After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 399 Murder and Silence

The Feng family was taken back by Jingzhao Mansion.

With such a clear punishment from heaven like Tianlei, even if the Feng family wanted to defend themselves, they would not be able to do so.

The governor of Jingzhao felt that he had never handled such a simple case before. When Xiao He and Feng Sheng were struck by lightning, they saw too many people, and these people were all clear witnesses.

The governor of Jingzhao had received a warning from the emperor early in the morning, and he needed to handle the Gu family's case with all his heart. He could not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go. At this time, his scaffold was shot, and the threat of torture and extortion of confessions was still there. , Xiao He was so panicked that he lost his mind.

It didn't take long for Xiao He to know the truth clearly.

Feng Sheng was more knowledgeable than the housewife, so he wanted to deny it, but Xiao He was recruited too quickly and cleanly. He had no time to collect all the evidence. After the officials checked one by one, Feng Sheng and Xiao He conspired. The matter of murder is a certainty.

"Fortunately, this man is still an official. He even wants to poison his own useless wife to death. He is really evil!"

"The He family gave birth to daughters one after another, and he was not allowed to take concubines, so he hooked up with his sister-in-law. This sister-in-law was not a thing. Her sister was kind enough to take her in, but she turned around and poisoned her sister to death with her brother-in-law."

The nature of the Feng family's case was so bad. Feng Sheng was a court official, but he knew the law and broke the law. After the Jingzhao governor reported it to the emperor, the emperor personally ordered that Feng Sheng and Xiao He be hanged.

When the incident was exposed, Feng Sheng was already prepared to be exiled thousands of miles away. Although he killed his wife, because of his status as an official, he felt that the court would probably be lenient. Who would have thought that because it involved the Gu family and because he was in the capital? If the commotion was too big, the emperor would punish him severely.

"Sir! I still have something to say! I want to report it to Your Majesty!" When Feng Sheng thought that his life was gone, he still had many worries. He wished he could shake everything he knew out of his hands.

As for his family? Feng Sheng only has his mother and four daughters. In his eyes, these people are not as important as his own life. The people behind the scenes will be harmed, and he will survive anyway.

The governor of Jingzhao did not expect Feng Sheng to suddenly make such a fuss.

"Feng Sheng, what else do you have to confess?" Jingzhao Prefect asked.

Feng Sheng looked at the bustling crowd at the entrance of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. He originally wanted to talk in private, but now he thought of simply taking advantage of the crowd to make the matter clear so that the people behind the scenes would not dare to touch him.

He said loudly: "Although I collaborated with the Little He family to murder the Big He family, I was also ordered by others! Someone wants me to frame the Gu family and cause trouble to the Gu family!"

The governor of Jingzhao had met with the emperor a few days ago. He knew better than anyone that the emperor was asking him to do business on the surface, but in fact the emperor was obviously biased towards the Gu family.

Now that the Gu family was involved, he couldn't help but be careless.

No one expected that the case that had been decided would suddenly stir up trouble again. The governor of Jingzhao immediately said: "Who is instigating you behind the scenes? Hurry up and get the truth!"

Among the noisy crowd outside the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, there was a short, ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was holding a bag of candy in his hand. He was eating it with relish, but he quietly squeezed out of the crowd.

The people who crowded to watch the excitement didn't care at all that someone left. Although they took a second look at the man because he was limping, they were even more happy that there was another empty seat.

"My master, Lord Lu Longlu!" Feng Sheng said loudly.

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin felt that his head was getting bigger, and another court official was involved. Obviously, this matter was not suitable for ordinary people to hear. He quickly ordered the officials on the side to close the Yamen gate.

The noisy common people at the yamen gate were immediately dissatisfied: "What can't we see? Why should we close the door?" However, with such noise, they only dared to mingle with the crowd and speak because of the large number of people. The officials came over waving sticks. , a group of people immediately retreated faster than anyone else.

The governor of Jingzhao looked at Gu Mingda who was waiting on the side, and said in a soothing tone: "Master Gu, I will ask Master Lu Long to come over for questioning first. Please be patient."

Gu Mingda cupped his hands and said: "My lord is doing things, and I am naturally very relieved. However, I don't know where I offended Lord Lu Longlu. I am afraid that there is someone hiding behind him, in order to prevent him from being killed." Silence, sir, please invite a few more people."

At the same time, in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Long was immersed in official duties. He heard other subordinates discussing that Feng Sheng was struck by lightning and that he had killed his wife.

"Who would have thought that Feng Sheng looks like a human being, but secretly he is such a wretched person."

"Just because his wife can't give birth to a child, it's okay for him to take his sister-in-law as a concubine. Why would he go to the step of killing his wife? If his mother-in-law really doesn't want to, he should show up as a man so that she can know. Who is in charge of the family?"

Lu Long felt very bored listening to these words. He always felt that these words seemed to be scolding him one after another. Now he just hoped that Feng Sheng would tighten his mouth and not involve him.

"Master Lu, there is someone looking for you outside the door. It's a child. He said something happened at your home." A young official suddenly came to report.

When Lu Long heard this, he didn't think much. He walked outside the Ministry of Industry Yamen. He didn't see any children. Instead, he saw a familiar figure standing on the street corner from a distance.

After getting closer, he saw that the man seemed to be chewing something in his mouth. Lu Long was secretly amazed that Mr. Wu was eating Baiweifang candy almost every time they met.

"Mr. Wu, why are you here? What do you want to tell me?" Lu Long asked with his hands raised.

It's not that he wants to be polite to this person who has no official rank, but the person behind this person is also the person who promoted him to his current position.

The man he called Mr. Fifth nodded casually and said, "My lord, I have something to tell you. It's not convenient to say it here. You come with me."

Lu Long immediately followed the limping little man into a small alley near the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

When the officials from Jingzhao Mansion arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, they received the news that Lu Long had just left.

"He said that his family members were looking for him, so he went out. It took him about as long as he had a stick of incense."

"Master Lu has always been obsessed with official business. Even if he really wants to go home, he has to ask for leave from the adults above. He rarely runs around by himself. This is really strange."

The official was still questioning the low-level officials of the Ministry of Works, when suddenly there was an exclamation outside the yamen of the Ministry of Works.

"It's dead! It's dead!"

Hearing such a sound, everyone immediately squeezed out.

"Wearing official robes, the person who died was an official! He was an adult from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry. I have seen him before!"

The official followed the shouting crowd to a small alley not far from the Ministry of Works Yamen.

This is a dead end. Lu Long, who is wearing official robes, is lying at the end of the alley. His whole body is lying in a pool of blood. There is a wound on his neck. At this time, his eyes are wide open, and he is completely in a state of death.
