Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 318 The Incident of Shen Hong's Case

The old eunuch walked very fast, turned around as soon as he finished speaking, and left without the slightest intention of staying.

Lu Zhaoer noticed Lin Ji's surprised expression, and took the initiative to explain: "It should be a matter of Weizhou. After Jian Tiansi won the Tantric School, there were different praises and criticisms in the court. The rewards that should be given have not been given."

"It's been so long, and there is still no statement about the Victorian matter?"

"Some people don't want Jian Tiansi to have a smooth life, and the holy will is unpredictable. The Holy One has never given an explanation."

While speaking, someone came to the door again.

Fang An came to report again.

"Master, the housekeeper of the Lu residence is here."

Lin Ji looked at Lu Zhaoer, who stood up and said, "It should be my grandfather who is back."

Hearing this, Lin Ji also stood up.

"You don't need to see me off." Lu Zhaoer stopped Lin Ji, and said, "When the court tomorrow morning, just ask what you say. Although there are many people who don't like Jian Tiansi nowadays, no one will take it seriously. Make it difficult to supervise the monks of Tiansi."

"I know it in my heart." Lin Ji responded and watched Lu Zhaoer leave.

After Lu Zhaoer left, Lin Ji looked at Fang An at the side again. .

"The person you were looking for was found?"

"I found three of them, a gardener, a cook and a maid."

"What's the maid's name?" Lin Ji remembered what Lu Zhaoer said just now.

"No name, no surname, she said she sold herself to pay off her family's debts, but I bought her because I thought she was pitiful." Fang An said.

Lin Ji understood.

After selling one's body, everything in the past will no longer matter, even the name must be given by the new owner.

"Then call her Xiaohua."

"I'm going to tell her right now."

"Go." Lin Ji waved his hand and sent Fang An away.

He originally thought of someone named Cuihua, but in the future he would say that Cuihua is served with sauerkraut, which would be interesting to think about.

But in the end, forget it, it’s too rustic.

Lu House.

As soon as Lu Guangmu returned to the mansion, he heard that his granddaughter had gone to Lin Ji's mansion.

He frowned slightly, and quickly asked the housekeeper to call him back.

When Lu Zhaoer saw Lu Guangmu, Lu Guangmu had already been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Seeing his granddaughter coming back, Lu Guangmu told all the servants to leave and closed the door again.

"Have you gone to see that boy Lin Ji?"

"Yes, we met in the General Office before, so we should say hello and see each other."

Hearing this, Lu Guangmu sighed softly.

"You just asked for leave yesterday, what are you going to do at the Supervisory Office today?"

Lu Zhaoer bowed her head in silence, and found a place to sit down on her own.

"Why did Grandpa call me back in such a hurry?"

Lu Guangmu got up and left the main seat, and sat beside Lu Zhaoer.

"Girl, what is the relationship between Lin Ji and you?"

"That's the kind of relationship." Lu Zhaoer replied with a little evasive eyes.

"I heard that he is already married in the south, and she is a daughter of the Zhong family."

"It's just a verbal agreement, not yet engaged, let alone formally married."

"So you know."

Lu Zhaoer didn't speak again.

After a long silence, she continued: "His marriage contract is like a child's play. It is said that it is a martial arts contest to recruit relatives. Miss Zhong is a lovely person, but I am not bad."

Hearing this, Lu Guangmu immediately widened his eyes.

"You are my granddaughter Lu Guangmu, why bother to grab a man from others?! Before, I only thought that Lin Ji was an excuse for you to prevaricate, but now it seems that may not be the case."

While speaking, Lu Guangmu's face became more and more ugly.

Lu Zhaoer lowered her head and continued to remain silent.

After a long time, Lu Guangmu let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, you have to be strong-tempered since you were a child, and your father is in the north. I can't control you, and I don't want to control these things. But Lin Ji, whether you really like him, it's just a shield. During this time, Mo to associate with him."

Lu Zhaoer raised her head and looked at her grandfather puzzled.

"Why don't you get in touch with him? Did he offend anyone? Or did he get into some trouble? He is a monk in the sixth realm, what trouble can he find?"

This series of questions made Lu Guangmu's face pale.

But he still said calmly after all: "Girl, do you know who the Holy Majesty rushed to announce to enter the palace just now?"

"Grandpa shouldn't have told me about this." He said so, but Lu Zhao'er looked like he wanted to find out.

"Oh, there's nothing you can't say." Lu Guangmu sneered even more, not taking these things as secrets at all.

"In addition to me, Duke Zhen, right minister Mu Hanfei, left minister Luo Xuanyi, envoy Wu Chengsi, minister of punishment Cui Yan, minister of Dali Temple Yang Ziyu, and imperial governor Wang Ji of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Every time Lu Guangmu uttered a name, Lu Zhaoer was a little shocked.

In fact, these few are the pillars of the court, the real pillars of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Lu Guangmu continued to ask: "Do you know what the Holy Majesty told us to go over?"

Without waiting for Lu Zhaoer to ask, Lu Guangmu said to himself: "The flood in the south, the country's uncle Mu Kai went to Yangzhou to relieve the disaster, and it was found out that Shen Hong, the prefect of Yangzhou, was embezzled by Mokuyin."

"The case itself is nothing complicated, and there may be some tricks in it, but the old man doesn't care about it, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to it. But last night, Shen Hong died in Tongtian Town on the outskirts of Beijing."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoer frowned and raised her head, and said, "The magistrate is a third-rank official, and some people don't want him to come to Beijing."

"Luo Xuanyi said that Mu Kai corrupted the law by corrupting the law and slandered Shen Hong. Mu Hanfei said that Shen Hong offended the monk and was assassinated."

There was a bit of sarcasm in Lu Guangmu's tone, "It's their business that dogs bite dogs, but Lin Ji was also in Tongtian Town last night!"

"Why is he here?"

"I don't know." Lu Guangmu shook his head and said, "He was at the scene when Shen Hong died, and he became the only witness in this case."

"only?"

"As soon as Luo Xuan, who works in the editorial department, doesn't believe it, the assassin who was killed by Lin Ji was found to be Yang Xiaolian, the head of internal affairs, so Yang Xiaolian has an identity in the editorial department."

"Therefore, Lin Ji, who happened to be passing by, became the key to this case."

Having said so much, Lu Zhaoer became more and more puzzled.

"He was just passing by, and made a shot by the way. What's worth interrogating?"

"You still don't understand." Lu Guangmu shook his head slightly.

"People from the editorial department were regarded as assassins, and were beheaded by Lin Ji from the supervising department."

Lu Zhaoer understood now.

"Someone wants to take advantage of it?!"

Lu Guangmu nodded.

"The editorial department and the supervisory department are fighting fiercely. Now that this incident happened, those eunuchs will naturally not let go of this opportunity. Now it's up to them to turn black and white."

"Lin Ji is backed by Fang Yunshan, and he is also a cultivator in the day-traveling realm. He doesn't have to worry about his safety, but this matter is not small. We just need to watch the show."

Lu Zhaoer was deaf to Lu Guangmu's last words.

There is no need to worry about safety, it is just a word of comfort from grandpa.

Although the sixth realm is powerful.

But in this imperial city, it is nothing.
