Chapter 161: A Mallet

Fang's face was full of shock, and he muttered, "Jiaojiao, and let me take care of my mother's ......."

Lin Ruyu nodded, because she herself also needed to be quiet.

The bluethroat song robin outside the window screamed happily a few times before Fang Shi spoke, "There is a specialization in the art industry, although Luo Xian is good at martial arts, but when it comes to the sea, they may not be able to fight pirates, so we must ask the Liangdao Dart Bureau to pick up your father back, and it is best for Lu Daoliang to go in person." Mother thinks that the accident with the Lu family in your dream may have something to do with us."

Lin Ruyu understood what her mother meant, but she had a different speculation, "If it's just to stop the good way dart game, there are many more labor-saving ways. So the daughter thinks that there may be that person who fuels this matter, but there must be something hidden in it. At present, we don't know much about the Lu Gu family, and we have to inquire about the two families as soon as possible. At the end of the year, my mother is busy with things in the shop, so I'll leave this matter to my daughter, right?"

In the dream, Lin Ruyu only heard the maid mother-in-law mention two sentences about the tragic situation of the Gu family, and she didn't know what the truth was. However, there must be a reason for the incident, and if we investigate it now, we should be able to find out some truths.

The daughter is willing to do it, and the Fang family will not stop her, "With the Gu family's background and Gu Jing's identity as the young head of the family, you shouldn't marry the daughter of a frail dart master who has been weak and sick since she was a child, there must be a secret in this marriage." The steward of Changzhou will come back at the end of the year to pay the annual account, and Jiaojiao will send someone to ask at that time. There are still more than two months before they get married, and there is still time."

"My daughter understands." Lin Ruyu responded, and after calling the steward Lin Feng to give instructions, the officials of the Xuanzhou Yamen arrived.

Lord Taishou interrogated Gao Wanzhi, and sent Lin Ruyu to the lobby to reply.

didn't expect Zhu Taishou to be promoted to the court so soon to ask about the case, Lin Ruyu asked Xianyin to hug the jade to ward off evil spirits and rushed outside the yamen hall.

The official opened the door of the lobby to see the lively crowd, and when Lin Ruyu entered the hall, he swept it and found three adults sitting in the hall.

Zhu Taishou in the center, Ye Changshi and Tongshou Wang Linchang each sat on the left and right. Shen Ge, Zhao Ming, Wang Zhengtong, Gao Wanzhi, Song Tianxiang and his eldest uncle Zhang Zhongfeng and others were all in the hall.

After Lin Ruyu saluted and reported to his home, Zhu Taishou asked, "Lin Ruyu, can you bring the jade that was auctioned by Wanxiang Auction House yesterday?"

"Back to Taishou, the folk girl brought it." Lin Ruyu raised the box containing jade to ward off evil spirits with both hands, and the official took the brocade box worth 20,000 taels of silver with both hands and carefully sent it to the court case.

Zhu Taishou opened the brocade box, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Lin Ruyu replied, "Three years ago, the father of the Minnu bought back more than ten pieces of jadeite rough from the country of Qiu, opened a piece of high-grade ice white jade, and asked the craftsmen of the Jade Building to carve it into jade, and this jade is one of them. This year, the three states were flooded, and the grange and shop of the people's family were seriously damaged, and at the end of the year, there was no money in the family's account to buy New Year's goods, so the mother asked the people's daughter to take out the jade to ward off evil spirits and hand it over to the Wanxiang Auction House for auction."

After Zhu Taishou ordered the shopkeeper of the Jade Building to pass into the lobby, confirming that Lin Rujia's jade was really from the Jade Building, he asked Lin Ruyu to step aside and continue to ask the case, "Shen Ge, how did you find out that the jade sent by Gao Wanzhi to the auction was a spiritual weapon?"

Shen Ge replied loudly, "Lord Hui, when Wanxiang Auction House takes over each lot, it will ask the experienced court of the Wang family pawnshop to check the authenticity of the lot. It was the courtiers who recognized the jade as a dark weapon to ward off evil spirits, and the grass people sent it to the yamen." ….

Changshi Ye Changjun took over the conversation, "Back to Taishou, the lower officials have verified that what Shen Ge said is true. The lower officials learned that the Lin family had also sent a jade to ward off evil spirits, and after discussing it with Lord Wang, he asked Shen Ge to conceal the matter of the underworld weapon, and used the Lin family's jade to ward off evil spirits to attract Gao Wanzhi's accomplices."

Tongshou Wang Lin Chang's waist straightened, and he replied loudly, "Back to Taishou, Xia Guan felt that with the strength of Gao Wanzhi alone, it was impossible to steal such a valuable jade, so he made this plan with Lord Ye."

Well?

Wang Linchang is whitewashed?

Why didn't Taishou take the opportunity to take him?

Lin Ruyu, who was standing on the side of the auditorium, turned her eyes and looked at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge also happened to turn his eyes, and the two of them looked at each other, and each lowered his head.

The others were okay, Song Tianxiang was so frightened that he knelt and crawled two steps, and slammed his head to the ground, "My lord, the grass people are wronged, the grass people are not Gao Wanzhi's accomplices, the grass people are wronged......

Before Zhu Taishou could speak, Wang Linchang had already shouted angrily, "Lord Taishou has not yet decided the case, what are you shouting wronged, aren't you being a thief?"

Song Tianxiang......

The head of the Song family outside the lobby was eager to rush in and block his son's mouth, Zhang Zhongfeng secretly rolled his eyes and scolded "idiot" in his heart.

Zhu Taishou then asked, "Gao Wanzhi, where did you get your jade to ward off evil spirits? If you dare to tell half a lie, smack!"

Zhu Taishou was shocked, and said without anger, "The great punishment is waiting."

Gao Wanzhi was already timid, and when he was almost poisoned to death last night, he was already frightened, and at this time he was asking what tricks, "Lord Hui Taishou, someone handed over the jade to the grass people to ward off evil spirits, and said that the grass people would be auctioned by the Wanxiang Auction House, and the silver money would be divided...... Divide the grass into two. Please be aware that what the grass people say is true."

Zhu Taishou asked, "Who put the jade in your hands?"

Gao Wanzhi slurred, "Yes...... It was the man who was poisoned in the prison yesterday, and the grass people don't know his name......

"Smack!" Zhu Taishou was shocked and shouted angrily, "You don't know the other party's name, how dare you take his jade?!"

"Might—Might—"

The two classes of officials poked the ground with torture rods and drank together, so frightened that Gao Wanzhi almost peed his pants, and said tremblingly, "The grass people's shop lost money, so that's why they ...... The grass people guessed that the jade was not coming from the right way, but they didn't expect it to be a spiritual weapon, please spare your life, please spare your life."

Zhu Taishou carefully asked a few more questions about the person who went to the prison to poison him, and asked until Wang Linchang couldn't sit still before moving on to the next question, "Can you conspire with Song Tianxiang and Zhang Zhongfeng?"

Zhang Zhongfeng's face did not change, and Song Tianxiang trembled.

Gao Wanzhi replied, "Lord Taishou, the grass people did not conspire with them, but on the eighth day of the lunar month, Song Tianxiang blocked the grass people and asked if the jade sent by the grass people to ward off evil spirits was a spiritual weapon. Of course, the grass people didn't admit it, but they were also afraid that things would end badly, so the grass people went to the auction house to find Shen Ge on the ninth day of the first lunar month, wanting to return to the jade to ward off evil spirits, but who knew that the grass people went to the two times, but they didn't find Shen Ge."

After saying this, Gao Wanzhi was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

Zhu Taishou interrogated Song Tianxiang and Zhang Zhongfeng at this time, "How did you two learn about this?"

Afraid that Song Tianxiang would not be able to speak clearly, Zhang Zhongfeng saluted and preemptively said, "Lord Hui Taishou, when the grass people and Song Tianxiang were eating tea in the Shuming Building, they heard someone in the hall talking about the theft of the tomb of the former court officials in Ezhou and the loss of a pair of jade to ward off evil spirits, so I remembered the jade to be auctioned by Wanxiang Auction House. The grass people only mentioned it casually, but they didn't expect Song Tianxiang to run to Gao Wanzhi to verify."

"My lord, the grass people saw Gao Wanzhi's words flickering and their eyes rolled, and it was obvious that they were weak-hearted, so they decided that the jade evil spirits were thieves, and the grass people ...... Grass people......" Song Tianxiang wanted to shout that he was wronged, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he cried aggrieved.

Zhu Taishou slapped the shocked wood, "Even if you know it's a thief, why didn't you report to the official at the Yamen?"

"Grass People...... The grass people were confused for a while...... "At this time, Song Tianxiang really cried.

Lin Ruyu sighed secretly, no wonder Song Tianxiang was always used as a gun by Zhang Zhongfeng, and his head could only be used as a mallet.
