This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 4 The nephew is really a son!

"Old parents, what else is there to wait for?"

After Wang Qian saw Hai Rui's question, he stood in the same place and pondered, a little puzzled and a little anxious.

At this moment, he wished he could tie up the thief and cut him into pieces to vent his hatred.

Hai Rui's face sank like water, and he didn't speak.

Wang Qian's questioning made him a little upset.

He didn't want to talk about his doubts.

Unexplainably, he could still put the hat on Liu Xiang's head and report it to Zhizhou. Although it was not a meritorious deed to push the case to Liu Xiang, it would not make him suffer any criticism.

But if you say it...

He was a little unsure about the chain reaction there would be.

In his opinion, this Wang Qian loves his wife so much, he will definitely not let it go.

If it is really their Wang family's own dirty business.

It wasn't that Wang Qian took the bravery of a man and splashed five steps of blood.

It was Wang Qian and Mrs. Wang who were thrown into the wilderness...

No matter what happens, as long as someone with a heart secretly tricks him, it is very likely that Hai Rui's official reputation will be dealt a huge blow during the Beijing inspection.

Although Hai Rui has justice in his heart.

But he is definitely not a pedantic person, it is impossible to gamble his official fortune for the reputation of a mere woman and the life of a servant.

Nowadays, as an official, not seeking merit but seeking no faults is the way to protect one's life wisely.

"Old parents!"

Seeing that Hai Rui was still hesitating, Wang Qian thought that Hai Rui was worried about the thief who left the fragrance. His eyes were all red, and his eyes were full of prayers. He knelt on the ground with a "plop":
"Please decide with Xiaosheng!!"

After he finished speaking, he slammed his head on the ground, and Hai Rui, who heard the deafening bang bang, couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.

Poor man!
Hai Rui frowned and murmured, and glanced at Mrs. Wang who was sitting on the bed. In an instant, she had a decision in her heart.

He put his hands behind his back, looked at Mrs. Wang calmly and asked:

"Is there anything to add to Madam's confession?"

Mrs. Wang Qian shook her head with blank eyes.

Following Mrs. Wang's shaking of his head, Hai Rui shook his head in a subtle way. He knew that the case would be settled.

It's hopeless, let's issue an arrest warrant.

Just as Hai Rui was about to speak out the decision in his heart, there was a hasty voice from outside the door.

"My... my lord, wait a minute, this subordinate has something to say!"

It was Lu Yuanzhi who had carefully observed the situation in the yard with Hai Lingzhi.

He stopped abruptly, so he didn't say the word uncle.

When Hai Rui heard the sound, a trace of astonishment flashed across Hai Rui's face, and then his expression was unavoidably gloomy.

Just by hearing his voice, he could tell who it was.

Isn't it just my good nephew who has amazing words from time to time, but mediocre talent!
Mentioning this, Mr. Hai has a stomach full of complaints.

He was just promoted to be the head of the fast shift yesterday, but he couldn't find him today.

The case is about to be settled, why come here?
But complaints are complaints, Hai Rui regards his nephew very seriously.

Lu Yuanzhi is similar to a lucky general in his heart.

It is the kind of lucky star who can always bring good luck to the people around him invisibly, even though he is mediocre.

Ever since Lu Yuanzhi stepped out of the shadow of his parents' early death, his life in Hai Rui became smoother.

The students became friendly with themselves, their brains were smooth when they were studying, and they were in a good mood during the scientific examination.

In the three exams in a row, Qiu Wei and Chun Wei were on the list one after another, and the palace exam was even handpicked by His Majesty.

Apart from being assigned to this small frontier county as a county magistrate is a bit difficult, life is like a flat road.

But Lu Yuanzhi has no talent for reading, and he is not a little bit worse than his current son in the Qinghe Academy in Beijing.

Fortunately, practicing martial arts is fairly hardworking, but this martial arts...

Thinking of this, Hai Rui felt a little pain in his flesh.

It costs at least 200 taels of silver to practice martial arts a year!

You must know that in Dayong, the annual salary of the respected adults in Tangtang County is only 50 taels of silver.

If it weren't for the sensible landowners in the county who occasionally made some income, Lu Yuan's martial arts practice alone could suck him up.

Hai Rui looked at Lu Yuanzhi who entered the room and asked in a deep voice:

"What's the matter with you?"

When his eyes fell on Hai Lingzhi behind Lu Yuanzhi, he frowned.

As a prostitute, she is not good at wearing red makeup and being well-armed. She has no talent in martial arts, but she plays guns and sticks behind Lu Yuanzhi all day long, and deals with the henchmen of the fast class every day.

What kind of men's clothes do girls wear at home?

How can there be a trace of what a daughter's home should look like?
But with outsiders present, Hai Rui is not easy to get angry.

He looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a hint of warning in his eyes.

He was warning Lu Yuanzhi not to talk nonsense.

After Lu Yuanzhi entered the room, he didn't look at the uncle first, but first glanced at the environment in the room, and after taking a panoramic view, he looked at the corpse on the ground.

A few tiles were broken beside the corpse called Wang Wu, and the tiles were surrounded by dirt, and the blood on the back of the corpse's head had already solidified.

Apparently, the corpse was hit by a hard object on the back of the head, killing him with one blow.

The murder weapon is also obvious, that is, the broken tiles on the ground. According to Lu Yuanzhi's speculation, it should be something similar to potted plants.

Although there were many people present, there were not too many messy footprints, and the crime scene was kept intact.

When he first arrived, he had already seen the environment in the courtyard.

The yard is not big, it is all loess mud, only a path leading to the gate is paved with bluestone slabs.

At this time, look at the house again, which is the scene of the first crime.

Just a little contemplation, and there is already a care in my heart.

Hai Lingzhi followed Lu Yuanzhi. Although the teahouse was not too far away, she was not like Lu Yuanzhi who had practiced martial arts for many years.

She is in the body of a daughter again, lacking in breath, a little panting, and panting causes her body to tremble slightly, causing her chest to be huge and trembling.

"My lord, according to my subordinates, the thief is not Liu Xiang!"

Lu Yuanzhi let go of the words straightforwardly.

As everyone knows, his words directly blown Hai Rui's heart to the sky.

Ten thousand sentences were stuck deep in Hai Rui's throat.

If I don't say anything, I'm afraid that Wang Qian won't let it go if he finds out. You've sold all the hard work I've planned.

Hai Rui squinted at Lu Yuanzhi, and said in a deep voice:

"Huangkou kid, is it a child's play to solve the case?"

Seeing Hai Rui's performance like this, Lu Yuanzhi would immediately be wrong.

Sure enough.

Uncle is so anxious, he really has no clue!

Isn't it time for me to act?

Today, I, Lu Yuanzhi, want to tell you clearly that my major in university is criminal investigation.

Stop pretending, I have a showdown!

I am a detective: far away!
Lu Yuanzhi didn't answer, but turned his head to scan everyone in the room, trying to get more clues.

At this time, a cold voice sounded.

"I don't know what opinion this class master has?"

The person who spoke was Wang Qian, who was staring at Lu Yuanzhi coldly.

Wang Qian was a scholar, and he could tell from Lu Yuanzhi's attire and the badge on his waist that the young man in front of him was the leader of the fast class of officials in the yamen.

It's just that this group of leaders doesn't look like they are in the weak years, and there is still a bit of ruffian in their brows.

What's more, the case has already come to an end, rushing here, looking more like a playboy

Can't help but feel a little contemptuous.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Wang Qian.

He saw that this man was wearing a brocade shirt with a pendant hanging from his waist, and he also had a touch of grace. Although his eyes were covered with red silk, he was quite elegant overall.

The shorter man in sackcloth stood beside him respectfully.

You can tell at a glance that this is a master and a servant.

And if nothing unexpected happened to the person who spoke, it was Wang Qian, the victim of the case.

With calculations in his heart, Lu Yuanzhi smiled gently.

"Not an opinion, just a few questions to ask."

When Wang Qian heard this, his eyes turned cold.

As expected, it turned out to be a wine bag and a rice bag, but he didn't say much. Lu Yuanzhi was on a business trip to handle the case, so he wouldn't blatantly mock him.

Hai Rui raised his palm slightly, then slowly put it down without obstructing it.

The words have already been said here, and obstruction will only make the case more complicated.

And he was even more curious, what step could this nephew do?
Moreover, no matter where the situation goes, he is also confident that he can hold everyone's mouth.

Lu Yuanzhi saw Xianglian standing beside him for the first time.

After seeing Xianglian, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up, and he ignored Wang Qian's pressing questions at all. A refined and easy-going smile appeared on his face, and he asked the very beautiful Xianglian:
"I don't know the name of this girl? What is her identity?"

It was extremely abrupt to ask in one sentence.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

Suddenly, Wang Qian's complexion changed immediately, and a sullen expression appeared on his face.

He immediately labeled Lu Yuanzhi a "Woman".

Xianglian was taken aback by the question, and felt a little uncomfortable when she was stared at by Lu Yuanzhi, and said:
"My servant, Xianglian, is Madam's personal maid."

After Lu Yuanzhi finished listening, the corners of his mouth widened.

Facing Wang Qian who just spoke coldly to him, he blinked his eyes, raised his eyebrows, showed an expression that any man could understand, and asked with a smile:
"Such a stunning maid, you must have...hehehe."

Lu Yuanzhi's sudden question silenced everyone present.

On this occasion...

this moment...

Could it be that you really don't want to be skinny?

Cousin Hai Lingzhi tried her best to keep her composure, but after all, she was a girl who had not left the court, so two blush appeared quietly on her face.

Uncle Hai Rui frowned even more.

Wang Qian blushed directly, angrily scolded:
"What does it matter to you?"

Gee.

Seeing Wang Qian's reaction, Lu Yuanzhi understood.

Seeing Wang Qian's appearance of an upright gentleman who is stupid in reading, he knew that this guy was definitely a master with lust but no guts.

He straightened his expression and said seriously:
"Mr. Wang has misunderstood. He just heard that Chongbei Wang Qian has always been a decent person. He wants to know whether the rumors are true."

The ghost knows who you Wang Qian are.

But for the sake of the case, Lu Yuanzhi came as soon as he said he was obedient.

Wang Qian turned pale when he heard this, and said:
"I, Mr. Wang, have always acted with a clear conscience."

Lu Yuanzhi showed a genuine look on his face, and clasped his fists together: "It's me who treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Well, he is indeed a heartless and courageous person.

After getting the answer he wanted to know, Lu Yuanzhi turned his head to the shy Xianglian who bowed his head again, and asked with a serious face:
"I heard that you were knocked out by the thief when the crime happened, right?"

"Ah."

Xianglian nodded.

"I also heard that when your wife was defiled by thieves, you just fainted on the ground?"

"Ah."

"hehe"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his head and looked at the crowd, showing his white teeth and smiling:
"Then the case is suspicious."

Ok?
Everyone was taken aback, looking at Lu Yuanzhi with blank eyes.

What doubts can there be in a simple two-sentence question?
Lu Yuanzhi saw the expressions on everyone's faces, and he laughed to answer his doubts:

"The culprit left the stunning beauty that had fainted on the ground motionless, so he insulted Mrs. Wang? I think that Mrs. Wang is beautiful, but how can she compare with Xianglian's peerless beauty that is just about to bloom?"

Unless the thief is like me, a Cao thief.

Lu Yuanzhi shrugged secretly.

"This... slaves don't know either."

Xianglian bit her lips, the soft red lips and the looming white teeth made the hearts of all the men present tremble slightly.

The smile on Lu Yuanzhi's face remained unchanged, with a bit of spring breeze, he continued:

"Although I don't know whether Wang Qian's visit to his friend was a temporary act, but the fact that this incident happened in the back yard just after he left, proves that this is not the first time that the thief has had trouble with Mrs. Wang."

Lu Yuanzhi said this while bowing towards Hai Rui, but it was for Wang Qian...

Hai Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

The nephew is right.

Wang Qian's thinking was suddenly cleared by Lu Yuanzhi. In these years, there is not a single stupid person who can read.

But there was a sharp pain in my heart.

The bloodshot eyes were directly covered with blood, and he gritted his teeth tightly, fixed his eyes on Lu Yuanzhi, waiting for his next words.

Hai Lingzhi on the side is a very good supporter.

"How do you know it's not the first time?"

She asked Wang Qian Hai Rui and everyone else's doubts.

Everyone felt that Lu Yuanzhi was jumping to conclusions.

But they were too self-confident to ask, only Hai Lingzhi didn't seem to have a bright mind.

Lu Yuanzhi gave Hai Lingzhi a compliment, taking it easy, the right hand holding the knife unconsciously rubbed on the handle, with an unfathomable face on his face, he said leisurely:

"It only took a quarter of an hour from when Wang San and Wang Wu went home to withdraw the money, to when Wang San hurriedly returned to the jewelry store to report."

"That is to say, when Wang San heard that the thief had insulted Mrs. Wang, Wang Qian had just left the house for a while..."

Speaking of this, others were still a little hesitant, but County Magistrate Hai Ruihai's pupils shrank slightly.

He had already understood the meaning of Lu Yuanzhi's words one step ahead.

"What happened for a quarter of an hour?"

The innocent Hai Lingzhi had a little hesitation on her small face, and she asked with a frowning expression on her face.

Obviously, she didn't want to understand.

Servants Wang San and Xiang Lian were a little puzzled.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled without saying a word, and turned to look at his uncle.

Hai Rui narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and said in a deep voice:
"The time is not right, half a quarter of an hour is not enough for the thieves to just step on the spot, let alone a daring improvisation?"

At this moment, everyone had stunned expressions on their faces.

"Great talents have sharp minds, and the past shines through the present!"

Lu Yuanzhi smiled all over his face, and immediately praised him.

It is very appropriate to cast admiration, respect, and admiration to the uncle.

Hai Rui nodded slightly when he heard the words, his expression was indifferent, and he stroked his beard unconsciously with his right hand.
