Zhu Long came back from the schoolyard in the west of the city, chatted with Xiao Rang as he walked, talking about the possible reaction of the imperial court, and when he walked to the door of the mansion, he saw a young scholar waiting at the door.

He felt that this man was somewhat familiar, and was about to interrogate him, when the scholar stepped forward, came to him, and bowed down.

Zhu Long was very surprised and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, and why did you make this great gift to Zhu?" By all means, please get up! ”

He wanted to help this scholar up, but Lu Fang was already separated between them for the first time.

"Engong, Xiaosheng is Fan Xiu! You were the one who released me from prison! ”

Zhu Long suddenly remembered everything, not that he had a bad memory, but that Fan Xiu in front of him and the one in the prison were like two people.

When Zhu Long saw Fan Xiu in the prison, he had been in prison for more than half a year, tortured, haggard, dirty and sloppy, even if his mother came, he couldn't recognize him.

Now he was dressed in a moon-white robe, handsome as a bamboo, but his face was a little pale.

"Brother Fan, please get up! Let's go inside and talk! ”

"Engong, five days ago, you released me from prison, not only saved me, but also saved my mother, you are the lifesaver of our whole family!" Fan Xiu still knelt on the ground, grateful.

"I know that Brother Fan was wronged, and he has suffered a lot in vain!" Zhu Long sighed.

"Engong is discerning and resourceful! But the Ye family has a lot of whispers behind their backs, and they are disrespectful to Engong! ”

"Human nature, don't pay attention to it!" Zhu Long said lightly, he thought that Fan Xiu wanted to borrow his hand and take revenge on the Ye family.

Fan Xiu said: "Engong is generous and open-minded, Fan Xiu admires!" However, Fan Xiu could not tolerate others slandering Engong. So I secretly investigated Ye Cao's case and finally found out who the murderer was! ”

"Oh?" Zhu Long was really taken aback, "You found out the murderer?" ”

Fan Xiu took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands, Lu Fang took the letter, turned around and handed it to Zhu Long.

"Help Brother Fan up!" He said to Lu Fang, looking at the letter, and smelled a faint fragrance.

The handwriting on it is beautiful, and it should be a woman's handwriting.

After reading it, I found that the person who wrote the letter was really a woman named Liuqin, and the letter was also written to Ye Cao.

In the letter, Liu Qin reprimanded Ye Cao for abandoning him from the beginning, saying that he was already pregnant with Liujia, had no face to see people, and only died, and was full of resentment between the lines.

Zhu Long shook his head after reading it and said, "What can this letter mean?" You can't say that Liu Qin killed Ye Cao because of this letter. ”

"Yes!" Fan Xiu nodded and said, "I bought the servants of the Ye family and found this letter from Ye Cao's relics. Then I privately found Ye Cao's entourage and found out that a few days before he died, he had quarreled with Liu Qin's younger brother Liu Cheng.

I went to buy the neighbors of the Liu family again, and I found out that during the period after Ye Cao's death, Liu Cheng disappeared, and the family said that he went to a relative's house, but as soon as people asked what kind of relatives they were, his family was divided and couldn't answer. Two months later, he came back, and when I counted the time, wasn't that exactly after I was sentenced to death?

And Liu Qin secretly gave birth to a baby boy two months ago, and gave it to a family surnamed Lin in Hedong Village, I went to that family to see, the couple had been married for many years and had no children, and not long ago they did raise a baby boy! ”

Zhu Long glanced at Fan Xiu in surprise, this kid is a master of solving crimes! will also buy people, find out the news, is a talent!

"So, Liu Cheng is very suspicious?" Zhu Long touched his chin and pondered for a while, and said to Lu Fang: "Brother Lu, you go to Liu's house with Brother Fan, bring Liu Cheng to the mansion, and interrogate it!" ”

"Yes" Lu Fang took more than a dozen guards and followed Fan Xiu.

After the two left, Zhu Long continued to compile "The Legend of Loyal and Righteous Heroes", and the response to the first volume was very good, and the restaurant teahouse was full of people who listened to the story, and Zhu Long had confidence and devoted himself to creation with more enthusiasm.

This is related to Zhu Jiajun's reputation of public opinion, and he can't be lazy.

After writing a story of "Qingfeng Mountain Flower Rong Bandits", Xiao Rang couldn't wait to take it and read it with relish.

Zhu Long shook his arm that was a little sore, and when he saw Xiao Rang there, his face was refreshed, and his heart was suddenly unbalanced.

"Lord, when will the next one come out? This book is very beneficial to the promotion of Zhujiazhuang, you have to work hard! Go ahead and write! Xiao Rang urged.

It's also urging to be updated! Do you really think I'm an emotionless codeword machine?

"Mr. Xiao, I write this all day long, it's not a proper job. Do you want me to learn from Empress Li and Emperor Daojun? ”

This was a bit heavy, Xiao Rang hurriedly stood up solemnly, bowed down and said, "The lord is taught!" ”

"Mr. Xiao is serious! But I really can't find time to write this "The Legend of Loyal and Righteous Heroes", I wonder if Mr. Xiao can do it for me? ”

"This is not a subordinate resignation, now the talent of the subordinates is not as good as the lord, and the things written are very different, there is a dog's tail and a mink!"

"It's okay, I'll teach you, it's actually very simple, it's to make the reader look very cool, for example, the protagonist is very powerful, but he looks weak, everyone looks down on him, laughs at him, and the bad guys want to bully it, and then the protagonist is forced to show strong martial arts or background, so that some people are surprised, those who bully him and abandon him are extremely regretful, this trick is called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and there is a second trick, don't bully the young man to be poor......"

When Zhu Long was passing on his art, Lu Fang and Fan Xiu came.

"It's a move! Liu Cheng admitted that he killed Ye Cao just to vent his evil anger for his sister! Fan Xiu said excitedly, full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Oh? Have you used the torture? ”

"Nope!" Lu Fang shook his head, "We just intimidated him, asked him if he was complicit with his sister, and if he didn't recruit him honestly, he would arrest his sister and torture him, and he confessed."

It turned out that this Ye Cao was not a thing, first he deceived Liuqin with his rhetoric and promised to marry him, but as a result, Liuqin's belly was enlarged, but he abandoned her and married her.

Liu Cheng found him to theorize, but was humiliated by him, saying that his Liu family wanted to climb the high branches of the Ye family. His sister Liu Qin wanted to commit suicide several times, and it was very painful, so he had murderous intentions towards Ye Cao! ”

It turned out that he was still a madman with a sister, and praised: "Well, it's good! Bring it in! ”

A stout young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came in, wearing a coarse cloth short coat, and it could be seen that his family background was not very good, especially when he stood with Fan Xiu, which was in stark contrast.

Zhu Long was a little surprised, he dared to kill people at such a young age, he was a ruthless person!

"Your name is Liu Cheng?"

"Yes!" Although Liu Cheng is young, he has the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, holding his head high and looking fearless.

"You killed Ye Cao?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"He's a bad guy and lied to my sister! I killed him for revenge! ”

Zhu Long shouted: "Although Ye Cao has abandoned your sister from the beginning, but the crime is not to death, you killed him, and caused Fan Xiu to almost die unjustly, can you be guilty?" ”

Liu Cheng glanced at Fan Xiu, knelt down and said: "The villain killed Ye Cao, even if he wants to die, the villain has never regretted it, but I'm sorry Mr. Fan!" ”

Fan Xiu shook his head and said indifferently: "You didn't deliberately frame me, it's all the sin of Cheng Wanli's stupid worm!" ”

Zhu Long turned his head to Xiao Rang and said, "Mr. Xiao, you will bring the Ye family to the government office, explain the matter clearly, and show Liu Cheng's confession to them, so as not to make any irresponsible remarks from the Ye family." ”

"Yes! What about this Yoo Seung? ”

Zhu Long lowered his head and pondered, although they are not the government, even if they let the murderers in the prison go, no one dares to say anything, but as an organization with grand goals and lofty ideals, it is still necessary to clean up things.

This case is bizarre and tortuous, full of interesting stories, and will definitely become a hot topic after tea and dinner in Dongping Mansion, and will have a great impact on the image of Zhu Jiajun, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!

He thought for a while and said: "Liu Cheng killed people in anger, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, he should be punished with twenty rods and sent to the army. But the deceased Ye Cao was at fault in this matter, he abandoned it from the beginning to the end, causing Liu Qin to become pregnant, but he abandoned it, the beast is not as good, and we are not the official government of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to do it according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Cheng is also a bloody man, just beat him with twenty canes in public, and then let him go home! ”

Liu Cheng was overjoyed when he saw that the punishment was so light, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

The rest of the things were handed over to Xiao Rang, and Liu Cheng was also escorted out to play the board, but Fan Xiu stood still and didn't leave.

"Brother Fan, what's the matter?"

Brother Fan suddenly lifted his hem lightly and knelt down, "Engong's life-saving grace is high and the sky is high!" Fan Xiu has nothing to repay, only this seven-foot body, thin and talented, for Engong to drive.

The Great Song Dynasty is so corrupt that I am already disheartened!

Xiaosheng can understand that Cheng Wanli is insatiable, but if it weren't for his master Tong Guan, how could a person like him become the honor of a mansion? If there was no dim-witted Daojun Emperor, how could traitors like Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Liang Shicheng stand on top of the court? The so-called chaos comes from above, the Ming monarch is a loyal and good general, and the faint monarch will trust the traitorous villain, and there is no hope for the Great Song Dynasty!

The lord is generous and benevolent, wise and martial, a righteous teacher, and the people are hanging, it is the son of destiny, Fan Xiu is willing to follow Engong, bow and die! ”

"Great, we need a talent like Brother Fan!" Zhu Long is happy, Fan Xiu is a scholar, and he is a talent that Zhu Jiajun lacks. Fan Xiu was able to solve the murder case on his own, proving that he was very talented.

Moreover, there are scholars who take refuge, which is a very good phenomenon, and in ancient times, no matter which regime, they tried their best to win the support of scholars. Although the generals who charge into battle are fierce generals, they are absolutely inseparable from the advice of readers.

Judging from Fan Xiu's current talents, it is very suitable to arrange to serve in the Dark Guard Camp.

Shi Xiu is going to Liaodong after all, this matter is too important, and it determines the future and fate of Zhu Jiajun.

If you can't get the war horses of Liaodong and rely on the infantry, it is impossible to resist the Jin soldiers. Although he Zhu Long was very reluctant to let Shi Xiu leave, he could not tolerate personal feelings in military affairs, which was something that had been planned for a long time.

In Zhu Long's cognition, there are only three people who can succeed Shi Xiu, and two of them are already serving in the Zhu family's army.
