Chapter 11: Punishment and Exemption from Governors (3)
"What's there to say about this?" Scribe Chen's face became natural again, "I only have one word to Master Lu: the villain has never killed anyone!" ”
Lu Deguang shook his head: "But I think what those two said is also reasonable." ”
Chen Shuren turned his head to look at the two officials, and one of them came out, facing him and said, "I have evidence." As he spoke, he walked to the master's desk and took out a complaint, "This is the case of Uncle Wang accusing you of embezzling family property, and the pen stopped halfway through writing." ”
"I saw it in a corner by accident during a post-mortem exam." Lu Deguang added.
"If I really want to kill him, why do I have to keep this evidence?"
"Maybe you didn't see it." Li Yong said.
"How did he die?" Chen Shuren ignored him and continued to ask.
"Strangulation." Lu Deguang took out the paper and said.
"Most likely, you did it," said the officer, "and there is no other way." Since you raided his house, you must have been afraid that Uncle Wang would tell the government, so you took a rope and went to the room to strangle Uncle Wang, so as to kill people and kill people......"
"You have proof of this!" "How do you know the rope is mine?" You said it in such detail, couldn't it have been the two of you who killed it? ”
Lu De's naked body was shocked. He felt that something was wrong, and glanced at Li Yong, who understood with his heart and nodded towards him.
"Yes, there is no conclusive evidence now, but the fact that the scribe Chen has raided the family property without permission is a certainty, and there should be no one to protest if the scribe is temporarily imprisoned, right?" Lu Deguang looked around, and even the scribe Chen was sullen.
Because of this, the Lu Governor's Mansion took into account the face of the Governor's Office, so he did not throw the order and sent the official to take the Chen scribe down.
"The slave didn't expect that there was no evidence here, so I asked the master for forgiveness without careful consideration."
At this time, Lu Deguang had already turned to the study, and Li Yong kowtowed deeply in front of him.
"Nothing. As long as you induce him to steal Wang Boyi's property, the rest will be easy to do. ”
Li Yong stood up at this time, "I only follow the master's idea, just like when Ye Yongjia went or stayed was decided by you." ”
When Lu Deguang heard this, he recalled the events of the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you hadn't let me choose at the beginning, and only persuaded me to protect the Ye family, I'm afraid today's situation would not be so difficult to manage." ”
"It's all the same according to the slaves. Ye Yongjia is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and sooner or later he will become a scourge. ”
Lu Deguang also nodded.
"Let's get down to business. What does the master want to do? ”
Lu Deguang was silent for a while, and looked out the window with gloomy eyes: "I want to use this matter to write a report to the province, take advantage of the situation to dismiss Yuan Lun, and I want to take charge of the military and political affairs of Chenzhou." ”
"And then?"
"Then privately smelt the soldiers, submerge the dead, rely on the army to respect themselves, and return to the heart of the head of the Qian; Then he raised troops in one fell swoop, and waved the Beijing division in the name of the righteousness of the Liu Party, and did not try to govern the government, only called the overlord, but cast the seal ribbon, advanced and retreated hundreds of officials, and Liu Zhennian, Wan Huizhi, and Lu Langqing balanced the world. His eyes were sharp and his voice was high, and it was not like he had spoken from a faithful man. Li Yong didn't know that he had such great ambitions in his heart, and he didn't want that. He was already planning his way out in his head.
"Okay," Li Yong exclaimed, "In that case, I have a clever plan for Lord Lu......"
The moonlight shone brightest in the room. Chen Shuzhi sat in the prison, carrying a wooden shackle, trying to hide his panic, and looked at the two people in front of him. But Mingyao's clear light has spread his heart flat and displayed in front of Li Yong's eyes.
"I asked Chen Shushu to write a letter and go to the province to refer to Yuan Lun's letter." Li Yong looked at the cell boss next to him, and the cell boss understood that he was going to repeat his old trick.
"Oh," Chen Shuyi's head lit up, and he immediately figured it out: "I'm afraid that Wang Boyi's letter was also forced by you to write it like this." ”
"That's right. It's good that you know. Li Yong made no secret of it.
"You can't strangle me with a rope, can you?"
"Of course. It would be suspicious if two people died in the room. ”
"Then I won't write, how!" Chen Shuzhi had the courage to shout loudly.
"We can falsify evidence." Li Yong smiled calmly, "It's not like you haven't seen it." ”
"That ......" Chen Shu's momentum was extinguished at once, and he looked at the two of them timidly.
"So...... Do you write or not? The cell boss asked.
"To stay alive...... I write! Take it! As soon as Chen Shuren wiped his sweat, he stepped forward and asked the cell boss for paper and pen.
"Flails."
The cell boss pulled off the latch in his hand, then handed the paper and pen to the scribe Chen to write.
Although he was dexterous with his hands, he still wore a flail on his head, so he struggled to write, and he barely wrote a few sentences, and then stopped writing.
The cell boss handed over to Li Yong to see, Li Yong nodded, and said to Chen Shuzhi: "That's enough, you have a good rest." ”
The two of them said no more, turned their faces and walked out of the room, locked the door of the cell, and handed the key to the jailer next to him.
"You send someone here to write another letter to Yuan Lun and deliver it to the province overnight." Li Yong instructed him.
"What about Scrivener Chen's letter?"
Li Yong smiled secretly, "Let the soldiers of the Governor's Office send it." ”
"What does that mean?" The cell boss was puzzled.
"Let Yuan Lun lose trust in Chen Shuzhi and dare not come to rescue him; When the time comes, the province will send an envoy to come, and we can ask the scribe Chen to come out as a witness. Yuan Lun can be said to be sitting and waiting to be killed. ”
Li Yong laughed a few times and walked out.
He handed over the letter from the scribe Chen to Lu Deguang, and the prefect immediately transferred the soldiers of the Governor's Office and ordered him to go to the province; And the cell boss also sent someone to bring a letter all the way, got on a horse, and in case the Governor's Office saw it, he took a long detour and went to Kaifeng.
The soldiers of the Governor's Office were arranged by the prefect, and as soon as they got out of the palace, they found a remote alley, and when they saw that there was no one around, they hurriedly opened the letter, read it, and were speechless. He hurriedly pulled his horse and hurried to the governor's office.
"The surname Chen is really shameless!" Yuan Lun was as angry as thunder, so he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it aside.
"I wanted to intercede with him, or just kidnap him, but I didn't expect it......" He slammed the table with his fist, almost smashing it.
"This kind of ungrateful person has to be cleaned up!" The soldier also said indignantly.
"I think so. Otherwise...... I'll send someone to kill him in prison! Yuan Lun paid attention and looked at the soldier with his face, "What time is it?" ”
"It's dusk."
"Good! When someone is sent to the number room at night, the life of Scrivener Chen will be gone! ”
Sure enough, at night, Yuan Lun called an assassin who was kept in the mansion, and because he thought his sword blade was too blunt, he gave him a dagger that he carried with him. When the assassin saw that Yuan Lun's name was still on the dagger, he was afraid that someone would recognize it, but Yuan Lun said: "If you don't throw it in prison, you will leave after killing someone, what are you afraid of!" ”
Relieved, the Assassin took the dagger with him, dressed himself in the stars and the moon, and hurried to the prison.
