After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Liang Jingtian waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand, and Mr. Lu who was sitting below could feel the slight cool breeze. The prefect was not such a playboy, so why did he imitate others and fan himself in the middle of winter?

Prefect Liang shook the fan for a while and then put it away with a snap. "Why are you here again? I wonder what's the matter this time?"

Mr. Lu said, "Sir, this time we are here again regarding the student who was imprisoned last time, Zhu Nian."

Prefect Liang asked, "What's going on?"

Mr. Lu said, "Now all the students in the academy know about his story and feel unfair for him. Sir, can you first interrogate Zhu Nian and release him as soon as possible after the investigation is complete?"

"Didn't I say before that the suspects are now in Zhang Zhe's hands, and we, Mr. Mo Cheng, have no right to ask about it. Didn't you explain this to the students?"

"I have already said that...the students are standing up for Zhu Nian, and they are gathering together in a fierce manner, which is not a good thing." At the same time, he told what happened in the classroom that day.

Seeing these students, Governor Liang unconsciously waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand faster.

"These students seem to want to help me solve the case. They talk so convincingly. It's really ridiculous!"

Mr. Lu said, "It's not a good idea to drag it on like this. The government office has been delaying it before. If we had asked them earlier, the students wouldn't have been discussing it privately. You know, the county exam will be in February next year. Please solve this matter as soon as possible so that the students can study with peace of mind. Otherwise, I'm just worried that the seniors and parents will make a fuss."

Liang Jingtian slammed the fan-holding hand on the table. "Parents are still making a fuss. Why don't we discipline these students properly? If they don't do well in the exams later, will they blame the government?"

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Although you and I both understand the truth, I'm afraid those parents are also very worried. When I took the students to visit the parents, they expressed their concerns. They were really afraid of being implicated in Zhu Ni's affairs. After all, haven't Master Zhang and Master Liao, who came to the capital, already started investigating the family of the girl who was selected for the school?"

Liang Jingtian said, "So what do you think? If the students start to make trouble, should we also start investigating the prefectural school?"

Mr. Lu said, "We all have the same mentality. We also want to appease the students as soon as possible. But now those students have already paid attention to Zhu Nian's matter. Zhu Nian is indeed a simple man with a clean family background. This is also easy to investigate. It is not a bad idea for you to follow the crowd and investigate him first with those people in Shangjing. Anyway, it will be investigated sooner or later."

Liang Jingtian was silent for a while and said, "I know about this. I will go to talk to Mr. Zhang later."

Mr. Lu was overjoyed to hear him say this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up, bowed, and thanked him, "Your Excellency loves the people like your own children. This is truly a blessing for our great Zhou."

As winter approaches, the autumn nights are slightly cooler, adding a touch of desolation to Yi Garden. The occasional chirping of insects and birds adds a bit of weirdness. Liao Chengyi wrapped his cloak around himself and said, "This Yi Garden is not as good as Chun Yutang. It looks unlucky. If it was Chun Yutang, maybe Lord Lu would not have died."

He didn't want to live here just because Lord Lu died here. At this point, he said, "Why don't we go to the Fu family to borrow Chun Yutang to stay. I think they will definitely agree."

Zhang Zhe said, "We didn't come here for pleasure."

Liao Chengyi was quite bored and said, "What happened to Shi Lan that year? You still don't want to tell me. He is such a tough guy."

Zhang Zhe snorted and said nothing.

"Are there any suspicious things about those women?"

Zhang Zhe snorted even more this time, "If you say it's suspicious, then Lord Lu knows more about it than us, after all, he dealt with those two."

Liao Chengyi laughed loudly, obviously agreeing with this statement, and just said, "Then those two suspicious people are suspicious?"

Zhang Zhe said, "Which family is a native of Mo City? There are rich people in the family, and there are scholars, but few are officials. Most of the families are merchants. The first one is a poor family, relying on the Liu family and making a living from the Liu family."

"Liu family, that Liu family?"

"Liu Wenru, the great general of the Liu family in the northeast road of Mocheng."

Liao Chengyi stopped and said, "The Northeast Road was under the control of the late emperor's guards."

The eunuch's eyes immediately became sharp like a vulture. Zhang Zhe said, "Who said it wasn't true? I heard that he and Xie Ping didn't get along well. He resigned because of the conflict. Hu Haoran wanted to speak for him, but Ji Wuya took the opportunity to make some demands, so the matter was finally dropped..."

Liao Cheng smiled and said, "Hu Haoran has a good temper, but to be honest, Prime Minister Ji is already old, it's time for him to go back home to enjoy his retirement. Otherwise, he can learn from Sima Hu and grow flowers and grass at home."

Zhang Zhe said, "Prime Minister Ji was once the emperor's teacher, but all the noble children in the capital who followed the emperor at that time called him teacher..."

These children of powerful people have grown up now, and they occupy half of the power in Shangjing. It can be said that they have many disciples. The status of Lord Ji, who is respected and virtuous, can be imagined.

Liao Chengyi curled his lips and said, "What kind of imperial teacher is he? If he is an imperial teacher, he can't be regarded as the wise master of Huangjue Temple, who is the only one recognized by the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

"Speaking of which, I am a little skeptical. Does the master of Huangjue Temple really exist?"

Liao Chengyi said, "Of course, although I didn't see it with my own eyes then, but now it has been passed down to the fourth generation, and they are all called the Fourth Master. Lord Lu has seen them. Why do you think Lord Lu is so good at martial arts now? It was because he followed the Empress to Huangjue Temple, and received some pointers from the Fourth Master." When he said this, he clicked his tongue a few times with envy.

Zhang Zhe said, "If he hadn't been advised back then, maybe he would be alive and well now! Lord Liao, don't be envious."

Liao Chengyi laughed and said, "That's uncertain. Maybe he died a long time ago. Liu Wenru has his doubts."

Zhang Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "That woman had been dependent on Liu Wenru before he returned. I also checked the neighbors and found nothing suspicious. If there was any suspicion, I would not have chosen that woman..." He paused when he said this.

"But it would be nice to have her elected."

Liao Chengyi and Zhang Zhe looked at each other and said in unison, "Liu Wenru has a daughter who is now twelve years old."

Liao Cheng nodded and said, "Catch them first, and then what about the Wei family?" The women of the right age should also be captured. "

Zhang Zhe responded with "yes". Then they heard footsteps in the distance. They turned around and saw a guard stopped and saluted, obviously having something important to report.

"Mr. Liang, the governor, is here."

Liao Chengyi and Zhang Zhe looked at each other in surprise.

"What is he doing here?" Liao Cheng said, "Hasn't he always disliked us?"

Zhang Zhe said, "Then let's see why he came here, and who or what forced him to do it." After saying that, he raised his hand and said please.

At this time, the lights in Xiaolin Hall were on. Mr. Zhixing walked over quickly, yawned, and sat down with his body tilted.

"I am a teacher, and I have to spend a lot of time coordinating with students. I am really old, and I will die of exhaustion sooner or later."

"Didn't you get enough rest during the day, sir?"

Zhixing said angrily, "How can I sleep well when you guys are making so much noise all day long?"

"Still glaring at me, why are you joining in the fun?"

Yingge said, "That's my classmate, I can't just ignore him."

"Tsk, take care of yourself first. I'm telling you, I only have one pill of that medicine. If you get hurt again this time, I might not have any left."

"Don't worry, sir. We students are all good at talking, not fighting."

"Oh, you said these words, and you thought I would believe them. You just talked but didn't do anything. Who killed Lu Gongqing..."

Yingge paused as she held the pen. It shouldn't be possible, um, definitely not...

"I knew it definitely wouldn't be Zhu Nian or something like that." She said seriously.

She really dared to say that Zhu Nian killed Lu Gongqing.

Zhixing was choked by her words, "Bah, who knows? Don't joke around in the middle of the night. If they find out it's that person, then it can't be someone strange..."

Don't scare people so late at night. Yingge was really scared just now. Fortunately, she was calm and composed, otherwise she would have been exposed. But the ink on the paper was still stained. She smiled.

"why are you laughing."

Yingge put down the pen and said, "Even if it's not three, four, or five, you can't just casually suspect others. You need evidence."

Zhixing curled his lips, "You really are just joining in the fun. The suspect may not have killed the person himself, maybe he is someone he knows?"

Well, you are right about this. It is indeed someone I know!

"Then check it out. Why are they always keeping people in prison?"

Zhixing scratched his ears impatiently and said, "Oh, it's so noisy. You guys were noisy during the day, and now you're nagging too. What do you say..."

"Is that assassin the real murderer who stabbed you?"

Yingge immediately sat up straight and said, "It's very likely. I said so. I'm such a powerful person, there's no way I can just casually..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhixing interrupted her, "Stop, I was wrong, just pretend I didn't say anything, study hard, you have to make up for the huge gap in your studies."

Yingge lowered her head and looked at the book. "I've been under pressure all the time, sir. I have to attend classes in the morning and study at night. I can only sleep in the afternoon. There is really no one who works harder than me now. I even forgot that my injury has just healed a little!"

Zhixing said, "I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Your injury is almost healed, and it's time to catch up on your training. Read in the first half of the night, and start practicing in the second half."

Yingge put down the book in her hand and said, "Sir!"

Zhixing looked at him and felt a little scared by his formality. "You, what do you want to say? Why, you still want to bargain? I am your husband, and I have the final say..."

"Sir, did you kill Lord Lu?"

Zhixing pouted, "What a mess!"

"You are so powerful and so cruel on weekdays, killing him shouldn't be a problem."

"Killing him is certainly not a problem." After saying this, he immediately reacted and glared at Yingge, "Are you saying that I'm cruel because I arranged a lot of homework for you?"

"The teacher also knows that he has arranged a lot of homework."

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Humph, do you think I will believe you?" Zhixing knocked on the table with a ruler. "Hurry up and study. Don't just talk big but you don't have any real skills."

"Be reasonable!"

"Shut up, I have the final say."

The two of them bickered for a few words in Xiaolin Hall. The doors and windows were closed, and the mat hanging at the door blocked the light inside. Zhixing walked around behind Yingge with a ruler in his hand, watching the boy sitting on the desk, writing and reciting silently...
