Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 361 Decisive!
Lu Mengtong squinted his eyes, took a long breath, and a trace of calm appeared on his face.

"My lord said, I confess all my crimes. I only have one request. I hope that after my death, Xuanzhen and I can be buried together." Lu Mengtong's ferocious and tyrannical eyes showed a rare tenderness.

Li Canghai looked at him, nodded and said, "I promise you."

Hearing Li Canghai's words, Lu Mengtong's mouth immediately raised a gratified smile.

From the opening of the court at Chen to noon, after two hours of trial, the truth of the murder case that disturbed Zhengyang City was finally revealed.

At three quarters in the afternoon, Lu Mengtong was taken to the execution ground.

It was still the same law field, but different people walked the same path.

Not all Wang is like this, so is Lu Mengtong.

On the execution stage, Li Canghai held the token in his hand, feeling infinitely emotional in his heart.

Whether it's Wang Buquan or Lu Mengtong, they are all blinded by profit, and that's why they came to this end.

But during this period, how many innocent people like Chang Lin and Tao Zhaoxue were victimized?
Killing a king is not enough, or Lu Mengtong does not seem to solve the problem.

However, this does not prevent him from adhering to the justice in his heart, on the contrary, it makes him more determined in his path.

"It's [-]:[-] noon, execution!"

As the token in Li Canghai's hand fell to the ground, the executioner's sharp machete quickly drew a perfect arc from the air.

Knife crossed, head fell.

Lu Mengtong ended his sins with a smile.

"Master Qingtian!"

"Master Qingtian!"

"Master Qingtian!"

……

Who knows who started, and the people around the execution ground shouted in unison.

In their view, Li Canghai is the god who came down to earth and came to save them.

"My lord has avenged my little girl. I can't repay this kindness. Please accept my respect, my lord!" Tao Youran, who came to supervise and kill her, burst into tears after seeing the murderer who killed her daughter. Kneeling down to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai hurriedly supported him, and said: "Mr. Tao, please get up quickly. This is a matter of my official duty. But Mr. Tao, I hope that the mourning will change."

Tao Youran wiped away her tears and said: "My lord, don't worry, this old man can handle it. Ever since I was reprimanded by my lord last time, this old man has realized his own mistakes. This old man has already decided to accept Dongmei as his adoptive daughter. From now on, she will be my daughter." The old man's daughter."

Li Canghai looked at Tao Youran in surprise, then at Dongmei, nodded slightly and said, "Dongmei, I hope you will be as filial and filial as your young lady in the future, so that your young lady will feel gratified in the spirit of heaven." .”

Dongmei hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried: "The servants will follow the teachings of the adults. The servants will not be abandoned by the master, and they will be adopted as righteous daughters. They will regard the master's wife as their own parents... The servants will carry the filial piety of the young lady, together Respect Mrs. Madam."

Tao Youran bent down to help Dongmei up, and said tearfully: "Good boy, get up quickly, don't call yourself a slave in the future, you are now the eldest lady of my Tao family."

Looking at Tao Youran and Dongmei, Li Canghai suddenly felt relieved.

The death of Tao Zhaoxue must have been a great blow to the Tao family. Fortunately, Dongmei grew up in Tao's mansion since she was a child, and she was considered the half daughter of the Tao family. For them, it is also a kind of comfort.

"Tonight, the old man is going to have a banquet at home to repay your lord's kindness. I hope your lord will not refuse." Tao Youran said to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai looked up at the sky, and said apologetically, "Grand Tao is so kind, I should go to the banquet. However, this is the last day I will wear this official uniform. Before sunset, I will return to Luoyang."

When Tao Youran heard that he said that he would wear this official uniform for the last day, she was a little surprised: "Is it possible that my lord is going to resign?"

Di Qing giggled, and interjected: "Cang Hai is now the Minister of Dali Temple, so naturally he can't stay in Zhengyang forever. This is the last time he will wear the magistrate's uniform."

Tao Youran and the others couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear in surprise, and it took a while to realize that they all congratulated Li Canghai.

"I came here this time to reveal the truth about Tao Zhaoxue's case to the world. Now that the case is over, I need to rush back to Luoyang immediately. The new magistrate of Zhengyang County will arrive soon." Li Canghai said .

Tao Youran sighed, and said, "I'm afraid that the people in Zhengyang won't let them go!"

Li Canghai smiled calmly, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tao, I will leave on my own, as long as the people are not disturbed."

On the execution platform, with the help of several yamen servants, Xiao Wu lifted Lv Mengtong, whose body had been separated, onto the wooden frame.

"My lord, Lu Mengtong's body has been buried, what should we do now?" Xiao Wu stepped forward and asked.

"I promised him that he would be buried with Xuanzhen, so his wish has been fulfilled." Li Canghai said deeply.

Xiao Wu nodded, and then left the execution ground with the servants.

"Cang Hai, are we going back to Luoyang now?" Di Qing asked.

Li Canghai squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "Wait a little longer. Let's go back to the county office to pack things."

Back at the county government office, Li Canghai began to ask everyone to pack their things.

Huahua is going to be taken away, the old couple of Hua's family decided to stay in Zhengyang, while Xiaohu will follow Zhang Xuan back to Qinling.

In addition, there is Fen'er, who was also brought back to Qinling by Zhang Xuan's order for medical treatment.

Fen'er was entrusted to him by Liang Xiu, he had promised Liang Xiu that he would cure Fen'er, and Zhang Xuanming's medical skills were superb, if he followed him back to the Qinling Mountains, he might be able to cure Fen'er, this is what Li Canghai would like to see of.

At the time of parting, Huahua and Xiaohu agreed with each other that they would fight for justice together when they grow up.

This was the most heartwarming scene that Li Canghai had seen recently amidst all the plots.

In the flower hall of the county government office, Li Canghai was holding a teacup, drinking it one after another. He didn't know that the tea was spilled on his collar, and he focused all his attention on the roster on his lap.

Since he got the roster, Li Canghai hadn't read it carefully yet. After looking through it, Li Canghai realized how amazing the power of 'Nilin Xuanwu' infiltrating the court was.

Taoist Wuyin said at the time that almost one-third of the officials in the Tang Dynasty were used by them. Originally, Li Canghai only took it as an exaggeration. Only now did he know that what Taoist Wuyin said was true.

From top to bottom in the Tang Dynasty, there are as many as a hundred officials who have directly or indirectly connected with 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'!

It can be said that a single hair will affect the whole body. If it is investigated, the entire officialdom of the Tang Dynasty will be thoroughly cleaned.

Today's Tang Dynasty is already in turmoil, and it is obviously impossible to clean up the officialdom on a large scale, which will only make the world more chaotic.

After much deliberation, Li Canghai didn't come up with a good idea, so he simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

In addition to many officials, the roster also records the location of each entrance of 'Nilin Xuanwu', as well as the situation of each entrance.

Judging from the roster, 'Nilin Xuanwu' is by no means an ordinary organization. They have their own industries, do business, or run darts, and they hand over money every year to support the plan of rebellion.

"To be able to run such a large organization in an orderly manner, this Lord Lin is really capable!" Li Canghai drank his tea and couldn't help but praise.
