Chapter 801: The big governor with five flowers tied
Chapter 801 The tied-up governor
Not long after, Li Sanmu was led into the courtyard by Tang Weiming.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and seeing that this guy has lost a lot of weight with his frowning face, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help laughing jokingly: "Master Li, do you want to catch the murderer who assassinated Chang Lao and Princess Qian as soon as possible?"
"The lower official naturally hopes to help the queen solve the case as soon as possible."
Li Sanmu replied impatiently.
During this time, he was handling cases in his dreams every day.
"Today I will let you catch the murderer."
Chu Nanzhi called him forward, and whispered: "I asked Sanlang to recruit a group of dead men, and he left these people in Langzhou before he went north, so you led them out of the city secretly, As long as you stay firmly with the patriarch of Gujiazhuang, I guarantee that you will be able to catch the murderer."
"Really?"
Li Sanmu was ecstatic, his entire brow trembling uncontrollably.
"It's absolutely true."
Chu Nanzhi's face suddenly tightened, and he confessed with a sudden and solemn expression: "But you have to promise me two things. First, you must ensure the safety of Gu Lao; second, try to catch as many alive as possible."
After the words fell, he was worried that he would miss something, so he quickly reminded: "Li Sanmu, do you still remember the place where Chang Lao was killed?"
"Your officer will remember."
Li Sanmu gritted his teeth furiously: "Since I came to Langzhou, I have vowed to catch the murderer who murdered Chang Lao. I will never forget where Chang Lao was killed."
"very good."
Chu Nanzhi nodded and said: "There is no place in front of the village and no shop in the back. It is a good place to kill people and steal goods. It takes about an hour to get into the city from Gujiazhuang. Right now, you should be there just in time to pick up Mr. Gu. Hurry up." Go, don't waste the time."
Hearing the queen's determined tone, Li Sanmu rushed out the door in doubt, and secretly led the dead out of the city.
Tang Weiming's mind was full of question marks at this time, and he frowned and asked, "Queen, can we really catch the murderer who assassinated Chang Lao today?"
Since she came back from Jichun County, the queen has stayed in the mansion all day to accompany the little highnesses and princesses, and never went out to investigate the case. It is incredible that she is so sure that the murderer will appear.
"How about we bet a hundred taels of silver?"
Chu Nanzhi teased and smiled evilly at him.
"Slaves. Slaves don't have money."
Seeing that the queen was confident, Tang Weiming dared not bet with her, so he changed the subject quickly after prevaricating: "A few days ago, I heard that your majesty and the ancestors wanted to take the queen and the little princess back to the palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival. , but tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and no one has come to the palace for a long time, could it be that something happened in Jingling City?"
On this point, Chu Nanzhi was also deeply worried.
I heard that Lin Jinxiao transferred the troops of the three major battalions in Beijing to the front line. The number of defenders in the city is only 10,000.
While hesitating, Tang Weiming's questioning voice sounded again: "Since the queen is sure that the case of Chang Lao's assassination can be solved today, after the murderer is arrested and brought to justice, shall we set off for the capital immediately?"
Looking at his expectant eyes, Chu Nanzhi waved his hands indifferently: "It's better to wait for His Majesty to deliver the decree, and then we will start our journey."
Recalling the incident of escaping from Jingling City, she still has lingering fears and dare not be careless.
Right now, the safety of herself and the little treasures is at stake, and she can't let the little boy be distracted at this time.
Furthermore, before the reform of the government system in Langzhou was finalized, she was not at ease to leave.
Since Xiaobailian dared to call out the three major battalions, she had no choice but to believe that he was capable of defending Jingling City.
During these days, Zhan He had been building up momentum in the city, and a lot of flies and mosquitoes had been swatted, but she was still unable to catch the tiger in Langzhou City. Seeing that the net was about to be collected, she became more and more cautious.
Looking at Tang Weiming, Chu Nanzhi asked in a deep voice, "Who is in charge of the Captain's Mansion after Rong Heng went north?"
Tang Weiming's eyes paused for a moment: "It seems to be a general surnamed Lu. This person and Mr. Chang Shi were both transferred from Puzhuo County."
"It's not always the case."
Chu Nanzhi sighed secretly: "It's better to trouble Director Tang to go with me, and we will go to see Lord Inspector immediately."
Today, she has to sit in the state government office in person to be at ease.
The state government office is only one street away from the governor's mansion compound. Chu Nanzhi led Tang Weiming to the government office. Tan Qing was sorting out the documents submitted by Zhan He in the official office. When he learned that the queen was coming, he hurried Welcomed out.
After seeing the ceremony, Tan Qing shook his head sadly and said, "It's all due to the ineffective supervision of the lower officials. In just over ten days, in just a few counties of Puzhuo County, Mr. Zhan found out that there were several pregnant women who were persecuted by the government during the national funeral. Hundreds of incidents are really outrageous, but the lower officials sent people to repeatedly interrogate these officials involved, so far no one has confessed the behind-the-scenes instructions."
"Master Inspector, don't worry, I will give you an explanation today."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a mysterious face: "I want to trouble the governor to send a team of troops to the state capital to stand by."
After finishing the sentence, he deliberately emphasized the sentence: "It must be trustworthy."
Tan Qing really couldn't figure out what the queen was thinking, so he could only follow her wishes and secretly sent his confidant to enter the state capital to stand by.
After making all the preparations, Chu Nanzhi ordered Tan Qing to summon all the officials in the state capital to come to the lobby to discuss matters.
After noon, all the high-ranking officials of Langzhou Mansion gathered in the state mansion, but only the newly-appointed governor of the Captain's Mansion, Lu Cheng, was missing, and Chu Nanzhi suddenly understood everything in his heart.
She looked at the officials with uncertain faces, and asked pretending not to know: "At present, the affairs of the state capital are complicated. The governor of Lu Dawei has just taken over the captain's mansion. He should have worked hard to become a director of the government office. Why is he not in the government office at this time?"
All the officials looked at each other with blank faces.
After a long period of silence in the hall, Chang Shi Zhang Xuan came forward to defend him and said: "It must be because of the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, the governor of Lu Dadu will take a bath early due to family matters."
"Nonsense."
Tan Qingsu reprimanded: "So many major events have happened in Langzhou, what face do you have to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Glancing at the few subordinate officials who followed from the Captain's Mansion, Tan Qing asked furiously, "Tell me, where did the Commander-in-Chief Lu go?"
"The lower officials don't know."
The subordinate officials shook their heads in bewilderment.
Tan Qing was even more angry: "My official has already issued a strict order that officials at all levels should not dereliction of duty before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. They must stay in the official office to help Ting Wei Shi Si Zhan He thoroughly investigate the murder of pregnant women in various places. It is an unforgivable crime to leave office without reporting at this juncture."
"Master Inspector is serious."
Zhang Xuan retorted disapprovingly: "It's normal for the captain to lead the whole state's troops and horses, and he didn't have time to report in case of an emergency. Everything will be explained when he comes back."
"Master Changshi's words are very true, and I also feel that the governor of the mainland will give everyone an explanation today."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him and smiled meaningfully.
There was a dispute in the hall, but there was a loud noise coming from outside the state government office, and someone asked in puzzlement: "What did the governor do? How could he be tied up?"
