This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 521 Who leaked the news?

"Haha, you'll know soon."

Lu Yuanzhi sneered and waved his hand: "Take him back to the government office!"

"Yes!"

Li Jin didn't waste any words. He walked forward and pulled and kicked everyone in Huichuntang towards the yamen.

at the same time.

Similar situations occurred in all the pharmacies, big and small, in Beijing.

All the herbal medicine shops in the capital were in a panic.

Not only the pharmacies, but even some doctors were a little confused. Although they had no direct relationship with the pharmacies, when they met patients on weekdays, they would ask the patients to go to these pharmacies to get medicine.

However, their panic had nothing to do with Lu Yuanzhi.

He was currently in Pei Yinlang's prison, watching his men interrogate the captured people.

There are more than a thousand people in the entire capital, including pharmacies of all sizes and various personnel.

These people include shop assistants, apprentices, doctors, pharmacists, shop owners, etc.

The entire imperial prison was filled with wailing.

Pei Yinlang's torture instruments are not something that ordinary people can endure.

Some shop assistants even told the story of how they seduced the boss's wife...

Lu Yuanzhi felt bored listening to it, so he just ignored it.

"Li Jin, if you find anyone suspicious, come find me directly."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Li Jin and said calmly.

Li Jin was already sweating profusely; he was really scared.

When Lu Yuanzhi told him the purpose of arresting people, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Damn, I didn't expect the people in this medicine shop to be so bold that they even dared to harm Mr. Lu's son...

When he thought of this, his scalp went numb.

If I can't figure this out, Mr. Lu will definitely make me lose a lot of skin.

"Don't worry, three days... not two days! If I don't find out the truth, I will bring my head to you!!!"

Li Jin's eyes were red.

Lu Yuanzhi was very kind to him, and Lu Yuanzhi's son being framed was almost the same as his father being framed.

So, in Li Jin's heart, these people are already dead.

The dead can withstand the ravages of any torture instrument.

"Well, keep your mouth shut."

Lu Yuanzhi warned Li Jin.

"Don't worry!! If I say that, you'll turn me into a paste!"

Li Jin is definitely Lu Yuanzhi's most loyal dog.

Talent.

After Lu Yuanzhi nodded, he walked out of the yamen.

"Ji Gong."

After returning home, Lu Yuanzhi saw Ji Xuan leisurely taking his two children to bask in the sun.

Ever since Lord Ji moved into the Duke of Beiguo's Mansion, Ji Xuan has never left the two children's side.

If conditions allowed, Ji Xuan would probably have driven away even the wet nurse.

"came back?"

Ji Xuan slowly raised his head and stopped the palm-leaf fan in his hand. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly and asked:
"Is the matter done?"

"Yes, they have all been arrested and questioned."

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were still cold.

"It's too noisy." Ji Xuan shook his head slowly and sighed:

"But who told them to touch my grandson, Ji Xuan? That's what they should do."

"Yeah." Lu Yuanzhi surprisingly did not mention anything about abusing public power for personal gain.

"Now that things outside are done, we have to hurry up and take care of things at home."

Ji Xuan stretched, turned sideways and reminded Lu Yuanzhi.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, the anger in his heart could not be stopped. He took a deep breath and said:
"Don't worry, I'll do it right away."

Only the servants in the house knew about using medicinal herbs to cleanse the two sons.

And the two wet nurses...

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes became somewhat violent.

Therefore, this news must have come from the mouths of these people.

"Eagle shows."

He called out softly.

"My subordinate is here."

Ying Xian walked out slowly from the dark corner and looked at Lu Yuanzhi with respect.

"Catch all those servants from yesterday and bring them to the main hall to wait for me."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was extremely cold.

"Yes!"

Hearing Lu Yuanzhi's cold tone, even though Ying Xian was a ruthless killer, he couldn't help but shudder.

He knew that the enemy's current actions had touched Mr. Lu's sore spot.

……

When Lu Yuanzhi walked into the main hall, he saw three servants kneeling on the ground and trembling, and two wet nurses standing there, at a loss.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at them indifferently.

"Have you asked?"

"No." Ying Xian answered honestly: "I just captured the servants you had here yesterday."

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slowly, and came to the chair in the main hall and sat down. His eyes were extremely indifferent, and he looked at these people as if he was looking at dead people:
"I was chatting with Mr. Ji yesterday, you were all there, right?"

His voice was soft.

But the tone was emotionless.

Several servants were filled with great fear. Although they didn't know why the master had captured them, they were already frightened out of their wits when they saw the master's appearance.

"master."

Just at this moment, a voice sounded from the door.

Lu Yuanzhi slowly raised his head and looked over.

Chunhua walked in exhausted, and when she saw Lu Yuan, she knelt on the ground:
"It is my fault for not supervising properly. Please punish me, Master."

After saying that, without even looking at the person next to him, he fell to the ground, and blood gushed out in an instant.

“Poor regulation?”

Lu Yuanzhi stared at Chunhua, his voice sharp:
"How did you find out?"

Chunhua slowly raised her head, with no expression on her face. She looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said:

"Although I don't know why the master arrested them, they must have committed a crime. No matter what they committed, it is my fault. The master entrusted them to me, but I didn't take good care of them."

"Humph."

Lu Yuanzhi snorted coldly: "Just stand aside and watch. You will have no say over what I do today!"

"Yes."

Chunhua knelt on the ground without any objection.

"Get up."

"The maid should kneel down." There was no expression on Chunhua's face.

"it is good!"

Lu Yuanzhi simply stopped looking at him and focused his attention on these servants:

"Who left the house yesterday?"

Several servants and two wet nurses looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, someone said, "Master, I have never been out."

"I do not have either."

"I have been in the mansion all the time."

……

Several people gave the same answer.

Never left the house.

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi raised his head sharply and said to Ying Xian:

"Go check which servants in the courtyard they came into contact with after leaving the main hall yesterday."

"Yes!"

Ying Xian stood up without any hesitation and walked outside.

"Bring me everything they have touched." "As you command."

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Ying Xian disappeared directly into the main hall.

"I advise you to think carefully about who you have come into contact with."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at these servants indifferently:
"If someone calls me later, your answers won't match, haha."

His smile was devilish.

Seeing his smile, several servants and wet nurses shuddered.

"I left the main hall yesterday and have been sweeping the courtyard. I haven't even left the master's courtyard. I just chatted with a few familiar servants in the courtyard..."

"The younger one did the same. He went back to the kitchen to get food for grandma and then returned to the courtyard."

……

The two nurses also responded: "We two have been staying in the young mistress's room all the time."

"Ah."

Listening to their confessions, Lu Yuanzhi's mind was slowly sorting out.

He asked the servants in a random manner.

Chunhua mustered up her courage, looked at Lu Yuanzhi in awe and asked, "I wonder what they have done wrong?"

Looking at Chunhua beside him, Lu Yuanzhi sneered:
"What's the matter? Of course it must be a big deal!"

"They teamed up with outsiders to kill my son. Haha, that's great!!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the five of them coldly.

When these words were spoken, not only the five servants were stunned, but even Chunhua felt cold all over.

The two young masters are the apple of the eye of the entire Northern Duke’s Mansion.

Not to mention those slaves, even the current princess Changle is worshipped like an ancestor.

Someone actually had the intention to harm me...

"Master, please punish me!"

Chunhua's hope for luck died immediately. She said with a dull expression, "Chunhua is not doing a good job. I resign and am willing to be sent to the imperial prison for questioning."

"You were not at home yesterday, why should I bother you?"

Lu Yuanzhi gave her a cold look.

"But I, the little maid, cannot escape the blame..."

When Chunhua said this, her body felt a little weak.

Even though she had once had sex with Lu Yuanzhi, that could not change the fact that she was a slave.

"It's none of your business! Hugh is talking!"

Lu Yuanzhi stopped looking at her and his gaze fell on the servants.

"It's unfair! Even if we were given the courage of heaven, we would not dare to harm the young master!"

Several servants immediately began to defend themselves tremblingly.

"If we find out that you are not involved, we will not kill you by mistake. But if we cannot find out..."

Lu Yuanzhi's expression was cold:
“No one can escape!!”

That's why Lu Yuanzhi said this because they were all elderly people who had been living in the mansion.

If it weren't for this relationship, they would have died regardless of whether they did it or not.

The two wet nurses were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

At this time, Ying Xian's voice rang out.

"Mr. Lu, we have brought here a total of seventeen people."

Ying Xian walked in respectfully, followed by a dozen servants.

Looking at these servants, Lu Yuanzhi asked calmly:
"Who among you left the house yesterday?"

The seventeen people looked at each other, and three of them walked out trembling.

"Just you three?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the three of them calmly, then turned his attention to the remaining dozen people and asked:
"Anything else? If you come out now, we can still discuss it. But if you are identified later..."

The power from his body was slowly pressing towards these people.

As a third-grade warrior, even ordinary high-grade warriors could not stand the pressure from his aura, let alone these ordinary people who had no cultivation?

Their faces all turned red, and they knelt on the ground trembling, trying hard to resist this momentum.

"Master, the little wolf went out yesterday!"

A servant couldn't stand the pressure and started to identify a young man.

The young man was pointed out and looked a little dazed. He looked blankly at the old man who pointed him out, then looked up at Lu Yuanzhi and quickly waved his hand to testify.

"Little Wolf?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked indifferently at the young man who was waving his hand.

Although the young man was sweating profusely, he still waved his hands vigorously and mumbled something.

"Master, the little wolf is a mute."

Chunhua pursed her lips and knelt aside and said.

Lu Yuanzhi looked over calmly and asked the mute named Xiaolang:

"You left the house yesterday?"

The little wolf quickly shook his head and gestured as he spoke.

After a while, Chunhua came out and translated:
"He just said that he was supposed to leave the house yesterday, but he was delayed because he had to chop wood. If you don't believe me, you can ask the kitchen boy."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded lightly, then looked towards Ling.

A servant who had just said that he had been to the kitchen yesterday nodded repeatedly:
"I did see the little wolf in the kitchen yesterday."

"Oh."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded, and then asked the three people who had just stepped forward:
"Who did you come into contact with when you left the house yesterday? Who did you say what to?"

The three of them told everything that had happened yesterday, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

Lu Yuanzhi listened and watched their gazes.

"Have any of you come into contact with these three people?"

Lu Yuanzhi directly asked the three servants who were kneeling in the main hall with the two wet nurses.

Only one of the three servants stood up:

"I...I have come into contact with the three of them..."

“You’ve come into contact with all three of them??”

Lu Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the servant who stepped forward. His voice was filled with murderous intent:
"you sure?"

"Yes...sure...but I didn't say anything, I just explained some daily life..."

The servant was already sweating profusely.

"Then let me ask you, have you ever heard him talk about any medicinal herbs?"

Lu Yuanzhi turned around and looked at the three of them.

One of the three men suddenly paused, and the expression on his face became extremely unnatural.

Seeing the man's strange behavior, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were extremely sharp:
"explain!!"

"When Zhao Da came to see me yesterday, he did say that the master wanted to buy some herbs for the young master..."

The servant swallowed and said:

“I didn’t quite understand it either.”

"And then? Who did you tell about this when you went out?"

Lu Yuanzhi was now almost 100% certain that it was this servant who leaked the news! !
Being questioned by Lu Yuanzhi, the servant's speech became unclear and he stumbled:
"When I went out to buy groceries, I had a few words with Liu the Beggar on the street..."

"killed!"

Lu Yuanzhi didn't hesitate and looked directly at Ying Xian.

Ying Xian's body subconsciously walked towards the servant, and it even became a conditioned reflex.

"puff!!"

The servant fell directly to the ground.

Ying Xian slowly pulled out his hand, holding a strong heart in it.

"what!!!"

The two wet nurses fainted on the spot out of fright.

The remaining slaves were not in a much better condition. They knelt on the ground trembling, and some even buried their heads in the floor.

Even though Chunhua's face was pale, she still looked at the heart in Yingxian's hand stubbornly and refused to lower her head.

"Who did that beggar Liu contact? Who did he talk to yesterday? Go check. I want to know all the information before dark."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Ying Xian coldly.

"Yes!!"

Ying Xianlian didn't even dare to turn his head. As he walked past the door, he threw the heart to the dog in the yard and disappeared into the mansion.

"Find the people here and take them all to the woodshed. Don't let them out until the truth is revealed!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Chunhua indifferently.

Chunhua took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sir."
