This was a clue that surprised Lu Le.
"The qi and blood are calm, the study is neatly furnished, with Zhao Zhutou's skills, how can he be defeated without resistance, isn't this murderer afraid of being found out by the tail?" Lu Le looked puzzled, listened to the details of what Zhang Bao said, and couldn't help but speak.
"The problem is here, Lai Gouzi still has a little ability, and immediately controlled the acquaintances that Zhao Zhutou had contacted, these people have human and physical evidence, and there is no suspicion of committing the crime." Zhang Bao said with a wry smile.
"Let's take a look first?" Lu Le made a proposal.
Zhang Bao nodded and said, "That's how it should be." ā
The two rushed to Zhao Zhutou's mansion on South Street. Xihe County is a very standard square city, entrusted with the blessing of the Donghe corpse rebellion 20 years ago, as the headquarters of the resistance to the corpse tide (handsome tent) of Xihe City was transformed into a big city by the general Wu Lan at that time, in order to facilitate the mobilization of troops, four main roads in the southeast and northwest were forcibly opened, and the East Street and South Street were one of them, the difference was that the East Street was the bottom of the market with short clothes and short coats, and the connection was also the narrow alleys, and the South Street was different here, all of them were upper-class people in long shirts and Confucian clothes, One magnificent mansion after another is the residence of the gentry of the noble family here.
Zhao Zhutou as the head of the Xihe Inspection Division, is also a figure with a face in the city, listening to Zhang Bao, because of his good martial arts, he has repeatedly solved major cases, and has been appreciated by the county lieutenant.
Looking at the brand-new plaque in front of the door, Lu Le and the two arrived at their destination, the plaque with the word Zhao Fu had just been hung up, and the family was gone, leaving orphans and widows crying on the side, except for the two guards and officials, Lai Chaoyi, who was in charge of the case, had already cast the net after investigating the scene, and was not here.
These two humble officials naturally did not dare to embarrass the famous Uncle Zhang, and Lu Le soon met the family members of Zhao Zhutou, the Zhao family who still had charm and the ten-year-old Zhao Shan.
Zhao is a person who has no opinions, and his identity is very simple, I heard that he is singing in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou in Rongcheng, Zhao Zhutou's good looks, Zhao Zhutou rose to the head of West Street Catcher, and he had the money to take the silver to Rongcheng to redeem himself, so he followed him, and Zhao Shan's unsatisfied month was born, and his tongue was chewed. As soon as Lu Le interrogated, the woman kept crying, complaining about what to do in the future, and Lu Le was also annoyed by the question, so he simply ignored it.
Zhao Shan is only ten years old, and he looks quite delicate, no matter how Lu Le looks at it, he can't associate him with the majestic Zhao Zhutou, plus Zhao's production is not satisfied, and being chewed on the root of his tongue is also a proper meaning.
Unexpectedly, after this incident, the pillars of the family were gone, except for the vague tear stains on his face, Zhao Shan's mood was quite stable, unlike ordinary children crying, and he endured his grief and told Lu Le what he saw like an adult.
"Daddy is in a very anxious mood these days, and he has the intention to share his worries for his father, but he was blocked by his father, and yesterday he received the case from the county governor's office, and his father ordered that he was not allowed to go close to the study to clarify the case alone. At the end of the day, he got up to read, and saw that the oil lamp in his father's study was still on, so he entered the study, but he ...... said this, Zhao Shan's choked up, his eyes were red, and he couldn't speak.
is just a child, but he has to bear such a fate, Lu Le sighed and said a few words of relief.
Zhang Bao on the side heard that something was wrong, and asked solemnly: "Young boy, just now you said that the head catcher is locked in the study alone and no one is allowed to approach, and you used another word, is it true that others are not allowed to approach the study on weekdays?" ā
The young man lifted his robe and wiped his tears, and replied with a hint of crying in his voice: "Naturally not, but Daddy will lock himself in the study after taking some doubtful cases, and reason about the case alone." ā
"In this way, not all cases of Zhao Zhutou will be locked in the study, and only when it is difficult to make a decision will he take the long exam alone." Lu Le also reacted at this time, and continued to ask: "Can the young boy tell me how long it will take to appear and be locked up in the study alone like this?" ā
Zhao Shan fell into memories and said uncertainly: "It depends on the case, about March and May, and there are occasional connections." ā
Zhang Bao interjected on the side: "Zhao Tou's ability to solve the case, I, Zhang Bao, am convinced." Xihe is a big county, and it is close to Shu Jinrong City, gathering merchants from all over the world, and there are often suspicious cases, but Zhao Tou's eyes are like torches, even if there is a stalemate on the same day, the next day can be clarified and the thief will be taken. It's too much of a broom to cherish itself, this Xihe is not enough to rely on Zhao Tou alone, I invited several tables of banquets, Zhao Tou just refused to teach me this skill, just prevaricated the family heirloom and did not pass it on, it turned out that there was this exquisiteness, just like the retreat and cultivation of martial artists, Zhao Tou was originally thinking about the case behind closed doors! It suddenly dawned on him when he said it, and he had an expression of picking up the cheats.
There is something weird, this is Lu Le's first reaction, but for the sake of His Holiness, Zhao Shan and Zhang Bao are there, and Lu Le can't continue to say that Zhao Zhutou has a problem for a while, otherwise in addition to causing the two of them unhappy, they won't get any information. But there was more than one irregularity, and Lu Le soon discovered something wrong.
"The little boy has not cultivated martial arts?" Looking at Zhao Shan, who was walking vainly, Lu Le couldn't help but ask.
"Hey!" At this time, Zhang Bao interjected again, "It's not that Zhao Tou wants to let Gongzi go on a career path, and the gentleman he has invited since he was a child doesn't want to do this kind of thing like us." ā
Zhao Shan nodded, he didn't like to practice martial arts by nature, and his father died at the hands of people in the rivers and lakes, he was slightly unhappy with Lu Le's questioning, and said: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high." This thing of beating and killing, the handle disdains it. ā
Zhao Zhutou's skills, Lu Le doesn't know, but Zhang Bao has already achieved half-step perfection the day after tomorrow, he admits that his boss's martial arts are higher than him, so it is naturally the acquired perfection, such skills actually did not educate his children to practice martial arts, I don't know if he deliberately connived, or he was determined to transfer to the eunuch's house, no matter what Lu Le felt a little far-fetched.
That's right, because the Empress Wu overwhelmed the world, starting from Li Longji, the imperial court's fear of the martial arts is not deep, the three unique immortals Li Bai is eternal, the poet and wine sword saint Du Fu is both civil and military, Xuanzong does not dare to give officials easily, and forced the world martial arts to set up three covenants of martial arts, and at this time, the rivers and lakes that have been stamped on the holy land by the Empress Wu, and the rivers and lakes that have been suppressed for decades are also palpitating. Even the holy land of Wuzong, which has been inherited for a hundred years and thousands of years, must also give in, and if you don't accept it, you will be beheaded all over the house, and some families will try to resist, and the queen of martial arts will defeat the supreme master and join forces, and even send troops to slaughter the full door of the sect of disobedience.
The domineering power of the Empress Wu is in herself, who opposes it, and who approves of it, which makes everyone feel frightened, and the Three Covenants of Martial Arts are the agreement launched by the imperial court and the rivers and lakes in addition to fear.
