Chapter 2704: Refusing to Admit

When Mr. Wang educates Fatty Wang every time, he always tells him how poor and barren the first place he went to was. He almost died in the hands of bandits...

Anyway, it was all kinds of hardship. After more than 20 years, he finally became the prefect of Tongzhou. His ultimate goal is to go to Beijing and become an official. He has no illusions about entering the cabinet. He just wants to stay in the officialdom for a few more years to make Fatty Wang more motivated. Since he, as a father, cannot bring honor to the family, he can only put his hopes on his son.

What he meant was, I have suffered for you. You have a much better start now than I did back then. You are still not making progress every day. Who are you trying to piss off?

Fatty Wang used to listen to everything and didn't care much about where his father first became an official. Now when he heard Lu Zheng talking about Langzhou, he remembered what his father had said to scold him.

Originally, he thought that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should have nothing to do with the death of his family. One was stupid and the other was just an ordinary village woman.

But after Lu Zheng asked this question, Fatty Wang began to doubt.

He did not doubt what Lu Zheng said. Whatever Lu Zheng could say was basically verified. He would not say anything he was not sure of or had not checked.

Zhang Liu was completely shocked.

Even the people in the village did not know where her ancestral home was. How did General Lu know about it?

And she could make incense.

Her cooking skills were known to everyone in the village, but no one really knew about making incense.

She was a widowed mother who raised her son, and later she picked up a stupid daughter-in-law.

One of them was sick and the other was stupid. Many people in the village thought their family was unlucky and did not like to enter their house. She did not like to bring people home, so no one knew about it.

Her son needed to take medicine, and the daughter-in-law she picked up was a big eater. She had to leave some money for the two children, so she had to think of ways to make money. She knew that she did not show her skills at all.

When she sold incense, she gave it to someone her husband knew before he died, a person she knew and trusted very well. He also pitied them as an orphan and a widow, so he helped her conceal it and sold the things.

As a result, General Lu, whom she had never met, knew it.

What else did the people present not understand about her expression at this moment?

But no one could connect this case with the woman in front of them. This woman obviously had no kung fu, and it was absolutely impossible for her to enter the temple in the middle of the night and create such a weird murder case and still get away with it.

"So, Zhang Liushi, who is your accomplice?" Lu Zheng asked.

"General Lu, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Even if I can make incense, I can't say that I am a murderer! General Lu and Princess Xinxin are not people who will casually accuse others in the hearts of the people." Zhang Liushi calmed down and refused to admit it.

"Then I have a question for you. More than 20 years ago, when Lord Wang first arrived in Langzhou, he was captured by bandits. Later, Madam Wang led a group of officials to the mountain stronghold and rescued Lord Wang and a village girl. Was that village girl you?" Lu Zheng asked again.

"I am from Langzhou. I was once abducted by bandits and taken to the stronghold. Thanks to the county magistrate at that time, I was rescued. General Lu is right. However, I didn't know that Lord Wang, the prefect of Tongzhou, was the county magistrate at that time." Zhang Liu said.
