Chapter 342 The truth

Zhao Guangyi asked the patrol envoy to lead more than a dozen people, and also brought the most powerful coroner with him and went with Zhao Pu and others.

"Mr. Prefecture, why has this become my job?" Zhao Pu had originally planned to go, but Zhao Guangyi actually didn't send a civil servant, but only sent military generals and coroners, which obviously made him take the lead in charge. He was a privy envoy and an important official in the Song Dynasty. It felt a bit inappropriate to be called in such a way.

"It's cold and it's not easy to arrange people." Zhao Guangyi found a reason casually, mainly because he felt that it would not bother the second master in one matter, and since Lei Ming was involved, it would be better to let Zhao Pu go this trip.

After a stick of incense, Zhao Pu and Yao Tingzhi walked in front, followed by dozens of soldiers, and coroners carrying tool boxes.

When he arrived in front of Zhuque Gate, Zhao Pu felt a little worried. If these troublemakers really dared to kill, it would be unsafe to take these people by themselves.

He simply took out his Privy Councilor's waist card, showed his identity, and mobilized twenty-five soldiers guarding the city to go out. As for more soldiers, he could not transfer them, so he had to go through the procedures, otherwise it would be like a rebellion.

A team of more than 40 people walked out of the city in the snow and ice.

Zhao Pu and his party had so many people, so they naturally attracted attention. Before they could reach Yao Tingzhi's husband's grave, they were stopped.

"Who are you waiting for? What are you going to the back of my Lujia Village in this snowy and ice?" The leader, with dozens of villagers, stared at Zhao Pu and his party, with his eyes full of vigilance.

"Can you know this?" Zhao Pu pointed to the woman wrapped in a cloak beside him. There must be something strange about this, otherwise it would be cold and cold that would hide at home, with his wife and children on the kang.

"It's you? Why are you doing in Lujia Village? You and Lujia Village have long since been in a state of grudges." The leading man in his forties was startled and then he tried to calm himself down.

"My husband, my husband left so unknown. Why did you clear me out? I came today just for the truth and the justice." Yao Tingzhi looked at Zhao Pu, and finally had the courage. She was so scared that she saw these people before.

"Your husband died of drinking, everyone can see it, right?" Li was turning around and glanced around, and the villagers all said that.

"Dad, dad, what are you doing?" A young man was walking towards this side, stepping on footprints in the snow.

Zhao Pu glanced at this person and asked to take a folding fan in this kind of weather. He really didn't know what it was.

"Son, this crazy woman insists on saying that her husband died inexplicably, she actually asked these adults to make decisions for her." Li was relieved when he saw his son coming.

His son is the one who passed the imperial examination and was about to donate to an official position. Now he is a little surprised and should take office after the New Year. His Lu family finally has an official position.

"The student's surname is Lu, and his name is Yi Dan. I wonder which adult was in front of him? Lord Wei of the Ministry of Rites is a student teacher." When Lu Dan passed the exam, he was the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Wei of the Ministry of Rites, as the main examination. He was in the circle and could naturally call the other party the teacher.

Lu Dan is self-aware, and it is a blessing to have a Juren exam. There is no need to think about this Jinshi. I took the exam once this year, and it was too far away. I simply gave up and prepared to donate to an official, so I came up with what happened next.

"I am surnamed Zhao, and I am the Privy Councilor and the Minister of War. Let's go out of the way!" Zhao Pu didn't know what he meant. It's not enough to be a right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Not to mention a teacher, but a real father?

Although he was scolded by the Ministry of Rites a lot on weekdays, he was in the court and would not quote the scriptures and suffer some losses. If he was outside, any right assistant minister would dare to be rude to him, he would definitely fight back.

I originally thought I could scare the other party, but when I heard about my identity, Lu Dan felt that his legs were shaking. It was actually this big guy, not only his position

He is highly valued and has been highly trusted by the officials.

Zhao Pu waved his hand, and the soldiers stepped forward, drove them away directly, and walked backwards.

"Dad, what should I do?" Lu Dan was panicked. The other party must have to open the coffin in this posture. What should I do?

"What can I do?" Li Zheng also looked helpless. You, a juren, didn't you say that you were foolproof, and how could you cause such a big disaster?

"Follow up and take a look!" After thinking for the rest of my mind, I was really helpless. As for running away, where can I run near Kaifeng? There are patrols everywhere.

When Lu Dan and others arrived, Zhao Pu had already directed people to start digging graves. At this speed, at most two incense sticks, it could be dug.

"Mr. Zhao, although we are civil servants, we are the most important thing for death. It is really disappointing to just dig up my brother's grave like this." Lu Dan wanted to work harder.

"Of course I know how to get buried, but there is a rumor outside that the deceased has great grievances. His widow found Kaifeng Mansion and insisted on finding out what was going on. This was a must." Zhao Pu didn't know what would happen after opening the coffin, so he tried not to talk all over.

"This woman, because we took back the family's property, we are in a grudge. Don't be deceived by him." Lu Dan stared at Yao Tingzhi viciously.

"I heard that the deceased had left the family long ago, and it was too ugly for you to look at it." Zhao Pu was unmoved. It was true that he had no children and it was difficult to inherit the family business. But he could not sweep the house out of the house, and he did it too well.

"Well, it's rumored that this person is not a wife. As soon as his brother passed away, he hooked up with someone and wanted to sell his property and elope with someone. Of course, we can't stand it aside." After all, he turned his eyes and thought of an excuse.

"You fart!" Yao Tingzhi was angry. This was simply nonsense.

Zhao Pu was unmoved and continued to urge the excavation of the grave bags on the ground that had been dug out. Digging some more downwards and then it was the coffin.

"My nephew!"

"You are so miserable!"

"It's not peaceful if you die!"

......

The woman in her twenties ran towards the cold, lying directly on the cemetery, rolling around and doing everything she could. The soldiers who were originally digging had no choice but to put down their tools. If this killed someone, it would be a troublesome thing.

This is a difficult capital official, and it is just that. If it is a remote place, it doesn't matter at all. But if someone dies at the foot of the emperor, he may be impeached by the censor immediately.

"Drag everything down, dare to talk nonsense again, slap your mouth!" Zhao Pu knew that there must be something tricky inside, and he calmed down instead.

Fortunately, there were many people who brought him, so they went forward and dragged them away. As for resistance, they shaved their hands and slaughtered them. If an adult said something, they would do whatever they wanted.

"Where is this juren going?" When a corner of the coffin was exposed, Zhao Pu saw Lu Dan retreating to the crowd and immediately asked.

"Student, go and make some more convenience." Lu Danqiang calmed himself, and he was about to run away. He didn't know how serious the sin was. He was considered familiar with Ruwen, so he naturally knew it.

"You two, come and accompany the juren, and you will never leave." Zhao Pu waved his hand, and the two soldiers walked over, one left and one right, sandwiching Lu Dan in the middle.

If there is really a problem, Lu Dan must be involved. Their conflict is originally the matter of donating an official for Lu Dan.

"From now on, no one can leave without the orders of my official." Zhao Pu scanned everyone and saw the emotions in their eyes. There was nothing to go away.

The coffin had just been buried in the soil for more than a month and naturally would not rot, so the soldiers carried it up.

Seeing the coffin lid open, Yao Tingzhi felt sad and wanted to take a look, but was firmly held by Zhao Pu.

The stench of the array made him want to stay away from it.

The coroner covers his mouth and nose with gauze and wears special gloves, which seem to be made of pig urine blisters, which are very elastic.

"Sir, there are signs of blunt weapon hitting the deceased on the back of his head. I'm sure he died of killing him." After careful examination, the coroner walked up to Zhao Pu and said.

"Take me to see!" This matter is unscrupulous, and it is true to see it.

"Sir, take me to take a look." Yao Tingzhi begged.

Zhao Pu nodded, and the two stood three steps away from the coffin. They used a rope to pass through the corpse and asked the soldiers to pull it up with the rope.

The body was very rotten. Yao Tingzhi couldn't help it after taking a look. She walked aside and kept vomiting.

Zhao Pu couldn't stand it, but he finally held it back and saw a wide crack in the skull. He was definitely unable to survive when he was hit in the back of his head.

"Bring the juren here, get close, take a closer look." Zhao Pu decided to get it done in one step. Originally, the matter should be over now, and it would be enough to throw it to Kaifeng Prefecture to do it, but he couldn't help but think about the addiction to the case.

Two soldiers, one left and one right, each grabbed Lu Dan's arm and dragged it directly to the coffin.

Lu Dan closed his eyes from a distance, but the stench still made him overwhelmed.

"Tie his hands behind his back and use branches to spread his eyes." Zhao Pu felt that this kid should not be difficult to deal with, so he would not have to take it back and use torture, and directly break his psychological defense line.

After a while, Lu Dan was helped to lie on the coffin, staring at the wound on the corpse, unable to move.

"Sir, let me go." Lu Dan screamed loudly, and he even vomited bile.

"As long as you tell me how this happened, I will let them let you go." Zhao Pu nodded. He only had the result and did not want to torture people.

"I, I... don't know." Lu Dan shook his head, couldn't say it, he would be a big sin if he said it.

"It's okay, there are so many people here, and I'll come one by one, and there are always people who speak. Even if you don't speak all of them, Kaifeng Mansion has some means, so you'll be ready to try them all slowly."

"Pull it all over and show it to me one by one!" Zhao Pu waved his hand and he didn't believe it. Most of the people here must have not taken action and would definitely not bear it.

The deceased was just an ordinary person, and was hit by a blunt weapon to death. At most, only two or three people were killed. There were more than twenty people here.

"Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was Mr. Rikazu and Master Juren who did it."

"Sir, it's just what they father and son did. We didn't break the law."

......

These were just after drinking a sip of soup, pointing to Lu Dan as Shangguan, giving some care, and then helping to cover up his movements. Now that the matter is exposed, Zhao Pu is scared and begging for mercy.

It turned out that after worshiping ancestors, Li Zheng and his son asked everyone to raise money. The donation cost a lot, and it was said that it cost 10,000 taels. Li Zheng and his son were originally landlords, and their family could take out more than 3,000 taels. The family helped to raise some, but it was only more than 5,000 taels, and it was still nearly 5,000 taels.

The father and son of Li Zheng put their ideas on the deceased's restaurant. The deceased refused to die and refused to let it go and refused to let it go without so much money.

They forced him to use the deeds of the restaurant to mortgage and borrow money from the bank, and then he would pay it back slowly when he became an official. The deceased refused to give in. Even if he became an official, he would at most be a secondary official like a chief clerk. The promotion was extremely difficult and he could not make much money at all.
