marquis of jingan

Chapter 7
Lu Anshi put down the towel to wipe his hands, looked at his daughter calmly, and asked, "Qing Que met this Shen Yi?"

"It's not acquaintance, just met twice."

Miss Lu walked up to Lu Anshi and helped her father tidy up his clothes, with a shy tone in her tone: "He...he wrote a letter to his daughter."

The other Shen Yi did write a letter to Miss Lu, and the envelope contained a love poem.

The reason why Shen Yi had conflicts with his friend Chen Qing was also because of this love poem.

Dean Lu looked at his daughter, and didn't ask about the content of the letter, but sighed slightly, and said: "Shen Yi's matter, as a father, may not be able to help, and this matter needs to be resolved in the academy. Check it out, I can't listen to your one-sided words."

"us?"

Miss Lu blinked, looked at her father, and asked, "Daddy, who else is there besides me?"

"And Shen Yi's cousin, who came to look for me last night, also asked me to go to the county government to rescue Shen Yi."

Speaking of this, Lu Anshi glanced at Miss Lu, and sighed slightly: "He thinks too highly of me, if it's an ordinary case, the Jiangdu county government or the Jiangdu government will more or less sell it to save face for my father, but This matter involves the Fan family, and the Fan servant standing behind the Fan family has no official position for his father, and the officials of Jiangdu Mansion may not buy it for his father."

"but…"

Master Lu stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, lowered his eyebrows and said: "But Shen Yi is my student after all, if he is really wronged and sent to prison, I should really take care of this matter, no matter what, I must try my best." yes."

After saying this, someone knocked on the door outside, and a humble voice came: "Master, the young master surnamed Shen is outside and wants to see you."

Lu Anshi didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "Tell him, this morning, the old man will inquire about the situation that day in the academy, and ask those students who have seen the scene with their own eyes. If what he said is true, the old man will go there this afternoon. A trip to the Jiangdu county government, so that he doesn't have to wait for me outside."

"If he is with me, there will be some inconvenience."

Shen Ling is Shen Yi's cousin, and in this era, there is not much difference between him and his brothers. In comparison, there is still a lot of difference between Lu Anshi going to the county government to inquire about this matter, and Shen Ling accompanying him.

Standing outside the study was a servant of the Lu family, who bowed his head immediately after hearing this, and said, "I obey."

After dismissing the servants, with the help of his daughter, Lu Anshi tidied up his clothes, then he sat back in his seat, smiled at Miss Lu and said, "Qing Que, go and invite Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhou. Just say I have something to discuss with them."

Xie Zhou and the others are all gentlemen of Ganquan Academy. Although they don't have Lu Anshi's Jinshi achievements, they are all from Juren background. Most of the affairs of Ganquan Academy are in charge of these two gentlemen on weekdays. They can be regarded as the "deputy presidents" of the academy.

Miss Lu blinked her eyes, and said softly: "Father, someone from the county government came to talk to Mr. Xie for a long time..."

Lu Anshi looked calm, and said, "Don't worry, as a father, I won't trust them all."

Only then did Miss Lu nod her head, and hurriedly turned around to ask Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhou.

Soon, the two gentlemen were invited to the study room, and Lu Anshi talked with them for half an hour, then walked around the academy himself, and asked the students in the academy about the situation that day.

It wasn't until noon that Lu Shanzhang stopped asking questions. He had a simple lunch in the academy, then got into his carriage, entered Jiangdu City, and arrived at the gate of Jiangdu County Yamen, where he asked the old servant to hand over to the county government office. I posted my own post.

At this time, County Magistrate Feng was discussing matters with the master of the county government in his study.

In front of the two of them, there was a confession.

The confession stated in detail the process of Shen Yi's murder and the interrogation process.

The master of the Jiangdu county government office was surnamed Deng. At this time, the master Deng stood in front of County Magistrate Feng, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "My lord, the confession has already been written by someone. Next, just find someone to put their fingerprints on the confession." , even if this case is settled, neither the Shen family nor the Chen family, the sufferer, can find anything against us."

County magistrate Feng took the confession and read it carefully. Then the round-faced county lord frowned. He looked at the confession in his hand, and then at the master in front of him. He couldn't help it. Live a big frown.

The fat on his face trembled.

"Falsifying a confession is an unforgivable crime, not to mention that I am the county magistrate..."

County magistrate Feng looked at Master Deng with small eyes, and his expression was not friendly: "Master, you are not usually so bold, are you... Is the Fan family looking for you?"

Mr. Deng rolled his eyes, neither admitted nor denied, he smiled at County Magistrate Feng, bowed his head and said: "Master, I have checked all the humble officials, Shen Yi's family has no power or power, this case It will soon disappear into nothingness, if you put in more effort this time and take on some ties, Fan Shilang will remember your kindness, and when you get promoted, your lowly position will also be able to reflect your glory, right?"

County magistrate Feng is also from a serious scientific research background, so he is naturally not a fool. He glanced at the confession in front of him, and snorted, "I'm afraid I haven't been promoted yet, and I will let others hold the gate of life. Maybe I will lose my life at any time." gone."

County magistrate Feng raised his head high and hummed: "This matter has been brought up to now, and I have already taken on a lot of responsibility. If I am not careful, I will be dismissed from my post. In order to honor Fan Shilang, I will lose my post and be dismissed." Forget it, but I have to sell my wealth and life..."

County Magistrate Feng glanced at Master Deng, and curled his lips.

"I won't do it."

Generally, county magistrates go to the localities to serve as officials, most of them are from other places, so they will hire some local people to act as masters, so as to understand the local customs and customs, and facilitate communication with the local gentry. Spokesperson.

Obviously, the members of the Fan family have already gotten angry with this Master Deng, otherwise Master Deng would not have taken the risk and come up with this forged confession.

When Master Deng heard these words, his expression was not so good, he lowered his head slightly, and said: "Master, this matter will not cause much trouble, if it is not possible, I will find a lettersmith in my humble job, and imitate that kid." handwriting, just sign and stamp on the confession."

"Wouldn't it make a lot of waves?"

County magistrate Feng tried his best to open his not-so-big eyes, glared at Master Deng, and said in a muffled voice: "Yesterday, the daughter of Chief Lu Shan's family wanted to go into the cell to visit that boy from the Shen family, and brought him a A meal!"

"Do you know who Lu Shan looks like?"

County Magistrate Feng said in a muffled voice: "Which of the students in Jiangdu Prefecture has not read the article he wrote? If this matter becomes serious..."

Master Deng narrowed his eyes and lowered his head slightly: "Master, how is Master Lu compared to Shilang Fan?"

"This……"

One is the Minister of the Six Departments, and the other is a teacher who teaches in the field. Naturally, the power of the two cannot be compared.

While County Magistrate Feng was hesitating, a small official's voice came from outside his study: "My lord, Mr. Lu Shan from Ganquan Academy has come and is waiting to see you in the main hall of the county government."

"broken."

County Magistrate Feng turned pale, and looked at Master Deng: "Master Lu is here."

Lu Anshi is a veritable Jiangzuo Confucian, and one of the most famous people in Jiangdu Mansion. He even has a Jinshi reputation. No matter in terms of years or seniority, he is the senior of Feng County Magistrate. Lu Anshi personally visited, He had no reason to be gone.

Master Deng couldn't help but change his expression slightly, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Mr. Lu is so devoted to learning that he doesn't care much about the affairs of the academy. Why did he come to the county government office today?"

County Magistrate Feng didn't answer, but got up silently, looked at the confession on the table, and said in a low voice: "Take this thing out as soon as possible, don't keep it."

The little fat county magistrate took a long, deep breath.

"Go out of this county and meet Master Lu..."
