Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 81 Permission Denied
The setting sun is setting again, and the sun is setting in Winter City.

Xu Zun was sitting in the spacious carriage of Lord Inspector Li Yan, and the county guard Taimin was sitting with him.

Through the window of the car, one could see that Ju Ran was leading a group of policemen, using the cart specially used for collecting the dead in Yizhuang to transport the female corpse that appeared in Huguo Temple.

Zhao Yu was really rough and thin, he deliberately followed the cart on horseback, almost staring at the corpse on the cart, for fear of being stolen or destroyed.

Xu Zun happened to have this concern, and also worried that someone would do harm to the corpse.

Because, so far, the legend about the case of the female corpse in monk's clothes that they know is only told by Ju Ran.

They couldn't guarantee that Ju Ran's words were true. What if they were tortured back then, planted the blame, and wronged a good person?

Otherwise, why did this Taemin look so panicked and nervous?And Ju Ran deliberately obstructed it?
If this is the case, then Ju Ran might resort to some shady tricks, so keep an eye on the corpse.

But, then again, if Ju Ran is really lying, then there should be no need for him to make it so detailed, right?
What kind of monk, what kind of Buddhist scriptures, and the names of those Buddhist scriptures can he remember clearly?
Even if they were looking for a scapegoat to solve the case, they shouldn't be looking for an eminent monk, right?
What's more, after Lian Kong was arrested, there was no more crime, so it can't prove that they arrested the wrong person?
Based on the above considerations, Xu Zun still came to a conclusion that Ju Ran should not have lied.

In such a well-known case, there is no need to lie.

Therefore, Xu Zun looked back at Taimin, and then asked another question:
"Lord Sheriff, have you ever heard of a woman named Lu Xiaofeng?"

"What?" Tai Min seemed to be in a daze, and when he heard Xu Zun's question, he withdrew his energy forcefully and asked repeatedly, "Lu Xiaofeng?"

"I heard," Xu Zun said, "her family lives in Bookstore Street, she used to run a printing factory, and her ancestors were awarded Jinshi."

"Oh... so it's the Lu Family Bookstore," Tai Min nodded, "I know, I know, but his family only runs a bookstore, how could my Daxuan's printing factory run it privately, it belongs to the imperial government.

"That's right. Boss Lu was the director of the printing factory earlier. We all call him Dr. Lu. I have dealt with him a lot before."

Director?PhD?
Xu Zun sounded kind.

"However, later Dr. Lu resigned from his printing job and opened a bookstore, earning a lot of money! Hmm..." Tai Min looked at Xu Zun in surprise, "Why did Master Xu ask Lu Xiaofeng?

"I don't know who this Lu Xiaofeng belongs to Dr. Lu?"

"It should be his daughter," Xu Zun asked again, "Did you hear that their family moved out of Shangyuan City a few months ago?"

"Oh?" Tai Min was surprised, "Leaving Shangyuan City? Why?"

"..." Xu Zun was speechless for a second, and said, "It is said that there is an urgent matter in my hometown, so he left suddenly and has not returned yet."

"Impossible!" Tai Min shook his head and waved his hands, with an ugly smile on the corner of his mouth, "The Lu family is the surname of Shangyuan, Lord Hou's family, Dr. Lu's hometown is in Shangyuan City, why go back to his hometown?"

"Oh?" This time, it was Xu Zun's turn to be surprised and asked quickly, "Are you sure?"

"To be sure, the household registration management of printing factory workers is very strict," Tai Min said, "As the printing director, I must remember clearly.

"Unless, what you are talking about is not going back to your hometown, but visiting relatives."

visiting relatives?
Xu Zun shook his head, how could he leave relatives in such a hurry?Not only did he not reply for several months, but there was no news from him?

It seems... the situation of Lu Xiaofeng's family is indeed worthy of attention. I wonder if Miss Hou's disappearance is related to this matter?

"Hmm..." Although Li Yan didn't quite understand, he still asked with hope in his eyes, "Jiying, you suddenly asked about this person, did you find anything?"

"Lord Li," Xu Zun thought of something, and hurriedly said to Li Yan, "I have something to trouble you, please get me a search warrant, I want to search a place."

"Master Xu," Tai Min interrupted and said, "If you want to visit Dr. Lu's house, you don't need a search warrant at all. As a Tangzhou prisoner, all you need is a word!"

"No!" Unexpectedly, Xu Zun said again surprisingly, "It's not Dr. Lu's house that I want to search."

"Oh?" Tai Min was curious, "Then where do you want to search?"

Xu Zun paused for a few seconds, and solemnly said four words:
"Qing-lan-shu-yuan!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Li Yan and Tai Min replied three words in unison:
"impossible!!!"

"Huh?" Xu Zun was surprised and puzzled, "Why?"

"Why?" However, Li Yan also asked the same question, "Why do you want to check Lan Academy? You can't check there!"

It wasn't until this time that Xu Zun noticed that the expressions of the two adults were different, as if there was some kind of taboo in this Qinglan Academy.

Wululu...

Unexpectedly, when the two parties were very confused, there was a sudden commotion outside the carriage, and it seemed that a group of people blocked the way.

call...

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Li Yan didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain to check.

"Lord Governor, Lord Sheriff, it's me!"

But seeing a middle-aged man wearing a green robe and dressed like a eunuch appeared outside, he rode a horse and stopped the car.

"Oh, it's Steward Li!" Li Yan wondered, "What happened?"

"My lord," the housekeeper Li said eagerly, "Master Hou ordered the villain to come here, and specially invited that Xu Zunxu to come to the Hou's mansion to have a talk!"

what?
Lord Hou?

Xu Zun immediately understood what was going on, the green robed man in front of him was the butler of the Hou Mansion.

The reason why he came to invite himself must be because Lord Hou had already heard about his visit to investigate.

I left suspense in the Hou's mansion. This Lord Hou loves his daughter dearly, so he will definitely come to look for him.

"This……"

However, Li Yan and Tai Min didn't know what was going on, why did Lord Hou invite Xu Zun for no reason?
Even if you please, why didn't you take Xu Zun away just now, but why did you send someone to kill him back?
And looking at this aggressive look, it doesn't seem like "please"!

"Okay!" Li Yan agreed, "In this case, let's change the road now and go to the Hou Mansion to bother!"

"My lord! Hmm..." The butler cupped his fists at Li Yan and said in embarrassment, "Our Lord Hou ordered that only Xu Tixing be punished!"

"This……"

As a result, Li Yan was even more worried.

However, due to the disparity in status, he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

"It doesn't matter," Xu Zun got out of the car calmly, and said to Li Yan calmly, "Master Hou should only come to me to discuss the case, and he will come back when he is in a humble position."

"This..." Li Yan groaned, and told Xu Zun, "Jiying, don't lose your manners when you arrive at the Hou Mansion, be careful when you speak!"

"Well, don't worry!" Xu Zun had already thought about it.

"Also," but when Xu Zun turned to leave, Li Yan suddenly reminded, "This may also be an opportunity, if you really want to check that Qinglan Academy, then take this opportunity to apply to Lord Hou!

"Maybe, he can help you get permission!"

Oh?
Hearing what Li Yan said, Xu Zun is undoubtedly more curious about this Qinglan Academy...
