"We also think it's unlikely." Zhu Xiaochuan said, "But the family members of their two families have been getting closer... Xiao Chen, you just know about this, but you must not spread it outside, especially for this sensitive person. It was also quite detrimental to Lu Jingke."
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake just now. I shouldn't have said that, but I was still anxious." Shao Wenzhao said hurriedly.
"Oh... I'm afraid only you two know about this, right?" Xiao Chen suddenly realized, "It's the news that your subordinates snooped on."
Jinyiwei's spies are everywhere, and almost all the important officials in the imperial court are under their surveillance, not to mention Wang Anbang and Lu Jing, Zhu Xiaochuan, Xiao Chen, and Shao Wenzhao are all among them.
Although the Jin Yiwei spies are powerful, the spies of the Criminal Department are not vegetarians. Their spies may be even more secretive than the Jin Yiwei.
Maybe some of the great ministers’ families have their spies undercover, or maybe they are family maids, bookboys, cooks...
The two of them must have been talking about this just now, so Shao Wenzhao blurted out his words.
"I'm just saying that you are extremely shrewd and can't hide anything from you! Only the three of us know about this matter now, not even the emperor." Zhu Xiaochuan said, "Just now I was discussing with Wen Zhao whether to report this matter to the emperor. ? But I’m afraid that it will implicate Lu Jing... After all, this is irrelevant."
"I think so too, it's definitely irrelevant! Mr. Lu Jing will never send a killer to kill Wang Anbang, right? Hahaha..." Shao Wenzhao laughed twice, trying to hide it, indicating that he was more or less suspicious in his heart.
"You two are really smart and confused for a moment!" Xiao Chen said, "This is not something that has nothing to do with Lu Jing. I also think it is irrelevant, but we have to let the emperor judge this. It's such a big deal. What do you think you are hiding from the emperor? Forget it, Wen Zhao, why didn’t you, Lord Zhu, report it earlier!"
"It's hard to talk to the Emperor about such unserious things. I don't even know how to say it." Zhu Xiaochuan smiled bitterly, "Besides, this matter is just reported by my subordinates. The truth or falseness is not yet known. In addition, you We can’t check it in detail, and we can’t check it clearly! If the emperor asks me if it’s true, I can’t guarantee it.”
As the saying goes, to catch thieves and stolen goods, to catch cheaters and couples, there must be solid evidence, and empty words are not enough.
In other words, unless you Jin Yiwei catches Lu Jing and Mrs. Li in bed, there is no way to make a conclusion.
It was impossible for Zhu Xiaochuan to let his men catch the traitor. Is it a joke that the reputation of the two great ministers was related?
If someone bites me but I am not caught, will I still be alive? Even if he is caught, can he still be a human being in the future?
"Then you must report the truth to the emperor, especially at this time!" Xiao Chen said, "Otherwise, if the investigation is in-depth in the future, once Lu Jing is found, not only will you two be extremely passive, but Lu Jing will not be able to explain clearly. ! I’m afraid that the emperor won’t be able to protect him at that time, so doing this now is not to cheat him, but for his own good! Don’t you think about which is the big thing and which is the small?”
"Xiao Chen, what you said makes sense, otherwise you will meet with the emperor with us later, and then you..." Before Zhu Xiaochuan could finish his words, he saw Lu Jing hurried over with a gloomy face.
After asking a few questions, he glanced in the direction of the inner house and said casually, "I'm going to see her...his Lord Wang's body."
"That's nothing to see." Zhu Xiaochuan said, "Without the head, there is only a body left, and there is a pool of blood. Don't go there. It's just that his wife was very sad. We all went to persuade her just now." For a moment, you can go and try to persuade me, you are still a colleague."
"Madam was crying so much just now that we couldn't ask her anything. Maybe she's feeling better now. Why don't you, Mr. Lu, ask a few words for us? It can be considered a favor to my little brother." Shao Wenzhao said.
"How can I get over it on my own? Besides, I don't know how to try cases. It's better for everyone to get over it together." Lu Jing said.
"She can't say anything when there are more people. It's better for you to go by yourself. It's hard work." Shao Wenzhao asked a few questions and urged Lu Jing to go quickly.
"Okay, I'll try to ask. If she doesn't want to tell me, there's nothing I can do." Lu Jing said and went half-heartedly.
The three people looked at his back with complicated eyes.
After a while, Lu Jing came out. Not only did he not ask anything from Mrs. Li, but he asked several people what they meant by putting all Wang Anbang's family under house arrest.
Originally, everyone felt like they were mourning after Wang Anbang's death, but now that this has happened, it is even more frightening.
Aren't you investigating the case? Why is it like a house raid? Mr. Shao, your officers are wandering around, looking around, and even want to search the wife's inner house. What do you want to do?
And why wasn't she even allowed to send someone to report the funeral to her family?
It's a little too much.
Shao Wenzhao quickly explained, and Lu Jing remained silent.
After being silent for a while, he then said, "Mrs. Li is a woman, and her claws are numb when she encounters this kind of thing. She has a good relationship with my wife, why not just take her to my house to live for a while, until you finish the investigation." Isn’t it too late to come back here?”
"It's the best." Zhu Xiaochuan said, "We just saw her heartbroken, and we were worried that it would be bad if she couldn't think about it for a moment and committed suicide. If Madam Ling could help comfort her, she would be fine. ."
"But try not to let her see anyone else. It's best for us to keep the cause of Mr. Wang Anbang's death a secret for now." Shao Wenzhao said.
"I know, I will send her back in person. How could such a thing happen if she is so embarrassed? It is really unimaginable!" Lu Jing said and hurriedly arranged the carriage and horses.
"Xiao Chen, what do you think?" Zhu Xiaochuan suddenly asked.
"I think the same as you." Xiao Chen said.
"It's too much for you to think so!" Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"Sigh... It doesn't matter what we think. It still depends on what the emperor thinks?" Shao Wenzhao said.
The on-site investigation was basically completed. After listening to the report, the three people went to the palace to report to the emperor.
In fact, this case has nothing to do with Xiao Chen. Li Wanjiang asked Zhu Xiaochuan and Shao Wenzhao to take charge of the investigation, but Zhu Xiaochuan insisted on involving Xiao Chen.
Because Xiao Chen is also very good at handling cases. The Zhang Juer's bizarre pregnancy case, the Queen's assassination case, the Prince's assassination case, the Tianxuanhui case, and the recent downtown murder case were all handled by Xiao Chen.
And don’t forget that Xiao Chen was the owner of the Xigong Editing Factory, and he was also a professional.
When Zhu Xiaochuan took over this case, he knew it would be extremely difficult, so he didn't care about anything but first brought Xiao Chen in.
Xiao Chen had a good relationship with him, and it was hard to refuse. He originally didn't want to follow him into the palace, but under the coercion of Zhu Xiaochuan and Shao Wenzhao, he could only half-heartedly come.
