Mrs. Xiao Zhao happily agreed, "Okay, I'll be here when you call me."
Gao Tuiguan, Lu Dianshi, and Liu Zuozuo came out of the Zhao Mansion and got on the car. Lu Dianshi handed the five silver notes to Gao Tuiguan and said, "Take these, sir. We will start repairing the prison building in Liujiawan tomorrow."
"
The high official took the bank note and said, "Why wait for tomorrow? Let's start construction today! Old Liu, take this and bring some people with you to buy the materials for repairing the prison building."
The high-ranking official took out a banknote and handed it to Liu Wuzuo.
Liu Wuzuo accepted the banknote without asking where it came from. He just said: "I have to go back to the Yamen first, wash my hands and change my clothes, and then go to work."
Anyone who is familiar with Liu Zuozuo knows that this man has a habit. After touching the corpse, he must go back to the Yamen to shower and change clothes, so that he will feel comfortable, otherwise, nothing can be done.
Lu Dianshi took the words and said, "Just in time, you and your Excellency go back to the Yamen, and I will take people to Gongyuan to pick up the people and come back for questioning."
Lu Dianshi jumped out of the car and led people towards Gongyuan.
After Gao Tuiguan and others left, Zhao Xinglong looked at Zhao Hequan and asked: "Father, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it? What if they don't do anything with the money?"
Mrs. Zhao took over and said, "Don't worry, they will go get the people after they receive the money."
Zhao Xinglong said: "They said they would get the person, but there was no guarantee that they would get the person! What if they couldn't get the person? Is it worth it? That's one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Mrs. Xiao Zhao said: "How can you know if you don't try? If you don't ask for a higher price, will others be willing to do things for you?
Besides, what happened to the one hundred thousand taels of silver? I bought a few less sets of jewelry, but as long as I can destroy that bastard, I won’t feel sad no matter how much money I have."
Zhao Hequan said: "Okay, Xiaoman has his own reasons for doing things, so don't ask any more questions. Brother Qing is gone. You can take care of his funeral."
Zhao Xinglong looked at his father, then at his sister, and wanted to say something, but finally stopped, sighed, and turned around to leave.
Zhao Hequan looked at the door, turned to look at Mrs. Zhao, and said: "You, you look like this when talking to your brother!
Your brother is not worried about the money, he is worried about your reputation.
Whether this happens or not, if word gets out, you will be notorious for treating your stepson harshly."
Mrs. Zhao said nonchalantly: "As long as people who care about reputation don't care about it, it's just a gust of wind. Once it blows, it's over."
Zhao Hequan said: "Having said that, it is better for you to do less of this kind of thing. From now on, you will let my uncle do such things instead of doing it yourself. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Zhao said impatiently: "My daughter knows. If it were not urgent, my daughter would not take this risk.
Ever since Xiao Yezhong became Grand Scholar Yang's disciple, Yang'er has been under pressure from him everywhere in the past few years.
Now King Chen intends to accept Sister He as his concubine. If Xiaoyezhong takes the high school entrance examination and catches the eye of King Chen, Brother Yang's situation in the palace will be even more embarrassing.
Therefore, the little bastard must be destroyed."
Zhao Hequan said: "Then you decide what to do and be cautious in everything. As for Li, please give her more advice and put Brother Ping in her name as soon as possible."
Zhao Yongping was born to Zhao Xinglong's concubine, and his biological mother fell into a well and died when Zhao Yongping was eight years old.
Compared with Zhao Yongqing, who was idle and uneducated, Zhao Yongping was much more diligent and motivated, and was very popular with Zhao Hequan.
After Zhao Yongqing was injured, Zhao Hequan deliberately recorded Zhao Yongping in the name of Li.
Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, my daughter knows what she's doing."
Shi Jingyang came out of the Yang Mansion and turned around to go to the Military and Horse Division in the south of the city. The location of Gongyuan happened to be under the jurisdiction of the Military and Horse Division in the south of the city.
Soon, Shi Jingyang came out of the Army and Horse Division, and as soon as he got on the car, he saw Xu Weiwu, the commander of the Army and Horse Division in the south of the city, leading people out, and the group headed towards Gongyuan in a mighty manner.
Shi Jingyang watched Xu Weiwu leave and ordered: "Go to Gongyuan."
"Yes, I understand." Qingshan gave the horse a gentle whip, started the car, and headed towards Gongyuan.
Qingshan drove the car and said: "Sir, Qingsong personally went to Taiqing Palace to ask for a minister from heaven. This old-fashioned man actually did unscrupulous things for the sake of money. He really needs to be punished."
Shi Jingyang said yes, indicating that he understood. He was just a Taoist priest, so he didn't need to bother.
After a while, Shi Jingyang said: "Go back and check the Zhao family carefully."
Qingshan asked: "I think there is something unknown about the Zhao family? It should be investigated. We checked it out last time."
Shi Jingyang thought for a while and said: "Zhao is obsessed with Yingzhe and Ah Wei, and wants to destroy them.
I think Mrs. Zhao's hatred for Yingzhe and Ah Wei exceeds the jealousy of ordinary women. There may be reasons for this that we don't know.
Furthermore, find out the cause of death of Yingzhe’s mother, Mrs. Zhao, and the entanglement between Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao.”
Across the world, there are many families with step-sons and step-daughters, and there are also some stepsons and step-daughters who do not get along well with their step-mothers.
But this was the first time he had seen someone put his stepson and stepdaughter to death over and over again.
Ordinarily, Mrs. Zhao is the stepmother of Ning Yu and Ning Wei. Ning Yu and Ning Wei are healed, which is only good for her. Why can’t Ms. Zhao not see them?
"What I'm saying is that Mrs. Zhao seems to have a really strong hatred for Mr. Ning and Miss Ning. I understand, and I'll check it out later," Qingshan replied.
The Zhao Mansion in Shuanglian Lane is located in the outer city. Lu Dianshi took people to the Gongyuan in the inner city. Soon, Mrs. Qian of the Ning Mansion received the news.
Mrs. Qian was so angry that she banged her cane on the ground and cursed: "She doesn't want to live a peaceful life, so I will help her. Yue Niang, change your clothes and have someone prepare the car."
Yueniang turned around and ordered, while Donghui and others came forward and quickly changed clothes for Mrs. Qian.
Soon, Mrs. Qian left Ning Mansion accompanied by Hu Rui and Yue Niang.
Yue Niang asked: "Old madam, where are we going? Yamen or Gongyuan?"
Mrs. Qian blurted out: "Let's go to Gongyuan first, and I'll go meet this Master Dianshi first!"
Lu Dianshi led his officers to the east of Gong Street, still more than a hundred feet away from Gongyuan, when they were stopped by people from the Military and Horse Division.
"Lu Dianshi, where are you going to handle this case? The exams are starting today in autumn, and the Gongyuan is silent and noisy within a hundred feet. This is an order from above."
Lu Dianshi smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Deputy Commander Wang Shi, it's like this. I'm here because I have official business.
A murder occurred in the Zhao Mansion in Shuanglian Lane last night. After various investigations, it was determined that Ning Yu, the candidate who participated in the Qiuwei exam, was a major suspect.
This officer is here to take Ning Yu back to the Yamen for questioning."
Deputy Commander Wang Shi looked at Lu Dianshi and nodded clearly, "Oh, so that's why! This matter is indeed no small matter.
But I can't help it, so I have to report it to my superiors. I ask Lu Dianshi to wait here while he goes down to make a report."
Lu Dianshi smiled and leaned forward and said: "That's right, you've got to work!"
Deputy Commander Wang Shi ordered his subordinates: "Keep your posts and I will come back as soon as I go."
After speaking, Deputy Commander Wang Shi turned around and headed towards Gongyuan.
At the teahouse not far away, Qingshan saw that Deputy Commander Wang Shi had gone to Gongyuan. He turned to Shi Jingyang and said, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Shi Jingyang said: "Let's take a look first. When Commander Xu comes out, we can go over."
"Yes." Qingshan turned around and saw Hu Rui helping Mrs. Qian get out of the car. "Sir, why is Mrs. Qian here?"
Shi Jingyang looked up and saw Mrs. Qian walking towards where Lu Dianshi was.
Shi Jingyang stood up in a hurry and said as he walked: "Let's go take a look."
Qingshan took out a silver coin and put it on the table. He immediately chased it and went to the door and said to the waiter: "The money on the table."
Here, Mrs. Qian was holding a cane and was supported by Hu Rui. She walked tremblingly to Lu Dianshi, stood in front of him, and asked, "Is the official Sir Dianshi?"
Lu Dianshi looked at Mrs. Qian with an angry look on her face and nodded blankly, "Yes, I am none other than Lu Dianshi."
After Mrs. Qian confirmed Lu Dianshi's identity, without saying a word, she raised her crutch and swung it towards Lu Dianshi's head.
While beating him, he cursed: "I'll beat you to death, you shameless and stupid official. If you dare to frame my grandson, I'll risk my life to fight with you."
Lu Dianshi didn't expect that Mrs. Qian would take action, so he was not prepared. When he reacted, Mrs. Qian's crutch had already been swung over, and Lu Dianshi was hit by Mrs. Qian's stick.
He quickly raised his hands to cover his head and shouted: "I have no law, you dare to hit the imperial official."
Everyone present was stunned. The policeman reacted and rushed forward, trying to snatch the crutch from Mrs. Qian's hand.
Hu Rui raised his foot and kicked the guard to prevent him from getting close to Mrs. Qian's body.
Mrs. Qian ignored it and waved the crutch in her hand at Lu Dianshi vigorously.
When the people around heard the commotion, they gathered around, but they were afraid of hitting themselves, so they didn't dare to lean in.
Shi Jingyang squeezed in from the crowd and saw Hu Rui struggling to deal with more than a dozen guards. He jumped to Mrs. Qian's side with a somersault, and the folding fan in his hand instantly turned into a sharp weapon. He greeted the two guards in the face, and there was no sign on his legs.
Forgetting to add two legs, the two guards immediately squatted down with their heads in their hands.
Qingshan squeezed in front of the crowd and saw his father guarding Mrs. Qian. He hurriedly followed up on Lingyun steps, then struck with horse steps, piercing the throat and kicking to make his movements flow smoothly. The servants who were close to him fell to the ground one after another.
Here, Mrs. Qian was waving her crutch several times and was panting.
Lu Dianshi held his head and dodged left and right, feeling very embarrassed.
It wasn't until Mrs. Qian stopped because she was tired that Lu Dianshi stood up straight, put on his airs and shouted intimidatingly at Mrs. Qian: "Where did this crazy woman come from..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Dianshi saw the people he had brought staggering around and wailing, and his momentum immediately dropped. He changed his words and said, "You crazy people are obstructing my law enforcement. What's the crime?"
Losing people does not lose the game, Lu Dianshi finally completed this official saying.
Lu Dianshi's words once again angered Mrs. Qian. Mrs. Qian once again raised the crutch in her hand and hit Lu Dianshi while cursing.
"You are a dog official, and you colluded with that poisonous woman to frame my grandson. Even if I give up my life, I will fight with you, a dog official."
Lu Dianshi had just been beaten, and he was alert now. When he saw Mrs. Qian waving the crutch again, he immediately moved two steps to the side to avoid Mrs. Qian's crutch.
Lu Dianshi avoided the situation and shouted: "Old lady, do you know..."
Xu Weiwu, who was rushing over, saw the angry old Mrs. Qian and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Auntie!"
Mrs. Qian heard Xu Weiwu's voice, turned around and looked over, dropped her crutch and sat down crying.
"Weiwei, you have to help my poor Brother Yu. That vicious woman can't stand Brother Yu. She has tried every means to destroy my Brother Yu."
Lu Dianshi came to his senses just now. The old lady in front of him was Ning Yu's grandmother, and he was secretly relieved.
Xu Weiwu walked quickly to Mrs. Qian, knelt down and comforted her: "Aunt, don't be impatient. What's the matter? Let's talk slowly. Okay?"
Mrs. Qian cried and said incoherently: "Wei Wu, they are going to destroy my brother Yu, how can I not be anxious?
Others don’t know it, but you do. Brother Yu is such a good kid. He usually blames himself for killing an ant. How could he kill someone?
That poisonous woman, in order to prevent Brother Yu from taking the exam, yesterday she had people put croton in Yu Brother's food and invited Taoist priests to perform rituals in the house. She had only one purpose, which was to prevent Brother Yu from taking the exam.
.
The poisonous woman tried all her tricks, but Brother Yu saw through his tricks again and again. Only today can I enter the venue for reference.
Just like that, that poisonous woman was not willing to give in and actually used the death of her maternal nephew to frame my brother Yu.
Mighty, what kind of evil did my aunt do in her previous life to marry such a scourge into the house?"
Mrs. Qian cried and scolded her, but her words were unambiguous.
The onlookers could be heard whispering and discussing.
"Why are there such cruel people? How can children be able to study? How can they treat children like this?"
"If my child can study, I will treat him as an ancestor."
Shi Jingyang's eyes deepened. It seemed that Mrs. Qian had made up her mind.
Xu Weiwu let Mrs. Qian finish her words, and Wen Yan said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't worry, let's get up first. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly."
Saying that, Xu Weiwu reached out to help Mrs. Qian, and Shi Jingyang also bent down to help Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian stood up with the help of Xu Weiwu's hand, turned to Shi Jingyang and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Old lady, you're welcome!"
Yue Niang stepped forward and wanted to tidy up Mrs. Qian's clothes.
Mrs. Qian avoided Yue Niang's hand, turned around and bowed to Lu Dianshi to apologize, "Sir Dianshi, I have offended you a lot just now. Please forgive me this time, Mr. Lu Dianshi."
Xu Weiwu then bowed to Lu Dianshi and said respectfully: "Master Lu, Ning Yu lost her mother when she was a child, and it was my aunt who raised her up. I ask Master Lu to please forgive my aunt for this time."
"
Lu Dianshi didn't really want to take Ning Yu back to the court for questioning, but when he saw Xu Weiwu pleading for mercy, he immediately got off the donkey.
So he said: "That's all, I understand that the old lady loves my grandson very much, so I won't care about what happened just now. However, I have official duties, so I would like to ask Commander Xu to report the whole story to the examiner..."
Before Lu Dianshi could finish his words, Mrs. Qian hurriedly interrupted him: "Master Dianshi, when you decide a case, you can't just listen to partial beliefs, but you have to pay attention to witness, physical evidence, and real evidence, right?"
