Chapter 249: The Wokou Reappears
Although Xingyue was only transferred to Jiangbei Province as an envoy ten years ago, Lu Sheng was not sure whether Xingyue was involved with the forces in the shadows. Moreover, in Shen Ling's confession, the torture review can be trusted to a certain extent. This made Lu Sheng dare not tell the truth.
Therefore, Lu Sheng could only use this set of distracting rhetoric to perfunctory torture, "Yes, it may be that Lai Chuntao's business has hindered others, maybe someone has taken a fancy to Lai Chuntao's industry." It's just that the Ninth Lady has a very strict mouth and does not hesitate to bite off her tongue in order to keep the secret. This has brought a lot of difficulty to the tracking of the lower officials. β
"I heard that Lai Chuntao's Ninth Lady used to be a girl from Cuihualou......? Does it have anything to do with Cuihua Building?"
Lu Sheng suddenly looked at Xing Yue vigilantly, "My lord, do you know something? Or did someone ask you about it?"
"This ......," Xing Yue showed a wry smile. He also knew that with Lu Sheng's intelligence, he would obviously perceive that he cared too much.
The two had an obvious division of labor before, and Lu Sheng came to act on orders, and the two did not interfere with each other. But now, the torture review obviously has the meaning of interference.
If the torture review is not explained to Lu Sheng thoroughly, Lu Sheng will definitely cause misunderstanding, which is what the torture review does not want to see.
"If it were someone else, my brother wouldn't be so eager to ask you. You handle the case, don't worry, brother. But Lai Chuntao's identity is more special, or rather, the identity of many people in Tongnan Mansion is relatively special.
You should also know that today's Concubine Yu was originally from my Tongnan Mansion, and she married in today's saint thirty years ago. That Lai Chuntao has an uncle who is an errand boy next to Concubine Yu.
Although the family is in the palace, but our nephew is dead, we have to give an explanation? What's more, the case is not complicated, and the murderer was caught red-handed......
"Lord Xing is reasonable, but ...... If the Ninth Lady is only brought to justice on the spot, I am afraid that the real culprit will go unpunished, and the lower officials will solve the case as soon as possible, but it is really not appropriate to close the case at this moment. β
"I have this brother said, I know it in my heart, and the next time someone asks, I know how to reply. β
"In that case...... That...... The lower official took his leave. Lu Sheng bowed to the torture review, and then slowly retreated.
Out of the Festival Envoy's Mansion, Lu Sheng's face gradually became gloomy. Lu Jian looked at Lu Sheng's face worriedly, "My lord, is the envoy embarrassed you?"
"Not really, it's just ...... I underestimated the power behind Lai Chuntao. I was able to find Cuihualou so quickly, I didn't expect them to find it so quickly. β
"What, my lord is saying that they already know that Miss Qingxuan is ......" When Lu Jian heard this, his face suddenly changed.
"Not really, but they just had suspicions. It seems that Qing Xuan can't stay in Cuihualou anymore, we pay attention to the rules of evidence, and they won't talk about it. Let Qing Xuan live in the Criminal Division. β
At this moment, a woman in green suddenly walked on the opposite side. The woman in green walked straight towards Lu Sheng, as if she was deliberately touching porcelain, and slammed into Lu Sheng's chest.
If it was avoided, Lu Sheng could naturally avoid it easily, but vaguely Lu Sheng felt that this woman was a little familiar. In the midst of hesitation, he was bumped into by the woman.
"Oh, I'm sorry...... The little woman didn't see ......"
"It's okay, girl, be careful. β
In a hurry, the woman in green hurriedly disappeared into the long street along the flow of people.
Lu Sheng gently took out a handkerchief from his arms, unfolded it, and there was a beautiful line of small characters written on it, "Lord Lu, please come to Cuihualou for a while." β
"My lord, is she a girl from Cuihualou......? Something happened to Cuihualou?" Lu Jian asked solemnly.
"Just go and see......" said and looked back at Lu Jian, "If you are a little concerned, it will be messy, stabilize it." β
The door of Cuihualou is still full of people. Red Sleeve Street is not only a street for eating, drinking and having fun in Tongnan City, but also gathers the most men and women who eat and color here.
Lu Sheng entered Cuihua Building by himself, and the old bustard Aunt Qiu still twisted her exaggerated waist like the wind, "Oh, son, you haven't been here for a few days......"
Aunt Qiu's opening remarks seem to have only one sentence, saying this to everyone, "Childe is going to the private room?"
"Okay, please lead the way. β
Entering the Qinglou, Lu Sheng was never able to get used to it. Even if he had been with Shen Ling many times, Lu Sheng was a little nervous every time. It is also difficult for the body to relax in this place.
As a human being in two lives, I am afraid that Lu Sheng's problem will not be changed. Even in the face of a perverted murder scene, Lu Sheng can calm himself. But even in the Qinglou, Lu Sheng couldn't relax. Therefore, even the speech seems stiff and seldom.
After the three of them entered the private room, it was not long before there was a knock in the room. Miss Qing Xuan walked over and squatted down to Lu Sheng and the three of them, "Qing Xuan has seen Lord Lu. β
"Qing Xuan, you're welcome, what are you sending someone to call me over?"
"A few days ago, the Lord asked Qing Xuan to pay attention to whether there were any Japanese robbers in Tongnan Mansion, and there were really three strange people last night. β
Qing Xuan looked very proud, blinking at Lu Sheng with playful eyes, as if she was asking for credit.
"Oh, how strange is it?" Lu Sheng motioned for Qing Xuan to sit down, and hurriedly asked.
"Those three people seem to be in their twenties, but they give people the impression that they are very young and have not been deeply involved in the world. It's like...... Teenagers in general. Qing Xuan's eyes flowed, and she said with a smile.
They were very polite, and our girl seemed very reserved when she came up to talk to them...... It's like what adults just behaved.
"Ahem, ahem...... Am I restrained?" Lu Sheng asked with some unhappiness.
"Qing Xuan watched from upstairs, the back of the adults was straightened at that time, if he didn't often go in and out of the Qing Building, how could he be so restrained?"
"This official is a member of the public family, and the court has a clear order. Public officials of the imperial court are not allowed to visit the Qinglou. β
"But up and down the government and the opposition, how many people can do it?" Qing Xuan looked at Lu Sheng's eyes, which made Lu Sheng panic.
"Ahem, ahem...... What happened to the three of them?"
The three of them seemed very immature in their words, and they actually nodded to our girl in public? Qing Xuan kept her heart. They said they were looking for a girl, so I asked Aunt Qiu to find them three girls.
Qing Xuan didn't know the specific situation, but the three girls hadn't been able to get out of bed until now. Qing Xuan took the adults to meet the three girls. β
Lu Sheng nodded, but in his heart, he had already decided that these three people should be widows.
The servility of the Japanese has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and their etiquette is much more exaggerated than that of Shenzhou. In other words, they can't steal the teacher properly.
Whoever the subject is, bend down and bow. Bowing to the woman in the Qinglou, this is unimaginable on the land of Shenzhou.
Standing up and leaving through the side door of the room, he was taken by Qing Xuan to a certain room in the backyard. There was a strange fragrance in the room, just like Aunt Qiu's.
The three women were whispering on the bed, the door was opened, and the three women hurriedly looked over vigilantly.
"Missβ"
"Don't come down, I've wronged you......" Qing Xuan hurriedly said, and then said to Lu Sheng, "This is Miss Baiyue, this is the golden branch, this is Jasper, they are the ones who served those three ......"
"Three girls, you served three weird people last night?"
"Yes!" Seeing that Qing Xuan was so polite to Lu Sheng, the three girls naturally put away their usual amorous smiles, but answered seriously and honestly.
"Where's their weirdness?"
"It's the etiquette is very formal, one-sided...... But it always feels ...... Their manners are strange. The little woman has never seen a man bow to us.
But if they are ceremonial people, then they are really no different from beasts.
He is a righteous man and a gentleman in his clothes, but when he takes off his clothes, he is more beast than a beast, and he tossed our sisters for a night, and our sisters can't get out of bed until now. β
"Yes, they are like they are not human, they gnaw and bite at people, and I have scars all over my body. Originally, I thought I would meet a man who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade, but I didn't want to be more barbaric than those people in the rivers and lakes. β
"By the way, he also asked me if I knew martial arts, and if I wanted to kill someone in bed, would I poison or cut my throat. What a pervert...... She is a woman in a green building, is it good to please a man and understand martial arts?"
"That's it, the one I picked up last night was even more perverted, let me sit on him, and asked me to hold a red silk scarf around his neck, and keep telling me to strangle hard. I was so scared that I burst into tears, for fear that he would really be strangled to death by me......"
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, tapped lightly on the tabletop, and suddenly opened his eyes violently, "It should be, what do they look like?" You tell me, Qing Xuan, get me a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." β
"My lord, Qing Xuan has already drawn the portraits of these three people. Qing Xuan smiled faintly and took out a roll of paper from his mouth, "My lord, take a look, maybe use it?"
Lu Sheng took a look, although it was not Lu Sheng's realistic photo painting method, but the appearance of the person was also quite charming.
"Those three people have just left for an hour, and they should still be in Tongnan Mansion. Adults can paste this portrait all over Tongnan Province and arrest the Japanese as soon as possible. β
"Thank you! But...... Miss Qingxuan, I am afraid that you and your brothers and sisters will not be able to live in Cuihua Building. Lu Sheng put away the portrait and handed it to Gai Ying, and said with a solemn face.
"Why?"
"Because those people have already suspected you. Otherwise, why do you think the Japanese came to Cuihualou, and why did they ask if they knew martial arts and would they kill people?
For those people, they don't need evidence, just suspicion is enough to take action against you. It's safer for you to live in the Criminal Division, and as for the role of Cuihualou, you also know that it is not big. β
"This ......" Qing Xuan didn't really want to trouble Lu Sheng in her heart, but when she thought of having so many brothers and sisters, Qing Xuan finally nodded.
"Later, I will ask Lu Jian to bring you back to the Criminal Division in the name of assisting in the investigation of Cuihualou. If you do a show, you have to do a full set. β
Lu Sheng said, stood up and left Cuihua Building with Lu Jian Gaiying. The street was bustling with people, and Lu Sheng was thinking about the latest clues in his mind.
Judging from the appearance of the Japanese in Cuihualou this time, the relationship between the Japanese and Lai Chuntao is really extraordinary. Then it also confirms from the side that Lai Chuntao was not only a bought, but also a participant.
In an instant, Lu Sheng's heart suddenly sank, the power of the A organization was all over the place, but it was really in all aspects of Jiangbei Province.
There is a big boss Xue in finance, a widow in the army, and the eunuch who has the right to go straight to the palace. The entire Gangbuk Province has become a monolith. To squeeze out the screws on top of this iron plate, you really need a good tooth.
"My lord, look!" Suddenly, Gai Ying's voice changed Lu Sheng's mind.
