"How else can we agree to a mutual agreement?" Gong Shouli smiled shamelessly, "Anyway, you are in big trouble. With Wang Anbang's head, this is irrefutable proof. How dare you say that you are not the murderer? Even if you didn't kill the person, then you should Hurry up and find the murderer, why are you just making noise with me?"
"Your wife is the murderer!" Xiao Chen pointed at the door and shouted.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, you kid, why are you going crazy? We are all familiar with each other, and I will sue you for defamation!" Gong Shouli said, "What does this matter have to do with us? I Luzhu is a good woman with no power to restrain a chicken, and I, Gong Shouli, am an upright eunuch who abides by the law, how could I do such a thing?"
Besides, do you have evidence?
"Well, you old Gong, you turned your back on me and refused to recognize me!" Xiao Chen said angrily, "Do you believe that I asked the Jin Yiwei to arrest you and torture you?"
"Do you believe I can hold on?" Gong Shouli said with a smile, "Anyway, I will never give in."
"Are you still wronged? The real culprit is you!" Xiao Chen said.
"Who knows?" Gong Shouli said.
"Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know!" Xiao Chen said.
"The emperor knows it, and the prince knows it," Gong Shouli said, "Then what can you do to me?"
"You ungrateful dead eunuch!" Xiao Chen cursed.
"You can't say that." Gong Shouli said, "I will never forget the kindness that the emperor and prince have shown me, and I will never betray the righteousness of Fatty Ling'er and the others!"
As for you, Xiao Chen, what kindness do you have to me? What do I have to do with you?
No, no!
For a moment, Xiao Chen actually felt that Gong Shouli's words seemed to make sense.
"I'm going to see my son first. You stand here and don't move. Think about it for a while and don't talk nonsense in the future. You are such an old man and don't always let me educate you. You are not my son... ..." Gong Shouli left Xiao Chen to reflect and went to see his son.
Xiao Chen really needs to reflect for a while. It feels like I'm trapped in a cocoon.
While he was introspecting, Lu Jing suddenly came to visit in person... It seemed that this Lu Jing also had a guilty conscience and came to inquire about the situation without asking.
After a few polite words, he asked if there was any progress in Mr. Wang Anbang's case.
"There has been no progress yet. Everyone is in a state of panic. I have just come back from Jinyiwei. Lord Lu and Lord Wang Anbang have been officials in the same court for so many years, and they have a very good relationship. They must also know some inside information? In Lord Lu's opinion, who can Could it be the murderer?" Xiao Chen asked.
"How do I know this?" Lu Jing said, "Wang Anbang has offended a lot of people. After all, he has been a civil servant and a heavenly official for so many years, and he can be equally exposed to rain and dew. It is inevitable that he will cause a lot of resentment..."
"Those small grievances are not worth mentioning." Xiao Chen said, "The main thing is the big festivals that can kill him, such as the hatred for killing his father and the hatred for taking his wife."
"This, this, this shouldn't happen, right?" Lu Jing took out a sweat towel and wiped his sweat, "Is such a thing really possible?"
"I don't think so. I don't know if there is such a thing, but the emperor is pressing hard. If the case cannot be solved within a month, the heads of Lord Zhu, Shao Wenzhao and myself will be needed, so no matter what All subtle clues and rumors must be verified!" Xiao Chen said, "If there is trouble for you, Mr. Lu, don't blame me."
"This, this, this... what does this have to do with me?" Lu Jing's expression changed, sweat dripped from his forehead, but the room was actually not hot at all.
"It's not that it's directed at you, Mr. Lu, all of us are suspects!" Xiao Chen said, "None of the six ministries and nine ministers, princes and ministers can escape! But everyone who has a close relationship with Mr. Wang must be thoroughly investigated. We must investigate every detail!"
"Uh..." Lu Jing's eyes wandered and he hesitated to speak.
"What does Mr. Lu have to say?" Xiao Chen said.
"Huh? No, no." Lu Jing said hurriedly, "I just thought that doing this would make people panic and make the whole city uneasy."
"Is Mrs. Li okay at home?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"It's okay, it's okay... Oh, it's not that good. I cried several times this day. Fortunately, my wife was with me, so nothing went wrong." Lu Jing said.
"As long as nothing goes wrong." Xiao Chen said, "We have to go to the house to ask her for advice later."
"Why is she still being interrogated?" Lu Jing's eyes widened instantly.
"It can't be called a trial. It's just asking questions and going through the procedures." Xiao Chen said, "Of course we don't want to do anything, but we have no choice but to offend him."
"She's a woman who doesn't know anything." Lu Jing said, "I don't think it's necessary."
"I don't think it's necessary, but Zhu Houye and Shao Wenzhao said that we must ask. They are both people who have been handling cases for a long time and have more experience in this than me. Since we have to do this, there must be their way. It makes sense..." Xiao Chen said, "But Mr. Lu, don't worry, it's just a question. Once you ask clearly, you'll be fine."
"That's not right... I don't have anything to worry about?" Lu Jing said, "I just think that Wang Anbang is dead. As colleagues, it is not good for us to treat her wife like this."
"Master Lu, I have been talking for so long, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused with me on purpose?" Xiao Chen sighed, "Or is the friendship between us brothers not strong enough?"
"Xiao Chen, what do you mean by this? Brother, I really don't understand." Lu Jing blinked and said.
"If you want others to not know, you have to do it yourself!" Xiao Chen said, "There is no airtight wall in the world, and there is nothing that can be hidden. You think that God doesn't know and the earth doesn't know, but in fact, God knows and the earth knows. You I know, maybe it’s an irrelevant matter, but it can be big or small, Mr. Lu, you have to think about it..."
"This, this..." Lu Jing's face changed from white to red.
"If you tell me some things, brother, you still have room for maneuver. If others find out, you will be passive. No matter how close I am to you, brother, I won't be able to speak for you. After all, the matter is very important. Several heads are no joke." Xiao Chen said.
"Oh...it turns out you know everything." Lu Jing let out a long breath and seemed to feel a little more relaxed, "I'm really not afraid of you knowing about this matter. Although you, Xiao Chen, are not a good person, but But you are responsible and loyal! Brother, I came to see you here because I actually wanted to tell you about this, but I couldn’t speak when the matter came up."
"Hmph, your brother can't speak now. Why did you have the nerve to do it then?" Xiao Chen said as if he knew everything.
"Brother, I deserve to die!" Lu Jing said, "Ever since I saw her for the first time... and Mrs. Li, I have been thinking about her as if I was possessed by a ghost. I also knew that it was absolutely impossible to do this, but I just chose to do it. I couldn’t help it! Speaking of which, it was two years ago, when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, she came to my garden to enjoy the flowers and got drunk..."
