"Who is that person?" Han Zhaocai couldn't wait to know the answer.

"Laichuan confessed that the person was Lou Zigang." As the only legitimate son of the Lou family, Lou Zigang couldn't figure out why he wanted to bribe an outsider to kill his sister.

"It's him? Why did he do this?" Han Zhaocai was a little surprised when he heard that it was him.

"Lai Chuan doesn't know the reason. How did Lou Zigang treat you in the Lou family before?" Lu Wanfeng tried to find out the reason why Lou Zigang found someone to kill her.

"Although we weren't very close, he didn't give me any hard time during the few months I was at Lou's house." Han Zhaocai thought, "Do you remember the last time I discussed it with you and saw the two incomplete memories of Lou Zhuxin? Could it be that Lou Zhuxin found out something about him, so he kept looking for someone to get rid of her?"

"It seems so, otherwise he has no reason to do this." I don't know what the reason was, but Lou Zigang ignored the love between brother and sister and cruelly let someone kill her.

"Since Na Laichuan has confessed Lou Zigang, will the prefect arrest him and punish him?" Han Zhaocai asked with concern.

"Captain Yang has gone to report this matter to Master Yan. Master Yan should order someone to arrest Lou Zigang."

"Is that going to be a death sentence?" This man is so hateful and has no regard for brotherhood. He deserves the punishment he deserves.

Lu Wanfeng shook his head, "Not yet. Logically, I will interrogate him first."

At this time, in the courtroom, after receiving the report from Capt. Yang, Lord Yan, the prefect, issued an order to interrogate Lou Zigang.

Being brought into the court, Lou Zigang questioned with some dissatisfaction, "Sir Yan, you ordered people to summon the common people to come. I don't know why?"

"Someone has reported that you were involved in a murder case."

"Who is making such random slander? How could I, the dignified young master of the Lou family, be involved in any murder case? Don't listen to others' false accusations." Lou Zigang scolded angrily.

Master Yan took a picture of the gavel and warned him, "Don't roar in court. This government handles the case and will find out clearly and deal with it impartially."

Lou Zigang immediately calmed down his anger and said, "My lord, please forgive me. The common people just now felt righteous and indignant because they were falsely accused."

"Someone accused you of buying a murder girl, giving the killer a thousand taels of silver, and asking him to kill Miss Lou Si for you. Is this true?"

"There is absolutely no such thing. This person is clearly talking nonsense! No one in this city knows that my sister-in-law died of water when she went to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat. What does it have to do with me?" Lou Zigang then asked angrily, "May I ask, sir, who is this person who falsely accused me?"

"The name of the person who testified against you is Lai Chuan. Do you know him?"

Lou Zigang was horrified, but he said calmly, "It turns out it's him. He's a gangster in Suyun City. He was clearly seeking revenge, so he falsely accused me like this."

"Why do you say he is seeking revenge?"

"My lord, I don't know. I caught Lai Chuan teasing a girl in the city earlier. After I scolded him, I beat him away and rescued the girl from his hands. I'm afraid he had a grudge against me, so he made such a false accusation."I."He continued with an indignant look on his face: "Besides, I have a deep relationship with my roommate. Why would I want to bribe an outsider to kill her? I hope you will understand and don't let the common people suffer unjust injustice because of such a villain's false accusation."

"What you said is not unreasonable. There must be a motive for killing. This government will investigate this matter carefully. Second Young Master Lou should go back first."

Since the Lou family was an imperial merchant, they usually showed less filial respect to him than a young master, so Mr. Yan was somewhat protective of Lei Zigang and let him go after just a few words.

Lou Deshan shouted angrily, "Why did the magistrate send someone to arrest you today? What did you do?" He had been imprisoned once because his son ran away to sell illegal salt with others. At that time, he spent a lot of effort to get his son out of prison.Not long ago, he learned that his son was taken to the Yamen by two officials. He was so angry that he threw an inkstone on the spot.

Therefore, as soon as his son came back, he immediately called someone to the study to question him about the matter.

"Father, someone is falsely accusing me this time." He knew that even if he didn't say anything about Lai Chuan, his father would ask him about it from the entourage who accompanied him. He couldn't hide the matter from his father, so he had no choice but to stick to the word "false accusation" and stay clear of the matter."Let me ask you, what's going on?"

Lou Zigang decided to tell his father what he had said to Master Yan.

"You think this is unreasonable. The gangster accused me of hiring a murderer to kill Zhu Xin. Isn't this a false accusation? What reason do I have for doing this? What am I doing to kill my own sister? Am I crazy?" He showed an expression of indignation.

Lou Deshan asked suspiciously: "How could that ruffian accuse you so falsely?"

"I think he is deliberately retaliating against me." He then brought it out that he had caught Laichuan teasing the girl and dealt with his father.

"Since this person is falsely accusing you, I think Master Yan will find out about this matter. You should be more careful in the future and avoid provoking such people." After warning his son, Lou Deshan waved his son away.

The news that Lou Zigang was brought to court soon spread to the entire Lou family.

As soon as Lou Ziwei learned about this, he hurried to find Lou Zixiu.

"Brother, have you heard about the second brother?"

"I heard." Lou Zixiu waved his servants away from the room.

"Brother said before that the death of the fourth sister was a bit strange. Could it be that she was really killed by someone?" Lou Ziwei was not very close to the fourth sister before, but after she met the shipwreck, she suddenly became smarter and came up with some good ideas. He now appreciates this sister somewhat. Her sudden death not long ago made him a little regretful.

"When the fourth sister's body was brought back, I secretly asked the girl who changed her shroud to check her body. There were no other injuries on her body. She must have drowned."

"Then why did you say her death was strange?" He thought his elder brother had discovered something.

Lou Zixiu explained without hesitation, "This drowning may be due to him accidentally slipping and drowning, or being pushed into the water and drowning."

Lou Ziwei's expression changed, "You mean to say that the fourth sister might not have lost her footing and drowned herself, but was pushed into the water and drowned?"

"Whether that's the case, I don't know." Although he said this, Lou Zixiu was already convinced in his heart that the fourth sister must have been murdered by his second brother. As for the reason, it was probably because of that incident.

It seems that the fourth sister did see something she shouldn't have seen that day. Lou Zigang thought that the matter between himself and Aunt Wu was unknown to anyone. Apart from the two of them, only the fourth sister knew about it, so he killed her to silence her.

Little did he know that he had already noticed that the two were having an affair, and the reason why he did not expose them was just to expose the matter at the most appropriate time, so that Lou Zigang would be completely unable to turn over.

Now the opportunity has been given to him, but in order to prevent his father from thinking that he is disregarding brotherhood and adding insult to injury, he cannot reveal this secret.

He glanced at Lou Ziwei, and shook his head secretly for a moment. The third disciple was impatient, and he was afraid that if he failed to succeed, he would fail.

Lou Ziwei became more and more suspicious of his sister's death. "How could the fourth sister, who was so good, run to the pool to admire the moon alone, and drown to death by such a coincidence? Zhuangzili and the slaves around her probably lied. I will have the slave who served her before be arrested for questioning."

Lou Zixiu was afraid that he might alert the enemy, so he quickly stopped him, "My mother personally asked those maids around her after the Fourth Sister's accident. Go and ask them where they left your mother."

"Are we not going to care about Fourth Sister's death?

The patrol is just our conjecture and there is no evidence.》

"But..." After all, it was his sister, and knowing that she might be harmed by others, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

Lou Zixiu comforted him with gentle words, "Listen to brother, let's search secretly to see if we can find any clues."He can't let his third brother spoil his good deeds at this time and arouse the wariness of Lou Zigang's mother and son.

The fourth sister drowned in Zhuangzi, and he could see the doubts in it. How could Mrs. Qin not see it, but she did not pursue it further, and easily accepted the explanation from Zhuangzi. There was no guarantee that Mrs. Qin was not deliberately helping her son cover up.

The next day, Han Zhaocai was a little unbelievable when he learned that Mr. Yan actually let Lou Zigang go on the spot after interrogating him.

"Laichuan clearly identified him, why didn't Mr. Yan arrest him and let him go?"

"Lou Zigang countered that Lai Chuan falsely accused him out of revenge. Because he had no reason to commit the crime, Master Yan let him go.Of course, it is unavoidable that Master Yan released him because of his status as an imperial merchant of the Lou family."Lu Wanfeng explained.
