Chapter 394 Inquiry
Dou Zhongli also heard many people discussing why Liang Mingxuan hadn't arrived yet. He even saw that the teachers at the county school were secretly worried.
He felt both proud and jealous.
He was naturally proud that his little trick had worked, but he was also jealous that so many people cared about Liang Mingxuan.
Didn't he just miss the exam? What's there to discuss? Are these people just that idle? They're just chattering away.
And gentlemen from the county school, what is there to worry about?
He actually wanted to know where Liang Mingxuan lived? He wanted to send someone to look for him.
Oh, go, there will be surprises when you go
Dou Zhongli felt proud, jealous and happy. Unfortunately, he didn't wait until the examination room closed before entering. It would have been great if he could witness this moment with his own eyes.
Unfortunately, that would be too conspicuous, so he couldn't do that.
The moment he stepped into the examination room, Dou Zhongli was full of energy and confidence, and he felt that the world had become wider.
He was smart since childhood. At the age of three, he could recite the "Three Character Classic" fluently. Everyone who saw him praised him. He was very confident that he would pass the examination.
Then he would be the youngest scholar by then.
How can the examinations for Tongsheng and Xiucai be the same? How can the youngest Tongsheng be compared with the youngest Xiucai?
After all, he was still one level higher than Liang Mingxuan.
As soon as Liang Minglang left the house, he went to find Captain Yu and told him everything.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. It is not easy for him to investigate, but Captain Yu can.
Even if there is no way to mobilize the officials from the government office, who among the local gangs would dare to disobey the orders of Captain Yu?
Captain Yu burst into a rage after hearing this: "Dou Zhongli? Why does this name sound so familiar? Ah, now I remember. He's the one related to the Qi family? A cousin of the Qi family? As expected, no one associated with this family is a good person."
Liang Minglang: "Don't be so hasty to criticize me yet. It's not too late to criticize me later when you have more time. In your opinion, how should we investigate this matter?"
Although they themselves identified Dou Zhongli as the prime suspect, there was no evidence pointing to him.
Captain Yu thought for a moment and sneered, "That's not difficult, but I can't come forward. I'll ask two people to find Doctor Liu's family and ask where Doctor Liu is."
Who made him leave town? Where did he go? How long would it take for him to return?
Maybe Dr. Liu's family knows.
Even if I don't know much, it doesn't matter. Doctor Liu will always tell the family whereabouts, right? Go bring him back for interrogation.
As long as they can confirm that Dou Zhongli asked someone to contact him, they can follow the clues and arrest the person responsible for the contact and threaten and intimidate him for interrogation.
Captain Yu has never met many people like him who are not afraid of death but are willing to protect others.
Liang Minglang nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Captain Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Why bother? I treat Brother Liang as one of my own."
Captain Yu quickly found two thugs with vicious looks and bad reputations and gave them an account.
The two hooligans were ready to fight and excitedly issued a military order.
You know, if this thing is done, it means that Captain Yu owes them a favor, and such opportunities are rare.
If it is available, the brothers will fight for it with all their might, and they may not be able to get it even if they break their heads.
I didn't expect that Captain Yu would come to them in person today. It's really a blessing from heaven.
"Don't worry, Captain Yu, I—ahem, I will definitely succeed in my mission!"
"Captain Yu's affairs are my business, and I will definitely handle them for you."
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry!"
Captain Yu angrily yelled, "Be careful what you say to me. I don't have any followers like you. Get out of here and get back to work."
"Hey, don't worry!"
The two thugs came forward, and naturally they didn't mention Captain Yu. They just said they wanted to see Doctor Liu. Where was he?
The Liu family members smiled and said that they were not at home and had gone out. The two thugs came with a mission, so of course they wanted to get to the bottom of it.
The Liu family was hesitant at first and reluctant to speak, but after their expressions changed and they started threatening and intimidating them, how could they dare to hide anything? They were so scared that they told everything.
Doctor Liu was out of town and was staying at a relative's house in the suburbs. The relative wanted to see him about something, so he went to
When Captain Yu received the news, he and Liang Minglang immediately left the city to find Doctor Liu.
Captain Yu did not show up, but Liang Minglang did not hold back with him. He coaxed the man into a deserted place in the woods. What kind of threats and intimidation could he not use?
Doctor Liu didn't do anything against the law. Someone just gave him a benefit and let him stay out of the city for two or three days, that's all.
Although the other party used both soft and hard tactics to ask him not to tell anyone about this, he agreed, but on the premise that he would be safe.
He is an old man, why should he act tough when being threatened?
If you really get injured, wouldn’t that be a big loss?
Anyway, even if he told this, it wouldn't pose any threat to him.
It was discovered that what Captain Yu had predicted was correct, and Doctor Liu had indeed taken the silver before leaving the city. It was almost certain that Liang Mingxuan had been tricked.
Ten taels of silver is quite generous.
He took Doctor Liu into the city by carriage, tricked Dou Zhongli's followers into leaving the inn, and asked Doctor Liu to identify him from the carriage.
Doctor Liu identified Dou Jin without hesitation.
Perhaps he never thought that the matter would be exposed so quickly. Dou Zhongli did not try to cover it up at all. Dou Jinye did not take it seriously and went to see Doctor Liu directly.
Anyway, he is just here to serve you for a few days and will leave after a few days. Who knows him?
Everything was connected, and Liang Minglang took Doctor Liu to report to the police.
County Magistrate Lu was very concerned about the Tongshi exam. He had no time to work for the past three days and was waiting for the results.
Originally, when he heard that someone came to file a complaint, he didn't want to bother with it, and wanted to order Master Shao to send him away, and tell him to come back in three days unless it was an extremely urgent matter.
When he heard that this matter was related to the Tongshi, he was terrified and immediately ordered his successor.
When County Magistrate Lu heard that the person who filed the complaint was Liang Mingxuan's brother, he took the case even more seriously and kindly asked him to come closer and tell him in detail.
Upon hearing that Liang Mingxuan had severe abdominal pain and diarrhea yesterday, County Magistrate Lu's face immediately changed and he hurriedly asked how Mingxuan was.
I was relieved to hear that the medicine did not affect the exam.
After hearing the reasons, County Magistrate Lu immediately ordered Captain Yu to take people to seize the inn, bring in Dou Zhongli's two servants for questioning, and take the shopkeeper, waiters, and other students who brought servants to serve them under control, waiting for questioning in case they needed to be summoned.
This scene shocked the teachers in the county school.
Fortunately, County Magistrate Lu was a gentleman who loved talents. He had built the county school himself, and he respected the teachers there very much. Therefore, he specially sent Master Shao to appease them and reassure them.
The innkeeper and his staff, unaware of what was happening, were terrified, completely unaware of what was happening. Dou Jin and Dou Quan, who was in charge of administering the drug, were also filled with anxiety.
Just one for today, haha
