"Since it's not yours, let me ask you, why does this long sword appear in your home?" Lu Zhizhang asked sharply.
Fang Dali's face was full of innocence and confusion: "Sir! You ask me, who am I going to ask? You chased me away like a dog last night, and the villain was caught by the Jinwu Guards before he even had time to go home! Where do I have time? To find such a sword."
Seeing that Fang Dali was still quibbling, Lu Zhizhang was instantly angry. At that moment, his patience had been exhausted by the other party, so he only said to Fang Dali angrily, "Now it's been proven with irrefutable evidence, you are still here." This is nonsense! I don’t think you’ll shed tears until you see the coffin!”
"Sir, I'm not talking nonsense. Everything I said is the truth! Sir!" Fang Dali also felt aggrieved, so he immediately tried to defend himself.
However, Lu Zhizhang no longer wanted to listen to Fang Dali's words. In his opinion, there was not a word of truth in Fang Dali's mouth, and further questions would just delay time.
So Lu Zhizhang just said loudly, "Come here, take Fang Dali into custody and beat him sixty times. I want to see how long he can keep his stubbornness!"
When he heard that he was playing sixty big boards, not only Fang Dali but also Fang Yue'er seemed to be frightened by the opponent.
"Sir! I was wronged!" Fang Dali shouted loudly.
Fang Yue'er only cried out for her cousin, "Sir, although my cousin looks fierce, he is definitely not such a vicious person. Besides, he has no grudges against anyone. Why would he do such a thing?" Come?"
After hearing Fang Yue'er's defense, Lu Zhizhang only said, "Fang Yue'er, do you really don't know why he did this?"
Fang Yue'er was shocked when she heard this, "Sir, of course I don't know. You don't suspect that I am conspiring with my cousin, do you?"
Lu Zhizhang looked at Fang Yue'er coldly. His gaze was too sharp. When Lu Zhizhang looked at Fang Yue'er like this, he couldn't help but lower his head immediately.
Lu Zhizhang then said coldly, word by word, "It is possible. After all, your cousin strangled the maid of the Zhou Mansion! You have a grudge against the old lady of the Zhou Mansion! In order to take revenge, it is not unreasonable for you to join forces with your cousin. possible."
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Fang Yue'er immediately said, "Sir, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Lu Zhizhang said, "Not yet, this is just my guess!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yue'er couldn't help laughing, "Guess? Sir? You can decide between life and death just by guessing. Then can I also say that your ex-wife did not die at the hands of a killer? She was killed by someone else." Killed!"
Hearing Fang Yue'er's words, Lu Zhizhang's expression immediately darkened.
He stared at Fang Yue'er as if he were looking at a dead thing.
Fang Yue'er was panicked by being stared at like this, so she just changed her words and said, "Sir, you are guessing, and I am also guessing. I am just guessing that you won't be angry, right?"
Hearing that this little woman was still here and challenging Lu Zhizhang's majesty without fear of death, the officials around Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but immediately reprimanded the woman and said, "You still don't shut up! How dare you make fun of Mr. Lu? He is the only one you can make fun of." Of?"
After hearing the scolding, Fang Yue'er finally shut up. She finally felt how scary Lu Zhizhang was, and felt even more annoyed by her offending behavior just now.
Then Lu Zhizhang just whispered, "It's obvious that you are quite revengeful. When Mrs. Zhou treated you like this, don't you hate her?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Fang Yue'er also had a look of hatred in her eyes.
"Hate! Why don't you hate it! That's why the first thing I did when I came out was to report Zhou to the official!"
"The slave accuser mainly beats me to death. My injuries are not healed yet, but if the ever-powerful Mrs. Zhou Shilang can lie in prison, my pain is worth it!"
After saying this, Fang Yue'er only looked at Lu Zhizhang and said, "Sir, although there is hatred between me and the Zhou family, I will never harm innocent people. Others have never offended me, so why should I attack them?" What? If I really wanted to kill, I should kill Zhou! But if I killed her, I would still go to jail, so I didn’t kill her!"
After hearing Fang Yue'er's defense, Lu Zhizhang seemed to think it made sense.
At the same time, Fang Dali, who had been beaten sixty times, was finally dragged over.
He looked like he was dying. He was dragged and supported by two government officials. When he arrived in front of the hall, they threw Fang Dali to the ground.
When Fang Yue'er saw her cousin's appearance, she was absolutely stunned.
She knelt down, hugged her cousin and said, "Cousin, why were you beaten like this!"
Even if Fang Dali was beaten like this, he only said to Lu Zhi "Sir, I am innocent, I have not killed anyone!"
Seeing that Fang Dali, who had been beaten for sixty times, still refused to admit his guilt, Lu Zhizhang felt quite shocked.
If there wasn't so much evidence in front of him, Lu Zhizhang would have doubted whether he had wronged a good person.
However, the evidence is irrefutable, does he still want to overturn his own evidence?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but look at Fang Dali and said, "You said you are innocent, but why did you show up at the Guandao Tavern the night before yesterday?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's inquiry, Fang Dali just fell silent again.
His cousin Fang Yue'er was also filled with panic when she saw her cousin's appearance, "Cousin, you say it! You should say it! If you say it, Master Lu might be able to overturn the case for you!"
However, Fang Dali just closed his eyes and refused to speak.
Lu Zhizhang also understood at this moment that Fang Dali was a tough guy and it was impossible to find a breakthrough from him.
So the only thing he could do at the moment was to detain him first, while he went to find other breakthroughs elsewhere.
Therefore, Lu Zhizhang only said, "Quit!"
Upon hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Fang Yue'er immediately said, "Master Lu, can we leave?"
Lu Zhizhang just looked at Fang Yuer coldly and said, "You can leave, he has to be imprisoned!"
"Sir, why are you imprisoning my cousin?"
Lu Zhizhang was too lazy to explain anything to Fang Yue'er. This case was not under his control. He only took over it when a lower-level official came to report that the case might be related to the Yunzhou Prefect's case.
However, after looking into it now, it turns out that this case may not have anything to do with that case. He just made a fuss.
So he only said to Fang Yue'er, "If there is evidence, I will arrest you as well!"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Fang Yue'er shivered in fright. She immediately explained, "Sir, I have nothing to do with that case! Please don't wrongly accuse a good person."
However, Lu Zhizhang no longer wanted to pay attention to Fang Yue'er, and he went down directly.
After going out, the boy next to Lu Zhizhang only said to Lu Zhizhang, "Sir, since this case has nothing to do with the Yunzhou Prefecture case, let's pass it on to Zhao Shuhai. Isn't he also serving as the governor of Shangjing now? This case is not the case. It’s a big case for him, wouldn’t it be nice if we let him take the headache away?” Kanshu La
When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he just glanced at the boy and lectured him, "How can there be any reason to give up halfway?"
Besides, this case has already reached this point, and now we only have a little bit of evidence to close the case.
When the young man heard Lu Zhizhang's reprimand, he naturally stopped talking. Then, Lu Zhizhang got on his horse, and the young man immediately followed him, "Sir, where are we going now?"
When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he said coldly, "Of course I'm going to see the head of the Zhou family. After all, so many people in her family have died, so she might know something inside."
After hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, the boy immediately got on the horse and said, "Sir, shall we set off quickly?"
Lu Zhizhang just nodded coldly when he heard this, and then the two of them got on their horses at the same time and headed to Shangjing Yamen Prison.
While passing through the Yunshuitian Street section, they unexpectedly encountered a carriage. The word "Jin" hanging on the carriage only made Lu Zhizhang dazzled.
King Jin is back?
The governor of Yunzhou is now nowhere to be seen alive. Could it have something to do with the fact that he is dead but not found dead?
But while he was looking at the carriage in a daze, the curtain in the carriage was suddenly opened.
Then only a beautiful face emerged from the curtain that he thought about day and night.
The woman's eyebrows were curved, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her clear deer eyes only added a bit of gentleness.
She covered her lips with her hands, which seemed uncomfortable. No matter how many times he looked at her, his heart would beat like a drum for her.
She seemed to be a lot more round and round, and a pair of slender hands behind her was gently patting her back.
The picture was dazzling no matter how he looked at it, and he had also heard people say that she seemed to be pregnant, and she was carrying Prince Jin's child.
In their previous life, he had obviously been in conflict with her so many times. Whether she loved him or not, he had obviously been husband and wife with her for so many years. However, until her death, they had never had a relationship. child.
When he thought of this, Lu Zhizhang's eyes became sharp.
As if feeling the gaze, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but raise her head.
He never thought that he would meet Lu Zhizhang's eyes unexpectedly.
The boy beside Lu Zhizhang was originally following Lu Zhizhang. Seeing that just now Lu Zhizhang was just galloping, but now he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped on the street.
The boy couldn't help but said, "Sir, what are you looking at?"
Then when the boy followed Lu Zhizhang's gaze and looked over, he also spotted Princess Jin on the carriage opposite.
Seeing his master's eyes following her wanderingly, the boy couldn't help but sigh silently.
How come it has been so many years, but my master still hasn't forgotten this Princess Jin.
On the other side, Jiang Nianjiao only glanced at him. She was just slightly startled, and then she looked away like a stranger.
But when she retracted her gaze and returned to the carriage, those long slender hands opened the curtain again.
Then the face of King Jin was revealed.
Zhao Yanzhen only glanced across the street with a cold expression, and then realized that the person opposite was actually Lu Zhizhang.
He just smiled at Lu Zhizhang. It was obvious that his smile was like the spring breeze blowing on his face. However, in Lu Zhizhang's view, that smile was full of the sarcasm of a winner.
