If Guo Ru was not from Nanshan Village, then his violent death might not alert Xuantian Mansion, let alone Lu Sheng.

Not only Dayu officials, it can be said that since the imperial era, the proportion of officials among the high-risk groups who died violently is the highest. In this day and age, there may not be the term death by overwork, but there is such a thing as death by overwork.

Suddenly, he was tired and lay down, and then he never got up again, this is the truth of the violent death.

Among the officials of Dayu, violent deaths occur every year. And this year, it was the turn of the left capital Yushi Guo Ru, the wax torch turned into ashes, and the tears began to dry and fell on the comfort of work. Well, it's all over you, model worker!

If it weren't for Lu Sheng's perception of the strangeness, Guo Ru would have thought that the country had worked hard to close the coffin.

When Lu Sheng rushed to the Inspectorate, Yu Shitai was discussing the aftermath of Lord Guo Ru.

Seeing that Xuantian Mansion was going and returning, the imperial historians of the Inspectorate were a little confused.

Before the establishment of Xuantianfu, there were only two judicial bodies. One is the Criminal Department, which is responsible for criminal cases across the country, and the Criminal Department has a fast arrest system, commonly known as Six Doors.

The other is the Imperial History Observatory of the Inspectorate, which is responsible for the assessment, supervision, supervision and a series of work of the Imperial History Bureau. The Criminal Department is in charge of the people, and the Inspectorate is in charge of officials.

And since the establishment of Xuantian Mansion, Xuantian Mansion, which should obviously be the younger brother, has leapt above the Criminal Department and the Inspectorate. These two departments are the ones who are the most unhappy.

Speaking of talking guns, the three departments have no less. Because the Xuantian Mansion in Jingzhou was not prominent, it was not much different from other yamen before Lu Sheng came.

But since Lu Sheng came, the waist pole of Xuantianfu seemed to be like plastic turning into alloy, and when it sounded, it became straight and straight.

In the past, the Inspectorate might have driven people out, but now, the Inspectorate is at least going to come forward and ask what are you doing here?

Yuan Zheng had just come to Xuan Tianwei, and before he could speak, his face turned pale with fright. At this moment, he knew very well that he didn't need to speak. Isn't this young man in front of him who doesn't talk like a man, but who is walking in a purple official robe, who is taking the steps of a big man......

"Xiaguan Inspectorate Yuanzheng, see Lord Lu, Lord Lu...... You're ......"

"I heard that the left capital of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Imperial History Guo Ru died violently? This official came to see if there was anything suspicious. ”

"Suspicious? No......" Inspector Zuo hurriedly shook his head, "Lord Guo is too tired and tired, and he is really a model for my generation of officials." Prior to this, Mr. Guo had been working tirelessly for nearly a month. ”

"Sleepless for a month?" Lu Sheng's eyes were cold, "Has Zuodu Yushi been busy lately?"

"This ......"

Bragging seems to be used to blowing, and Lord Cai will come as soon as he opens his mouth. But he forgot that the Inspectorate can check all the officials above and below Dayu, and the Xuantian Mansion can even check the imperial historians of the Inspectorate.

It is necessary to investigate not only the work style problem, but also the work problem. If you want Lu Sheng to say that you don't sleep for a month, then give me all the work that you don't work for. I'm afraid Lord Cai can only roll his eyes.

Lord Cai was thinking too much, but Lu Sheng just suspected that Guo Ru's death might be related to his sleepless work for a month. So I didn't expect that Lord Cai was just an exaggeration of language arts, and when I opened my mouth, I came to the question that Lord Cai was most afraid of.

"Bring me what Master Guo has been doing these days, whether it is documents, files, or even materials. ”

"Lord Lu, forgive your sins! Forgive your sins, we, no. ”

"No, don't you say that Master Guo has been busy with sleepless work for a month? So, he's been busy all month in vain?"

"Your Excellency...... Although Lord Guo is a subordinate of the lower officials, he is not very ...... Gregarious, except for completing the work assigned to him by the lower officials, he never reported to the lower officials what he was doing. In fact...... Xia Guan didn't know what he was busy with. ”

"Then what was Master Guo doing when he had an accident?"

And ...... Nothing was done, we had gone down to rest. At the time of the incident, it was Master Guo and his master who were sorting out the copywriting together. ”

"Where's his master?"

"...... Taken away by the Criminal Department. However, I also learned some information at the time, and I heard Master Ling say that Master Guo was writing this year's official review report, and then suddenly heard the news that Nanshan Village was swallowed by a mudslide. And Nanshan Village is the home of Lord Guo. Guo Da was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood and then ...... went. ”

Lu Sheng's brows were furrowed, and the word angry attack was used well.

If it is purely a natural disaster, the reaction of normal people is not to believe it, and they are depressed or go crazy and run home to take a look. But why are you so angry?

Sudden death from an unexpected blow is probably much less likely than anger, because anger causes an instantaneous increase in blood pressure, and even the magnitude of the increase is the most violent of all emotions.

Pure accident can sometimes cause blood pressure to plummet, but anger can send blood pressure straight to the brain like a rocket jet. It's called a raging crown!

Lu Sheng came to Lord Guo Ru's office to search around, and found that the corresponding materials had been taken away by the Criminal Department. This point aroused Lu Sheng's suspicions, if he died of overwork and died violently, the Criminal Department should not take over.

Turned around and walked towards the punishment department.

With Lu Sheng's current identity, a turn can affect the hearts of countless people. When I arrived at the Criminal Department, the head of the Criminal Department had already come to greet me outside the door.

"Master Lu is here to ......"

"Guo Ru's case has been taken over by Xuantianfu, and the corresponding human and material evidence will be brought to me. ”

"Okay, okay!" Lord Du of the Criminal Department nodded again and again with an embarrassed smile on his face. Regarding Lu Sheng's faceless interruption of the scene, Master Du said that it was completely reasonable.

"Where's Guo Ru's master Ling Jia?"

"In the prison of the Criminal Department, we originally just brought him back to the Criminal Department for questioning, but we didn't want him to confess to the bribes he had received from officials from various places over the years, tampered with audit reports, and spoken favorably on behalf of officials to cover up the truth. ”

"Huh?" Lu Sheng's footsteps paused, "So, Ling Jia has a problem?"

"Last night's interrogation was completed, and it was determined that there was a problem, and I was put in prison first, and I originally planned to hear the verdict with the Inspectorate after the court meeting tomorrow. ”

"Bring him up to me. ”

Lu Sheng frowned, but his heart was already alive. Could it be that the destruction of Nanshan Village was related to Guo Ru's official performance review this time? If Guo Ru was not angry but killed him, then Nanshan Village could be regarded as a case of extermination.

I waited for half an hour, but I didn't see anyone from the criminal department coming. Lu Sheng's face showed impatience, and Lord Du's face turned even blue.

Master Du stood up angrily, "Is it taking so long to mention someone? Come on, what are you doing to eat? The materials have already been delivered, why haven't you come to the prison of the Criminal Department for a long time? ”

The official who pushed the door in hurriedly said yes, and not long after turning to leave, an official wearing a five-rank official rank stumbled in from outside the door, and when he crossed the threshold, he tripped and fell on the threshold and fell into.

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... Oh no......"

"You...... Didn't you ask you to mention people? Why did you come back alone?"

Lingjiata...... He committed suicide. ”

"What!" Master Du swooped and stood in front of the man, the expression on his face was wonderful.

Lu Sheng looked at Master Du's expression gloomily, and looked at it for a long time before his face looked a little better. At least Lu Sheng didn't see any flaws in Lord Du's face. The change of face and the change of expression were not suspicious in the slightest.

Lord Du suddenly bowed to Lu Sheng, "My lord, the official is derelict in his duties!"

With the title of Xiaguan, Lord Du is humble. Although Lu Sheng's rank and title are above Master Du. But Lu Sheng is Xuantianfu, after all, he is not in the same system as the Criminal Department.

But Master Du is also engaged in criminal law and is more sensitive to this aspect. From Lu Sheng's fuss to personally mention people, to Ling Jia's sudden suicide in prison. Lord Du deduced a truth in an instant, extinguishing his mouth!

"Did you kill yourself?" Lu Sheng asked coldly as he stared coldly at the Wupin official who was kneeling on the ground.

"It was indeed suicide, and in Ling Jia's arms, there was still a blood book. And Ling Jia's death was very peaceful, without the slightest trace of twisting and struggling. Can be identified as ...... Commit suicide. ”

Although from the perspective of psychological expectations, Lu Sheng does not look down on peers outside Xuantian Mansion, such as the Criminal Department, such as the Inspectorate. But Lu Sheng will not deny other people's professions without a bottom line.

Lu Sheng went to the cell in person, and Ling Jia's body was still hanging on the beam. It was determined that it was suicidal unintentional.

The blood book in his arms has no other new meaning, he knows that he is deeply sinful, has no shame to live, and dies to atone for his sins.

Death naturally cannot atone for his sins, because the sins he committed should also be stabbed. The change of the file by a clerk is similar to a soldier's lying about the military situation, especially when it comes to the performance review of officials.

But...... The cause of Guo Ru's death is unknown, but the only witness is that he committed suicide at this juncture. Even if you think about it on your toes, you know that there must be a problem, right?

"Master Du, what do you say?" Lu Sheng glanced at Du Hu with slanted eyes.

"Big ...... My lord, yes...... It was the lower official who made an omission here, and the lower official actually let the prisoner commit suicide in prison...... The lower officials must be rectified, and they must be rectified......"

"Rectification? You may have lost a key clue worth nearly a thousand lives in vain. You should explain this to the cabinet. Lu Sheng left a sentence, turned around and left the criminal department with a group of files.

It is impossible to take down the criminal department and ask for the guilt. Even if you ask for sin, at most you ask about the sin of negligence. Lu Sheng did not have any evidence related to this case from the Criminal Department. The only hope now is that the literature left by Guo Ru can find some clues.

I flipped through the Xuantian Mansion until the middle of the night, but unfortunately all I left behind were some official performance appraisals. Although there are bad evaluations in performance appraisals, there is no problem of serious mistakes and serious dereliction of duty by any official.

If it was just because of the bad reviews on the performance appraisal, the murderer would not kill Guo Ru so frantically, this is not enough, but he would have to knock down a mountain and collapse two villages.

Lu Sheng prefers to believe that Guo Ru must have more deadly clues in his hands, so deadly that some people will not hesitate to kill people when Lu Sheng has already come to Jingzhou.

Is this looking down on me?

Before dawn, Lu Sheng straightened up from the table on his stomach and stretched out.

Just as I wanted to look up to see what time it was, and if there was no need to go back to sleep, the office door collapsed and was pushed open.

Shen Ling strode into Lu Sheng's office in a magnificent royal suit, "I went to your house and knocked on the door for a long time, and the housekeeper said that you didn't return last night." Have you been like this for all these years?"
