Lu Fuzhi raised his head in astonishment and asked the person in disbelief: "What did you say?!" ”

Zuo Zhaozhi, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple who was sitting on the right seat, couldn't help but smile: "There is such a thing? It was really unexpected. ”

He turned his head to look at Lu Fuzhi, "You deliberately detained the Wen family in an attempt to block Xie Pu's source, so that he could continue to be deceived by the Cao family and fall into the trap of the Cao family, and then take the opportunity to find out the secrets of the Cao family." This abacus was originally quite loud, but it is a pity that asking a child to visit the prison broke your calculation. Who told you to despise children? Have you eaten soft-shelled turtles now? Xie Pu is not a stupid person, beware that he guesses your intentions and turns around to complain about you! ”

Lu Fuzhi said disapprerovingly: "I want him to fall for the Cao family, but it's just to let the boss know that he is really innocent, and he was completely used and coaxed, not that he had already colluded with the Cao family." I'm doing this for his good. He will be exonerated in the future, and it will be too late to thank me, so how can he complain about me? ”

He refuted his boss a few words, and couldn't help but ask the person standing in front of the hall again: "The surname is Jiang, you tell me again, what did Xie Pu and Wen's daughter say to Xie Pu in prison?" The Cao family had an affair with Fang Wenshan?! Then what Li Changsheng's letter was forged by Ping Nanbo and Fang Wenshan to frame Xie Pu?! ”

"Brother Jiang" walked to the chair opposite him and sat down expressionlessly, slightly tidied up the folds of his black hem, and then said unhurriedly: "I have ordered someone to record the relevant confession, whether it is true or false, I will find out when I go back and ask someone to check it." Lu Shaoqing has bad ears, let's find a doctor to take a look when I go back, take medicine when I need to, don't shy away from medical treatment. ”

"Okay, you Jiang Xiaoquan! Are you deliberately scolding me?! Lu Fuzhi's face flushed with anger, "What's the big deal?" I'm just asking you for convenience. If it's not good, you can also ask Xie Pu! If you don't want to say it, forget it, you can ask me to go and look at the case file, can you be a disgusting person?!

Jiang Xiaoquan ignored him, and only turned his head to look at Zuo Zhaozhi: "Lord Zhengqing, I need to report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible." Xie Pu also asked the adults to arrange the interrogation as soon as possible. After Xie Pu saw his children, he knew the truth in his heart, and his heart was surging, and now was a good time for interrogation. The adults should also ask all the incomprehensible points to understand, so as to solve the doubts in the emperor's heart. ”

Zuo Zhaozhi smiled and replied solemnly: "Jiang Qianhu, please rest assured." Once the result of the trial is determined, the official will immediately send the confession to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and Jiang Qianhu will forward it to the emperor. ”

Jiang Xiaoquan nodded, and this party turned his head to look at Lu Fuzhi: "The letter that the Cao family said has never seen a shadow so far, is it because the people of Dali Temple are incompetent and have not been able to find it from Xie Mansion for a long time, or have they already let Xie Pu's three daughters destroy it?" I hope that Lu Shaoqing will investigate this matter as soon as possible. Whether the letter is true or not, it is only in the letter itself that we can determine. Moreover, if this letter is true, what is the relationship between Xie Pu and Li Changsheng still needs to be investigated; If the letter is false, who is the forger? How many letters were forged, and what were the contents? Where is it hiding now? The Cao family wants to borrow these fake letters, who will they attack? All these questions need to be investigated clearly and reported to the emperor. ”

Lu Fuzhi pouted: "Got it." If you don't say these things, I will do them, do you need to be verbose? ”

Jiang Xiaoquan glanced at him with suspicion a few times, looked at the person, and then looked away.

Lu Fuzhi was so provoked by him, and immediately made a military order: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to find out about this case!" If I am really incompetent, let the Cao family be blinded, can't find out the results, and can't give an answer that satisfies the emperor, I will resign! I do what I say! ”

Jiang Xiaoquan was still expressionless: "I wish you all the best." ”

Lu Fuzhi saw his understatement, and became even more angry, and immediately packed up the file in front of him and got up: "I'll go to see Xie Pu in prison!" His wife Wen Shi said a lot of details on the Xie family's accounts, and when I look for Xie Pu to verify it, and then compare your Jinyiwei's files, I can feel the traces of where the silver was used after the Pingnan Bo Mansion received it. In this world, you are not the only one surnamed Jiang who can investigate the case, and I will not lose to you! ”

He angrily hugged the case file and left, but Jiang Xiaoquan still looked calm, and even picked up the tea bowl unhurriedly and took a sip of tea.

Zuo Zhaozhi glanced at him amusedly, shook his head, and said slowly: "Fu Zhi is smart and capable, but his temperament is more straightforward. The pacification envoy has known him for many years and has a deep friendship, knowing that he has such a temper, why do you always make him angry? ”

Jiang Xiaoquan said lightly: "Lord Zuo's words are wrong. Jiang served as the envoy of Jinyi Wei, only loyal to the emperor, and never made friends with hundreds of officials, so how could he have a deep friendship with Lu Shaoqing? Lu Shaoqing just lost his temper for a while, Jiang just said something straightforward, not deliberately angry with anyone. ”

Zuo Zhaozhi smiled and didn't say anything, only continued to discuss Xie Pu's case with Jiang Xiaoquan. However, although the Jinyiwei represented by Jiang Xiaoquan intervened in the case for a short time, he had already found out some news that Dali Temple had not found, which surprised Zuo Zhaozhi.

It turned out that Li Changsheng, who corresponded with Xie Pu in the mouth of the Cao family, not only relied on Lin Dongnan, the governor of Hedong River, for many years, but also was an expert in accounting under the latter, and had the right to meddle in the money and grain affairs of the Hedong River Yamen. However, in addition to the suicide note he left behind, there is no other evidence to prove that he participated in the Hegong silver corruption case, and his hands and feet are quite clean on weekdays, so he was quite trusted by Lin Dongnan.

He and Xie Pu met many years ago, and after careful investigation, he and Xie Pu were on the same list as the government examination and the hospital examination. At Li Changsheng's age at the time, he became a talent before the age of eighteen, and it can be said that he was talented. It's just that after that, he participated in several township exams and repeatedly failed to make the list, and since then he has been out of the crowd, compared with Xie Pu, who successfully passed the examination all the way to raise people and jinshi, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

An official who knew Xie Pu and Li Changsheng at the same time revealed that the two met after the county examination and were already friends during the government examination. Xie Pu not only paid for the accommodation expenses for Li Changsheng, who was in the middle of the family, but also introduced him to his second uncle, to Shihanlin Xie Zechuan, and asked Xie Zechuan to guide Li Changsheng's homework and articles to help him pass the college examination successfully.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and soon after the hospital test, the two had a bad relationship. Xie Zechuan wrote a letter of recommendation for Li Changsheng, recommending him to study at the Shigu Academy in Hengzhou. The letter of recommendation was sent by Xie Pu personally, but it was torn up by Li Changsheng in public, openly claiming that he did not need to rely on the Xie family, and he could also rely on himself to be promoted and jinshi, and he did not want to be fed by the mouth. It is said that he wanted to scold more at that time, but Xie Pu couldn't help it, and knocked the person unconscious with a punch before he stopped him.

When Li Changsheng left Huyin County, he heard that he was quite embarrassed, and the local scholars thought that he would take revenge and did not know what to do. Some people also heard from his relatives and friends that a few years later, when he repeatedly failed to try, they claimed that the Xie family bribed the examiner and deliberately hindered his future. However, Xie Zechuan had died of illness at that time, and Xie Pu was working as a county magistrate in a remote place, where could he be hindered? He just lacks talent, but he doesn't know how to reflect on himself, he only knows how to complain about others......

Li Changsheng's whereabouts were unknown later, and when he heard from him again, he was already a Mu official by Lin Dongnan's side. Although he can't be called a confidant, because he has a good ability to manage accounts, he is also valued under Lin Dongnan, but it is not very conspicuous. This time, he suddenly left a suicide note, committed suicide in fear of crime, implicated Lin Dongnan, and even the Lin family was caught off guard.

Since Xie Pu had a bad relationship with him, it was impossible for him to conspire with him to embezzle the money of the river workers. It's just that if the content of the letter was fabricated by the Cao family, how did they know that Xie Pu and Li Changsheng knew each other? If Xie Pu is innocent, then is Li Changsheng guilty?

Zuo Zhaozhi and Jiang Xiaoquan glanced at each other, and felt that the mysteries of this case were repeated one after another, and there were still many places for them to investigate.
