There was also a candle lit in Wei Tu's room, and the flickering candlelight reflected the corpse on the bed and the blood stains on the ground, revealing a chilling coldness.

Lu Bu's gaze fell on the broken back window.

Before he had time to wake up the others, Lu Bu jumped out of the back window.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, he tripped over something round under his feet. The thing rolled forward a few times, and the slimy liquid splattered all over Lu Bu's trouser legs.

It was actually Wei Tu's head.

Lu Bu squatted down, Wei Tu's hideous expression before his death, even Lu Bu was startled.

After listening attentively, Lu Bu did not hear the footsteps of the murderer escaping, but heard another voice from the corner of the house, and before he could get up, a black shadow appeared in the corners of both sides of the house almost at the same time.

"Who's here?" A voice came.

The figure in the left corner had moved quickly with the sound.

Lu Bu looked up, and in the darkness, he saw Shen Ji's slightly pale face.

"Shen Bantou, someone assassinated Lord Wei." Lu Bu shouted.

Almost at the same time, Shen Ji also saw the human head at Lu Bu's feet.

"What is the crime of a bold thief and assassinating Lord Futai?" After being slightly stunned, Shen Ji suddenly pulled out the single knife on his waist, and slashed at Lu Bu with a loud shout. m.

Lu Bu hurriedly dodged away.

"The villain also heard the voice and came out to arrest the murderer." Lu Bu explained.

At this time, a cold wind suddenly came from behind him, and another single knife stabbed from behind.

Lu Bu leaned sideways and grabbed the back of the knife in his hand.

The name of the person who came was Hu Lai, and he was also a servant here.

"No wonder this person has repeatedly made trouble in the capital, and even the officials of the court dare to kill him, but he is so vicious." Hu said, trying to pull back the steel knife, but Lu Bu grabbed the back of the knife and didn't let go.

"Shen Bantou, don't let go of this person, otherwise you and I and all the brothers in the government will die." Seeing that he couldn't get the steel knife back, Hu Lai yelled at Shen Ji.

Shen Ji leaned over and smashed the back of his knife into Lu Bu's legs.

Lu Bu was helpless, let go of Hu Lai's steel knife, and jumped up.

"Brothers, listen to me." Lu Bu also wanted to explain.

The two pressed forward step by step.

Lu Bu waved his halberd several times and wanted to smash it, but he put it down again.

"Okay, you two stop it, the villain is left to you to be arrested, and you will only make a theory after finding out the truth." Lu Bu didn't want to be entangled like this anymore.

At this time, several other officials who heard the sound also ran out of the house.

"Hurry up and report to Lord Cheng."

Tie up Lu Bu, and a servant said loudly.

When Lu Bu came here, he had never seen this lord of the mansion.

Lu Bu was taken to the lobby.

Everyone knew that Lu Bu was strong, and for fear that he would escape, they locked his hands with an iron chain, and the other end was locked to the pillar in the middle of the hall.

Lu Bu only wanted to see Lord Fucheng soon, explain what had happened, and ask him to order the murderer to be arrested as soon as possible, and he didn't care about such a tie-up at all.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man dressed in gray brocade entered the lobby, accompanied by two servants.

Compared with Wei Tu's simplicity, this lord of the mansion with a ruddy complexion and gorgeous brocade seems to be the real prefect of Chuzhou.

This person's name is Xu Jing.

He came from Qingliu County with Wei Tu, and it is said that he is also a distant cousin of Wei Tu.

Because Wei Tu has not been in Chuzhou for a long time, and Fu Cheng is also an important official who needs to be appointed by the imperial court, although Wei Tu has been reported for a long time, until today, his appointment has not been officially issued.

That is to say, although people have recognized this Lord Fucheng in their hearts, he is still a white body with no merit.

Lu Bu didn't know this.

However, there is one thing that Lu Bu can see very clearly, that is, when Xu Jing came in, his face was expressionless, and he didn't even look at Wei Tu's corpse in the courtyard.

"Please also take a seat." Shen Ji looked very humble, and said to Xu Jing.

"Shen Bantou must not be called that, the appointment of the imperial court has not yet arrived, and I cannot replace my brother to preside over the official affairs here." Xu Jing said politely.

"Lord Xu doesn't have to excuse himself, Lord Futai has been killed, and the little ones have no idea for a while, so they have to ask Lord Xu to come and make the decision. I believe that your appointment will arrive soon, and perhaps you will be directly asked to succeed Lord Wei and take charge of Chuzhou. Hu Lai also leaned over and said.

"I just heard that my brother was killed, and I was anxious to come over and take a look, so I could go back and give an explanation to my sister-in-law." Xu Jing said.

"Yes, how would I be sad if Lord Wei's wife learned about this?" Shin Ji echoed.

Lu Bu kept observing Xu Jing's expression, and didn't see the slightest sadness on his face.

Wei Tu is really interesting, the back of the government is full of officials and their families, but his wife lives outside, is this also a means for him to show his integrity?

"Please also take a seat quickly and try this thief." Hu Lai urged.

All the officials came over one after another.

"Please don't excuse yourself."

"We are all willing to obey Lord Xu's orders."

Seeing that everyone was saying this, Xu Jing seemed a little helpless, groaned for a while, and finally nodded.

"Since the brothers trust me so much, I have the right to replace my brother." With that, he walked quickly to the desk in the lobby and sat down steadily.

Under the leadership of Shen Ji, the officials were divided into two rows, left and right, and only Lu Bu stood alone in the middle of the steps below the steps in the lobby.

"Where did the criminal come from, and why did he kill my brother? Or speak quickly, so that the flesh and skin will not suffer. Xu Jing slapped Tang Mu hard and shouted loudly.

As his voice landed, everyone shouted in unison.

Lu Bu's gaze swept over everyone's faces.

He suddenly felt that such a scene was like a kind of game for street children—playing house.

Such a big Chuzhou city actually wants a person with no merit to preside over official business, what means did Xu Jing use to make these officials who are like wolves and tigers on weekdays bow down to him so much?

However, Lu Bu didn't want to explore these now.

Wei Tu can be regarded as a good official, and he wants to help them catch the murderer as soon as possible.

"The villain Lu Bu was entrusted by Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion and Lord Shen of the Criminal Department to help Lord Wei exterminate the mountain bandits. The top people of the Shen class knew all about this matter, and they had already arrested the mountain bandits yesterday. Lu Bu replied, "The villain and Lord Wei have never had a grudge, but yesterday Lord Wei specially set up a banquet to thank the villain, and the villain was drunk and stayed here all night." At night, when he heard the voice next door, the villain got up to check and found that Lord Wei's head was in a different place, but the murderer was gone. The villain wanted to chase after him, but he didn't want to, and was arrested by Shen Bantou and the Hu Lai brothers as murderers. This is absolutely true, and please be aware of it. And mobilize people as soon as possible to find the murderer and avenge Lord Wei. ”

"Shen Bantou, is what this strong man said true?" Xu Jing looked at Shen Ji.

Lu Bu didn't expect that Shen Ji's next words were greatly unexpected by himself.

Some people died, but not completely......
