Volume 5 The Courtyard of the Deep Mansion Chapter 12 The Origin
It was already dark, but Su Zhuo was still sitting in the gazebo and thinking hard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yan Linglong suddenly appeared in front of her and said, "They're here!"
Su Zhuo stopped his hand and said to himself, "It should be here......" As he spoke, he stood by the stream, fell to the ground, and looked at the gazebo for a while, and finally showed a smile on his face. He got up and said to Yan Linglong: "Let's go! Let's find out the real culprit!"
Yan Linglong shook her head and said with a smile: "I am a thief, and everyone outside is an official." How can I go and see them?"
Su Zhuo smiled, didn't force it, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the side hall of the front yard.
In the side hall, Lu Xiaoru had already welcomed Zhuge Zheng of Dali Temple and invited him to sit down. Everyone in the hall stood up respectfully and peeked at this big official. Lu Xiaoru bowed and saluted: "Lord Zhuge , I don't know when you arrived in Jinling, why didn't the lower officials receive any news......
Zhuge Zhengguo's face, his face was a little dark, he looked scary, but he spoke very kindly, and said: "I was also in a hurry, I didn't stop all the way, and I arrived at this time!"
Lu Xiaoru was stunned and asked, "I don't know if the adults are in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
Zhuge Zheng said with a smile: "Isn't it just for the Ling family's case? Lord Lu doesn't know anything, right? When I was the prefect of Jinling in the past, Qin Lei was my subordinate. This time, he came to ask for help, and I rushed here. ”
Lu Xiaoru was taken aback, glanced at Qin Lei beside Zhuge Zheng, and said hesitantly: "The lower officials really don't know that Qin Zhutou and the adult still have this relationship...... But...... The lower officials found out that Qin Lei was an accomplice in this case, and he was about to be arrested!"
Zhuge Zheng was stunned for a moment and glanced at Qin Lei. Qin Lei was even more dumbfounded, and said loudly: "Lu ...... Lord Lu, where did this come from? Half a month ago, you sent me to Yuezhou on an errand, and it was only after I left that something happened to the Ling family. How does this have anything to do with me?"
Lu Xiaoru was shocked and secretly shouted: "It's not good, it's a trick!"
At this moment, Su Zhuo laughed, walked into the hall, and said, "Su Zhuo has seen Lord Zhuge !"
Zhuge Zheng said: "You are Su Zhuo, it seems that only you can explain the matter here to me?"
Qin Lei stepped forward and said, "Brother Su, what's going on, how did I become an accomplice?"
Su Zhuo stretched out his hand to stop him and glanced at everyone, some had already guessed, and more were still in the dark. He smiled lightly and said, "Brother Qin, don't blame, the little brother made this decision all to save Ling Shuang." ”
Zhuge Zheng asked: "What the hell is going on, don't come quickly!"
Lu Xiaoru wanted to stop Su Zhuo from speaking, but because Zhuge Zheng was on the side, his heart was really a mess. Su Zhuo said: "Originally, the Ling Shuang case was to be executed at noon today. Although I know that Ling Shuang was wronged, this case has been determined by the Lu Governor's Mansion as an iron case. I can't make a sound alone, so I can only make dangerous moves. I know that Governor Lu has always regarded Qin Zhutou as a thorn in his side, and he wants to get rid of it quickly. So he lied that Qin Lei was an accomplice in this case, and asked Governor Lu to delay the execution, which saved Ling Shuang's life! As early as when I came to Jinling, I heard that Qin Zhutou happened to be out, so I felt that there was something strange about this matter, so I asked someone to quickly send news to Qin Zhutou. Fortunately, he has heard about it and is rushing back, so he just caught up!"
His explanation made everyone suddenly realize. Shen Donglai said: "No wonder Qin Lei came to see me and said that there are 100,000 urgent matters, I must rush over today, it turns out that it is all your arrangement!"
Su Qin understood what was going on, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and hated herself for blaming Su Zhuo. Shen Donglai, Lu Kang and others saw that Su Zhuo had a plan again, and they hated it, but unfortunately Zhuge Zheng was present at this moment, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
Lu Xiaoru smiled dryly: "Su Gongzi is really a good plan!" The voice was full of bitter hatred.
Zhuge Zheng said: "Well, although you are eager to save people, how do you know that Ling Shuang was wronged? If you don't find out the evidence, I can't spare you!"
Su Zhuo smiled: "This matter has to start from the beginning." As early as four or five days ago, as soon as I left Chang'an City, a person gave me a letter, which was a letter from this Suqin girl. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and continued: "This letter is only four words, that is, Ling Shuang is in trouble! At that time, I didn't have time to think about it, so I rushed to Jinling. But I'm a little strange, I'm uncertain, how could this popular Jinling Kabuki send someone to send me a message?"
Zhuge Zheng also nodded, feeling that something was indeed strange. Su Zhuo continued: "At that time, I thought of a high-ranking man in Jinling, that is, the son of the Governor of Lu, Lu Kang! As early as a few months ago, I had suffered a secret loss under this Son Lu, so I had to keep an eye on him. I guess it must be that Lu Gongzi knows my whereabouts, so Miss Su Qin went to ask him to help find me, right?"
He suddenly asked Su Qin, and Su Qin didn't hesitate, so he nodded. Su Zhuo said again: "Since I have doubts in my heart, I can't help but guard against it. So I asked a friend to rush to the old house of Gusu Ling's house for me to find out what happened to Lingshuang, while I rushed to Jinling alone. However, along the way, I always felt that someone was secretly following, and then I thought that it was the person who sent the letter, and he must be Lu Kang's person!"
Lu Kang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Nonsense, this son can't understand what you're talking about at all!"
Su Zhuo smiled indifferently and shouted outside the house: "Huaping, come in!"
As soon as the words fell, Hua Ping escorted a man in black into the house. Su Zhuo knew that Yan Linglong had captured this person and asked Hua Ping to bring it. When Su Qin saw the man's face, he exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's you!"
Su Shu said: "This is the person who sent me the letter, the person who has been secretly monitoring me for these days. ”
Zhuge Zheng asked sharply, "What is your name, who is it?"
The man cowered, didn't dare to panic, and said, "The villain's name is Jin Yang, and he is Lu Gongzi's doorman......
Lu Kang said angrily: "Nonsense! I don't know this person at all, Su Zhuo, are you just looking for someone to frame me? Why should I spy on you?"
Su Zhuo didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you don't admit it, you know that I have some ways to investigate the case, so I want this person to report my progress to you from time to time, and you can make a hindrance from it and make a profit from it! However, I think he hasn't reported anything useful to you, right? Because I have a more clever friend to help me again, these are all things you didn't expect, right?"
Lu Kang snorted, and was speechless for a while when Su Zhuo said the central matter.
Su Zhuo said again: "Because I learned that someone was following, I could only secretly investigate, and secretly get rid of my friends, so that I could find out the truth without letting others know, so as not to make the mistake of Renji Temple again!"
Zhuge Zheng said: "You said so much, but you didn't make it clear why Ling Shuang was wronged?"
Su Zhuo said: "Actually, this matter was originally very simple, adults think about it, if Ling Shuang is the murderer, why would he lock himself up at the scene of the murder and wait for someone to arrest him? Moreover, there was no blood stain on Ling Shuang's body at that time, he came here temporarily, and he did not change his clothes, so how could he not have a little blood stain on his body? Third, the murder weapon used by the murderer to kill was also missing, and it was not on Ling Shuang's body at all. With these suspicions, can't you still suspect that Ling Shuang was wronged?"
Zhuge Zheng nodded, frowned, took the case file from the scrivener's hand, looked at it slowly, and said leisurely: "Yes, it is indeed very problematic!"
