Chapter 1534 Waiting specifically for Shu Yu

Lord Xie was somewhat concerned about the lecherous old man that Qiu Ju had mentioned, but Qiu Ju was unaware of this, and Scholar Chen was completely oblivious to these matters.

The only thing clear is that Chen Ji is dead, and he died from his own poison.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Qiuju, Lord Xie had his clerk place the charges in front of her and have her put her fingerprint on them.

He then announced that Qiu Ju would be imprisoned and sentenced at a later date. As for the others, since they were all unrelated, they were naturally allowed to go home.

Lord Xie slammed his gavel and announced loudly, "Court adjourned."

Cheers erupted from the crowd outside, applauding the revelation of the truth in the case.

Qiu Ju was dragged away, and the others left the courtroom one after another.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were invited to the back office, where Lord Xie was waiting for them.

Regarding the case, Lord Xie expressed his gratitude to the two men, and then brought up the lecherous old man.

“I have a nagging feeling about this. Who do you think is the person Chen Xiucai might try to curry favor with in Jiangyuan County? The origin of that arsenic is also suspicious. If it really was given to him by that person, then why would he give Chen Xiucai arsenic?”

Lord Xie has only been in Jiangyuan County for half a year, and there are many things he doesn't understand. His greatest hope is that during his tenure, the entire Jiangyuan County will be peaceful and safe, and that nothing major will happen.

The reason for consulting with Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng was because they were both intelligent and had some prior acquaintance, and they wanted to exchange opinions.

However, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and then shook their heads. "Qiu Ju gave too few clues. We have no leads."

but……

Meng Yunzheng said with a stern face, "Sir, you might as well have someone investigate secretly. Since this person has been in contact with Chenji, it must have been more than just once or twice. Perhaps someone saw him, such as among the neighbors. I also agree that this person's behavior is somewhat strange and he is an unstable factor."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling. It's like something big could happen at any moment, like the death of Scholar Chen this time." Lord Xie immediately nodded, "You're right. I'll have people keep a close eye on things. If you have any leads, remember to let me know."

"Yes, sir."

After they finished speaking, the two took their leave. Lord Xie did not try to stop them, as he had a lot of things to do.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were indeed completely confused at this moment. After leaving the yamen, the two got into the carriage parked outside.

Ying Xi had just pulled on the reins, ready to set off, when he suddenly stopped and whispered, "Miss..."

Shu Yu was about to discuss today's events with Meng Yunzheng when she heard her call. She then drew back the curtains and saw several figures standing not far ahead.

She spotted Kong Zhiyou standing in the middle at a glance.

Besides Dongmei, Kong Zhiyou was accompanied by other members of the Kong family, including her parents.

Earlier, several members of the Kong family also came to the court.

When Kong Zhiyou saw her looking over, she immediately said to the people around her, "Father, Mother, I'm going to say a few words to Lord Lu Xiang."

Her mother sighed, nodded gently, and said, "Go on. If it weren't for the help of Lord Lu and Scholar Meng, you wouldn't have been able to get away so quickly. Thank them properly, and we'll visit them another day."

Kong Zhiyou nodded and walked to the carriage. "Lord Lu, may I speak with you alone?"

Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, and upon seeing this, Meng Yunzheng jumped off the carriage.
