242 I want to give up
"Your Highness wants to go to the court now?" Li Xian almost suspected that he had heard it wrong. Which government office would go to the court to interrogate the prisoner at night.
Shao Yan lowered his eyes and brushed his sleeve casually, "Do you want to say it again?"
"But……"
"But what? Just go to the hall, don't give the orc a look of being punished!" King Yu's tone was obviously displeased.
Li Xian hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's not that the lower-ranking official intentionally shirks, but that the suspect is dead."
"You said you were dead?"
"The lower official dared not hide anything from His Highness. On the day the house caught fire, the lower official had already found Fu Cui, the owner of the house and escorted him to the government office with the others. He never thought that the person would die on the third day."
"Gu has heard of this. Didn't Fu Cui be outside all night? Why did you catch her together?"
"When the officials interrogated her maid Luzhu, they saw that she was hesitant and hesitant to speak, and they were inverted, and they suspected that she might have told lies. Sure enough, when searching the house, they found sneaky Fucui in the courtyard behind the house."
Shao Yan listened and asked, "How did she die?"
"I hit the wall and died of blood. When I found out, I was already exhausted. Luzhu, who was locked up with her, said that Fu Cui was very famous and was arrested in prison. She would not have the shame to see anyone in the future. She just wanted to choose to die."
Excellent fame? More than ten years ago, Fucui, the top brand in Sihuai Tower, would care about fame? It's ridiculous.
Li Xian's tone was very normal, and nothing seemed wrong. I guess Fu Cui's true identity had not been found yet, and someone secretly covered her up.
"Since everyone has been arrested and detained for three days, what have you asked?"
"This... is because the old official is incompetent. The woman bit her mouth tightly and insisted that she had just returned from outside and that the fire had nothing to do with her."
Shen Biyue raised her eyes and looked at the man's back, lowered her head, covering her thoughtful emotions.
The ghost handed person was poisoned, and Zhang Cheng's outer room was involved in the fire case in Changyifang. Now both cases are in the hands of Jingzhao Mansion. The poisoned case was destroyed and not completely handed over to the hands of the proprietor. It is very easy to intervene in the middle.
"So she died without saying anything?"
"Yes." Li Xian lowered his head, feeling very ashamed.
"Okay, very good." Shao Yan smiled, "Send Luzhu to come."
"Then your highness wants to go to the court again?" Li Xian asked tentatively.
"Is this matter big or small? Lord Li, I will ask you, do you want to break the case of arson in Changyifang?"
"The officials of the government will naturally break it. We must never let the fireman destroy the people's homes..."
"Okay, Gu hates listening to these high-sounding words the most." Shao Yan waved his hand impatiently at him, "When I come out in a room, Gu wants to meet that green bead in person."
A trace of ominous premonition suddenly flashed in Li Xian's heart. This case is no better than the previous one. His Majesty is working inside. King Yu wants to intervene, and no one can stop him. It's just that Luzhu. No matter how deeply she is involved in this case, it will be considered a big bad luck to fall into King Yu's hands.
"Your Highness, one of the suspects has died. Please be gentler, at least leave her alone."
It was a big thanks to his plead for mercy on behalf of the suspect, the priest who claimed to be his parents, who could speak out. Shao Yan glanced at him coldly and walked away.
In any case, in his hands, there is never a difference between a living person and a dead person. It is only divided into guilt and innocence.
Luzhu was quickly taken to a room, and the yamen runner pushed her in rudely, then slammed the door.
The room was very quiet, with a candle on the table, which jumped lightly, vaguely illuminating a figure sitting behind.
"You're the Green Bead?"
"Who are you?" Silence, candlelight, a low, almost cold voice, and a figure who couldn't see clearly made her heart suddenly raise her throat, a little uneasy and a little panic.
"Mr. Li?"
"You killed Fucui." It's not a question, but a certainty.
"I don't!"
"You? Are you a commoner, but you are still guilty and dare to call the same name as the ordinary people?" You can't see people clearly, but the oppression brought by the voice is enough to make people scare.
Luzhu bit her lip and felt more and more unsure. She must be a big shot in front of her, or a big shot who is even better than the prefect Li Xian.
"Sir, the young lady did not kill anyone. She hit the wall by herself. She was determined to die..."
"Is Fucui really your master?"
Suddenly interrupted, Luzhu stopped for a while before asking, "What does this mean by sir?"
"I kept shouting to Master Fu Cui, is she really your master?"
"The young woman is loyal to her master..."
"Okay, I don't want to reveal your true feelings. If you don't ask me, you'd better be able to speak honestly so as not to suffer."
After listening to her heartfelt expressions to the dead Fucui, Shao Yan was a little impatient.
Gu, this self-proclaimed, only one person in Daning can use it.
Luzhu's face suddenly turned pale, "You... are Your Highness King Yu?"
"If His Highness Yu is here, do you still have to struggle?" A gentle female voice came, which scared Luzhu very much.
I took a closer look at the candlelight and then I found that there was another person standing behind the figure.
"Luzhu, you should have heard of His Highness's name. What methods does His Highness use to punish those who refuse to admit their mistakes? I think you shouldn't want to know."
"Friendly girl..." Luzhu felt her whole body stiff, and even the words she said were extremely stiff. "Friendly girl is not guilty, how should she admit it?"
"You said you are not guilty?" Shao Yan smiled softly, his smile was so cold that it made people feel a little chilled.
The person standing by the table moved. He walked step by step from behind the candlelight. Luzhu subconsciously stepped back step by step. He was carrying the candlelight and could not see the other person's appearance at all. The candlelight hit her cheek, and she could vaguely see that her skin was delicate and smooth.
"But I don't believe it."
"Did you hear it? Your Highness said he doesn't believe it." Although he was dressed as a servant, he had a woman's figure and voice. Luzhu swallowed his saliva suddenly and asked tremblingly: "What do you want to do?"
The woman chuckled, suddenly reached out and grabbed Luzhu and pulled forward hard.
Luzhu didn't stand firmly and was pulled to the ground all of a sudden. Before she could stand up, she felt a severe pain on her back. A pair of rough cloth shoes were crushed on the back of her hand and rubbed slowly.
Luzhu was so painful that she was sweating.
"You ask me what I'm going to do? Of course I'm going to be a slander."
"I haven't even asked yet, what are you doing in such a hurry?" King Yu's voice was obviously unhappy.
"Didn't you see it? It's late, I want to go back to bed."
The woman lowered her head gently, "It doesn't matter whether you kill Fucui or not. As long as you answer your highness well, your highness will naturally spare your life."
"The young woman, the young woman is just a servant. What does your Highness want to ask? If the young woman knows, she will definitely tell everything."
The severe pain on the back of her hand was relieved a little. She was about to retract her hand, but the woman seemed to notice her intention. She pressed her hand tightly with force. Luzhu blew in pain and had to give up.
"Do you know Fu Cui's identity?"
"The young girl only knows that her master was once in a state of disrespect and was later taken aback by a noble man, so she gave her the house in Changyifang, allowing her to live there with peace of mind."
"Who is that noble man?"
"This, the young lady has never seen it before, I don't know."
"If you don't know a noble person, then you should know your official?
"What official? A civilian girl is just a servant who is dedicated to serving her master. How can she be qualified to talk about marriage..." She said, and a severe pain like a tear on the back of her hand.
While stepping on the woman, she said lightly: "Do you think Zheng Jing hides you very well, and no one will notice it, so she dares to use your former name so blatantly here?"
Luzhu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, biting her lip tightly, and even if it hurts, she will not say a word.
"At this point, you are not cautious enough, and the noble man behind you is not considerate enough, so he will reveal his legs so quickly. But I am a little curious. Since he can sacrifice Fu Cui, why do you leave your life alone?"
Luzhu gritted her teeth tightly, "Is it you who did it suddenly caught fire in the house?"
"That was an accident. Maybe God had eyes and insisted on exposing you to others."
"It's useless if you catch me. I'm just a servant and don't know anything."
Her explanation is not convincing.
Shao Yan said: "Indeed, you abandoned Zheng Jing first and then defected to him. He would not treat you as his own person, and naturally he would not tell you everything, but Fu Cui is different."
