Master in charge of the case: Our county magistrate has a black belly

286 Departure 3
Lu Yu looked coldly at the young men in the corridor, who were trembling.

After a long time, Lu Yu said, "You guys, I'm afraid it's useless to tell the truth."

Xia Yan next to him shouted, "If you don't tell the truth, you will be dragged out and tortured."

When the servants broke out in cold sweat, they all knelt down, "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me, we, we don't know anything."

"If you don't know, who else would know?" Lu Yu slapped the table, "I wonder if you colluded to kill your master."

Lu Yu's threat made the boy kowtow in a hurry, "My lord, please forgive me. It's really none of our business. Please be careful."

"Let me ask you, did your masters drink and have fun together five months ago?"

The boys looked at each other, then shook their heads, "No, I don't remember."

"Drag it out." Han Quce snorted coldly, "This is what happens when you don't tell the truth."

Xia Yan and Xiao Han made a gesture to drag him down, and the servants hurriedly begged for mercy, "My lord, let us think about it, this, this was all a few months ago."

Lu Yu nodded, Xia Yan and Xiao Han retreated again.

At this time, the servant of the Seventh Prince, Xiao San said, "My lord, I, I remember, that day, the few of you were with my master, that's indeed the case."

"How did they end up together?"

Xiaosan suddenly stuttered, "This, this, this me, I can't say it, my lord."

"Can't say? Why are you still here?" Lu Yu's eyes were so sharp that he could kill a person.

"I said, I said." Xiaosan must have spoken out after being so frightened. Anyway, the master is already missing, so why keep so much, "That night, the master and the others were beaten to death, one person was killed."

After saying this, the faces of the other servants also changed, "It's all, it's all done by the young master, it's none of our business."

"Who was killed?" Han Quce asked.

"Yes, yes." Xiaosan thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, "My lord, I really don't know."

The other servants also shook their heads, "We don't know either."

Lu Yu had a row of tables, and several servants got down on the ground, "Aren't you telling the truth?"

"My lord, we are telling the truth. At that time, I heard that the man wanted to ransom the oiran, so, that's why the master asked me to beat him to death."

"Oh? What happened to the oiran? Isn't this normal?"

Guo Xiao's servant said, "My son and Mr. Song, the oiran, love each other to the death. How could they be redeemed?"

Han Quce asked, "Then why didn't your son redeem the oiran?"

The little boy shook his head, "I don't know, it seems that the oiran is unwilling."

"Then why are you willing to let this man redeem you?"

"We really don't know about that." The servant hurriedly shook his head, "You have to ask the oiran about it, we really don't know."

Han Quce and Lu Yu glanced at each other. It is estimated that the question is about the same. Lu Yu said, "Take them down first, and we will try again at another day."

Xia Yan and Xiao Han took them down, but those little servants were still calling for the adults to watch out.

Han Quce said, "It seems to have something to do with Huamanlou."

Lu Yu nodded, "I'll check it out when I have time."

"kindness."

**************************
After Xia Yan and Xiao Han escorted the boys to the prison, Xiao Han went to see Xiao Yun first.

Only Xia Yan was left walking aimlessly in the garden.

"What are you doing here?" Xiang Hua patted Xia Yan, "So preoccupied, I didn't even see it when I came."

Xia Yan was also taken aback, rubbing his ears, when did his hearing become so bad, "Master Xiang, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? I'm here to see the prime minister." Xiang Hua said.

Xia Yan sarcastically said, "I'm here to see Master, Master is not here."

Xiang Hua sighed, "Hey, your master is already famous, how could I snatch it."

Xia Yan shrugged, without saying a word, he started to walk slowly.

Xiang Hua asked on the side, "I heard that Lu Yu introduced a girl to you?"

Xia Yan squinted, "Why do you ask this? Besides, it's not once or twice that the adults introduce girls to me."

Xiang Hua was at a loss for words, and couldn't think of a reason for this, "I just want to ask, do you have a girl whom God notoriously likes, and I will help you as a consultant."

"The girl I like." Xia Yan rubbed his chin. "There is a nice girl in the Xia family. She will be named Xia like me. I heard that she is gentle and gracious, with good conduct."

"What I've heard is all false, so how can I believe it? Once I hear that, this girl must be a scumbag, no."

"I haven't seen it, let alone you, how do you know?"

Xiang Hua was at a loss for words, "Let me ask you, what does the Xia family do?"

"Yes, merchants, those who buy silk, I heard it's not bad." Xia Yan said.

Xiang Hua shook his head after hearing this, "Tsk tsk, if you're still a businessman, that's even worse. Businessman, businessman, can you put your own interests first in marrying your daughter? You are just a small guard. I guess they will have to let you be their son-in-law. Let's talk about a scholar." Nongshangshang, the daughter of a merchant's family is very careful, and if there is something good, it is definitely not suitable."

Xia Yan nodded, "What you said makes sense. By the way, the master introduced the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. What is her name, Lu Xiang?"

"You're talking about Mrs. Lu's daughter, right? Oh, that's even worse."

Xia Yan looked at Xiang Hua amusedly, "Why can't it work again? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, this is the daughter of a scholar's family."

Xiang Hua waved his hand, "That's even worse. Scholars are the most troublesome people. You have to pay attention to the right family. If you were not an official in the court, they probably wouldn't let you marry a daughter."

"Then I'll go take the exam to become a martial arts champion." Xia Yan said with a smile, "With my skills, it shouldn't be difficult."

Xiang Hua swallowed, "Let me tell you, the daughter of the Shi family is the most delicate and pampered."

"But I heard from the master that Lu Xiang is a good knitter, and she is generous and gentle, suitable to be a wife."

Xiang Hua waved his hand hastily, "Ce Ce doesn't leave the door all day, how could someone who doesn't go out know this, I've heard people say that Lu Xiang is ugly and has a hot temper, how can he be so good, it's absolutely inappropriate. "

Xia Yan laughed, didn't it mean that Lu Xiang is the No. 1 girl in the capital, why did he become so cute and hot-tempered when he got into his mouth? "That doesn't seem right."

Only then did Xiang Hua breathe a sigh of relief, "I'll introduce you when I come back."

"Come back? Where are you going?"

"To the northwest, I want to escort the food and grass."

"What?" Xia Yan opened his eyes wide, "Are you going to escort food and grass?"

Xiang Hua nodded, "Yes, this is what my father ordered, telling me to hone it."

"Then, when are you coming back?"

"Estimated to take three to five months." Xiang Hua said, "Escorting food and grass is a major event, and it cannot be sloppy."

Xia Yan nodded, "Oh, then I wish you the best of luck."

"That's all it takes?"

Xia Yan asked back, "Otherwise, what are you talking about?"

Xiang Hua was speechless when asked, "Forget it, I'll go back and clean up first, and I'll say goodbye to you when I'm done."

Xia Yan nodded, "Well, let's go back."

Xiang Hua glanced at Xia Yan and left, leaving Xia Yan alone in the garden.

Xia Yan suddenly felt that the view of the flowers was gone, only gray in front of his eyes, and Xia Yan went back to the room aimlessly.
