A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Under Lu Cheng's questioning, Lu Yanchang quickly confessed all the crimes he had committed. The secretary in charge of recording became more and more frightened as he wrote. He did not expect that such a case of robbery and robbery would actually involve the young marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion.

Once the suspect's mind collapsed, the interrogation became much easier. Lu Cheng focused on some serious murders. Especially for those cases involving the young Marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, Lu Cheng asked about every detail and made it clear.

After all the confessions were recorded, the lawyer looked at the thick stack of records in his hand, shook his sore wrist, and when he looked up at Young Master Lu, he knew in his heart that Young Master Lu was finished.

"Master Meng, immediately have someone copy this petition twice more and have Lu Yanchang sign and stamp it with his handprint."

"Yes, my lord."

"Throw Lu Yanchang into jail and wait for punishment."

By the time the three confessions were prepared and Lu Yanchang had signed and sealed them all, it was already evening.

With just this confession, Lu Cheng could not, for the time being, lead the yamen runners to rush into the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion and arrest the young marquis.

Moreover, even if the evidence was conclusive, Lu Cheng, a sixth-rank prosecutor, did not have the power to rush into the marquis's mansion and arrest the eldest son of the marquis.

At this time, Shuntian Prefecture Governor had also seen Lu Yanchang's confession and rushed over: "Lord Lu, why did you implicate the young marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion? I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."

"Sir, we have Lu Yanchang's confession here. That young marquis took human life lightly and killed innocent people. This is no small matter! Since you can't handle it, you should report it to His Majesty immediately."

"That's all it can do."

In fact, the Shuntian Prefecture Governor was a third-rank civil official who was in charge of important areas in the capital and held considerable power.

But in the capital, there are princes, four kings and eight dukes, and many marquisates, and nobles gather here. There are also close connections between those nobles, and they are related to each other, forming a huge network of relationships.

Even the governor of Shuntian Prefecture was always cautious in his actions and did not dare to offend any party easily.

However, now that things have come to this point and the confessions have been recorded, if no action is taken, I am afraid the emperor will immediately replace the Shuntian prefect.

Immediately, the prefect wrote a memorial and submitted it to the palace along with a recorded confession.

Emperor Changtai was having dinner with the empress in Kunning Palace when he suddenly received such a memorial. After reading the confession, he was furious: "This noble son did not think of joining the army to serve the country. Instead, he killed innocent people and brought disaster to the people. It is really unforgivable."

Seeing the emperor so angry, the queen immediately asked, "Your Majesty, what happened? Please calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger."

"Hmph, just take a look. Marquis Jing'an really disappoints me."

After reading it, the Queen was also a little surprised: "This... Marquis Jing'an is not a good parent. He should be severely punished."

"This is not about not teaching your son well, this is about letting him commit crimes. Send an order to let the governor of Shuntian Prefecture investigate this case with all his strength. I want to see how many more absurd things the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion has done! Also, ask the Jinyiwei to cooperate and assist."

As it was getting dark, Lu Cheng was about to leave the yamen when the eunuch from the palace suddenly came to the yamen with an imperial edict, ordering the prefect of Shuntian and Lu Cheng to fully supervise the case of the young marquis of Jing'an Marquisate.

However, it was already late at night and the city gates were closed, so Lu Cheng had no way of taking people out of the city to look for further evidence.

However, after receiving the emperor's decree, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture immediately issued a gag order, strictly forbidding people in the government office to spread today's events, so as to prevent the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion from knowing the news in advance.

Soon, a night passed.

The next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, Lu Cheng, accompanied by a large group of yamen runners and several Jinyiwei who came to assist in the investigation, took Lu Yanchang out of the city to the West Mountain to search for the remains of the hunter family who had been killed a year ago.

With Lu Yanchang leading the way and the professional Jinyiwei assisting, the group quickly found the home of the murdered hunter and recovered two corpses from the ruins.

However, this place was burned down a year ago, and had experienced many winds, frosts, rains and snows in the past year, so there was no usable evidence left on the two corpses.

Afterwards, according to Lu Yanchang's instructions, half of the body of the murdered girl was found in a valley.

The girl was raped in turns and then thrown into the valley. After her death, her body was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, leaving only some bones. It was really pitiful.

Seeing that the Jinyiwei didn't find much useful stuff, Lu Cheng had to go out himself and search carefully in the ruins.

After searching for nearly half an hour, they finally found a metal button in the mud, a waist badge dropped by a guard of the Marquis' Mansion, and several metal arrows used exclusively in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion in the nearby mountains and forests.

With these evidences, plus Lu Yanchang's confession and witnesses, it is enough to go to Jing'an Marquis Mansion to arrest people.

When Lu Cheng returned to Shuntian Prefecture Yamen with the evidence, the commander of the Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Division was already waiting in the yamen.

"Lord Lu, His Majesty has ordered that we take care of the rest. Lord Lu, please hand over all the witnesses and evidence to us."

"Then it'll be hard work."

After all, Lu Cheng was just a small prosecutor. He was fine for investigating cases, but he was not good enough to arrest people or interrogate nobles.

Lu Cheng didn't care about all this and immediately handed over the evidence he had found and the confession he had prepared to the Jinyiwei.

As for the young marquis, he will confess everything once he is in the Jinyiwei prison.

As for how to deal with the rest, whether to temporarily scare the enemy with a warning or to take advantage of the opportunity to make a big deal out of a small matter and cut off one of its fingers, it all depends on the emperor's final choice.

In this case, Lu Cheng has already demonstrated his ability and courage, so there is no need for him to continue to participate.

Perhaps, Emperor Changtai let the Jinyiwei take over as a way to protect Lu Cheng.

After two days of running around, Lu Cheng, who was used to slacking off, found it a little difficult to get used to it.

When I got home in the evening, Xiangling and Qingwen were eagerly waiting. The two little girls, aged fourteen or fifteen, had grown up to be very pretty.

Xiangling has been practicing martial arts for many years. Although she is not as diligent and hardworking as Daiyu, and her talent is slightly inferior, she has also successfully entered the realm of dark power with the help of elixirs.

Years of martial arts training, coupled with adequate nutrition, made Xiangling develop earlier than other girls of the same age. She had a slender figure, exquisite and well-proportioned, and exuded a healthy beauty.

As for Qingwen, she was still somewhat thin when she first came, but after half a year of conditioning and standing, her body gradually became stronger. The little lotus that had just begun to show its tip has already shown its ups and downs.

In fact, Daiyu and Xue Baochai are both the first of the Twelve Golden Hairpins, Xiangling is also the first of the second volume of the Twelve Golden Hairpins, and Qingwen is the first of the second volume of the Twelve Golden Hairpins.

The looks of these three girls were originally very outstanding. After training, they became even more outstanding.

Being surrounded by such lively and lovely young girls all day long, Lu Cheng also feels like he is a little younger.

After dinner, Lu Cheng had nothing to do, so he started to tease the two girls: "Qingwen, how are you doing with your studies recently?"

"Master, I can now recognize 1,500 Chinese characters, and I have also learned more than a dozen poems."

"Really? Then let me test you..."
