Chapter 048 Sure enough, he is a man who can do great things
Just as Shen Heng was watching Xie Jian and Lord Lu enter the academy, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind her. It was the yamen runners.
"Sir, sir." Before the horse stopped, the bailiff jumped off the horse and ran in front of Lu Ji'an.
"What is it?"
"Xie Changgen committed suicide in prison."
"What?" Lu Ji'an frowned, because he suspected that Xie Changgen was related to the death of Xie Jian's father. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, he had not yet convicted him. He did not expect that he would commit suicide.
Xie Jian rushed in front of the yamen runners and asked sternly, "How could he commit suicide? How are you guarding the prisoner?"
The yamen runners were not unhappy with the young man's questioning, but they also knew that it was indeed their brothers' negligence, and since he was the victim's family, they suppressed their unhappiness and only said to the adults, "My lord, he wrote a blood letter on the wall, saying that he was ashamed of Xie Jian's family, as well as his family and clansmen, and that he could no longer live in shame."
The Great Cong Dynasty imposed extremely severe penalties for harming children. You said that it was a death sentence anyway. Shen Heng could understand Xie Changgen's suicide, but the bloody letter made people suspicious. If he had realized this so quickly, would he still do such a heinous thing?
Lu Ji'an was worried. He had thought there might be some clues in the Xie family murder case, but now there is no clue again.
Xie Jian stood before Lu Ji'an and said, "Lord Lu, you just said on the city wall that we study not only to change our own destinies, but also to eliminate the darkness in this world. So, please clear my father's name first, and I will believe what you said."
Chen Heng looked at Xie Jian's furious expression. The death of Xie's father filled the young man's heart with resentment. He had no place to appeal for justice in the court. The inaction of his previous county magistrate and the government made him lose all trust in this world.
Lu Ji'an is the only hope that the Xie family can grasp.
Shen Heng couldn't help but look at him.
The yamen runner beside him said, "Xie Jian, your father's case has been under investigation for over a year, but every time he tries to find a clue, the investigation is interrupted."
Xie Jian was stunned.
"Even if I hadn't said those words to you on the city wall, as a senior official, I would have conducted a thorough investigation into any suspicious cases in my hands." Lu Ji'an said.
"Ajian," Chen Heng looked at him and said softly, "We must trust Lord Lu." She was willing to trust Lu Ji'an once.
How many people in this world would pay attention to someone who is full of hatred? They all avoid him. Finally, someone comes and is willing to help Xie Jian. This person is trustworthy.
As if he had heard the voice in her heart, Xie Jian bowed deeply to Lu Ji'an and said, "Master, please allow me to accompany you in investigating my father's case. I will remember your words and live up to your expectations."
Chen Heng: "..." The style of the painting changed too quickly, you have become you.
Lu Ji'an was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible."
"Thank you, Master." Xie Jian couldn't hide his excitement. "I will study hard and not bring shame to you."
Shen Heng looked at him awkwardly. He was indeed a man capable of great things.
Lu Ji'an said to one of the students, "Tell the dean that I will come back after I finish my official duties. Also, call Tan Ai (old woman) and have her go with me to the city."
"yes."
As Chen Heng watched Xie Jian enter the college gate, she happened to see an old woman in her fifties coming out.
Thinking that Lu Ji'an had something to tell her, after the three of them got in the car together, Shen Heng suddenly felt that Lu Ji'an had asked an old woman to stay here to avoid suspicion.
