Chapter 1097 Chaos in Yangzhou

Mr. Zhou finally chose his own family, not because he loved his family more, but because he understood that if he didn't tell it, even if he was a civil servant, he would die without a burial place, so he decisively changed Zhai Lanye's position Speak up.

Lu Yi didn't hesitate and was about to leave immediately. He wanted to catch Zhai Lanye as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.

But Wang Yue grabbed Lu Yi and said very seriously, "Let your people take over this place. Everyone in the prison today is not allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to come in."

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Yue's words. After thinking for a moment, he understood what was going on. In this place, 100,000 official silver was easily lost from the warehouse. It can be seen that all the officials and subordinates in Yangzhou Having participated in it, this prison is certainly not safe.

He nodded and quickly made arrangements, but the more he arranged, the more uneasy he became, so he simply stayed and sat in the prison and let Cen Fu go get the person.

The two of them had nothing to do and didn't want to stare at each other, so they started walking around in the prison.

Wang Yue was just out of curiosity. He thought he could visit the ancient prison cells and develop a prison function in the game in the future, so he took a careful look at everything here.

Wang Yue walked around the prison for a while, but the person he arrested hadn't come back yet. He just imagined the code out of thin air, so that he wouldn't have to think about it again when he got out of the game.

During the whole process, except for Lu Yi who spun around in a circle at the beginning, he basically sat motionless in the chair for the rest of the time, as if he had been hit by a body-holding spell.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Cen Fu finally came back with his people. After seeing Lu Yi, he said seriously, "Sir, when we found Miss Zhai, we actually found him with someone from the Qingcheng faction. .”

Lu Yi was stunned for a while, and then said doubtfully, "Miss Zhai? Oh, you're talking about that Lan Ye, right?"

When Wang Yue saw this scene, he couldn't laugh or cry. He thought that Lu Yi had strong concentration, but he didn't expect that he was already wandering in the world.

Cen Fu seemed to have long been accustomed to the situation of adults in this family. He nodded and said seriously, "Yes, that's her!"

Lu Yi realized the seriousness of the problem. This Zhai Lanye was actually related to the Qingcheng Sect. So a large number of Qingcheng Sect's masters came to Yangzhou. Are they not only looking for revenge on the Lin family, but also thinking about the 100,000 taels of silver?

Wang Yue saw Lu Yi's worries and quickly reminded him, "I think the most urgent thing is to interrogate this Zhai Lanye. Whether you can get the evidence depends on your ability."

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows. He didn't know why Wang Yue was so sure, but Cen Fu still signaled to him to go for interrogation quickly.

At this time, there was a noise outside the building door, and soon a Jin Yiwei came to report it.

"Sir, Magistrate Wei's brother-in-law came to demand his release, saying that we captured his concubine."

Lu Yi felt that this case was becoming more and more interesting. He wanted to continue playing with the other party, but thinking that the river embankment was in urgent need of repair, he could not wait any longer.

So, he simply looked at Zhou Xianji in front of him and said with some mockery, "Look, is this the poor guy you are talking about? Isn't the backstage pretty tough?"

Zhou Xian's mind returned to normal now, and he immediately understood that the poor woman was just pretending in front of him.

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Master Lu, I was wrong, please clear my name."

Wang Yue rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "You haven't forgotten that you once misappropriated ten thousand taels of silver, right? Even though you returned it later, you can't hide this fact. You'd better think about how to make meritorious deeds again." .”

Mr. Zhou also understood what was going on, so he quickly said, "Miss Lan Ye and I met while boating on the lake. She said that he was trained by his adoptive father to become a Yangzhou thin horse, just to sell it at a good price. I think he is pitiful, I was ready to redeem him, but that officer Zhai actually asked for 10,000 taels of silver. Even if I sold my family property, I still couldn't get so much money together, so I had no choice but to use official silver."

Lu Yi frowned and found that there was no useful information, so he ordered Cen Fu, "Go and bring that member Zhai over."

Cen Fu immediately took the order and left. He also felt that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, but he didn't have the slightest clue.

Wang Yue looked at the Jinyi guard who was waiting for instructions, and said to Lu Yi, "Master Lu, since Master Wei's brother-in-law likes the prison cell so much, why not invite him to stay here for a few days?"

Lu Yi didn't know what Wang Yue wanted to do, so he frowned and said, "We don't have any evidence. It's useless to arrest him."

Wang Yue shook his head and said very confidently, "In this Yangzhou, the world belongs to Magistrate Wei. Who else but Mr. Wei can take away these 100,000 taels of silver under his nose? Didn't you also say that there are only The footprints of official boots? And there are many officials cooperating with them? "

Lu Yi frowned and said with some confusion, "According to your opinion, there is no need to frame these 100,000 taels of silver for Mr. Zhou, right?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said very firmly, "Since you said that Mr. Zhou was an official with an excellent reputation when he was in Kyoto, he must have blocked the way of some people. It is normal for someone to want to get rid of him. .”

Lu Yi thought for a while and then said seriously, "It seems that there are many officials involved. Maybe Magistrate Wei is also involved. Catching Mr. Wei's brother-in-law can also serve as a warning."

Jin Yiwei doesn't need much evidence to do things. As long as they suspect someone, they can check one.

Therefore, Mr. Wei's brother-in-law came to the door on his own initiative and was quickly invited into the cell.

At first, he was very arrogant because his brother-in-law was the magistrate of Yangzhou. However, when he found that Lu Yi was not like this at all and was still clean and ready to use it on him, he simply resorted to anything. .

It's just that even though he did it, it didn't mean he didn't do it. He just said that Zhai Lanye was his sweetheart. If Zhai Lanye hadn't been unwilling, he would have brought Zhai Lanye into his house as a concubine.

At this point, anyone who is not a fool will know that Zhai Lanye also has a problem. She deliberately approached Mr. Zhou just to get rid of Mr. Zhou.

At the same time, it also proved what Mr. Zhou said, that he only wanted to take away 10,000 taels of silver for the sake of beauty.

…

Soon, Officer Zhai was also brought over. Faced with the menacing Jin Yiwei, he did not need to interrogate him at all, and decisively dealt with all the circumstances.

It turned out that Zhai Lanye had been ransomed a long time ago, but for some unknown reason, she was still living in his home.

Seeing that Jin Yiwei had no intention of letting him go, he quickly told Zhai Lanye all the past events in detail.

Including Zhai Lanye likes singing very much, and her singing skills are better than Yun Zheyue in Chunxi Class.

It's just that this story doesn't help the case, and no one is interested in hearing it. At this point, the matter has reached a deadlock.

Lu Yi decisively reported this situation to the emperor in an urgent manner.

After all, he is just a sword in the emperor's hand, and it is the emperor who can make the final decision.

Wang Yue had no objection to Lu Yi's reaction. After all, notifying the emperor would alleviate a lot of resistance.

…

After Lu Yi sent someone to deliver the letter, Wang Yue said seriously, "Actually, we have another clue that we can continue to pursue."

When Lu Yi heard what Wang Yue said, he thought of the Qingcheng sect. He nodded and said seriously, "It just so happens that the Lin family's big ship is coming soon, so we will use the big ship to entertain the people of the Qingcheng sect."

After the two discussed it, Lu Yi began to arrange it, and Wang Yue was ready to accompany Yuan Jinxia and Yue Lingshan. He felt that being with two women was better than facing Lu Yi.

But before he could leave, news came from the capital that the key clue, Zhai Lanye, was to be escorted to the capital for investigation by people from the Criminal Department.

It's not that the people in the Ministry of Punishment are grabbing the credit, it's just that the 100,000 taels of silver incident has caused such a big fuss that all officials in Yangzhou can't be trusted now, and the emperor is furious.

The Ministry of Justice was actually under a lot of pressure. They even wanted to take down all the officials in Yangzhou for questioning, but they didn't have the courage.

After all, Ming Dynasty's civil service system involved a lot, and you simply don't know how many individuals support an official.

There happened to be a key clue, and they wanted to try it, maybe their interrogation skills would be even better.

Lu Yi looked at the official document in his hand, his face a little uncertain, and he asked in a cold voice, "Brother Wang, do you think those losers in the Criminal Department are really willing to take the initiative to take on this matter?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said very firmly, "It seems that the people behind the scenes value this Zhai Lanye very much, and they want to take the opportunity to save people!"

Lu Yi nodded and said with some embarrassment, "If some martial arts masters come here, they will be rescued if they don't tell me during the escort."

Wang Yue saw Lu Yi was in trouble, so he smiled and said, "I know the art of disguise. We can find a woman to make up to look like Zhai Lanye. Anyone who wants to come to the rescue will definitely be unprepared."

Lu Yi knew that Wang Yue's method was very dangerous. For an ordinary woman to make up herself as Zhai Lanye, her life might be in danger.

He immediately thought of one of the two women beside Wang Yue, Yue Lingshan!

Yue Lingshan is as tall as Zhai Lanye. If they can disguise themselves so much, no one will be able to tell that they are not the same person as long as they remain motionless in the cage.

He said to Wang Yue with some gratitude, "Then I'll trouble Brother Wang."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what was going on. He quickly explained, "Lingshan and I are just ordinary friends, Xia Xia!"

Lu Yi immediately interrupted Wang Yue and said resolutely, "That's not important. What's important is that if we send all our people to see Zhai Lanye, Lin Zhennan will be in danger."

Wang Yue also frowned when he heard this. In the past, he always relied on strength to defeat others and rarely needed to use his brains and strategies. Now he needed to use conspiracy and trickery. He suddenly felt a little inexperienced.

Fortunately, Wang Yue learned a lot of skills. After a little thought, he knew that there were a few moves that could be used in ancient times. He quickly said, "I actually have a little research on Qimen Dunjia."

Lu Yi was thinking hard about how to get the best of both worlds. Suddenly he heard Wang Yue's words and asked in confusion, "Brother Wang, are you kidding?"

Seeing that Lu Yi didn't believe it, Wang Yue said helplessly, "What I said is true. When I was in Wudang Mountain, I followed the master to guard the Scripture Pavilion. Later, I went to the palace and visited the royal study. After seeing a lot of authentic works of Qimen Dunjia, I finally came to some understanding."

Seeing how seriously Wang Yue said it, Lu Yi still didn't believe it, so he asked Wang Yue to demonstrate.

Wang Yue had no choice but to set up a psychedelic array in the garden of Jin Yiwei's residence and asked Lu Yi to send someone to test it.

Lu Yi sent his crony Cen Fu to experiment without hesitation. As a result, he stood on a high rockery and watched Cen Fu spin around in circles many times, but he couldn't get out.

It was only then that he believed Wang Yue's words, and said seriously, "I used to think that Zhuge Liang's Eight Formation Diagram was fake, but now it seems that I have too little knowledge. Brother Wang is indeed a great talent. , you must join our Jinyiwei!"

Wang Yue was dumbfounded. How could a great talent join the Jin Yiwei?

However, he didn't argue with Lu Yi, so he discussed with Lu Yi to see how he could overcome this difficulty at the minimum cost.

…

Because Lu Yi and Lin Zhennan knew each other, he directly told Lin Zhennan the current situation and said that he had a safe location and asked Lin Zhennan and his wife to hide there until they came back.

Although Lin Zhennan was a little reluctant, after all, in his opinion, he had reconciled with the Qingcheng faction.

However, when facing the son of the current commander of the Jin Yiwei, he couldn't say no. After all, the other party was eager to help because he was once a Jin Yiwei.

Therefore, Lin Zhennan took his wife, son and several servants, accompanied by Yuan Jinxia and Yang Chengwan, to live temporarily in a wooden house in the woods outside the city.

When Lin Zhennan saw the simple wooden house, he didn't believe that someone had actually harmed him. After all, it seemed too unsafe for Lu Yi to choose this safe place.

But Lu Yi had not yet realized this. He said very seriously, "Uncle Lin, please wait here until I or Brother Wang come back. No matter what noise is made outside, don't go to check."

When Lin Zhennan saw that Lu Yi was speaking so seriously, he did not refuse, but looked at the tone of his words, and it was obvious that he still disapproved of it.

Wang Yue never tried to persuade him. He felt that with Lin Zhennan's ability, as long as his wife and son didn't hold him back, and he wasn't facing Yu Canghai, he would still have a chance to escape.

And in the illusion array he arranged, it was not that easy to find the hiding person, so there was no need to worry so much.

Lu Yi was still worried, so he left a few Jinyi guards behind to protect Mrs. Lin. He also felt that as long as Mrs. Lin was controlled from wandering around, the Lin family and his son would probably not go very far.

After making arrangements here, Lu Yi began to escort Zhai Lanye to the dock with great fanfare, preparing to take a boat to the north.

Just to prevent others from discovering, when he left the cell, it was really Zhai Lanye, but when he got into the prison car, he changed the person quietly.

Zhai Lanye was also in the team, just riding the carriage in the name of Yue Lingshan.

Other women might not be willing to do this kind of hard work, but Yue Lingshan found it very fun, didn't mind it at all, and seemed a little excited.
