Lu Jinping looked at it and found that there was indeed nothing to shelter the rain. So Yunzi put his robe on his body and the two of them walked down the stairs to the city in the rain.

Tongzhou City was already in a mess under the flood. They could see some debris floating in the accumulated water from time to time along the way. Lu Jinping found a hat. Although it was a little broken, it could basically block the rain. So he took it for Yunzi to wear it on his head. In this way, as long as he was not directly wet by the rain, his clothes would not be tightly attached to him and would be covered with shame.

With a hat and Lu Jinping's wide robe covering his body, there was no need to worry about his body being exposed. Yunzi then breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lu Jinping to continue walking into the city.

Passing by a city gate, Lu Jinping found sandbags like hills piled up at the city gate, blocking the entire city gate. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his reminder had worked. Governor Feng still adopted it and prepared a large number of sandbags in advance. Otherwise, he would not have been able to raise so many sandbags in a while.

Lu Jinping looked very embarrassed now and his hair was scattered. He was wearing a pair of pants with his upper body naked. He looked so embarrassed that no one could recognize him as the Lord of Tongzhou.

The two walked forward for a while and arrived at the Liuxiang Street, Tongzhou Huajie, and the tallest building on this street was Chunhualou.

The terrain here is relatively low-lying, and the water on the street has already spread to their thighs, and they wade through the water and walk forward.

Seeing that it was about to reach Chunhua Tower, Lu Jinping suddenly stopped and was a little confused because he found that there were several constables sitting on the high steps and up the threshold at the door of Chunhua Tower, staring at the people coming and going with dull eyes.

Lu Jinping thought to himself, have he ordered the withdrawal of the constable and Minzhuang? Why are so many constables coming here? Could it be that these constables were hired by the rich man Ma to help him protect his property so as not to rob the rioters in the chaos? But it doesn't look very similar.

So Lu Jinping wades over and recognizes at a glance that he is indeed the constable of their yamen. He asks: "What are you doing here?"

The two constables saw a young man talking to them with bare shirtless. They looked very handsome and had a bit of good impression. However, even the handsome guy could not joke with the constable in the yamen, so they became angry again. Just as they were about to get angry, they suddenly felt that the person in front of them seemed familiar. They quickly wiped the rain on their faces. After a closer look, they were actually the judicial lord Lu of the yamen. The two constables were startled and jumped up and ran down the steps, stepped into the water, nodded and bowed to Lu Jinping, "Sir, where are you? Governor Feng, Captain Xiong and others were looking for you in a crazy way. I heard that you had left the city and thought you were flooded... Hehehe, by the way, Judgment, Chunhualou has another murder case. We followed Captain Xiong to solve the case."

Lu Jinping was surprised: "Another murder occurred? What's going on?"

"There are three women who were burned to death, and one of them is..., that is..."

When Lu Jinping heard this, he saw the constable stuttering again. Obviously, the woman might have some connection with him, so he asked anxiously: "Who is it? Tell me quickly."

"It's the girl Tanhua Yufeng when she first chose the courtesan."

Lu Jinping's heart sank, and the woman with a hot figure and good calligraphy appeared in front of her. Why was she killed? She hurriedly said: "When did it happen? What happened?"

"When it was almost dawn, the people from Chunhualou ran to the yamen to report to the officials that someone was dead. At that time, we were busy blocking the city gate with sandbags. Many people were drowned, and dead people were everywhere, and bodies floated in the water. Who cares about so many people who died? How could they have time to cook this? So they just told them to go back and protect the scene and not let anyone move. When they finish the work, they came to investigate. Unexpectedly, after a while, they ran away and said that they found another corpse, which was burned. Governor Feng still didn't have time to pay attention. Unexpectedly, they ran away and said that they found another corpse. And this time, they found that the girl you like Yufeng was burned."

"Governor Feng asked Captain Xiong to come and check the situation quickly. Governor Feng has been instructing the use of sandbags to block the city gate holes and patrolling the city walls to prevent the flood from rushing in. All his efforts will be wasted. Governor Feng kept saying that fortunately the Lord reminded him to prepare a lot of sandbags in advance, which saved the lives of the whole city. After learning that you left the city, you were very anxious and worried that something would happen to you. Fortunately, the Lord Xun was auspicious and heavenly figure. Wouldn't you come back? Captain Xiong asked us to stay outside and not let someone in disturb the investigation of the case. They have been struggling inside for a long time, but probably have no clue. Sir, why don't you go back and rest first?"

Lu Jinping said: "Since a murder case has occurred, I have no choice but to rest, so why should I rest!"

After saying that, Lu Jinping quickly walked in, and Yunzi hurriedly followed. The two constables thought Yunzi was a idler who was watching the fun. They were about to stop him. One of them was sharp-eyed and recognized that the man was wearing the clothes that Lu Jue Ye often wore, and he looked very familiar. After looking closely, he was the female Tubo envoy who had been following Lu Jinping. He quickly retreated aside and let her follow him in.

After Lu Jinping brought Yunzi in, there were several constables in the hall. After seeing him, he quickly came up to show his respects and took Lu Jinping and the others to the crime scene.

The crime scene was divided into two parts: the front yard and the back yard. They came to a wing room in the front yard, and the captain Xiong was also here, talking to the rich man Ma and Niu ** at the door.

The constable who accompanied Lu Jinping shouted excitedly: "Catcher Bear, Master Lu is back, he is back safe!"

Captain Xiong was ecstatic when he heard this. He turned around and saw Lu Jinping naked, with his upper body scattered and embarrassed. He couldn't recognize him for a while. Yunzi, who followed him, had already taken off the hat on his head and blocked him in front of her chest. She was still worried that the wet clothes would reveal her body, so she only showed a pretty face. Captain Xiong recognized her instantly, just Yunzi, the female Tubo envoy who had been following Lu Jinping. The person in front should be Lu Jinping. He quickly stepped forward and took a closer look, right? It was indeed Lu Jinping.

Captain Xiong quickly bowed and bowed: "Sir, you are here. We are all worried about death. Governor Feng originally wanted to send someone out to find you, but the rain last night was really scary. In a blink of an eye, the flood spread across the embankment and drowned all the way to the city wall. The rain in the upper reaches was even heavier, like a pour, so the flood here caused us to surge."

Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these things first, talk about the case first, what's going on?"

Captain Xiong nodded and agreed, and said to the rich man Ma: "You come to report to the Lord, how did you find out that they were dead?"

The rich man Ma said to Lu Jinping with a sad face: "The thunderstorm last night scared us all. Several places in the city were hit by lightning, but the rain was too heavy. As soon as it started to burn, it was extinguished by the rain. However, someone was hit by lightning and killed. Later, the flood flooded into the city..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Captain Xiong quickly interrupted his words, "The water in the city basically did not flow in from outside, because governor Feng adopted the advice of the Lord and prepared a lot of sandbags in advance and piled up on the edge of the city. After a heavy rain, the sandbags were blocked, so the flood basically did not enter the city. The water in the city was made up of heavy rain falling and accumulated water. If you can't discharge it, naturally there will be water everywhere, not flowing in from outside. If you say that, then Master Lu and Governor Feng's contributions have been lost."

When the rich man Ma heard this, he was very frightened and quickly accused him of guilt and said, "I was wrong. Please forgive me. Because we didn't know, we thought the water outside the city had been flooded, we were frightened. We rushed to transfer things to a high place, and we were all in a mess, and we could not care about each other. We had been busy for most of the night. When it was almost dawn, we found that the water did not continue to rise and did not drown people. We were relieved. After this consolidation, someone found that the charred thing was floating in the water. After fishing it out, he found that it was a burnt body of a charred person, which had been burned to char, but it was still basically intact. We screamed in fear."

"I quickly went over and saw that the upper body of the body was burnt, and the thighs were still basically intact. There were still tattoos on his legs. Through the tattoo, he was confirmed that it was Jiao Laosi. He was a male servant in our front yard who was doing a mess. I don't know why he was burned like this. I quickly asked someone to report to the official. The person who went back and said that Governor Feng had no time and asked us to protect the scene first. So I asked someone to pick up the body, put it on a high place, and covered it with a white cloth. After a while, someone screamed and screamed that he saw someone burned to death. We hurried over again. It was a girl in the building, saying that there was a corpse in her room. We went in and saw that there was a corpse floating on the water in the room, leaving only one head still relatively complete, and the body was burned. Only half of the head was burned, but he could barely recognize his appearance. It was this girl's maid."

"We asked what happened. The girl said, after hearing that the city gate was blocked, the water in the city could not come in. Then she felt relieved. After struggling for a night, everyone felt tired and sleepy. Seeing that peace was safe, she went back to the room to rest. After she lay down on the bed, the maid wanted to go to the cottage. She said she didn't need to go. The cottage was washed away by the water and the cesspool was dirty. Don't think about going in. Just untied the toilet in the inner room, so the maid followed into the locker room and closed the door. The girl waited for a long time but didn't see it. She was a little strange. Did she fall asleep inside? She pushed the door and found that the body inside was charred and screamed in fear."

Lu Jinping asked: "How did Yufeng die? Where did he die?"

When the rich man Ma heard Lu Jinping’s words, he was very worried and said with a bitter face: “Sorry, I didn’t take good care of her. I didn’t expect anyone to attack her…”

"Okay, she is not someone else, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?" (To be continued.)
