Chapter 90: There is really no bottom line
The magistrate opened meat in a vain attempt to scare off Xia and Qiu.
However, Xia Qiu was frightened, and her eyes rolled, "I can, or now?" "There is an inn just across the street, which is very convenient.
As she pointed, Lu Tingxiu's face turned green. The woman is wavering, and there is really no bottom line.
After all, the magistrate wants face, and he can't stand the teasing of Xia and Autumn with meat.
Defeated, he fled in embarrassment.
In fact, what Xia Qiu didn't know was that Wu Yu not only mustered up the courage to express his admiration all his life, but also had the courage to open his mouth to Lu Tingxiu, re-investigate Wu Laosan's case, and restore Wu Laosan's innocence.
The facts of Wu Laosan's case are clear and the procedures are complete, and overturning the case is nothing more than a waste of time, and Lu Tingxiu politely and clearly refused.
Xia Qiu is special to the Wu family, Lu Tingxiu once sent someone to investigate the Wu family privately, Wu Laosan has been abusing the Jin family mother and daughter for a long time, not only the methods are outrageous, but also unrepentant.
Wu Yu is afraid of Wu Laosan, as if she sees the king of Hades, and her stubbornness is more against Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu poured out his heart and lungs to the Wu family, Wu Yu was not only ungrateful but targeted everywhere, which had to fight with Wu Laosan.
No matter what, a man has no ability to beat his wife and children, and Lu Tingxiu has a deep understanding of domestic violence.
Wu Laosan was imprisoned and was not wronged.
Wu Yu's confession to Lu Tingxiu Chiguoguo, Xia Qiu was not jealous, but relieved.
She must admit that with a handsome man like Lu Tingxiu, how many women will sink into it. In addition, she had the grace of saving her life, although she got along briefly in her previous life, she also had thoughts of indifference.
Wu Yu dared to act, at least she had one less regret. If she had plucked up the courage to confess in her previous life, Lu Tingxiu would not hesitate to refuse.
Come to think of it, there's nothing unbalanced in my heart.
After being reprimanded, Wu Yu was at ease, and Xia Qiu's health was getting better day by day.
Daughter Wuyang, Jin returned to the Hanging Pot Medical Hall, but when he saw Xia Qiu again, his expression was not very natural, and his eyes were evasive.
Don't think about it, there must be another moth.
Xia Qiu didn't have a dislike for the Jin family, and after repeated questioning, the Jin family said: "Dongjia, did Wu Laosan go to prison for committing a crime?" ”
Sure enough, Xia Qiu didn't wake up Wu Yu, who was self-deceiving, didn't he come out to stir again.
Xia Qiu said bluntly, "Well, he stole more than 1,500 catties of grain from me with others, and the government sentenced him after verifying it." ”
"Yes!" The Jin family was angry, and said angrily: "The owner is right, for this kind of person who refuses to change his ways, he should stay in prison well." ”
Xia Qiu was surprised, thinking that she would be like Wu Yu, indiscriminately, and asked her to release her. It seems that the Jin family is much more open-minded than her.
Thinking that the grain was stolen at home, the Jin family had no face to face the owner, she regarded herself as a family, but the Wu family always caused trouble for her, and she felt that she was a dwarf.
"Aunt Jin, Wu Laosan has nothing to do with you, since he dares to do evil, he has to suffer the consequences."
To put it mildly, Wu Laosan has done a lot of evil deeds, and the Jin family hopes that he can be locked up in prison for a long time, and it is best to never see each other. However, he is not a peaceful person, and he has told people several times behind his back, wanting the mother and wife to visit him. To put it bluntly, it's not like I want to loot some money so that life in prison can be better.
The past has been cut in two, and the Jin family thinks very clearly, and will not wade into this troubled water again.
At this time, Lu Tingxiu really found an expert in silver tickets, the old Pan Tou who had been hidden for a long time.
Lao Pantou is already in his prime, and he has dealt with silver tickets all his life. The silver ticket is clear in your hand.
He touched the silver ticket, muttered for a moment, and said, "Lord Lu, I'm afraid this silver ticket has an article." ”
The layman looked at the excitement, and the insider looked at the doorway, Lu Tingxiu's guess came true, and said sincerely: "Please also ask Mr. Gao to see me." ”
Lao Pan Tou smiled mysteriously, "Please ask your adult to prepare half a liter of glutinous rice water, iodine wine, and plant ash." ”
Lu Tingxiu immediately ordered to go down, and Lao Pan Tou was engrossed in studying the silver ticket.
The things were quickly delivered, and Lao Pantou mixed glutinous rice water with iodine wine, soaked the silver ticket in water, and then took it out for about a quarter of an hour, separating a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wings and almost transparent.
He lightly placed the paper on the ashes wrapped in a gauze bag to absorb water, blotted it dry, put it on the fire to bake, and then lightly coated it with iodine wine, and the handwriting gradually appeared on the transparent paper.
Seeing the above content clearly, Lu Tingxiu's expression was calm.
Wang Xiancheng kept a hand in his work, and recorded in detail the whereabouts, prices, etc. of each batch of oil and iron powder, as well as the signatures of both parties.
Such a large number of contraband must be circulated through special channels. The best cover is through the hands of the oil shop and the ironware shop, which is not easy to arouse suspicion.
These two kinds of goods were strictly controlled by the imperial court, and they had to be allowed to sell them only with the permission of the government, so there were not many shops that operated. At the beginning of the case, Lu Tingxiu had sent someone to investigate, and judging from the visits and accounts, there was nothing abnormal.
Now that there is evidence in hand, Lu Tingxiu asked the catcher to go out quickly and surround the Sanji grocery store.
What is intriguing is that the boss behind the Sanji grocery store turned out to be Wu Tongxing.
Lu Tingxiu waited patiently in the yamen, but he was still one step slower, and the grocery store went to the empty building and did not find any useful clues.
Xu Mingliang was so annoyed that he cursed and said depressedly: "It's just a step late, I heard from the shops around me that Sanji was still open yesterday, and it will be gone today." ”
However, even if no one is caught, it is enough to confirm the crime of embezzlement and rebellion in Wang County.
Due to the special nature of Liangzhou, the imperial court may turn a blind eye to other matters and let the frontier vassal king deal with them, but the imperial court will never tolerate rebellion.
Therefore, none of the officials in Liangzhou dared to take the trouble into account.
As for the clues pointing to Wu Tongxing's rebellion, I think that someone in Muhou pointed out Wang Xiancheng, and the framing bureau did it very skillfully.
Around the afternoon, the lieutenant governor of Qingtian Town sent someone to report that a dead body had been found by the river.
Xu Mingliang took the arrester to the scene in person, and after inspecting the scene, he brought the body back to be handed over for autopsy.
He immediately reported to Lu Tingxiu, "My lord, the deceased in Qingtian Town was killed with a knife, and the method was very professional, it should be the killer's doing." The large amount of money and possessions carried by the deceased were not lost, and it is speculated that it was a vendetta or a killing. ”
It was a homicide case, Lu Tingxiu stopped his official business and went to the autopsy in person.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Tong, a soap servant, came to report the news, "My lord, the deceased is the owner of the Sanji grocery store, and I met him when I went to search that day. ”
He only found out when he was carrying the body in the autopsy room just now, and he came to report it immediately, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment.
The experience corpse, the shopkeeper of the Sanji grocery store, was cut by a knife, and the deceased didn't even have time to resist. I searched all over my body and found no clues about the murderer.
Whether it is absconding or extinguishing, the hands and feet are too clean, and it is definitely not done by ordinary people.
The forces behind Wang Xiancheng's case are inextricably linked, and it is far from being as simple as it seems.
