Lu Xuan's eyes glanced at the body of the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai, and the jailer immediately understood his meaning, and then waved the iron whip and flew towards him.

What followed was a scream from the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai: "Ouch, what do you officials say, you will beat people, there is no royal law in your eyes." ”

Lu Xuan snorted coldly when he heard this: It's really a shame that this kind of person still knows what the royal law is.

On the other hand, the jailer, Xu has been in the criminal department for a long time, and he unconsciously has a bad breath on his body-

"Wang Fa? Here we are the king! I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I will not give you a chance to speak again! ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai was stunned for a moment, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

Although Lu Xuan doesn't like the method of interrogating prisoners like the Criminal Department, it seems that it is more effective to deal with these ruffian-like people with violence.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan simply joined in and "aided the abuse":

"Who is this Jubao Zhai related to, presumably you are not the only one who knows, if you are unfortunate enough to confess here, this official still has a way to let others speak."

Lu Xuan's words made even several jailers startled.

Although the trial methods of the Criminal Department are cruel, they are also measured, at most, they make life worse than death, and Lu Xuan is directly planning to take people's lives?

The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai who was threatened was even more frightened, and hurriedly retorted to Lu Xuan: "Only I know about this matter, and you don't want to ask from others except me." ”

The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai thought that he was raising his value and forcing Lu Xuan not to dare to act rashly, but in fact, he had inadvertently exposed himself.

Lu Xuan instantly grasped the loophole in the words of the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai, and then asked him, "What did you just say?" What is it that only you know? ”

Does this count as a self-confession? Lu Xuan laughed contemptuously in his heart.

The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai turned his face instantly: "I didn't say anything, you heard it wrong, in short, you can't take my life casually." ”

Lu Xuan nodded: "Then play with you slowly, anyway, what the official has is patience." ”

After that, Lu Xuan immediately handed the "stage" to the jailer, only to see the jailer sprinkle a large handful of salt powder on the blood-soaked iron whip and swung it towards the prisoner's wound in a more ferocious posture.

The wound was already painful without treatment, but now the injury is not to mention, and it is still sprinkling salt on other people's wounds, this kind of thing is really only done by the Criminal Department.

The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai screamed heartbreakingly for a while, and Lu Xuan almost couldn't listen to it when he sat on the side.

until he was beaten unconscious and instantly woken up by cold water...... After rounds of torture, the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai finally lost his original backbone.

"I said, I said......" He begged for mercy weakly.

Lu Xuan got up and stepped forward: "Say, who is behind the support of Jubao Zhai's nonsense?" ”

"Yes, it's the only son of the soldier squire, and he is the one who threatens us with his family power to give him dividends, and he has also come up with those charlatans and deceitful mechanisms recently." So said the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai.

Lu Xuan really didn't understand, he didn't say anything about this for a long time, what was it worth being tortured like this kind of person.

The shopkeeper spoke again: "He relied on his power to control the wives and children of dozens of brothers in Jubaozhai, and some of them had wives and concubines, all of whom were ...... Alas. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan was simply annoyed, but he didn't expect that this person not only defrauded the people's money, but also did such a hooligan act of bullying men and women, which was really a great shame for the official family.

Lu Xuan couldn't bear it, and as he spoke, he turned around and went to report the evil deeds of the son of the squire of the military department.

But after thinking about it, the military department is protected by the prince, if there is no evidence, I am afraid that even if I go, it will be in vain, but it will startle the snake.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan calmed down again, and then turned his head to look at the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai: "How do I know if you are just looking for a scapegoat to cover up for someone?" ”

Lu Xuan asked this intentionally, and the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai instantly became anxious when he heard this: "I, I'm like this, how dare I deceive adults again, hiss~"

The wounds on his body were affected by the anger that ignited in the urgency, Lu Xuan naturally believed that what he said was true, but he still held back the compassion in his heart and put down a sentence of "empty words".

Only then did the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai remember something: "By the way, Jubao Zhai, behind the bookcase in my room, there is evidence to prove." ”

Lu Xuan immediately followed what the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai said all the way back to Jubaozhai, pushed open the bookcase and carefully flipped through the things hidden in the hidden compartment behind, and she immediately understood the meaning.

Now that there are human and material evidence, presumably even with the protection of the prince, the son of the squire of the military department will be to blame.

Lu Xuan hurriedly brought the witnesses and exhibits to Xu Chenhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, because this matter implicated the squire of the Ministry of War, it was necessary to go to the court to solve it.

When I first saw Lu Xuan, Xu Chenhao praised her greatly: "I thought this matter was very dangerous, but I didn't expect Lu Jieling Shi to find out in such a short period of time, which really lived up to expectations." ”

Listening to the words, everyone's expectations for Lu Xuan in the Criminal Department are quite high? Fortunately, this matter was not messed up.

Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and then leaned down: "Lord Shangshu praises falsely, this is the duty of the humble position, and it is not enough to worry about. ”

Young people are capable and know how to be humble, and they are really the juniors of the older generation of officials like Xu Chenhao who are quite admired in their hearts.

Only then did Lu Xuan tell Xu Chenhao the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

He has seen a lot of tricky or treacherous cases in the Criminal Department for many years, and Lu Xuan can see that he is tired of sitting in a smoky place like a gambling house for a long time, which is quite to his liking.

After understanding the cause and effect, Xu Chenhao was also full of anger, and instantly took the case: "It's really unreasonable, I didn't expect this Zhao Cangxun to commit murder like this." ”

Now Xu Chenhao is still acting as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Cangxun, as a squire of the Ministry of War, can be regarded as his direct subordinate, so he feels deeply disgusted by such aiding and abusive.

"It's a shame that the prince wanted to recommend him to be the secretary of the military department, but fortunately, Chen Langzhong tried his best to stop him, otherwise the entire military department would be destroyed in his hands." Xu Chenhao was furious and couldn't help mentioning the matter of the court in front of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan suddenly fell into deep thought: Chen Langzhong? Could it be Chen Weizhi? So can Xu Shangshu act as an agent of the Criminal Department or rely on his recommendation?

Originally, Lu Xuan thought that Chen Weizhi and Gu Huanli were incompatible, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to recommend Gu Huanli's person, which really surprised her.

After venting his anger, Xu Chenhao calmed down and looked at Lu Xuan: "Thanks to Lu Jielingshi this time, this official will explain this matter to His Majesty tomorrow, and he will definitely ask for credit for Lu Jielingshi." ”

Just promoted, and someone asks for credit for himself? Lu Xuan was simply flattered, and immediately leaned over to thank him.

On the other hand, after learning that Jubao Zhai's deceptive trick was exposed, and a group of stewards were also arrested and interrogated by the Criminal Department, Zhao Jinglun, the son of the servant of the Criminal Department, was suddenly panicked, and the Emperor Ji ran to his father for help.

"Dad, help me, help me!" As soon as Zhao Jinglun entered the door, he knelt all the way towards Zhao Cangxun, crying and shouting.

Zhao Cangxun has always known that his only son is unlearned and unskilled, and he became angry when he saw his unsuccessful appearance.

"What trouble are you giving me out there again?" Zhao Cangxun hates iron and does not become a steel road.

Zhao Jinglun hurriedly said: "Dad, Jubao Zhai has been seized by the Criminal Department, you must help me!" ”

Zhao Cangxun was surprised when he heard this: "What does a small gambling house have to do with you being seized?" It just so happens that I can quit your gambling sex, I can't ask for it. ”

Zhao Cangxun turned around and put his hands behind his back as he spoke, until Zhao Jinglun cried unrelentingly: "Dad, what the Criminal Department is investigating this time is Jubao Zhai's fraud of people's wealth!" That's, that'......"

"No matter how he checks, defrauding the people's wealth is also a matter of Jubaozhai, and it's not you who cheat, what are you anxious about." Zhao Cangxun said such a sentence casually, but when he saw the look on Zhao Jinglun's face, he was suddenly shocked.

Zhao Cangxun couldn't help but have a thought in his heart that made him sincerely afraid, and he thought about it for a long time before asking: "Is this really related to you?" ”

Zhao Jinglun nodded: "I taught the method of deception, and I forced them to do it, I am worried that the shopkeeper will confess to me during the interrogation of the Criminal Department, Dad, I really don't know what to do!" ”

The more Zhao Jinglun spoke, the more panicked he became, and Zhao Cangxun, who learned the situation, was even more annoyed and angry, and he couldn't beat this unsuccessful guy to death with one palm, but who called this the only son of his Zhao family? After all, I still can't make such a ruthless hand.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Cangxun scolded angrily: "You rebel, you don't learn and don't know how to do it on weekdays, how dare you violate the law so blatantly?" How do I protect you? ”

Seeing that his father had said such things, Zhao Jinglun was suddenly frightened and trembled: "Dad, you can't ignore the child, the child is the only descendant of our Zhao family!" ”

These words undoubtedly touched Zhao Cangxun's heart, he suddenly fell into deep thought, hesitated for a long time before forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart and asked: "Do you have any evidence left for colluding with Ju Bao Zhai?" ”

Zhao Jinglun shook his head: "The children are all sent to hand over the handover between the head of the house and the shopkeeper, and they have never left physical evidence." ”

"Since there is no physical evidence, let them say it, after all, there is no evidence, and Your Majesty will not believe it all." Zhao Cangxun, the old fox, really wanted to use this as an excuse to hide the crime for his precious son.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan was witty, and he presented the evidence to Xu Chenhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, early in the morning.

Zhao Cangxun didn't expect it, the matter had come to this point, he could only ask Zhao Jinglun to go outside to avoid the limelight for the time being, and he wanted to resolutely hide it for him.

The next morning, the prince's faction still didn't know anything about Jubaozhai, and Xu Chenhao had resolutely stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister has this book." ”

Seeing Xu Chenhao step forward, Zhao Cangxun's heart suddenly tightened - Xu Chenhao is now not only Zhao Cangxun's top superior, but also a person from the Criminal Department.

Zhao Cangxun's heart was raised to his throat, and his whole body couldn't help trembling.
