Lu Zhiqian said: "My subordinates sent people to the Dark Law Department to inquire about the news. I heard that two of the three people over there could not withstand the torture of the Dark Law Department, and two were killed, and one was dying."
"The Dark Law Division is indeed vicious in its methods." Lu Yi said calmly, "But sometimes it's not that the more vicious the person, the more scary it is."
"Our side..."
"Okay." Lu Yi said, "Where is Xia Kun? Let him come here."
"yes."
Officials from Dali Temple were dispatched, and the people around them fled for fear of not being able to hide in time and getting into big trouble.
"Is that Mr. Lu?" Someone said, "Why did he go out personally?"
"On the day the Lu family held a banquet, a few people who were not afraid of death went to his house to assassinate him, and finally fell into the hands of Dali Temple and the Department of Anfa. Looking at such a big move by Dali Temple, I am afraid that something will be revealed in the trial."
"The Dark Law Department didn't try it out first."
"When I fell into the hands of the Dark Law Division, I was so frightened that I might as well die."
"Dali Temple also has a lot of tricks. Ever since Mr. Lu came to power... hush, come here, hurry up, hurry up..."
Half an hour later, a gambling shop in the capital was raided.
The officers and soldiers of Dali Temple escorted everyone inside, including the gamblers who were gambling inside.
The street was surrounded by many people watching the show.
"Isn't that Wang San? Why was he also arrested?"
"Something happened in that gambling house, and everyone inside was arrested."
"Wang San is just a scoundrel, and he hasn't done anything heinous or bad!"
"Whether you have done bad things or not is up to you. The adults of Dali Temple have the final say. I'm afraid Wang San will fall into trouble this time and be finished."
Lu Yi listened to Xia Kun's report in the case room of Dali Temple and said: "We must investigate their household registration documents clearly. If it is inconvenient, I will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs in person to tell them."
"No need for that." Xia Kun said, "Second Master can handle this matter."
Two hours later, Lu Xuan came to the door.
Lu Yi saw him and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Xia Kun came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to check the household registration documents. I helped him look through it and accidentally found an acquaintance. I thought that my eldest brother might not know about it yet, so I came here to talk to you."
"who?"
"Chen Huzhong." Lu Xuan said, "Brother, do you still remember this person?"
"Chen Huzhong..." Lu Yi pondered, "I seem to remember. When my father and mother were doing business, he was the biggest customer. They often communicated with each other and even came to our house for drinks several times."
"The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother, he has a good memory." Lu Xuan said, "That's him. I didn't remember it at first, but when I saw his household registration document, I found that he was from Hubei City like us. Then I looked at his information again and found that
He was in the cloth business, so I remembered him."
"Then you should know who we are arresting this time."
"I know." Lu Xuan said, "That man is actually the owner of the gambling house. Brother, do you think he knows the cause of our parents' death?"
Lu Yi said: "Don't worry, I will investigate clearly."
"Is it okay if I want to sit in?" Lu Xuan said, "Don't worry, I won't let him see me."
"good."
Dali Temple Prison.
Hundreds of people were imprisoned, and the entire Dali Temple prison was packed. There were curses, cries of injustice, begging for mercy, and cries everywhere...
"I just made a few bets. I didn't commit any serious crime. Why should I be arrested? I was wrong. I will never gamble again."
"My wife is sick, and I want to win two to earn some money for medicine. How could I encounter such an unlucky thing? Oh my God, do you have eyes? You didn't catch her yesterday, you won't catch her tomorrow, but you caught her today..."
The officers and soldiers patted the iron fence with their knives: "Why are you arguing? Stop arguing. If you argue again, come and taste the barbecue."
Several more officers and soldiers came in. These officers and soldiers were dressed differently from the jailers guarding the prison.
"Brother Wang, you are here."
The official named Wang said: "Your Excellency has a new order."
The jailer present knelt down and said, "Please give me your orders."
Wang Guancha took out a booklet and said, "Now those who have been called will come forward."
Then came a long list of names.
Every time a name is called, someone comes out of the crowd.
Before long, more than seventy people were called by name.
"These people went out with our people."
"Sir, we just made a few bets. It's not a big crime, right? What are you trying to do to us?"
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to go?" Wang Guancha said impatiently.
"Let's go."
After more than seventy people left, about forty people remained.
It was crowded just now, but now it was mostly empty, and it suddenly felt much quieter.
The remaining forty or so people suddenly stopped talking.
Wang Guancha said: "The next person selected will come forward."
"Wang Shulin..."
Every time someone was called, someone came out, and then an official took him away.
"Chen Huzhong." Wang Guancha looked at the crowd.
A tall, thin man came out.
Wang Guancha pointed out a government official and asked him to take Chen Huzhong away.
Chen Huzhong followed the official mission out of the prison.
He lowered his head, not daring to look around. However, if you look carefully, you will find that he is peeking secretly. He already knows everything here.
"Chen Huzhong, a native of Hubei City..." Jia Chengping read while holding a booklet, "After our investigation, we found that you colluded with the thieves, and your gambling house was the place where they communicated. Is this the case?"
"Sir, I am unjust. I am just a small businessman. I don't know anything about rebels!" Chen Huzhong knelt on the ground in panic.
"Really?" Jia Chengping continued to read about what Chen Huzhong had done over the years.
"Three years ago, you killed a man."
"grown ups……"
"Who helped you settle it?"
"Sir, there is no small one, small one..."
"Okay, you can't tell me now, so let's try the torture in our Dali Temple first." Jia Chengping looked at him sharply, "Someone, come and torture him."
Lu Yi and Lu Xuan were sitting in the back.
Next door is the place where Chen Huzhong was executed.
The screams coming from next door became more and more miserable, but the two of them drank tea and looked relaxed as if nothing was wrong.
"How was the errand at the household department?"
"Not bad." Lu Xuan said, "You can't let your eldest brother get promoted alone, right? If nothing else happens, there will be good news about me in a while."
"Isn't it time to think about life-long matters?" Lu Yi looked at him, "You are not young anymore. If you continue like this, you may be regarded as having a physical problem."
Lu Xuan was silent for a moment: "I'll think about it again."
"One month." Lu Yi said, "If you have no idea, I will help you arrange it."
"Brother..." Lu Xuan said helplessly, "Not everyone is as blessed as you."
"So, I'll give you a month." Lu Yi said, "You have enough time to think about it."
