Chang'an night watchman

Chapter 79
The next day.

Lu Changge didn't need to watch the night, had a good night's sleep, and went out after eating breakfast.

Today he is going to secretly go shopping!
There are more than 100 taels of silver hidden in the room, and I don't know if Yunji can get the magic weapon for storage. If not, Bai Mowei who cleans the room will find it sooner or later.

Instead of waiting to be confiscated, it is better to spend it first and buy some daily necessities for yourself.

In addition, he also wanted the Foundry Hall to tailor a good sword for him. Although the sword can also be used with arrogance, it is after all the inheritance of the senior sword fairy.

Wandering around Suzaku Street, I ran into an acquaintance.

Coincidentally, she was just mentioned last night.

Okay, since I have encountered them all, I will ask myself.

I'm just asking for news, shouldn't I be a scumbag?
"Miss Ning, what a coincidence!"

"Master Lu?"

When Ning Qinglan saw that Lu Changge was here, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Miss Ning is also here to go shopping?"

"Yeah, I'm just strolling around, and I don't know what to buy. If Mr. Lu is free, why not go together?"

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing this, the maid next to her hurriedly said in a low voice, "Miss, didn't you tell me to buy rouge..."

"Shh, don't talk."

However, these two ordinary women obviously underestimated Wu Fu's ear power. Lu Changge smiled and said, "Miss Ning, I'm going to the Xiangzhifang in the West City to help that girl pick some rouge gouache powder. Would you like to join us?"

"Okay."

When I came to the store, the proprietress with heavy makeup was extremely enthusiastic and hurriedly introduced various products of her own.

Lu Changge really wanted to buy some better rouge for Bai Mowei, so that she would not like to dress up every day, and she had such a pretty face, so she couldn't be buried in the dust.

However, the main task was to inquire about news from Ning Qinglan, that is, the purpose should not be too strong, otherwise it would be easily offensive, so I just wandered around and chatted casually.

"Come on, a few guests, please take a look. This is the most popular rouge in our shop. It's called "Tiangong Qiao". It's rosy and beautiful on the face, so I don't even mention it."

"How much?" Lu Changge asked.

"It's not expensive, a box of two taels of silver."

"It's too cheap, what's the best rouge you have here?" Lu Changge said arrogantly.

"the best?"

After hearing this, the proprietress shuddered. This is a big client. She immediately went inside to get it with a smile on her face.

"Guest officer, this is the most expensive one, it's called "Sacred Sandalwood Heart", if you smell this fresh fragrance, it's fragrant but not flattering, even the concubine in the palace uses this! The price is ten taels of silver. A box."

It's so expensive!
Lu Changge endured the pain, and waved his hand without bargaining, "Here's a box."

When paying, he found that Ning Qinglan was looking at him with strange eyes, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Miss Ning?"

How could Ning Qinglan not be curious, this Lu Changge is just a yellow-level night watchman, and the monthly money is only [-] taels of silver, but he wants to buy [-] taels of rouge to give to the maid?

Is this a maid or a wife?

"Just curious, Mr. Lu is going to give this to Miss Jasmine?"

"Of course not, this is for Miss Ning."

"Me?" Ning Qinglan looked surprised.

Lu Changge explained: "The last time Master Ning came to visit me in prison, I heard Yunji's story. I didn't have time to thank you. It just happened to happen today. Would Miss Ning accept it?"

In this era, sending rouge to a woman is meant to show affection, but Lu Changge specifically explained the intention of "expressing gratitude", which is different.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Ning Qinglan gave the maid a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward to take the rouge.

In fact, she wanted to pick it up herself, but when she heard that the other party was expressing her gratitude, it was better to be more reserved after thinking about it.

After buying the rouge, Lu Changge was ready to leave.

Ning Qinglan was a little more puzzled: "Young Master Ning is not going to buy rouge for Miss Jasmine, so you are going to leave now?"

"Oh, it's like this. I suddenly felt that the girl's simplicity is also good. Simplicity is natural beauty."

"puff"

Ning Qinglan was amused, it turned out that she didn't have enough money.

Normal people don't carry too much money when they go out. After all, they can only hold so much money in their purses, unless they have a storage device, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Ma'am, another box."

Ning Qinglan is not short of money, the maid she brought came out specially to pay, and said with a smile: "I gave this lunch to Miss Jasmine."

"Damn, why am I so embarrassed!"

"It's okay, it's a courtesy."

She could see that the maid had a special relationship with Lu Changge, probably not an ordinary master-servant relationship, and if she could get closer to her, it might be a good thing for herself.

After Lu Changge accepted it, the group left the Rouge Shop, and he finally found a chance to cut to the chase.

"By the way, Miss Ning, have you heard your father talk about the case being tried by the Third Division recently?"

"I heard that today was the tribunal of the three divisions, but I heard that the prisoner committed suicide in fear of crime, so he postponed it until tomorrow, what's the matter?"

"Fear of committing suicide?!"

These four words sounded like a thunderbolt in Lu Changge's mind.

Fear of committing suicide?how is this possible!

He might believe others, but after that interrogation, Lu Changge was convinced that Doctor Song would never commit suicide!

His purpose was to take revenge on the night watchman, and he wanted to see the shame of the night watchman's inability to do anything about this case, so as to offset the embarrassment in his heart.

But what can he see when he kills himself?This does not fit his motive.

Therefore, it was the traitor "Ye Xiao" who was hiding in the dark.

He killed Doctor Song in some way in order to hide all possible clues and protect his identity.

"What's wrong, Young Master Lu, his face is so ugly."

"To tell you the truth, I had contact with the prisoner at the night watchman's yamen, and he couldn't have committed suicide. He should have been silenced." Lu Changge said with a heavy expression.

"Quiet. But he is locked in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, who can silence people silently?"

Although Ning Qinglan didn't care about this case, after all Lu Changge was involved in it, so she still thought about it seriously.

"That's what I want to know too."

Lu Changge said apologetically, "Miss Ning, I want to go to the Ministry of Justice to investigate. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you today, sorry."

"It's okay, go ahead, my father will not allow any unjust cases to happen, I will tell him about it."

"Okay, thank you!"

Saying goodbye to Ning Qinglan, Lu Changge hurried back to the house to put things away, and rushed to the night watchman's yamen.

After previous speculations, "Ye Owl" is most likely a court official, because only by understanding the situation in the DPRK can such a targeted setup be possible.

Being able to quietly enter the prison of the Ministry of Justice to kill the prisoner, and it was the court official Lu Changge who inevitably thought of a person.

Wang Jing, the minister of punishment.

If it was really what he did, then the conspiracy behind it would be quite terrifying. Fan Wanxing was probably also used by him without knowing it. This matter must be reported to General Yuan first!

Lu Changge is now a frequent visitor to Changye Pavilion, and he went straight to the seventh floor without anyone stopping him.

"General, I have something to report to you!"

"What's in such a hurry?"

"Doctor Song committed suicide in fear of crime. I suspect that he was silenced. The culprit behind the scenes is still at large." Lu Changge said anxiously.

Hearing this, Yuan Jing Salamander stopped flipping the scroll, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to continue investigating this case?"

"Tomorrow will be the tribunal of the three divisions, but now that Doctor Song is dead, who else can they try? It's just his wife and daughter. Does the general think that the two female relatives have the ability to control this big case?"

"The people of the three divisions are under the order of His Majesty to investigate the case, and they will definitely not make this case a headless case, otherwise they will not be able to deliver."

"So the final result is nothing but two. First, they were tortured, signed, detained, and sentenced to death.

Second, they insisted that they didn't know about it, but they couldn't find the culprit behind it. The case was Doctor Song's mastermind, and it was still inevitable that they would die. "

"The subordinates believe that innocent people should not die for the guilty!"
