Chapter 643 Murder
Lu Zhengfu dared to swear that if one room and one tile of the Lu family's shops that Xiao Yu asked for could fall into the hands of Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji, he would be willing to die without a place to bury him!It's just Xiao Yu's insatiable greed. The hundreds of thousands of dollars of wealth in front of him can't satisfy him, and he still needs the foundation of the Lu family's livelihood...
But Lu Zhengfu had no other choice.
One thing is certain, Xiao Yu will definitely do things for him after taking his money, even if the price is too heavy, it is almost unbearable for the whole Lu family...
But if it was another person, let alone help or not, even if the money was collected, there was a high possibility that they would swallow it secretly, and the money would not be done.Even so, with the current situation where the Lu family is about to be ruined, what can they do?
Therefore, Lu Zhengfu is still grateful for being beaten to the bone by Xiao Yu.
"Thank you, Duke Song, for your great kindness. Even though the Lu clan was smashed to pieces, there is no way to repay it. This old man ordered someone to send a letter to his family, sending all the house deeds to the capital, and asked Duke Song to work around and protect my family from the Lu clan."
Xiao Yu stroked his long beard with one hand, and patted Lu Zhengfu's completely slumped shoulder with the other, comfortingly said: "It's not that someone is unreasonable, and someone wants to be friendly with you, but there is no benefit in the civil and military affairs of the court, who would go to see you for you?" Where is Your Majesty?"
Lu Zhengfu was obedient, but he swallowed a mouthful of blood in his heart!
Our Lu family has been glorious for hundreds of years, even if we are facing a desperate situation now, we will rise one day!At that time, who would dare to persecute Mrs. Lu like this?Right now, although the Lu family is desperate, they can only let themselves be plundered, but Lu's things are not something anyone can take away...
*****
There is a saying that is called "people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves".
In this era where the clan is the ancestor of the law, whenever the interests of the individual and the clan conflict, the former must give way to the latter, or "in the clan, people can't help themselves"...
It is impossible for Xiao Yu to directly intervene in Lu Xiaoyu's case in consideration of the past friendship with Lu Zhengfu. He is the head of the Xiao family, and he represents not only himself.When he intervenes, it means that the entire Xiao family is involved, without corresponding interests, and unable to explain to the entire clan, even if Xiao Yu is the head of the family.
The interests of the family are above all else.
Similarly, Lu Zhengfu would not be grateful for Xiao Yu's action, after all, the Lu family paid an almost unbearable price for this.It is a last resort to spend money to save the family from disasters. If one day the situation is reversed and Xiao Yu comes to beg him, then his actions will be the same as Xiao Yu's.
Still the same sentence, the interests of the family are above all else...
It's just that what Lu Zhengfu never imagined was that the phrase "blessings come without pairs, misfortunes never come singly" is definitely not just words.The ancestors have condensed life experience in countless years and have the wisdom of insight into the secrets of heaven.
"Liu Fu Lou" is the only property of the Lu family in the capital, but it is also the largest inn and first-class restaurant in the capital.After Lu Xiaoyu became an official in Beijing, the Lu family established the property for Lu Xiaoyu to make friends with officials from the DPRK and China. It was managed by Lu Xiaoyu's younger brother, Lu Xiaojie.
On the night when Lu Zhengfu was almost cut off from the foundation of the Lu family by Xiao Yu, a jaw-dropping riot broke out in Pingkang Fang where the "Liu Fu Lou" was located.Officials from Honglu Temple, Japanese envoys, Wei Wang Li Tai, royal family members, sons of honored nobles, dudes... These irrelevant people fought and almost demolished half of Pingkangfang.
Then in the morning of the next day, the shopkeeper of "Liu Fu Lou" went to Wannian County to report the case. The owner, Lu Xiaojie, and his wife were killed in the backyard bedroom...
Lu Zhengfu, who was detained by Xiao Yu and stayed overnight in Song Guogong's mansion, heard the news and rushed to the backyard of "Liu Fu Lou", and when he saw the tragic scene, he fainted immediately, which caused another burst of ghosts and gods in "Liu Fu Lou". Chaos.
The world has been at peace for a long time. Although Chang'an City dare not say "Do not close the house at night, and do not pick up lost items on the road", murder cases like this are absolutely rare.Naturally, the magistrate of Wannian County did not dare to be negligent, and summoned the guards in the yamen together with the expert investigators from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the scene immediately.
The investigation went smoothly, this is not a well-planned case...
Traces were found in the dog hole in the wall of the backyard, and the murderer should have entered the backyard from there. It can be seen that the murderer must be thin and short, otherwise it would be difficult to get in and out of the dog hole.According to the footprints left in the backyard and the scene, the murderer should be four people. They got into the backyard through the dog hole, and then swaggered into the main room where Lu Xiaojie and his wife were sitting. Instead of using weapons, they directly pinched the couple with their hands. Death, there are bruises on the neck of the deceased, and the method is extremely cruel.
What's more cruel is that Lu Xiaojie's wife was obviously violated before she died, probably because of her desperate resistance. She was beaten with scars all over her body, naked, her lower body was in a mess, and her death was horrific.
The room was searched in a mess, and according to the inspection by the maid of Lu Xiaojie and his wife, a lot of clothes and gold, silver and jewelry were lost.
As for tracking down the murderer is easier.
Fished out some strange clothes from a pool in the backyard, and then checked who was in Pingkangfang at that time, and then who quietly left the capital...then locked the murderer as a few Japanese envoys, these few After committing the crime, the man must have changed his clothes and left Pingkangfang.
The Yamen servants of Wannian County and the arresting officers of the Ministry of Criminal Justice almost turned the entire Chang'an city upside down, but there was no trace of the Japanese envoys.
The envoys of the Japanese kingdom disappeared after the Pingkangfang Rebellion. At first, no one paid attention to these soy sauce-like characters. Even if they died, who would care about the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty?
But now the appearance of this murder case has caused the entire city of Chang'an to boil!
When did Japanese devils commit such unscrupulous violence in the Tang Dynasty?What's more, it is still in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire!This is simply a naked slap on the faces of the monarchs, ministers and common people of the Tang Dynasty, with a crackling sound and burning pain!
The people were outraged, and the people spontaneously gathered in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, demanding that the Ministry of Criminal Justice investigate the murderer and bring him to justice!
Naturally, the Ministry of Punishment ignored the negligence, and while summarizing the case and reporting it to the Zhengshitang, it issued arrest documents at sea, ordering the prefectures and counties along the way from Chang'an to Laizhou to strictly investigate the suspects, etc., and the murderer must be arrested and brought to justice.
After His Majesty Li Er learned of the case, he was furious!
He ordered someone to carry Fang Jun to the Tai Chi Palace, roared angrily, and sprayed Fang Jun all over his face with saliva!
"Remember, once the navy becomes an army, after I level Goguryeo, I will immediately set sail and reach Dongying! If I don't let out this bad breath, I will be a king in vain!"
In fact, even His Majesty Li Er knew that in the current situation of poor communication and traffic jams, once the murderer left Chang'an City, unless he was stupid enough to slip through the net, it would be basically impossible to catch these envoys.The world is so big, and the uninhabited area is very wide, as long as you hide there for a month or two, basically nothing will happen.It is impossible for the imperial court's police to keep an eye on these people all day long, and there are still many things to deal with...
Fang Jun wiped the saliva on his face, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there must be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese country! In fact, there is no need to wait until the Koguryo is conquered. As long as your Majesty sends troops to Goguryeo, the Japanese will definitely be unwilling to be lonely. Send troops to fish in troubled waters, and at that time, the humble minister will definitely make the Japanese unable to eat!"
To put it bluntly, I was actually a little disappointed in my heart.
With such a domineering character of His Majesty Li Er, he has not yet paid attention to the one-acre three-point land of the Japanese country. The naive Japanese country is just a group of unscrupulous people in poor mountains and rivers, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it...
In fact, in history, only Kublai Khan launched a large army to attack Dongying, but it was stopped due to the sudden drop of natural disasters.The rest of the emperors, whether it was the domineering Emperor Qin and Han Wu, the enterprising Tang Zong and Song Zu, or even the mighty Ming Dynasty, never thought of conquering Dongpu.
Natural conditions are one aspect, but more of it is because the Han people are not good at aggression and are content with one side.If you really want to conquer Japan, how could there be so many unified and powerful dynasties and so many wise and powerful emperors in history, how could it be impossible to bring down a mere island country?
You must know that until now, the so-called nobles on that island didn't even have a surname...
Dongying has always been in Fang Jun's plan, as the saying goes, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch"?The current Dongying is vulnerable. In fact, almost all of Dongying's history has succumbed to the Han dynasty.But Fang Jun knew that once this vicious nation burst into power, it would be a kind of madness full of destruction...
He wants to hold this nation firmly in the crevices of the island's rocks, so that they will never stand up again, and let the broken earth, gushing magma, and violent waves sing the mournful music of destruction for them, and they will be imprisoned in hell forever. In despair...
However, how to persuade His Majesty Li Er to use force in Dongying, who looked down on him?
Fang Jun's thoughts turned, thinking of an excuse to impress His Majesty Li Er...
