Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 269 The Complicated Case (4)

Wu Danqing turned around and closed the door, walked to the bed and sat down, took out the glued jade from his sleeve, "Look, although some parts of this jade have been broken, but from the texture and color and most of the The incisions are very consistent, so I suspect that the couple was framed, and the child died in the fire in vain, and it has nothing to do with this case at all!"

"Why did you say that?" Lu Boqi frowned, but it wasn't that he hadn't thought about it.

When Wu Danqing re-examined the body of the child who was burned to death in Qi County's Chengfu, he had already noticed that the body did not look like a seven or eight-year-old child at all.

But the couple both died, and it is impossible to confirm whether the corpse is their lost child, but, this half piece of ancient jade, according to the family background of the couple, it is absolutely impossible to get it back!

So, that couple was not prearranged, but the real victims.

The next day, it was actually Yang Hong who brought someone to see Lu Boqi in a panic, and his behavior greatly exceeded Lu Boqi's expectations.

Sitting in Lu Boqi's room, Wu Danqing looked at Yang Hong who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed frequently, and said coldly, "Master Yang threatened to put Master Lu in jail last night, what kind of play is this acting on today?"

"My lord Lu, the lower officials are guilty. You shouldn't be deceived by others and poison your lord. It was only last night that I learned that the wife of my family is actually a spy of the Nanman Kingdom, and the county magistrate of Qi County is not dead. , but that bitch's brother!"

Yang Hong looked at Lu Boqi's expression while talking, and saw that he wasn't surprised at all. He knew that his move was right, and Lu Boqi knew the identity of that bitch.

So he paused and said, "Last night Nangong Yiye ran into the county magistrate's mansion and took Nangongyan away without knowing where he was going. The ability to be an official is limited, and I'm afraid it will provoke people to make decisions on my own. I'm here to report to the two adults. I beg the two adults. Mingchao."

The room was so silent that only Lu Boqi was breathing heavily. Wu Danqing glanced at Yang Hong who was kneeling on the ground, walked to Lu Boqi's side, and helped him sit up from the bed.

"Master Yang knows that I am a victim? It is not impossible for me to help you. As long as you cooperate with Master Wu to find out the truth about the disaster funds, I will not reveal anything about your wife. They will also secretly capture and execute the two of them, as if nothing happened."

Lu Boqi sneered, and spoke first.

"But... But for the disaster fund, what the officials took was just a drop in the bucket! The total amount of money allocated by the county guard to Yixian County was less than 1 taels, and the rest of the officials didn't see it, and the money was hidden. There are only five or six thousand taels, and I have already distributed the rest and exchanged them for food for the common people."

Yang Hong lowered his head, his eyes only dared to stare at the ground, and a layer of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead.

What he said was indeed the truth, but he concealed that he lent the seven or eight thousand silver in his hand to rice merchants to buy rice at a high price from other places and sell it to big merchants and common people in Yi County. He was transported from the secret road to an abandoned house in the city.

"Five 6000 taels..." Lu Boqi stared at him coldly and repeated.

Wu Danqing sat on the side silently, the atmosphere stagnated a bit strangely, and suddenly clapped his hands towards the door.

Even though the door was opened, a person they were not very familiar with walked in. Lu Boqi only took one look and recognized him as Tao Shi who was beside Zhuo Han.
