Chapter 218

"Chai Consort, where were you on the day Lu Chengyang was assassinated? What did you do? Is there anyone who can prove it?"

Lu Weimang asked the same question to Chai Consort opposite, and Chai Concubine, who came at noon, seemed to have no backbone, leaning limply on the back of the chair, looking left and right in the yamen, but not looking Opposite him was sitting upright, Lu Weimang who was interrogating him.

On the empty hall of the county government, there were only Lu Weimang, Concubine Chai, and two groups of government servants lined up quietly.

After Lu Weimang's interrogation, silence filled the hall of the county government office.

Chai Fuma didn't seem to hear it, and Lu Weimang didn't repeat it, just quietly looked at the person opposite, the yamen servant looked more solemn in this silence.

"Hey, Lu Weimang, you are amazing."

Concubine Chai suddenly got up and looked at Lu Weimang opposite, "I don't know how Huo Hou can bear such a stubborn style of yours?"

Lu Weimang still didn't speak, just looked at each other.

"Well, on the day that Lu Chengyang was assassinated, I originally wanted to cause some accidents at the gate of the city and cause some troubles for Lu Chengyang, but who knows who did it cruelly and assassinated Lu Chengyang."

Chai Consort said, smacking his lips, as if he was speechless at the harshness of the person behind him, "I know you have found a lot during this time, and you must have known about the fact that I recruited people that day, but you should be able to tell the difference." Come on, I just gathered people to make a fuss at the gate of the city, and it wasn't me who killed me."

Lu Weimang nodded, "A neighbor in the street recognized that there was Chai Fuma's subordinate who was stirring up people's hearts at the gate of the city that day. The atmosphere was so tense that day, and Chai Fuma must have known it when he was there. If the concubine succeeds in inciting that day, I am afraid that the current Hanzhong will not only fail the switch and return to its original shape, but also cause new turmoil and hatred among the Qiang people. The Concubine Chai did not directly attack Lu Chengyang, so this time I will only explain your actions to His Majesty one by one. Your Majesty disposal."

Concubine Chai nodded, "That's how it is, I'm leaving first, and I'm going back to Beijing in a few days, so I won't play with you in this bitter cold place."

Chai Consort got up abruptly, ready to leave.During this trip to Hanzhong, he admitted that he had failed, and he might not only be ridiculed by his cronies when he returned, but even the princess had to be coaxed carefully.

Fortunately, coming here in Hanzhong is not in vain. In the past few days, the banknotes he brought have been exchanged for furs, medicinal materials, spices and glassware, which is enough for him to make a fortune, so that he will not go back to Beijing without explaining to the princess. .

For people like them, it's a big mistake, and it's nothing more than mobilizing family law and restraining their feet to reprimand them.

That's why he has developed a character that is as carefree as a son-in-law of Chai, and he sees everything as nothing more than that.

Lu Weimang knew that the crime of just fanning the flames would not be able to do anything to Chai Fuma, although he almost contributed to the flames and helped the people behind the scenes to cause serious consequences.

"Wait a minute, Chai Consort!"

Lu Weimang handed the record in his hand to Consort Chai, "Please confirm to sign your name."

Lu Weimang's strict demeanor made Chai Fuma helpless, took the pen at the side, stroked it while standing, and handed it to Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang looked at the dog-like handwriting and nodded.

"Can I go?"

Chai Fuma nodded on the table and looked at Lu Weimang.

After Lu Weimang finished his official business, he looked at Chai Consort, who was impatient but different from the previous few days, and suddenly asked, "In Chai Concubine's eyes, who is the most suspicious?"

Concubine Chai was taken aback for a moment, and an evil smile appeared on his face the next moment, "I thought Mr. Lu was rigid, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting. Well, since you asked, I'll tell you, are our sons honorable?" stand to do it.”

Lu Weimang nodded.

Of course she knew.Not to mention anything else, Xungui will rest with the country, so it's better to do a good job for them.Therefore, they will not try their best to renew the war with the Qiang people to satisfy their own self-interest.In other words, not long after the founding of the country, the children of Xungui still have righteousness in their hearts.Just like Huo Jing, he grew up watching the flames of war, Chai Fuma and others have similar experiences to Huo Jing, so their thinking will not deviate very far.

"Maybe there are a few fools who were fooled by others and jumped over the wall in a hurry, so it's hard to say."

Lu Weimang looked at Chai Consort, Chai Concubine paused, "For example, Zuo Mou."

"He has been visibly irritable these past few days, maybe he was frightened by Mr. Lu's name, or he was frightened by the interrogation all over the city, no matter what the reason is, he seems to be very afraid of you, so people are frightened Sometimes, I’m afraid I’ll do something unusual. Of course, I’m not saying this because I want to help you, but because this Zuo Mou follows me every day, and I’m afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Lu Weimang nodded, "A son-in-law is a son-in-law, and Zuo Mou is Zuo Mou. I won't generalize."

"It's good to know!"

After finishing speaking, Concubine Chai walked away, and when he arrived outside the yamen, he once again acted like the boss and his second child.

"It is said that Chai's son-in-law married the princess because of his great luck. In fact, the son-in-law is also a discerning and measured person. Otherwise, the empress would not have chosen him as her husband."

Ding Yi appeared from the back office and stood behind Lu Weimang.

"His speculation is similar to Madam's. I have notified him just now, focusing on monitoring Zuo Mou."

Lu Weimang nodded, "To startle the snakes and lure them out of the hole, our people are getting tighter and tighter, and some people may jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Ma'am, don't worry, the Marquis will arrange it himself to ensure that not a single fly can fly out of Hanzhong!"

Lu Weimang nodded.

From the very beginning when Lu Chengyang was killed, this incident was not a simple struggle for power and interests, but it made Lu Weimang and Huo Jing involuntarily think of that traitor who "fished in troubled waters" in Kyoto.

Reckless, risky, crazy and dangerous.

Lu Weimang thought of what happened when he returned home from the auction in the capital, and couldn't help but rejoice. Fortunately, Cheng Yang's skills have never fallen, otherwise, even if there are many people around him, it would be meaningless now .

Huo Jing also sensed the same aura and method, and became invisible from the moment he entered Hanzhong, Lu Weimang looked outside the yamen, in the dark, there were peepers, and Huo Jing's net was also there.

"Give Zuo Mou an ultimatum, isn't it saying that he is an unstable factor? Then pick him out as soon as possible."

"Here!"

The two yamen servants took Lu Weimang's summons and went out to find Zuo Mou, who was now like a frightened bird.

"Zuo Mou, Lord Lu summoned you, please go there before noon tomorrow, otherwise, as Lord Lu said, the black armored guards will personally escort you there for interrogation."

"I see!"

After Zuo Mou finished speaking calmly, he watched the two yamen servants walk out the door, lying on the desk with limp legs.

"Brother Zuo, don't hesitate anymore. There is no time. Concubine Chai has already returned from the interrogation. You should hurry to find his subordinates and contact Lu Changfeng and the others. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave!"

Ding Jiaming walked out from behind the screen and said gloomyly.

"Got it, I'm going!"

Looking at Zuo Mou's panicked back, Ding Jiaming's expression was hidden in the dark, flickering.
