Spring is full of peach blossom water

Chapter 17 I lost Wen Tian before, and lost my lord later

After returning to the government office, Lu Li just washed his eyes with clean water, and put away the pill and the white brocade box carefully.

After drinking the medicinal soup, I simply washed up and lay down to rest.

In the dead of night, Lu Li, who had been exhausted all day, did not feel sleepy.Take out half a fire pocket from under the pillow and look at it by the moonlight.

Mr. Liang also has the same Huozhezi. Huozhezi was brought from Yungu Town, and Zou Ziheng came from Yungu Town.

The more investigations into the case of the Wu family, the more bizarre it became. Is Mr. Liang also involved now?Since I left Mr. Liang's study in the afternoon, I haven't seen Mr. Liang again.Where did my lord go?

Where did Wen Tian go?

Wen Tian is like a bystander.Looking at the Wu family case, looking at the county government, looking at myself...

If you are happy with watching, I will call you a few words casually, which will surprise you at your own neglect;

So, what is the reason for sneaking away halfway?Happy to watch, or unhappy?

Lu Li decided that when he saw Wentian again, he must ask clearly.

That night Lu Li couldn't sleep soundly, tossing and turning he couldn't settle down.As soon as the sky was bright, I got up and went to the yard to stretch my muscles and bones.

The aunt who got up early to cook saw Lu Li and immediately yelled, "What are you doing with a gun and stick when you're all injured!? Go back and lie down!"

The aunt's roar was like thunder, not to mention Lu Li was taken aback, even the maids and servants who were still asleep were woken up.

Lu Li stood stunned in the yard, the aunt rolled up her sleeves and rushed in, pushed Lu Li and drove him back into the room.Order, don't come out before breakfast!

Lu Li shook his head with a wry smile, so he had no choice but to stay in the room obediently.

The breakfast lady sent the little maid to Lu Li's room.Lu Li didn't have much appetite either, so he ate some lightly, remembering that he had to go to the Wu's house again, so how many people should he bring with him.

At this moment, the catcher Tian Yongnian hurried in, pushed open the door and said, "Catcher, after you left yesterday, Zou Daxia sent a few people, saying they were here to help. Does the catcher know about this?"

It's really here.Is Zou Ziheng willing to be ordered by adults?

What exactly was Zou Ziheng's intention? Lu Li didn't think too much about it. He told Tian Yongnian, "Put those people in the concierge, and I'll go there later."

At this moment, Lu Li was thinking: How can one person search the Wu's house? Naturally, he needs to bring more people.

The three people sent by Zou Ziheng were very honest, sitting in the porter's room and waiting politely.At three quarters of the hour, Lu Li also walked out of the room and was walking towards the gate of the yamen.

On the way, I met Master Qi Wu.

"Mr. Qi." Lu Li stopped and greeted.

Qi Wu saw Lu Li rushing up to meet him, as if he was going to look for him too.

Qi Wu looked anxious, and a thin layer of sweat could be seen on his forehead.Lu Li asked, "Mr. Qi, what happened to you?"

Master Qi grabbed Lu Li's wrist and said in a panic, "Something has happened, Boss Lu, follow me quickly."

Lu Li followed Qi Wu to the courtyard wall. The latter didn't bother to wipe off the sweat on his face, so he hurriedly said to Lu Li, "My lord has not returned all night."

Lu Li was taken aback, "When did your lord leave?"

"I left yesterday afternoon, and I heard that two yamen servants were also taken away. I didn't leave any instructions." Qi Wu hurriedly said: "What should I do?"

"Mr. Qi, don't worry." Lu Li reassured, "In the past, adults often went out alone without leaving a message, and only returned in two or three days. This time, there will be no major problems."

"It would be great if that's the case." Qi Wu said: "You don't know something. Early this morning, Mr. Hu from the state capital came, and he also brought the head arrester from the mansion, saying that he came to inquire about the case of the Wu family."

Lu Li was immediately surprised when he heard this.

There are five or six counties under the rule of Nanlingzhou, and Tuofeng County is located in the west. Although it is much richer than in the early years, it is really nothing in the eyes of the state capital.Why did the Wu family case attract the governor of the state?

There is also the head catcher known as "Yan Wang Judgment"-Tan Hu!

Although Tan Hu is in the temple, he is still half a man of the rivers and lakes.Lu Li didn't hang out in the rivers and lakes, so he didn't know what family or sect he was from. He only heard that Tan Hu was cruel and thoughtful.The gangsters planted in his hands almost burst through the state prison.

It is said that there are people in the Jianghu who have sent out secret flowers, offering a reward of 5000 taels of silver for Tan Hu's head.I don't know if it's true or not.

-

Qi Wu was in a hurry, "Lu Butou, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, I'll deal with it."

Qi Wu didn't have time to relax, so he hurriedly explained to Lu Li what to say and how to respond when he saw Mr. Hu.Lu Li didn't say a word, and he didn't know if he heard it or not.

Entering the main hall, I saw a man in official uniform with a serious face sitting in the hall.

It's the exact opposite of Xiancheng Liang Mo's white and fat.This Mr. Hu has a burly figure and a pair of tiger eyes are really scary!Xu Shi was intimidated by Master Hu's majesty, and the little maids who served tea and water were all silent, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Looking behind Mr. Hu again, standing there is Tan Hu, the "King of Hell".This Tan Hu is thin and dry, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are cold, and he looks at everyone as if he is looking at a prisoner.

These two are not easy to get along with.Lu Li thought to himself.

When he came to the house, Lu Li greeted him respectfully, and said, "Tuofeng county government arrester, Lu Li, see Mr. Hu."

Lord Hu glanced at Lu Li, and asked, "Where is Liang Mo?"

Even in the relationship between superiors and subordinates, calling an adult by name is not a good start.Lu Li didn't dare to be negligent, and said bluntly, "My lord went out to investigate the clues of the Wu family case, and he hasn't come back yet."

Mr. Hu straightened his sleeves, without looking at Lu Li, he said, "I heard that the murderer of the Wu family has been captured. What clues is Liang Mo going out to investigate?"

Lu Li slowly raised his head and looked at Master Hu in puzzlement, "My lord, the case is still under investigation and the real culprit has not been captured yet."

"Oh?" Master Hu looked at Lu Li coldly, "Didn't Wu Baihua be found? This kind of credit was done by you, Lu Butou, why did you still hide in front of this residence? Could it be that you think that this residence Want to grab credit for the county government?"

Lu Li thought to himself: Not to mention Mr. Hu's narrow stomach, how did Mr. Hu know that Wu Baihua was found?Come to think of it, it was not accidental to come here all of a sudden, it must be because he knew Master Liang was not in the mansion!

All these news came from inside the house.who is it?

Mr. Liang suddenly left without saying hello, is it to draw out the details of the mansion?

Thinking of this, Lu Li cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there is another hidden story behind the Wu family tragedy. Wu Baihua was not the murderer. If you don't believe me, you can wait for Wu Baihua to wake up and interrogate carefully."

After Lu Li finished speaking, Qi Wu, who was standing by the side, was so anxious that he wanted to cover his mouth!Lu Li, Lu Li, you can't be so straightforward when talking to Mr. Hu.If he is not happy, he might throw you in jail.You child, didn't you remember a word I told you just now?

As Qi Wu expected, Master Hu showed dissatisfaction after Lu Li finished speaking.The two thick one-line eyebrows were tightly frowned, and then looked at Lu Li's eyes, but there was no kindness in them.

At this time, Qi Wu walked up to Lu Li, bowed to Master Hu with a smile, and said, "My lord, Catcher Lu has a straightforward personality and is not good at speaking. What he meant was that although Wu Baihua is not the murderer, he has a great relationship with the case. Now that Wu Baihua has been captured, it is just around the corner to solve the case of the Wu family. Mr. Liang is now missing, but fortunately Mr. Hu is sympathetic to our plight and sent charcoal in a timely manner." After speaking, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down in the hall, "Please also Mr. Hu Uphold justice for the Wu family."

Lu Li only felt that his legs were heavy and his knees would no longer bend.

Qi Wu secretly tugged on Lu Li's sleeve, pulled it hard a few times, and then pulled him to his side and knelt down together.

A smug flash of pride flashed in Master Hu's eyes, and it seemed that he had finally achieved his goal.Picking up the teacup casually, he took a sip and said, "Even so, there should be a deadline. The residence is also very busy, how can I have time for Liang Mo to deal with the aftermath?"

Qi Wu hurriedly said: "How long does Master Hu think is good?"

"Just three days."

Before Qi Wu could exclaim in alarm, Lu Li said first, "My lord, the case of the Wu family is full of doubts, three days are not enough to clear it up."

At this time, Tan Hu, who was standing behind Mr. Hu, said, "Why, Butou Lu is not confident?"

"This has nothing to do with confidence." Lu Li said neither humble nor overbearing: "The case of the Wu family has led to many disputes. Watchman Sun Yu died on Tuofeng Mountain. Unidentified outsiders also came to the town. Yesterday, the lower officials were surrounded by killers. It's not just the lower officials, but also..."

"Forget it, why talk so much nonsense?" Lord Hu interrupted Lu Li impatiently.Said: "The government knows that your abilities are limited. Let's do this, from today onwards, Tan Toutou will be responsible for investigating the case of Wu's family, and you must do your best to assist Tan Toutou. Do you understand?"

What does this mean?

Qi Wu couldn't bear it any longer, his hands were shaking with anger.But Lu Li quietly patted him on the back.

Lu Li raised his head and glanced at Tan Hu.

Tan Hu was also taken aback.Unexpectedly, Lu Li's eyes were so clear, as if they couldn't hold anything.This kind of person is either the best to use, or the most difficult to use.

Lu Li's gaze fell from Tan Hu's body to Lord Hu's, and he said respectfully, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will do my best to assist Tan Tutou."

Tan Hu walked out from behind Mr. Hu, walked up to Lu Li, looked down at him, and stretched out his hand with a half-smile, "Boss Lu please get up quickly."

Standing up, Lu Li's expression remained unchanged, and he naturally withdrew his hand.Master Hu laughed twice, "Tan Hu, Catcher Lu is a novice, so don't make things difficult for him."

Tan Hu turned around and saluted Master Hu, "Don't worry, my lord."

"Okay, let's quickly investigate the case." Master Hu casually sent two arresters out to investigate the case, and then said to Qi Wu, "Master, prepare a rest room for the residence, and the residence will stay here for a while. It's been a few days."

"Okay, okay." Qi Wu adjusted his mood and hurriedly said: "My lord, please wait for a while, I will go here."

Letting go of Qi Wu's busy schedule, let's just say that Lu Li led Tan Hu towards the gate of the yamen.

Along the way, Tan Hu remained silent, which saved Lu Li from any trouble.When he arrived at the concierge, Lu Li stopped and said to Tan Hu, "Does Tan Hu know that Zou Ziheng has also arrived in this town?"

Tan Hu looked surprised, "Jun Ziheng? What is he here for?"

It looks like it!

Lu Li just watched Tan Hu act in front of him and didn't expose him.He explained: "Hero Zou and Wu Chen are close friends. Hearing that the Wu family was destroyed, he came here to help. Mr. Lu and Mr. Zou had met several times, so Lu was so busy these days that he couldn't get away, so he went with him. Zou Daxia has borrowed a few servants. Since Tan Tutou is here, let those servants go back."

"No need." Tan Hu took a step forward and stopped Lu Li, "It's more convenient to have someone to pass on errands. It's better to stay here, Chief Lu."

Lu Li didn't want to haggle over with Tan Hu on this matter, so he turned around to greet the three servants and gave them some advice.Afterwards, he said to Tan Hu: "There are still many doubts about Wu's house, and Lu plans to go and have a look again. What do you think Tan Butou thinks?"

Tan Hu said: "Let's talk while walking."

A group of people left the gate of the yamen, only to see a tall horse grazing with its head down.Tan Hu stepped forward, got on his horse, and then looked down at Lu Li, "Catcher Lu is injured, so don't ride a horse."

Lu Li knew that Tan Hu was trying to show him off.

Lu Li didn't want to have the same knowledge as him, but the few police officers guarding here were very dissatisfied.Xin said, you ride a horse, let my family catch up and walk quickly.What has become of this?

Among the policemen, there was a younger one who received a lot of care from Lu Li on weekdays.Young and energetic, he didn't know how to endure, so he stepped forward and pointed at Tan Hu, and said, "Why are you riding a horse? Lu Butou is going to walk? You should get off your horse too."

Tan Hu didn't even look at the young policeman, he just smiled at Lu Li and said, "Captain Lu, are you negligent in discipline? Why are your subordinates so ignorant?"

The young policeman was out of breath and wanted to step forward to argue, but Lu Li pushed him back with one hand, "Do your own thing."

The young catcher gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Captain, wait a minute, I'll lead your horse." Then he turned and went to the stables in the mansion.

Suddenly, a strong inner thrust hit the little catcher's leg.The little policeman screamed and fell to the ground.

Lu Li raised his head and stared at Tan Hu.

Tan Hu sneered and said, "Walk so carelessly? Lu Butou, why don't you help me, this doll is very nervous about you."

Lu Li's eyes were still so clear, without any trace of anger.He turned around, handed the sword in his hand to the yamen servant next to him, approached the little catcher, and asked softly, "Can you bear it?"

The little catcher gritted his teeth and nodded.

Lu Li greeted the three servants and said, "Please take my brother to the clinic for a visit. This is the consultation fee."

The servant took the money from Lu Li, helped the little arrester and left quickly.Lu Li supported the stone pile on the ground at the gate of the yamen, and raised his eyes to see a few servants in the courtyard who were staring at him.These servants stared at Tan Hu angrily!

"Everyone go to work." Lu Li didn't know who he was talking to.

Tan Hu glanced at Lu Li's back with a sneer, and urged, "Captain Lu, how long are you going to delay?"

Lu Li got up, took the sword from someone else, and went down the steps.

The few yamen servants who stayed at the door didn't know what to do.They all sighed and went back to the gatehouse.When he walked through the gate, he saw that the pile of stones that Lu Li brushed just now turned into stone powder.
