Chapter 184: The Conscience of Thieves

The hall suddenly exploded!

Prime Minister Zhao frowned, his old face was so tense that he almost flattened his folds. His voice was a little sharp, "What is the King of Chu saying? Why are some people massacred the entire family of the Lu family? Then the case of Wan Magistrate Wan has closed. Is the case of the Lu family in Chuzhou caused by local bandits?"

"There is also a gold medal that avoids death. The gold medal is consistent with the teeth marks mentioned by the Empress Dowager. How can we talk about falsehood?"

Now Chi Shi became more and more sure that Zhao Cheng, the same brothers as Zhou, were definitely cooperating.

The person who was buzzing by Zhou Xian's words had not had time to clarify his ideas, Prime Minister Zhao had already said what his opponent wanted to say one by one, and thoroughly grasped the rhythm of the drama.

The black bird feather fan in Zhou Xian's hand shook happily, and occasionally a piece of feather floated out.

"It means literally. The Lu family's death case was not done by the bandits in Chuzhou, but someone assigned a killer to go there. Every sentence of Lord Wan is a lie, and the gold medal of ignorance was not bought by a merchant named Cao, but was already in the hands of the Lu family."

"Those people were trying to murder the imperial court's official for this dead object and killed Lord Lu's family of twenty-three."

The Empress Dowager was also full of horror. She held Zhou Tao's hand tightly, and the child suddenly cried in fear, "My mother! Mother! Mother! I hurt so much!"

Chi Shi looked at it and frowned slightly. Although the Empress Dowager was old, she had nothing to do every day. She could reach out to her hands and open her mouth. Her nails were long and pointed, and she would pinch the child with force.

As soon as the Empress Dowager let go, the old nanny next to him hurriedly led Zhou Tao to the side and sat down, took the fruit and coaxed him, and then stopped crying.

She looked at Empress Dowager Zhang angrily, quickly calmed down, and looked at Zhou Xian, "Xian'er is the most clear-cut seal. This is the most important thing to understand. The investigation of the case requires evidence. Twenty-three lives are not a joke, so don't say it lightly."

Zhou Xian blinked at the Empress Dowager, "Of course there is evidence."

As he said, his smile stopped, and his aura changed instantly, "Take Lu Hui, the orphan of Lu family."

While speaking, the young eunuch Yang Zhuo, who had previously led Chi Shi, led Lu Hui over again.

Lu Hui changed into a clean white dress and only wore a silver hairpin on her head. She looked like a filial piety person. "My father could never have been killed by a bandit, because he had saved his life to the bandit leader Yahu."

"My father is an official, and Yahu is a thief. This matter is not something that can be put on the table. At that time, when we returned to Chuzhou from the capital, we passed by Shangang, we were blocked by Yahu and his subordinates."

"We were all scared at that time, but after Na Yahu said that, he stayed to buy Lucai, and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and fainted. My father had seen this disease when he was an official in the local area and knew what to do. He saved Na Yahu's life and gave him money, asking someone to send him to see the doctor."

"Although Yahu is a bandit, she is also grateful for her father's life-saving grace. After he was very happy, about the beginning of the New Year, in the middle of the night, he quietly came to my father and gave me a piece of iron. He said that in Chuzhou, if he encounters Xiao Xiao, he will take out the piece of iron and report his name."

Lu Hui said, tears streaming down her face. She pulled the red rope on her neck and pulled out an iron piece about the size of an egg. The word Yahu was engraved on it. The word was very clumsy, like a person who had just learned the word.

There are a few smaller words engraved behind the iron sheet. It is too far away to see clearly. Chi Shi can only vaguely estimate that it is about the words written about Yahu owes Lu a life on a certain year, month and day.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the officials from Chuzhou in the court. They know that this is Yahu's order. My father saved him, and then the Qin Langzhong of the clinic in the town is a witness."

Zhou Xian listened and nodded, "I didn't see this in the file. Why didn't you tell Wan Xu, the magistrate of Chuzhou at that time?"

Lu Hui sneered, "I told Wan Xu. At that time, my family was slaughtered, from my 80-year-old great-grandmother to my infant younger brother, I was the only one living in the Lu family. In this world, no one can avenge them except me."

"So I told Chuzhou magistrate Wan Xu that my family was definitely not killed by Yahu. But just one hour after I finished speaking, Wanzhou led his troops to kill all the thieves and closed the case!"

Chi Shi listened and thoughtful.

Lu Hui is indeed a bit smarter to her name. Seeing that she still has the iron piece of evidence, it can be seen that the whole family was slaughtered at that time, and she did not lose her mind and was also very vigilant to the people around her. Like the magistrate of Chuzhou, she only said life-saving matters, but did not mention the iron piece of the word.

After the case was settled, she realized that there was something wrong with it and became increasingly unbelievable to anyone. Therefore, she did not allow Wang Dawang of the Chu Palace to open the coffin and examine the autopsy again, but secretly entrusts her father's friend Chi Ping.

Unfortunately, Chi Ping was not capable enough, so the matter was left unresolved.

As soon as Lu Hui said this, it was undoubtedly a heavy hammer. Wan Zhao, who was awarded the gold medal for avoiding death, immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, just a broken iron piece that I don't know where, the Yahu has died without evidence. The little girl in the Lu family suffered a great disaster and was suspicious of anything, which is understandable."

"However, this is above the main hall, and you cannot play like this in front of your Majesty. If she told Chuzhou magistrate Wan Xu about this, there would be no records in the file. Then there are three possibilities."

"Or it was after Wan Xu confirmed that Lu's orphan was lying, and there was no such thing at all. For protection, he did not record this incident in it, so as not to be guilty of lying; or even though this incident exists, the thief is all the ones who want money and live."

"Ms. Lu came from a great man and naturally believed in his promise. But what are those thieves? They licked blood from the knife, and the Lu family revealed their wealth. It is not impossible for them to forget their righteousness when they see money! Could it be that we should rely all on the conscience of the bandits for the direction of a case?"

"If they had something like conscience, they would not have killed everyone, and they were all beheaded with one knife! Since the bandits were the murderers, there was no need for Wan Xu to write this paragraph into the file to avoid tainting Lord Lu's official voice."

"I was caught by that person who is interested, and even said that he was involved with the bandits. Such suspicion will only make people feel cold!"

Chi Shi listened and looked at Zhou Xian with great interest.

This Wan Zhao has two tricks, not a fool. Indeed, even if Lu Hui said it is true, the iron card is true. But so what? The speculation that Yahu would not kill the Lu family is based on the bandits' love and righteous commitment.

How can bandits win trust from others?

Sure enough, the people in the hall started to talk again.

Zhou Xian felt Chi Shi's gaze, nodded slightly at her, and then clapped her arms, "It turns out that the person who is kneeling here is Lord Wan Zhaowan. I heard you speak so confidently, as if you have experienced it yourself, and I thought you were the magistrate of Chuzhou Wanxu."
