Chapter 216 Meeting
"Master Lu Weimang, I have long admired your name!"

Just after the hour, Jia Yuanqing brought the housekeeper to the county government office.

Both Lu Weimang and the yamen servants on duty in Hanzhong felt a little strange.

The subpoena said that the person to be subpoenaed should arrive before noon. Except for the local merchants in the street in Hanzhong, few people would come to the county office so early.

Therefore, when people meet and communicate with each other, timing and manner are very important, and sincerity is also very important.

"Please, Young Master Jia."

Lu Weimang showed a kind smile to the master and servant in front of him, and pointed to the seat on the side of the middle hall of the Yamen to signal to Mr. Jia.

Jia Yuanqing also smiled and sat on the lower left, while Lu Weimang sat across from Jia Yuanqing.

"Young Master Jia, the rest will be simple inquiries, let's begin then!"

Lu Weimang started without talking nonsense, and Jia Yuanqing cooperated without hesitation, but the housekeeper on the side was not very good-looking, as if he felt that Lu Weimang was neglecting his son.

"Twenty days ago, the morning when Lu Chengyang was assassinated, where were you? What did you do? Is there anyone who can testify?"

Jia Yuanqing lowered his head to think, and said slowly, "If it was by the side, I would have forgotten it after [-] days, but that day was the day when Lu Chengyang Lord Lu suddenly switched on and off, so I was deeply impressed. Because of the sudden opening of the gate, I lived in Yue I came to the second floor of the inn facing the street. Through the window, I saw a foreigner I had never seen before, so I got up and wanted to get in touch with him at close range. The time should be at the beginning of the morning, because I rarely got up early that day, so I remembered it very clearly. Later I went straight downstairs and followed the flow of people to the grocery store in the east of the city. Outside the grocery store, I met Brother Zhang San who also came to the grocery store. Not long after that, Master Lu Chengyang was assassinated. In the east of the city, there was a commotion in the city, so I didn’t follow to watch the excitement, but went back to the inn. As for the witnesses, the shopkeeper and the staff of Xianglai inn, as well as Zhang Sange can testify.”

Lu Weimang nodded, "I heard from the Jingdu children who asked recently that Mr. Jia doesn't like to go out, so they were very surprised to see Mr. Jia in Hanzhong. Can you take the liberty to ask Mr. Jia's recent plans? And the city defense department found out , A few days ago, on the second day after I arrived in Hanzhong, some of your servants escorted a batch of goods back to Beijing, may I ask what you escorted?"

The housekeeper was sullen, but Jia Yuanqing still had a relaxed expression, "I don't like to go out in Kyoto. As we all know, it's because there are no interesting people and things in Kyoto recently. The streets are full of juniors, and it's boring to be around. I happened to be in Kyoto recently. I heard that there are Huohou and Mr. Lu in Hanzhong to support the opening and closing, so I came here to join in the fun. I am afraid Mr. Lu does not know that Huohou, the princess and I are the first group of honorable children who came to Beijing. We often go out together Street hunting, because I am young, Huo Hou may not have a deep impression. Now the children of the nobles in Kyoto are playing with Huo Hou and us in the past, so it is naturally boring. As for sending back to Kyoto a few days ago They are just furs, spices and medicinal materials that I purchased in Hanzhong, oh, yes, there is also colored glaze. On the day Lu Chengyang was assassinated, there was a [-]% discount on colored glazed items, so I took the opportunity to buy a lot of colored glazed items! Right now, colored glazed items in Kyoto are Demand exceeds supply!"

Lu Weimang listened with a smile, and cupped his hands, "Thank you Mr. Jia for your support. By the way, are you satisfied with those glazed wares? Hearing from the cleaning guy at Yuelai Inn, he once swept out a fragment of glazed wares from your room. I have been distressed for a long time, so I am deeply impressed.”

When Lu Weimang said this, the housekeeper's face was ugly, and he seemed to be cursing silently, but Jia Yuanqing's expression remained unchanged, "It's just a glass bottle. I accidentally broke it when I was playing with it."

Lu Weimang smiled, put the writing brush in his hand, picked up the recording paper, blew on the ink that was not yet dry, and handed it to Jia Yuanqing in front of him, "Mr. .”

Jia Yuan took the paper from Lu Weimang in a strange way, and saw that the questions and answers were clearly recorded on it, and nodded, "Master Lu is thoughtful and meticulous, Jia admires it."

Lu Weimang didn't say much, he just summoned the yamen servants and handed over a glass bottle, "This is the glass bottle that Mr. Jia accidentally broke, but glass is a treasure, it can't be exactly the same, this one is similar to that one, let's talk about it." Take comfort."

The butler looked solemn, and took the glass bottle. Jia Yuanqing still had a smile on his face, "Lord Lu and Huo Hou are busy these days, so I don't want to disturb you. After Master Lu Chengyang's business is over, Yuanqing will visit the two of you again. The butler has been urging you Let me go to see the scenery of Jincheng, and rumors spread in the middle of the capital, saying that under Master Lu's rule, in less than half a year, it has changed from a remote town to a veritable "Little Jiangnan". Let's open our eyes and experience it."

Lu Weimang nodded, "You are very welcome."

"Master Lu is at his busiest time, so let's take our leave first. Please!"

"Please!"

After finishing speaking, he took the housekeeper and walked outside the yamen.

Lu Weimang sent it to the entrance of the middle hall, and watched the master and servant walking outside the county office.

Ding Yi came out from the back office and walked to Lu Weimang's side.

"Ma'am, Mr. Jia is indifferent but understands his nature. The young master was also very close to this little brother. Looking at it now, the many years of life in the rich and noble nest have not changed Mr. Jia's temperament. He is still so straightforward."

Lu Weimang nodded, "There are people who know people, face but don't know their hearts, but this doesn't apply to these honorable children. They are used to being straightforward and disdain to pretend. Although all the children from Kyoto who have received summons now have Some of them flirted with their cooperation, but from their mouths, we can know who is here to join in the fun, who is plotting, who is frank, and who is covering up."

Ding Yi nodded.

When people are young, they always feel that they can deceive others. In fact, after seeing the world, they know that there is no lie that cannot be exposed.Even the tone, expression, and eyes of the person involved in a deadly unsubstantiated matter can betray the truth.

So Madam's face-to-face interrogation is precisely the most direct way to verify some things.They are all martial arts practitioners, and their five senses are different from ordinary people. The reaction, heartbeat, and expression of each person being interrogated are exposed to them at close range without reservation.

And the madam's last temptation. Take Jia Yuanqing and his housekeeper as an example. When they see another glass bottle similar to their broken glass bottle, they can't help but wonder if they have been under surveillance all the time?Therefore, the housekeeper's dissatisfaction and anger are the most normal reactions. Although Jia Yuanqing looked normal, he still frowned reflexively to express his dissatisfaction.If the master and the servant have ghosts in their hearts, the first reaction immediately is not dissatisfaction, but a guilty conscience, which is manifested in the expression and heartbeat, and there will be flaws.

"Young Master Jia has a straightforward personality, so you can get in touch with him more in the future. But for now, let's get to know about Cheng Yang first. Brother Ding, how many people still haven't asked?"

Ding Yi counted in his mind, "According to the three-party statistical comparison of neighbors, Yaren, and innkeepers, the Jiangnan merchants came the earliest and most complete, and most of the foreign merchants who followed the caravan also came. At present, Chai Fuma and some big ones on the list The merchants have not come yet. Moreover, they have had contact with the people we have interviewed recently, and they seem to want to know the detailed process and questions of our inquiry."

Lu Weimang nodded, "Just follow along, don't stop them from contacting. Interrogation is just a means. Recently, the yamen servants' inquiries in the neighborhood have been dragged from the yamen to the west gate, and there are also reports from the interrogators. The feeling of being monitored, and there are fewer and fewer inquiries lists, under the pressure of the three parties, if you don’t believe him, he will not jump out.”

"The person who assassinated Cheng Yang was very thoughtful. He not only investigated the details of me and Cheng Yang when we were in the countryside in advance, but also made the assassin drink poison before the assassination. Such a meticulous arrangement just exposed the people behind the scenes. Since he is so meticulous, he will naturally pay close attention to our movements, and when the net is getting tighter and tighter and his mind is restless, it is the time when he jumps over the wall in a hurry."

"Brother Ding, the patrols will be stricter these days, and don't let go of any trouble. I have a hunch that he may not be able to sit still. Only fish in muddy waters, he may create chaos and take the opportunity to get out, and Hanzhong is at this time The biggest chaos at the moment, apart from the foreign merchants, is in the caravans, and even, it does not rule out the yamen where we are temporarily living."

"In the past few days, I have informed Changfeng that his goal is too big. I don't worry about it. If he grows mushrooms, he will have to shrink in the house for three days!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Ding Yi took the order and left.
