Pinglianghou is more than fifty years old, although the temples are a little white, but the body is strong without a trace of age, now Pinglianghou is sitting in the front hall accompanied by the housekeeper, he holds his forehead with one palm, and his eyes are full of anger.

"Master Hou, the government office, the criminal department, and the Jinyi guard are already starting an investigation, and I think they will bring the murderer to justice." It was the old butler who spoke.

Pinglianghou raised his head slightly, but there was no trace of sadness on his face, he said as if mockingly: "The government and the criminal department are just for show, the murder of our Xungui's family, they dare not wade into this troubled water, as for Jinyiwei?" Oh, in addition to indiscriminately listing charges against people, farts don't have the ability to fart, even if they catch the murderer, it may not be true, I can't tell how people are tortured. ”

While he was talking, Zhang Lu had already entered the front hall under the leadership of Fu Rang.

Seeing Pingliang Hou, the two juniors naturally took the lead in saluting, and then said a bunch of words that don't hurt or itch when people can't be resurrected after death, and the festival mourns and changes, and it feels like the time is about the same, so Zhang Lu asked directly: "The kid took the liberty to ask, I don't know what grudge Hou Ye can have with others?" ”

Pinglianghou frowned slightly, and said: "You juniors came to mourn the deceased wife, this old man understands this intention, as for the case has its own yamen to investigate, I don't have to worry about you juniors." ”

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and took out the Jinyiwei waist card in his arms, and then said: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, the boy is also a member of the Jinyiwei, and this time it was also Jiang Zhen and Master Jiang who specially asked the kid to come." ”

Pinglianghou really didn't expect that the little boy in front of him could actually get Jiang Xuan's old yin criticism, "It's the old man who underestimated you, the junior, the old man has killed countless people in his life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the enemy is everywhere, I don't know how many natives in Yunnan who were beheaded by the old man, and after fighting big and small battles in this half of his life, I don't know how many people hate the old man." And the old man is upright and never beats around the bush, maybe he will inadvertently offend other colleagues. ”

Zhang Lu continued to ask: "Are there any suspicious people near the Hou Mansion recently?" ”

Pinglianghou didn't answer, but raised his hand and said, "The old man is a little tired, you go down......"

Zhang Lu wanted to ask again, but he was already pulled out by Fu Rang beside him.

Because Zhang Zhen was assigned by Jiang Xuan, Pinglianghou answered the first question, which was to save Jiang Xuan's face.

It is precisely because Zhang Zhen was assigned by Jiang Zhen that Pinglianghou is reluctant to answer more, who in the honorable circle does not know that Jiang Zhen is an old yin critic? The people he assigned should not have too much intersection.

Waiting for Zhang Lu and Fu Rang to exit the front hall, Pingliang Hou called the housekeeper next to him, and asked in a low voice: "The kid who hasn't spoken on the side just now belongs to Fu Youde's family?" ”

The old housekeeper ushered in the send-off on weekdays, and he had already remembered all these nobles in Yingtianfu, "It is the third son of the Yingguo Mansion." ”

Ying Guogong is Fu Youde's title, and most people call it that.

Pinglianghou nodded: "Find a way to blame Fu Youde's son for Madame's death." ”

The old housekeeper was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, if this is the case, I am afraid that the real murderer will get away with it, and if you don't catch the real murderer, Master Hou may be in danger." ”

Pinglianghou said: "Just add more guards to the hospital, if you can put Fu Youdra into the water, the old man's safety is nothing." ”

"But......" the old butler's face was full of worry.

Pinglianghou said: "My lady is very pampered, and she has done a lot of things that hurt the heavens and reason, and she deserves to die." The same is true of the old man......"

Speaking of this, Pingliang Hou sighed, and continued unwillingly: "Back then, when he fought the world with His Majesty, he had already put his life out of the way, if he was peaceful today, His Majesty would no longer be able to tolerate these nobles, and there were still fewer nobles who were implicated by Hu Weiyong at the beginning?" Now it seems to be peaceful, but His Majesty's knife has never been sheathed, our family has indeed done a lot of shady business for the prosperity of the family, and the wife is dead, if the death of the lady, let the Jinyi guard find out something unclean, I am afraid that our whole family will be killed. Putting Fu Youdra into the water can be regarded as handing a knife to His Majesty, just to test whether our Majesty will move the knife, this knife does not move, if it does, maybe Your Majesty will let our family go because of the credit of our handing the knife, our Majesty can be very clear in his heart. ”

The old butler answered and asked, "Then what if Your Majesty didn't mean to let our family go?" ”

Pinglianghou's eyes narrowed slightly, "Fu Youde has more credit than the old man, and the title is higher than the old man, let him go with His Majesty, right, if he loses and can't let His Majesty retract the knife, then let's prepare to be killed." ”

The old housekeeper knew that this matter was a matter of life and death, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will definitely bring Fu Youde's son in today." ”

Pinglianghou closed his eyes and nodded silently.

……

Zhang Yan was pulled out by Fu Rang, somewhat puzzled: "Brother Fu, what are you pulling me for?" I haven't finished asking yet. ”

Fu Rang shook his head slightly, but he didn't explain much, but said hello to make it easier for Zhang Yuan to separate, and walked around the Hou Mansion alone, after all, the relationship between the two is not very close. Could it be that all of us nobles hate Jiang Xuan's old yin criticism?

Zhang Lu looked inexplicably wonderful.

When Zhang Lu returned to the front yard, it was already crowded.

He came to Gao Haiyong, and the junior colonel next to him stepped forward and said: "In addition to the Hou Ye himself and the maid who is guarding the foyer, the rest of the people have all gathered here, and they have all been inquired, and they have not asked who the statement of the ghost asking for his life came from, basically Zhang San told Li Si, Li Si told Wang Wu, and Wang Wu told Zhang San." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, now that he had expected this kind of result, the people in Pingliang Houfu were so talkative, and it was basically impossible to find out the source.

However, Zhang Lu saw a very abrupt man in the crowd, not that the man was very tall, but that all the people around him were some distance away from the man, as for the reason, it was that the man was pulling a rope in his hand, and there were five big dogs around.

Zhang Lu walked over with great interest, first glanced at the big dog, and then asked the man holding the dog leash: "Are you raising all the dogs in the Pingliang Hou Mansion?" ”

The man bowed slightly and said, "If you go back to the official master, the dogs in the house are all small feeding training." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, "This dog doesn't look small. ”

The man said, "Although these dogs look fierce, they are actually very obedient and will not hurt people easily. ”

Zhang Zhen took two steps forward, and saw that these dogs really didn't react much, but obediently stayed beside the man.

Zhang Lu himself likes dogs, and he is also bold, so he directly reached out and stroked a few big dogs.

The five big dogs are of different breeds, but they have one thing in common, that is, the dogs' fur is a little damp.

Thinking of the judgment of the puppet, if the wound of Mrs. Pinglianghou was really bitten by the beast, then the big dog in the house is very suspicious, and the big dog will inevitably be stained with blood, the best way is of course to clean, it is summer now, the weather is hot and humid, the hair on the big dog is long and many, and there will naturally be a feeling of dampness.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, Zhang Lu did not move, but slowly got up and asked the man, "What's your name?" ”

The man bowed again, "The little one's name is Sun Ping." ”

Zhang said: "You put these big dogs back in the kennel, and then come back, remember to tie these big dogs tightly." ”

Sun Ping frowned, but still did what Zhang Yan said.
