Chapter 442: Eliminating Evil (4)
Luo Yongkang was still not up yet, and the maid was waiting outside and didn't dare to go in to call him. If you want to make him angry, you can't escape with a board.
When Luo Lu came over, he heard that he hadn't gotten up yet, so he shouted outside: "Master, the eldest master said that he had something to discuss with you, please come over." ”
If it was normal, Luo Yongkang would have been scolded by someone who woke him up, but today is very weird. There was not a single movement in the room. Luo Lu screamed three times in a row, but it was still quiet inside.
Feeling that something was wrong, Luo Lu boldly walked in, and when he entered the house, he smelled blood. When he saw that the situation was not good, he ran to the side of the bed, and saw Luo Yongkang lying upright on the bed.
"Grandpa......"
Luo Yongkang was killed in bed, and the news quickly spread throughout Jinling.
The eldest lord of the Luo family was extremely sad and angry, not only pressured the government to let them arrest the murderer, but also issued a heavy reward. As long as the murderer is caught, the reward is 50,000 taels of silver.
It's a pity that no one in the Luo family saw the murderer. Even if the government and the Luo family worked together to turn over the entire Jinling, they didn't find any useful clues.
And the high-ranking officials in Jinling and those powerful people were terrified when they heard this.
For example, the Governor's Palace, which has strengthened its defenses since this incident. Nowadays, the Governor's Palace is not only patrolled at night, but also in the front and back yards. Once someone is found to be negligent in their duties, dozing off or playing cards, they will first play a board and then sell it. This time, there was no emotion.
With such a big movement, it was difficult for Zhu Huanxi to think about it: "What did you say, sneaking into the house and killing people?" ”
Chunmei said: "Yes! The murderer sneaked to Luo's house and killed Luo San. I heard that I cut my throat, and the blood flowed all over the ground. Girl, what do you say he has with the third master of the Luo family, and he wants to commit such a poisonous act? ”
Zhu Hanxi couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" It is estimated that no one knows about this except the murderer. But you're right, it's impossible for this person to kill Luo Yongkang for no reason. There must be a feud, and it is a blood feud. ”
Soon there were rumors in Jinling that Luo Yongkang liked to abuse children, and he had killed many people over the years.
At first, the rumors spread on a small scale, but they soon spread widely. Many people have heard that this kind of person is innocent, and the person who kills him is doing harm to the people.
Not long after, an old woman knocked on the door of the prefect's mansion and complained about it. The old woman sued a servant named Hammer in Luofu for kidnapping her granddaughter. Now, six years later, her grandson is still nowhere to be found.
The prefect took her paper and immediately sent someone to grab the hammer.
This sends a very bad signal. When Mrs. Luo Da found out, she was uneasy.
Luo Jingshu saw Mrs. Luo's uneasy appearance and said, "Auntie, you don't have to worry, I believe that the government will soon be able to return the third uncle's innocence." ”
Mrs. Luo nodded and said, "You are right, the government will be able to repay our ...... soon." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw the chief butler hurriedly walk in and said, "Madam, Mrs. is not good, someone from the prefect's yamen said to take Luo Lu away." ”
Mrs. Luo's face turned pale: "What about the master?" Where is the master? ”
"The master is outside and hasn't come back yet."
Even if Mrs. Luo personally came forward to stop it, it was useless, Luo Lu was still arrested by the prefect's yamen.
Luo Lu's mouth was very tight, and when he went to court, he only bit it to death, saying that Luo Yongkang was a serious businessman and had never done anything illegal and undisciplined. As for the abduction of the daughter of a good family, it is even more false.
When he couldn't ask anything in the lobby, the prefect temporarily detained him.
Master Luo went to ask to see the prefect, but unfortunately this time the prefect did not come out to see him as usual. Instead, he sent the master to come forward, and he himself stayed in the back hall.
The master and Master Luo had an official conversation for a long time, and the purchase politely sent people away.
After returning to the back hall, the master said to Huo Zhifu: "My lord, after all, the Luo family has the support of King Xin, and we can't afford to offend." ”
He also noticed that the prefect's attitude had changed, so he specially reminded him. If you annoy King Xin, your own black gauze hat will not be protected.
Huo Zhifu said: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if Luo Yongkang really harms countless people, this official must handle it impartially, so that he can be worthy of the black gauze hat on his head." ”
The master still wanted to persuade him again, but unfortunately Huo Zhifu didn't want to listen to him anymore: "You go with me to interrogate this Luo Lu." ”
He doesn't know what's at stake. But compared with the black gauze hat, he cherishes his head more.
On the night Luo Yongkang died, someone shot a dart into his room. There was a note stuck in the dart that said that if he could not avenge the people, he would come and take his dog's life.
The other party can kill Luo Yongkang silently in the courtyard of the deep house, if he wants to kill him, Huo Zhifu can't escape by himself.
If you offend the king of faith, you will lose your black gauze hat at most, but if you don't do what the mysterious man says, he will not be able to protect his head.
Luo Lu couldn't resist torture and confessed what Luo Yongkang had done over the years.
When Governor Huo got the confession, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He only heard that Luo Yongkang likes beautiful children, but he didn't expect him to be so cruel.
More than 30 lives, this has to cause panic if it is to be spread. Panic is still a trivial matter, and he can't eat and walk around if he wants to be investigated. But thinking of the dart, Huo Zhifu hesitated for a while.
The master was also frightened, and looked at his hesitant appearance and said, "My lord, this matter can't be spread out!" ”
Just when Governor Huo couldn't make up his mind, Governor Lin's henchmen came over.
Soon, the case was closed. The granddaughter of the old woman was indeed taken away by a hammer, but this matter has nothing to do with Luo Yongkang, all of this was instructed by Luo Lu.
Luo Lu also confessed to this, and soon signed the pledge.
Zhu Huanxi didn't believe this result, she asked Mrs. Zhu: "Grandmother, what did Luo Lu do when he kidnapped the little girl?" Also, does this really have nothing to do with Luo Yongkang? ”
It's dirty here, Mrs. Zhu doesn't dare to say to Zhu Huanxi: "That little girl is very beautiful, Luo Lu took him away and sold him to other places." ”
Zhu Huanxi immediately said: "Grandmother, the Luo family is an imperial businessman, why do you still start a business of human trafficking?" ”
"It's just Luo Lu's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with the Luo family."
No matter how simple Zhu Huanxi is, it is impossible to believe this statement: "Grandmother, what is going on here?" ”
"Don't ask about that. Tomorrow you go to Qixia Temple with your grandmother, and we will go to offer incense to the Bodhisattva, and pray for your grandfather by the way. ”
As soon as Zhu Huanxi heard it, he knew that there was something dirty in it: "Grandmother, why didn't grandfather investigate this matter thoroughly?" ”
Seeing her break the casserole and ask to the end, Mrs. Zhu had to say: "Lin Fu personally came forward to suppress this case, how can your grandfather interfere again." If you want to intervene, isn't it fighting with Governor Lin. ”
Zhu Xi's complexion changed slightly, and Governor Lin's sister was King Xin's side concubine. If he wants to protect the Luo family, others are really difficult to move. Even his grandfather had to give a few thin noodles.
