In the backyard of the Criminal Division, Lu Li's sword light danced. A set of Huashan introductory swordsmanship, which was used by Lu Li's taste of supreme martial arts. This is not because of how high Lu Li's comprehension is, but because the starting point of the force value of this world itself is very high.

Running the internal force, the body of the beaver ripples with internal force fluctuations that are visible to the naked eye. The internal qi was conducted, and the Qingfeng Sword in Lu Li's hand instantly swung out a three-inch sword light.

Every move can break through the air and ripple like water waves.

Lu Sheng looked at the dossier and raised his eyes slightly, with some envy in his eyes.

Lu Sheng, who has no internal strength, even if he has exquisite swordsmanship, is only in vain, it is okay to deal with ordinary people, but to deal with those with martial arts, there is no internal strength, and there is only abuse.

But Lu Sheng is not in a hurry, he has the internal force to punish evil.

It has been three days since the reopening of the Criminal Division, and although there are many people watching the excitement, no one has ever sounded the drum at the door.

In the past three days, Lu Sheng, with his ability to never forget, has roughly scanned the typical cases left behind by the operation of the pre-criminal division.

Lu Sheng has some understanding of the business scope of the Criminal Division.

"Knock knock—"

The turning point always came so suddenly, Lu Sheng was still sighing just now, and before it opened, there was a thunderous drum sound in the distance.

The drum of grievances was beaten.

Lu Li stopped his movements and raised his puzzled eyes to look at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng hurriedly put down the file in his hand, changed into an official robe and walked towards Sitang.

There were three old men standing on either side of the hall, and this scene looked cold no matter how you looked at it.

In the middle of the hall, there was a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe, who was rich and full of the atmosphere of a local tyrant.

The middle-aged man kept rubbing his hands, looking very anxious. And Lu Sheng was slightly stunned when he saw someone coming.

"Li Yuanwai, why are you?"

"Young Master Lu Sheng?" Li Yuanwai was also shocked when he saw Lu Sheng, but then an excited expression appeared on his face.

With a plop, Li Yuanwai knelt on the ground, "Lu Sheng, save the carriage, please, save the carriage......"

Lu Sheng hurriedly walked down the hall and helped Li Yuanwai up, and turned around to ask Lu Li to move a chair.

At that time, Lu Sheng and his sister were poor, and they relied on well-wishers to help them with food, and when her sister was young, Lu Sheng once planned to give up the opportunity to study at Akiyama Academy.

After Li Yuanwai heard about it, he gave Lu Sheng ten taels of silver to help Lu Sheng get through the difficulties. Although he is no longer the Lu Sheng of the past, he must remember this feeling.

It is said that there are ten merchants and nine traitors, but most of them are said with jealousy. At least in Lu Sheng's impression, Li Yuanwai is definitely a good person.

In addition to doing business, Li Yuanwai is not ambiguous at all about building bridges and paving roads and helping poor students.

Li Yuanwai's son Li Xiang is also Lu Sheng's classmate at Qiushan Academy, and the relationship between the two is good. Li Xiang is romantic by nature and generous, while Lu Sheng is not good at words and only reads on weekdays.

Because of their different personalities, they are not too close to Li Xiang, but their friendship with each other is not shallow.

It's just that I didn't expect that only half a year has passed, why did Li Xiang get into trouble?

Lu Li moved the chair, and Lu Sheng helped Li Yuanwai to the chair, "Li Yuanwai, don't worry, please talk about anything slowly." ”

"Lord Lu, this matter has to start with last autumn's test. In the autumn exam last year, you raised people in high school, but you didn't even have a ranking. On weekdays, I call you talented people brothers, but I only know how to be romantic, and I can't even touch the edge of a talented person.

The carriage is not the material for reading, and I know it in my heart. After thinking about it, he thought about letting Xiang'er start a family. So, he set a family affair for Xiang'er.

That family is a young lady from Datong rice connoisseur in the west of the city, and the old man just hopes that Xiang'er can collect his mind after getting married, and no longer mess with flowers and grass all day long. ”

"Miss Datong Rice Connoisseur?" Miss He Yun?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Exactly!"

It stands to reason that there is still a big gap between a small rich family like Datong Rice Bank and Li Yuanwai's family. But adhering to the practice of marrying at the end and marrying high, this family affair is considered a good match.

And Lu Sheng, the young lady of Datong rice expert, still knows something, and she is quite famous. In particular, Miss He Yun's piano skills are highly respected in the talent circle.

In several poetry meetings, Lu Sheng has seen Miss He Yun and heard her play the piano. Lu Sheng also has a good impression of this talented woman.

"That's a good thing. ”

This was supposed to be a good thing, but it was this good thing that caused trouble. Last month, I was supposed to go to Hefu to discuss getting married, but I was originally scheduled to get married this month.

But my business was in a temporary situation, and I wanted to go far away, thinking that I was going to let Xiang'er take over the business soon, so I let him go by himself with the intention of letting him exercise.

Unexpectedly, that night, He Fumanmen was poisoned, the eldest lady He Yun was raped and killed, and the second lady was also stabbed after being humiliated. The government received the report and arrested Xiang'er on the spot.

In less than a day, he was found to have seized all the stolen goods, and the evidence of the crime was undoubted, and he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. The old man hurried back, but he didn't even see the carriage...... Lord Lu, you are a former classmate of Xiang'er, you have to help Xiang'er.

My son knows in my heart that although Xiang'er likes to mess with flowers, he is definitely not a subordinate. Moreover, our Li family has a lot of money, so why can't we commit such a crime. ”

Speaking of which, Li Yuanwai once again burst into tears.

Buzz –

At the moment when Li Yuanwai's voice landed, the punishment order in his mind suddenly rippled. The fluctuation like a breeze tugs at Lu Sheng's heartstrings.

"Li Yuanwai, did you have any dealings with the He family before?Did Li Xiang have any conflicts with the He family?" Lu Sheng hurriedly asked.

"There is no contact, and there is no conflict, if there is a conflict, how can you marry their family?"

"What does He Fu think of Li Xiang?"

"Very polite, full of compliments. ”

"How did the government close the case?"

"He Fumanmen was poisoned, and the poison of arsenic was underneath. And there are residues in the sleeves of the carriage and in the nails.

The eldest lady of the He family was raped and killed, and the second lady was stabbed with a long sword after being raped, and the sword wound was consistent with Xiang'er's sword. In addition, He Fumanmen was killed, and Xiang'er was the only living person left at the scene.

Therefore, the government has judged the evidence and material evidence in ...... The Autumn Queen asks for a cut!"

Li Yuanwai's expression instantly became low, in front of so much evidence, even if Li Yuanwai didn't believe it in his heart, he might be a little shaken.

After all, in this era, as long as the evidence is sufficient, it is not necessary to clarify all the doubts in order to convict.

"Li Yuanwai, since Li Xiang and Miss He Fu have not yet married, how can they stay at He House overnight?"

"Well, I'll have to blame my lady for not knowing how to count. That night, someone from He's house came to my house and told me that Xiang'er and Master He were already drunk after talking in detail, so Xiang'er wouldn't come back tonight.

My wife is a countryman, and she doesn't understand these etiquettes but readily agrees, so she has such a thing. ”

"Hmm!" Lu Sheng nodded to understand the case, "Li Yuanwai, did you bring the paper?"

"Bring it!" Li Yuanwai hurriedly took out the paper from his arms and handed it to Lu Sheng.

There are two kinds of cases filed by the Criminal Division, one is the pleadings of the person who received the report, and the other is directly transferred by the state capital and county yamen. Only in this way can the investigation of the case be justified and justified.

However, the paper is a private job, so the client still has to hand over a large sum of silver.

After Li Yuanwai handed over the paper, he took out a silver ticket, "This is the fixed silver that I entrusted Lord Lu to investigate the case, if Lord Lu can find out the truth and be innocent, I am willing to give a thousand taels of gold to express my gratitude." ”

"Outside of Li Yuan, although Li Xiang has no motive to kill, there are still doubts in this case. However, the government's judgment is not unfounded, so the official cannot give you any assurance until the investigation is clear. ”

"I know that, even if this is really the son of a son who did it, I want to know why he is like this. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then please go back first, and I will investigate the case immediately. Lu Sheng said with a smile and asked Lao Wei to send Li Yuanwai out of the Criminal Division.

Sending Li Yuan away, Lu Sheng stared at the paper and fell into deep thought. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Li Xiang will be made a scapegoat. After all, a clear motive is needed to commit the next massacre, either there is a deep hatred, or the murderer is extremely vicious.

And Li Xiang does not meet these two points.

"Old Wei, what do you think about this case?" Lu Sheng asked lightly.

"My lord, we are all rough people, we don't understand this. In the past, the words often on the lips of the previous officials of the Criminal Division were ironclad evidence, and the case handling of the Criminal Division only talked about evidence.

The adults knew each other as well as Li Yuanwai and Li Xiang, but the prefect's yamen also had ironclad evidence before the verdict was made. I think so...... That's probably it. ”

Lu Sheng shook his head and stopped asking them. took out the 1,000 taels of silver and silver tickets given by Li Yuanwai and looked at it, with a smile on his face.

"Li Yuan's hand is generous, Lao Wei, this way, this money is still owed to your salary, and you can ask someone to renovate the Criminal Division. It doesn't matter how it is inside, the door must be re-done.

At the door is the face of the Criminal Division, and the face must be decent!"

"Yes!" Lao Wei hurriedly replied loudly.

"Let's go, I'm going to the prefect's yamen. ”

"My lord, shall we go with you?" Lao Xing and Lao Li hurriedly said.

Looking at the two gray-haired old men, Lu Sheng shook his head. It's not that Lu Sheng dislikes them, but they are all running around with him when they are old, what if they flash their waists? When they have money in the future, they will recruit some young people, and these three old people will let them retire with peace of mind.

With Lu Li, Lu Sheng went out. Although Lu Lifu is a girl, she is only sixteen years old. It's good to know martial arts, the acquired triple realm, although it doesn't sound strong, but it's more than enough to deal with some ordinary people.

When he arrived at the prefect's yamen, he asked to meet the prefect. was told by the official that the prefect was busy with official business, and asked Lu Sheng to wait for a while.

After that, Lu Sheng's brother and sister were arranged to wait in the living room, and the next person served tea, and the two looked at each other in the living room.

Although the official residence was built by the imperial court, the belongings in the official residence were provided by the officials themselves. The official residence is not only the office of the officials, but also their home.

The living room is simply furnished, except for a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall, there are also some chairs.

At least on the surface, the current prefect Qian Zhifu is a good and honest official.
