Tu Zhiwei glanced at An Chuxia with complicated eyes, and then looked gloomily at Lu Haoning and Fang Zhuoli, who were already paralyzed on the ground.

If it weren't for the two of them doing such a bad thing, how could he face the situation of being dismissed from office, at this time, Tu Zhiwei hated Lu Haoning and Fang Zhuoli to death in his heart.

Now that the human and material evidence is complete, there is no possibility of reversing the criminal punishment of the two, and what awaits them will be the most severe punishment.

This case shocked the entire Lushan County.

In front of Fang's house every day, rotten eggs are either thrown at someone, or rotten vegetables, or someone passing by will spit at the door.

The Fang family's business also plummeted because of this incident.

I heard that a few months ago, the granddaughter of Ji Xiucai's family, who was studying in Evergreen Academy, was stunned by Lu Shan's eldest grandson.

He ran out unprepared, and when he was finally chased, he jumped into the Qing River and drowned, and was found by a woman who was washing clothes shortly after.

"What a sin!" Those who heard it couldn't help but lament.

"In the future, let's send the children who are studying at home to study in the newly opened Jinghua Academy in the past few years, then forget about the Evergreen Academy, it's terrible."

This incident also had a great impact on the Evergreen Academy, and the reputation of the scholars was very important, and no one wanted to be criticized for the place where they studied after they came out of the imperial examination.

An Chuxia is a Beijing official as a last resort, and she will not meddle in local affairs, after the matter is investigated, there is Zhou Xingyang, the prefect, she handed over the case to him to deal with.

This day, I just came back from Qingshi Town in early summer to visit Gu Tongsheng and Gu, and I was worried about Gu's health, which was getting worse and worse, and the teacher who was also mentally depressed.

As soon as I got off the carriage and looked left, I came up to report that Mr. Lu, the head of the Evergreen Academy, came.

An Chuxia had a meal, and from the operation of Lu Shilang and his wife in the capital that year, as well as the secret room of the study of the richest man in the city, she saw the name of Lu Shilang in the account books, and she decided not to contact the Lu family anymore.

After all, the Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

An Chuxia's eyes flickered, frowned slightly, and then strode towards home.

Lu Mingyuan, whose hair was already completely white, saw An Chuxia coming in, stood up and bowed, "Lord An." ”

An Chuxia hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help Lu Shan politely, "Mr. Lu doesn't have to be so polite, sit down and say something." ”

Lu Mingyuan saw that An Chuxia had become an official and a young master, and he was still so low-key and easy-going, and he really regretted that he had separated the relationship with her for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

Lu Mingyuan sighed secretly, it was already like this, it was too late to regret it.

An Chuxia saw Lu Shanchang staring at herself, and she didn't speak, she picked up the teacup as if she had nothing to do, and slowly sipped the fragrant tea in her hand.

Lu Shanchang came back to his senses and thought of the purpose of coming here today, and his wrinkled face was dyed red.

The old voice said: "The old man came today to beg Lord An to raise his noble hand and spare my grandson's life."

No matter what you ask, as long as the old family can do it, it will be obligated to do it. ”

When An Chuxia learned that he was coming, he knew that Lu Shanchang was in charge of this matter, but this case is now under the jurisdiction of Zhou Xingyang, the prefect.

As long as Zhou Xingyang does not bend the law for personal gain, she is really not qualified to take over now, so An Chuxia said truthfully:

"Mr. Lu, you are looking for the wrong person, this case is now under the control of the local government, and I have no right to interfere."

"But wasn't this case the first thing you started investigating?

How to meddle, for the sake of the fact that you once studied at Evergreen Academy, you are begging for you. ”

An Chuxia originally had some respect for Lu Shanchang, but he also regretted that he didn't know right from wrong and blindly protected his grandson who did evil.

So he said in a faint voice: "No matter whether the official can intervene in this case or not, the official will not intercede for a person who is mad and rapes an innocent woman to death." ”

In order to show his resoluteness, An Chuxia even changed his self-profess.

"You~" Lu Shan's old and cloudy eyes looked at An Chuxia in disbelief, but he didn't expect her to refuse so decisively.

An Chuxia politely followed with a disappointed face, and Lu Shanchang, who was helped away by his entourage, had no waves on his face.

Not only did An Chuxia encounter such a thing, but Zhou Xingyang, who stayed in Lushan County to deal with this case, not only received a large amount of silver tickets from the Fang family, but also received a letter from Lu Shilang from the capital.

The letter said that as long as he found a way to exonerate Lu Haoning, he would be transferred to the capital as an official, and he would be promoted.

Looking at the high-ranking official Houlu and the large amount of silver tickets in front of him, saying that he was not moved by the saint, Zhou Xingyang thought that An Chuxia had been a magistrate for so many years.

has investigated so many corruption cases, there should be a lot of such things, how did she resist the temptation to refuse.

After that, Zhou Xingyang asked An Chuxia about such a thing, but he didn't expect to get an answer that surprised him.

An Chuxia said: "The closer an official is to the emperor, the more dangerous it is, why can't I think of going to the capital to be an official."

As for the silver, isn't it fragrant to earn it by oneself according to one's own ability?

Besides, when the silver dies more, you can't spend it even if you bring it into the soil, so why do you take that risk? ”

An Chuxia's words made Zhou Xingyang, who was shaken by the gold and silver of the high-ranking officials, suddenly open, and he has never bothered about such a thing since then.

Soon Lu Haoning and Fang Zhuoli raped and murdered many young girls, and the verdict was publicly tried and pronounced in the Yamen of Lushan County, but An Chuxia did not go.

I heard that the entrance of the county government was crowded with people that day, and if it wasn't for the guards who stopped them, the victim's family would have been able to break in and beat the two and several other entourages who helped them to death.

Huya was also an accomplice in Wang Qing'er's matter, although he was not sentenced to death, but he was also sentenced to ten years.

Li Si provided a reward for information, An Chuxia handed over one hundred taels to his grandmother for safekeeping, and the old lady was going to use the money to marry a daughter-in-law for Li Si, and take care of him to live a good life in the future.

After the death of Li Si's parents, his grandmother brought him up, and he was very filial to the old man, although he was a little dissatisfied with An Chuxia's order to give all the silver to his grandmother.

But when the old lady married him a beautiful little daughter-in-law, he felt that the money was not spent in his hands, and it was not bad to marry a soft and glutinous little daughter-in-law.

The two main culprits in this case, Lu Haoning and Fang Zhuoli, as well as several direct accomplices in this case, were sentenced to death.

In order to calm the people's anger, they did not wait until the autumn queen to ask for a beheading as usual, and both of them were sentenced to be beheaded.

Before the execution, An Chuxia sent someone to tell Zhou Xingyang one thing, that two witnesses who had been here were assassinated by a group of specially trained people.
