Fat Zhixian only then remembered, two days ago, it was true that Zhejiang Patrol supervised the imperial history Zuo Xianzuo passed by here, although the officialdom colleagues did not look up and looked down, but this Zuo Xian was terminally ill and will die soon, and it is useless to set him closely, not to mention that he stayed for a night and left in a hurry, and he didn't come to see him, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's Zuo Xian Zuo!" Don't...... Could it be that Lord Zuo was killed? "Now Fat Zhixian really wants to die, just now the gangsters set fire to the post station, and now there is a court official who was killed by the gangsters on the way back to his hometown, he is indeed wearing this black yarn to the head, whether the head can be kept or not has to be said! Hurriedly grabbed Zhu Yixiang's sleeve and begged: "Brother Zhu, this time you have to save my brother, you can spend as much money as you want, as long as you can save my life!" ”

As soon as Zhu Yixiang heard that this fat Zhixian was begging for himself again, he couldn't help but tease him again, pinched his thumb and index finger in front of him, and said faintly: "If you want to save your little life, you have to ...... One hundred and eighty thousand! ”

"One hundred and eighty thousand?" Fat Zhixian panicked, "Where can I get so much silver?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yixiang slowly added two words: "Gold!" ”

Fat Zhixian's head sank, and he almost fainted, but fortunately, the master supported him behind him, so he didn't let him fall a lot.

At this time, Hu Shibai came back, and when he saw Zhu Yixiang, he came over and said, "Lord Qianhu asked me to come and see you, and if I wake up, I will bring you over!" When he saw the magistrate, he said, "Since the magistrate has also arrived, let's go over together!" ”

Zhu Yixiang hurriedly said: "I won't go, I won't go, I just heard that you dug a dead man in a big pit over there, Lu Qianhu is a living king of Hades, any cow, ghost, snake and god can be suppressed, I am timid, what did I do in the past?" ”

"Lord Qianhu called you over, of course not to see the dead!" As he spoke, he pulled up Zhu Yixiang's sleeve and dragged him over.

Several lieutenants dug a big pit on the ground, in addition to the broken corpses and damaged carriages and horses buried in the pit, the still intact corpses were covered with white cloth and placed in a row on the ground, there were more than 20 bodies, Lu Yan was inspecting the other items dug out of the pit, his face was gloomy and very ugly.

Seeing such a big formation, Fat Zhixian was dizzy, and he was about to faint again, at this time Lu Yan opened his mouth and called him: "Lord Zhixian!" ”

Hearing Yan Luo speak, Fat Zhixian didn't dare to faint even if he wanted to, his face turned white, and he stepped forward tremblingly and asked cautiously: "I don't know what Lord Qianhu ordered to call the lower officials?" ”

"Did any officials pass through your county a few days ago?"

Fortunately, Zhu Yixiang asked this question just now, and Fat Zhixian was prepared at this time, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, two days ago, Lord Zuo Xianzuo, the governor of Zhejiang, resigned and returned to his hometown, passed through the territory of this county, and stayed at the post station for one night. ”

"Lord Zuo?" Hearing Zuo Xian's name, Lu Yan's face was gloomy and added another point, "Sure enough, it's Lord Zuo!" ”

Hearing that the murder was really Zhejiang Patrol according to the supervision of the imperial history Zuoxian, Fat Zhixian was a flower in front of his eyes, this time he was really going to faint, although the supervision of the imperial history is seven products, but it is called \"Patrol hunting on behalf of the Son of Heaven\", major events are judged, small matters are decided, although the official position is not high, but the power is quite heavy.

The superintendent Yushi was killed in the territory under his jurisdiction, this is really to lose his head" Lord Zuo Xian is also passing by in this county, why did the upper errand conclude that it was Lord Zuo who was killed? ”

"Although I don't dare to say for sure, I found the personal seal of Lord Zuo Xianzuo on the body of a headless male corpse in the carriage!"

Fat Zhixian's body was weak and spread on the ground, no matter how the master helped him this time, he couldn't pick him up from the ground!

At this time, Lu Yan spoke, "Master Pan, instead of giving up on yourself here, it is better to think about how to make amends, or it may not be too late!" ”

When Fat Zhixian heard Lu Yan's words, he seemed to have a turning point, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "Ask Lord Qianhu to show the way to Xiaguan, and in the future, Lord Qianhu will be Xiaguan's reborn parents......

Lu Yan rubbed his forehead a little helplessly, and said: "Judging from the knife marks on these corpses, the bandits are using Japanese knives, which may be the same group of people who robbed the military salary in Duyunpu, you gather the officials of the county government and search the nearby mountains to see if you can find Lord Zuo's head!" In addition, several nearby counties were notified to closely investigate the passers-by, and if they could provide traces of this gang of would-be robbers, it would be a great achievement! ”

As soon as he heard the word "Wokou", Fat Zhixian was very frightened, "What...... How can there still be a wolf? Aren't the Japanese Kou fighting General Qi in Fujian? ”

"It should be a small group of widows, don't panic!"

This fat Zhixian was a little relieved, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qianhu let go, the lower officials will definitely do their best to atone for their sins!" After saying that, he went down in a panic and set it up.

After arranging the magistrate, Lu Yan looked at Zhu Yixiang, who was closing his eyes on the side, and said, "Come here and help me identify these things!" ”

Zhu Yixiang didn't open his eyes, so he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to excuse himself: "Lord Qianhu, the little one is cowardly, and he can't look at the dead!" You have a lot of adults, don't be embarrassed! ”

At this time, Lu Yan was exhausted, and he was too lazy to talk to him, so he stepped forward and dragged Zhu Yixiang over, and Zhu Yixiang screamed and fell into a pile of debris. Lu Yan glared at him, so frightened that he took the second half of the scream back into his throat.

Lu Yan threw a pair of beautifully framed scroll calligraphy and paintings on Zhu Yixiang's body, and said: "Looking at the imposing brushwork of this painting, it is not ordinary, it should be from the hand of a famous artist, you may recognize it?" ”

Zhu Yixiang only glanced at it, and then he was shocked, and he was holding this painting in fear as if he was holding some treasure in the world.

In the painting is a cluster of Mo Lan, splashing ink techniques, the atmosphere is surging, and a poem is inscribed next to it: Mo Xiao Spring does not belong to Nong, a fragrance is enough to suppress a thousand red. The general order is to take off Han Niang's sleeves, not to be a human brain.

"Lord Qianhu, this person, you should know!"

Lu Yan said strangely: "How would I know? ”

"Isn't it written on this inscription?" Qingteng Taoist priest', this is the true work of Xu Wei and Xu Wenqing! Where did you find it? ”

"Xu Wei?" Lu Yan frowned, he knows Xu Wei, there are not many people in the world who are truly talented and learned, Xu Wei is one! "It was found near this burial pit" such a picture appeared at the scene of the murder, which is very puzzling!

"Could it be that Lord Qianhu suspects that this Xu Wenqing has something to do with this case? I don't think so, Xu Wenqing is famous, many dignitaries do not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars to buy his calligraphy and paintings, see this painting is so beautifully framed, and when someone's beloved thing is accidentally thrown here......"

Lu Yan sneered: "Accidentally thrown near the big pit where the corpse is buried in this barren mountain and wild mountain?" Do you believe it? ”

"I ......" Zhu Yixiang was dumbfounded, and muttered in a low voice: "I naturally don't believe in such a coincidence!" ”

"Do you know this Xu Wei?" Lu Yan asked.

Hearing him ask, Zhu Yixiang was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't know, I don't know ......."

"Then you're trying so hard to defend him?"

Zhu Yixiang smiled and said, "I know Xu Wenqing, but Xu Wenqing doesn't know me!" He's so famous, I just worship him! ”

Zhu Yixiang glanced at him meaningfully, then withdrew his gaze and went to do something else.

Zhu Yixiang's little heart was raised in his throat, he naturally believed that his idol was by no means a wrongdoer, Xu Wenqing was Hu Zongxian's adviser, and it was the Japanese who killed Zuo Xian's line, so if he had to make trouble unreasonably saying that Xu Wei colluded with the Japanese Kou, it would also make sense, pull out the radish and put the mud on it, and give Xu Wei a charge of being a gangster, and Hu Zongxian must be implicated!

This Lu Qianhu hates all the people related to Yan Song to the core, he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in the investigation and punishment of Yan Song's henchmen and has been promoted all the way to this position, so should he want to use this painting to send Hu Zongxian, who has been deposed at home, to the edict prison, right?

Zhu Yixiang looked at Lu Qianhu who was checking the clues, and couldn't help but feel desolate for these ministers who sincerely worked for the imperial court.

Heaven is unfair, where is the reason of heaven?

As soon as Lu Yan turned around, he saw Zhu Yixiang looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, as if he had some insight into life, so he asked, "What do you want?" ”

Zhu Yixiang hurriedly recovered from his life perception and replied: "The villain thinks again, if the widows who killed Lord Zuo and robbed the military salary were in the same group, then why did they come to Fengle County?" He also killed Lord Zuo Xian, who resigned and returned to his hometown? ”

"What do you want to say?"
