Chapter 144 Seeing words is like meeting each other(1/2)
"Lang Jun, something happened!"
Jiang Cheng hurriedly ran from the shop through the backyard and went straight to the back hall.
"Outside, there's a fight outside. Wulang is fighting with the eighth-rank Cangcao of Jingzhao Mansion..."
The two people were sitting together in the hall talking about publishing books. Xue Bai heard this and asked, "Now that the fight has started, will Wu Lang suffer any loss?"
"this……"
Jiang Cheng didn't know how to answer. Fighting with officials was a serious crime, not a question of whether he suffered a loss or not.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Bai stood up and said, "I'll go over and have a look."
Then I walked to the back door of the shop, turned around the screen wall, and saw Du Wulang standing on the counter, jumping and screaming.
"Everyone saw it. Yuan Ming was the one who struck first. He testified to me when we arrived at Jingzhao Mansion... Fight back and beat him!"
"Don't worry, beat him. If anything happens, I'll take care of it. I've been to Jingzhao Mansion Prison twice..."
Da Xi Yingying came over to discuss matters today. As soon as she arrived outside the gate, she directly ordered her entourage to help Du Wulang.
In this case, Xue Baisui did not intend to come forward, so as not to cause trouble and make the teacher unhappy again.
"It doesn't matter, just keep doing your work. Should Mr. Jiang apply some medicine on his face?"
"It doesn't matter, little old man, but this... Yuan Zhen is the son-in-law of the Youxiang Mansion."
"Know."
Du Wei heard it funny and glanced at Xue Bai, thinking that the Youxiang Mansion also wanted him to be their son-in-law, but he didn't want to be.
She is still busy. Since leaving through the back door, she has gone to buy a workshop elsewhere.
Although Jiang Cheng knew that Xue Bai was not an ordinary person, he had no specific understanding of the master's background. At this time, he was inevitably uneasy and asked: "Lang Jun, have you stopped asking?"
"Not urgent."
After a while, the guards at the hospital had knocked Yuan Zhen and the others to the ground, and further away, people from the East City Department were coming.
Xue Bai suddenly thought of another thing, changed his mind, and strode forward.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly followed, thinking that Lang Jun had finally intervened to calm the situation.
Yuan Miao was not injured when he fell to the ground. The servants were very measured and just held him down. When he raised his head again, he was surprised.
"Xue Bai?"
Yuan Zhen knew Xue Bai, and he met him as his brother-in-law at Shangyuan Festival in Youxiang Mansion.
So, the little fat guy just now is Du Wulang, who is slightly famous in Chang'an.
"Ha, Xue Bai, if I had told you that this place was your property, I wouldn't have touched it." Yuan Zhen shouted, "That's the end of the matter."
Jiang Cheng finally felt relieved when he saw that his master's status was indeed extraordinary.
The next moment, his eyes widened.
Xue Bai walked up to Yuan Ming, raised his foot and kicked him.
"Ah You……"
Xue Bai kicked him hard, several times, and Yuan Ming screamed in pain.
"Stop! What are you doing? Dare you beat the imperial officials? Capture them all and take them away!"
Officials from the Dongshi Department came and shouted to stop.
Jiang Cheng's heart was lifted again after he had just put it down, and he was escorted to the East City Department in panic.
He was the first to be interrogated.
…
"Sold yourself as a servant? Old Jiangtou, you have been in Dongshi longer than my grandfather. Tell me honestly, what kind of god did you sell yourself to, so that you dare to fight even the son-in-law of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Jiang Cheng clasped his hands in his sleeves again, buried his head very low, and said: "Sir, when I made the contract because I was too humble, the name of the master was not Xue Langjun. I actually don't know who it is."
"I don't know? You're old and confused, aren't you? You think you've lived too long, don't you?!"
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to answer, so he looked up and saw a small official walking around Dong Shi Cheng.
"Sir Cheng, we have found out clearly that Lao Jiangtou sold it to Mrs. Guo's house, and the bookstore is now Mrs. Guo's property."
"Ah this!"
Jiang Cheng saw Dongshi Cheng stand up suddenly and shrunk in fright. The next moment, his hands were pulled over by him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Jiang, my family has been friends with you for more than thirty years, how can you throw such a problem to me? Why don't we have a drink together? Tell me how I should deal with this matter..."
~~
Du Wulang looked at the squad room where he was, it was just a place where they were temporarily guarded.
He glanced behind him and asked in surprise: "Is there a prison inside?"
"Dongshi Prison is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture."
Du Wulang was quite knowledgeable in this aspect and said: "I didn't know this place before. I thought there were only four prisons in Chang'an."
"Who said that? There are twenty-six prisons in Chang'an City, large and small."
"Twenty-six institutes? There are so many?"
It was the first time for Da Xi Yingying to come to the class room, and she looked around curiously. After the Yamen servant and Du Wulang finished chatting and walked out, she couldn't help but ask Xue Bai: "I wonder why Mr. Lang insisted on kicking the son-in-law of You Xiangfu?"
Her question raised a question that Xue Bai didn't want to answer, so he closed his eyes to rest and ignored it.
Da Xi Yingying had no choice but to look at Du Wulang.
Du Wulang knew it, but he couldn't say it. He blushed and was at a loss.
He thought to himself, what other reason could there be for Xue Bai? It was just that he wanted to commit more small things so that he would not look like someone who committed big things.
The person sitting in the squad room of the East City Department and the person imprisoned in the Beiya Prison don't look like the same kind of people.
~~
Beiya prison.
A young man wearing a green official robe handed over his document and said: "Lu Qi, the legal director of Jingzhao Prefecture, was ordered to investigate the murder case at the Chang'an Suburban Post House and would like to ask a few words about the imprisoned Jifang child."
"Retreat! This is Beiya Prison, an unusual official office."
Lu Qi smiled, quietly handed over a small silver collar, and said: "General, please look, I have a document from Taiwan Province. It is indeed urgent official business."
"The witness here is involved in the Daozhengfang murder case. What does it have to do with the suburban posthouse murder case?"
"I found out that the two cases are related and want to confirm it." Lu Qi said: "By the way, my ancestor was the prime minister in the early Kaiyuan Dynasty and the uncle of Yuyang County. My father was a doctor in the Ministry of War, and his last name is Yi.
."
"Okay, Lu Facao please."
Lu Qi crossed his hands and saluted again, and Fang Zhi walked into the Beiya Prison until he reached the cell where Jifang's children were imprisoned.
Four of the six Jifang children died that night, and only two were imprisoned here, and they looked half-dead.
Lu Qi waved them to the fence and said: "I am in charge of this case and can save your lives, as long as you tell me the truth. Are you being bribed?"
"buy?"
Seeing their confused faces, Lu Qi said: "Your companion who stabbed the foreigner from the Western Regions to death is called Liu Yun, right? I have found out that he got a large sum of money that night and hid it in Jifang. Why don't you say anything about him?"
abnormal?"
"right!"
"Yes, it's Liu Yun. I remembered that at that time we had already returned the fighting cock to the chicken house, and Liu Yun insisted on going to Qingmen to drink..."
Lu Qi asked: "Can you think of who bribed Liu Yun? You can only live if you think of it."
"On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, before the cockfight, he was always with us. He was only called away once before nightfall. He seemed to have a gambling debt, right? It was the chicken prodigy who called him away? Yes, it was the chicken prodigy."
"Are you sure it's Jia Chang? Have you seen it?"
"What I shouted at that time was 'Liu Yun, the Magic Chicken Boy lets you pass'."
A faint light flashed in Lu Qi's eyes, and he asked: "Aunt Zhang, the eldest daughter of Zhang in Shangzhu Kingdom, do you know each other?"
"Mrs. Zhang, she often gambles with the chicken prodigy."
"Did you see her at the chicken shop that night?"
"this……"
The cockfighting boys hesitated, nodded tentatively, and then said firmly: "Yes, I saw her!"
Only then did Lu Qi feel satisfied. It was not difficult for him to speculate on this matter, and today's visit could be regarded as "confirming" this speculation.
After leaving Beiya Prison, he drove his horse back to Jingzhao Mansion. When the officials in the government office saw him, they all saluted.
"Lu Facao."
"Is Motodo Cao here?"
