Be honest with your first thoughts! ā€

Hearing Li Xin's question, Master Guo thought for a while and said with some surprise: "The villain will not investigate, and he will be convicted directly according to the existing evidence, anyway, whether their surname is Lu or not, there is no good thing." ā€

"That's right, not only do you think so, but Lu Jinji also thinks so, but he did everything he could, but he didn't expect Song Xianli to be a more serious person!"

Master Guo was full of suspicions, "Is there still a hidden secret in the case?" Could it be that Lukingi falsely accused that evil seed? ā€

Tian Fuzhen, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "Lu Jinji may not be a false accusation, what I didn't expect is that Song Xianli is a good official who sincerely serves the people, although he is a little stupid, but he is a rare good person!" ā€

Master Guo was still a little confused, "It's true that Song Xianli is a good official, but what impact does it have on the development of things?" No, it's a waste of time, and if you check the charges of that evil seed in a circle, it's a futile move, and if you prove your innocence, wouldn't it be self-defeating? ā€

Tian Fuzhen smiled, ""Taiyuan Afternoon News" published Nanlei's article, there was a saying, 'If you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes' No matter who he listened to, it is in one sentence, there are fewer and fewer officials who adhere to Song Xianli so firmly and abide by their duties! If this Ming Dynasty is all officials like Master Guo, the world doesn't know how many good people will be unjustly killed and how many sinners will be indulged! ā€

In the end, the tone changed from joking to strict, Master Guo was uncomfortable, waved his hand and said: "The general asked the villain to say it directly, and the villain said it directly, this bird official really can't do it according to Guo, this rule and that rule can give people a suffocating bird!" ā€

Tian Fuzhen said with a smile: "Don't go and pass that Song Xianli yet, the general has limited time, and after this time, there will be no effort!" ā€

Only then did Master Guo remember the purpose of this, slapped his head, and trotted out again.

"Wind and fire, so energetic, so energetic!"

Looking at Master Guo's back, Tian Fuzhen couldn't help but praise.

In fact, with the understanding of Lu Jinji, even if he doesn't see Song Xianli, he can give him a special pass, but after all, he was attracted by this person, Li Xin and Tian Fuzhen still decided to meet him in person, if he is really a usable talent, it is obviously a pity for him to only be a court official in Taiyuan Mansion.

Song Xianli's style of acting was consistent with the style of what he did, and he was suddenly flattered by the reception of Li Xin and Tian Fuzhen, two high-ranking officials in the city, and was sincerely frightened, and even stammered in excitement for a while.

After he explained his views on the case and his determination to investigate it thoroughly, Li Xin asked him to go on the defensive, with the strong backing of the General Military Mansion and the Taiyuan Mansion, what case could not be solved?

The news that Lu Jinji bit his son made the people in Taiyuan City sigh, the father and son in the past, but today they are endless, why bother? The saddest of them is the Lu family, who is barely supporting. When he learned that his husband was driving his son to the end of the world, she was so angry that she wanted to rush to the prison immediately to question Lujinji why he was so ruthless.

In the end, Lu still bought the jailer into the prison, questioned him why he was so ruthless, and then tearfully begged him not to be so decisive.

"Master, don't be like this, Zhaolin child, he's your own flesh and blood!"

This is jaw-dropping, how can Lu Jinji believe it, this woman is eager to save her son, and it is not strange to say any sensational nonsense! But he sneered:

"You said the same about Tuesday, right?" Tuesday refers to Zhou Zhijie, because he does two, so Lu Jinji has always only called him Tuesday!

Lu Shi was speechless for a while, his expression was embarrassed, and he seemed to want to speak and stopped. This change in expression fell into Lu Jinji's eyes, which was naturally a tacit acquiescence, and with a miserable laugh, the jailer blew this brazen woman away.

"He, he is really your own flesh and blood, the master believes in the slave family......"

The jailer was afraid that the movement would be too loud, so he blasted Lu Shi out, but Lu Jinji was stunned and muttered to himself.

"How could it be, how could it be ......"

There had never been such despair in my chest.

"I want to see the general, I have important information to report to the general!"

……

"What? Involved, Men in Black? This person is the real mastermind behind the burning of the granary? ā€

Lu Jinji's confession confirmed Li Xin's conjecture before, but the conjecture is conjecture, and the evidence is really obtained, and people's hearts are still more shocked than calm. I really didn't expect that the Tartars would stir up Taiyuan Mansion so lightly.

Master Guo built yƬ, when the whole city was immediately searched and arrested, and the Tartar spy was arrested, Li Xin shook his head, this person is so scheming, how can he be so lightly restrained, at this moment, I am afraid that he has long been far away from Taiyuan City, and it may be difficult to arrest him. But if you catch this person, how will it help the situation? Apparently not!

A plan suddenly rose in Li Xin's mind and took shape......

"It's water, it's water...... Come and put out the fire......"

The prison outside the barracks was unexpectedly ablaze with a raging fire, and the soldiers and gendarmes who were on patrol at night rushed to put out the fire after hearing the news, but they were still a step too late, and everyone was extremely fast, and when they came to the rescue, they were powerless. Fortunately, the vast majority of the prisoners were transferred, but when the number of prisoners was counted, the jailer's brain was sweating, and Lu Jinji was gone! I searched the heavens and the earth, but still found nothing, looking at the fire burning in the dark night, people's hearts were all up, right......

The fire burned all night, and when the fire gradually became smaller at dawn, when the people who cleaned up the fire scene entered the ruins of the prison, they found a charred corpse in the location of Lu Jinji's cell, but because the fire burned too violently and the time was too often, the person had already been carbonized, and he could not distinguish the appearance at all, and he could only judge the identity of this person by his figure and the jade and gold ornaments he carried.

After some screening by his son Lu Zhaolin, several ornaments found on the scorched corpse really belonged to Lu Jinji, and everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for a while, with Lu Jinji being burned to death, the Lu family in Taiyuan Mansion was finished.

Suddenly, a sharp burst of laughter shook everyone's ear drums, and it was Lu Zhaolin who laughed like crazy, and there were words in his mouth.

"The old immortal thing, let you harm my son, and you deserve to be burned, haha...... Ha...... Haha......"

Lu Zhaolin was obviously stimulated by Lu Jinji, his father, who had always loved him very much, actually wanted to treat him to death, and he had been affectionate the day before, but when he turned his head, he was so ruthless, how could he accept this?

But after all, it was his father who had raised him for more than 20 years, and Lu Zhaolin suddenly saw this character who made him in awe in the first half of his life, and at this moment he turned out to be a piece of charcoal beyond recognition, and the psychological defense line could no longer be held, and the whole person completely collapsed.

Things have developed to this point, and the whole city has collectively lost their voices, so much so that they should have run to tell each other and set off firecrackers to celebrate, but people just couldn't be happy. The tragedy of humanity is nothing more than this, and in the end, Lu Jinji died tragically among the people, and his son Lu Zhaolin also went insane because he couldn't stand the stimulation.

It is said that someone saw with their own eyes that Lu Dagongzi picked up a piece of dog poop from the ground despite the dissuasion of the jailer, and the one he ate was called a fragrant ...... Speaking of this person, people are both gloating and sympathetic.

The arson case was not a death sentence, and the murder of Honggu was originally Lu Zhaolin's lifeline, but since everyone had gone crazy, the court was not even convened, and after the Taiyuan government announced the crime, Lu Zhaolin was allowed to be released on bail pending trial and go home to recuperate.

The tolerance of the government caught the people in the city by surprise, and even the expected raid did not happen. The people of good deeds speculated privately with the tavern and tea shop, could they have been wrong before? Or is the general ready to cast a long line to catch a big fish? But look at where are the big fish in this Taiyuan city?

"Taiyuan Afternoon News" did not fall into the ground for the first time, but published a memorial written by the children of the Lu family, and objectively evaluated Lu Jinji's life. As a result, it can be regarded as a perfect end to the chaos in Taiyuan City.

The widow Lu Shi, who was struggling to support the Lu Mansion, donated a large sum of money to the General Military Mansion, either for the purpose of atonement or for the purpose of self-preservation, but Li Xin categorically refused, and reprimanded the Lu family for still not really realizing his mistake.

What she needs to compensate is not the General Military Mansion, but Zhang Fangyan's hometown and the people involved in the turmoil inside and outside Taiyuan.

After the general Li Xinna was reprimanded, Lu Shide seemed to have opened his mind, and took his crazy son to Zhang Fangyan's house to ask for guilt, promising to return the demolished house after repairing it, and giving a lot of money. In this regard, Zhang Fangyan's eldest son, who received the Lu family, accepted the plan to repair the old mansion, but also categorically rejected her money.

After a series of chaotic situations over the past few days, this seemingly thrilling battle finally came to an end, but the defeated Lu family finally kept the family business of Nuoda. And Li Xin's tolerance gave a signal to the wealthy merchants in the city, not only was he Li Xin not a horse thief who was robbed by force as rumored, but also took the lead in upholding the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and would never use power for his own personal gain.

Merchants have this consensus, and the spread spreads, and in just a few years, Taiyuan Mansion has become the state capital where businessmen are most willing to do business, because it has incomparable advantages, security and tendentious policies in other places. In this turbulent era, the first wave of vigorous development in Taiyuan Province occurred in the following years. Of course, that's all for later.

Nowadays, Taiyuan Mansion and even the whole of Shanxi are shrouded in an invisible net, and the uneasy feelings are faintly fermenting among the people, and the shortage of materials, especially food, makes this kind of feelings become more and more severe over time.

It was under this circumstance that an inconspicuous caravan left Taiyuan Mansion, and a slightly rickety back on horseback threw one last look at Taiyuan City in the south, and then followed the caravan north.
