Vol 2 Chapter 49: but disciple
The capital is prosperous, Lian Youyou takes He Shiqi to buy and buy.
She has no money, but she has been "sent" money to her along the way. As long as there is a rich man who makes her displeased, and unfortunately has some evils on his back, it is inevitable that she will take the sheep by her hand. This is also the reason why Lin Tingjun went back to Beijing with her to eat, drink and live well.
Lian Youyou, that's a goddess, how could she treat herself badly?
While Lian Youyou and his group were heading to the southern district for shopping and eating, Fu Mingrui carefully checked all the files related to Lijiacun in the eight doors.
He looked carefully, how many people in Lijia Village, everyone's name, age, and gender, he silently memorized them in his heart. It was a respect for these dead and a silent condolence. The more he looked, the heavier his heart became.
In Lijia Village, there are 134 people, 26 elderly people, and 18 children. These people have escaped natural disasters, but they cannot escape man-made disasters.
Lijia Village is remote, which makes it easier for those beasts to cover up the truth.
If it was really a plague, it would naturally be helpless, regretful and heartbroken. But it is to cover up the crime and kill people to silence the mouth, which will undoubtedly make people outrageous!
People's hearts are sinister, and karma comes back. Fu Mingrui has handled so many cases, and he already knew about the former. However, the evil energy of human nature can often exceed his known imagination, as if there is no bottom line.
The latter was something he had slowly noticed over the years. In the dark, it seems that someone is secretly arranging. The word cause and effect often appears in the cases he handles. For example, he was investigating the hanging case of the old man in the secret room, and now he is dealing with the Lijia Village massacre case.
Those who were involved in this matter back then, except for the village head who was also murdered and silenced, all the others have been promoted ten years later!
Facing the more than a hundred lives in his hands, and facing the villain's promotion and fortune, what face does he have to accuse Wanqing of being wrong for taking revenge? !
Zhou Youfa, the county magistrate at that time, is now the state official of Wuzhou where Lijiacun is located.
The Majia Grain Shop, which supplied food back then, was also awarded for its contribution to disaster relief. The Ma family is very smart, and all the rice supplied in the big city is good rice without any problems, so no one would have thought that behind their backs, they supplied bad rice to those remote mountain villages.
Also since then, the Ma Guanqun family appointed his younger brother Ma Guanming to continue to manage the rice grain business, and Ma Guanqun officially entered the officialdom. Because of the capital support of the rice grain business, Ma Guanqun went all the way to Beijing, worshiped as the left minister, and became a Today's Hubu Shangshu.
Fu Mingrui put his hands on his forehead, Ma Guanqun was his father's disciple. How much he wished that the case he handled had nothing to do with his father, but in the end, he couldn't avoid it.
A person quietly walked in from outside the door, and Fu Mingrui immediately raised his face. Who would dare to enter through his eight doors without being notified? When he saw the person coming, his eyebrows were already slightly furrowed.
The person who came was Fu Mingsu.
Seeing that it was his elder brother, Fu Mingrui folded the file and put it aside, so that his elder brother would not see anything.
His move also caught the eyes of the shrewd Fu Mingsu. He is the same as usual, his hair is still in a high bun, capable and neat. He smiled and went to Fu Mingrui: "Father is back, and he also said that he will no longer interfere with your affairs with Jiumen. Father seems very angry, and seems to have suffered from Yao Guang." Fu Mingsu mentioned Sitting down in the robe, he looked sideways at Fu Mingrui who had a dignified face.
Fu Mingrui didn't speak, and Fu Mingsu smiled faintly: "Second brother, this time my brother is really troublesome. If you are angry, feel free to scold me."
Fu Mingrui sighed softly. After all, his brother also wanted to help him, but he did it in crooked ways. He lowered his face, lowered his eyelids, and did not look at Fu Mingsu: "Brother, I hope that no matter whether the case in my hand is related to Jiumen or not, you will not intervene in it."
"Okay, I've suffered a loss this time, and I won't meddle in other people's business again." Fu Mingsu smiled faintly, and turned to look at the wall outside the courtyard, "Behind that wall is the Nine Gates."
"kindness."
"In the end...what's so scary?" Fu Mingsu turned to look at Fu Mingrui.
The green worm in Wanqing's body wriggling again appeared in Fu Mingrui's mind, and his face turned green immediately. He turned away and gritted his teeth: "It's nothing." He frowned, trying to suppress the nausea in his heart.
Seeing his younger brother's appearance like this, Fu Mingsu was worried but also a little angry, what the **** did Jiumen do to scare his second younger brother into this appearance!
Fu Mingrui told him not to interfere in his affairs with Jiumen. However, it didn't say that he couldn't go to Nine Gates. As long as the matter has nothing to do with the Eight Gates, he can still intervene if he pays Mingsu.
Fu Mingsu still wanted to find an opportunity to see what kind of mystery was going on in these nine gates, so that the six assassins who made him the first one never returned.
"Brother." Fu Mingrui was a little calm. He came to the eight gates to investigate the case, and he also wanted to use his busyness to expel the lingering terrifying image in his mind.
At that time, Lian Youyou asked him repeatedly if he wanted to see it. Now, he really regrets it.
Fu Mingsu looked at Fu Mingrui, and said softly, "Is the second brother okay? Excuse me?"
Fu Mingrui looked at Fu Mingsu sharply: "Ma Guanqun is father's disciple, this case is not simple, if he is involved, will father protect him?"
Fu Mingsu smiled lightly, lowered his eyes slightly, but his eyes were already gloomy: "There are two kinds of human deaths. Heavenly killings are called accidents, and human killings are called suicide and homicide. Since Ma Yun killed him, could it be that he was seeking revenge?" Fu Mingsu looked up at Fu Mingrui. Fu Mingsu's shrewdness was not limited to business.
Fu Mingrui didn't answer, but still just looked at Fu Mingsu.
This is the default now. Fu Mingsu lowered his eyes again, and thought for a moment: "This Ma Guanqun is a dishonest person. He started as a grain merchant and did a lot of immoral things before. When he came to the door, I also did a little research. Now, this idiot is still in court. Involving our father, if it wasn't for him, the case could have been completely thrown to Jiumen, and there would be no such gamble. So..." Fu Mingsu raised his eyes and smiled at Fu Mingrui, "You just let go and investigate. This Ma Guanqun is already An abandoned child." Fu Mingsu said it very lightly, without any nostalgia in his eyes.
Fu Mingrui felt at ease when he heard Fu Mingsu's reply. Most of the more than a hundred officials in the capital, large and small, are his father's disciples. To be a disciple is nothing more than a relationship of dependence.
But among them, there are not many who have an important relationship with his father. Fu Mingrui didn't want to get involved with his father in the case because of these intricate relationships behind the scenes.
Ma Guanqun angered his father this time, and was abandoned by his father, which relieved a lot of worries in his heart.
At this time, outside the door, a policeman rushed in and reported: "Master, Ma Shangshu is asking to see you."
Fu Mingrui and Fu Mingsu looked at each other, Fu Mingrui frowned, and his eyes fell on the side file, the feeling of precipitation made him want to see Ma Guanqun even more.
"I'll avoid it for a while." Fu Mingsu stood up, ready to investigate the case.
"Just say I'm investigating the case, and I don't see you." Fu Mingrui opened his mouth, not wanting to look at Ma Guanqun any more.
