C4 Interrogation of zhu chusheng

The four words on the mirror hung high up in the middle of Wu City Palace, and the solemn and upright Zhu Chi's signboard was placed in front of the hall, on both sides.

The Wu City caused one to be anxious as they sat on top of a high seat. It took a long time for one to calm down and barely be able to not tremble.

The place that the Master had originally sat was now an indifferent Lin Yi. As for Bao Fusheng, who had been protecting him from beginning to end, he was dressed as a bodyguard together with Su Mu and Wang He.

The County Magistrate, who was trembling in fear, could only clap his hands weakly. At the same time, the Magistrate's guard shouted in unison, "Mighty!"

"Bring the victim Zhu Chusheng to court." The county magistrate regained some of his composure as he shouted loudly.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu, who was wearing a large "Brave" military uniform, couldn't help but doubt the origins of these two. Not only were they able to bring them into the palace to settle down, they even made the county magistrate, who was a hegemon of Wu City, fear them. They were definitely not ordinary inspection officials. Could it be Wang Sun, Gui Hao?

Su Mu's gaze was filled with suspicion as he looked at Lin Yi who was casually sitting on the chair. If she really was a member of the noble clans of the capital, could her father's grievances be broken through from his side?

Just as Su Mu was thinking about this, a scholar with a delicate and refined face was brought to the hall by the yamen runners.

"This commoner pays his respects to the lord." Even after more than three months had passed since the death of her mother, Zhu Chusheng was still dressed in white to be filial.

The Wu City Token glanced at Lin Yi, and spoke with a guilty tone: "The reason I summoned you here, is to re-investigate the matter of your mother's death."

"Master, didn't you finish your case a few months ago? Now that my mother has buried my soul, bringing it up again is no doubt a heart for a commoner to be gouged out. " Although Zhu Chusheng's voice was soft, his emotions were agitated.

Being mentioned about the case being closed, Lin Yi faintly glanced at the hall, the county magistrate had always been paying attention to that direction, and under the cold gaze that was as sharp as knives, he suddenly became as sharp as a needle, "This official's … I was misled by a mediocre person previously and thought that he had escaped. Recently, someone had come to report that he was in Wu City City and that the people of the city had been poisoned again as an explanation for your mother's death. I ask you to come here and cooperate with the investigation. "

The county magistrate's voice was firm, the kneeling Zhu Chusheng was agitated, and suddenly could not help but cough, "If the real culprit is found, this humble one will naturally cooperate fully."

The county magistrate looked at Zhu Chusheng with satisfaction. Someone had come to block him, and it was a good thing that all the citizens under his jurisdiction listened to him obediently, "Since that's the case, I will send two Yamen s to follow you back to your residence to investigate."

Hearing that, Zhu Chusheng stopped coughing, but he still nodded his head, "Yes, this subject will obey."

After saying everything that needed to be said, the county magistrate quietly looked at Lin Yi, "Grand Master, is there anything that needs to be mentioned?"

Bao Fusheng, who was standing beside Lin Yi, held his breath for a long time, and in the end, opened his mouth wide. This county sent out all sorts of corrupt cases, to the point where he was even more timid than a rat ant.

"None." After Lin Yi's brief reply, he shot a warning look at Bao Fusheng.

Just like this, with just a few words from the county magistrate, Bao Fusheng and Su Mu entered the Zhu Mansion together.

Before leaving for the Zhu Mansion, Wang He pulled on Su Mu worriedly, "Why do you have to go there? I don't agree. "

"Wei, don't worry. Everything will be fine. Isn't Sir Lin going with us?" "I will do my best to protect myself. You also know that the case with Zhu Mansion has given me a deep thought, so when the city gate is unsealed, I will also continue to move forward."

Wang He understood that ever since he had moved into Wu City, the murder of the Zhu Mansion had always been on Su Mu's mind. Now that these two people with unknown identities had investigated this case, it might actually be a good thing for Su Mu.

Therefore, Wang He nodded his head, "Alright, then I will wait for your safe return."

"Mm, but you have to be careful too. That Sir Lin's identity must be even more extraordinary. As for my father …" Su Mu planned to tell Wang He about his plans.

But he was interrupted by Bao Fusheng who was standing beside the horse carriage, "brother Su, the horse carriage has already been prepared according to your request, why don't we go on our way?"

Not only did Bao Fusheng not understand why the two men would take such a long time to say goodbye as brothers, he also did not understand why Su Mu, a "man", would ask to ride on a horse carriage even though he looked weak. However, his years of upbringing and personality had made him hold back his curiosity and ask politely.

Inevitably, Su Mu also politely replied, "Thank you, Brother Lin. I will definitely go all out in this investigation. I will definitely try my best to take care of my body."

The two of them clasped their hands politely to each other. Just as they were about to sit in the carriage, Lin Yi who had not spoken up from the start spoke in a cold tone, "If something goes wrong, immediately leave the house and take care of yourself."

Carrying the concerns and expectations of Bao Yi and Wang He, the two of them finally arrived at the Zhu Mansion door.

No matter how ordinary the Zhu Clan was, they were, after all, a large clan that resided in remote areas. The front gate of the mansion was only slightly wider than that of an ordinary clan.

However, upon entering, Su and Bao realized that there was another world. The decorations within the Zhu Mansion were completely different from the simple and low-key atmosphere outside the gates, giving them the feeling of wanting to compare themselves to the county magistrate.

It seemed that the rumored mother Zhu who lived in the neighborhood had a generous dowry, and what she said was true.

"Two officials." Zhu Chusheng changed into normal clothes and came forward to welcome her. His entire face that was bathed in eyes revealed an almost transparent white color, as if he was terminally ill.

"The two of you have come to my humble abode. Since there is nothing for you to do, please send someone to sweep up two clean rooms and invite the two of you to stay."

Hearing that, Su Mu did not say anything, but Bao Fusheng directly said, "The two of us will only stay one night, there's no need to trouble ourselves, just one room will do."

"Could it be that you two sirs have been wronged?" Zhu Chusheng looked at Su Mu and said nothing.

On the way here, Bao Fusheng had already discussed this with Su Mu. They would investigate the crime scene together at night, so they wouldn't rest for too long. To be able to resolve the case as soon as possible, Su Mu naturally wanted to see an increase in efficiency. Naturally, he agreed.

"One room will do." Su Mu looked straight at Zhu Chusheng.

Zhu Chusheng did not continue either, he turned and ordered an old lady behind him, "Nanny Liu, bring the two officials over to settle them down."

With that, he smiled and explained to Bao and Su, "Nanny Liu is deaf and can't speak. If you have any matters, you can come and find me."

Su Mu nodded in agreement before he turned around and followed behind Nanny Liu who was about to escape. Bao Fusheng bade farewell and followed.

The two of them walked side by side, and their gazes locked onto the Nanny Liu in front of them at the same time.

Su Mu suddenly stopped and turned to Bao Fusheng, saying, "The culprit should still be in the Zhu Mansion." The sound was not loud, and it just so happened that Nanny Liu, who had not walked far, could hear it clearly. Of course, the prerequisite was that Nanny Liu had to be able to hear it.
