Second minister and thief

Chapter 26 Questioning

Master Lu's attack was within Chu Linqiu's expectation, so even under the hostile and veiled eyes of everyone, he remained calm and composed, and even maintained his previous posture, not taking this matter to heart at all.

He unhurriedly checked the corpse from top to bottom, before he asked, "Master Lu, how do you know for sure that the murderer sneaked into Li's residence from outside?"

"If not, how else could he commit murder?"

Chu Linqiu didn't answer, but turned to talk, "Since Emperor Wen's reign, the Xuanwu Northern Guards began to select capable people from the army and the people to lie dormant in various squares and cities. They are known as 'clairvoyance'. Said. "As long as I, Xuanwu Wei Erlang, is here, the imperial city will be as solid as gold." This is what the sage said. Lord Lu, is it the usual style of your court to pour dirty water on your colleagues without verification?" When Chu Linqiu said these words, he didn't speak fast, even a little slowly, as if he was trying to make everyone present hear him clearly.Therefore, instead of feeling aggressive, Xiao Cen felt somewhat wronged for no reason.Thinking about it, this is Chu Linqiu's brilliance.

However, this is just his idea.

In fact, among the people present, except for General Xiao, no one felt that he was wronged any more, only that he was deceiving others too much.Especially Master Lu who was questioned by him, his face was already flushed red and faintly purple.

"Lord Chu! Do I think that you are shirking responsibility?!"

"No. I'm just reminding Master Lu that it's better to find out the truth of the matter first, so as not to let others... suffer unjust injustice." The last few words, Chu Linqiu was close to Master Lu's ear Said.It's not that he insisted on this, but after bending over to examine the corpse for a long time, he couldn't stand up straight.If it wasn't for Xiao Cen who couldn't stand it and helped him up, I'm afraid Taodu's restaurant and tea shop would have an extra item of conversation tomorrow.

Chu Linqiu used his strength to stand firm, thinking with a sigh.

During the whole process, Xiao Cen has been avoiding too much attention from others on himself.After all, leading troops to fight is his specialty, but he knows nothing about solving cases, so it is naturally inconvenient to express too many opinions.But at this moment, seeing that everyone's eyes were fixed on the...hand on Chu Linqiu's waist, he had no choice but to cough, and said as if to cover up something, "Benhou sees Come on, the murderer may also be disguised as a domestic servant to serve Mr. Li, and gradually gain his trust. In this way, he can sneak into the dormitory in the middle of the night without anyone noticing, leave after the murder, and disappear from the world."

"Master Hou is right. You just need to gather the people in the house and see if they are few or not. Why do you need to say more here? Master Lu, let's go."

"..." Master Lu was looking at each other with the others, his eyes were almost popping out, his nose was buzzing, his breath was like a cow, and he was about to faint when he couldn't breathe.

Xiao Cen was worried that he would end up in the same fate as Lord Yushi Zhongcheng Zhou, so he hurriedly said to the left and right, "Lord Lu thinks he got heatstroke on the way here, why don't you hold him up?" He glanced at Chu Linqiu.

Chu Linqiu didn't take it seriously at all, and smiled against him. Later, he really couldn't stand the smell, so he walked out first.Xiao Cen wanted to say something at first, but when he saw him like this, he followed closely. When he crossed the threshold, he felt uneasy, so he helped him up again.

Everyone: "..."

"Thank you sir."

Xiao Cen stared sideways at him for a moment, Fang sneered, "Benhou said, but I don't want Master Chu to be unable to hold on for even a quarter of an hour when we get married." Lin Qiu walked through the corridor and came straight to the front yard.
