I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 25
Lu Xizhi woke up amidst the singing of birds. This ancient ecological fantasy is just fine. A few days ago, Chunxiang also said that there was a nest of swallows nesting on the top of the corridor. Now it sounds like there must be more than swallows in the garden.

In a good mood, she got up quickly, washed up hastily and went to the main courtyard.

Lu Zhonglian was about to go out on duty at the moment, and there were not so many red tapes at home. Except for festivals, he did not stipulate that concubines or children should come to the main courtyard every day to pay their respects, so it was a bit surprised to see Lu Xizhi so early in the morning.

"Dog nose? Do you know that there are fried buns in my yard today?"

Mrs. Li laughed at her: "It's really strange to see Xizhi before dawn. The fried buns have been delivered to a few of your houses, and I came here specially to find out about that boy." Bar."

Lu Xizhi was a little embarrassed. After so long, it seemed that this was the first time he came here to say hello to the two elders. As the head of the family, Lu Zhonglian is really a good husband and father. He served a bowl of water very well. , the three sons and daughters are impartial, and his care and love make people feel at ease and happy; Li Wenjun devotes himself to the family, takes good care of the harmony and stability of the family house, and fulfills the responsibility of the mistress of the two concubines. This woman has never competed for favor, and the two aunts may be able to live in harmony with each other under the influence of the couple's common personality charm.

From the resistance at the beginning to the gradual acceptance of the fact that he was time-traveling, this kind of family atmosphere had a great impact, and Lu Xizhi must have been very happy in the past.So for her departure, Lu Xizhi has been brooding since she came here. Now that she happened to find the shadow of the culprit, she will definitely bite her to death. In addition to being filial to her parents, aunt, brother, and sister, she will find out the culprit and kill her. Her people are also the only thing they can do for Lu Xizhi.She is also devout and prays for another world, someone can fulfill her unfinished obligations and responsibilities for her.

Lu Xizhi wiped the wet corners of her eyes, watching the interaction between the Lu family and the love for her, she walked over and tugged at her father's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Father, I have a dog's nose, so I followed you."

"Haha, that's right, that's right, as soon as the drunken goose from Weixianglou comes out of the pot, I can really smell it with my nose."

"Okay, hurry up, beware of being lectured by Master Shangshu again." Li Wenjun reminded him.

"I went to buy delicious food for you to earn money for my father. After a while, your mother will accompany you to the west of the city and bring two servants with you. Do you hear me?" Lu Zhonglian explained to the mother and daughter, and went out.

Lu Xizhi helped Li Shi to sit at the table, brought her a pan fried bun, poured her some tea, and then said, "Mother, I know a friend from the yamen, and I sent a letter to him last night to ask He went to ask the concierge, we just wait for the letter at home."

Li Wenjun said curiously: "You usually don't go out of the door, how do you know friends in the yamen?"

Lu Xizhi was ashamed. In the past two months, she had been sneaking out of the house without telling the truth. The adults in the family thought that she only went out occasionally to meet friends and take a walk around the street.

Without a direct answer, he asked another question pretending to be naive: "Mother, I heard that your father, Li Shilang, is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, promotion, assessment, and punishment of all officials. Does he have a lot of power?"

Mrs. Li was eating side dishes and drinking porridge, and cast a glance at her, "Young lady, what are you doing here?"

"My daughter is just curious. Doesn't Da Jin really have a female officer?"

Li Wenjun stopped eating suddenly, and then slowly chewed the crispy skin in her mouth. It seemed that this question touched a certain place in her heart. She sighed and said, "Don't talk about Dajin since ancient times, even I have never heard of a woman becoming an official in the envoys to and from the country."

Lu Xizhi recalled the descriptions of feudal dynasties in history books. Due to the development of social productive forces in ancient times, the power of patriarchy continued to increase and women's rights declined, making the social atmosphere that men were superior to women, and women had to be inferior no matter they were outside or at home. It is not allowed to show your face outside.In addition, women were not allowed to study, and officials in ancient times were elected through the imperial examination system, so they could only support their husbands and children at home, so they could not be officials.

However, throughout the past 5000 years, once women ascended to the top position, most of them were given the notoriety of deceiving the public, harming the country and the people, and endangering the country and society.Empress Lu, Jiananfeng, Wu Zetian, Empress Wei, and Empress Dowager Cixi are typical examples. They are all said to be seductive and seductive by later generations.

The rooster's yin and yang are inconsistent in the morning, the male dominates the yang, and the female dominates the yin. It is also a way for feudal superstition and ethics to restrict women from entering politics.

"Our Da Jin has produced a resourceful and extraordinary female officer, but unfortunately...she is just a slave." Li Wenjun felt very sorry.

Seeing Li Shi's expression, Lu Xizhi felt envious, longing, and... disappointed.

"Oh? Who is she?" I already guessed in my heart.

"Her name is Zhang Yu, and she has been working as a servant in that small yamen during her lifetime. I heard that the Dali Temple Temple Secretary once asked her to work in Dali Temple by name, but she refused."

Li Wenjun ate a mouthful of steamed stuffed buns, and continued: "At that time, your father and I were just married, and a serious crime occurred in the capital. All seven members of a family were killed, and even the three children who were a few years old were not spared. The temple brought back three suspects, but ah, all three of them had witnesses to prove that they were not at the scene at the time. Later, Zhang Yuzuo appeared in the hall with a bloody palm print left over from the scene, promising that he could find the murderer, and Let the hundreds of people watching the case participate in the testimony."

Speaking of this, Li Wenjun glanced at Lu Xizhi, who was listening with gusto, and said with a smile: "At that time, because of this murder case, everyone in the city was panicked, so when the case was tried, even the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent people to interrogate it. This Zhang Wuzuo boasted so much that everyone at the scene ignored a woman and drove her out. But she didn't care, rushed into the hall again, asked for a piece of ink pad, and pressed it with her palm prints. It turns out that she wants to prove to everyone that everyone's palm prints are different, as long as the three suspects match the marks left at the scene, then that person must be the murderer !"

"What's next?" Lu Xizhi shook Li Wenjun's arm and stayed by her side.

Not only Lu Xizhi, but also the maids in the courtyard were enthralled.

"Later, it was the Minister of Criminal Justice who nodded in agreement and allowed her three days to prove her inference. So, in those three days, this Zhang Wuzuo knocked on hundreds of households, just to get their palm prints .” Li Wenjun said in a proud tone, little stars almost flashed in his eyes. "I was also honored to participate in this evidence collection, and I also wrote my name next to the palm print."

Three days later, Zhang Yu got the palm prints of 300 people.

In the courtroom, she presented the certificates of these 300 people to the chief judge, and they compared them one by one. Guess what! ?The palm prints of these 300 people are really different!Zhang Wuzuo did nothing wrong!The murderer was also sentenced to death for this.This matter spread to the ears of the emperor in the palace, and he made a private interview with Zhang Yu in private, and included the palmprint comparison method in the handbook of the three halls.

"Mother, you seem to like this author very much?"

Hearing Lu Xizhi's question, Li Wenjun suddenly felt that she had lost her composure. She sat down slowly, and said with some emotion: "It's an honor to be recognized by the emperor for what we girls have done."

"What happened to this Zhang Wuzuo?"

"Later, she didn't go to work in Dali Temple. She has been doing the hardest and most tiring work in the small yamen. She has never married in her life, but she is also deeply loved by the people around her."

Zhang Yu is happy. She is alone and helpless here, but she is still not bound by feudalism. She is even celibate like a warrior to the end, regardless of her lowly occupation that was cast aside by the ancients. Giving it to others, leaving a strong legacy for herself in this era, Lu Xizhi is so envious of her.

"Mother, if one day, I will also..."

"Ma'am, just now the shopkeeper of Xiansilou passed this note to the concierge, saying to pass it on to Miss San."

drink!coming.

"Xiansi Building?"

"Mother, it's the famous clothing store in the east of the city that ladies and wives like to go to. I know Yu Niang very well. I must have asked her to make a custom-made dress."

Li Wenjun nodded, she was very relieved of her children, they were not wasteful children, and she could understand making some clothes, she called the girl and took two liang of silver for Lu Xizhi.

For Lu Xizhi, who was on a tight budget, his eyes turned green when he saw Qian, and he almost knelt down for Li Wenjun.

"Mother, I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I will let you parade in a float when I am so prosperous."

Li Wenjun poked her on the head with his hand, "If you are a dead girl, you will know that you are poor, so hurry up and go away."

Lu Xizhi walked quickly to the door, and upon seeing it, it was indeed Jin Yu.

Jin Yu mysteriously pulled her along and asked, "Early this morning, my door was only opened a crack, and I saw a handsome man in white standing in front of the store. I thought I saw a ghost in broad daylight." , I was so frightened that my soul flew away.”

Lu Xizhi smiled.

"Hurry up and go to the store with me. The big Buddha hasn't left yet. I have to find you out. I'm really afraid of him." Jin Yu gestured to Wang Yuanzhi's figure as he walked, it was indeed... quite burly.

Along the way, Lu Xizhi roughly narrated what happened in the past few days. Jinyu naturally looked worried and frightened, patted her chest to suppress her shock, and when she arrived at her shop, she looked left and right for a long time before closing the door. From Lu Xizhi's point of view, she looked like she was acting in a spy movie.

"Miss Lu."

"Wang Yuzuo, how are you doing?"

When the two met, they got straight to the point, and no longer shy away from Jin Yu.

"Just as Miss Lu guessed, the concierge opened the door for the Liao family boy at that time, took the Liao family's umbrella, and exchanged pleasantries for a while, until a boy who looked like a book boy came in and said he wanted to borrow the toilet. He just left for a while, and when he came back again, the Liao family had already left."

"Are you sure he didn't see that person?" Lu Xizhi asked.

Wang Yuanzhi shook his head.

Oh, it doesn't matter, since it has been confirmed that it is the servant of the Liao family, next, Lu Xizhi just needs to give that person a try when he meets the others.

"Yu Niang, are my clothes ready?"

Jin Yu worriedly took out the shirt and skirt from the back room, and said hesitantly, "Xizhi, are you really going to do such a dangerous thing?"

Lu Xizhi reached out to take the clothes, and patted Jin Yu's face reassuringly: "Don't worry! I'm cunning, they are the only ones who have trouble!"

"Wang Yuzuo, everything is ready, we only owe the east wind!" Lu Xizhi was confident.

Wang Yuanzhi walked to the courtyard and looked at the sky.

"If there is no accident, it will be tonight."
