I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 236 The Lu family is busy

It was the end of August, and the wind was blowing quietly in the woods. Lu Xizhi was walking along the Qinghu boredly. The weather in early autumn was a bit chilly. Strangely pleasant to hear, as if with a touch of charming drunkenness.

Speaking of Qi Tianyin's ability to sit on the throne from the least favored prince, apart from luck, there were indeed decisive and ruthless means.

After a month of careful investigation by Dongchang, there are 280 officials involved in corruption and bribery on Yongtan Island, with a total of [-] cases, which is really vast and complicated.The emperor also made a special trip to transfer officials who were proficient in laws and cases, as well as the book office, from the Ministry of Punishment, and simply worked hard on the island, questioning cases and reading papers day and night.In addition, Fang Sicheng specially asked Fang Sicheng to bring hundreds of workers to the island, and confiscated all the weapons arsenal on the island into the national treasury. I have to say that this move was really ruthless.

Lu Xizhi laughed out loud, guessing that Chang Chonghu's anger was about to burn Qi Tianyin to the ground.

The palace also specially issued a notice to inform the people all over the world that all the major businessmen and landlords involved in the case, as well as the officials involved in the case, will be severely punished according to the law of Da Jin according to the severity of their crimes.

All of a sudden, the news spread all over Jinnan, and the common people all clapped their hands in praise. This wave of coquettish operations allowed Qi Tianyin to gain a lot of popular support from the common people.For a while, the emperor was wise and martial, and good stories spread about punishing corrupt officials.Although one or two of them were found to be guilty of minor crimes, from the perspective of others, they only thought that these people had committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds, and that the emperor was just extrajudicially merciful. After punishing so many bad officials, it was too late for the common people to be happy, and no one thought about it .

In the end, the emperor also appointed Dongchang to handle nearly a hundred corruption cases that had been appealed to the county government and other small-level places in the past ten years. revenge.Therefore, Dongchang's reputation among the people is growing day by day, and even gave Lu Xizhi the title of "Nvqingtian".

When these good stories reached Lu Xizhi's ears, it was enough to make this girl who was born with three points of "great success" in her bones even more happy, and she became more energetic to try the case.

All of a sudden, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the prisons of Dongchang were filled with prisoners of all levels, and the officials who were shackled and shackled to the public at the entrance of the government office were crowded with each other, making the entire officialdom panic and panic.

Lu Xizhi found a shady place, sat down, and Beixue handed over the water bottle and handkerchief: "Girl, the sun is getting brighter, shall we go back?"

"It just happened to replenish calcium and inhale yang energy. After more than a month of continuous rotation, I feel drained..."

The way she drooped her hands was a bit funny, and Bei Xue was amused by her, remembering the rumors among officials that she heard recently.

If Lu Xizhi had always been stern and impartial, no matter who he was, he would treat everyone equally, and the officials would naturally not have any other thoughts.But this Lu Jishi seems to be hiding his selfish intentions. Although there are not many prisoners who are merciful, they are not without it. After all, there are countless eyes staring at him, who can we hide?

So those officials with ulterior motives thought that there might be a way out.They inquired and found out that Lu Zhonglian likes calligraphy and painting, the mistress of the Lu family likes martial arts, and that the eldest son of the Lu family is preparing to participate in Qiu Wei, the second daughter of the Lu family is married, and her husband's family is a young Yuanwailang who holds an important position in the Ministry of Rites. Let them grasp at a straw.

Many people came to Lu's house to test.

This is difficult to break Lu Zhonglian who has always been "respectful of his talent and cool in his sleeves" in the officialdom.

The pressure was on him, and he was so worried that he not only reinforced the gate, but also hired two more doormen to guard the door of the house.

At the beginning, it was ordered like this: Anyone with large or small bags will not be allowed to enter;

Day [-]: Those who bring their wives and maids are not allowed to enter;
Day [-]: Matchmakers are not allowed to enter;
Day [-]: No one is allowed to enter.

Until now, with the addition of the above, no living thing is allowed to enter the Lu mansion, so that the tomcat in the family cannot vent his love for spring every night, not to mention how uncomfortable the family is.

Even the emperor laughed and joked when he heard about it: "It seems that even I can't get in the gate of his Lu family."

However, those officials with ulterior motives saw that Lu Xizhi dealt with offenders faster and harder one by one, and it was their turn, so they panicked. They just felt that giving a gift was better than not giving a gift. Quite a few, regardless of whether they could meet the Lu family members or not, they would put their well-prepared generous gifts on their name cards and pile them up at the door of the Lu family, which was regarded as a gift.

Lu Zhonglian saw it, good guy, this is simply giving and receiving by force.

He also hates these welcome and send-off activities in the officialdom the most. Seeing that he is a good family, his way out is blocked by the vulgar gifts prepared by these filthy officials, and he suddenly becomes angry.

Together, the family must not hold back their daughter a little bit, and must not let someone with a heart take advantage of it, so they hurriedly spent money overnight to have someone build a simple shed outside their house, and wrote a "Lost and Found" notice. Sign, put the gifts with names on them in an orderly manner, and hired a special person to guard them.

Everyone looked at it, alas, what's so great about this, the emperor is vigorously punishing corruption, isn't this rushing to commit suicide on the road to death?

So, just one day after the shed was set up, in the evening, those gifts were taken away by the servants in real names.

When the emperor heard about it, he laughed it off, but easily put the list of gifts submitted by Lu Zhonglian on the desk.

"Where is that girl from the Lu family now?"

"Back to the emperor, Lu Xizhi seems to be relaxing in Qinghu." Wei Zheng replied.

"Hmph, little fox! So many cases are finished? You still have to relax." Qi Tianyin laughed and scolded, "Go pass it on, she is deliberately waiting for me to recruit her."

Half an hour later, Lu Xizhi walked slowly to the door of the imperial study room, but no one communicated, so she could only kneel outside the door to pay her respects.

"The case is over?" Qi Tianyin's voice came.

"Going back to the emperor, not yet. Didn't you call me? I came here during my busy schedule." Lu Xizhi curled her lips.

"You bastard! Can you travel around in your busy schedule? I think you are dereliction of duty! Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for wasting time and leaving without authorization?"

Lu Xizhi simply put it badly: "Your Majesty, let's govern and lock up the women, so as not to worry that one day I will accidentally fall into the wrong's way and end up as a corrupt villain."

"Oh, by the way, there are also those eight female corpses, which are still stored in the Dongchang Ice Cave. Fortunately, they did not stink, and their families are waiting every day for Xizhi to bring the murderer to justice. To comfort the souls of my relatives in heaven. You can lock me up, so you don’t have to face them.”

"Minister feels uncomfortable." After finishing speaking, she wiped her eyes.

But the eyeballs turned and turned cleverly.

"Hmph! Get out of here!" Qi Tianyin yelled at her loudly.

"Hey! The folk girl is here."
