17 The first fire of the new year
For the affairs of the Zhao family, Lu Zhi did not plan to investigate by himself, he was just a carpenter, and professional things naturally had to be handed over to professional people to do, and the craftsmen were suddenly not active about returning to the Lu family's workshop, there must have been an accident, either himself or his family, and it was appropriate for these to be handed over to Lu Ren for investigation.
As for Lu Ren's ability? That's definitely okay, if you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, not to mention that Lu Zhi plans to give him an artifact.
"By the way, is the yamen on holiday?"
"You mean Ren'er." Lu Jian immediately thought of Lu Ren, who was going to the yamen to be a court official (this article generally refers to the officials who work in the lobby), "There is no holiday, and the hall officials do not have a holiday, the more the New Year and the more lively it is, the more important it is to stick to the post, so as not to let someone take advantage of the chaos." ”
"In this way, no wonder Lu Ren said that there will be fewer opportunities to celebrate the New Year together in the future."
Lu Jian sighed, a little reluctant, "It's okay for the past two years, but it's far away in the future." He was referring to Ding Wei's return to the capital to resume his post, "Speaking of which, Ren'er is going to take office today, I don't know if the little ancestor has any instructions?" ”
"In such a hurry?" said that after the New Year, it is indeed the New Year now, "There is no instruction, Lu Ren is down-to-earth, there is nothing to worry about, but this gift is indispensable." ”
Lu Jian nodded, "I'm in a hurry, what does the little ancestor want to send?" ”
Lu Zhi didn't speak, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I thought you would tell me not to send it." ”
Lu Jian smiled, "It's all my own family, and I talk politely to the little ancestor, besides, the elders don't dare to resign, the little ancestor can think of Ren'er, it is Ren'er's honor." ”
"Come on, don't pour me ecstasy soup, go get the tools, I'll give him something with my own hands, I'm such a wise person, can I still not know your little thoughts?" As he spoke, he looked into the yard, "I remember how many pieces were used for tiptoeing, where did they go?" ”
Lu Jian's legs were no longer sore, his waist was no longer sore, and he brought a complete set of carpenter's tools in one go, Lu Zhi originally wanted to find some unused scraps, but who would have thought that Lu Jian would actually bring a large piece of fine wood, and then stood aside and bared his teeth.
Lu Zhi smiled and pointed at him, "You, you can't be so big, you just need to be so wide." Saying that, he drew a palm-sized square, and it was Lu Jian's business to take materials, he was only responsible for processing and polishing, the object was small, and the requirements were not high, so it was quickly formed.
Lu Zhi carried a palm-sized piece of wood, walked around the room, and finally found a table, slapped it fiercely, and scolded in his mouth, "Raise your head!" ”
Lu Jian was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Lu Zhi's side, only to feel an indescribable pressure squeezing over from all directions, if there was substance, it was like something pressing on his body, so that his breathing was a little difficult, "This...... This is? ”
Lu Zhi shrugged, "The baby who gave Lu Ren, it's a pity that I slept for too long, and my mana didn't have one out of ten, so I made such a defective product." Lu Jian was already in awe of him, and the effect was only like this, it seems that the future is still a long way.
Some ugly shocking wood, deterrence +9
Lu Zhi was quite dissatisfied with the evaluation given by the system, and he couldn't wait to pull it out of his brain and beat it.
Lu Jian was no longer stunned, ran to the table and picked up the trick that Jingtangmu loved to play, seeing that this posture didn't need to continue to polish, Lu Jian could just rely on a pair of meat palms to plate this shocking wood out of the pulp.
"Don't you prick?"
Lu Zhi reminded him, Lu Jian noticed the stinging pain, and he didn't know how many burrs were pricked in his palm, so he shook his head stiffly, "No, the little ancestor has exquisite craftsmanship, and the surface of this amazing wood is smooth, and it doesn't prick his hands at all." ”
As if in order to prove that what he said was the truth, he touched it vigorously in front of Lu Zhi, "Hey, no, don't prick." ”
Lv Zhi: "......"
Next, the sycophant Lu Jian went online, and he complimented Lu Zhi again, and Lu Zhi was forced to accept it again, and the corners of his mouth were crooked.
"My Lu family has a little ancestor, it's really blessed by the ancestors!" Lu Jian thought for a while, and said something wrong: "It is the blessing of the ancestors, and the little ancestors are the ancestors." ”
"Hey, little ancestor, don't go, I'm telling the truth."
What can Lu Zhi do, of course he knows that such an honest person as Lu Jian is telling the truth, but it's almost night, it's time to go home.
…………
Ten days later, the Lu family's old mansion has been determined that most craftsmen will not return.
Lu Zhi pulled Lu Ren to talk at night, "Big brother, the new official has three fires in office, you can't be gentle, you have to set up a target, and then do it vigorously." ”
Lu Ren also thought so, "You just say who to choose." ”
These days are all dealing with some trivial things, what the Zhang family lost the chicken, the Li family injured the cow, although it is very important to the people, but it is really not challenging.
"I look at Zhao Gongzi...... Those doglegs are good. ”
"Uh...... It's good. Lu Ren was startled when he heard it, and when he came up, he was a little too radical to make Zhao Gongzi, and when he heard that it was just a dog's leg, he calmed down, "The evidence of the crime is ready-made, it only takes some time to sort it out, and then it is a new case." ”
The yamen has never been an ornament, and all those who are guilty in Xuanwu City can more or less find some clues in the files, the question is whether anyone is willing to take the effort and time to investigate.
"I don't think the craftsmen in our workshop will come back, but they will be behind the scenes."
Lu Renyi frowned, "You're not good, this is a personal vendetta of the communiqué." ”
Lu Zhi shook his head and took out a roll of paper, "I want to sue Zhao Gongzi that he or his subordinates imprisoned the people privately, and may even have carried out inhumane persecution of these innocent people. ”
Lu Ren took it stupidly, "Can it still be like this?" ”
Lu Zhi squinted his eyes, "Why can't you?" Big brother, you are the official of the yamen, you must remember your duties, you must keep the peace of one side, and keep the peace of the other, now that your people have a request for you, you will not stand idly by, right? As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes, and there were no tears in his eyes.
Lu Ren chewed on Lu Zhi's words, "That's definitely not possible, but you're just suspicious, isn't it good to take people just by suspicion?" ”
"Big brother, then I have to teach you one more sentence, when you start to doubt, in fact, you already have the answer in your heart, do you think the craftsman's matter is really accidental?"
Lu Ren shook his head, "I'm not stupid. ”
"Besides, I didn't let you arrest it directly, investigate and collect evidence first, in case it really wasn't the Zhao family, and we didn't wronged him, our Lu family has always abided by the law."
"That's fine." Lu Ren insisted in his heart, it was the most enthusiastic time, he opened the paper to check, this glance, blank.
Lu Zhi threw something into his arms, "Give it to you, big brother, you can read and write it yourself." ”
Lu Ren: "??? ”
In fact, the shocking wood should have been sent a long time ago, but that day Lu Jian excused the baby too much, and he was afraid that Lu Zhi would be tired, so he took it all the way back to Lu's house, and then he didn't eat dinner, and played inside as soon as he closed the door, and Lu Zhi didn't come back until today.
The result is that the entire shocking wood was burned by Lu Jianpan without a trace of burrs.
