It was early in the morning, and there was a busy scene in Dali Temple.
Seeing that the Yunzhou Prefect's case was approaching, Lu Zhizhang was so anxious that he couldn't express it in words.
After all, this case is related to who will get the position of Dali Temple Qing. Now he is competing with Zhao Shuhai for this position. Zhao Shuhai has a strong background, but he does not.
Therefore, if he wants to stand out, he can only solve the case of Yunzhou Prefect as soon as possible. Only by solving this major case can he be able to compete with Zhao Shuhai.
It's a pity that a full month has passed, and there are still no clues about this case. He can't find where the Yunzhou Prefect has fled.
On the other side, Zhao Shuhai is still doing nothing every day.
Lu Zhizhang felt very unconvinced every time he thought about the possibility that an unlearned person like Zhao Shuhai could become his immediate boss.
So in the past few days, Lu Zhizhang has been working more and more sleepless and forgetful about this case, but Zhao Shuhai still takes a leisurely stroll every day. He even interferes with Lu Zhizhang's work sometimes, so Lu Zhizhang only talked to the boy next to him this morning. He ordered, "If Zhao Shuhai comes into my house again, just say I'm not here."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Zhizhang finished speaking, Zhao Shuhai stepped directly into Lu Zhizhang's office area.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you are just joking. I heard your voice. How can you say you are not here?"
As soon as he saw Zhao Shuhai, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but subconsciously frowned. However, after a moment, Lu Zhizhang still smiled and said, "I wonder what Mr. Zhao will teach me when he comes here today?"
Hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, Zhao Shuhai suddenly became serious, "It's nothing to ask for advice, but I received an arson case early this morning. I have very little experience in handling cases. I'm afraid of trying the wrong case, so I I think Mr. Lu is very experienced, so I can come to Mr. Lu for advice, and please don’t be stingy in asking for Mr. Lu’s advice.”
What Zhao Shuhai said was somewhat yin and yang, but Lu Zhizhang didn't know what he was doing, and his tone was somewhat unclear.
After all, he had never tried any case before.
Although he clearly knew that Zhao Shuhai must not have held it in, Lu Zhizhang still accepted Zhao Shuhai's proposal with a smile because he wanted to know what kind of medicine Zhao Shuhai was selling in his gourd.
"I wonder what case Mr. Zhao came to see me for?" Lu Zhizhang asked in a low voice.
Seeing that Lu Zhizhang actually accepted his move, Zhao Shuhai immediately smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this case is related to you, Mr. Lu."
"Is it related to me? How about it?" Lu Zhizhang asked calmly.
At this moment, Zhao Shuhai was in no hurry to sell the matter, "I wonder if Mr. Lu still remembers the family of Zhou Shilang? I remember that Mr. Lu was very close to his family."
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, Lu Zhizhang said expressionlessly, "I am indeed close to their family, but our closeness does not mean that I have any relationship with them. Mr. Zhao asked me to analyze a case. In the end, should I do it?" Is it to spite me?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhao Shuhai immediately said, "How could it be? Mr. Lu was joking. In fact, this is what happened. There was a fire in Yangliu Town last night."
Hearing Zhao Shuhai say that there was a fire in Yangliu Town, the boy beside Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but said, "The fire in Yangliu Town has nothing to do with our capital. They should put out the fire and arrest the culprit who set the fire." Mr. Zhao, why do you accept all cases?"
Being robbed by the boy, Zhao Shuhai was somewhat unhappy, but thinking that this case was really interesting, he still said, "I had the same idea as you at the beginning. I don't think this case has anything to do with me." What? But I soon discovered that I wanted to make this case simple."
After hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, the boy immediately said, "What do you want to do, sir?"
At this time, Zhao Shuhai could only say slowly, "This case is not as simple as we thought. You don't know. This manipulation
The murderer of the fire was actually Xu Tianyi, the son-in-law of the Zhou family, and this boy actually burned down the house of the Zhou family. I heard that the fire that night burned a woman from the Zhou family to death, and also took several Xu Tianyi with her. The servant who went there was also burned to death. "
Lu Zhizhang was also surprised when he heard Zhao Shuhai mention Xu Tianyi. Naturally, he had some impression of Xu Tianyi. This man seemed to be gentle and polite to everyone. Therefore, Lu Zhizhang really couldn't distinguish Xu Tianyi from the extremely evil person. linked to arsonists.
However, Lu Zhizhang couldn't directly speak for Xu Tianyi, so Lu Zhizhang just asked Zhao Shuhai tactfully, "You said that Xu Tianyi was an arsonist. Did you see it with your own eyes, or do you have any definite evidence?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's questioning, how could Zhao Shuhai satisfy these two points? After all, he had only read a simple report from Yangliu Town on this case, so he could only talk about it and said, "Although I did not attend the scene in person, Zhou Zhou All the family members of the family identified this person, and he was missing during the fire that day. The Yamen of Yangliu Town began to investigate the entire town early the next morning, but they could not find him. This was also because he was now from the capital. The case was just reported to me, and I heard that Xu Tianyi might have entered the capital, so I naturally went to Xu Tianyi’s house as soon as possible, but in the end, what do you think I knew?”
Facing Zhao Shuhai's question, Lu Zhizhang just shook his head, and then Zhao Shuhai also said to Lu Zhizhang, "I wasted no time as soon as I went to the Xu Mansion. The people in the Xu Mansion only said that Xu Tianyi came back this morning, and he When he came back, he asked the housekeeper for questioning. After that, they began to sort out the gold and silver treasures of Xu Mansion. In the end, he and the housekeeper left Xu Mansion directly with large and small bags. No one knows where they went now. No one knows whether Xu Tianyi can come back."
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, Lu Zhizhang's face became a little unhappy.
At the moment, Lu Zhizhang felt that there was something strange in his heart that he couldn't explain for some reason, but he couldn't tell what the strangeness was at the moment.
When Zhao Shuhai saw Lu Zhizhang's expression. He couldn't help but said to Lu Zhizhang, "Mr. Lu, you are quite familiar with Xu Tianyi, and you also have contacts. Why don't you tell me where I should go to catch Xu Tianyi?"
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, the boy beside Lu Zhizhang immediately retorted, "Mr. Zhao, you don't need to be so arrogant when you speak. We are not familiar with Xu Tianyi, so what you said seems like we, the adults, are protecting Xu Tianyi." of."
When Zhao Shuhai heard what the young man said, he couldn't help but clarify his attitude and said, "Don't be so full of words. Maybe he really has some dealings with Xu Tianyi. After all, I heard about Xu Tianyi." The conflict between Tianyi and the Zhou family was just to take away the Zhou family's property, and Zhou Yaoniang was poisoned by Xu Tianyi. Now that I think about it, could it be that the real culprit in Mr. Lu's previous cases was Xu Tianyi? But because Mr. Lu protected the other party, so Fang Dali became the scapegoat. After all, no matter how you look at these things, the beneficiaries are all God’s will.”
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, the servant was very angry, but Lu Zhizhang seemed to be quite shocked. He looked at Zhao Shuhai and said, "What did you just say?"
Zhao Shuhai thought he had angered Lu Zhizhang. He wanted to see what the smiling tiger would look like after being angered, so he just repeated, "I wonder if you are covering up Xu Tianyi!"
However, Lu Zhizhang did not show anger at this sentence. He just said to Zhao Shuhai, "I'm not asking you this sentence, but the last sentence!"
Zhao Shuhai was a little confused by Lu Zhizhang's excitement, but he still repeated, "Maybe Fang Dali was wronged, and the beneficiary of this incident in the end was Fang Dali!"
After hearing this, Lu Zhizhang finally realized the unreasonableness of this matter.
Although he didn't want to see Zhao Shuhai, Zhao Shuhai's cynicism made a ripple in his heart.
Yes, this is where the irrationality lies.
He then ignored Zhao Shuhai. He just turned to look at the boy beside him and asked, "When is Fang Dali's sentence?"
The boy just counted the days on his fingers, "It's the day after tomorrow, and the execution will be carried out the day after tomorrow."
. "
Lu Zhizhang couldn't sit still when he heard that time was so tight. Although the Yunzhou Prefecture case needed to be investigated, he might not be able to find out the Yunzhou Prefecture case by himself. If he caused any unjust, false or wrongful cases on this basis, what would happen? Things that make oneself irrecoverable.
So Lu Zhizhang couldn't sit still anymore. He just said to the boy, "Let's go to the Swamp Prison quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhizhang planned to leave.
Zhao Shuhai did not expect Lu Zhizhang to react like this, so Zhao Shuhai immediately said to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, you haven't said anything yet! What should I do with my case?"
Lu Zhizhang considered that there might be some problems with Xu Tianyi, so before leaving, he said to Zhao Shuhai, "Hurry up and block all the major gates in the capital, and strictly check the passers-by! I think Mr. Zhao should have this ability." Bar?"
Faced with Lu Zhizhang's question, Zhao Shuhai just snorted, "Of course there is no problem, this matter is just a matter of a word from me."
Zhao Shuhai wanted to praise himself a little more, but he didn't expect that after Lu Zhizhang told Zhao Shuhai what to do, he took the servant and left his office directly.
Zhao Shuhai was somewhat asking for trouble.
But considering that although he has human protection, if he wants to become a regular employee, he will have no achievements at all, which is unreasonable.
So he decided to deal with this seemingly simple case first.
