Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh draw a line
Yuan Zhixing didn't close his eyes for several days. At night, he asked the servant to tinker with a pot of benzoin and rest in the study. When he was sleepy, he saw many people, Achan, covered in blood, Yan Shen, the Yingtian Mansion Tongzong who came to ask him, and his bloody faces, the fire that burned the sky red, and the faces that made him very familiar. They all looked at him indifferently.
Suddenly an angry shout came from above his head: "Yuan Zhixing."
The world in front of Yuan Zhixing suddenly collapsed and all of them pressed on him. He suddenly woke up from his dream and opened his eyes and stood in front of him with a lamp in front of him.
Yuan Zhixing was still in shock and gasped and said, "It's time to go to court?"
"No," said the manager, "It was something that happened to the Lu family in Beicheng. Shuntian Mansion suddenly rushed into the Lu family to get people, and Wang Qianhu rushed over with people."
Yuan Zhixing frowned and said, "How could Shuntian Prefecture go to the Lu family? Didn't the five cities' military officers and the inspectors notice it before?"
The manager hurriedly stepped forward to serve Yuan Zhixing to change his clothes: "The Shuntian Prefecture Office has arrested people everywhere in the past two days. At first, I didn't know that it was for the Lu family."
Yuan Zhixing said: "Where are our people? Is there anything wrong?" The northern city was not peaceful these two days, so he ordered people to stare outside the Lu family.
The manager said in a panic: "No one has come back, I am afraid... I am afraid that I will be taken together."
Yuan Zhixing was completely awake. They were deceived. I don’t know if it was the idea of Su Fu, the prefect of Shuntian, or the trap set by Wei Yuanchen, to lead him to the trap. Now that the Yuan family and the Lu family are being arrested together, it may not be easy for him to escape.
Yuan Zhixing calmed himself down and stared at the two people in the Lu family who were his confidants. Even if he was arrested in prison, he would not call him out. He had given instructions in advance not to let them enter the Lu family. As long as the Lu family didn't say anything, everyone would have nothing to do with each other and the court might not be able to convict him.
As long as there is no mistake in Shangqingguan, everything will be fine. The biggest problem is Peng Liang's case. The court arrested Tang Qianhu, and he suspected that he had gone privately with the Wucheng Military Office. Now that he made another mistake, he must investigate the Censorate and Wucheng Military Office clearly. It is inevitable that someone would be sloppy...
The manager said: "Master, are you going to have a look?"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhixing Ben wanted to go out but stopped: "Is Shangqing Temple okay?"
The manager shook his head: "I haven't asked yet."
Yuan Zhixing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It would be fine if they stared at the Lu family, but they shouldn't have found Shangqing Temple so soon.
Yuan Zhixing had just calmed down his panic when he saw someone running into the yard again.
"Master, someone from the Ministry of Justice is here."
Yuan Zhixing's expression twitched, and the Ministry of Justice took action. I believe the emperor knew that if he wanted to pass this level, he would not be able to not lose his skin.
Yuan Zhixing turned around and sat back on the chair. He seemed to be in a straight shape, but half of his strength fell.
...
It was not yet dawn, and the capital was particularly cool at night.
Qiao Song put his hand in his sleeve, his figure looked very leisurely, and his eyes looked at everything in front of him indifferently.
Qiao Zheng came over to report after seeing the situation. Before he could speak, Qiao Song said, "It's so fast. I had some expectations in advance. With the help of the eyeliner, I couldn't walk in front. Today, the emperor is going to be disappointed in the court."
Qiao Zheng said: "The person who came to Shuntian Mansion. Before he asked carefully, it may not be related to Wei Yuanchen."
Qiao Song smiled: "Wei Yuanchen does not have many people. The Lu family is in the north city. It is more natural for Shuntian Prefecture to arrest people."
Qiao Zheng lowered his head: "It's all my nephew's work is not good."
Qiao Song pulled his hand out of his sleeve and combed his robe: "I have said that Wei Yuanchen is very good, and the people who helped him investigate the case are also very good."
Qiao Zheng said: "Although Shuntian Mansion is here, we are not behind. We have obtained the servants of the Yuan family. If Yuan Zhixing is interrogated, he will also have to come forward. No matter how much evidence Shuntian Mansion gets, it will eventually be handed over to us."
Qiao Song said and looked around: "You forgot one thing, we are all here, where is Wei Yuanchen?"
Qiao Zheng thought that maybe Wei Yuanchen was hiding beside him and waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but since his uncle said that, it must be not as simple as he thought.
Qiao Song turned around and said, "I'll go to the yamen and then change my clothes to court. You can watch it here and don't have any conflicts with the Shuntian Prefecture yamen, especially the old judge Xue."
Qiao Zheng knew that Lao Tongzong Xue had long been hostile to their uncle and nephew because of Yan Shen's death.
Qiao Song got into the sedan chair, and then Qiao Zheng took the people into the Lu family again.
The Lu family was held aside by the yamen. Several dark rooms in the yard were opened and a lot of spices and gems were taken out from it, all of which were imported products.
Feng Anping's eyes glowed. He didn't know what luck he had. He had recently become a stolen goods. These stolen goods seem to be less than those in Shanxi, but they are all valuable, especially those gems.
At this moment, he was like a rich gentry sitting among mountains of gold and silver. Unfortunately, he couldn't ask the painter to draw this scene for him. He could only remember it in his heart. When he couldn't sleep at night, he would keep it in his mind and think carefully.
"Press the seal," Feng Anping said, "send it to the Shuntian Prefecture Office immediately."
The yamen responded and immediately closed the boxes.
Feng Anping smiled and looked at Lao Tongzong Xue: "Master, we are proud this time, right?"
Old Judge Xue squinted his eyes and looked at the busy yamen operator. Are you rushing before Qiao Song? In any major cases in Beijing, as long as Qiao Song intervenes, there will be no place for others to stand. Tonight, he watched the Ministry of Justice chase them, and a hint of joy in his heart inexplicably.
Finally, it was not all under Qiao Song's control. Qiao Song also missed it. Old Master Xue thought that perhaps in the near future, he would be able to bypass Qiao Song's suspicion. He felt that he had no confidence before, but now he has added some more expectations.
However, Lao Tong of Xue immediately sorted out his mood. He could not be tied up by his emotions. He should still put all his spirits on the case so as not to be exploited by others. The Wei family is also at the forefront and cannot be trusted by him.
He wanted to be worthy of Dazhou and Yan Gan. He still remembered the young man who had ambitions and came to the capital to study the Dharma. He should have a great future, but eventually broke his arms and was taken to the court for execution.
Lao Tongzong Xue's eyes became clearer and he spoke slowly: "Search carefully, nothing can be left."
"Sir Tongzong," said the Yamashiro, "Shangqingguan is on fire. The adults will take people to Shangqingguan to let you take charge of the overall situation here."
Lao Tongzong of Xue looked in the direction of Shangqing Temple. There were many scriptures enshrined in Shangqing Temple, and there was also a pagoda of Empress Gaozong, which could not be damaged. Now that there was a fire, the adults must take people to check it out in person.
The five cities of the military commanders will also lead troops there.
It seems that there are so many things tonight. Everyone has to do their own jobs to stay smoothly until dawn.
Watch the back mountain in Shangqing.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the big and small fire in front of her. Lord Wei's fire was really good. There were not many trees around and it would not burn all the goods. Not only could it attract the soldiers and people from Shuntian Prefecture, but Lord Wei did not have to wait for the people from the government office to go to the Taoist temple to search in the name of the murderer's disaster.
"How is it?" Wei Yuanchen looked at the fire, "Are you satisfied?"
