Chapter 1744: The Universe in the Sleeves, the Sun and the Moon in the Big Pot (1)
After being fed, Nangong Yi left with a satisfied look. The extreme happiness and satisfaction brought to him by his wife made him forget to pursue her inquiry into the male prisoners. He almost left in a trance.
Alas, men are animals that think for themselves.
Caiwei sighed, dragged her tired body to climb up, opened the file, and checked the criminal records of these death row prisoners.
After a long time of investigation, she chose a man named Lu Wu. Lu Wu was a person from the capital. He was only 22 years old this year. He had committed the crime of murder, fraud and rape and had been sentenced to death in the autumn by Yingtian Prefecture.
This Lu Wu was originally a butcher. His mother, Lu Pozi, was a matchmaker who went from house to house. When there was no matchmaker to do, she would carry a bamboo basket and visit people's homes. Under the pretext of selling silk flowers, she specialized in helping people do some sneaky and adulterous activities to make some dirty money. She was a famous Ma Bo Liu, a female Lu Jia.
Last year, this old lady Lu was commissioned by a wealthy young man in the city to seduce the daughter of the Pan family in the west of the city. When Lu Wu heard his mother talk about this, he couldn't help but get angry with the daughter of the Pan family, so he instigated her mother to deceive the daughter of the Pan family and asked her to leave the window open every night, while he pretended to be the young man and slept with the daughter of the Pan family.
The daughter of the Pan family had long been interested in the young man, but because of the tight family door, she could not meet her lover. Now with the help of old lady Lu, it was natural for her to succeed.
Lu Wu and the daughter of the Pan family slept for several nights, and the Pan couple gradually heard some noises. They were puzzled and interrogated their daughter several times, but the daughter refused to admit it. At night, when Lu Wu came to meet privately, the daughter of the Pan family told him that her parents had noticed it and asked him not to come again.
Lu Wu had tasted the sweetness, how could he not give up? He agreed verbally, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart. After four or five nights, he suddenly became lustful and couldn't hold back. He wanted to have fun with the daughter of the Pan family again, so he sneaked into the boudoir of the daughter of the Pan family.
Unexpectedly, the Pan family couple had exchanged bedrooms with their daughter because they suspected that their daughter had done something shameful, intending to catch the adulterer. When Lu Wu sneaked in, the couple had already fallen asleep. Before going to bed, the couple did something improper. Maybe they were too tired afterwards, and they didn't even put on clothes and fell asleep in each other's arms.
After Lu Wu sneaked in, he took advantage of the moonlight and saw a naked man and woman on the bed. He thought that the daughter of the Pan family had hooked up with someone else and deliberately made an excuse to break up with him. In anger, he went to the kitchen and killed the naked couple on the bed with a kitchen knife.
The next day, the daughter of the Pan family waited for her parents for a long time but they didn't get up. When she found the room, she found that her parents had been killed.
Later, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture went through a lot of trouble to catch the real murderer Lu Wu, but the daughter of the Pan family died because her parents died for her, and she hit her head and died after solving the case. The rich young man was mistaken for the murderer at first and was tortured. Although he was safe in the end, he fell ill after the shock and died soon after.
So, although Lu Wu killed two people, in fact, four people died because of him. He has been sentenced to death and will be executed in the autumn.
Caiwei chose him because it would be too easy to kill a criminal with several lives with just one knife, and he could be used to help Liu Xi.
Having made up her mind, Caiwei called Jia Yanhui, the newly appointed eunuch beside her, and ordered him to go to the prison to explain that during this period, Lu Wu should take good care of his body and let the imperial physician take his pulse regularly. When his body is strong and there is no problem, he will report to her.
She knew the rules of the prison. A poor prisoner like Lu Wu must have been beaten by the jailers. When Lu Wu was interrogated, he must have been tortured. So his health must be very poor. At this time, it was not appropriate to cut anything on him...
