Chapter 448: Cowardly Rat
Lu Heng is holding these in his hand now.
It is some information that Li Tao has secretly collected in the past few days.
It mainly includes some people who may be involved in Qiguangzu.
and after he was arrested and put in prison at the Ministry of Punishment, his wife and children reacted.
When I saw the information that it said, after Qiguang Zu was arrested.
Not only did Qiguangzu's wife not manage to rescue.
On the contrary, he disappeared from Chang'an City before Qiguangzu died in prison.
Lu Heng couldn't help but groan.
After thinking for a while, Lu Heng asked Li Tao:
"Have you sent someone to check the whereabouts of his wife and children?"
Li Tao nodded, "I'm checking, but it's only been a few days, and you're worried about startling the snake, so there's been no progress." ”
"But now it has been found out that his wife is from Mingzhou."
"So I also sent someone to Mingzhou to investigate."
"It shouldn't be long before there will be results."
For Li Tao's optimistic estimate, Lu Heng couldn't agree.
He pointed to the information in his hand and said:
"I guess the people you sent to Mingzhou won't find out anything."
"Normally, after Qiguangzu was arrested, his wife should have been looking around for a relationship as soon as possible."
"Don't care if you can get the person out right away, at least you can make him suffer less in prison."
"Qiguang Ancestor has been guarding and stealing from the weapons prison for so many years."
"You can't have no savings at home."
"But since his wife didn't do it, then I guess someone gave her a package ticket behind her back."
"Let her feel that Qiguang Ancestor has a big man taking care of her, so she is waiting for peace of mind."
Lu Heng sighed when he said this, "It's just that I guess she didn't expect that what she was waiting for would be such a result in the end." ”
After Li Tao listened, his face gradually became solemn.
Because if Lu Heng's guess is correct.
Then Qiguangzu's wife is likely to be an important clue to know the inside story.
And that clue is now gone.
Then it is very likely that those people who were involved in Qiguang Ancestor were killed!
Li Tao frowned and asked, "Then according to what you said, Qiguang Ancestor's wife may have been killed?" ”
Lu Heng thought for a while, nodded slowly and said:
"I think it's very likely."
"It's just that since Qiguangzu's wife may know the inside story, then this clue can't be broken."
"If we can find out something, maybe it will be an absolute factor!"
Li Tao nodded with a straight face and agreed, "Okay, then I'll send a letter to the people over there in Mingzhou and ask them to hurry up and check." ”
"Qiguangzu and his wife are such a woman's family, and the pillar of the family is arrested, and he will definitely ask his mother's family for help."
"Even if you can't find anyone at that time, there will definitely be some clues!"
After discussing the important clue of Qiguang Zu's wife.
Lu Heng looked at the other information in his hand that did not play a decisive role.
Standing up and sighing, he said:
"Hey, now it seems that I still have to go to the king of Jiangxia County."
"His own nephew was arrested by me in Qizhou, I hope he won't resent me for it."
Lu Heng sighed in his mouth.
But he doesn't regret it.
According to his temperament, since he has encountered a cyst like Li Jingyi, a fish and flesh people.
Not to mention that it may offend Li Daozong.
Even if he would offend Li Er, Lu Heng should still make a move.
Let him be like Wang Chong at the beginning, when nothing happened, it was impossible.
Came out of the military headquarters where Li Tao was.
Lu Heng turned around and walked two streets, and came directly to the outside of the yamen of the Criminal Department.
After revealing his identity, he directly asked people to report to Li Daozong.
And in the yamen of the Criminal Department, Li Daozong was holding a straight face at this time and didn't know what he was thinking.
In the entire huge room, only a man sitting opposite Li Daozong was chattering.
"Big brother, even if Jingyi is arrogant on weekdays, he is not the kind of heinous person!"
"This time, he was indeed ignorant, so he first went to Lu Yuma's construction site to cause trouble, and injured Lu Yuma's workers."
"But now Lu Juma let that Wang Chong bite Jingyi and hold on."
"Not only was he directly sentenced to prison and imprisoned, but now he is also sending people everywhere to weave Jingyi's crimes, I really want to kill Jingyi!"
"I am an officer-in-waiting, and I have no grievances with that Lu Heng in the past."
"Lu Heng is holding on to Jingyi like this, I'm afraid he wants to ......"
At this time, the middle-aged man opposite Li Daozong was not a bystander.
It is Li Daozong's younger brother Li Daoxing.
Although Li Daoxing did not have any official position at this time, he only had one title as the Duke of Guangning County.
But judging from his luxurious clothes, his life in Chang'an City should be relatively comfortable.
It's just that no matter how gorgeous the clothes are.
Li Daoxing gives people a sense of cowardice, and he doesn't look like a royal relative with a noble background at all.
This cowardice is not just about his appearance.
It's more important to mention his demeanor.
For example, when he was talking to Li Daozong at this time.
Although the words in his mouth have not stopped, his eyes have been dodging.
just used his spare eyes to quietly look at his eldest brother's expression from time to time.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a thief.
When Li Daozong, who had been black-faced, heard this, he directly interrupted his younger brother in a cold voice,
"Lu Pony is not that kind of person."
"You have no grudge against him, and I have never sinned against him."
"On the contrary, in the matter of Tubo's request for peace, Lu Risheng also helped his brother."
"As for Jingyi's matter......"
After Li Daozong pondered for a while, he slowly spoke up and questioned his younger brother:
"Since you've come to me for help, tell me the truth."
"Have you and Jingyi forcibly occupied the people's fields in Qizhou all these years?"
"If not, I can go to the land horse for you right now!"
Facing his eldest brother's questioning, Li Daoxing seemed to be frightened.
He hesitated for a while while and then said:
"How can I, me, and Jingyi do the matter of forcibly occupying land......
"It's just that over the years, Jingyi and I have indeed bought some land."
Speaking of which, he seems to have gained courage again.
emphasized to Li Daozong: "But those lands were bought by me and Jingyi with money, and they were all paid for!" ”
In fact, hearing this, Li Daozong's heart had already sunk.
Li Daozong himself was a member of the local high-ranking family, and he had a clear understanding of the methods of the local gentry who were powerful and powerful to annex the land of the common people.
Normally, in a year when there are no disasters and no disasters.
No common man will sell the land on which he depends for his survival.
And if these gentry want it, they can only use some shady means to persecute and kill the people.
It will not stop until those people are forced to live and sell the land in their hands.
It's just that he didn't expect anything.
is his own brother who has been timid since he was a child.
One day I would have the courage to do such a thing!
