1098.Murder (1)

Chen Kang looked at the small bench on Li Pojun's finger, thought about it and nodded: "Yes, we didn't knock anything down when we came in."

"This should have been kicked down by Uncle Lu when he stepped on his feet." Zhang Wenjun looked at the overturned small bench and guessed.

Li Pojun snorted coldly, picked up the small bench and stood up, pulled the rope with his hand again, and the position of the rope in a loop was just at his forehead, Li Pojun compared the position and said: "Look, this rope is too high, I can't reach my neck when I stand up, and Uncle Lu is a head shorter than me, is it possible?" He stepped on the stool and the height was not enough".

Zhang Wenqian and the others also nodded, "It must be a murder."

Li Pojun turned around and walked out of the door, walked up to an old woman, and asked, "Grandma, I heard Uncle Lu say that he still has a family, do you know where his family is?" ”

The old woman was stunned when she heard this, and said straightly: "What about at home, aren't the second aunt and her grandson all at home, not in the back room?" ”

Li Pojun looked at Chen Kang, Chen Kang shook his head and said, "No one was there when I came."

Li Pojun frowned, and at this time, the grandmother was also surprised when she saw this, and she didn't care about Li Pojun's noble status, so she shouted: "Isn't the second aunt here?" ”

Li Pojun shook his head and said directly to his grandmother and the villagers: "Fellow villagers, rest assured, Uncle Lu was killed by someone, and I will definitely find out and punish the criminals according to law."

Many villagers were also shocked when they heard this, they thought that Uncle Lu had suffered some grievances before committing suicide, and they were still very puzzled, but now they heard that they were killed by someone, how could these simple and honest villagers not be surprised.

But then Li Pojun's words shocked them even more, only to see Li Pojun pointing at Yang Gongcheng and saying: "This is Yang Gongcheng, the Yangzhou transfer envoy who led your Caohu, that is, your Lord Caoyun, as far as I know, you have not issued a salary for a long time, Lu Laozhang and others went to Beijing to complain and met me, I have accepted this case, so some people want to kill people, but thousands of Caohu can't be killed, you are all victims, now, which of you is willing to come out and replace Lu Laozhang, Continue to testify, as long as some of you testify, none of the corrupt officials will be able to escape."

Li Pojun said that, causing a shock, Yang Gongcheng's face was full of panic, and he shouted: "No, no, the official is not corrupt, Your Highness, the minister is wronged."

After saying that, he glared at those old and young Caohu, jumped to his feet and said: "You have to think clearly, this official is a transfer envoy in Yangzhou, and it is a big crime to falsely accuse the court members ......."

"Presumptuous, intimidating witnesses in front of me". Li Pojun glared at Yang Gongcheng and roared, the hand holding the hilt of the sword at his waist was really trembling, if it wasn't for reason telling him that he had to prove it, he would have wanted to stab this guy to death with a sword, Old Uncle Lu's death was definitely related to Yang Gongcheng!

The villagers were a little panicked, looking a little overwhelmed, and after a while, an old man asked tentatively, "This ...... Your Highness, can you really call the shots? ”

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty, that is, the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in the whole world, except for the emperor and queen, His Royal Highness is the largest of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness worships the governor of Yangzhou in this trip, and is also the envoy of Jianghuai and Jianghuai, and His Royal Highness can dispose of anyone." Zhang Wenqian also said to the villagers with a pleasant face.

When Li Pojun came, he just opened the road when the guards shouted all the way to His Royal Highness, many villagers still don't know who this young Langjun is, after Zhang Wenjun's loud introduction, the villagers were shocked and hurriedly visited.

The old man who spoke was also stunned, and then slapped his thigh and shouted: "The emperor's son, you will definitely be able to defeat the dog officials." After that, he also stretched out his hand and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I testify that our family, no, our village has not been paid for more than two years, and we can't live anymore......." The tall old man couldn't stop crying as he spoke.

After the old man said this, many villagers were also emotional, and the atmosphere was high, and they raised their hands and shouted, spitting on Yang Gongcheng, and many things had already picked up stones and smashed them at Yang Gongcheng.

Seeing this, Li Pojun hurriedly shouted: "Chen Kang, take Yang Gongcheng down and take him back to the administrative office for custody, and in addition, order the governor of Xuanzhou to be difficult to be the left, and recruit and transfer people from a government to the deposed embassy office."

Chen Kang snorted, and immediately stepped forward to sweep the hall, Yang Gongcheng fell to the ground before he could react, and a group of personal soldiers stepped forward to escort him away.

"Fellow villagers, the corrupt official Yang Gongcheng has been taken down by me, you elect a few representatives to come out, go to the deposed embassy office to testify, hold a meeting to try Yang Gongcheng, and once his charges are true, he will be immediately beheaded." Li Pojun stood on the stone and shouted

The villagers were overjoyed when they heard this, and they knelt down to thank them.

At this time, Zhang Wenqian hurriedly came over and said: "Your Highness, except for Uncle Lu, the other four people all died at home, all of them created the illusion of suicide, the scene was seen to be very hasty, the body of the deceased was still warm, and the man named Zhu was not at home."

Li Pojun was shocked and angry, he asked Zhang Wenjun to hurry up and see a few other people, just for fear of accidents, but it turned out to be too late. Pillar? Li Pojun remembered that it was the man who refuted and laughed at the crowd in Luoyang City, and Li Pojun said straightforwardly: "The pillar is dangerous."

He immediately turned his head to look at the crowd that did not want to disperse, and asked urgently, "Who of you knows where the pillar has gone?" ”

Some of the villagers quickly reacted, and some shouted: "Your Highness, Uncle Zhu went to Chenjiazhuang next door to dig the land for Chen's family, and he should be back soon."

"Chenjiazhuang? Where is Chenjiazhuang? Quick, take us to the pillar, if we go too late, the pillar will be killed." Li Pojun hurriedly said when he heard this.

The child who spoke was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was at a loss when he heard it, and a grandmother next to him hurriedly urged when he saw this: "Baby, go quickly, quickly lead the way for His Royal Highness the Prince, pay attention to safety."

"Grandma rest assured, I guarantee the safety of this child." Li Pojun hurriedly comforted, and then looked at Zhang Song, who was uncertain, and said: "Zhang Tingshi, as a local parent official, you will handle the affairs of Lu Laozhang and others well, Zhigui, you follow Zhang Tingshi, study hard." Hanwa, Du San, let's go".

Zhang Wenqian nodded to show that he understood, and immediately followed Zhang Song to comfort the people and restrain Lu Lao Er and others.

Li Pojun took Hanwa, Du San and hundreds of guards all the way to Chenjiazhuang under the guidance of the child.

Chenjiazhuang, the pillar washed his face by the water, carefully carried a cloth bag on the shore and walked happily on the way home, there was about a handful of coarse grains in it, he dug several acres of land for the Chen family, and one person did the work of several people, in exchange for such a small bag of grain, the family can drink a slightly thick porridge again, and there are nobles willing to help with the matter of protecting the salary, and life is not so gloomy, thinking of this, the pillar has a satisfied smile on his face.
