To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 352 Case Closed

   Governor Luo is not satisfied with a meal. After all, even if every dish on the table is delicious, the ones that are not eaten are the most delicious.

  Wei Han couldn't even eat well.

  Miss Luo said that it would be difficult for the restaurant to close until the Lantern Festival, and if it closed earlier, it would be impossible.

  Luo Dadu wiped his mouth and stood up: "Sheng'er, come back home with me."

  Luo Sheng nodded in response, took the snow fox fur cloak that Kerr handed over, and put it on.

   "My lord, take your time." Governor Luo greeted politely, but he thought in his heart: King Kaiyang is really an idiot.

   Wei Han also stood up: "I'm done eating."

  The three of them stepped out of the gate of the restaurant.

  The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blowing towards the face, ruthlessly rolled up the ends of people's hair and clothes.

  A green umbrella opened and covered Luo Sheng's head.

  Facing Governor Luo's murderous eyes, Wei Han said calmly, "Miss Luo, use this umbrella, it's big."

  What else could Luo Sheng say for such an unpretentious reason, and thanked him politely.

   Governor Luo had no time to say "I have an umbrella" and had to swallow it silently.

  On the way back to the mansion, Governor Luo endured and endured, and finally couldn't help asking: "Sheng'er, you and King Kaiyang—"

   What stage has it developed?

  King Kaiyang has such a high status, there is nothing he can do about that kid now. Unless that kid becomes his son-in-law, he will be able to settle accounts after autumn.

   Governor Luo looked at his daughter eagerly, and there was only one thought in his mind: Sheng'er, you have to live up to it!

  Luo Sheng asked generously: "What does father want to ask?"

  Looking at the appearance of Chief Superintendent Luo, it seemed that he was doubting her relationship with King Kaiyang.

  But... the father is not angry if he has such doubts?

  She even saw some expectations.

   In this way, Luo Sheng couldn't figure out the meaning of Luo Dadu's question.

   Governor Luo glanced around.

  The following attendants all walked behind, and two others carried lamps in front.

   These are confidantes, not afraid of being listened to.

  Luo Dadu lowered his voice: "Ahem, my father thinks that King Kaiyang treats you well, does he like you?"

  If it was a normal daughter, this kind of dialogue should not happen, but Sheng'er is different.

  Under Governor Luo's gaze, Luo Sheng's expression did not change at all, he shook his head and said, "No, King Kaiyang just likes to eat."

  She can see now that Governor Luo is looking forward to her daughter getting married as soon as possible.

  In order to avoid complications, it is better not to give Chief Governor Luo the illusion that she plans to marry.

  Luo Sheng looked at Governor Luo with a serious face: "Father, don't worry, my daughter doesn't plan to marry at all, and wants to stay at home with you for the rest of her life."

   Governor Luo took a breath, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

   For those who celebrate the New Year, what can you say to frighten him with dejected words!

   "Shenger—" Despite his reluctance, Governor Luo still praised Wei Han, "King Kaiyang is actually pretty good. If he is sincere to you, you might as well think about it..."

  Even if a matchmaker came to the door in the past few years, he would be so eager to eat alone tonight that King Kaiyang would eat alone.

  Luo Sheng frowned: "Daughter thinks it's pretty good now, besides, there are eldest sister and second sister, I'm not in a hurry."

  Thinking of the eldest daughter and the second daughter, Governor Luo gasped for breath again, and even had a faint angina.

   These two daughters are more worrying for him now than Sheng'er.

  Luo Dadu didn't care to speak good words to King Kaiyang against his conscience, and said in a deep voice: "I have told the whole family about Pingli's matter, don't let your second sister know for now."

  Luo Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

  Seeing the entrance of Luo Mansion, Governor Luo said slowly, "Sheng'er, close the wine shop early and have a good New Year."

  Since Sheng'er has no intention of marrying for the time being, what's the use of Kaiyang King, he closed the wine shop early so that he can't eat.

   Oh, eat alone.

  The matter of Governor Luo has come to a conclusion this time.

  The magistrate of Liuqing confessed that he was instigated by Pingli, the adopted son of Luo Dadu, and the assassin who assassinated the magistrate of Liuqing also confessed that Pingli paid him to kill the magistrate of Liuqing.

   Hiraguri is dead, the reason for this can only be guessed. The reason is not difficult to guess, it must be to be the number one member of the Jinlin Guard, unwilling to be under the Governor Luo all the time.

   What is dreadful is the mysterious killer organization, who killed Hiruri when the incident was revealed, in order to prevent Hiruri from revealing information about this organization.

   For a while, some people in the court were panicked.

   There is such an existence that is not controlled by the court, as long as you give money, you can kill whoever you want.

   Hiss—Pingnan Wang was assassinated on Qingxing Street earlier, was it the people from this killer organization who did it?

  In the hearts of civil and military officials, the unsolved case of King Pingnan's assassination can be regarded as the answer.

  In the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Lin Teng's face was serious: "The subordinates think it's not the same thing."

  Zhao Shangshu almost jumped up: "Why is it not the same thing? It is the same thing, quickly close the case!"

  Close the case and celebrate the new year.

   I heard that a restaurant closed during the Chinese New Year, so I was not in a good mood, and Lin Teng was stubborn.

  Lin Teng was unmoved: "Although they all assassinated with bows and arrows in secret, the details are still very different. The subordinates feel—"

   "Is there any evidence?" Zhao Shangshu interrupted Lin Teng.

  Lin Teng said nothing.

   "Are there any doubters?"

  Lin Teng remained silent.

   Zhao Shangshu flicked his sleeves angrily: "There is no evidence, no suspects, what do you think? Hurry up and close the case, and have a drink before a restaurant closes."

  Lin Teng hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

  There is no evidence, so to say the suspect—

   In fact, there is no basis, but he can't help but think of the green snake pulled out of the tree hole, and then think of a person.

  I don’t want to, since my lord insists on closing the case, let’s leave it at that.

  Emperor Yong'an read through the case files and summoned Dudu Luo to the palace to criticize him.

   "You have been in charge of Jinlinwei for so many years, and you brought up that Pingli, so it was so easy to be calculated?"

  Luo Dadu looked ashamed: "The minister is incompetent!"

  Emperor Yong'an impatiently waved his hand: "Back down, if you make a mess in the future, the commander of Jinlinwei will replace it."

  Luo Dadu retired in panic.

   Walking out of the high and heavy palace gate, Governor Luo sighed softly in his heart.

   This time, it was a blessing in disguise.

  A commander of the Jinlin Guard who is proficient in most matters of the Jinlin Guard but occasionally negligent, must be able to appease the emperor's suspicion.

   This time I stumbled, but I got up.

  And this incident left a suspense for the civil and military officials.

  The truth has come to light, but the emperor did not order the youngest son of Zhennan Prince to be executed, but put the youngest son of Zhennan Prince under house arrest.

  Twelve years ago, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was exterminated on the charge of treason. Now why did the emperor leave the Zhennan Prince's youngest son with his life?
