Chapter 34 Two brothers who are hypocritical and hypocritical
After Liu Yichi calmed down, several people sat around the small square table and listened quietly to Damselfly's story.
"Lu Renjia and I grew up together. His house used to be right next to my house, right where the embroidery shop was next door." Damniang pointed to the left, "That used to be his family's house. Two years ago After his brother Lu Yijia became rich, his family moved away. Their life was not as good as mine. A widowed mother took care of her two sons. His mother didn't know much about crafts and could only make a living by washing clothes for others. When I heard that his brother had made a lot of money by starting a big business, I was happy for him, thinking that his family's hard life was finally over. At the end of the day, I can live a good life when I get married, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
The damselfly laughed at herself: "It's a pity that I never thought that Lu Yijia was not doing a serious business, but selling private salt under the guise of reselling silk! After I found out, I persuaded Lu Renjia not to follow the same path as his brother. to black , if exposed, it would be a serious crime of confiscating the family and annihilating the clan! I never thought that he would go back on his promise and send me to Fang Wu's bed after being knocked unconscious. I was completely heartbroken, but I missed it because of my ignorance. It's a good time to report to the official, plus We had no power, so we had to swallow this bitter pill ourselves. Later, Lu Renjia and I broke off our engagement. We originally decided not to have any contact with each other until we die, but we accidentally found out that General Fang had an affair. Other girls I wanted to use them to exchange for the blessings of those high officials. I couldn't bear it. When I went to Zuixianglou to give clothes to the boss, I saw Fang Wu again. In a moment of excitement, I picked up puffer fish poison and stabbed Fang Wu. "
Ji Yutang and Xie Huaichu looked at each other, and Xie Huaichu said: "Ms. Ji, it's up to you to ask the question next. You are more careless and careful than the two of us."
Wenming Xin retorted in a low voice: "Who is as big as you? If you want to praise Mrs. Ji for her carefulness, just praise her directly. Don't bring me along as a foil for her."
Xie Huaichu rubbed his fingers in embarrassment, signaling him to take notes and stop talking.
Ji Yutang ignored the little moves of the two of them and said to the damselfly: "I have a few questions that I would like you to answer."
"Ms. Ji, please speak."
"First, how did you know that Lu Yijia was selling private salt?"
The damselfly glanced at Liu Yichi and said: "The old man has been telling me that the gap between our two families is huge now. I don't know if Lu Renjia's family is still willing to recognize this marriage, so he always stops me and won't let me talk privately." I met Lu Renjia again, but I didn’t listen to him. I often went to meet Lu Renjia secretly. That was in June this year. I went to buy it at Tianshui Lane as usual. In the house, I waited for a long time but no one was there. I was about to leave when I heard Fang Wu’s voice. I annoyed him the most, so I hid. As a result, I heard the conversation between Fang Wu and Lu Renjia. They were talking. We discussed how to divide the profits from selling private salt, and also said that we should remember to be filial to Mr. Gu, the salt and iron envoy. It was from here that I learned why Lu Yijia made a fortune two years ago."
Ji Yutang asked the damselfly again: "Have you not been discovered?"
"I was discovered by Lu Renjia. He knew that I would go that day, but the other two people didn't know. I persuaded him that day, and he promised me to wash my hands in a golden basin and stop having sex with his brother."
Hearing this, Liu Yichi was very angry: "We, father and daughter, all thought that Lu Renjia was deceived by his brother and took this road that violated the laws of Daxia, so he later asked my son to go out to meet him. I think I thought of it and agreed. But I didn’t wait until midnight before anyone came back. I didn’t know anything had happened until my baby finally came back.”
Ji Yutang comforted Liu Yichi, and then asked the second question: "Did the two Lu brothers and Fang Wu kidnap an ordinary girl together?"
"Yes." Damselfly said with a cold voice, "I heard this from Fang Wu when I was half-conscious and half-awake. He was quite smug and said, 'Damselfly, damselfly, are you okay? I should be glad that I have fallen in love with you, otherwise I would be like other little ladies He was sent to the beds of various old men. Do you know that the old tofu seller in the south of the city has had his daughter passed away five times? Know the key. ”
"Everyone in the world dares to abduct decent women, it's really lawless!" Wenming Xin wrote angrily on the book, as if he was poking the throats of the bad guys with his pen.
Xie Huaichu clenched his fists tightly: "I will definitely rescue them all and let those people receive the punishment they deserve."
Ji Yutang was in a very depressed mood. She knew that even in the era of cameras everywhere, there were still many unsolved cases of disappearances, let alone this era of supremacy of imperial power. But she had to obey fate. Since she encountered this case, she would definitely get to the bottom of it.
"My third question, damselfly, according to what you said, Lu Renjia and Fang Wu are a team, so why did he help you plead guilty? Fang Wu is the only son of Fang Zhiwei, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. Fang Zhiwei Wei Duan will not let the murderer go, so isn’t Lu Renjia just asking for his own death?”
The damselfly shook her head: "I don't know why he confessed for me."
Xie Huaichu provided an idea: "What if he pleads guilty and will not die?"
"What do you mean?" Everyone was confused.
Xie Huaichu said: "There are two possibilities. One is that someone in the Bianjing Mansion can save him, because the Bianjing Mansion has the right to impose death sentences and execute prisoners. If someone suppresses the matter, he should be able to be exiled. ; The second is that there are people in the Ministry of Punishment who can secretly Operation, the death penalty case must be reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment. If the Ministry of Punishment intervenes, he should be able to be saved. I think there will be someone behind the scenes to save him. Otherwise, why would he dare to plead guilty? "< br>
Ji Yutang suddenly remembered that when she unlocked the "reasoning expert" medal before, she got an opportunity to check other people's gossip, but she hadn't used it yet? Isn't this the best time?
"System, I want to check Lu Renjia's gossip." Ji Yutang said to Chigua System in his heart.
[The system receives it. Warm reminder: Host, next is a video. Do you want to invite your friend Xie Huaichu to watch it? ] Ji Yutang smiled at Xie Huaichu, chose [Yes], and then quietly reached out under the table and held Xie Huaichu's fingers.
Xie Huaichu's heart moved, and he realized that Ji Yutang was about to use his magical power again. He closed his eyes, and a scene unfolded:
Lu Renjia knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. The tall and strong man was crying with snot and tears all over his face. He shouted to the slender man sitting in front of him: "Brother, please, I don't want to go anymore." I have done such a shameful thing. Please let me go. I promise not to leak this matter. I will leave Bianjing with Damniang. We will go far away and never come back. I promise to keep this secret. Keep things under wraps.”
The lanky man was Lu Yijia. He was quite handsome, and it was difficult to associate him with the scum of society who kidnapped girls.
Lu Yijia said lightly: "My good brother, you have enjoyed the glory and wealth for two years. Now you are afraid and want to leave. It's really funny. There is nothing so cheap in this world. I advise you not to Thinking about washing your hands in a golden basin, you know? People who want to wash their hands in a golden basin usually die soon."
Lu Renjia couldn't hold it any longer. He knelt and crawled to Lu Yijia's feet, stretched out his hand to grab his trousers: "Brother, I really can't bear the condemnation of my conscience. I gave it to Mr. Du last time." That little lady is Yun Mei who has been following us since childhood. She was just, she was ruined by an old man in his fifties like that. I really, I really don’t want to continue doing this. ”
"Stop talking. Since you made up your mind to follow me on this road, there is no turning back. You can only go to the dark side." Lu Yijia kicked Lu Renjia's hand away and suddenly smiled, "You If you are afraid, then my brother will help you cut off all your worries.”
Lu Renjia was stunned for a moment and began to tremble crazily: "Brother?"
Lu Yijia said: "I will help you solve your concern about the damselfly. You don't need to thank me."
"Brother, please don't touch her, please! I don't want to quit. I don't want to quit anymore. Brother, I will do whatever you tell me to do." Lu Renjia cried and shouted.
Lu Yijia's smile became brighter, and he threw a bag of powder at Lu Renjia's feet: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to coax the damselfly into drinking this, and then send her to Fang Wu's bed. Go and I will spare her life.”
Lu Renjia suddenly looked up at him, his eyes widened: "No, no."
"You dare to challenge my bottom line again and again. Then go to hell! I will treat you as if I don't have a brother." Lu Yijia roared angrily, reaching out and grabbing Lu Renjia's neck. , his strength was surprisingly strong, and Lu Renjia was pinched until his veins popped out.
"I will do it, I will do it." Lu Renjia said with difficulty, and he slapped Lu Yijia's hand hard. His desire to survive still defeated his love for the damselfly.
Lu Yijia let go of his hand and smiled ferociously on his handsome face: "That's right, my good brother."
The video ended here, and Ji Yutang let go.
Xie Huaichu looked at Ji Yutang silently. At this time, both of them had complicated moods. They finally understood why Lu Renjia took the blame for the damselfly. He might have felt guilty about the damselfly, but more importantly, he had the confidence to escape the death penalty. After all, Lu Renjia chose himself in the end.
At this time, a prompt sounded in Ji Yutang's head: [Host, congratulations on achieving the "Ordinary Friend" achievement. The system will be upgraded for two days. There will be surprises after the upgrade. 】
I hope it's a serious surprise, there are so many bad things going on right now.
Ji Yutang looked at Damselfly: "Do you have any clues about this case? For example, do you know who is behind Lu Renjia and the others?"
The damselfly shook her head: "I only know that after they kidnapped those little ladies, they didn't just give them to one person. As for who those people were, I don't know. By the way, their next target is Chunhui Noodle Shop. The little cook Ayin, and Sister-in-law Song’s two daughters Yuyu and Maimai. Sister-in-law Song is the embroiderer in the embroidery shop next door.”
"Then we divide our troops into two groups, one to investigate the people who colluded with the Ministry of Punishment, Bianjing Prefecture Yazhong, Lu Renjia and others, all the way to wait and see, and protect them secretly." Xie Huaichu suggested.
