Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 129 Extra 2

Early the next morning, Lu Yan went to Jingzhao Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Sun Xu sighing at Wenjuan.

Lu Yan walked over and said, “What’s wrong with Master Sun?”

Sun Xu sighed and said: “The secretary Lang Tong’s daughter of the age, the eleventh mother of the Tong family is missing. This was just reported by the county government. I have a bad feeling.”

Meng Wei said on the side: “Six counties, seven corpses, the Criminal Ministry sent people to each house for inquiries, and found that they had no contact with each other, which ruled out the possibility of revenge.”

Lu Yan took the paper and said in a deep voice, “What’s the action on the criminal ministry?”

Meng Wei whispered: “Master Yao sent someone to stare at some of the servants in Beijing who had a bad tone.”

The biggest clue to the current case is obtained through an autopsy.

Although these women suffered serious injuries to their chests, hips, and waists, it was discovered after the autopsy that there were no traces of **** or adultery left in their bodies. Therefore, the first suspected by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs were some powerful ministers in the court.

Sun Xu shook his head and said: “This case is really difficult to handle. I have 2,000 eunuchs, and at least 300 people who have been awarded Grade 7 or above.”

Lu Canjun said: “This matter involves the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Bureau of the Imperial Court, the Bureau of the Internal Servant, and the Bureau of the Inner Government. I really want to investigate it. I don’t know what the chaos is going to be.”

Gong Cao joined the army and said: “I think they know that there are too many people to investigate, so they are so rampant. These people have always had a good temper on the surface, but they are actually weird. We really want to use this evidence to suspect them. Make strength as a rope.”

During the conversation, Yang Zong walked in with two guards.

The short officer said: “Master Qi, I have gone to various workshops to find out. The eldest son of the Xu family has been buying drunk in the Zuixi Building for the past few days and has never left.”

Hearing this, Sun Xu stared, “Master Lu suspects Xu Wei in this case?”

“It’s just suspicion.” Lu Yan glanced at the guard, and then said: “There is no evidence right now.”

Lu Canjun took a deep breath and said, “But with the current situation of the Xu family, does he dare to act so violently?”

Lu Yan said: “Those high-ranking ministers, there are not many women in the house, and they have been in peace for so many years, and there is no reason to suddenly cause trouble to themselves.”

Sun Xu thoughtfully, “Why did he do this? Is it just to provoke the relationship between us and the ministers?”

Lu Yan continued: “It doesn’t have to be that complicated. Xu Wei is inhumane. This is no longer a secret. When Xu Xiang was in power, the world might have avoided mentioning this matter, but now the Xu family is down.”

Lu Canjun answered, “Those noble children who have always been at odds with the Xu family will inevitably stab him in the heart at this time!”

Meng Wei thought for a while and said, “Thinking about it this way, Mr. Xu is indeed suspected. Yesterday’s autopsy revealed that the pubic bones of those women were all crushed by a wooden stick. Subordinates remember that Mr. Xu was too.”

Sun Xu gritted his teeth and said: “But others didn’t come out in the golden building! And he has a certificate!”

At this moment, a guard came in suddenly and said loudly: “Report—found another one.”

What is really afraid of.

Sure enough, it was Tong Xiniang from the Tong family.

Lu Yan whispered: “Go to Tong’s Mansion and tell Tong Jingnian that someone has been found, and ask him to cooperate with the government in handling the case.”

Mrs. Tong’s family knelt in Jingzhao Mansion and wept bitterly.

After examining the corpse, Hao Zuo shook his head and said: “The same way of death, but judging from the scars on his neck, his fingers are different in thickness, and they don’t seem to be the same person.”

Lu Yan turned his fingers around and turned to Yang Zong and said, “How is the investigation done by King Teng?”

Yang Zong whispered: “The King Teng has also been to the Jinlou recently, together with Suning Bo, and also had an argument with Tong Jia Si Lang.”

Mentioned King Teng, the faces of several people all sank.

During the Spring Festival, King Teng had no scruples and killed himself in public, but within two days, he walked out of Jingzhao Mansion swayingly.

Lu Yan met the saint, and it was of no avail.

Lu Yan reported this to Emperor Cheng Yuan.

Emperor Cheng Yuan frowned at the time, his palms kept tapping his knees, and he said after a long while: “Drunk and making troubles, it’s ridiculous! Saburo, at this time I will personally talk about him, you let him go first.”

As soon as he said this, Lu Yan immediately understood.

The meaning of this exposing.

From the prince to the prince, and then from the prince to the emperor, the Emperor Cheng Yuan had blood on his hands stained with unknown numbers of people.

After more than ten years of stability, but the time flies, the princes in the palace have grown up, and when they grow up, they will have more thoughts, and when they have more thoughts, the old things will repeat themselves.

The three princes hoarded private soldiers to rebel, and the six princes colluded with foreign ministers to commit injustice.

In such a comparison, King Teng, who is “drunk and making trouble, is really absurd”, does not seem so hateful.

So, princes and nobles are not afraid of absurdity, they are afraid of fainting.

Gong Cao joined the army to shoot the case, “It’s the first class of King Teng again, can’t it be done this time? Those women, the youngest is only fourteen.”

Meng Weidao: “Sir, can you send someone to Xu’s house to bring Xu Wei over for questioning?”

Lu Yan said: “Call him over now, I can’t ask anything, I’ll just startle the snake.”

Sun Xu said, “I thought this was a terrifying and unsettled case, but now I understand it. I was so confident. As long as the people in the Jinlou don’t let go, they are not guilty.”

After a long silence, Lu Yan suddenly said to Yang Zong: “Go to jail to interrogate Shen Lan.”

Shen Lan, Shen Zhen’s good aunt, should always know something.

Half an hour later, Lu Yan sat in front of Shen Lan.

On May 28 last year, Lu Yan and Sun Xu confiscated a private casino in Chongrenfang. Shen Lan was pleaded guilty by Suningbo and was sentenced to five years in prison.

Mrs. Suning, who was infinitely beautiful in the past, was dressed in a prison uniform, her eyes were dull, her face was unkempt, and the corners of her mouth were smiling constantly. She looked a little crazy. Suning had visited her several times, and she was like this every time.

But Lu Yan knew she was not crazy.

She is saving her life.

“Lord Lu got the official seal in Lishan Bieyuan?” Shen Lan didn’t continue to pretend, but only laughed.

Lu Yan looked at her and said, “I got it.”

In order to show how Shen Wenqi owed 8,000 guan guan, and the whereabouts of the official seal, he had used Shen Lan for the last interrogation.

Shen Lan swayed from side to side and said, “Master Lu still wants to know from me? There is no need to administer medicine this time, just ask.”

“Golden Tower.” Lu Yan whispered: “I remember my wife said last time that I heard the conversations between Suning Bo, King Teng, and Xu Wei in the Jinlou. I don’t know whether the wife entered from the front door or from the secret road. of?”

Shen Lan’s pupils shrank, pretending to be calm, “Naturally it is the main entrance, where’s the secret way?”

Lu Yan said straightforwardly: “You give me the location of the hidden road in the Jinlou, and you will be guilty and meritorious. I will guarantee you to go out at the end of the year.”

She took a deep breath and said, “At the end of next year, the saint will go to the northern and southern suburbs to make sacrifices to the heavens and the earth. By then, all but the ten evil sins will be exempted. Waiting another year, I can afford it.”

Lu Yan said lightly: “Madam can afford to wait, I’m afraid Xie Peng can’t afford it.”

Speaking of Xie Peng, Shen Lan’s motherhood could not help but tremble.

Lu Yan added: “Bo Suning married Wang’s daughter as his wife in September last year. Wang Liuniang is now five months pregnant.”

Speaking of this, there is no need to talk about it. After all, Shen Lan knows the doorway of this inner house better than Lu Yan.

Xie Peng is the eldest son of Uncle Suning. Even if Uncle Suning marries another person and gives birth to ten sons, Xie Peng should inherit the title of Uncle Suning.

This is why Shen Lan was willing to plead guilty.

She didn’t want to lose the Lord Suning.

But look again today-

If she is a daughter of the Wang family, can she tolerate such a child whose father doesn’t hurt and the mother is not there?

If Wang had no children, he might be able to be virtuous, but on the contrary, I’m afraid Xie Peng would become a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh.

Shen Lan squeezed a fist and whispered: “Why did your lord suddenly find out the Jinlou?”

Lu Yan pushed the scroll in front of her, and Shen Lan was shocked after reading it silently.

Eight lives, plus the secrets of the Golden Tower, were enough to make Earl Suning lose his title. The saint will be King Bao Teng, that is blood relatives, is royal reputation.

But it will not protect the Xu family and Xie family.

Lu Yan continued: “Uncle Suning’s title cannot be kept. Now you say that I will send you and Xie Peng away from Chang’an, at least not to be dragged down.

Shen Lan said quietly: “How can I trust you?”

Lu Yan said: “I married Shen Zhen, according to seniority, I should call you aunt.”

Shen Lan took a deep breath and eased for a long while.

In the evening, Lu Yan personally sent people to surround the Golden Tower, but was stopped by King Teng ambushing.

Lu Yan said to Yang Zong: “At the corner of the first floor, there is an underpass behind Wang Luozhi’s painting. Take people in.”

King Teng went downstairs and said sternly: “San Lang, I am also your uncle, are you still in the end?”

Lu Yan handed him a search warrant with the word Lu Yan written on it.

“The prince has something to keep and tell the saint.”
