Just when Lu Zheng was thinking hard, another person came to Qingxi County, a person who made him feel mixed emotions - Lu Che.

The scene when the three brothers met was very awkward. Only Lu Xun was talking nonstop the whole time. Lu Che had a blank expression on his face and Lu Zheng was daydreaming. Finally, Lu Xun was speechless and could not help but slamming the table: "We are all family. Can't you just talk it out? Who are you showing off your sissy look to?"

"Lu Xun!" Lu Che frowned, "Is this how you talk to your eldest brother?"

Lu Xun rolled his eyes: "Brother, do you really have to make it clear to me? Since you feel sorry for your third brother and you are worried about him, then just say it clearly. What's the point of putting on airs as the eldest brother?"

Lu Zheng silently gave Lu Xun a thumbs up in his heart, but he still looked calm. In fact, times have changed and he is not as angry as he was before. Perhaps in their eyes, he was just a stranger. Whether it was Yun or Lu Che, their treatment of strangers was not wrong. He was just hurt because he took it seriously.

Although he understood, Lu Zheng forgave him immediately. He still couldn't get over it. He could temporarily treat Lu Che as a stranger, but it would be difficult for him to treat him as a brother.

Lu Che was exposed so bluntly by his brother that he felt a little embarrassed for a while. If he hadn't been unable to beat Lu Xun, Lu Zheng would have seen a scene of brothers killing each other.

Lu Che coughed and avoided the subject, saying, "Your Majesty sent me to investigate the matter of King Wei. I wonder what clues you have?"

Lu Zheng told Lu Che everything he had found out and speculated. Seeing Lu Che lost in thought, he thought for a while and asked, "Sir Lu, do you know about the case that wiped out a family sixteen years ago?" Lu

Che was stunned: "Why are you asking this?"

Lu Zheng then told him about the case of the Red-Clothed Thief, and said, "The deceased's surname was Jiang. This case should not have been closed back then. Do you have any impression of it?" He knew that Lu Che was knowledgeable and had a good memory. Lu Che should have just entered the Ministry of Justice sixteen years ago. This case was quite a big deal, and Lu Che should have seen the relevant case files.

Lu Che said, "I know this case. I was investigating this case with a lawyer named Qian. No criminal was caught at that time, and according to the local government, it was a murder due to revenge, so it was closed as an unsolved case."

Lu Zheng immediately became interested: "What else? Is there any reason why this family was killed?"

"This is also the strange part of this case." Lu Che thought carefully and said, "The Jiang family did not lose any property, and this family was kind and generous and had no enemies. But this family was killed overnight. Lawyer Qian and I investigated for a whole month and found no clues. In the end, we could only follow the local county lieutenant's words and close the case as a revenge killing."

"Is there really no clue at all?"

"In fact, Fa Cao Qian once questioned that several of the Jiang family's masters had signs of being tied up, and even some of the acupuncture points on the body of the old man of the Jiang family had signs of being pierced by gold needles. These are the acupuncture points used for torture." Lu Che said, "So we suspect that the murderer tied people up in order to interrogate them, and then ruthlessly killed them to silence them after getting the answers. However, the entire Jiang family was killed at that time, so this is just a question for us."

This coincided with Lu Zheng's conjecture. After listening to the story of Jiang Wenshan, he once had a guess. Maybe the Jiang family had something at that time, and they didn't want to be guilty of possessing the treasure, so it was coveted by the red-clothed thieves. After getting the item, the other party was afraid that the news would leak out, so they killed the Jiang family. But for some reason, they did not kill Jiang Wenshan, but took her away and raised her. Even Jin Hanxuan and his men did not kill Jiang Wenshan. Perhaps it was because of this red-clothed thief who stole it.

But what exactly was that item? Lu Zheng actually asked Jiang Wenshan similar questions, but she was too young at the time and could not remember many things clearly, and Jiang Wenchang did not have time to tell her these things.

"Then Lord Lu, do you know what the ancestors of the Jiang family did?" Lu Zheng actually asked just out of luck. After all, so many years had passed, and he didn't think Lu Che's memory could be that good.

Unexpectedly, Lu Che actually remembered it. He thought about it and replied, "We also checked this at the beginning. Coincidentally, the ancestors of the Jiang family were officials. The old lady of the Jiang family was once the Minister of Works."

"Minister of Works?" Lu Zheng couldn't help asking, "What did he do before? Agriculture? Water conservancy? Construction? Or... weapons?"

Lu Che said helplessly, "How would I know? I didn't check this specifically at the beginning."

Lu Zheng was a little depressed, as if he could touch the truth immediately, but it was just a little bit away. But fortunately, he knew the true situation of the case of the destruction of the family, and understood why Jin Hanxuan wanted to kill Chai Shuang and Jiang Wenchang. He certainly didn't want others to know what this thing was. In this case, Lu Zheng decided to put on a show for Jin Hanxuan.

In the evening, Lu Zheng called everyone to his house again, closed all the doors and windows, and then said mysteriously: "There is progress in the case of Chai Shuang."

Bao Zheng was the first to call out: "Really!"

Lu Zheng said proudly: "Of course, who am I!"

"You are worthy of being a master, you are really amazing!" The one who flattered him was naturally You Xiaowu.

Tiedan scratched his head and said: "Master, why don't you tell us what the progress is?"

"You all know about the gang that killed the two elders of the Jiang family, right? The leader was called Jiang Wenchang, and Chai Shuang was sent by him to get close to Jiang Sanniang, who was his biological sister." Lu Zheng said eloquently, "Jiang Wenchang's family was wiped out by the red-robed thief, and the red-robed thief also stole something from his family. Jiang Wenchang followed the clues and came to look for his enemy in recent years, but he didn't expect that the red-robed thief had already died of illness, so he could only kill the two elders of the Jiang family to vent his anger."

You Xiaowu hurriedly said, " How did you know that, sir? And what kind of treasure is this that would lead to the destruction of the whole family?"

Lu Zheng chuckled, "What a coincidence! My eldest brother was one of the people who went to investigate the case. I talked about this with him. He said that although the case was unsolved at the time, Jiang Wenchang did find a way to contact him many years later and told him the inside story. He also told my eldest brother what the thing was. My eldest brother was going to overturn the case for him, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a bandit, so he gave up."

"Sir, please stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me what it is!"

Lu Zheng was trying to be mysterious: "Why should I tell you? This thief in red stole my official seal. I won't let him off easily. I'm still keeping this thing to seduce him!"

Outside the window, only the complaints of You Xiaowu and Bao Zheng could be heard faintly, but Lu Zheng refused to say anything. Mrs. Pang quietly left the window, wanting to tell her superiors about this clue.

Inside the window, Lu Zheng smiled and wrote "Have you left?" on the table with water.

Bao Zheng shook his head hesitantly. This Pang Saozi's kung fu was similar to Jiang Sanniang's, and he was not completely sure. The few people had to chat about some trivial things before they dispersed.

This was the play that Lu Zheng wanted to perform for Jin Hanxuan. Now it depended on how Jin Hanxuan would do it.

In a small courtyard in the city, Jin Hanxuan sat in the main seat, and Fang Yuan walked around anxiously below him. On the other side, it turned out to be An Zicheng, whom Lu Zheng had been looking for. Perhaps Lu Zheng had never thought that this red-clothed thief was actually a subordinate of the King of Wei.

Seeing the expressions of the two men, Fang Yuan couldn't help but said, "You guys should think of a solution quickly. Lu Zheng already knows about this. What should we do?"

Jin Hanxuan asked back, "What should we do?"

Fang Yuan said anxiously, "Of course..."

"Brother Fang, don't be anxious!" An Zicheng interrupted him lazily, "Now that the matter is done, what if they know it?"

"But master..."

Jin Hanxuan said indifferently, "This thing will come out sooner or later, just like us, we will not stay in such a small place forever, lingering like rats in the gutter."

Fang Yuan widened his eyes in shock, "What do you mean?"

"Let him know if he knows. He can't guess that we are the master's men. Even if he knows, what does it matter?" Jin Hanxuan said indifferently, "On the contrary, the sea dragon king has a bigger appetite now. We should find a way to send him back to the sea to be his dragon king forever."

Fang Yuan was still worried: "The master said that we must not leave a single person alive. Jiang Wenchang didn't kill him. "It's fine if we just leave, but Hongmei wants to bring the girl back, and now we are tied up."

Jin Hanxuan's eyebrows were crossed with a trace of haze, but he still said: "Forget it, you can do whatever you want, but we promised Hongmei to save the child's life, and we can't break our promise."

An Zicheng clapped his hands slowly and said: "The three of you really have a deep relationship. In this case, let me do the finishing work."

"You?" Fang Yuan chuckled, "Lu Zheng has already discovered your movements in the previous incident. In my opinion, it is safer for me to come in person."

An Zicheng's face froze, but he soon smiled and said, "Okay. But I also remind you, brother, this kid is extremely cunning, you have to be careful."

Fang Yuan replied with a fake smile, "Of course."
