As soon as Lu Xiong arrived, the officials under his command quickly controlled the reader.

"Lord Lu, I came here today, just to reason with Jiang Han, but the concubine of Ning Guofu didn't agree with the word and killed people on the street, as a general judge in a state, instead of arresting the murderer, you defend the murderer, is there no royal law in the world?" Wang Zhong shouted.

Lu Tongju's heart sank, dead?

As soon as he swept his eyes, he saw Liu Zhiming lying on the ground.

An official stepped forward to probe his breath, and then replied: "My lord, this person's name is Liu Zhiming, he used to be the master of the Dark Fragrance Academy, and now he has lost his breath. ”

The death of a master is an inconsequential trivial matter, but it is difficult to die under the sword of Miss Ning Guofu in front of everyone.

The top priority at the moment is to disperse this group of people first, and then turn the big things into small things and small things.

Afterwards, he asked Ning Guofu to take some silver taels to compensate Liu Zhiming's family to settle the matter.

Lu Tongju quickly thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "This case will be handled by the official, you gather a crowd to make trouble, there is a suspicion of fighting, and if you don't disperse it for the official, don't blame the official for arresting people!" ”

"What does Lu Tong's judgment mean? The murderer is in front of you, and instead of catching the murderer, you want to deal with us, do you want to shield the murderer? ”

"We came to Ning Guofu just for theory, but Ning Guofu's concubine killed people without saying a word, it was simply lawless! Now you, Lord Lu, still want to shield criminals, what is the reason! ”

"Don't be afraid, guys! As scholars, how can we be suppressed with integrity! Today, if he Lu Xiong dares to shield the prisoner, we will go to Beijing to sue the emperor! Can he Ning Guofu cover the sky with one hand and kill all of us scholars! ”

Originally, the appearance of Lu Tong's judgment had suppressed the anger of most of the readers, but some people with ulterior motives in the crowd immediately opened their mouths to provoke, and for a while, the anger of these readers was aroused again.

Lu Tongju sneered, shook his hand, summoned an official messenger, stretched out his hand and pointed at the crowd: "Arrest those troublemakers for me!" ”

The official immediately rushed into the crowd and grabbed those who were stirring up trouble.

"Stop, what are you going to do?"

"Don't move me!"

When some people saw that something was wrong, they were ready to run away, but those officials were not vegetarians, and they acted very quickly, and soon arrested more than a dozen scholars who were hiding in the crowd.

Among them is Wang Zhong.

Those people saw that Lu Tongju was doing something to them, and they secretly said in their hearts, this Lu Tongju was not a simple person, and he realized so quickly that they were stirring up emotions.

Wang Zhong said angrily: "Lord Lu, what do you mean? You don't catch the murderer, but arrest us, where is the reason? Where is the royal law? ”

"Do it to us scholars, a good Lu Tong judge, a good Lu Daren!"

"As a scholar, I am upright, and I am not afraid of power, I don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand! I don't believe that he Ning Guofu can cover the sky with one hand! ”

As Wang Zhong spoke, those who were arrested also shouted loudly, as if they were righteous and awe-inspiring scholars who were willing to die.

Lu Tong's face sank like water, and he shouted: "Plug their mouths for me, arrest them in prison, and interrogate them about who made them come!" ”

As long as these troublemakers are arrested, the rest will be easy to deal with.

The officials quickly moved and gagged Wang Zhong and his group and took them away.

Lu Tong said to those scholars again: "Regarding this case, the official will definitely make a judgment, if you are not satisfied, and then appeal, you must not be instigated by others, gather a crowd here to make trouble, and disperse for me!" ”

The people who arched the fire were taken away, and the crowd suddenly lost their backbone, although there was still some righteous indignation, but they couldn't afford to fight with the officials, and they all slowly dispersed.

Qin Fen thanked Lu Xiong: "Thank you, Lord Lu, for breaking the siege." ”

Lu Tongju smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Your mansion is going to prepare some silver taels ......."

Ning Guofu's son-in-law is deeply loved by the Confucian, and the prefect values it very much, so Lu Tongju wants to take this opportunity to sell some favors.

Qin Fen understood in seconds, after all, if someone died, he had to use silver to block the mouth of the deceased's family.

"Thank you, Lord Lu, for the reminder."

……

Jiang Han returned home, and the matter had been settled by Lu Tongju, but when he heard that Liu Zhiming hit the sword and died, and Lu Tongju took the official messenger to take the troublemaker away, his face sank suddenly, it's over, something big is going to happen!

Qin Fen said: "Although Miss killed this person by mistake, it is not a matter, I will take three hundred taels of silver and give it to Liu Zhiming's family when I go back, and this matter will be settled." ”

Three hundred taels of silver, an ordinary master can't earn it in his life! Buying a human life is enough.

What's more, this Liu Zhiming actually committed suicide.

Steward Qin continued: "I don't know who wants to deal with our Ning Guofu and provokes this matter, fortunately, Lu Tong is here, otherwise this matter would not be so easy to solve today." ”

Qin Zhong said lightly: "Although Ning Guofu has declined, not everyone can be bullied!" These troublemakers must pay the price. ”

Hearing the two of them say this, Ning Ying and Qin Muqing also put their hearts at ease.

The old man has been in a corner for too long, and he didn't realize that something big was going to happen, and the most dangerous thing about this matter was not Liu Zhiming who committed suicide at all, but the person who was taken away......

Jiang Han was keenly aware that he was afraid that a net had been enveloped towards Ning Guofu, and he wanted to wipe out everyone in Ning Guofu!

Qin Muqing saw that his face was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" You don't look good. ”

The family also noticed that Jiang Han's face was gloomy.

Jiang Han said: "Father-in-law, is Lu Tongju really here to help us?" ”

Qin Zhong said: "Why do you ask that? He and I knew each other well. ”

Jiang Han said: "Then he is doing bad things with good intentions." ”

Qin Zhong frowned and said, "What do you say?" ”

Jiang Han knew that there was already a big crisis in Ning Guofu at this time, and he didn't care about hiding it, and said: "There is nothing wrong with his approach in ordinary times, first arrest those scholars who stir up trouble, and then disperse the scholars who have lost their backbone, and finally let us pay money to Liu Zhiming's family to settle the matter." But the mistake is that the envoy of the 14 states in the south of the Yangtze River is in Yunmeng. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhong also noticed a hint of a problem, but he was still a little puzzled, and said, "What about Tang Yi in Yunmeng?" ”

Jiang Han said: "If those scholars who are taken away are severely tortured...... Or even a sudden death? ”

Qin Zhong said: "This ...... How is this possible? ”

Jiang Han said: "Think about it, is this incident really just a gathering of some scholars to make trouble?" Liu Zhiming crashed into the sword and died, it seems to be a coincidence, but it is not common sense at all when you think about it, if this person is really so fierce, he will not wait until today to commit suicide, this matter is premeditated at all! And the people who premeditated this will not let it end so easily. ”

After all, Qin Zhong and Qin Fen are old and have experienced big scenes, but they haven't realized the crisis for too long, and when they heard Jiang Han say this, they immediately realized the problem.

"The target of these people is not you, but Ning Guofu." Qin Zhong said slowly.

Jiang Han said: "That's right! The troublemakers seem to be targeting me, but their so-called charges are a joke, and the real killer is the scholars who have been taken away. Because once those people die violently, it will cause resentment! At that time, Ning Guofu will be charged with colluding with officials and mutilating scholars, and Tang Yi, the patrol envoy, will inevitably take over the case and uproot our Ning Guofu! ”
