Chapter 246: The Key Person, Boss Xue
"Do you understand a little now?" Lu Sheng looked at Qing Xuan's trembling figure with pity and sighed in a low voice.
"Lai Chuntao and Wu Changsheng were the direct key people in the case that year. I don't dare to guarantee that Wu Changsheng, but Lai Chuntao and I have direct evidence to prove that he is related to the case of the year.
Do you know that on the night he was killed, I was already planning to capture him. He's a soft bone, and I don't believe it can't be used to get a useful confession out of his mouth.
But...... He's dead! You've managed to cut off the clue I've worked so hard to find. Especially that Lady Nine...... With an unyielding uprightness, what about being a red party?"
Qing Xuan hugged her arms blankly, trembling violently. The empty eyes look so pitiful.
"You really think it's ...... Were the seven big teeth who were scapegoats purely from the government? Were the few people who were randomly found by the government to avoid being punished?
Why did Dongsheng Dental Stores suddenly receive a batch of cloth dyeing orders, and why did the seven major dental stores all coincidentally deliver urgent goods on the same day? Why did some cloth dyeing and porcelain ignore the danger of typhoons? Is it so urgent?
You haven't thought about it...... All of this is a bureau? If there are no five thousand children, will the imperial court give up? Therefore, both the imperial court and the masterminds behind the scenes need to give a result to this matter.
Five thousand children, buried in the sea, this is the best result. And choose the seven major dental lines...... That's just an inevitability of chance.
When you were young, you probably didn't understand the nature of the Seven Great Teeth, right? In your heart, your father is loving and your mother is gentle. But in the eyes of the people of Jiangbei Province, what are the seven major tooth lines?
Gangbuk Province is poor, so there are many families who can't eat. But that's not a reason for the Seven Tooth Shops to be crazy and wanton. Poverty is not a breeding ground for dental trades.
Even if the Seven Great Tooth Lines were not used as scapegoats, what the Seven Great Teeth Lines did back then would never escape the sanctions of Dayu's law. It's just that the charges are different.
I know it's hard for you to accept this, and I don't want to tell you about it. But I really don't want to see your face as if the whole world owes you.
Yes, Dongsheng Yaxing was wronged and made a scapegoat. But have you ever wondered why so many people sang and danced when they were beheaded in the vegetable market, and why did so many people set off firecrackers to celebrate? Cause and effect...... It's all planted by yourself. β
Lu Sheng slowly came to Qing Xuan's face, gently stretched out his hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"But at least, you're innocent. At the beginning of his tenure, he made a grand wish, although he did not dare to say that he wanted to smooth out all the injustices in the world. But at least, in my eyes, I want justice for everyone.
In my eyes, I do not want any wicked to go unpunished, and in my eyes, I do not want any good people to be oppressed. At the beginning, you were able to work so hard for ten children you didn't know, and today this official promises you a fair and just way. But...... You've got to cooperate with me. β
Lu Sheng gently took off his coat and draped it on Qing Xuan's body.
Feeling the temperature of her clothes, Qing Xuan's mind was gradually withdrawn. Tightening the neckline of his clothes, he raised his head firmly, "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
"I'll take you to meet someone first!" Lu Sheng said lightly, turned around and led Qing Xuan out of the Hao River to the Criminal Division.
"Miss Qingxuan!" Lu Jian saw Lu Sheng coming back, and was about to step forward, when he suddenly saw Qing Xuan behind Lu Sheng, and his eyes suddenly lit up. But in the next moment, Lu Jian looked at Lu Sheng with suspicion.
The clothes on Qing Xuan's body, aren't they Lu Sheng's?
"Don't look at me like that, it's a little cold tonight! β
The dungeon is no longer deserted, and on the night Lai Chuntao was killed, Lu Sheng brought back the steward and shopkeeper of Dongcheng Yaxing from the beginning. Even Duan Fei took the initiative to arrest all the main persons in charge of Lai Chuntao's industry.
Seeing Lu Sheng coming, the three Xuantianwei guarding the dungeon hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Your Excellency!"
"How is she?"
"It's still the same, don't eat or drink, we really can't help it, so we forced her to drink some porridge. But...... Even so, I am afraid that it will not last long. β
"Got it!" Lu Sheng walked forward by himself, and soon came to the outside of the cell where the Ninth Lady was being held. The Ninth Lady lay lifeless in the dead grass, even if so many people arrived at Lu Sheng, she didn't react at all.
"Qingqing, Qingqingβ" Qing Xuan suddenly rushed to the outside of the cell door excitedly and shouted inside.
The lifeless Ninth Lady moved, turned her eyes blankly, and looked at Qing Xuan who was calling outside the prison door, and suddenly, the whole person jumped up as if she was stimulated.
crawled to the edge of the cage, "woo woo woo woo ......"
The Ninth Lady wanted to speak, but the bite of her tongue did not heal so quickly, so she could only let out a meaningless whine from her mouth.
"What's wrong with her? What the hell happened to her? What did you do to her? How could you do this to a weak woman? Do you still have humanity?" Qing Xuan roared at Lu Sheng excitedly.
"Bold!" Before Lu Sheng could defend himself, the three Xuantian guards around him quit. Although these Xuantianwei belonged to Duan Fei's command, Lu Sheng was a banner in Xuantianwei's mind.
The affection for Lu Sheng is not just a simple treatment of superiors, to a certain extent, Lu Sheng and Xuantianfu have been equated. Xuantian Mansion started from scratch, and it was almost Lu Sheng who supported the prestige of Xuantian Mansion alone.
Although the predecessor of the Xuantian Mansion in Jiangnan Province was the Nanling Palace, after all, it was separated and changed the signboard, and its prestige once fell to the bottom. If it weren't for Lu Sheng's strong suppression of the floating martial arts sects, and if it weren't for Lu Sheng's move to fly immortals outside the sky to deter the heroes, how could Xuantian Mansion be as beautiful as it is now?
Therefore, Lu Sheng is glorious, sacred, and inviolable in Xuan Tianwei's heart. Even the prince of the world has never shouted at Lu Sheng, where did you dare to go wild in front of Lu Sheng?
If it weren't for the fact that Qing Xuan was a woman, the three Xuan Tianwei might have drawn their swords at this moment.
was shouted by Xuan Tianwei, and Qing Xuan's face stiffened. Lu Jian hurriedly opened the three Xuantian Guards, and looked at Qing Xuan with a not very good face, "Miss Qingxuan, we haven't touched this young lady roughly, not even a single hair of her.
Mrs. Jiu's tongue was bitten by herself, and if she hadn't been stopped by an adult, she was afraid that she would have bitten her tongue directly. β
Qing Xuan is not stupid, and she figured out the key to it at a point. Slowly squatting down, stretching out his hand to caress Qingqing's cheeks, tears dripping down uncontrollably.
"Why are you so stupid...... Who asked you to do this...... What if I can't talk anymore?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I've seen the Qingqing girl's injury, it's not a big deal, but now it's just that she can't speak because of her tongue numbness. It will be fine in a few days. As he spoke, he summoned Xuan Tianwei to open the cell door and lead Qing Xuan in.
Lu Sheng retreated three Xuantian Guards, leaving only Lu Jian to wait outside. Swept out a piece of hay at random, and Lu Sheng naturally sat cross-legged on the ground.
"I'm bringing you here to tell you that I'm not being rude to your people, so you don't need to be in such a hurry to find your life. I couldn't help the goddess at the entrance of the vegetable market, she hid the poison in her teeth, and when she saw me, she took the poison and committed suicide. I can't save ......."
"She is my seventh aunt, I know that she doesn't want to live for a long time, if it weren't for revenge, she wouldn't be alive now. Of so many aunts and aunts who were beheaded back then, she was the only one who survived. β
"The case back then was just a cause, or rather, it was just an initial layout for the people behind the scenes. The forces behind the scenes are huge, and their relationship is also intertwined. I just came to Gangbuk-do, and speaking of which, I haven't been able to make any substantial progress so far. You know something? I hope you can tell me without concealment. β
"Me?" Qing Xuan hugged the young girl, with a wry smile on her face, "What can I know? I'm just a weak woman." Open a green house in Tongnan Mansion, and use beauty to revolve among various big people. If you're not careful, you'll be swallowed to the bone......"
"How much do you know about that Boss Xue?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"Boss Xue?" Qing Xuan raised her head and looked at Lu Sheng, "What does Boss Xue have to do with my family's case?" Boss Xue came to Tongnan Mansion ten years ago, and three years had passed since that case when he came.
I don't know much about Boss Xue, except that last year, Boss Xue invited his shopkeeper to a banquet and invited me to play a song. After that, the son-in-law of Boss Xue's family seemed to have taken a fancy to me, and he ignored it at that time.
Originally, I thought that Xue Gongzi was just a whim, but in the next year, I could often receive things from Xue Gongzi. But don't get me wrong, Lord Lu, I didn't accept anything from him, and I also know that they just took a fancy to my skin. As soon as the freshness passes, I'm nothing.
As for this Boss Xue's background, he is from the capital. Soon opened up the situation in Tongnan Province, and won many wealthy businessmen in Tongnan Province in one go.
Everyone knows that Boss Xue is a person with hands and eyes, and he can send goods to all parts of Dayu on his ship, so Boss Xue has always been the God of Wealth of the major commercial houses in Tongnan Mansion.
Ten years later, Boss Xue has almost controlled the lifeblood of all the trading houses, and if there is no Boss Xue to provide shipments, they will hardly be able to move an inch. That's all I know, and I didn't care too much about that Boss Xue before. If the adults are interested, I can keep an eye on ......."
"Is that Xue Gongzi still in touch with you?"
"No, after that meeting, Xue Gongzi was sent back to the capital by Boss Xue. In the past year, everything that has been delivered has been sent by someone. β
Lu Sheng frowned, his eyes flashing.
"Qingqing girl, do you know that Lai Chuntao has an uncle, who is from the palace?"
"Ahh
"Even you don't know...... It seems that this person is very important to Lai Chuntao, and as his wife and concubine, he doesn't know it...... Is what the prefect said true or false? If it is true, then the name of the prefect is very weighty. β
"Lord Lu, that Boss Xue and the case back then...... Does it matter?" Qing Xuan asked again, after all, in her opinion, Boss Xue appeared long after the child theft case, and it should have nothing to do with this case.
