Chapter 138: New Ideas for Finding Evidence
It was the gaze of a pack of wolves.
Even if they were more than ten meters apart, even if Lu Xiaochen had never seen a Turkic person, that kind of cold beast-like eyes would definitely not appear on the faces of the Han people.
Seeing those eyes, all the doubts in Lu Xiaochen's heart were dispersed.
He no longer doubted Bai Song, no longer tested Bai Song's true intentions, and subconsciously squatted down, his hands and feet were a little cold.
"What to do? What to do? That's the eyes of the Turks, it must be the Turks! I could see the smell of blood in their eyes. ”
"Out of town! It's not safe in the city anymore. ”
"Out of town? Absolutely not! All you care about is your own safety! You're worried that the Zheng family's people will kill you, so you're going to get out of the city. But the goal of those Turks is the official! They don't dare to do anything in the city, if they leave the city, they will definitely find a way to kill me! ”
"Hiding in the city can be safe for a while, can adults guarantee that they can be safe for a lifetime? How long is hiding in the city a head? Could it be that he will be in Jixian County all his life and never go back to his life? ”
Lu Xiaochen's mouth was trembling: "It's all you!" It's all you, a madman, who pulled Benguan into the water! ”
"What's the use of talking about that now? The Turks had just entered the city, and while they were not yet firmly established, they fled from the city at this time, and there was probably a glimmer of life. If they wait until they are familiar with the terrain and then want to escape, I am afraid it will not be so simple. ”
"Let's go! Walk! Let's go now! Lu Xiaochen quickly made a decision, and pulled Bai Song to go downstairs.
Bai Song was also a little nervous, wanting to relax a little, so he said casually: "My lord, let's go and change your clothes, how uncomfortable." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiaochen was so angry that he wanted to crash to death on the pillar, and glared back at Bai Song: "It's all at this time, what are you talking nonsense for?" ”
Bai Song relaxed a little and followed Lu Xiaochen downstairs.
Lu Xiaochen was already upstairs and was already yelling for his entourage to prepare the carriage.
Bai Song took the opportunity to ask: "My lord, how many entourages did you bring with you on this trip?" ”
Lu Xiaochen pointed to the scattered people in front of him: "That's all." ”
"Is there anything more powerful? Just pick two great ones to follow. You can't look like you're going out of the city. ”
Lu Xiaochen nodded, pointed to the two casually, and asked one to control the carriage and one to accompany the guard.
Before a few people were ready, someone knocked on the door outside the garden.
"Lord Lu, Lord Lu ......"
Listen to the voice, this is the steward of the Zheng family.
They didn't come to find Lu Xiaochen, they came to find Bai Song.
Lu Xiaochen glanced at an entourage: "Go out, be smart, don't let people in." ”
Then he said to Bai Song: "You hide in the carriage first, and then go out of the house with me later, the official still doesn't believe that they dare to search the official's car." ”
There was a conversation outside.
"What's the matter? Lord Lu is busy right now and doesn't have time to receive you. ”
"I heard that there are thieves in this house, and the master asked the old slave to come and take a look."
"Thieves? Where did the thieves come from in broad daylight? Even if there are really thieves, don't we, as guards, know how to protect adults? What do you mean by bringing so many people? ”
"This official, the old slave is also acting on orders, and he has to see Lord Lu no matter what, so he can go back to restore his life. Please also ask the official to be accommodating, let the old slave go in and have a look, and then leave. ”
"Then you will be here later, and I will talk about it after I have asked the lord for advice."
Seeing that the person in front of him couldn't get off for too long, Lu Xiaochen also took the opportunity to get into the car and asked someone to go out through the back door.
Before going out, Lu Xiaochen didn't forget to look up at the inn on the third floor, but the previous few people were gone, which only made people more uneasy.
As soon as I got out of the back door, someone immediately blocked the road, and there were more than 20 people in the front and back alleys.
The alley was not wide, only enough for a carriage to move, and these people would not let it, and the carriage could not move at all.
The Zheng family's housekeeper at the main gate is still half a character, but what is the family behind the siege?
Lu Xiaochen was furious, he was patrolling the imperial history, and there was actually a family member who came to stop his car!
"Fuck off! Have you eaten bear heart and leopard gall? Dare to stop this official! ”
The leader was humble in front of him, and he repeatedly confessed, but he refused to retreat, and only said: "The adults are angry, and the villain also heard that there are thieves here." After all, this is the Zheng family's house, and it is related to the safety of adults. The master of the family said that he must check it out, and please forgive me. If the adult doesn't let the villain check, the villain can't go back. ”
"Listening to your tone, it seems that you suspect that this official is a thief in your mouth. Do you want to let it or not! ”
"Excuse me, let the villain take a look inside the car, and let the adult leave immediately."
"Good! Very good! It is worthy of being the largest family in Youzhou, and it is very majestic in Jixian County! ”
That guy is also a seasoned character, and he knows that it is inappropriate to stop the inspection of the imperial history, and he doesn't want to talk nonsense with the other party.
Unexpectedly, he took Lu Xiaochen off guard, stepped forward, and directly opened the car curtain!
"No one?"
Jia Ding was stunned, this was different from what he expected.
"Now, this family master, have you seen enough?"
The family quickly withdrew his hand, retreated, and knelt on the ground: "My lord, atone for your sins!" ”
"Atonement!"
Lu Xiaochen roared angrily, grabbed the sword of the guard on his side, and stabbed it with a sword, directly piercing the shoulder of the family.
The family snorted, gritted his teeth, beads of sweat rolled down his face, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The surrounding family members were shocked when they saw this, and they all subconsciously stepped forward.
The family member who was stabbed into the body with a sword raised his hand and signaled his subordinates not to mess around.
Lu Xiaochen shouted: "You are so bold?" Could it be that you dare to assassinate the patrol Yushi in the territory of Datang? ”
"The adults are angry, but the villains don't mean that, but they are worried about the safety of the adults, so they act offensively. The sword of the adult, the villain is willing. ”
"Then you won't let this official leave! I have delayed the important matter of this official, but you are the only one who asks! ”
As he spoke, Lu Xiaochen suddenly withdrew his sword, and the family fell to his knees in pain.
At the bottom of the car, Bai Song secretly scolded Lu Xiaochen for talking a lot of nonsense, so he hurried away.
I know that the people of the Zheng family are bold, even if they are patrolling the royal history, they dare to check.
I wanted to listen to him and hide in the carriage, and I was arrested by the Zheng family at this time.
Fortunately, I learned a trick from the TV series to hide from the bottom of the car.
I didn't expect that there could really be a person hidden under the car!
It's just like a crab propping up under the car, and every minute is torment.
In just a few minutes, Bai Song already felt that his limbs were weak, and if he dragged on for another minute or two, he would not be able to hold it anymore.
"They all dodged away, and they were blocked in the way of adults."
The family finally gave the order, and the carriage moved slowly.
The carriage went out of the alley, and Bai Song got out of the car, turned over and got into the car, and urged the guards to hurry up.
Now it's time to rush out of the city when everyone doesn't react, otherwise you will really be trapped in Jixian County.
In the car, Lu Xiaochen clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped straight, as if he had not yet gotten out of his previous anger.
"Daring! It's just lawless, and the little family dares to block the way of the Minister of Imperial History. Is there still a court in the eyes of the Zheng family? ”
"Hmph......" Bai Song snorted, "Even if they have done things to collude with enemy countries, what else can't they do?" Don't forget, if this matter is poked out, no one in the Zheng family will survive! For the sake of the whole family, what is the fate of a patrol of imperial history? Don't adults believe me? Still think I'm alarmist? ”
Lu Xiaochen lifted the curtain and asked, "How long is it until you leave the city?" ”
"There is still a stick of incense from the nearest east gate."
Lu Xiaochen lowered the curtain, took a deep breath, and tried his best to restore his bearing as an official.
"What exactly is your purpose? Why did you come to investigate the Zheng family? ”
"Is it okay to say that it is to serve the country and the people?"
"Huh......" Lu Xiaochen exhaled another breath of turbidity and changed the question, "Leaving Jixian County like this is not considered to have found evidence of the Zheng family's collaboration with the enemy." ”
"I know that this has to be done slowly. But until then, I can't put adults in danger. ”
"They all say that you are full of nonsense, and you can't believe a word of what you say. Now it seems that what the Zheng family said is not entirely wrong. ”
Bai Song didn't explain, sitting in the car and shaking his weak hands.
Lu Xiaochen looked at this young man who was much younger than himself, and suddenly had some doubts: "Are you really trying to save this official?" ”
"My lord is my only hope to bring down the Zheng family, the Zheng family colludes with foreign enemies, if they can't be punished as they deserve, this heavenly reason doesn't make sense."
"Are you so sure that this official will help you? Aren't you afraid that after saving the official, the official will immediately turn back to Beijing and no longer ask about the matter? ”
"If you really want to get out of the way, then I'll find another way. After all, I did cheat the adults in this matter, otherwise the adults should be bought by the Zheng family and the local government, right? It is estimated that he will only know about the Zheng family's sale of illicit salt. For adults, this situation is the best. ”
"What kind of ...... are you to be an official"
Lu Xiaochen originally stated that he was determined to be a good official.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that he had been drunk and dreamed of death in Jixian County in the past few days, and there were still many good things sent by local officials in that villa.
Be a good officer?
Is that a good match?
Lu Xiaochen was silent, thinking that although the poor boy in front of him made a feud with the Zheng family for personal grudges, at least he was not afraid of power and did not follow the flow.
Investigating the Zheng family caused trouble, which is also a righteous thing.
I vowed to contribute to the country and share the emperor's worries about leaving Beijing, but I didn't expect to forget it so quickly.
"This official knows how to find the evidence of the Zheng family's crimes."
Bai Song was taken aback and turned around: "How do you get it?" ”
"If you can't get the evidence from the Zheng family, then it's better to find it from the Turks."
"Looking for it from the Turks?"
"Among the officers of his entourage were members of the military, who were now at war with the Turkic army. There are many prisoners on both sides of the war, and as long as they go to the front line to investigate, they will definitely be able to find people who know the evidence of the Zheng family's crimes. ”
Bai Song's eyes lit up when he heard this.
That's right!
Who said that you can only find evidence of the Zheng family?
The people of the Zheng family are all cunning and inconvenient.
Most of those Turks are simple-minded, and they don't care about the evidence of collusion with the Zheng family, and it is far easier to find evidence from the Turks than to spend it in Jixian County.
"When you go out of the city today, this official will take you to meet someone, and you can follow him to the Northland front, and there may be an unexpected gain."
